Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a storage faucet. Background Art

[0002] When the existing storage faucet is in use, a certain proportion of the faucet valve cores need after-sales maintenance. When maintaining, it is necessary to disassemble the valve core control handle and the valve core compression nut. Finally, the valve core is taken out from the hole of the shell for maintenance or replacement. Since the diameter size of the valve core is fixed, the hole on the shell must be larger than the diameter of the valve core for maintenance. This results in the handle diameter and the product height size not being able to be made smaller, restricting the appearance of the product. If the hole on the shell is smaller than the diameter of the valve core, it is necessary to first disassemble the shell to carry out maintenance or replacement. In the existing products, the valve core and the water channel are fixed to the shell as a component, and the handle for temperature adjustment is matched with the temperature adjustment valve core, requiring high dimensional accuracy of the parts, that is, the coaxiality of the two. There is often a problem that the handle gets stuck and does not move smoothly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a storage faucet.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0019] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0020] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected to", "fixed", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through additional features therebetween.

The first feature being "under", "beneath" and "underneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0022] Referring to the accompanying drawings of the specification, a storage faucet includes a housing 10 and a water channel assembly 20. The water channel assembly can be fixed within the housing. The water channel assembly includes a water channel 21 and a switch valve core 22 disposed in the water channel. The front end of the housing is open and provided with a panel assembly 30. The panel assembly includes an end cover 31 adapted to fit the opening. A handle 32 that can be cooperatively connected with the switch valve core is provided on the end cover. A spring 40 is disposed between the end cover and the water channel assembly or the housing. The spring can separate the panel assembly from the housing. The end cover can be fixedly connected to the housing via a locking screw 50. When the panel assembly and the housing are locked together by the locking screw, the spring is compressed. When the locking screw is loosened, under the action of the spring, the panel assembly can bounce off the housing, facilitating the removal of the panel assembly.

[0023] Preferably, a connection hole 33 is provided on the end cover. A sliding sleeve 34 is disposed within the connection hole. The sliding sleeve can be restricted within the connection hole and cannot be separated from the end cover without external force after installation. The handle is disposed within the movable sleeve. A compression spring 35 is disposed between the sliding sleeve and the end cover. The compression spring can drive the sliding sleeve and the handle to move towards the switch valve core, causing the valve core to remain in abutting cooperation with the switch valve core, ensuring that each press of the handle can directly act on the valve stem of the switch valve core.

[0024] Further, the water channel assembly further includes a temperature adjustment valve core 36 that can be disposed on the water channel. A connection ring 37 is provided on the outer periphery of the operating end of the temperature adjustment valve core. The panel assembly further includes a knob 60 provided on the end cover. The rotation of the knob can drive the connection ring to rotate.

[0025] During use, grooves 38 are annularly disposed on the outer periphery of the connection ring. Ribs 61 that can be inserted into the grooves are provided on the knob. The ribs can be inserted into the grooves but may not be in contact with the bottom of the grooves. This way, it is not necessary to ensure a high coaxiality between the knob and the operating end of the temperature adjustment valve core. There can be a deviation as long as the ribs can be inserted into the grooves, reducing the production difficulty.

[0026] Still further, an extension plate 23 is provided at the rear end of the water channel assembly. The extension plate can be in abutting cooperation with the inner peripheral wall at the rear end of the housing, ensuring that the water channel assembly does not wobble after installation.

[0027] Specifically for the present utility model: The handle of the switch valve core, the knob of the temperature adjustment valve core, and the end cover serve as a panel assembly, and the water channel with the valve core serves as a water channel assembly. The two assemblies are connected and fixed through the outer shell. During disassembly, when the locking screw is opened, under the action of the spring, the target assembly can bounce off and separate from the water channel assembly and the housing. The entire front panel assembly can be disassembled for the maintenance of the switch valve core and the temperature adjustment valve core.

[0028] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be changed within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the above teachings or the techniques or knowledge in the relevant field. Any changes and variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
