Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom, in particular to a shower faucet. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a shower faucet is equipped with a temperature control switch and a water outlet switch, and there are many styles. To ensure water use safety, many shower faucets separately arrange the water outlet switch (or flow regulating switch) and the temperature control switch at the left and right ends of the faucet, so as to separate and distance the two switches as much as possible and prevent error situations. In some shower areas with small spaces, consumers hope that the length of the shower faucet can be shorter to maintain the coordination between the size of the shower faucet and the space size of the shower area. Or, some consumers like shower faucets with small sizes and think that long faucets not only have disproportionate self-proportions but also take up space. However, the shower faucets with the above structures are generally installed horizontally in a straight line and have a long overall length. It is difficult to select a style that meets the above scenarios or consumer needs, resulting in limited choices of faucets for the above scenarios or consumers. Therefore, the utility model provides a shower faucet with a shorter size to provide more choices for consumers. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a shower faucet with a shorter size.

[0004] A shower faucet includes a faucet body, a switching valve core, a temperature regulating valve core, and a housing.

[0005] One end of the faucet body is provided with a flow-cutting installation cavity, and the periphery is provided with a hot water inlet. The other end is provided with a temperature regulating installation cavity, and the periphery is provided with a cold water inlet. At least two shower water outlets are arranged in the middle of the faucet body. A hot water channel, a mixed water channel, and a water outlet channel are arranged inside the faucet body. The hot water channel communicates with the hot water inlet and communicates with the temperature regulating installation cavity through a hot water outlet. The cold water inlet is staggered with the temperature regulating installation cavity and communicates with the temperature regulating installation cavity through a cold water outlet. The mixed water channel communicates with the temperature regulating installation cavity through a mixed water inlet and communicates with the flow-cutting installation cavity through a mixed water outlet. The water outlet channel has at least two branches and respectively communicates with the flow-cutting installation cavity and each shower water outlet.

[0006] To avoid an excessive distance from the end of the tangential flow installation cavity to the midpoint between the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet, the tangential flow installation cavity extends towards the hot water inlet and is staggered. At the same time, the mixed water outlet is arranged on the periphery of the tangential flow installation cavity and has a long and narrow profile, which can also avoid an excessive length of the entire tangential flow installation cavity. Similarly, the temperature adjustment installation cavity extends towards the cold water inlet and is staggered, and the hot water outlet and the cold water outlet are arranged on the periphery of the temperature adjustment installation cavity and have a long and narrow profile. In addition, both the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet have a flat profile, which also helps to shorten the tangential flow installation cavity and the flow adjustment installation cavity.

[0007] The switching valve core and the temperature adjustment valve core are respectively installed in the tangential flow installation cavity and the temperature adjustment installation cavity. The housing is sleeved on the outer periphery of the faucet body, and the control switches of the switching valve core and the temperature adjustment valve core are respectively arranged at both ends of the housing.

[0008] For the shower faucet provided by the present utility model, the valve core installation cavities at both ends of the faucet body are both inwardly contracted. Without affecting the water inflow, by occupying part of the space of the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet, and setting a mixed water inlet and a cold water outlet with a long and narrow profile, the distance from both ends of the faucet body to the midpoint between the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet is controlled, and thus the overall length can be controlled to form a shorter shower faucet, meeting the needs of some consumers and providing more choices for consumers.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the groove of the tangential flow installation cavity is staggered with the hot water inlet and constitutes the side wall of the hot water inlet close to the end of the faucet body.

[0010] Preferably, curved foot limiting grooves are provided on the peripheries of both the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet, and rubber gaskets are arranged in the curved foot limiting grooves for use in cooperation with the curved feet during the installation of the shower faucet.

[0011] Preferably, there are two water outlet channels. Correspondingly, there are also two shower water outlets, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the faucet body and are coaxial, enabling the shower faucet to switch the water outlet and providing different shower requirements for users.

[0012] Preferably, the two water outlet channels are close to each other and arranged parallel up and down, and are arranged between the hot water channel and the mixed water channel. The layout is reasonable and the structure is compact, avoiding waste of space and avoiding an increase in the diameter of the faucet body.

[0013] Preferably, the faucet body is an injection molded part, and an insert nut is arranged in the shower water outlet. On the one hand, it can improve the docking firmness between the shower water outlet and the joint, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the subsequent assembly steps.

[0014] Preferably, the switching valve core is pressed by a gland, and the gland is assembled with the end of the faucet body through threads. The inner ring of the opening of the flow-cutting installation cavity is chamfered, and a compressed sealing ring is provided between the opening of the flow-cutting installation cavity, the gland and the switching valve core. On the basis of achieving sealing, the configuration of the sealing ring can be reduced.

[0015] Preferably, a gear pin structure is provided inside the switching valve core, which can stabilize the current gear and also provide a better switching feel.

[0016] Preferably, to avoid high forming difficulty of the faucet body, an insertion pipe is further included. The temperature adjustment installation cavity is arranged inside the insertion pipe, and the insertion pipe is inserted into the end of the faucet body, and the end is hermetically docked with the mixed water channel. There is a gap between the middle part of the insertion pipe and the inner wall of the faucet body, and the gap is divided into the end of the hot water channel and the cold water channel by a sealing ring. The insertion pipe is provided with a hot water outlet and a cold water outlet corresponding to the end of the hot water channel and the cold water channel.

[0017] Preferably, the temperature adjustment valve core is installed inside the insertion pipe and is a constant temperature valve core, and a child lock is provided for the switch of the temperature adjustment valve core.

[0018] From the above description of the present invention, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] For the shower faucet provided by the present invention, the valve core installation cavities at both ends of the faucet body are both set to contract inward. Without affecting the water inflow, by occupying part of the space of the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet, and setting an oval mixed water inlet and a cold water outlet, the distance from both ends of the faucet body to the midpoint between the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet is controlled, so that a shower faucet and a faucet body with a shorter overall length can be formed, and then a shower faucet with a shorter overall length can be made to meet the needs of some consumers and provide more choices for consumers;

[0033] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, a shower faucet, comprising a faucet body 1, a switching valve core, a temperature regulating valve core 3 and a housing 4.

[0035] One end of the faucet body 1 is provided with a flow-cutting installation cavity 11, and the peripheral part is provided with a hot water inlet 131. The other end is provided with a temperature regulating installation cavity 12, and the peripheral part is provided with a cold water inlet 141. At least two shower outlets 17 are provided in the middle of the faucet body 1. Inside the faucet body 1, there are a hot water channel 13, a mixed water channel 15 and an outlet channel 16.

The cold water inlet 141 is staggered with the temperature regulating installation cavity 12 and communicates with the temperature regulating installation cavity 12 through a cold water outlet 122. The mixed water channel 15 communicates with the temperature regulating installation cavity 12 through a mixed water inlet 123 and communicates with the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 through a mixed water outlet 111. The outlet channel 16 has at least two branches and communicates with the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 and each shower outlet 17 respectively.

[0036] In one embodiment, there are two outlet channels 16. Correspondingly, there are also two shower outlets 17, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the faucet body 1 and are coaxial, so that the shower faucet can switch the water outlet to meet different shower needs of users. Preferably, the two outlet channels 16 are closely arranged and parallel to each other up and down, and are arranged between the hot water channel 13 and the mixed water channel 15. The layout is reasonable and the structure is compact, avoiding waste of space and avoiding increasing the diameter of the faucet body 1. In addition, the faucet body 1 is an injection molded part, and an insert nut 171 is provided inside the shower outlet 17. On the one hand, it can improve the docking firmness between the shower outlet 17 and the joint. On the other hand, it can also reduce the subsequent assembly steps.

[0037] To avoid the distance from the end of the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 to the midpoint between the hot water inlet 131 and the cold water inlet 141 being too large, the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 extends towards the hot water inlet 131 and is staggered. At the same time, the mixed water outlet 111 is arranged on the periphery of the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 and has a long and narrow profile, which can also avoid the overall length of the flow-cutting installation cavity 11 being too large. Similarly, the temperature regulating installation cavity 12 extends towards the cold water inlet 141 and is staggered, and the hot water outlet 121 and the cold water outlet 122 are arranged on the periphery of the temperature regulating installation cavity 12 and have a long and narrow profile.

[0038] In addition, both the hot water inlet 131 and the cold water inlet 141 adopt a flat profile. Among them, the bottom of the tangential flow installation cavity 11 intersects with the hot water inlet 131 and forms the side wall of the hot water inlet 131 close to the end of the faucet body 1, which helps to shorten the tangential flow installation cavity 11 and the flow regulation installation cavity. In this embodiment, curved foot limit grooves are provided on the peripheries of the hot water inlet 131 and the cold water inlet 141, and rubber gaskets are provided in the curved foot limit grooves for use in cooperation with the curved feet during the installation of the shower faucet.

[0039] The switching valve core and the temperature regulating valve core 3 are respectively installed in the tangential flow installation cavity 11 and the temperature regulating installation cavity 12. In one embodiment, the switching valve core 2 is pressed by a gland 21, and the gland 21 is assembled with the end of the faucet body 1 through threads. The inner ring of the opening of the tangential flow installation cavity 11 is chamfered, and a compressed sealing ring 22 is provided between the opening of the tangential flow installation cavity 11, the gland 21 and the switching valve core 2, which can reduce the configuration of the sealing ring 22 on the basis of achieving sealing. In addition, a gear position pin structure is provided in the switching valve core 2, which can stabilize the current gear position and also provide a better switching feel.

[0040] In other embodiments, to avoid the high molding difficulty of the faucet body 1, an insertion pipe 18 is further included. The temperature regulating installation cavity 12 is arranged in the insertion pipe 18 and inserted into the end of the faucet body 1, and the end is hermetically butted with the mixed water channel 15. There is a gap between the middle part of the insertion pipe 18 and the inner wall of the faucet body 1, and the gap is divided into the end of the hot water channel 13 and the cold water channel 14 by the sealing ring 22. The insertion pipe 18 is provided with a hot water outlet 121 and a cold water outlet 122 corresponding to the end of the hot water channel 13 and the cold water channel 14. Preferably, the temperature regulating valve core 3 is installed in the insertion pipe 18 and is a constant temperature valve core, and a child lock is provided on the switch of the temperature regulating valve core 3.

[0041] The housing 4 is sleeved on the outer peripheral part of the faucet body 1, and the control switches of the switching valve core and the temperature regulating valve core 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the housing 4.

[0042] For the shower faucet provided by the present utility model, the valve core installation cavities at both ends of the faucet body 1 are both arranged to contract inward. Without affecting the water inflow, by occupying part of the space of the hot water inlet 131 and the cold water inlet 141, and setting a long and narrow profile of the mixed water inlet 123 and the cold water outlet 122, the distance from both ends of the faucet body 1 to the midpoint of the hot water inlet 131 and the cold water inlet 141 can be controlled, and thus the overall length can be controlled to form a shorter shower faucet, meeting the needs of some consumers and providing more choices for consumers.

[0043] The shower faucet provided by the present utility model has the valve core installation cavities at both ends of the faucet body arranged to contract inward. Without affecting the water inflow, by occupying part of the space of the hot water inlet 31 and the cold water inlet 41, and setting an oval-shaped mixed water inlet 23 and a cold water outlet 22, the distances from both ends of the faucet body to the midpoint between the hot water inlet 31 and the cold water inlet 41 are controlled, so as to form a shower faucet and a faucet body with a relatively short overall length, and then a shower faucet with a relatively short overall length can be manufactured to meet the needs of some consumers and provide more choices for consumers.
