Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to a built-in adapter and a shower. Background Art

[0002] A shower seat is generally equipped with a shower rod. At present, there are two types of shower rods on the market. One is a square tube that can be installed close to the wall to form a seamless installation method, and the other is installed at intervals from the wall. For the above two installation structures, consumers generally prefer the first one, mainly because it has a better visual effect when seamlessly installed with the wall. However, the shower seat of this type of shower rod is installed on one side, and compared with the wrap-around shower seat of the second shower rod structure, the strength may be slightly lower. In addition, different consumers have different aesthetics, and the sales volume of the second shower rod structure is also not small. For this reason, both manufacturers and sellers will reserve inventory of the above two structures of shower rods and their matching shower seats. The distance between the water outlet of the shower seat of the above two shower rods and the wall is different, that is, the shower seats of the above two shower rods cannot be used interchangeably, which not only results in high development and preparation costs of the shower seat, but also causes manufacturers and sellers to keep inventory of both types of shower seats, bringing considerable inventory pressure. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a conversion joint structure which can improve the matching degree of a shower seat.

[0004] In a first aspect, a built-in adapter is provided, which is cylindrical in shape and includes a first butt end and a second butt end connected to each other. The first butt end includes a water inlet circular hole, which is eccentrically arranged in the first butt end, and the central axis of the water inlet circular hole is staggered with the central axis of the built-in adapter.

[0005] The built-in adapter provided by the utility model is applied to some shower seats whose water outlet joints are too close to the installation wall, or to shower seats whose shower pipes are originally installed against the wall. The water outlet joints of these shower seats can be adjusted outward, so that the shower seat can be matched with shower pipes of other pipe diameters or installed at intervals from the wall. When the shower pipe and its installation method are replaced, the existing shower seat can still be used, thereby reducing the cost of redesigning and developing the shower seat and reducing the inventory pressure caused by multiple shower seats.

[0006] Preferably, a support ring or gasket extending outward is circumferentially provided at the end of the first docking end, and when the built-in adapter is installed on the shower seat, the support ring is supported on the top surface of the shower seat to prevent the built-in adapter from sinking into the opening at the top of the shower seat. Alternatively, the gasket can support the bottom end of the shower rod installed on the top of it to prevent the bottom end of the shower pipe from forming a hard contact with the top surface of the shower seat, thereby preventing the top surface of the shower seat from being scratched or the glass shell from being broken.

[0007] Preferably, the outer diameter of the support ring or gasket is equal to the outer diameter of the shower rod, so as to reduce protruding parts and marks.

[0008] Preferably, an annular groove is provided at the periphery of the top end of the adapter, and a sealing ring is sleeved in the annular groove, which can improve the sealing between the adapter and the shower pipe.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple groups of annular grooves and sealing rings, which provide stronger sealing performance.

[0010] Preferably, a pin hole is provided on a thicker side of the wall surface of the first butt end, and during installation, the built-in adapter and the water outlet connector of the shower seat can be fixed by a pin.

[0011] Preferably, the outside of the thicker side of the wall of the first butt end is hollowed out, and reinforcing ribs are provided in the hollowing out, so as to ensure the strength of the built-in adapter while reducing the weight of the entire built-in adapter.

[0012] Preferably, the internal connecting parts of the first butt end and the second butt end are connected by arc-shaped transition connection.

[0013] In a second aspect, a shower is provided, comprising a shower control seat, a shower rod, and the built-in adapter described in the first aspect, wherein the top of the shower control seat is provided with a water outlet joint extending upward at a position close to the wall. The bottom of the shower rod is connected to the water outlet joint of the shower control seat through the built-in adapter, so that the adapter can be installed without interference with the wall or at a distance.

[0014] Preferably, the water outlet connector is inserted into the built-in adapter, and the built-in adapter is then inserted into the bottom end of the shower rod, and there is a gap between the shower rod and the wall. Alternatively, the shower rod is a square shower rod, the bottom end of which directly connects to the water outlet connector, and there is no gap between the square shower rod and the wall. It can be seen that no matter whether it is a square shower pipe installed in close contact with the wall or a shower rod installed with a gap from the wall, they can match the same shower seat, reducing the development cost of the shower seat and the inventory pressure caused by multiple shower seats.

[0015] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The built-in adapter provided by the utility model is applied to some shower seats whose water outlet joints are too close to the installation wall, or to shower seats whose shower pipes are originally installed against the wall. The water outlet joints of these shower seats can be adjusted outward, so that the shower seat can match some other pipe diameters or shower pipes installed at intervals from the wall. When the shower pipe and its installation method are replaced, the existing shower seat can still be used, thereby reducing the cost of redesigning and developing the shower seat and reducing the inventory pressure caused by multiple shower seats.

[0017] The integrated support ring and gasket can prevent the built-in adapter from sinking into the opening at the top of the shower seat, and can also prevent the bottom of the shower pipe from forming a hard contact with the top surface of the shower seat, thereby preventing the top surface of the shower seat from being scratched or the glass shell from being broken;
