Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shower equipment technology and relates to a wall-mounted installation box. Background Technology
[0002] When showering, hot water is needed through the shower equipment. Most existing shower equipment is surface-mounted and fixed to the outside of the wall, which not only makes the installation complex, but also affects the appearance of the bathroom.
[0003] To address this issue, a circular thermostatic concealed shower was designed and a Chinese patent was applied for, with application number 202022532720.6 and publication number CN213709739U. This circular thermostatic concealed shower includes a pre-embedded box base, a concealed base, a concealed main body, a thermostatic valve core, a three-hole panel, a pre-embedded box cover, and a test cover. The concealed main body is fixedly installed inside the concealed base using rubber rings. The concealed base is located inside the pre-embedded box base, and the concealed base corresponds to the concealed main body. The system features a fixed support frame with an integrated pre-embedded box section. A thermostatic valve core is housed within this box, connected to the output end of the concealed main body via a round copper sleeve. The output end of the valve core has a round handwheel. A push-button valve core is located in the pre-embedded box section corresponding to the main body. A three-hole panel is positioned opposite the push-button valve core and handwheel, and its end face features a three-hole glass plate. A test cover is fixed to the top cover of the pre-embedded box via a panel bracket, with the top cover corresponding to the three-hole glass plate. This circular thermostatic concealed shower integrates the shower equipment components into the pre-embedded box and embeds them into the wall, reducing the exposed shower equipment, minimizing space occupation, and enhancing aesthetics.
[0004] However, in this circular thermostatic concealed shower, the concealed main body and concealed base are simply set inside the pre-embedded box base. The pre-embedded box base is a plate-shaped structure, and its connection strength with the concealed main body and concealed base is low, resulting in poor fixing stability and making it difficult to meet the safety requirements of some types of shower heads, such as wall-mounted shower heads. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a wall-mounted box that solves the problem of poor connection strength between the concealed main body and the pre-embedded box.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A wall-mounted box includes a box body with an open front end and a box cover disposed at the front end of the box body. The side of the box body has a through-hole for mounting. The outer side of the rear end of the box body has several outwardly protruding lugs. The rear end of the box body has several forward-protruding block-shaped bosses on its inner side. The bosses have mounting holes through-holes along the front-rear direction. The sides of the bosses have reinforcing ribs that connect the bosses and the sides of the box body as one unit. The rear end of the box body also has several protruding strip-shaped ribs on its inner side. The strip-shaped ribs are disposed between any two adjacent bosses and connect the two adjacent bosses and the rear end of the box body as one unit.
[0008] When installing this wall-mounted box, fasteners can be passed through the lugs at the rear of the box to secure it. The concealed main body can be fixed to several protrusions using fasteners inserted into the mounting holes. The connecting pipes between the concealed main body and the pre-embedded pipes can be installed through the mounting openings on the side of the box, making the entire installation and fixing process relatively convenient.
[0009] In this wall-mounted box, the protrusions used to fix the concealed main body are not only connected to the side of the rear end of the box body by reinforcing ribs, but also connected to each other and the rear end of the box body by strip ribs, so that the position inside the box body used to fix the concealed main body is formed into a whole by protruding and connected protrusions, reinforcing ribs and strip ribs, which greatly enhances the connection strength between the concealed main body and the box body.
[0010] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, the lugs are all located near the rear end of the box body, and the bosses are all located near the inner wall of the box body. The number of bosses and lugs is the same, and they are arranged one-to-one opposite each other. This corresponding arrangement of the lugs and bosses creates protruding block-like structures both inside and outside the box, further enhancing the strength of the connection.
[0011] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, a protruding reinforcing portion is provided between the front side of the strip rib and the side of the boss. There is a height difference between the block-shaped boss and the elongated strip rib. The reinforcing portion further enhances the overall strength of the boss and the strip rib, thereby improving the connection strength at the connection point between the concealed mounting body and the box body.
[0012] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, the rear end face of the box body has a recessed, annular mounting groove surrounding the mounting hole, and the side wall of the box body located on the side of the mounting groove has a notch. The mounting groove and notch create a shaped recess at the rear end of the box body corresponding to the mounting hole. When fixing the concealed mounting body, the fastener passes through the mounting hole from back to front and connects and fixes to the concealed mounting body. The head of the fastener can be embedded in the mounting groove, and the shaped recess facilitates the installation of the fastener.
[0013] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, several lugs are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the box body. The lugs on the upper side of the box body are thicker in the front-to-back direction than the lugs on the lower side. The greater thickness of the upper lugs further enhances the structural strength of the load-bearing parts of the box body, i.e., the protrusions, especially in the vertical direction.
[0014] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, several of the lugs have through holes extending along the front-to-back direction. The rear side of each lug has a protruding thin rib surrounding the through hole, and the rear side of the thin rib is flush with the rear end face of the box body. The thin rib enhances the structural strength of the lugs.
[0015] In one of the wall-mounted boxes described above, the side of the box body also has several protruding connecting parts. These connecting parts are distributed circumferentially along the box body, and are closer to the front end of the box body than the lugs. In addition to the lugs, a connecting part is provided further forward on the outer side of the box body. The lugs or connecting parts can be selected for fixing the box body depending on the actual installation location.
[0016] In the aforementioned wall-mounted box, the outer side of the box cover has a protruding, annular positioning portion. The side of the positioning portion facing the box body is flat, and this flat surface can abut against the front end face of the box body. The outer side of the rear end of the box cover also has a protruding clamping portion, which extends into the front end of the box body and abuts tightly against the inner wall of the box body. The positioning portion is used to abut and limit the movement against the front end of the box body, while the clamping portion is used to tighten and fix the box cover and the box body.
[0017] In one of the wall-mounted mounting boxes described above, the bottom of the box cover has an upwardly protruding convex portion. A forward-recessed recess is formed on the rear side of the convex portion, and a level is installed within the recess. An observation port is formed through the top of the convex portion, and the front end of the box body abuts against the port of the recess. The level allows the operator to easily assess the levelness of the entire box installation through the observation port, while the abutment of the front end of the box body against the port of the recess prevents the level from slipping backward.
[0018] In one of the wall-mounted boxes described above, the wall-mounted box further includes a ring-shaped mounting plate, which is sleeved on the outside of the box body and fixed to the aforementioned lugs or connecting parts. The mounting plate increases the connection area, further enhancing the connection strength.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this wall-mounted box has the following advantages:
[0020] 1. This wall-mounted box only includes the box body, box cover, level and mounting plate. It has a simple structure, few parts and is relatively easy to install.
[0021] 2. The positions inside the box used to fix the concealed main body are formed into a whole by protruding and connected bosses, reinforcing ribs and strip ribs, which greatly enhances the connection strength between the concealed main body and the box. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this wall-mounted box includes a box body 1 with an open front end, a box cover 2 located at the front end of the box body 1, a level 5, and a ring-shaped mounting plate 6. The box body 1 is rectangular, with its four corners replaced by inclined planes.
[0033] A mounting opening 1a is provided at the center of each of the four side walls near the rear end of the box body 1. Two outwardly protruding lugs 1b are provided on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the box body 1, with through holes 4 extending through them in the front-to-back direction. Protruding connecting portions 1j are provided at the four corners near the center of the outer side of the box body 1, each with a connecting hole extending through it in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, the lugs 1b are all located near the rear end of the box body 1. The lugs 1b on the upper side of the box body 1 are thicker in the front-to-back direction than the lugs 1b on the lower side of the box body 1. Two through holes 4 are provided on the lugs 1b on the lower side of the box body 1, for mounting and fixing to the wall and fixing the mounting plate 6, respectively. A protruding thin rib 1i is provided around the through hole 4 on the rear side of the lug 1b, and the rear side of the thin rib 1i is flush with the rear end face of the box body 1.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner side of the rear end of the box body 1 has four forward-protruding block-shaped bosses 1c. The four bosses 1c are arranged at the four corners of a quadrilateral and are all located close to the inner wall of the box body 1, opposite to the positions of the four lugs 1b. Mounting holes 3 are provided through the four bosses 1c along the front-rear direction. The sides of the four bosses 1c have reinforcing ribs 1d that connect the bosses 1c and the sides of the box body 1 as a whole, and the connection point between the reinforcing ribs 1d and the side wall of the box body 1 is located between the lugs 1b and the bosses 1c. The inner side of the rear end of the box body 1 also has four protruding strip-shaped ribs 1e. A strip-shaped rib 1e is provided between any two adjacent bosses 1c, and the strip-shaped ribs 1e connect the two adjacent bosses 1c and the rear end of the box body 1 as a whole. In this embodiment, the strip-shaped ribs 1e are arranged in a two-horizontal-two-vertical configuration. The two vertically arranged strip-shaped ribs 1e have protruding triangular-section reinforcing portions 1f between their front ends and the side walls of the bosses 1c.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the rear end face of the box body 1 has a recessed annular mounting groove 1g around the mounting hole 3, and the side wall of the box body 1 located on the side of the mounting groove 1g has a recessed notch 1h.
[0036] For ease of installation, the inner wall of the top of the box 1 has a protruding, elongated indicator rib. This indicator rib is positioned near the mounting opening 1a at the top of the box 1 to indicate the top position of the entire box 1, preventing incorrect installation orientation. The outer side of the middle section of the box 1 has several recessed, annular cutting grooves for cutting off excess material from the front end of the box 1 after installation. The outer sides of both the top and bottom of the box 1 have recessed, rectangular label grooves, the depth of which is the same as the depth of the cutting grooves, for attaching labels. The inner hole shape of the mounting plate 6 is the same as the outer shape of the box 1. The mounting plate 6 can be fitted onto the outer side of the box 1 and fixed to the lug 1b or connecting part 1j as needed.
[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the lid 2 has a protruding, annular positioning part 2a. The side of the positioning part 2a facing the box body 1 is flat, and this flat surface can abut against the front face of the box body 1 when the rear end of the lid 2 is inserted into the front opening of the box body 1, thereby limiting the position between the two. The outer side of the rear end of the lid 2 also has several protruding, elongated pressing parts 2b. The length direction of the pressing parts 2b is arranged along the front and rear, and the pressing parts 2b are distributed circumferentially on the four outer sides of the rear end of the lid 2. The pressing parts 2b extend into the front end of the box body 1 and abut tightly against the inner wall of the box body 1.
[0038] The bottom of the lid 2 has an upwardly protruding convex part 2c. The rear side of the convex part 2c is flush with the positioning surface. A forward-recessed recess 2d is formed on the rear side of the convex part 2c. The recess 2d is a square hole, and the bottom surface of the recess 2d is a horizontally set plane. The position of this plane is slightly lower than the outer side of the top of the rear end of the lid 2. A level 5 is installed in the recess 2d. An observation port 2e is formed through the top of the convex part 2c. The size of the observation port 2e is smaller than the size of the top of the level 5 to prevent the level 5 from falling out of the observation port 2e. The front end of the box body 1 can abut against the port of the recess 2d. Since the front end of the box body 1 is fitted onto the outside of the rear end of the lid 2, when the front end of the box body 1 abuts against the positioning part 2a, it can cover the lower part of the recess 2d to prevent the level 5 from falling out.
[0039] like Figures 5-8 As shown, during installation of this wall-mounted box, depending on the actual installation location, the box 1 can be fixed by either using fasteners passing through the lug 1b at the rear end or by using fasteners passing through the connecting part 1j. The position of the mounting plate 6 can also be switched between the two positions according to actual installation needs. The concealed main body 7 can be fixed to several protrusions 1c by fasteners that pass through the mounting holes 3 from back to front. The connecting pipes that connect the concealed main body 7 and the pre-embedded pipes can be installed through the mounting opening 1a on the side of the box 1. The entire installation and fixing process is relatively convenient.
