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.

[0028] Example

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a handle control mechanism capable of linear reciprocating motion for switching the movement of the valve stem 17 of the valve core 16. It includes a bracket 1 mounted above the valve core 16, with a fixed shaft 2 on which a linearly movable switching component is mounted. The switching component consists of a slider 3 and an adjusting rod 4. The slider 3 has a movable groove 5 adapted to the end of the valve stem 17, and a lever 10 is axially adjustable and connected to the adjusting rod 4.

[0030] The bracket 1 is a support structure that supports the motion conversion component. It can be fixed to the top of the valve body 15 with bolts, providing an installation reference for subsequent components. The fixed shaft 2 is mounted on the bracket 1 to form a sliding track. The movable groove 5 is a mating structure that accommodates the end of the valve stem 17. The groove width is slightly larger than the diameter of the valve stem 17, and the bottom of the groove has clearance space, allowing the valve stem 17 to have room to move when swinging. The adjusting rod 4 is a transmission component that connects the slider 3 and the lever 10. Specifically, it can be a metal rod, and the position of the lever 10 can be precisely adjusted through a threaded engagement.

[0031] Specifically, when the lever 10 drives the slider 3 to move linearly along the fixed shaft 2, the movable groove 5 causes the valve stem 17 to swing. Thus, the horizontal movement of the lever 10 controls the swinging of the valve stem 17. This requires only an opening 19 on the panel 18 for the lever 10 to move. In other words, the opening 19 can accommodate different wall embedment depths of the valve core 16, and the position of the lever 10 can be adjusted using the adjusting rod 4 to maintain the exposed length of the lever 10.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, this solution controls the swing of the valve stem 17 through the linear motion of the lever 10 via a mechanical structure, so that the opening 19 of the panel 18 only needs to match the swing angle of the valve stem 17. Furthermore, the adjustable lever 10 connection method can compensate for installation deviations caused by different wall embedment depths, avoiding inconsistent exposed lengths of the lever 10 due to differences in the position of the valve body 15. The linearly reciprocating handle control mechanism adopts a modular design, allowing for functional upgrades without altering the valve core structure.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the problem of adapting the opening 19 of the panel 18 caused by the difference in wall-embedded installation depth, while ensuring the adjustability and uniformity of the exposed size of the lever 10 under different installation conditions.

[0034] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 4 has an external thread, and the lever 10 has an internal thread for screwing into the adjusting rod 4. An adjusting element 6 is screwed onto the adjusting rod 4 and positioned below the lever 10. The adjusting element 6 can be a nut, or a spring washer can be placed between the lever 10 and the nut to ensure the stability of the connection between the lever 10 and the adjusting rod 4. The threaded engagement structure enables linear adjustment of the lever 10's position, allowing levers 10 of the same specification to adapt to valve core installation requirements at different wall embedment depths.

[0035] In this embodiment, two fixed shafts 2 are arranged side by side. The two fixed shafts 2 are installed parallel to each other on the top of the bracket 1, and the slider 3 has grooves 7 at both ends that are respectively fitted onto the two fixed shafts 2. By arranging the two shafts side by side, the slider 3 is constrained by the fixed shafts 2 on both sides simultaneously, ensuring the stability of the slider 3's movement.

[0036] The inner circumferential wall of the groove 7 is evenly provided with multiple protrusions 8. The groove 7 refers to a channel structure set inside the slider 3 to accommodate the end of the valve stem 17. The protrusions 8 are strip-shaped protrusions distributed along the inner circumferential wall of the groove 7, and their cross-section can be arc-shaped. This, in conjunction with the fixed shaft 2, reduces friction, allowing the slider 3 to slide more smoothly. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the slider 3 is made of POM material, which has certain self-lubricating and wear-resistant properties, further reducing friction and ensuring smooth sliding of the slider 3.

[0037] This embodiment also includes a decorative panel 9, which is sealed to the lever 10 and placed inside the panel 18 to cover the opening 19 on the panel 18. A groove 11 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the lever 10, and a mounting groove 12 is provided in the middle of the decorative panel 9. A sealing ring 13 is placed on the mounting groove 12 and sealed to the groove 11, preventing water from flowing in from the gap between the lever 10 and the decorative panel 9. The decorative panel 9 covers the opening 19 of the panel 18, serving a decorative purpose. Simultaneously, the decorative panel 9, placed inside the panel 18, acts as a guide; when water splashes onto the panel 18 or the decorative panel 9, the water flows down the decorative panel 9 to the bottom of the panel 18 and out from the drain outlet below the panel 18.

[0038] This embodiment also provides a shower device, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a valve body 15 installed within the wall 14, a switch valve core 16 mounted on the valve body 15, and a panel 18 mounted on the wall surface; it also includes a handle control mechanism capable of linear reciprocating motion; a bracket 1 is connected to the valve body 15; and the panel 18 has an opening 19 adapted to the movement of the lever 10. Through this handle control mechanism, the swing of the valve stem 17 is controlled by the linear movement of the lever 10, allowing the opening 19 of the panel 18 to be adapted to different wall embedment depths of the switch valve core 16; the adjustable lever 10 connection method can compensate for installation deviations caused by different wall embedment depths, avoiding inconsistent exposed lengths of the lever 10 due to differences in the position of the valve body 15.

[0039] In this embodiment, the shower panel 18 is sealed to the wall by means of sealing gaskets 20 built into the top and sides. The sealing gaskets 20 are sealing components made of elastic material, specifically rubber or silicone, used to fill the gap between the panel 18 and the wall to prevent water seepage. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the panel 18 so that water flowing from the opening 19 can be discharged through this outlet.
