Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a shower pipe that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, overhead showerheads have gradually become a common bathroom product. Overhead showerheads generally require a shower hose for support and installation. These shower hoses are mostly integral structures, and because the fittings are made of one piece of metal, they are quite heavy, which increases the difficulty of installation for workers. In addition, shower hoses are mostly installed close to the wall, making it impossible for workers to use tools with high torque to tighten the fittings when installing them, further increasing the difficulty of installation and reducing the efficiency of shower hose installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a shower pipe that is easy to install, which aims to make it easier for workers to install shower pipe fittings and improve the installation efficiency of the fittings.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a shower pipe that is easy to install, comprising:
[0005] The positioning cylinder has a locking cylinder rotatably connected to both ends, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to each locking cylinder, and a locking sleeve is hinged to each positioning plate. The locking sleeve is detachably fixedly connected to the end of the positioning plate away from the hinge.
[0006] The shower pipe body is fixedly connected between the positioning plate and the locking sleeve, and locking nuts are rotatably connected to both ends of the shower pipe body;
[0007] A quick-connect assembly is disposed on one side of the positioning cylinder and is used to fix the position of the positioning cylinder.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the quick-connect component includes:
[0009] Two limiting sleeves are coaxially arranged on both sides of the positioning cylinder and are detachably fixed to the wall. Each limiting sleeve has a slidable locking block inside, and each locking block is engaged with the adjacent locking cylinder.
[0010] Two limiting springs are provided, which are disposed between the limiting sleeve and the locking block.
[0011] In one possible implementation, a receiving plate is slidably connected inside the limiting sleeve, and a receiving column is fixedly connected to the receiving plate on the side facing the positioning cylinder. The locking block is slidably connected to the receiving column, and the limiting spring is sleeved on the receiving column. The two ends of the limiting spring abut against the locking block and the receiving plate, respectively.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the positioning cylinder has a positioning groove, and the shape of the end of the positioning block facing the positioning cylinder is the same as the inner wall shape of the positioning groove.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the limiting sleeve is provided with a transmission groove, and the transmission groove is connected to the side of the locking block with a limiting groove. The outer wall of the receiving plate is fixedly connected with a positioning pin, which abuts against both the inner wall of the transmission groove and the inner wall of the limiting groove. The lower side of the locking block is fixedly connected with a transmission pin, which is used to cooperate with the locking sleeve to drive the receiving plate to rotate.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the positioning cylinder has a first threaded surface on the side near the positioning cylinder, and the receiving column has a second threaded surface on the cylindrical surface facing the positioning cylinder.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the locking nut is provided with a quick-connect groove.
[0016] This utility model's technical solution simplifies the installation process of the positioning cylinder by incorporating a limiting spring and a locking block in the quick-connect assembly, making it more convenient. The quick-connect assembly, by releasing the spring force, clamps the locking block onto the positioning cylinder, thus fixing it and simplifying the installation steps. This design allows the shower pipe to be fixed in a suspended position away from the wall, facilitating precise and efficient installation of the upper and lower pipe fittings. Workers can use tools with greater torque or less effort, improving installation efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, the positioning cylinder is only restrained by the elastic force of the limiting spring, allowing for easy removal when the shower pipe needs to be disassembled or replaced, facilitating the replacement of a new shower pipe. The quick-connect assembly only limits the relative position of the shower pipe, ensuring its stability and avoiding the risk of loosening between fittings. After installation, the weight of the shower pipe is supported by the connection between the fittings, ensuring overall stability, especially when the water pipe is connected to the bottom of the shower pipe; the quick-connect assembly design ensures the stability of the entire pipe, preventing quality problems caused by unstable installation. Furthermore, once the relative height of the shower pipes is confirmed, workers can smoothly proceed with subsequent work, such as tiling the walls or floors, further improving the overall efficiency of the project. This design not only simplifies the installation, disassembly, and replacement steps, saving time and ensuring high-quality installation results, but also enhances the overall processing efficiency of the project, providing greater convenience for construction.

[0025] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0027] This utility model proposes a shower pipe that is easy to install.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 ,include:
[0029] Positioning cylinder 11, with positioning cylinders 12 rotatably connected to both ends of positioning cylinder 11, positioning plates 13 fixedly connected to each positioning cylinder 12, and positioning sleeves 14 hinged to each positioning plate 13, with positioning sleeves 14 and positioning plates 13 being detachably fixedly connected.
[0030] Shower pipe body 15 is fixedly connected between positioning plate 13 and locking sleeve 14, and locking nuts 16 are rotatably connected to both ends of shower pipe body 15.
[0031] A quick-connect assembly is provided on one side of the positioning cylinder 11 to fix the position of the positioning cylinder 11.
[0032] This application presents a modular design for the integrated shower pipe fittings. After fixing the position of the shower pipe body 15, other fittings are then installed onto it, facilitating transportation to the shower room and reducing transportation costs. Furthermore, the detachable connection (preferably threaded) between the locking sleeve 14 and the positioning plate 13 allows for the adaptation of shower pipe bodies 15 of different lengths, enhancing adaptability and practicality. Combined with the quick-connect component design, the positioning cylinder 11 enables rapid installation, allowing workers to quickly and accurately determine the relative position of the shower pipe body 15 within the shower room. When the shower pipe body 15 is suspended, the fittings connected to its upper and lower ends are not interfered with by the wall, providing greater operating space. This allows workers to use tools more conveniently, ensuring smoother tightening of the fittings to the shower pipe body 15, thereby improving installation efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, the shower pipe body 15 needs to be pre-installed before bathroom tiling to ensure accurate relative height. With the help of quick-connect components, workers can easily remove the installed and positioned shower pipe 15, further improving the overall efficiency of the project and making the entire installation process more efficient and precise.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The quick-connect components include:
[0034] Two limiting sleeves 21 are coaxially arranged on both sides of the positioning cylinder 11 and are detachably fixed to the wall. Each limiting sleeve 21 has a sliding locking block 22 inside, and each locking block 22 is engaged with the adjacent locking cylinder 12.
[0035] Two limiting springs 23 are provided, and the limiting springs 23 are disposed between the limiting sleeve 21 and the locking block 22;
[0036] By releasing their own spring force through the two limiting springs 23 in the quick-connect assembly, the locking block 22 clamps the locking cylinder 12 towards the center, thereby limiting and locking the positioning cylinder 11, simplifying the installation process of the positioning cylinder 11 and making it more convenient. In this way, the shower pipe body 15 can be fixed away from the wall, in a suspended state, making it easier for workers to install the upper and lower connecting fittings of the shower pipe body 15 more accurately and efficiently. This allows workers to use greater torque or less effort tools to install the fittings, improving installation efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, similarly, the positioning cylinder 11 is only affected by the spring force of the limiting springs 23. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the shower pipe body 15, the positioning cylinder 11 can also be easily removed, meaning the shower pipe body 15 can be easily removed. This convenient removal operation allows the locking sleeve 14 and the positioning plate 13 to re-fix the replaced shower pipe body 15. It's worth noting that the lowest end of the shower pipe connects to a water pipe pre-embedded in the building's foundation. Therefore, most of the weight of the shower pipe body 15 is supported by the connections between the pipes. The quick-connect fittings only limit the relative position of the shower pipe body 15, ensuring its stability after all fittings are installed. Furthermore, workers can smoothly proceed with the next installation step, such as tiling the walls or floors, after confirming the relative height of the shower pipe body 15. This effectively improves the overall project's processing efficiency, simplifies installation, disassembly, and replacement steps, saves time, and ensures installation quality.
[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The limiting sleeve 21 is slidably connected to the receiving plate 24. The receiving plate 24 is fixedly connected to the receiving column 25 on the side facing the positioning cylinder 11. The locking block 22 is slidably connected to the receiving column 25. The limiting spring 23 is sleeved on the receiving column 25. The two ends of the limiting spring 23 abut against the locking block 22 and the receiving plate 24 respectively.
[0038] Based on the clamping and limiting action of the limiting spring 23 on the positioning cylinder 11, a receiving plate 24 is added to further improve installation stability and adjustability. After the user or worker completes the installation of the fittings connecting the upper and lower ends of the shower pipe 15, the shower pipe 15 can be flipped towards the wall to achieve the purpose of installing the shower pipe 15. A screw is installed on the closed plane at one end of the limiting sleeve 21 (not shown in the figure, but since this description is easy for those skilled in the art to understand, it will not be elaborated further). The relative position of the receiving plate 24 in the limiting sleeve 21 is adjusted by rotating the screw. This adjustment operation can precisely control the clamping force of the limiting spring 23, thereby achieving a more stable installation of the positioning cylinder 11 between the limiting sleeves 21 on both sides. By adjusting the screw, the user or worker can easily adjust the position of the receiving plate 24 according to actual needs to achieve the best clamping effect. This effectively enhances the installation stability of the positioning cylinder 11, ensuring that the locking cylinders 12 on both sides can firmly fix the positioning cylinder 11, preventing loosening or displacement due to improper installation. This adjustment mechanism allows workers to flexibly control the clamping force, improving installation accuracy and facilitating subsequent maintenance and adjustments.
[0039] Reference Figures 4 to 5 The positioning cylinder 12 has a positioning groove 121, and the shape of the end of the positioning block 22 facing the positioning cylinder 12 is the same as the inner wall shape of the positioning groove 121.
[0040] By designing a suitable slot shape, the locking block 22 can achieve a more precise and snug fit with the locking cylinder 12. This design not only ensures a tight fit between the locking block 22 and the locking cylinder 12, providing a larger contact area during installation—that is, further distributing the force and making the connection more secure—but also effectively guides the alignment process. During installation, users or workers can easily align the locking block 22 and the locking cylinder 12; the slot shape provides clear indications, making the installation process simpler and more intuitive. Furthermore, this design significantly improves installation efficiency, as workers or users can quickly find the correct alignment and complete the installation, reducing the time spent on adjustments and repetitive operations. This innovative slot adaptation design not only improves installation accuracy but also ensures the stability and durability of the overall system.
[0041] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The inner wall of the limiting sleeve 21 is provided with a transmission groove 211. The transmission groove 211 is connected to the side of the locking block 22 and a limiting groove 212 is provided. The outer wall of the receiving plate 24 is fixedly connected with a positioning pin 213. The positioning pin 213 abuts against the inner wall of the transmission groove 211 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 212. The lower side of the locking block 22 is fixedly connected with a transmission pin 214, which is used to cooperate with the locking sleeve 12 to drive the limiting sleeve 21 to rotate.
[0042] After the user or worker installs the limiting sleeve 21, the shower pipe body 15 rotates towards the wall with the positioning cylinder 11 as the rotation center. The inner wall of the locking cylinder 12 drives the locking block 22 to rotate via the transmission pin 214. Due to the sliding and synchronous rotation relationship between the locking block 22 and the receiving column 25, the receiving column 25 and the receiving plate 24 also rotate. At this time, the receiving plate 24, through the abutment relationship between the positioning pin 213 and the inner wall of the transmission groove 211 and the limiting groove 212, continuously presses the receiving plate 24 towards the positioning cylinder 11 during rotation, thereby increasing the clamping effect on the positioning cylinder 11 with the locking cylinder 12, further limiting the positioning cylinder 11. When the receiving plate 24 rotates to a certain position, the positioning pin 213 slides into the limiting groove 212, marking the fixation of the positioning cylinder 11's position. Simultaneously, the side of the locking block 22 closest to the locking cylinder 12 also makes close contact with the locking cylinder 12, thus achieving a secure fixation of the positioning cylinder 11. This process effectively improves the positioning and fixing effect of the positioning cylinder 11, ensuring the stability of the shower pipe body 15. With the positioning cylinder 11 fixed, the shower pipe body 15 also achieves relative positional fixation, thus ensuring effective limiting of the connection between the fitting and the upper and lower ends of the shower pipe body 15. This design not only makes the installation process more precise but also facilitates the installation operation of the shower pipe body 15 by workers, improving installation efficiency and reducing potential installation errors. Ultimately, the connection between the positioning cylinder 11 and the shower pipe body 15 is stable and secure, ensuring safety and reliability during long-term use.
[0043] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The inner wall of the positioning cylinder 12 is provided with a first threaded surface 122 on the side near the positioning cylinder 11, and the cylindrical surface of the receiving column 25 facing the positioning cylinder 11 is provided with a second threaded surface 251.
[0044] After the receiving column 25 moves down a certain distance via the receiving plate 24 in a spiral manner, the cylindrical surface of the receiving column 25 facing the positioning cylinder 11 approaches the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 12 and connects with the thread on one side of the positioning cylinder 11. In this way, the contact between the receiving column 25 and the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 12, as well as the threaded connection, effectively fixes the relative position between the two receiving plates 24 and the positioning cylinder 11, ensuring the stability of the overall system. With this connection completed, the fixed position of the shower pipe 15 is ensured, avoiding potential shaking or loosening during use. This process not only allows the shower pipe 15, after installation, to be flush against the wall, but also secures its position, improving the product's practicality and installation efficiency. Similarly, when the shower pipe 15 needs to be disassembled, simply grasp it and pull it away from the wall to loosen its relative position, facilitating disassembly.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 2 The locking nut 16 has a quick-connect groove 161;
[0046] By incorporating the quick-connect groove 161, the positioning and installation process between the outer pipe body and the locking nut 16 is effectively simplified. The quick-connect groove 161 provides a precise mating position for the pipe body and the locking nut 16, allowing workers or users to more easily align them. The quick-connect groove 161 helps the outer surface of the pipe body precisely align with the locking nut 16, ensuring smooth tightening and avoiding the problems previously caused by inaccurate alignment or difficulty in tightening. This design reduces the need for repeated adjustments to the alignment of the pipe body and locking nut 16 during installation, lowering the installation difficulty. Furthermore, the installation process becomes more efficient and convenient, effectively improving work efficiency and reducing potential malfunctions or safety issues caused by improper installation.
