Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathrooms, in particular to a shower system and a modular concealed control body thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional shower system controls (i.e., shower valves) are typically mounted on the wall. While this design is simple to install, it lacks aesthetic appeal and easily accumulates dirt, compromising overall cleaning and maintenance. With the continuous evolution of home design, the trend is towards more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing recessed, concealed controls.

[0003] The design concept of a recessed, concealed shower control unit is to conceal the shower system's controls within the wall, achieving a simple and aesthetically pleasing effect. However, this design places higher demands on installation precision. If the depth of the wall opening is not precisely controlled, the control unit may appear convex or concave after installation. This not only affects the appearance but can also cause inconvenience during use, such as difficulty operating the switch or unstable water flow. Utility Model Content
