FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a decoration cover according to the present invention. - The purpose, construction, features, functions and advantages of the present invention can be appreciated and understood more thoroughly through the following detailed descriptions with reference to the attached drawings.
- Refer to
FIGS. 1 to 6 respectively for an exploded view of a press switch shower faucet according to the present invention; a schematic diagram of a press switch shower faucet according to the present invention; another schematic diagram of a press switch shower faucet according to the present invention; an exploded view of a valve cartridge according to the present invention; a partial cross section view of a press switch shower faucet according to the present invention; and a schematic diagram of a decoration cover according to the present invention. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 6 , the present invention provides a press switch shower faucet, that includes amain body 10 and avalve cartridge 20. Themain body 10 includes a presstight cover 15. Thevalve cartridge 20 is disposed in themain body 10. After placing thevalve cartridge 20 into themain body 10, put the presstight cover 15 onto thevalve cartridge 20 to lock and fix it on thevalve cartridge 20. On themain body 10 is disposed a hotwater inlet hole 11 and a coldwater inlet hole 12. On thevalve cartridge 20 is disposed arotation switch 21 for adjusting water temperature, and apress switch 22 to control opening or closing of a water channel. Through the design of the present invention, the water open/close function and the temperature adjusting function are separate and independent without the risk of interfering with each other. As such, in case the user adjusts water temperature, and when he utilizes water next time, the user may use the water directly, without the need to adjust water temperature again, thus providing convenience to the user, while achieving greater satisfaction for the user. - In the
main body 10 is disposed apositioning hole 18, and on thevalve cartridge 20 is disposed an outside hangingdevice 29 acting in cooperation with thepositioning hole 18. - Further, the
valve cartridge 20 includes abalance module 23 and aregulation module 24. Therotation switch 21 and thepress switch 22 are both disposed on theregulation module 24. More specifically, therotation switch 21 and thepress switch 22 are operated along a same axis. - The
rotation switch 21 and apress switch 22 are connected to thedecoration cover 30 to act in cooperation. Thedecoration cover 30 includes apress piece 31 and arotation piece 32. Thepress piece 31 and thepress switch 22 are connected together to act in cooperation, and therotation piece 32 and therotation switch 21 are connected together to act in cooperation. Thepress piece 31 is disposed in a center of thepress piece 31. To be more specific, on therotation piece 32 is disposed a protrusion block for the user to hold on. The disposition of the decoration cove 30 imparts esthetical sense to the press switch shower faucet, while facilitating operation for the user. - In the
main body 10 is disposed a firstwater inlet port 26 in communication with the hotwater inlet hole 11, and a secondwater inlet port 27 in communication with the coldwater inlet hole 12, and awater outlet port 28 is disposed in themain body 10. Therotation switch 21 controls the sizes of openings of the firstwater inlet port 26 and the secondwater inlet port 27 through thevalve cartridge 20 by means of the cooperation area of the firstwater inlet port 26 and the secondwater inlet port 27, to control temperature of water. Thepress switch 22 is adapted to control the opening/closing of thewater output port 28, hereby controlling water output or water stoppage of the shower faucet. - On the
main body 10 is disposed a firstwater outlet hole 16 and a secondwater outlet hole 17, and aguide partition piece 40 is disposed between the firstwater outlet hole 16 and a secondwater outlet hole 17. - On the
main body 10 is provided with twowater stop pieces 50, and the twowater stop pieces 50 are disposed symmetrically along a central axial line of themain body 10. - In application, the user may use the
decoration cover 30 to operate on and control therotation switch 21 and thepress switch 22. Thepress switch 22 on theregulation module 24 includes apress rod 22 a , and thepress rod 22 a acts in cooperation with thepress piece 31. As such, when pressing down thepress piece 31, thewater outlet port 28 is blocked, so the water channel is blocked. When pressing down thepress piece 31 again, thewater outlet port 28 is opened, so the water channel is opened. Further, therotation piece 32 on thedecoration cover 30 is used to control therotation switch 21. Through rotating therotation piece 32, the opening sizes of the firstwater inlet port 26 and the secondwater inlet port 27 can be controlled, in achieving regulation of water temperature. After water temperature is regulated, the temperature can be kept stable and constant by not rotating therotation piece 32 again. - The above detailed description of the preferred embodiment is intended to describe more clearly the characteristics and spirit of the present invention. However, the preferred embodiments disclosed above are not intended to be any restrictions to the scope of the present invention. Conversely, its purpose is to include the various changes and equivalent arrangements which are within the scope of the appended claims.
