[0071] Example 1, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a split valve module, including: a temperature control valve and a water control valve.

[0072] The temperature control valve includes a first valve body 211 and a thermostatic valve core 220. One end of the first valve body is provided with a first mounting groove, and the other end of the first valve body is provided with a plurality of first mating ports, each of which is in communication with the first mounting groove. The thermostatic valve core is disposed in the first mounting groove.

[0073] A waterway control valve, comprising a second valve body 212 and an on-off valve core, wherein one end of the second valve body is provided with a second mounting groove, and the other end of the second valve body is provided with a plurality of second mating ports, the second mating ports being respectively connected to the second mounting grooves, and the on-off valve core being provided in the second mounting grooves;

[0074] The first valve body and the second valve body are connected together, the first pair of interfaces are connected to the corresponding second pair of interfaces to form a connecting channel, and the on-off valve core is used to selectively connect the corresponding connecting channels.

[0075] Specifically, for the housing 210 of the split valve module, since multiple connecting channels 2104 need to be set up inside it, in order to simplify the processing difficulty, the housing 210 adopts a split design, specifically: the housing 210 includes a first valve body 211 and a second valve body 212.

[0076] Among them, one end of the first valve body 211 is provided with a first installation groove, and the other end of the first valve body 211 is provided with a plurality of first docking ports 2111, the first docking ports 2111 are respectively communicated with the first installation grooves, and the thermostatic valve core 220 is arranged in the first installation groove; one end of the second valve body 212 is provided with a second installation groove, and the other end of the second valve body 212 is provided with a plurality of second docking ports 2121, the second docking ports 2121 are respectively communicated with the second installation grooves, and the on-off valve core 230 is arranged in the second installation groove.

[0077] The first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are connected together, the first docking port 2111 and the corresponding second docking port 2121 are connected to form a connecting channel, and the on-off valve core 230 is used to selectively connect to the corresponding connecting channel 2104 .

[0078] The first valve body 211 is provided with a first mounting groove to form the first mounting space. Similarly, the second valve body 212 is provided with a second mounting groove to form the second mounting space. The first valve body 211 and the thermostatic valve core 220 cooperate to form a temperature control valve, while the second valve body 212 and the on-off valve core 230 cooperate to form a waterway control valve.

[0079] For a single valve body, taking the first valve body 211 as an example, the first valve body 211 is provided with a first docking port 2111, which communicates with a corresponding position of the first mounting groove via a water flow path formed inside the first valve body 211. When the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are connected together, the correspondingly arranged first docking port 2111 and second docking port 2121 are plugged together, thereby forming a plurality of connecting channels 2104 between the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212.

[0080] By adopting a split-type design of the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 for docking connection, and utilizing the corresponding first docking interface 2111 and the second docking interface 2121 to cooperate and communicate with each other to complete the water connection between the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212, on the one hand, there is no need to add additional water pipes for external water connection, and on the other hand, the two valve bodies are designed with internal water channels according to the functional requirements of their respective valve cores, which can simplify the overall difficulty of the internal water channel design and effectively improve the water channel expansion capability.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to meet the requirements of sealed docking, a plurality of raised first joints (unmarked) are provided on the first valve body 211, and the first docking interface 2111 is provided on the first joint; a plurality of first docking grooves (unmarked) are provided on the end of the second valve body 212, and the second docking interface 2121 is provided in the first docking groove; wherein, the first joints are inserted into the corresponding first docking grooves.

[0082] Specifically, when the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are assembled, the first connector is inserted into the first docking groove, thereby connecting the corresponding first docking port 2111 and the second docking port 2121. The protruding first connector mates with the recessed first docking groove, which not only facilitates the accurate docking of the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212, but also facilitates the sealing performance of the connection between the first docking port 2111 and the second docking port 2121 when the first connector is inserted into the first docking groove.

[0083] Alternatively, a plurality of raised second docking grooves may be provided on the first valve body 211, and the first docking port 2111 may be provided in the middle of the second docking grooves; a plurality of raised second connectors may be provided on the end of the second valve body 212, and the second docking port 2121 may be provided on the second connector; wherein the second connector is inserted into the corresponding second docking groove.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, when a thermostatic valve core 220 is used, the first valve body 211 on which the thermostatic valve core is installed is provided with inlet one, inlet two and a mixed water outlet in the first installation space, and the inlet one and the inlet two are arranged on one side of the thermostatic valve core, and the mixed water outlet is arranged at the end of the thermostatic valve core, and the thermostatic valve core is used to adjust the water inlet amount of the inlet one and the inlet two according to the outlet water temperature of the mixed water outlet.

[0085] Correspondingly, in order to meet the requirements of hot and cold water inlet, the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are respectively provided with a water inlet interface 2101, and the first valve body 211 or the second valve body 212 is also provided with a water outlet interface 2102;

[0086] Among them, the water flow input from the water inlet interface 2101 on the first valve body 211 enters the inlet one through the corresponding connecting channel 2104, the water flow input from the water inlet interface 2101 on the second valve body 212 enters the inlet two through the corresponding connecting channel 2104, and the water flow output from the mixed water outlet is output from the water outlet interface 2102 through the corresponding connecting channel 2104.

[0087] Specifically, the thermostatic valve core installed in the first valve body 211 can automatically adjust the mixing ratio of cold and hot water to achieve constant temperature water output, and the cold and hot water flow into the first installation space through the water inlet interface 2101 on the two valve bodies respectively, and the thermostatic valve core is used to automatically adjust the mixing ratio of cold and hot water to achieve constant temperature water output.

[0088] In another embodiment, in order to meet the requirements of installing the water treatment filter element 240, an external interface 2103 can be set on the first valve body 211 and / or the second valve body 212, and the external interface 2103 is used to install the water treatment filter element 240. The external interface 2103 is connected between the first installation space and the second installation space through the corresponding connecting channel 2104.

[0089] Specifically, one or more external interfaces 2103 can be configured according to water treatment requirements. For example, external interfaces 2103 can be provided on the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 respectively, so that multiple water treatment filter cartridges 240 can be installed through the external interfaces 2103 .

[0090] The water output from the temperature control valve enters the water treatment filter element 240 through the external interface 2103, then flows into the water circuit control valve and is output. Specifically, the external interface 2103 is connected to the flow path between the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212. The water output from the mixed water outlet on the first valve body 211 enters the water treatment filter element 240 through the external interface 2103 for water quality treatment. The treated water is then transported to the second valve body 212 through the external interface 2103 and finally output from the water outlet interface 2102 to the water end of the external water network.

[0091] In the second embodiment, the on-off valve core 230 is mainly used to control the on-off of the waterway and to adjust the water flow. In order to meet the requirements of multi-waterway cut-off control and multi-waterway connection, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the on-off valve core 230 includes a fixed valve disc 231 and a rotating valve disc 232. The fixed valve disc 231 is provided with at least one inlet and outlet group, and the inlet and outlet group includes two water inlets and outlets 2311; the rotating valve disc 232 is provided with a connecting groove 2321 that cooperates with the inlet and outlet group;

[0092] Among them, the rotating valve plate 232 is abutted against the fixed valve plate 231 and can rotate relative to the fixed valve plate 231, and the connecting groove 2321 selectively connects the two water inlets 2311 in the corresponding inlet and outlet group, and the water inlets 2311 are connected to the corresponding connecting channel 2104.

[0093] Specifically, in actual use, a corresponding number of inlet and outlet groups are provided based on the number of connecting channels 2104 in the housing 210 and the requirements for on-off control between the connecting channels 2104. The on-off control of the two water inlets and outlets 2311 in the same inlet and outlet group is controlled by rotating the valve plate 232. The water inlets and outlets 2311 are each connected to a corresponding connecting channel 2104.

[0094] When the two connecting channels 2104 need to be connected, the rotary valve plate 232 rotates to connect the two water inlets and outlets 2311 in the same water outlet group through the connecting groove 2321, thereby connecting the two connecting channels 2104. At the same time, by controlling the overlapping area between the connecting groove 2321 and the water inlets and outlets 2311, the water flow rate can be further controlled.

[0095] When the two connecting channels 2104 need to be disconnected, the valve plate 232 is rotated to disconnect the connecting groove 2321 from the water inlet and outlet 2311 , thereby disconnecting the two connecting channels 2104 .

[0096] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the on-off valve core 230, the on-off valve core 230 also includes a valve housing 233, the fixed valve plate 231 is fixedly set in the valve housing 233, and the rotating valve plate 232 is rotatably set in the valve housing 233, and the valve housing 233 is located in the second installation space.

[0097] Specifically, the fixed valve disc 231 and the rotating valve disc 232 are respectively installed in the valve housing 233 , and then assembled into the second installation space through the valve housing 233 , so as to realize modular design by using the valve housing 233 .

[0098] In another embodiment, in order to enable the valve housing 233 to be quickly and conveniently installed in the second installation space, the on-off valve core 230 also includes a locking sleeve 238, the locking sleeve 238 has an external thread, the second installation space has an internal thread, and the locking sleeve 238 is threadedly connected in the second installation space and rests on the valve housing 233.

[0099] Specifically, during the actual assembly process, after the fixed valve disc 231 and the rotating valve disc 232 are installed in the valve housing 233, the fixed valve disc 231 needs to be accurately connected to the connecting channel 2104 in the housing 210, and the installation position of the valve housing 233 needs to accurately match the connecting channel 2104 in the housing 210. To this end, the valve housing 233 is directly inserted into the second installation space by means of a plug-in installation method. After the valve housing 233 is inserted into place, the locking sleeve 238 is threadedly connected to the outside of the second installation space to abut against the valve housing 233, ultimately achieving a secure and reliable installation of the on-off valve core 230 on the housing 210.

[0100] In some embodiments, in order to make the fixed valve disc 231 more securely installed and at the same time facilitate the user to drive the rotating valve disc 232 to rotate, one end of the valve housing 233 is provided with a mounting port (unmarked) and the other end is provided with a mounting hole (unmarked); the on-off valve core 230 also includes a water diversion plate 234 and a valve stem 235, and the water diversion plate 234 is provided with a plurality of through holes 2341, the water diversion plate 234 is arranged in the mounting port, the valve stem 235 passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the rotating valve disc 232, and the fixed valve disc 231 is arranged on the water diversion plate 234 and is located between the water diversion plate 234 and the rotating valve disc 232; wherein, the water inlet and outlet 2311 are respectively connected to the corresponding through holes 2341 and the connecting channel 2104.

[0101] Specifically, the fixed valve disc 231 and the rotating valve disc 232 are made of wear-resistant materials (such as ceramic valve discs). By configuring a water dividing plate 234 on the outside of the fixed valve disc 231, on the one hand, the water dividing plate 234 can be used to connect the water inlet and outlet 2311 on the fixed valve disc 231 with the corresponding connecting channel through the corresponding through hole 2341. On the other hand, the water dividing plate 234 squeezes the fixed valve disc 231 from the outside so that the fixed valve disc 231 and the rotating valve disc 232 are tightly attached to each other to ensure a sealed connection between the two.

[0102] One end of the valve stem 235 is sealed and inserted into the valve housing 233 and connected to the rotating valve disc 232, while the other end is exposed to the outside and is provided with a knob, so that the user can drive the rotating valve disc 232 to rotate by turning the knob.

[0103] To achieve a sealed connection between the fixed valve disc 231 and the water diversion tray 234, an inner sealing gasket 236 is provided on the inner side of the water diversion tray 234. The inner sealing gasket 236 is used to seal the through-hole 2341 and the outer circumference of the corresponding water inlet and outlet 2311. Specifically, the inner sealing gasket 236 is provided between the fixed valve disc 231 and the water diversion tray 234, and is used to seal the connection between the through-hole 2341 and the water inlet and outlet 2311. Similarly, an outer sealing gasket 237 is provided on the outer side of the water diversion tray 234. The outer sealing gasket 237 is used to seal the through-hole 2341 and the outer circumference of the corresponding connection channel 2104 located in the second installation space.

[0104] Furthermore, to facilitate quick and easy installation of the inner and outer gaskets 236 and 237, mounting grooves (not labeled) are provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the water diversion tray 234, surrounding the through-hole 2341. The outer and inner gaskets 237 and 236 are positioned within these grooves. Specifically, the structure of the grooves matches the shape of the gaskets, and during assembly, the gaskets are snapped into place.

[0105] In another embodiment, in order to position and install the fixed valve disc 231 , a notch 2331 is provided at the edge of the installation opening, and a first positioning protrusion 2312 is provided on the fixed valve disc 231 , and the first positioning protrusion 2312 is inserted into the notch 2331 .

[0106] Specifically, when assembling the on-off valve core 230, the rotating valve disc 232, the fixed valve disc 231, and the water diversion plate 234 are sequentially installed into the valve housing 233 through the installation opening. The first positioning protrusion 2312 of the fixed valve disc 231 is locked in the notch 2331, so that the fixed valve disc 231 is fixed relative to the valve housing 233 and does not rotate.

[0107] The water diversion tray 234 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 2342, which is inserted into the notch 2331. Similarly, when the water diversion tray 234 is assembled and installed into the valve housing 233, the second positioning protrusion 2342 will also be located in the notch 2331, thereby fixing the water diversion tray 234 relative to the valve housing 233 and preventing rotation.

[0108] Furthermore, to facilitate the simultaneous installation of the water diversion tray 234 and the fixed valve disc 231, thereby improving assembly efficiency, a slot 2313 is provided on the first protrusion, and a tongue 2343 is provided on the second positioning protrusion 2342. The tongue 2343 is inserted into the slot 2313. During assembly, the inner sealing gasket 236 is placed between the water diversion tray 234 and the fixed valve disc 231, and then the tongue 2343 is inserted into the slot 2313, thereby pre-assembling the water diversion tray 234 and the fixed valve disc 231.

[0109] In a certain embodiment, the water diversion plate 234 is connected to the valve housing 233 by a clip-on manner. Specifically, during assembly, the water diversion plate 234 is installed and fixed on the valve housing 233 by a clip-on manner. For example, a clip is provided on the edge of the installation port, and a claw is provided on the water diversion plate 234, and the claw is clamped in the clip.

[0110] In other embodiments, after the valve housing 233 is installed in the outer shell 210, in order to prevent the valve housing 233 from rotating in the outer shell 210 and causing incorrect water connection, a positioning groove 2344 is provided on the water diversion plate 234, and a positioning block (not shown) is provided in the second installation space, and the positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove 2344.

[0111] Specifically, after the valve housing 233 is inserted into the second installation space, the positioning block is engaged with the positioning groove 2344, thereby positioning the valve housing 233. The interaction between the positioning block and the positioning groove 2344 allows the through-hole 2341 and the connecting channel 2104 to be precisely aligned, while also effectively preventing the valve housing 233 from rotating, thereby improving operational reliability.

[0112] In certain embodiments, the water flow path is described using an example where water entering from two water inlet ports 2101 sequentially passes through the on-off valve core 230, the thermostatic valve core 220, the water treatment filter element 240, and the on-off valve core 230, and is output from the water outlet port 2102. To meet the on-off control requirements of the aforementioned water flow path, the fixed valve disc 231 in the on-off valve core 230 is configured with three groups of water outlet ports: a first inlet and outlet group, a second inlet and outlet group, and a third inlet and outlet group.

[0113] The first sub-water inlet interface and the inlet one are selectively connected through the first inlet and outlet group, the second sub-water inlet interface and the inlet two are selectively connected through the second inlet and outlet group, the mixed water outlet is connected to the external interface 2103 through the connecting channel 2104, and the external interface 2103 and the water outlet interface 2102 are selectively connected through the third inlet and outlet group.

[0114] Specifically, taking the example of introducing cold water through the first sub-water inlet interface and hot water through the second sub-water inlet interface, cold water flows to inlet 1 via the first water outlet group on the fixed valve disc 231, and the flow of cold water is controlled by controlling the on / off of the two water inlets 2311 in the first water outlet group. Similarly, hot water flows to inlet 2 via the second water outlet group on the fixed valve disc 231, and the flow of hot water is controlled by controlling the on / off of the two water inlets 2311 in the second water outlet group. Water treated by the water treatment filter 240 flows to the water outlet interface 2102 via the third water outlet group on the fixed valve disc 231.

[0115] The water inlet and outlet 2311 connected to the water outlet interface 2102 through the connecting channel 2104 is the water outlet, and the water flow cross-sectional area of the water outlet gradually increases along with the flow direction of the water flow.

[0116] Specifically, the water inlet and outlet 2311, which communicates with the water outlet interface 2102, is configured as the water outlet. Due to the size limitations of the housing 210, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting groove 2321 are relatively small, while the cross-sectional dimensions of the water flow at the outlet and the connecting / disconnecting connection are relatively large. This causes the water to diffuse outward during output, potentially leading to turbulence due to sudden changes in cross-sectional area. By gradually increasing the cross-sectional area of the outlet as the water flows, this can mitigate turbulence caused by water diffusion, reduce the formation of cavities during water flow, and thus reduce water flow noise, thereby improving user experience.

[0117] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, the outer surface of the fixed valve plate 231 is provided with a water storage tank 2314 having the same shape as the corresponding through hole 2341. The water outlet extends through the water storage tank 2314. Specifically, the shape of the water storage tank 2314 matches the shape of the corresponding through hole 2341. This not only ensures the reliability of the water connection and reduces the risk of water leakage, but also further acts as a buffer for the water flow. The water inlet and outlet 2311, which communicates with the water outlet, serves as the water inlet. The water outlet is adjacent to the water inlet, and a slope 2315 is formed in the water storage tank 2314, extending obliquely away from the water inlet.

[0118] Specifically, the slope 2315 , on the one hand, satisfies the requirement that the cross-sectional area of the water flow at the outlet gradually increases along with the flow direction of the water flow, and on the other hand, can also guide the water flow so as to be better distributed to the corresponding connected through holes 2341 .

[0119] Example 3, as Figure 7-10 As shown, the present invention also provides a water treatment module 200 for treating the water flowing through, and at the same time, it can also realize the control of the water flow size to adjust the water temperature. The water treatment module 200 includes: the above-mentioned split valve module and the water treatment filter element 240. The water treatment filter element 240 is used to treat the water quality of the water flowing through; wherein, the first installation space and the second installation space are connected by a connecting channel 2104, the water inlet interface 2101, the water outlet interface 2102 and the external interface 2103 are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting channel 2104, the on-off valve core 230 is used to selectively connect the corresponding connecting channel 2104, and the water treatment filter element 240 is connected to the external interface 2103.

[0120] Specifically, for the shell 210, the water inlet interface 2101 and the water outlet interface 2102 configured therein are respectively connected to the external water network, such as the water inlet interface 2101 is connected to the water supply end of the external water network, and the water outlet interface 2102 is connected to the water use end of the external water network.

[0121] During the actual assembly process, the thermostatic valve core 220 is installed in the first installation space, and the on-off valve core 230 is installed in the second installation space, and the two installation spaces are connected through the connecting channel 2104 set inside the shell 210. Since the connecting channel 2104 is built into the interior of the shell 210 and the first installation space and the second installation space are pre-connected according to the design requirements, during assembly, it is only necessary to install the thermostatic valve core 220 and the on-off valve core 230 in the corresponding installation space to complete the assembly, thereby reducing the need to connect one by one through water pipes during the assembly of the valve core, thereby simplifying the assembly process. In addition, when installing at the user's home, the water inlet interface 2101, the water outlet interface 2102, and the external interface 2103 are also connected to the corresponding installation space through the internal connecting channel 2104, so that when realizing on-site assembly, it is only necessary to connect the water pipes of the external water supply pipe to the water inlet interface 2101 and the water outlet interface 2102.

[0122] The water treatment filter element 240 can be connected to the external interface 2103 at the factory stage or during assembly at the user's home. The water treatment filter element 240 can be a conventional water quality filter element, such as a water purification filter element, an aromatherapy filter element, a foam filter element, etc., to respectively achieve water purification, aromatherapy, and bubble functions, thereby providing a multi-functional experience. The specific embodiment of the water treatment filter element 240 is not limited or detailed here.

[0123] In some embodiments, the water flow inputted through the water inlet interface 2101 may have a variety of flow paths.

[0124] For example, water entering the water inlet interface 2101 passes through the on-off valve core 230, the thermostatic valve core 220, the water treatment filter core 240, and the on-off valve core 230 in sequence, and is output from the water outlet interface 2102. Specifically, water supplied by the external water supply network enters the water inlet interface 2101 and first flows through the on-off valve core 230 to facilitate the on-off control of the water path; then, the water flows into the temperature control valve to adjust the temperature; the water with adjusted temperature enters the water treatment filter core 240 for water quality treatment, and finally passes through the on-off valve core 230 and is output from the water outlet interface 2102 to the water supply end of the water supply network.

[0125] Alternatively, the water flowing into the water inlet interface 2101 is sequentially output from the water outlet interface 2102 through the thermostatic valve core 220, the on-off valve core 230, the water treatment filter element 240, and the on-off valve core 230;

[0126] Alternatively, the water flow entering the water inlet interface 2101 is sequentially output from the water outlet interface 2102 through the thermostatic valve core 220 , the water treatment filter core 240 , and the on-off valve core 230 .

[0127] In one embodiment of the present application, the connecting channel 2104 arranged in the housing 210 is built into the housing 210. Since the internal space of the housing 210 is limited and the requirements for connecting different water flow paths need to be met, in order to reduce the processing difficulty of forming the connecting channel 2104 in the housing 210, the connecting channel 2104 is formed according to the different positions of the connecting channel 2104 inside the housing 210 and the requirements for water path connection, such as Figure 10 As shown, part of the connecting channel 2104 is a complete water channel directly formed in the shell 210, while for the remaining connecting channel 2104, it is necessary to realize the bending flow of water. For the connecting channel 2104 corresponding to this situation, it is formed in the shell 210 in a split connection manner.

[0128] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, connecting channel 2104 includes two main water channels 21041 and a secondary water channel 21042. The two main water channels 21041 are arranged in parallel and staggered. The secondary water channels 21042 are staggered with the two main water channels 21041 and respectively connect to the two main water channels 21041. One end of the secondary water channel 21042 is located on the outer surface of the housing 210 and is provided with a plug 21043. The two main water channels 21041 are arranged non-collinearly, such as being staggered vertically or horizontally, while the secondary water channel 21042 runs through and connects the two main water channels 21041 to achieve a curved water transport in connecting channel 2104.

[0129] Thus, in actual processing, conventional processing methods such as injection molding are typically used for the housing 210. The integral connecting channel 2104 is entirely built into the housing 210. In the case of a split-design connecting channel 2104, a secondary water channel 21042 is formed in conjunction with two primary water channels 21041. One end of the secondary water channel 21042 is located on the surface of the housing 210 to facilitate processing and molding. A plug 21043 is further used to seal the end of the secondary water channel 21042.

[0130] In another embodiment of the present application, the thermostatic valve core 220 is mainly used to adjust the water temperature, and a thermostatic valve core is preferably used. Correspondingly, two water inlet interfaces 2101 are configured, namely, a first sub-water inlet interface and a second sub-water inlet interface.

[0131] The first installation space is provided with an inlet 1 (unmarked), an inlet 2 (unmarked) and a mixed water outlet (unmarked), wherein the inlet 1 and the inlet 2 are arranged on one side of the thermostatic valve core, and the mixed water outlet is arranged at the end of the thermostatic valve core, and the thermostatic valve core is used to adjust the water inlet volume of the inlet 1 and the inlet 2 according to the outlet water temperature of the mixed water outlet;

[0132] The water flow inputted from the first sub-water inlet interface enters the inlet 1, the water flow inputted from the second sub-water inlet interface enters the inlet 2, and the water flow outputted from the mixed water outlet is outputted from the water outlet interface 2102 .

[0133] Specifically, two water inlet ports 2101 introduce water of different temperatures, namely hot water and cold water, respectively. The hot and cold water flow into the thermostatic valve core through inlet 1 and inlet 2, respectively. The thermostatic valve core automatically controls the ratio of hot and cold water based on the user-adjusted outlet water temperature, ultimately outputting water at the set temperature from the mixed water outlet. The specific structure of the thermostatic valve core for automatically adjusting the hot and cold water ratio can be referenced to the valve core structure of a conventional thermostatic valve and is not limited or elaborated upon herein.

[0134] Example 4: Based on the above example, Figure 11-13As shown, the water treatment filter element 240 is mounted on the external interface 2103. The water treatment filter element 240 generally has a certain service life and therefore needs to be replaced regularly. To facilitate the user's removal and installation of the filter element, a rotatable connecting joint 213 is provided on the housing 210. The free end of the connecting joint 213 is provided with the external interface 2103; the water treatment filter element 240 is mounted on the external interface 2103.

[0135] Specifically, the water treatment filter cartridge 240 is mounted on a rotatable connector 213 disposed on the housing 210, while the housing 210 and its internally disposed connecting channel 2104 and valve core together constitute an integrated waterway component. Since the connector 213 can rotate relative to the housing 210, when the water treatment filter cartridge 240 needs to be removed or assembled, the connector 213 can be rotated to allow the water treatment filter cartridge 240 to be pulled outward, thereby facilitating disassembly by the user. Similarly, when assembling the water treatment filter cartridge 240, the connector 213 can be rotated to an appropriate installation angle to quickly and easily install the water treatment filter cartridge 240.

[0136] In certain embodiments, the water treatment filter cartridge 240 typically requires protection. Therefore, the water treatment module 200 is integrally mounted within the housing 100. The housing 100 and the water treatment module 200 are assembled together to form a water treatment device. The water treatment device can function differently depending on the application scenario. For example, the water treatment device can be installed in a shower and used in conjunction with a water heater to function as a showerhead; it can also be installed in a kitchen and used in conjunction with a small kitchen appliance. The specific usage is not limited herein.

[0137] In some embodiments, the water treatment filter element 240 can be installed in various structural forms. For example, the water treatment filter element 240 is threadedly connected to the external interface 2103 .

[0138] In order to better meet the requirements of quick disassembly and assembly, the water treatment filter element 240 is inserted into the external interface 2103.

[0139] Specifically, the water treatment filter element 240 is installed on the external interface 2103 by plugging in. In this way, the user only needs to plug in and out the water treatment filter element 240 to realize disassembly.

[0140] In one embodiment, in order to ensure connection reliability, a clamping member 241 is provided on the water treatment filter element 240 , a clamping seat 110 is provided in the housing 100 , and the clamping seat 110 is provided with a clamping slot 111 , in which the clamping member 241 is clamped.

[0141] Specifically, when installing the water treatment filter cartridge 240, the connector 213 rotates outward to facilitate insertion of the water treatment filter cartridge 240 into the external port 2103. The water treatment filter cartridge 240, coupled with the connector 213, rotates to be installed within the housing 100. Once the water treatment filter cartridge 240 is in place, the clamping member 241 engages with the clamping slot 111. The clamping member 241 cooperates with the clamping slot 111 to ensure that the water treatment filter cartridge 240 is securely and reliably installed.

[0142] In another embodiment, in order to ensure that the water treatment filter element 240 and the connecting joint 213 can be reliably inserted together to avoid water leakage due to improper assembly, a positioning opening 21031 is also provided on the edge of the external interface 2103, and the clamping part 241 is also located in the positioning opening 21031.

[0143] Specifically, the connection joint 213 is provided with a positioning opening 21031 at the edge of the external interface 2103. When installing the water treatment filter cartridge 240, the user needs to move the clamping member 241 into the positioning opening 21031 to achieve proper installation. If the water treatment filter cartridge 240 is inserted into the connection joint 213 and is properly installed, the clamping member 241 is located outside the positioning opening 21031. When the connection joint 213 is rotated to allow the clamping member 241 to snap into the slot 111, the clamping member 241 is located outside the positioning opening 21031 and is not properly installed. As a result, the clamping member 241 and the slot 111 are misaligned, making it impossible to secure the water treatment filter cartridge 240.

[0144] The above structural design can ensure that the water treatment filter element 240 and the connecting joint 213 are properly installed, thereby reducing the occurrence of water leakage due to improper installation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0145] In another embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the connecting joint 213, a connecting seat 214 is provided on the housing 210, and a mounting socket 215 is provided at the end of the connecting seat 214, and the mounting socket is connected to the corresponding connecting channel. The side wall of the connecting seat 214 is provided with a mounting hole (not marked), and a detachable limiting member 216 is provided in the mounting hole; the connecting joint 213 is provided with a plug, and a limiting groove 2131 is provided on the outer periphery of the plug, and the limiting member 216 is stuck in the limiting groove 2131.

[0146] Specifically, the connecting joint 213 is also installed on the housing 210 in an insertion manner, and the limiting member 216 and the limiting groove 2131 cooperate with each other. On the one hand, it satisfies the requirement that the connecting joint 213 is reliably connected to the housing 210 and will not be detached from the mounting socket. On the other hand, it can also meet the requirement that the connecting joint 213 can rotate relative to the housing 210.

[0147] The retaining member 216 has a U-shaped structure, and the sidewall of the connection base 214 is provided with two mounting holes. The two ends of the retaining member 216 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mounting holes, and the plug is located between the two ends of the retaining member 216. Specifically, the retaining member 216 spans both sides of the connection joint 213, providing a more reliable retaining effect on the connection joint 213.

[0148] Furthermore, the position-limiting member 216 is provided with a snap-fit portion (not labeled), and the connector 214 is provided with a snap-fit portion, the snap-fit portion being snap-fitted to the snap-fit portion. Specifically, after the position-limiting member 216 is installed, the snap-fit portion and the snap-fit portion snap together to ensure that the position-limiting member 216 is securely and reliably mounted on the connector 214.

[0149] In another embodiment, in order to limit the rotation angle of the connecting joint 213, a raised rotation limit block 217 is provided in the mounting socket, and a limiting rib 2132 is provided on the outer periphery of the plug of the connecting joint 213, and the rotation limit block 217 is located between the two ends of the limiting rib 2132.

[0150] Specifically, during the rotation process, the rotation limit block 217 is located between the two ends of the limit rib 2132. When the connecting joint 213 rotates outward to the maximum rotation angle position, the rotation limit block 217 will abut against the corresponding end of the limit rib 2132.

[0151] Example 5, as Figure 14-18 As shown, the present invention also provides a wall-mounted bathing device, which includes:

[0152] The housing 100 is provided with a water inlet pipe 101 and a water outlet pipe 102. The interior of the housing 100 forms an installation space, and the installation space is provided with a first installation seat 103 and a second installation seat 104;

[0153] The water valve module has a water inlet interface 2101, a water outlet interface 2102, and an external interface 2103; wherein the water valve module is composed of a shell 210 and a temperature control valve core 220 and a water channel control valve core 230 arranged on the shell 210.

[0154] A water treatment filter element 240, which is used to treat the water flowing into the water inlet pipe and output it from the water outlet pipe;

[0155] In which, the water valve module and the water treatment filter element 240 are both arranged in the casing 100, the valve module is arranged on the first mounting seat, the water treatment filter element 240 is arranged on the second mounting seat, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet interface 2101, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet interface 2102, the water treatment filter element 240 is connected to the external interface 2103, and the casing 100 is used to hang on the water inlet pipe and / or the water outlet pipe.

[0156] Specifically, in order to meet the requirements of bathroom installation, a wall-mounted casing 100 is adopted, and the casing 100 is suspended on the wall of the bathroom through the water inlet pipe and / or the water outlet pipe, while the water valve module and the water treatment filter element 240 are centrally installed in the casing 100.

[0157] During the installation process in the user's home, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water network in the user's home. A water supply pipe opening is usually reserved on the wall of the user's home, and the water inlet pipe is installed on the water supply pipe opening. Similarly, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water pipe of the water terminal in the user's home.

[0158] The following description will be made by taking the water inlet pipe supporting casing 100 as an example.

[0159] The water inlet pipe is connected to the water supply pipe outlet buried in the wall of the user's home, and the housing 100 is hung on the wall through the water inlet pipe, while the water valve module and water treatment filter element 240 in the housing 100 are fixedly installed in the housing 100 through corresponding mounting seats.

[0160] The housing 100 is installed and used by hanging on the wall through the water inlet pipe or the water outlet pipe to meet the requirements of wall installation. At the same time, the water valve module and the water treatment filter element 240 are centrally installed in the housing 100 to achieve a compact structural design and meet the requirements of unified and rapid installation on site.

[0161] In some embodiments, the housing 100 has a flat structure as a whole. Thus, after the housing 100 is mounted on the wall, the housing 100 has a flat structure, so that the housing 100 can be close to the wall and the area of the wall can be used to form an internal installation space for installing the water valve module and the water treatment filter element 240. In addition, the flat structure of the housing 100 can reduce the amount of effective bathroom space occupied by the housing 100, reducing the risk of the user bumping into the housing 100 during bathing. In addition, the housing 100 is integrated with the water valve module, and the height of the wall-mounted housing 100 will be suitable for the user to operate the water valve module, so that the housing 100 can be installed using the installation space where the mixing valve was originally installed in the user's home.

[0162] In one embodiment of the present application, the water inlet pipe passes through the back plate of the housing 100 and extends to the outside of the housing 100 .

[0163] Specifically, the water inlet pipe extends from the back panel of the housing 100 to connect to the water supply pipe on the wall of the user's home. Typically, the water inlet pipe is arranged horizontally, which is more conducive to supporting the housing 100 and the water valve module and water treatment filter element 240 inside the housing 100. Furthermore, since the water entering the water valve module is generally divided into cold water and hot water, the water inlet pipe can be placed on both sides of the housing 100, with one water inlet pipe for cold water and the other for hot water.

[0164] In a certain embodiment, in order to facilitate on-site installation by operators, the water inlet pipe includes a first tube body 1011 and a second tube body 1012, the first tube body 1011 is provided with an external threaded portion 1013, the axis of the external threaded portion 1013 is set to deviate from the axis of the first tube body 1011, the first tube body 1011 is sealed and inserted into the second tube body 1012, the external threaded portion 1013 is located outside the casing 100, and the second tube body 1012 is connected to the water inlet interface 2101.

[0165] Specifically, during the actual assembly process, due to differences in the decoration construction in users' homes, the distances between the two pipe openings of the external water pipes that transport hot and cold water vary. By setting the external threaded portion 1013 of the first tube body 1011 in an off-axis arrangement, and then connecting it to the pipe opening on the wall through the external threaded portion 1013, and then rotating it at an appropriate angle so that the distance between the two first tube bodies 1011 meets the installation distance between the two second tube bodies 1012 fixedly installed on the casing 100, it is possible to facilitate quick on-site installation to improve installation versatility.

[0166] The first tube body 1011 and the second tube body 1012 are assembled in an insertion manner. After the installation position of the first tube body 1011 is adjusted, the first tube body 1011 is inserted into the corresponding second tube body 1012 to complete the assembly.

[0167] In another embodiment, in order to ensure a firm and reliable connection between the first tube body 1011 and the second tube body 1012, the outer diameter of the tube section of the first tube body 1011 inserted into the second tube body 1012 gradually increases from the outside to the inside, and a screw hole is provided on the tube wall of the second tube body 1012, and a locking screw 1014 is threadedly connected to the screw hole, and the locking screw 1014 rests against the outer tube wall of the first tube body 1011.

[0168] Specifically, when installing the device in a user's home, after the two first tubes 1011 are installed and positioned properly, the housing 100 is connected to the first tube 1011 on the wall via the second tube 1012. Furthermore, after the first tube 1011 is inserted into the second tube 1012 and the distance between the housing 100 and the wall is adjusted, the first tube 1011 is fastened to the second tube 1012 using the locking screws 1014.

[0169] Since the size of the outer tube wall of the first tube body 1011 is a variable diameter structure, the larger the diameter of the outer tube wall of the first tube body 1011 inserted into the second tube body 1012, the locking screw 1014 can be tightened so that the end of the locking screw 1014 abuts against the outer tube wall of the first tube body 1011, thereby preventing the first tube body 1011 from detaching from the second tube body 1012, thereby improving the connection reliability between the first tube body 1011 and the second tube body 1012.

[0170] At the same time, the first tube body 1011 and the second tube body 1012 are connected by using the locking screw 1014 to cooperate with the outer tube wall of the first tube body 1011, and the outer tube wall variable diameter structure of the first tube body 1011 is used to enable the casing 100 to be installed tightly against the wall.

[0171] In addition, in order to facilitate the operator to operate the locking screw 1014, an operation hole 130 can be provided on the housing 100, and the operation hole 130 is arranged opposite to the locking screw 1014. Specifically, during the actual installation process, after the position between the first tube 1011 and the second tube 1012 is adjusted, the first tube 1011 and the second tube 1012 can be tightened by the locking screw 1014. Since the second tube 1012 is located in the housing 100, the operator inserts a screwdriver into the operation hole 130 to tighten the locking screw 1014.

[0172] Based on the above technical solution, Figure 16-17 As shown, for the fixed installation method of the water treatment filter element 240, in order to reliably support the water treatment filter element 240 and at the same time meet the requirements of convenient disassembly and assembly, a support part 120 can be configured in the casing 100; the water treatment filter element 240 is inserted into the external interface 2103 through the plug-in water pipe at its end, and the other end of the water treatment filter element 240 rests on the support part 120.

[0173] Specifically, during the installation of the water treatment filter element 240, after the water treatment filter element 240 is installed on the external interface 2103 by plugging in the water pipe, the other end of the water treatment filter element 240 rests on the support part 120 configured on the casing 100, and the other end of the water treatment filter element 240 can also be supported by the support part 120.

[0174] The two ends of the water treatment filter element 240 are respectively supported and fixed, so that during use, the occurrence of the water treatment filter element 240 falling off due to shaking can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the reliability of use; in addition, during the installation or disassembly of the water treatment filter element 240, by pushing and pulling the water treatment filter element 240, the water treatment filter element 240 can be easily detached from the support part 120 or abutted against the support part 120, thereby meeting the requirements of convenient disassembly and assembly.

[0175] In one embodiment, the support portion 120 is an elastic plate disposed on the housing 100 , and one end portion of the elastic plate is disposed on the housing 100 .

[0176] Specifically, the support portion 120 adopts an elastic plate so that the support portion 120 has a certain elasticity. In this way, when the water treatment filter element 240 is installed, the end of the water treatment filter element 240 rests on the elastic plate to cause the elastic plate to produce a certain deformation, and then the elastic plate is used to provide reliable support for the water treatment filter element 240.

[0177] During disassembly, the elasticity of the elastic plate is overcome and the requirement of easy disassembly of the water treatment filter element 240 can be met.

[0178] In one embodiment, the surface of the elastic plate in contact with the end of the water treatment filter element 240 forms an inclined surface 121 and a supporting surface 122 that are connected in sequence.

[0179] Specifically, the inclined surface 121 facilitates the movement of the end of the water treatment filter element 240 via the inclined surface 121 during installation of the water treatment filter element 240. After the water treatment filter element 240 is in place, the end of the water treatment filter element 240 rests against the support surface 122. Furthermore, to facilitate processing and reduce manufacturing costs, the elastic plate and the housing 100 are integrally formed.

[0180] In other embodiments, in order to further limit the end of the water treatment filter element 240 that contacts the support portion 120 , limiting portions 123 are further provided on both sides of the support portion 120 , and the filter element is located between the two limiting portions 123 .

[0181] Specifically, the limiting portions on both sides of the support portion 120 form a limiting space, which can limit the end position of the water treatment filter element 240 in contact with the support portion 120 to the limiting space, thereby improving installation reliability.

[0182] In some embodiments, at least one second mounting seat 104 may be provided on the housing 100 along the length direction of the filter element. A recessed portion is formed on the second mounting seat 104 , and the water treatment filter element 240 is located in the recessed portion.

[0183] Specifically, after the two ends of the water treatment filter element 240 are fixedly installed through the external interface 2103 and the support part 120 respectively, the water treatment filter element 240 is provided with at least one second mounting seat in its length direction. The recessed portion formed by the second mounting seat can further position and support the middle area of the water treatment filter element 240, thereby being more conducive to improving the installation reliability.
