Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, shower installations typically involve pre-embedded cold and hot water inlet pipes in the wall. These pipes often exhibit slight angles or deviations in spacing and position. To overcome these deviations, existing showers generally use independent accessories such as S-pipes, universal joints, or thickened gaskets. However, when using these independent accessories, their thickness increases significantly as they are stacked layer by layer along the vertical wall, wasting space and affecting aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the background technology and provide a shower that, compared with the prior art, can adapt to the deviation of the pre-embedded water inlet pipe, realize ultra-thin wall-mounted concealed installation, or provide a material basis for solving the above problems.

[0015] The seventh technical solution is based on any one of the second to sixth technical solutions, and further includes a water distribution valve and a second hose installed inside the housing.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0019] In the first technical solution, the shell serves as the basic load-bearing structure. On the side of the shell that is in contact with the wall, corresponding to the positions of the first and second water inlet pipes, a first through hole and a second through hole are respectively provided. This allows the first and second water inlet components to pass through the first and second through holes along the Y-axis direction from the position close to the wall and connect to the first and second water inlet pipes. A mixing component is disposed within the shell and has a first water inlet end, a second water inlet end, and a mixing outlet end. The second water inlet end and the mixing outlet end extend along the X-axis direction parallel to the wall surface. The third water inlet end of the first water inlet component passes through the first through hole and connects to the first water inlet pipe. The first outlet end and the third water inlet end are positioned opposite each other and connected to the first water inlet end of the mixing component, so that the connection between the first water inlet component, the first water inlet pipe, and the first water inlet end forms a straight line. The connection not only shortens the distance between the housing and the wall, but also provides a positioning reference for installing the shower. The second outlet and fourth inlet of the second water inlet are arranged in a cross-axis configuration, and are connected to the second inlet of the mixing component in conjunction with the first hose extending along the X-axis. Compared with the existing technology, this structure does not require the water inlet to extend away from the wall to accommodate the deviation of the pre-embedded interface position. Instead, it effectively reduces the distance between the housing and the wall along the Y-axis through the structure of the water inlet itself. At the same time, the mixing component is arranged in the housing along the X-axis, and the first hose extends along the X-axis in the same direction as the layout of the mixing component, further reducing the space occupied in the thickness direction of the housing. This allows the entire shower housing to be as close to the wall as possible, improving space utilization.

[0020] In the second technical solution, the second water outlet and the fourth water inlet of the second water inlet are designed vertically. When the fourth water inlet passes through the second through hole of the housing and connects to the second water inlet pipe embedded in the wall, the rotation of the fourth water inlet causes the second water outlet to appear in different positions for the first hose to connect. This avoids increasing the thickness of the shower in the direction perpendicular to the wall and structurally compresses the gap between the shower and the wall. At the same time, by utilizing the characteristics of the first hose and its layout in the housing, the second water outlet can be smoothly connected to the second water inlet of the mixing element through the first hose to form a continuous and compact water path. Compared with the prior art, this technical solution avoids adding extra components and shortens the distance between the shower and the wall in the direction perpendicular to the wall by cooperating with other components through its own structure, reducing space occupation and laying an important foundation for realizing the shower against the wall.

[0021] In the third technical solution, the first inlet end of the mixing unit extends along the Y-axis to connect with the first inlet component, forming a stable connection with the rigid connection of the first inlet component and directly receiving its water flow. This ensures the stability of the rigid positioning and avoids unnecessary space occupation in the vertical wall direction, providing a connection fulcrum for the overall fixation of the mixing unit. The second inlet end and the mixing outlet end extend along the X-axis direction, which is compatible with the layout of the components in the housing along the X-axis direction. Furthermore, the extension of the second inlet end along the X-axis direction allows for direct connection with the first flexible hose. Combined with the vertical design and adjustable characteristics of the second inlet component, the water flow from the second inlet pipe smoothly enters the mixing unit along the X-axis direction after being deflected, reducing the need for additional structures and minimizing space redundancy. The layout of the inlet and outlet ends of the mixing unit compresses the space occupied by the housing in the vertical wall direction, allowing the components to form a compact layout within the housing, providing support for the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower.

[0022] In the fourth technical solution, the one-way valve at the second inlet end only allows water to flow unidirectionally from the second inlet pipe to the mixing element, effectively blocking possible cross-flow or backflow of mixed water during the mixing process, avoiding pipeline abnormalities or contamination caused by backflow, and improving the safety and stability of the shower process; the detachable filter screen at the outlet of the one-way valve can intercept impurities in the water, preventing them from entering the mixing element, reducing the risk of wear or blockage of core components, extending the service life of the shower, and eliminating the need for users to disassemble the entire shower during maintenance and cleaning, shortening operation time and greatly simplifying the maintenance process.

[0023] In the fifth technical solution, the shell is a cuboid structure. The largest surface of the body closest to the wall fits against the wall along the Y-axis, while the smallest surface along the Z-axis compresses the thickness, thus limiting the shell thickness by its shape. The body and the detachable cover form an accommodating space, with internal mixing components, inlet components, hoses, etc., arranged along the X-axis to avoid stacking in the Z-axis direction, ensuring a compact space without forcing the shell to thicken. The precise fit between the cover and the body ensures sealing and structural strength, while also considering ease of assembly and maintenance, and works in conjunction with the internal layout to provide a structural foundation for ultra-thin wall-mounted fitting.

[0024] In the sixth technical solution, the first through hole is adapted to the third water inlet end, providing precise positioning for the first water inlet component to connect to the first water inlet pipe, thus becoming the benchmark for shower installation; the second through hole is larger than the fourth water inlet end, allowing the second water inlet component to flexibly adjust its position when connecting to the second water inlet pipe through the through hole, effectively adapting to the positional deviation of the pre-embedded water pipe.

[0025] In the seventh technical solution, the water distribution valve and the second hose are arranged inside the housing along the X-axis and connected to the mixing outlet end, which further avoids the space occupation in the housing along the Z-axis direction. This ensures smooth water distribution without increasing the thickness of the shower, further consolidating the ultra-thin wall-mounted effect.

[0026] In the eighth technical solution, the layout design of the first operating end of the mixing component and the water distribution operating end of the water distribution valve, while ensuring convenient operation, further consolidates the overall form of the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower. The first operating end of the mixing component extends out of the cover along the Y-axis, which conforms to the user's usage habits for basic operations such as water temperature adjustment, making it easy to operate intuitively during showering without interfering with the overall structure of the shell. Several water distribution operating ends of the water distribution valve protrude from the top of the shell along the Z-axis. The Z-axis is the height direction of the shell, and its protrusion at the top will not increase the thickness of the shell on the side close to the wall, nor will it damage the tight fit between the shell and the wall. Compared with the prior art, this technical solution not only meets the user's operational needs for mixing and water distribution, but also does not destroy the core feature of the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower, while forming a functional and structural unity with the various components inside the shell, thus achieving the ultra-thin wall-mounted effect of the shower.

[0027] In the ninth technical solution, the connection structure between the first hose and the second water outlet not only ensures the reliability of the connection but also further strengthens the foundation for achieving an ultra-thin wall-mounted shower. This structure, through a connection hole into which the first connecting end extends and a screw-in component passes through the threaded hole and embeds into the connection groove, forms a robust mechanical lock. This effectively prevents the first hose and the second water outlet from separating under water pressure or during long-term use, ensuring the sealing and durability of the water circuit connection. Furthermore, the assembly method of this connection structure is simple and reliable, requiring no complex adjustment components. This reduces the risk of increased gaps due to additional accessories and ensures the accuracy of the entire water circuit system layout through a stable connection. This allows the rigid positioning of the first water inlet component and the position adjustment of the second water inlet component to work synergistically, providing more comprehensive structural support for achieving an ultra-thin wall-mounted shower.

[0049] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the shower unit 1 in the embodiment is shown; Figure 2 An exploded view of shower 1 in an embodiment is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shower 1 is used to connect the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4 pre-embedded in the wall 2. In this embodiment, the first water inlet pipe 3 is suitable for connecting to a cold water source, and the second water inlet pipe 4 is suitable for connecting to a hot water source. The shower 1 includes a housing 5, a mixing component 6, a first water inlet component 7, a second water inlet component 8, a first hose 9, a water distribution valve 10, and a second hose 11. The components work together to achieve the functions of mixing hot and cold water, distributing water flow, and supplying water to different water outlet devices.

[0050] See Figure 3 , Figure 3A schematic diagram of the pre-connection between the shower 1 and the wall 2 in an embodiment is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the housing 5 includes a body 12, a cover 13, a first through hole 14, and a second through hole 15. The housing 5 has a cuboid structure and the body 12 and the cover 13 form a closed accommodating space through a detachable connection, which is used to accommodate functional components such as the mixing component 6 and the water distribution valve 10. The side of the body 12 closest to the wall 2 is the largest surface of the body 12. This largest surface is attached to the wall 2 along the Y-axis and is fixed to the body 12 and the wall 2 by fasteners 16 passing through the mounting holes 17. Specifically, the largest surface is also provided with a first through hole 14 and a second through hole 15, which correspond to the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4 pre-embedded in the wall 2, respectively, to ensure that each water inlet pipe is accurately connected. The diameter of the first through hole 14 is adapted to the first water inlet component 7, and the diameter of the second through hole 15 is larger than that of the second water inlet component 8. They are used to connect the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4 to access the hot and cold water source.

[0051] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 An exploded view of the mixing component 6 in the embodiment is shown; Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the mixing element 6 in the embodiment is shown. (See figure) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mixing component 6 is arranged in the housing 5 along the X-axis direction and is provided with a first water inlet 18, a second water inlet 19, a mixed water outlet 20, and a first operating end 23. The first water inlet 18 extends along the X-axis direction and is inserted into the first water inlet component 7. The second water outlet 27 and the mixed water outlet 20 both extend along the X-axis direction. The second water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the second water inlet component 8 along the X-axis direction through the first flexible hose 9. The second water inlet 19 is provided with a one-way valve 21 and a removable filter screen 22 in sequence to prevent backflow and impurities from entering the valve core. The mixed water outlet 20 is suitable for outputting mixed water. The first operating end 23 passes through the cover 13 along the Y-axis direction for the user to adjust the water temperature. In this embodiment, the mixing element 6 is a temperature control valve. The first inlet 18 is a cold water inlet, and the second inlet 19 is a hot water inlet. A one-way valve 21 is also installed at the second inlet 19 to prevent cross-flow of hot and cold water and ensure that hot water can only flow into the mixing element 6 in one direction. At the outlet of the one-way valve 21, a detachable filter screen 22 is connected by a snap-fit, which can effectively filter impurities in the hot water and ensure the quality of the shower water.

[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the first water inlet 7 has a third water inlet end 24 and a first water outlet end 25, which are coaxially arranged opposite each other. The first water inlet 7 is cylindrical. The third water inlet end 24 is adapted to the diameter of the first through hole 14 and can pass tightly through the first through hole 14. The third water inlet end 24 is provided with external threads and is connected to the pre-embedded first water inlet pipe 3 by threaded connection. The first water outlet end 25 is coaxially arranged with the third water inlet end 24 and is provided with external threads at its end, which is screwed to the internal threads of the first water inlet end 18 to ensure the sealing and stability of the cold water passage.

[0053] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the second water inlet 8 in the embodiment is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the second water inlet component 8 has a fourth water inlet end 26 and a second water outlet end 27. The second water outlet end 27 and the fourth water inlet end 26 are not coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, the second water outlet end 27 is perpendicular to the fourth water inlet end 26. The second water inlet component 8 is L-shaped. Specifically, the diameter of the second through hole 15 is larger than that of the fourth water inlet end 26. The fourth water inlet end 26 passes through the second through hole 15. The position of the second water outlet end 27 can be adjusted by rotating the fourth water inlet end 26 to accommodate the pre-embedded deviation during installation. The second water outlet end 27 is used to connect to the first flexible hose 9. Symmetrically arranged threaded holes 30 on the outer periphery of the second water outlet end 27 are used for the connection structure of the first flexible hose 9.

[0054] See Figures 7 to 10 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the pre-connection of the second water inlet 8 and the first hose 9 in the embodiment is shown; Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing the connection between the second water inlet 8 and the first hose 9 in the embodiment is shown; Figure 9 for Figure 7 Sectional view along axis AA; Figure 10 for Figure 7 A BB-directed sectional view. For example... Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the first flexible hose 9 has good flexibility and bending resistance. It is arranged in the housing 5 along the X-axis direction, and one end is the first connecting end 28. The first connecting end 28 is quickly connected to the second water outlet end 27 through a connecting structure. The connecting structure consists of a connecting hole 29, a threaded hole 30, a connecting groove 31, and a screw connector 32. The connecting hole 29 is located at the end of the second water outlet end 27 for the first connecting end 28 to be inserted. The threaded hole 30 is located on the outer periphery of the second water outlet end 27. The connecting groove 31 is an annular groove opened on the outer periphery of the first connecting end 28. The screw connector 32 is a screw. The screw can be inserted into the threaded hole 30 and the end extends into the connecting groove 31, thereby axially locking the first connecting end 28 and the second water outlet end 27 to prevent the first flexible hose 9 from separating from the second water outlet end 27 under water pressure or during long-term use.

[0055] See Figure 11 , Figure 11An exploded view of the water distribution valve 10 in the embodiment is shown. Figure 11 As shown, the water distribution valve 10 includes a valve housing 33, several water distribution valve cores 10, and several water distribution operation terminals 35. The water distribution valves 10 are connected to the mixing outlet 20 along the X-axis via a second flexible hose 11. The valve housing 33 houses the valve cores to control each outlet. The water distribution operation terminals 35 protrude from the top of the cover 13 along the Z-axis. In this embodiment, a three-position water distribution valve core 10 is installed inside the valve housing 33, providing three water outlet devices: overhead spray, handheld shower, and bottom water outlet. The water path can be switched by operating the water distribution operation terminals 35.

[0056] See Figure 12 , Figure 12 A schematic diagram illustrating the installation and correction of internal functional components in an embodiment is shown. Figure 2 and 12 As shown, during installation, firstly, the third inlet end 24 of the first water inlet component 7 is passed through the first through hole 14 on the largest surface of the body 12 along the Y-axis direction. A wrench is used to tighten it to the first water inlet pipe 3 of the wall 2 via threaded connection, serving as the installation reference. Then, the fourth inlet end 26 of the second water inlet component 8 is passed through the second through hole 15 along the Y-axis direction and threaded to the second water inlet pipe 4. Since the second through hole 15 is larger than the fourth inlet end 26, the fourth inlet end 26 can rotate back and forth and left and right within the hole. If there is a deviation in the second water inlet pipe 4, the user can rotate the fourth inlet end 26 to rotate the second outlet end 27 to a suitable position for the first flexible hose 9. The first connecting end 28 of the first flexible hose 9 is inserted into the connecting hole of the second outlet end 27. 29. The screw connector 32 is screwed into the threaded hole 30 on the outer periphery of the second water outlet 27, so that the end of the screw connector 32 is engaged in the connecting groove 31 of the first connecting end 28 to solve the problem of deviation of the reserved interface; then the mixing component 6 is placed into the housing 5, so that the first water inlet 18 and the first water outlet 25 of the first water inlet 7 are aligned along the Y-axis and tightened, and then the second water inlet 19 and the water outlet of the second water inlet 8 are aligned along the X-axis and tightened. Then the second hose 11 is used to connect the water inlet of the water distribution valve 10 to the mixing outlet 20 of the mixing component 6 to form a complete water circuit; finally, the cover 13 is fastened to the body 12, so that all functional components are stored in the flat housing space, and the overall installation of the shower 1 is completed.

[0057] In this embodiment, the shell 5 serves as the basic load-bearing structure. On the side of the shell 5 that is in contact with the wall 2, corresponding to the positions of the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe 4, a first through hole 14 and a second through hole 15 are respectively provided. This allows the first and second water inlet components 8 to pass through the first through hole 14 and the second through hole 15 along the Y-axis direction from the position close to the wall 2 and connect to the first water inlet pipe 3 and the second water inlet pipe. The mixing component 6 is arranged in the shell 5 and has a first water inlet end 18, a second water inlet end 19, and a mixing outlet end 20. The second water inlet end 19 and the mixing outlet end 20 extend along the X-axis direction parallel to the wall surface. The third water inlet end 24 of the first water inlet component 7 passes through the first through hole 14 and connects to the first water outlet end 25 of the first water inlet pipe 3. The first outlet end 25 and the third water inlet end 24 are positioned opposite each other and connected to the first water inlet end 18 of the mixing component 6, so that the first water inlet component 7 is connected to the first water inlet pipe 3 and the first water inlet end 18. The connection between them forms a straight line, which not only shortens the distance between the shell 5 and the wall 2, but also provides a positioning reference for the installation of the shower 1. The second water outlet 27 and the fourth water inlet 26 of the second water inlet 8 are arranged in a cross axis and are connected to the second water inlet 19 of the mixing component 6 in conjunction with the first hose 9 extending along the X-axis. Compared with the prior art, this structure does not require the water inlet to extend away from the wall 2 to accommodate the deviation of the pre-embedded interface position. Instead, it effectively reduces the distance between the shell 5 and the wall 2 along the Y-axis through the structure of the water inlet itself. At the same time, the mixing component 6 is arranged in the shell 5 along the X-axis, and the first hose 9 extends along the X-axis in the same direction as the layout of the mixing component 6, which further reduces the space occupied in the thickness direction of the shell 5, so that the shell 5 of the entire shower 1 can be as close to the wall 2 as possible, improving the space utilization rate.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second water outlet 27 and the fourth water inlet 26 of the second water inlet 8 are designed vertically. When the fourth water inlet 26 passes through the second through hole 15 of the housing 5 and connects to the second water inlet pipe 4 embedded in the wall 2, the rotation of the fourth water inlet 26 causes the second water outlet 27 to appear in different positions for the first hose 9 to connect. This avoids increasing the thickness of the shower 1 in the direction perpendicular to the wall 2, and structurally compresses the gap between the shower 1 and the wall 2. At the same time, by utilizing the characteristics of the first hose 9 and its layout in the housing 5, the second water outlet 27 can be smoothly connected to the second water inlet 19 of the mixing component 6 through the first hose 9 to form a continuous and compact water path. Compared with the prior art, this technical solution avoids adding extra components and shortens the distance between the shower 1 and the wall 2 in the direction perpendicular to the wall 2 by cooperating with other components through its own structure, reducing space occupation and laying an important foundation for realizing the shower 1 against the wall.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first inlet end 18 of the mixing component 6 extends along the Y-axis to connect to the first inlet component 7, forming a stable connection with the rigid connection of the first inlet component 7 and directly receiving its water flow. This ensures the stability of the rigid positioning and avoids unnecessary space occupation in the direction perpendicular to the wall 2, providing a connection fulcrum for the overall fixation of the mixing component 6. The second inlet end 19 and the mixing outlet end 20 extend along the X-axis, which is compatible with the layout of each component in the housing 5 along the X-axis. The second inlet end 19 extends along the X-axis and can directly connect to the first flexible hose 9. Combined with the vertical design and adjustable characteristics of the second inlet component 8, the water flow from the second inlet pipe 4 smoothly enters the mixing component 6 along the X-axis after turning, reducing the need for additional structures and minimizing space redundancy. The layout of each inlet and outlet end of the mixing component 6 compresses the space occupied by the housing 5 in the direction perpendicular to the wall, allowing each component to form a compact layout within the housing 5, providing support for the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the one-way valve 21 at the second water inlet 19 only allows water to flow unidirectionally from the second water inlet pipe 4 to the mixing element 6, which can effectively block the cross-flow or reverse backflow of mixed water that may occur during the mixing process, avoid pipeline abnormalities or pollution caused by backflow, and improve the safety and stability of the shower process; the detachable filter screen 22 at the outlet of the one-way valve 21 can intercept impurities in the water and prevent them from entering the mixing element 6, reduce the risk of wear or blockage of core components, extend the service life of the shower 1, and users do not need to disassemble the entire shower 1 during maintenance and cleaning, shortening the operation time and greatly simplifying the maintenance process.

[0061] In this embodiment, the shell 5 has a cuboid structure. The largest surface of the body 12 closest to the wall 2 is attached to the wall 2 along the Y-axis, while the smallest surface along the Z-axis is compressed in thickness, thus limiting the thickness of the shell 5 in terms of shape. The body 12 and the detachable cover 13 form an accommodating space. The internal mixing component 6, water inlet component, hose, etc. are arranged along the X-axis to avoid stacking in the Z-axis direction, ensuring a compact space without forcing the shell 5 to thicken. The precise fit between the cover 13 and the body 12 ensures sealing and structural strength, while also taking into account ease of assembly and maintenance. Together with the internal layout, it provides a structural foundation for ultra-thin wall-mounted fitting.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first through hole 14 is adapted to the third water inlet end 24, providing precise positioning for the first water inlet component 7 to connect to the first water inlet pipe 3, and becoming the reference for the installation of the shower 1; the second through hole 15 is larger than the fourth water inlet end 26, so that the second water inlet component 8 can be flexibly adjusted when it passes through the through hole to connect to the second water inlet pipe 4, effectively adapting to the positional deviation of the pre-buried water pipe.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water distribution valve 10 and the second hose 11 are arranged along the X-axis inside the housing 5 and connected to the mixing outlet 20, which further avoids the space occupation of the housing 5 along the Z-axis direction, ensuring smooth water distribution without increasing the thickness of the shower 1, and further consolidating the ultra-thin wall-mounted effect.

[0064] In this embodiment, the layout design of the first operating end 23 of the mixing component 6 and the water distribution operating end 35 of the water distribution valve 10 ensures convenient operation while further consolidating the overall form of the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower 1. The first operating end 23 of the mixing component 6 extends out of the cover 13 along the Y-axis direction, which conforms to the user's usage habits for basic operations such as water temperature adjustment, making it easy to operate intuitively during showering without interfering with the overall structure of the housing 5. Several water distribution operating ends 35 of the water distribution valve 10 protrude from the top of the housing 5 along the Z-axis direction. The Z-axis is the height direction of the housing 5. The protrusion at the top will not increase the thickness of the side of the housing 5 close to the wall 2, nor will it damage the tight fit between the housing 5 and the wall 2. Compared with the prior art, this technical solution not only meets the user's operational needs for mixing and water distribution switching, but also does not destroy the core feature of the ultra-thin wall-mounted shower 1. At the same time, it forms a functional and structural unity with the various components inside the housing 5, realizing the ultra-thin wall-mounted effect of the shower 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the first hose 9 and the second water outlet 27 not only ensures the reliability of the connection but also further strengthens the foundation for the ultra-thin wall-mounted design of the shower 1. This structure, through the connection hole 29 into which the first connection end 28 extends and the screw connector 32 passes through the threaded hole 30 and is embedded in the connection groove 31, forms a stable mechanical lock. This effectively prevents the first hose 9 and the second water outlet 27 from separating under water pressure or during long-term use, ensuring the sealing and durability of the water circuit connection. Furthermore, the assembly method of this connection structure is simple and reliable, requiring no complex adjustment components. This reduces the risk of increased gaps due to additional accessories and ensures the accuracy of the entire water circuit system layout through a stable connection. This allows the rigid positioning of the first water inlet 7 and the position adjustment of the second water inlet 8 to work synergistically, providing more comprehensive structural support for the ultra-thin wall-mounted design of the shower 1.
