[0021] This application is described below with reference to the Fig. 1 to 6.

[0022] As in the Fig. 1 to Fig. As shown in Figure 3, a shower includes a fixed base 100, a rotating device 200, and a cylinder 300. The fixed base 100 is provided with a joint 130. An outer peripheral wall of the joint 130 is provided with an external thread. The joint 130 can extend into a wall to connect to a pipe in the wall for piping. One end of the joint 130 extends into the fixed base 100, and the fixed base 100 can be mounted to a wall or ceiling to secure the joint 130. At least a portion of the rotating assembly 200 extends into the fixed base 100. The rotating assembly 200 includes a water conduit 210, a rotatable member 220, and a first connecting member 230. One end of the rotating member 220 is rotatably connected to the joint 130, and the other end of the rotating member 220 is press-fitted to the water channel 210.It can also be understood that the water line 210 is rotatably connected to the joint 130 by the rotating element 220. The rotating element 220 is fixedly connected to the first connecting element 230 via a thread. The first connecting element 230 is hollow, and the water line 210 extends into the first connecting element 230 and is located in an interior space of the first connecting element 230. The cylinder 300 has an overall cylindrical structure. The cylinder 300 is slipped over a part of the rotating assembly 200 far from the joint 130. The cylinder 300 is movably connected to the first connecting element 230 via a bolt 600, and the cylinder 300 can rotate about a central axis of the bolt 600.An end of the cylinder 300 remote from the rotating assembly 200 is provided with a spray device 500, and the spray device 500 is detachably connected to the water line 210 and is in fluid communication with the water line 210, thereby realizing a spray function of the shower.

[0023] Note that the joint 130 protrudes into the fixed base 100, and the joint 130 protrudes into the wall and is connected to the in-wall piping. The rotating member 220 is rotatably connected to the joint 130. An end of the rotating member 220 remote from the joint 130 is fixedly connected to the water channel 210, and a water outlet of the water channel 210 is connected to the sprayer 500. The water from the in-wall piping is sequentially sprayed out through the joint 130, the rotating member 220, the water line 210, and the spray device 500 at the water outlet, thereby realizing the spray function of the shower. Since the water pipe 210 is rotatably connected to the joint 130 via the rotating element 220, the cylinder 300 is movably connected to the first connecting element 230 via the bolt 600, so that the cylinder 300 can rotate about the central axis of the bolt 600.That is, the rotating assembly 200 and the cylinder 300 can rotate as a whole, and the cylinder 300 can also rotate alone around the central axis of the bolt 600. This allows a user to manually operate the rotating assembly 200 and the cylinder 300, or only the cylinder 300, to adjust the shower spray angle when using the shower, resulting in a wide adjustment range of the shower spray angle. The atomizer 500 is detachably connected to the water pipe 210, allowing the atomizer 500 to be easily replaced, which is convenient for the user to operate and improves the user experience.

[0024] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 2 to Fig. 3, one end of the joint 130 near the first connecting element 230 is provided with an internal thread, and the first connecting element 230 is provided with an external thread that mates with the internal thread of the joint 130. The joint 130 and the first connecting element 230 are fastened by a threaded connection. The first connecting element 230 is provided with a step 231, and the first connecting element 230 extends into the fixed base 100. The step 231 can abut against a lower portion of the fixed base 100. An outer peripheral wall of one end of the first connecting element 230 near the joint 130 is provided with a thread. The first connecting element 230 is screwed with a nut, and the lower part of the fixed base 100 is located between the nut and the step 231.Under the action of the nut and the step 231, both ends of the lower part of the fixed base 100 can abut against the step 231 of the first connecting element 230 or the nut. The nut and the step 231 of the first connecting element 230 and the fixed base 100 can restrict the first connecting element 230 to prevent the first connecting element 230 from being separated from the fixed base 100.

[0025] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, one end of the first connecting member 230, which is remote from the rotating member 220, is bent, and a connecting portion 232 is disposed at the bent end of the first connecting member 230. The connecting portion 232 has a protrusion structure, the protrusion structure is provided with a through hole 233, and the bolt 600 can extend through the through hole 233 so that the first connecting member 230 can rotate about the central axis of the bolt 600. Since the cylinder 300 is connected to the first connecting member 230 by the bolt 600, the entire cylinder 300 can be rotated, so that a spray angle of the shower can be adjusted.

[0026] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 2 to Fig. 5, the cylinder 300 is provided with a body 310, the body 310 is provided with a cavity 311, and a part of the rotating assembly 200 is arranged in the cavity 311 of the body 310. An upper cover 320 is arranged above the body 310, the upper cover 320 has a circular structure, and the upper cover 320 is fixed to an upper end surface of the cylinder 300 by a screw. A lower portion of the upper cover 320 is provided with two positioning posts 322, and the two positioning posts 322 are arranged symmetrically. The second connecting member 330 is provided with mounting holes 121 that correspond to the positioning posts 322, and the second connecting member 330 is fixed to the lower part of the upper cover 320 by the positioning posts 322. The second connecting element 330 is made of bent sheet metal.The bolt 600 extends into the first connecting member 230 and the second connecting member 330. Since the second connecting member 330 is fixed to the lower part of the upper cover 320 and the bolt 600 extends into the second connecting member 330, the bolt 600 is fixed together to the lower part of the upper cover 320. The first connecting member 230 is connected to the second connecting member 330 only by the bolt 600, so that the first connecting member 230 can rotate about the central axis of the bolt 600. Therefore, the spray angle of the cylinder 300 can be manually adjusted, and the adjustable spray angle range is large.

[0027] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, an end surface of the top cover 320 is provided with an escape hole 321 into which the first connecting member 230 projects. The escape hole 321 is arranged on the end surface of the top cover 320, and the escape hole 321 is an elongated hole. When the user manually operates the cylinder 300 to adjust a shower angle, an edge of the escape hole 321 may abut against the first connecting member 230 to limit the pivoting angle of the cylinder 300. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, a length of the escape hole 321 may be increased or decreased. When the length of the escape hole 321 is increased, the cylinder 300 has a larger pivoting angle, and when the length of the escape hole 321 is decreased, the cylinder 300 has a smaller pivoting angle.

[0028] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the fixed base 100 includes a lower base 110 and a fixing member 120. A size of the lower base 110 is slightly larger than that of the fixing member 120 so that the fixing member 120 can be inserted into the lower base 110. A circumferential side wall of the base 110 is provided with an opening, and a screw extends into the base 110 to firmly connect the base 110 and the fixing member 120. The fixing member 120 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 121, and the fixed base 100 is mounted and fixed to a wall or a ceiling through the mounting holes 121, so that the shower can be integrally assembled and fixed.

[0029] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the shower is further provided with a lower cover 400. A lower end of the cylinder 300 is fixedly connected to a third connecting member 340, and the third connecting member 340 is fastened to a lower portion of the cylinder 300 by a screw. An outer peripheral wall of the third connecting member 340 is provided with an external thread, and the lower cover 400 is screw-connected to the third connecting member 340 to fix the lower cover 400 below the cylinder 300 and cover the spray device 500 at a water outlet of the cylinder 300, so that the spray device 500 is hidden in the cylinder 300 and the spray device 500 cannot be seen from the outside, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the shower.

[0030] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. 6, a central portion of the third connecting member 340 is provided with a center hole 341, and the spray device 500 extends into the center hole 341 and is connected to the water outlet of the water pipe 210. When the user needs to replace the spray device 500, it is only necessary to unscrew the bottom cover 400 and disassemble the spray device 500 for replacement. Multiple spray devices 500 can be arranged, and the spray patterns of the multiple spray devices 500 include rain, water column, mist, waterfall, single nozzle, and multiple nozzle, which can meet the different needs of the user.

[0031] It can be assumed that in some embodiments of the present application, which are based on Fig.2, the 210 water pipe is made of polyethylene. Polyethylene (PE for short) is a thermoplastic produced by polymerizing ethylene monomers. Polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, has a waxy feel, and has excellent low-temperature resistance (the lowest operating temperature can reach -100°C to 70°C). The 210 water pipe is made of PE tubing, which features chemical stability, thermal stability, light weight, wear resistance, long service life, electrical insulation, hygiene and environmental protection, convenient installation, and can extend the service life of the shower.
