Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shower bodies, in particular to a shower body with a replaceable shell. Background Art

[0002] The shell and the internal water circuit of a traditional shower body are usually made integrally, or the shell of the shower body is usually of an integral structure. After the design of a product is finalized, a set of molds (injection or casting molds) is required to process the shell or the whole shower body. If the appearance of the shower body needs to be changed, a new set of molds needs to be redesigned and processed, and the cost of reprocessing a new set of molds is relatively high. As a result, the appearance of the shower bodies designed by production enterprises is relatively few, which is not convenient for providing more choices for consumers and is not conducive to improving the competitiveness of shower body products.

[0003] What consumers mainly observe during use is the front side of the shower body, and generally do not pay attention to the rear side of the shower body. If the shell of the shower body can be designed as a spliced structure and the front shell of the shower body can be made into a replaceable structure, it is convenient to design more shower body shapes with different front appearances for consumers to choose. With the above structure, during production and manufacturing, since the front shell part is much smaller than the whole shell of the shower body, the cost of processing several more front shells is also less than the cost of replacing the mold of the whole shower body shell, which is beneficial for production enterprises to design more shower body shapes and make the shower bodies more diverse. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shower body with a replaceable shell.
