AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In cold areas, the water at the inlet end of the faucet freezes and expands, resulting in the inability to discharge pressure in time, causing the faucet to freeze and crack.

Method used

An anti-freeze crack faucet is designed, and an anti-freeze crack assembly is adopted. The assembly includes an anti-freeze crack pipe fitting and a sealed mounting cover. The center of the anti-freeze crack pipe fitting runs through. One end away from the valve core is provided with a radial buffer. Each buffer cavity is connected with a connecting pipe. The other end of the connecting pipe is connected with a constant pressure airbag. The connecting pipe passes through the faucet body. The sealed mounting cover installs the anti-freeze crack pipe fitting in the water inlet channel.

Benefits of technology

When the water freezes and expands, squeeze the anti-freeze crack pipe fittings, so that the air in the buffer chamber enters the constant pressure airbag through the connecting pipe, which has a buffering effect and prevents the faucet from being cracked; when the temperature rises, the elasticity of the anti-freeze crack pipe fittings causes the gas to return to the buffer chamber and return to its original state.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the utility model provides an anti-freezing cracking faucet, comprising a faucet body 1, in which a water outlet channel 11, a water inlet channel 12 and a control channel 13 connecting the water outlet channel 11 and the water inlet channel 12 are arranged, a valve core 2 is arranged in the control channel 13, and an anti-freezing cracking component 3 is arranged in the water inlet channel 12;

[0032] The anti-freeze crack assembly 3 includes an anti-freeze crack pipe 31 and a sealing installation cover 34. The anti-freeze crack pipe 31 runs through the center. The end of the anti-freeze crack pipe 31 away from the valve core 2 is radially provided with a plurality of buffer chambers 311. Each buffer chamber 311 is connected to a connecting pipe 32. The other end of the connecting pipe 32 is connected to a constant pressure air bag 33. The connecting pipe 32 passes through the faucet body 1. The sealing installation cover 34 installs the anti-freeze crack pipe 31 in the water inlet channel 12. The anti-freeze crack pipe 31 can be made of elastic material.

[0033] With the above structure, when the temperature drops below zero, the water in the water inlet channel 12 of the faucet body 1 will freeze and expand. Since the anti-freezing crack component 3 is arranged in the water inlet channel 12; the anti-freezing crack component 3 includes an anti-freezing crack pipe 31 and a sealing installation cover 34, the anti-freezing crack pipe 31 runs through the center, and the end of the anti-freezing crack pipe 31 away from the valve core 2 is radially provided with a plurality of buffer chambers 311, each buffer chamber 311 is connected to a connecting pipe 32, and the other end of the connecting pipe 32 is connected to a constant pressure air bag 33, and the connecting pipe 32 passes through the water. The faucet body 1 and the sealing mounting cover 34 install the anti-freeze cracking pipe fitting 31 in the water inlet channel 12. Therefore, the anti-freeze cracking pipe fitting 31 will be squeezed when it expands due to ice formation, so that the buffer cavity 311 will be squeezed, and the air inside it will enter the constant pressure air bag 33 through the connecting pipe 32 to achieve a buffering effect, thereby preventing the faucet from being cracked. When the temperature rises and the ice turns into water, the elasticity of the anti-freeze cracking pipe fitting 31 will cause the gas in the constant pressure air bag 33 to return to the buffer cavity 311, so that the anti-freeze cracking pipe fitting 31 will return to its original state.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 A connecting hole 312 is formed on one side of the anti-freezing crack pipe 31 corresponding to the buffer cavity 311, and the connecting pipe 32 is installed in the connecting hole 312. In actual use, the connecting pipe 32 can be connected to the buffer cavity 311 through the setting of the connecting hole 312.

[0035] The center of the anti-freezing crack pipe 31 is penetrated to form a buffer channel 313, and the buffer channel 313 is communicated with the control channel 13. In actual use, the setting of the buffer channel 313 can enable external water to enter the control channel 13 through the buffer channel 313.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 3and Figure 4 The inner wall of the water inlet channel 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 14, and the anti-freezing cracking pipe fitting 31 is provided with a concave positioning groove 314 at the position corresponding to the positioning block 14, and the positioning block 14 is embedded in the positioning groove 314. In actual use, the anti-freezing cracking pipe fitting 31 can be quickly installed in the water inlet channel 12 through the cooperation of the positioning block 14 and the positioning groove 314.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The faucet body 1 is provided with a through hole 15 at a position corresponding to the connecting pipe 32, and the connecting pipe 32 passes through the through hole 15. In actual use, the connecting pipe 32 can pass through the faucet body 1 through the setting of the through hole 15.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sealing installation cover 34 is provided with a concave installation groove 341 at a position corresponding to the anti-freeze cracking pipe 31, and the installation groove 341 is provided with a sealing block 342 at a position corresponding to the buffer cavity 311, and the sealing block 342 is embedded in the buffer cavity 311. In actual use, the cavity opening of the buffer cavity 311 can be sealed by the setting of the sealing block 342 to prevent the buffer cavity 311 from leaking.
