[0049] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be elaborated in detail through specific embodiments below.
[0050] Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention discloses a rotating shaft structure of a shower arm, including a housing 1 and a bushing 2;
[0051] On both sides of the housing 1, a first rod 11 and an opening 12 are respectively arranged; a hollow rotating shaft 31 is arranged inside the housing 1. The rotating shaft 31 is communicated with the first rod 11, and an annular water - passing groove 311 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31. A plurality of water - passing holes 312 communicating with the inside of the rotating shaft 31 are arranged at the bottom of the water - passing groove 311;
[0052] The bushing 2 is movably and sealingly sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31, and a second rod 21 communicated with the water - passing groove 311 is arranged on one side thereof; the second rod 21 passes through the opening 12 of the housing 1;
[0053] The axis a of the first rod 11 and the axis b of the second rod 21 are both perpendicular to the axis c of the rotating shaft 31, and the feet of perpendiculars of the axis a of the first rod 11 and the axis b of the second rod 21 on the axis c of the rotating shaft 31 are the same point o.
[0054] With the above solution, the waterway at the position of the shower arm rotating shaft of the present utility model is composed of the first rod 11 - the rotating shaft 31 - the water passing hole 312 - the water passing groove 311 - the second rod 21, realizing the connection between the first rod 11 and the second rod 21. And the waterway of the rotating shaft 31 is connected from the inside of the rotating shaft 31 to the water passing groove 311 on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31. When the shaft sleeve 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 31 to any angle, the rotating shaft 31 can be connected to the second rod 21 through its water passing groove 311. There are no other parts or structures inside the rotating shaft 31, and the water flow is not blocked. The flow rate of the shower arm depends on the number and aperture of the water passing holes 312, which is easy to design and not affected by other factors. Compared with the structure of the prior art, it can achieve a larger and more stable flow rate, and the water quality will not be affected. When the shaft sleeve 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 31, the second rod 21 changes its angle relative to the first rod 11, and the second rod 21 and the first rod 11 are always in the same plane, with more stable force. At the same time, the second rod 21 can also rotate to a state coaxial with the first rod 11, making the shower arm form a straight line, which is more neat and beautiful in appearance and meets the requirements of industrial design. In addition, the size of the opening 12 determines the swing range of the second rod 21.
[0055] The following shows specific embodiments of the present utility model.
[0056] The above rotating shaft 31 can be directly integrally formed in the housing 1 and connected to the first rod 11 through the waterway in the housing 1. However, considering the risk that the waterway with multiple turns may cause difficulties in demolding and cost increase, the present utility model provides a rotating shaft seat 3, a connecting piece 4 and a bottom cover 5 in the housing 1. The surface of the rotating shaft seat 3 facing the inside of the housing 1 is provided with the above rotating shaft 31 and a connecting shaft 32 parallel to the rotating shaft 31. And the surface of the rotating shaft seat 3 facing away from the inside of the housing 1 is provided with a communicating groove 33, and both ends of the communicating groove 33 are respectively communicated with the rotating shaft 31 and the connecting shaft 32. The connecting piece 4 is statically sealed and inserted at the end of the first rod 11, and the connecting shaft 32 is statically sealed and inserted at the side of the connecting piece 4. The bottom cover 5 is statically sealed and covered on the periphery of the communicating groove 33. Thus, the bottom cover 5 and the communicating groove 33 enclose a closed waterway between the connecting shaft 32 and the rotating shaft 31, and the first rod 11 is connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the connecting piece 4, the connecting shaft 32 and the communicating groove 33. During production, the rotating shaft seat 3, the connecting piece 4 and the bottom cover 5 can all be independently produced and demolded. And because the connecting shaft 32 is parallel to the rotating shaft 31, they can be demolded in the same direction, realizing the reduction of demolding difficulty. In addition, since the connecting piece 4 is inserted into the first rod 11, the connecting shaft 32 is inserted into the connecting piece 4, the shaft sleeve 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 31 and the second rod 21 is limited by the opening 12 to prevent the shaft sleeve 2 from moving axially on the rotating shaft 31.
[0057] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 6 is provided between the connecting shaft 32 and the adapter 4; a second sealing ring 7 is provided between the adapter 4 and the first rod member 11, both of which are to improve the sealing performance and prevent water leakage.
[0058] Meanwhile, the bottom cover 5 and the rotating shaft seat 3 are assembled and connected into a whole by means of welding, glue bonding, etc. to ensure the sealing performance. The preferred method is ultrasonic welding. A step portion 331 for the bottom cover 5 to fit is provided on the periphery of the communication groove 33, and a flange 332 for welding is provided on the step portion 331.
[0059] Secondly, in order to make the structure of the product more stable and prevent the rotating shaft seat 3 from shaking under water pressure, a partition plate 13 is provided in the housing 1. A nut 8 is embedded at the end of the rotating shaft 31. A screw 9 passes through the partition plate 13 and is threadedly connected to the nut 8 to lock the rotating shaft 31 on the partition plate 13, thereby fixing the rotating shaft seat 3. At the same time, a slider 43 and a slider slot 131 are provided between the adapter 4 and the partition plate 13 to realize the installation limit of the adapter 4. The slider slot 131 has a flared opening for the slider 43 to pass through and a constricted opening for preventing the slider 43 from disengaging from the slider slot 131. After the slider 43 is inserted into the slider slot 131 through the flared opening, it moves towards the constricted opening direction until the end of the adapter 4 is inserted into the first rod member 11. A buckle 44 and a buckle slot 34 are provided between the adapter 4 and the rotating shaft seat 3 to realize the reinforcement after connection.
[0060] In addition, the housing 1 is fitted with a decorative cover 10 for covering components such as the rotating shaft seat 3, the adapter 4, and the bottom cover 5 to achieve a neat appearance.
[0061] The rotating shaft 31 is provided with annular mounting grooves 313 on both axial sides of the water passing groove 311. Third sealing rings 20 are provided in both mounting grooves 313. The third sealing rings 20 are tightly fitted between the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31 and the inner wall of the shaft sleeve 2 to achieve the effect of dynamic sealing.
[0062] In order to lock the rotation of the shaft sleeve 2 on the rotating shaft 31 and keep the included angle between the second rod member 21 and the first rod member 11 unchanged after the shower arm adjusts the angle, the present utility model further designs a locking mechanism, which includes a locking member 30, an elastic member 40, a limiting member 50 and an operating member 60; a first concave-convex portion 22 is provided on the circumferential surface of the shaft sleeve 2; the locking member 30 is slidably fitted in the housing 1 along the radial direction of the shaft sleeve 2 and is provided with a second concave-convex portion 301 that matches the first concave-convex portion 22; the elastic member 40 is arranged in the housing 1 and acts on the locking member 30 to enable the second concave-convex portion 301 to engage with the first concave-convex portion 22 to lock the shaft sleeve 2; the limiting member 50 is movably fitted on the sliding path of the locking member 30 to prevent the locking member 30 from separating from the shaft sleeve 2; the operating member 60 is exposed outside the housing 1 and is linked with the limiting member 50 for driving the limiting member 50 to disengage from or enter the sliding path of the locking member 30. Thus, when the limiting member 50 is on the sliding path of the locking member 30, it abuts against the end of the locking member 30, and when the shaft sleeve 2 rotates, it cannot push the locking member 30 to compress the elastic member 40 through the first concave-convex portion 22 and the second concave-convex portion 301, so the shaft sleeve 2 cannot rotate; when the user drives the limiting member 50 through the operating member 60, the limiting member 50 disengages from the sliding path of the locking member 30 and no longer blocks the end of the locking member 30. When the shaft sleeve 2 rotates, it can push the locking member 30 to compress the elastic member 40 through the first concave-convex portion 22 and the second concave-convex portion 301, so the shaft sleeve 2 can rotate freely to adjust the relative angle between the second rod member 21 and the first rod member 11; at the same time, due to the elastic force of the elastic member 40, the limiting member 30 can maintain the locked state of the shaft sleeve 2. When the shaft sleeve 2 rotates, it will be subject to resistance from the limiting member 30 and will not shake or change the angle due to the gravity of the first rod member 11 or the second rod member 21 when the user does not apply force.
[0063] In some embodiments of the above locking mechanism, the first concave-convex portion 22 is a number of straight teeth with first inclined surfaces 221 on both sides, and the second concave-convex portion 301 is a number of straight teeth with second inclined surfaces 3011 on both sides. By designing the first inclined surface 221 and the second inclined surface 3011, the circumferential torque when the shaft sleeve 2 rotates can be more converted into the radial thrust for pushing the locking member 30 to slide, so as to push the locking member 30 more smoothly when the limiting member 50 does not block the locking member 30. It can be understood that the number of straight teeth of the first concave-convex portion 22 is reasonably designed according to the rotation range of the shaft sleeve 2 required by the product, and the number of straight teeth of the second concave-convex portion 301 is set to 3 to 5 to meet the requirements.
[0064] In some embodiments of the locking mechanism, a corresponding slide groove may be designed in the housing 1 to cooperate with the locking member 30 and guide the locking member 30. In this embodiment, a slide groove 41 for sliding cooperation with the locking member 30 is specifically provided on the peripheral surface of the adapter 4, and the slide groove 41 is parallel to the first rod 11. At the same time, a partition 13 is also provided in the housing 1, so that a channel for sliding cooperation with the locking member 30 is formed between the slide groove 41 and the partition 13 to guide the locking member 30; in addition, a guide groove 42 for active cooperation with the limiting member 50 may be provided at the end of the slide groove 41 to guide the movement of the limiting member 50.
[0065] In some embodiments of the locking mechanism, the elastic member 40 is a spring; one end of the locking member 30 is provided with an axial groove 302 for the elastic member 40 to be embedded.
[0066] Furthermore, the above-mentioned limiting member 50 is provided with a giving way opening 501 for giving way to the elastic member 40 to avoid the position and state of the moving elastic member 40 when the limiting member 50 moves, and giving way steps 502 are provided on both sides of the giving way opening 501; when the limiting member 50 is in the sliding path of the locking member 30, the giving way step 502 is misaligned with the locking member 30, the limiting surface 503 of the limiting member 50 is opposite to the locking member 30, and the locking member 30 cannot slide; on the contrary, when the limiting member 50 is out of the sliding path of the locking member 30, the limiting surface 503 is misaligned with the locking member 30, the giving way step 502 is opposite to the locking member 30, and the locking member 30 can slide to embed into the giving way step 502 and compress the elastic member 40 at the same time.
[0067] In some embodiments of the locking mechanism, the operating member 60 is a button with two ends swingingly engaged on the housing 1, and one end of the operating member 60 is movably connected to the limiting member 50; the limiting member 50 is provided with a hook 504 hooked on the inner wall of the operating member 60. When the user presses the operating member 60 away from one end of the limiting member 50, the limiting member 50 at the other end can be driven to break away from the sliding path of the locking member 30 by the swing of the operating member 60, thereby unlocking the rotation of the shaft sleeve 2; when the user presses the operating member 60 close to one end of the limiting member 50, the limiting member 50 can be simultaneously pressed back to the sliding path of the locking member 30, thereby locking the shaft sleeve 2. Since the operating member 60 is press-driven and the shower arm usually extends in the up and down directions, the position of the limit member 50 can be maintained after the user presses it, and the limit member 50 will not reset automatically, so that the user only needs to press the operating member 60 once to arbitrarily adjust the relative angle between the second rod 21 and the first rod 11, and press the operating member 60 again after the adjustment is completed to drive the limit member 50 to reset. There is no need to press the operating member 60 for a long time, and the operation is more convenient and quick, which is especially suitable for shower arms with longer first rod 11 and second rod 21.
[0068] Furthermore, a latch 70 for the operating member 60 to swing with is disposed in the housing 1 .
[0069] Secondly, the utility model further includes a latch seat 80 installed in the housing 1. The latch seat 80 is provided with a claw 801 for embedding the latch 70. The latch seat 80 can be fixed in the housing 1 by means of screw locking, such as fixed on the above-mentioned partition 13, and locked with the rotating shaft 31 by the same screw 9. The screw 9 sequentially passes through the latch seat 80 and the partition 13 and is threadedly connected to the nut 8 on the rotating shaft 31. Only one screw 9 can be used to fix two components in the housing 1, and the installation is simpler.
[0070] The installation steps of some structures of the utility model are as follows: After installing the locking member 30 and the elastic member 40 into the adapter 4, the whole is installed into the housing 1, and the whole is relatively fixed to the housing 1 through the sliding engagement of the slider 43 and the slider slot 131; then the bushing 2 is installed at the opening 12, and then the rotating shaft seat 3 is installed into the housing 1 to assemble it with the adapter 4 and the bushing 2, and the rotating shaft seat 3 is locked with screws; then the limiting member 50 is passed through the partition 13 to cooperate with the locking member 30; finally, the decorative cover 10 is ultrasonically welded to the housing 1.
[0071] The main improvement of the utility model lies in the rotating shaft structure between the first rod 11 and the second rod 21. In actual products, this rotating shaft structure can have various applications:
[0072] See Figure 6 , the first rods 11 and 11' of the two housings 1 and 1' can be connected into one rod, thereby forming a support arm with housings 1 at both ends; see Figure 7 , the first rod 11 and the second rod 21 of the housing 1 and the bushing 2 can be connected into one rod, thereby forming a support arm with a housing 1 and a bushing 2 at both ends respectively; see Figure 8 , the second rod 21 of the bushing 2 can be integrated with the joint 90 with an external thread for connecting the shower head, or the second rod 21 of the shaft head 2 can be integrated with the joint with an internal thread for connecting the water supply end. The above parts, combined with other parts of the rotating shaft structure disclosed in the utility model, can be combined to form a two-section or even more-section shower support arm to meet the needs of different scenarios and be more flexible to use.
[0073] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art shall be regarded as not departing from the patent scope of the utility model.
