[0027] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0028] In the discussion below, details are provided to offer a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In certain examples, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail to avoid confusion with the present invention. It should be noted that the terms “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0029] The ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" used in this invention are merely identifiers and have no other meaning, such as a specific order. Furthermore, for example, the term "first component" does not imply the existence of "second component," and the term "second component" does not imply the existence of "first component."

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a shower rod mounting structure, comprising a shower rod body 10. The shower rod body 10 is a long, hollow rod with an open rectangular cross-section. An opening is located on one of the shorter sides of the rectangle, thus forming a U-shaped groove slide rail 11 on one side wall of the shower rod body 10. The opening width of the slide rail 11 is smaller than its bottom width. The slide rail 11 can accommodate a shower rod slide seat (not shown), allowing the slide seat (not shown) to slide on the shower rod body 10. Furthermore, to prevent the slide seat from detaching from the shower rod body 10, two end caps 20 are attached to both ends of the longest side of the shower rod body 10.

[0031] Furthermore, the shower rod body 10 has two mounting holes 12 at both ends on the side facing the wall. These mounting holes 12 are circular or rectangular, preferably circular. The shower rod body 10 can be mounted on two mounting seats 30 through the mounting holes 12. Specifically, each mounting seat 30 has a through hole 32 extending axially, through which the mounting seat 30 can be bolted to the wall. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the mounting seat 30 has an annular groove 31, and the mounting holes 12 can engage with the annular groove 31 to prevent them from detaching from the mounting seat 30, thus ensuring the shower rod body 10 is securely pre-installed on the mounting seat 30.

[0032] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A pin 40 can be engaged with the annular groove 31 of the mounting base 30. The pin 40 securely mounts the shower rod body 10 onto the mounting base 30, preventing the shower rod body 10 from loosening or detaching from the mounting base 30. In this way, the mounting base 30 and the pin 40 are installed inside the shower rod body 10, achieving a concealed installation of the mounting parts. Furthermore, one end of the pin 40 extends two non-crossing elastic arms 41 to the same side. To ensure the rigidity and elasticity of the elastic arms 41, metal elastic arms 41 are preferred. The other end of the pin 40 is provided with a handle 42, and the top of the handle 42 extends radially to one side with a handle cover 421. This allows the pin 40 to be easily pressed onto the mounting base 30 or removed from the mounting base 30. Furthermore, a C-shaped groove 411 is formed between the two elastic arms 41. The maximum diameter of the C-shaped groove 411 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 30. Thus, when the pin 40 is engaged with the mounting base 30, the pin 40 can prevent the shower rod body 10 from detaching from the mounting base 30.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figure 6Two elastic arms 41 extend outwards from the bottom of the C-shaped groove 411 in the same direction, and their inner lines gradually transition from an initial arc to a straight line. Specifically, between the bottom of the C-shaped groove 411 and the opening, i.e., on the inner side of the two elastic arms 41, in the area where the arc transitions to a straight line, two locking points 412 protrude inwards. These two locking points 412 shorten the distance between the two elastic arms 41. When the two elastic arms 41 are engaged with the annular groove 31, the locking points 412 and the annular groove 31 can be tightly abutted, thus firmly engaging the pin 40 with the mounting base 30. To ensure a secure fit between the pin 40 and the annular groove 31 regardless of the angle at which the pin 40 is engaged with the mounting base 30, it is preferable that the minimum diameter of the C-shaped groove 411 is smaller than the diameter of the annular groove 31.

[0034] The installation steps for the above-mentioned shower rod are as follows: First, drill holes in the wall, then fix the mounting base 30 to the wall with bolts. Next, through the mounting holes 12 of the shower rod body 10, snap the shower rod body 10 into the annular groove 31 of the mounting base 30, and then snap the pin 40 into the annular groove 31. Next, install the slide (not shown) on the shower rod body 10, and finally, snap the two end caps 20 onto both ends of the shower rod body 10.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, the shower rod installation structure of this utility model not only has fewer installation parts, simpler part structure, and lower material cost, but also has a simple and convenient installation process and a reliable and stable installation effect. In addition, the mounting base 30 and the pin 40 are installed inside the shower rod body 10, which cleverly realizes the hidden setting of the installation parts, and ultimately makes the overall appearance of the shower rod simple and elegant, bringing people a simple, convenient and quick user experience.
