DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. It is understandable that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for convenience of description, only some but not all structures related to the present invention are shown in the accompany drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The “embodiment” mentioned herein means that a specific feature, structure or characteristic described in combination with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The term appearing in different parts of the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or an independent or alternative embodiment exclusive of other embodiments. It may be explicitly or implicitly appreciated by those skilled in the art that the embodiment described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, an embodiment provides a hanging shower, including a water outlet support arm 1, a fixing component 3, and a shower body 2. The water outlet support arm 1 extends in a first direction, and the fixing component 3 is installed on the water outlet support arm 1, and extends in a second direction. The first direction has an included angle a with the second direction. Specifically, the fixing component 3 is not lower than a horizontal plane, that is, the fixing component 3 is flush with or higher than the horizontal plane, then when the shower body 2 is hung on the fixing component 3, it is not easy to slip from the fixing component 3.

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.

Embodiment I

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.

Embodiment II

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.
