As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a multi-way joint according to an embodiment includes a valve body 100 and a connecting body 200.

The valve body 100 is provided with an installation cavity 110 and a water inlet passage 120, the installation cavity 110 is provided with an installation opening 112, a first water cavity 111 is formed in the cavity wall of the installation cavity 110, and the water inlet passage 120 penetrates through the valve body 100 and is communicated with the first water cavity 111. The connecting body 200 comprises a connecting body 210 movably mounted in the mounting cavity 110 through the mounting port 112, and an adjusting piece 220 connected with the connecting body 210, wherein the connecting body 210 is provided with a second water cavity 211 communicated with the first water cavity 111 and a water outlet channel 212 communicated with the second water cavity 211, and the adjusting piece 220 is used for controlling the connecting body 210 to rotate around a first axis 800 so as to enable the connecting body 210 to incline relative to the valve body 100; wherein the first water chamber 111 maintains communication with the second water chamber 211 during the rotation of the connection body 210 about the first axis 800.

When the multi-channel joint is used for installing and connecting the shower pipe 700, firstly, the valve body 100 is fixed on an installation base which is arranged in advance, then the connecting body 210 is movably installed in the installation cavity 110 through the installation port 112, the first water cavity 111 is communicated with the second water cavity 211, then the shower pipe 700 is connected with the connecting body 210, the shower pipe 700 is communicated with the water outlet channel 212, the installation of the shower pipe 700 is completed, and finally the water inlet channel 120 is communicated with the water inlet pipe, so that the installation of the multi-channel joint can be completed. When it is desired to adjust the tilt angle of the shower 700, the adjuster 220 can be operated to rotate the connecting body 210 about the first axis 800, thereby tilting the connecting body 210 relative to the valve body 100 and thus completing the adjustment of the tilt angle of the shower 700. Thus, the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 can be adjusted and fixed by the adjusting member 220 without damaging the installation base surface.

Therein, and with particular reference to FIG. 1, a first axis 800 is within the valve body end face where the mounting port 112 is located and intersects a second axis 900.

It should be noted that, in the process of adjusting the inclination angle of shower pipe 700, the inclination direction of connecting body 210 should be opposite to the original inclination direction of shower pipe 700, which is the direction in which shower pipe 700 is inclined due to unevenness of the construction worker or the installation base surface. Thus, the adjustment of the shower 700 can be leveled.

As shown in fig. 1, 3 and 5, in detail, the connecting body 210 is provided with a connecting portion 214 connected to the adjusting member 220, the connecting portion 214 is provided with an adjusting hole 2141, the valve body 100 is provided with an adjusting screw hole 130 opposite to the adjusting hole 2141, the adjusting member 220 is an adjusting bolt, the adjusting bolt is movably inserted through the adjusting hole 2141 and inserted into the adjusting screw hole 130, and a head of the adjusting bolt abuts against the connecting portion 214; wherein the adjusting bolt is controllable to rotate the head pushing connection 214 about the first axis 800. When the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting bolt can be rotated to screw into the adjusting screw hole 130, so that the head of the adjusting bolt pushes the connecting part 214 to rotate around the first axis 800, the connecting body rotates around the first axis 800, and the adjustment of the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 is completed. Thus, the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt.

It should be noted that the diameter of the adjusting hole 2141 is larger than the diameter of the screw of the adjusting bolt and smaller than the maximum size of the head of the adjusting bolt. Thus, the connecting portion 214 can be displaced by being pressed by the head of the adjusting bolt.

In some embodiments, a metal gasket is disposed between the head of the adjusting bolt and the connecting portion 214, and the metal gasket is sleeved outside the screw rod; the outer diameter of the metal gasket is larger than the aperture of the adjusting hole 2141, and the inner diameter of the metal gasket is smaller than the maximum size of the head of the adjusting bolt. In this way, when the diameter of the adjustment hole 2141 is larger than the maximum dimension of the head of the adjustment bolt, the connection portion 214 can still be displaced by being pressed by the head of the adjustment bolt.

Wherein, the metal gasket can be selected from but not limited to stainless steel gasket.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 214 is spaced apart from the valve body 100, and the multi-channel joint further includes a gasket 300 disposed between the connecting portion 214 and the valve body 100, wherein one side of the gasket 300 abuts against the connecting portion 214 and the other side abuts against the valve body 100. Specifically, the gasket 300 is sleeved outside the connecting body 210. When the connecting body 210 does not need to adjust the inclination angle, after the gasket 300 is mounted, the connecting body 210 cannot rotate around the first axis 800 because the gasket 300 abuts against the connecting part 214, so that the connecting body 210 is not easy to incline due to the action of external force.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 110 is arcuate, and the connecting body 210 is also rotatable relative to the valve body 100 about the second axis 900 to enable the connecting body 210 to rotate relative to the valve body 100; wherein the second axis 900 passes through the arc center of the mounting cavity 110 and is perpendicular to the plane of the mounting opening 112. When the orientation of the nozzle of the shower 700 needs to be adjusted, the limitation of the adjusting element 220 on the connecting body 210 is firstly removed, then the connecting body 210 is operated to rotate around the second axis 900, so as to change the orientation of the nozzle, and when the adjustment of the orientation of the nozzle is completed, the adjusting element 220 is operated to adjust and fix the inclination angle of the connecting body 210, so as to complete the adjustment of the inclination angle of the shower 700. Thus, as the installation cavity 110 is set to be of an arc-shaped structure, the connection body 210 can be inclined relative to the valve body 100 to drive the shower pipe 700 to incline, and the connection body 210 can also rotate, so that the nozzle orientation of the shower pipe 700 is changed.

Specifically, in fig. 1, the first axis 800 and the second axis 900 both pass through the arc center of the mounting cavity 110, and the second axis 900 is also perpendicular to the end surface of the valve body where the mounting opening 112 is located.

When the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 needs to be adjusted in any direction, since the mounting cavity 110 has an arc structure, the adjusting bolt capable of adjusting the inclination direction can be kept still, then the rest of the adjusting bolts are rotated to be screwed out of the adjusting screw holes 130, so that the limitation of the rest of the adjusting bolts on the connecting body 210 is removed, and then the adjusting bolts kept still are rotated to be screwed into the adjusting screw holes 130, so that the adjusting bolts press the connecting body 210 to incline in the inclination direction. When the adjustment of the inclination angle of the shower pipe 700 is completed, the rest of the adjusting bolts are rotated to be gradually screwed into the adjusting bolt holes 130 until the rest of the adjusting bolts abut against the connecting body 210, thereby completing the adjustment and fixation of the inclination angle of the connecting body 210. In this manner, the inclination angle of the connecting body 210 can be adjusted and fixed in any direction by the mutual engagement of the plurality of adjusting members 220.
