A shower curtain is a curtain-like article that is hung outside a bathtub with shower heads, or in the shower area. The shower curtain is mainly used for preventing water splash of a shower from splashing to a place outside the shower; and has the function of shielding people who take a shower. The shower curtain rod is an auxiliary fitting part for fixedly hanging the shower curtain. The shower curtain rod is generally installed at different positions according to different positions and shapes of the shower area, and the shapes thereof are also different. The most common shower curtain rods are straight rod type, semi-circular and semi-arc shower curtain rods. The straight, rod type shower curtain rods are usually fixed on two opposite walls of a bathroom. Semi-circular and semi-arc shower curtain rods arc often used in shower areas or bathtubs in larger bathrooms.

Since the positioning mechanism is arranged in the inner rod, the positioning mechanism drives the inner rod to move rightwards in the outer rod, the inner rod moves rightwards relative to the outer rod, and the shower curtain rod is shortened. When the shower curtain rod drives the spring to rotate counterclockwise through the knob rotating shaft, the spring coil of the spring rotates counterclockwise, the spring coil passes over the positioning mechanism, the spring moves rightwards relative to the positioning mechanism, and then the positioning mechanism moves leftwards relative to the spring. Since the positioning mechanism is arranged in the inner rod, the positioning mechanism drives the inner rod to move leftwards in the outer rod, the inner, rod moves leftwards relative to the outer rod, the shower curtain rod extends, and finally the two ends of the shower curtain rod abut against the wall body to be used as a straight shower curtain rod. The shower curtain rod can be easily adjusted in extension or retraction through the knob rotating shaft, and is simple in structure, convenient to operate and very convenient to use.
Secondly, in the present application, the spring pushes the inner rod to move in the outer rod, and the spring is not a rigid structure and can be bent. Therefore, when a bathtub is used in a bathroom for bathing, the straight rod cannot be used as the shower curtain rod, because the straight rod can cause the shower curtain to be directly attached to the bathtub, and a user cannot stand when taking out of the bath, and it needs to use the semi-arc shower curtain rod. When the shower curtain rod drives the spring to rotate counterclockwise through the knob rotating shaft, the, spring coil of the spring rotates counterclockwise, the spring coil passes over the positioning mechanism, the spring moves rightwards relative to the positioning mechanism, and then the positioning mechanism moves leftwards relative to the spring. Since the positioning mechanism is arranged in the inner rod, the positioning mechanism drives the inner rod to move leftwards in the outer rod, the inner rod moves leftwards relative to the outer rod, the shower curtain rod extends, and finally the two ends of the shower curtain rod abut against the wall body. The knob rotating shaft is continuously rotated counterclockwise, and the shower curtain rod is continuously extended. Since both ends of the shower curtain rod are supported by the wall body and cannot extend, the inner rod, the outer rod and the spring are bent outwards, and the shower curtain rod is in a semi-arc shape. After the rotation is completed, the shower curtain rod is finally a semi-arc shower curtain rod, and both ends of the shower curtain rod are abutted against the wall body and cannot fall off. A certain buffer space is formed between the shower curtain and the bathtub, so that a user can stand in the buffer space when taking out of the bath, and the buffer space is convenient to use.
Therefore, the present invention provides a telescopic shower curtain rod, wherein the spring, is driven to rotate through the knob rotating shaft, the spring passes over the positioning mechanism to drive the inner rod to extend out of or retract into the outer rod, so that the extension or shortening of the shower curtain rod can be realized. Since the spring can be used in a bending way, the shower curtain rod can also be used in a way of bending the shower curtain rod into a semi-arc rod.
