[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a shower device with a drying function. (Refer to...) Figure 1The shower device with a drying function includes a guide rail 1, a drive unit, a fan 2, and a shower assembly 3. The drive unit drives the fan 2 to move along the length of the guide rail 1, allowing different parts of the body to be dried. The shower assembly 3 includes a shower element 31 and a switch element 32. The switch element 32 is mounted on the guide rail 1. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the switch element 32 is on the same plane as the outer surface of the guide rail 1, so that the switch element 32 does not protrude from the guide rail 1. This not only improves the aesthetics but also makes better use of the space in the guide rail 1, further improving space utilization.

[0033] A mounting hole is provided on one side of the guide rail 1. The switch 32 is connected to the cold water inlet 4 and the hot water inlet 5 through the mounting hole. In this embodiment, during installation, the cold water inlet 4 and the hot water inlet 5 are embedded into the guide rail 1 through the mounting hole, allowing the guide rail 1 to fit against the wall. The cold water inlet 4 and the hot water inlet 5 are connected to the switch 32 through a flexible hose, which is entirely located within the guide rail 1, further improving space utilization and aesthetics. One end of the shower component 31 is connected to the switch 32, and the other end is used for showering. The showering and drying functions are integrated through the guide rail 1, eliminating the need for two separate devices and improving space utilization. Users also do not need to move back and forth between the shower area and the drying area, improving ease of use.
