The application provides a sliding seat and a shower device. The sliding seat comprises a sliding seat body, a moving operation assembly, a support and an elastic locking piece. The sliding seat body is connected with a shower head of the shower device. The support is arranged on a side of the sliding seat body away from the shower head. The elastic locking piece is arranged on the support, and two ends of the elastic locking piece are used for clamping and locking with a locking part of a shower column of the shower device to limit the sliding of the sliding seat body relative to the shower column. The moving operation assembly is movably arranged on the sliding seat body and is in contactable cooperation with the elastic locking piece. When the moving operation assembly is moved under the action of an external force, at least one end of the elastic locking piece is removed from the locking with the locking part to remove the sliding limitation of the sliding seat body. When unlocking is needed, only the moving operation assembly needs to be pressed.

The operation is labor-saving and easy to operate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of shower equipment technology, and more particularly to a slide seat and a shower equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Shower slides are common shower accessories. They have a socket for holding the shower head. By sliding the shower slide up and down, the height of the shower head can be freely adjusted to make it convenient for people of different heights to use.

[0003] Specifically, the shower slide locks itself through friction between a friction block and the shower column. To unlock, the user presses a button to release the friction block from the shower column, allowing adjustment of their relative positions. However, this button-driven unlocking method requires significant pressure and necessitates continuous button pressing, making it laborious and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a shower seat and a shower device that solves the problem of how to easily unlock the shower seat.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a slide block, including a slide block body, a moving operation component, a bracket, and an elastic locking member;

[0006] The bracket is located on one side of the slide body and can be used to slide with the shower column of the shower equipment. The elastic locking member is located on the bracket. The shower column is provided with a locking part, and both ends of the elastic locking member are used to engage with the locking part to lock the slide body relative to the shower column.

[0007] The movable operating component is movably disposed on the slide body and can be contacted with the elastic locking member, so that when the movable operating component moves under the action of external force, it abuts against at least one end of the elastic locking member and releases the locking part, thereby releasing the sliding restriction on the slide body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bracket includes a bracket housing, and the resilient locking member is disposed within the bracket housing;

[0009] The bracket housing is provided with a first clearance opening and a second clearance opening respectively. The moving operation component extends into the bracket housing through the first clearance opening and can be contacted and engaged with the elastic locking member. Both ends of the elastic locking member extend out of the bracket housing through the second clearance opening and can be locked and engaged with the locking part.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bracket further includes a first limiting boss and a second limiting boss disposed within the bracket housing, wherein the outer wall surface of the first limiting boss, the outer wall surface of the second limiting boss, and a portion of the inner wall of the bracket housing together form an accommodating limiting cavity adapted to the elastic locking member.

[0016] In some embodiments, the movable operating component includes a pressing post and a slider connected to the pressing post, the pressing post being movably inserted through the perforation and at least one end of the pressing post extending outside the housing to form the pressing end, and a portion of the slider being located inside the housing and a portion of the slider extending outside the housing through the third clearance opening and engaging with the resilient locking member.

[0017] In some embodiments, the slider includes a main slider and a guide block disposed on the outer periphery of the main slider. The two ends of the main slider are respectively engaged with the pressing post and the elastic locking member. The bracket is provided with a guide slot that allows the guide block to move along the sliding direction of the slide body.

[0018] In some embodiments, the resilient locking member includes a first resilient arm and a second resilient arm arranged at an acute angle, one end of the first resilient arm being connected to one end of the second resilient arm, and the other ends of the first and second resilient arms each having a locking engagement portion for locking with the locking portion. A portion of the moving operating component is located between the first and second resilient arms to move and abut against either the first or second resilient arm until the corresponding locking engagement portion is released from the locking portion.

[0019] In some embodiments, the locking engagement portion is a locking protrusion formed by bending in a direction away from the locking portion, and the locking portion is a plurality of locking slots spaced apart along the axial direction of the shower column. The locking protrusion is used to engage in the locking slots to restrict the sliding of the slide, or to move out of the locking slots to release the sliding restriction on the slide.

[0020] And / or, the elastic locking member further includes an intermediate arm, the two ends of which are respectively connected to one end of the first elastic arm and one end of the second elastic arm, and the intermediate arm extends along the sliding direction of the slide body;

[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a shower device including a shower column, a shower head, and a slide.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This application provides a sliding seat and a shower device. The sliding seat includes a sliding seat body, a moving operation component, a bracket, and an elastic locking member. The bracket is located on the side of the sliding seat body away from the shower head and can be used to slide with the shower column of the shower device. The shower column is provided with a locking part, and the elastic locking member is located on the bracket. Both ends of the elastic locking member are used to engage with the locking part to lock and restrict the sliding of the sliding seat body relative to the shower column. The moving operation component is movably located on the sliding seat body and can contact the elastic locking member so that when the moving operation component moves under the action of external force, it abuts at least one end of the elastic locking member and releases the locking part, thereby releasing the sliding restriction on the sliding seat body. In other words, the sliding seat of this application achieves locking of the sliding seat by setting both ends of the elastic locking member to engage with the locking part on the shower column. When unlocking is required, only a small amount of pressure is needed to press the moving operating component, causing it to abut at least one end of the elastic locking member and unlock from the locking part. The slide can then be manually pushed to slide. Compared to methods that require overcoming friction to lock the slide, this embodiment does not require continuous pressure on the moving operating component for unlocking, making the entire operation more effortless and easier. Once the slide reaches the preset position, the user simply releases the pressure, allowing the unlocked end of the elastic locking member to re-engage with the locking part under elastic force, achieving reliable locking. The entire structure is simple and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0050] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 18 As shown, this embodiment provides a slide block, including a slide block body 100, a moving operation component 200, a bracket 300, and an elastic locking component 400.

[0052] The slide body 100 is used to connect with the shower head 500 of the shower equipment. The bracket 300 is located on the side of the slide body 100 away from the shower head 500 and is used to slide with the shower column 600 of the shower equipment. The shower column 600 is provided with a locking part 610. The elastic locking member 400 is located on the bracket 300, and both ends of the elastic locking member 400 are used to engage with the locking part 610 to lock and restrict the sliding of the slide body 100 relative to the shower column 600.

[0053] The movable operating component 200 is movably disposed on the slide body 100 and can be contacted and engaged with the elastic locking member 400, so that when the movable operating component 200 moves under the action of external force, it releases at least one end of the elastic locking member 400 from the locking part 610, thereby releasing the sliding restriction on the slide body 100.

[0054] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 As shown, a snap-fit ​​slot 710 is provided on one side of the slide body 100 for plugging into the shower head 500. A bracket 300 is provided on the other side of the slide body 100. An elastic locking member 400 is mounted on the bracket 300, and both ends of the elastic locking member 400 are snap-fitted into the locking portion 610 on the shower column 600. Therefore, the slide body 100 cannot be positioned relative to the shower column 600 along the height direction of the shower column 600 (see reference). Figure 1 Slide the shower head (in the z direction as shown) to adjust the height of the shower head 500.

[0055] The movable operating component 200 is movably disposed on the slide body 100 and can be contactively engaged with the resilient locking component 400.

[0056] For example, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, when both ends of the elastic locking member 400 are engaged and locked with the locking part 610, the moving operating component 200 and the elastic locking member 400 do not contact each other and no resisting force is generated. The slide is in a locked state, which can be referred to as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown.

[0057] When it is necessary to unlock the sliding body 100, the moving operation component 200 can be pressed along either end to unlock it. For example, the two ends of the elastic locking member 400 can be set along the height direction of the shower column 600 (i.e., the sliding direction of the sliding body 100, see specific reference). Figure 1 When the z-direction (as shown) is set relative to the reference, Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown (unlocked downwards, i.e., the pressing pressure is downwards), the moving operation component 200 can be pressed downwards. The moving operation component 200 will then abut against the lower end of the elastic locking member 400, moving downwards and releasing from the locking part 610. At this point, the slide can slide relative to the shower column 600. Alternatively, refer to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown (unlocking upwards, i.e., pressing upwards), the moving operation component 200 can also be pressed upwards. At this time, the moving operation component 200 will abut against the upper end of the elastic locking member 400 and move upwards, releasing the locking part 610. At this time, the slide can slide relative to the shower column 600.

[0058] In other words, whether the movable operating component 200 is pressed upwards or downwards, as long as either end of the elastic locking member 400 is pressed against the locking part 610 to release the locking operation of the slide, the slide can be manually pushed to adjust its height.

[0059] In this embodiment, the slide block is locked by engaging the two ends of the elastic locking member 400 with the locking part 610 on the shower column 600. When unlocking is required, simply press the moving operation component 200 once. This causes the moving operation component 200 to abut against at least one end of the elastic locking member 400 and unlock with the locking part 610. Then, the slide block can be manually pushed to slide. Compared to methods that require overcoming friction to unlock the slide block, this embodiment requires less pressing force to move at least one end of the elastic locking member 400 and unlock with the locking part 610. Furthermore, compared to methods that require continuously pressing a button to overcome friction while sliding the slide block, this embodiment does not require continuous pressing of the moving operation component 200 to apply force when unlocking. Therefore, the entire operation is more effortless and easier to operate. Once the slide reaches the preset position, the user can simply release the lever to allow the end of the elastic locking member 400 that is unlocked from the locking part 610 to re-engage with the locking part 610 under the action of elastic force, thus achieving reliable locking. The entire structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 , Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 300 includes a bracket housing 310, and an elastic locking member 400 is disposed within the bracket housing 310.

[0061] The bracket housing 310 is provided with a first clearance opening 311 and a second clearance opening 312. The moving operation component 200 extends into the bracket housing 310 through the first clearance opening 311 and can be contacted and engaged with the elastic locking member 400. Both ends of the elastic locking member 400 extend out of the bracket housing 310 through the second clearance opening 312 and can be locked and engaged with the locking part 610.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the elastic locking member 400 can be disposed inside the bracket housing 310 to accommodate and limit the elastic locking member 400. In order for the elastic locking member 400 to be locked with the locking part 610 and to be able to contact with the moving operation component 200, a first clearance opening 311 needs to be provided on the side of the bracket housing 310 facing the moving operation component 200, so that part of the moving operation component 200 can extend into the bracket housing 310 through the first clearance opening 311 and make contact with the elastic locking member 400.

[0063] Meanwhile, a second clearance opening 312 is provided on the side of the bracket housing 310 facing the locking part 610, so that both ends of the elastic locking member 400 can extend through the first clearance opening 311 and lock into the locking part 610.

[0064] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the second clearance opening 312 being too large, which would allow water or foreign objects to easily enter the bracket housing 310, and to ensure that both ends of the elastic locking member 400 can extend out of the bracket housing 310, the second clearance opening 312 can be configured to include two, with the two second clearance openings 312 respectively corresponding to the two ends of the elastic locking member 400, so that the two ends of the elastic locking member 400 can just extend out through the corresponding second clearance opening 312.

[0065] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 300 further includes a first limiting boss 320 and a second limiting boss 330 disposed within the bracket housing 310. The outer wall surface of the first limiting boss 320, the outer wall surface of the second limiting boss 330, and a portion of the inner wall of the bracket housing 310 together form an accommodating limiting cavity 340 adapted to the elastic locking member 400.

[0066] In other words, the outer wall surfaces of the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330, as well as part of the inner wall surface of the bracket housing 310, can be enclosed to form a receiving limiting cavity 340. The elastic locking member 400 is disposed in the receiving limiting cavity 340 to ensure the stability of the relative position of the elastic locking member 400 and the bracket housing 310.

[0067] For example, the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 can be designed to conform to the outer contour shape of the elastic locking member 400. For instance, the elastic locking member 400 is as follows: Figure 17 The V-shaped structure shown allows the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 to form a trapezoidal structure.

[0068] Alternatively, in other implementations, a snap-locking and limiting elastic locking element 400 can be provided inside the bracket housing 310.

[0069] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 are spaced apart along the sliding direction perpendicular to the slide body 100, and the gap between the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 forms a limiting space 350 extending along the sliding direction of the slide body 100. A portion of the moving operation component 200 is disposed within the limiting space 350 and can move along the limiting space 350.

[0070] In other words, in addition to accommodating and limiting the elastic locking member 400, the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 in this embodiment are spaced apart along the sliding direction perpendicular to the slide body 100, so that the gap between them can just accommodate the part of the moving operation component 200 that extends into the bracket housing 310, and this part of the moving operation component 200 can move along the limiting space 350, so as to reliably guide and limit the movement of the moving operation component 200 when it moves, so as to avoid the problem that the pressing will cause deviation and fail to reliably push and unlock the elastic locking member 400.

[0071] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket housing 310 may include a cavity housing 313 and a base plate 314. The cavity housing 313 has an inner cavity with an opening facing away from the slide body 100. The elastic locking member 400, the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 are all located in the inner cavity. The base plate 314 covers the opening. The first clearance opening 311 and the second clearance opening 312 are both provided in the cavity housing 313.

[0072] In a practical implementation, to facilitate the placement of the elastic locking member 400, the first limiting boss 320, and the second limiting boss 330 within the bracket housing 310, the bracket housing 310 can be configured as two parts: a cavity housing 313 and a base plate 314. These two parts are connected and enclose each other to form an inner cavity. Specifically, the base plate 314 can cover the opening of the cavity housing 313, and the two parts can be fastened together, or they can be screwed together.

[0073] For example, the first limiting boss 320 and the second limiting boss 330 are integrally formed with the bracket housing 310, which saves manufacturing steps and improves the structural strength of the entire bracket housing 310.

[0074] Reference Figures 13 to 14 As shown, the bracket 300 is provided with a first connection hole 370, and the slide body 100 is provided with a second connection hole. The bracket 300 is connected to the slide body 100 by fasteners 315 passing through the first connection hole 370 and the second connection hole, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the two.

[0075] For example, one of the first connecting hole 370 and the second connecting hole can be a smooth hole, and the other of the first connecting hole 370 and the second connecting hole can be a threaded hole, and the fastener 315 can be a bolt or a screw. Alternatively, both the first connecting hole 370 and the second connecting hole can be smooth holes, and the fastener 315 can be a fastening pin.

[0076] Alternatively, in other implementations, the bracket 300 and the slide body 100 can also be snapped together and fixed.

[0077] Reference Figures 1 to 12 , Figure 18 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide body 100 includes a housing 110, on which a through hole 111 is provided along the sliding direction of the slide body 100. The movable operation component 200 is movably disposed in the through hole 111, and a portion of the movable operation component 200 extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. A third clearance opening 112 is provided on the side of the housing 110 facing the bracket 300, and a portion of the movable operation component 200 can be contacted and engaged with the elastic locking member 400 through the third clearance opening 112.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the housing 110 has an inner cavity, and the cavity wall of the inner cavity is provided with a through hole 111. The through hole 111 is provided through the sliding direction of the slide body 100. That is, the cavity walls on both sides of the inner cavity are provided with through holes 111. The moving operation component 200 is movably inserted into the through hole 111 and partially extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210, so that the user can press the pressing end 210 to push against either end of the elastic locking member 400 to move and release the locking part 610 from locking.

[0079] Part of the movable operating component 200 is located in the housing 110, and another part extends into the bracket 300 through the third clearance opening 112 on the housing 110 and the first clearance opening 311 on the bracket 300 to engage with the resilient locking member 400.

[0080] Specifically, when unlocking is required, force can be applied to the pressing end 210. The pressing end 210 moves, causing the entire moving operation component 200 to move and abut against one end of the elastic locking member 400 until it is released from the locking part 610.

[0081] For example, refer to Figure 18 As shown, the upper end of the movable operation component 200 extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. At this time, a downward pressing force can be applied to the pressing end 210, causing the pressing end 210 to move downward and drive the movable operation component 200 as a whole to move downward, causing the lower end of the elastic locking member 400 to move to release the locking part 610. At this time, the slide can slide relative to the shower column 600 to achieve position adjustment.

[0082] For example, refer to Figure 18 As shown, the lower end of the movable operation component 200 extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. At this time, an upward pressing force can be applied to the pressing end 210, causing the pressing end 210 to move upward and drive the movable operation component 200 to move upward as a whole, causing the upper end of the elastic locking member 400 to move to release the locking part 610. At this time, the slide can slide relative to the shower column 600 to achieve position adjustment.

[0083] Or, refer to Figure 18 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the movable operation component 200 can also be set to extend out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. In this case, an upward pressing force can be applied to the lower pressing end 210 or a downward pressing force can be applied to the upper pressing end 210, depending on the actual situation. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0084] Specifically, the housing 110 may include a main housing 115 and a housing plate 114, which are fastened or snapped together to form an air chamber for accommodating the pressing column 220. The main housing 115 is provided with a perforation 111 and a third clearance opening 112.

[0085] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 16 and Figure 18As shown, in some embodiments, the movable operation component 200 includes a pressing post 220 and a slider 230 connected to the pressing post 220. The pressing post 220 is movably disposed in the through hole 111 and at least one end of the pressing post 220 extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. Part of the slider 230 is located inside the housing 110 and part of the slider 230 extends out of the housing 110 through the third clearance opening 112 and is in contact with the resilient locking member 400.

[0086] In practice, a portion of the pressing post 220 extends out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. The slider 230 and the pressing post 220 can be engaged by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit. When unlocking is required, the pressing post 220 can be pressed, causing the pressing post 220 to move and drive the slider 230 to move. The slider 230 moves and abuts against either end of the elastic locking member 400 until it is released from locking with the locking part 610.

[0087] For example, the pressing post 220 can be configured so that both its upper and lower ends extend out of the housing 110 to form a pressing end 210. In this case, the length of the pressing post 220 needs to be set to be greater than the length of the housing 110 along the moving direction of the pressing post 220. The specific length difference can be set according to actual needs.

[0088] Furthermore, since part of the slider 230 extends out of the housing 110 through the third clearance hole, the slider 230 effectively limits the pressing post 220. Because the slider 230 is located inside the third clearance opening 112 of the housing 110, the pressing post 220 will not fall off the housing 110.

[0089] Reference Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 230 includes a main slider 231 and a guide block 232 disposed on the outer periphery of the main slider 231. The two ends of the main slider 231 are respectively engaged with the pressing column 220 and the elastic locking member 400. The bracket 300 is provided with a guide slot 360 for the guide block 232 to move along the height direction of the shower column 600.

[0090] In practice, the main slider 231 and the pressing post 220 can be engaged by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit. When unlocking is required, the pressing post 220 can be pressed, causing the pressing post 220 to move and drive the main slider 231 to move. The main slider 231 moves and abuts against either end of the elastic locking member 400 until it is released from the locking part 610.

[0091] Meanwhile, a guide block 232 is provided on the outer periphery of the main slider 231. The guide block 232 can move along the guide groove 360 ​​on the housing 110, so that the main slider 231 can be guided while it moves.

[0092] Furthermore, a portion of the main slider 231 extends into the bracket 300 via the third clearance opening 112 and the first clearance opening 311 and is located within the limiting space 350. In other words, in this embodiment, when the slider 230 moves, it can be reliably and accurately guided by the dual guiding action of the guide slot 360 and the limiting space 350, thus avoiding skewing that could affect the abutment and unlocking operation of the elastic locking member 400.

[0093] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic locking member 400 includes a first elastic arm 410 and a second elastic arm 420 arranged at an acute angle. One end of the first elastic arm 410 is connected to one end of the second elastic arm 420. The other ends of the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 each have a locking engagement portion 430 for locking with the locking portion 610. A partial moving operation component 200 is located between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420, so that when the moving operation component 200 moves and abuts against either the first elastic arm 410 or the second elastic arm 420, the corresponding locking engagement portion 430 is released from locking with the locking portion 610.

[0094] In practice, the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 are set at an acute angle. This setting allows the other end of the first elastic arm 410 and the other end of the second elastic arm 420 to be set towards the direction close to the locking part 610, so as to engage with the locking part 610 to lock the slide.

[0095] For example, the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 may be set at an acute angle so that the elastic locking member 400 can be set in a V-shape as a whole.

[0096] The other end of the first elastic arm 410 and the other end of the second elastic arm 420 are provided with locking engagement parts 430, so that when both locking engagement parts 430 are engaged with the locking part 610, the slide is in a locked state, that is, it cannot slide relative to the shower column 600. When either of the two locking engagement parts 430 is disengaged from the locking part 610, the slide is in an unlocked state, that is, it can slide relative to the shower column 600.

[0097] Furthermore, to facilitate unlocking by engaging with either the first elastic arm 410 or the second elastic arm 420, a portion of the movable operating component 200 extending into the bracket 300 can be positioned between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420. This allows the movable operating component 200 to move against the first elastic arm 410 when an external force is applied to it, thereby disengaging the locking engagement portion 430 from the locking portion 610. Alternatively, when an external force is applied to the movable operating component 200 towards the second elastic arm 420, it can move against the second elastic arm 420, disengaging the locking engagement portion 430 from the locking portion 610. By positioning a portion of the movable operating component 200 between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420, it is possible to flexibly choose to engage with either the first elastic arm 410 or the second elastic arm 420 to unlock, thus increasing operational flexibility.

[0098] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking engagement portion 430 is a locking protrusion formed by bending in a direction away from the locking portion 610, and the locking portion 610 is a plurality of locking slots 611 spaced apart along the axial direction of the shower column 600. The locking protrusion is used to engage in the locking slots 611 to restrict the sliding of the slide, or to move out of the locking slots 611 to release the sliding restriction on the slide.

[0099] Reference Figure 11 As shown, when both locking protrusions at both ends of the elastic locking member 400 are engaged in the corresponding two locking slots 611, the slide is in a locked state. (Refer to...) Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, when one of the two locking protrusions separates from the corresponding locking slot 611, the slide is in the unlocked state.

[0100] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 17 As shown, the locking protrusion is formed by bending the other end of the first elastic arm 410 and the other end of the second elastic arm 420 toward the direction away from the locking part 610. The whole structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0101] For example, the resilient locking element 400 is made of metal sheet or plastic, as long as it has sufficient elastic deformation capability.

[0102] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic locking member 400 further includes an intermediate arm 440, the two ends of which are respectively connected to one end of the first elastic arm 410 and one end of the second elastic arm 420. The intermediate arm 440 extends along the sliding direction of the slide body 100, so as to facilitate the connection between the first elastic arm 410 and the second elastic arm 420 and avoid the problem that the structure volume of the entire elastic locking member 400 would be large if one end of the first elastic arm 410 and one end of the second elastic arm 420 were directly connected without the intermediate arm 440.

[0103] For example, the first elastic arm 410, the second elastic arm 420 and the intermediate arm 440 can be integrally formed to save manufacturing steps while improving the structural strength of the entire elastic locking member 400.

[0104] In addition, for ease of operation, the moving operation component 200 is configured to move along the height direction of the shower column 600. At this time, the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm 420 are also arranged sequentially along the height direction of the shower column 600. Therefore, the intermediate arm 440 can be configured to extend along the sliding direction of the slide body 100, that is, extend along the height direction of the shower column 600, making the structure of the entire elastic locking component 400 simpler.

[0105] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the shower column 600 is provided with a sliding groove 620, at least a portion of the bracket 300 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 620, and a locking part 610 is provided on one side wall of the sliding groove 620.

[0106] In other words, the bracket 300 can slide along the sliding groove 620, which makes the sliding of the slide block more stable and prevents it from tilting. A locking part 610 is provided on one side wall of the sliding groove 620 to facilitate locking with the elastic locking member 400.

[0107] Reference Figures 1 to 20 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides a shower device including a shower column 600, a shower head 500, and a sliding seat.

[0108] The specific structure and implementation principle of the slide in this embodiment are the same as those of the slide provided in the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar technical effects. They will not be described in detail here. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments.

[0109] In a specific implementation, the slide also includes a mounting base 700 located on the side of the slide body 100 away from the bracket 300. The mounting base 700 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 710, and the shower head 500 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 710 to achieve the purpose of reliably fixing the shower head 500 on the slide.

[0110] For example, the mounting base and the slide body 100 can be bolted together or snap-fitted together.

[0111] In the description of the embodiments of this application, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0112] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
