[0015] The eleventh technical solution is based on the tenth technical solution, wherein the shower pipe can be concealed or exposed.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In the first technical solution, the concealed pipe fitting includes a cold water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe, and the water outlet control device includes a main body and an adjusting component. The main body includes a first inlet pipe and a second inlet pipe, wherein the first inlet pipe is flexible. The adjusting component includes an adjusting member and a first fixing member. The adjusting member is fitted onto the first inlet pipe and is adapted to move relative to the first inlet pipe in a second direction. The first fixing member cooperates with the first inlet pipe to abut against the adjusting member and fix the adjusting member relative to the first inlet pipe. Therefore, when connecting the water outlet control device to the concealed pipe fitting, the ends of the first and second inlet pipes corresponding to the concealed pipe fitting can be connected to the joints of the concealed pipe fitting firstly, and then the adjusting member is fitted onto the first inlet pipe. At this time, a spirit level can be used to measure the two ends of the concealed pipe fitting. If the connector is not horizontal, the adjusting member can be moved along the second direction to make it horizontal with the second inlet pipe. Then, the first fixing member cooperates with the first inlet pipe, with the first fixing member abutting against the adjusting member and fixing the adjusting member relative to the first inlet pipe, keeping it on the same horizontal plane as the second inlet pipe. This allows the water outlet control device to be installed horizontally. Since the first inlet pipe is flexible, it can adapt to deformation when connected to the concealed pipe fittings without affecting the smooth flow of water. It also cooperates with the adjusting member to adjust the water outlet control device to be horizontal when needed. Compared with the prior art, the water outlet control device of this application has lower requirements for the center distance accuracy between the interfaces of the concealed pipe fittings, is easy to adjust horizontally during installation, and is relatively convenient to install and disassemble.

[0018] In the second technical solution, the structure of fixing the adjusting member by threading the first fixing member with the first water inlet pipe is relatively simple and stable. When the first fixing member abuts against the abutting surface, the adjusting member is fixed relative to the first water inlet pipe, and the abutting surface plays a positioning role.

[0019] In the third technical solution, the second water inlet pipe has a rotating shaft. The level is adapted to be sleeved on the rotating shaft to rotate relative to the second water inlet pipe. The support surface is adapted to abut against the free end of the level. Thus, when adjusting the level, the adjusting member moves up and down along the second direction. The free end of the level will move with the up and down movement of the support surface, so that the level rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft to achieve a horizontal position. The leveling operation is relatively simple.

[0020] In the fourth technical solution, the adjusting component is provided with a first through hole so that the first water inlet pipe can pass through and move relative to its inner wall. The structure is relatively simple, and the inner wall of the first through hole has a guiding function.

[0021] In the fifth technical solution, the gasket can increase the stability of the adjusting component relative to the first water inlet pipe. At the same time, on the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the first through hole falls within the projection of the second through hole, which does not affect the movement of the adjusting component relative to the first through hole.

[0022] The sixth technical solution is a structure for a water outlet control device that enables adjustable temperature water outlet from the top spray.

[0023] The seventh technical solution is a structure for a water outlet control device that can achieve multi-functional water outlet, with each water outlet component independently controlling the on / off switching of water.

[0024] In the eighth technical solution, the connecting components include a cold water elbow, a hot water elbow, and an outlet elbow, which facilitates control of the center distance between each elbow. Simultaneously, since the connecting components are concealed within the wall, the outlet pipe can be connected to the outlet elbow along the first direction towards the wall, and the shower pipe of the overhead shower head can also be concealed within the wall accordingly, without occupying space on the surface of the outlet control device along the second direction, thus increasing the available storage space on the surface of the outlet control device. The outlet pipe is flexible, and together with the first inlet pipe, it enables the outlet control device to be adjusted horizontally.

[0025] In the ninth technical solution, the second fixing member is installed inside the housing, the adjusting member is fixedly connected to the second fixing member, and the adjusting member is sleeved on the first water inlet pipe and fixed relative to the first water inlet pipe under the abutment of the first fixing member; while making the fixing of the adjusting member more stable, the structure of fixing the adjusting member through the second fixing member also enhances the strength of the housing.

[0026] In the tenth technical solution, the shower includes the water outlet control device described in any one of the first to ninth technical solutions, and has the corresponding technical effect.

[0027] In the eleventh technical solution, the shower pipe can be installed either exposed or concealed, which can meet the needs of different users and / or installation environments. Attached Figure Description

Then rotate the first fixing member 93 to make it threadedly engage with the first water inlet connector 41 to lock the adjusting member 91 and fix the adjusting member 91 relative to the first water inlet pipe 4 to keep it on the same horizontal plane as the second water inlet pipe 5. Then connect the water outlet pipe 6 and the connecting assembly 70 so that the water outlet control device can be installed horizontally. Since the first water inlet pipe body 42 and the water outlet pipe body 62 are flexible pipes, they can adapt to deformation without affecting the smooth flow of water when connected to the concealed pipe, and cooperate with the adjusting member 91 to adjust the water outlet control device to be horizontal when needed. Compared with the prior art, the water outlet control device of this application has lower requirements for the center distance accuracy between the interfaces of the concealed pipe, is easy to adjust horizontally during installation, and is more convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connecting component 70 includes a cold water elbow 702, a hot water elbow 703, and a water outlet elbow 704, which facilitates control of the center distance between the elbows. In addition, since the water outlet elbow 704 is concealed in the wall, the water outlet pipe 6 can be connected to the water outlet elbow 704 along the first direction toward the wall. The shower pipe 10 of the overhead shower head 20 can also be concealed in the wall accordingly, without occupying the space on the surface of the top cover 11, thereby increasing the storage space on the surface of the top cover 11. The water outlet pipe 6 is a flexible pipe, which, together with the first water inlet pipe 4, realizes the function of adjusting the horizontal level of the water outlet control device.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first water inlet connector 41 and the second water inlet pipe 5 are respectively equipped with a filter screen and a rectifier, which can filter impurities in the water and make the water flow more stable.

[0067] In this embodiment, the adjusting member 91 is provided with a first through hole 9111 so that the first water inlet connector 41 passes through the first through hole 9111, thereby abutting and cooperating with the side wall of the first through hole 9111 and moving relative to it. The structure is relatively simple, and the side wall of the first through hole 9111 has a guiding function. The adjusting member 91 is inserted with a gasket 92, which can increase its friction with the wall surface, thereby enhancing the stability of the adjusting member 91 and the first water inlet connector 41.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first fixing member 93 is threadedly engaged with the first water inlet connector 41 to abut against the adjusting member 91 so that it is fixed relative to the first water inlet pipe 4. This structure is relatively simple and stable. When the first fixing member 93 abuts against the abutting surface 412, the adjusting member 91 is fixed relative to the first water inlet pipe 4, and the abutting surface 412 has a positioning function.

[0069] In this embodiment, the second water inlet pipe 5 has a rotating shaft 51, which is suitable for fitting the level to rotate relative to it. The support surface 9121 of the adjusting member 91 is suitable for abutting and cooperating with the free end of the level. Thus, when adjusting the level, the adjusting member 91 is moved up and down along the second direction, and the free end of the level will move with the up and down movement of the support surface 9121, so that the level rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 51, thereby achieving a horizontal position. The operation of adjusting the level is relatively simple.

[0070] In this embodiment, the switching valve cores control their respective water outlets, thereby enabling independent control of the water flow of each water outlet component.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second fixing member 8 is fixed to the housing 12 with screws. The second fixing member 8 is provided with a mounting cavity 81. The adjusting member 91 is fixed in the mounting cavity 81 with screws, thereby making the fixing of the adjusting member 91 more stable. In addition, the structure of fixing the second fixing member 8 to the housing 12 and then fixing the adjusting member 91 to the second fixing member 8 enhances the strength of the housing 1.
