Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a shower head slide and a shower unit having the shower head slide. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, showerheads with a riser bar (or shower rod) typically have a sliding base on the riser bar that can slide up and down. The sliding base has a socket for inserting a handheld shower head, allowing the installation height of the handheld shower head to be adjusted by sliding the sliding base to accommodate users of different heights. In most existing technologies, the sliding base is fitted over the riser bar, and a clamping block on the sliding base moves inward to clamp the riser bar or moves outward to disengage it, thus achieving height adjustment. However, some riser bars are limited by their installation location and cannot accommodate the sliding base, such as when the rear side of the riser bar is installed against a wall. Therefore, it is necessary to design a shower head sliding base that can be installed on the side of the riser bar. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shower head slide and a shower with the shower head slide, which can be installed on the side of the shower rod and has a simple structure and reliable function.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A shower head slide for slidingly mounting on a shower rod rail, comprising:

[0006] Slide body;

[0007] The socket body is fixedly connected to the slide body and is provided with a socket for inserting a shower head;

[0008] A switch assembly is movably mounted on the slide body;

[0009] A clamping block is slidably disposed on the slide body between a clamping position and a releasing position. The clamping block has a clamping portion that protrudes from the slide body. In the clamping position, the clamping portion is close to the outer side wall of the slide body to clamp the slide rail of the shower rod; in the releasing position, the clamping portion is far from the outer side wall of the slide body to release the slide rail of the shower rod.

[0010] The slider is slidably disposed in the slide body. The slider is in transmission cooperation with the switch assembly and the inclined surface of the clamping block. The switch assembly drives the clamping block to move between the clamping position and the releasing position through the slider.

[0011] In some preferred embodiments, the slider is provided with a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, the switch assembly is provided with a third inclined surface that drives and cooperates with the first inclined surface, and the clamping block is provided with a fourth inclined surface that drives and cooperates with the second inclined surface.

[0012] In some preferred embodiments, the clamping block is further provided with a fifth inclined surface, and the slide body is provided with a sixth inclined surface that drivesly engages with the fifth inclined surface. The clamping block slides in the extension direction of the slide rail under the action of the second inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface, and slides in the extension direction perpendicular to the slide rail under the action of the fifth inclined surface and the sixth inclined surface.

[0013] In some preferred embodiments, the slide body includes a housing extending along the front-rear direction of the shower rod, with an opening formed on the rear side of the housing. The slide body also includes a rear cover that covers the opening, a clamping block seat, and a limiting block disposed within the housing. The clamping block seat is used to slidably mount the clamping block. The side of the clamping block seat near the opening has a through clearance groove. The limiting block passes through the clearance groove, and one end of the limiting block extending into the clamping block seat has an inclined rib. The side wall of the clamping block has a second inclined groove corresponding to the clearance groove. The inclined rib guides and cooperates with the second inclined groove. The inner side wall of the second inclined groove forms the fifth inclined surface, and the outer side wall of the inclined rib forms the sixth inclined surface.

[0014] In some preferred embodiments, the slider is further provided with a first inclined groove, the switch assembly is provided with a protrusion embedded in the first inclined groove, the inner sidewall of the first inclined groove is provided with a guide inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface, and the switch assembly also pushes the slider to slide through the protrusion and the guide inclined surface.

[0015] In some preferred embodiments, the switch assembly includes a button and a button base that are fixedly connected. The button base is slidably disposed in a button cavity provided in the slide body. The slide body has a connecting channel extending outward from the side opposite to the clamping part, with both ends of the connecting channel having an opening that communicates with the button cavity and allows the button base to be inserted to guide the sliding of the button base. The other end of the connecting channel is fixedly connected to the socket body by a screw inserted into the connecting channel.

[0016] In some preferred embodiments, the button cavity is provided with a guide groove for the button seat to slide, and a retaining groove is recessed on the side wall of the guide groove. A C-shaped retaining ring is engaged with the retaining groove to limit the button seat in the button cavity.

[0017] In some preferred embodiments, the switch assembly includes a button and a button base that are fixedly connected. The slide body has a button cavity and a clamping block cavity. The button base is slidably disposed in the button cavity, and the clamping block is slidably disposed in the clamping block cavity. A connecting hole is provided between the button cavity and the clamping block cavity, and the slider passes through the connecting hole.

[0018] In some preferred embodiments, the button and the clamp are located on the side of the slide body near the shower rod, the socket body is fixed on the side of the slide body away from the shower rod, and a soft rubber pad is provided on the outer side wall of the slide body at the part that cooperates with the clamping part for clamping.

[0019] In some preferred embodiments, a reset elastic element is further included for resetting the clamping block, slider, and switch assembly, wherein the clamping block moves from the release position to the clamping position under the action of the reset elastic element.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also provides a shower device including a shower rod with a slide rail disposed on one side of the shower rod, and further including a shower head slide as described in any of the above claims.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments, the shower rod has a square cross-section and includes a front, a back, and two sides connecting the front and back. The slide rail includes a groove formed on the side. The edge of the front has a first limiting edge bent towards the back, and the edge of the back has a second limiting edge bent towards the front. The first and second limiting edges form the sidewalls of the groove. The clamping block of the shower head slide is inserted into the groove through an opening at the top or bottom of the groove and is limited in the groove by the first and second limiting edges. Each side of the clamping block has a clamping part. When the clamping block is in the clamping position, the two clamping parts clamp the first and second limiting edges respectively.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] This invention features a clamping block and a slider on the slide body. The clamping block can slide between a clamping position and a release position. The clamping block has a clamping portion protruding from the slide body. In the clamping position, the clamping portion is close to the outer wall of the slide body to clamp the shower rod's slide rail. In the release position, the clamping portion is away from the outer wall of the slide body to release the shower rod's slide rail. The slider engages with a switch assembly and the inclined surface of the clamping block. The switch assembly drives the clamping block to move between the clamping and release positions via the slider. Thus, by simply placing the slide rail on one side of the shower rod, the clamping block can directly clamp the slide rail, eliminating the need for the entire slide body to be fitted outside the shower rod. The shower rod can be installed against a wall as needed. The overall structure of the shower slide body is very simple, and the function of adjusting the shower slide body is highly reliable.

[0063] To make the technical problems, solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0064] In the discussion below, details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In certain examples, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail to avoid confusion with the invention. It should be noted that the terms “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0065] The ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" used in this invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" does not imply the existence of "second component," and the term "second component" does not imply the existence of "first component."

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 26 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a shower head slide for slidingly mounting on a slide rail 101 of a shower rod 1 (see...). Figure 26 The shower head slide includes a slide body 10, a socket body 20, a switch assembly 30, a clamping block 40, and a slider 50. The socket body 20 is fixedly connected to the slide body 10 by screws 60 (described below) and has a socket 21 for inserting a shower head (handheld shower head). The switch assembly 30 is movably mounted on the slide body 10. The clamping block 40 is slidably disposed on the slide body 10 between a clamping position and a releasing position. The clamping block 40 has a clamping portion 41 protruding from the slide body 10, forming a clamping groove A between the clamping portion 41 and the outer side wall of the slide body 10 (see...). Figure 14 , Figure 21 When in the clamping position, the clamping part 41 approaches the outer wall of the slide body 10 (i.e., reduces the distance of the clamping groove A) to clamp the slide rail 101 of the shower rod 1, thereby fixing the shower slide to the shower rod 1; when in the releasing position, the clamping part 41 moves away from the outer wall of the slide body 10 (i.e., increases the distance of the clamping groove A) to release the slide rail 101 of the shower rod 1, thereby allowing the shower slide to slide on the shower rod 1; the slider 50 is slidably disposed inside the slide body 10, and the slider is respectively engaged with the inclined surface of the switch assembly 30 and the clamping block 40. The switch assembly 30 drives the clamping block 40 to move between the clamping position and the releasing position through the slider 50. In this way, as long as the slide rail 101 is set on one side of the shower rod 1, the slide rail 101 can be clamped directly by the clamping block 40. Therefore, it is not necessary to completely cover the shower rod as in the prior art. The shower rod can be installed against the wall as needed. The structure of the entire shower rod is very simple, and the function of adjusting the shower rod is very reliable.

[0067] See Figures 2-5In this embodiment, the slider 50 is provided with a first inclined surface 51 and a second inclined surface 52, the switch assembly 30 is provided with a third inclined surface 321 that is in transmission cooperation with the first inclined surface 51, and the clamping block 40 is provided with a fourth inclined surface 42 that is in transmission cooperation with the second inclined surface 52. The sequential transmission of the switch assembly 30, the slider 50, and the clamping block 40 is achieved through the inclined surface structure, which is simple in structure and reliable in transmission.

[0068] In this embodiment, the clamping block 40 is further provided with a fifth inclined surface 43, and the slide body 10 is provided with a sixth inclined surface 141 that is in transmission cooperation with the fifth inclined surface 43. Under the action of the second inclined surface 52 and the fourth inclined surface 42, the clamping block 40 slides in the extension direction of the slide rail 101. Under the action of the fifth inclined surface 43 and the sixth inclined surface 141, the clamping block 40 slides in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rail 101. That is to say, when the clamping block 40 moves between the clamping position and the release position, the clamping block 40 will simultaneously have displacement relative to the slide rail 101 in both the extension direction and the vertical direction. For example, when the slide rail 101 is arranged vertically, when the clamping block 40 moves between the clamping position and the release position, the clamping block 40 will have displacement relative to the slide rail 101 in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The advantages of this design are twofold. First, the sliding stroke of the clamping block 40 in the extension direction of the slide rail 101 can be designed to be greater than the sliding stroke of the clamping block 40 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rail 101. For example, the sliding stroke of the clamping block 40 in the extension direction of the slide rail 101 can be designed to be 6mm, while the sliding stroke of the clamping block 40 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rail 101 can be designed to be 2mm, thereby enabling the clamping block 40 to be driven with less effort. Second, it is beneficial to the layout of the first elastic member 81 described below, and the elastic force of the first elastic member 81 does not need to be too large to provide sufficient force to the clamping block 40.

[0069] In this embodiment, the slide body 10 includes a housing 11, which extends along the front-rear direction of the shower rod 1. An opening 111 is formed on the rear side of the housing 11. See the orientation diagram. Figure 1 and Figure 26 As shown. The slide body 10 also includes a rear cover 12 that covers the opening 111, and a clamping block seat 13 and a limiting block 14 disposed within the outer shell 11. The clamping block seat 13 is used to slide the clamping block 40. The side of the clamping block seat 13 near the opening 111 is provided with a through clearance groove 131. The limiting block 14 passes through the clearance groove 131, and one end of the limiting block 14 extending into the clamping block seat 13 is provided with a diagonal rib 142. The side wall of the clamping block 40 is provided with a second diagonal groove 44 corresponding to the clearance groove 131. The diagonal rib 142 guides and cooperates with the second diagonal groove 44. The inner side wall of the second diagonal groove 44 forms the fifth inclined surface 43, and the outer side wall of the diagonal rib 142 forms the sixth inclined surface 141. This design results in a simple and compact structure, easier assembly, and the outer shell 11 can be designed as a single piece, resulting in better strength.

[0070] In this embodiment, the slider 50 is further provided with a first inclined groove 53, and the switch assembly 30 is provided with a protrusion 322 embedded in the first inclined groove 53. The inner sidewall of the first inclined groove 53 is provided with a guide inclined surface 531 parallel to the first inclined surface 51. The switch assembly 30 also pushes the slider 50 to slide through the cooperation of the protrusion 322 and the guide inclined surface 531. That is, in this embodiment, the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the slider 50 and the switch assembly 30 includes the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the guide inclined surface 531 and the protrusion 322, and the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the first inclined surface 51 and the third inclined surface 321. It can be understood that the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the slider 50 and the switch assembly 30 can be achieved only through the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the guide inclined surface 531 and the protrusion 322, or only through the inclined surface transmission cooperation between the first inclined surface 51 and the third inclined surface 321.

[0071] In this embodiment, the switch assembly 30 includes a button 31 and a button base 32 fixedly connected. Specifically, the button 31 and the button base 32 are connected by a thread. The housing 11 has a button cavity 112 and a clamping block cavity 114. The button base 32 is slidably disposed in the button cavity 112, and the clamping block 40 is slidably disposed in the clamping block cavity 114. A connecting hole 115 is provided between the button cavity 112 and the clamping block cavity 114. The slider 50 passes through the connecting hole 115, with one end engaging with the button base 32 and the other end engaging with the clamping block 40. This design also facilitates the integral fabrication of the housing 11, eliminating the need for the slide body 10 to be manufactured in two separate parts, thus improving the strength of the slide body 10 itself.

[0072] In this embodiment, the slide body 10 has a connecting channel 113 extending outward from the side opposite to the clamping part 41, with both ends passing through it. One end of the connecting channel 113 is open and connected to the button cavity 112, allowing the guide post on the button seat 32 to be inserted to guide the sliding of the button seat 32. The other end is open and fixedly connected to the socket body 20 by a screw 60 inserted into the connecting channel 113. With this design, the connecting channel 113 can both guide the button seat 32 and cooperate with the screw 60, achieving two goals at once and simplifying the structure.

[0073] In this embodiment, the button cavity 112 is provided with a guide groove 1121 for the button base 32 to slide. A retaining groove 1122 is recessed on the side wall of the guide groove. A C-shaped retaining ring 90 is engaged with the retaining groove 1122 to limit the button base 32 in the button cavity 112. Using a C-shaped retaining ring 90 to slidably limit the button base 32 in the button cavity 112 results in a simple structure and easier assembly.

[0074] In this embodiment, button 31 and clamping block 40 are located on the side of slide body 10 near shower rod 1, and socket body 20 is fixed on the side of slide body 10 away from shower rod 1. A soft rubber pad 70 is provided on the outer wall of slide body 10 where it engages with clamping part 41 for clamping. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 The outer wall of the shower body 10 is provided with a recessed groove, and a soft rubber pad 70 is embedded in the recessed groove, with a portion extending out of the groove to contact the shower rod 1. The soft rubber pad 70 increases the friction between the shower body and the shower rod, thereby making the shower body more stable in the adjusted position.

[0075] In this embodiment, a reset elastic element is also included for resetting the clamping block 40, the slider 50, and the switch assembly 30. Specifically, the reset elastic element includes a first elastic element 81 and a second elastic element 82, both of which are compression springs. The clamping block 40 is provided with a spring mounting hole 45 for mounting the first elastic element 81 (see...). Figure 11 Under the action of the first elastic member 81, the clamping block 40 moves from the released position to the clamping position, and under the action of the second elastic member 82, the switch assembly 30 is reset from the pressed position to the initial unpressed position. The slider 50 can be reset by being pushed back by the clamping block 40, or it can be reset by being pulled back by the switch assembly 30 through the cooperation of the protrusion 322 and the first inclined groove 53. Of course, in this embodiment, only the first elastic member 81 can be provided, without the second elastic member 82, and the switch assembly 30 can still be reset under the action of the first elastic member 81. Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the reset elastic element may not be provided (neither the first elastic element 81 nor the second elastic element 82 is provided), and the slider 50 and the clamping block 40 may be directly driven to reset by the switch assembly 30. For example, the switch assembly 30 may be configured to include a knob (not shown). When the knob is turned to the left, the clamping block 40 is moved from the clamping position to the release position. When the knob is turned to the right, the clamping block 40 is moved from the release position to the clamping position. This is also feasible, but it is less convenient to use. The switch assembly 30 needs to be driven to clamp again to fix the shower head slide. It does not have the effect of automatic clamping by the elastic reset element when the switch assembly 30 is released, as described in the above embodiment.

[0076] The assembly process in this embodiment is briefly described as follows:

[0077] During assembly, firstly, the slider 50 is inserted into the housing 11 through the rear opening 111, and the slider 50 passes through the connecting hole 115. The front end of the slider 50 is located in the button cavity 112, and the rear end of the slider 50 is located in the clamping block cavity 114. Next, the clamping block seat 13 is inserted into the clamping block cavity 114 of the housing 11 through the opening 111. Then, the clamping block 40, which is equipped with the first elastic element 81, is inserted into the housing 11 through the opening on the side wall of the housing 11 near the shower rod 1 and installed in the clamping block seat 13. Subsequently, the limiting block 14 is passed through the relief groove 131 on the clamping block seat 13 so that the inclined rib 142 is inserted into the second inclined groove 44 of the clamping block 40. Then, the rear cover 12 is used to seal the opening 111. Finally, the second elastic element 82 is fitted onto the button seat. Outside the guide post of button 32, the button seat 32, equipped with the second elastic element 82, is installed into the button cavity 112, so that the button seat 32 mates with the guide groove 1121 in the button cavity 112. The guide post of the button seat 32 is inserted into one end of the connecting channel 113, and the second elastic element 82 abuts against the inner wall of the button seat 32 and the button cavity 112. Then, the C-shaped retaining ring 90 is inserted into the retaining groove 1122. The C-shaped retaining ring 90 limits the button seat 32 to prevent it from coming out of the button cavity 112. Then, the button 31 is threadedly connected to the button seat 32. Finally, the screw 60 is passed through the socket body 20 and screwed into the other end of the connecting channel 113 to thread it into the inner wall of the connecting channel 113, thereby fixing the socket body 20 to the slide body 10. This completes the assembly process of the shower slide body.

[0078] The working process and principle of this embodiment are briefly described as follows:

[0079] See Figures 12 to 18 At this time, the button 31 is in the initial state of not being pressed. The button 31 and the button seat 32 are in the unpressed state under the elastic force of the second elastic member 82. The clamping block 40 is in the clamping position under the elastic force of the first elastic member 81. The clamping part 41 on the clamping block 40 is close to the outer wall of the slide body 10 to clamp the slide rail 101 of the shower rod 1, so that the shower slide can be fixed on the shower rod 1.

[0080] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the shower head slide on shower rod 1, see Figures 19 to 25When button 31 is pressed, it moves button base 32. Under the interaction of the third inclined surface 321 on button base 32 and the first inclined surface 51 on slider 50, and the interaction of the protrusion 322 on button base 32 and the guide inclined surface 531 on slider 50, button base 32 moves slider 50. Slider 50, in turn, is driven by the interaction of the second inclined surface 52 on slider 50 and the fourth inclined surface 42 on clamping block 40, moving clamping block 40 from the clamping position to the release position. In the release position, clamping part 41 moves away from the outer wall of slide body 10 to release the slide rail 101 of shower rod 1, allowing the shower head slide to slide to the desired position on shower rod 1. After adjusting to the desired position, simply release button 31 to return to the desired position. Figures 12 to 18 The initial state is shown.

[0081] In addition, see Figure 26 The present invention also provides a shower, including a shower rod 1 with a slide rail 101, the slide rail 101 being disposed on one side of the shower rod 1, and a shower head slide as described above.

[0082] In this embodiment, the shower rod 1 has a square cross-section. The shower rod 1 includes a front 102, a back 103, and two side surfaces 104 connecting the front 102 and the back 103.
