It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are used only to explain the present utility model rather than limit the present utility model. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1 - 10   , a preferred embodiment of the present utility model provides a shower head hanger, including a hanging seat  1 , a connection rod  3  connected with an end of the hanging seat  1  and a cover body  4  disposed at the other end of the connection rod  3 . A shower head  2  is disposed at the other end of the hanging seat  1 , the connection rod  3  is connected to a wall, and the cover body  4  is connected with the connection rod  3  and covers a defect on the wall. 
     In existing common shower head holders, the shower head  2  is typically connected via a hose of the shower head  2  and then inserted into a shower head holder through a flared joint of the shower head hose. The shower head holder is then fixedly locked on a wall. In this case, the shower head  2  can be hung on the wall only through the shower head hose. In the present utility model, a first magnetic attracting portion  11  is disposed at an end of the hanging seat  1  close to the shower head  2 , a second magnetic attracting portion  21  corresponding to the first attracting portion  11  is disposed inside the shower head  2 , the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are magnetically attracted with each other to enable the shower head  2  to be directly hung on the hanging seat  2 , and the hanging seat  1  is hung on a wall through the connection rod  3 . In this way, the shower head  2  can be hung on the wall. 
     The first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  have different magnetic poles such that the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are attracted with each other. 
     A magnet is disposed inside the first magnetic attracting portion  11 , an iron piece is disposed inside the second magnetic attracting portion  21 , and the magnet and the iron piece are attracted with each other. In this case, the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are attracted with each other to enable the shower head  2  to be magnetically attracted to the hanging seat  1 . 
     An iron piece is disposed inside the first magnetic attracting portion  11 , a magnet is disposed inside the second magnetic attracting portion  21 , and the iron piece and the magnet are attracted with each other. In this case, the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are attracted with each other to enable the shower head  2  to be magnetically attracted to the hanging seat  1 . 
     The second magnetic attracting portion  21  is disposed at a side of a body of the shower head  2  away from a water spraying cover of the shower head  2 . The body of the shower head  2  has a second magnetic attracting cavity in which the second magnetic attracting portion  21  is received. The hanging seat  1  has a first magnetic attracting cavity in which the first magnetic attracting portion  11  is received. When the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are magnets having different magnetic poles, the magnets may be wrapped with one layer of plastic piece. In this case, the magnetisms of the magnets need to be strong enough to ensure the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  are attracted with each other. When the second magnetic attracting portion  21  and the first magnetic attracting portion  11  are a magnet and an iron piece, respectively, the iron piece is not externally wrapped with plastic but zinc-plated to ensure a magnetic force between the second magnetic attracting portion  21  and the first magnetic attracting portion  11 . In other embodiments, a rubber portion  12  is disposed on surfaces of mutually-attached sides of the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21 . The rubber portions  12  may fully cover the surfaces of the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  or one or more through holes  13  are opened on the rubber portions  12  to increase a magnetic force between the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  through exposure of the through holes  13 . Further, the rubber portions  12  may protect the surfaces of the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  and may also prevent the first magnetic attracting portion  11  and the second magnetic attracting portion  21  from falling out of the first magnetic attracting cavity and the second magnetic attracting cavity due to unbalanced forces of each side. 
     The shape of the second magnetic attracting portion  21  may be a circular shape, a square shape or an irregular shape. The shape of the first magnetic attracting portion  11  is consistent with the shape of the second magnetic attracting portion  21 . Further, the shape of the second magnetic attracting portion  21  is consistent with the shape of the body of the shower head  2 . Thus, the shapes of the shower head  2  and the hanging seat  1  match and are aesthetically pleasing. 
     A ball-shaped cavity is disposed at an end of the hanging seat opposite the first magnetic attracting portion  11 , and a ball body  33  is disposed at an end of the connection rod  3  adjacent to the hanging seat  1 . The ball body  33  is received in the ball-shaped cavity such that the hanging seat  1  can swing arbitrarily around the ball body  33  and thus the shower head  2  can swing arbitrarily along the hanging seat  1 . 
     With reference to  FIGS.  1 - 5   , in the first embodiment, the connection rod  3  includes a water flowing channel, an end of the connection rod  3  close to the hanging seat  1  is connected with a connection piece  31 , a water flowing opening  32  in communication with the water flowing channel is opened on the connection piece  31 , the ball body  33  is disposed at an end of the connection piece  31  close to the hanging seat  1 , and the ball body  33  and the water flowing channel are isolated. A connection portion is disposed at an end of the connection rod  3  away from the hanging seat  1 , and the connection portion is fixedly communicated with a water supply pipe in a wall. The cover body  4  has a through hole and hence is sleeved on the connection rod  3  through the through hole to cover an unaesthetic part between the connection portion and the wall. The water flowing opening  32  is in communication with the shower head  2  through a water flowing hose, such that water can flow from the water supply pipe in the wall to the water flowing channel and then from the water flowing opening  32  to the water flowing hose and then to the shower head  2 . 
     With reference to  FIGS.  6 - 10   , in the second embodiment, a first connection position is disposed at an end of the connection rod  3  away from the ball body  33 , a second connection position is convexly disposed at an end of the cover body  4  close to the connection rod  3 , and the first connection position and the second connection position are fixedly connected such that the connection rod  3  and the cover body  4  are connected. In this embodiment, the first connection portion is disposed as inner thread and the second connection position is disposed as outer thread. The inner thread and the outer thread are thread-connected such that the connection rod  3  and the cover body  4  are fixedly connected. An end of the cover body  4  away from the second connection position is disposed as a plane such that the cover body  4  is fixedly bonded on the wall by applying adhesive on the plane.
