[0032] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be elaborated in detail through specific embodiments below.

[0033] The present invention is a stepless position adjustment structure for a shower column, including a column body 1, a shower head housing 2, a water inlet assembly 3, a water outlet pipe 4 and a limiting mechanism 5.

[0034] The column body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11, and the front end wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with an opening 12;

[0035] The front end of the shower head housing 2 is provided with a water outlet panel 21, and the rear end thereof is provided with a first chute 22, and the column body 1 is slidably engaged in the first chute 22;

[0036] The water inlet assembly 3 is arranged in the receiving cavity 11;

[0037] The water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 4 penetrates into the opening 12 and is telescopically engaged with the water inlet assembly 3, and its water outlet end is communicated with the water outlet panel 21;

[0038] The limiting mechanism 5 is arranged between the side surface of the column body 1 and the side wall of the first chute 22 for maintaining the relative height of the column body 1 and the shower head housing 2.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0040] A second chute 13 is provided on the side surface of the above-mentioned column body 1 for installing the limiting mechanism 5 and playing a guiding role. In this embodiment, second chutes 13 are provided on both side surfaces of the column body 1, and the limiting mechanism 5 is arranged in both second chutes 13 to ensure the balanced force on both sides of the shower head housing 2 and avoid the risk of the shower head housing 2 falling from the column body 1 due to uneven force.
