Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathroom products, and particularly relates to a shower faucet structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the installation structure of the shower faucet is usually provided with a movable hexagon nut at the water inlet end of the faucet body, and the elbow has threads at both ends, one end of which is used to be connected with the water outlet connector on the wall, and the other end is used to be connected with the hexagon nut. During installation, the elbow is first connected with the water outlet connector, then the flange plate is sleeved into the elbow, and finally the hexagon nut is screwed with the elbow to fix the faucet body on the wall. However, due to the installation tools and manual installation of cold and hot water outlets, the installation center hole position deviation and the problem of different depths may occur. If the gap between the two water outlets is large, it will cause the hexagon nut to be unable to install and the faucet body to be tilted. Even if it is forced to install, the effective connection length of the elbow will be different, which will result in too short thread connection length of the elbow and hexagon nut and insufficient strength. Moreover, it is troublesome to adjust the elbow during the entire installation process, and the installation is time-consuming. In addition, although the flange plate in this structure can shield the elbow and the wall hole, the exposed hexagon nut affects the appearance and reduces the overall level of the shower faucet. Therefore, as disclosed in Chinese patent CN215802015U, a second decorative cover is provided to shield the nut to improve the appearance of the shower faucet. However, the setting of the second decorative cover will also produce a step or joint surface between the shower faucet and the first decorative cover when shielding the nut, which has limited improvement in appearance and has also increased the difficulty of installation to some extent.

[0035] Example

[0036] Combination Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a shower faucet structure, which is attached to the wall 1.

[0037] The water outlet connector includes a faucet body 2, an elbow 3, and a decorative cover 4. The faucet body 2 has a connector 21 installed or formed on its inlet. The connector 21 has an installation cavity 211. The decorative cover 4 is fitted on the outside of the connector 21 and can move along the axial direction of the connector 21. One end of the elbow 3 has a threaded part 31 for connecting with the water outlet connector, and the other end is equipped with an assembly part 32 inserted into the installation cavity 211. The assembly part 32 is configured to move along the axial direction of the installation cavity 211 to adjust the faucet body 2 to be parallel to the wall surface, and is locked and limited by a locking member 5 provided through the side wall of the installation cavity 211.

[0038] Exemplarily, the locking member 5 is a hexagonal screw, and the connecting member 21 is provided with a threaded hole arranged in the through installation cavity 211 of the outer wall. During installation, the two elbows 3 are respectively screwed into the cold water outlet connector and the hot water outlet connector, the decorative cover 4 is sleeved on the connecting member 21, then the faucet body 2 is held by hand, the installation cavity 211 of the connecting member 21 is aligned with the assembly part 32 of the elbow 3 and is inserted, when the connecting member 21 abuts against the wall surface, or the faucet body 2 is adjusted manually to be parallel to the wall surface, the locking member 5 is locked to fix the elbow 3 and the connecting member 21, so that the faucet body 2 is fixed on the wall body 1. Finally, the decorative cover 4 is moved along the axial direction of the connecting member 21 to be attached to the wall surface. The installation is convenient and fast. Specifically, the outer wall of the assembly part 32 is concavely provided with a limiting groove 321, and the locking member 5 abuts against the wall surface of the limiting groove 321. The groove width of the limiting groove 321 is the range in which the assembly part 32 can move in the installation cavity 211.

[0039] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the assembly part 32 is arranged on the elbow 3, and the installation cavity 211 for the movement of the assembly part 32 is arranged on the connecting member 21, so that the elbow 3 can move in the axial direction, and the faucet body 2 can be adjusted to be parallel to the wall surface. Referring to Figure 2 Even if the exposed lengths of the two elbows 3 are different after being connected with the water outlet connectors, they can be adjusted to the same horizontal plane, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the shower faucet structure during installation, overcoming the problems of position deviation and uneven depth of the water outlet connectors. Moreover, the adjustment is convenient, and only needs to move the assembly part 32 along the installation cavity 211 of the connecting member 21. In addition, the arrangement of the connecting member 21 can simplify the installation, and there is no need to arrange a hexagonal nut exposed to the faucet body 2, so that the appearance is more simple and beautiful, the beauty of the appearance is improved, and the grade and market competitiveness of the shower faucet are improved.

[0040] In another embodiment, the threaded part 31 and the assembly part 32 are arranged eccentrically, and the threaded part 31 is arranged to be at least partially extendable into the installation cavity 211. Thus, when the exposed lengths of the two elbows to the wall surface are greatly different after installation, the threaded part 31 can extend into the installation cavity 211 to increase the adjustment range and adjustment capacity of the installation error. Preferably, the outer periphery of the elbow 3 is provided with an operation surface 33 for clamping by a jig or assembly tool, so as to facilitate the connection of the elbow 3 with the water outlet connector.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the connector 21 furthest from the elbow 3 is positioned close to the outer wall of the faucet body 2 and is fixed to the inlet via a locking connector 22. For example, the outer diameter of the inlet of the faucet body 2 is the same as the outer diameter of the connector 21. The flow channels on the elbow 3 and the locking connector 22 are connected by a connecting nut 23. One end of the connecting nut 23 is connected to the locking connector 22 to form an assembly cavity for assembling the check valve 24, and the other end is inserted into the assembly portion 32 of the elbow 3 and fitted with a sealing ring 231 for sealing against the inner wall of the assembly portion 32. Water flows from the outlet connector sequentially through the elbow 3, the connecting nut 23, the check valve 24, and the locking connector 22 before entering the inlet. The sealing ring 231 on the connecting nut 23, fitted inside the assembly portion 32, prevents the sealing ring 231 from being scratched by the locking member 5 during assembly and disassembly, thus preventing a decrease in sealing performance or leakage. This ensures the sealing between the elbow 3 and the connecting nut 23.

[0042] Furthermore, the locking connector 22 and the water inlet, as well as the locking connector 22 and the connecting nut 23, are all connected by threads. For example, the connector 21 is cylindrical and has a positioning groove 212 at the end facing the faucet body 2. The faucet body 2 is fitted with a positioning pin 25 corresponding to the positioning groove 212. The positioning pin 25 engages with the positioning groove 212 to restrict the rotation of the connector 21. During installation, first align and engage the positioning groove 212 and positioning pin 25 on the connector 21, then tighten the locking connector 22 to the water inlet to fix the connector 21 to the faucet body 2. Next, insert the check valve 24 and tighten the connecting nut 23 to the locking connector 22. It should be noted that both the locking connector 22 and the connecting nut 23 have holes along the axial direction for inserting a hex wrench to facilitate disassembly and assembly. The threaded connection facilitates disassembly and assembly, making it convenient for maintenance and cleaning of the check valve 24. Meanwhile, the locking connector 22 and the connecting nut 23 are both located inside the connector 21, making the appearance simpler and more beautiful, and making the faucet body 2 easier to manufacture and lower in cost while ensuring aesthetics.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, a filter screen 232 is provided at the end of the connecting nut 23 inserted into the assembly part 32. This is used to filter large particles in the water flow. During disassembly and cleaning, simply remove the locking member 5 and pull the faucet body 2 away from the wall 1 to expose the filter screen 232, which facilitates cleaning and replacement of the filter screen 232 by the user.

[0044] In other embodiments, the decorative cover 4 is a flange with a built-in sealing element 41 for sealing with the outer wall of the connector 21. Specifically, the decorative cover 4 has a recessed sealing groove, and the sealing element 41 is an O-ring placed in the sealing groove. When the decorative cover 4 is fitted onto the outer diameter of the connector 21, it can slide along the axial direction of the connector 21. The sealing element 41 can enhance the friction between the decorative cover 4 and the connector 21, prevent the decorative cover 4 from shaking arbitrarily, and also prevent external water flow and dirt from entering the connector 21.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
