Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of faucets, and in particular to a concealed faucet capable of quickly locating a panel installation position. Background Art

[0002] Most concealed wall-mounted faucets currently on the market have pre-buried parts with varying depths due to uneven depths during installation. This causes the panel to protrude from the tile surface or the provided screws to fail to secure the panel. Most adjustable panel installation depths rely on cutting the plastic thread length, a method that requires highly specialized tools. Furthermore, when cutting the plastic thread length, the length must be measured and trimmed according to installation requirements. This can easily lead to errors during measurement and cannot guarantee a level cut, resulting in the panel becoming stuck when pressed, not being flush with the frame after closing, panel falling off, insecure fixings, and tilting.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a new concealed faucet that can quickly locate the panel installation position to overcome the defects in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a concealed faucet that can quickly locate the panel installation position. The concealed faucet utilizes the principle of thread lifting to convert rotational motion into up and down motion of parts; at the same time, utilizing the principle of elastic deformation recovery of parts, the two parts are buckled into one, so that the rotation of one part is converted into its own up and down movement, while driving the other part to move up and down, thereby achieving the operation conversion with a minimum of parts, reducing manufacturing costs, and reducing the risk of abnormalities; in addition, the positioning of the panel is converted into the positioning of the pressure cover, and the positioning can be quickly and accurately found without the aid of dimensional measuring tools, and the positioning is highly accurate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1 To the attached Figure 10 And specific embodiments, the present invention is discussed in detail:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a concealed faucet that can quickly locate the panel installation position, which includes:

[0038] The main body 1 has a valve core screw 10 at its center;

[0039] An auxiliary positioning plate 2, the auxiliary positioning plate 2 being arranged on the main body 1;

[0040] A gland 3 is sleeved on the valve core screw 10. The gland 3 is a hollow structure with a buckle position 30 provided inside. A pressing shaft 31 is provided on the top of the gland 3. The pressing shaft 31 is provided above the auxiliary positioning plate 2 and cooperates with the upper surface of the auxiliary positioning plate 2.

[0041] The adjusting block 4 includes a threaded rotating portion 40 and an elastic claw portion 41. The threaded rotating portion 40 of the adjusting block 4 is sleeved on the valve core screw 10 and is threadedly connected to the valve core screw 10. The elastic claw portion 41 of the adjusting block 4 is inserted into and installed in the pressure cover 3 and cooperates with the buckle position 30 in the pressure cover 3; and the rotation of the adjusting block 4 drives the up and down adjustment of the pressure cover 3 so that the pressure shaft 31 is stopped on the upper surface of the auxiliary positioning plate 2, and the upper surface of the adjusting block 4 is flush with the upper surface of the valve core screw 10.

[0042] The concealed faucet, which can quickly locate its panel mounting position, utilizes the principle of threaded lifting to convert the rotational motion of the adjustment block 4 into vertical movement. The elastic claw portion 41 of the adjustment block 4 engages the gland 3, thereby driving the gland 3 up and down, converting the rotational motion into vertical motion of the components. Furthermore, utilizing the principle of elastic recovery of components, the two components are fastened together, allowing the rotation of one component to be converted into its own vertical movement, while simultaneously driving the vertical movement of the other component. This achieves operational conversion with a minimum number of components, reducing manufacturing costs and the risk of malfunctions.

[0043] At the same time, the concealed faucet converts the positioning of the panel 5 into the positioning of the pressure cover 3, and can quickly find the correct positioning without the aid of dimensional measuring tools. The positioning is highly accurate and the error is small. Correspondingly, the installation conditions are simplified and the installation cost and time are reduced.

[0044] In addition, the concealed faucet can deal with the problem of inconsistent pre-embedded main body 1, and install the panel 5 for each main body 1 in a targeted manner; it is convenient for maintenance and replacement when abnormalities occur. After removal and before reinstalling the panel 5, you only need to level the adjustment block 4 to be flush with the originally cut valve core screw 10, and there is no need to re-measure and reposition, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0045] Furthermore, the concealed faucet also includes a panel 5. After removing the auxiliary positioning plate 2, the panel 5 is snap-mounted on the main body 1 and covers the pressure cover 3 and the adjusting block 4. At this time, the upper surface of the adjusting block 4 has been adjusted to be flush with the upper surface of the valve core screw 10, and then the panel 5 is snap-mounted on the main body 1 to achieve fixed installation of the panel 5.

[0046] Furthermore, a positioning boss 11 is formed on the main body 1, a positioning groove 20 is opened on the lower surface of the auxiliary positioning plate 2, and the positioning groove 20 of the auxiliary positioning plate 2 is installed at the positioning boss 11 to achieve the positioning installation of the auxiliary positioning plate 2 and improve the installation accuracy.

[0047] Specifically, the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of first guide grooves 12 spaced apart from each other; the auxiliary positioning plate 2 is provided with a plurality of second guide grooves 21 corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the first guide grooves 12. A plurality of guide ribs 32 spaced apart are formed on the outer wall surface of the gland 3. The positions of the guide ribs 32 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the second guide grooves 21, so that the guide ribs 32 of the gland 2 can be inserted and installed into the first guide grooves 12 and the second guide grooves 21 of the main body 1 and the auxiliary positioning plate 2, thereby achieving the positioning and installation of the gland 3. In this embodiment, three first guide grooves 12, three second guide grooves 21, and three guide ribs 32 are each provided, arranged in a triangular shape.

[0048] A positioning groove 20 is designed below the auxiliary positioning plate 2, which mates with the positioning boss 11 on the main body 1. Once installed, this ensures that the second guide groove 21 on the auxiliary positioning plate 2 is aligned with the first guide groove 12 on the main body 1. Furthermore, the gland 3 of the present invention is designed with guide ribs 32. These ribs 32 mate with the second guide groove 21 on the auxiliary positioning plate 2 and the first guide groove 12 on the main body 1, preventing the gland 3 from rotating and allowing it to move only up and down within the grooves. The internal threads of the adjustment block 4 convert rotational motion into up and down movement, thereby driving the gland 3 up and down.

[0049] Furthermore, a gland boss 33 is formed on the top of the gland 3, and the lower surface of the threaded rotating portion 40 is abutted against the upper surface of the gland boss 33 of the gland 3, facilitating the positioning and installation of the adjustment block 4. Specifically, the elastic claw portion 41 is in the form of a barb, multiple portions are arranged at intervals, and are integrally formed with the threaded rotating portion 40, making it easy to manufacture.

[0050] In this embodiment, the outer circumference of the threaded rotating portion 40 of the adjusting block 4 is toothed, or anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer circumference of the threaded rotating portion 40 of the adjusting block 4 to facilitate the hand-held rotation operation of the adjusting block 4.

[0051] The installation process of the concealed faucet that can quickly locate the panel installation position in the present invention is roughly as follows:

[0052] 1. After the main body 1 is installed, install the auxiliary positioning plate 2. A positioning boss 11 is reserved on the main body 1, and the positioning groove 20 of the auxiliary positioning plate 2 needs to be aligned with the positioning boss 11 of the main body 1.

[0053] 2. Install the adjustment block 4 into the gland 3. The adjustment block 4 is designed with an elastic claw portion 41, which can be elastically deformed and installed through the mounting hole of the gland 3. When installed in place, the elastic claw portion 41 recovers its deformation, and the elastic claw portion 41 and the buckle portion 30 are engaged with each other to form an inverted buckle, which just buckles the buckle portion 30 of the gland 3, so that the adjustment block 4 will not be easily loosened and can rotate coaxially.

[0054] 3. The adjusting block 4 is designed with a thread, and the thread specification is consistent with the thread of the valve core screw 10. The rotational motion of the adjusting block 4 is converted into the up and down motion of the adjusting block 4 by using the thread lifting principle; and the elastic claw portion 41 of the adjusting block 4 buckles the pressure cover 3, thereby driving the pressure cover 3 to move up and down.

[0055] 4. Press the valve core screw 10 of the main body 1 to make it pop out and reach the maximum pop-up stroke state.

[0056] 5. Rotate the adjusting block 4 until the pressing shafts 31 on both sides of the pressing cover 3 press onto the upper surface of the auxiliary positioning plate 2. At this time, the panel 5 is in the best installation state.

[0057] 6. Use a tool to shorten the valve core screw 10 until it is flush with the adjustment block, that is, the upper surface of the adjustment block 4 is flush with the upper surface of the valve core screw 10.

[0058] 7. Pull out the auxiliary positioning block 2 from the side to remove the auxiliary positioning plate 2 and make room for the movement of the panel 5; then install the panel 5 and the entire product can be installed.

[0059] The present invention is further described above with the aid of specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
