Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shower faucets, in particular to a three-tube pre-fixed shower faucet body. Background Art
[0002] Existing shower faucets are generally solid metal structures, and the water channels are processed by sand casting or drilling. They have problems such as heavy overall weight, high material cost, and complex production process. At the same time, the water channel from the hot water inlet to the mixing valve core is in direct contact with high-temperature hot water, and the temperature will be transmitted to the outer wall through the shell, which can easily cause burns to users when they touch it during use.
[0003] To address the above-mentioned issues, the applicant adopted the method of welding built-in pipes for production. However, in the subsequent production process, the applicant discovered that after the pre-assembly of the accessories at both ends of the shell, the pipes had errors in the position accuracy of the cantilever ends due to bending or shrinkage after welding. When the pipes were assembled on the shell and welded to the shell, it was often difficult to align the pipes (position correction was required), which seriously affected production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-tube pre-fixed shower faucet body that has a simple structure, light weight, low production cost, and can effectively avoid burns, while improving the hole positioning accuracy during assembly and welding.
[0005] In response to the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided: a three-tube pre-fixed shower faucet body, comprising a tubular shell, wherein the rear side of the shell is provided with a first welding port and a second welding port spaced apart along its axial direction, and third welding ports located on the upper, lower and front sides of the shell respectively between the first welding port and the second welding port; further comprising a hot and cold mounting member provided with a first inlet, a second inlet and a first outlet, wherein the first inlet is located at the bottom thereof and welded with a water inlet pipe extending outward along its axial direction; further comprising a switching mounting member and an intermediate positioning member spaced apart from its bottom, wherein the switching mounting member is provided with a third inlet and three second outlets arranged in a triangle at its bottom, and the intermediate positioning member is ring / arc-shaped and Its upper, lower and front sides are all provided with positioning holes opened along its radial direction, and each positioning hole corresponds to one end of the inner side of the intermediate positioning piece and is welded to each second outlet through an outlet pipe, and a guide area with an opening facing the rear side of the shell is formed between the three outlet pipes; the switching mounting piece is inserted from one end of the shell and the intermediate positioning piece is fit to the inner wall of the shell, while each positioning hole is corresponding to the third welding port and welded fixed; the hot and cold mounting piece is inserted from the other end of the shell and the cantilever end of the water inlet pipe is guided along the guide area to the position of the first welding port and welded fixed; the first outlet and the third inlet are connected to each other through the inner cavity of the shell; the second welding port is tightly fitted to the second inlet and welded fixed or welded connected through a transition pipe.
[0006] The utility model is further configured such that the hot and cold mounting parts are provided with a temperature regulating valve core, which adjusts the water supply ratio between the first inlet and the second inlet and outputs the water from the first outlet; the switching mounting part is provided with a switching valve core, which controls the interruption and selection of the water flow between the third inlet and each second outlet.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing ring is provided between the hot and cold mounting member, the switching mounting member and the inner wall of the shell or they are fixed by welding.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that water inlet joints are welded to the outer wall of the shell at positions corresponding to the first welding port and the second welding port; and a water outlet joint is welded to the outer wall of the shell at a position corresponding to the third welding port.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the shell, hot and cold mounting parts, intermediate positioning parts, switching mounting parts, water inlet joint, water outlet joint, water outlet pipe and water inlet pipe are made of stainless steel or copper or copper alloy.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the first inlet, the second inlet and the first outlet are all located at the bottom of the hot and cold mounting member.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the hot and cold mounting member includes a first base plate or a first base plate and a first cylinder, and the first cylinder is fixed to the first base plate by welding or formed by punching and stretching.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the second welding port and the second inlet are connected to each other by radially punching holes on the first bottom plate.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0017] 1. The intermediate positioning member and the switching mounting member are pre-assembled by pre-welding the outlet pipes. The three outlet pipes are used to fix the position between the two while ensuring that the positioning holes on the intermediate positioning member can be accurately aligned with the third welding joints. When the hot and cold mounting members are then installed, the guide area formed by the three outlet pipes is used to guide the end of the supporting water inlet pipe away from the first inlet to accurately align with the first welding joint to achieve positioning constraint. This avoids the problem of position accuracy errors caused by bending of the cantilever ends of the existing water inlet and outlet pipes or shrinkage of the welds after welding with the hot and cold mounting members and the switching mounting member, resulting in the need for continuous position correction before and after installation into the shell to meet the corresponding hole positions. This effectively saves labor and improves production efficiency.
[0018] 2. The shell and the intermediate positioning parts are preferably made of stainless steel pipes by laser cutting. The outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are also made of stainless steel pipes, which is convenient for quick adjustment of the cutting length according to the size specifications;
[0019] 3. Since the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are both located in the inner cavity of the shell, the water inlet pipe is isolated by the inner cavity of the shell regardless of whether it is cold water or hot water. The inner cavity of the shell is filled with warm water mixed with cold and hot water, which is equivalent to the actual output water temperature, so there will be no local overheating or overcooling of the shell temperature.
