Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to a faucet body with an installation opening not easy to crack. Background Art

[0002] The faucet body is the main component of the faucet product and is used to install other components. For example, an installation cavity is provided to accommodate a valve body. Then, a limiting member is used to block the installation opening of the installation cavity, thereby fixing the valve body in the installation cavity. Currently, for most faucet bodies on the market, screw threads are provided on the inner ring of the installation opening of the installation cavity, and external screw threads are provided on the outer periphery of the limiting member. During installation, the limiting member is screwed into the installation opening of the installation cavity through the threads. The installation structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble. However, with such an installation structure, when the limiting member is screwed into the installation opening, there is a tendency to expand the installation opening, resulting in a risk of cracking of the installation opening. Therefore, many faucet bodies adopt materials with higher strength or thicker structural designs, resulting in an increase in the cost of the faucet body. For this reason, the utility model provides a structure with an installation opening not easy to crack to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0014] Preferably, the main body adopts an integrally formed structure, which can reduce subsequent assembly steps and assembly costs.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing cap is made of fiberglass material, which has high strength and low cost.

[0016] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , a faucet body with an installation opening not easily cracked, including a main body 1 and a fixing cap 2. In one embodiment, the main body 1 adopts an integrally formed structure, which can reduce subsequent assembly steps and assembly costs.

[0033] The main body 1 is provided with an installation cavity 11 for installing a valve body. An external thread 112 is provided on the outer periphery of the installation opening 111 of the installation cavity 11. One end of the fixing cap 2 is provided with an internal thread 21 and is installed on the outer periphery of the installation opening 111 by means of a thread. The other end is provided with a relief opening 22 for exposing the valve body. In this embodiment, the fixing cap 2 is made of fiberglass material and has a relatively high strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing cap 2 can also be made of other materials, such as water purification materials.

[0034] In one embodiment, a disassembly and assembly auxiliary structure 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the fixing cap 2, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly personnel to install or disassemble the fixing cap 2. Preferably, the disassembly and assembly auxiliary structure 23 is a rotating handle distributed at the end of the fixing cap 2, which has a simple structure and is convenient to use.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to avoid the problem that the fixing cap 2 is also stretched open, a circular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the installation cavity 11 of the main body 1, and the end of the fixing cap 2 extends into the circular groove, thereby further restricting the fixing cap 2 from deforming.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, in one embodiment, the main body 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe installation groove 12, and a water inlet pipe 3 is installed in the water inlet pipe installation groove 12. Preferably, a limiting step 31 is provided on the peripheral part of the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 3, and a limiting member 4 for clamping the limiting step 31 is provided in the water inlet pipe installation groove 12.

[0037] For the convenience of assembling the limiting member 4, the limiting member 4 is a U-shaped buckle. A jack 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet pipe installation groove 12. The U-shaped buckle of the limiting member 4 is inserted into the water inlet pipe installation groove 12 through the jack 13 and clamps the limiting step 31 of the water inlet pipe 3. In addition, preferably, a guiding inclined surface is provided at the inserted end of the U-shaped buckle, which is convenient for the U-shaped buckle to be inserted and installed.

[0038] In another embodiment, three uniformly distributed guiding rib strips 32 are provided on the periphery of the water inlet pipe 3. Corresponding to this, three guiding grooves are provided on the inner wall of the water inlet pipe installation groove 12. When the water inlet pipe 3 is inserted into the water inlet pipe installation groove 12, the guiding rib strips 32 are inserted into the guiding grooves, which has the functions of positioning and limiting. When the water inlet pipe 3 is subjected to an external force, it will not shift or move out of position, which can avoid the generation of stress and protect the weak parts and key pressure-bearing parts of the water inlet pipe.

[0039] For the installation port 111 of the faucet body provided by the present utility model, an external thread method is adopted. During assembly, the fixing cap 2 is sleeved outside the installation port 111 of the installation cavity 11. On the one hand, this can avoid the problem that the installation port 111 is damaged due to an outward expanding force. On the other hand, the expanding force is transferred to the fixing cap 2. The size of the fixing cap 2 is much smaller than that of the main body 1, and the molding difficulty is also low. To avoid the problem of the fixing cap 2 cracking, a material with higher strength or a thicker structure can be used for the fixing cap 2. Compared with implementing it on the main body 1, the cost is much lower, and the later maintenance cost is also low.
