Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shower systems require the use of a blocking cover fixed by gluing during installation, making installation inconvenient and disassembly difficult during maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A bathing device with an installation rack and bevel gear mechanism that allows for easy assembly and disassembly by using bevel gears and limit claws to securely connect and disconnect components, facilitating maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a blocking cover is used to block the shower water pipe connection during installation, then the connection is protected, but the installation process becomes inconvenient and disassembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking cover is divided into a cover body and a separate limiting component. The limiting component features threaded engagement that allows it to be screwed onto the pipe, providing secure positioning without requiring adhesive. This segmentation enables the blocking function to be achieved while maintaining ease of installation and removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting component transforms from a static glued connection to a dynamic threaded connection. The threads allow the limiting component to be easily screwed on during installation and unscrewed during disassembly, providing both secure protection and convenient operation throughout the product lifecycle.
2Reliability
If a blocking cover is fixed by gluing, then the connection is secured, but disassembly during maintenance becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into the blocking cover, limiting component, and threaded engagement mechanism. This allows the blocking cover to remain securely attached during use while enabling easy separation during maintenance without damaging components or requiring special tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The chemical bonding method (gluing) is replaced with a mechanical bonding method (threaded engagement). This substitution maintains the security and stability of the connection during normal use while allowing for easy mechanical disassembly during maintenance, eliminating the permanence of adhesive bonds.
3Reliability
If a blocking cover is used during installation, then the pipe connection is protected, but the overall device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking cover and limiting component are designed as an integrated assembly where the limiting component is attached to the blocking cover. This merging reduces the number of separate parts and simplifies the installation process while maintaining the protective function and avoiding increased complexity.

AI summary
A shower device that is easy to install is provided, which includes: an installation rack; a front lower of the installation rack is fixedly connected to a fixed seat through a bolt. A middle of the installation rack and the fixed seat A is clamped and fixed with an adapter A, a top of the adapter A is fixedly connected to one end of a connection pipe. Three limit claws A contract synchronously to detach from a front end of the fixed seat A, a screw barrel A is rotated to separate it from a valve, dismantle and maintain the valve. Maintenance rack A also completes a disassembly process, beautifying an installation of the valve as a whole, while also limit and preventing the valve from shaking.
