In order to improve the stability of the shower head structure, the massage shower head of this embodiment further includes a multifunctional sealing seat 4 and a water outlet sleeve 5 on the basis of the water outlet cover 2. The multifunctional sealing seat 4 is mounted on the front of the main body 1. The multifunctional sealing seat 4 is provided with a plurality of water drain holes 41 communicated with the water inlet 11. The water outlet cover 2 covers the multifunctional sealing seat 4. An inner side of the water outlet cover 2 is formed with a plurality of partitions 21. The partitions 21 divide the inner side of the water outlet cover 2 into a plurality of independent water chambers 22 and accommodation chambers 23. Wherein, the water chambers 22 are in communication with the plurality of water drain holes 41, respectively. The water outlet cover 2 is formed with a plurality of insertion holes 24 corresponding in position to the water chambers 22. The water outlet sleeve 5 is disposed between the water outlet cover 2 and the multifunctional sealing seat 4 and attached to the inner side of the water outlet cover 2. The water outlet sleeve 5 is formed with a plurality of guide posts 51 with water apertures 511 corresponding to the insertion holes 24. The guide posts 51 passes through the insertion holes 24 of the water outlet cover 2, respectively.
The massage balls 3 are movably disposed in the accommodation chambers 23, respectively. The openings 25 correspond in position to the accommodation chambers 23.
Preferably, the main body 1 is formed with a water passage 12 for the water inlet 11 to communicate with the water drain holes 41 of the multifunctional sealing seat 4. The water passage 12 guides the water entering the main body 1 to the water drain holes 41. The water flows from the water drain holes 41 to the water chambers 22 between the multifunctional sealing seat 4 and the water outlet cover 2. The multifunctional sealing seat 4 not only seals the non-drain portion of the main body 1 but also guides the water.
Preferably, in order to facilitate installation, the water outlet sleeve 5 is formed with notches 52 corresponding in position to the accommodation chambers 23.
Preferably, the front of the multifunctional sealing seat 4 is formed with a plurality of support bosses 42 corresponding in position to the massage balls 3 in the accommodation chambers 23 for supporting the massage balls 3. The surface of each support boss 42 is formed with a concave surface to match with the spherical surface of each massage ball 3. The bottom of the massage ball 3 in the accommodation chamber 23 is arranged on the concave surface of the support boss 42 so as to limit the position deviation of the massage ball 3 and ensure the stability of the rolling of the massage ball 3.
Preferably, the multifunctional sealing seat 4 is insertedly mounted on the front of the main body 1. The water outlet cover 2 is insertedly mounted on the multifunctional sealing seat 4. This inserted connection is an easy-to-implement assembly method, so that the shower head can be assembled quickly. The massage balls 3 disposed between the main body 1 and the water outlet cover 2 can be disassembled conveniently.
Preferably, the periphery of the opening 25 of each accommodation chamber 23 is formed with a stop ring 26 which is gradually reduced toward its center. The inner side of the water outlet cover 2 is divided into five accommodation chambers 23 through the partitions 21. One of the accommodation chambers 23 is located at the center of the water outlet cover 2, and the other four accommodation chambers 23 are equally spaced around the central accommodation chamber 23.
Further, the stop ring 26 formed on the periphery of the opening 25 of each accommodation chamber 23 is inclined from the outer side to the center of the water outlet cover 2.
Preferably, the massage shower head further includes a handle 6 connected to the main body 1, a water inlet tube 7 disposed in the handle 6, and a push-button water valve 8 disposed on a valve seat 71 of the water inlet tube 7. One end of the water inlet tube 7 is inserted in the water inlet 11. The push-button water valve 8 is composed of a spring 81, a valve core 82, a gasket 83, a fixing seat 84, an O-shaped sealing ring 85, a connecting shaft 86, a connecting shaft sleeve 87, a fixing tray 88, and a button 89. The valve core 82 can be pushed to move axially by pressing the button 89, thereby closing the waterway of the water inlet tube 7. When the button 89 is released, the waterway is opened.
When the present invention is installed, the multifunctional sealing seat 4 is first installed on the main body 1. The water outlet sleeve 5 is arranged at the inner side of the water outlet cover 2. The guide posts 51 of the water outlet sleeve 5 are inserted into the insertion holes 24, respectively. The massage balls 3 are placed in the accommodation chambers 23.
