[0029] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0030] Certain directional terms used hereinafter to describe the drawings, such as "inner", "outer", "above", "below" and other directional terms, will be understood to have their normal meanings and refer to those directions involved when normally viewing the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the directional terms described in this specification are basically in the conventional directions understood by those skilled in the art.

[0031] The terms "first", "the first", "second", "the second" and their similar terms used in the present invention do not represent any order, quantity or importance in the present invention, but are used to distinguish one component from other components.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 - 10 , an embedded box structure 100 buried in a wall, comprising: a fixed seat 1, the fixed seat 1 being fixedly connected to the wall, and the fixed seat 1 further comprising a first mounting component 11; a flow dividing seat 2, the flow dividing seat 2 comprising a housing 21 and a flow dividing device disposed within the housing 21, and a second mounting component 211 adapted to be mounted to the first mounting component 11 being provided on the housing 21; the first mounting component 11 defining a plurality of mounting positions, the second mounting component 211 being selectively fixedly connectable to the plurality of mounting positions, and the mounting positions being spaced along the height direction 300 of the fixed seat 1.

[0033] When the embedded box structure 100 is in use, first install the fixing base 1 in the installation groove 200 with a certain depth that has been pre - opened in the wall. The fixing base 1 is fixed on the wall by 4 expansion screws 13. Then, insert the shunt base 2 into the fixing base 1 along the height direction 300. Select different installation positions according to the depth of the installation groove 200. The shell 21 can be adjusted to be flush with the wall surface, so as to avoid the shunt base 2 protruding from the wall surface and being cut. When the depth of the opened installation groove 200 is relatively shallow and the height of the fixing base 1 is greater than the depth of the installation groove 200, the shunt base 2 and the fixing base 1 need to be slightly cut to ensure that the shell 21 is flush with the wall surface.

[0034] The fixing base 1 is sleeved outside the shell 21. The first installation component 11 includes an extension channel 111 opened on the fixing base 1 and extending along the height direction 300, and a plurality of accommodation grooves 112 communicating with the extension channel 111 and extending along the moving direction 400 intersecting with the height direction 300. The accommodation grooves 112 are arranged at intervals along the extension channel 111. In this embodiment, the height direction 300 is perpendicular to the moving direction 400.

[0035] The second installation component 211 is a convex block protruding from the shell 21. The convex block enters the extension channel 111 along the height direction 300 and selects one of the accommodation grooves 112. The convex block moves into the accommodation groove 112 along the moving direction 400. The plurality of accommodation grooves 112 define a plurality of installation positions. When the convex block enters the extension channel 111, the shell 21 rotates along the moving direction 400 to make the convex block move into the accommodation groove 112.

[0036] In this embodiment, it includes four first installation components 11 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the fixing base 1 and four second installation components 211 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the shunt base 2. The first installation component 11 and the second installation component 211 are in corresponding positions when assembled.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first installation component 11 has five accommodation grooves 112, that is, the embedded box structure 100 has five installation positions.

[0038] The shunt device includes a seat body 221 connected to the shell 21 and a valve element 222 arranged on the seat body 221. The seat body 221 is provided with a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel. The valve element 222 connects the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel. The valve element 222 can be a balance valve, a flow valve or a thermostatic valve.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of installation channels 2212 are provided on the base body 221, specifically 4. The entrances of the installation channels 2212 are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the base body 221, and the exits of the installation channels 2212 are arranged on the side of the base body 221 facing the wall. The installation channels 2212 can be connected to the water inlet channels or the water outlet channels, and can be selected according to different water circuit layouts in the external environment.

[0040] The installation channels 2212 can be selected to set different combinations of the number of the water inlet channels and the water outlet channels according to different valve elements 222. For example, when using a thermostatic valve, two of the installation channels 2212 can be selected to be connected to the water inlet channels, and one of the installation channels 2212 can be selected to be connected to the water outlet channel.

[0041] An extended communication groove 12 is further provided on the fixed base 1. The communication groove 12 is configured to correspond to the entrances of the installation channels 2212 when the shunt base 2 is in a plurality of the installation positions. Specifically, the communication groove 12 is provided between the two first installation components 11 and extends from the top of the fixed base 1 to the bottom along the height direction 300. Specifically, because there are 4 installation channels 2212, 4 corresponding communication grooves 12 are provided.

[0042] The base body 221 has positioning bosses 2211 arranged at intervals, and the fixed base 1 has positioning grooves 212 corresponding to the positioning bosses 2211. The base body 221 is inserted into the fixed base 1 along the height direction 300, and the positioning bosses 2211 abut against the positioning grooves 212, and the base body 221 stops moving.

[0043] The embedded box structure 100 further includes a water inlet joint group 3 connected to the base body 221. The water inlet joint group 3 defines the water inlet channels and the water outlet channels. The water inlet joint group 3 includes a first water inlet joint 31, a second water inlet joint 32, and a third water inlet joint 33. Since the entrances of the installation channels 2212 are arranged on the periphery of the base body 221 and the exits of the installation channels 2212 are arranged on the side of the base body 221 facing the wall, the installation channels 2212 have an "L"-shaped water circuit structure.

[0044] When the positioning boss 2211 of the seat body 221 abuts against the positioning groove 212, the second water inlet joint 32 is inserted into the installation channel 2212 from the inlet, and then the first water inlet joint 31 is inserted into the installation channel 2212 from the outlet. Finally, the third water inlet joint 33 is inserted into the installation channel 2212 from the inlet, and the second water inlet joint 32 is fixedly connected to the first water inlet joint 31 and the third water inlet joint 33 respectively. The first water inlet joint 31 is used to communicate with the valve element 222, and the third water inlet joint 33 is used to communicate with an external water source.

[0045] When the valve element 222 is not assembled to the seat body 221, and to prevent dust from entering the seat body 221, the shunt device can replace the valve element 222 with a protective cover assembly 223. The protective cover assembly 223 connects the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel, so that water can flow from the water inlet channel into the water outlet channel.

[0046] The protective cover assembly 223 includes a protective seat 2231 and a protective cover 2232. The protective seat 2231 is fixedly connected to the seat body 221 and has a water inlet hole for the first water inlet joint 31 to extend into. A sealing member is provided between the first water inlet joint 31 and the water inlet hole. The protective cover 2232 covers the protective seat 2231. A water passing space is defined between the protective seat 2231 and the protective cover 2232. Water enters the water passing space from the water inlet channel and then flows into the water outlet channel. The protective cover assembly 223 further includes a sealing ring 2233 provided between the protective seat 2231 and the protective cover 2232, which is used to prevent water from leaking out of the water passing space.

[0047] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, making non-substantive modifications to the present invention using this concept, shall fall within the scope of infringement of the present invention.
