  • Publication number: 20240044412
    Abstract: A switching valve includes a base including a bottom wall and a side wall that extends from the bottom wall of the base along a circumferential direction of the bottom wall, a body that can couple to the base to define a cavity between a bottom plate of the body and the bottom wall and the side wall of the base, in which the bottom plate includes two through holes that are each fluidly coupled to the cavity, two sliders disposed within the cavity, and two driving rods each movably coupled to one of the two through holes of the body, in which each driving rod can move relative to the two through holes to block or unblock each respective through hole. Each slider can slide responsive to movement of one of the two driving rods such that only one through hole is unblocked at one time.

  • Patent number: 11815188
    Abstract: A switching valve includes a base having a bottom wall. The switching valve includes a body that couples to the base to define a cavity between the body and the bottom wall. The body includes through holes that are each fluidly coupled to the cavity. The switching valve includes a driven slider set disposed within the cavity and having sub-sliders evenly distributed about the base. The switching valve includes driving rods each movably coupled to one of the through holes of the body. Each driving rod moves in a linear direction relative to the through holes to block or unblock each through hole. Each sub-slider slides in a linear direction responsive to movement of the driving rods. Only one through hole is unblocked at one time.

  • Publication number: 20230009593
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fluid discharging assembly. The fluid discharging assembly includes a rotatable driving mechanism having at least two rotating eccentric shafts oppositely disposed about a center axis of the driving mechanism. The fluid discharging assembly includes a first slider having a first shaft hole coupled to a first of the at least two eccentric shafts and a second slider having a second shaft hole coupled to a second of the at least two eccentric shafts. The first slider includes a first through hole that receives a first fluid discharging pipe and the second slider includes a second through hole that receives a second fluid discharging pipe. The first fluid discharging pipe rotates at a first rotation by a rotation of the first slider and the second fluid discharging pipe rotates at a second rotation by a rotation of the second slider.

  • Publication number: 20220379322
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a showerhead including an upper cover, a lower cover, and a middle plate disposed between the upper cover and the lower cover. A bottom portion of the middle plate defines a first water cavity and a second water cavity that is independent from the first water cavity. The middle plate further defines a first water inlet channel in fluid communication with the first water cavity and a second water inlet channel in fluid communication with the second water cavity. The lower cover includes a first water outlet in fluid communication with the first water cavity and a second water outlet in fluid communication with the second water cavity. The second water inlet channel includes a plug that can open and/or close the second water inlet channel responsive to water pressure exerted on the plug within the showerhead.

  • Patent number: 8430344
    Abstract: A swayable and retractable shower, includes a retractable assembly and a shower head. The retractable assembly includes a fixed portion, a retractable portion and a reset portion. The fixed portion has a through sliding hole. The retractable portion with a through water entry is hermetically and slidably connected in the through sliding hole. The reset portion is disposed between the fixed portion and the retractable portion. The water entry communicates with the through sliding hole. The shower head is swayably connected to the lower end of the retractable portion and can communicate with the water entry, so the shower head can swing left or right in optional directions when it is stretched out.
