Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a shower faucet that can reduce installation requirements while ensuring the aesthetics of the shower faucet after installation. The shower faucet includes a mounting housing 1, a valve body assembly 2, and a water inlet pipe 3.

[0055] Among them, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting housing 1 is provided with a first mounting cavity 13 and a second mounting cavity 14, each of which is independent of the other. The second mounting cavity 14 has a first mounting opening 140 communicating with the outside. The valve body assembly 2 is disposed within the first mounting cavity 13, and the water inlet pipe 3 is disposed within the second mounting cavity 14, and is exposed through the first mounting opening 140. One end of the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the valve body assembly 2, and the other end is configured to be embedded in the mounting wall. Once the water inlet pipe 3 is embedded in the mounting wall, the mounting housing 1 can be aligned with the mounting wall.

[0056] In the shower faucet provided in this embodiment, the valve body assembly 2 and the water inlet pipe 3 are respectively installed in the first installation cavity 13 and the second installation cavity 14. Since the second installation cavity 14 has a first installation port 140 that is connected to the outside, and the water inlet pipe 3 can be exposed from the first installation port 140, when the water inlet pipe 3 is embedded and installed in the installation wall (such as the wall of the bathroom, etc.), it can be operated from the first installation port 140. In other words, the water inlet pipe 3 can be installed in an off-wall installation manner, without special requirements for the installation environment, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the shower faucet. In addition, after the water inlet pipe 3 is installed on the installation wall, the installation shell 1 is completely fitted with the installation wall, so that the water inlet pipe 3 can be hidden and cannot be seen from the outside, thereby ensuring that the shower faucet is neat and beautiful after installation. In other words, the structural design of the shower faucet can not only reduce the installation requirements and installation difficulty, but also ensure the beauty of the shower faucet after installation.

[0057] Optionally, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The shower faucet also includes a decorative shell 4, which is removably mounted on the water inlet pipe 3 or the mounting housing 1. The decorative shell 4 is used to conceal the portion of the water inlet pipe 3 exposed through the first mounting opening 140. When the water inlet pipe 3 is embedded in the mounting wall and the mounting housing 1 is in contact with the mounting wall, the decorative shell 4 is mounted on the water inlet pipe 3 or the mounting housing 1. The decorative shell 4 can conceal the exposed portion of the water inlet pipe 3, completely concealing the water inlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 3 cannot be seen from above, below, or from the side, further ensuring the aesthetics of the shower faucet after installation.

[0058] Optionally, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting shell 1 includes a main shell 11, and a partition 12 is provided in the main shell 11. The partition 12 separates the main shell 11 into a first mounting cavity 13 and a second mounting cavity 14. A connecting hole 1211 is provided on the partition 12 to connect the first mounting cavity 13 and the second mounting cavity 14. The water inlet pipe 3 includes a detachably connected main pipe 31 and a pipe joint 32. The end of the pipe joint 32 away from the main pipe 31 is connected to the connecting hole 1211, and the end of the main pipe 31 away from the pipe joint 32 is used to be embedded in the mounting wall. The partition 12 allows the first mounting cavity 13 and the second mounting cavity 14 to remain relatively independent, thereby realizing partitioning and hiding the valve body assembly 2 and the water inlet pipe 3. At the same time, it can ensure that only the water inlet pipe 3 is exposed through the first mounting port 140, without affecting the embedding of the water inlet pipe 3 into the mounting wall through the off-wall installation method.

[0059] By providing a connection hole 1211 in the partition 12, once the pipe joint 32 is connected to the connection hole 1211, the connection hole 1211 can be connected to the pipeline of the valve body assembly 2, so that the water supply pipeline supplies water to the valve body assembly 2 through the water inlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 3 is designed to be detachable. When assembling the water inlet pipe 3 and the valve body assembly 2, the pipe joint 32 can be connected to the connection hole 1211 first, and then the main pipe 31 can be connected to the pipe joint 32, which makes assembly more convenient.

[0060] In this embodiment, two water inlet pipes 3 are provided. Accordingly, two connecting holes 1211 are formed on the first plate 121. The two water inlet pipes 3 are connected to the two connecting holes 1211 in a one-to-one correspondence. One water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the hot water supply pipeline for supplying hot water to the valve body assembly 2, and the other water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the cold water supply pipeline for supplying cold water to the valve body assembly 2. The valve body assembly 2 can be used to adjust the water outlet mode and the mixing ratio of hot and cold water so that the shower head can spray shower water at an appropriate temperature.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The partition 12 comprises a first plate 121 and a second plate 122, arranged at an angle. The first plate 121 is fixedly connected to the main housing 11, and a connection hole 1211 is provided in the first plate 121. The second plate 122 extends away from the first plate 121, toward the mounting wall, and is capable of affixing to the mounting wall. Specifically, the first and second plates 121, 122 enclose a second mounting cavity 14 having a first mounting opening 140. This first mounting opening 140 is relatively open. Once the pipe connector 32 of the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the connection hole 1211, the main pipe 31 is completely exposed, facilitating subsequent connection of the main pipe 31 to the mounting wall.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are substantially perpendicular, that is, the partition 12 is L-shaped. After the shower faucet is mounted on the wall, the second plate 122 is located above the first plate 121, and the first mounting opening 140 faces the ground, allowing the main tube 31 to be inserted into the mounting wall from below. Furthermore, the first mounting opening 140 faces downward, making it invisible from above after the decorative shell 4 is installed. This effectively conceals the water inlet pipe 3 and ensures the aesthetics of the installed shower faucet.

[0063] Further, see Figure 2 A reinforcing plate 123 is connected between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122. The reinforcing plate 123 is located in the second mounting cavity 14 and prevents deformation of the partition 12, thereby improving the overall deformation resistance of the mounting housing 1. For example, three reinforcing plates 123 are provided at intervals to evenly strengthen the structural strength of the partition 12.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the first installation opening 140 may also be designed to face upward, so that the main tube 31 is inserted into the installation wall for operation from above.

[0065] Illustratively, the connection hole 1211 is a threaded hole, and the pipe joint 32 has a threaded connection section. During assembly, it is only necessary to screw the pipe joint 32 into the connection hole 1211 , which ensures reliable connection and simple operation.

[0066] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 4The pipe joint 32 is provided with a locking nut 321. The main pipe 31 includes a first connecting section 311, a transition connecting section 312, and a second connecting section 313 connected in sequence. The locking nut 321 is threadedly connected to the first connecting section 311, and the second connecting section 313 can be embedded in the installation wall. During installation, first connect the pipe joint 32 to the connection hole 1211, then thread the locking nut 321 to the first connecting section 311 of the main pipe 31. The water inlet pipe 3 is then assembled with the valve body assembly 2 and the installation shell 1. Finally, the second connecting section 313 of the main pipe 31 is connected to the water supply pipeline in the installation wall. After the main pipe 31 is installed in place, the first connecting section 311 is embedded in the installation wall, and at the same time, the installation shell 1 is in contact with the installation wall.

[0067] Specifically in this embodiment Figure 4 In the figure, the side of the second connecting section 313 of the mounting shell 1 close to the main tube 31 is the wall-attached side 10. The wall-attached side 10 can be close to the mounting wall, so that the main tube 31 is hidden under the mounting shell 1, ensuring that the shower faucet is neat and beautiful after being installed on the wall.

[0068] In this embodiment, the locking nut 321 is rotatably matched with the pipe joint 32. When the pipe joint 32 and the main tube 31 are assembled, the locking nut 321 can be rotated relative to the pipe joint 32 to prevent the connection between the pipe joint 32 and the connecting hole 1211 from loosening.

[0069] See Figure 4 The transition section 312 of the main pipe 31 is tilted, so that the axis of the first connecting section 311 and the axis of the second connecting section 313 are offset. When the water supply line flows through the water inlet pipe 3 to the valve body assembly 2, the tilted transition section 312 can buffer the impact of the water, ensuring stable water flow from the shower device. For example, the water inlet pipe 3 has a curved foot.

[0070] Optionally, see Figure 4 The water inlet pipe 3 also includes a first seal 33, which is tightly clamped between the main pipe 31 and the pipe joint 32. When the lock nut 321 is tightened, the first seal 33 is clamped between the first connecting section 311 of the main pipe 31 and the pipe joint 32, ensuring a sealed connection between the main pipe 31 and the pipe joint 32 to prevent water leakage. For example, the first seal 33 may be a rubber gasket, a silicone gasket, or the like.

[0071] See Figure 4 The pipe joint 32 is provided with a second sealing member 322, through which the pipe joint 32 is sealed and connected to the connection hole 1211. When the pipe joint 32 is connected to the connection hole 1211, the second sealing member 322 is clamped between the pipe joint 32 and the hole wall of the connection hole 1211, ensuring a sealed connection between the pipe joint 32 and the connection hole 1211 to prevent water leakage.

[0072] For example, a sealing groove is provided around the threaded connection section of the pipe joint 32 , and the second sealing member 322 may be a rubber sealing ring which is clamped in the sealing groove to ensure sealing reliability.

[0073] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The decorative shell 4 has a second mounting opening 40, through which the water inlet pipe 3 can be snapped into the decorative shell 4. A snap-fitting groove 421 is provided within the decorative shell 4, into which at least a portion of the water inlet pipe 3 can be snapped. After the second connecting section 313 of the main pipe 31 is embedded in the mounting wall, the decorative shell 4 is placed into the second mounting cavity 14 through the first mounting opening 140, aligning the second mounting opening 40 of the decorative shell 4 with the water inlet pipe 3 and snapping it in. The snap-fitting groove 421 is also aligned with the main pipe 31. When the snap-fitting groove 421 is snapped into place with the main pipe 31, the decorative shell 4 is securely installed. Installing the decorative shell 4 by snapping is simple and ensures a secure installation.

[0074] In other embodiments, the decorative shell 4 can also be detachably connected to the installation shell 1, for example, the decorative shell 4 is snap-fitted to the partition 12; or, the decorative shell 4 is designed to be a plate-like structure, and the decorative shell 4 is snap-fitted to the main shell 11 to block the first installation port 140 as a whole, as long as it can cover the water inlet pipe 3 and is easy to install.

[0075] Optionally, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The decorative shell 4 includes an arcuate outer shell 41 and an elastic clip 42 disposed within the outer shell 41. The elastic clip 42 is provided with a snap-in groove 421. During installation of the decorative shell 4, the snap-in groove 421 snaps into engagement with the water inlet pipe 3, allowing the elastic clip 42 to adapt and elastically deform, ensuring a secure engagement between the snap-in groove 421 and the water inlet pipe 3. The arcuate outer shell 41 conforms to the shape of the water inlet pipe 3, completely enclosing the exposed portion of the water inlet pipe 3. This ensures that the water inlet pipe 3 is not visible from the outside, creating a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance without sharp edges and corners, while also saving material.

[0076] In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the elastic buckle 42 is a semi-annular structure. The elastic buckle 42 is clamped on the first connecting section 311 of the main tube 31. After the decorative shell 4 is clamped in place, one side of the elastic buckle 42 fits with the locking nut 321.

[0077] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad may be provided on the inner side of the clamping groove 421 to increase the clamping stability between the elastic clamp 42 and the water inlet pipe 3 .

[0078] See Figure 2 and Figure 5The decorative shell 4 has a first side 43 and a second side 44 arranged opposite each other in the direction of extension of the water inlet pipe 3. The first side 43 mates with the inner wall of the second mounting cavity 14 facing the mounting wall, while the second side 44 mates with the mounting wall. This arrangement ensures that, after the decorative shell 4 is installed, there are no significant gaps between the decorative shell 4, the mounting housing 1, and the mounting wall, resulting in a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. In this embodiment, the first side 43 of the decorative shell 4 mates with the first plate 121 of the partition 12.

[0079] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The decorative shell 4 is provided with abutment portions 412 on opposite sides of the second mounting opening 40. The abutment portions 412 abut against the inner wall of the second mounting cavity 14 that faces the first mounting opening 140. The provision of the abutment portions 412 increases the contact area between the decorative shell 4 and the inner wall of the second mounting cavity 14, thereby improving the installation security of the decorative shell 4.

[0080] In this embodiment, the fitting portion 412 protrudes toward the outside of the second installation opening 40 and fits with the second plate body 122 of the partition 12 . The two fitting portions 412 can prevent the decorative shell 4 from shaking left and right.

[0081] See Figure 5 The decorative housing 4 is provided with a guide surface 411, which slopes gradually downward as it approaches the mounting wall. That is, after the shower faucet is installed, the guide surface 411 in the decorative housing 4 slopes toward the ground. During showering, water inevitably enters the decorative housing 4. The guide surface 411 helps to promptly guide the water out, preventing water accumulation within the decorative housing 4.

[0082] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer cover shell 41 of the decorative shell 4 is tilted downward in a direction close to the installation wall, and the inner wall surface of the outer cover shell 41 is the above-mentioned guide surface 411.

[0083] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first mounting cavity 13 has a third mounting opening 130, which opens in the opposite or same direction as the opening of the first mounting opening 140. The shower faucet also includes a cover plate 5, which is removably mounted on the mounting housing 1 and capable of sealing the third mounting opening 130, thereby sealing the valve body assembly 2 within the first mounting cavity 13. When assembling the shower faucet, the valve body assembly 2 is installed into the first mounting cavity 13 through the third mounting opening 130. After the valve body assembly 2 is secured, the cover plate 5 is used to seal the third mounting opening 130, concealing the valve body assembly 2 and ensuring a neat appearance for the shower faucet.

[0084] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the opening directions of the first mounting opening 140 and the third mounting opening 130 are opposite, referring to Figure 3 In the middle position, the third installation port 130 opens upward, the valve body assembly 2 is installed into the first installation cavity 13 from above, and the first installation port 140 opens downward, which facilitates the subsequent embedding of the water inlet pipe 3 into the installation wall and better hides the water inlet pipe 3.

[0085] In other embodiments, the first installation opening 140 and the third installation opening 130 can also be designed to open upward. After the water inlet pipe 3 is embedded in the installation wall, the cover plate 5 is used to cover the first installation opening 140 and the third installation opening 130 at the same time.

[0086] Optionally, see Figure 3 One of the cover plate 5 and the mounting housing 1 is provided with a first clamping structure 51, and the other is provided with a second clamping structure. The first clamping structure 51 is clamped with the second clamping structure. After the valve body assembly 2 is installed and fixed, the cover plate 5 can be clamped with the mounting housing 1, which is simple to assemble.

[0087] Illustratively, the first locking structure 51 is a hook protruding from the cover plate 5 on the side facing the mounting housing 1 . The mounting housing 1 is provided with a slot, and the hook is aligned with the slot and locked into place.

[0088] See Figure 3 One of the cover plate 5 and the mounting housing 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 52, and the other is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning protrusion 52 engages with the positioning groove.
