Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art 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. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Depend on Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a shower, including a faucet assembly 1, a top spray assembly 2, and a lifting assembly connected between the faucet assembly 1 and the top spray assembly 2. The lifting assembly includes an upper pipe 3, a lower pipe 4, a first balancing mechanism, and a second balancing mechanism. In this embodiment, the lower pipe 4 is fixed to the upper end of the faucet assembly 1, and an opening is provided at the top of the lower pipe 4. The upper pipe 3 is disposed inside the lower pipe 4 and can extend and retract relative to the lower pipe 4 through the opening. The top spray rod of the top spray assembly 2 is fixed to the upper end of the upper pipe 3 by bolts; various methods exist, which will not be elaborated here.

[0022] The first balancing mechanism includes a hydraulic balancing inner pipe 6 slidably disposed between two upper and lower hydraulic balancing outer pipes 5, with a balancing connector 7 located in the middle of the inner pipe 6. The bottom end of the lower hydraulic balancing outer pipe 5 is connected to the faucet assembly 1 as a water inlet. A water outlet is located on one side of the balancing connector 7, and a connecting pipe 8 is connected thereto. The connecting pipe 8 is used to connect to the top spray assembly 2, guiding water to the showerhead of the top spray assembly 2. Because the hydraulic balancing inner pipe 6 experiences equal water pressure, its two ends are balanced when moving axially, preventing pressure buildup and providing excellent sliding feel. This function effectively connects the fluid to the top spray assembly 2; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0023] The second balancing mechanism includes a spring box 9 and a spring 10 steel sheet. The spring box 9 is fixed inside the upper tube 3, and the spring 10, located inside the spring box 9, is guided through the opening of the spring box 9 and connected to the fixing block 23 at the upper end of the lower tube 4. Through the configuration of the second balancing mechanism, the force generated by its elastic deformation cancels out the weight of the top spray assembly 2. This allows the top spray assembly 2 to move infinitely up and down easily by moving the upper tube 3, providing a comfortable adjustment feel without the need for fixing components. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a sleeve is provided inside the upper tube 3, located between the inner side of the upper tube 3 and the spring 10, thereby isolating the spring 10 and the upper tube 3 to avoid friction and prevent the spring 10 from deforming and jamming.

[0024] Preferably, the lifting assembly further includes a connecting fixing seat 11, a lower guide structure 12, and a connecting handle 13. The balance connector 7 is axially fixed to the connecting fixing seat 11 by means of a slot and a locking block. The connecting fixing seat 11 is fixed to the bottom of the upper pipe 3 by bolts. The lower guide structure 12 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom end of the lower pipe 4 by means of a snap and a slot. A longitudinally extending slide groove 16 is provided through the back of the lower pipe 4, and the connecting end of the connecting handle 13 passes through the slide groove 16 and is fixedly connected to the connecting fixing seat 11. The top spray assembly 2 is moved up and down by moving the upper pipe 3 longitudinally at the top of the lower pipe 4. In this way, the front end of the upper pipe 3 is protected by the lower pipe 4, and the slide groove 16 is located on the back of the lower pipe 4, away from the water spray area. The upper pipe 3 is controlled to move up and down by using the connecting handle 13 to pass through the slide groove 16 and connect to the connecting fixing seat 11. Furthermore, the connecting handle 13 is U-shaped, allowing it to extend from the operating part of the faucet assembly 1 to the front of the lower pipe 4. This enables the movement of the top spray assembly 2 to be controlled by operating the connecting handle 13, ensuring convenient use even when the connecting end is far from the spraying area. Additionally, the lower guide structure 12 between the lower pipe 4 and the upper pipe 3 enhances wear resistance and increases their service life.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower tube 4 includes a lower tube 4 sleeve and a back plate 15. The lower tube 14 is U-shaped, and the back plate 15 is fixed to the rear side of the lower tube 14 by means of a slot connection. The slide groove 16 is provided on the back plate 15, which can provide protection from the front end and both sides to prevent the spraying area from contacting the slide groove 16.

[0026] Preferably, the back plate 15 is further provided with a first guide groove 17 in the longitudinal direction, and a guide block 18 is formed on the lower guide structure 12, the guide block 18 being slidably connected to the first guide groove 17. The guide block 18 and the first guide groove 16 guide the sliding to ensure that the upper tube 3 can move longitudinally parallel to the lower tube 4.

[0027] Preferably, the back panel 15 is further provided with a second guide groove 19, which is parallel to the slide groove 16; it also includes a slide plate 20, which is slidably disposed within the second guide groove 19 to cover the slide groove 16; the slide plate 20 is provided with a through hole 21 suitable for the connecting handle 13 to pass through. When the connecting handle 13 is moved up and down, the connecting handle 13 can also drive the slide plate 20 to move, thereby covering the slide groove 16, preventing insects and debris from entering the shower head, and preventing parts from rusting due to water immersion.

[0028] Furthermore, as one implementation, two through holes 21 are provided; two pins 22 are provided at the connecting end of the connecting handle 13; the pins 22 pass through the through holes 21 and are connected to the connecting fixing seat 11 by bolts. The connecting handle 13 is connected and fixed to the connecting fixing seat 11 by the two pins 22, so that the connection is more stable and it is also suitable for driving the upper tube 3 to move longitudinally by the connecting handle 13.

[0029] Preferably, a fixing block 23 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lower pipe 4, and an upper guide structure 24 is fixedly provided at the front end of the fixing block 23. The upper guide structure 24 is sleeved on the upper pipe 3; the upper guide structure 24 is slidably connected to the upper pipe 3 through a wear-resistant part 25. By setting the upper guide structure 24 and the wear-resistant part 25, a guiding effect is generated, ensuring that the movement of the upper pipe 3 is more stable, while reducing friction, making the movement of the upper pipe 3 relative to the lower pipe 4 smoother, reducing wear, and increasing service life. When packaging the product, it can be disassembled into the top spray module, the faucet module, and the lifting module, reducing the overall packaging space occupied by the product. During installation, the upper end of the upper pipe 2 is provided with a mounting base with screw holes. The top spray rod of the top spray assembly 2 is fixed to the mounting base from the top with screws to complete the installation, which can hide the screws and make the appearance more beautiful. Other details are omitted.
