Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a faucet. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people are pursuing higher and higher product appearance. While paying attention to functionality, they also need to consider appearance beautification and practicality. Take the plastic faucet that is often used at home as an example. The traditional structure is just to print numbers, symbols or other letters on the outer shell of the faucet for users to identify and choose, but it only has a simple identification function. In recent years, there have been significant changes. For example, the faucet is translucent and a light source is set inside the faucet. When the faucet valve is opened for use, a luminous effect can be generated on the surface. In addition to the beautification effect, it also has the function of night guidance and identification. However, under this scheme, the faucet shell can only be made completely translucent, and the parts inside the faucet that you don’t want to see will also be directly seen. In addition, the prior art has already appeared to attach a display film to the outside of the faucet shell, but in this way, the silk screen on the display film is easy to wear and scratch.

The display cover 43, the display film 42 and the light-emitting component 41 are arranged on the faucet body 1 from the outside to the inside. The display cover 43 at least partially forms the outer surface of the faucet body 1; the display film 42 is used to define the display content, and the display cover 43 includes a light-transmitting area 431 and a non-light-transmitting area 432. The light-transmitting area 431 corresponds to the display content, and the wall thickness of the light-transmitting area 431 is smaller than that of the non-light-transmitting area 432 so as to at least allow light to pass through. In this embodiment, the display cover 43 forms the upward side of the transverse portion 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the light transmittance of the light-transmitting area 431 is 15%-40%, and the light transmittance of the non-light-transmitting area 432 is 0%-10%. The display content of the display film 42 is light-transmitting, and the display film 42 includes a substrate and a semi-transmitting ink arranged on the substrate, and the semi-transmitting ink forms the non-light-transmitting part of the display film 42. The substrate of the display film 42 is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material, and the display cover plate 43 is made of PC (polycarbonate) or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) material.
