Hand Shower Mount Trigger Release Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hand shower picking and placing structures are cumbersome, with difficulties in proper insertion and holding, leading to accidental falls and laborious removal, and are prone to misuse due to high support device placement and complex alignment requirements.
Innovation Solution
A structure featuring a fixed portion with a locking member and a trigger element that allows for rapid separation of the shower body from the fixed portion by moving the locking member, enabling quick and intuitive fixing and removal through a simple alignment process without repeated alignment or insertion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the handheld portion is inserted into the slot to realize hooking, then the hand shower can be fixed on the support device, but it is not easy for users to intuitively check whether the handheld portion is properly inserted and held in place, causing the hand shower to easily fall off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes to indicate the locking state. The indicator component changes color or position to provide visual feedback to users, allowing them to intuitively check whether the handheld portion is properly inserted and locked into the slot, thereby improving both reliability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates an indicator component that provides visual feedback about the locking state. This feedback mechanism allows users to immediately know whether the hand shower is securely attached, eliminating the need for repeated checking and ensuring proper installation.
2Reliability
If the handheld portion is inserted too deeply into the slot, then the hand shower can be securely held, but the hand shower needs to be pulled out with both hands when removing, which is laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a trigger element that enables one-handed operation for removal. When the user presses the trigger, it automatically releases the locking mechanism, allowing the hand shower to be removed with a single hand without requiring two hands to pull it out, thus maintaining security while improving removal ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a dynamic locking mechanism with a trigger element that can be actuated to change the state from locked to unlocked. This dynamic system allows secure holding during use while enabling easy one-handed removal when needed.
3Ease of operation
If the hand shower is inserted into the slot without proper positioning, then insertion is simple, but the hand shower shakes easily and can be misused, causing it to fall off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a positioning component that automatically guides the handheld portion into the correct position during insertion. This preliminary positioning action ensures proper alignment before the locking mechanism engages, maintaining insertion simplicity while achieving accurate positioning to prevent shaking and misuse.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a positioning component as an intermediary between the handheld portion and the slot. This intermediary element guides the insertion process and ensures proper positioning, allowing simple insertion while achieving reliable positioning accuracy to prevent the hand shower from shaking or falling off.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a structure for rapidly picking and placing a hand shower comprising a fixed portion, a shower body, and a trigger element. The fixed portion is movably disposed with a locking member, and the shower body is disposed with a locking matching portion. When the locking matching portion is locked to and matched with the locking member, the shower body is fixed relative to the fixed portion. The trigger element is movably disposed on the shower body. When the shower body is fixed relative to the fixed portion, the trigger element contacts the locking member, and movement of the trigger element is configured to drive the locking member to move to enable the locking member to be separated from the locking matching portion and to enable the shower body to be rapidly separated from the fixed portion.
