Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathing technology, and in particular to a side button slide mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The slide can move up and down along the lifting rod to adjust the height of the shower head. In existing patents, Chinese patent application number 202022424472.3 discloses a slide mechanism and lifting rod assembly. The slide mechanism includes a main body unit and a top-stopping mechanism. The top-stopping mechanism includes an operating mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a locking unit, and an elastic body. The locking unit is slidably connected to the main body unit. The elastic body cooperates with the top-stopping mechanism to generate a top-stopping force and positions the main body unit through this force. The transmission mechanism includes a push block and a swing block swaying on the main body unit. The push block abuts against the swing block to drive the swing block to swing. The operating mechanism is driven by the push block to drive its swing. The swing block is driven by the locking unit to slide.

[0003] Furthermore, Chinese patent application number 202322848785.5 discloses a lifting slide, which includes a slide body, a positioning member, a return spring, a pressing member, and a lever member. The positioning member is movably fitted to the slide body, and the two ends of the return spring abut against the positioning member and the slide body respectively. The pressing member is movably fitted to the slide body and is linked to the positioning member through the lever member. The lever member is rotatably connected to the slide body, and the two ends of the lever member are respectively provided with a driving part and a connecting part. The distance between the driving part of the lever member and the rotation center of the lever member is less than the distance between the connecting part of the lever member and the rotation center of the lever member. The driving part is linked to the positioning member, and the connecting part is linked to the pressing member.

[0004] Both patent documents disclose the use of a lever linkage structure to achieve transmission. Although it can achieve a large transmission ratio, the two adjacent transmission components are in a contacting fit, which is inconvenient to assemble and prone to disengagement, thus easily leading to malfunctions / failures.

[0005] Therefore, the defects are very obvious, and a solution is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a side button slide mechanism.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A side-mounted button slide mechanism includes a lifting rod, a stop pad, a T-shaped slide, a first elastic element, a T-shaped pressure plate, a movable block, a housing, a sliding block, a second elastic element, a button, and a third elastic element. The lifting rod is provided with a T-shaped groove. One end of the T-shaped slide is slidably disposed within the T-shaped groove, and the other end of the T-shaped slide is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. The T-shaped pressure plate is movably disposed within the inner hole of the T-shaped slide. The stop pad is installed at one end of the T-shaped pressure plate, corresponding to one side wall of the T-shaped groove. The middle part of the T-shaped pressure plate slides through one side wall of the housing. The first elastic element is sandwiched between the housing and the T-shaped pressure plate. The movable block is installed at the other end of the T-shaped pressure plate. Located inside the outer casing, one end of the movable block is provided with a first inclined surface. The sliding block is elastically moved inside the outer casing via a second elastic element. The center line of the first elastic element is perpendicular to the center line of the second elastic element. One end of the sliding block is provided with a second inclined surface that abuts against the first inclined surface. The second inclined surface is located between the first inclined surface and an inner wall of the outer casing. The other end of the sliding block is provided with a third inclined surface. The button is elastically disposed on one side of the other end of the outer casing via a third elastic element. The button is provided with a fourth inclined surface that abuts against the third inclined surface. The central axis of the third elastic element is parallel to the central axis of the first elastic element. The stop pad abuts against one side wall of the T-shaped slide groove under the elastic force of the first elastic element.

[0009] Furthermore, a groove is provided at one end of the sliding block, through which a T-shaped pressure plate passes.

[0010] Furthermore, the button is fitted with a press cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the side wall of the housing away from the lifting rod, through which the button extends out of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, a throat seat is installed at the end of the outer casing away from the lifting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a friction plate is provided between the throat seat and the outer shell, allowing the throat seat to rotate and adjust relative to the outer shell.

[0014] Furthermore, a guide post is provided inside the end of the outer casing away from the lifting rod, and a guide hole is provided for the button, with the guide post and the guide hole slidingly engaged.

[0015] Furthermore, the side wall of the outer casing near the lifting rod is recessed with an insert hole, and the end of the T-shaped slide away from the lifting rod is inserted into the insert hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the first elastic element is a locking spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the shaft of the T-shaped pressure plate. One end of the locking spring abuts against the stepped part of the T-shaped pressure plate, and the other end of the locking spring abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0017] Furthermore, a bracket is provided inside the outer casing, the second elastic element is a return spring, a positioning post is provided at the end of the sliding block near the button, one end of the return spring is fitted onto the bracket, and the other end of the return spring is fitted onto the positioning post.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In practical application, initially, the first, second, and third elastic elements are all in an extended state. At this time, the elastic force of the first elastic element is applied to the T-shaped pressure plate, causing the T-shaped pressure plate stop pad to press firmly against one side wall of the T-shaped slide groove, thereby causing the T-shaped slide and the outer shell to stay at the preset height position of the lifting rod. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the T-shaped slide and the outer shell, the user applies lateral pressure to the button, causing the button to move into the outer shell and compress the third elastic element. The fourth inclined surface of the moving button abuts against the third inclined surface of the sliding block, causing the sliding block to move away from the button and compress the second elastic element. The second inclined surface of the moving sliding block abuts against the first inclined surface of the movable block, causing the movable block to move away from the lifting rod. The moving block moves in the direction of the button, causing the T-shaped pressure plate and the stop pad to move into the inner hole of the T-shaped slide. The T-shaped pressure plate compresses the first elastic element, causing the stop pad to separate from the side wall of the T-shaped slide. At the same time, the user applies an upward or downward force to the outer shell, adjusting the T-shaped slide and the outer shell along the T-shaped slide on the lifting rod until they reach the desired height. When the user releases the pressure on the button, the button, sliding block, and T-shaped pressure plate return to their initial state under the elastic recovery and extension of the third, second, and first elastic elements. This ensures that the stop pad is in close contact with one side wall of the T-shaped slide, locking the T-shaped slide and the outer shell at the desired height on the lifting rod. This invention uses the inclined surfaces on the moving block, sliding block, and button to amplify the force and change its direction, making it easier for the user to operate, easier to assemble, more stable in operation, and less prone to malfunction.

[0024] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a side button slide mechanism, which includes a lifting rod 1, a stop pad 2, a T-shaped slide 3, a first elastic element 4, a T-shaped pressure plate 5, a movable block 6, a housing 7, a sliding block 8, a second elastic element 9, a button 10, and a third elastic element 11. The lifting rod 1 is provided with a T-shaped groove 12. One end of the T-shaped slide 3 is slidably disposed in the T-shaped groove 12, and the other end of the T-shaped slide 3 is fixedly connected to one side of one end of the housing 7. The T-shaped pressure plate 5 is movably disposed in the inner hole of the T-shaped slide 3. The stop pad 2 is installed at one end of the T-shaped pressure plate 5, and the stop pad 2 is correspondingly disposed with one side wall of the T-shaped groove 12. The middle part of the T-shaped pressure plate 5 slides through one side wall of the housing 7. The first elastic element 4 is sandwiched between the housing 7 and the T-shaped pressure plate 5. The movable block 6 is installed at the other end of the T-shaped pressure plate 5. The movable block 6 is located inside the outer casing 7. One end of the movable block 6 is provided with a first inclined surface 13. The sliding block 8 is elastically moved inside the outer casing 7 via the second elastic member 9. The center line of the first elastic member 4 is perpendicular to the center line of the second elastic member 9. One end of the sliding block 8 is provided with a second inclined surface 14 that abuts against the first inclined surface 13. The second inclined surface 14 is located between the first inclined surface 13 and an inner wall of the outer casing 7. The other end of the sliding block 8 is provided with a third inclined surface 15. The button 10 is elastically disposed on one side of the other end of the outer casing 7 via the third elastic member 11. The button 10 is provided with a fourth inclined surface 16, which abuts against the third inclined surface 15. The central axis of the third elastic member 11 is parallel to the central axis of the first elastic member 4. The stop pad 2 abuts against one side wall of the T-shaped slide groove 12 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 4.

[0026] In practical applications, initially, the first elastic element 4, the second elastic element 9, and the third elastic element 11 are all in an extended state. At this time, the elastic force of the first elastic element 4 is applied to the T-shaped pressure plate 5, causing the stop pad 2 of the T-shaped pressure plate 5 to press firmly against one side wall of the T-shaped slide groove 12, thereby causing the T-shaped slide 3 and the outer shell 7 to remain at the preset height position of the lifting rod 1. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the T-shaped slide 3 and the outer shell 7, the user applies lateral pressure to the button 10, causing the button 10 to move into the outer shell 7 and compress the third elastic element 11. The fourth inclined surface 16 of the moving button 10 abuts against the third inclined surface 15 of the sliding block 8, causing the sliding block 8 to move away from the button 10 and compress the second elastic element 9. The second inclined surface 14 of the moving sliding block 8 abuts against the first inclined surface 13 of the movable block 6, causing the movable block 6 to move away from the lifting rod 1. The moving block 6 drives the T-shaped pressure plate 5, along with the stop pad 2, to move into the inner hole of the T-shaped slide 3. The T-shaped pressure plate 5 compresses the first elastic element 4, causing the stop pad 2 to separate from the side wall of the T-shaped slide groove 12. At the same time, the user applies an upward or downward force to the outer shell 7, which adjusts the T-shaped slide 3 and the outer shell 7 to rise and fall along the T-shaped slide groove 12 on the lifting rod 1 until the T-shaped slide 3 and the outer shell 7 are adjusted to the desired height position. When the user releases the pressure on the button 10, the button 10, the sliding block 8, and the T-shaped pressure plate 5 return to their initial state under the elastic recovery and extension of the third elastic element 11, the second elastic element 9, and the first elastic element 4. This causes the stop pad 2 to come into close contact with one side wall of the T-shaped slide groove 12, locking the T-shaped slide 3 and the outer shell 7 at the desired height position of the lifting rod 1. This invention uses the inclined surfaces on the movable block 6, the sliding block 8, and the button 10 to amplify the force and change the direction of the force, making it easier for users to operate, convenient to assemble, stable in operation, and less prone to failure.

[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the sliding block 8 is provided with a groove 17, through which the T-shaped pressure plate 5 passes. The moving direction of the sliding block 8 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the T-shaped pressure plate 5. This structural design allows the sliding block 8 to move normally without affecting the movement of the T-shaped pressure plate 5, and makes the structure of the sliding block 8 and the T-shaped pressure plate 5 compact.

[0028] In this embodiment, the button 10 is provided with a pressing cover 18. By adding the pressing cover 18, not only is the user's comfort in pressing the button 10 improved, but the appearance is also made more aesthetically pleasing.

[0029] In this embodiment, a through hole 19 is provided on the side wall of the outer casing 7 away from the lifting rod 1. The button 10 extends out of the outer casing 7 through the through hole 19, and the pressing cover 18 is movably disposed at the through hole 19. This structural design makes it convenient for the user to press the button 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, a throat seat 20 is installed at the end of the outer casing 7 away from the lifting rod 1. The throat seat 20 is used to fix the shower head.

[0031] In this embodiment, a friction plate 21 is provided between the throat seat 20 and the outer shell 7, allowing the throat seat 20 to rotate and adjust relative to the outer shell 7. The friction plate 21 increases the friction between the throat seat 20 and the outer shell 7, enabling the throat seat 20 to be maintained at the desired angle.

[0032] In this embodiment, a guide post 22 is provided inside the end of the outer casing 7 away from the lifting rod 1, and a guide hole 23 is provided on the button 10. The guide post 22 and the guide hole 23 are slidably engaged. When the button 10 moves, the sliding engagement between the guide post 22 and the guide hole 23 improves the movement stability of the button 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side wall of the outer casing 7 near the lifting rod 1 is recessed with an insert hole 24, and the end of the T-shaped slide block 3 away from the lifting rod 1 is fitted into the insert hole 24. This structural design makes the structure of the outer casing 7, the T-shaped slide block 3 and the lifting rod 1 compact, and the outer side wall of the outer casing 7 can fit snugly with the outer side wall of the lifting rod 1, reducing the gap between the outer casing 7 and the lifting rod 1, making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 4 is a locking spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the shaft of the T-shaped pressure plate 5. One end of the locking spring abuts against the stepped portion of the T-shaped pressure plate 5, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the mounting hole 24. This structural design improves the working stability of the first elastic element 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, a bracket 25 is provided inside the outer casing 7, the second elastic element 9 is a return spring, and a positioning post 26 is provided at one end of the sliding block 8 near the button 10. One end of the return spring is fitted onto the bracket 25, and the other end of the return spring is fitted onto the positioning post 26. This structural design not only facilitates the assembly and fixation of the second elastic element 9, but also improves the working stability of the second elastic element 9.

[0036] Specifically, the third elastic element 11 is a compression spring.

[0037] Specifically, the ratio of the moving distance of button 10 to the moving distance of movable block 6 is 5:1. For example, the moving distance of button 10 is set to 5mm and the moving distance of movable block 6 is set to 1mm, so as to achieve a large transmission ratio, achieve the effect of saving effort, and make the feel of pressing button 10 lighter.

[0038] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0039] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
