The present invention relates to a plug of sanitary ware, particularly to a holder device with waterway switching function.
Traditional sanitary wares like home use shower head comprises a switch valve, a fixing shower head, a hand held shower and a plug; the switch valve is disposed with an inlet waterway and two diversion waterways, the two diversion waterways are respectively connected to the fixing shower head and the hand held shower, the switch valve controls the fixing shower head or the hand held shower to outlet water; the holder is disposed with a plug portion for the hand held shower to plug. This kind of shower head has disadvantages: 1. The switch valve and the holder are independently disposed, they occupies large space and they are assembled inconveniently. 2. The waterways are switched manually, the shower head is not convenient to use.
To solve the shortcomings, someone proposes a solution titled a plug type shower head switch device in the Chinese patent database with publishing number CN201088942Y; the switch device is disposed with an inlet and two outlets at a plug, two outlets are respectively connected to the flexible pipe of the shower head and the outlet pipe of the top spraying shower head, a moving switch bolt is disposed between the two outlets, the front end of the switch bolt is elastically protruding to the sleeve of the front portion of the holder.
