As shown in FIG. 2, the hose 20 is composed of a heating tube 23 and a shell 24 surrounding the heating tube 23. The heating tube 23 has an inner tube 23a through which the water flows, a heat line 23b wound around the outer surface of the inner tube 23a, and an inner tube 23a so as to prevent the heat tube 23b from being exposed to the outside. And a waterproof cover 23c surrounding the waterproof cover 23c. The heat wire 23b is connected to the battery 51 inside the battery unit 50 through the electric wire.

The waterproof cover 23c not only serves as a waterproof layer for preventing water penetrating from the outside to the heat line 23b, but also acts as a heat insulating material to prevent heat generated from the heat line 23b from being emitted to the outside.

The envelope 24 should be able to flexibly bend for free movement and storage of the showerhead 10 during the shower while protecting the internal heating tube 23. Therefore, it is made of a plastic material which is excellent in rigidity and rigidity but can be bent, and a metal hose called a cobran tube.

3, the handle 13 of the showerhead 10 is formed with a plurality of guides 13b protruding from the surface of the passage 13a formed on the inner side thereof. The plurality of guides 13b are formed at regular intervals along a virtual helix.

The power switch 55 is disposed in a circuit that connects one terminal of the battery 51 to the heat ray 23b, the surface heat emission element 14b, and the operation indicator 15. [ Accordingly, the heat ray 23b, the surface heat emission element 14b, and the operation indicator 15 are turned on / off at the same time according to the power switch 55 on / off.

The charging indicator 54 is connected to the battery 51 through a separate charging circuit 56. [ The charging indicator 54 emits red light when the battery 51 is being charged according to the charging state of the battery 51 by the charging circuit 56 and emits green light when the charging is completed.

The operation and effect of the present invention will now be described.

Charge the battery 51 before using the shower. When the plug P of the charging adapter connected to the household power source is plugged into the charging port 53 of the battery unit 50, the charging indicator lamp 54 lights up in red. Charging is continued until the charging indicator lamp 54 turns green.

When the charging is completed, the connector 40 is moved to a place for showering, and the connector 40 is extended and connected to the water outlet 61 of the water receiver 60 as shown in Fig. Since the connector 40 is made of a material that can be easily expanded and contracted, the connector 40 can be used for various kinds of receptions irrespective of the size and shape of the water outlet 61. The connector 40 is contracted and brought into close contact with the surface of the rectangular columnar water outlet 61 even when the water outlet 61 is formed into a rectangular column, It is possible to supply all the water discharged from the water outlet portion 61 to the hose 20 without causing leakage.

The end of the water outlet 61 is located in the pipe extension 41 when the connector 40 is connected so that the water outlet located at the bottom of the end of the water outlet 61 is not blocked by the connection 42.

The elastic ring 43 is hooked behind the control lever 62 of the power receiver 60 to prevent the connector 40 from being separated from the water outlet 61 by the flow and discharge water pressure of the hose 20. [

When the connection of the connector 40 is completed, the control lever 62 is operated to turn on the power supply switch 55 of the battery unit 50 to supply water to the shower. If the power switch 55 is turned on before the water supply, the heating pipe 23 or the heating block 14 may overheat and the shower may be damaged.

The power switch 55 is turned on after the water supply is started and then the cover 52a is closed and the hook 52b is inserted and fixed in the engaging groove 52c to prevent water from penetrating into the case 52. [ The flood prevention performance is further improved by the blocking portion 52d formed at the upper / lower end of the cover 52a.

After confirming that the operation indicator 15 of the shower head 10 is turned on after the power switch 55 is turned on, it is confirmed that the hot water system of the shower is operating.

When the power switch 55 is turned on, the power source of the battery 51 is supplied to the heat line 23b of the heating tube 23 and the surface heating element 14b of the heating block 14. Therefore, heat is generated in the heating line 23b and the planar heating element 14b, thereby heating the water flowing through the inner tube 23a of the heating tube 23 and the water passing through the through hole 14a of the heating block 14 .

The cold water flowing into the hose 20 flows through the inner tube 23a and passes through the through hole 14a of the heating block 14 through the passageway in the handle 13 and the head body 11, (12a) of the main body (12).

The water is firstly heated by receiving heat from the heat line 23b installed over the entire length of the hose 20. [ Then, the heat is transferred from the surface heat emission element 14b while being passed through the through hole 14a of the heating block 14, and is heated secondarily. Since it is firstly heated while being passed through the thin and long tube (inner tube 23a) and is secondarily heated in a state where it is separated into the plurality of through holes 14a in the heating block 14, So that the cold water can be effectively heated to a suitable degree of hot water for showering.

The water that has passed through the hose 20 collides with the guide 13b while passing through the handle 13 of the shower head 13 and the stream line is disturbed and is given a rotational force. Therefore, the flow of the water is actively mixed with the flow of the water through the knob portion 13 to form a turbulent flow, so that the flow of the surface layer of the inner tube 23a and the flow of the inner portion are mixed to have a uniform temperature distribution throughout the flow.

The water with the turbulent flow thus formed flows again through the through holes 14 of the heating block 14 and then mixed again in the space between the heating block 14 and the cap 12 to achieve a completely uniform temperature And flows finally through the water outlet hole 12a. Therefore, the user of the shower can receive the hot water of uniform temperature without feeling the temperature difference of the water stream according to the position of the water outlet hole 12a, and can enjoy a pleasant shower.

On the other hand, in the heating block 14, a plurality of surface heat emission elements 14b are provided so as to be spaced from each other, and a through hole 14a is formed between the surface heat emission elements 14b, 14a. This is also a factor in helping to generate enough warm water.

After the shower is finished, the power switch 55 is turned off, the control lever 62 is operated to stop the water supply, and the shower is recovered in the reverse order of the installation.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the shower is portable and can be easily attached / detached to a faucet, it is possible to take a shower even when the shower is not installed.

In addition, even when a water supply not connected to the hot water supply system, that is, a water supply which only supplies cold water, is installed, hot water can be generated by itself and hot water can be showered.

As the battery is charged, it can be used in hot water showers even in places where power is not supplied.

Since the connector provided in the shower is made of a rubber material having excellent elasticity, it can be applied to various kinds of faucets having different shapes of the outlet.

Since the heating system is applied to the hose and the shower head respectively, it is possible to use double heating so that the cold water can be heated at a sufficient temperature instantaneously. Even if a failure occurs in one of the heating devices, the other heating device is operated. .

The water is actively mixed by the guide formed inside the handle of the shower head, and the temperature of the water discharged from the shower head is uniformly maintained as a whole.
