Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shower equipment, and more specifically, to a mounting base, a shower head, and a shower head assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, magnets are placed in both the shower head and the wall mount (for installing the shower head), using magnetic attraction to achieve a reusable connection between the shower head and the wall mount. This magnetic connection method has a problem: the magnet has a strong magnetic force in the forward direction, but a weak magnetic force in the longitudinal direction, making the shower head prone to falling off under gravity. To increase the magnetic force in the longitudinal direction, some solutions increase the overall magnetic force, but this makes the shower head difficult to remove. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a mounting base, a shower head, and a shower head assembly. The mounting base can be used in conjunction with the shower head to achieve a dual fixation of the shower head to the mounting base via magnetic attraction and snap-fit, making the shower head more securely fixed and easy to remove.

[0004] This invention provides a mounting base for use with a shower head. The shower head can be mounted on the mounting base. The mounting base includes a base body, a first magnetic element, and a first fastening element. The first magnetic element and the first fastening element are both mounted to the base body. The shower head is mounted on the outer surface of the base body.

[0005] The first magnetic component is configured to magnetically attract the shower head installed on the base, and the first fastening component is configured to fasten to the shower head.

[0006] The first fastening member includes a fastening member body, and a driving part and a fastening part disposed on the fastening member body.

[0007] The fastening member body is movably connected to the seat body. The driving part is configured to move under the action of the shower head to drive the fastening part to move, so that the first fastening member switches from a released state to a fastened state. In the fastened state, the first fastening member rotates under the push of the shower head, causing the fastening part to extend out of the outer surface of the seat body. The fastening part is configured to engage with the shower head to prevent the shower head from falling under the action of gravity. In the released state, the fastening part does not protrude out of the outer surface of the seat body to separate from the shower head.

[0008] This invention provides a shower head, comprising: a shower head body, a second magnetic component, and a second fastening component, wherein both the second magnetic component and the second fastening component are installed to the shower head body;

[0009] The second magnetic component is configured to magnetically attract the first magnetic component of the mounting base described in the above embodiment, and the second fastening component is configured to fasten to the first fastening component of the mounting base.

[0010] This invention provides a shower assembly, including the mounting base and the shower head described in the above embodiments, wherein the shower head is configured to be installed on the mounting base.

[0011] The mounting base described in this application embodiment can be used in conjunction with installation components such as shower heads. The mounting base can use a first magnetic component to magnetically attract the shower head installed on the mounting base, and can also use a first fastening component to fasten the shower head. This achieves a fixed connection between the mounting base and the shower head through a combination of magnetic attraction and fastening, which improves the connection stability between the mounting base and the shower head. It can solve the problem in the prior art where the shower head is only fixed by a magnet, resulting in a small magnetic force in the longitudinal direction, which makes the shower head easy to fall off under gravity or inconvenient to remove.

[0012] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in the following description. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-13 An exemplary embodiment of this application provides a mounting base 100, a shower head 200, and a shower head assembly. The shower head 200 can be used in conjunction with the mounting base 100, and the shower head 200 can be mounted on the mounting base 100 to form a shower head assembly, that is, the shower head assembly includes the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0033] It should be understood that the mounting base 100 described in this application embodiment can not only be used with the shower head 200, but can also be used with other mounting components that can be installed on the mounting base 100.

[0034] The following explanation uses the shower head 200 as an example.

[0035] like Figures 1-12 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this application provides a mounting base 100, including: a base body 1, a first magnetic element 2, and a first fastening element 3, both of which are mounted to the base body 1. The first magnetic element 2 is configured to magnetically attract a shower head 200 mounted to the base body 1, and the first fastening element 3 is configured to fasten to the shower head 200.

[0036] The mounting base 100 includes a first magnetic element 2 and a first fastening element 3. When the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, the first magnetic element 2 can be magnetically attracted to the second magnetic element 8 of the shower head 200 (details below). Under the guiding action of the magnetic attraction, the first fastening element 3 can be fastened to the shower head 200 to achieve magnetic attraction and fastening fixation between the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200.

[0037] The mounting base 100 described in this application uses a first magnetic element 2 to magnetically fix the shower head 200 installed on the base body 1, and uses a first fastening element 3 to fasten and fix the shower head 200. This combination of magnetic attraction and fastening connection between the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200 improves the connection stability between the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200. It can solve the problems in the prior art where the shower head is easily dropped under gravity due to being fixed only by magnetic attraction, and the problem where the shower head is difficult to remove due to excessive magnetic attraction.

[0038] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 2-9As shown, the first fastening member 3 includes a fastening member body 31, and a driving part 32 and a fastening part 33 disposed on the fastening member body 31.

[0039] The fastening body 31 is movably connected to the seat 1, allowing the first fastening member 3 to have a fastened state and a released state, wherein, for example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the engaged state, the engaging part 33 engages with the shower head 200; as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the released state, the latching part 33 separates from the shower head 200.

[0040] The drive unit 32 is configured to move under the action of the shower head 200, so that the first fastening member 3 switches from the released state to the fastening state.

[0041] In the first fastening member 3, the fastening member body 31 is movably connected to the seat 1, so that the fastening member body 31 can move relative to the seat 1, so that the state of the first fastening member 3 can be changed between the fastened state and the released state. The fastening member body 31 is provided with a driving part 32 and a fastening part 33. When the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, under the action of magnetic attraction, the shower head 200 can be fixed to the mounting base 100. At the same time, the shower head 200 can apply an external force to the driving part 32, so that the driving part 32 moves, thereby driving the fastening member body 31 and the fastening part 33 to move, so that the fastening part 33 is fastened to the shower head 200, realizing the switching of the first fastening member 3 from the released state to the fastened state, so as to fasten and fix the shower head 200 to the mounting base 100.

[0042] Among them, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, at this time, the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200 have separated, and the first fastening element 3 is in the released state; as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shower head 200 is installed on the base 1, and the first fastening part 3 is in the fastening state.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the fastening body 31 is provided with a rotating connection part 34, which is rotatably connected to the seat 1, and the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening part 3 is aligned with the center line 6 of the first magnetic part 2 (see Figure 1). Figure 2 The drive part 32 and the fastening part 33 are located on both sides of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 and are arranged opposite to each other.

[0044] In the first fastening member 3, the rotating connecting part 34 on the fastening member body 31 is rotatably connected to the seat 1 to realize the rotatable connection between the first fastening member 3 and the seat 1, so that the fastening member body 31 can rotate relative to the seat 1. The first fastening member 3 is similar to a lever or seesaw. Among them, the end of the center line 6 of the first magnetic member 2 near the shower head 200 (i.e., the front end) can be tilted downward, that is, the center line 6 of the first magnetic member 2 is set tilted downward as a whole. The rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 intersects perpendicularly with the center line 6 of the first magnetic member 2. The driving part 32 and the fastening part 33 are located on the upper and lower sides of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3, respectively. For example, the driving part 32 can be located on the lower side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3, and the fastening part 33 can be located on the upper side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3. The driving part 32 and the fastening part 33 are arranged opposite to each other, so that during the process of the fastening member body 31 rotating relative to the seat 1, one of the driving part 32 and the fastening part 33 can move away from the first magnetic member 2, and the other can move towards the first magnetic member 2. In order to apply external force to the driving part 32 through the shower head 200, drive the fastening part 33 to move, and realize the switching of the first fastening member 3 from the released state to the fastened state.

[0045] It should be understood that the movable connection between the fastening body 31 and the seat 1 is not limited to the rotational connection between the first fastening member 3 and the seat 1, but can also be other movable connections. For example, in another exemplary embodiment, the first fastening member 3 and the seat 1 are translatably connected, that is, the first fastening member 3 can translate relative to the seat 1 so that the first fastening member 3 can switch between a released state and a fastened state; wherein, the shower head 200 can drive the fastening body 31 and the fastening part 33 to translate through the driving part 32 so as to realize the switching of the first fastening member 3 from the released state to the fastened state.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, the center of gravity of the first fastening member 3 is located on the side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 closer to the drive part 32, and the first fastening member 3 is configured to remain in the released state under its own weight.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the center of gravity of the first fastening member 3 is located on the side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 closer to the drive part 32. For example, the center of gravity of the first fastening member 3 is located on the lower side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3. That is, the upper part of the first fastening member 3 is lighter and the lower part is heavier, so that when the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100 are separated, the first fastening member 3 can automatically reset under its own weight and remain in the released state. This avoids the need to set a separate reset member to make the first fastening member 3 automatically reset, which helps to simplify the structure of the mounting base 100. The state of the first fastening member 3 after resetting under gravity is as follows. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0048] It should be understood that the first fastening member 3 can not only be automatically held in the released state under the action of gravity, but also be automatically held in the released state by other means. For example, in another exemplary embodiment, the mounting base 100 also includes an elastic reset member (not shown), which is disposed between the first fastening member 3 and the base 1. The first fastening member 3 is configured to be held in the released state under the action of the elastic reset member. That is, when the first fastening member 3 is not subjected to an external force applied by the shower head 200 (such as the shower head 200 separating from the mounting base 100), the first fastening member 3 can be held in the released state under the elastic force of the elastic reset member; when the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, the shower head 200 can apply an external force to the first fastening member 3 through the driving part 32, and the first fastening member 3 can be displaced and compressed to compress the elastic reset member, so that the first fastening member 3 switches from the released state to the fastened state. At this time, the fastening part 33 of the first fastening member 3 can be fastened and fixed with the shower head 200.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 2-10 As shown, the seat 1 includes a support base 11 and a face cover 12. The support base 11 and the face cover 12 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 13, and the first fastening member 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 13. The face cover 12 is provided with a first slot 121, which is configured to allow the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 to pass through to push the driving part 32; the face cover 12 is provided with a second slot 122, and the fastening part 33 is configured to pass through the second slot 122 to fasten with the shower head 200.

[0050] In the mounting base 100, the support base 11 and the cover 12 of the base body 1 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 13, and the first fastening member 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 13, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the mounting base 100.

[0051] In order for the shower head 200 to apply external force to the drive part 32 of the first fastening member 3, a first slot 121 is provided on the face cover 12. The first slot 121 corresponds to the position of the drive part 32 and can be located at the lower part of the face cover 12. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, under the action of magnetic attraction, the shower head 200 can be fixed on the mounting base 100. At the same time, under the guiding action of magnetic attraction, the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 can pass through the first slot 121 to contact the drive part 32 and push the drive part 32, so that the first fastening member 3 rotates as a whole, realizing the switching from the released state to the fastening state.

[0052] To enable the fastening part 33 of the first fastening member 3 to be fastened and connected to the shower head 200, a second slot 122 is provided on the cover 12. The second slot 122 corresponds to the position of the fastening part 33 and can be located on the upper part of the cover 12. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100 and the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 pushes the first fastening member 3 to rotate, the fastening part 33 can pass through the second slot 122 and extend out of the face cover 12 so as to fasten and connect with the shower head 200.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 2-5 , Figures 8-9 As shown, the driving part 32 includes a driving protrusion disposed on the end face of the fastening body 31 near the cover 12, and the fastening part 33 includes a fastening protrusion disposed on the end face of the fastening body 31 near the cover 12.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the released state, the drive part 32 is configured to extend into the first slot 121 and not protrude from the outer surface of the cover 12; the fastening part 33 is configured to extend into the second slot 122 and not protrude from the outer surface of the cover 12.

[0055] Specifically, the first fastening member 3 is a one-piece structure, and the driving part 32 includes a driving protrusion disposed on the fastening member body 31, and the fastening part 33 includes a fastening protrusion disposed on the fastening member body 31, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the first fastening member 3 is in the released state, the driving part 32 is set to extend into the first slot 121 and not protrude from the outer surface of the cover 12. For example, the end face of the protruding end of the driving part 32 can be set to be flush with the outer surface of the cover 12. The fastening part 33 is set to extend into the second slot 122 and not protrude from the outer surface of the cover 12. For example, the end face of the protruding end of the fastening part 33 can be set to be flush with the outer surface of the cover 12, so that after the mounting base 100 is separated from the shower head 200, the outer surface of the mounting base 100 is flush, thereby improving the overall aesthetic appearance of the mounting base 100 after it is separated from the shower head 200.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the first fastening member 3 is in the fastening state, the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 can push the driving part 32 to move inward toward the mounting base 100, and the fastening part 33 can move outward and extend out of the cover 12 to insert into the fastening groove 91 of the shower head 200 (details below), thereby realizing the fastening connection between the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200.

[0057] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the protruding end of the fastening part 33 may be provided with a first guide slope, so that the fastening part 33 as a whole can be wedge-shaped. The first guide slope can play a guiding role when the fastening part 33 is fastened with the shower head 200, so that the fastening part 33 can be smoothly fastened into the shower head 200.

[0058] To ensure that the center of gravity of the first fastening member 3 is located on the side of its rotation axis 5 closer to the drive unit 32, the vertical dimension of the drive unit 32 is set to be larger than that of the fastening member 33. This results in the weight of the drive unit 32 being greater than that of the fastening member 33, causing the center of the first fastening member 33 to be offset towards the side where the drive unit 32 is located. Furthermore, setting the vertical dimension of the drive unit 32 to be larger than that of the fastening member 33 increases the contact area between the drive unit 32 and the push protrusion 92 of the shower head 200, ensuring that the push protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 can contact the drive unit 32 of the first fastening member 3 and push the first fastening member 3 to rotate.

[0059] Of course, the center of gravity of the first fastening member 3 can also be located on the side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 closer to the drive part 32 in other ways, such as: setting a counterweight on the first fastening member 3, which can be located on the same side of the rotation axis 5 of the first fastening member 3 as the drive part 32.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the first magnetic component 2 is cylindrical, the first slot 121 is a first arc groove, and the central axis of the first arc groove (the axis passing through the center of the first arc groove) 6-I is parallel to the center line 6 of the first magnetic component 2 (see...). Figure 2 The first slot 121 is configured to allow the push protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 to swing around the center line 6 of the first magnetic element in the locked state, so as to adjust the position of the shower head 200 relative to the mounting base 100.

[0061] The first magnetic component 2 is cylindrical, and the first slot 121 is configured as a first arc groove, with its central axis 6-I coinciding with the center line 6 of the first magnetic component 2. Thus, when the shower head 200 is installed in the mounting base 100, if the shower head 200 is not placed in the mounting position... Figure 13 Instead of the vertical position shown in (b), it was placed as... Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 In the tilted state shown in (c), the shower head 200 can rotate relative to the mounting base 100 around the center line 6 of the first magnetic component under its own gravity. The pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 can swing within the first slot 121 of the mounting base 100, allowing the shower head 200 to be moved by... Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 (c) The tilted state shown in the figure automatically returns to the original state. Figure 13 (b) shows the vertical position, which enables the shower head 200 to automatically return to the upright position after being placed at an angle, thus improving the convenience of installing the shower head 200 onto the mounting base 100.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the driving part 32 includes a driving surface 321, which is an arc extending circumferentially along the first magnetic element 2. The driving surface 32 is configured to slidably abut against the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 (i.e., abut and slide relative to it in the abutting state), allowing the pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 to abut against the driving surface 32, so that the pushing protrusion 92 pushes the driving part 32, causing the first fastening member 3 to rotate and be in a fastened state. When the first fastening member 3 is in the fastened state, and the shower head 200 rotates relative to the mounting base 100 to adjust its position relative to the mounting base 100, the pushing protrusion 92 can slide on the driving surface 321 while maintaining contact with it. The driving surface 321 is configured as an arc extending circumferentially along the first magnetic element 6 to facilitate the sliding of the pushing protrusion 92 relative to the driving surface 321 while it is in contact with it.

[0063] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the driving part 32 can be an arc-shaped protrusion extending circumferentially along the first magnetic element 2, and the end face of its protruding end forms a driving surface 321, which is arc-shaped.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first slot 121 includes a first wall 1211 away from the second slot 122, and one end of the first wall 1211 near the outer surface of the cover 12 is inclined toward the side near the second slot 122.

[0065] The first slot 121 includes a first wall surface 1211, which may be the lower wall surface of the lower part of the first slot 121. The side of the first wall surface 1211 near the outer surface of the cover 12 is inclined towards the side near the second slot 122, that is, the side of the first wall surface 1211 near the outer surface of the cover 12 is inclined upward. Therefore, in Figure 5 and Figure 6 After the shower head 200 is installed into the mounting base 100, the pushing protrusion 92 can extend into the first slot 121. The inclined first wall surface 1211 of the first slot 121 can prevent the pushing protrusion 92 from automatically dislodging from the first slot 121, thereby helping to ensure that the first fastening member 3 remains in the fastened state under the action of the pushing protrusion 92, and enhancing the connection stability between the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the fastening part 33 is an arc-shaped protrusion, and the central axis of the arc-shaped protrusion (the axis passing through the center of the arc-shaped protrusion) 6-II is parallel to the center line 6 of the first magnetic element 2 (see...). Figure 2The second slot 122 is a second arc groove that matches the shape of the fastening part 33, and the central axis of the second arc groove (the axis passing through the center of the second arc groove) 6-III coincides with the center line 6 of the first magnetic element 2.

[0067] The fastening part 33 is an arc-shaped protrusion that matches the shape of the fastening part 33. The second slot 122 is a second arc-shaped groove, and the central axis 6-II of the arc-shaped protrusion and the central axis 6-III of the second arc-shaped groove both coincide with the center line 6 of the first magnetic element 2. Thus, when the shower head 200 is installed in the mounting base 100, if the shower head 200 is not placed in the mounting base 100, the shower head 200 will be able to reach the mounting base 100. Figure 13 Instead of the vertical position shown in (b), it is placed as... Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 In the tilted state shown in (c), the shower head 200 can rotate relative to the mounting base 100 under its own weight, and the fastening part 33 can slide within the fastening groove 91 of the shower head 200, allowing the shower head 200 to rotate freely. Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 (c) The tilted state shown in the figure automatically returns to the original state. Figure 13 (b) shows the vertical position, which enables the shower head 200 to automatically return to the upright position after being placed at an angle, thus improving the convenience of installing the shower head 200 onto the mounting base 100.

[0068] The dimension of the drive part 32 along the vertical direction is set to be larger than the dimension of the fastening part 33 along the vertical direction. In order to match the dimensions of the drive part 32 and the fastening part 33, the radial width of the first arc groove (i.e. the dimension of the first slot 121 along the vertical direction) is set to be larger than the radial width of the second arc groove (i.e. the dimension of the second slot 122 along the vertical direction).

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, the inner surface of the cover 12 is provided with a first mounting groove 123 for mounting the first magnetic component 2. The base 1 also includes a magnetic component support 14, which is located in the receiving cavity 13 and abuts against the first magnetic component 2 to fix the first magnetic component 2 in the first mounting groove 123. To match the shape of the cylindrical first magnetic component 2, the first mounting groove 123 can be a cylindrical groove.

[0070] The fastener body 31 has a through hole through which the magnetic component bracket 14 can pass to abut against the first magnetic component 2, thereby limiting and fixing the first magnetic component 2 in the first mounting groove 123.

[0071] The cover 12 is provided with a rotating support portion 124 located outside the first mounting groove 123, and the rotating connecting portion 34 of the first fastening member 3 is rotatably engaged with the rotating support portion 124. There may be two rotating support portions 124, each with a cylindrical shaft hole. In the first fastening member 3, two cylindrical protrusions may be provided on the inner side of the fastening member body 31 to form the rotating connecting portion 34. The two cylindrical protrusions can be inserted into the shaft holes of the two rotating support portions 124 respectively, and the protrusions can rotate within the shaft holes to achieve a rotating engagement between the rotating connecting portion 34 and the rotating support portion 124, so that the first fastening member 3 can switch between a fastened state and a released state relative to the seat 1.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the mounting base 100 also includes a plug-in portion 15, which is located on one side outside the base body 1 and connected to the base body 1, that is, the plug-in portion 15 is installed on one side of the base body 1; the plug-in portion 15 is configured to be plugged into and fixed with the shower head 200.

[0073] In the mounting base 100, the base body 1 can be fixed to the wall, and the face cover 12 can be located at the front of the base body 1, that is, on the side away from the wall, so that the shower head 200 can be fixed to the front of the mounting base 100 by magnetic attraction and fastening; the plug part 15 can be fixed to the outside of one side of the base body 1, such as: the plug part 15 can be fixed to the left or right side of the base body 1, so that the shower head 200 can also be plugged into the plug part 15, that is, the shower head 200 can also be plugged into and fixed to the left or right side of the mounting base 100.

[0074] When the shower head 200 is fixed to the mounting base 100, it can be fixed to the front side of the mounting base 100, or to the left or right side of the mounting base 100 as needed. That is, the mounting base 100 can fix the shower head 200 through the first magnetic component 2 and the first fastening component 3, or fix the shower head 200 by inserting the plug part 15, so that the shower head 200 can have different heights to meet the usage needs of people of different heights.

[0075] This application provides a shower head 200, such as... Figures 1-12 As shown, it includes: a shower head body 7, a second magnetic component 8, and a second fastening component 9, both of which are installed on the shower head body 7.

[0076] The shower head 200 can be used in conjunction with the mounting base 100 provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein the second magnetic element 8 of the shower head 200 is configured to be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element 2 of the mounting base 100, and the second fastening element 9 of the shower head 200 is configured to be fastened to the first fastening element 3 of the mounting base 100.

[0077] The first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 8 can both be magnets, or one of the first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 8 can be a magnet, and the other of the first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 8 can be made of a soft magnetic material, such as iron or other materials that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the shower head body 7 includes a nozzle 71 and a grip 72 connected to each other. The second fastening member 9 is disposed on the side of the nozzle 71 opposite to the water outlet side. The second fastening member 9 includes a fastening groove 91, which is located on the side of the second magnetic member 8 away from the grip 72. The fastening groove 91 is configured to fasten with the fastening protrusion of the first fastening member 3.

[0079] In the shower body 7, the grip 72 is connected to the lower side of the nozzle 71. The nozzle 71 may have a water outlet on the front side. The second fastening member 9 is opposite to the water outlet side (i.e., the front side) and may be located on the rear side of the nozzle 72. The second fastening member 9 includes a fastening groove 91, and the fastening groove 91 is located on the side of the second magnetic member 8 away from the grip 72, that is, the fastening groove 91 may be located on the lower side of the second magnetic member 8. When the shower head 200 is installed to the mounting base 100, the shower head 200 may be installed to the mounting base 100 from front to back. The second magnetic member 8 may be magnetically fixed with the first magnetic member 2. The fastening groove 91 on the rear side of the shower body 7 may be fastened with the fastening part 33 of the protruding cover 12 of the mounting base 100 to achieve the fastening and fixing of the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0080] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the engaging groove 91 is provided with a second guide slope, so that the overall cross-section of the engaging groove 91 can be a wedge-shaped groove with a large opening. This second guide slope of the engaging groove 91 can guide the engaging part 33 of the mounting base 100 when it engages with the engaging groove 91, so that the engaging part 33 engages with the engaging groove 91, and the second engaging member 9 can be smoothly connected to the mounting base 100. It should be understood that, in order to guide the engagement and facilitate the engagement of the engaging part 33 with the engaging groove 91, a first guide slope can be provided on the engaging part 33, and a second guide slope can be provided on the engaging groove 91; or only the first guide slope can be provided on the engaging part 33; or only the second guide slope can be provided on the engaging groove 91.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the second magnetic component 8 is cylindrical, and the engaging groove 91 is a third arc groove. The central axis of the third arc groove (the axis passing through the center of the third arc groove) 9-I is parallel to the center line 81 of the second magnetic component (see [reference]). Figure 2 (overlapping.) For example... Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​groove 91 is configured to allow the snap-fit ​​protrusion (snap-fit ​​part 33) of the mounting base 100 to slide, so as to adjust the position of the shower head relative to the mounting base 100.

[0082] The second magnetic component 8 is cylindrical. A matching groove 91 is configured as a third arc groove, with its central axis 9-I coinciding with the central line 81 of the second magnetic component. Thus, when the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component 2 and the second magnetic component 8 magnetically attracts and fixes the shower head 200 to the mounting base 100. This also causes the central axis 6 of the cylindrical first magnetic component 2 to coincide with the central line 81 of the cylindrical second magnetic component 8. Consequently, the central axes 6-I of the first arc groove (first slot 121), 6-III of the second arc groove (second slot 122), 6-II of the arc-shaped protrusion (fastening part 33), and 9-I of the third arc groove of the mounting base 100 all coincide. Therefore, when the shower head 200 is installed on the mounting base 100, if the shower head 200 is not placed on the mounting base... Figure 13 Instead of the vertical position shown in (b), it is placed as... Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 In the tilted state shown in (c), the shower head 200 can rotate relative to the mounting base 100 under its own weight. The pushing protrusion 92 of the shower head 200 can slide within the first slot 121 of the mounting base 100, and the arc-shaped protrusion (fastening part 33) of the mounting base 100 can slide within the fastening groove 91, allowing the shower head 200 to rotate relative to the mounting base 100. Figure 13 (a) or Figure 13 (c) The tilted state shown in the figure automatically returns to the original state. Figure 13 (b) shows the vertical position, which allows the shower head to automatically return to its upright position even when tilted at 200 degrees.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, the installation base 100 and the shower head 200 do not require the shower head 200 to be installed vertically when it is installed on the installation base 100. Even if the shower head 200 is placed at an angle, it can automatically return to its upright position, which improves the convenience of installing the shower head 200 on the installation base 100.

[0084] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4-5 and Figure 11 As shown, the second fastening member 9 also includes a pushing protrusion 92, which is located on the side of the second magnetic member 8 near the gripping part 72, and the pushing protrusion 92 is configured to push the driving part 32 of the first fastening member 3 to rotate the first fastening member 3.

[0085] The second fastening member 9 includes a pushing protrusion 92, which can protrude toward the rear side of the shower head 200. The pushing protrusion 92 can be located on the side of the second magnetic member 8 near the grip 72, that is, the pushing protrusion 92 can be located on the lower side of the second magnetic member 8, so that the pushing protrusion 92 located on the lower side can cooperate with the first slot 121 and the drive part 32 located on the lower side of the mounting base 100, so that the pushing protrusion 92 passes through the first slot 121 and pushes the drive part 32, causing the first fastening member 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the switching of the first fastening member 3 from the released state to the fastened state.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pushing protrusion 92 includes a second wall surface 921 away from the engaging groove 91, and the side of the second wall surface 921 near the protruding end of the pushing protrusion 92 is inclined toward the side away from the engaging groove 91.

[0087] The pushing protrusion 92 includes a second wall surface 921, which is located away from the engaging groove 91, meaning the second wall surface 921 can be the lower wall surface of the pushing protrusion 92. The side of the second wall surface 921 closest to the protruding end of the pushing protrusion 92 is inclined towards the side away from the engaging groove 91, meaning the rear side of the second wall surface 921 can be inclined downwards. This second wall surface 921 can cooperate with the inclined first wall surface 1211 of the first slot 121 to prevent the pushing protrusion 92 from automatically disengaging from the first slot 121. This helps ensure that the first engaging member 3 remains engaged under the action of the pushing protrusion 92, enhancing the connection stability between the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0088] In some exemplary embodiments, the diameters of the cylindrical first magnetic element 2 and the second magnetic element 8 are equal.

[0089] It should be noted that the first fastening element 3, the first slot 121, and the second slot 122 can also be provided in the shower head 200; the second fastening element 9 (including the fastening groove 91 and the pushing protrusion 92) can also be provided in the mounting base 100. That is, one of the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100 is provided with the first fastening element 3, the first slot 121, the second slot 122, etc., and the other of the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100 is provided with the second fastening element 9.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, a second mounting groove is formed between the second fastening member 9 and the shower head body 7, and the second magnetic member 8 can be installed in the second mounting groove. The second mounting groove can be a cylindrical groove and can be integrally formed on the second fastening member 9. Alternatively, the second mounting groove can also be provided on the shower head body 7.

[0091] This application provides a shower head assembly, such as... Figures 1-13As shown, the device includes the mounting base 100 provided in any of the above embodiments and the shower head 200 provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein the shower head 200 is configured to be installed on the mounting base 100.

[0092] The shower assembly described in this application includes the mounting base 100 and shower head 200 of the above embodiments, and therefore includes the structural features and advantages of the mounting base 100 and shower head 200 of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] In summary, the shower head assembly of this application embodiment has the first fastening member 3 and the first magnetic member 2 disposed on the mounting base 100, and the second fastening member 9 disposed on the shower head 200, realizing a combination of magnetic attraction and fastening fixation between the shower head 200 and the mounting base 100. The mounting base 100 has a simple structure, beautiful appearance, and is easy to process and manufacture, avoiding the problem of setting a large protrusion in the central area of ​​the front end face of the mounting base, which would result in an unsimplistic and unattractive appearance. In addition, the structural arrangement of the mounting base 100 and the shower head 200 in this application embodiment can also realize the automatic return of the shower head 200 after it is tilted, making the use and operation of the shower head 200 more convenient.
