Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shower devices, in particular to a liftable shower. Background Art

[0002] As people's quality of life continues to improve, their requirements for shower experience are also getting higher and higher. From the initial fixed-height shower system to the current height-adjustable shower system, continuous upgrades have met people's needs for different shower experiences.

[0003] Among the existing patents, the Chinese patent document with application number 202111352910.2 discloses a stepless lifting shower column, including a lifting rod, a slide for fixing the shower part and a shower column lifting assembly, wherein the shower column lifting assembly is fixed to the wall to be installed, the slide is installed on the lifting rod, the lifting rod is slidably installed on the shower column lifting assembly, and the upper and lower ends of the lifting rod are respectively provided with a limit block, the shower column lifting assembly is connected to the lower end of the lifting rod through the limit block, so that the lifting rod can move freely at any position within the travel range; the shower column lifting assembly includes The invention comprises a first mounting seat, a second mounting seat, a lifting assembly, and a fixed frame. The lifting assembly is fixed to the fixed frame via the first and second mounting seats, and the first and second mounting seats are connected to the fixed frame via bolts. The lifting assembly includes a coil spring, a tension spring, and a bracket. The coil spring and tension spring band are respectively mounted on the inner and outer rings of the bracket. The tension spring band is connected to a limit block and fixed to the lower end of the lifting rod. When the tension spring band is rotated under force, it drives the bracket to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the lifting rod to move. The coil spring generates a force to inhibit the rotation of the bracket, thereby enabling the lifting rod to move freely at any position. The patent document realizes the lifting and lowering control of the shower column through the cooperation of the coil spring and the tension spring, thereby achieving the height adjustment of the slide seat. After manually moving to the corresponding position, it can self-lock and stop. However, the structure is complex. Due to the need for the coil spring and the tension spring to work together, the forces acting on the coil spring and the tension spring need to be calculated and analyzed during the manufacturing process, which increases the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0004] Therefore, the defects are very obvious and a solution is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0024] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below with reference to embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides a liftable shower, which includes a balancing gas spring 1, a wall base 2 for being fixedly mounted on a wall, a slider 3 mounted on the wall base 2, and a slide rod 4 slidably connected to the slider 3. The slide rod 4 is provided with a slide rail 5. The balancing gas spring 1 is located in the slide rail 5. The slider 3 slides with the slide rail 5. The top of the slide rod 4 is provided with an upper connecting piece 6. The local structure of the upper connecting piece 6 can extend into the slide rail 5. One end of the balancing gas spring 1 is installed on the connecting piece, and the other end of the balancing gas spring 1 is embedded in the slider 3.

[0026] In actual application, the slide bar 4 is supported by the balancing gas spring 1 (random stop gas spring), so that the slide bar 4 and the balancing gas spring 1 are in a balanced state, and the slide bar 4 can stay at any height position; when the height of the slide bar 4 needs to be adjusted upward or downward, it is only necessary to slightly apply a force to the slide bar 4 in the sliding direction to break the balance, so that the height position of the slide bar 4 can be easily adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the force applied to the slide bar 4 is canceled, so that the slide bar 4 stays at the desired height position under the action of the balancing gas spring 1. In the process of lifting and lowering the slide bar 4, the slide rail 5 and the slider 3 slide together to improve the stability of the lifting and sliding of the slide bar 4. The utility model has a simple structure, low cost, convenient operation, time-saving and labor-saving, and can realize the stop and lifting adjustment of the slide bar 4 at any position.

[0027] In this embodiment, a groove 17 is recessed into the inner sidewall of the slide rail 5, and a limit block 7 is provided on the sidewall of the slider 3. The limit block 7 extends into the groove 17 and is slidably connected to the groove 17. During the relative sliding of the slide rail 5 and the slider 3 of the slide bar 4, the limit block 7 and the groove 17 slide relative to each other, further improving the sliding stability of the slide bar 4. The limit block 7 and the groove 17 cooperate to prevent the slider 3 from separating from the slide rail 5 of the slide bar 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, a cross bar 10 is installed at the top end of the slide bar 4; the cross bar 10 is used to install a top spray shower.

[0029] In this embodiment, a lower connector 8 is mounted at the bottom end of the slide bar 4. A portion of the lower connector 8 is capable of extending into the slide rail 5 and is rotatably connected to a pulley 9, which is configured to roll against the wall. When the slide bar 4 is positioned, the pulley 9 contacts the wall, balancing the slide bar 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, a transverse water pipe assembly 11 is disposed within the crossbar 10, a longitudinal water pipe assembly 12 is disposed within the slide bar 4, and a lower connector 8 is provided with a water inlet channel 13 and a water outlet channel 14. One end of the transverse water pipe assembly 11 communicates with the top end of the longitudinal water pipe assembly 12 via the upper connector 6, while the bottom end of the longitudinal water pipe assembly 12 is connected to the lower connector 8 via a showerhead switching valve 15. The showerhead switching valve 15 is mounted within the slide bar 4, with its knob exposed outside the slide bar 4. The showerhead switching valve 15 is used to close the water inlet channel 13, connect the water inlet channel 13 with the longitudinal water pipe assembly 12, or connect the water inlet channel 13 with the water outlet channel 14. The water outlet channel 14 is detachably connected to a handheld showerhead. An overhead showerhead is detachably connected to the crossbar 10, and the overhead showerhead is connected to the other end of the transverse water pipe assembly 11. This structural design allows the user to control the showerhead switching valve 15 to meet different showering needs. Since the knob of the showerhead switching valve 15 is exposed outside the sliding rod 4 , it is convenient for the user to turn the knob of the showerhead switching valve 15 .

[0031] In this embodiment, a shower head seat 16 is slidably connected to a side of the slide rod 4 away from the wall seat 2 , and the shower head seat 16 is used to fix a handheld shower head.

[0032] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0033] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
