[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0041] Example

[0042] Combination Figures 1 to 17 This embodiment provides an angle-adjustable shower device, including a base 1 for installation in an external wall and an overhead shower head 2 connected to the base 1. The overhead shower head 2 is configured on the base 1 in an angle-adjustable manner to allow for operable selection of a predetermined swing angle suitable for the user's showering use. A swing member 3 is provided between the base 1 and the overhead shower head 2, and the swing member 3 can drive the overhead shower head 2 in conjunction with it along an axis defined by the base 1. The axis is formed at the end face of the base 1 and is located adjacent to the force point supporting the movement of the overhead shower head 2, thereby smoothly limiting the overhead shower head 2 within its showering angle range.

[0043] The aforementioned shower device, with its base 1 installed in the wall and the overhead shower head 2 connected, ensures that the overhead shower head 2 can adaptively adjust its swing angle to a range suitable for the user, greatly satisfying the user's showering needs and enhancing the user experience. In particular, the tight engagement of the swing component 3 between the base 1 and the overhead shower head 2 allows the overhead shower head 2 to be driven to the desired swing angle along the axis defined by the base 1. Furthermore, this axis is specifically formed on the end face of the base 1 and adjacent to the support force point of the overhead shower head 2, ensuring that the support force of the overhead shower head 2 is adjacent to or infinitely close to the axis. This reduces the torque borne by the base 1 where the axis is located, facilitating stable support and effectively improving the reliability and flexibility of the product.

[0044] It should be mentioned that, in this embodiment, the base 1 is at least partially embedded in the wall or wall surface, thereby constructing the shower device as a wall-mounted shower to facilitate pipe installation and spray use. Furthermore, the overhead shower head 2 is clearly different from the operation of a handheld shower head, ensuring that a top-down shower mode can be achieved without holding the shower head during use.

[0045] Combination Figures 2 to 9 In the first embodiment, the swing member 3 includes a hinge 4 rotatably disposed on the base 1 along the axial direction, and a connector 5 engaged with the hinge 4. The connector 5 is linked to the overhead shower head 2. The hinge 4 is horizontally positioned on the end face of the base 1 to form an axis, and the connector 5 forms a force-bearing point for supporting movement at the engagement position with the hinge 4. In this embodiment, through the tight engagement of the swing member 3 between the base 1 and the overhead shower head 2, the hinge 4 of the swing member 3 is rotatably disposed on the base 1 along the axial direction, and the connector 5 of the swing member 3 abuts against the hinge 4 and is linked to the overhead shower head 2, thereby enabling the overhead shower head 2 to be driven to the desired swing angle along the axial direction defined by the base 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a water inlet 6, and the connector 5 has a water passage that connects to the water inlet 6 and is connected to the overhead shower head 2 to supply water to the overhead shower head 2. Thus, the water inlet 6 in the base 1 is connected to the water passage of the connector 5, and the water passage is connected to the overhead shower head 2, thereby transmitting the water flow input from the water inlet 6 to the overhead shower head 2 for use. Its structure is simple and easy to install, and it is suitable for providing users with more reliable and flexible operation.

[0047] The shower device also includes a seal 7. The hinge 4 has a through hole connecting the water inlet 6 and the water passage. The seal 7 is mated between the base 1 and the hinge 4, and has a through opening connecting the base 1 and the through hole. The seal 7 is a sealing ring adapted to allow the hinge 4 to rotate freely after mating, thus not interfering with its swing angle. Preferably, external water entering the connector 5 through the water inlet 6 is first contained within the base 1 and sealed by the sealing ring, then enters the through hole of the hinge 4 through the through opening of the sealing ring, thereby being transferred to the water inlet inserted into the hinge 4, achieving efficient and sealed water delivery.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, at least a plurality of connectors 5 are arranged at intervals along the length of the hinge member 4, and each connector 5, after being engaged with the hinge member 4, is interlocked with a locking member 8 with a handle, thereby enabling the entire assembly to work together. Specifically, the handle is located on both sides of the locking member 8, making it convenient for the user to directly lift and interlock the connectors 5 into a whole. The locking member 8 is placed horizontally in the middle of each connector 5 near the hinge axis, interlocking and locking the connectors 5 together in a top-down insertion manner. The locking member 8 can at least be engaged and aligned with the overhead shower head 2 to ensure a tighter linkage between the connectors 5 and the overhead shower head 2.

[0049] The overhead shower head 2 has a protruding joint 9 on its back. The connector 5 and the joint 9 are fitted together by a hole-plug connection, ensuring a tight fit between the connector 5 and the overhead shower head 2. Specifically, the connector 5 is configured as a water inlet rod, with one end screwed onto the hinge shaft 4 to seal its internal water passage with the through hole. The other end is sealed onto the joint 9 by a male-female plug-in connection. Clearly, the internal water flow can only be achieved after the overhead shower head 2 is connected to the water inlet rod. Furthermore, after each water inlet rod is screwed onto the hinge shaft 4, they are connected as a single unit via the locking element 8, and then all connect to the joint 9 of the overhead shower head 2, significantly improving the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a base plate 10, a main body 11 disposed on the base plate 10, and a cover 12 covering the end faces of the base plate 10 and the main body 11. The cover 12 serves both protective and decorative purposes. The main body 11 is at least partially disposed through the base plate 10 and the cover 12, with a water inlet 6 located on the back of the main body 11. A hinge seat 13 for accommodating the hinge shaft 4 is provided on the front of the main body 11. The hinge seat 13 includes two opposing seats detachably disposed on the main body 11. The seats are configured on the main body 11 by two adjusting members 14 to adjust the tightness of the hinge shaft 4 during rotational movement on the hinge seat 13. Thus, the hinge pin 4 housed in the hinge seat 13 can rotate along its axial direction. The adjusting member 14 on the seat body is preferably a fastener such as a screw, thereby locking or loosening the seat body on the main body 11, correspondingly adjusting the tightness of the hinge pin 4 relative to the hinge seat 13, which is conducive to the top spray shower head 2 reaching a relatively tight and balanced state after swinging angle.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the hinge member 4 has limiting surfaces 15 at both ends that cooperate with the main body 11. The limiting surfaces 15 are configured to limit the preset swing angle between 13° and 30°. The main body 11 has a corresponding locking structure (not shown) formed on the limiting surfaces 15 after reciprocating rotation, thereby restricting the hinge member 4 within the required swing angle. For example, taking the overhead shower head 2 with a ground clearance of 2000mm, the swing angle is 13° after the first extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 450mm. And, the swing angle is 30° after the second extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 1120mm. Within this distance range, the spray usage needs of various groups of people can be met.

[0052] In this embodiment, the wall-mounted shower also includes a decorative cover 16 placed on the swing member 3. The decorative cover 16 is a hollow U-shaped body, with its U-shaped end elastically fastened to the cover body 12 to form a movable hinge, and its other end configured to fasten to the back of the overhead shower head 2. In this embodiment, it specifically fastens to the front end of the connecting part 9 (away from the male and female insertion end), so that after the cover is installed, it completely covers the swing member 3, making the overall structure appear as a single piece. This significantly improves the product's recognizability. As described above, the detachable cover 16 between the base 1 and the shower head greatly enhances the product's service life and core competitiveness. In this embodiment, the cover body 12 has protruding snap grooves 17 on both outer sides of the hinge seat 13, and the decorative cover 16 is equipped with elastic bushings 18 that engage with the snap grooves 17. The decorative cover 16 can be frequently and quickly installed and removed from the base 1 via the snap-lock groove 17, and the elastic bushing 18 can significantly improve the hinge fit between the two.

[0053] Combination Figures 10 to 13 In the second embodiment, the swing member 3 includes a connector 5 disposed on the base 1 via a ball-joint hinge, and the connector 5 is linked to the overhead shower head 2. The connector 5 has an axis at its ball-joint end suitable for rotation to adjust the swing angle of the overhead shower head 2, and a force-bearing point for supporting the movement of the overhead shower head 2, thereby smoothly limiting the overhead shower head 2 to its showering angle range. In this embodiment, through the tight engagement of the swing member 3 between the base 1 and the overhead shower head 2, the connector 5 of the swing member 3 is disposed on the base 1 via a ball-joint hinge, and the connector 5 is linked to the overhead shower head 2, thereby enabling the overhead shower head 2 to be driven to the desired swing angle along the axis direction constructed at the ball-joint hinge. Furthermore, the force-bearing point and the axis for supporting the movement of the overhead shower head 2 are both formed at the ball-joint hinge of the connector 5, tending to be infinitely adjacent, thus combining the rotation and support of the overhead shower head 2 on the base 1, significantly improving the installation and operability.

[0054] Furthermore, the connector 5 is configured as an inlet rod with a ball-shaped end 19. The base 1 has a movable cavity that allows the ball-shaped end 19 to be freely accommodated. The ball-shaped end 19 is detachably engaged into the movable cavity via a clamping member 20 disposed on the base 1. Thus, the movable cavity and the ball-shaped end 19 are engaged to allow the inlet rod to swing at an angle relative to the base 1. After the ball-shaped end 19 is accommodated in the movable cavity, the clamping member 20 is disposed on the base 1 to further limit the movement of the ball-shaped end 19, preventing the inlet rod from detaching from the base 1.

[0055] In this embodiment, a limiting washer 21 and a sealing element 7 are sequentially provided between the movable cavity and the ball end 19, and the ball end 19 is always connected to the water inlet 6 during its swing. In this embodiment, both the limiting washer 21 and the sealing element 7 are configured as ring-shaped structures adapted to the hinged movement of the ball end 19, so that they work together to limit and seal the movement without interfering with the swing angle movement of the ball end 19. Preferably, the external water entering the water inlet rod through the water inlet 6 is first accommodated in the base 1 and sealed by the sealing element 7. The water passage of the water inlet rod is directly connected to the inside of the base 1, so as to receive the external water and transmit it to the top spray head 2, thereby achieving efficient and closed water delivery.

[0056] The clamping member 20 is plate-shaped, with a threaded connector 22 on its end face for adjusting the tightness of the ball end 19 during its movement within the movable cavity. A bushing 23 suitable for hinged movement is provided between the clamping member 20 and the ball end 19. In this embodiment, the threaded connector 22, on the one hand, can install the clamping member 20 onto the base 1 to seal the movable cavity, achieving effective installation and limiting fit of the ball end 19 within the movable cavity; on the other hand, the threaded connector 22 can further control the tightness of the clamping member 20 relative to the base 1, correspondingly implementing locking or loosening operations, thereby ensuring that the overhead shower head 2 reaches a relatively tight and balanced state after swinging an angle.

[0057] The ball head end 19 extends outward with a limiting end 24, which abuts against the movable cavity of the base 1 to limit the swing angle to between 13° and 30° relative to the horizontal plane. Specifically, a locking structure (not shown) is formed on the base 1 corresponding to the limiting end 24 after reciprocating rotation, thereby restricting the water inlet rod within the required swing angle. It should be noted that, taking the overhead shower head 2 with a ground clearance of 2000mm as an example, the swing angle is 13° after the first extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 450mm. And, the swing angle is 30° after the second extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 1120mm. Within this distance range, the spray usage needs of various groups of people can be met.

[0058] In this embodiment, multiple water inlet rods and their associated movable chambers are arranged side by side, and each water inlet rod is interlocked with a locking member 8 having a handle, thereby enabling them to work together as a whole. Specifically, the handles are located on both sides of the locking member 8, allowing the user to easily lift and connect the water inlet rods into a single unit. The locking member 8 is horizontally positioned on the middle of each water inlet rod near the hinge axis, interlocking and locking the water inlet rods together in a top-down insertion manner. The locking member 8 can at least engage with the overhead shower head 2 to ensure a tighter linkage between the water inlet rods and the overhead shower head 2.

[0059] The overhead shower head 2 has a protruding connecting part 9 on its back. The water inlet rod and the connecting part 9 are fitted together by a hole-plug connection, ensuring a tight connection between the water inlet rod and the overhead shower head 2. Specifically, one end of the water inlet rod is hinged to the base 1 with a ball joint to seal its internal water passage with the water inlet 6, while the other end is sealed to the connecting part 9 by a male-female plug-in connection. Clearly, the internal water flow can only be achieved after the overhead shower head 2 is connected to the water inlet rod. Furthermore, after each water inlet rod is screwed to the hinge pin 4, they are connected as a whole by the locking element 8, and then all connect to the connecting part 9 of the overhead shower head 2, significantly improving the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0060] like Figure 9 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a base plate 10, a main body 11 disposed on the base plate 10, and a cover 12 covering the end faces of the base plate 10 and the main body 11. The cover 12 serves both protective and decorative purposes. The main body 11 is at least partially disposed through the base plate 10 and the cover 12, with the water inlet 6 located on the back of the main body 11. The front of the main body 11 has a movable cavity for accommodating the connector 5, allowing direct docking of the ball end 19 with the movable cavity, followed by a closing operation via the clamping member 20, facilitating quick disassembly and maintenance.

[0061] In this embodiment, the overhead shower also includes a decorative cover 16 placed on the swing member 3. The specific implementation and configuration of the decorative cover 16 can be found in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] Combination Figures 14 to 17In the third embodiment, the swing member 3 includes a swing body 25 rotatably disposed on the base 1 and a connector 5 inserted into the swing body 25. The swing body 25 is movably engaged with the base 1, and the connector 5 is linked with the overhead shower head 2. The base 1 has a raised axis portion 26, and the swing body 25 has a mating portion 27 adapted to the axis portion 26, allowing the mating portion 27 to move relative to the axis portion 26, thereby operably driving the overhead shower head 2 to select a predetermined swing angle suitable for the user's showering. In this embodiment, specifically through the tight engagement of the swing member 3 between the base 1 and the overhead shower head 2, the swing body 25 of the swing member 3 is rotatably disposed on the base 1 along the axial direction, and the connector 5 of the swing member 3 abuts against the swing body 25 and is linked with the overhead shower head 2, thereby enabling the overhead shower head 2 to be linked to the desired swing angle along the axial direction. The base 1 is provided with an axis portion 26, and the swing body 25 is provided with a corresponding mating portion 27, thereby allowing the mating portion 27 to move relative to the axis portion 26, thereby driving the top spray shower head 2 to swing angle. The axis portion 26 is formed on the base 1 and constructed as a reference that facilitates the movement of the swing body 25, making the fit between the two tighter and the stability better.

[0063] like Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 5 is configured as a water inlet rod. The base 1 is provided with a water inlet 6, and the water inlet rod has a water passage connecting to the water inlet 6. The water passage is also connected to the overhead shower head 2 to supply water to the overhead shower head 2. That is, the water inlet 6 in the base 1 is connected to the water passage of the connector 5, and the water passage is connected to the overhead shower head 2, thereby transmitting the water flow input from the water inlet 6 to the overhead shower head 2 for use. Its structure is simple and easy to install, and it is suitable for providing users with more reliable and flexible operation.

[0064] Furthermore, the pendulum component 25 is a single piece, with the outer end of the axis portion 26 constructed as an arc-shaped surface suitable for guiding movement, and the mating portion 27 recessed into a concave surface suitable for abutting and fitting against the arc-shaped surface. Thus, through the abutting rotation between the arc-shaped surface protruding on one side of the base 1 and the concave surface on the pendulum component 25, the contact surface for hinged rotation is greatly improved, making the relative movement between the two more stable and efficient, and ensuring that the axis of the two tends to stabilize after the swing angle.

[0065] The axis portion 26 has fixed shafts 28 protruding at both ends. The pendulum component 25 is sleeved on the fixed shafts 28 via a rotating component 29 to confine the pendulum component 25 within its movement path. In this embodiment, the rotating component 29 is connected to the fixed shaft 28 via a bushing to improve the smoothness of the swing process. Furthermore, the rotating component 29 is positioned on both sides of the pendulum component 25 to limit its assembly and disassembly on the base 1, thereby confining the pendulum component 25 within its possible swing angle path.

[0066] The rotating member 29 extends outward and is provided with a limiting part 30. The base 1 can abut against the limiting part 30 to limit the swing angle to between 13° and 30° relative to the horizontal plane. Specifically, a locking structure (not shown) is formed on the base 1 corresponding to the limiting part 30 after reciprocating rotation, thereby restricting the water inlet rod within the required swing angle. Furthermore, taking a top spray shower head 2 with a ground clearance of 2000mm as an example, the swing angle is 13° after the first extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 450mm. And, the swing angle is 30° after the second extreme position, at which point the lateral distance of the spray from the ground is 1120mm. Within this distance range, the spray usage needs of various groups of people can be met.

[0067] In this embodiment, the axis portion 26, horizontally positioned on the end face of the base 1, forms an axis for adjusting the swing angle of the overhead shower head 2. The connecting member 5, at its connection point with the swing body member 25, forms a force-bearing point for supporting the movement of the overhead shower head 2, thereby stably limiting the overhead shower head 2 within its showering angle range. Specifically, in this embodiment, the axis is formed on the end face of the base 1 and adjacent to the direction of the support force-bearing point of the overhead shower head 2, ensuring that the support force of the overhead shower head 2 is adjacent to the axis. This results in less torque on the base 1 where the axis is located, facilitating stable support and effectively improving the reliability and flexibility of product operation.

[0068] like Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting portion 9 is provided on the protruding back of the overhead shower head 2. The connecting member 5 and the connecting portion 9 are adapted to each other by a hole-plug connection, so that the connecting member 5 and the overhead shower head 2 are tightly connected. At least a plurality of connecting members 5 are arranged at intervals along the length of the swing body 25, and each connecting member 5, after being connected to the swing body 25, is interlocked with a locking member 8 with a handle, thereby enabling the whole assembly to work together. Specifically, the handle is located on both sides of the locking member 8, allowing the user to easily lift and connect the connecting members 5 into a whole. The locking member 8 is horizontally placed on the middle of each connecting member 5 near the hinge axis, interlocking and locking the connecting members 5 together in a top-down plug-in manner. The locking member 8 can at least be engaged and aligned with the overhead shower head 2 to ensure further tight linkage between the connecting member 5 and the overhead shower head 2.

[0069] Specifically, one end of the connector 5 is screwed onto the hinge pin 4 to seal its internal water passage with the through hole, while the other end is sealed onto the joint 9 via a male-female insertion method. Clearly, the internal water flow can only be achieved after the top shower head 2 is connected to the inlet rod. Furthermore, after each inlet rod is screwed onto the swing body 25, they are connected as a whole via the locking member 8, and then collectively connected to the joint 9 of the top shower head 2, significantly improving its assembly and disassembly performance.

[0070] A sealing element 7 and an adjusting plate 31 are provided between the axis portion 26 and the mating portion 27. The adjusting plate 31 is plate-shaped and sandwiched therein. A threaded connector 22 is provided on the outer end face of the swing body 25 for adjusting the tightness of the swing body 25 relative to the axis portion 26 during its movement. The adjusting plate 31 is preferably a buffer pad, so that it is elastically clamped between the swing body 25 and the axis portion 26. Furthermore, the threaded connector 22 passes through the swing body 25 and the adjusting plate 31 on one hand, thereby realizing the effective installation and limiting fit between the two. On the other hand, the threaded connector 22 can further control the tightness of the swing body 25 relative to the axis portion 26, and correspondingly perform locking or loosening operations, thereby ensuring that the overhead shower head 2 reaches a relatively tight and balanced state after swinging.

[0071] Specifically, the sealing element 7 and the adjusting plate 31 are designed to accommodate the free rotation of the swing body 25 after it is attached to the axis portion 26, thus preventing interference with its swing angle. The swing body 25, the sealing element 7, and the adjusting plate 31 all have openings connecting the water inlet 6 and the water passage. The sealing element 7 and the adjusting plate 31 are sequentially connected and positioned between the base 1 and the swing body 25. Preferably, external water entering the connecting member 5 through the water inlet 6 is first contained within the base 1 and sealed by the sealing ring before being introduced into the water passage through the opening, thereby being transferred to the water inlet inserted into the swing body 25, achieving efficient and closed water delivery.

[0072] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a base plate 10, a main body 11 disposed on the base plate 10, and a cover 12 covering the end faces of the base plate 10 and the main body 11. The cover 12 serves both protective and decorative purposes. The main body 11 is at least partially disposed through the base plate 10 and the cover 12, with the water inlet 6 located on the back of the main body 11, and the axis portion 26 integrally formed on the front of the main body 11. The shower device also includes a decorative cover 16 covering the swing member 3. The specific implementation and configuration of the decorative cover 16 can be referred to the content of the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0073] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
