Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a weld-free shower column. Background Technology
[0002] Shower columns are widely used in shower products, serving as connectors for adjustable shower heads. However, their technology generally has some drawbacks: 1. The connection between the lower straight pipe and the support base requires welding a connecting nut, increasing costs. 2. The connection point between the lower straight pipe and the faucet has screw holes. For aesthetic purposes, these holes are typically required to face the side closest to the wall. However, due to the position of the starting thread of the welding nut, the orientation of the screw holes on the lower straight pipe is not fixed, affecting aesthetics. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a weld-free shower column.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0022] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a weld-free shower column includes a pipe fitting (or a straight lower pipe) 10 and a support base 20. The pipe fitting is provided with a connector 30, and the connector is provided with a buckle 31 on its outer periphery. The support base can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the connector, and the inner peripheral wall of the support base is provided with a groove 21 that can cooperate with the buckle. Through the relationship between the buckle and the groove, the connecting structure is located on the inner periphery of the support base and is not visible.
[0023] Preferably, the connector has a notch 33 on its peripheral sidewall, and a connecting piece 34 is provided at the notch to be positioned between the buckle and the connector. The inner peripheral wall of the support base is recessed inward to form a groove. The connecting piece forms a structure similar to an elastic sheet, and its deformation guides the buckle into the groove. The support base has a first guide surface 22, and the buckle has a second guide surface 32. The first guide surface can cooperate with the second guide surface to guide the buckle from the inner peripheral wall of the support base into the groove.
[0024] Furthermore, the upper end face of the connector is provided with a positioning post 35, and the inner circumference of the support base is provided with a stepped surface 23. The stepped surface is provided with a positioning hole 24 that can cooperate with the positioning post. This can better fix the connector and the support base. In one embodiment, the stepped surface can abut against the upper end face of the connector.
[0025] Furthermore, the connector is fixed to the outer periphery of the pipe fitting. Specifically, a connecting hole 11 is provided on the peripheral wall of the pipe fitting, and an inwardly protruding guide post 36 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the connector, the guide post being compatible with the connecting hole. The guide post is provided with a pair of guide slopes 37 with opposite inclination directions; the upper guide slope slopes downwards towards the center of the connector, and the lower guide slope slopes downwards towards the outer side of the connector. These guide slopes can cooperate with the peripheral wall of the pipe fitting to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the connector and the pipe fitting. The connector is an open ring. When it is necessary to fix the connector to the pipe fitting, the opening of the open ring widens, and the guide slopes engage the guide post into the connecting hole.
[0026] Referring to the attached diagram, a connector is added to the opening of the pipe fitting. A guide post is designed inside the connector's hole. The pipe fitting has two connection holes, and the guide post of the connector mates with these holes for fixation. A buckle is provided on the outside of the connector, and a slot is provided on the support base to which it connects. The buckle of the connector engages with the slot of the support base to prevent it from coming loose.
[0027] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
