Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bathroom technology, and more specifically, to a shower device. Background Technology

[0002] The current installation method for wall-mounted shower units involves first fixing the shower head, then aligning and marking the positioning holes on the shower rod with the wall, drilling holes, and finally securing the shower rod with screws. This method requires a high degree of precision in drilling, and because the shower rods are typically installed at a high position, installation requires standing at a height to secure the shower rod to the wall with screws, which is inconvenient for ordinary consumers in terms of installation and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a shower device, and the technical solution provided by this application can improve the problem of high difficulty in installation, maintenance and operation of wall-mounted showers in related technologies.

[0004] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This application provides a shower device in several embodiments, comprising a showerhead, a shower rod assembly, an inner tube, and an overhead shower head. The showerhead has a water outlet and is configured to be fixed to a wall. One end of the shower rod assembly is connected to the showerhead. At least a portion of the inner tube is disposed inside the shower rod assembly, and one end of the inner tube is connected to the water outlet. Along the direction of gravity, the overhead shower head is located above the showerhead and connected to the other end of the shower rod assembly, and the inlet of the overhead shower head is connected to the other end of the inner tube. The shower device also includes a fixing member configured to be fixed to the wall, and the shower rod assembly is detachably connected to the fixing member.

[0006] This application provides a shower device in some embodiments. The installation method of this shower device involves fixing the showerhead to the wall after it is installed and fixed, then connecting one end of the shower rod assembly to the showerhead and the other end to the fixing component detachably, thus completing the installation and fixing of the shower device. Domestic water can enter the overhead shower head through the outlet pipe and inner pipe, and be sprayed out by the overhead shower head.

[0007] Compared to related technologies that use screws to fix the shower rod to the wall, the above solution uses a fastener on the wall to allow the shower rod assembly to be detachably connected to the fastener. This improves the difficulty of installation caused by the large size and heavy weight of the shower rod, and also facilitates the removal of the shower rod assembly from the fastener, thus making maintenance easier.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the fastener is plugged into the shower rod assembly.

[0009] In the above solution, by setting the fastener and the shower rod assembly to a plug-in fit, the shower rod assembly can be easily removed from the fastener, thus facilitating maintenance.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, the shower rod assembly includes an upper shower rod, a lower shower rod, and an adapter block. The upper shower rod is vertically mounted on the lower shower rod via the adapter block. A top shower head is mounted on the upper shower rod at the end away from the adapter block. The lower shower rod at the end away from the adapter block is connected to the shower head. The adapter block has a slot, and at least a portion of the fastener is inserted into the slot.

[0011] In the above solution, on the one hand, the shower rod assembly includes an upper shower rod, a lower shower rod, and an adapter block, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the shower rod assembly and form a right-angle structure so that the overhead shower head is located directly above the shower, meeting the user's needs; on the other hand, by forming a slot on the adapter block, the shower rod assembly and the fixing parts can be detachably connected, thereby quickly removing the entire shower rod assembly from the wall.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, the fastener is sheet-shaped and includes a first part and a second part connected to each other. Along the direction of gravity, the second part is away from the shower relative to the first part. The first part is configured to be fixed to the wall. Along the thickness direction of the fastener, the second part protrudes from the first part and is inserted into a slot.

[0013] In the above solution, the fastener is plate-shaped, lightweight, and easy for consumers to install on the wall. Furthermore, by setting the fastener into a first and second part offset along its thickness, the second part can be easily inserted into the adapter block to support the shower rod assembly, thus achieving the installation and fixation of the shower rod assembly.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this application, the first part is formed with at least one through hole for the connecting member to pass through in order to be fixed to the wall.

[0015] In the above solution, at least one through hole is formed in the first part so that at least one connecting member can pass through the through hole to fix the entire fastener to the wall.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the number of inner tubes is at least two, and the shower device further includes a switching mechanism. At least a portion of the switching mechanism is disposed inside the shower rod assembly, and the at least two inner tubes are connected to the water outlet pipe through the switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is used to connect the water outlet pipe to one of the at least two inner tubes.

[0017] In the above solution, the overhead shower head has multiple water spray functions, each corresponding to a specific inner pipe. Water flows through the corresponding inner pipe into the overhead shower head to achieve the desired water spray function. A switching mechanism allows for the switching of the water flow path within the shower device, directing the water flowing from the outlet pipe to the desired inner pipe.

[0018] According to some embodiments of this application, the switching mechanism has a water inlet tank, with the opening of the water inlet tank facing downwards along the direction of gravity, and the water outlet pipe facing upwards. The water outlet pipe is inserted into the water inlet tank, and the switching mechanism is supported on the shower.

[0019] In the above scheme, the water inlet tank and the water outlet pipe of the switching mechanism are arranged opposite each other along the direction of gravity. The switching mechanism can be inserted and matched with the water outlet pipe in the direction of gravity. When inserted into place, the switching structure is supported on the shower, which enables the shower rod assembly to have a stable and reliable posture under the support of the shower and the fixation of the fastener.

[0020] According to some embodiments of this application, the wall of the switching mechanism has a perforation that connects to the water inlet groove. The shower rod assembly has a notch, with the perforation exposed to allow a connector to pass through and abut against the water outlet pipe, thereby fixing the shower rod assembly to the shower.

[0021] In the above solution, by setting a perforation in the wall of the switching mechanism and exposing the notch of the shower rod assembly, the switching mechanism (i.e., the shower rod assembly) and the water outlet assembly are fixed by inserting a connector into the perforation and abutting against the water outlet assembly after the switching mechanism and the water outlet pipe are connected in place.

[0022] According to some embodiments of this application, the switching mechanism includes a water-passing block, a water-distributing plate, and an actuator. The water-passing block has an inlet groove and multiple outlet grooves. Each outlet groove corresponds to an inner pipe, and the inner pipe is connected to the corresponding outlet groove. The water-passing block forms a receiving groove, which is provided with multiple independent water cavities. Each water cavity corresponds to an outlet groove, and each water cavity has a water-passing hole that is connected to the corresponding outlet groove. The inlet groove is connected to each water cavity. The water-distributing plate is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove and partially closes the water-passing hole to allow the outlet pipe to be connected to one of the at least two inner pipes. The actuator is used to drive the water-distributing plate to rotate.

[0023] Compared to the solution of embedding a valve core in the shower rod in related technologies, the above solution uses a water distribution plate to switch the water spray of the overhead shower, which has the advantages of low cost and simple maintenance.

[0024] According to some embodiments of this application, the actuator includes a handwheel and a water sealing plate. The water distribution plate includes a body and a rotating shaft. The body has a water distribution hole, which is arranged opposite to the water outlet trough to guide the water chamber and the corresponding water outlet trough. The water sealing plate is located on the side of the body away from the water outlet hole. The rotating shaft passes through the water sealing plate and is connected to the handwheel for transmission.

[0025] In the above scheme, by setting a handwheel and a water sealing plate, the water distribution plate can be effectively driven to rotate and the risk of water leakage can be reduced.

[0026] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Optionally, the shower rod assembly 20 may further include an adapter block 23, which is used to connect the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21 so that the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21 can be perpendicular to each other. It should be noted that the materials of the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21 include, but are not limited to, metal materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, or they may also be made of plastic or other polymer materials. The materials of the adapter block 23 include, but are not limited to, metal materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, or they may also be made of plastic or other polymer materials. For example, the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21 are respectively manufactured by bending or rolling sheet metal. By setting the adapter block 23 to connect the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21, the manufacturing difficulty of the shower rod assembly 20 can be effectively reduced, thus forming a structure as described above. Figure 1 , Figure 3 The structural component shown is shaped like the number "7".

[0052] The inner pipe 30 is a pipe structure used to connect the water outlet pipe 11 and the overhead shower head 40. In some embodiments, the inner pipe 30 can be a plastic pipe. Optionally, the inner pipe 30 can be a one-piece structure, for example, the inner pipe 30 is a flexible hose, with one end connected to the water outlet pipe 11 and the other end connected to the overhead shower head 40. It can also be a split structure. For an example, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 The adapter block 23 has a flow channel inside. The inner pipe 30 includes a first pipe fitting 31 and a second pipe fitting 32.

Optionally, the fixing member 50 has a strong magnetic structure, allowing the shower rod assembly 20 to be magnetically attached to the fixing member 50.

[0057] Some embodiments of this application provide a shower device 100. The shower device 100 can be installed by first fixing the shower head 10 to the wall using a fixing member 50, then connecting one end of the shower rod assembly 20 to the shower head 10 and detachably connecting the other end to the fixing member 50, thus completing the installation and fixing of the shower device 100. Domestic water can enter the overhead shower head 40 through the outlet pipe 11 and inner pipe 30, and be sprayed out by the overhead shower head 40.

[0058] Compared to related technologies that fix the shower rod to the wall with screws, the above solution, by setting a fastener 50 on the wall, allows the shower rod assembly 20 to be detachably connected to the fastener 50. This not only improves the problem of difficult installation caused by the large size and heavy weight of the shower rod, but also facilitates the removal of the shower rod assembly 20 from the fastener 50, thus making maintenance easier.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The fastener 50 is inserted into the shower rod assembly 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, a portion of the fastener 50 is fixed to the wall, and another portion can be inserted into the shower rod assembly 20 to support the shower rod assembly 20.

[0061] Optionally, a slot 230 is formed on the side of the lower shower rod 22 facing the wall, into which a portion of the fastener 50 can be inserted.

[0062] Optionally, the upper shower rod 21 has a slot 230 formed on the side facing the wall, into which a portion of the fastener 50 can be inserted.

[0063] Optionally, the adapter block 23 has a slot 230 formed on the side facing the wall, and a portion of the fastener 50 is inserted into the slot 230.

[0064] In the above solution, by setting the fastener 50 and the shower rod assembly 20 to a plug-in fit, the shower rod assembly 20 can be easily removed from the fastener 50, thus facilitating maintenance.

[0065] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shower rod assembly 20 includes an upper shower rod 21, a lower shower rod 22, and an adapter block 23. The upper shower rod 21 is vertically mounted on the lower shower rod 22 via the adapter block 23. The overhead shower head 40 is located at the end of the upper shower rod 21 away from the adapter block 23. The end of the lower shower rod 22 away from the adapter block 23 is connected to the shower head 10. The adapter block 23 forms a slot 230, and at least a portion of the fixing member 50 is inserted into the slot 230.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The adapter block 23 has a slot 230 formed on the side opposite to the top shower head 40, and the slot 230 is exposed to the outside of the upper shower rod 21 and the lower shower rod 22 so that at least part of the fastener 50 can be inserted.

[0067] In the above solution, on the one hand, the shower rod assembly 20 includes an upper shower rod 21, a lower shower rod 22, and an adapter block 23, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the shower rod assembly 20 and form a right-angle structure so that the overhead shower head 40 is located directly above the shower 10, meeting the user's needs; on the other hand, by forming a slot 230 on the adapter block 23, the shower rod assembly 20 and the fixing member 50 can be detachably engaged, thereby quickly removing the entire shower rod assembly 20 from the wall.

[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The fastener 50 is plate-shaped and includes a first part 51 and a second part 52 that are connected to each other. Along the direction of gravity, the second part 52 is away from the shower 10 relative to the first part 51. The first part 51 is configured to be fixed to the wall. Along the thickness direction of the fastener 50, the second part 52 protrudes from the first part 51 and is inserted into the slot 230.

[0069] Along the direction of gravity, the fastener 50 includes a first part 51 and a second part 52 that are connected to each other. Along the thickness direction of the fastener 50, the second part 52 protrudes from the first part 51, that is, when the first part 51 is fixed to the wall, the second part 52 protrudes relative to the wall to form a gap with the wall, which can accommodate a portion of the adapter block 23, so that the second part 52 can be inserted into the slot 230 of the adapter block 23.

[0070] When installing the shower rod assembly 20, the shower rod assembly 20 can be inserted and mated with the fastener 50 from top to bottom.

[0071] In the above solution, the fastener 50 is plate-shaped and lightweight, making it easy for consumers to install the fastener 50 on the wall. Furthermore, by setting the fastener 50 into a first part 51 and a second part 52 offset along its thickness direction, the second part 52 can be easily inserted into the adapter block 23 to support the shower rod assembly 20, thus achieving the installation and fixation of the shower rod assembly 20.

[0072] According to some embodiments of this application, the first part 51 is formed with at least one through hole for the connecting member to pass through in order to be fixed to the wall.

[0073] For example, the first portion 51 of the fastener 50 is formed with a through hole through which a screw passes to secure the fastener 50 to the wall. In some embodiments, there are two through holes, so that the fastener 50 can be secured to the wall by two screws.

[0074] In the above scheme, at least one through hole is formed on the first part 51 so that at least one connecting member can pass through the through hole to fix the entire fastener 50 to the wall.

[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, the number of inner tubes 30 is at least two, and the shower device 100 also includes a switching mechanism 60. At least a portion of the switching mechanism 60 is disposed inside the shower rod assembly 20, and the at least two inner tubes 30 are connected to the water outlet pipe 11 through the switching mechanism 60. The switching mechanism 60 is used to connect the water outlet pipe 11 to one of the at least two inner tubes 30.

[0076] In some embodiments, the overhead shower head 40 has multiple water spray functions, including but not limited to high-pressure water, shower water, mist water, or other water spray functions. Each water spray function corresponds to one inner pipe 30.

[0077] The switching mechanism 60 is a structural component that is at least partially installed inside the shower rod assembly 20. Under human control, the switching mechanism 60 can connect the water outlet pipe 11 with one of the multiple inner pipes 30 to switch the water flow.

[0078] Optionally, the switching mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower shower rod 22, for example, by screws. The control portion of the switching mechanism is exposed outside the lower shower rod 22 to allow the user to control the switching mechanism to change the water flow.

[0079] Optionally, please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal water flow structure of the shower device 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5Enlarged view at point B. There are two inner pipes 30, including a first inner pipe 33 and a second inner pipe 34. The first inner pipe 33 and the second inner pipe 34 are respectively connected to the switching mechanism 60. By switching the mechanism 60, the water flow of the outlet pipe 11 can be directed to the first inner pipe 33 or the second inner pipe 34, so as to switch the water spray function of the top spray shower head 40.

[0080] In the above solution, the overhead shower head 40 has multiple water spray functions, each corresponding to an inner pipe 30. That is, water flows through the corresponding inner pipe 30 into the overhead shower head 40 to obtain the corresponding water spray function. Among them, by setting a switching mechanism 60, the water flow path inside the shower device 100 can be switched to guide the water flowing out of the outlet pipe 11 into the required inner pipe 30.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The switching mechanism 60 has a water inlet 610. Along the direction of gravity, the opening of the water inlet 610 is set downwards, and the water outlet pipe 11 is set upwards. The water outlet pipe 11 is inserted into the water inlet 610, and the switching mechanism 60 is supported on the shower 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, the water inlet tank 610 is a part that connects to the internal flow channel of the switching mechanism 60. In some embodiments, the water outlet pipe 11 is inserted into the water inlet tank 610 to provide water flow to the internal flow channel of the switching mechanism 60. Under human control, the internal structural components of the switching mechanism 60 guide the water flow in the internal flow channel to one of the inner pipes 30 to realize the switching of water flow.

[0083] In some embodiments, the user assembles the shower rod assembly 20 from top to bottom, such that the water inlet 610 of the switching mechanism 60 in the lower shower 10 is inserted into the water outlet pipe 11, while the adapter block 23 is inserted into the fixing block.

[0084] In the above scheme, the water inlet 610 of the switching mechanism 60 and the water outlet pipe 11 are arranged opposite each other in the direction of gravity. The switching mechanism 60 can be inserted and cooperated with the water outlet pipe 11 in the direction of gravity. When inserted into place, the switching structure is supported on the shower 10, which enables the shower rod assembly 20 to have a stable and reliable posture under the support of the shower 10 and the fixation of the fixing member 50.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is an exploded perspective view of the lower shower rod 22 and the switching mechanism 60 in some embodiments of this application.

[0086] The wall of the switching mechanism 60 has a perforation 611 that connects to the water inlet 610. The shower rod assembly 20 has a notch, through which the perforation 611 is exposed to allow the connector to pass through and to abut against the water outlet pipe 11, thereby fixing the shower rod assembly 20 to the shower 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, the connector may be a screw 70. The screw 70 may be threaded into the wall of the through hole 611, and by turning the screw 70 so that the head of the screw 70 can abut against the circumferential surface of the water outlet pipe 11 located in the water inlet tank 610, the switching mechanism 60 is fixed to the water outlet pipe 11.

[0088] In some embodiments, a nut 71 is provided in the through hole 611, and the nut 71 is threadedly engaged with the connector, i.e., the screw 70.

[0089] In the above solution, by providing a perforation 611 in the wall of the switching mechanism 60 and exposing the notch of the shower rod assembly 20, after the switching mechanism 60 and the water outlet pipe 11 are connected in place, the switching mechanism 60 (i.e., the shower rod assembly 20) and the water outlet pipe assembly are fixed by inserting a connector into the perforation 611 and abutting against the water outlet pipe 11.

[0090] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The switching mechanism 60 includes a water-passing block 61, a water-distributing plate 62, and an actuator. The water-passing block 61 has an inlet groove 610 and multiple outlet grooves 612. Each outlet groove 612 corresponds to an inner pipe 30, and the inner pipe 30 is connected to the corresponding outlet groove 612. The water-passing block 61 forms a receiving groove 613, which is provided with multiple independent water cavities. Each water cavity corresponds to an outlet groove 612. Each water cavity forms a water passage hole 616 and is connected to the corresponding outlet groove 612 through the water passage hole 616. The inlet groove 610 is connected to each water cavity. The water-distributing plate 62 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 613, and partially closes the water passage hole 616 so that the outlet pipe 11 is connected to one of the at least two inner pipes 30. The actuator is used to drive the water-distributing plate 62 to rotate.

[0091] The water flow block 61 is the main structural component of the switching mechanism 60. The water flow is guided by the water distribution plate 62 in the water flow block 61 to the required inner pipe 30.

[0092] For example, the water-passing block 61 is formed with a receiving groove 613, and multiple independent water chambers are formed in the receiving groove 613 by partitions. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6There are two water chambers, including a first water chamber 614 and a second water chamber 615. The first water chamber 614 corresponds to the first inner pipe 33, and the second water chamber 615 corresponds to the second inner pipe 34. There are two water outlet tanks 612, one of which corresponds to the first water chamber 614 and is connected to the first inner pipe 33, and the other corresponds to the second water chamber 615 and is connected to the second inner pipe 34.

[0093] Please see Figure 6 The arrows indicate the direction of water flow. After flowing out of the outlet pipe 11, the water can enter the first water chamber 614 and the second water chamber 615. The function of the water distribution plate 62 is to block the water passage hole 616 of the corresponding water chamber, so that the water flows to the water passage hole 616 of the other water chamber. For example, the water distribution plate 62 blocks the water passage hole 616 of the second water chamber 615, and the water flows through the water passage hole 616 of the first water chamber 614 into the corresponding water outlet 612, and then through the first inner pipe 33 into the top spray shower head 40. The water distribution plate 62 blocks the water passage hole 616 of the first water chamber 614, and the water flows through the water passage hole 616 of the second water chamber 615 into the corresponding water outlet 612, and then through the second inner pipe 34 into the top spray shower head 40.

[0094] The water distribution plate 62 is a structural component that is rotatably mounted on the receiving tank 613. The function of the water distribution plate 62 is to block part of the water passage hole 616 so that the water flows through the unblocked water passage hole 616 into the corresponding water outlet tank 612 and then into the corresponding inner pipe 30.

[0095] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 622 is provided between the bottom of the water distribution plate 62 and the receiving groove 613, thereby improving the sealing effect of the water distribution plate 62 on the water passage hole 616.

[0096] The actuator is a structural component that connects to the water distribution plate 62, allowing the user to drive the water distribution plate 62 to rotate and switch the water spray function. In some embodiments, the actuator can be a lever, water wheel, or other structural component.

[0097] Compared to the solution of embedding a valve core in the shower rod in related technologies, the above solution uses a switching mechanism 60 to switch the water spray of the overhead shower head 40 through a water distribution plate 62, which has the advantages of low cost and simple maintenance.

[0098] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The actuator includes a handwheel 63 and a water sealing plate 64. The water distribution plate 62 includes a body 620 and a rotating shaft 621. The body 620 has a water distribution hole, which is arranged opposite to the water outlet 612 to guide the water chamber and the corresponding water outlet 612. The water sealing plate 64 is located on the side of the body 620 away from the water passage 616. The rotating shaft 621 passes through the water sealing plate 64 and is connected to the handwheel 63 for transmission.

[0099] In some embodiments, the sealing plate 64 can be fixed to the water passage block 61 with screws to form a closed space with the receiving groove 613, so that the body 620 of the water distribution plate 62 is in the closed space, reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0100] The main body 620 of the water distribution plate 62 passes through the water sealing plate 64 and is connected to the handwheel 63 for transmission. The rotation of the handwheel 63 realizes the rotation of the main body 620 of the water distribution plate 62, thereby connecting the water distribution hole with part of the water passage hole 616, and connecting the water outlet pipe 11 with this part of the water passage hole 616, so that the main body 620 seals the remaining part of the water passage hole 616.

[0101] It should be noted that the handwheel 63 is equipped with a cover plate 630, which covers the handwheel 63.

[0102] It should be noted that a transmission part 631 is provided between the handwheel 63 and the rotating shaft 621. The transmission part 631 is connected to the rotating shaft 621, and the side of the transmission part 631 facing away from the rotating shaft 621 is engaged with the handwheel 63.

[0103] In the above scheme, by setting the handwheel 63 and the water sealing plate 64, the water distribution plate 62 can be effectively driven to rotate and the risk of water leakage can be reduced.

[0104] It should be noted that this application provides a shower device 100; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 .

[0105] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the shower 10 is installed at the bottom, and the overhead shower head 40 is installed at the top via a shower rod assembly 20. The shower rod assembly 20 includes an upper shower rod 21 and a lower shower rod 22, which are perpendicularly arranged to each other via a transition block 23. An inner tube 30 is installed inside the shower rod assembly 20, and the inner tube 30 is connected to the shower 10 and the overhead shower head 40. The lower shower rod 22 is equipped with a switching mechanism 60, which includes a water-passing block 61, a handwheel 63, and a water distribution plate 62. The handwheel 63 controls the water distribution plate 62 to switch the water path.

[0106] like Figure 6 As shown, the water flows through the outlet pipe 11 and is switched by the switching mechanism 60 to control the water flow to enter the first inner pipe 33 through the water passage 616 of the first water chamber 614, or enter the second inner pipe 34 through the water passage 616 of the second water chamber 615.

[0107] like Figure 4As shown, the top of the lower shower rod 22 and the upper shower rod 21 are equipped with an adapter block 23, which is connected to the inner tube 30; at the same time, the adapter block 23 is used to fix it to the fixing member 50; the fixing member 50 is a fixing plate, which is a metal plate with two parts offset from each other, and the fixing plate has at least one through hole to be fixed to the wall by screws;

[0108] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the lower shower rod 22 is provided with a water passage block 61, and the water passage block 61 is provided with a nut. The screw cooperates with the nut, and the end of the screw abuts against the water outlet pipe 11 to fix the shower 10 and the lower shower rod 22.

[0109] In the shower device 100 provided in this application, after the shower 10 is installed and fixed, the installation position of the fixing part 50 is determined after the alignment drilling is performed. After the fixing part 50 is installed, the shower rod assembly 20 is inserted into the fixing plate and the water outlet pipe 11 (cylinder) from top to bottom. Then, the water outlet pipe 11 and the water passage block 61 are locked with screws to complete the fixing.

[0110] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
