[0002] Most existing shower fixtures use an integrated design where the shelf and shower rod are combined, with the shelf typically mounted directly onto the shower rod via a bracket or hook. While this approach is visually simple and unified, it presents several significant problems.

[0003] For example, because the shelf and shower rod are structurally tightly connected, this integrated design limits their independence, making the installation and removal of the shelf less flexible. If users need to adjust the position of the shelf or replace the shower rod, they are often constrained by the fixed method and cannot flexibly adjust it according to actual needs.

[0004] Furthermore, the existing single fixing method is prone to causing the shelf and shower rod to tilt or loosen, affecting their usability. Therefore, the existing shower design has obvious shortcomings in terms of functionality and maintainability, failing to improve the flexibility of use, the ease of installation and disassembly, and making daily maintenance more difficult and inconvenient.

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides a shower unit that is easy to use flexibly, including a shelf 1 and a shower rod 2. The shelf 1 includes a housing 3, a faucet valve body 4, and a thermostatic valve body 5 disposed within the housing 3. The shower rod 2 includes a mounting rod 6 with a waist spray 7 and a shoulder spray 8 respectively, and a shower head seat 9 disposed on the mounting rod 6. The housing 3 is provided with a cold water inlet pipe 10 and a hot water inlet pipe 11 connected to the thermostatic valve body 5, and the housing 3 is correspondingly installed on the external wall through the cold water inlet pipe 10 and the hot water inlet pipe 11. The mounting rod 6 is correspondingly locked to the external wall by a fixing bracket 12, and the shelf 1 and the shower rod 2 are configured to be separate from each other. The housing 3 is provided with a lower water outlet 13 connected to the water outlet end of the faucet valve body 4, and the mounting rod 6 is provided with a water inlet 14 and a water outlet 15. The lower water outlet 13 is connected to the water inlet 14 via a hose, and the water outlet 15 is connected to the handheld shower head 16 via another hose. The handheld shower head 16 can be hung on the shower head seat 9. The water outlet 15 is further connected to the shoulder spray 8 and waist spray 7 via internal water channels (the first branch and the second branch mentioned below).

[0027] The aforementioned shower unit, designed for flexible use, solves the problems of limited fixing methods and inflexible installation caused by the separate design of the shelf 1 and the shower rod 2. This allows users to freely choose the wall mounting positions of the shelf 1 and the shower rod 2 according to their actual needs. Furthermore, it makes it easier to adjust the position and angle of each component during installation, thus improving installation flexibility. This not only increases the comfort of using the shower unit but also facilitates later maintenance and cleaning.

[0028] The shelf 1 is connected to the external wall through the cold water inlet pipe 10 and the hot water inlet pipe 11, and the mounting rod 6 is locked to the external wall through the fixing bracket 12. The two are installed relatively independently on their respective walls, which facilitates quick wall installation and fixation, greatly reduces the overall load-bearing capacity, and reduces the difficulty of support and fixation.

[0029] The thermostatic valve body 5 ensures that the water temperature remains constant, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive temperature differences and improving the user experience. The handheld shower head 16 can be easily hung on the shower head holder 9. When using it, it can meet the needs of direct hand showering, and can also meet more comprehensive showering needs through the shoulder spray 8 and waist spray 7 on the mounting rod 6, improving the comfort and convenience of showering.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting rod 6 is equipped with a rotary switch 17, which is used to select whether the water outlet is the waist spray 7, the shoulder spray 8, or the shower head. The rotary switch 17 is located below the waist spray 7. The mounting rod 6 has a first branch and a second branch connected in parallel with the water outlet 15. The first branch connects to the water outlet of the waist spray 7, and the second branch connects to the water outlet of the shoulder spray 8. The rotary switch 17 is used to select either a branch or the water outlet 15 for showering. Clearly, the position of the rotary switch 17 is ergonomically designed, allowing users to easily and intuitively operate the switch when using the waist spray 7 or the shoulder spray 8. This allows for mode switching without requiring excessive hand movement during showering, enhancing the user experience.

[0031] In this embodiment, the shoulder spray 8 is height-adjustable and located on one side of the mounting rod 6, while the shower head seat 9 is height-adjustable and located on the other side of the mounting rod 6. The shower head seat 9 is configured to allow the handheld shower head 16 to swing freely. Clearly, the height adjustment of the shoulder spray 8 and the height adjustment of the shower head seat 9 are both existing sliding lifting structures on the shower rod 2, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the faucet valve body 4 is connected to the mixed water outlet pipe 18 of the thermostatic valve body 5, and one of the water outlets of the faucet valve body 4 is connected to the lower outlet component 13. The lower outlet component 13 outputs thermostatic water from the thermostatic valve body 5 and the faucet valve body 4, which is transmitted to the inlet 14 of the mounting rod 6 through a flexible hose.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer casing 3 is further provided with a lower water outlet 19 formed on its lower end face, and another water passage of the faucet valve body 4 is connected to the lower water outlet 19. Thus, mixed water is output to the faucet valve body 4 through the thermostatic valve body 5, and then the faucet valve body 4 can be operably selected to output water through one water passage to the lower water outlet 19 or the lower water outlet component 13, respectively selecting water to output from the faucet, or to the shoulder spray 8 / waist spray 7 / shower head.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer casing 3 is equipped with a temperature control handle 20 for controlling the thermostatic valve body 5, and multiple push-button switches 21 for controlling the water flow of the faucet valve body 4 to select a specific water path. The combined use of the temperature control handle 20 and the push-button switches 21 allows users to quickly select the water flow mode and temperature, significantly simplifying the operation process. It is understood that the switch handle is located on the valve body and its water flow control, which is a prior art form of valve core control, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The lower water outlet 19 is controlled by one of the push-button switches 21, allowing water to be switched between the lower water outlet 19 and the lower water outlet component 13 by selecting a water path. Preferably, two push-button switches 21 are provided, each controlled by pressing to switch water to the lower water outlet 19 or the lower water outlet component 13, thereby enabling quick switching between water outlets.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
