Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to, but is not limited to, bathroom fixture technology, particularly a concealed water outlet control device and water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing concealed water control devices (also called embedded boxes) typically have several cylindrical protective sleeves, each covering the control valve and the outlet of the main water supply unit, providing individual protection for these parts. However, after the embedded box is placed in the wall, cement will seep into the casing during subsequent filling. This means the embedded box cannot effectively protect the main internal components, potentially leading to damage and replacement of internal parts after renovation. Furthermore, since part of the main water supply unit and the protective sleeves are embedded in the cement, subsequent inspection and maintenance require breaking through the wall to replace parts, which is inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a concealed water outlet control device that can prevent cement from entering the housing during installation, effectively protecting the internal components. Moreover, it allows for convenient replacement of parts without breaking the wall during subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a concealed water outlet control device, comprising: a housing partially embedded in an installation carrier; and a water control device installed in the housing, the water control device including a water-passing body; wherein the housing is provided with a partition, the partition dividing the internal space of the housing into a first region for installing the water-passing body and a second region for installing a control valve; the first region is at least partially located within the installation carrier, and the second region is closed at one end away from the partition; the partition is provided with a clearance hole connecting the first region and the second region, for connecting the water-passing body and the control valve.

[0005] The concealed water control device provided in this application includes a housing and a water control device. The water control device is used to control the water flow rate, water temperature, etc. The housing is the mounting carrier for the water control device and also protects it. The housing can be partially embedded in the mounting carrier (such as a wall), allowing the water control device and other structures to be hidden within the wall or other mounting carrier, achieving a concealed installation effect and improving the aesthetics of the interior space after decoration.

[0006] The water control device includes a water-passing body, which can be connected to at least one control valve. The water-passing body can be connected to pipes such as cold water pipes and hot water pipes within an installation carrier such as a wall. The control valve is operably connected to the water-passing body and can change the on / off state of the water-passing body and the cold water pipes, hot water pipes, etc., allowing selective output of cold water, hot water, etc., entering the water-passing body, thereby achieving control over the water flow rate, water temperature, etc.

[0007] The shell's internal space is divided into a first region and a second region by a partition. The first region is used to install the water-passing body, serving as its installation area and providing protection. Most of the water-passing body's structure can be located within the first region, with a small portion extending outside (e.g., connectors for cold and hot water pipes protruding from the shell, and the connection between the water-passing body and the control valve located in the second region). The second region is used to install the control valve, serving as its installation area and providing protection. The control valve can be entirely located within the second region.

[0008] Since the control valve needs to be connected to the handle and other operating parts outside the mounting carrier after assembly, so that the control valve is located relatively outside the main body of water flow, that is, the depth of its embedment in the mounting carrier is relatively shallower. Therefore, the second area is relatively outside the first area. Thus, the end of the second area away from the partition is the outer end of the shell.

[0009] Since the shell is partially embedded within the mounting carrier, a portion of the shell extends beyond it, meaning the outer end of the shell also lies outside the mounting carrier. Because the end of the second region furthest from the partition is closed (i.e., the outer end of the shell is closed), while the inner end of the shell abuts against the mounting carrier, the shell provides ample protection for the internal components. This effectively prevents these components from contacting the outside environment during installation, thus avoiding damage and replacement. Furthermore, this design effectively prevents cement from entering the shell during subsequent cement filling, providing sufficient space for later inspection and maintenance. This avoids the need to break through walls due to cement during product maintenance, facilitating subsequent repairs.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, the first region is open at the end away from the partition, and the water-passing body is fixed to the partition.

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a concealed water outlet control device 2, including: a housing 1 and a water control device 2. The housing 1 is configured to be partially embedded in a mounting carrier 53. The water control device 2 is installed in the housing 1. The water control device 2 includes a water-passing body 21 and at least one control valve 22 connected to the water-passing body 21.

[0060] Among them, such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a partition 13. The partition 13 divides the internal space of the housing 1 into a first region 14 for installing the water-passing body 21 and a second region 15 for installing the control valve 22. The first region 14 is configured to be at least partially located within the mounting carrier 53. The second region 15 is closed at one end away from the partition 13. The partition 13 is provided with a clearance hole 131 connecting the first region 14 and the second region 15 for connecting the water-passing body 21 and the control valve 22.

[0061] The concealed water control device 2 provided in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a water control device 2. The water control device 2 is used to control the water flow rate, water temperature, etc. The housing 1 is the mounting carrier of the water control device 2 and also protects the water control device 2. The housing 1 can be partially embedded in the mounting carrier 53 (such as a wall), so that the water control device 2 and other structures are hidden in the mounting carrier 53, achieving a concealed installation effect, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the interior space after decoration.

[0062] The water control device 2 includes a water-passing body 21 and at least one control valve 22. The water-passing body 21 can be connected to pipes such as cold water pipe 51 and hot water pipe 52 within the mounting carrier 53, such as a wall. The control valve 22 is operably connected to the water-passing body 21 and can change the on / off state of the water-passing body 21 and the pipes such as cold water pipe 51 and hot water pipe 52, so that the cold water, hot water, and other water sources entering the water-passing body 21 can be selectively output, thereby realizing the control of the water flow rate, water temperature, etc.

[0063] The partition 13 of the housing 1 divides the internal space of the housing 1 into a first region 14 and a second region 15. The first region 14 is used to install the water-passing body 21, serving as the installation area and protecting the water-passing body 21. Most of the structure of the water-passing body 21 can be located within the first region 14, with a small portion located outside (e.g., the connectors for the cold water pipe 51 and hot water pipe 52 extend out of the housing 1; the connection between the water-passing body 21 and the control valve 22 is located within the second region 15). The second region 15 is used to install the control valve 22, serving as the installation area and protecting the control valve 22. The control valve 22 can be entirely located within the second region 15.

[0064] Since the control valve 22 needs to be connected to the handle 43 and other operating parts outside the mounting carrier 53 after assembly, so that the user can operate it, the position of the control valve 22 is relatively outward compared to the water-passing body 21, that is, the depth of its embedment in the mounting carrier 53 is relatively shallower. Therefore, the second region 15 is relatively outward compared to the first region 14. Thus, the end of the second region 15 that is away from the partition 13 is the outer end of the shell 1.

[0065] Since part of the housing 1 is embedded within the mounting carrier 53, a portion of the housing 1 is not embedded within the mounting carrier 53 but extends outwards. Therefore, the outer end of the housing 1 is also located outside the mounting carrier 53. Because the end of the second region 15 furthest from the partition 13 is closed (i.e., the outer end of the housing 1 is closed), while the inner end of the housing 1 abuts against the mounting carrier 53, the housing 1 can adequately protect the internal components, effectively preventing them from contacting the outside during installation and thus avoiding damage and replacement. Furthermore, this effectively prevents cement from entering the housing 1 during subsequent cement filling, providing ample space for subsequent inspection and maintenance. This avoids the need to break through walls due to cement during product maintenance, facilitating the subsequent maintenance process.

[0066] Of course, the water control device 2 may also exclude the control valve 22 and only include the water passage body 21, which helps to reduce the cost of the concealed water outlet control device. During use, the control valve 22 can be prepared separately and installed into the housing 1 after the concealed water outlet control device is installed.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, the water-passing body 21 is adapted to the partition 13 to close one end of the second region 15 near the first region 14, such as... Figure 12 As shown.

[0068] In other words, when the water-passing body 21 is assembled onto the housing 1, the water-passing body 21 can block the opening on the partition 13, thus sealing off the end of the second region 15 near the first region 14. In this way, both ends of the second region 15 are sealed off, so the control valve 22 and other components in the second region 15 can be completely enclosed within the second region 15, thereby effectively preventing damage from external substances such as cement during installation and facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the end of the first region 14 away from the partition 13 is open, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown. The main water-passing body 21 is fixed to the partition plate 13.

[0070] Currently available pre-embedded products typically divide the housing 1 into two parts. During assembly, the water-passing body 21 is placed inside one half-shell, and then the other half-shell is fixed using fasteners or screws 46. While fixing the two half-shells, the internal water-passing body 21 is also fixed. This structural form is complex and inconvenient to assemble.

[0071] The embodiment of this application simplifies the structure of the housing 1 by directly installing a partition 13 inside the housing 1. This partition 13 divides the internal space of the housing 1 into two parts for assembling components such as the water-passing body 21 and the control valve 22. Since the end of the first region 14 furthest from the partition 13 is open, the water-passing body 21 can be directly inserted into the first region 14 from this end and then fixed to the partition 13. This simplifies the product structure and assembly process, thus reducing product costs.

[0072] like Figure 19 As shown, when the size of the clearance hole 131 is large enough, components such as the control valve 22 that are connected to the water-passing body 21 can also be pre-connected to the water-passing body 21, and then together installed into the housing 1 from the end of the first region 14 away from the partition 13, until the water-passing body 21 is fixed on the partition 13. At this time, the water-passing body 21 can be basically fixed in the first region 14, while components such as the control valve 22 are basically fixed in the second region 15.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, one of the partition plate 13 and the water-passing body 21 is provided with a buckle 134, and the other is provided with a slot 2128. The buckle 134 and the slot 2128 engage with each other so that the water-passing body 21 is engaged with the partition plate 13.

[0074] This solution uses a snap-fit ​​method to fix the water-passing body 21 to the partition plate 13. During assembly, the water-passing body 21 is simply pushed into the housing 1 until the snap-fit ​​134 is engaged in the slot 2128, which is very convenient. Compared with fasteners and other fixing methods, this solution further reduces the assembly difficulty of the product and effectively improves the ease of assembly.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the water-passing body 21 includes an inlet section 211, a connecting section 212, and an outlet section 213. The inlet section 211 has at least two inlets, and the outlet section 213 has an outlet. The connecting section 212 connects the outlet of the inlet section 211 to the inlet of the outlet section 213. A control valve 22 is connected to the inlet section 211 to control its state. A slot 2128 is provided in the connecting section 212, as shown... Figure 14 As shown.

[0076] The inlet section 211 is used for water input, and the outlet section 213 is used for water output. The connecting section 212 is used for water output from the inlet section 211 to enter the outlet section 213. The inlet of the inlet section 211 may include at least a hot water inlet 2112 and a cold water inlet 2112, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 As shown. Hot water inlet 2112 is used to connect to hot water pipe 52, and cold water inlet 2111 is used to connect to cold water pipe 51, as follows. Figure 15 As shown. The control valve 22 is connected to the water inlet 211 and can control the ratio of cold water and hot water entering the water inlet 211, thereby controlling the water temperature; it can also control the opening of the outlet of the water inlet 211, thereby controlling the water flow rate.

[0077] Since the connecting part 212 is located between the water inlet part 211 and the water outlet part 213, that is, in the middle of the water-passing body 21, the slot 2128 is provided in the connecting part 212, which is conducive to the balance of force between the water-passing body 21 and the partition 13, thereby improving the connection reliability between the water-passing body 21 and the partition 13.

[0078] Among them, such as Figure 10 As shown, the water inlet 211, the connecting part 212, and the water outlet 213 can all be roughly cylindrical. The axial direction of the water inlet 211 can be parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet 213 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting part 212.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the water control device 2 also includes a water outlet connector 23, which is connected to the water outlet of the water outlet section 213. Figure 11 As shown, there are at least two clearance holes 131, one clearance hole 131 corresponding to a control valve 22. One clearance hole 131 is also corresponding to a water outlet connector 23. The end of the water outlet connector 23 furthest from the water-passing body 21 is located within the second region 15.

[0080] The water outlet connector 23 is used to connect the water outlet of the water-passing body 21 to the external water outlet pipe 42, which avoids the water outlet section 213 having an overly complex structure. The partition 13 is provided with at least two clearance holes 131.

[0081] For example, there are two clearance holes 131. One clearance hole 131 is connected to the control valve 22 through the water inlet 211 of the water body 21, and the other clearance hole 131 is connected to the water outlet 213 of the water body 21 through the water outlet connector 23.

[0082] Since the end of the water outlet connector 23 furthest from the main water-passing body 21 is also located within the second region 15, the water outlet connector 23 is also located entirely within the housing 1. Thus, during assembly, the water control device 2 can be installed entirely on the housing 1 first, and the main components of the concealed water outlet control device 2 are then integrated and installed on the housing 1. Then, as... Figure 15As shown, the shell 1 is placed inside the wall, then cement is filled in, and decorative elements such as wall tiles are applied to embed the portion of the shell 1 within the mounting carrier 53, such as the wall. Then, the excess portion of the shell 1 exposed outside the wall tiles is removed, such as... Figure 16 As shown, at this time, one end of the housing 1 on the outer wall of the mounting carrier 53 is open, allowing a view of the various components of the internal water control device 2. Finally, the accessories outside the mounting carrier 53 (such as the decorative cover 41, water outlet pipe 42, handle 43, etc.) are installed. Figure 17 As shown. Therefore, the housing 1 of this solution can provide sufficient protection for the internal components.

[0083] Alternatively, the inlet section 211 may be partially inserted into the corresponding clearance hole 131, with the control valve 22 completely located within the second region 15 and sealed to the inlet section 211. The outlet section 213 may be partially inserted into the corresponding clearance hole 131, with the outlet connector 23 also inserted into the corresponding clearance hole 131 and sealed to the outlet section 213.

[0084] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the water outlet connector 23 and the water outlet section 213 can be sealed by two first sealing rings 24. The water outlet connector 23 and the water outlet pipe 42 can be sealed by two second sealing rings 25. Two first sealing grooves and two second sealing grooves can be correspondingly provided on the water outlet connector 23. The two first sealing grooves are used to install the two first sealing rings 24. The two second sealing grooves are used to install the two second sealing rings 25.

[0085] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the control valve 22 may include a valve core sleeve 222, a valve core 221, a pressure cap 223, and a ball cap 224. The valve core 221 is connected to the water inlet 211 and is used to control the water flow rate and temperature in the water circuit. The valve core sleeve 222 and the pressure cap 223 are used to install and fix the valve core 221. The ball cap 224 is a decorative part.

[0086] In one exemplary embodiment, the partition 13 has an extension plate 133 protruding from its surface facing the first region 14, and the extension plate 133 extends in a direction away from the second region 15. A latch 134 is provided at the end of the extension plate 133 away from the second region 15, and the latch 134 is configured to restrict the movement of the water-passing body 21 in the direction away from the second region 15. A groove 2128 is formed by a partial recess on the outer wall of the connecting portion 212.

[0087] Thus, the connecting part 212 is engaged with the partition 13 via the snap fastener 134. When the snap fastener 134 engages with the slot 2128, the water-passing body 21 is blocked by the partition 13, preventing it from moving closer to the second region 15; and due to the restriction of the snap fastener 134 and the slot 2128, the water-passing body 21 also cannot move away from the second region 15. In this way, the position of the water-passing body 21 is fixed, and the engagement assembly between the water-passing body 21 and the partition 13 is completed.

[0088] The buckle 134 is mounted on the extension plate 133, which acts as an elastic arm. During the assembly of the water-passing body 21, it can undergo appropriate elastic deformation, and after the water-passing body 21 is assembled, it can be reset to ensure that the buckle 134 is locked in the slot 2128. This helps to reduce the resistance encountered by the water-passing body 21 during assembly and reduces the assembly difficulty of the water-passing body 21.

[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, there are two extension plates 133, which are arranged radially opposite to each other along the connecting portion 212.

[0090] This helps to balance the forces between the water-passing body 21 and the baffle 13, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the water-passing body 21 and the baffle 13.

[0091] When the main body 21 is installed in place, the buckles 134 on the two extension plates 133 can hold the main body 21 tightly, thus providing a reliable fixation for the main body 21.

[0092] For example, the two extension plates 133 are symmetrically arranged.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, the slot 2128 extends along the length direction of the connecting portion 212, forming a strip-shaped slot 2128. The latch 134 extends along the length direction of the connecting portion 212, forming a strip-shaped latch 134, as shown below. Figure 11 As shown.

[0094] This helps to increase the contact area between the buckle 134 and the slot 2128, which in turn helps to further improve the connection reliability between the water-passing body 21 and the partition 13.

[0095] Of course, the card slot 2128 may not be a continuous elongated card slot 2128, but may include multiple spaced sub-card slots 2128. The buckle 134 may also be a continuously arranged elongated buckle 134, or may include multiple spaced sub-buckles 134.

[0096] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 13As shown, the outer wall of the connecting portion 212 includes a first arcuate wall 2121, a first stepped straight wall 2123, a second arcuate wall 2122, and a second stepped straight wall 2124 connected end to end. The first arcuate wall 2121 and the second arcuate wall 2122 are arranged in a direction from the second region 15 to the first region 14.

[0097] The first-step straight wall 2123 and the second-step straight wall 2124 are symmetrically arranged, and each of the first-step straight wall 2123 and the second-step straight wall 2124 includes a first straight wall 2125, a second straight wall 2126 and a third straight wall 2127 that are connected by a series of turns, as shown. Figure 14 As shown. The first straight wall 2125 is connected to the first arc wall 2121, and the second straight wall 2126 is connected to the second arc wall 2122.

[0098] like Figure 14 As shown, the third straight wall 2127 is located radially inside the first straight wall 2125, and the second straight wall 2126 and the third straight wall 2127 together form the slot 2128.

[0099] In this way, the structure of the connecting part 212 is relatively regular, which makes it easy to process and shape.

[0100] In one exemplary embodiment, the partition 13 and the housing 1 are an integral structure, such as... Figure 11 As shown.

[0101] This eliminates the assembly process between the partition 13 and the shell 1, which helps reduce the assembly difficulty of the concealed water outlet control device and also improves the connection reliability between the shell 1 and the partition 13.

[0102] The partition 13 and the shell 1 can be integrally formed by injection molding, die casting or other methods.

[0103] In another exemplary embodiment, the partition 13 and the housing 1 are separate assembly structures.

[0104] In other words, after the partition 13 and the shell 1 are formed separately, they can be assembled together and fixed together by means of screws, clips, etc.

[0105] In one exemplary embodiment, the housing 1 includes: a side panel 11 and a protective cover 12, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0106] The partition 13 is located inside and connected to the side panel 11. The protective cover 12 is detachably connected to one end of the side panel 11 and covers the end of the second region 15 away from the first region 14. The protective cover 12 is positioned outside the mounting carrier 53.

[0107] The housing 1 comprises two parts: a side panel 11 and a protective cover 12. One end of the housing 1 (i.e., the end of the first region 14 away from the second region 15) is open, while the other end of the housing 1 (i.e., the end of the second region 15 away from the first region 14) is closed. During assembly, the water-passing body 21 can be inserted into the first region 14 from the end of the side panel 11 away from the protective cover 12. Components such as the control valve 22 and the water outlet connector 23 can be inserted into the second region 15 from the end of the side panel 11 near the protective cover 12, and then the protective cover 12 can be closed. The installation process is simple and convenient.

[0108] In one example, the partition 13 is also provided with mounting holes 132, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown. The mounting hole 132 is provided corresponding to the connecting part 212, and the hole wall of the mounting hole 132 extends away from the second region 15 to form an extension plate 133.

[0109] like Figure 13 As shown, the connecting portion 212 of the water-passing body 21 passes through the mounting hole 132. Part of the connecting portion 212 is confined within the mounting hole 132 and is engaged with the partition plate 13 by a snap fastener 134. The first arcuate wall 2121 of the connecting portion 212 is at least partially located within the mounting hole 132.

[0110] In one example, the side panel 11 is a one-piece structure, such as... Figure 11 As shown.

[0111] This helps to improve the strength of the side panel 11, thereby improving the reliability of the side panel 11 in use, and can also further reduce the risk of cement seeping into the shell 1.

[0112] The side panel 11 can be integrally formed by injection molding, die casting, or other methods.

[0113] In one example, along the direction from the first region 14 to the second region 15, the side panel 11 includes a concealed part 111, a positioning part 112, and an extension part 113 connected in sequence, such as Figure 3 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 As shown. The partition 13 is disposed in the concealed part 111, and the protective cover 12 is connected to the extension part 113. The concealed part 111 and the positioning part 112 are disposed within the mounting carrier 53, and the extension part 113 is disposed outside the mounting carrier 53.

[0114] The concealed part 111 is the portion of the housing 1 completely embedded within the mounting carrier 53. The positioning part 112 is the portion of the housing 1 that fits into the tile. The extension part 113 is the portion of the housing 1 that extends out of the mounting carrier 53. This arrangement ensures that the housing 1 provides adequate protection for the internal components (especially those within the second area 15).

[0115] The extension 113 is cut off after the installation carrier 53 is finished (i.e., after the cement is filled and the tiles are installed), ensuring that one end of the shell 1 on the outer wall of the installation carrier 53 is open, such as... Figure 16 As shown, this is to expose the internal components, which facilitates the assembly of external parts such as the decorative cover 41, the water outlet pipe 42, and the handle 43.

[0116] In one example, the cross-sectional areas of the concealed portion 111 and the extension portion 113 are substantially equal. The outer wall surface of the positioning portion 112 is textured. The side panel 11 is a generally uniformly thick cylindrical structure with a racetrack-shaped cross-section.

[0117] In one example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, one of the extension 113 and the protective cover 12 is provided with a limiting protrusion 1131, and the other is provided with a limiting groove 121. The limiting protrusion 1131 and the limiting groove 121 are interference-fitted to fix the protective cover 12 and the extension 113.

[0118] During assembly, the protective cover 12 is simply placed on the side panel 11 and pressed tightly, ensuring that the limiting protrusion 1131 is inserted into the limiting groove 121. Therefore, this solution simplifies the structure of the side panel 11 and the protective cover 12, reduces the assembly difficulty of the side panel 11 and the protective cover 12, and thus helps to reduce the cost of the product.

[0119] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side panel 11 is provided with multiple limiting protrusions 1131 spaced circumferentially, and the protective cover 12 is provided with limiting grooves 121 along its edge, such as... Figure 11 As shown, multiple limiting protrusions 1131 are interference-fitted with limiting grooves 121.

[0120] The side panel 11 and the protective cover 12 can also be fitted together by a stop so that the outer wall of the side panel 11 is flush with the outer wall of the protective cover 12.

[0121] In one example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 12 has a mounting boss 122 on the surface away from the side panel 11. The concealed water outlet control device 2 also includes a level 3 located on the mounting boss 122. Figure 2 As shown.

[0122] This helps ensure that the concealed water outlet control device 2 is installed horizontally, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the product.

[0123] In another exemplary embodiment, the housing 1 includes: side panels 11 and at least one cover 16, such as Figure 18 As shown.

[0124] Among them, such as Figure 19 As shown, partition 13 covers one end of side panel 11 and is connected to side panel 11. Side panel 11 and partition 13 together enclose the first area 14.

[0125] The cover 16 is connected to the partition 13 and together with the partition 13 encloses the second region 15. The end of the cover 16 near the partition 13 is connected to the clearance hole 131 to connect the first region 14 and the second region 15, and the end of the cover 16 away from the partition 13 is closed to close the end of the second region 15 away from the partition 13.

[0126] Compared to the aforementioned embodiment where the housing 1 includes a side panel 11 and a protective cover 12, the housing 1 in this embodiment is relatively smaller. The partition 13 is not located inside the housing 1, but rather between the side panel 11 and the cover 16, forming part of the appearance of the housing 1. During assembly, the water control device 2 is assembled as a module and inserted into the housing 1 together from the open end of the side panel 11 (i.e., the end away from the second region 15), making assembly relatively convenient.

[0127] In one example, such as Figure 19 As shown, along the direction from the first region 14 to the second region 15, the cover 16 includes a positioning part 112 and an extension part 113 connected in sequence. The side panel 11 and the positioning part 112 are arranged to be embedded in the mounting carrier, and the extension part 113 is arranged to be located outside the mounting carrier.

[0128] In this design, the side panel 11 is equivalent to the concealed mounting part 111, which is the part of the housing 1 completely embedded in the mounting carrier. The positioning part 112 is the part of the housing 1 that fits into the tile. The extension part 113 is the part of the housing 1 that extends out of the mounting carrier. This arrangement ensures that the housing 1 provides adequate protection for the internal components (especially the components in the second area 15).

[0129] The extension 113 is cut off after the installation carrier is finished (i.e., after the cement is filled and the tiles are laid), ensuring that the end of the shell 1 on the outer wall of the installation carrier is open, as shown in the figure, so as to expose the internal components and facilitate the assembly of external parts such as decorative covers, water outlet pipes, and handles.

[0130] In one example, such as Figure 19 As shown, the cross-sectional areas of the positioning part 112 and the extension part 113 are basically equal. The outer wall surface of the positioning part 112 is textured. The side panel 11 is a cylindrical structure with a uniform thickness and a racetrack-shaped cross-section.

[0131] In one example, the side panel 11, the cover 16, and the partition 13 are an integral structure, such as Figure 19 As shown.

[0132] This helps to improve the connection strength of the side panel 11, partition 13, and cover 16, thereby improving the reliability of the shell 1 and further reducing the risk of cement seeping into the shell 1.

[0133] The shell 1 can be integrally formed by injection molding, die casting or other methods.

[0134] In one example, the side panel 11 is provided with a mounting groove 114, such as Figure 18 As shown, the concealed water outlet control device 2 also includes a level 3 installed in the installation groove 114.

[0135] This helps ensure the concealed water outlet control device 2 is installed horizontally, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the product. In one example, there are at least two covers 16, one for installing the control valve and one for installing the water outlet connector, such as... Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown.

[0136] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the concealed water outlet control device 2 also includes: a decorative cover 41, a water outlet pipe 42, and an operating component (such as a handle 43).

[0137] The decorative cover 41 is configured such that the cover housing 1 is located at the open end of the outer wall of the mounting carrier 53. The decorative cover 41 has at least one first through hole 411 and at least one second through hole 412, such as... Figure 17 As shown. The first through hole 411 is used to install the water outlet pipe 42, and the second through hole 412 is used to install the handle 43, knob, button and other operating parts.

[0138] The water outlet pipe 42 is installed at the first through hole 411 and is connected to the water outlet of the water control device 2.

[0139] The handle 43 and other operating components are installed at the second through hole 412 and connected to the control valve 22.

[0140] The water outlet pipe 42 can be inserted into the first through hole 411, and the water outlet connector 23 can be inserted into the water outlet pipe 42. The water outlet pipe 42 and the water outlet connector 23 are fixed together by screws 46. The control valve 22 can pass through the second through hole 412 and be fixed to the handle 43 by screws 46. An identification buckle 45 can also be set on the handle 43 and other operating parts. An aerator 44 can also be set at the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 to control the shape of the water spray.

[0141] This application also provides a water outlet device (not shown in the figure), which includes the water outlet control device 2 installed in any of the above embodiments, and thus has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, the water outlet device is a shower water outlet device, a washbasin water outlet device or a kitchen water outlet device.
