Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom accessories technology, specifically to a magnetic sliding sleeve and sliding sleeve assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A sliding sleeve is a device that is fitted onto a shower rod to support and position the shower head. For example, Chinese patent ZL202110897858.2 discloses an easy-to-operate sliding base. After being fitted onto the shower rod, the sliding sleeve can slide up and down on the shower rod. A clamping mechanism is provided inside the sliding sleeve to hold the shower rod tightly, thereby securing the sliding sleeve. A hook-on structure is provided on the back of the shower head. Operating a button activates the hook-on structure, allowing the shower head to be attached to or removed from the sliding sleeve.

[0003] The existing technology requires the sliding sleeve to be inserted into or removed from the end of the shower rod, which is inconvenient for installation and replacement. Furthermore, the sliding sleeve uses a hook-and-loop structure to position the shower head, which is relatively complex. Removing it requires pressing an operation button, and any delay in this action can cause a feeling of jamming, which is not user-friendly.

[0004] In view of this, in order to further improve the ease of use and practicality of the sliding sleeve, the applicant conducted in-depth research, which led to this case. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this utility model is to provide a magnetic sliding sleeve and sliding sleeve assembly, which is very convenient and easy to install and use, conforms to user habits, and greatly improves the ease of use and practicality of the sliding sleeve.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A magnetic sliding sleeve includes a sliding sleeve base and a rotating base. The sliding sleeve base has an opening groove for fitting a shower rod, a first end located on both sides of the opening groove, and a second end. The rotating base is rotatably connected to the first end of the sliding sleeve base and is provided with a magnetic attraction structure. The second end of the sliding sleeve base is provided with a handwheel structure, and the sliding sleeve base is provided with a clamping mechanism that works in conjunction with the handwheel structure to clamp or release the shower rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a first inner core and a second inner core. The first inner core has a first half-clamp and a connecting body located on both sides of the opening groove, and an inner core groove formed between the first half-clamp and the connecting body and corresponding to the opening groove. A screw extending from the second end of the sliding sleeve seat is connected to the connecting body, and a threaded groove that mates with the screw is formed on the handwheel structure. The second inner core is sleeved on the connecting body, with the outer end of the second inner core abutting against the handwheel structure, and the inner end of the second inner core forming a second half-clamp that mates with the first half-clamp.

[0009] Furthermore, the first half-clamp has a first inner clamping portion, a first outer clamping portion, and a limiting portion that can be detachably installed between the first inner clamping portion and the first outer clamping portion; the second half-clamp has a second outer clamping portion and a second inner clamping portion that are bifurcated internally and externally.

[0010] Furthermore, a first guide structure is provided between the first inner core and the sliding sleeve seat, and a second guide structure is provided between the first inner core and the second inner core. Both the first guide structure and the second guide structure are sliding grooves and sliding rails that cooperate with the sliding grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotatable connection structure is provided between the rotating seat and the sliding sleeve seat. The rotatable connection structure includes a friction ring, a friction bushing, and screws. A connecting hole is formed at the first end of the sliding sleeve seat. The friction bushing is disposed between the rotating seat and the connecting hole and is locked by screws. The friction ring is embedded in the rotating seat, and the first end of the sliding sleeve seat is sandwiched between the friction ring and the friction bushing.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnetic attraction structure includes a first magnetic attraction element disposed on the rotating seat and an annular body protruding from the periphery of the first magnetic attraction element, the end of which is formed with a retaining ring.

[0013] A sliding sleeve assembly includes a magnetic sliding sleeve and a shower head; the magnetic structure includes a first magnetic element disposed on the movable seat and an annular body protruding from the periphery of the first magnetic element, and a retaining ring is formed at the end of the annular body.

[0014] The back of the shower head has an annular groove that engages with the annular body when magnetically attracted, and a second magnetic member located at the center of the annular groove that corresponds to and engages with the first magnetic member.

[0015] The annular groove is equipped with a locking seat that can move radially. The locking seat has an inner stop arm and an outer locking arm corresponding to the inner and outer walls of the annular groove. A locking groove is formed between the inner stop arm and the outer locking arm to accommodate the retaining ring and to axially limit the retaining ring by the outer locking arm. The locking groove has a deformation opening for the retaining ring to abut, deform, and embed.

[0016] The inner diameter of the deformation port projected axially is smaller than the radial width of the retaining ring, and the radial width of the retaining ring is smaller than the groove width of the annular groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer locking arm end has a locking head for axially defining the retaining ring. The locking head is axially higher than the inner locking arm end, and the locking head and the inner locking arm end form the deformation opening. The deformation opening is a slanted structure with the inner side lower than the outer side.

[0018] Furthermore, the locking seat has a first position of radially upward inward displacement and a second position of radially upward outward displacement; in the first position, the inner locking arm moves outside the annular groove and the locking head extends at least partially into the annular groove; in the second position, the locking head moves outside the annular groove and the inner locking arm extends at least partially into the annular groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the deformation opening has a guide slope formed at the end of the inner stop arm, with the surface perpendicular to the guide slope as the projection surface, and the distance between the projection of the clamp head and the guide slope on the projection surface is greater than the radial width of the clamp ring.

[0020] Furthermore, the card head has an outer bevel on the surface opposite to the locking groove, and an inner bevel on the surface facing the locking groove.

[0021] With the above solution, when installing this new type of magnetic sliding sleeve, first operate the handwheel structure to loosen the clamping mechanism, then insert the opening slot directly onto the shower rod, and then operate the handwheel structure to clamp the shower rod, thus completing the installation and fixation of the magnetic sliding sleeve on the shower rod. It is simple, convenient, user-friendly, and has outstanding ease of use.

[0022] When adjusting the height of the sliding sleeve, simply operate the handwheel mechanism to slightly loosen the clamping mechanism from the shower rod, allowing the sliding sleeve to freely adjust up and down along the shower rod. Once adjusted to the correct position, operate the handwheel mechanism again to return the clamping mechanism to the shower rod.

[0023] When using the sliding sleeve-supported and positioned shower head, the angle of the shower head's water flow can be flexibly adjusted by rotating the base, and the shower head is stably positioned on the rotating base by the magnetic structure. It is very convenient to remove the shower head from the sliding sleeve or to position the shower head on the sliding sleeve.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, this new magnetic sliding sleeve is very convenient and easy to install and use, conforms to user habits, and allows for smooth and effortless operation of the shower head, greatly improving the ease of use and practicality of the sliding sleeve.

[0047] Shower head 8, mounting groove 81; shower rod 9. Detailed Implementation

[0048] The following detailed description of this case is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] This case involves a magnetic sliding sleeve, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the shower rod includes a sliding sleeve 1 and a rotating seat 2. The sliding sleeve 1 has an opening groove 10 for fitting a shower rod, and a first end 11 and a second end 12 located on both sides of the opening groove 10. The rotating seat 2 is rotatably connected to the first end 11 of the sliding sleeve 1, and a magnetic attraction structure 3 is provided on the rotating seat 2. A handwheel structure 4 is provided on the second end 12 of the sliding sleeve 1, and a clamping mechanism 5 is provided inside the sliding sleeve 1. The clamping mechanism 5 and the handwheel structure 4 work together to clamp and fix the shower rod 9 fitted in the opening groove 10 or to release and slide it.

[0050] When installing this new type of magnetic sliding sleeve, first operate the handwheel structure 4 to loosen the clamping mechanism 5, then directly and vertically insert the opening slot 10 into the shower rod body, with the opening slot 10 facing the rod body. Then operate the handwheel structure 4 to clamp the shower rod 9 with the clamping mechanism 5, thus completing the installation and fixation of the magnetic sliding sleeve on the shower rod 9. It is simple, convenient, and user-friendly to install, with outstanding ease of use.

[0051] When adjusting the height of the sliding sleeve, simply operate the handwheel structure 4 to slightly loosen the clamping mechanism 5 and the shower rod 9, and the sliding sleeve can be freely adjusted up and down along the shower rod 9. After adjusting to the correct position, operate the handwheel structure 4 again to restore the clamping mechanism 5 and the shower rod 9 to the clamped state.

[0052] When using the sliding sleeve-supported and positioned shower head, the angle of the shower head's water flow can be flexibly adjusted by rotating the seat 2, and the shower head can be stably positioned on the rotating seat 2 by the magnetic suction structure 3. It is very convenient to remove the shower head from the sliding sleeve or to position the shower head on the sliding sleeve.

[0053] Compared with existing technologies, this new magnetic sliding sleeve is very convenient and easy to install and use, conforms to user habits, and allows for smooth and effortless operation of the shower head, greatly improving the ease of use and practicality of the sliding sleeve.

[0054] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a first inner core 51 and a second inner core 52. The first inner core 51 has a first half-clamp 511 and a connecting body 512 located on both sides of the opening slot 10, and an inner core groove 510 formed between the first half-clamp 511 and the connecting body 512 and corresponding to the opening slot 10. A screw 513 extending from the second end 12 of the sliding sleeve seat 1 is connected to the connecting body 512, and a threaded groove 41 that mates with the screw 513 is formed on the handwheel structure 4. The second inner core 52 is sleeved on the connecting body 512, with its outer end abutting against the handwheel structure 4, and its inner end forming a second half-clamp 521 that mates with the first half-clamp 511.

[0055] When the clamping mechanism 5 is working, the handwheel structure 4 is linked with the screw 513 through the threaded groove 41, which drives the first half-clamp 511 and the second half-clamp 521 to move closer together to form a first working state of clamping and locking the shower rod 9, or to move away from each other to form a second working state of releasing the shower rod 9. The handwheel structure 4 is provided with a handle part 42 that facilitates rotating the handwheel structure.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, when installing the sliding sleeve, the threaded groove 41 of the handwheel structure 4 is rotated to the left to disengage from the screw 513 or the two separate from each other. At this time, the second inner core 51 is displaced to the left, and the second half-clamp 521 is disengaged from the opening groove 10 to the left. The opening groove 10 is then directly and vertically inserted into the shower rod 9, and the shower rod 9 is correspondingly and movably embedded in the inner core groove 510. Then, the handwheel structure 4 is rotated forward to gradually connect the threaded groove 41 and the screw 513 with threads. The handwheel structure 4 and the first inner core 51 move closer to each other. Under the push of the handwheel structure 4, the second inner core 51 also moves closer to the first inner core 51, thereby driving the first half-clamp 511 and the second half-clamp 521 to move closer to each other until they tightly lock the shower rod 9.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, when adjusting the height of the sliding sleeve on the shower rod 9, rotate the handwheel structure 4 slightly in the opposite direction. Similarly, under the linkage of the threaded structure, the first half-clamp 511 and the second half-clamp 521 slightly loosen the shower rod 9, thereby realizing the adjustment of the sliding sleeve. After the adjustment is in place, tighten the handwheel structure 4 in the forward direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, to enhance the locking strength of the first half-clamp 511 and the second half-clamp 521 on the shower rod 9, the first half-clamp 511 has a first inner clamping portion 5111, a first outer clamping portion 5112, and a limiting portion 5113 that can be detachably installed between the first inner clamping portion 5111 and the first outer clamping portion 5112. The second half-clamp 521 has a second outer clamping portion 5211 and a second inner clamping portion 5212 that are bifurcated internally and externally. Thus, the first half-clamp 511 and the second half-clamp 521 form multiple locking points, which tightly engage with the shower rod 9 from different directions to achieve a stable and reliable clamping and locking effect. The limiting portion 5113 is detachable, so in practical applications, by simply replacing the limiting portion 5113, it can be adapted to shower rods 9 with different rod diameters to meet practical application needs.

[0059] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a first guide structure is provided between the first inner core 51 and the sliding sleeve seat 1, and a second guide structure is provided between the first inner core 51 and the second inner core 52. The specific implementations of the first and second guide structures are both sliding grooves and sliding rails that cooperate with the sliding grooves. Specifically, a first sliding groove 13 is formed inside the sliding sleeve seat 1, and a first sliding rail 514 that cooperates with the first sliding groove 13 is formed on the first inner core 51; a second sliding rail 522 is formed on the second inner core 52, and a second sliding groove 515 that cooperates with the second sliding rail 522 is formed on the first inner core 51. Thus, under the guidance of the first and second guide structures, the first inner core 51 and the second inner core 52 can smoothly and accurately perform clamping or releasing displacement movements.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, a rotatable connection structure is provided between the rotating seat 2 and the sliding sleeve seat 1. The rotatable connection structure includes a friction ring 21, a friction bushing 22, and a screw 23. A connecting hole 111 is formed at the end of the first end 11 of the sliding sleeve seat 1. The friction bushing 22 is disposed between the rotating seat 2 and the connecting hole 111 and is locked by the screw 23. The friction ring 21 is embedded in the rotating seat 2, and the inner and outer surfaces of the first end 11 of the sliding sleeve seat 1 are respectively sandwiched between the friction bushing 22 and the friction ring 21. Thus, the rotating seat 2 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve seat 1 under the cooperation of the friction bushing 22 and the screw 23. Under the tension of the screw 23, the friction bushing 22 and the friction ring 21 form a planar friction structure with the inner and outer surfaces of the first end 11 from the inner and outer sides, respectively. This allows the rotating seat 2 to achieve arbitrary rotation and real-time hovering positioning of the rotation angle. Furthermore, a pin hole can be formed on the inner surface of the first end 11 of the sliding sleeve seat 1, and a positioning pin can be installed in the pin hole. Several stop holes are formed on the friction ring 21 in a ring-shaped distribution. When the rotating seat 2 rotates to the position, a sound is generated to indicate that the position is in place.

[0061] In the embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic suction structure 3 includes a first magnetic suction member 31 disposed on the rotating seat 2 and an annular body 32 protruding from the periphery of the first magnetic suction member 31. A retaining ring 321 is formed at the end of the annular body 32. In a specific embodiment of the installation of the magnetic suction structure 3, the magnetic suction structure 3 has a first magnetic suction seat 30 locked onto the rotating seat 2. A mounting hole 301 is formed in the middle of the first magnetic suction seat 30, and the annular body 32 is formed around the mounting hole 301. A sleeve 33 with an inward-facing opening is embedded in the mounting hole 301. The first magnetic suction member 31 is installed inside the sleeve 33 and is positioned by an abutment 24 formed on the rotating seat 2. When the magnetic suction structure 3 is in operation, the first magnetic suction member 31 provides magnetic attraction, and the annular body 32 and its retaining ring 321 provide alignment, assembly, and limiting, thus achieving magnetic fixation of the shower head on the magnetic sliding sleeve.

[0062] This invention also relates to a sliding sleeve assembly, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a sliding sleeve and a shower head 8. The sliding sleeve is a magnetic sliding sleeve as described above. The magnetic structure 3 includes a first magnetic member 31 provided on the movable seat 2 and an annular body 32 located around the first magnetic member 31 and protruding therefrom. The end of the annular body 32 is formed with a retaining ring 321.

[0063] like Figure 7-9As shown, the back of the shower head 8 has an annular groove 62 that mates with the annular body 32 when magnetically attracted, and a second magnetic member 61 located at the center of the annular groove 62 and correspondingly engaged with the first magnetic member 31. In a specific structural embodiment, the back of the shower head 8 has a mounting groove 81 and a second magnetic base 6 disposed within the mounting groove 81. The second magnetic base 6 has an annular groove 62, and the second magnetic member 61 is correspondingly installed at the center of the annular groove 62. Specifically, a mounting hole 621 is formed at the center of the annular groove 62, and an inwardly opening protective sleeve 63 is embedded in the mounting hole 621. The second magnetic member 61 is installed within the protective sleeve 63.

[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, a locking seat 7 with radial movable displacement is assembled on the annular groove 62. In a specific embodiment, a notch 622 and a guide rail groove 623 extending radially on the notch 622 are formed on the annular groove 62. A guide rail 70 that cooperates with the guide rail groove 623 is formed on the locking seat 7. Through the guide rail 70 and the guide rail groove 623, the locking seat 7 achieves radial movable displacement within the notch 622.

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking seat 7 has an inner stop arm 71 and an outer locking arm 72 corresponding to the inner and outer groove walls of the annular groove 62. A locking groove 73 is formed between the inner stop arm 71 and the outer locking arm 72 to accommodate the retaining ring 321 and to axially limit the retaining ring 321 by the outer locking arm 72. The locking groove 73 has a deformation port 731 for the retaining ring 321 to abut, deform and embed.

[0066] like Figure 10-12 As shown, the deformation port 731 is in the axial direction ( Figure 11 The inner diameter value L1 of the projection (in the vertical direction) is less than the radial width L2 of the retaining ring 321, and the radial width L2 of the retaining ring 321 is less than the groove width L3 of the annular groove.

[0067] like Figure 11 As shown, when the shower head 8 is magnetically positioned on the magnetic sliding sleeve, the back of the shower head 8 is brought close to the magnetic structure 3 of the rotating seat 2. The first magnetic element 31 and the second magnetic element 61 attract each other magnetically and guide the center alignment. The annular body 32 automatically aligns with the annular groove 62 and is inserted. The retaining ring 321 on the annular body 32 approaches the deformation port 731 of the locking seat 7 and abuts against the deformation port 731 to slightly expand its deformation. The retaining ring 321 adaptively embeds into the locking groove 73. Afterwards, the deformation port 731 returns to its original position without force, and the retaining ring 321 is confined within the locking groove 73. With the help of the external locking arm 72 and the retaining ring 321 interfering with each other axially to limit the movement, the annular body 32 is finally firmly confined within the annular groove 62. Under the dual constraints of magnetic attraction and locking, the shower head 8 is reliably and stably supported and positioned on the sliding sleeve, eliminating the possibility of the shower head falling off.

[0068] The locking seat 7 adopts a radially movable displacement design on the annular groove 62, which is equivalent to forming a dynamic locking mechanism in the annular groove 62. It forms an adaptively adjustable relative position relationship with the retaining ring 321. During the process of the retaining ring 321 pushing against the ground, the dynamic locking mechanism can adaptively fine-tune the relative position between the two, so that the retaining ring 321 can be accurately and smoothly inserted. After insertion, it can also adaptively adjust to lock each other. The whole dynamic process is very natural, smooth and without any jamming.

[0069] When removing the shower head 8 from the sliding sleeve, hold the shower head 8 firmly with one hand and apply force in a direction roughly perpendicular to the contact surface between the shower head and the rotating seat 2. This causes the retaining ring 321 to push against the deformation port 731 from the inside out. The deformation port 731 adaptively shifts radially and makes a slight expansion deformation. The retaining ring 321 naturally disengages from the locking groove 73, and the annular groove 62 naturally separates from the annular body 32, completing the operation of removing the shower head 8 from the rotating seat 2. During operation, you only need to pick it up and apply force normally, without any additional coordination actions. It is very convenient and easy to use, bringing a high-end user experience.

[0070] Further as Figure 10 As shown, the outer locking arm 72 has a locking head 721 at its end for axially limiting the retaining ring 321. The locking head 721 is axially higher than the end of the inner locking arm 71. The locking head 721 and the end of the inner locking arm 71 form the deformation opening 731, which is a slanted structure with a lower inner side and a higher outer side. The inner blocking point is at a lower position, and the outer locking point is at a higher position. Thus, when the retaining ring 321 and the deformation opening 731 abut against each other, they are already in a misaligned fit relationship that is appropriately protruding in the locking direction, and are at the inflection point where they are about to deform and embed. The deformation opening 731 only needs a slight deformation to achieve embedding and locking, giving the user an invisible experience of locking and positioning.

[0071] like Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the locking seat 7 has a certain range of radial displacement to ensure the formation of the adaptively adjustable relative positional relationship. The locking seat 7 has a first position with radial inward displacement and a second position with radial outward displacement. Figure 10 As shown in the first position, the locking seat 7 is radially upward and inwardly displaced, the inner locking arm 71 moves to the outside of the annular groove 62, that is, outside the annular space defined by the inner and outer groove walls of the annular groove 62, and the locking head 721 extends at least partially into the annular groove 62, that is, into the annular space defined by the inner and outer groove walls of the annular groove 62. Figure 13As shown in the second position, the locking seat 7 is radially upward and outward, the locking head 721 moves outside the annular groove 62, and the inner locking arm 71 extends at least partially into the annular groove 62. The locking seat 7 can freely shift and adjust within the range defined by the first and second positions, resulting in adaptive dynamic alignment adjustment and achieving a clever and perfect locking and limiting function.

[0072] like Figure 13 As shown, the deformation port 73 has a guide slope 711 formed at the end of the inner stop arm 71. With the surface perpendicular to the guide slope 711 as the projection surface, the distance L4 between the projection of the locking head 721 and the guide slope 711 on the projection surface is greater than the radial width L2 of the retaining ring 321. Thus, the inner diameter of the deformation port 73 in the inclined direction is greater than the radial width of the retaining ring 321. When the shower head 8 is positioned on the magnetic suction structure 3, and the retaining ring 321 abuts against the end of the inner stop arm 71, the guide slope 711 acts as a guide and facilitates the deformation of the deformation port 73. When the shower head 8 is removed from the rotating seat 2, the direction of force inevitably has a certain angle of inclination (i.e., there is an angle between the direction of force and the axial direction). The design of the inner diameter of the deformation port 73 in the inclined direction makes it easier for the retaining ring 321 to disengage from the deformation port 73 under inclined external force, improving the ease and comfort for the user when removing the shower head.

[0073] This implementation example Figure 13 As shown, the locking head 721 has an outer inclined surface 7211 on its surface opposite to the locking groove 73, and an inner inclined surface 7212 on its surface facing the locking groove 73. The outer inclined surface 7211 and the inner inclined surface 7212 respectively guide the locking ring 321 when locking and releasing.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
