AI Technical Summary
In the traditional valve seat assembly process, the rubber ring is prone to displacement, resulting in poor sealing. The assembly is cumbersome and the yield rate is low, which is especially evident when assembling non-metallic valve seats with metal inlet and outlet water pipes.
The valve seat and the housing are integrated by using a rubber-coating molding method, forming a valve seat assembly structure with high sealing performance and tight assembly. The rubber-coating molding method of the housing improves the tightness and integration of the valve seat and the housing, and avoids the displacement of the sealing ring.
It improves sealing performance and sealing reliability, reduces the complexity of assembly, and increases yield and assembly speed.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to an integrated valve seat assembly structure with rubber coating. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional metal faucets, where the valve seat and inlet / outlet pipes are both metal, are typically connected by direct welding, as provided in the patent (CN214789281U).
[0003] When the valve seat is made of non-metallic material, while the inlet / outlet pipes and valve body are metal, rubber rings are typically assembled first at the inlet / outlet holes on the valve seat, then the inlet / outlet pipes are assembled, and finally, the metal valve body holes and the inlet / outlet pipes are welded together at the closest points, as per the instruction manual. Figure 21 Because the rubber rings may shift during the secondary assembly of the inlet and outlet pipes, they may not be on the same plane, resulting in poor sealing. Furthermore, repeatedly inserting and removing the rubber rings wastes manpower and increases the product defect rate. Alternatively, rubber gaskets can be used instead of rubber rings, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 22 However, this method also has the problems of poor sealing and complicated process and high requirements due to the need to insert rubber gaskets multiple times. Utility Model Content
