Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of faucets, and in particular to a novel faucet assembly for dispensing hot and cold water. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and has water-saving effects. As we all know, our lives are inseparable from water, which means that people need to come into contact with various faucets and valves. Faucets are updated very quickly, from the old-fashioned cast iron process to electroplated knob type, and then to stainless steel single-temperature single-control faucets, stainless steel dual-temperature dual-control faucets, and semi-automatic kitchen faucets. Nowadays, more and more consumers consider factors such as material, function, and shape when purchasing faucets. Among them, hot and cold water faucets cleverly achieve the ratio of hot and cold water through their internal valve core.

[0003] In general, the valve core of a hot and cold water faucet consists of three holes. Two holes are used for cold water inlet and outlet, and another hole is used for hot water inlet and outlet. The remaining hole is used for water to flow out of the faucet. The valve core rotates when the faucet is turned on or off, so the water temperature can be adjusted by changing the ratio of cold and hot water entering the faucet while keeping the water flow rate constant.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when adjusting the water temperature of a faucet, while increasing the amount of cold water entering, the amount of hot water entering is simultaneously reduced. This makes it difficult for the ratio of cold water to hot water to change evenly when the valve core rotates by the same unit angle, making it difficult for users to adjust the faucet water temperature to the most suitable operating temperature. Utility Model Content

[0005] To make it easier for users to adjust the water temperature from the faucet to the most suitable operating temperature, this application provides a novel faucet assembly for adjusting hot and cold water.

[0006] The novel hot and cold water faucet assembly provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel hot and cold water faucet assembly includes a main body and two sets of regulating components. The main body has an outlet, a cold water outlet, and a hot water outlet. The cold water outlet and the outlet are connected, and the hot water outlet and the outlet are also connected. Both sets of regulating components are located on the main body and are used to regulate the water flow. The outlet end of one regulating component is connected to the cold water outlet, and the inlet end of the regulating component is connected to the cold water pipe. The outlet end of the other regulating component is connected to the hot water outlet, and the inlet end of the regulating component is connected to the hot water pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water temperature of the faucet needs to be adjusted, the inlet flow of the two sets of adjustment components is adjusted separately, thereby changing the cold water inlet flow and the hot water inlet flow. As the inlet flow of the cold and hot water inlets changes, the ratio of cold and hot water inlets changes, thus changing the outlet water temperature. When the outlet water temperature is too high or too low, the two adjustment components adjust the cold water inlet flow or the hot water inlet flow separately, thereby achieving the adjustment of the outlet water temperature by individually changing the cold or hot water inlet flow. This makes it easier for users to adjust the faucet water temperature to the most suitable operating temperature. This improves the problem that when adjusting the faucet water temperature, increasing the cold water inlet flow while simultaneously reducing the hot water inlet flow can lead to inconsistent changes in the cold and hot water inlet ratios when the valve core rotates by the same unit angle, making it difficult for users to adjust the faucet water temperature to the most suitable operating temperature.

[0009] Optionally, the water outlet body is provided with a water outlet channel, which is connected to the water outlet, and the water outlet channel is arranged in an arc-shaped bend.

[0010] Optionally, a filter screen is fixedly installed in the water outlet.

[0011] Optionally, the water outlet body includes a main body and a water outlet, which are fixedly connected. The main body has two first water inlets and two second water inlets. One of the first water inlets is connected to a cold water pipe at one end and to the water inlet of an adjusting component at the other end. Another of the first water inlets is connected to a hot water pipe at one end and to the water inlet of another adjusting component at the other end. One of the second water inlets is connected to the water outlet of an adjusting component at one end and to a cold water outlet at the other end.

[0012] Optionally, the regulating assembly includes an regulating seat, a regulating valve core, a regulating valve body, and a regulating handle. The regulating seat is fixedly mounted on the water outlet body. The regulating valve core is rotatably mounted on the regulating seat and has a regulating block fixedly mounted on it. The regulating valve body is fixedly mounted on the regulating seat and has a through-hole regulating port that is connected to a cold water pipe. The regulating handle is rotatably mounted on the regulating seat and is fixedly connected to the regulating valve core. When the regulating valve core rotates, the regulating port closes.

[0013] Optionally, the regulating seat includes a seat body and a valve body, which are fixedly connected and form a water outlet cavity. The water outlet cavity is connected to the cold water port. The regulating valve body is fixedly disposed on the valve body, and the valve body has a through-hole water outlet groove that is connected to the water outlet cavity. When the regulating port is opened, the regulating port is connected to the water outlet groove.

[0014] The adjustment assembly also includes a first sealing ring, which is fixedly disposed on the valve body. One end of the first sealing ring abuts against the valve body, and the other end of the first sealing ring abuts against the water outlet body.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the first sealing ring makes it difficult for water to penetrate into the water outlet chamber from the contact position between the valve body and the water outlet body when water enters the valve body. This makes the regulating component better at regulating the water inlet volume and improves usability.

[0016] Optionally, the adjusting assembly further includes a second sealing ring, which is fixedly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body and abuts against the seat.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the second sealing ring makes it difficult for water to seep out of the regulating component from the connection between the seat and the valve body when water enters or leaves the water chamber, thereby making the regulating component more airtight and improving its usability.

[0018] Optionally, the regulating assembly further includes a plurality of third sealing rings, each of which is fixedly disposed on the regulating valve core and abuts against the valve body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the third sealing ring makes it difficult for water to seep out of the regulating component from the connection between the regulating valve core and the valve body when water enters or leaves the water chamber. This makes the regulating component more airtight and improves its usability.

[0020] Optionally, the adjustment assembly further includes a fixing nut, which is threaded onto the outer circumferential surface of the adjustment seat and abuts against the water outlet body for fixation.

[0021] Optionally, the main body is fixedly provided with two waterproof rings, one of which is located between the cold water pipe and the main body, and the other of which is located between the hot water pipe and the main body.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. When the faucet water temperature needs to be adjusted, the water inlet flow of the two sets of adjustment components is adjusted separately, thereby changing the amount of cold water entering through the cold water inlet and the amount of hot water entering through the hot water inlet. As the water inlet flow changes, the ratio of cold to hot water changes, thus changing the outlet water temperature. When the outlet water temperature is too high or too low, the two adjustment components are used to adjust the cold water inlet flow or the hot water inlet flow separately. This allows the outlet water temperature to be adjusted by changing the cold water or hot water inlet flow individually, making it easier for users to adjust the faucet water temperature to the most suitable operating temperature. This improves the problem that when adjusting the faucet water temperature, increasing the cold water inlet flow while simultaneously reducing the hot water inlet flow can lead to inconsistent changes in the cold and hot water inlet ratios when the valve core rotates by the same unit angle, making it difficult for users to adjust the faucet water temperature to the most suitable operating temperature.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a novel faucet assembly for dispensing hot and cold water. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A novel hot and cold water faucet assembly includes a water outlet body 1 and two sets of adjustment components 2. Both sets of adjustment components 2 are located on the water outlet body 1 and are symmetrically distributed along the center surface of the water outlet body 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The main body 1 has an outlet 11, a cold water outlet 12 and a hot water outlet 13. The cold water outlet 12 is connected to the outlet 11, and the hot water outlet 13 is connected to the outlet 11. The main body 1 includes a main body 14 and an outlet 15. The main body 14 has an oblong cross section, and the outlet 15 is fixedly connected to the middle position on one side of the main body 14.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main body 14 has two first water inlets 141 and two second water inlets 142. The two first water inlets 141 and the two second water inlets 142 are arranged in parallel. The two first water inlets 141 are symmetrically distributed along the middle surface of the water outlet 15, and the two second water inlets 142 are symmetrically distributed along the middle surface of the water outlet 15. One end of the first water inlet 141 near the middle of the water outlet 15 is connected to the cold water pipe, and the other end of the first water inlet 141 near the middle of the water outlet 15 is connected to the hot water pipe. One end of the second water inlet 142 near the middle of the water outlet 15 is connected to the cold water outlet 12, and the other end of the second water inlet 142 near the middle of the water outlet 15 is connected to the hot water outlet 13.

[0038] This changes the installation method of faucets from a two-legged installation mode to a single-legged installation mode, making faucet installation simpler and more convenient.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 The top of the water outlet 15 is fixedly provided with a water outlet channel 151, which is connected to the water outlet 11. The water outlet channel 151 is curved in an arc shape, so that when the faucet is running, the water falls freely along the water outlet channel 151, thereby reducing the air bubble content in the water outlet and making the water flow from the faucet smoother, resulting in a better user experience.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 A filter screen 152 is fixedly installed in the water outlet 151 to break up the air bubbles contained in the water flowing into the water outlet 151, thereby further reducing the air bubble content in the water flowing into the water outlet 151 and further improving the user experience of the faucet.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating component 2 includes an regulating seat 21, which is fixedly installed on the water outlet body 1. The regulating seat 21 includes a seat body 211 and a valve body 212. The seat body 211 is fixedly installed on the body 14 and is hollow in the middle. The valve body 212 passes through the middle position of the seat body 211 and is fixedly connected to the seat body 211. The gap between the seat body 211 and the valve body 212 forms a water outlet cavity 213. The two water outlet cavities 213 are respectively connected to the two second water inlets 142, so that one water outlet cavity 213 is connected to the cold water outlet 12 and the other water outlet cavity 213 is connected to the hot water outlet 13.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating assembly 2 also includes a regulating valve core 22, which is rotatably disposed in the middle of the valve body 212. The regulating valve core 22 includes a rotating part 221, a sealing part 222, and a valve core part 223. The rotating part 221 is rotatably disposed at the top of the valve body 212, and a rotating protrusion 2211 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the rotating part 221. The sealing part 222 is rotatably disposed in the middle of the valve body 212, and a rotating groove 2221 is formed on the side of the sealing part 222 near the rotating part 221. The rotating protrusion 2211 passes through and engages with the sealing part 222. The valve core 223 is rotatably mounted on the valve body 212 and located at the bottom of the sealing part 222. A sealing groove 2231 is provided on the side of the valve core 223 near the sealing part 222. The sealing protrusion 2222 passes through and engages with the sealing groove 2231, so that when the rotating part 221 rotates, the rotating part 221 drives the sealing part 222 to rotate, and the rotation of the sealing part 222 drives the valve core 223 to rotate.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating assembly 2 also includes a regulating valve body 23 and a regulating handle 24. The regulating valve body 23 is fixedly installed on the valve body part 212 and located at the bottom of the valve core part 223. The regulating valve body 23 has a through regulating port 231, and the two regulating ports 231 are respectively connected to the two first water inlet channels 141, so that one regulating port 231 is connected to the cold water pipe and the other regulating port 231 is connected to the hot water pipe. The valve body part 212 has a through water outlet groove 2121, and the water outlet groove 2121 is connected to the water outlet chamber 213. The valve core 223 is fixedly provided with an adjusting block 2232 for sealing the adjusting port 231 on the side near the valve body 212. When the adjusting port 231 is open, the adjusting port 231 and the water outlet trough 2121 are connected, so that the adjusting block 2232 can adjust the water inflow by controlling the sealing degree of the adjusting port 231. The adjusting handle 24 is rotatably disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the seat 211. The adjusting handle 24 is locked and fixed with the rotating part 221, so that the adjusting handle 24 rotates and the rotating part 221 rotates.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating component 2 also includes a first sealing ring 25, which is fixedly disposed on the valve body 212. One end of the first sealing ring 25 abuts against the regulating valve body 23, and the other end of the first sealing ring 25 abuts against the main body 14. This makes it difficult for water to penetrate into the outlet chamber 213 from the abutment position between the valve body 212 and the main body 14 when water enters the valve body 212, thereby making the regulating component 2 better at regulating the water inlet.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating component 2 also includes a second sealing ring 26, which is fixedly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 212 and abuts against the seat 211. This makes it difficult for water to seep out of the regulating component 2 from the connection between the seat 211 and the valve body 212 when water enters or leaves the water outlet chamber 213, thus making the regulating component 2 more airtight for water.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The regulating component 2 also includes two third sealing rings 27. Both third sealing rings 27 are fixedly disposed on the sealing part 222 and abut against the valve body part 212, so that when water enters or leaves the water outlet chamber 213, it is not easy to seep out of the regulating component 2 from the connection position between the regulating valve core 22 and the valve body part 212, thereby making the regulating component 2 more airtight for water.

[0047] Reference Figure 6, Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The adjustment component 2 also includes a fixing nut 28, which is threaded to the outer peripheral surface of the seat 211 and abuts against the water outlet 15 to fix it, thereby fixing the seat 211 to the water outlet body 1.

[0048] Reference Figure 9 Two waterproof rings 29 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the main water outlet 1.

[0049] The implementation principle of a novel hot and cold water faucet assembly according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When the water temperature at the faucet outlet needs to be adjusted, the inlet flow of the two sets of adjustment components 2 is adjusted respectively, thereby changing the cold water inlet 12 and the hot water inlet 13. As the inlet flow of the cold water inlet 12 and the hot water inlet 13 changes, the ratio of cold water to hot water inlet changes, thereby changing the outlet water temperature at the outlet 11. When the outlet water temperature at the outlet 11 is too high or too low, the two adjustment components 2 respectively adjust the water temperature at the outlet 11. The flow rate of cold or hot water can be adjusted to regulate the water temperature at outlet 11 by changing the flow rate of either cold or hot water. This makes it easier for users to adjust the water temperature at the faucet to the most suitable operating temperature. This improves the problem that when adjusting the water temperature at the faucet, increasing the flow rate of cold water simultaneously reduces the flow rate of hot water, which makes it difficult for the flow rate of cold and hot water to be the same for the same unit angle of valve core rotation, thus making it difficult for users to adjust the water temperature at the most suitable operating temperature.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
