Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Faucet products are widely used and in high demand, and are used in various occasions. Most faucets on the market use metal shells, and in order to avoid direct contact between water and the metal shell, a water outlet pipe directly connected to the valve seat is often inserted into the water outlet arm. Therefore, the valve seat is provided with a water outlet pipe plug hole around the periphery in the direction of water outlet. At present, the design layout of the valve seat mostly adopts an up-down layout with the valve core on the top and the plug hole on the bottom. This type of layout is widely adopted. However, this type of layout will bring about the problem of a high height of the faucet body, especially the distance from the connection point between the faucet body and the water outlet arm to the handle will be high, which brings inevitable limitations to the styling design of the faucet product, especially for some appearance designs where the height of the water outlet is close to the handle. In addition, in the up-down layout structure, the plug hole is an inclined hole from top to bottom and extends to the bottom center of the valve seat, which takes up a large space and causes the problem of small design space for the water inlet channel. For this reason, the utility model provides a parallel valve core installation structure that can solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0015] Preferably, the valve stem of the valve core is staggered with the axis of the valve seat, and the end of the valve stem is provided with an eccentric end, the eccentric end is coaxial with the valve seat, and the handle is docked with the eccentric end. At this time, the handle can borrow the original universal handle to avoid repeated development of accessories.

[0016] Preferably, the valve stem of the valve core is staggered with the axis of the valve seat, and an eccentric hole is provided at the bottom of the handle. The eccentric hole is coaxial with the valve seat, and the handle is connected to the valve stem through the eccentric hole. At this time, the valve core can use the original universal valve core to avoid repeated development of accessories.

[0017] Preferably, the water outlet channel is parallel to the axial direction of the valve seat and extends downward, which can greatly reduce the occupied space, and the bottom of the valve seat is provided with a connecting channel that is vertical and connected to the water outlet channel, and the bottom of the groove of the valve core installation position is provided with a water outlet hole connected to the connecting channel.
