Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to water outlet devices, and more particularly to showers. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shower units, especially those with a rising rod, include a rising rod, a switching valve device, a water outlet device, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. The switching valve device is installed inside the rising rod and has an inlet. One end of the inlet pipe connects to a support arm (water supply pipe) fixed to the wall, and the other end connects to the inlet of the switching valve device. The outlet device is installed on the rising rod, and its outlet pipe connects to both the switching valve device and the outlet device. The support arms are all fixed to the wall, and different sizes of shower units are required for support arms of different lengths. To address the aforementioned shortcomings, some solutions have been proposed, such as a shower unit comprising a switching valve assembly, a top spray nozzle, an upper pipe, and a vertical lower pipe. The lower end of the upper pipe is inserted into the upper opening of the lower pipe, and the upper pipe can be height-adjusted relative to the lower pipe. It also includes a shower hose. The upper pipe has a bend at its upper end, with the bend's end opening facing downwards. The shower hose passes through the upper and lower pipes, with one end fixed to the outlet of the switching valve assembly and the other end extending from the bend's opening and fixed to the top spray nozzle. The shower hose has a vertical guide at the end connected to the top spray nozzle, which, in conjunction with the bend, guides the top spray nozzle, preventing it from deviating axially during vertical movement. While this solution addresses the aforementioned shortcomings, it is structurally complex and inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0041] To make the technical solution and features of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only for illustrating this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. After reading this utility model, any modifications of this utility model by those skilled in the art in various equivalent forms fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] refer to Figure 1-16This embodiment provides a shower, including a rain shower cover assembly 1 and a shower support rod 2, wherein the shower support rod 2 includes a vertical section 21 parallel to the mounting wall and an inclined section 22 at a certain angle to the vertical section 21;

[0044] A handheld shower head holder 211 is slidably installed on the side of the vertical section 21. A water inlet connector assembly is installed within the inclined section 22. For this type of shower with an inclined section 22 to be fixed to the wall and to allow water inflow, it needs to be fixedly connected to the support arm fixed to the wall via the water inlet connector assembly 23 located within the inclined section 22. Since the length of the support arm fixed to the wall is fixed, if the position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 on the inclined section 22 is also fixed, the installation position of both is unique. In this case, interference between the rain cover assembly 1 and the bathroom ceiling may occur, causing installation difficulties or even making installation impossible. Furthermore, the length of the support arm installed in different homes may vary. If the position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 on the inclined section 22 is also fixed, it is very likely that installation will be impossible.

[0045] Therefore, an installation adjustment component for the shower unit is required. Specifically, a groove 221 needs to be provided along the length of the inclined section 22, and the water inlet connector assembly 23 is disposed within the inclined section 22. The position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 can be adjusted by sliding it within the groove 221. However, simply moving it along the length of the groove 221 cannot completely solve the installation difficulty problem; sometimes, it is also necessary to fine-tune the position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 along the height of the inclined section 22.

[0046] Therefore, the water inlet connector assembly 23 in this embodiment includes a fixed base 231 and a water inlet connector 232; the water inlet connector 232 is connected to the fixed base 231 and exposed outside the inclined section 22 through the slide groove 221; the water inlet connector assembly 23 also includes an operating member 233 and a limiting member 234 disposed on the fixed base 231; the operating member 233 moves between a first position and a second position under the action of an external force, and the side wall of the inclined section 22 is provided with a limiting fitting member 222 for limiting and cooperating with the limiting member 234; when the operating member 233 is in the first position, the limiting member 234 and the limiting fitting member 222 are limited and cooperated along the height direction and length direction of the slide groove 221; when the operating member 233 is in the second position, the limiting member 234 and the limiting fitting member 222 are released from limiting and cooperation, and the water inlet connector assembly 23 has translational freedom along the height direction and length direction of the slide groove 221.

[0047] The aforementioned shower installation adjustment assembly can simultaneously adjust the position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 in both the length and height directions of the inclined section 22, thereby adapting to different installation environments.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting member 234 and the operating member 233 are reversed in orientation, so that the movement of the operating member 233 along the height direction of the inclined segment 22 is changed to the movement of the limiting member 234 along the width direction of the inclined segment 22. This arrangement facilitates the user's operation and application of force to the operating member 233, and the movement of the limiting member 234 along the width direction of the inclined segment 22 can still be achieved by changing the orientation of the operation, thereby realizing the limiting engagement between the limiting member 234 and the limiting engagement member 222.

[0049] To achieve the aforementioned reversing engagement, in this embodiment, the limiting member 234 and the operating member 233 form a reversing engagement through inclined surface contact. Specifically, the operating member 233 is a clamping nut, and the limiting member 234 consists of two pressure rods distributed on both sides of the bottom of the clamping nut, forming a reversing engagement with the bottom of the clamping nut through inclined surface contact. Thus, when the clamping nut moves from the second position to the first position, that is, when it moves downward along the height direction of the inclined section 22, the inclined surface engagement drives the two pressure rods to move outward, thereby pressing the pressure rods tightly against the limiting engagement member 222. At this time, the friction between the pressure rods and the limiting engagement member 222 causes the pressure rods and the limiting engagement member 222 to be locked in a limiting engagement along the height and length directions of the groove 221. When the clamping nut moves from the first position to the second position, that is, when it moves upward along the height direction of the inclined section 22, the inclined surface fit between the clamping nut and the two pressure rods is released, and the pressure force between the pressure rods and the limiting fit 222 is also released. Therefore, the limiting fit between the pressure rods and the limiting fit 222 is released, and the water inlet connector assembly 23 has translational freedom in the height and length directions along the slide groove 221. The user can then adjust the position of the water inlet connector assembly 23 in both directions. After adjustment, the clamping nut can be moved from the second position to the first position to re-fix the water inlet connector assembly 23.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to allow the pressure rod to engage with the limiting fitting 222, the fixing base 231 is provided with a clearance opening 2311 for the limiting fitting 234 to extend out. Meanwhile, to avoid an unsightly gap between the clearance opening 2311 and the pressure rod, a plug 2312 is provided on the end face of the clearance opening 2311.

[0051] In this embodiment, the limiting fitting member 222 is provided with multiple grooves 2221 along the height direction of the inclined section 22. When the operating member 233 is in the second position, the water inlet connector assembly 23 is moved along the height direction of the slide groove 221 so that the pressure rod corresponds to different grooves 2221. After the operating member 233 is moved to the first position, the pressure rod can be limited and fitted with different grooves 2221, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the water inlet connector assembly 23 in the height direction of the inclined section 22. When the operating member 233 is in the second position, the water inlet connector assembly 23 is moved along the length direction of the slide groove 221 so that the limiting member 234 corresponds to different positions of the grooves 2221. After the operating member 233 is moved to the first position, the pressure rod can be limited and fitted with different positions of the grooves 2221, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the water inlet connector assembly 23 in the length direction of the inclined section 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, the aforementioned limiting fitting 222 is formed within the inclined section 22. A fixing plate 223 is provided within the inclined section 22, and the limiting fitting 222 is provided on the portion of the fixing plate 223 located on the side wall of the inclined section 22. Specifically, the fixing plate 223 is integral, and the fixing plate 223 is fastened to the inclined section 22 by bolts.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] refer to Figures 17-20 In Embodiment 1, when the limiting member 234 moves out of the first position, only the engagement between the limiting member 234 and the limiting mating member 222 is released; the position of the limiting member 234 may not necessarily change. When the inlet connector assembly 23 is subsequently moved, the force between the inlet connector assembly 23 and the limiting member 234 causes the limiting member 234 to retract, thus achieving position adjustment of the inlet connector assembly 23. This inevitably causes jamming and poor feel when initially moving the inlet connector assembly 23. Therefore, in this embodiment, a return spring 235 is fitted over the limiting member 234. The sidewall of the limiting member 234 expands radially outward to form a protruding edge 2341. The return spring 235 abuts against the protruding edge 2341 and the limiting mating member 222. When the limiting member 234 and the limiting mating member 222 are engaged along the height and length directions of the groove 221, the return spring 235 is compressed and accumulates elastic restoring force. When the limiting member 234 moves out of the first position, it will automatically retract due to the elastic restoring force. This prevents interference between the user and the limiting member 234 when the user moves the water inlet connector assembly 23, greatly improving the feel.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] refer to Figure 21The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 or 2 is that the fixing plate 223 in embodiment 1 or 2 is a single piece, while in this embodiment the fixing plate 223 is divided into a bracket 2231 and a plate 2232 disposed on both sides of the width of the bracket 2231. The limiting fitting 222 is provided on the plate 2232. The plate and the bracket 2231 are locked together by set screws, and the bracket 2231 is fastened to the inclined section 22 by bolts.

[0057] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
