[0005] S6: A circular hole corresponding to the water outlet on the faucet core is opened on the cut base to facilitate the placement of the faucet water inlet and outlet and to facilitate the fixed installation of the faucet core in the base; S7: The faucet core is fixed to the base by a nut.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the notch is used to connect with a self-tapping screw to fix the control panel to the base.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the notch is of the same length as the base and is formed synchronously; there are four notches, which are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the facing surfaces of the inner surface of the base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention simplifies the production and manufacturing process of the faucet housing, especially by stretching the aluminum or copper material as a whole to a specified length, and then cutting the stretched aluminum or copper material as needed, so that the cut multiple substrates have a uniform size, which is convenient for the installation of the relevant valve core, and the size of each substrate is uniform, so when assembled into a faucet, the overall quality of the faucet can be improved;

[0009] 2. Since the device stretches aluminum or copper to initially form the main structure of the faucet housing, and utilizes the stretching method at the same time, the inner wall of the faucet housing is made smooth and flat, thereby avoiding the problem of the valve core being worn during installation.

[0016] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment: a method for manufacturing a faucet housing, comprising the following steps: S1: preparing a mold of the shape required for the faucet housing; S2: melting aluminum or copper material and pouring it into the prepared mold for stretching; during the stretching process, the aluminum or copper material is formed into a matrix 1, and the interior of the matrix 1 has a cavity for accommodating the faucet core; specifically, Figure 1 As shown;

[0017] S3: A notch 2 for installing a panel is integrally formed inside the base 1; Figure 1 As shown;

[0018] S3: See Figure 2 , cutting the base 1 according to a predetermined size to meet the length or width of the faucet housing, and then Figure 2 As shown;

[0019] S5: performing grinding processing on the cutting surface, for example, removing burrs on the cutting surface;

[0020] S6: A circular hole 3 corresponding to the water outlet on the faucet core is opened on the cut base 1 to facilitate the placement of the faucet water inlet and outlet, and thus facilitate the faucet core to be fixedly installed in the base 1; S7: The faucet core is fixed to the base 1 by a nut; Figure 3 shown.

[0021] Furthermore, the notch 2 is used to connect with a self-tapping screw to fix the control panel 4 to the base 1. Since the main body of the device is made of aluminum or copper, it is convenient to fix the control panel 4 to the base 1 with the self-tapping screw.

[0022] Furthermore, the slots 2 are of the same length as the base 1 and are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the facing surfaces of the inner surface of the base 1, so that the control panel 4 can be stably fixed on the base 1. At the same time, the setting of the slots 2, on the one hand, does not require reserved bolt holes on the base 1, and on the other hand, the method and manner of making the slots 2 are simpler than that of making bolt holes.
