The main body is also provided with a socket 16 for plugging in a shower head, and the socket can rotate relative to the main body, specifically through a positioning bracket 17, and the outer periphery of the positioning bracket and the inner periphery of the socket are provided with matching connecting teeth, and the specific reference is made to the drawings of the specification.

[0039] More specifically, the present invention is divided into a pressing component, a flip cover component, and a shower socket component. The sliding seat can be easily installed and removed by flipping and opening the flip cover component. The sliding seat can be adjusted up and down by the pressing component. The shower socket component is used to place a shower. Among them: the pressing component has an anti-skid pad. When the button is released, the anti-skid pad cooperates with the second body to clamp the connecting rod. When the button is pressed, the anti-skid pad retracts to release the connecting rod. At this time, the sliding seat can move up and down relative to the axis of the connecting rod. The pressing component has a movable bracket and a fixed seat. The movable bracket and the fixed seat have corresponding guide blocks and guide grooves. When the button is pressed, the anti-skid pad moves along the guide groove on the fixed seat with the movable bracket, and the movement mode is a little angle relative to the axis of the connecting rod. The pressing component has a reset spring. When the button is released, the movable bracket will slide upward and reset under the action of the spring, so that the anti-skid pad fits tightly with the surface of the connecting rod again. There are corresponding bosses on the button and the mobile bracket. When the button is pressed, the second boss on the button will apply a downward force to the first boss on the mobile bracket, so that the mobile bracket moves downward along the guide groove on the fixed seat. When installing, open the second body relative to the first body, put the connecting rod into the sliding seat, and then close the second body with the first body. When flipped into place, the card block automatically snaps into the card slot to complete the installation. When the sliding seat needs to be removed, just pull open the connecting piece and detach the card block from the card slot. The socket of the shower head can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and the shower head can be placed on the shower head socket and rotated to adjust the angle as needed.
