In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, 4 to 9, the shower includes a seat 100, a spray arm assembly, a massage assembly 300, and a heating assembly 400.

The seat 100 includes a seat pan 110 and a backrest 120 provided at one side of the seat pan 110;

the spray arm assembly comprises spray arms 200 respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the backrest 120, and each spray arm 200 is provided with a nozzle 210;

the massage assembly 300 is provided on the backrest 120 for massaging the back of the user;

the heating assembly 400 is provided to the seat plate 110 for heating the upper surface of the seat plate 110.

In this embodiment, the seat plate 110 provides a sitting position for a user, and the backrest 120 provides a back support for the sitting position of the user, so that a special crowd (such as the elderly, disabled, physically inconvenient users, patients, etc.) can sit comfortably for bathing. The spray arms 200 are provided at opposite sides of the backrest 120, and the spray arms 200 are provided with nozzles 210, so that a user can enjoy the comfort of shower bath in a sitting state by using the characteristic that the nozzles 210 spray water. Meanwhile, when the user sits on the seat 100, the massage assembly 300 provided on the backrest 120 can massage the user's back, clean the user's back, and also can relax the body, thereby alleviating fatigue. The upper surface of the seat board 110 is heated by the heating assembly 400, so that the temperature of the seat board 110 is increased before bathing, the temperature of the upper surface of the seat board 110 is increased to a more comfortable temperature of a human body, and the comfort level of a user in autumn and winter with colder weather is improved.

It can be appreciated that the shower is multifunctional shower equipment, and can provide a seat function, a massage function, a shower function, a heating and relieving function in advance and the like for a user, so that the user can bath more safely and comfortably, and the experience of the user is improved. Of course, in practical application, the user selects one or more corresponding functions according to own needs, for example, when in summer with higher temperature, the heating assembly 400 can not be started before bathing; such as during the lower temperature autumn and winter season, the heating assembly 400 can be started to heat the seat plate 110 before bathing; if the user wants to wash out quickly or the body of the user is not suitable for massage, the shower function can be selected only, and the massage function is not started; if the user is tired and needs to be relieved, the massage function and the shower function can be started; if the user does not take a bath but only wants to apply heat to the buttocks, the shower function may not be turned on, and only the heating assembly 400 is turned on to heat the seat plate 110 to the buttocks of the user; if the user simply wants to massage the back, the shower function is not started, and only the massage function is started to massage the back for comfort, and the like. The mode of use of the shower is based on the specific needs of the user and is not specifically set forth herein.

In practical applications, the seat 100 may be configured in a fixed structure or a foldable structure, and when configured in a fixed structure, reference may be made to an existing conventional seat structure, which is not described herein. When configured in a collapsible configuration, the seat pan 110 and the backrest 120 are movably coupled, which may be a swivel, sliding, or hinge type connection. Alternatively, the backrest 120 may be fixed on a wall, and the seat board 110 is a movable member, and when the seat board 110 is rotatably connected, the seat board 110 is rotatably folded towards the backrest 120 to be received in the wall; in the case of a sliding connection, the seat plate 110 may be configured as a telescopic member, sliding toward the backrest 120 to be received in the wall; in the case of a hinge connection, the seat pan 110 may fold upon itself to the backrest 120. Alternatively, when neither the backrest 120 nor the seat plate 110 is fixed to the wall, the backrest 120 and the seat plate 110 may be moved to a folded state with each other, so as to be convenient for storage, and not occupy space.

In the practical application process, the spray arm 200 may be fixedly connected or movably connected with the backrest 120, and when the spray arm 200 is fixedly connected, the spray arm 200 extends directly towards one side of the seat board 110, so that the spray nozzle 210 on the spray arm 200 can spray water towards a user sitting on the seat board 110 to realize a shower function. In the case of the movable connection, the user can adjust the height and the direction of the spray arm 200, the spray direction, the spray angle, the spray position of the nozzle 210, and the like according to his own needs, and optionally, the spray arm 200 is rotatably connected or slidably connected with the backrest 120. Alternatively, the number of nozzles 210 may be one or more.

In the practical application process, the specific structure and the massage manner of the massage assembly 300 may be determined according to the practical situation, for example, the massage assembly 300 may be a hydrodynamic nozzle, a bump structure, a rolling brush structure, a massage ball structure, or an electro-stimulation massage structure, so long as the fatigue of the user body can be relieved.

In the practical application process, the specific heating mode and heating structure of the heating assembly 400 may be determined according to practical situations, for example, electric heating, hot air heating, gas heating, hot water heating, etc. may be used. Of course, in practical application, the application occasion of the shower needs to be considered to be relatively moist, so that when electric heating or gas heating is adopted, a better insulation and waterproof effect needs to be ensured, and when hot air heating or hot water heating is adopted, hot air or hot water can flow to the seat board 110 to be heated in a pipeline mode, so that safety is ensured.

In the practical application process, the structure of the seat board 110 may also be determined according to practical situations, for example, the upper surface of the seat board 110 may be slightly concave to adapt to the shape of the buttocks of the user, increase the contact area with the human body, and improve the comfort. Based on this, the seat plate 110 may be provided with a drain port 101 at the recess so as to drain water flowing onto the seat plate 110 during bathing, thereby avoiding water accumulation. The structure of the backrest 120 may also be set according to ergonomics, for example, the surface of the backrest 120 contacting the back of the user may be curved to adapt to the curvature of the back spine of the human body, increase the contact area, and improve comfort.

In the shower according to the technical scheme of the invention, the seat 100 comprises the seat plate 110 and the backrest 120, so that sitting posture bathing conditions are provided for users, and the bathing safety of special people is improved. The spray arms 200 are arranged on two sides of the backrest 120, and each spray arm 200 is provided with a nozzle 210, so that the nozzles 210 can spray water to the body of a sitting user, and a shower function is realized; meanwhile, a massage assembly 300 is provided on the backrest 120 to be able to massage the back of the user to relieve the tiredness of the user's body. By arranging the heating component 400 to heat the seat board 110, the upper surface of the seat board 110 is at a temperature suitable for a human body before bathing, so that discomfort of a user in autumn and winter is relieved, and the bathing comfort of the user is further improved. In this embodiment, by integrating multiple functions in the shower, the user can select one or more corresponding functions according to the needs of the user, so as to achieve the effect of improving the safety and comfort of the user in the bathing process.

Based on the above-described shower, the following description will be made with respect to the cooperation of the shower arm 200 and the seat 100.

In an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 7, one end of the spray arm 200 is rotatably connected to the backrest 120.

In this embodiment, by providing the spray arm 200 rotatably with respect to the backrest 120, the user can adjust the position of the spray arm 200 according to his own needs. Alternatively, the spray arm 200 may be connected to a lower, middle or upper portion of the side of the backrest 120. When the spray arm 200 is coupled to the lower portion of the backrest 120, then in order to properly wash the user's body, the spray arm 200 can be rotated upward with respect to the backrest 120 such that the nozzle 210 is directed to the upper position of the seat plate 110; when the spray arm 200 is connected to the middle of the backrest 120, the user can rotate the spray arm 200 in real time during the bath process, so that the spray nozzle 210 can spray water up to wash the upper half of the user's body as well as down to wash the lower part of the user's body; when the spray arm 200 is connected to the upper portion of the backrest 120, then the spray nozzle 210 may spray water directly from top to bottom to flush the user's body.

It is understood that the spray arm 200 and the backrest 120 may rotate in an up-and-down or side-to-side or back-and-forth manner. In practical applications, the spray arm 200 may be rotated to a position where the user can be washed when the user needs to bath, and the spray arm 200 may be rotated to a position close to the backrest 120 when the user does not bath, so as to reduce the occupied space.

In an embodiment, two spray arms 200 are disposed on two sides of the top end of the backrest 120, and the spray arms 200 can rotate up and down around the connection between the spray arms and the backrest 120.

In this embodiment, by arranging the two spray arms 200 on two sides of the top end of the backrest 120, the nozzles 210 of the two spray arms 200 can spray water downwards from the heights of two sides of the user at the same time, so as to ensure the flushing area of the body of the user and ensure the flushing effect. The spray arm 200 can rotate up and down around the connection between the spray arm 200 and the backrest 120, and it can be understood that when not in bath, the spray arm 200 is attached to the backrest 120, so as to reduce the occupied space, and when in bath, the spray arm 200 rotates upwards relative to the backrest 120, so that the spray head 210 of the spray arm 200 can be positioned above the seat plate 110, and water is sprayed and washed to the body of the user sitting on the seat plate 110 smoothly.

It should be noted that, in practical application, the two spray arms 200 may move synchronously or asynchronously, which may be specific to the needs of the user. The rotation modes of the spray arm 200 and the backrest 120 can be controlled manually or automatically, and the connection structure can adopt a hinge structure, a gear connection structure or a chain wheel connection structure, etc. As for the rotation position of the spray arm 200, the position of the spray arm 200 can be adjusted before a user takes a bath, and the user is not required to adjust again in the process of taking a bath, so that the situation that the user needs to stand up is avoided; alternatively, the position and angle of the spray arm 200 may be adjusted in real time according to the body part that the user needs to wash during the bath.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 7, the spray arm 200 has a deployed state and a stowed state:

in the stowed condition, the spray arm 200 is disposed adjacent the backrest 120;

in the unfolded state, the other end of the spray arm 200 is rotated in a direction away from the backrest 120 so that the nozzle 210 is positioned above the seat plate 110.

It can be appreciated that the spray arm 200 has at least two states, when the user does not have a bath, the spray arm 200 may not occupy space above the seat plate 110, and the spray arm 200 may be rotated to a storage state to be adjacent to the backrest 120, so that the overall compactness is stronger; when a user needs to take a bath, the spray arm 200 can be adjusted from the storage state to the unfolding state, and the spray arm 200 rotates towards the direction away from the backrest 120, so that the nozzle 210 is positioned above the seat plate 110, i.e. can spray water from top to bottom to the user, thereby realizing the shower function.

In practical application, because the height and the size of different users may be different, the height requirements of different users on the spray arm 200 may also be different, and the user may adjust the position and the angle of the spray arm 200 in the unfolded state according to the actual requirements of the user, so as to achieve the shower mode most suitable for the user.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the rotation angle α of the spray arm 200 with respect to the backrest 120 satisfies: alpha is more than or equal to 0 DEG and less than or equal to 180 deg. It can be understood that, with the rotation center of the connection between the spray arm 100 and the backrest 120 as the origin, the extension line of the spray arm 200 in the vertical direction in the storage state is a reference line, and when the spray arm 200 rotates upward to a preset position relative to the backrest 120, the included angle between the extension line of the spray arm 200 and the reference line is a rotation angle α. In practical applications, the rotation angle α may be 0 °, 15 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 75 °, 90 °, 105 °, 120 °, 135 °, 150 °, 165 °, 180 °, or the like. In this embodiment, considering the versatility of most users, the rotation angle α of the spray arm 200 relative to the backrest 120 in the unfolded state may be set to 90 °, that is, the spray arm 200 is in the horizontal state at this time, so as to cover the needs of most users, and promote the versatility of the shower.

Further, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the spray arm 200 can be rotated about an axis of the extending direction of the spray arm 200 as a rotation axis to adjust the spray direction of the nozzle 210.

In this embodiment, the spray arm 200 is configured to rotate along its own extending axis, so that the nozzle 210 on the spray arm 200 can also rotate around the extending axis of the spray arm 200, thereby adjusting the direction of the nozzle 210 and further achieving the purpose of adjusting the water spraying direction.

It will be appreciated that in connection with the foregoing embodiment, the spray arm 200 can be rotated relative to the backrest 120, so that in practical application, the user can first rotate the spray arm 200 from the storage state to the deployed state, and then rotate the spray arm 200 along the extension axis of the spray arm 200 itself, so that the spray nozzles 210 can spray water obliquely downward (i.e. toward the seat plate 110), thereby achieving the purpose of flushing the user's body obliquely downward from the higher positions on both sides of the user. Of course, the user can rotate the spray arm 200 in real time during the bathing process according to his/her own needs, so as to adjust the water spraying direction of the nozzle 210 in real time, thereby washing the body part to be washed.

Alternatively, in order to secure a better shower effect, the initial position of the nozzle 210 may be opposite sides of the two spray arms 200, and then when the spray arms 200 are unfolded to the horizontal position, the nozzle 210 is disposed toward the horizontal, and then the spray arms 200 are rotated along their own extension axes, so that the orientation of the nozzle 210 is adjusted from the horizontal to the obliquely downward direction, to enable the body of the user sitting on the seat plate 110 to be smoothly rinsed. Alternatively, the angular range γ of rotation of the spray arm 200 along its own extension axis may be from the nozzle 210 toward the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, i.e., 0+.gamma.ltoreq.90 °.

Of course, it is also possible to continue to rotate the spray arm 200 so that the spray nozzle 210 sprays water toward the outside of the seat pan 110, which may be suitable for applications where the user is standing aside the seat 100 for shower use.

Alternatively, a plurality of nozzles 210 may be disposed at intervals along the extending direction of the spray arm 200 to increase the range of spraying water and ensure the flushing effect.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 4 to 7, in the storage state, a relief space a is formed between the spray arm 200 and the side surface of the backrest 120.

It will be appreciated that when the spray arm 200 is disposed near the backrest 120 in the storage state, the spray arm 200 is located near the wall, and when the side surface of the backrest 120 is a vertical plane, referring to fig. 6 and 7, by moving the spray arm 200 outwards by a certain angle relative to the side surface of the backrest 120, so that the spray arm 200 and the side surface of the backrest 120 form an included angle, an avoidance space a capable of accommodating some other structures is formed between the spray arm 200 and the side surface of the backrest 120, so as to prevent interference with other components in the shower, such as the folded armrest 130, to ensure compactness of the overall structure of the shower in the storage state, and further reduce the occupied space.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the shape of the side surface of the backrest 120 may be modified, and a recess is provided on the side surface of the backrest 120, and in the storage state, the spray arm 200 is disposed close to the backrest 120, so that an avoidance space a is formed between the spray arm 200 and the recess. The recess may be a beveled surface that slopes inwardly from the top of the side of the backrest 120, which forms an angled structure with the spray arm 200.

Optionally, the included angle θ formed by the spray arm 200 and the side of the backrest 120 satisfies: and θ is more than or equal to 8 ° and less than or equal to 15 °, for example, θ can be selected to be 10 °, so that the avoidance space has enough accommodation space, and meanwhile, the spray arm 200 can be prevented from extending outwards to greatly influence the compactness of the structure.

In order to enhance the comfort of the user, in one embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1-7, the massage assembly 300 includes a plurality of hydrodynamic massage jets 310.

In this embodiment, the massage assembly 300 includes a plurality of hydrodynamic massage nozzles 310 disposed on the backrest 120, and the hydrodynamic massage nozzles 310 can utilize different types of water spray, such as vibration water spray, rotation water spray, intermittent water spray, swing water spray, or varying water spray intensity, to achieve the purpose of washing and massaging the user's back at the same time, thereby achieving the effect of soothing the user's body.

In addition, by adopting the hydrodynamic massage nozzle 310 capable of spraying water, since the sprayed water directly contacts the back of the user, the temperature of the water sprayed from the hydrodynamic massage nozzle 310 is warmer, based on which, when in autumn and winter with lower weather, the hydrodynamic massage nozzle 310 can be started to raise the temperature of the surface of the backrest 120 to a more suitable temperature before bathing, so that a more comfortable experience can be provided when the user sits down and leans the back against the backrest 120.

Optionally, the hydrodynamic massage jet 310 includes a self-oscillating jet and/or a pulsed jet and/or a vector oscillating jet. It can be appreciated that the massage assembly 300 may include only one type of spray head, or may include multiple different types of spray heads, and different types of spray heads can be disposed corresponding to different acupoints on the back of the human body, so as to achieve better massage physiotherapy effect.

In one embodiment, the arrangement of the plurality of hydrodynamic massage nozzles 310 may be determined according to the practical situation:

alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 3, a plurality of the hydrodynamic massage nozzles 310 are distributed on the backrest 120 in a rectangular array. In this embodiment, the hydrodynamic massage spray heads 310 are arranged in a manner of multiple rows and multiple columns, so that water flow can be uniformly sprayed to the back of the user, so that the back of the user is uniformly stressed, and the comfort of the back is improved.
