DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

Please refer to the FIG. 1. The LCD shower 100 of the present invention includes a body part 10 with waterway, an information acquisition module 20, a transparent or semitransparent display module 30, a CPU 40 connected to the information acquisition module 20 and the display module 30 and a power module 50 to supply power to the information acquisition module 20, the display module 30 and the CPU 40; the information acquisition module 20, the display module 30, the CPU 40 and the power module 50 are assembled inside the body part 10.

The body part 10 is disposed with a front surface A faced to the user and a back surface B opposite to the front surface. The body part 10 includes a body 12, a cover 14 and a box body 11 to assemble with the CPU 40. The body 12 is fixed to the cover 14. The front end of the body 12 is disposed with a first through hole 122, the front end of the cover 14 is disposed with a second through hole 142. a clearance 16 is disposed between the periphery of the body 12 corresponding to the first through hole 12 and the periphery of the cover 14 corresponding to the second through hole 14. The first through hole 122 and the second through hole 142 are coupled to form a throughout hole 18. The throughout hole 18 is running through the front surface A and the back surface B of the body part 10.

The information acquisition module 20 can be applied with a temperature acquisition module to detect the water temperature or a detecting module to detect the water pressure or flow rate, it can send the signal to the CPU 40.

The display module 30 is a multicolor backlight guiding display module, the color of the display module changes according to the water temperature. The display module 30 includes an LCD screen 32, a first light guiding panel 34 and a second light guiding panel 36. The LCD screen 32 is double displayed. The first light guiding panel 34 is faced and connected to the front surface of the LCD screen 32, while the second light guiding panel 36 is faced and connected to the back surface of the LCD screen 32. The first light guiding panel 34 and the second light guiding panel 36 are seal adhered or welded together. The clearance between the first light guiding panel 34 and the second light guiding panel 36 is filled with transparent and solid filler 35. The opposite sides of the first light guiding panel 34 and the second light guiding panel 36 are separately disposed with a layer of uniform concave-convex spots 37. The concave-convex spots are applied to make the light evenly diffused to the LCD screen 32 to display different color. The LCD screen 32, the first light guiding panel 34 and the second light guiding panel 36 are transparent. In unused condition, the display module 30 is transparent so that user can see the back of the display module 30 through the first light guiding panel 34, the LCD screen 32 and the second light guiding panel 36. In used condition, the LCD screen 32 is transparent expect the display part of the LCD screen 32. So the LCD module 30 is semi-transparent while in work.

The CPU 40 is applied to drive the display module 30 to display the information the information acquisition module 20 detects. The CPU 40 is disposed with light resources with different color (which is not figured out in the drawings), the light of the light resource lights up the display module 30 to make it display different color. For example, when the water temperature is high, the light resource gives off red to make the display module 30 glowed red; when the water temperature is low, the light resource gives off blue to make the display module 30 glowed blue.

The power module 50 is applied to supply power for the information acquisition module 20, the display module 30 and the CPU 40. The power module 50 is converted the water flow of the body part 10 into electrical energy.

Please refer to the FIG. 2 to the FIG. 6. The display module 30 is assembled in the throughout hole 18 and connected in the clearance 16. The first light guiding panel 34 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the first through hole 122 to ensure the sealing performance; the second light guiding panel 36 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the second through hole 142 to ensure the sealing performance. The CPU 40 is assembled inside the box body 11. An O ring 60 is disposed between the opposite surfaces of the body 12 and the first light guiding panel 34 of the display module 30 and an O ring 60 is disposed between the opposite surfaces of the cover 14 and the second light guiding panel 36 of the display module 30 to improve the sealing performance of the display module 30 and the body part 10.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the patent for invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the patent for invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
