A first female screw 121 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the first connector 12, and a second female screw 131 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the second connector 13.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the light emitting motor module 20 is disposed in the first connector 12 of the hose body 10 to generate power by water flow and emit light. The light-emitting module 20 has a housing 21, a generator 22, an impeller 23, a circuit board 24 and at least one LED 25. The housing 21 is disposed in the first connector 12 of the hose body 10, the housing 21 has at least one water inlet 211 and at least one water outlet 212, and water flow is guided into the housing 21 through the water inlet 211 and then guided out of the housing 21 through the water outlet 212; the generator 22 is fixed in the housing 21 to be driven by external force to generate electric power; the impeller 23 is disposed in the casing 21 and connected to the generator 22 to be driven by water flow to rotate, so as to drive the generator 22 to operate; the circuit board 24 is disposed in the housing 21 and electrically connected to the generator 22; the LED25 is disposed on the circuit board 24 to receive the power transmitted from the generator 22 to the circuit board 24 for emitting light.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the connecting seat 30 is made of a transparent material, and is a tube body penetrating axially. The inner periphery of the connecting socket 30 adjacent to the top end has an internal thread 31, and the outer periphery of the connecting socket 30 adjacent to the bottom end has an external thread 32. The connecting base 30 has a plurality of spaced abutting posts 33 protruding from the bottom end. The external thread 32 of the connection seat 30 is screwed with the first internal thread 121 of the first connection head 12 of the hose body 10, so that the abutting column 33 abuts against the top end of the housing 21 of the light-emitting motor module 20, and the abutting column 33 of the connection seat 30 abuts against the light-emitting motor module 20 to limit the position, thereby preventing the light-emitting motor module 20 from displacing or shaking.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the first gasket 40 abuts against the inside of the first connector 12 of the hose body 10 and the bottom end of the light-emitting motor module 20, so as to achieve the effects of preventing water leakage and stabilizing the position of the light-emitting motor module 20.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the second gasket 50 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the first connector 12 of the hose body 10 and the outer peripheral surface of the connector 30 to prevent water leakage.

The above description is a description of the components and the assembly method of the luminous hose 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the use characteristics thereof are described as follows:

in practice, the inner thread 31 of the connecting base 30 is screwed with a shower head 90 (as shown in fig. 4), and the second inner thread 131 of the second connector 13 of the hose body 10 is screwed with a faucet (not shown), so as to serve as an interface for guiding water flow between the faucet and the shower head 90.

When water enters the hose 100, as shown in fig. 5, the water first flows through the water channel 14 of the hose body 10, is guided from the water inlet 211 of the light-emitting motor module 20, and then is guided to the water outlet 212 and is discharged to the shower head 90, and at the same time, the water drives the impeller 23 to rotate, so that the impeller 23 drives the generator 22 to operate, and the generator 22 generates electricity to be transmitted to the circuit board 24, so that the LED25 obtains the electricity to start to emit light, and the emitted light is emitted outside through the transparent material of the connecting seat 30, so that a user can obtain an atmosphere emitting light while taking a shower, and the illumination is increased.

The hose 100 not only can emit light when water flows through the hose to obtain the light emitting atmosphere and increase the illumination, but also can be abutted and limited by the abutting columns 33 on the connecting seat 30 to the top end of the shell 21 of the light emitting motor module 20 to prevent the light emitting motor module 20 from displacing or shaking, so as to reduce the probability of damage to the light emitting motor module 20 and peripheral parts.

Moreover, since the hose 100 has simple parts, it is easy to disassemble, assemble, replace and maintain, which not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also allows the user to replace the parts by DIY.

Next, as shown in fig. 6, the hose further includes a temperature sensor 60, wherein the temperature sensor 60 is electrically connected to the circuit board 24 of the light-emitting module 20 and partially penetrates the housing 21 to sense the temperature of the water flowing through the housing, so as to adjust the light-emitting color of the LED. If the temperature sensor 60 senses that the temperature of the water flow is below 35 ℃, the circuit board 24 controls the LED25 to emit blue light; if the temperature sensor 60 senses that the temperature of the water flow is 35 ℃ to 45 ℃, the circuit board 24 controls the LED25 to emit orange light; if the temperature sensor 60 senses that the temperature of the water flow is above 45 ℃, the circuit board 24 controls the LED25 to emit red light; the warning effect is achieved by the difference of light colors.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and that variations, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the above embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art within the scope of the present invention.
