[0032] Figure 15 for Figure 14 Enlarged view of point D; Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] refer to Figures 1-13This embodiment provides a combination shower head with adjustable shower range, including: a first water outlet terminal 1 and a second water outlet terminal 2. An arm 11 is rotatably connected to the first water outlet terminal 1, and the second water outlet terminal 2 is slidably connected to the arm 11 along the length of the arm 11. Since the second water outlet terminal 2 can slide relative to the arm 11 of the first water outlet terminal 1 and also swing with the arm 11 of the first water outlet terminal 1, the water outlet range adjustment range of the second water outlet terminal 2 is greatly increased.

[0036] While the aforementioned structure allows the second water outlet terminal 2 to slide along the support arm 11, it is also necessary to allow the support arm 11 to stop at any position on it to increase the water outlet adjustment range. In this embodiment, the second water outlet terminal 2 can be suspended at any position on the support arm 11. To achieve this, the support arm 11 is provided with a groove 111 along its length. A slider 112 is placed in the groove 111 and connected to the second water outlet terminal 2. The groove wall of the groove 111 provides friction to the slider 112, allowing the slider 112 to be suspended at any position on the groove 111 when not subjected to external force from the user. When it is necessary to move the slider 112, sufficient external force is applied to overcome this friction.

[0037] Specifically, friction plates 114 are connected to both sides of the slider 112 via springs 113, so that the friction plates 114 are pressed against the side wall of the slide groove 111 by the elastic force of the springs 113. The friction force generated between the friction plates 114 and the slide groove 111 can be adjusted by adjusting the preload of the springs 113. This friction force can be adjusted to allow the second water outlet terminal 2 to hover without causing too much resistance for the user to move the second water outlet terminal 2.

[0038] This only allows the slider 112 to hover relative to the slide groove 111. To allow the second water outlet terminal 2 to also hover at any position, the slider 112 needs to be connected to it. In this embodiment, the second water outlet terminal is magnetically connected to the support arm 11. Of course, common connection methods such as plug-in connections can also be used; the magnetic connection simply makes it easier for the second water outlet terminal 2 to be detached from the support arm 11 and used as a handheld shower head.

[0039] To achieve magnetic attraction, the side of the slider 112 away from the bottom of the slide groove 111 is connected to the slide base plate 116 by bolts 115. The slide base plate 116 and the slide 117 are assembled to form a chamber for accommodating the first magnet 118. A second magnet 21 is provided on the back of the second water outlet terminal 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the support arm 11 is rotatably connected to the first water outlet terminal 1 along the thickness direction of the first water outlet terminal 1. That is, when the user is showering, the second water outlet terminal 2 can swing back and forth relative to the user to change the water outlet range. Specifically, the support arm 11 is rotatably connected to the first water outlet terminal 1 on both sides along the width direction through angle-adjustable mechanisms 119.

[0041] The angle-adjustable mechanism 119 in this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 1191. The first water outlet terminal 1 has a connecting seat 12 through which the rotating shaft 1191 passes. After passing through the connecting seat 12, the rotating shaft 1191 is connected to a nut 1192.

[0042] Similarly, the support arm 11 also needs to hover at any position during its swing. Therefore, the portion of the pivot 1191 located inside the support arm 11 extends radially outward to form a retaining wall 1193. Washers 1194 are respectively provided between the retaining wall 1193 and the inner wall of the support arm 11, and between the inner wall of the support arm 11 and the connecting seat 12. Friction rings 1195 are respectively provided between the washer 1194 and the retaining wall 1193, and between the washer 1194 and the connecting seat 12. The pivot 1191 is connected by a nut 1192, causing the retaining wall 1193 of the pivot 1191 to compress the friction rings 1195. The friction rings 1195 deform under compression, further compressing the washers 1194. This generates friction between the friction rings 1195 and the washers 1194, thus achieving the effect of a damping pivot 1191, allowing it to hover at any position.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first water outlet terminal 1 is fixedly connected to the wall via an inlet support arm 3, and the inlet support arm 3 is connected to the second water outlet terminal 2 via a water outlet hose 31. Thus, the second water outlet terminal 2 can be used as a handheld shower head after being removed from the support arm 11. The first water outlet terminal 1 is connected to the inlet support arm 3 via a ball head 32, and the first water outlet terminal 1 can also rotate relative to the inlet support arm 3 via the ball head 32, thereby adjusting the water outlet angle of the first water outlet terminal 1 and further increasing the range of water outlet adjustment.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first water outlet terminal 1 has a receiving cavity 13, and the second water outlet terminal 2, when sliding along the support arm 11, has a first position placed within the receiving cavity 13. When the second water outlet terminal 2 is in the first position, it can fill the gap in the receiving cavity 13 and, together with the first water outlet terminal 1, form a complete water outlet surface, for example... Figure 4 .

[0045] Example 2

[0046] refer to Figure 14 and 15This embodiment provides another structure for implementing the damping shaft 1191. The portion of the shaft 1191 located inside the support arm 11 extends radially outwards to form a retaining wall 1193. A spring 1195 is disposed between the retaining wall 1193 and the inner wall of the support arm 11. One end of the spring 1195 is connected to the inner wall of the support arm 11 via a washer 1196. A friction plate 1197 is disposed between the outer wall of the support arm 11 and the connecting seat 12. By having the spring 1195 compress the washer 1196 and the support arm 11, the support arm 11 compresses the friction plate 1197, thus increasing the friction between the friction plate 1197 and the connecting seat 12, achieving the effect of damping the shaft 1191.

[0047] 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.
