Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, specifically to a fixed structure and a shower. Background Technology

[0002] Existing showerheads typically use retractable mounting brackets for both straight and curved pipes, which are usually composed of multiple parts. Curved pipes are secured to the bracket with a nut and a wear-resistant washer. Improved showerheads include an outer pipe and an inner pipe housed within it. An upper mounting bracket is located on the outer circumference of the outer pipe. A lifting pipe is also included, fitted over the inner pipe and inserted into the outer pipe from the upper mounting bracket. A connecting ring is located within the upper mounting bracket and fitted around the outer circumference of the lifting pipe. A stop block, which mates with the lower end of the connecting ring, is located on the outer pipe. The upper mounting bracket's clamping nut has a first inclined surface, the upper end of the connecting ring has a second inclined surface that mates with the first, the upper mounting bracket has a third inclined surface, and the lower end of the connecting ring has a fourth inclined surface that mates with the third. This design adjusts the height by rotating the clamping nut downwards or upwards, allowing the connecting ring to grip or release the lifting pipe through the interaction of the two sets of inclined surfaces. However, the addition of the lifting pipe for height adjustment makes the structure more complex and installation more inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention and its related embodiments adopt the following technical solutions, but are not limited to the following solutions:

[0008] The fourth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the fixing seat is further provided with a second cavity communicating with the first cavity, and the cavity wall of the second cavity is provided with a first threaded hole; the fastener is adapted to abut against the abutment part through the first threaded hole.

[0009] The fifth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the first cavity is provided with a first stop surface extending radially, the elastic open ring is provided with a first abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the first stop surface abut against each other; the abutting part is adapted to deform radially to allow the elastic open ring to enter the first cavity, and when the first abutting surface and the first stop surface abut against each other, the abutting part deforms back to extend into the second cavity.

[0010] The sixth technical solution is based on the third technical solution, wherein the abutting part is provided with a first guide slope, the cavity wall of the first cavity is provided with a second guide slope, and the second guide slope is adapted to cooperate with the first guide slope so that the elastic opening ring can quickly enter the first cavity.

[0011] The seventh technical solution is based on the first technical solution, wherein the elastic open ring includes an upper ring and a lower ring on the same center line, the upper ring is an open ring with a first end and a second end, and the lower ring is a closed ring; a C-shaped gap is provided circumferentially at the connection between the lower end of the upper ring and the upper end of the lower ring so that the second end deforms and moves closer to the first end when the fastener abuts against the abutting part.

[0012] The eighth technical solution is based on the seventh technical solution, wherein the inner diameter of the lower ring is larger than the inner diameter of the upper ring, the upper end of the lower ring forms an annular step, the annular step is suitable for the first pipe to pass through to connect the second pipe, and the lower surface of the annular step is suitable for the second pipe to abut.

[0013] The ninth technical solution is based on the fourth technical solution, wherein the fixing structure further includes a connector, and the second cavity is further provided with a second threaded hole; one end of the connector is fixedly connected to the fixing object, and the other end extends into the second cavity to be threadedly connected to the cavity wall of the second cavity through the second threaded hole.

[0014] The tenth technical solution relates to a shower, which includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a fixing structure as described in any one of the first to ninth technical solutions; the second pipe is connected to the water outlet of the shower, and the first pipe passes through the elastic open ring to be sealed and inserted with the second pipe.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the first technical solution, an elastic open ring is sleeved outside the first tube and housed within a fixed base. The first end of the elastic open ring is circumferentially fixed relative to the fixed base, and the second end has an abutment portion. There is a gap between the first end and the second end. The fastener is adapted to abut or disengage from the abutment portion to bring the second end closer to or further away from the first end. Thus, when the fastener abuts the abutment portion, since the first end of the elastic open ring is circumferentially fixed relative to the fixed base, and there is a gap between the first end and the second end, the first end and the second end form a cantilever-like structure suitable for deformation. Therefore, when the fastener abuts the abutment portion, the second end deforms under force and moves closer to the first end, causing the elastic open ring to apply radial pressure to the first tube, thereby clamping the first tube. When the fastener disengages from the abutment portion, the force acting on the abutment portion is eliminated, and the second end moves away from the first end due to deformation recovery. The radial pressure applied by the elastic open ring to the first tube is also released, thereby allowing the first tube to move in the axial position. Compared with the prior art, the structure of this application is simpler, and installation and operation are more convenient.

[0017] In the second technical solution, the fastener is moved forward or backward by using the threaded engagement between the fastener and the fixed seat to push against or disengage from the abutment part. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0018] In the third technical solution, the first end of the elastic open ring is fixed to the fixed seat circumferentially by the concave-convex fit between the inner wall of the first cavity and the outer wall of the elastic open ring; the concave-convex fit structure is relatively simple and easy to modularly manufacture.

[0019] In the fourth technical solution, the fixing seat is provided with a second cavity to realize the fastener pressing against the elastic open ring and the fixing component to fix the connecting component, making full use of the internal space of the fixing seat and the structure is simple.

[0020] In the fifth technical solution, the first abutting surface and the first stop surface abut against each other along the axial direction of the first cavity. When the abutting part abuts against each other, it extends into the second cavity, so that the elastic open ring is limited along the axial direction of the first cavity by the first stop surface and the cavity wall of the second cavity, thereby fixing it relative to the fixed seat along the axial direction of the first cavity or moving it within a limited range, preventing it from coming out of the first cavity.

[0021] In the sixth technical solution, when the elastic open ring is installed into the fixed seat, the first guide slope and the second guide slope cooperate to make the abutment part deform inward along the radial direction to make room while reducing the resistance along the axial direction of the first cavity, so that the elastic open ring can quickly enter the first cavity.

[0022] In the seventh technical solution, one implementation structure of the elastic open ring is as follows: the C-shaped gap makes the second end form a cantilever structure relative to the lower ring to ensure the elasticity of the second end in the circumferential direction, so that when the fastener abuts against the contact part, the second end can deform to approach the first end and thus hold the first pipe tightly. The closed lower ring can increase the overall strength of the elastic open ring to reduce the deformation of the elastic open ring and ensure the dimensional stability of the elastic open ring.

[0023] In the eighth technical solution, the inner diameters of the upper and lower rings are different, which facilitates the mold opening of the elastic open ring. The lower surface of the annular step is suitable for the second tube to abut, so that the upper end of the second tube is hidden inside the elastic open ring, which is both aesthetically pleasing and provides axial support for the elastic open ring.

[0024] In the ninth technical solution, the connector extends into the second cavity and is threaded to the cavity wall of the second cavity, fixing the fixing seat to the fixing object. This utilizes the inner wall space of the fixing seat, making the overall fixing structure more compact.

[0025] In the tenth technical solution, the shower adopts the fixed structure described in any one of the first to ninth technical solutions, which has the corresponding technical effect. The first pipe passes through the elastic open ring and is sealed and inserted into the second pipe, which not only prevents water leakage but also facilitates the adjustment of the first pipe relative to the second pipe.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The figure shows a front view and an exploded view of the fixing structure in this embodiment. As shown, the fixing structure in this embodiment includes a fixing base 1, an elastic open ring 2, a fastener 3, and a connector 4. The elastic open ring 2 is adapted to be sleeved on the outside of the first tube and accommodated inside the fixing base 1. The fastener 3 is threadedly engaged with the fixing base 1 and is adapted to abut against or disengage from the elastic open ring 2 to tighten or loosen the first tube. In other embodiments, the fastener 3 and the fixing base 1 can be connected by other methods in the art to enable the fastener 3 to move relative to the fixing base 1 to abut against or disengage from the elastic open ring 2, such as a snap-fit ​​engagement method - the fastener 3 is adapted to pass through the wall of the fixing base 1 to abut against the elastic open ring 2 and rotate relative to the fixing base 1 to snap onto the inner wall of the fixing base 1. One end of the connector 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing base 1, and the other end of the connector 4 is fixed to a wall or other fixed object.

[0048] See Figure 3-5The figures show a perspective view, a transverse sectional view, and a longitudinal sectional view of the fixing seat 1 in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the fixing seat 1 is T-shaped and has a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 that are perpendicular to each other and connected. The first cavity 11 is suitable for accommodating the elastic open ring 2. The first cavity 11 is divided into upper and lower sections with the same center line. The inner diameter of the upper section is smaller than that of the lower section. The cavity wall at the upper end of the upper section extends radially to form a first stop surface 111. The cavity wall of the upper section has an axial groove 112. The upper section and the lower section are adjacent to each other to form a second stop surface 113. The cavity wall at the lower end of the lower section has a relief groove. The relief groove is inclined from the inside to the outside along the axial direction to form a second guide slope 114.

[0049] The cavity wall of the second cavity 12 is provided with a first threaded hole 121 and a second threaded hole 122 penetrating through the cavity wall. The first threaded hole 121 is adapted to be threadedly engaged with the fastener 3 so that the fastener 3 abuts against or disengages from the elastic open ring 2. In this embodiment, the fastener 3 is a set screw. In other embodiments, the fastener 3 may be a screw-like structure.

[0050] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 A perspective view of connector 4 in this embodiment is shown. As shown, connector 4 includes a T-shaped connecting post and a cover. The base of the T-shaped connecting post is fixed to the wall. In this embodiment, it is fixed to the wall with expansion screws. The other end of the T-shaped connecting post is provided with an annular groove 41. The T-shaped connecting post is adapted to pass through the cover and extend into the second cavity 12. A screw passes through the second threaded hole 122 and abuts against the annular groove 41, thereby fixing the fixing seat 1 relative to connector 4 along the axial direction of the second cavity 12. One end of the cover covers the base of the T-shaped connecting post and abuts against the surface of the wall. The other end of the cover abuts against the bottom wall of the second cavity 12. The friction between the cover and the bottom wall of the second cavity 12 causes the fixing seat 1 to be fixed relative to connector 4 in the circumferential direction. Thus, the fixing seat 1 is fixed to connector 4.

[0051] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 The figure shows a perspective view and a cross-sectional view AA of the elastic open ring 2 in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the elastic open ring 2 includes an upper ring 21 and a lower ring 22 on the same center line. A C-shaped gap 23 is provided circumferentially at the connection between the lower end of the upper ring 21 and the upper end of the lower ring 22 to make the upper ring 21 elastic.

[0052] The upper ring 21 is an open ring, and has a first abutting surface 211, which is adapted to abut against the first stop surface 111. The upper ring 21 also includes a first end and a second end, with a gap between the first end and the second end to accommodate deformation. The first end has a protrusion 212, which is adapted to engage with the groove 112 to fix the first end circumferentially relative to the fixing seat 1. In other embodiments, the protrusion 212 can be disposed on the cavity wall of the first cavity 11, and correspondingly, the groove 112 is disposed on the outer wall of the first end. The second end has an abutting portion 213, which is adapted to deform radially to allow the elastic open ring 2 to enter the first cavity 11. When the first abutting surface 211 and the first stop surface 111 abut and engage, the elastic opening ring 2 deforms and recovers to extend into the second cavity 12; moreover, the abutting part 213 is adapted to be abutted or disengaged by the fastener 3 so that the second end approaches or moves away from the first end; when the second end approaches the first end, the elastic opening ring 2 holds the first tube tightly; when the second end moves away from the first end, the elastic opening ring 2 releases the first tube; in this embodiment, the abutting part 213 is provided with a first guide slope 2131, the first guide slope 2131 is inclined from the outside to the inside along the axial direction of the first cavity 11, and the first guide slope 2131 is adapted to engage with the slope of the second guide slope 114 so that the elastic opening ring 2 quickly enters the first cavity 11;

[0053] The lower ring 22 is a closed ring to increase the strength of the elastic open ring 2. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the lower ring 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the upper ring 21, and the upper ring 21 and the lower ring 22 are respectively adapted to the upper and lower sections of the first cavity 11. When the elastic open ring 2 is housed in the first cavity 11, the upper ring 21 is placed in the upper section of the first cavity 11, and the lower ring 22 is placed in the lower end of the first cavity 11. The upper end of the lower ring 22 forms an annular step 221, which is suitable for the first tube to pass through to connect the second tube. The upper surface of the annular step 221 is suitable for abutting the second stop surface 113, and the lower surface of the annular step 221 is suitable for the second tube to abut.

[0054] See Figure 2 , Figure 9-10 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The transverse and longitudinal sectional views of the fixing structure in this embodiment are shown. As shown, during assembly, when the protrusion 212 is aligned with the groove 112 and force is applied to fit the fixing seat 1 into the elastic open ring 2, the first guide slope 2131 and the second guide slope 114 engage, causing the abutment part 213 to deform radially along the first cavity 11 and move into the first cavity 11. Force is continued to be applied until the elastic open ring 2 is completely accommodated in the first cavity 11. At this time, the protrusion 212 and the groove 112 are inserted and engaged, the first abutment surface 211 abuts against the first stop surface 111, the upper surface of the annular step 221 abuts against the second stop surface 113, and the abutment part 213 extends into the second cavity 12.

[0055] At this time, due to the limiting effect of the cavity wall of the second cavity 12 on the abutment portion 213 along the axial direction of the first cavity 11, and the abutment cooperation between the first abutment surface 211 and the first stop surface 111, the elastic open ring 2 is fixed relative to the fixed seat 1 along the axial direction of the first cavity 11 or moves within a limited range; a fastener 3 can also be used to pass through the first threaded hole 121 to abut the abutment portion 213, thereby generating axial friction on the abutment portion 213, and with the abutment cooperation between the first abutment surface 211 and the first stop surface 111, the elastic open ring 2 is fixed relative to the fixed seat 1 along the axial direction; the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the protrusion 212 and the groove 112 causes the first end of the elastic open ring 2 to move along the axial direction of the fixed seat 1. The circumferentially fixed seat 1 is fixed so that when the fastener 3 abuts against the contact part 213, the second end can deform to approach the first end, thereby realizing the elastic open ring 2 hugging the first tube; in addition, the abutting cooperation of the upper surface of the annular step 221 and the second stop surface 113 plays a positioning role for the lower ring 22; next, the base of the T-shaped connecting post is fixed to the cavity wall with expansion screws, the cover passes through the T-shaped connecting post to cover the base, and then the second cavity 12 is aligned and fitted into the T-shaped connecting post, and the second threaded hole 122 is adjusted to align with the annular groove 41. Screws are passed through the second threaded hole 122 and locked into the annular groove 41, thereby fixing the fixed seat 1 to the connector 4.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] In this embodiment, the elastic open ring 2 is sleeved on the outside of the first tube and housed inside the fixed base 1. The first end of the elastic open ring 2 is circumferentially fixed to the fixed base 1, and the second end is provided with an abutment portion 213. There is a gap between the first end and the second end. The fastener 3 is threadedly engaged with the fixed base 1 and is adapted to abut against the abutment portion 213. Thus, when the fastener 3 is rotated to abut against the abutment portion 213, since the first end of the elastic open ring 2 is circumferentially fixed to the fixed base 1 and there is a gap between the first end and the second end, the first end and the second end form a cantilever-like structure to adapt to deformation. Therefore, the second end abuts against the abutment portion. When 213 is subjected to force, it deforms and moves closer to the first end, causing the elastic open ring 2 to apply radial pressure to the first tube, thereby clamping the first tube. When the fastener 3 is rotated to disengage from the abutment 213, the force acting on the abutment 213 is eliminated, and the second end moves away from the first end due to the deformation recovery. The pressure applied radially to the first tube by the elastic open ring 2 is also released, thereby allowing the first tube to be moved in the axial position. Compared with the prior art, the structure of this application is simpler, requiring no additional lifting pipe. The height of the first tube can be adjusted simply by operating the fastener 3, making installation and operation more convenient.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first abutting surface 211 and the first stop surface 111 abut against each other along the axial direction. When the first abutting surface 211 and the first stop surface 111 abut against each other, the abutting part 213 extends into the second cavity 12, so that the elastic open ring 2 is limited along the axial direction by the cavity walls of the first stop surface 111 and the second cavity 12, thereby fixing it relative to the fixed seat 1 along the axial direction or moving it within a limited range, preventing it from coming out of the first cavity 11.

[0059] In this embodiment, the fixing seat 1 is provided with a second cavity 12 to realize the fastener 3 abutting against the elastic open ring 2 and the fixing member fixedly connecting the connector 4, making full use of the internal space of the fixing seat 1 and the structure is simple.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connector 4 extends into the second cavity 12 and is threadedly connected to the cavity wall of the second cavity 12, fixing the fixing seat 1 to the fixing object. The inner wall space of the fixing seat 1 is utilized, making the overall fixing structure more compact.

[0061] In this embodiment, the C-shaped gap 23 forms a cantilever-like structure at the second end to ensure circumferential elasticity, so that when the fastener 3 abuts against the contact portion 213, the second end can deform to approach the first end and thus hold the first tube tightly. The closed lower ring 22 can increase the strength of the elastic open ring 2 to reduce the deformation of the elastic open ring 2.

[0062] In this embodiment, the rotation of the elastic open ring 2 relative to the first cavity 11 is restricted by the snap-fit ​​between the protrusion 212 of the upper ring 21 and the groove 112 on the wall of the first cavity 11. The snap-fit ​​structure is simple and suitable for modular manufacturing.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the elastic open ring 2 is installed into the fixed seat 1, the first guide slope 2131 and the second guide slope 114 cooperate to make the abutment part 213 deform inward in the radial direction to make room while reducing the resistance in the axial direction, so that the elastic open ring 2 can quickly enter the first cavity 11.

[0064] In this embodiment, the inner diameters of the upper ring 21 and the lower ring 22 are different, which facilitates the molding of the elastic open ring 2; the lower surface of the annular step 221 is suitable for the second tube to abut, so that the upper end of the second tube is hidden inside the elastic open ring 2, which is both aesthetically pleasing and provides axial support for the elastic open ring 2.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] See Figure 11 , Figure 12The figure shows a schematic diagram and a partial enlarged view of the shower unit in this embodiment. As shown, the shower unit includes a first pipe, a second pipe, a sealing ring, and the fixing structure in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the first pipe is a bent pipe and the second pipe is a straight pipe. One end of the first pipe opposite to the second pipe has an annular groove. The first pipe is adapted to pass through the elastic open ring 2 and then have the sealing ring fitted on the annular groove to achieve a sealed connection when inserted into the second pipe. One end of the second pipe is adapted to be inserted into the lower ring 22 and abut against the lower surface of the annular step 221, and the other end is connected to the water outlet of the shower unit. In other embodiments, the first pipe and the second pipe can also adopt other commonly used fixing connection methods in the art, such as snap-fit ​​or screw connection.

[0067] During installation, connect the lower end of the second pipe to the water outlet of the shower, loosen the fastener 3, then pass the first pipe through the elastic open ring 2, put the sealing ring into the annular groove, and then insert the first pipe with the sealing ring into the second pipe. Put the lower ring 22 into the outer wall of the second pipe until the lower surface of the annular step 221 and the upper end face of the second pipe abut together. Then fix the connector 4 to the cavity wall of the second cavity 12. Then, according to the user's needs, move the first pipe up and down to adjust it to a suitable height. After adjustment, tighten the fastener 3 so that it abuts against the abutment part 213 so that the second end is close to the first end, thereby the elastic open ring 2 hugs the first pipe.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0069] In this embodiment, the shower adopts the fixed structure in Embodiment 1, which has the corresponding technical effect; the first pipe and the second pipe are sealed and plugged together, which can prevent water leakage at the connection between the first pipe and the second pipe, and also facilitates installation and subsequent use of the lifting and lowering operation of the first pipe relative to the second pipe.
