DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference as follows Figure 1-4 The utility model is described as follows:

[0033] Example 1: A waterway adapter structure within a shower device comprises a water supply pipe 1 (connected to a soft water pipe) and a water outlet disc 2 (a shower head). The water supply pipe 1, serving as a water transmission channel, is connected to the soft water pipe at one end and has a water outlet. The water outlet disc 2 is provided with a water inlet 3. The water outlet disc 2, a key component of the shower head, is a disc-shaped structure designed to evenly distribute water and is equipped with the water inlet 3. An adapter is also included to connect the water supply pipe 1 and the water outlet disc 2.

[0034] The adapter plays a key role in the entire structure. It mainly consists of an adapter 4 and a water inlet pipe 5.

[0035] The adapter includes an adapter 4 connected to the water inlet 3. The adapter 4 has a water inlet cavity 41 that opens toward the water inlet 3. The water inlet 3 is adapted to be sealed with the water inlet cavity 41. This design effectively prevents water leakage, ensuring that water resources are fully utilized during showering, while also improving the user experience.

[0036] A fixing portion 42 is provided on the side of the adapter 4, which is fixed to the water outlet tray 2 via bolts. This bolted connection offers the advantages of simple structure and ease of operation, ensuring a secure and reliable connection between the adapter 4 and the water outlet tray 2. During installation and maintenance, users can easily remove and install the bolts using tools, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0037] The adapter also includes a water inlet pipe 5 connected to the water outlet. The water inlet pipe 5 and the adapter 4 are arranged in an integrated manner, which not only enhances the structural stability of the entire adapter, but also reduces the assembly steps in the manufacturing process and reduces costs. A through hole 43 is provided on the side wall of the adapter 4, which is connected to one end of the water inlet pipe 5. The other end of the water inlet pipe 5 is plugged into the water outlet of the water supply pipe 1. The plug-in connection also has the characteristics of simple structure and easy operation. During installation, the connection can be completed by simply inserting the water inlet pipe 5 into the water outlet of the water supply pipe 1, without the need for complicated operating steps. This connection method also has a certain degree of flexibility and can adapt to the connection requirements of different angles and positions.

[0038] The water channel adapter structure within this shower device, through the ingenious design of the adapter 4 and the water inlet pipe 5, achieves a reliable connection between the water supply pipe 1 and the water outlet tray 2. Its excellent sealing performance, simple structure, and easy operation not only meet users' expectations for shower device performance and quality, but also improve the efficiency of manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.

[0039] A plug connector 51 extends from the outlet of the water supply pipe 1. This plug connector 51 is inserted into the other end of the water inlet pipe 5 to form a tight seal. To further enhance the sealing performance, a sealing ring can be provided at the connection. The sealing ring effectively prevents water from leaking from the connection between the plug connector 51 and the water inlet pipe 5, ensuring a good seal for the entire water system.

[0040] The plug connector 51 is inserted into the water inlet pipe 5, creating a stable, secure, and sealed connection. This connection offers several advantages. First, it ensures that water is leak-free during transmission, ensuring a normal shower. Second, this connection is highly stable, capable of withstanding certain water pressures and external forces, and is not prone to loosening or falling off. Furthermore, the plug-in structure is easy to operate, allowing for quick connection and removal during both installation and maintenance.

[0041] In actual use, the user can easily insert the plug connector 51 into the water inlet pipe 5 without complicated tools and operating steps. This convenience not only improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance, but also brings a better user experience.

[0042] The plug-in connection method between the plug connector 51 extending from the water outlet of the water supply pipe 1 and the water inlet pipe 5 achieves good sealing performance by setting a sealing ring. At the same time, it has the advantages of stability, firmness, and easy operation, providing a reliable connection guarantee for the water channel transfer structure of the shower device.

[0043] The water supply pipes 1 on either side of the plug connector 51 are each provided with a clamping arm 52. The inner ends of the clamping arms 52 are provided with anti-drop barbs 53. The outer wall of the water inlet pipe 5 is provided with an anti-drop portion 54 connected to the anti-drop barbs 53. When the water inlet pipe 5 is plugged into the plug connector 51, the clamping arms 52 firmly hold the water inlet pipe 5. The anti-drop barbs and anti-drop portion work together to effectively prevent the water inlet pipe 5 from accidentally falling off during use.

[0044] This design has significant advantages in practical applications. First, on the basis of the plug-in connection between the water inlet pipe 5 and the plug connector 51, it is clamped and fixed by the clamping arm 52, which greatly enhances the stability and firmness of the connection. Even when impacted by water flow or subjected to a certain external force, the water inlet pipe 5 can maintain a stable connection state and will not easily loosen or fall off. Secondly, this double connection method improves the safety of the shower device. It avoids problems such as water leakage or falling off of the water inlet pipe 5 due to loose connection, reducing safety hazards. Furthermore, the setting and operation of the clamping arm 52 are simple and convenient, without the need for complicated tools and tedious installation steps. During the installation and maintenance process, the user can easily insert the water inlet pipe 5 into the plug connector 51 and fix it with the clamping arm 52, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0045] Four fixing portions 42 are provided on the sides of the adapter 4. Each fixing portion 42 has a connection hole 44, and the water outlet tray 2 has threaded holes 45 corresponding to these holes. Each fixing portion 42 has a connection hole, and the water outlet tray 2 has a corresponding threaded hole 45. Bolts are connected through the connection holes and threaded holes 45, creating a stable connection between the adapter 4 and the water outlet tray 2.

[0046] This connection method offers several advantages. First, the four fixing portions 42 increase the contact area and stress points of the connection, making the connection between the adapter 4 and the water outlet tray 2 more secure and reliable. Even during showering, the connection remains secure against the impact of water flow and external forces. Second, bolt connections are simple, convenient, and quick to use. During installation and maintenance, simply screw the bolts into the connection holes and threaded holes 45 using the appropriate tools, greatly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, this connection method offers excellent repeatability and interchangeability. If the adapter 4 or water outlet tray 2 needs to be replaced, simply remove the bolts for quick and easy replacement.

[0047] The water outlet disc 2 is equipped with an annular connecting ring 31 surrounding the water inlet 3. This ring 31 is adapted to seal the water inlet chamber 41, meaning their size and shape are carefully designed to fit snugly together, effectively preventing water leakage. The outer diameter of the connecting ring 31 is equal to the diameter of the water inlet chamber 41. This precise dimension matching ensures a tight connection. To further enhance the sealing performance, a sealing ring can be installed at the junction of the connecting ring 31 and the water inlet chamber 41. This sealing ring fills any slight gap between the two, ensuring that water does not leak through the connection.

[0048] First, a well-sealed connection avoids water waste and improves the efficiency of the shower. Second, a sealed connection prevents water leaks from damaging the surrounding environment, such as water droplets splashing onto the bathroom floor and causing slips and other safety hazards. Furthermore, the adaptive design of the connecting ring 31 and the water inlet cavity 41, as well as the provision of a sealing ring, make the entire connection structure more stable and reliable, capable of withstanding the water pressure and external forces during showering.

[0049] The fixing portion 42 is provided with a positioning post 46, and the water outlet tray body 2 is provided with a positioning hole 47 that connects to the positioning post 46. The cooperation between the positioning post 46 and the positioning hole allows for quick positioning during installation. When connecting the adapter 4 to the water outlet tray body 2, the positioning post 46 is first inserted into the positioning hole. This quickly determines the relative position of the two and ensures that the connecting hole and the threaded hole 45 are accurately aligned. This not only greatly improves installation efficiency and reduces adjustment time during installation, but also avoids problems such as loose connections or poor sealing due to inaccurate positioning.

[0050] In addition, the connection between the positioning post 46 and the positioning hole can also enhance the stability of the connection to a certain extent. After the bolts securely connect the fixing portion 42 to the water outlet tray body 2, the positioning post 46 plays an auxiliary supporting and fixing role in the positioning hole, further preventing the adapter 4 from shifting or loosening during use.

[0051] The side of the anti-slip portion 54 facing the water supply pipe 1 is a slope. This design plays a key role in the installation process of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water supply pipe 1. When the water inlet pipe 5 and the water supply pipe 1 are installed, the slope on the anti-slip portion first contacts the anti-slip barb on the clamping arm 52. Due to the presence of the slope, as the water inlet pipe 5 is inserted, the slope gradually forces the clamping arm 52 to open and deform. This process is relatively smooth and does not bring excessive resistance to the installation. When the anti-slip portion passes over the anti-slip barb on the clamping arm 52, the clamping arm 52 loses the force of the slope and will resume deformation, thereby clamping on the water inlet pipe 5. This design achieves a quick connection between the water inlet pipe 5 and the water supply pipe 1, while ensuring the firmness of the connection and preventing the water inlet pipe 5 from accidentally falling off during use.

[0052] The outer end of the clamping arm 52 is provided with an outward-turned reinforcement 55. This reinforcement further enhances the structural strength of the clamping arm 52. During the clamping of the water inlet pipe 5, the reinforcement can withstand greater pressure and tension, ensuring that the clamping arm 52 is not easily deformed or damaged by external forces. Furthermore, the outward-turned design of the reinforcement also makes the clamping arm 52 more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious with the overall design of the shower device.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
