[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please also read Figures 1 to 3The present embodiment provides a shower assembly 100 with customizable length, including a shower box 110, a shower valve body 120 and a fixing joint 130. The shower box 110 has an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112 facing each other. The inner wall 111 encloses a cavity 113, and the cavity 113 is extended along a first direction. The cavity 113 is provided with a first mounting opening 114 and a second mounting opening 115 at opposite ends. The inner wall 111 is provided with a convex rib structure 119. The convex rib structure 119 can be a long strip structure, wherein the convex rib structure 119 is arranged along the first direction and extends in a straight line to the edges of both sides of the shower box 110. The number of the convex rib structures 119 can be 1, 2 or more. The surface of the shower valve body 120 facing the convex rib structure 119 can be provided with a guide groove (not shown) that matches the convex rib structure 119. During installation, the guide groove of the shower valve body 120 cooperates with the rib structure 119 to guide the shower valve body 120, and the shower valve body 120 can slide to the corresponding installation position along the first direction and under the guidance of the rib structure 119, and the shower valve body 120 after installation is not easy to shake. In addition, the inner wall 111 may not be provided with the rib structure 119, and the inner wall 111 may be provided with a guide groove along the first direction, and the surface of the shower valve body 120 facing the guide groove may be provided with a rib structure 119 that cooperates with the guide groove.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in a process for making a shower box 110, the metal can be melted at high temperature and then injected into a mold, and extruded through the mold to achieve the molding of the long shower box 110 through continuous extrusion force and cold condensation. The total length of the formed shower box 110 can be L0, and the shower box 110 can be cut according to the user's customized length. For example, when the user's customized length is L1, where L1 is less than L0, the length of L2 can be directly cut from the formed shower box 110, where L1+L2=L0, that is, the cut length is L0-L1. The advantages of this setting are: shower boxes 110 of different lengths can be quickly cut, the inner wall 111 of the shower box 110 after cutting can be continuous and smooth, and the shower valve body 120 can be moved to any position of the shower box 110 without hindrance. It only needs to move the shower valve body 120 to the position corresponding to the mounting hole 116, and it only needs to be cut directly according to the set length, and there is no need to open a specific mold according to the customized length of different users. As some examples, the length of the shower box 110 after cutting can be greater than or equal to more than twice the length of the shower valve body 120, or roughly equal to the length of the shower valve body 120, and it is only necessary to ensure that there is a certain length of space in the shower box 110 to accommodate the shower valve body 120. In this embodiment, the metal is aluminum alloy.

[0028] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the top shell 117 can be a plane, which is convenient for users to place items, such as toiletries. In addition, the outer wall of the top shell 117 can also be provided with a storage groove for accommodating items.

[0029] See also Figure 5 In this embodiment, the shower box 110 is provided with a plurality of exposed holes 1111, wherein the plurality of exposed holes 1111 can be used to install the water inlet structure on the shower valve body 120. The plurality of exposed holes 1111 can be arranged on one of the side shells of the shower box 110 (wherein the side shell can be used as the rear shell of the shower box 110 and faces the wall when installed), and the plurality of exposed holes 1111 can be arranged side by side and spaced apart along the length direction of the shower box 110, so that the water outlet pipe on the wall can communicate with the water inlet structure of the shower valve body 120.

[0030] In this embodiment, the number of the mounting holes 116 is two. The two mounting holes 116 are respectively opened in the top shell 117 and the bottom shell 118 and are coaxially arranged. Each mounting hole 116 is provided with a fixing joint 130 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing joint 130 may be a hollow cylindrical structure, wherein at least a portion of the outer diameter of the end of the fixing joint 130 may be smaller than the aperture size of the mounting hole 116, so that the end of the fixing joint 130 may be inserted into the mounting hole 116 to be fixed to the shower valve body 120 accommodated in the shower box 110. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the fixing joint 130 may also be slightly larger than the aperture size of the mounting hole 116, for example, slightly larger than 0.1 to 0.2 times the aperture size of the mounting hole 116, so that the fixing joint 130 may be interference-embedded in the mounting hole 116. The fixing joint 130 may be made of plastic or metal. As an example, the fixing joint 130 may be made of a specific elastic plastic material, and the outer periphery of the fixing joint 130 may be provided with an external thread to be threadedly connected with the shower valve body 120.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a limiting portion 133 may be provided on the outer periphery of the fixing joint 130. The limiting portion 133 may be an annular structure. The limiting portion 133 may be arranged around the center line of the fixing joint 130. The outer diameter of the limiting portion 133 is larger than the aperture size of the mounting hole 116. The limiting portion 133 is used to abut against the shower box 110 to limit the installation position of the fixing joint 130.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fixed joint 130 may be provided with a water outlet hole 131, wherein the water outlet hole 131 may penetrate the fixed joint 130 along the center line direction of the fixed joint 130. While the fixed joint 130 is fixedly connected to the shower valve body 120, it can also be communicated with the shower valve body 120. The water flow in the shower valve body 120 can flow out through the fixed joint 130. The fixed joint 130 can be used as a water outlet joint for connecting the shower valve body 120 with other water outlet devices. The water flowing out through the shower joint 130 can flow out through the water outlet device. The advantage of such a setting is that the fixing joint 130 can not only fix the shower valve body 120, but also be connected to other water outlet devices as a water outlet joint, without setting a fixing structure such as a buckle position inside the shower box 110 to fix the shower box 110, so that the inner wall 111 of the shower box 110 can be smoothly and continuously set, so that the shower valve body 120 can be moved to any position in the cavity 113 along the axis of the first installation port 114 or the axis of the second installation port 115, and it is only necessary to open a corresponding installation hole 116 at a corresponding position, install it in the installation hole 116 through the fixing joint 130 and fix it to the shower valve body 120, which is convenient for fixing and disassembly, and can greatly simplify the internal structure of the shower box 110, making it easy to process.

[0034] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, when the fixed joint 130 is used as a water outlet joint, an annular fixing groove 132 may be further provided on the periphery of the fixed joint 130. The shower assembly 100 further includes a sealing ring 140. The sealing ring 140 is sleeved in the annular fixing groove 132 and is located between the fixed joint 130 and the shower valve body 120. The sealing ring 140 fills the gap between the fixed joint 130 and the shower valve body 120 to seal the gap and prevent water leakage.

[0035] See also Figure 7 In this embodiment, the shower valve body 120 is provided with a first valve core installation port 121, a second valve core installation port 122 and a communication channel 123. The first valve core installation port 121 and the second valve core installation port 122 are all connected to the communication channel 123, wherein the first valve core installation port 121 and the second valve core installation port 122 are used to install the valve core structure. The layout direction of the communication channel 123 can be substantially parallel to the length direction of the shower box 110.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shower valve body 120 includes a valve body 124, a first water inlet pipe 1251 and a second water inlet pipe 1252. The valve body 124 is a substantially cylindrical tube body with a plurality of channels therein. The valve body 124 can be arranged along the length direction of the shower box 110, that is, the extension direction of the valve body 124 is substantially parallel to the length direction of the shower box 110. The first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 are arranged side by side along the length direction and are both connected to the valve body 124. The first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 are both facing the same side of the valve body 124. The fixed joint 130 can be connected to the valve body 124 by embedding, clamping or threaded connection. The first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 are respectively assembled in an exposed hole 1111. Among them, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be detachably connected to the valve body 124, or can also be integrally formed.

[0037] During assembly, the shower valve body 120 can be fully or partially accommodated in the shower box 110. As an example, the shower valve body 120 can be fully accommodated in the shower box 110, wherein the valve body 124 is arranged in the shower box 110 along the length direction of the shower box 110, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can both be located in the shower box 110, and the water outlets of the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can respectively correspond to an exposed hole 1111 and face the corresponding exposed hole 1111, so that the external water outlet pipe can be directly inserted into the exposed hole 1111 to connect with the first water inlet pipe 1251. and the second water inlet pipe 1252 are connected; as another example, the shower valve body 120 can be partially accommodated in the shower box 110, the valve body 124 is arranged in the shower box 110 along the length direction of the shower box 110, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be detachably connected to the valve body 124, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be exposed in the shower box 110, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be respectively inserted into the corresponding exposed holes 1111 and communicated with the connecting port opened on the valve body 124, wherein the connecting port corresponds to the exposed hole 1111.

[0038] The first valve core installation port 121 and the second valve core installation port 122 are respectively located at opposite ends of the valve body 124, and the communication channel 123 can be formed in the valve body 124 along the axial direction of the valve body 124 to reduce the path of the communication channel 123, which is convenient for waterway optimization. The first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be respectively arranged at opposite ends of the valve body 124, wherein the first water inlet pipe 1251 is closer to the first valve core installation port 121 than the second water inlet pipe 1252, and the second water inlet pipe 1252 is closer to the second valve core installation port 122 than the first water inlet pipe 1251. Both the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be communicated with the first valve core installation port 121. The first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be used to supply water from different sources. The first water inlet pipe 1251 can be used to supply hot water, and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be used to supply cold water. The hot water refers more to the water source flowing out of the indoor hot water equipment, and the cold water is actually a water source with a lower temperature than hot water. In daily life, it refers more to the water source introduced from the tap.

[0039] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the shower valve body 120 is provided with a water outlet 1253, the fixed joint 130 can be partially embedded in the water outlet 1253, the water outlet hole 131 is in communication with the water outlet 1253, and the inner wall of the shower valve body 120 defining the water outlet 1253 can be provided with an internal thread to match the external thread of the fixed joint 130. The shower valve body 120 can have multiple water outlets 1253. As an example, the shower valve body 120 can have two water outlets 1253, and the two water outlets 1253 can be coaxially arranged and face two opposite directions respectively. One of the water outlets 1253 corresponds to and intersects with the mounting hole 116 provided on the top shell 117, and the other water outlet 1253 corresponds to and intersects with the mounting hole 116 provided on the bottom shell 118. The number of the fixing joints 130 may be two, one of which is provided through the mounting hole 116 of the top shell 117 and embedded in one water outlet 1253, and the other fixing joint 130 is provided through the mounting hole 116 provided on the bottom shell 118 and embedded in the other water outlet 1253. The two fixing joints 130 simultaneously fix the shower valve body 120. In addition, the shower valve body 120 may also be provided with other water outlets 1253, and the other water outlets 1253 may be used directly to discharge water, so as to facilitate water use by users, or may also be used to connect to a faucet.

[0040] When the shower valve body 120 is mounted on a wall, the axial direction of the valve body 124 can be roughly parallel to the ground and the wall, one of the fixed joints 130 is vertically oriented to serve as an upper water outlet joint, and the other fixed joint 130 is vertically downward to serve as a lower water outlet joint. The upper water outlet joint can be used to connect with a water outlet device such as a fixed exposed rod, and the lower water outlet joint can be used to connect with a water outlet device such as a handheld shower or a hose.

[0041] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the shower assembly 100 includes a first valve core 150 and a second valve core 160. The first valve core 150 is mounted on the first valve core installation port 121 and faces the first installation port 114. The second valve core 160 is mounted on the second valve core installation port 122 and faces the second installation port 115. The second valve core 160 is selectively connected to the first valve core 150. The first valve core 150 may be a water mixing valve core, and the second valve core 160 may be a water diversion valve core. The water mixing valve core refers to a valve core with at least two water inlets, which can be used to mix different water sources and adjust the mixing ratio of each water source. The water mixing valve core can have functions such as mixing water and switching. The water mixing valve core can be used to mix the water sources from the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 in a certain ratio. The water diversion valve core refers to a valve core with at least two water outlets, which can be used to selectively discharge the inflowing water source from one of the water outlets 1253. Among them, the water diversion valve core and the water mixing valve core can be a push-type valve core or a twist-type valve core.

[0042] The water sources flowing in from the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 flow into the water mixing valve core respectively to be mixed. After the first valve core 150 and the second valve core 160 are connected, the mixed water flows into the second valve core 160 through the connecting channel 123. Furthermore, by rotating and controlling the water mixing valve core, the flow rate and mixing ratio of the cold and hot water flowing in through the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 can be synchronously adjusted, and finally the mixed water with the required temperature and flow rate flowing out of the water mixing valve core can be adjusted. By controlling the water diversion valve core, one of the water outlets 1253 can be selectively connected.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first water inlet pipe 1251 and the second water inlet pipe 1252 are both connected to the second valve core installation port 122. At this time, the second valve core 160 installed in the second valve core installation port 122 can be a mixing valve core, and the first valve core 150 can be a water diversion valve core.

[0044] See also Figure 2In this embodiment, the shower assembly 100 further includes a first switch key 171 and a second switch key 172, both of which are disposed outside the shower box 110. The first switch key 171 is connected to the first valve core 150 and is used to control the opening or closing of the first valve core 150, and the second switch key 172 is connected to the second valve core 160 and is used to control the opening or closing of the second valve core 160. The user can manipulate the first switch key 171 and the second switch key 172 to open or close the first valve core 150 and the second valve core 160, respectively.

[0045] In some embodiments, the shower assembly 100 further includes an extension rod 180, which can be disposed between the second switch key 172 and the second valve core 160, or between the first switch key 171 and the first valve core 150, or between the second switch key 172 and the second valve core 160 and between the first switch key 171 and the first valve core 150. The second switch key 172 is in transmission connection with the second valve core 160 via the extension rod 180. The length of the extension rod 180 can be adjusted according to the length of the shower box 110 and the shower valve body 120. As an example, when the length of the shower box 110 is greater than the length of the shower valve body 120, for example, the length of the shower box 110 is approximately equal to twice the length of the shower valve body 120, the length of the extension rod 180 can be adjusted to half the length of the shower box 110. At this time, the sum of the length of the extension rod 180 and the length of the shower valve body 120 is approximately equal to the length of the shower box 110.

[0046] When the length of the shower valve body 120 remains unchanged, the second switch key 172 and the second valve core 160 can be connected in transmission by increasing the length of the extension rod 180, wherein the extension rod 180 can be made by simple machining, and the length of the extension rod 180 can change with the length of the shower box 110 after shearing. When the length of the shower box 110 after shearing is shorter, the length of the extension rod 180 can also be shortened accordingly, as long as it is ensured that the valve core located in the shower box 110 can be matched with the switch key arranged outside the shower box 110 through the extension rod 180; when the user customizes a longer shower box 110, the length of the extension rod 180 can be increased to ensure that the extension rod 180 has sufficient length to connect the valve core and the switch key, so that the shower box can have a longer length to facilitate the user to place more items, and the transmission matching of the valve core and the switch key can be ensured. In summary, the cooperation between the extension rod 180 with a simple structure and the shower valve body 120 can adapt to shower boxes 110 of different lengths. Through the cooperation between the extension rod 180, the shower valve body 120 and the shower box 110, the entire length of the product can be quickly customized.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, during installation, one of the two opposite end faces of the shower valve body 120 can be substantially flush with the end face of the shower box 110, and the other end face can be located in the cavity 113 of the shower box 110, for example, in the middle of the cavity 113 of the shower box 110, wherein the distance between the center of the first valve core installation opening 121 and the center of the first installation opening 114 can be equal to 0 mm, or can also be less than the length of the first valve core 150, and when the first valve core 150 is installed in the first installation opening 114, the switch structure of the first valve core 150 can be located The first switch key 171 is located outside the first installation port 114 or close to the first installation port 114. In this way, there is no need to install the extension rod 180 between the first switch key 171 and the first valve core 150. The first switch key 171 located outside the shower box 110 only needs a part of its structure to extend into the cavity 113 to connect with the first valve core 150 close to the first installation port 114, or directly does not extend into the cavity 113, and can be connected to the first valve core 150 extending out of the first installation port 114, thereby achieving the installation conditions of the first switch key 171 and the first valve core 150. The distance between the center of the second valve core mounting port 122 and the second mounting port 115 can be less than or equal to the length of the extension rod 180. When the second valve core 160 is assembled in the second valve core mounting port 122, since the second valve core 160 is located in the cavity 113, it is only necessary to add an extension rod 180 between the second valve core 160 and the second switch key 172, and extend it to a position close to the second mounting port 122 or extend it out of the second mounting port 122 through the first extension rod 180 to facilitate connection with the second switch key 172, thereby achieving the installation condition with the second switch key 172, so that the second switch key 172 arranged outside the shower box 120 can be connected to the second valve core 160 in transmission.

[0048] When the shower box 110 is of sufficient length, it is convenient for users to place more items.

The water outlet 210 can be a water-passing device such as an overhead shower head, a hand-held shower head or an exposed rod.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of water outlet parts 210 can be one or more, and the number of water outlet parts 210 can correspond to the number of water outlets 1253 on the shower valve body 120. As an example, the number of water outlets 1253 is three, two of which are connected to two fixed joints 130 respectively, and the number of water outlet parts 210 can be three, one of which can be a fixed exposed rod and can be connected to one of the water outlets 1253 through a fixed joint 130, another water outlet part 210 can be a hand-held shower head or a hose-type water-passing component and can be connected to another water outlet 1253 through a fixed joint 130, and the remaining water outlet part 210 can be a faucet with a bubbler, which can fully mix the flowing water and air to make the water flow have a foaming effect. With the addition of air, the flushing force of water can be increased, thereby effectively reducing water consumption and saving water, and at the same time preventing the outflowing water from splashing everywhere.

[0054] In summary, the shower provided by the embodiment of the present invention is provided with the above-mentioned shower assembly 100, and the length of the shower box 110 is not limited by the shower valve body 120.
