The light radiates from the inner wall of the storage slot 11 to the surrounding space, illuminating the inside of the storage slot 11 and a certain area around it, meeting the lighting needs of the user when taking out or organizing items in the niche.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the niche also includes a mirror 24, and a first fixing plate 20 is provided on the upper part of the cabinet 10. The mirror 24 is fixed to the first fixing plate 20 by adhesive bonding.

[0037] A first fixing plate 20 is pre-installed on the upper part of the niche cabinet 10. When installing the mirror 24, the mirror 24 is placed in the corresponding position on the first fixing plate 20, and the mirror 24 is tightly attached to the first fixing plate 20 using adhesive materials (such as glue and double-sided tape), thus completing the fixed installation of the mirror 24. When the user needs to apply makeup, they only need to stand in front of the niche, and the mirror 24 can clearly reflect the user's face, making it convenient for the user to observe the effect of their makeup and make fine adjustments.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the niche also includes a towel rack 21, which is fixed to the first fixing plate 20 by adhesive bonding.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the towel rack 21 includes a first hanging rod 22 and a second hanging rod 23. The second hanging rod 23 is hollow, and one end of the first hanging rod 22 is slidably inserted into the second hanging rod 23.

[0040] Place the towel rack 21 at a suitable position on the first fixing plate 20, and fix the towel rack 21 to the first fixing plate 20 using an adhesive method (e.g., using glue and double-sided tape) to achieve the installation of the towel rack 21. The towel rack 21 consists of a first hanging rod 22 and a second hanging rod 23. The second hanging rod 23 is hollow, and the first end of the first hanging rod 22 is slidably inserted into the second hanging rod 23. When it is necessary to shorten the length of the towel rack 21, move the second end of the first hanging rod 22 toward the second hanging rod 23; when it is necessary to extend the length of the towel rack 21, move the second end of the first hanging rod 22 away from the second hanging rod 23.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the niche also includes a hook 31, and a second fixing plate 30 is provided at the lower part of the cabinet 10. The hook 31 has an opening, and the second fixing plate 30 has a threaded hole corresponding to the opening. A bolt passes through the opening and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole to lock the hook 31 on the second fixing plate 30.

[0042] A second fixing plate 30 is pre-installed at the lower part of the niche cabinet 10. The installer places the hook 31 in a suitable position on the second fixing plate 30, aligning the opening of the hook 31 with the threaded hole on the second fixing plate 30. A suitable bolt is selected and inserted from the opening side of the hook 31, ensuring the threaded portion passes through the opening and enters the threaded hole on the second fixing plate 30. Using a tool (such as a wrench), the bolt is rotated clockwise to ensure a tight threaded connection between the bolt and the threaded hole. As the bolt is tightened, the hook 31 is gradually pressed onto the second fixing plate 30 until it is securely locked in place, completing the installation of the hook 31. After installation, the user can hang various items on the hook 31 as needed. The hook 31 can support items of a certain weight, providing a convenient hanging function for users.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the niche also includes a top spray switch 32, which is connected to the second fixed plate 30 and is used to control the opening and closing of the top spray shower head 15.

[0044] When using the overhead shower head 15, the user controls its opening and closing by operating the overhead shower switch 32 connected to the second fixed plate 30. When the user turns on the overhead shower switch 32, water can be smoothly delivered to the overhead shower head 15 through the pipe, thus causing the overhead shower head 15 to spray water; when the user turns off the overhead shower switch 32, the water supply stops, and the overhead shower head 15 stops spraying water.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the side wall of the cabinet 10 is connected to an extension plate 40, a shower head bracket 42 is installed on the extension plate 40, a mixing valve 33 is connected to the second fixing plate 30, the mixing valve 33 is connected to the first end of the water pipe 41, and the other end of the water pipe 41 passes through the shower head bracket 42 and is connected to the handheld shower head 43.

When using the handheld shower head 43, the user first adjusts the mixing valve 33 connected to the second fixing plate 30. The mixing valve 33 can be used to adjust the mixing ratio of hot and cold water to obtain a suitable water temperature. After adjusting the water temperature, the user removes the handheld shower head 43 from the shower head bracket 42 and can start using it. Water flows out from the mixing valve 33, is delivered through the water pipe 41 to the handheld shower head 43, and sprays out. After use, the user puts the handheld shower head 43 back on the shower head bracket 42.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the niche also includes a reinforcing rib 14, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the partition 12 and the inner side wall of the cabinet 10.

[0048] Once the niche is in use, various items will be placed on the shelf 12, and the weight of these items will exert downward pressure on the shelf 12. At this time, the reinforcing rib 14 comes into play, transferring the pressure borne by the shelf 12 to the inner wall of the cabinet 10. The reinforcing rib 14 itself has a certain degree of bending and compressive strength, which can resist the pressure transmitted from the shelf 12 and prevent the shelf 12 from deforming or being damaged due to excessive force. At the same time, the reinforcing rib 14 also enhances the connection stability between the shelf 12 and the cabinet 10, making the entire niche structure more robust.

[0049] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
