AI Technical Summary
Existing faucet housings suffer from high costs when made of metal and low aesthetics and strength when made of plastic. Furthermore, water flow may release trace amounts of harmful elements. Separating the water outlet pipe from the housing results in high costs and poor stability, and it is difficult to form an inner sleeve with an uneven surface.
The design integrates a metal outer shell with a plastic inner tube. The plastic inner tube and the metal outer tube are formed by injection molding and die casting molds respectively, forming a stable faucet shell. Water flows inside the plastic inner tube to avoid contact with the metal. The complex inner tube is formed by the core-pulling design of the injection molding and die casting molds.
It achieves strong overall stability, high texture and aesthetics in the faucet shell, avoids metal oxidation and trace element release, extends product life, and allows injection molds and die-casting molds to simultaneously form complex inner and outer tubes, reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a faucet housing and mold. Background Technology
[0002] As the water outlet pipe of a faucet, the faucet body, when used for supplying drinking water, must be made of metal or plastic that will not add pollutants to the water for the sake of water safety and hygiene. If it is made of standard metal, the cost will be high, while if it is made of plastic, the appearance will be less attractive, the texture will be poor, and the strength will be lower.
[0003] In view of this, the inventor applied for a patent CN 105345988 B on October 19, 2018, which discloses a water outlet pipe, a faucet, and a method for manufacturing the water outlet pipe. The method for manufacturing the water outlet pipe includes the following steps: preparing an outer shell made of metal; preparing an injection mold, the injection mold including a core assembly and a template assembly having a closed state and an open state; placing the outer shell into the template assembly when the template assembly is in the open state, and performing a mold closing process on the template assembly; during the mold closing process, placing the core assembly into the pipe of the outer shell until the template assembly is in the closed state, at which point the core assembly and the outer shell together form a tubular cavity; injecting molten plastic into the cavity; and cooling and solidifying the molten plastic in the cavity.
[0004] The water outlet pipe disclosed in patent CN 105345988 B consists of only one integral bent or straight pipe, and during installation, the water outlet pipe needs to be assembled onto the faucet housing. The patent CN 105345988 B has the following shortcomings: (1) Since the water needs to flow through the faucet housing before flowing out of the outlet pipe, the faucet housing may still release trace amounts of harmful elements such as lead into the water flow during the process of the water flowing through the faucet housing; (2) The faucet housing and the outlet pipe are not integrated and need to be manufactured separately, which increases the manufacturing cost and reduces the overall stability of the faucet; (3) Since both ends of the outer shell of the outlet pipe have openings, while both ends of the inner sleeve are not fixed, the inner sleeve is easy to slide outward from the openings at both ends of the outer shell during use; Assuming that a person skilled in the art designs the inner wall of the outer shell of the outlet pipe to have a concave and convex surface in order to solve this problem, since the core of the die-casting mold cannot be pulled out from the outer shell with a concave and convex surface, it will be difficult to use the core of the die-casting mold to match the inner hole of the outer shell when manufacturing the outer shell; (4) The patent CN 105345988 The manufacturing method disclosed by B can only form the inner sleeve of the water outlet pipe, but not the inner sleeve of the faucet body.
