Abstract

A rotating shower sprayer includes a housing, a cover plate component, and an impeller rotatably disposed in the housing. The top surface of the impeller has a blade. The eccentric position of the bottom surface of the impeller has a rotating shaft. The housing has an incline hole with respect to the blade. The shower sprayer also has a planetary reducing mechanism disposed in the housing. The planetary reducing mechanism comprises a gear sleeved on the rotating shaft and a fixing gear ring disposed on the internal revolution surface of the housing. The upper portion of the gear has a first stage reducing gear ring engaged to the fixing gear ring. The lower portion of the gear has a driving gear ring. The cover plate component is disposed with a second stage reducing gear ring that engages with the driving gear ring.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotatable shower sprayer, comprising:
a housing having an internal revolution surface and having an incline hole defined there through;
a cover plate component that is rotatable when water flows, that is comprised of a cover that has rotatably disposed therein a plurality of spraying nozzles each having a respective axis of rotation, the plurality of spraying nozzles being configured to rotate with the cover plate component and to rotate on each said respective axis of rotation when driven by rotation of the cover plate component, and that has disposed therein a second stage reducing gear;
an impeller that is rotatably disposed in the housing, that has a top surface, and that has a bottom surface including an eccentric position provided with a rotating shaft;
at least one blade disposed on the top surface of the impeller and the incline hole of the housing is disposed with respect to the at least one blade
a planetary reducing mechanism that is disposed in the housing, and that comprises:
a gear sleeved on the rotating shaft; and
a fixing gear ring disposed on the internal revolution surface of the housing, said gear having an upper portion that is disposed with a first stage reducing gear ring engaged to the fixing gear ring, and a lower portion that is disposed with a driving gear ring that engages the second stage reducing gear ring disposed in the cover plate component.

2. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the first stage reducing gear ring has a number of teeth that is less than that of the driving gear ring.

3. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises:
a connecting seat;
a fixing seat that is covered by the connecting seat, that has a top portion, that has said incline hole defined therein, and that has an internal revolution surface on which is disposed the fixing gear ring; and
a fixing cover that is connected to the top portion of the fixing seat to cover the impeller.

4. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting seat has an external surface that is threaded and connected to the housing.

5. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the impeller drives the cover plate component to rotate by the planetary reducing mechanism and the second stage reducing gear ring when water flows, and the plurality of spraying nozzles disposed in the cover plate component revolute with the cover plate component and rotate on the axis thereof by the driving of the fixing gear plate.

6. A rotatable shower sprayer, comprising
a housing;
a cover plate component;
an impeller that is rotatably disposed in the housing, that has a top surface on which a blade is disposed, and that has a bottom surface including an eccentric position provided with a rotating shaft;
a planetary reducing mechanism that is disposed in the housing, and that comprises:
a gear sleeved on the rotating shaft; and
a fixing gear ring disposed on the internal revolution surface of the housing, said gear having an upper portion that is disposed with a first stage reducing gear ring engaged to the fixing gear ring, and a the lower portion that is disposed with a driving gear ring;

a spindle having a top end that passes through the impeller to connect to a top portion of the housing, and having a bottom end that is inserted into the cover plate component to rotatably connect to the cover plate component; and
a fixing gear plate that is concentrically fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spindle,
wherein the cover plate component is disposed with a second stage reducing gear ring inside to be engaged with the driving gear ring,
wherein the housing is disposed with an incline hole with respect to the blade, and
wherein a plurality of spraying nozzles are disposed in the cover plate component in an annular array, and the plurality of spraying nozzles have an external surface that is disposed with a ring gear that engages the fixing gear plate.

7. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 6 , wherein the cover plate component further comprises:
an output rotating plate that is disposed in the housing;
a cover plate; and
a cover,
wherein the cover plate covers the plurality of spraying nozzles in the cover, and is fixedly connected to the output rotating plate which has an internal revolution surface, and
wherein the second stage reducing gear ring is disposed to the internal revolution surface of the output rotating plate.

8. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 7 , wherein the cover plate has threads and threadedly engages the output rotating plate.

9. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 7 , wherein a cup base is disposed in the cover, and the plurality of spraying nozzles are disposed in the cup base.

10. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 6 , wherein a cup base is disposed in the cover, and the plurality of spraying nozzles are disposed in the cup base.

11. The rotatable shower sprayer according to claim 6 , wherein the impeller drives the cover plate component to rotate by the planetary reducing mechanism and the second stage reducing gear ring, and the plurality of spraying nozzles in the cover plate component revolute with the cover plate component and rotate on the axis thereof by the driving of the fixing gear plate.

12. A rotatable shower sprayer, comprising
a housing;
a cover plate component having disposed therein a plurality of spraying nozzles;
an impeller that is rotatably disposed in the housing, that has a top surface on which a blade is disposed, and that has a bottom surface including an eccentric position provided with a rotating shaft; and
a planetary reducing mechanism that is disposed in the housing, and that comprises:
a gear sleeved on the rotating shaft; and
a fixing gear ring disposed on the internal revolution surface of the housing, said gear having an upper portion that is disposed with a first stage reducing gear ring engaged to the fixing gear ring, and a the lower portion that is disposed with a driving gear ring,
wherein the cover plate component is disposed with a second stage reducing gear ring therein that engage the driving gear ring,
wherein the housing is disposed with an incline hole with respect to the blade, and
wherein the shower sprayer comprises three rotating shafts arranged in annular array and three gears arranged in an annular array.
