Abstract

A side spraying shower head includes an inlet waterway; a cover unit with a first and second water cavity; a water diversion body covering the cover unit, the water diversion body having a first inlet hole connected to the first water cavity and a second inlet hole connected to the second water cavity; a fixation base attached to the water diversion body, the fixation base including a first connection waterway and a second connection; a switch shaft, laterally movable inside the fixation base, the central portion of the switch shaft including a seal portion disposed between the first and second connection waterway; a press mechanism attached to the cover unit to push the switch shaft to close the second connection waterway; an elastic element abuts against the switch shaft and the fixation base to push the switch shaft to close the first connection waterway.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A side spraying shower head, comprising:
an inlet waterway;
a cover unit with a first water cavity and a second water cavity;
a water diversion body covering the cover unit, the water diversion body comprising a first inlet hole which is connected to the first water cavity and a second inlet hole which is connected to the second water cavity;
a fixation base attached to the water diversion body, the fixation base including a first connection waterway which connects the inlet waterway and the first inlet hole and a second connection waterway which connects the inlet waterway and the second inlet hole;
a switch shaft, movable back and forth laterally inside the fixation base, a central portion of the switch shaft including a seal portion disposed between the first connection waterway and the second connection waterway to alternately close the first connection waterway and the second connection waterway;
a press mechanism attached to the cover unit to push the switch shaft to move at a first direction to close the second connection waterway;
an elastic element abuts against the switch shaft and the fixation base to push the switch shaft to move at a second direction to close the first connection waterway,
wherein
the press mechanism comprises a push block, where the push block is movable back and forth vertically inside the fixation base,
one side of the push block is provided with an inclined push face,
an end portion of the switch shaft is provided with a press-fit face, and
the press-fit face abuts against the inclined push face.

2. The side spraying shower head according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixation base comprises a main body and a valve body, the valve body is embedded into the main body,
the switch shaft runs through the valve body, the valve body is disposed with a breach,
a top portion of the main body is disposed with a punch,
a bottom portion of the main body is disposed with a first through hole and a second through hole,
the punch, an interior of the valve body, the breach and the first through hole are connected to form the first connection waterway,
the punch, an interior of the main body and the second through hole are connected to form the second connection waterway.

3. The side spraying shower head according to claim 1 , wherein
the switch shaft further comprises a first waterseal portion and a second waterseal portion, the seal portion is disposed between the first waterseal portion and the second waterseal portion,
a breach is disposed between the first waterseal portion and the seal portion,
a through hole is disposed between the seal portion and the second waterseal portion,
the seal portion, the first waterseal portion and the second waterseal portion have same section areas,
the first waterseal portion, the second waterseal portion are respectively sleeved with sealing rings.

4. The side spraying shower head according to claim 2 , wherein
the press mechanism further comprises a valve spool, a valve shaft and a reset element,
the reset element abuts against the fixation base and the push block,
the valve spool abuts against the bottom surface of the push block, the valve spool is disposed with inclined teeth,
the valve shaft is disposed with push teeth coupled to the inclined teeth, the valve shaft is movable back and forth vertically inside the cover unit,
the valve shaft pushes the valve spool to move vertically, so that the valve spool rotates.
