[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a shower head having a function of washing the body with a liquid detergent and a function of brushing the body in addition to a normal shower function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As the conventional shower head, there is one disclosed in the applicant's utility model registration application No. 70964 in 1993 by the present applicant. That is what is shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a shower main body 20 which is connected to a water or hot water supply source (not shown) such as a tap of a water supply via a shower hose 21. The shower body 20 is provided with flow paths A and B for letting out water or hot water to the outside of the shower body 20 and water or hot water outlets 22 and 23. The channels A and B are divided into two by a partition 24, and the water or hot water outlets 22 and 23 connected to the channels are also divided into two. Reference numeral 24 is a partition for switching the above-mentioned two divided flow paths A and B and the water or hot water outlets 22 and 23. Protrusions 25 and 26 are provided at the portion where the tip of the flow path switching means 24a sits, so that the flow paths A and B can be reliably switched. A soap container box 27 for accommodating soap is disposed in either one of the above-mentioned two divided flow paths A and B (flow path B in this embodiment). The water or hot water outlet 23 connected to the flow path B in which the soap containing box 27 is arranged has a water or hot water discharge hole 29b, and a cleaning body 29 having a brush 29c planted therein is detachably attached. It has been done. A screw-type lid body 30 is provided at the soap water inlet 28 of the soap storage box body 27. By removing the lid body 30, soap can be contained in the soap container 27. The cleaning body 29 is detachably attached to the water or hot water outlets 22 and 23 of the shower main body 20 by the screw portion 31. The holding portion 29a for holding the brush 29c constituting the cleaning body 29 is formed with a discharge hole 29b for letting out water, warm water, or soap water. A shower nozzle 32 is provided at the water or hot water outlet 22 connected to the other flow path A so that a shower ring can be provided when washing the body. The usage method is as follows. When used as a normal shower, the flow path switching means 24a is switched to the projection 26 side to introduce water or hot water into the flow path A and let the water or hot water flow out from the shower nozzle 32. When used for cleaning the body, the flow path switching means 24a is switched to the projection 25 side to introduce water or warm water to the flow path B, and the discharge hole 29b formed in the holding portion 29a of the brush 29c of the cleaning body 29. Drain from. At this time, the water or the warm water that has passed through the opening 27a and passed through the inside of the soap container 27 is mixed with the soap to become soap water and is discharged, so that the body can be washed. When soap is not stored in the soap storage box 27, the body can be brushed by draining water or warm water from the cleaning body 29.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 According to the above-mentioned conventional technique, the shower body 20 is configured such that water or hot water flows through the divided flow passages by the partition 24, one side performs a shower ring, and the other side performs a cleaning action. Since the passage is configured to be switched by the flow passage switching means 24a, when the backwash of water due to the negative pressure phenomenon occurs in the water mains during washing using the liquid detergent, the detergent is mixed. There was a risk that the contaminated water would enter the water mains and the contaminated water would flow into the drinking water at home as clean water. An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems by completely separating the water or hot water flow path and the liquid detergent flow path from each other.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, a shower head of the present invention comprises a head body 1 having a water or hot water flow path 7 leading to a water or hot water outlet 1a, and a detergent storage container 2 provided outside the head body 1. The detergent container 3 is provided with a detergent cylinder 3 stored in the detergent storage container 2 and a detergent channel 5 communicating from the detergent cylinder 3 to the water or hot water outlet 1a. The head body 1 can be provided with a brush 9c or a shower nozzle 4 with a porous foam body, which is detachably attached to the water or hot water outlet 1a. The head body 1 may be provided with a flow rate adjusting means 6 for adjusting the flow rate of the water or hot water. The detergent cylinder 3 can be provided with a cylinder pressing means 8 for flowing out an appropriate amount of detergent.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the detergent can be sent out from the detergent cylinder 3 through the detergent channel 5 different from the channel 7 connected to the water or hot water outlet 1a of the head body 1 to perform the cleaning action. Even if a backflow of water occurs due to the negative pressure phenomenon during the action, the soap water will not flow into the water main.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the figure, 1 is a head body, 2 is a soap container box detachably provided outside the head body 1, 3 is a detergent cylinder housed in the box body 4, 4 is water or water of the head body 1. Shower nozzles 5 provided at the hot water outlet 1a are detergent supply pipes that penetrate the wall 1b of the head body 1 and have one end connected to the detergent cylinder 3 and the other end connected to the nozzle hole 4a of the shower nozzle 4. is there. The soap containing box 2 can be attached to and detached from the head body 1. Reference numeral 6 is a screw-type water quantity control valve which is screwed into a screw hole of the wall body 1b of the head body 1 to adjust the flow rate of water in the head body 1 or water in the hot water flow path 7 or hot water. Reference numeral 8 is a push-type button for pushing the detergent cylinder 3 to push out the liquid detergent therein. Reference numeral 9 denotes a shower brush nozzle that can be detachably fitted to the open end 1c of the water or hot water outlet 1a of the head body 1. In the nozzle 9, 9a is a water or hot water flow hole, 9b is a detergent outflow hole, and 9c is a brush. The shower brush and the nozzle 9 are (push-in type). That is, when the nozzle 9 is pushed over the open end 1c, the movable projection member 11 urged by the spring 10 is pushed in, and the recess 9d of the nozzle 9 is divided into the projection 11a of the movable projection member 11 and the opening 1c. It fits into the protrusion 1d. Then, when the movable protrusion member 11 is pushed, the fitting of the nozzle 9 can be released. Although not shown, a sponge having continuous holes may be used instead of the brush 9c of the shower brush nozzle 9. The usage method is as follows. (1) When washing the body with the shower nozzle 4 with water or warm water, wash the body while adjusting the amount of water or warm water with the flow rate control valve 6. (2) When using the shower brush nozzle 9 to wash the body with detergent, apply water to the body while adjusting the flow rate of water or warm water with the flow rate control valve 6, then stop the water or warm water and put the detergent cylinder 3 on. Press with the push button 8 to apply to the body and rub with the brush 9c. (3) When washing off the detergent attached to the body, the shower brush nozzle 9 is used while supplying water or warm water. Alternatively, the shower brush nozzle 9 is removed and the shower nozzle 4 is used for flushing. (4) When the body is washed using a shower sponge nozzle provided with a porous foam (sponge), the brush nozzle 9 is removed from the head body 1, the shower sponge nozzle is attached, and washing is performed as described above. (5) If a large detergent tank installed on the floor of the bathroom or the like is used instead of the detergent cylinder 3, it is convenient for a large number of people to use continuously in a public bath.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the flow path of water or warm water and the flow path of the liquid detergent are separated from each other. Even if the water flows backward, there is no risk that liquid detergent or dirty cleaning water will flow into the water mains and contaminate the tap water.
