Patent Application
20200208384
The preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a shower faucet, and in particular to a press switch shower faucet.
Presently, most of the shower faucet is operated by a rotation or a lift-up approach, such that in the process of using water, water temperature can be changed. As such, the user has to adjust water temperature each time he utilizes water, thus causing quite inconvenience to the user.
Therefore, presently, the design and performance of the shower faucet is not quite satisfactory, and it leaves much room for improvements.
In view of the problems and drawbacks of the prior art, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a press switch shower faucet to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. In the present invention, water open/close and temperature adjusting functions are independent and separated from each other, such that when the user utilizes the water again, he may use it directly at the desired temperature, without the need to adjust the temperature of the water again.
The present invention provides a press switch shower faucet, that includes a main body, on which is disposed a hot water inlet hole and a cold water inlet hole; and a valve cartridge, disposed inside the main body, on the valve cartridge is disposed a rotation switch for adjusting temperature, and a press switch for controlling open or close of a water channel.
In an aspect of the present invention, the rotation switch and a press switch are operated along a same axis.
In another aspect of the present invention, the press switch shower faucet further includes a decoration cover, connected to the rotation switch and a press switch to act in cooperation. The decoration cover includes a press piece and a rotation piece. The press piece and the press switch are connected together to act in cooperation; and the rotation piece and the rotation switch are connected together to act in cooperation. The press piece is disposed in a center of the press piece.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, in the main body is disposed a first water inlet port in communication with the hot water inlet hole, and a second water inlet port and a water outlet port in communication with the cold water inlet hole.
In a further aspect of the present invention, in the main body is disposed a positioning hole, and on the valve cartridge is disposed an outside-hanging device acting in cooperation with the positioning hole.
In an aspect of the present invention, on the main body is provided with a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole.
In another aspect of the present invention, a guide partition piece is disposed between the first water outlet hole and the second water outlet hole.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, on the main body is disposed water stop pieces.
In a further aspect of the present invention, two water stop pieces are provided, and are disposed symmetrically along a central axial line of the main body.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, the main body further includes a press tight cover.
In the present invention, a rotation switch is disposed for adjusting water temperature, and a press switch is disposed to control opening/closing of a water channel. The rotation switch and the press switch are separate and independent without the risk of interfering with each other, so that the next time the user utilizing water, he may use the water directly without the need of adjusting water temperature, in achieving better satisfaction for the user.
Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed descriptions given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed descriptions and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the present invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed descriptions.
Embodiments of the present invention are described below, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The purpose, construction, features, functions and advantages of the present invention can be appreciated and understood more thoroughly through the following detailed descriptions with reference to the attached drawings.
Refer to
As shown in
In the main body 10 is disposed a positioning hole 18, and on the valve cartridge 20 is disposed an outside hanging device 29 acting in cooperation with the positioning hole 18.
Further, the valve cartridge 20 includes a balance module 23 and a regulation module 24. The rotation switch 21 and the press switch 22 are both disposed on the regulation module 24. More specifically, the rotation switch 21 and the press switch 22 are operated along a same axis.
The rotation switch 21 and a press switch 22 are connected to the decoration cover 30 to act in cooperation. The decoration cover 30 includes a press piece 31 and a rotation piece 32. The press piece 31 and the press switch 22 are connected together to act in cooperation, and the rotation piece 32 and the rotation switch 21 are connected together to act in cooperation. The press piece 31 is disposed in a center of the press piece 31. To be more specific, on the rotation piece 32 is disposed a protrusion block for the user to hold on. The disposition of the decoration cove 30 imparts esthetical sense to the press switch shower faucet, while facilitating operation for the user.
In the main body 10 is disposed a first water inlet port 26 in communication with the hot water inlet hole 11, and a second water inlet port 27 in communication with the cold water inlet hole 12, and a water outlet port 28 is disposed in the main body 10. The rotation switch 21 controls the sizes of openings of the first water inlet port 26 and the second water inlet port 27 through the valve cartridge 20 by means of the cooperation area of the first water inlet port 26 and the second water inlet port 27, to control temperature of water. The press switch 22 is adapted to control the opening/closing of the water output port 28, hereby controlling water output or water stoppage of the shower faucet.
On the main body 10 is disposed a first water outlet hole 16 and a second water outlet hole 17, and a guide partition piece 40 is disposed between the first water outlet hole 16 and a second water outlet hole 17.
On the main body 10 is provided with two water stop pieces 50, and the two water stop pieces 50 are disposed symmetrically along a central axial line of the main body 10.
In application, the user may use the decoration cover 30 to operate on and control the rotation switch 21 and the press switch 22. The press switch 22 on the regulation module 24 includes a press rod 22a , and the press rod 22a acts in cooperation with the press piece 31. As such, when pressing down the press piece 31, the water outlet port 28 is blocked, so the water channel is blocked. When pressing down the press piece 31 again, the water outlet port 28 is opened, so the water channel is opened. Further, the rotation piece 32 on the decoration cover 30 is used to control the rotation switch 21. Through rotating the rotation piece 32, the opening sizes of the first water inlet port 26 and the second water inlet port 27 can be controlled, in achieving regulation of water temperature. After water temperature is regulated, the temperature can be kept stable and constant by not rotating the rotation piece 32 again.
The above detailed description of the preferred embodiment is intended to describe more clearly the characteristics and spirit of the present invention. However, the preferred embodiments disclosed above are not intended to be any restrictions to the scope of the present invention. Conversely, its purpose is to include the various changes and equivalent arrangements which are within the scope of the appended claims.
