Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is sought, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Depend on Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional shower column structure, comprising a shower column body 1. The body 1 includes an upper tube 2, a lower tube 3, a connecting tube 4, a top cover, a water inlet pipe 5, a first water outlet pipe 6, and a control module 9. The connecting tube 4 is connected and disposed between the upper tube 2 and the lower tube 3. The top cover is encapsulated on the top of the upper tube 2, forming a housing for the body 1. The water inlet pipe 5 and the first water outlet pipe 6 are disposed within the housing and are respectively connected to a control module. The control module is a valve assembly for opening and closing and regulating the water flow, which will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the upper tube 2 is tilted away from the wall via the connecting tube 4, forming an inclined portion. The upper tube 2 is provided with a first connecting seat 10. A retaining groove 11 is provided on the side of the upper tube 2 that is adjacent to the wall and connects to the inner cavity of the housing. The first connecting seat 10 is configured to be able to change its installation position within the retaining groove 11. The first connecting seat 10 is connected to a shower arm 12, connecting the water flow between the body 1 and the shower arm 12. The shower arm 12 is connected to the wall through a flange, and the shower arm 12 has an adjustable distance relative to the wall. Therefore, when the body 1 is fixed to the wall through the fixing seat 31, the shower arm 12 can be installed at a certain depth (such as Figures 3 to 4 , adjust the front distance A to the rear distance B), and then adjust the installation position of the first connecting seat 10 on the limiting groove 11 to achieve an adaptive connection. This design allows the shower column to have a larger adjustment distance, and the depth adjustment does not affect the distance between the shower column body 1 and the wall, providing a better installation position and is very convenient.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, a second connection seat 13 is mounted on the top of the upper tube 2 and communicates with the waterway within the body 1. The second connection seat 13 also includes a telescopic portion configured to include at least one level of telescopic tube assembly 17. One end of the telescopic portion is connected to the water inlet of the second connection seat 13, and the other end is connected to the water outlet of the first connection seat 10. When water from the shower arm 12 passes through the first connection seat 10, it is connected to the second connection seat 13 via the telescopic tube assembly 17 and then directed into the water inlet pipe 5. The output end of the first connection seat 10 is provided with a first connection hole 15, with one end of the telescopic tube assembly 17 being sealedly connected to the first connection hole 15. The input end of the second connection seat 13 is provided with a second connection hole 16, with the other end of the telescopic tube assembly 17 being sealedly connected to the second connection hole 16, ensuring that the waterway remains sealed and leak-proof. Preferably, the telescopic portion is configured to maintain communication between the water outlet of the first connection seat 10 and the water inlet of the second connection seat 13 when the first connection seat 10 changes position, moving away from or approaching the second connection seat 13. In this embodiment, the telescopic portion is a single-stage telescopic tube assembly 17, that is, it includes an outer telescopic tube member 19 and an inner telescopic tube member 18. The outer telescopic tube member 19 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the outer telescopic tube member 19. The inner telescopic tube member 18 is provided with an annular sealing groove on one end located inside the outer telescopic tube member 19. The sealing groove has a sealing ring built in it, thereby ensuring that a sealed state is maintained between the inner telescopic tube member 18 and the outer telescopic tube member 19 during telescoping.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first retaining groove 20 is provided through the first connecting hole 15; a second retaining groove 21 is provided on one end of the telescopic tube assembly 17; and a retaining ring 22 is provided, which fits into both the first retaining groove 20 and the second retaining groove 21. The retaining ring 22 secures one end of the telescopic tube assembly 17 within the first connecting hole 15. Furthermore, the other end of the telescopic tube assembly 17 is threadedly connected to the second connecting hole 16. This makes installation and removal of the telescopic tube assembly 17 very convenient, allowing for quick replacement even if a leak occurs.

[0034] Preferably, since the upper tube 2 is further away from the wall as it approaches the top, a second connecting seat 13 is provided at the top of the upper tube 2 as a fixing point, and can be connected to the first connecting seat 10 through at least one level of telescopic tube group 17, so that the first connecting seat 10 and the shower arm 12 can have a larger installation space and better adapt to the installation. At the same time, the telescopic part can also be provided with a multi-level telescopic tube group 17, which ensures that there is sufficient connection length between the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 13 during installation to ensure the connection effect. Figure 7 As another embodiment, the telescopic portion can be set as a two-level telescopic tube group 17, that is, three telescopic tubes are set to be nested in layers to provide a longer telescopic length, wherein adjacent telescopic tubes can be limited by setting a limiting structure to avoid falling out, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Preferably, the first connecting base 10 includes a movable block 23, a water inlet connector 24, and a locknut 25. The movable block 23 is adapted to be slidably disposed within the inner cavity of the upper tube 2. The water inlet connector 24 passes through the limiting groove 11 and is threadedly connected to the movable block 23, serving as the water inlet end of the first connecting base 10. The water inlet connector 24 extends from the limiting groove 11 to the upper tube 2. The movable block 23 can be moved and adjusted in position by dragging the water inlet connector 24. The locknut 25 is threadedly connected to the water inlet connector 24 to secure the position of the first connecting base 10 on the upper tube 2. Furthermore, a universal joint assembly 26 can be connected between the first connecting base 10 and the shower arm 12. One end of the universal joint assembly 26 is connected to the output end of the shower arm 12, and the other end is connected to the input end of the water inlet connector 24. The internal ball joint and the connecting nut can adjust the axial angle of the two ends to facilitate installation and connection when the shower arm 12 is angularly deviated. This will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Preferably, the second connecting seat 13 is provided with a first connection port that communicates with the second connecting hole 16. One end of the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the first connection port, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the control module 9. The second connecting seat 13 is also provided with a second connection port and a third connection port. The second connection port and the third connection port are connected to each other. One end of the first water outlet pipe 6 is connected to the second connection port, and the other end is connected to a water outlet of the control module 9. The third connection port is connected to a top sprinkler connector 30. The water inlet pipe 5 and the first water outlet pipe 6 are connected between the second connecting seat 13 and the control module 9. The movable block 23 is provided with through holes suitable for passing the water inlet pipe 5 and the first water outlet pipe 6. In this embodiment, the two through holes are located on either side of the first connection port 15. This prevents the installation and removal of the telescopic tube assembly 17 from affecting other waterways within the main body 1, making the waterway more stable and preventing leakage.

[0037] Preferably, a second water outlet pipe 7 is also included, the water inlet end of the second water outlet pipe 7 being connected to the other water outlet end of the control module 9. Multiple side spray assemblies 8 are connected to the second water outlet pipe 7. By adding the second water outlet pipe 7 to the shower column body 1, the control module 9 can switch its water path, producing a side spray effect, which can provide a flushing effect for the waist or back of the human body, and provide the shower column body 1 with more functions. The control module 9 switches the water path using conventional water valve technology, which will not be further described here. In this embodiment, a shower outlet 14 can also be provided at the bottom of the control module 9 to connect to a shower pipe, providing more shower water outlet methods and functions.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
