[0030] Example

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a shower column installation structure, including a shower column with an upper pipe 1 and a lower pipe 2, a body assembly 3 connected to the lower end of the lower pipe 2, a top spray outlet pipe 4, and also includes a connecting bracket 5 for connecting the upper pipe 1 and the lower pipe 2, a water inlet body 7 fixed on the connecting bracket 5 for connecting to a water inlet connector 6 provided on the wall, a fixing block 8 movably disposed in the upper pipe 1 and having a water outlet channel, and a top spray connector 9 connected to the water outlet channel of the fixing block 8 through a limiting hole in the upper pipe 1; one end of the top spray outlet pipe 4 is connected to the water inlet of the water outlet channel, and the other end passes through the inner cavity of the upper pipe 1, the connecting bracket 5 and the lower pipe 2 and is connected to the water outlet of the body assembly 3;

[0032] The fixing block 8 can move within the upper pipe 1 under the action of the top spray water outlet pipe 4, so that the lower end of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 protrudes from the bottom end face of the lower pipe 2, so as to connect with the water outlet of the main body assembly 3; and after the main body assembly 3 is connected to the bottom of the lower pipe 2, it can retract under the action of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 to a position where it can be fixedly connected with the top spray connector 9.

[0033] In this embodiment, the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4 is a flexible pipe with connectors at both ends for sealing and connecting with the inlet of the water outlet channel and the outlet of the main body component 3, respectively, and is fixed by retaining rings 10. Specifically, the inlet of the water outlet channel has a retaining groove, and the connectors at both ends of the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4 have retaining slots; the retaining ring 10 is an open ring that can be inserted into the retaining slot and engage with it, thereby enabling the connectors at both ends of the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4 to be fixedly connected to the inlet of the water outlet channel and the outlet of the main body component 3, respectively. This method is convenient and quick. Of course, in other embodiments, the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4 can also be a flexible pipe with connectors at both ends for threaded connection with the inlet of the water outlet channel and the outlet of the main body component 3, and the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4 has a section of spiral elastic tube. The spiral elastic tube can prevent the main body of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 from twisting when the two ends of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 are screwed together, thereby avoiding the situation of uneven water flow or small water flow.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper pipe 1 and the lower pipe 2 can be formed by cutting and bending profiles. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-sections of both the upper pipe 1 and the lower pipe 2 are square. A decorative cover 11 is also provided at the open end of the upper pipe 1. The inlet of the water outlet channel in the fixing block 8 is arranged along the axial direction of the upper pipe 1, and the outlet is located at the bottom of the fixing block 8. Furthermore, the shape of the fixing block 8 is adapted to the inner cavity of the upper pipe 1 so that the inner cavity can guide the fixing block 8 and facilitate the movement of the fixing block 8 in the inner cavity of the upper pipe 1 in a predetermined posture.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet body 7 is provided with a water inlet interface 12 and a water outlet interface 13 arranged vertically along their axes, as well as an installation platform 14. The water inlet interface 12 is used for sealing and inserting the water inlet connector 6 and is fixed by a side fastening screw. The water outlet interface 13 is used for sealing and inserting with the water inlet pipe 16 and is limited and fixed by a retaining ring 10. The installation platform 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 5 by screws. The water inlet pipe 16 is preferably a rigid pipe, and both ends are provided with connectors. One end is sealed and inserted into the water outlet interface 13 of the water inlet body 7 and limited and fixed by a retaining ring 10. The other end passes through the lower pipe 2 and is sealed and inserted into the water inlet of the body assembly 3 when the body assembly 3 is connected to the lower pipe 2.

[0036] like Figures 6 to 9As shown, the upper section 19 and lower section 20 of the connecting bracket 5 are adapted to the inner cavities of the upper pipe 1 and the lower pipe 2, respectively. That is, in this embodiment, the upper section 19 and lower section 20 are square. The upper section 19 of the connecting bracket 5 can be inserted into the upper pipe 1, and the lower section 20 can be inserted into the lower pipe 2, and then connected by screws. A slot 21 with a downward opening is provided on the first side wall, that is, the side wall near the wall, and a second side wall opposite to the first side wall forms a mounting surface 22; the water inlet body 7 can be snapped into the slot 21, so that the mounting platform 14 can be installed on the mounting surface 22 by screws. This method realizes a quick connection between the connecting bracket 5, the upper pipe 1, the lower pipe 2, and the water inlet body 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, a limiting block 15 for fixing to the wall is also included. The housing of the main body component 3 is provided with a limiting groove adapted to the limiting block 15. The side wall of the limiting groove is limited and fixed to the limiting block 15 by fastening screws.

[0038] The assembly process of this shower column installation structure is described below:

[0039] First, the water inlet body 7 is installed on the connecting bracket 5 with screws, and then the connecting bracket 5 is fixed below the upper pipe 1 with screws.

[0040] Then, after connecting the fixing block 8 to the top spray water outlet pipe 4, insert the other end of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 through the opening of the upper pipe 1 and pass it through the inner cavity of the connecting bracket 5. Next, insert the fixing block 8 into the upper pipe 1, and slide the fixing block 8 inside the upper pipe 1 by dragging the top spray water outlet pipe 4, so that a longer section of the top spray water outlet pipe 4 is positioned below the connecting bracket 5. Then, install the water inlet pipe 16 on the water outlet interface 13 of the water inlet body 7, and pass the water inlet pipe 16 and the top spray water outlet pipe 4 together through the lower pipe 2, and then fix the lower pipe 2 to the connecting bracket 5.

[0041] Then, connect the water inlet pipe 16 and the top spray outlet pipe 4 to the water inlet and outlet of the main body assembly 3, then fix the main body assembly 3 to the lower pipe 2, and then fix the top spray connector 9 to the outlet of the water outlet channel of the fixing block 8. Finally, seal the opening of the upper pipe 1 with the decorative cover 11.

[0042] Finally, the assembled water inlet body 7 is inserted into the water inlet connector 6 on the wall and locked in place by the fastening bolts on the side; the limiting groove on the housing of the body component 3 is connected to the limiting block 15 on the wall and locked in place by the fastening screws on the side.

[0043] In this process, by dragging the top spray outlet pipe 4, the fixing block 8 slides within the upper pipe 1. The other end of the top spray outlet pipe 4 passes through the lower pipe 2, and has a protruding section positioned outside the bottom end face of the lower pipe 2. This protruding section greatly facilitates the installation operation, allowing it to be installed on the outlet of the main body assembly 3. During the installation of the main body assembly 3 and the lower pipe 2, due to the confinement of the inner cavities of the upper pipe 1 and the lower pipe 2, the top spray outlet pipe 4 retracts, pushing the fixing block 8 back to a position where it can connect with the top spray connector 9. The top spray connector 9, through the mounting hole provided on the upper pipe 1, forms a sealed connection with the outlet of the fixing block 8, limiting the fixing block 8 to this designated position. It should be noted that the main body assembly 3 includes a control valve, which can control the water output from different water channels.

[0044] This simple structure greatly facilitates the installation and connection of the overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4, making manual operation easier, improving installation efficiency, and eliminating the need for a longer overhead sprinkler outlet pipe 4, thus reducing product costs and making the product more competitive.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment, the side wall of the upper pipe 1 is provided with a continuous slot along the moving direction of the fixing block 8; when the top spray connector 9 is not locked and fixed to the fixing block 8, it can move synchronously with the fixing block 8 on the slot. Thus, after the fixing block 8 is connected to the outlet of the main body assembly 3 via the top spray outlet pipe 4, and after the main body assembly 3 is connected to the lower pipe 2, it can be further moved to the set initial water outlet position via the top spray connector 9 after being pushed back by the top spray outlet pipe 4. This method can further shorten the length of the top spray outlet pipe 4, only requiring that the length of the top spray outlet pipe 4 is sufficient to connect to the outlet of the main body assembly 3 placed on the lower pipe 2 and the inlet of the fixing block 8 placed at the set initial water outlet position. This further reduces product costs.

[0046] This utility model also provides a shower device, which includes an overhead shower head and a handheld shower head, and also includes the aforementioned shower column mounting structure. The overhead shower head is connected to the overhead shower head connector 9; the handheld shower head is connected to the lower water outlet connector 18 of the main body assembly 3. A sliding groove is provided on the side of the lower pipe 2, and the shower head movable seat 17 is movably disposed on the sliding groove.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
