Push-Button Shower Head Core-Shaft Pause and Spray Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shower heads cannot be paused directly or supply a small amount of water during specific tasks like shampooing or body washing, requiring multiple spray switches which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A push-button shower head with a movable core shaft, pause mechanism, and water distribution mechanism allowing for immediate pause and switch control via a push button, utilizing a water distributor and adapter for seamless water flow control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing shower heads use multiple spray switches to pause or switch functions, then different spray modes can be achieved, but the operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple spray mode switching functions into a single push-button control mechanism. The push button controls a core shaft that can rotate to different positions, each position corresponding to a different spray mode or pause state. This consolidation of control functions into one interface significantly improves ease of operation and eliminates the time required to manually switch between multiple separate spray switches.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing shower heads require switching several sprays to pause, then pause function can be achieved, but the operation is inconvenient and not natural
Solution Approach 1:
The push-button control mechanism serves multiple functions: it can pause water flow, switch between different spray modes (such as rain spray, massage spray, etc.), and potentially control water temperature or pressure. This multi-functional design allows the shower head to adapt to various user needs while maintaining simple and convenient operation through a single control interface.

AI summary
A push-button shower head configured to be paused at any time includes a body, where a movable core shaft is provided in the body; a water passing channel is formed in the core shaft; a pause mechanism configured to control whether to allow water to pass through the water passing channel is provided on the core shaft; the body is further provided with at least two water outlet channels; a water distribution mechanism is further provided in the body; and a water inlet end of the water distribution mechanism is configured to communicate with the water passing channel, and a water outlet end of the water distribution mechanism is configured to communicate with the water outlet channel. The push-button shower head can be paused at any time for water from different water outlet channels, thereby switching off the water flow, and providing a better experience feeling for the user.
