The structure includes a slide rod, a water inlet device, a first structural member, a second structural member and an operating member. A guide portion is arranged on the slide rod, and the water inlet device is mounted on the slide rod. Two ends of the first structural member are pivotally fitted to the water inlet device and the second structural member respectively. The operating member is pivotally fitted to the second structural member and mounted on the slide rod through guiding fit, with its motion trajectory constrained by the guide portion. Under external force, the operating member changes its posture relative to the guide portion to undo its locked state with the guide portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shower adjustment structure, comprising a slide rod, a water inlet device, a first structural member, a second structural member, and an operating member; wherein a guide portion is provided on the slide rod; the water inlet device is mounted on the slide rod; two ends of the first structural member are pivotally fitted to the water inlet device and the second structural member respectively; the operating member is a manually operable mechanical member pivotally fitted to the second structural member and mounted on the slide rod by a guiding fit, with its motion trajectory constrained by the guide portion; and the operating member undergoes a posture change relative to the guide portion under the action of an external force to undo a locked state relative to the guide portion, wherein the locked state and unlocked state of the operating member are independent of water pressure. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 1, wherein the guide portion is a constraint structure provided with guide rails therein, a middle part of the operating member is provided with protruding portions slidably fitted in the guide rails, and the protruding portion is fitted to two side walls of the guide rail. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 1, wherein an elastic mechanism is disposed between a lower part of the operating member and a bottom wall of the guide portion, to lock the operating member when no external force is applied. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 3, wherein a surface of an upper part of the operating member facing the guide portion is provided with anti-slip strips; and the lower part of the operating member extends away from the guide portion to form an operating portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 3, wherein a surface of the lower part of the operating member facing the bottom wall of the guide portion is provided with a mounting groove, and a mounting post is provided in the mounting groove; and a movable sleeve and a spring for driving the movable sleeve to extend out of the mounting groove are slidably sleeved on the mounting post, and an end portion of the mounting post is connected with a locking piece for locking the movable sleeve. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 1, wherein at least part of the second structural member forms a water outlet panel, or the second structural member is configured to mount and communicate the water outlet device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 6, wherein a first water diversion chamber is provided in the water inlet device, a first water passage chamber is provided in the first structural member, a second water passage chamber is provided in the second structural member, and the first water diversion chamber, the first water passage chamber, and the second water passage chamber are sequentially communicated. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 7, wherein an upper end of a front side of the water inlet device is provided with a first rotary shaft portion, and the first rotary shaft portion is in communication with the first water diversion chamber; upper and lower ends of the first structural member are respectively provided with a second rotary shaft portion and a third rotary shaft portion, and the second rotary shaft portion and the third rotary shaft portion are both in communication with the first water passage chamber; a middle part of a back side of the second structural member is provided with a fourth rotary shaft portion, and an upper end of a front side of the second structural member is provided with a water outlet connector or the water outlet panel; and the first rotary shaft portion is rotatably connected with the second rotary shaft portion in a dynamic sealing manner, and the third rotary shaft portion is rotatably connected with the fourth rotary shaft portion in a dynamic sealing manner. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 7, wherein a second water diversion chamber, a water inlet chamber, and a water diversion connector are further provided in the water inlet device; the water inlet chamber is in communication with both the first water diversion chamber and the second water diversion chamber and is provided with a switching valve therein, and the switching valve is configured to control communication of the water inlet chamber with the first water diversion chamber and the second water diversion chamber; and the water diversion connector is in communication with the second water diversion chamber. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The shower adjustment structure according to claim 7, wherein the water inlet device is further provided with a water inlet port, and a nut is embedded in the water inlet port; an adapter is sleeved on the water inlet port, and a limiting sleeve for locking the adapter is threadedly fitted in the nut; and the adapter and the water inlet device are secured by a hex screw.
