Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower wall technology. Background Technology

[0002] A shower wall is a false wall panel used to integrate multiple shower devices (such as side sprays, overhead sprays, handheld shower heads, and spray guns). Integrating multiple shower devices onto a shower wall makes the overall modification and assembly of the bathroom shower system very convenient and quick, and it is becoming increasingly popular among consumers.

[0003] Shower walls are fixedly installed on the bathroom wall surface and attached to the wall. The back of the shower wall has water supply pipes for each showerhead. The inlet connector of the water supply pipe connects to the outlet connector pre-embedded in the bathroom wall, thus achieving water circulation. Existing shower walls use a full-circle sealing strip to seal against the wall surface, preventing water from the showerhead from flowing into the gap between the back of the shower wall and the wall surface, thereby preventing mold growth on the water supply pipes and other components located on the back of the shower wall. However, the inventors discovered that in actual use, although the shower wall is sealed with a sealing strip, mold still grows on the water supply pipes and other components on the back of the shower wall after removal, leading to a rapid increase in bacteria.

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model clearer and more understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model and do not limit the utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a kind of shower wall 1 of better embodiment of preventing mildew, shower wall 1 is equipped with shower 2 on the front, the back of shower wall 1 is equipped with water supply pipe 3 for shower 2 and control valve 6 for controlling the on-off of water supply pipe 3.Shower wall 1 includes panel 2 and frame 12 installed on the periphery of panel 2.Sealing strip 4 is partially arranged on the back of frame 12, and frame 12 is sealed with the wall surface through sealing strip 4 except bottom edge 121.

[0026] Specifically, the shower wall 1 of the present embodiment is rectangular, and the sealing strip 4 is generally "∩" shaped (i.e., inverted U-shaped). The three edges of the sealing strip 4 only cooperate with the left edge, the right edge and the top edge of the frame 12 of the shower wall 1, and the bottom edge 121 of the frame 12 does not cooperate with the sealing strip 4. In this way, when the shower wall 1 is attached to the wall surface, a gap for draining water is formed between the back of the bottom edge 121 of the frame 12 and the wall surface, and the condensed water formed by the components (such as the water supply pipe 3 and the control valve 6) in the cavity between the back of the shower wall 1 and the wall surface can be drained through the gap. The condensed water will not accumulate in the cavity, thereby preventing the components on the back of the shower wall from mildewing.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the sealing strip 4 is preferably double-sided tape, which forms a seal through adhesion and has better sealing performance. Preferably, the double-sided tape is adhesively bonded with waterproof adhesive, which has more reliable adhesion effect. The double-sided tape is further preferably made of EVA material.

[0028] The generally "∩" shaped sealing strip 4 can be a complete sealing strip 4 or a plurality of sealing strips 4 spliced together. In the present embodiment, the sealing strip 4 is spliced together by three sections, and the spliced sections do not form a partition.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4The difference between the shower wall 1 of another preferred embodiment of the utility model and the above-mentioned embodiment is that, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the three sealing strips 4 are sequentially and continuously spliced, and the splicing position does not form a partition; in the embodiment, the three sealing strips 4 are sequentially and spacedly spliced, the splicing position is located at the top of the frame and forms a partition 5, and the partition 5 forms an exhaust passage.

[0030] Specifically, in the embodiment, a partition 5 is arranged between the horizontal sealing strip at the top and the two vertical sealing strips in the three sealing strips 4 to form two exhaust passages.

[0031] In other embodiments, in order to guide the adhesion of the sealing strip 4, the installation of the installer is facilitated, preferably, a sealing groove (not shown) is arranged on the back of the frame 12, the sealing strip 4 is embedded in the sealing groove and partially protrudes from the back of the frame 12 to be able to be sealed and adhered to the wall surface. If the partition 5 needs to be formed at the top of the frame 12 to form the exhaust passage, a partition (not shown) can be preferably arranged in the sealing groove at the top of the frame 12, the partition is not covered by the sealing strip 4, and the exhaust passage is formed. This design is accurate for the installation of the installer to ensure that the exhaust passage is formed, which plays a more intuitive guiding role, and can effectively avoid that the three sealing strips 4 are sequentially and continuously spliced and the exhaust passage cannot be formed.

[0032] In some other embodiments, in order to be able to drain the condensed water in the cavity between the back of the shower wall 1 and the wall surface, the following alternative mode (not shown) can also be used: the sealing strip 4 is arranged in a whole circle around the back of the frame 12, the frame 12 is sealed and matched with the wall surface through the sealing strip 4 in a whole circle, and the bottom edge of the frame 12 is provided with a drain hole through which the condensed water is drained. Of course, compared with the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment needs to arrange the sealing strip 4 in a whole circle around the back of the frame 12, the amount of the sealing strip 4 required is more, the cost is higher, and the drain hole needs to be opened in the bottom edge 121 of the frame 12, which is more troublesome to manufacture.

[0033] The utility model discloses a drain hole is set up on the bottom edge of the frame, or the bottom edge of the frame is not sealed and matched with the wall surface by the sealing strip, can make the condensed water of the component (for example water supply pipeline or control valve etc.) in the cavity between the back of the shower wall and the wall surface flow out through the drain hole or the gap between the back of the bottom edge of the frame and the wall surface on the basis that the external water can not enter the cavity between the back of the shower wall and the wall surface, and the condensed water can not gather in the cavity, thereby avoiding the mildew of the back component of the shower wall. The utility model discloses simple structure can effectively avoid or reduce the mildew situation of the back component of the shower wall, greatly reduce the breeding of bacteria in the bathroom space, and improve the user satisfaction.

[0034] The utility model has been described above in conjunction with the drawings, obviously, the utility model specific implementation is not limited by the above mode, as long as various non-essential improvements of method concept and technical scheme of adopting the utility model, or the utility model concept and technical scheme are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, all are within the protection scope of the utility model.
