[0002] At present, ordinary shower equipment generally includes a mechanical water valve, a water pipe and a shower head. It does not have a shell that contains the water valve and the water pipe, and usually does not have the functions of remote control, water temperature display and water temperature adjustment of the Internet of Things. The shower screen is a relatively special shower that can achieve the above functions. It usually includes a shell, a water pipe, a switch metering component and a control component. The shell encapsulates the water pipe and the switch metering component, and the shell also has a control component installation position. At present, the shell of the shower screen is made of metal and is usually assembled into a whole by two upper and lower half shells. Its disadvantages are: the processing and manufacturing cost and material cost of using a metal shell are both high, and the metal shell also needs to be considered for rust prevention; the metal shell has a large deadweight, which is inconvenient to transport and install; the metal shell usually has a fixing part specially used to fix the switch metering component, and it is generally fixed directly by the traditional method of screwing. The switch metering component needs to be provided with a fixing hole that matches the screw hole on the fixing part. The overall structure is not simple enough and it is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. Utility Model Content

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the utility model provides a plastic shell of a shower, which includes a plastic shell 1, wherein the plastic shell 1 is composed of a curved portion 2 located at the top and a vertical portion 3 located at the bottom, a first mounting port 4 for mounting a control component is provided at the upper front side of the vertical portion 3, a plurality of clamping grooves 5 for clamping the control component are provided on the inner side around the first mounting port 4, and rearwardly extending limit plates 6 are respectively provided at the top and bottom sides of the first mounting port 4 in the vertical portion 3, a rear end of the limit plate 6 is provided with a rearwardly opening limit groove 7, a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe of a connecting switch metering component are respectively clamped in the limit groove 7, and a limit pressing plate 8 for clamping the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe is detachably connected to the opening of the limit groove 7.

[0031] It should be noted that the control component is a common component of shower screen products, including display screens and control circuit boards, etc., which will not be elaborated here; the switch metering component is also a common component in shower screen products, and its main function is to realize the electric opening and closing of water valves (mainly hot water valves) and the metering of water consumption. The control component is fixed with a card connector that matches the card slot. The card connector is generally a plastic card hook with a certain degree of elasticity. After the card hook is inserted into the card slot, it is inserted into the groove body on the flange of the first installation port. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The slot and the slot body on the rear flange of the first mounting port are shown in FIG. The limit pressure plate is fixed to the rear end surface of the limit plate by screws, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the limiting pressure plate is connected to the rear end of the limiting plate, which is essentially equivalent to sealing the limiting groove, pressing the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe (preferably a metal bellows) to prevent displacement.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of second installation openings 9 for installing a manual valve and / or a lower water outlet faucet assembly are provided at the lower front side of the vertical portion 3 .

[0033] It is understandable that the manual valve is used to select one of the top spray shower, the side spray shower or the bottom faucet assembly to supply water when in use. When there is only a top spray shower, the manual valve controls whether to supply cold water to the top spray shower.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the vertical portion 3 is provided with a third installation opening and a fourth installation opening for the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe to enter, respectively. Figure 3 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the third and fourth mounting openings are provided at the bottom of the shell.

[0035] It is understandable that the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe do not have to enter the shell from the bottom of the vertical part. If necessary, the third and fourth installation ports can be opened on the left and right sides of the vertical part or at appropriate positions of the curved part to allow the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe to enter the shell.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, a fifth installation opening for the side spray shower outlet pipe to enter is provided at the upper left or right side of the vertical portion 3 .

[0037] It should be noted that the fifth installation opening does not have to be arranged on the left or right side, and may also be arranged at the bottom of the vertical portion or the top of the curved portion when necessary.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sixth installation opening for installing a top spray shower is provided at the top forwardly extending end of the curved portion 2 .

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of connecting posts 10 for connecting hanging parts are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the vertical portion 3 and the curved portion 2 .

[0040] It should be noted that if Figure 3 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the connecting posts generally appear in pairs and are connected by a cross-shaped plastic reinforcement.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, a fixing groove 11 for installing a permanent magnet block is provided in the vertical portion 3 at the left side and / or right side of the first installation opening 4 .

[0042] It should be noted that the function of the permanent magnet block is to cooperate with the Hall sensor on the control component. When the control component is removed from the first installation port, the Hall sensor is taken away from the first installation port along with the control component, and therefore moves away from the permanent magnet block. The magnetic signal changes significantly, and the Hall sensor sends an alarm signal to the control component, indicating that the control component has been removed.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical portion and the curved portion are integrally formed by injection molding, extrusion molding or 3D printing, and after molding, the vertical portion and the curved portion are assembled into the plastic shell by snap-fitting and fixing.

[0044] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the vertical portion and the curved portion are processed independently and then assembled together. If one of the components is damaged, only the damaged component can be replaced without replacing the entire plastic shell.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the plastic housing 1 is integrally formed by injection molding, extrusion molding or 3D printing.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the plastic shell is a workpiece and cannot be disassembled. If any of the vertical portion and the curved portion is damaged, the entire shell needs to be replaced.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, a reserved notch 12 is provided on the front side of the vertical portion at the lower side of the first mounting opening for facilitating prying the control assembly from the first mounting opening to disengage the card slot.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the reserved notch is a wedge-shaped notch that is tilted downward, with the notch facing downward and the bottom of the notch not connected to the inside of the housing. When a screwdriver is inserted into the reserved notch and pried, it can generate a forward force on the control component, so that the hook of the control component is disengaged from the slot on the plastic housing, and then the control component is removed. The notch of the reserved notch is tilted downward, which can prevent water from accumulating in the notch when taking a shower.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
