As shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the flow dividing assembly 120 may include three groups of water inlets 1201, i.e., the first group of water inlets 12011, the second group of water inlets 12012 and the third group of water inlets 12013, and each group may include two water inlets 1201. Each of the water inlets 1201 of the three groups of water inlets 1201 may be disposed alternatively in sequence surrounding the rotation axis of the water distributing disc 200, i.e., the two water inlets 1201 of the same group are oppositely disposed. The water distributing disc 200 may include two water passing holes 210, the two water passing holes 210 may be symmetrically disposed. When the water distributing disc 200 is rotated, the two water passing holes 210 may be communicated with the two water inlets 1201 of the same group in one-to-one correspondence.

It may be understood that, when the water passing holes 210 of the water distributing disc 200 are initially communicated with the first group of water inlets 12011, after the water distributing disc 200 rotates a round, the water passing holes may be switched back to be communicated with the first group of water inlets 12011. That is, when using the shower head, the user can continuously turn the water distributing disc 200 towards one direction to switch the water outlet ways, and the water outlet way can be switched back to the initial state without a reverse operation, so as to save time and effort.

In some other embodiments, the flow dividing assembly 120 may also include two, four or five groups of water inlets 1201, etc., and each group of water inlets 1201 may include one, three or five water inlets 1201, etc. Correspondingly, the water distributing disc 200 may include the water passing holes 210, which have an equal number of each group of water inlets 1201.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, the shower head body 100 further includes the water supply pipe 131 and the cover 132. The cover 132 may be disposed on the side of the water distributing disc 200 away from the flow dividing assembly 120, and the cover 132 may be fixedly and hermetically connected to the flow dividing assembly 120. Additionally, a gap is disposed between the cover 132 and the water distributing disc 200. The guiding cavity 140 is formed between the cover 132 and the water distributing disc 200, and the guiding cavity 140 may be communicated with the water passing holes 210 in the water distributing disc 200.

The water supply pipe 131 may be mounted in the shell assembly 110, and one end of the water supply pipe 131 may be connected to the cover 132 and communicated with the guiding cavity 140.

The two branch pipes 1312 may be connected to one end of the main pipe 1311 near the guiding cavity 140. Accordingly, one end of each of the two branch pipes 1312 away from the main pipe 1311 may be connected to the cover 132 and communicated with the guiding cavity 140. The end of the main pipe 1311 away from the two branch pipes 1312 may be configured to be communicated with the shower pipes.

In conjunction with FIG. 5, the connecting post 220 is protrudingly disposed on one side of the water distributing disc 200 near the cover 132. The connecting post 220 is disposed on the cover 132 and protrudes relative to the side of the cover 132 away from the flow dividing assembly 120. In the embodiment, the connecting post 220 may be hermetically connected to the cover 132 at connecting position through a sealing ring, so as to prevent the occurrence of water leakage.

The ratchet wheel 300 may be fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 220 protruding relative to the cover 132 by means of a circlip. It may be understood that, the ratchet wheel 300 may be disposed on the side of the cover 132 away from the flow dividing assembly 120. Additionally, a matching surface of the ratchet wheel 300 and the connecting post 220 may be non-circular, which prevents a relative rotation between the ratchet wheel 300 and the water distributing disc 200.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a ring of ratchet teeth 310 is configured on periphery of the ratchet wheel 300. In some embodiments, the connecting rod 500 is slidably disposed in the assembly cavity 1101, and may be placed on the side of the flow dividing assembly 120 near the ratchet wheel 300. The end of the connecting rod 500 away from the key 400 may extend to one side of the ratchet wheel 300, and may be separately disposed to the ratchet wheel 300. The other end of the connecting rod 500 may extend between the two branch pipes 1312.

In some embodiments, the first driving pawl 510 is disposed on the end of the connecting rod 500 away from the key 400. The first driving pawl 510 may be disposed on the side of the connecting rod 500 near the ratchet wheel 300, and the first driving pawl 510 is movably connected between two adjacent ratchet teeth 310.

Additionally, a driving direction parallel to a slidable direction of the connecting rod 500 may be configured. When sliding along the driving direction, the connecting rod 500 may be moved towards a direction away from the main pipe 1311, and may push the ratchet wheel 300 to rotate by the first driving pawl 510, and the first driving pawl 510 may be switched between the ratchet teeth 310 by way of one to one, so as to switch the water outlet ways.

In some embodiments, the second connecting block 520 is configured on the end of the connecting rod away 500 from the key 400, the second connecting block 520 may be extended to the side near the flow dividing assembly 120. Additionally, the second connecting block 520 may be disposed at an end of the first driving pawl 510 away from the key 400.

Correspondingly, the first connecting block 121 is protrudingly disposed at the side of the flow dividing assembly 120 near the connecting rod 500, and the first connecting block 121 may be oppositely and separately disposed from the second connecting block 520. Additionally, the first connecting block 121 may be disposed at the end of the second connecting block 520 near the key 400, i.e., the second connecting block 520 may be disposed on the front side of the first connecting block 121 along the driving direction of the connecting rod 500.

One end of the reset elastic member 600 may be fixedly connected to the first connecting block 121, the other end of the reset elastic member 600 may be fixedly connected to the second connecting block 520. When the key 400 is not pressed, the reset elastic member 600 may be in a tensile or naturally elongated state. In some embodiments, a tension spring may be selected for the reset elastic member 600.

In some other embodiments, an elastic cord may also be selected as the reset elastic member 600, etc.

When the key 400 is pressed and the connecting rod 500 slides along the driving direction, the reset elastic member 600 may be in the tensile state and stores the elastic potential energy. When the pressing force acting on the key 400 is withdrawn, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the reset elastic member 600, the connecting rod 500 may be reset along the driving direction in a reverse sliding way, and drive the key 400 to be reset synchronously.

In some other embodiments, the second connecting block 520 may also be disposed at the end of the first driving pawl 510 near the key 400. The first connecting block 121 may also be protrudingly disposed at the side of the cover 132 or the water supply pipe 131 near the ratchet wheel 300. The second connecting block 520 may be disposed on the front side of the first connecting block 121 along the driving direction of the connecting rod 500.

In some other embodiments, the second connecting block 520 may be disposed on a rear side of the first connecting block 121 along the driving direction of the connecting rod 500. When the connecting rod 500 is slid along the driving direction, the reset elastic member 600 may be in a contraction state and stores the elastic potential energy.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the abutting part 530 is disposed at the end of the connecting rod 500 near the key 400, and the abutting part 530 may be protrudingly disposed at the side of the connecting rod 500 near the key 400. The guiding plate 410 is disposed at the second end 402 of the key 400, and the guiding plate 410 may be protrudingly disposed at the side of the key 400 near the interior of the shell assembly 110, i.e., near the side near the connecting rod 500. Additionally, the guiding bevel 411 is further disposed at the side of the guiding plate 410 near the connecting rod 500. The guiding bevel 411 may be gradually inclined towards the direction near the connecting rod 500 from the end near the first end 401 to the end away from the first end 401.

When the user presses the second end 402 of the key 400, the guiding bevel 411 presses the abutting part 530 of the connecting rod 500 and pushes the abutting part 530 to slide along the driving direction, and meanwhile the abutting part 530 may be slid along the guiding bevel 411. When the connecting rod 500 is reset under the action of the reset elastic member 600, the abutting part 530 may react to the guiding bevel 411 and push the key 400 to reset together.

In some embodiments, a surface of the abutting part 530 near the guiding bevel 411 may be the circular arc surface. Therefore, a friction between the guiding bevel 411 and the abutting part 530 may be reduced, the resistance when the user operates is reduced, so as to facilitate the operation by the user and further improve the use experience for the user.

In conjunction with FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, two limiting plates 560 are further protrudingly disposed at the side of the connecting rod 500 near the key 400. The two limiting plates 560 may be disposed at two side of the abutting part 530 individually, and protrude relative to the side of the abutting part 530 near the key 400. In the embodiment, the guiding plate 410 of the key 400 may be disposed between the two limiting plates 560, which may prevent the abutting part 530 from separating from the guiding bevel 411 in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction, and may also ensure that the key 400 can act on the abutting part 530 smoothly to push the connecting rod 500 to slide.

Additionally, the limiting block 412 is further protrudingly disposed at the side of the guiding plate 410 near the connecting rod 500. The limiting block 412 may be disposed at the end of the guiding bevel 411 away from the first end 401, and the limiting block 412 may protrude relative to the side of the guiding bevel 411 near the connecting rod 500. In the embodiment, in a direction parallel to the slidable direction of the connecting rod 500, the limiting block 412 may be configured to prevent the abutting part 530 from departing from the guiding bevel 411. Therefore, it ensures that the connecting rod 500 may smoothly push the key 400 to reset during the reset process.

In some embodiments, the guiding strips 13121 are protrudingly disposed at the sides of the two branch pipes 1312 close to each other. The two guiding strips 13121 may proximately extend along the slidable direction of the connecting rod 500, and be disposed at intervals. Correspondingly, two symmetrical guiding blocks 540 are protrudingly disposed at both sides of the connecting rod 500, the guiding slots 541 are disposed in both guiding blocks 540, and the two guiding slot 541 may be disposed away from each other. The two guiding strips 13121 may be slidably mounted in the two guiding slots 541 by way of one to one.

When the connecting rod 500 is slid, the guiding strip 13121 may be matched with the guiding slot 541 to provide a guiding function for the connecting rod 500 when sliding, which may prevent the connecting rod 500 from being inclined, etc., so as to ensure the connecting rod 500 to be slid smoothly.

In some embodiments, the limiting flange 420 is protrudingly disposed on a circumferential position, wherein the circumferential position is placed at interior of the key 400 near the shell assembly 110. When the key 400 is not pressed by the user, the limiting flange 420 may be abutted against the interior wall of the shell assembly 110, which may limit the key 400 from departing from the shell assembly 110. Additionally, in some embodiments, the first end 401 of the key 400 may be rotationally connected between the two branch pipes 1312 by structures such as a rotation shaft.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the shower head structure 1000 further includes the limiting pawl 800. The limiting pawl 800 may be fixedly mounted at the side of the cover 132 near the ratchet wheel 300, and the limiting pawl 800 may be disposed at a circumferential side of the ratchet wheel 300. In the embodiment, the limiting pawl 800 may be movably snapped between two adjacent ratchet teeth 310.

When the connecting rod 500 is slid along the driving direction to drive the ratchet wheel 300 to rotate, the limiting pawl 800 may be switched between the two corresponding ratchet teeth 310 and prevent the ratchet wheel 300 from rotating reversely, which ensures that the ratchet wheel 300 and the water distributing disc 200 are maintained at a position after rotation, and also ensures that the flow dividing assembly 120 is maintained as a water outlet way after switched. It may be understood that when the connecting rod 500 pushes the ratchet wheel 300 to rotate, the rotation direction of the ratchet wheel 300 may be noted as positive direction, and negative direction conversely.

Embodiment 3

The embodiment provides a shower head structure 1000, compared with the Embodiment 2, the differences of which may further include as follows.

As shown in FIG. 8, the shower head structure 1000 further includes the driving wheel 700, wherein the driving wheel 700 may be rotationally mounted on the connecting post 220 of the water distributing disc 200, and may be placed at the side of the ratchet wheel 300 near the water distributing disc 200.

In some embodiments, the second driving pawl 710 and connecting lug 720 are disposed at periphery of the driving wheel 700.

The waist hole 721 extending along radial direction of the driving wheel 700 is disposed on the connecting lug 720. The axis pin 550 is protrudingly disposed at the end of the connecting rod 500 away from the key 400. The axis pin 550 may be disposed in the waist hole 721 and may be slid in the waist hole 721 along radial direction of the driving wheel 700. The second driving pawl 710 is movably snapped between two adjacent ratchet teeth 310 in the ratchet wheel 300.

When the connecting rod 500 is slid along the driving direction, the driving wheel 700 may be driven to rotate along the first rotation direction through the cooperation of the axis pin 550 and the connecting lug 720. Then the ratchet wheel 300 may be driven to rotate by the second driving pawl 710, and the second driving pawl 710 may be switched between the ratchet teeth 310 one by one.

In some embodiments, the connecting arm 730 is further protrudingly disposed at the periphery of the driving wheel 700. The third connecting block 122 is protrudingly disposed at the side of the flow dividing assembly 120 near the water distributing disc 200. Along the first rotation direction, the connecting arm 730 may be disposed on the front side of the third connecting block 122. The reset elastic member 600 may be connected between the third connecting block 122 and the connecting arm 730.

When the driving wheel 700 is not driven by the connecting rod 500, the reset elastic member 600 may be in the naturally elongated state or tensile state. When the user presses the key 400, the connecting rod 500 is driven to slide along the driving direction, the driving wheel 700 may be driven to rotate along the first rotation direction, and the reset elastic member 600 may be in the tensile state and stores the elastic potential energy. When the user withdraws the pressure on the key 400, the driving wheel 700 may be rotated and reset along the second rotation direction by the action of the reset elastic member 600, and the key 400 may be driven to reset by the connecting rod 500 at the same time. It may be understood that the second rotation direction may be opposite to the first rotation direction.

In some other embodiments, along the first rotation direction, the third connecting block 122 may also be disposed on the front side of the connecting arm 730. When the driving wheel 700 is rotated along the first rotation direction, the connecting arm 730 gradually presses the reset elastic member 600, and the reset elastic member 600 may be in the contraction state and stores the elastic potential energy.

The embodiment also provides a shower device, which may include the shower head structure 1000 provided in the embodiments foregoing.
