Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a thermostatic faucet, and more particularly to a split-type thermostatic faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A thermostatic faucet is a type of faucet that uses a thermostatic valve core to mix cold and hot water to create a pre-set temperature of warm water. Therefore, thermostatic faucets are typically installed in bathrooms. Since thermostatic faucets are used in conjunction with washbasins, which are typically wall-mounted, the installation location of the thermostatic faucet is extremely close to the wall. If the thermostatic valve core malfunctions and requires repair, the space available for disassembly is limited by the wall, making the disassembly process difficult. Furthermore, the faucet body is a single unit, with the thermostatic valve core directly installed within its cavity. While removing the thermostatic faucet from the plumbing system first allows for quick removal of the valve core, it necessitates reinstalling the faucet body after installing a new valve core, significantly increasing workload and impacting overall disassembly efficiency.

[0026] The use method of the utility model is as follows:

[0027] Since the thermostatic valve seat 6 is fixedly connected with the faucet body 1 through the dismounting structure, the thermostatic valve seat 6 can be quickly dismounted from the faucet body 1 only through the dismounting structure, so that the thermostatic valve seat 6 and the faucet body 1 become two independent individuals, the faucet body 1 is installed on the pipeline system through the water inlet connector 5 and the water outlet connector 4 thereof, and the thermostatic valve core 8 is arranged in the valve core cavity 7 on the thermostatic valve seat 6. Therefore, when the thermostatic valve core 8 is damaged, the thermostatic faucet does not need to be dismounted from the pipeline system as a whole, but only needs to be dismounted from the faucet body 1. After the thermostatic valve seat 6 is dismounted, sufficient operation space can be obtained for dismounting the thermostatic valve core 8, so that the thermostatic faucet is dismounted from the pipeline system as a whole due to the small space for dismounting the thermostatic valve core 8. During the entire dismounting process, the faucet body 1 is always fixedly installed on the pipeline system, so that the trouble of dismounting the thermostatic faucet from the pipeline system and then installing the thermostatic faucet on the pipeline system is effectively reduced, a large amount of time is saved, and the actual dismounting efficiency of the thermostatic valve core 8 is effectively ensured.
