Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a fixing structure, and more particularly to a fixing structure for a flushing device.
- There are a variety of flushing devices on the market, wherein the most commonly used devices are sanitary equipment with flushing heads and water supply pipes, such as sprinklers, shower heads, and cleaner spray guns.
- It is known that the abovementioned sanitary equipment adopts the design with a fixed seat which has an opening formed on the top to be mounted by a guiding connection part. While using the flushing devices, a user has to align the guiding connection part to the opening, and then exert a force on the guiding connection part to make the guiding connection part fitted in the opening, so that the guiding connection part is fixed to the fixed seat. Thus, the flushing devices can be fixed on the wall and other planes.
- However, when using the fixed seat mentioned above, a user has to ensure that the guiding connection part is embedded into the opening, and the deviation of their relative positions would not be excessive. In this situation, if the user is unable to see (e.g., the user is blind, with amblyopia, or the visual field is covered when taking a shower), it would not be easy for the user to fit the guiding connection part of the sprinkler, the shower head, or the cleaner spray gun into the fixed seat. Moreover, the protruding part of the opening of the fixed seat could be fractured or deformed by long-term repeated force, which makes the fixed seat lose the function of fixing. The above defects increase the difficulty of using the flushing devices.
- From the above, the design of the conventional fixing structure, which makes a user must visually align before positioning and fixing the fixing structure, needs to be improved.
- In view of the above, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a fixing structure making a flushing device such as a sprinkler, a shower head, or a cleaner spray gun be fixed on a fixed seat easily, wherein a user doesn't have to exert a force and align the guiding connection part to the opening.
- The present invention provides a fixing structure for flushing devices, which includes a fixed seat, a guiding connection part, a first magnetic part, and a second magnetic part. The fixed seat has two ends which are opposite to each other, wherein one of the two ends is fixed to a fixed plane, while the other of the two ends has a recess; the fixed seat further comprises a first magnetic part provided on the recess. A common flushing device includes a guiding connection part and a flushing head. An end of the guiding connection part is connected to the flushing head, while another end of the guiding connection part is connected to a water supply pipe, which makes the water supply pipe communicate with the flushing head so that the flushing head can be controlled to make water flow out. The second magnetic part is provided on the guiding connection part; when the guiding connection part is close to the recess of the fixed seat, the second magnetic part and the first magnetic part can magnetically attract each other. One of the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part is a magnet, while the other of the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part is a magnetic material or another magnet.
- The present invention adopts a different joining method from the conventional fixing structure, and provides a larger joint range and positioning space, which increases the convenience of use.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 10 , the first embodiment of the present invention, a fixing structure, is provided. - The fixing structure includes a fixed
seat 10, a guidingconnection part 20, a flushinghead 30, awater supply pipe 40, a firstmagnetic part 12, and a secondmagnetic part 14. The guidingconnection part 20 has two ends which are opposite to each other, wherein one of the two ends is connected to the flushinghead 30, while the other end is connected to thewater supply pipe 40, so that the flushinghead 30 communicates with thewater supply pipe 40 to form aliquid flow path 50. Thus, the flushinghead 30 can be controlled by a user to make water flow out. Thefixed seat 10 is fixed on a plane, and the firstmagnetic part 12 is installed on thefixed seat 10, while the secondmagnetic part 14 is installed on the guidingconnection part 20. When the guidingconnection part 20 is close to thefixed seat 10, the firstmagnetic part 12 and the secondmagnetic part 14 will attract each other with magnetic force. Furthermore, one of the firstmagnetic part 12 and the secondmagnetic part 14 is a magnet, while the other one is a magnetic material or another magnet; the materials of the firstmagnetic part 12 and the secondmagnetic part 14 are interchangeable. - In this embodiment, the
fixed seat 10 has two ends opposite to each other, wherein one of the two ends is provided on a fixed plane S, while the other one has arecess 10a. The firstmagnetic part 12 is installed on therecess 10a of thefixed seat 10. - Specifically, in this embodiment, the first
magnetic part 12 is provided in thefixed seat 10 and on a side adjacent to therecess 10a. Furthermore, the fixedseat 10 includes acover 12a, anaccommodating space 12c, and a magnetic material ormagnet 12b provided in theaccommodating space 12c, wherein the magnetic material can be a magnetic tile, and themagnetic tile 12b is close to therecess 10a. In this embodiment, thecover 12a is a magnetic tile fixed seat for an explanatory purpose, but is not limited to the magnetic tile fixed seat. The magnetic tile fixedseat 12a is stuffed into theaccommodating space 12c so that themagnetic tile 12b is fixedly provided in theaccommodating space 12c. - In this embodiment, the
magnetic tile 12b is a tile-shaped magnet, and the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a is stuffed into theaccommodating space 12c and closely fitted toward the direction of therecess 10a, so that themagnetic tile 12b within theaccommodating space 12c can be fixed between the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a and therecess 10a. In order to closely connect the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a and therecess 10a of thefixed seat 10, as well as to reduce the distance between the firstmagnetic part 12 and the secondmagnetic part 14, in this embodiment, each of theaccommodating space 12c (i.e., interior of thefixed seat 10 close to therecess 10a) and a side of the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a facing the recess has ashallow groove 16. After the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a moves to the end toward the direction of therecess 10a in theaccommodating space 12c, themagnetic tile 12b is sandwiched in between the twoshallow grooves 16, as shown inFIG. 5 andFIG. 6 . Moreover, the guidingconnection part 20 is a conical round tube, and the outer diameter of the guiding connection part is reduced from an end connecting the flushinghead 30 to an end connecting thewater supply pipe 40. In addition,FIG. 6 is a perspective upward view of partial of the first embodiment, which is embodied by an embedded way; therecess 10a, the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a, and themagnetic tile 12b are exploded. Themagnetic tile 12b has a curved surface in touch with therecess 10a and the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a, wherein the curvature of the surfaces of therecess 10a and the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a, which are in touch with the curved surface of themagnetic tile 12b, is consistent with the curvature of the curved surface of themagnetic tile 12b. Moreover, the curvature of the surface of therecess 10a matches the curvature of aperipheral surface 22 of the guidingconnection part 20. - Besides, according to different conditions or needs, the materials of the
magnetic tile 12b and the secondmagnetic part 14 can be interchanged, which does not affect the function of the fixing structure. Furthermore, themagnetic tile 12b and the magnetic tile fixedseat 12a can be provided on therecess 10a outside thefixed seat 10; similarly, theaccommodating space 12c can be formed on therecess 10a outside thefixed seat 10. - The material of the second
magnetic part 14 is a magnetic material which includes iron, cobalt, nickel, magnetic stainless steel, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the magnetic material could be a permanent magnet. Said magnetic stainless steel mainly includes models 304, 410, and 430, etc., which have higher chromium content; furthermore, the models generate magnetism due to state changes during heat treatment, processing, or smelting. The secondmagnetic part 14 is provided on the guidingconnection part 20. Thus, when the guidingconnection part 20 is close to therecess 10a of thefixed seat 10, the firstmagnetic part 12 and the secondmagnetic part 14 can attract each other by magnetic force, which fixes the guidingconnection part 20 to thefixed seat 10 detachably so that the flushing device can be fixed to thefixed seat 10. - In the embodiment above, the guiding
connection part 20 has aninner surface 24 facing theliquid flow path 50, and theperipheral surface 22 which is opposite to theinner surface 24 and in touch with thefixed seat 10 directly. In this embodiment, the secondmagnetic part 14 completely covers theperipheral surface 22 of the guidingconnection part 20 by injection molding, welding, or other methods. With this design, the area of the secondmagnetic part 14 can be increased substantially, which increases the range of magnetic attraction. In addition, the appearance of themagnetic tile 12b could be changed, for example, replacing the magnetic material or the magnet from tile shape to arc shape matching with therecess 10a can also achieve the effect of expanding the range of magnetic attraction. In addition, the secondmagnetic part 14 of the first embodiment covers the guidingconnection part 20 in a non-detachable way; however, in other embodiments, the secondmagnetic part 14 can be detachably installed on theguiding connection part 20. The descriptions of other embodiments are as follows. - As shown in
FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 , the secondmagnetic part 14 of a second embodiment inFIG. 7 is a conically annular body which fits around theperipheral surface 22 of the guiding connection part. With this design, the guiding connection part is more diverse in appearance, and it is easier for users to identify the position and range of action of the magnetic components. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , the secondmagnetic part 14 of a third embodiment is ring-shaped and is detachably connected to the bottom perimeter of the guidingconnection part 20 by tightly fitting with threads or tolerance. Therefore, product diversity could be increased. For example, the secondmagnetic part 14 and firstmagnetic part 12 can be made into optional parts for consumers, so that consumers can purchase the magnetic components separately, and install them to flushing devices which are previously purchased or have no any magnetic components thereon. - Additionally, as shown in
FIG. 9 , theperipheral surface 22 of the guiding connection part of a fourth embodiment has at least onenotch 26. At least one secondmagnetic part 14 is embedded in the at least onenotch 26 on theperipheral surface 22 of the guiding connection part. If the manufacturer would like to increase the number of the secondmagnetic part 14 or the position of magnetic action, the manufacturer can shape a plurality ofnotches 26 on theperipheral surface 22 of the guiding connection part, and then embeds a plurality of secondmagnetic parts 14 into thenotches 26 on theperipheral surface 22 of the guiding connection part. With this design, the guiding connection part can directly approach the fixed seat without rotating to a specific position and be magnetically fixed. - Furthermore, as shown in
FIG. 10 , the secondmagnetic part 14 of a fifth embodiment is fixed on aninner surface 24 of the guiding connection part. Thus, the secondmagnetic part 14 is hidden inside the guidingconnection part 20, which makes the overall appearance of the flushing device more neat. Additionally, this design can prevent the magnet or the magnetic components from directly damaged by external force, and reduce the possibility of being rusted by contacting with moisture. - Moreover, the fixing structure of the present invention can be applied to flushing devices including sprinklers, shower heads, spray guns, or combinations thereof, which are commonly used in life.
- With the design of the present invention that changes the fixing method of the fixing structure from manual fixing to magnetic fixing, a user can fix the flushing device such as a sprinkler, a shower head, or a cleaner spray gun to the fixed seat easily without exerting a force or visually aligning. Compared with the conventional fixing structure, the present invention has a larger joint range and positioning space, which increases the convenience of use.
