Abstract

The utility model provides a constant-temperature bathtub faucet, and belongs to the technical field of bathroom accessories. The sealing element solves the problems that in the installation process of an existing sealing element, due to independence of a sealing ring, the sealing ring can fall off easily in the installation process, the sealing ring needs to be manually placed at the joint of a water pipe and a faucet, and when the faucet is in matched threaded connection with the water pipe, if the position of the sealing ring deflects, the sealing performance is affected, and the service life of the sealing element is prolonged. And the use requirements cannot be met. The constant-temperature bathtub faucet comprises a faucet body with a water inlet and a water outlet, a hot water switch and a cold water switch which are used for controlling the faucet body to be opened and closed are installed at the two ends of the faucet body, a water passing pipeline used for water passing is arranged among the hot water switch, the cold water switch and the faucet, and a fixing base is arranged in the faucet body and is hollow. The fixed seat is communicated with the water passing pipeline, and a water outlet hose which is connected with the water passing pipeline and is used for discharging water is mounted on the fixed seat. The sealing structure has the advantage that the sealing performance is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bathroom technology, and specifically relates to a thermostatic bathtub faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a valve that controls the release of liquids or gases. A valve faucet is a type of fluid valve that is typically used to control the flow rate and has water-saving features.

[0003] Sealing elements are typically fitted between faucets and water pipes to reduce the gap between them and prevent leaks. However, during installation, the independent nature of the sealing ring makes it prone to falling off. This requires manual placement of the sealing ring at the connection between the water pipe and the faucet. Furthermore, if the sealing ring is misaligned when the faucet and water pipe are connected by threads, it will affect the sealing performance and fail to meet usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a sealed thermostatic bathtub faucet.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A thermostatic bathtub faucet includes a faucet body with an inlet and an outlet. Hot water and cold water switches for controlling the opening and closing of the faucet body are installed at both ends of the faucet body. The faucet body contains a hollow, fixed base connected to the water pipe. A flexible water outlet connected to the water pipe is installed on the fixed base, and a sealing unit is provided between the flexible water outlet and the fixed base. The outlet has a spout connected to the flexible water outlet via a connector. A support column is provided on the outlet, and a sealing component for sealing the outlet is installed on the support column. The sealing component is connected to the support column via bolts.

[0006] In the aforementioned thermostatic bathtub faucet, an annular groove is formed between the spout and the outlet, a slot is provided on the inner wall of the outlet, the sealing assembly has a cover plate connected to the support column, and the cover plate has a circular structure design. An annular sealing gasket for installation in the annular groove is provided inside the cover plate, and an elastic locking block that cooperates with the slot is provided at the end of the annular sealing gasket.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, this thermostatic bathtub faucet achieves a double seal between the spout and the outlet through the interference fit of the annular sealing gasket and the annular groove, as well as the mechanical locking of the elastic block and the slot. This design effectively prevents water leakage and maintains a stable sealing effect even under high pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0011] 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.

[0012] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this thermostatic bathtub faucet includes a faucet body 3 with an inlet 1 and an outlet 2. Hot water and cold water switches are installed at both ends of the faucet body 3 to control its opening and closing. A water pipe 4 is provided between the hot water and cold water switches and the faucet for water flow. A hollow mounting base 5 is installed inside the faucet body 3 and is connected to the water pipe 4. A flexible water outlet hose 6, connected to the water pipe 4, is installed on the mounting base 5 for water outlet. A sealing unit 7 is provided between the water outlet 2 and the fixed base 5. A water outlet 8 is provided on the water outlet 2 for water discharge, and the water outlet 8 is connected to the water outlet hose 6 through the connector 9. A support column 10 is provided on the water outlet 2, and a sealing component for sealing the water outlet 2 is installed on the support column 10. The sealing component is connected to the support column 10 through bolts 11. When the faucet is turned off, there is residual water in the water outlet 8 and the connector 9 to prevent it from falling out of the water outlet 8. The water outlet 8 is sealed by the sealing component.

[0013] To elaborate further, an annular groove 12 is formed between the water outlet 8 and the water outlet 2. A slot 13 is provided on the inner wall of the water outlet 2. The sealing assembly has a cover plate 14 connected to the support column 10, and the cover plate 14 has a circular structure design. An annular sealing gasket 15 for installation in the annular groove 12 is provided inside the cover plate 14. An elastic locking block 16 that cooperates with the slot 13 is provided at the end of the annular sealing gasket 15. The gap between the water outlet 8 and the water outlet 2 is reduced by the cooperation of the annular sealing gasket 15 and the annular groove 12. The connection method of the elastic locking block 16 and the slot 13 improves the stability of the sealing assembly.

[0014] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0015] Although this document frequently uses terms such as inlet 1, outlet 2, faucet body 3, water pipe 4, fixing base 5, water hose 6, sealing unit 7, spout 8, connector 9, support column 10, bolt 11, annular groove 12, slot 13, cover plate 14, annular sealing gasket 15, and elastic locking block 16, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
