[0008] Preferably, an upper cover is provided on the upper port of the light-transmitting tube body. When the water-passing retaining tube is locked with the locking piece, the water-passing retaining tube is guided through the upper cover and the light-transmitting tube body in sequence, and abuts against the upper cover for sealing, thereby closing the upper port of the light-transmitting tube body, and driving the light-transmitting tube body to move tightly toward the direction of the lower shell through the upper cover, so that the light-transmitting tube body is stopped and constrained above the lower shell.

[0009] Preferably, the upper cover has a central opening, and a supporting step is provided on the inner circumference of the opening, and the water-passing retaining tube abuts against the supporting step to seal with the upper cover.

[0015] 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:

[0016] (1) The utility model provides a luminous faucet with a simple structure and a reasonable and easy-to-implement design. The luminous bodies are built into the faucet and isolated from the water flow through a water-passing baffle pipe, thereby preventing the luminous bodies from contacting the water flow and being damaged, thereby effectively extending the service life of the product. When the light is on, the light can pass through the wall of the entire light-transmitting tube body and shine to the outside, that is, the outer circumference of the wall of the entire light-transmitting tube body will be lit, the light scattering range is wider, the visual impact is stronger, the area around the faucet can be illuminated, and the aesthetics are stronger.

[0017] (2) In the present technical solution, since the light-transmitting tube body has an independent inner cavity, when manufacturing the product, the manufacturer can choose light-emitting bodies of different colors to be placed inside the inner cavity for color matching, so that the outer ring of the light-transmitting tube body produces a more different eye-catching visual effect. The tone of the ambient light can be adjusted by itself, making the product more powerful and more conducive to market competition.

[0018] (3) In the present technical solution, the setting of the water-passing baffle tube has multiple effects: first, it can play a role in directly conducting the water flow between the faucet pipe and the valve core, blocking and isolating the water flow, and preventing the light-emitting body from contacting the water flow; second, the water-passing baffle tube is built into the light-transmitting tube body and is detachably locked with the locking piece, so that the light-transmitting tube body is effectively stopped and restrained above the lower shell body, preventing the light-transmitting tube body from detaching from the lower shell body to ensure the integrity of the product and save a certain amount of space; third, because the water-passing baffle tube is built into the light-transmitting tube body, it can serve as a certain reference for the arrangement of the light-emitting body, that is, multiple light-emitting bodies are distributed at the peripheral position of the water-passing baffle tube in an equidistant manner or in a manner of being arranged around the water-passing baffle tube. When the light-emitting body emits light, the light can be relatively evenly distributed through the tube wall of the light-transmitting tube body, and will not be concentrated in one position to cause the local brightness to be too high or too low, resulting in uneven brightness. Its light transmission effect is uniform and the aesthetics is guaranteed.

[0019] (4) In the present technical solution, the water-passing retaining pipe and the locking member are screwed together, which has higher installation efficiency and is easier to process.

[0020] (5) In the present technical solution, the upper port of the light-transmitting tube body is closed by directly driving an upper cover to move through the locking member, thereby ensuring the sealing of the inner cavity of the light-transmitting tube body and preventing the external liquid from splashing and contaminating the light-emitting body in the light-transmitting tube body; wherein the locking member is not in direct contact with the light-transmitting tube body, but contacts with the upper cover to drive the light-transmitting tube body to move toward the lower shell body, so that the light-transmitting tube body is stopped and constrained above the lower shell body. The spacing contact of the locking member can effectively evenly transmit the force to the light-transmitting tube body, thereby preventing the light-transmitting tube body from being directly subjected to force and causing deformation or cracking.

[0021] (6) In this technical solution, the power generation component mainly adopts the traditional hydroelectric power generation method, which supplies power to the faucet temperature control digital display and the light-emitting body, which can effectively save electricity, ensure the endurance of the atmosphere light, and be more environmentally friendly.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 5 .

[0035] This embodiment provides a light-emitting faucet, which has a simple structure, reasonable design and is easy to implement. The light-emitting body, i.e., the atmosphere light, is not easily damaged, the light scattering range is wider, the visual impact is stronger, and the faucet surrounding area can be illuminated. The faucet mainly includes a lower shell 1 and a light-emitting component 2; see Figures 1 to 5 ,in,

[0036] The lower housing 1 has a cavity 11 inside for installing a valve body (not shown); the valve body is mainly used to connect with the external cold and hot water inlet pipes, and control the mixing of cold and hot water to guide the mixed water out of the cavity 11 of the lower housing 1;

[0037] The light-emitting component 2 includes a light-transmitting tube body 21 and at least one light-emitting body (not shown) disposed in the inner cavity 211 of the light-transmitting tube body 21. The light-transmitting tube body 21 is disposed above the lower shell 1, and a free end opening on one side of the light-transmitting tube body 21 is connected to the cavity 11 of the lower shell 1, so that the inner cavity 211 of the light-transmitting tube body 21 is connected to the cavity 11 of the lower shell 1. In this embodiment, the entire tube wall of the light-transmitting tube body 21 is made of a light-transmitting material, which can effectively achieve the purpose of light transmission.

[0038] The water-passing retaining tube 3 is simultaneously guided through the cover body, the light-transmitting tube body 21 and the locking member 12 disposed in the cavity 11 of the lower shell 1 to be detachably locked and matched, so that the cover body and the light-transmitting tube body 21 are both stopped and constrained above the lower shell 1; the two ends of the water-passing retaining tube 3 are also respectively connected with the faucet pipe and the valve body in the cavity 11, that is, the water flow discharged from the valve body outside the cavity 11 of the lower shell 1 will enter the water-passing retaining tube 3; the water-passing retaining tube 3 is also mainly used to provide a reference for the position arrangement of the luminous body, that is, when the luminous body is disposed inside the light-transmitting shell, the luminous body can be disposed around the outer peripheral wall of the water-passing retaining tube 3 and arranged along the length direction of the tube. When the luminous body emits light, the light can pass through the tube wall of the entire light-transmitting shell and scatter light to the surrounding outside, instead of only showing light at the local position of the faucet.

[0039] In this embodiment, the locking piece is mainly located between the inner cavity 211 of the light-transmitting tube body 21 and the cavity 11 of the lower shell body 1, that is, located at the opening position where the lower shell body 1 is connected to the light-transmitting shell. Its arrangement in the interior can save a certain amount of space; the free end of the water-passing baffle tube 3 has an external thread, which can be threadedly engaged with the locking piece after passing through the light-transmitting tube body 21, making it easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper cover 4 is located at the upper end of the light-transmitting tube body 21, and the water-passing retaining tube 3 is sequentially guided through the upper cover 4 and the light-transmitting tube body 21, and abuts against the upper cover 4 for sealing cooperation, thereby closing the upper end of the light-transmitting tube body 21; and the water-passing retaining tube 3 is displaced as it is guided through until it contacts with the locking member for threaded cooperation, and directly drives the light-transmitting tube body 21 to be pressed and displaced toward the direction of the lower shell body 1 through the upper cover 4, so that the light-transmitting tube body 21 is stopped and constrained above the lower shell body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper cover 4 has a central opening with a support step 4A provided on the inner periphery of the opening. The water-passing baffle 3 abuts against the support step 4A and contacts and seals with the upper cover 4 to close the upper end of the inner cavity 211 of the light-transmitting tube body 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lower shell 1 , the light-transmitting tube 21 , and the upper cover 4 are stacked and spliced ​​in sequence, and are fixed into one body through the water-passing baffle 3 .

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to make the sealing effect between the water-passing baffle tube 3 and the supporting step 4A closer and more airtight, the upper cover 4 is inserted into the upper port of the light-transmitting tube body 21 along the axial direction thereof, and is matched with the port of the light-transmitting tube body 21 in an inclined manner.

[0044] In this embodiment, the light-emitting body is mainly a light bar, a light belt or a light block, etc.; when the light-emitting body is in the shape of a "strip" light bar, the light-emitting body can be arranged around the outer periphery of the water-passing baffle tube 3 and set at its outer periphery. When the light-emitting body is on, the emitted light can be directly diffused in the inner cavity 211 of the light-transmitting tube body 21, and the light is scattered to the outside all around through the tube wall of the entire light-transmitting tube body 21. Therefore, when using a "strip" light bar, only one light-emitting body can be used, and it can also be increased according to the brightness requirements.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the light-emitting body is a lamp block and there are multiple light-emitting bodies, each light-emitting body is located at the outer periphery of the water-passing retaining tube 3 and is arranged at equal intervals around the circumference, so as to ensure that the light can pass through the entire tube wall to scatter the bright light around the outside.

[0046] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting tube body 21 is in a "circular tube shape". When the light-emitting body emits light, the light can pass through the circular tube wall and shine outward around its circumference. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting tube body 21 can also have a rectangular or triangular cross-section.

[0047] In this embodiment, a traditional power generation component (not shown) and a temperature control digital display (not shown) arranged on the upper cover 4 are also included. The power generation component is mainly a hydroelectric generator, which is connected to the hot water inlet pipe or the cold water inlet pipe, and can generate electricity when water flows through; the temperature control digital display is mainly in contact with the mixed water discharged by the valve core, and can display the temperature of the mixed water, so that the user can control the valve core to adjust the water temperature by himself; the power generation component is electrically connected to the temperature control digital display and the light-emitting body respectively, and the power generation component supplies power to the light-emitting body and the temperature control digital display respectively through power generation. The faucet product does not need to be charged additionally and powered by batteries, and has a strong endurance.

[0048] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0049] This embodiment takes one installation method as an example, but is not limited to this method.

[0051] Afterwards, the water-passing retaining tube 3 is guided through the upper cover 4 and the light-transmitting tube body 21, and is threadedly engaged with the locking member 12 in the cavity 11 of the lower shell 1, until the water-passing retaining tube 3 and the upper cover 4 are constrained and fixed above the lower shell 1. At this time, the water-passing retaining tube 3 is connected to the threaded through hole of the locking member. During the process of the locking member 12 being threadedly engaged and locked with the water-passing retaining tube 3, it is also necessary to adjust the arrangement position of each light-emitting body or surround a single light-emitting body on the outer periphery of the water-passing retaining tube 3, and then the water-passing retaining tube 3 is completely locked with the locking member 12;

[0052] Finally, the faucet pipe is screwed together with the water-passing retaining tube 3, wherein the faucet pipe can be a fixed straight-discharge pipe or a pull-out pipe, which can be selected by yourself; when the valve core is controlled to discharge water, the water flow can directly enter the faucet pipe through the water-passing retaining tube 3, and the luminous body will never contact the water flow. The utility model has a simple structure, a reasonable design and is easy to implement. The luminous bodies are all built into the faucet and isolated from the water flow through the water-passing retaining tube 3, so as to prevent the luminous bodies from contacting the water flow and being damaged, and the service life of the product is effectively extended; and when the light is on, the light can pass through the wall of the entire light-transmitting tube body 21 to illuminate the surrounding outside, that is, the outer circumference of the wall of the entire light-transmitting tube body 21 will light up, the light scattering range is wider, the visual impact is stronger, it can illuminate the area around the faucet, and the appearance is stronger.

[0053] 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.
