[0017] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] Embodiments

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The present application provides a bathtub faucet assembly, which comprises a faucet main body 1, a pipe body 2, a column block 3, a movable rod 4, a floating block 5, a movable magnet ring 6, a fixed magnet ring 7 and a connecting rope 8. The faucet main body 1 belongs to the prior art content, so the specific structure and working principle of the faucet main body 1 will not be further explained and described.

[0020] The top end of the pipe body 2 is in communication with the inside of the faucet main body 1, and a through hole 201 is formed in the side surface of the bottom of the pipe body 2, which is used for water to enter the pipe body and contact the floating block 5.

[0021] The column block 3 is located in the pipe body 2 and can move along the column block 3 to form a moving pair in the vertical direction. A clamping block 301 is formed at the bottom of the column block 3, and a limiting cavity 101 is formed on the faucet main body 1. The column block 3 and the limiting cavity 101 are shape-matched, and the water flow in the faucet main body 1 can be cut off when the column block 3 cooperates with the limiting cavity 101.

[0022] The movable rod 4 is located on the left and right sides in the pipe body 2, and the middle part of the movable rod 4 is hinged to the pipe body 2 and can rotate. A clamping block 401 is formed at the top end of the movable rod 4 and can clamp the clamping block 301. A roller 402 is formed at the bottom end of the movable rod 4. The length from the top end of the movable rod 4 to the hinged part of the movable rod 4 is less than the length from the hinged part of the movable rod 4 to the bottom end of the movable rod 4. The clamping block 301 is in the shape of an inverted circular table, and an inclined surface is formed at the top of the clamping block 401.

[0023] The floating block 5 is located in the pipe body 2 and can move to form a moving pair with the pipe body 2 in the vertical direction. A bucket-shaped groove 501 is formed on the top surface of the floating block 5, and the roller 402 can abut against the bucket-shaped groove 501 and roll. The floating block 5 refers to a block-shaped component composed of a material that can float in water. The skilled person can select different types of materials according to the requirements, as long as they can meet the above requirements, which will not have a substantial impact on the technical effect.

[0024] The movable magnet ring 6 is installed at the bottom of the column block 3, and the fixed magnet ring 7 is fixedly installed inside the tube body 2. The locking block 301 can pass through the center of the fixed magnet ring 7. The movable magnet ring 6 and the fixed magnet ring 7 repel each other. The movable magnet ring 6 and the fixed magnet ring 7 refer to the ring-shaped components made of magnets that are movable and fixed in position, respectively. The magnets are existing technology. Technicians can change the magnitude of the repulsive force by changing the material and size of the magnets.

[0025] One end of the connecting rope 8 is connected to the limiting block, and the other end of the connecting rope 8 passes through the float 5 and is located outside the tube body 2. The connecting rope 8 is used by the user to pull and move the column block 3.

[0026] Working principle: Install the faucet body 1 on the bathtub and place the pipe body 2 inside the bathtub in contact with the water. The water in the bathtub can contact the float 5 inside the pipe body 2 through the through hole 201. As the water level rises, the buoyancy of the float 5 increases and the position of the float 5 inside the pipe body 2 will rise. Since the bucket-shaped groove 501 on the float 5 contacts the roller 402, the upward-moving float 5 will drive the movable rod 4 to shift, causing the clamp 401 to separate from the locking block 301.

[0027] After the clamping block 401 separates from the locking block 301, due to the repulsive force between the moving magnet ring 6 and the fixed magnet ring 7, the column block 3 will move upward to abut against the limiting cavity 1 and cooperate with the limiting cavity 1 to cut off the water flow in the faucet body 1, so that the faucet body 1 stops supplying water and avoids the faucet body 1 from continuing to flow water when the bathtub is full, thus avoiding water waste.

[0028] After the water level in the bathtub drops, the user can pull down the connecting rope 8 to make the column block 3 leave the limiting cavity 1, thereby restoring the water output of the faucet body 1. At the same time, as the column block 3 moves down, the locking block 301 located at the bottom of the column block 3 will open the movable rod 4, so that the locking block 301 abuts against the clamping block 401 to lock the position of the column block 3.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
