Abstract

A switching method of a button switching shower includes: step 1, pressing a button slidingly connected to the shower, and then the button slides; step 2, the button acts on the linking seat of the pawl for rotating the pawl; step 3, the pawl rotates the ratchet wheel through the control end of the pawl, and the shape of the elastic claw of the pawl is changed for restoring energy; step 4, the rotation of the ratchet wheel rotates the water diversion disc, and then the water diversion disc is in place, and then the water diversion disc switches the outlet functions, the stopping claw of the pawl is against the ratch of the ratchet wheel for stopping the ratchet wheel inversion; step 5, the pressing is loosened for resetting the button, and the elastic energy of the elastic claw is released for resetting the pawl.

Claims (13)

1. A button switching shower, comprising:

a fixed unit having at least two outlet functions arranged therein;

a switching mechanism comprising a button that is slidingly connected to the fixed unit;

a pawl rotationally connected to the fixed unit, and being provided with a linking seat and a control end, a transmission connection relationship being formed by the linking seat and the button, so that the button can act on the linking seat to drive the pawl to rotate;

a ratchet wheel rotationally connected to the fixed unit, and being connected to the control end of the pawl, so that the control end of the pawl can drive the ratchet wheel to rotate;

a water diversion disc rotationally arranged in the fixed unit, a synchronous rotation connection relationship being formed by the water diversion disc and the ratchet wheel, so that the ratchet wheel can drive the water diversion disc to rotate, the outlet functions being switched by the relative rotation of the water diversion disc to the fixed unit;

an elastic claw, a boss, and two limited posts, wherein,

the pawl pivots on the boss and is also provided with the elastic claw limited in movement between the two limited posts that are arranged in the fixed unit for resetting the pawl;

wherein, the fixed unit comprises a body, a water diversion body, water diversion holes, a clearance and an outlet terminal, the outlet terminal being fixedly connected below the body with a plurality of outlet functions, the water diversion body being between the body and the outlet terminal, the clearance being the space between the body and the outlet terminal, and a cylindrical inlet cavity that is in fluid communication with a water flow input, is formed by the water diversion body and the body;

the water diversion holes correspond one-to-one to the outlet functions and are arranged in the part of the water diversion body corresponding to the cylindrical inlet cavity, and an outlet hole being arranged on the water diversion disc; and

the water diversion disc is rotationally mounted in the cylindrical inlet cavity, the water diversion disc and the water diversion body can be hermetically connected to each other and rotate relatively, one of several groups of the water diversion holes and the inlet cavity are communicated with the outlet hole through the rotation of the water diversion disc.

2. A button switching shower according to claim 1 , wherein, a synchronizing shaft is convexly arranged on the water diversion disc, and the synchronizing shaft passes through the body hermetically; the ratchet wheel is connected to the synchronizing shaft to form a synchronous rotation connection relationship between the ratchet wheel and the water diversion disc.

3. A button switching shower according to claim 1 , wherein, the fixed unit also comprises a top cover that covers and connects to the body.
