Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to an external conversion joint and a shower. Background Art

[0002] Shower controllers are all equipped with upper water outlet connectors for connecting to shower rods. At present, there are two types of showers on the market, one is to install the shower rod against the wall, and the other is to install the shower rod with a distance from the wall. The two installation methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own preferences. However, the shower controller structures corresponding to these two shower rod installation methods are different, especially the setting distance between the top water outlet connector and the wall is different. For this reason, manufacturers and sellers must arrange a certain amount of inventory for both types of shower controllers. It can be seen that the existing shower rod installation method brings repeated work and inevitable design costs to the design and mold opening of the shower controller. In addition, it also brings considerable inventory pressure to manufacturers and sellers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The water inlet joint and the water outlet joint are respectively arranged at two ends of the connection seat, and the water inlet joint faces downward, and the water outlet joint faces upward. A communication channel is arranged inside the connection seat, and the water inlet joint and the water outlet joint are communicated through the communication channel.

[0006] The external adapter provided by the utility model can adjust the water outlet position of the shower controller so that the docked shower rod can be installed against the wall or installed with a distance from the wall, thereby unifying the shower controllers corresponding to the two shower rod installation structures, avoiding the need for redesign and development of the shower controller and reducing the inventory pressure of manufacturers and sellers.

[0007] Preferably, the water inlet of the water inlet connector is provided with a docking thread around the water inlet, and can be assembled with the water outlet of the shower controller by means of a threaded docking method, with high firmness and strong sealing performance.

[0008] Preferably, a support ring is provided at the end of the butt thread, and a sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the support ring to further improve the sealing effect.

[0009] Preferably, an annular groove is provided on the periphery of the water outlet joint, and a sealing ring is sleeved in the annular groove, which can improve the sealing between the adapter and the shower rod.

[0010] Preferably, there are at least two groups of annular grooves and sealing rings.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the docking seat is flush, so that the bottom surface can completely abut against the top surface of the shower controller.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting seat is flat as a whole, which can avoid forming a high protrusion on the top surface of the shower controller.

[0013] Preferably, the chamfered or rounded corner structure design of the top surface of the connecting seat not only has a good visual effect, but also is not easy to leave marks due to bumps.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom width of the connecting seat is greater than the diameter of the water inlet connector, so that the opening at the top of the shower controller can be completely covered to prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the shower controller.

[0015] In a second aspect, a shower is provided, comprising a shower controller, a shower rod, and the external conversion joint described in the first aspect. A water outlet joint is provided on the top of the shower controller, and the shower rod is connected to the water outlet joint of the shower controller via the external conversion joint. After installation, the shower rod is installed against the wall or spaced from the wall.

[0016] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The external adapter provided by the utility model can adjust the water outlet position of the shower controller so that the docked shower rod can be installed against the wall or installed at a distance from the wall, thereby unifying the shower controllers corresponding to the two shower rod installation structures, avoiding the need for redesigning and developing the shower controller, and reducing the inventory pressure of manufacturers and sellers;

[0018] The connecting seat is flat as a whole, which can avoid forming a high protrusion on the top surface of the shower controller, thereby improving the overall coordination of the external conversion connector and the shower controller. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
