Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe branching technology, specifically to a pipe brancher and a shower device. Background Technology

[0002] In a small bathroom, the inability to adjust the position of the overhead shower horizontally prevents users from finding the most suitable location based on their needs and the bathroom layout. The shower may also be too close to the wall, making the shower feel cramped and restrictive, and potentially causing users to accidentally bump into the wall, resulting in inconvenience.

[0003] Therefore, a shower device that functions like an overhead shower can be created by installing a telescopic support rod in the bathroom and then mounting a shower head on the telescopic support rod. However, how to effectively connect the water inlet pipe, the shower head, and the telescopic support rod is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a pipe branching device to solve the problems mentioned in the background section above.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A pipe branching device includes a mounting base assembly, in which a supporting component is provided. The mounting base assembly has an inclined guide rail for the supporting component to move in an inclined direction and a mounting hole that passes through laterally. A reset member is provided between the mounting base assembly and the supporting component to keep the supporting component in a supporting position. When the supporting component is in the supporting position, the supporting surface of the supporting component protrudes into the mounting hole. When the supporting component is pressed, the supporting component moves along the inclined guide rail, causing the supporting surface of the supporting component to move away from the mounting hole. A water-passing component is fixedly connected to the mounting base assembly. The water-passing component has at least two joints and a water-passing channel communicating with the joints.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting bracket assembly includes a base and screws connecting the base to the water passage component.

The water-passing component and the connector are provided with a first stop surface and a second stop surface that cooperate with each other. The screw passes through the connector and is threadedly connected to the water-passing component.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting bracket assembly also includes a housing, the base body is placed inside the housing, the base body is provided with the inclined guide rail and a positioning post disposed at the rear end of the inclined guide rail, the top holding assembly includes a button, the reset member is a compression spring, one end of the compression spring is connected to the button, the other end of the compression spring is sleeved on the positioning post, one end of the button extends out of the housing, and the other end of the button is provided with a guide strip abutting against the inclined guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a rubber pad, the upper end of which is embedded in the button, and the lower surface of which forms the support surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the base has a side opening and an upper opening. The button and the compression spring are installed into the base along the side. The screwdriver is inserted through the upper opening and the screw is locked to the water-passing component.

[0012] Furthermore, the rear end of the button is provided with a mounting groove for the compression spring to be inserted.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a reinforcing ring, which surrounds the mounting hole and has an extension surface that extends parallel to the central axis of the mounting hole.

[0024] 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. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, a pipe branch includes a mounting base assembly 1, in which a supporting component 2 is provided. The mounting base assembly 1 has an inclined guide rail 121 for the supporting component 2 to move in an inclined direction, and a mounting hole 11 that passes through in a transverse direction. A reset member is provided between the mounting base assembly 1 and the supporting component 2. The reset member is used to keep the supporting component 2 in a supporting position. When the supporting component is in the supporting position, the supporting surface 221 of the supporting component protrudes into the mounting hole 11. When the supporting component 2 is pressed, the supporting component 2 moves along the inclined guide rail 121, causing the supporting surface 221 of the supporting component 2 to move away from the mounting hole 11. A water-passing component 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting base assembly. The water-passing component 3 has at least two connectors 31 and a water-passing channel 32 communicating with the connectors 31.

[0026] In use, the pipe fitting, such as the retractable support rod 6 fixed to the wall, passes through the mounting hole 11 and then abuts against the pipe fitting through the top support surface 221 of the top support assembly 2, so that the pipe branch of this utility model can be installed and fixed at any position on the pipe fitting. The external water inlet and water outlet components are respectively connected to the two joints 31 of the water passage component 3, and then the water is guided through the water passage 32. The outer periphery of the joint 31 is provided with external threads, which facilitates connection with the external water inlet and water outlet components. The pipe branch of this utility model has the advantages of convenient position adjustment and convenient and quick assembly with the water inlet and water outlet components.

[0027] The mounting bracket assembly 1 includes a base 12 and screws 13 connecting the base 12 and the water passage component 3. The assembly of the water passage component 3 and the base 12 is simple and uses few parts. The water passage component 3 is integrally molded with two connectors 31 and a water passage channel 32 through injection molding, which ensures the sealing of the water flow channel and facilitates the processing and molding of the water passage component 3.

[0028] The mounting bracket assembly 1 further includes a connector 14, the upper end of which is snapped into the base body 12, and the lower end of which is embedded in the water-passing component 3. The water-passing component 3 and the connector 14 are provided with a first stop surface and a second stop surface 33 that cooperate with each other. The screw 13 passes through the connector 14 and is threadedly connected to the water-passing component 3. In the above structure, the first stop surface and the second stop surface 33 prevent relative rotation between the base body 12 and the water-passing component 3, thereby avoiding rotation of the water outlet component.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting bracket assembly 1 also includes a housing 15, with the seat body 12 housed within the housing 15. The seat body 12 is provided with the inclined guide rail 121 and a positioning post 122 disposed at the rear end of the inclined guide rail 121. The top holding assembly 2 includes a button 21, and the reset element is a compression spring 4. One end of the compression spring 4 is connected to the button 21. Specifically, the rear end of the button 21 is provided with a mounting groove 211 for the compression spring 4 to be inserted. The other end of the compression spring 4 is sleeved on the positioning post 122, thereby fixing the compression spring 4. One end of the button 21 extends out of the housing 15, and the other end of the button 21 is provided with a guide strip 212 that abuts against the inclined guide rail 121, thereby ensuring that the button 21 moves along the setting path of the inclined guide rail 121.

[0030] The supporting assembly 2 also includes a rubber pad 22. The upper end of the rubber pad 22 is embedded in the button 21, and the lower end surface of the rubber pad 22 forms the supporting surface 221. By using the rubber pad 22 to support the pipe fitting passing through the mounting hole 11, the friction between the two can be increased, preventing the pipe branch of this utility model from sliding along the pipe fitting when the button 21 is not pressed.

[0031] The seat 12 is provided with a side opening 123 and an upper opening 124. The button 21 and the compression spring 4 are installed into the seat 12 along the side. The screwdriver is inserted through the upper opening 124 and the screw 13 is locked to the water-passing component 3. The side opening 123 and the upper opening 124 facilitate the assembly of various components with the seat 12.

[0032] It also includes a reinforcing ring 5, which surrounds the mounting hole 11. The reinforcing ring 5 has an extension surface 51 extending parallel to the central axis of the mounting hole 11. The extension surface 51 increases its contact area with the pipe fitting, ensuring the stability of the connection with the pipe fitting. The reinforcing ring 5 is provided with a deformation hook 52 for fastening the housing 15. After being connected to the housing 15 by the deformation hook 52, the inner end face of the deformation hook abuts against the housing 15, ensuring that the reinforcing ring 5 will not accidentally detach after being fastened into the housing 15.

[0033] During assembly, first insert the connector 14 into the base 12 along the side opening 123, then insert it into the water-passing component 3. Using a screwdriver, insert the screwdriver through the upper opening 124 and lock the screw 13 to the water-passing component 3. Install the rubber pad 22 into the button 21, insert the compression spring 4 into the mounting groove 211 of the button 21, and then install the button 21 into the base 12 along the inclined guide rail 121. Snap the other end of the spring into the positioning post 122. Press the button 21 to retract it into the base 12, then slide it into the housing 15. Align the through hole 151 of the housing 15 with the button 21, allowing one end of the button 21 to extend out of the housing 15. Then, snap the reinforcing ring 5 into the mounting hole 11 to complete the assembly.

[0034] Reference Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a usage scenario for the above-mentioned adjustable pipe branch. Specifically, it constitutes a shower device by combining an external water inlet component, namely the water inlet pipe 7, an external water outlet component, namely the shower head body 8, and a telescopic support rod 6 for installing the pipe branch.

[0035] Specifically, the retractable support rod 6 is fixed to the wall of the shower room, the retractable support rod 6 passes through the mounting hole 11, the top support surface 221 of the top support abuts against the retractable support rod 6, and the water inlet pipe 7 and the shower head body 8 are respectively connected to the two connectors 31.

[0036] This utility model assembles the aforementioned pipe branch, telescopic support rod 6, water inlet pipe 7, and shower head body 8 to modify it into a top-spray shower head. By pressing button 21, the shower head body 8 can slide horizontally along the telescopic support rod 6, thereby moving to the most suitable position relative to the shower room wall, thus adapting to users of different heights and body types.
