Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

[0001] The invention relates to a showerhead structure having functions of temperature sensing and micro-hydro-electric power generating, and more particularly, to a showerhead structure having functions of temperature sensing and micro-hydro-electric power generating making use of the water-flow to drive the dynamic element to generate electricity for making the light-emitting elements illuminate different colors of light to achieve the objectives of having the functions of temperature warning and intensifying the visual effect.

2. Description of the Prior Art

[0002] In general, most of the conventional showerhead structure has the design variation on the water outlet mouth making it generate various water sprays. Thereafter, due to the development of technology, the showerhead structure evolves into various massage (spa) showerheads that are capable of controlling the variation on the water flow and water pressure. However, when it comes to using the showerhead, depending on whether or not it is in normal operation, the water heater will generate different instantaneous water temperature. If the instantaneous water temperature is too high, the user is apt to be scalded with the hot water. Therefore, the idea of having the function of temperature sensing is generated.

[0003] The US patent application No. 11/980,944 (laid-open publication US 2008/0061557A1) and the US patent application No. 11/981,353 (laid-open publication US 2008/0061558A1) respectively disclose the generation of power source by making use of a micro-hydro-electric power generating device and utilizing the power source on the water quality filtering structure of water screening program. The prior art stresses mainly on the improvement of the turbine blade structure of the micro-hydro-electric power generating structure and is used on the screening program connected to the general faucet, and is not used on the water temperature sensing and warning. What is more, this idea of micro-hydro-electric power generating is a commonly seen technology.

[0004] The Taiwan's Utility Model Patent No.95212225 "Light-effect Accessory Structure of the Showerhead" (US patent application No. 11/469,490, laid-open publication US 2008/0052820A1) discloses another case of generation of power source by making use of a micro-hydro-electric power generating device and utilizing the power source for water temperature sensing elements and a multiplicity of light-emitting elements that make use of the sensing element to sense various water temperatures to drive different colors of light-emitting elements to illuminate so as to achieve the efficacy of calling the user's attention to watch the variation of the water temperature.

[0005] The PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) Patent No. PCT/ KR2003/002747 "Light-emitting Device of Water-flow Feedback Driving Power Source Water Temperature Sensing" discloses further a case of generation of power source by making use of a micro-hydro-electric power generating device and utilizing the power source on the structures of water temperature sensing water faucet, and showerhead, as well as light-emitting elements for warning the variation of water temperature.

[0006] EP 1 958 700 A2 describes a shower head with luminous and multicolored water jet, lighted by means of high-intensity LEDs in different colors that are switched on in sequence, powered by an internal generator that is set in motion by the water output pressure.

[0007] EP 1 531 204 A1 describes a shower head comprising at least one light-emitting element in the area of the water being expelled. To enable an evaluation of the water temperature a device is provided which realizes a color change of the emitted light dependent from the water temperature.

[0008] WO 2007/129174 A1 and DE 20 2007 015 029 U1 describe an integrated system for hydro-thermosanitary apparatuses comprising electric current generating means, a control board, water temperature sensors and LEDs or strips of LEDs arranged near the water outlet section for indicating the dispensed water temperature according to the color with which the light of the LEDs is emitted. An acoustic-vocal indicator may also be provided.

[0009] However, the above-mentioned structures of the prior art that make use of micro-hydro-electric power generating are all different. These structures of the prior art are unable to have mass production to become formal merchandise due to the immaturity in use or in structure or owing to the bulky structure or other reasons except the Taiwan's Utility Model Patent No.95212225 "Light-effect Accessory Structure of the Showerhead" (US patent application No. 11/469,490, laid-open publication US 2008/0052820A1).
