Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pre-embedded box, and more particularly to a depth adjustment structure for a pre-embedded box. Background Technology

[0002] When installing a faucet pre-embedded box, a groove needs to be made in the wall first, and the pre-embedded box is fixedly installed in the groove. However, in actual installation, the depth of the groove often deviates from the distance between the front and back of the pre-embedded box, so that after the pre-embedded box is inserted, the panel on the pre-embedded box cannot be parallel to the tile.

[0003] In existing technologies, embedded boxes generally lack depth adjustment structures. When the surface of the embedded box cannot be parallel to the tile, the common practice is to add a shim plate to the back of the embedded box and adjust the installation depth of the embedded box by adding or removing the shim plate, thereby adjusting the embedded box panel to be parallel to the tile. However, this adjustment method is relatively complicated and cannot use the embedded box itself to adjust the installation depth.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pre-embedded box with a built-in depth adjustment structure. Utility Model Content

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 7 An adjustable depth structure for a pre-embedded box, applied in the faucet industry, includes a box body 1. Side plates 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the box body 1. Positioning members 2 are movably mounted on the side plates 11. The positioning members 2 have mounting holes 21, which are used to fix the positioning members 2 to the wall (specifically, a groove in the wall). The box body 1 can move back and forth relative to the positioning members 2. The positioning members 2 are provided with fixing parts (including a first fixing part 22 and a second fixing part 13), and the side plates 11 are provided with connecting parts (including a first connecting part 111 and a second connecting part 112). The fixing parts and connecting parts are positioned back and forth, and the distance between them is adjusted by adjusting screws. In actual installation, the pre-embedded box is first embedded in the wall, and the positioning members 2 are first fixed to the wall. Then, the back-and-forth distance between the fixing parts and the connecting parts is adjusted with a screwdriver, allowing the box body 1 to move back and forth relative to the positioning members 2, thereby adjusting the depth of the box body 1. This eliminates the need for a shim plate to adjust the depth of the box body 1, simplifying the method of adjusting the depth of the pre-embedded box.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the middle part of the positioning member 2 is pivotally connected to the middle part of the side plate 11, and the box body 1 can rotate relative to the positioning member 2; the upper part of the positioning member 2 is provided with a first fixing part 22, and the upper part of the side plate 11 is provided with a first connecting part 111. The first fixing part 22 and the first connecting part 111 are arranged front to back and connected together by a first adjusting screw 31. The first adjusting screw 31 adjusts the front-to-back distance between the first fixing part 22 and the first connecting part 111; the lower part of the positioning member 2 is provided with a second fixing part 23, and the lower part of the side plate 11 is provided with a second connecting part 112. The second fixing part 23 and the second connecting part 112 are arranged front to back and connected together by a second adjusting screw 32. The second adjusting screw 32 adjusts the front-to-back distance between the second fixing part 23 and the second connecting part 112. When adjusting the depth, first adjust the depth of the upper side of the box 1 by adjusting the first adjusting screw 31, and then adjust the lower side of the box 1 by adjusting the second adjusting screw 32, so that the lower side is parallel to the upper side, and finally the panel and the tile are coplanar, thus completing the depth adjustment.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the first fixing part 22 and the second fixing part 23 are symmetrical vertically, the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112 are symmetrical vertically, and the pivot position is located between the first fixing part 22 and the second fixing part 23 (between the first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 112).

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a first elongated hole 24 is provided on the rear side of the fixing part. The first elongated hole 24 has a certain length and is arranged in the front-back direction. The connecting part passes through the first elongated hole 24 and is installed together with the positioning member 2. The adjusting screw adjusts the front-back position of the connecting part on the first elongated hole 24.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing part is provided with a through hole 25, and the connecting part is provided with a mounting groove 113. A nut 114 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 113. The nut 114 is a hexagonal nut, which is adapted to the mounting groove 113 and cannot rotate within the mounting groove 113. The adjusting screw includes a nut and a screw rod. The diameter of the through hole 25 is smaller than the diameter of the nut. The adjusting screw passes through the through hole 25 from front to back (the screw rod is limited within the through hole 25). The screw rod is screwed onto the nut 114, and the nut abuts against the front side of the fixing part. Depth adjustment principle: The nut abuts against the front side of the fixing part, and the connecting part is located behind the fixing part. By rotating the adjusting screw, the nut 114 can drive the connecting part (i.e., the entire housing 1) to move back and forth along the screw rod. The connecting part moves closer to or further away from the fixing part in the back-and-forth direction, thereby achieving depth adjustment in the back-and-forth direction.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the box is adjusted to its maximum depth, the distance between the fixing part and the connecting part is at its maximum, and the limiting screw 33 is located at the foremost side of the second elongated hole 115; refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the box is adjusted to its minimum depth, the distance between the fixing part and the connecting part is the minimum, and the limiting screw 33 is located on the last side of the second elongated hole 115.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning member 2 is further provided with a guide plate 26. The guide plate 26 is elongated and is located on the front side of the fixing part. The guide plate 26 is provided with a guide hole 261. The guide hole 261 is coaxial with the through hole 25. The diameter of the guide hole 261 is larger than the diameter of the nut, so that the screwdriver can pass through the guide hole 261 to adjust the adjusting screw.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning member 2 has a screw hole 27 in the middle, and the side plate 11 has a second elongated hole 115 in the middle. The second elongated hole 115 has a certain length and is arranged in the front-back direction. The screw hole 27 and the second elongated hole 115 are connected together by a limiting screw 33. The limiting screw 33 passes through the second elongated hole 115 and the screw hole 27 in sequence and is screwed into the screw hole 27. The positioning member 2 can rotate around the limiting screw 33. The limiting screw 33 can drive the positioning member 2 to move back and forth along the length direction of the second elongated hole 115. When adjusting the first adjusting screw 31 or the second adjusting screw 32, the box body 1 moves back and forth and rotates around the limiting screw 33 at the same time.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the box body 1 further includes an outer shell 12, and the side panels 11 are detachably connected to the left and right sides of the outer shell 12.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, positioning holes 121 are provided at both ends of the outer casing 12, and positioning posts 116 are provided on the side plate 11, the positioning posts 116 being inserted into the positioning holes 121; first fixing holes 122 are also provided at both ends of the outer casing 12, and second fixing holes 117 are provided on the side plate 11, the first fixing holes 122 and the second fixing holes 117 being connected together by fixing screws 34.
