Abstract

A top spraying shower head with reset function comprises a shower head main body having: a waterway switch valve, an inlet passage, a first outlet hole, and a second outlet hole concentrically arranged in the direction of the inlet passage. The inlet passage with the first outlet hole or the second outlet hole form a first outlet passage and a second outlet passage respectively. The waterway switch valve comprises: a valve body having a slidable valve body that moves between a first position and a second position to close the first outlet passage or the second outlet passage; a sealing element which can open the first and second outlet passage; an elastic element abutting between one end of the valve spindle and the inner wall of the valve body; and a W-shaped camshaft rotatably assembled in the valve body.

Claims (23)

1. A top spraying shower head with reset function, wherein comprising a shower head main body and a waterway switch valve disposed in the shower head main body;

the shower head main body is disposed with an inlet passage and a first outlet hole, a second outlet hole that are concentrically arranged in the direction of the inlet passage; the inlet passage and the first outlet hole, the second outlet hole form a first outlet passage and a second outlet passage respectively;

the waterway switch valve comprises: a valve spindle slidably assembled in a valve body, the valve spindle is slidable between a first position and a second position so as to close the first outlet passage or the second outlet passage;

a sealing element, when the valve spindle is located in the first position, the sealing element closes the second outlet passage; when the valve spindle is located in the second position, the sealing element closes the first outlet passage;

an elastic element abutting between one end of the valve spindle and an inner wall of the valve body; when the valve spindle is located in the second position, the elastic element is compressed; and

a camshaft rotatably assembled in the valve body, one end of the camshaft is W shaped and has two connecting incline surfaces, the two incline surfaces are arranged left and right, the valve spindle is connected to a connecting portion of the two incline surfaces in driving way, the other end of the camshaft is rotatably connected in the valve body.

2. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet cover plate of the shower head main body is disposed with a button, one end of the button is connected to a pendulum in driving way.

3. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 2 , wherein the end of the pendulum is faced to the two incline surfaces and the pendulum can respectively contact with the two incline surfaces and push the two incline surfaces with the forward and backward movement of the button to drive the other end of the camshaft to rotate so as to drive the valve spindle to slide left or right.

4. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 3 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

5. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 2 , wherein the button is disposed with a lock block, the shower head main body is disposed with a protruding block coupled to the lock block; when the button is located in the initial position, the lock block abuts against the protruding block and stopped.

6. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 5 , wherein the end of the button is disposed with a reset spring.

7. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 6 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

8. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 2 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

9. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 5 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

10. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein when the valve spindle is located in the second position, the resilience force of the spring is less than the water pressure to the valve spindle; when the water supply is turned off, the valve spindle resets to the first position under the action of the resilience force of the elastic element.

11. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 10 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

12. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein the waterway switch valve has two sealing elements, when the valve spindle is located in the first position, the second sealing element closes the second outlet passage; when the valve spindle is located in the second position, the first sealing element closes the first outlet passage.

13. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 12 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

14. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein the waterway switch valve has one sealing element, the sealing element closes the first outlet passage or the second outlet passage with the valve spindle sliding to left or right.

15. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 14 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

16. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein the valve spindle is disposed with a Y shaped sealing ring at the outer side of the sealing element, the Y shaped sealing ring is always contacted with the inner wall of the waterway switch valve; when the valve spindle is located in the first position or the second position, the total force of the water pressure on the Y shaped sealing ring and the elastic force of the elastic element is slightly less than the water pressure on the sealing element.

17. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 16 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.

18. The top spraying shower head with reset function according to claim 1 , wherein the first outlet passage outflows shower water, the second outlet passage outflows massage water.
