Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of faucet technology, and specifically relates to an artificial stone faucet and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] For example, Chinese utility model patent number 201520540870.8, patent name is a faucet, which uses a copper water flow component as a pre-embedded part. The water flow component is made of refined copper material and is made in one piece. It includes a valve core cavity seat, a water pipe and a water outlet. The water pipe is connected between the valve core cavity seat and the water outlet. The faucet body is wrapped with artificial stone.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent number 202510964278.9, entitled "An Environmentally Friendly Artificial Stone Faucet, a Mold for Making the Faucet, and a Processing Method," discloses a faucet body made of artificial stone. The faucet body contains a plastic water-passing component. The water-passing component includes an integrally formed spout and a first pipe, an integrally formed mounting component, and a second pipe. The first and second pipes are sleeved together to form a connecting pipe between the mounting component and the spout. The mounting component includes a valve core, a connecting part, and a mounting part connected in sequence. The valve core has a valve core cavity, and the mounting part has a mounting cavity. The bottom of the valve core cavity facing the connecting part has two connecting holes, and the bottom of the mounting part cavity facing the connecting part has two threaded mounting holes, each threaded mounting hole communicating one-to-one with the two connecting holes. The cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting part is... The cross-sectional area of ​​the valve core is smaller than that of the mounting part, resulting in a mounting assembly with a smaller middle and larger ends. One side of the connecting part has an enlarged portion, and the other side has a reinforcing portion. The two threaded mounting holes are located on either side of the centerline of the connecting part. The center of the two connecting holes is offset towards the enlarged portion relative to the center of the two threaded mounting holes, and the enlarged portion is connected to the valve core. The reinforcing portion is also connected to the valve core to prevent the bottom surface of the valve core cavity from deforming during the hardening of the artificial stone, which would lead to a poor seal between the bottom surface of the valve core cavity and the valve core. Experiments showed that without the reinforcing and enlarged portions, the bottom surface of the valve core cavity bulged locally, resulting in poor sealing after mating with the valve core, failing to meet the requirements for qualified products, and a high defect rate. However, with the reinforcing and enlarged portions, the bottom surface of the valve core cavity was flat, resulting in good sealing after mating with the valve core and a low defect rate.

[0004] The aforementioned patents all disclose an integrally molded artificial stone faucet shell outside the water-passing component. However, because the water-passing component has water-passing channels that are connected in the x, y, and z directions and are irregular in shape; the artificial stone faucet shell is also connected in the x, y, and z directions and has irregular channels; and the conventional faucet shape is also irregular, based on the above three limitations, existing artificial stone faucets can only be integrally molded by casting. However, the cast artificial stone shell has problems such as low surface hardness, weak impact resistance, and poor corrosion resistance. Based on this, the present invention provides a new type of faucet structure that is die-cast using artificial stone improved material and spliced ​​with glue. This new structure can also achieve a flat bottom surface of the valve core cavity, good sealing effect after mating with the valve core, and low defect rate.

[0005] During the research and development process, after splicing with commercially available glue, and then spraying, air drying or high-temperature drying, it is well known that the quality of high-temperature baked paint is higher than that of naturally air-dried paint. High-temperature baking is preferred. However, the glue joints all collapse and become obvious, affecting the product quality. To solve this problem, for example, Chinese invention patent number 201610395555.X, patent name is a production process and equipment for an environmentally friendly material faucet; and Chinese invention patent number 201710767991.X, patent name is a production process for an environmentally friendly material faucet. Both of these patents disclose that the faucet is made of one or more of the following materials: FCM, SMC, BMC, etc., including the following steps: (1) Fix the various parts of the mold and heat the mold to 155℃. 165℃; (2) The raw material in the barrel is pushed into the mold through the flow channel by the stacking rod; (3) After the raw material is heated and formed, the mold is separated, the four core-pulling sliders are pulled out, and then the formed product is taken out. The entire faucet is die-cast in one piece without water-passing components. Therefore, this technical solution can only manufacture faucets with regular shape and regular channel. In addition, the faucets made by the existing artificial stone die-casting process also have low surface hardness, weak drop resistance and poor corrosion resistance.

[0006] Although the above technical solution solves the problem of glue collapse, the interior of the faucet shell is also connected in the x, y, and z directions, and the channels are irregular; the shape of a conventional faucet is also irregular. Based on the above two limitations, the technical solution of the patent entitled "A Production Process and Equipment for an Environmentally Friendly Material Faucet" cannot solve the problem of integral die casting of conventional faucets, which is very limited.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention also provides a solution to prevent the glue joint from collapsing after high-temperature baking, thus affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing an artificial stone faucet and its manufacturing process. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to propose a new type of faucet structure. Existing artificial stone faucets have low surface hardness, weak impact resistance, and poor corrosion resistance. The glue used in the market is prone to collapse after high-temperature baking, and there are also limitations of the existing one-piece die-casting process.

[0009] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: an artificial stone faucet, including a water-passing component, and two opposing, die-cast faucet shells, the water-passing component being disposed inside the two faucet shells, the two faucet shells being fixed together by glue and the water-passing component being snapped between the two faucet shells.

[0010] Furthermore, the raw materials for the faucet shell are composed of the following components and are proportioned in the following weight ratios: 30-50 parts of resin I, 120-200 parts of calcium carbonate powder, 20-60 parts of filamentous glass fiber, 10-15 parts of metal powder I, 8-10 parts of thickener, 2-4 parts of curing agent, and 30-50 parts of low-shrinkage agent.

[0018] b: Add 10-15 parts of curing agent to one group to obtain group A adhesive; add accelerator to the other group to obtain group B adhesive;

[0019] c: Before use, mix the A group adhesive and the B group adhesive evenly to obtain the adhesive.

[0020] Furthermore, resin I is one or more of acrylic resin, styrene-acrylic resin, silicone-acrylic resin, and vinyl acetate-acrylic resin; and resin II is one or more of epoxy resin, acrylic resin, and polyurethane resin.

[0021] Furthermore, metal powder I is iron powder, copper powder, or stainless steel powder, and metal powder II is iron powder, copper powder, or stainless steel powder.

[0022] Furthermore, one or both of the two faucet housings have a receiving groove on their edges for holding glue.

[0023] Furthermore, the water-passing assembly includes a water outlet, a connecting pipe, and an installation component connected in sequence. After the two faucet housings are joined together, a first snap-fit ​​part for snapping and fixing the water outlet, a second snap-fit ​​part for snapping and fixing the installation component, and a receiving cavity for accommodating the connecting pipe are formed inside. After the two faucet housings are joined together, the water-passing assembly is fixed inside the two faucet housings.

[0039] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: An artificial stone faucet includes a water-passing component 1 and two opposing, die-cast faucet shells 2. The two faucet shells 2 can be identical, i.e., made from one mold, or they can be different, made from two molds. In this embodiment, one faucet shell 2 is provided with a post, and the other faucet shell 2 is provided with a hole, for the purpose of facilitating docking and positioning. The water-passing component 1 is provided inside the two faucet shells 2. The two faucet shells 2 are fixed together by glue, and the water-passing component 1 is snapped between the two faucet shells 2.

[0042] The two faucet shells 2 of this invention are integrally formed by die casting. The new structure of splicing by glue is used to fix the water flow component 1. This invention has a simple structure and is easy to install. It is a faucet with a brand-new idea and structure.

[0043] One or both of the two faucet shells 2 have a receiving groove 21 on their edges for holding glue. When the glue is filled into the receiving groove 21, the joint is more secure and the glue gap is smaller.

[0044] The water-passing assembly 1 includes a spout 11, a connecting pipe 12, and an installation assembly 13 connected in sequence. After the two faucet shells 2 are joined together, a first snap-fit ​​part 22 for snapping and fixing the spout 11, a second snap-fit ​​part 23 for snapping and fixing the installation assembly 13, and a receiving cavity 24 for accommodating the connecting pipe 12 are formed inside. Through the above design, after the two faucet shells 2 are joined together, the snap-fit ​​of the water-passing assembly 1 fixes the water-passing assembly 1 inside the two faucet shells 2, making the water-passing assembly 1 more stable. The new structure of glued splicing ensures that the bottom surface of the valve core cavity is flat, without deviation or tilting, and the sealing effect after mating with the valve core is good, with a low defect rate. The present invention has a simple structure and is easy to install. It is a faucet with a brand-new idea and structure, and solves the limitations of the existing integrated die-casting process.

[0045] In this embodiment, the water-passing component 1 also includes a threaded sleeve 14, which is snapped into the two faucet housings 2. For some models, the threaded sleeve 14 is directly integrally formed on the mounting component 13.

[0046] The raw materials for the faucet housing 2 are composed of the following components and are formulated in the following weight proportions: 30-50 parts of resin I, 120-200 parts of calcium carbonate powder, 20-60 parts of filamentous glass fiber, 10-15 parts of metal powder I, 8-10 parts of thickener, 2-4 parts of curing agent, and 30-50 parts of low shrinkage agent.

[0047] The raw material proportioning steps for the faucet shell 2 are as follows:

[0049] II: Mix 120-200 parts of calcium carbonate powder, 20-60 parts of fibrous glass fiber, and 10-15 parts of metal powder I and stir until homogeneous;

[0050] III: Mix and stir steps I and II until homogeneous to obtain the raw material for faucet shell 2.

[0051] Through the above design, the faucet shell 2 after die casting has a hardness before painting, a hardness after painting, an energy resistance, and a corrosion resistance that are unmatched by existing artificial stone faucets.

[0052] The adhesive is composed of the following components and formulated in the following weight ratios: 30-50 parts of resin II, 10-12 parts of talc, 10-15 parts of metal powder II, 10-15 parts of curing agent, and 3-5 parts of accelerator.

[0053] The manufacturing steps of the adhesive are as follows:

[0054] a: Mix 30-50 parts of resin II, 10-12 parts of talc powder and 10-15 parts of metal powder II evenly, and divide into two groups;

[0055] b: Add 10-15 parts of curing agent to one group to obtain group A adhesive; add accelerator to the other group to obtain group B adhesive;

[0056] c: Before use, mix the A group adhesive and the B group adhesive evenly to obtain the adhesive.

[0057] The above design ensures that the glued joints do not collapse after the paint has dried, resulting in a smoother surface and no visible seams.

[0058] Wherein, resin I is one or more of acrylic resin, styrene-acrylic resin, silicone-acrylic resin, and vinyl acetate-acrylic resin; and resin II is one or more of epoxy resin, acrylic resin, and polyurethane resin.

[0059] Among them, metal powder I includes, but is not limited to, iron powder, and metal powder II includes, but is not limited to, iron powder, copper powder, and stainless steel powder.
