[0035] Preferably, the storage space is arranged below the valve body, and at least one control valve 27 is also arranged on the valve body. The water inlet end of the water pipe is fixedly connected to the valve body at the valve core, ensuring that both ends of the water pipe are fixedly connected to the corresponding parts.

[0036] In one embodiment of the utility model, a movable rod 60 is further included, and the top shower can be connected to the movable rod, and the movable rod can move up and down relative to the fixed rod. A straight arm 61 is provided on the movable rod, one end of the straight arm is connected to the movable rod, and the other end of the straight arm is connected to the top shower. The water pipe can be arranged in the straight arm, and the water outlet end of the water pipe can be fixedly connected to the top shower. A socket 62 is also provided on the movable rod, and a hand-held showerhead 63 is provided on the socket, and the hand-held showerhead can be connected to the water outlet end of the control valve. A coil spring 70 is also included on the socket, and the free end 71 of the coil spring is connected to the fixed rod.

[0037] Furthermore, the water pipe includes a hose part 231, one end of which is connected to the water outlet end of the valve core, and the other end of the hose part can move on the fixed rod. In other words, the water pipe that can be in the main body is a hose. More specifically, the hose part can cooperate with the connecting piece (or the second arc-shaped guide surface and / or the connecting hole), so that it can be bent and deformed and stored in the storage space.

[0038] More specifically, the utility model is as follows: the fixed rod and the body are fixed relative to the wall; the movable rod can be infinitely adjusted in height on the fixed rod, and can be suspended arbitrarily between the highest point and the lowest point; the straight arm is fixed on the movable rod, and the top spray can be movably connected to the upper straight arm, such as by a ball head; the socket is fixed on the movable rod, and in other embodiments, it can also be fixed (or movably connected) on the fixed rod or other positions on the wall. A valve body is arranged in the body, and the valve body has a water inlet end and a water outlet end, which can control the flow of water to different outlets, including at least one outlet for flowing to the top spray; optionally, there can also be a hand-held shower outlet and a lower water outlet, etc.; the water pipe can be composed of multiple parts, mainly a hose, which is arranged to move with the movable rod: one end of the water pipe is connected to the valve body, and the other end is connected to the top spray. The body is also provided with a storage space, which may be in a ring shape, and the water pipe can be partially accommodated in the storage space in a spirally wound manner; there is a spiral central cavity in the storage space, and the movement of the water pipe will not affect the area, and the lower water outlet and the hand shower outlet can be arranged in the spiral central cavity, and the spiral central cavity 28 is located between the guide groove and the guide plate, and is adjacent to the guide groove. It also includes a fixing plate 29, which is used to fix the various parts of the valve body and separate the contact between the valve body and the water hose, and the fixing plate is located between the valve body and the storage space; the connecting piece is used to connect and fix the fixing rod.

[0039] When the shower head moves in the height direction, the water pipe will be driven and move in the storage space inside the main body. When the shower head is at the lowest point relative to the fixed rod ( Figure 5 ), the water pipe in the storage space is the longest, on the contrary, at the highest point ( Figure 7) The length of the accommodation is the minimum. Because the water pipe is movable, it ensures that the top shower can flow water at different heights.

[0040] The center of the constant force coil spring is set in the shower socket, and the free end of the coil spring is fixed to the fixed rod. This placement can keep the entire shower system slim. Of course, it can also be placed on the top of the fixed rod or other positions. The constant force coil spring is used to offset the gravity of the movable rod and the components that move with it.

[0041] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the utility model concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field. The changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and should be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
