Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of faucet valve cores, in particular to a valve core capable of extending a temperature adjustment area. Background Art

[0002] As the core component of a faucet, the valve core primarily relies on the movement of the valve stem to achieve basic functions such as directional control, pressure control, or flow control. A mixing valve core is a type of valve core that primarily consists of a valve housing, a ceramic stator installed within the housing, and a ceramic rotor. The rotor is connected to the valve stem. Rotating the valve stem drives the rotor to rotate synchronously, changing the overlap area of ​​the flow holes on the stator and rotor, thereby regulating the amount of hot and cold water flowing in and adjusting the temperature of the mixed water.

[0003] The water mixing valve core generally has both flow regulation and water mixing functions. The temperature of the mixed water coming out of the water outlet is controlled by adjusting the relative angle of the rotating valve stem. For example, the Chinese utility model patent No. ZL200420118665.4 (publication No. CN2761932Y) "Ceramic control valve and fixed disc for controlling the mixing ratio of cold and hot water and the amount of water output" discloses such a structure, which includes a valve housing and a valve core. The valve core includes a fixed disc, a movable disc and a control rod. The fixed disc is provided with a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet and a water outlet. The hole walls of the hot water inlet and the cold water inlet respectively have an inlet slope that gradually expands outward toward the bottom surface and an outlet slope that gradually expands outward toward the top surface. The hole wall of the water outlet has a guide slope that gradually expands outward toward the top surface and an expansion groove extending to the side of the hole wall of the water outlet. The bottom of the movable disc is recessed with an adjustment groove that matches the hot water inlet, cold water inlet and water outlet. The position of the adjustment groove is moved to determine the mixing ratio of cold and hot water and achieve the purpose of temperature control.

[0004] However, this type of thermostatic valve core also has the defect of being overly sensitive to temperature adjustment. Since the human body adapts to a narrow range of water temperature, the optimal water temperature is generally in the range of 37℃ to 42℃. During the initial temperature adjustment process, the rotation or swing angle of the valve stem is often difficult to control accurately. As a result, when people use the faucet, they often find that the water temperature was very low just now, but after slightly turning the valve stem, they find that the water temperature is too high. The water temperature cannot be quickly and accurately adjusted, resulting in embarrassing water use.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a valve core with a reasonable and compact structure and which can effectively extend the temperature adjustment area to make water temperature adjustment easier to control is an urgent problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0031] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Figures 1 to 12 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the embodiment. The valve core capable of extending the temperature adjustment area of ​​the embodiment mainly includes a valve housing 1 , a valve plate module 2 , a valve handle 3 , and the like.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the valve handle 3 is used to control the action of the valve plate module 2, and a valve core cavity 1d for installing the valve plate module 2 is formed inside the valve housing 1. A cold water inlet 1a, a hot water inlet 1b and a mixed water outlet 1c connected to the valve core cavity 1d are provided at the bottom of the valve housing 1. The valve plate module 2 includes a static valve plate 2a and a movable valve plate 2b that can move relative to the static valve plate 2a. The static valve plate 2a is provided with a cold water inlet 2a1, a hot water inlet 2a2 and a mixed water outlet 2a3 connected to the cold water inlet 1a, the hot water inlet 1b and the mixed water outlet 1c. The movable valve plate 2b is provided with a mixing adjustment cavity 2b3 that can be adapted between the cold water inlet 2a1, the hot water inlet 2a2 and the mixed water outlet 2a3 to adjust the mixing ratio of cold and hot water. A cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and a hot water compensation chamber 2b2 are also provided on the upper surface; when the movable valve plate 2b is rotated to the state where the proportion of hot water entering the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 is greater than the proportion of cold water, the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 can communicate with the cold water inlet 2a1 and the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3, and the cold water in the cold water inlet 2a1 is replenished into the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 to prevent the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 from rising too quickly; when the movable valve plate 2b is rotated to the state where the proportion of cold water entering the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 is greater than the proportion of hot water, the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 can communicate with the hot water inlet 2a2 and the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3, and the hot water in the hot water inlet 2a2 is replenished into the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 to prevent the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 from falling too quickly.

Arrow B indicates the direction of rotation of the movable valve disc 2b when the water temperature changes from high to low. When the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 are in the water supply state, the temperature adjustment range of the valve core can be extended in a timely manner.

[0035] In order to optimize the overall layout of the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3, the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 so that the three can better realize their respective functions, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mixing and regulating chamber 2b3 includes a water inlet area 2b4 and a water outlet area 2b5 that are interconnected, and the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 are distributed on opposite sides of the water outlet area 2b5 along the circumference of the movable valve plate 2b.

[0036] Secondly, in order to optimize the cavity structure of the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2, so that the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 can be better connected between the cold water outlet 2a1 and the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3, and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 can be better connected between the hot water outlet 2a2 and the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3, refer to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 extends along the circumference of the movable valve disc 2b to form a narrow arc-shaped groove, so that the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 can promptly connect with the cold water outlet 2a1 and the mixed water outlet 2a3 when the movable valve disc 2b rotates to the set position, and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 extends along the circumference of the movable valve disc 2b to form a narrow arc-shaped groove, so that the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 can promptly connect with the hot water outlet 2a2 and the mixed water outlet 2a3 when the movable valve disc 2b rotates to the set position.

[0037] At the same time, in order to optimize the channel structure of the mixed water outlet 2a3 so that it can better connect with the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the water inlet end of the mixing water port 2a3 is formed with an expansion area 2a4 for expanding the water receiving area of ​​the mixing water port 2a3 to facilitate the communication between the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2.

[0038] In addition, in order to better control the valve module 2 to switch the water out, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the valve disc module 2 also includes a rotor 2c and a dial 2d arranged in sequence. The rotor 2c is rotatably arranged on the valve housing 1. The valve handle 3 is hinged to the rotor 2c and can swing back and forth to drive the dial 2d to move. The dial 2d is constrained to the bottom of the rotor 2c and can rotate with the rotor 2c and can slide relative to the rotor 2c. The movable valve disc 2b is fixed to the bottom surface of the dial 2d, and the static valve disc 2a is fixed to the bottom of the valve core cavity 1d. The rotation of the movable valve disc 2b is used to adjust the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water, and the sliding of the movable valve disc 2b is used to close or let in water.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to optimize the overall structure of the valve housing 1 so that the entire valve core can be better produced and assembled, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the valve housing 1 includes an outer shell 11 and a valve cover 12. The valve cover 12 is detachably connected to the top of the outer shell 11 through a detachable structure. The upper end of the valve handle 3 is exposed at the top of the valve cover 12. The cold water inlet 1a, the hot water inlet 1b and the mixed water outlet 1c are all opened at the bottom of the outer shell 11.

[0040] In order to enable the detachable structure to better achieve rapid disassembly and rapid positioning, the detachable structure here includes a buckle 12a provided on the valve cover 12 and a slot 11a provided on the shell 11 and capable of adapting to the buckle 12a. The shell 11 is also provided with a positioning groove 11b, and the valve cover 12 is provided with a positioning block 12b that can be adapted in the positioning groove 11b.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to better install the valve plate module 2 on the valve cover 12, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting hole 12c is formed on the valve cover 12, which passes through the valve cover 12 from top to bottom.

When the rotor 2c rotates forward to the first position, the first limit wall 2c1 can abut against the side of the first limit block 12d to limit the rotor 2c from continuing to rotate. When the rotor 2c reverses to the second position, the second limit wall 2c2 can abut against the side of the second limit block 12e to limit the rotor 2c from continuing to rotate.

[0043] Additional explanation is required here: in this embodiment, by providing a cold water compensation chamber 2b1 and a hot water compensation chamber 2b2 on the movable valve plate 2b, the cold water compensation chamber 2b1 here can timely replenish the cold water in the cold water inlet 2a1 to the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 when the movable valve plate 2b rotates to the state where the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 changes from low to high, thereby preventing the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 from rising too quickly, and the hot water compensation chamber 2b2 here can timely replenish the hot water in the hot water inlet 2a2 to the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 when the movable valve plate 2b rotates to the state where the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 changes from high to low, thereby preventing the water temperature in the mixing adjustment chamber 2b3 from dropping too quickly, ultimately extending the temperature adjustment area of ​​the entire valve core, solving the embarrassing water use phenomenon caused by the excessive sensitivity of the temperature adjustment in the prior art and the rapid change of water temperature, so that the valve stem 3 can accurately control the water temperature during normal rotation, and the water temperature adjustment can also become easier to control, thereby improving the user's water use experience.

The upper end of the valve handle (3) is exposed on the top of the valve cover (12) to facilitate driving the valve handle (3) to swing or rotate. The lower end of the valve handle (3) is connected to the dial (2d) to facilitate driving the dial (2d) to move or rotate.

9. The valve core with an extendable temperature adjustment range according to claim 6, characterized in that: A first limiting block (12d) and a second limiting block (12e) spaced apart along the circumferential direction are formed on the inner side of the valve cover (12); a first limiting wall (2c1) adapted to the first limiting block (12d) and a second limiting wall (2c2) adapted to the second limiting block (12e) are formed on the rotor (2c); when the rotor (2c) rotates forward to the first position, the first limiting wall (2c1) can press against the side of the first limiting block (12d) to limit the rotor (2c) from continuing to rotate; when the rotor (2c) rotates backward to the second position, the second limiting wall (2c2) can press against the side of the second limiting block (12e) to limit the rotor (2c) from continuing to rotate.
