20230392358
This application claims priority from the Chinese patent application 202210525920.X filed Jun. 1, 2022, the content of which is incorporated herein in the entirety by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of bathrooms and in particular to a shower assembly with an adjustable water delivery angle.
In the prior art, a top spray of a shower assembly is typically fixedly disposed and thus cannot be adjusted in angle and height. Therefore, the top spray cannot be adjusted according to actual requirements of a user, resulting in a poor user experience. Further, a shower head of a conventional shower assembly is usually placed on a shower head seat with a hanging hole, requiring the user to accurately find the position of the hanging hole during use and resulting in inconvenient operation.
The present disclosure provides a shower assembly with an adjustable water delivery angle. In this solution, a movable piece is disposed to enable a top spray support arm to be limited or positioned so as to adjust a water delivery angle and a height of the top spray support arm, and the movable piece is provided with a first magnetic attraction element such that a shower head can be hung on the movable piece in a magnetic attraction manner, resulting in convenient operation, and simple and compact structure.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure adopts the following solution.
There is provided a shower assembly with an adjustable water delivery angle, including:
Preferably, the top spray support arm is provided with a clamping portion, and the inlet water pipe is provided with a limiting portion. When the movable piece moves to the first position, the top spray support arm moves away from the inlet water pipe so as to enable the clamping portion to be in yielding cooperation with the limiting portion; when the movable piece moves to the second position, the top spray support arm moves close to the inlet water pipe so as to enable the clamping portion to be in limiting cooperation with the limiting portion.
Preferably, the clamping portion is a first clamping collar disposed on the top spray support arm, and the limiting portion is a plurality of clamping teeth disposed along the circumference of the inlet water pipe.
Preferably, the movable piece includes an insertion shaft and a limiting ring, and the top spray support arm is provided with a pivoting hole. The insertion shaft is inserted through the pivoting hole to connect with the inlet water pipe, and the limiting ring is in a limiting cooperation with a hole wall of the pivoting hole to connect the top spray support arm to the inlet water pipe in a limiting manner.
Preferably, the insertion shaft is provided with a first thread portion, and the inlet water pipe is provided with a second thread portion. When the movable piece rotates reversely, the movable piece is enabled to move away from the inlet water pipe to the first position by cooperation of the first thread portion and the second thread portion; when the movable piece rotates forward, the movable piece is enabled to move close to the inlet water pipe to the second position by cooperation of the first thread portion and the second thread portion.
Preferably, the inlet water pipe is further provided with a C-shaped buckle capable of limiting the first thread portion so as to prevent the movable piece from separating from the inlet water pipe.
Preferably, the inlet water pipe is further connected with a switching valve and the inlet water channel switches water supply for the first water outlet and the second water outlet under the action of the switching valve.
Preferably, a rubber pad is further disposed between the movable piece and the top spray support arm to provide a frictional force for rotation of the top spray support arm.
Preferably, an elastic piece is further disposed between the movable piece and the top spray support arm to provide a pre-tightening force for rotation of the top spray support arm.
Preferably, the inlet water pipe is fixedly mounted on a wall body and the first magnetic attraction element is a magnetic ring fixedly mounted on an outer end of the movable piece.
The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.
1. The shower assembly with an adjustable water delivery angle according to the present disclosure includes: an inlet water pipe, having an inlet water channel and a first water outlet and a second water outlet, both of which are in communication with the inlet water channel; a top spray support arm, rotatably mounted on the inlet water pipe; a movable piece, movably disposed on the inlet water pipe and connecting the top spray support arm to the inlet water pipe in a limiting manner, wherein when the movable piece moves to a first position, the top spray support arm rotates around the inlet water pipe; when the movable piece moves to a second position, the top spray support arm is limited along a circumference of the inlet water pipe, wherein the movable piece is provided with a first magnetic attraction element; and a shower head, provided with a second magnetic attraction element attractable with the first magnetic attraction element. In this solution, by disposing the movable piece, the top spray support arm is limited or positioned to adjust the water delivery angle and the height of the top spray support arm, and the moveable piece is provided with the first magnetic attraction element such that the shower head can be hung on the movable piece via magnetic attraction, resulting in convenient operation and a simple and compact structure.
2. The rubber pad is disposed between the movable piece and the top spray support arm to provide a frictional force for rotation of the top spray support arm, thus preventing the top spray support arm from uncontrollably deflecting.
3. The elastic piece is disposed between the movable piece and the top spray support arm to provide a pre-tightening force for the top spray support arm, thus preventing the top spray support arm from uncontrollably deflecting.
