[0023] With reference to the drawings in the specification, a concealed valve structure capable of modular splicing includes a main body 10, in which a valve core 11 is provided. When combined splicing is required, two adjacent main bodies can be spliced. The figure shows a left-right splicing method. A first connecting piece 12 is provided at the lower end of one side of the main body, and a second connecting piece 13 is provided at the lower end of the other side of the main body. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are distributed on both sides of the main body on the left and right. The first connecting piece and the second connecting piece of the two adjacent main bodies can be stacked up and down. In one embodiment, the first connecting piece of one main body is located above the second connecting piece of the adjacent main body. Corresponding connecting holes 14 are provided on the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, and locking screws 20 are provided in the two connecting holes. The upper ends of the two adjacent main bodies are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, so that the upper ends and lower ends of the two adjacent main bodies are fixed by different structures, so that the two main bodies have a stable structure after being connected.

[0024] Preferably, a panel 15 is provided above the main body, a connecting piece 16 is provided on one side of the panel, a snap-in block 17 is provided on the outside of the connecting piece located on the main body, and a card slot 18 is provided on the other side of the panel. The card slots on the two adjacent main body panels can cooperate with the snap-in blocks to form a snap-in structure, that is, the upper part of the main body is fixed by the connection between the snap-in block and the card slot, so that the upper and lower ends of the two main bodies are fixedly connected.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting piece is an elastic piece, and the lower end surface of the connecting piece is provided with the aforementioned snap-in block protruding downward. The snap-in block is provided with a first guide slope 171 at the end facing the engaging slot, and the first guide slope facilitates the snap-in of the snap-in block into the slot. The slot is provided with a second guide slope 181 at the end facing the engaging slot, and the first guide slope can be mated with the second guide slope. During assembly, when the first guide slope contacts the second guide slope, the connecting piece can be ejected upward, so that when the snap-in block engages with the slot, the snap-in block can be snapped into the slot.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the front end and / or rear end of the panel is provided with an extended connecting plate 19, and the lower end surface of the connecting plate can abut against the upper end surface of the adjacent panel, so that positioning can be achieved and at the same time, good structural stability can be ensured after the two bodies are spliced.

[0027] During use, the utility model further comprises a water channel 30 disposed below the main body, with the water inlet end of the valve core being able to communicate with the water channel. The water inlet and outlet ends of two adjacent water channels can be plugged in and mated to connect the two adjacent water channels. A sealing ring 31 is disposed between the two adjacent water channels.

[0028] More specifically, the present invention features panels connected via snap fasteners, and the main body connected via locking screws at the bottom. At least two modules are joined together via locking screws at the bottom, and the panels are connected via snap fasteners, allowing each main body to be freely joined together. Whether used individually or as a multifunctional module consisting of multiple main bodies, these can be freely combined to create diverse products, meeting market demands.

[0029] The foregoing description shows and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the present invention as taught herein or through the techniques or knowledge of the relevant art.
