Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of faucet manufacturing, in particular to a split-type combined faucet. Background Art
[0002] At present, many manufacturers usually adopt casting to form the products in one piece when manufacturing conventional faucets. Although the casting method is easy to form products, the product defects caused by casting are also very obvious: first, the outer and inner wall surfaces of the faucet will inevitably have pores, sand sticking or sand inclusions, which seriously damages the product quality. Moreover, these surface quality problems are difficult to find if not paid attention to, and it is extremely difficult to rework and repair them later, especially the cleaning of the inner wall is basically difficult to achieve. As a result, the product can only be discarded and the production cost increases; second, the cast faucet often has tiny cracks on the body, which leads to the gradual expansion of the cracks and water seepage when the faucet is faced with the impact of water flow for a long time, affecting the user's life experience; third, the casting method requires more and more complicated processes, which leads to higher requirements for workers and the labor cost of the product will increase accordingly.
[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the product drawbacks brought by the casting method, existing manufacturers want to use other processes to process products, for example: using stamping to produce faucets. Since the existing stamping processes are to directly plastically deform the blanks to form products, as long as the quality of the blanks is guaranteed, the quality of the products produced can also be guaranteed, and the production efficiency is high, and multiple products can be quickly stamped and formed at one time. However, the existing faucets are all complex integrated closed-loop structures, which not only contain multiple curved surfaces, but also have a hollow water passage inside the faucet. The stamping processing method is difficult to design molds for faucets with integrated closed-loop structures, and the processing difficulty is extremely high and difficult to achieve. In this case, the traditional casting method cannot be replaced by stamping, and the product drawbacks cannot be solved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides a split-type combined faucet, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. It abandons the existing faucet structure that can only be manufactured by one-piece casting, and solves the problem that the existing conventional faucet is difficult to manufacture by stamping. It mainly adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A split-type combined faucet is manufactured by a stamping process and comprises two stamped sheets; the sheets have an adjacent water inlet and a water outlet; the water inlet and the water outlet of at least one of the sheets are fixed by split-type splicing; a splicing surface is formed between the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the sheet, and the two sheets are sealed and connected to each other by the splicing surface to form the faucet.
[0006] Preferably, the water inlet and the water outlet have corresponding welding surfaces respectively, and the water inlet and the water outlet of the sheet are welded in separate parts through the welding surfaces.
[0007] Preferably, the water inlet and the water outlet of one of the sheets are formed in one piece, and the water inlet and the water outlet of the other sheet are welded in separate pieces.
[0008] Preferably, the water inlet and the water outlet of the two sheets are welded by split-type splicing.
[0009] Preferably, after the two sheets are sealed and connected to each other, the two water inlets are mutually enclosed to form a water inlet cavity, and the two water outlets are mutually enclosed to form a water outlet cavity.
[0010] Preferably, there is a supporting sheet between the two sheets, and the thick wall of the supporting sheet is respectively welded and fixed to the inner wall surface of the sheet and the welding surface of the water outlet portion to space the water inlet cavity and the water outlet cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the supporting plate is provided with a water outlet connecting the water inlet cavity and the water outlet cavity.
[0012] Preferably, the water outlet cavity is divided into a water outlet space for draining water and a control space for accommodating a valve body. The valve body can be placed on the supporting sheet through the control space and communicated with the water outlet.
[0013] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) The technical solution of the present invention provides a split-type combined faucet, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. It abandons the existing faucet structure that can only be manufactured by an integral casting process, and solves the problem that the existing conventional faucet is difficult to manufacture by stamping. In the present invention, the tradition that the existing faucets are all integrally formed by a casting process is broken, and the original integral faucet is divided into two split sheet structures that are easy to stamp. After that, the faucet product only needs to be sealed around the multiple sheets. Since the sheets are in sheet shape, the stamping process is very easy to implement, the mold design is simple, and the stamping manufacturing is extremely convenient. Workers only need to know how to place and cut materials. It not only abandons the disadvantages of the traditional casting method, but also can replace it. The manufacturing cost and labor cost are lower. As long as the quality of the blanks is suitable, the product quality of the faucet can always be effectively guaranteed.
[0015] (2) In the present technical solution, although the faucet is changed from an integrated structure to a split structure, which results in an additional step of sealing, the stamping process is used. The advantage of this method is that multiple sheets can be quickly formed at one time, which is highly efficient, and the subsequent sealing step is simple and time-saving. The actual time consumption is close to that of the casting process, so the manufacturer does not need to worry about the time cost.
[0016] (3) In the present technical solution, the sheets are independent entities. If product quality problems such as pores, sand sticking or sand inclusions are found on the outer or inner wall of the sheet, rework and repair are more convenient.
[0017] (4) A faucet usually has a control valve core for controlling the on and off of water. If the control valve core is to be installed, a baffle plate for supporting the control valve core is required inside the faucet. Therefore, in the present technical solution, a supporting plate is also welded between the two plates, and the control valve core can be effectively supported by the supporting plate, so that the control valve core can control the on and off of water.
[0018] (5) Under normal circumstances, it is common knowledge that two integrally formed sheets can be directly welded together to quickly form a faucet product. However, in the actual processing and welding process, it is found that during the sealing and welding process of the two sheets, if the support sheet needs to be welded between the two sheets, it is extremely difficult. The welding gun cannot reach the inside of the two sheets to weld the support sheet, which makes actual operation difficult. Therefore, one of the two sheets in the present technical solution must be split-type, that is, the water outlet needs to be welded to the support sheet first, and then to the water inlet. In this way, the welding gun can directly achieve the welding purpose during welding without having to penetrate into the inside of the sheet. The other sheet can be selected by the manufacturer as split or integrated. Through the structural design and selection method of this sheet, the problem of difficulty in welding the support sheet and difficulty in welding deep into the sheet can be solved.
[0019] (6) In this technical solution, the two pieces are fixed by welding, so there is no need to worry about the aesthetics or the problem of loose welding. The existing welding technology is becoming mature, and even the faucet products fixed by welding have an overall structural strength that is no less than that of the one-piece faucet products. Moreover, the overall structural strength of the faucet products is not high, so the split welding method can also meet the product functions, and there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient structural strength of the welded faucet products. In fact, whether it is the traditional one-piece casting or the split-piece welded faucet in this solution, the outer surface must be modified and sprayed after the product is formed, that is, to make the product look more beautiful. Therefore, even if the outer surface of the welded faucet product has weld marks, the problem of the product being unsightly can be solved through surface processing procedures, and the actual manufacturing process is neither time-consuming nor labor-intensive.

[0031] This embodiment provides a split-type combined faucet, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. It abandons the existing faucet structure that can only be manufactured by an integrated casting process, and solves the problem that the existing conventional faucet is difficult to manufacture by a stamping forming method; it mainly includes two stamping-formed sheets 1; wherein,
[0032] The sheet body 1 has an adjacent water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12; the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of at least one sheet body 1 are fixed by splitting; a splicing surface C is formed between the inner wall surface A and the outer wall surface B of the sheet body 1, and the two sheets 1 are sealed and connected to each other through the splicing surface C to form a faucet. When the two sheets 1 are sealed and connected to each other, the two water inlets 11 are mutually surrounded to form a water inlet cavity 111, and the two water outlets 12 are mutually surrounded to form a water outlet cavity 121.
[0033] In the present embodiment, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of one sheet 1 are integrally formed, and the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of the other sheet 1 are welded by split-type splicing; therefore, in the actual processing, the processing can be carried out according to the selection. First, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of the two sheets 1 are welded by split-type splicing; second, that is, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of one sheet 1 are integrally formed, and the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of the other sheet 1 are welded by split-type splicing. The two processing methods can be selected at will.
[0034] In this embodiment, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 can be stamped separately and then welded into one piece; and the sheet 1 consisting of the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 can also be directly stamped.
[0035] In this embodiment, the water inlet portion 11 and the water outlet portion 12 of the sheet body 1 have corresponding welding surfaces D respectively, and the water inlet portion 11 and the water outlet portion 12 of the sheet body 1 are welded in a split manner through the welding surfaces D.
[0036] In this embodiment, a supporting sheet 2 is welded between the two sheets 1. The supporting sheet 2 is mainly used to support the valve body, and the valve body can be used to control the water supply of the faucet. When the supporting sheet 2 is located inside the faucet, the thick wall of the supporting sheet 2 is respectively welded and fixed to the inner wall surface A of the sheet 1 and the welding surface D of the water outlet 12 (in other embodiments, it can also be welded and fixed to the welding surface D of the water inlet 11) to set the water inlet chamber 111 and the water outlet chamber 121 at intervals; and the supporting sheet 2 is provided with a water outlet 21, which can conduct the water inlet chamber 111 and the water outlet chamber 121, so that the water inlet chamber 111 and the water outlet chamber 121 remain connected.
[0037] In this embodiment, the water outlet cavity 121 is divided into a water outlet space for drainage and a control space for accommodating a valve body. The valve body can be placed on the supporting plate 2 through the control space and connected to the water outlet 21 to facilitate control of turning on or off the water of the faucet.
[0038] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0039] When welding faucet products, the first step is to refer to Figure 1 , respectively stamp out the supporting sheet 2, the water inlet portion 11, the water outlet portion 12 of the sheet body 1 and the integrated whole sheet body 1 to obtain four parts; the second step, see Figure 2 , the sheet body 1, the supporting sheet 2, and the water outlet 12 are fixed by an external mold (not shown), that is, the three are assembled; the third step, see Figure 2 , the thick wall of the supporting surface is welded and fixed to the inner wall surface A of the sheet body 1 and the welding surface D of the water outlet portion 12; the fourth step, see Figure 3 , the water inlet 11 is also limited and fixed by an external mold, that is, the water inlet 11, the water outlet 12 and the sheet 1 are pressed and limited by the mold, and the three are assembled and limited, and finally the three are welded and fixed at one time to form a faucet product. Therefore, the utility model breaks the tradition that existing faucets are all integrally formed faucets through a casting process, and divides the original one-piece faucet into two split sheet 1 structures that are easy to stamp, and then the faucet product can be formed by simply surrounding and sealing multiple sheets 1; because the sheet 1 is in the shape of a sheet, the stamping process is very easy to implement, the mold design is simple, and the stamping manufacturing is extremely convenient. Workers only need to know how to place and unload materials. Not only does it abandon the disadvantages of traditional casting methods, but it can also replace them, with lower manufacturing costs and labor costs. As long as the quality of the blanks is suitable, the product quality of the faucet can always be effectively guaranteed.
[0040] The description of the above specification and embodiments is used to explain the protection scope of the utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Through the enlightenment of the utility model or the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field can obtain modifications, equivalent replacements or other improvements to the embodiments of the utility model or part of the technical features thereof through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
