Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific implementation of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A shower rod slide includes a main body 10. One end of the main body 10 is provided with a socket 20 for holding the shower head, and the other end of the main body 10 is provided with a U-shaped opening groove 11 for mounting on the shower rod. The U-shaped opening of the U-shaped opening groove 11 is provided with a screw cap 30. The screw cap 30 is pivotally connected to a button-type clamping mechanism 40 for clamping the shower rod on the side facing the U-shaped opening groove 11.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the main body 10 has a rectangular or cylindrical structure, and the socket 20 is detachably assembled to one end of the main body 10 by means of screws or clips. In this embodiment, the main body 10 is preferably a cylindrical injection-molded part, and the socket 20 is preferably assembled to the main body 10 by means of screws. The outer wall of the U-shaped opening groove 11 of the main body 10 is provided with an external thread 111, and the inner side of the cap 30 is provided with an internal thread 31 that mates with the external thread 111.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The button-type clamping mechanism 40 includes a housing 41, a button component 42, a spring 43, a friction component 44, and a guide ramp 45. The housing 41 has an assembly cavity. The top surface of the housing 41 has a button hole 411 for the button portion of the button component 42 to extend out. The side of the housing 41 facing the U-shaped opening groove 11 has a first hollow portion 412 for the friction component 44 to extend out. The side of the housing 41 facing the screw cap 30 has a second hollow portion 413 for assembling the guide ramp 45. The first hollow portion 412 and the second hollow portion 413 are respectively connected to the assembly cavity.

[0027] The guide ramp 45 is installed in the assembly cavity through the second hollow portion 413, forming a ramp in the assembly cavity. This ramp is inclined towards the U-shaped opening slot 11 of the main body 10. More precisely, the distance between the ramp and the center line of the shower rod gradually widens from top to bottom. Furthermore, the guide ramp 45 can be fixedly connected to the housing 41 by means of snap-fit ​​connection or ultrasonic welding. Preferably, in this embodiment, when the main body 10, housing 41, and guide ramp 45 are made of plastic injection molded parts, the guide ramp 45 is preferably fixedly assembled by ultrasonic welding, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of this invention. In addition, the side of the guide ramp 45 facing the cap 30 is provided with a pivot post 451, and the cap 30 is provided with a pivot seat 32 that cooperates with the pivot post 451.

[0028] The button 42 and spring 43 are mounted vertically and movably within the inclined groove, with the button portion of the button 42 extending out of the button hole 411. A friction block is detachably mounted on the button 42. Preferably, the button 42 has a mounting groove 421 on the side facing the U-shaped opening groove 11, and the friction block 44 is detachably embedded in the mounting groove 421. The friction block 44 extends out of the housing 41 through the first hollow portion 412 towards the U-shaped opening groove 11. The friction block 44 moves vertically with the button 42, and its end face forms a tightening and loosening fit with the shower rod.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In the production and assembly process of this utility model, the friction plate, spring 43 and button 42 are first combined and connected, and then inserted into the assembly cavity through the second hollow part 413; then the guide block 45 is inserted into the second hollow part 413, and the guide block 45 is fixedly welded to the housing 41 by ultrasonic welding; finally, the button-type clamping mechanism 40 is pivotally connected to the cap 30 by the cooperation of the pivot post 451 and the pivot seat 32 on the cap 30.

[0030] When this utility model is assembled on a shower rod, the slide is first inserted into the shower rod through the U-shaped opening groove 11 of the main body 10, and then the cap 30 is tightened so that the button-type clamping mechanism 40 on the cap 30 abuts against and clamps the shower rod, thereby fixing the slide to the shower rod.

[0031] When adjusting the height of the shower rod, this invention allows the user to simply press down on button 42 with one hand. Button 42 moves friction element 44 away from the shower rod, causing button-type clamping mechanism 40 to release the shower rod, allowing the user to slide the slide up and down to adjust its position. Once the slide is in the desired position, releasing button 42 causes it to return to its original position under the return force of spring 43, causing friction element 44 to press against the shower rod. This then causes button-type clamping mechanism 40 to clamp the shower rod, completing the sliding positioning. Therefore, the adjustment operation of the slide of this invention is simple, quick, and allows for immediate adjustment and stopping.

[0032] In order to improve applicability and adapt to shower rods of various diameters, this utility model has a gasket 12 detachably embedded in the bottom of the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped opening groove 11. The gasket 12 consists of several gaskets 12 of different thicknesses; the friction element 44 also consists of several friction elements 44 of different thicknesses. Users can select the required gasket 12 and friction element 44 according to the specifications of the shower rod and choose one for assembly.

[0033] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
