The adjustment components 2 are threadedly connected to the supporting rod 1, which can ensure that the adjustment rod is firmly fixed in the bathroom and will not fall, so as to ensure the personal safety of users.
In this embodiment, the hollow structure of supporting rod 1 serves as a water channel for connecting the first connection pipe 31 and the second connection pipe 41, and then connecting the first shower head 3 and the second shower head 4, so that the water flow can be smoothly transmitted from the external water source to each shower head to provide users with shower water.
In another embodiment, users can connect the first connection pipe 31 and the second connection pipe 41 with the the supporting rod 1 directly by inserting the first connection pipe 31 and the second connection pipe 41 into the interior of the supporting rod 1. A water flow channel also can be formed in this way to transmit the water flow to each shower head.
Preferably, the control valve 32 is used to control water to flow out from the first shower head 3 and/or the second shower head 4, so as to meet various showering needs of a family.
The control valve 32 in this embodiment is a common three-way control valve 32 on the market, its working principle is based on the flow diversion principle in fluid mechanics. By rotating or moving the valve core inside the control valve 32, users can change the cross-sectional area of the water flow channel to control the water flow direction and flow rate. Those skilled in the art should be familiar with its principles and be able to directly apply them, so no excessive elaboration is given here.
In this embodiment, the first shower head 3 and the second shower head 4 are both silicone shower heads with good flexibility and self-cleaning function, which are not easy to be blocked and can ensure that the water flow is sprayed evenly to provide users with a comfortable shower experience. At the same time, the spraying mode of the first shower head 3 and the second shower head 4 can be adjusted according to users' needs, such as mist spraying, columnar spraying, etc., to meet the preferences of different users for shower water flow.
When in use, the adjustment rod needs to be fixed in the middle part of the opposite wall. By adjusting the relative positions of the adjustment components 2 and the supporting rod 1, the adjustment components 2 at the end of the adjustment rod are abutted against the wall to achieve a supporting effect, which is suitable for bathrooms with smaller widths.
In another embodiment, two ends of the supporting rod 1 of this embodiment are threadedly connected with adjustment components 2, so it is suitable for bathrooms with wider widths. Users can flexibly adjust the position of the shower head assembly in the bathroom to adjust the shower space, providing users with a better shower experience for two people.
Preferably, installment zones are arranged on the two ends of the supporting rod 1. A partition 14 is arranged between the installment zone and the adjustment component 2. The two installment zones are connected via the supporting rod 1.
The installment zones includes a first installment zone 11 and a second installment zone 12. The first installment zone 11 is connected to the interior of the supporting rod 1 through a first connection hole 112, and the second installment zone 12 is connected to the interior of the supporting rod 1 through a third connection hole 122.
Further, the first installment zone 11 is provided with a second connection hole 113 connected to the first pipe connector 111, and the first pipe connector 111 is connected to the first connection pipe 31; the second installment zone 12 is provided with a fourth connection hole 123 connected to the second pipe connector 121, and the second pipe connector 121 is connected to the second connection pipe 41.
Specifically, the first pipe connector 111 and the second pipe connector 121 are threadedly connected to the supporting rod 1. The threaded connection is a type of detachable connection. If there is a leak or other unfavorable condition at the connection, it is convenient for users to repair and replace the parts. In addition, the detachable connection design can also reduce the space required for the product to facilitate express packaging and transportation. And users can assemble and connect the product after it is transported to the destination. Similarly, if the first connection pipe 31 and the second connection pipe 41 are damaged or leaking, users can also repair and replace them easily.
During the actual installment process, a proper amount of sealant needs to be applied to the threaded connection parts of the first pipe connector 111 and the supporting rod 1 and the second pipe connector 121 and the supporting rod 1 respectively, to ensure the sealing of the connection parts and prevent water leakage. At the same time, when tightening the pipe connector, it is necessary to use appropriate tools and operate according to the specified torque to avoid loose connection or damage to the screw thread due to over-tightening or over-loosening.
Preferably, the adjustment component 2 includes a fixing tube 21 and an adjustment tube 22. The fixing tube 21 is connected to the supporting rod 1, and the adjustment tube 22 is threadedly connected to the fixing tube 21.
Specifically, a screw 211 extending axially is arranged inside the fixing tube 21, and a screw thread hole 221 adapted to the screw 211 is arranged on the adjustment tube 22.
Understandably, one end of the adjustment tube 22 is threadedly connected to the screw 211, and other end of the adjustment tube 22 is used to abut against the wall. The relative position of the adjustment tube 22 and the fixing tube 21 can be adjusted by simply rotating the adjustment tube 22 clockwise or counterclockwise, and the length of the adjustment rod can be further adjusted. The simple adjustment and the tight connection improves the users' experience.
Further, a connection part 222 is arranged on one end of the adjustment tube 22 away from the supporting rod 1, and the size of the connection part 222 is larger than or equal to that of the adjustment tube 22.
In actual production use, the size of the connection part 222 is generally larger than that of the adjustment tube 22. Compared with the end of the adjustment tube 22 directly abutting against the wall, the additionally arranged connection part 222 has a larger abutment area against the wall, which can generate greater friction with the wall and make the supporting effect better.
Further, the inner diameter of the fixing tube 21 is adapted to the outer diameter of the adjustment tube 22, so that the adjustment tube 22 and the fixing tube 21 can fit tightly together to prevent loosening and slipping during use, which can ensure users' shower safety.
Preferably, the fixing tube 21 is connected to the supporting rod 1 via a connection tube 23. A first screw thread 13 is arranged at one end of the supporting rod 1, and a second thread 231 is arranged at one end of the connection tube 23. The first screw thread 13 is adapted to the second screw thread 231.
Further, a third screw thread 232 is arranged at one end of the connection tube 23 away from the supporting rod 1, and a fourth screw thread 212 is arranged at the fixing tube 21. The third screw thread 232 is adapted to the fourth screw thread 212.
Preferably, the first connection pipe 31 is a flexible connection pipe.
By arranging a flexible first connection pipe 31, utilizing its stretchable and bendable characteristics, and in combination with adjustment components 2 arranged at the end of the supporting rod 1, the relative position of the first shower head 3 and the second shower head 4 can be adjusted, which provides better flexibility and can meet the shower needs of users of different body shapes.
The method for using the dual shower head shower apparatus provided in this embodiment is as follows:
Users needs to fix the adjustment rod in the middle position of the opposite wall. First, adjust the relative positions of the adjustment components 2 and the supporting rod 1 according to the actual width of the bathroom, to make the adjustment components 2 at two ends of the adjustment rod contact with the wall, so as to achieve a supporting effect. During the specific operation, users can easily adjust the length of the adjustment rod to adapt to bathrooms of different widths by only rotating the adjustment tube 22. After adjusting the position of the adjustment rod, connect the control valve 32 to the external water source and ensure that the connection is firm. Then, users can control the water to flow out from the first shower head 3, the second shower head 4, or from both shower heads at the same time through the control valve 32 according to their needs. If the relative position of the first shower head 3 and the second shower head 4 needs to be adjusted, it can be achieved by stretching and bending the first connection pipe 31.
The dual shower head apparatus provided in this embodiment is suitable for bathrooms of various sizes. Whether it is a compact bathroom in a small apartment or a spacious bathroom in a large apartment, the apparatus can be firmly installed in a suitable position by adjusting the length of the adjustment rod. For some irregularly shaped bathrooms, the positions of the adjustment component 2 and the shower head assembly can also be flexibly adjusted to meet the shower users' needs.
