Detailed embodiments

[0015] The preferred embodiments are described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the embodiments. The components described and illustrated in the attached drawings can be arranged and designed in various configurations.

[0016] As from Fig. 1 to Fig. 6, the wall mount 100 according to the invention consists of a holder 10, a joint head 20 and a magnet assembly 30.

[0017] The holder 10 is formed with a fixing surface 11 on one side and connects to one side of the joint head 20 with the other side. The fixing surface 11 can be glued to a wall surface for fixation. For practical use, the holder 10 is provided with double-sided adhesive, glue, or a suction cup to allow the holder 10 to be quickly and easily attached to a suitable wall surface.

[0018] The magnet assembly 30 is mounted on the other side of the joint head 20 to magnetically tighten the hand shower 200. This secures the hand shower 200 to the wall bracket 100, allowing for convenient removal or attachment.

[0019] The other side of the holder 10 is formed with a joint hole 12, while a ball head 21 is attached to one side of the joint head 20, which is rotatably embedded in the joint hole 12. The other side of the joint head 20 is formed with a mounting hole 22, in which the magnetic assembly 30 is installed. Via the ball head 21, the joint head 20 can rotate freely in all directions around the joint hole 12, thus freely driving the hand shower 200, attracted by the magnetic assembly 30 attached to the other side of the joint head 20, for rotation in all directions. This allows free adjustment of the water outlet direction, thus significantly improving the user experience. The hand shower 200 is provided with a magnetic structure that interacts with the magnetic assembly 30.

[0020] The magnet assembly 30 comprises a fitting ring 31 and a magnetic element 32, wherein the fitting ring 31 is embedded in the mounting opening 22, while the center of the fitting ring 31 is formed with a through hole 311 for mounting the inserted magnetic element 32. This facilitates the assembly and fixation of the magnetic element 32.

[0021] The magnetic element 32 and the magnetic structure may be entirely made of magnets. Alternatively, one of them may be made of a strong magnetic material and the other of a magnetic adsorption material such as stainless steel. A protective sleeve 33 is inserted between the outer periphery of the magnetic element 32 and the mounting through-hole 311. The inner side of the protective sleeve 33 adjacent to the inside of the mounting hole 22 remains open and the outer side of the protective sleeve 33 remains closed. The protective sleeve 33 is formed with a protruding connecting collar 331 at the opening edge that can be snapped onto the inner edge of the mounting through-hole 311. The protective sleeve 33 can be embedded in the protective sleeve 33 through the opening, while the inner side of the mounting hole 22 is provided with a pillar 221 for pressing the magnetic element 32. The protective sleeve 33 can serve as a fall protection device and for protecting the appearance, and has waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance.

[0022] It is further provided that the fitting ring 31 is provided with a sleeve 312 protruding from the mounting opening 22, in the center of which sleeve the mounting through-hole 311 is formed and the outer circumference of which is formed with at least two spaced-apart connecting parts 313, wherein each connecting part 313 is provided with a connecting hole 314 and correspondingly a locking hole 222 is formed in the mounting opening 22, wherein the connecting hole 314 can be connected to the locking hole 222 via an inserted locking screw 315 for locking purposes. In the present embodiment, three connecting parts 313 and three locking screws 315 are provided, all of which can be connected to the locking holes 222 by means of the bolts 223 inserted in the mounting opening 22, in order to enable mutual fastening of the fitting ring 31 to the mounting opening 22.

[0023] The hand shower 200 is provided with an annular groove 40 for receiving the attached sleeve 312, wherein the center of the annular groove 40 is formed with a magnetic structure 50 that interacts with the magnetic element 32. This allows the magnetic structure 50 to be attached to the magnetic element 32 when the annular groove 40 of the hand shower 200 is inserted into the sleeve 312.

[0024] It is important to prevent the hand shower 200 from being accidentally separated from the wall mount 100, as the magnetic attraction remains susceptible to detachment due to external forces. The outer end of the sleeve 312 is formed with a radially projecting limiting ring 316, and the hand shower 200 is provided with a coupler 60 in which an annular groove 40 is formed and a movable clamping part 70 is also attached. The clamping part 70 can move in the radial direction of the annular groove 40 and is also provided with a groove 71 continuously connected to the annular groove 40, the side wall of which is formed with a stop collar 711.The sleeve 312 can dynamically mate with the annular groove 40 to allow the magnetic element 32 to engage the magnetic structure 50, and the clamping portion 70 to move inward in the radial direction of the annular groove 40, so that the stop collar 711 provides a positional limit to the limit ring 316 along the axial direction of the annular groove 40. The clamping portion 70 can lock the limit ring 316 to prevent accidental separation.

[0025] It is further provided that a first inclined surface 712 is formed in the groove 71, adjacent to the center of the annular groove 40. One end of the sleeve 312 will press against the first inclined surface 712 as long as the magnetic element 32 interacts with the magnetic structure 50. The outer and inner sides of the stop collar are each formed with a second inclined surface 713 and a third inclined surface 714.

[0026] When the magnetic structure 50 interacts with the magnetic element 32, the sleeve 312 presses through the groove 71 against the first inclined surface 712, so that the clamping part 70 moves in the radial direction of the annular groove 40 due to the drive from the end of the sleeve 312. The first inclined surface 712 effectively drives the sleeve 312 onto the clamping part 70, so that the attractive forces of the magnetic element 32 and the magnetic structure 50 are converted into radial forces for driving the clamping part 70 with the help of the first inclined surface 712.

[0027] The outer and inner sides of the stop collar 711 are each formed with a second inclined surface 713 and a third inclined surface 714, the functionalities of which are similar to those of the first inclined surface 712, i.e. for converting an external force to drive the clamping part 70. When the end of the sleeve 312 presses against the second inclined surface 713, the clamping part 70 is pushed outwards in the radial direction of the annular groove 40 so that the limiting ring 316 moves over the stop collar 711 and the sleeve 312 engages in the groove 71.If the hand shower 200 is to be removed, the hand shower 200 must be moved in the axial direction of the sleeve 312 so that the limiting ring 316 initially presses against the third inclined surface 714 and the clamping part 70 is therefore pushed outwards in the radial direction of the annular groove 40, so that the limiting ring 316 moves over the stop collar 711 and the sleeve 312 is separated from the groove 71.

[0028] A wear ring 34 is mounted on the outside of the sleeve 212, the outside of which acts as a wear surface 341 and the inside of which is formed with at least two spaced-apart locking lugs 342 in the circumferential direction. Between the adjacent connecting parts 313 of the sleeve 312, a locking groove 317 is arranged for receiving a locking lug 342, wherein the wear ring 34 mounted on the sleeve 312 simultaneously closes the mounting opening 22. The wear ring 34 can be made of a material such as paraformaldehyde, i.e., with good physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, in particular with excellent friction resistance, thereby extending the service life, reducing the friction loss between the hand shower 200 and the wall bracket 100, and reducing the sharp noise upon contact and friction.

[0029] The holder 10 comprises a base 13, a cap 14, a first damping ring 15, and a second damping ring 16. The base 13 is formed with a fixing surface 11 on one side and is attached to a raised rotary base 131 on the other side. The cap 14 is mounted on the base 13 at one end of the rotary base 131. These two can be joined together by ultrasonic welding. The flap 14 is further formed with a through hole 141, between which the hinge hole 12 is formed and the rotary base 131. The first damping ring 15 and the second damping ring 16 are mounted on both sides of the ball head 21, i.e., the first damping ring 15 between the through hole 314 and the ball head 21, and the second damping ring 16 between the ball head 21 and the rotating base 131. The first damping ring 15 and the second damping ring 16 allow the ball head 21 to rotate smoothly, providing a better rotating feel.The first damping ring 15 and the second damping ring 16 can all be made of rubber.

[0030] The first damping ring 15 is designed as an open ring. The second damping ring 16 is snapped onto the end face of the rotating base 131 on one side and has an arcuate groove 161 on the other side, which mates with the rotating ball head 21.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described above. It should be noted that the utility model is not limited to the embodiments, but can be varied in many ways within the scope of the disclosure. In this context, all new individual and combined features disclosed in the description and / or drawings are considered essential to the invention.
