[0024] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Some directional terms used hereinafter to describe the drawings, such as "inside", "outside", "above", "below" and other directional terms, will be understood to have their normal meanings and refer to those directions involved when normally viewing the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the directional terms described in this specification are basically in the conventional directions understood by those skilled in the art.

[0026] The terms "first", "the first", "second", "the second" and their similar terms used in the present invention do not represent any order, quantity or importance in the present invention, but are used to distinguish one component from other components.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1 - 5, An adjustable shower arm set, the shower arm set includes a fixed pipe seat 1, a movable pipe seat 2, a head shower 3 and an adjustment mechanism 4. The head shower 3 has a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here. The fixed seat pipe includes a water inlet pipe 11 for connecting to an external water source and a receiving pipe seat 12 extending a certain distance in the height direction. The water inlet pipe 11 communicates with the receiving pipe seat 12. One end of the water inlet pipe 11 is connected to a wall seat on the wall, and the other end communicates with the receiving pipe seat 12. The receiving pipe seat 12 has a tubular structure with a through middle. The lower end of the receiving pipe seat 12 can be connected to a handheld shower through a hose and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The movable pipe seat 2 includes a sliding section 21 and a connecting section 22 extending in sequence. The sliding section 21 extends a certain distance in the height direction. The connecting section 22 connects the sliding section 21 and the head shower 3 respectively. The movable pipe seat 2 further includes an extended water passage 23. The water inlet 231 of the water passage 23 is located on the sliding section 21. The water passage 23 communicates with the head shower 3. The sliding section 21 extends into and slides along the height direction within the receiving pipe seat 12. When the sliding section 21 slides to drive the head shower 3 to adjust the height, the adjustment mechanism 4 adjustably fixes the sliding section 21.

[0029] When the height of the head shower 3 needs to be adjusted in the shower arm set, the fixing of the sliding section 21 can be released through the adjustment mechanism 4. The user directly adjusts the height of the head shower 3 by pulling up the sliding section 21. After adjusting to the desired height, the sliding section 21 is fixed again through the adjustment structure. At this time, the sliding section 21 and the receiving pipe seat 12 are kept fixed. Water flows from the water inlet pipe 11 into the receiving pipe body, enters the water passage 23 through the water inlet 231 of the water passage 23 located on the sliding section 21, and finally flows out through the head shower 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the end of the sliding section 21 defines the water inlet 231 of the water passage 23. The water inlet pipe 11 is located at the upper end of the receiving pipe seat 12. When the sliding section 21 slides within the receiving pipe seat 12, a water passage gap 14 is defined between the sliding section 21 and the receiving pipe seat 12. Water flows in from the water inlet pipe 11 and flows in from the water passage gap 14, flows into the water passage 23 from the end of the sliding section 21, and finally flows out through the head shower 3.

[0031] The fixed pipe seat 1 further includes a tee pipe 13. The tee pipe 13 includes a first channel 131 extending along the height direction. The tee pipe 13 further includes a second channel 132 extending laterally, and the second channel 132 communicates with the first channel 131. The upper end of the receiving pipe seat 12 is connected to the lower section 1311 of the first channel 131, and the water inlet pipe 11 is connected to the second channel 132 and communicates with the receiving pipe seat 12 through the lower section 1311 of the first channel 131. The sliding section 21 passes through the first channel 131 to slide within the receiving pipe seat 12. A space 133 is formed between the upper section 1312 of the first channel 131 and the sliding pipe. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes a clamping portion 41 located within the space 133 and a pressing portion 42 connected to the tee pipe 13. The pressing portion 42 can adjustably press the clamping portion 41 so that the clamping portion 41 clamps to fix the sliding section 21. The clamping portion 41 is arranged around the sliding section 21, and the clamping portion 41 is pressed to be able to radially inwardly clamp the sliding section 21. The upper end of the clamping portion 41 includes a first pressing inclined surface 411 that is interlocked with the pressing portion 42, and the lower end of the clamping portion 41 includes a second pressing inclined surface 412 that is interlocked with the first channel 131. The pressing portion 42 includes a control inclined surface 421 that abuts against the first pressing inclined surface 411. When the pressing portion 42 presses the clamping portion 41, the first pressing inclined surface 411 and the second pressing inclined surface 412 are subjected to a radially inward force so that the clamping portion 41 radially inwardly clamps the sliding section 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pressing portion 42 is threadedly connected to the tee pipe 13. The pressing portion 42 makes the control inclined surface 421 abut against the first pressing inclined surface 411 by rotating and pressing down. The downward pressing of the control inclined surface 421 will drive the clamping portion 41 to move downward until the second pressing inclined surface 412 abuts against a third pressing inclined surface 1313 on the inner wall of the first channel 131. Both the upper and lower ends of the clamping portion 41 are guided by the inclined surfaces to radially inwardly clamp the sliding section 21. The pressing portion 42 and the first channel 131 exert corresponding normal forces on the clamping portion 41. Therefore, relative static state will be maintained between the sliding section 21 and the tee pipe 13.

[0033] The shower arm group further includes a sealing ring 5. The sealing ring 5 is sealingly connected to the first channel 131 and the sliding section 21. The sealing ring 5 is located at the connection between the upper section 1312 and the lower section 1311 of the first channel 131. The sealing ring 5 can prevent water flow from flowing from the lower section 1311 of the first channel 131 into the upper section 1312 of the first channel 131.

[0034] During installation, one end of the water inlet pipe 11 is connected to the wall surface, and the other end of the water inlet is connected to the tee 13. The lower end of the receiving pipe seat 12 is fixed to the wall surface by components such as a fixing seat. The upper end of the receiving pipe seat 12 is connected to the lower section 1311 of the first passage 131 of the tee 13. The sliding section 21 passes through the first passage 131 from top to bottom so that its end extends into the receiving pipe seat 12. The clamping portion 41 is placed into the space 133, and the pressing portion 42 is screwed to the tee 13 to adjustably press against the clamping portion 41. When adjustment is needed, simply rotating the pressing portion 42 can release the fixation between the clamping portion 41 and the sliding section 21. The user can directly adjust the height by pulling up the movable pipe seat 2. After adjusting to the desired height, the pressing portion 42 can be rotated in the reverse direction to fix the clamping portion 41 and the sliding section 21, which is convenient for adjustment.

[0035] As mentioned above, the above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention who makes non-substantive modifications to the present invention using this concept shall fall within the scope of infringement of the protection of the present invention.
