This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202323237658.8, filed on Nov. 29, 2023, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to the field of sanitary ware, in particular to a detachable shower pedestal.
Existing outdoor water heaters are usually sold together with matching showers. During selling, the showers are mounted on shower pedestals, and the shower pedestals are connected to the outdoor water heaters or are not connected to other products. When users use the outdoor water heaters, the shower pedestals can be mounted on the water heaters, and the shower pedestals can also be separately mounted on recreational vehicles provided with the water heaters. For example, the shower pedestals are mounted on water pipes of the recreational vehicles or mounted on outer walls of the recreational vehicles, and meanwhile, the water pipes are connected to the outdoor water heaters.
However, mounting the shower pedestals on the water heaters is a method having a widest application range. Because after the water heaters are mounted on the outer walls of the recreational vehicles, the water pipes are not necessarily exposed on the outer walls of the recreational vehicles but are hidden in the recreational vehicles, and it is inconvenient to directly mount the shower pedestals on the outer walls of the recreational vehicles.
For example, a Chinese patent with a publication number CN216304813U discloses a shower pedestal, having a principle that “a pipe fitting can be easily inserted into an insertion channel. Then, an operating portion is released, an elastic member drives the operating portion to reset under the action of an elastic restoring force, at this time, a holding portion extends into the insertion channel to tightly hold the pipe fitting, and the shower pedestal is mounted on the pipe fitting”. The prior art has the problems that although such shower pedestal is convenient to mount, it can only be mounted on the pipe fitting with a diameter within a certain range and usually cannot be adapted to the outdoor water heaters, and moreover, such shower pedestal has a complicated structure.
In order to solve the above technical problems, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a detachable shower pedestal suitable for outdoor water heaters.
A technical solution adopted in the present invention to solve the problems is: a detachable shower pedestal, comprising:
As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the locking nut, the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve are all made of plastic.
As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a depth of a U-shaped groove on the outer sleeve is smaller than a depth of a U-shaped groove on the inner sleeve.
As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the inner sleeve comprises a main body and a clamping portion, the clamping portion is fixedly connected to the main body, and the shower slot is provided at an outer end of the clamping portion.
As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a screw head surface of the locking nut and a surface of the main body are both provided with anti-slip textures.
Beneficial effects of the present invention: Compared with the use of an elastic member to clamp an externally provided water pipe in the prior art, relative positions of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve have a wider adjustable range, such that the shower pedestal of the present invention can be mounted on a series of pipe fittings with wider diameters, comprising rod-shaped handles of outdoor water heaters, etc. Moreover, the U-shaped notches on the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are combined to form a complete circle, which are not prone to falling off after mounting.
The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the description of the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
In the figures: 1—locking nut, 2—outer sleeve, 3—inner sleeve, 31—main body, 32 clamping portion, 4—U-shaped notch, 33—shower slot, 5—anti-slip texture.
This section will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The function of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the statement of the text part of the description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present invention. However, the accompanying drawings shall not be construed as a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention.
In the statement of the present invention, it should be understood that orientation statements, such as orientation or position relationships indicated by up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or position relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only to facilitate the statement of the present invention and simplify the statement, rather than indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation to the present invention.
In the statement of the present invention, “several” means one or more, “a plurality of” means two or more, “greater than”, “less than”, and “more than”, etc. are understood to exclude the original number, and above, below, within, etc. are understood to include the original number. If there is a statement of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of indicated technical features.
In the statement of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified, words such as setting, mounting and connection should be understood in a broad sense. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
Referring to
Use principle: The locking nut 1 and the inner sleeve 3 are relatively rotated to adjust relative positions of the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 2, and the U-shaped notches 4 on the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 2 are used to tightly clamp left and right sides of a handle of an outdoor water heater, respectively, or to tightly clamp a water pipe. Compared with the use of an elastic member to clamp an externally provided water pipe in the prior art, in the present embodiment, relative positions of the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 2 have a wider adjustable range, and the U-shaped notches 4 on the inner sleeve 3 and the outer sleeve 2 are combined to form a complete circle, such that the shower pedestal of the present invention can be mounted on a series of pipe fittings with wider diameters, comprising rod-shaped handles of outdoor water heaters, etc. Moreover, the shower pedestal is not prone to falling off after mounting.
As a preferred embodiment, the locking nut 1, the outer sleeve 2 and the inner sleeve 3 are all made of plastic. The plastic will not rust when exposed to water.
In a preferred embodiment, a depth of a U-shaped groove on the outer sleeve 2 is smaller than a depth of a U-shaped groove on the inner sleeve 3, such that convenience is provided for connecting the inner sleeve 3 and the locking nut 1, and an adjustment range of the two is wider.
In some optional embodiments, the inner sleeve 3 comprises a main body 31 and a clamping portion 32, the clamping portion 32 is fixedly connected to the main body 31, and the shower slot 33 is provided at an outer end of the clamping portion 32. The inner sleeve 3 of such structure facilitates injection molding.
In some embodiments, a screw head surface of the locking nut 1 and a surface of the main body 31 are both provided with anti-slip textures 5.
The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Under the invention concept of the present invention, equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly used in other relevant technical fields are all included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
