Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a shower rod, including a fixed rod 100, a movable rod 200, and a locking mechanism 400.

[0022] One end of the movable rod 200 is fitted onto the fixed rod 100, and the other end of the movable rod 200 forms the mounting end 210 for mounting the overhead shower 300. The movable rod 200 can move relative to the fixed rod 100 along the height direction of the shower rod to adjust the height of the shower rod.

[0023] The locking mechanism 400 is provided on one of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200, and the other of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200 is provided with a locking structure 500. The locking mechanism 400 is used to lock and cooperate with the locking structure 500 when the movable rod 200 moves to a preset height position, so as to restrict the movement of the movable rod 200.

[0024] In practice, the fixed rod 100 can be positioned below the movable rod 200 and can be fixed to the bathroom wall using fasteners such as expansion bolts or clips. The fixed rod 100 has an inner cavity with an opening facing the movable rod 200. The bottom end of the movable rod 200 extends into the inner cavity and can move relative to the fixed rod 100 along the axial direction of the fixed rod 100. The axial direction of the fixed rod 100 can be considered as the height direction of the shower rod. (See specific details...) Figure 1 As shown in the z-direction, the length of the movable rod 200 extending into the inner cavity can be adjusted to ultimately change the height of the entire shower rod, making the overall height of the shower rod adjustable. Consequently, the height of the top spray 300 located at the top of the movable rod 200 can be adjusted to suit the showering needs of users of different heights.

[0025] In addition, the inner cavity of the movable rod 200 can form a flow channel that communicates with the external water supply structure. This flow channel is connected to the top spray 300, so that the water from the external water supply structure flows through the flow channel to the top spray 300 and is finally sprayed out by the top spray 300 to realize the shower water output operation.

[0026] Furthermore, a seal 201 can be provided between the movable rod 200 and the fixed rod 100 to prevent water from leaking out from the gap between them. For example, the seal 201 can be provided on the outer wall of the top end of the fixed rod 100 and form a sealing fit with the movable rod 200. For example, the seal 201 can be a sealing ring, and there can be one, two, or more seals arranged along the axial direction of the fixed rod 100.

[0027] Furthermore, once the movable rod 200 has moved to the desired height position relative to the fixed rod 100, a locking mechanism 400 provided on one of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200 can engage with a locking structure 500 provided on the other of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200 to reliably fix the movable rod 200 at that height position. This ensures that the height position of the shower rod remains temporarily fixed, thereby allowing the overhead shower 300 to be reliably positioned at the adjusted height for user use.

[0028] For example, the locking mechanism 400 can be mounted on the movable rod 200 and move with the movement of the movable rod 200, while the locking structure 500 can be mounted on the fixed rod 100. Alternatively, the locking mechanism 400 can be mounted on the fixed rod 100 and remain stationary, while the locking structure 500 can be mounted on the movable rod 200 and move with the movement of the movable rod 200.

[0029] The shower rod in this embodiment includes a fixed rod 100, a movable rod 200, and a locking mechanism 400. One end of the movable rod 200 is sleeved on the fixed rod 100, and the other end of the movable rod 200 forms a mounting end 210 for mounting the top spray 300. The movable rod 200 can move relative to the fixed rod 100 along the height direction of the shower rod to adjust the height of the shower rod, thereby allowing the user to adjust the top spray 300 to the desired height according to their height, thus meeting the user's usage needs. At the same time, the locking mechanism 400 is provided on one of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200, and the other of the fixed rod 100 and the movable rod 200 is provided with a locking structure 500. The locking mechanism 400 is used to lock the movable rod 200 when it moves to a preset height position, thereby restricting the movement of the movable rod 200 and ensuring that the movable rod 200 is reliably at the preset height position. This allows the top spray 300 to be reliably at the adjusted height position for user use, improving the user experience. Reference Figures 3 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking structure 500 is disposed on the fixing rod 100, and the locking structure 500 includes a plurality of slots 510 spaced apart along the axial direction of the fixing rod 100.

[0030] The locking mechanism 400 includes a handle housing 410 respectively sleeved on the movable rod 200 and the fixed rod 100, a pressing member 420 and a locking member 430 disposed on the handle housing 410; the locking member 430 is rotatably disposed on the handle housing 410 and is used to engage with at least one slot 510; the pressing member 420 is located on the side of the locking member 430 away from the slot 510 and can push the locking member 430 to rotate in a first direction under external force, so that the locking member 430 moves out of the slot 510.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking structure 500 can specifically be a plurality of slots 510 spaced apart along the axial direction of the fixed rod 100. In this embodiment, the slots 510 are set on the fixed rod 100 and kept stationary, and the locking mechanism 400 is set on the movable rod 200 and moves with the movable rod 200, so that the locking mechanism 400 can engage with the corresponding slot 510 when the movable rod 200 moves to a preset height position, so as to fix the movable rod 200 at the preset height position.

[0032] Specifically, the locking structure 500 includes a handle housing 410, with part of the handle housing 410 sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 200 and part located on the outer wall of the fixed rod 100. This arrangement ensures that the locking member 430 installed in the handle housing 410 can engage with the corresponding slot 510 on the fixed rod 100 after moving to the preset position.

[0033] Specifically, the handle housing 410 is provided with a pressing member 420, and the pressing member 420 and the locking member 430 are detachably coupled. For example, when the locking member 430 is in such a position... Figure 9 When the device is in the locked state, engaged with the slot 510, the pressing member 420 and the locking member 430 are not in contact, i.e., they are separated. When unlocking is required, pressing the pressing member 420 causes it to move towards and maintain contact with the locking member 430, thus pushing the locking member 430, which rotates in conjunction with the handle housing 410, to rotate in the first direction. In other words, the locking member 430 acts as a lever structure; one end is pressed down, and the other end is raised, causing the end of the locking member 430 engaged with the slot 510 to move out of the slot 510, achieving the unlocking operation. For details of the unlocking state, refer to [reference needed]. Figure 12 As shown.

[0034] For example, the first direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism 400 further includes a reset member 440, which is disposed between the locking member 430 and the pressing member 420, so that the locking member 430 can be rotated and reset in a second direction opposite to the first direction under the elastic action of the reset member 440, so as to engage with the corresponding slot 510.

[0036] In other words, when the pressing member 420 is pushed against the locking member 430 by external force and rotates in the first direction and is released from locking with the slot 510, it is in the state of... Figure 12 After the unlocked state is shown, the reset member 440 is compressed under the pressing action of the pressing member 420. When the external force is released, the locking member 430 can rotate and reset in a second direction opposite to the first direction under the elastic action of the reset member 440, and then re-engage with the corresponding slot 510 to achieve automatic locking and reset, i.e., return to the state shown. Figure 9 The locked state is shown.

[0037] For example, the reset element 440 may be a spring or other component with elastic restoring properties.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the handle housing 410 is provided with a receiving cavity 411, the pressing member 420 and the locking member 430 are both provided in the receiving cavity 411, and the bottom of the receiving cavity 411 is provided with an avoidance opening 412, and part of the locking member 430 is engaged with the slot 510 through the avoidance opening 412.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the handle housing 410 is provided with a receiving cavity 411 for accommodating the pressing member 420 and the locking member 430. The opening of the receiving cavity 411 can be set in a direction away from the outer wall of the fixing rod 100 so that the locking member 430 and the like can be placed in the receiving cavity 411. At the same time, in order to ensure that the locking member 430 located in the receiving cavity 411 can be engaged with the slot 510 on the fixing rod 100 in the handle housing 410, the bottom of the receiving cavity 411 needs to be provided with an avoidance opening 412. At this time, part of the locking member 430 passes through the avoidance opening 412 and engages with the slot 510 to reliably fix the movable rod 200 at a preset height position.

[0040] For example, the inner cavity shape of the accommodating cavity 411 can be racetrack-shaped, or it can be circular or square.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing cover 450 is also provided in the accommodating cavity 411. The fixing cover 450 is located between the locking member 430 and the pressing member 420, and the fixing cover 450 is provided with a clearance notch 451 through which a portion of the pressing member 420 passes to engage with the locking member 430. The reset member 440 is provided on the fixing cover 450.

[0042] In a specific implementation, a fixing cover 450 can be provided inside the accommodating cavity 411. The fixing cover 450 is connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 411, and the reset member 440 is placed on the fixing cover 450. This can ensure the reliability of the installation position of the reset member 440 inside the accommodating cavity 411.

[0043] Meanwhile, since the fixed cover 450 is located between the locking member 430 and the pressing member 420, in order to ensure that the pressing member 420 can reliably abut against the locking member 430 when it moves under the action of external force to achieve unlocking, an avoidance notch 451 can be provided on the fixed cover 450 so that part of the pressing member 420 can pass through the avoidance notch 451 and achieve a separable engagement with the locking member 430.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a first guide post 452 is provided at one end of the fixed cover 450 facing the locking member 430, and one end of the reset member 440 is sleeved on the first guide post 452. This can achieve reliable assembly of the reset member 440 on the fixed cover 450, and can guide the extension and retraction of the reset member 440, preventing the reset member 440 from being misaligned and affecting the reliable reset of the locking member 430.

[0045] Furthermore, after one end of the reset piece 440 is sleeved on the first guide post 452, it can be fixed to the first guide post 452 or the fixing cover 450 by adhesive or welding.

[0046] For example, the first guide post 452 can be integrally formed with the fixing cover 450 to save manufacturing processes and improve the structural strength of the fixing cover 450, or they can be formed separately and then snapped or screwed together.

[0047] For example, there are at least two reset members 440, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the fixing rod 100, so as to provide power support for the reset of the locking member 430 through the joint of the at least two reset members 440, and at the same time make the reset of the locking member 430 more stable.

[0048] Alternatively, when there are at least two locking members 430, at least two reset members 440 can correspond one-to-one with at least two locking members 430, so that the corresponding locking member 430 can be rotated and reset under the elastic action of the corresponding reset member 440.

[0049] Furthermore, when there are two locking elements 430, they can be arranged symmetrically. In this way, one pressing element 420 can simultaneously drive both locking elements 430 to unlock, which simplifies the structure. Moreover, by having one pressing element 420 simultaneously press against or release both locking elements 430, the reliability of locking can be doubled.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking member 430 has a second guide post 431 at one end facing the fixing cover 450, and the other end of the reset member 440 is sleeved on the second guide post 431.

[0051] In this embodiment, a second guide post 431 is provided at one end of the locking member 430 facing the fixed cover 450, and the other end of the reset member 440 is sleeved on the second guide post 431. This can improve the positional reliability of the reset member 440 in the accommodating cavity 411, and guide the extension and retraction of the reset member 440. As a result, the reset member 440 extends and retracts under the dual guidance of the first guide post 452 and the second guide post 431, so as to further prevent the reset member 440 from tilting during extension and retraction.

[0052] For example, the second guide post 431 can be integrally formed with the locking member 430 to save manufacturing processes and improve the structural strength of the locking member 430, or they can be formed separately and then snapped or screwed together.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 is provided with a first connecting hole 413, and the fixing cover 450 is provided with a second connecting hole 453. The fixing cover 450 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 411 by a first fastener 610 passing through the first connecting hole 413 and the second connecting hole 453, so as to achieve reliable assembly of the fixing cover 450 in the accommodating cavity 411.

[0054] For example, one of the first connecting hole 413 and the second connecting hole 453 can be a threaded hole, and the other of the first connecting hole 413 and the second connecting hole 453 can be a smooth hole. The first fastener 610 can be a bolt or a screw, which are respectively inserted into the smooth hole and the threaded hole to achieve a reliable connection between the fixed cover 450 and the accommodating cavity 411.

[0055] Alternatively, the first connecting hole 413 and the second connecting hole 453 can both be open holes, and the first fastener 610 can be a fastening pin.

[0056] For example, there may be at least two first connecting holes 413 and at least two second connecting holes 453, thereby improving the assembly stability of the fixed cover 450 in the accommodating cavity 411 through the cooperation of at least two first connecting holes 413, second connecting holes 453 and first fastener 610.

[0057] For example, the first connecting hole 413, the second connecting hole 453, and the first fastener 610 can all be as follows: Figure 4 The six shown could also be three, four, etc.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pressing member 420 is disposed at the opening of the accommodating cavity 411 and can be adapted to the contour of the opening of the accommodating cavity 411. This makes it convenient for the user to press and can effectively seal the accommodating cavity 411, thereby providing dustproof or collision-proof protection for the components inside the accommodating cavity 411.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a rotating engagement hole 700 is formed between the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 and the fixing cover 450. The locking member 430 includes a locking body 432 and a rotating shaft 433 disposed on the locking body 432. The rotating shaft 433 is disposed in the rotating engagement hole 700. The locking body 432 is used to rotate in a first direction under the pushing of the pressing member 420 to disengage from the slot 510.

[0060] In a specific implementation, a rotating fitting hole 700 is formed between the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 and the fixed cover 450, and the rotating shaft 433 of the locking member 430 is inserted into the rotating fitting hole 700. This allows the pressing member 420 to press the locking body 432 of the locking member 430, thereby pushing the locking body 432 to rotate around the rotating shaft 433 in the first direction, thus achieving the unlocking operation.

[0061] Specifically, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 is provided with a first curved groove 414, and the side of the fixing cover 450 facing the locking member 430 is provided with a second curved groove 454. The first curved groove 414 and the second curved groove 454 surround each other to form a rotation fitting hole 700 that matches the outer contour of the rotating shaft 433. That is, the fixing cover 450 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 each form two semi-circular grooves. After the fixing cover 450 is assembled on the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411, the two semi-circular grooves can surround each other to form a circular rotation fitting hole 700 for the rotating shaft 433 to pass through. Moreover, this design can effectively utilize the positional space on the fixing cover 450 and the positional space on the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 to achieve a compact design, thereby achieving a miniaturized design of the entire shower rod in the radial direction.

[0062] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking body 432 includes a first body portion 434 and a second body portion 435, which are respectively disposed on opposite radial sides of the rotating shaft 433; the side of the first body portion 434 facing the slot 510 is formed with a snap-fit ​​end 436 for snapping with the slot 510, and the second body portion 435 is bent relative to the first body portion 434 in a direction away from the slot 510, and a pressing end 437 is formed on the second body portion 435 for pushing and engaging with the pressing member 420.

[0063] When unlocking is required, the pressing member 420 moves towards the pressing end 437 under external force and engages with the pressing end 437. Pushing the pressing end 437 causes the locking body 432 to rotate in the first direction, causing the locking end 436 to move out of the slot 510, thus unlocking the device. In other words, the first body part 434 and the second body part 435 essentially form a lever structure. Simultaneously, the second body part 435 is bent relative to the first body part 434 in a direction away from the slot 510. This allows the pressing end 437 to be closer to the pressing member 420, thereby shortening the travel distance of the pressing member 420 and reducing the external force applied to it, facilitating user operation.

[0064] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing member 420 is provided with a top abutment 421 on the side facing the locking member 430. The top abutment 421 is used to abut against the locking member 430 under the action of external force and push the locking member 430 to rotate in a first direction.

[0065] In other words, when pressing, the top 421 moves toward the pressing end 437 under the action of the pressing member 420 and passes through the clearance notch 451 on the fixed cover 450 before contacting and engaging with the pressing end 437, so that the locking end 436 moves out of the slot 510.

[0066] For example, the top abutment 421 can be a top abutment rod or a top abutment block, and the side of the top abutment 421 that contacts the pressing end 437 can be a flat surface or an arc surface.

[0067] For example, the top 421 and the pressing member 420 can be integrally formed to save manufacturing steps and improve the overall structural strength of the pressing member 420, or they can be formed separately and then bonded together.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, there are at least two locking members 430. The at least two locking members 430 are distributed along the axial direction of the fixed rod 100 and respectively engage with the corresponding slots 510. By engaging the at least two locking members 430 with the corresponding slots 510, the reliability of the movement limit of the movable rod 200 is further improved, so that the movable rod 200 can be more reliably maintained at the preset height position.

[0069] For example, when there are two locking members 430, they can be symmetrically arranged so that they can rotate synchronously under the abutting action of the same abutting top 421, and the two locking members 430 rotate in opposite directions when unlocking from the card slot 510. For example, refer to... Figure 6As shown, the upper locking member 430 can rotate clockwise when unlocking, while the lower locking member 430 can rotate counterclockwise when unlocking.

[0070] Furthermore, when there are two locking members 430, the ends of two adjacent locking members 430 that are close to each other form a snap-fit ​​end 436. The snap-fit ​​end 436 is provided with a relief opening 438 so that the two locking members 430 will not interfere when they rotate under the pressure of the same abutment top 421.

[0071] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a first rotating connection portion 422 is provided on the side of the pressing member 420 facing the handle housing 410, and a second rotating connection portion 415 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 411 to rotate with the first rotating connection portion 422, thereby realizing the rotating engagement between the pressing member 420 and the handle housing 410. Then, after pressing one end of the pressing member 420, the pressing member 420 can move towards the locking member 430 to push the locking member 430 to rotate.

[0072] For example, the first rotating connection part 422 can be provided at the end of the pressing member 420 away from the pressing end 437, so that the other end of the pressing member 420 can move toward the pressing end 437 under the action of external force, while effectively reducing the pressing force and making it easier for the user to operate.

[0073] For example, the first rotating connection portion 422 and the second rotating connection portion 415 can be extended ears with connecting holes, and the rotating shaft passes through the connecting holes to achieve rotational engagement between the two.

[0074] Alternatively, one of the first rotating connection portion 422 and the second rotating connection portion 415 may be an extended ear with a connection hole, and the other may be a rotating hinge.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixed rod friction element 800 is provided between the handle housing 410 and the fixed rod 100, so that when the handle housing 410 moves relative to the fixed rod 100 under the drive of the movable rod 200, the frictional resistance between the two can be reduced, so as to facilitate user operation.

[0076] For example, the fixed rod friction element 800 may be disposed on the handle housing 410 such that it can move as the handle housing 410 moves, thereby reducing the friction between the handle housing 410 and the fixed rod 100 when the movable rod 200 moves.

[0077] Compared to the method where the fixed rod friction element 800 can be set on the fixed rod 100, in order to ensure that the handle housing 410 always cooperates with the fixed rod friction element 800 when moving, and to avoid direct contact with the fixed rod 100 which would increase frictional resistance, the fixed rod friction element 800 needs to be set to a sufficient length along the axial direction of the fixed rod 100. In this case, setting the fixed rod friction element 800 on the handle housing 410 can eliminate the need to make the fixed rod friction element 800 too long, which can effectively save costs.

[0078] In addition, in order to ensure that direct contact between the handle housing 410 and the fixed rod 100 is avoided along the entire circumference, the fixed rod friction member 800 can be provided as an annular structure extending along the circumference of the fixed rod 100.

[0079] For example, the fixed rod friction component 800 can be made of polymer or metal-based composite material with low coefficient of friction, high heat resistance and certain strength, and its friction mating surface can be provided with a lubricating film to reduce friction.

[0080] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a movable sleeve 220 is provided between the movable rod 200 and the handle housing 410, and the movable sleeve 220 and the handle housing 410 are connected by a second fastener 620 to ultimately achieve a reliable connection between the handle housing 410 and the movable rod 200.

[0081] Specifically, the movable sleeve 220 and the movable rod 200 can be welded or interference-fitted together and fixed together. Then, the handle housing 410 and the movable sleeve 220 are connected by a second fastener 620, thus achieving reliable fixation between the handle housing 410 and the movable rod 200.

[0082] For example, a pin 230 is provided on the movable sleeve 220. The pin 230 can be welded or snapped onto the movable sleeve 220. Both the pin and the handle housing 410 are provided with mounting holes 231. The second fastener 620 passes through the mounting holes to achieve a fastening fit between the movable sleeve 220 and the handle housing 410.

[0083] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing rod 100 includes an inner tube 110 and an outer tube 120 sleeved outside the inner tube 110. The locking structure 500 is disposed on the inner tube 110, and the outer tube 120 is provided with an avoidance slot 121 at a position corresponding to the locking structure 500, so that the locking mechanism 400 can lock with the locking structure 500 on the inner tube 110 through the avoidance slot 121.

[0084] In addition, setting the fixing rod 100 as a double-layer tube structure with the inner tube 110 and the outer tube 120 can improve the structural strength of the fixing rod 100 and facilitate the electroplating process of the outer tube 120.

[0085] Reference Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment also provides a shower device, including a top spray 300 and a shower rod, wherein the top spray 300 is disposed at the mounting end 210 of the movable rod 200.

[0086] The specific structure and implementation principle of the shower rod in this embodiment are the same as those of the shower rod 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.

[0087] For example, the overhead shower 300 can be a round shower head or a square shower head. The shower rod is provided with a flow channel that communicates with the external water supply structure. The flow channel, the inner flow channel of the overhead shower 300 and the water outlet of the overhead shower 300 are connected in sequence to form a water flow path for water spraying.

[0088] For example, the mounting end 210 can be a threaded mounting end, that is, the outer wall is provided with a first thread and the inner hole of the top spray 300 is provided with a second thread, so as to realize the threaded connection between the two.
