This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202220208335.2, filed on Jan. 25, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the technical field of hanging of water outlet devices, and, in particular, relates to a hanging shower.
Common water outlet devices in the bathroom industry include appliances such as spray guns and showers, which are usually either inserted into a shower seat or into a jack of the shower when they are in use or idle. The insertion method requires the steps of pushing up and pulling down the water outlet devices, which is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient for the elderly, children, and people with mobility impairments.
The present invention provides a hanging shower, so as to solve the technical problems provided in the background art.
The present invention provides a hanging shower, including a water outlet support arm, a fixing component, and a shower body. The water outlet support arm extends in a first direction, and the fixing component is installed on the water outlet support arm and extends in a second direction. The first direction has an included angle with the second direction. The shower body is communicated with a first water outlet of the water outlet support arm. A hanging ring is arranged on the shower body and the hanging ring is used for hanging on the fixing component. An end of the fixing component away from the water outlet support arm is not lower than an end of the fixing component connected to the water outlet support arm.
Further, the fixing component may be a hanging rod. The hanging rod may be installed on the water outlet support arm and may have the included angle with the water outlet support arm. The shower body may be hung on the hanging rod through the hanging ring.
Further, the fixing component may be a water spray panel and the water spray panel may be installed on and communicated with a second water outlet of the water outlet support arm. The first water outlet may be located on a side wall of the water outlet support arm or the water spray panel. The hanging shower may further include a water divider, and the water divider may be installed on the water outlet support arm or the water spray panel for opening and closing the water spray panel and the shower body respectively.
Furthermore, the water divider may include a water dividing valve and a switching handle for controlling the water dividing valve; also, the water dividing valve may be arranged on the water outlet support arm or the water spray panel.
Furthermore, a water outlet hole of the water spray panel may be a waterfall hole.
Furthermore, the fixing component and the shower body may be magnetically fixed.
Furthermore, the hanging shower may further include a magnetic element. The magnetic element may be installed at a hanging position of the fixing component and/or the shower body. When the magnetic element is arranged on only one of the fixing component and the shower body, the hanging position of the other may be made of a magnetic adsorption material for adsorption.
Furthermore, the magnetic element may include a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element. A first placement groove may be formed in an inner side wall of the hanging ring, and the first magnetic element may be placed in the first placement groove, and may be locked and fixed with the first placement groove through a first cover plate. A second placement groove may be formed in one end of the fixing component adjacent to the water outlet support arm, and the second magnetic element may be placed in the second placement groove, and may be locked and fixed with the second placement groove through a second cover plate.
Further, the hanging ring may be arranged on a back or top of the shower body.
The advantages of the present invention are as follows:
1. Since the hanging ring is arranged on the shower body and the hanging ring has a diameter greater than or equal to a maximum length of a lateral interface of the fixing component, the shower body can be directly sleeved on the fixing component from the side through the hanging ring, which is more convenient than the hanging steps of a conventional shower seat or shower jack.
2, The hanging rod has the included angle with the water outlet support arm, and the hanging rod is not lower than a horizontal plane, so as to prevent the shower body from falling from the hanging rod.
3. When the fixing component is the water spray panel, various water discharge methods can be realized by the water divider, and the shower body can be hung to realize multi-functionality.
4. Magnetic fixing is adopted at the hanging position of the fixing component and the shower body, which can effectively reduce a probability of the shower body falling from the fixing component.

As shown in
The shower body 2 is communicated with a first water outlet 34 of the water outlet support arm 1. Specifically, the shower body 2 is communicated with the first water outlet 34 of the water outlet support arm 1 through a hose. A hanging ring 21 is arranged on the shower body 2. The hanging ring 21 has an inner diameter greater than or equal to a maximum length of a cross section of the fixing component 3. Preferably, the inner diameter of the hanging ring 21 is 1-3 cm greater than the maximum length of the cross section, too small inner diameter is not easy for insertion, and too large inner diameter easily make the shower body 2 easy to slip from the fixing component 3.
The fixing component 3 is a hanging rod. The hanging rod is installed on the water outlet support arm 1 and has the included angle with the water outlet support arm. The shower body 2 is hung on the hanging rod through the hanging ring 21. In order to prevent the shower body 2 from falling from the hanging rod, preferably, the shower body 2 and the hanging rod are connected by magnetic adsorption, such that the shower body 2 is more stable when hanging and is not easy to slip off.
The hanging ring 21 may be arranged on a back or an upper end face of the shower body 2. When the hanging ring 21 is arranged on the back of the shower body 2, the hanging ring 21 is arranged perpendicular to the shower body 2, which makes it more convenient to take the shower body out from the fixing component 3, and the shower body can also be directly hung on the fixing component 3 for use. When the hanging ring 21 is arranged on the top of the shower body 2, the hanging ring 21 and the shower body 2 are on the same horizontal plane, that is, the integrity is relatively excellent and the appearance is more beautiful. Preferably, the hanging ring 21 is arranged on the back of the shower body 2.
The shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 are magnetically connected. The shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 may be both magnetic elements, or either of the shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 may be a magnetic element, and the contact surface of the other can form a magnetic attraction effect with the magnetic element. The magnetic element is a strong magnet.
Specifically, when the lap joint of the shower body 2 is a magnetic element, a first placement groove for placing a first magnetic element 22 is formed in an inner side wall of the shower body 2. The first magnetic element 22 is placed in the first placement groove, and is locked and fixed with the first placement groove through a first cover plate 23. The first magnetic element 22 is fixed and installed in the first placement groove. The lap joint of the shower body 2 may also be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element. Specifically, at least the inner side wall of the hanging ring 21 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element, or the whole hanging ring 21 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element. The material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element includes a substance such as iron.
When the lap joint of the fixing component 3 is usually one end of the fixing component 3 adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1, that is, a second placement groove is formed in a side wall of one end of the fixing component adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1. A second magnetic element 31 is placed in the second placement groove, and is locked and fixed with the second placement groove through a second cover plate 32, and then the second magnetic element 31 is fixed in the second placement groove. The lap joint of the fixing component 3 and the shower body 2 may also be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element. Specifically, the end of the fixing component 3 adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element, or the whole fixing component 3 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element.
In more detail, there are three ways of magnetic adsorption between the shower body 2 and the fixing component 3. First, the first magnetic member 22 is installed in the shower body 2, and the lap joint of the fixing component 3 and the shower body 2 is made of a material that can be adsorbed by the first magnetic element 22. Second, the second magnetic element 31 is installed in the fixing component 3, and then at least the inner side surface of the hanging ring 21 is made of a material that can be adsorbed by the second magnetic element 31. Third, both the shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 are provided with magnetic elements, and adsorption and fixing are realized by the first magnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 31. The second or third method is preferred. If the second method is used, the shower body 2 is relatively light and more convenient to use. If the third method is used, the adsorption force is stronger, which makes the shower body 2 less likely to fall from the fixing component 3.
The difference between Embodiment II and Embodiment I is that the fixing component 3 of Embodiment II is a water spray panel, while the fixing component 3 of Embodiment I is a simple hanging rod.
The water spray panel is installed on and communicated with a second water outlet 35 of the water outlet support arm 1. The water spray panel can discharge water through the water outlet support arm 1, and a plurality of water outlet holes are formed in the water spray panel. Preferably, the water outlet holes of the water spray panel are waterfall holes. Specifically, an extension part 33 is arranged at one end of the water spray panel connected to the water outlet support arm 1. The water outlet support arm is communicated with the water spray panel through the extension part 33. The first water outlet 34 is located on the water outlet support arm 1 or a side wall of the extension part 33 of the water spray panel. The hanging shower further includes a water divider 4, and the water divider 4 is installed on the water outlet support arm or the water spray panel for opening and closing the shower body 2 and the water spray panel respectively.
Specifically, the water divider 4 includes a water dividing valve 41 and a switching handle 42 for controlling the water dividing valve 41; moreover, the water dividing valve 41 is installed on the water outlet support arm or the water spray panel. The water discharge of the shower body 2 and the water spray panel is controlled by switching the handle 42. An installation method of the water dividing valve 41 is a conventional method in the field, so it will not be further described here.
An installation method and position of the second magnetic element 31 are the same as that in Embodiment I. Specifically, a second placement groove can be arranged on the water spray panel and the second magnetic element 31 is placed in the second placement groove, and is locked through the second cover plate 32. By setting the fixing component 3 as the water spray panel, the multi-functional effect of various water discharge methods can be realized, and the shower body 2 can be fixed.
The above described are merely implementations of the present invention, which are not intended to limit the scope of the patent of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or process change made based on the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct or indirect application thereof in other related technical fields, should fall within the protection scope of the patent of the present invention.
