DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended to only explain the present invention and not limit the present invention.

Preferred Embodiment I of the present invention:

Referring to FIG. 1, a combined shower of the present invention includes the wall-mounted supporting arm 10, the over-head shower 20 and the hand-held shower 30. The wall-mounted supporting arm 10 is fixed on the wall by a drilling hole in the wall. The over-head shower 20 is fixedly mounted on the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 by a thread or a snap joint. The mounting ring 50 is provided at an end of the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 away from the wall, and the mounting ring 50 is provided with the switching button 40. The lower end of the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 may be connected to the hose 60, and the other end of the hose 60 is connected to the hand-held shower 30.

Specifically, the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 is connected to a water inlet pipe from the wall. The end of the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 away from the wall is provided with a shunt valve (not shown), and a water passage of the shunt valve (not shown) is connected to the over-head shower 20 and the hand-held shower 30. Moreover, the switching button 40 is connected to the shunt valve (not shown), and is configured to switch the water passage of the shunt valve (not shown).

Specifically, the top end of the switching button 40 is provided with the handle 41, and the over-head shower 20 or the hand-held shower 30 is selectively switched on by rotating the handle 41.

Referring to FIG. 2, the damping portion 51 is fixedly provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting ring 50. The damping portion 51 is made of a flexible material, preferably, a rubber. The damping portion 51 may be sleeved on the mounting ring 50, or may be formed through a secondary injection molding based on the mounting ring 50. In addition, a plurality of friction ribs 511 are provided on the damping portion 51.

Specifically, the central hole 31 is provided on the face cover of the hand-held shower 30. The central hole 31 may be sleeved on the periphery of the mounting ring 50, that is, the damping portion 51 is in interference fit with the central hole 31 on the hand-held shower 30 under the friction force of the friction ribs 511, so that the hand-held shower can be firmly sleeved on the mounting ring or can be used by hand after being separated from the mounting ring.

Referring to FIG. 3, according to the above technical solution of Embodiment I, the hand-held shower 30 and the over-head shower 20 can be installed only through the wall-mounted supporting arm 10. In this way, the structure is simple and easy to use. Additionally, the mounting ring 50 and the damping portion 51 can stably fix the hand-held shower 30 on the wall-mounted supporting arm 10, so as to prevent the hand-held shower 30 from falling to ground and ensure the long-term normal use of the hand-held shower 30.

Preferred Embodiment II of the present invention:

Referring to FIG. 4, the damping portion 51 mentioned above may also be made of a magnetic material, and the central hole 31 of the hand-held shower 30 is provided with the magnetic block 512, such a magnet or an iron block. Single magnetic block 512 may be provided, or a plurality of magnetic blocks 512 may be provided in the central hole 31 at intervals. The magnetic block 512 magnetically cooperates with the damping portion 51, so that the hand-held shower 30 is stably fixed on the wall-mounted supporting arm 10 to prevent the hand-held shower 30 from falling to ground.

The above description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, which should not be regarded as the exclusion of other embodiments, but can be used for various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified through the above teaching or the techniques or knowledge of the related fields within the scope of the concept of the present invention. In addition, the modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims.
