[0028] The water pipes of the shower equipment in the prior art are divided into an upper pipe connected to the shower head and a lower pipe connected to the main body. The upper pipe and the lower pipe are generally fixed to the wall after being connected by welding, resulting in low installation efficiency and being unable to be disassembled, replaced, or maintained.

[0029] For this reason, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a water pipe connector 300 proposed in the first aspect of the present utility model, includes a mounting base 100, a fixing plate 200, and a connector 300. The mounting base 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110 for passing through a mounting fastener 111 to be fixedly installed on the wall. The mounting base 100 has a groove-like structure with an opening on one side. The fixing plate 200 is used to be embedded in the mounting base 100 to close the opening. The fixing plate 200 is provided with two through first fixing holes 210 for passing through fixing fasteners 211. Both ends of the connector 300 are provided with connection ports 301 to respectively connect two water pipes. An overwater flow channel is arranged inside the connector 300, and the overwater flow channel communicates with the two connection ports 301 respectively to communicate the two water pipes. Two second fixing holes 310 are arranged on the side wall of the connector 300, and the fixing fasteners 211 are inserted into the second fixing holes 310 to fixedly connect the fixing plate 200 and the connector 300. It can be understood that the user fixes the mounting base 100 on the wall, then docks the water pipes with the connector 300 respectively, fixes the connector 300 to the fixing plate 200, and then combines and installs the fixing plate 200 and the mounting base 100 to complete the connection and installation of the water pipes. It should be noted that the mounting base 100 can be stably installed on the wall by passing the mounting fastener 111 through the mounting hole 110 without additional support structures or complex installation tools. At the same time, the fixation between the connector 300 and the fixing plate 200 is achieved through the fixing fasteners 211, and the overall installation process is efficient and fast, saving installation time. On the other hand, the connection between the connector 300, the fixing plate 200, and the mounting base 100 through fasteners makes the disassembly and assembly process very simple. When maintenance or replacement of the water pipes is required, only the corresponding fasteners need to be removed to easily separate each part, greatly reducing the complexity and difficulty of maintenance work. It is convenient to regularly inspect and maintain the water pipe connection, reducing the risk of water leakage caused by aging or damage of the connector 300. At the same time, the convenient disassembly and assembly design also makes it easy to replace damaged parts, extending the overall service life.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and 2 , it can be understood that a positioning side plate 220 is arranged on the side of the fixing plate 200 facing the mounting base 100, and the positioning side plate 220 is used for positioning and embedding in the mounting base 100. By arranging the positioning side plate 220 on the side of the fixing plate 200 facing the mounting base 100, the fixing plate 200 can be automatically aligned and embedded in the mounting base 100 during the installation process without additional position adjustment, thus simplifying the installation steps and improving the installation efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, the tight fit between the positioning side plate 220 and the mounting base 100 also enhances the connection stability and reduces the risk of water leakage caused by improper installation.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2, Further, a limiting convex plate 120 is provided inside the mounting base 100, and the limiting convex plate 120 just abuts against the outer wall of the positioning side plate 220. The limiting convex plate 120 provided inside the mounting base 100 can precisely abut against the outer wall of the positioning side plate 220, providing additional support and limitation for the fixing plate 200. This design not only enhances the connection strength between the fixing plate 200 and the mounting base 100, but also prevents the fixing plate 200 from moving or tilting during the installation process, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 , it should be noted that a through limiting hole 130 is provided on the side wall of the mounting base 100, and the position of the limiting hole 130 corresponds to that of the limiting convex plate 120. A limiting nail is inserted through the limiting hole 130, and the limiting nail can pass through the limiting hole 130 to abut against the outer wall of the positioning side plate 220. By providing the limiting hole 130 on the side wall of the mounting base 100 and inserting the limiting nail, the connection between the fixing plate 200 and the mounting base 100 can be further strengthened. After passing through the limiting hole 130, the limiting nail abuts against the outer wall of the positioning side plate 220, forming a multi-point fixing structure, effectively preventing the fixing plate 200 from loosening or falling off. This reinforcement measure improves the stability and safety of the entire connecting member 300.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, there are 4 limiting convex plates 120, and the 4 limiting convex plates 120 are equally spaced and uniformly arranged inside the mounting base 100. There are 4 corresponding limiting holes 130 and limiting nails, all of which can abut against the positioning side plate 220. The uniform distribution of the limiting convex plates 120 and the limiting nails makes the fixing plate 200 more evenly stressed inside the mounting base 100, avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress. At the same time, the setting of multiple limiting points also enhances the redundancy of the connection. Even if a certain limiting point fails, other limiting points can still continue to function, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, a plurality of sealing grooves 320 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting member 300. The sealing grooves 320 are located near the connection port 301, and sealing rubber rings are embedded in the sealing grooves 320. By providing the sealing grooves 320 on the outer wall of the connecting member 300 and embedding the sealing rubber rings, the water leakage problem at the water pipe connection can be effectively prevented. The annular design of the sealing grooves 320 enables the sealing rubber rings to closely fit on the inner wall of the water pipe, forming a reliable sealing barrier. At the same time, the setting of multiple sealing grooves 320 further improves the sealing effect, ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection.

[0035] It should be noted that the sealing groove 320 is an annular groove, with at least 6 being provided. Among them, 3 sealing grooves 320 are respectively provided at the adjacent positions of each connection port 301, and a sealing rubber ring is provided in each sealing groove 320. By respectively providing 3 sealing grooves 320 at the adjacent positions of each connection port 301 and arranging a sealing rubber ring in each sealing groove 320, this design makes the sealing effect at the connection more remarkable. The superimposed effect of multiple sealing rubber rings not only enhances the tightness of the seal but also improves the durability and anti-aging performance of the connection. In addition, the optimization of the quantity also takes into account the balance between cost and efficiency, making the overall design more economical and practical.

[0036] Referring to Figure 2 , both ends of the connecting member 300 extend beyond both ends of the fixing plate 200, and the sealing groove 320 is located at the position where the connecting member 300 extends beyond the fixing plate 200. By having both ends of the connecting member 300 extend beyond both ends of the fixing plate 200 and arranging the sealing groove 320 at the extended part, when the water pipe is connected, it can be directly sleeved on the connecting member 300 without the need for additional position adjustment. At the same time, the extended part also provides sufficient compression space for the sealing rubber ring, ensuring the reliability of the sealing effect. In addition, it also facilitates the disassembly, installation, and replacement of the water pipe.

[0037] Referring to Figure 3 , in the second aspect of the present utility model, a shower device is further proposed, which includes the water pipe connecting member 300 as described in any one of the above, the first water pipe 400, and the second water pipe 500. The first water pipe 400 and the second water pipe 500 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the connecting member 300 and are respectively communicated with 2 connection ports 301. The first water pipe 400 and the second water pipe 500 are both provided with third fixing holes whose positions respectively correspond to the 2 second fixing holes 310. The fixing fastener 211 passes through the third fixing hole and then inserts into the second fixing hole 310 to simultaneously fix the first water pipe 400, the second water pipe 500, and the connecting member 300. Applying the above water pipe connecting member 300 to the shower device can significantly improve the overall performance and user experience of the shower device. Through advantages such as simplifying the water pipe connection process, improving the installation efficiency and stability, facilitating disassembly, installation, replacement, and maintenance, the installation and use of the shower device become simpler and more reliable. At the same time, the improvement of the sealing performance also reduces the risk of water leakage, improving the safety and service life of the shower device.

[0038] Referring to Figure 4The second water pipe 500 is also provided with a clearance boss 510, which is located on the side of the second water pipe 500 close to the connector 300, and is used to abut against the wall, so that the second water pipe 500 is flush with the connector 300. The clearance boss 510 abuts against the wall, so that there is a space between the second water pipe 500 and the wall, and the distance of the space is the same as the thickness of the mounting seat 100, so as to ensure that the second water pipe 500 after installation is aligned with the connector 300 and is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The clearance boss 510 abuts against the wall to provide a fulcrum to improve the stability of the installation of the second water pipe 500. Optionally, the first water pipe 400 can also be provided with a clearance boss 510 to ensure the installation stability of the entire shower device.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
