  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1
  • Referring to Figs. 1-5, a slide shower comprises a fixed portion 10, a lifting and lowering rod 20 slidably connected to the fixed portion 10, a water outflowing terminal 30 assembled to the lifting and lowering rod 20, a gravity balancer 40 disposed between the fixed portion 10 and the lifting and lowering rod 20 and a faucet body 50. The water outflowing terminal 30 is, for example, a top shower.
  • The fixed portion 10 comprises an inner core 171, an upper fixed base 172 and a lower fixed base 173, and the inner core 171 is fixedly disposed between the upper fixed base 172 and the lower fixed base 173.
  • The lifting and lowering rod 20 comprises an outer sleeve 23 and a top base 24, and the outer sleeve 23 encompasses the fixed portion 10; the top base 24 comprises a connection portion 241 fixedly connected to a top of the outer sleeve 24 and a cantilever 242 fixedly connected to the connection portion 241. The water outflowing terminal 30 is assembled to an end of the cantilever 242, and the top base 24 comprises a water communication passage 243 in which one end is disposed on a bottom surface of the connection portion and another end is disposed on an end surface of the cantilever to be in communication with the water outflowing terminal.
  • The gravity balancer 40 comprises an elastic body 41, a first pull rope 42, a fixed pulley 43 and a second pull rope 44. The fixed pulley 43 is disposed on an upper part of the upper fixed base 172 and comprises a first outer diameter portion 431 and a second outer diameter portion 432 that are coaxially and fixedly connected, and an outer diameter of the first outer diameter portion 431 is greater than an outer diameter of the second outer diameter portion 432. A lower end of the elastic body 41 is fixedly connected to the lower fixed base 173, an upper end of the elastic body 41 is connected to a movable pulley 411 through a connecting frame 412, one end of the second pull rope 44 is fixedly connected to the upper fixed base 172, and another end of the second pull rope 44 wraps about the movable pulley 411 and is fixedly connected to the second outer diameter portion 432 of the fixed pulley 43. The second pull rope 44 is connected to the fixed pulley 43 to drive the fixed pulley 43 to rotate in a forward direction due to an elastic force of the elastic body 41, the elastic body is, for example, a tension spring. One end of the first pull rope 42 is connected to a bottom end of the lifting and lowering rod 20, and anther end of the first pull rope 42 is connected to the first outer diameter portion 431 of the fixed pulley 43, so that the fixed pulley 43 is driven to rotate in a reverse direction due to a gravity (e.g., a weight) of the lifting and lowering rod 20, and the forward direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise. A connection position between the first pull rope 42 and the lifting and lowering rod 20 is lower than a position of the fixed pulley 43. Wherein a function generated by a pulling force applied to the first pull rope 42 counteracts a function generated by an elastic force generated by the elastic body 41 to enable lifting and lowering driving forces of the lifting and lowering rod 20 to be constant. A detail gravity balance principle of lifting and lowering by constant force is described as follows: a gravity of a top shower lifting and lowering module (the lifting and lowering rod 20 and the water outflowing terminal 30) is applied to a large diameter wheel (the first outer diameter portion 431) of the fixed pulley 43 through the first pull rope 42 and is converted into a torque force F1 by which the large diameter wheel rotates about a center axis; a pulling force of the elastic body 41 is applied to the small diameter wheel (the second outer diameter portion 432) of the fixed pulley 43 through the movable pulley and the second pull rope 44 and is converted into a torque force F2 by which the small diameter wheel rotates about the central axis; In the gravity balancer 40, directions of the torque forces F1 and F2 are opposite, when values of the torque forces F1 and F2 are equal, the top shower lifting and lowering module reaches a balance state and is fixed at a balance position. Further, the large diameter wheel and the small diameter wheel in combination with the movable pulley is used to balance a weight of the top shower lifting and lowering module through the tension force of the tension spring, it can stop at any position, a stepless adjustment is achieved, and a height is adjustable; the large diameter wheel of the fixed pulley rotates, the small diameter wheel also rotates synchronously to wrap the second pull rope, after vertical lifting and lowering movement distance of the top shower lifting module is converted and reduced (a reduction factor is based on a ratio of radii of the large diameter wheel and the small diameter wheel, as needed, when the ratio is larger, the reduction factor is higher), the movable pulley is then pulled again, and a movement of the movable pulley is reduced. An expansion and contraction amount of the tension spring connected to the movable pulley is further half reduced due to the movable pulley. Therefore, a large lifting and lowering movement of the top shower lifting and lowering module corresponds to a small expansion and contraction amount of the spring (i.e., the tension spring), the expansion and contraction amount of the spring is small, a value variation of the force is small, the tension force and the gravity remain balanced, and affect resulting from variation of lifting and lowering height movement is small and can be basically negligible compared with an overall gravity. Therefore, it is regarded as counteracted each other and balanced, and the lifting and lowering with the constant force is achieved.
  • The fixed portion 10 comprises a water inflowing passage 11 and a first water outflowing passage 12, the first water outflowing passage 12 is in communication with the water inflowing passage 11; a second water outflowing passage 21 is disposed in the lifting and lowering rod 20, the second water outflowing passage 21 is in communication with the first water outflowing passage 12 and the water outflowing terminal 30 to transport water from the water inflowing passage of the fixed portion to the water outflowing terminal 30.
  • The fixed portion 10 is fixedly disposed on the faucet body 50 and the water inflowing passage 11 is in communication with the faucet body 50, and the water inflowing passage 11 is disposed on the lower fixed base 173.
  • An outer pipe 13 is fixedly disposed in the fixed portion 10, and two sealing plugs 131 are fixedly disposed in the outer pipe 13. A section of the outer pipe 13 between the two sealing plugs 131 comprises a first through hole 132 penetrating an inner side and an outer side. The first water outflowing passage 12 comprises the first through hole 132 and a gap between the outer pipe 13 and an inner pipe 22, and the first water outlet passage 12 further comprises a water pipe 14 configured to be in communication with the water inflowing passage 11 and the first through hole 132. The upper fixed base 172 comprises, for example, a communication passage 141 in communication with an upper end of the water pipe 14 and the first through hole 132. The inner pipe 22 configured to be in communication with the gap is fixedly disposed in the lifting and lowering rod 20. The inner pipe 22 is slidably connected to an inner side of the outer pipe 13 and two ends of the inner pipe 22 respectively extend out of two sealing plugs 131. The inner pipe 22 comprises a second through hole 221 penetrating an inner side and an outer side and disposed on a section of the outer pipe 13 between the two sealing plugs 131. A lower end of the inner pipe 22 is sealed, and an upper end of the inner pipe 22 is in communication with the water communication passage 243. The second water outflowing passage 21 comprises the inner pipe 22, the second through hole 221 and the water communication passage 243. Water passages can be in communication in the lifting and lowering structure and a hydraulic balance state can also be achieved due to the aforementioned structure. The principle is as follows: water from the faucet body flows through the lower fixed base, the water pipe, and the upper fixed base and flows into an inner cavity of the outer pipe. The upper sealing plug and the lower sealing plug (e.g., the two sealing plugs) of the inner cavity of the outer pipe are sealed with a side wall of the inner pipe, and areas of an outer side of the inner pipe subjected to water pressure are equal, and the water pressure does not work (e.g., the inner pipe will not be affected by the water pressure); the water flows through the second through hole 221 of the side wall of the inner pipe, flows into the inner pipe, and is in communication with the top shower lifting and lowering module, the top shower lifting and lowering module is subjected to an upward pushing force F3 of the water pressure, the lower end of the inner pipe is a sealed surface and is therefore subjected to a downward force F4 of the water pressure, and the inner pipe is fixed to the top shower lifting and lowering module, the upward pushing force F3 from the water pressure applied to the top shower and the downward force F4 from the water pressure applied on the sealed surface of the lower end of the inner pipe are nearly equal and counteract each other, so that the top shower lifting and lowering module reaches a hydraulic balance and will not be affected by the water pressure; when the inner pipe is in a lifting and lowering process, the first through hole remains between the upper sealing plug and the lower sealing plug of the outer pipe, the water pressure does not change during the lifting and lowering process, so that hydraulic power remains in a balanced state at any lifting and lowering position and does not affect the lifting and lowering.

An upper end of the hose 151 extends out of the fixed portion 10, is disposed in the lifting and lowering rod 20, and is in communication with the water outflowing terminal 30.
