[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sanitary products, and more particularly, to a convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism and a shower device. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a shower head and an overhead shower are configured for a shower for users to use in different scenarios. However, since the simultaneous configuration of the shower head and the overhead shower occupies a large space, it is difficult to install in a small bathroom. To meet the shower needs of a small bathroom, in the prior art, the shower head is detachably configured on a wall mount, so that when the shower head is hung on the wall mount, it has a spraying effect, and when it is detached from the wall mount, it provides the effect of hand-held showering.

[0003] In the prior art, the wall mount has a C-shaped opening, and the handle of the shower head is inserted into the C-shaped opening so that the shower head is hung on the wall mount. When the shower head is not properly hung, the shower head is likely to slip out of the shower head seat under the action of gravity, causing user injury or damage to the shower head body. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention discloses a convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism, aiming to improve the problem that the installation structure of the existing shower head is prone to slipping.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following solutions:

[0006] A convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism can be used for the detachable connection between a fixed seat and a shower head body in a shower device. The mechanism includes a control unit with a limiting platform and a movable member. When the movable member is engaged with the limiting platform, it is in a locked state. The control unit further includes a guiding member with an unlocking surface. The guiding member can move up and down relative to the limiting platform and is kept at a first position away from the limiting platform under the action of a first elastic member.

[0007] When the movable member moves upward in the locked state and is engaged with the unlocking surface, when the movable member is pushed by an external force to move the guiding member downward to a second position close to the limiting platform, the movable member moves relative to the unlocking surface to disengage from the limiting platform and enter an unlocked state.

[0008] As a further improvement, a first mating surface is provided on the limiting platform. After the movable member moves upward along the first mating surface, it is engaged with the upper end of the limiting platform under the action of a second elastic member to be in the locked state.

[0009] As a further improvement, the guiding member further includes a second mating surface, and an included angle is formed between the second mating surface and the unlocking surface.

[0010] As a further improvement, the guiding member is provided with a connecting surface, the unlocking surface and the second mating surface are connected together through the connecting surface, and the second mating surface and the unlocking surface extend to form the included angle.

[0011] As a further improvement, when the guiding member is in the second position, the second mating surface is adjacent to the connecting surface so that the movable member can smoothly disengage from the unlocking surface and the connecting surface in sequence.

[0012] As a further improvement, a groove is provided at the upper end of the limiting platform, and the guiding member moves down into the groove to be in the second position.

[0013] As a further improvement, a connecting portion is provided on the limiting platform, the guiding member is sleeved on the connecting portion, and the first elastic member is abutted between the limiting platform and the guiding member.

[0014] Another shower device is provided, which includes a fixed seat and a shower head main body, and also includes a convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism as described in any one of the above, the control unit and the movable member, one of which is arranged on the fixed seat and the other is arranged on the shower head main body, and the shower head main body is detachably fixed on the fixed seat through the mechanism.

[0016] As a further improvement, a shower hole is provided on the fixed seat, and the shower hole and the shower head main body are connected to the water path through a control valve.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the following technical effects can be achieved by the present invention:

[0018] For the convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism of the present application, by setting the limiting platform and the guiding member, the movable member is engaged and locked with the limiting platform when the guiding member is in the first position; when an external force is applied to the movable member, the movable member moves upward from the locked state to be clamped with the unlocking surface of the guiding member. At this time, applying a downward force to the movable member can push the guiding member to move downward to the second position close to the limiting platform, and the movable member moves relative to the unlocking surface to disengage from the limiting platform and enter the unlocked state. When the movable member of the present application is in the locked state, the shower head is engaged and locked with the fixed seat. It is necessary to apply an external force to make the connection between the shower head and the fixed seat in the unlocked state, so as to remove the shower head from the fixed seat, avoid the shower head from hanging and slipping, and facilitate the disassembly and assembly between the shower head and the fixed seat.

[0044] Embodiment

[0045] Combined Figures 1 to 12 , this embodiment provides a mechanism that is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and can be used for the detachable connection between the fixed seat 1 and the shower head body 2 in a shower device. The mechanism includes a control unit 3 provided with a limiting platform 31 and a movable member 4. When the movable member 4 is engaged with the limiting platform 31, it is in a locked state. The control unit 3 further includes a guiding member 32 provided with an unlocking surface 321. The guiding member 32 can move up and down relative to the limiting platform 31, and under the action of a first elastic member 5, it is maintained at a first position away from the limiting platform 31. When the movable member 4 moves upward in the locked state, it is engaged with the unlocking surface 321. When the movable member 4 is pushed by an external force to move the guiding member 32 downward to a second position close to the limiting platform 31, the movable member 4 moves relative to the unlocking surface 321 to disengage from the limiting platform 31 and enter the unlocking state.

[0046] Preferably, a first mating surface 311 is provided on the limiting platform 31. The first mating surface 311 is preferably an arc surface, so that the movable member 4 can move upward along the first mating surface 311. When the movable member moves to the upper end of the limiting platform 31, it is engaged with the upper end of the limiting platform 31 under the action of a second elastic member 6 to be in a locked state.

[0047] In one embodiment, the guide member 32 further includes a second mating surface 322, and the second mating surface 322 and the unlocking surface 321 form an included angle. For example, the guide member 32 is in the shape of a rotating body, the second mating surface 322 is disposed obliquely upward, and the unlocking surface 321 is inclined downward on the other side relative to the second mating surface 322. When in the locked state, an upward force is provided to the movable member 4 in an operable manner (such as pressing upward by hand), so that the movable member 4 slides along the second mating surface 322 into the unlocking surface 321, that is, the movable member 4 is located above the guide member 32. At this time, a downward force is applied to the movable member 4, so that the movable member 4 presses down the guide member 32 to drive the guide member 32 to move toward the limiting platform 31, and at the same time the movable member 4 moves away from the guide member 32 along the unlocking surface 321 to make way, so as to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. After the movable member 4 is separated from the control unit 3, the guide member 32 moves away from the limiting platform 31 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 5, and the movable member 4 is reset under the action of the second elastic member 6. Among them, the elastic member is preferably a spring.

[0048] In another embodiment, the guide member 32 further includes a connecting surface 323 for connecting the unlocking surface 321 and the second mating surface 322, and the connecting surface 323 extends vertically to form the included angle with the extensions of the second mating surface 322 and the unlocking surface 321. The movable member 4 has a sliding surface 41 and an abutting surface 42. The sliding surface 41 is arranged parallel to the second mating surface 322, so as to assist the movable member 4 to slide from the second mating surface 322 of the guide member 32 into the unlocking surface 321. The abutting surface 42 is a plane for abutting against the limiting platform 31. The sliding surface 41 and the abutting surface 42 are transitioned by an arc surface 43, and the arc surface 43 is used to abut against the connecting surface 323. When the guide member 32 is in the second position, the second mating surface 322 is adjacent to the connecting surface 323 to enable the movable member 4 to smoothly disengage from the unlocking surface 321 and the connecting surface 323 in sequence. A groove 312 is provided at the upper end of the limiting platform 31, and the guide member 32 moves down into the groove 312 to be in the second position to ensure that the movable member 4 can smoothly escape from the control unit 3.

[0049] A connecting portion 313 is provided on the limiting platform 31, the guide member 32 is sleeved on the connecting portion 313, and the first elastic member 5 is abutted between the limiting platform 31 and the guide member 32.

[0050] The present invention further provides a shower device, which includes a fixed seat 1 and a shower head body 2. The fixed seat 1 is used to be fixed to external components such as a wall, a shower pipe, and a shower rod. The fixed seat 1 is provided with a water outlet 11, and the water inlet channel 21 at the handle end of the shower head body 2 is communicated with the water outlet 11 through a connecting pipe. A convenient disassembly and assembly mechanism described in any of the above embodiments is used to connect the fixed seat 1 and the shower head body 2. A control unit 3 is arranged on the fixed seat 1, and a movable member 4 is arranged on the shower head body 2. By the cooperation of the movable member 4 and the control unit 3, the shower head body 2 and the fixed seat 1 have two states: locked and unlocked. When in the locked state, the shower head body 2 can rotate around the fixed seat 1, and the fixed seat 1 can also be connected to a ball head seat so that the fixed seat 1 rotates relative to the ball head seat, thereby driving the shower head body 2 to rotate, so that the shower head body 2 has a more angular spraying effect. When in the unlocked state, the movable member 4 can be disengaged from the control unit 3, that is, the shower head body 2 can be removed from the fixed seat 1. The user can select the locked or unlocked state according to their own needs.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, an installation part is provided on the back of the shower head body 2, and an assembly cavity 22 is provided on the installation part. The assembly cavity 22 is recessed along the side wall of the installation part. The movable member 4 and the second elastic member are arranged in the assembly cavity 22 so that the movable member can be telescopically moved under the action of the second elastic member 6.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] Referring to Figure 6 , when the shower head body 2 is separated from the fixed seat 1 and needs to be switched to the locked state, the installation part of the shower head body 2 is aligned with the limiting member 41, and then it is pushed upward along the axis of the limiting member 41. At this time, the first mating surface 311 of the limiting platform 31 abuts against the sliding surface 41 of the movable member 4, so that the movable member 4 contracts inward. At this time, the guiding member 32 is in the first position under the action of the first elastic member 5 and is separated from the limiting platform 31 to form a gap for the movable member 4 to be inserted. Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , when the limiting platform 31 passes over the abutting surface 42 of the movable member 4, the second elastic member 6 drives the movable member 4 to extend outward into the gap. Under the action of gravity, the movable member 4 is clamped on the limiting platform 31, so that the axial direction of the shower head body 2 is in the locked state.

[0054] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , when it is necessary to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, the shower head body 2 can be pressed upward, so that the shower head body 2 moves in the direction close to the fixed seat 1, correspondingly causing the sliding surface 41 of the movable member 4 to slide into the unlocking surface 321 along the second mating surface 322 of the guiding member 32. Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12, when the moving part 4 slides into the unlocking surface 321 and is subjected to a downward force, the moving part 4 will abut against the guiding part 32 and compress the first elastic part 5 to move downward to the second position. At this time, the guiding part 31 moves towards the direction close to the limiting platform 31 to eliminate the gap. At the same time, under the action of the unlocking surface 321, the moving part 4 compresses the second elastic part 6 to contract and make way to disengage from the unlocking surface 321. When the arc surface 43 of the moving part 4 abuts against the connecting surface 323 of the guiding part 32, the moving part 4 disengages from the control unit 3, and the shower head main body 2 can be taken out from the fixing seat 1.

[0055] In another embodiment, the fixing seat 1 is provided with a shower hole, and the shower hole and the shower head main body 2 are connected to the water circuit through a control valve. When the shower head main body 2 is locked with the fixing seat 1, the shower hole and the shower head main body 2 have a rain shower function, forming a larger shower area.
