DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a bracket for facilitating adjustment of the shower angle provided in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of assembling a bracket for facilitating adjustment of the shower angle provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket for adjusting the angle of the shower head includes a mounting module 100, a supporting module 200 and a knob adjustment module 300. The three main modules are explained in detail below.

[0032] Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of an installation module 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the main body of the mounting module 100 is a flat plate 110, one end of which is provided with a connecting seat 120 for movably connecting with the supporting module 200, and the other end is provided with a storage hook 130. The flat plate 110 is provided with a mounting portion 140 for fixing the bracket on the wall.

[0034] The connection seat 120 is a first clamping plate 121 and a second clamping plate 122 folded upward along the flat plate 110. The first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122 are perpendicular to the main board and are arranged in parallel. The first clamping plate 121, the second clamping plate 122 and the flat plate 110 constitute a receiving cavity for installing the support module 200. A first connection shaft installation hole 123 is respectively provided on the first clamping plate 121 and the second clamping plate 122.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first clamping plate 121, the second clamping plate 122 and the flat plate 110 are an integrated structure, which is made by stamping or bending the plate. Of course, the connection seat of the present application is not limited to this, and a relatively independent connection seat can also be set, and then fixedly connected to the flat plate by bolts, welding, etc. Moreover, the specific shape of the connection seat is not limited to the illustrated style, as long as it can be hinged with the support module.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting module 100 is also designed with a storage hook 130 for placing bathroom supplies such as soap boxes and bath towels, thereby increasing the practicality of the shower stand. Specifically, there are two storage hooks 130, which are arranged side by side, and a notch 131 for accommodating the shower water pipe is provided between the two storage hooks 130, which is convenient for wiring and makes the combination of the shower and the stand more neat in appearance.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 140 includes two runway-shaped mounting holes, namely a first fixing hole 141 arranged horizontally and a second fixing hole 142 arranged longitudinally. This double fixing hole structure with long axes perpendicular to each other facilitates adjustment of the installation position and installation angle of the mounting module 100 on the wall.

[0038] Of course, this is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and the specific structure of the mounting portion of the present application is not limited thereto, and a suction cup, an adhesive mechanism, a magnetic structure, or a combination of these fixing structures may also be used.

[0039] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a support module 200 provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the support module 200 includes a support portion 210 for placing a shower head and a connecting plate 220. The support portion 210 is a C-shaped tube, and the top of the C-shaped tube is chamfered to better support the handle base of the shower head.

[0041] The connecting plate 220 is a plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the C-shaped tube, and the other end of which is provided with an arc structure 221 that cooperates with the connection.

[0042] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a knob adjustment module 300 provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0043] See also Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The knob adjustment module 300 includes a first knob 310, a second knob 320, a connecting shaft 330, a first friction plate 340 and a second friction plate 350. The connecting plate 220 is placed in the accommodating cavity of the connecting seat 120, the first friction plate 340 is placed between the first clamping plate 121 and the connecting plate 220, the second friction plate 350 is placed between the connecting plate 220 and the second clamping plate 122, and the connecting shaft 330 passes through the first connecting shaft mounting hole 123 on the connecting seat 120 and the second connecting shaft mounting hole on the connecting plate 220.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pressure applied to the friction plate is directly provided by the knob. Specifically, the knob includes a first knob 310 and a second knob 320, the friction plate includes a first friction plate 340 and a second friction plate 350, the connecting seat 120 includes a first clamping plate 121 and a second clamping plate 122; the connecting shaft 330 passes through the first clamping plate 121, the first friction plate 340, the connecting plate 220, the second friction plate 350 and the second clamping plate 122 in sequence; the first knob 310 is fixed to the first end of the connecting shaft 330 by a threaded structure, and is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion of the first knob 310 passes through the connecting seat 120 and abuts against the first friction plate 340; the second knob 320 is fixed to the second end of the connecting shaft 330 by a threaded structure, and is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion of the second knob 320 passes through the connecting seat 120 and abuts against the second friction plate 350.

[0045] Of course, this is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and the structure for providing pressure on the friction plate is not limited to this, and can also be other structures, for example: the knob includes a third knob and a fourth knob, the friction plate includes a third friction plate and a fourth friction plate, and the connecting seat includes a third clamping plate and a fourth clamping plate; the connecting shaft passes through the third clamping plate, the third friction plate, the connecting plate, the fourth friction plate and the fourth clamping plate in sequence; the third knob is fixed to the first end of the connecting shaft through a threaded structure and abuts against the outside of the third clamping plate; the fourth knob is fixed to the second end of the connecting shaft through a threaded structure and abuts against the outside of the fourth clamping plate. The connecting seat formed by the third clamping plate and the fourth clamping plate is squeezed by the third knob and the fourth knob, so that the connecting seat and the connecting plate clamp the friction plate, and the clamping force can be conveniently adjusted by manually operating the third knob and the fourth knob, thereby changing the friction between the friction plate and the connecting seat.

[0046] Regardless of the structure that provides pressure to the friction plate, the friction force can be adjusted to the appropriate size by operating the knob:

[0047] On the one hand, the friction is small enough so that the user can move the shower head to drive the support module 200, or directly move the support module 200 to adjust the angle of the shower head; on the other hand, the friction is large enough to resist the shower head and gravity, thereby keeping the shower head at this angle for user convenience.

[0048] What is particularly important is that as the usage time increases, the friction plate may wear and the connecting seat 120 may also deform. It is only necessary to operate the knob to further increase the clamping force of the connecting seat 120 and the connecting plate 220 on the friction plate, so the service life is longer.

[0049] In this embodiment, the knob adjustment module 300 is provided with two knobs, which are respectively located on both sides of the connection seat 120. The user can operate the knobs separately or simultaneously from two angles, which is more convenient and labor-saving. Of course, this is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and the structure of the knob and the connecting shaft of the knob adjustment module of the present application is not limited to this. For example:

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, the connecting shaft includes a shaft body and a baffle, the first end of the shaft body is fixedly connected to the baffle, and the second end of the shaft body passes through the connecting seat and the connecting plate and is connected to the knob; the knob and the baffle are respectively against the two sides of the connecting seat. Compared with the illustrated embodiment, this embodiment is only provided with a knob, and a baffle is provided at one end of the connecting shaft, and the connecting seat is clamped by the knob and the baffle.

[0051] In this embodiment, when adjusting the shower angle, the connecting plate 220 rotates around the connecting shaft 330. The connecting plate 220 in this embodiment is provided with an arc structure 221. Specifically, the shape of the arc structure 221 is preferably semicircular. A second connecting shaft mounting hole is provided at the center of the semicircular structure.

[0052] There are a plurality of second connecting shaft mounting holes, and the connecting shaft 330 can be selectively installed in any second connecting shaft mounting hole; when installed in different second connecting shaft mounting holes, the inclination angle of the shower head is different.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three second connecting shaft mounting holes, namely an upper second connecting shaft mounting hole 222, a middle second connecting shaft mounting hole 223 and a lower second connecting shaft mounting hole 224, and the three second connecting shaft mounting holes are distributed in a triangle.

[0054] When the connecting shaft 330 is installed in the upper second connecting shaft mounting hole 222, the shower head on the support module 200 is relatively tilted downward; when the connecting shaft 330 is installed in the middle second connecting shaft mounting hole 223, the shower head on the support module 200 remains relatively horizontal; when the connecting shaft 330 is installed in the middle and lower second connecting shaft mounting hole 224, the shower head on the support module 200 is relatively tilted upward.

[0055] Figure 6 A schematic structural diagram of a friction plate provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing structure of the first friction plate 340 and the second friction plate 350 is designed to match the three second connecting shaft mounting holes. Specifically:

[0057] A first main fixed shaft 341 and a first auxiliary fixed shaft 342 are provided on the first friction plate 340, and a second main fixed shaft (not shown) and a second auxiliary fixed shaft (not shown) are provided on the second friction plate 350; the first main fixed shaft 341 and the second main fixed shaft (not shown) are respectively fixed on both sides of the middle second connecting shaft mounting hole 223, the first auxiliary fixed shaft 342 is fixed on the upper second connecting shaft mounting hole 222, and the second auxiliary fixed shaft (not shown) is fixed on the lower second connecting shaft mounting hole 224.

[0058] The cooperation between the fixing shaft and the second connecting shaft mounting hole can effectively prevent the friction plate and the connecting plate 220 from rotating relative to each other. The symmetrical arrangement of the first auxiliary fixing shaft 342 and the second auxiliary fixing shaft (not shown) makes the installation more stable.

[0059] The connecting shaft 330 can selectively pass through the first main fixing shaft 341 and the second main fixing shaft (not shown), the first auxiliary fixing shaft 342 , and the second auxiliary fixing shaft (not shown).

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
