[0038] The panel component 5 is screwed together with the connector of the hot and cold mixing body 29 using anti-theft screws. The anti-theft screws serve as a security feature.
[0039] See Figures 4 to 6 A indicates pressing the water shut-off button and popping it up to turn on the water; B indicates the water inlet path; C indicates the water outlet path. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: cold and hot water enter from the cold inlet 31 and hot inlet 32 at the left and right ends of the hot and cold mixing body 29, respectively, and then enter the hot and cold temperature control valve core 16 through two check valves 20. Rotating the handle 6 (i.e., the handwheel) to the left will increase the temperature of the mixed water, and rotating it to the right will decrease the temperature of the mixed water. The mixed water is controlled by the handle 6 to adjust the flow ratio of the hot and cold temperature control valve core 16 by opening and closing the cold water inlet and hot water inlet in its inner cavity, thereby obtaining a suitable water temperature. The water that reaches the set water temperature enters the upper water distribution body 28 and the lower inner water distribution body. According to the opening status of the button valve core 22 of the two water distribution bodies, as the button valve core 22 is opened, the water at the set temperature flows out from the mixed water outlet 33 and enters the shower or shower head. The button valve core 22 controls the water distribution shower function.
[0040] This switch valve can be fully heated or fully cooled. By turning the handwheel (handle 6) to the left to the valve core limit point, it is fully heated; when turned to the right to the limit point, it is fully cooled. This structural and functional setting is also present in existing products and is common knowledge, so there is no need to elaborate on the specific structure.
[0041] This embodiment also has the following advantages:
[0042] 1) The switch valve components adopt a cast segmented main body (upper water distribution main body 28, lower water distribution main body 25 and hot and cold mixing main body 29), which increases the casting qualification rate to 98%. The casting non-red stamping rapid forming process is adopted, which allows the high temperature liquid to flow slowly according to the fluid dynamics. The internal stress of the material is uniform and there will be no cracking, which makes the service life of each main body longer.
[0043] 2) The main body 3 of the switch valve component is composed of three parts: the upper and lower parts are the water distribution body, and the middle part is the hot and cold mixing body 29, which facilitates machining and manufacturing and improves the production qualification rate.
[0044] 3) The upper water distribution body 28 and the lower water distribution body 25 of this switch valve component are designed to be symmetrical, so even if they are installed in reverse during construction, it will not affect their use.
[0045] 4) All hardware parts of this switch valve are CNC automated machining, with precise control, making assembly convenient and simple.
[0046] 5) The switch valve component is equipped with a double check valve 20 to prevent cold and hot water from mixing and to prevent sudden changes in temperature; with the check valve 20, backflow of water is also prevented, so that water can be dispensed immediately when the valve is turned on.
[0047] 6) The switching valve component is equipped with a default-open temperature control valve core (i.e., hot and cold temperature control switching valve core 16, with valve core rubber part 15 on the valve core), which only requires temperature adjustment and is convenient to use.
[0048] 7) All the accessories involved in the switch valve component, including the two inlet threads and two outlet threads, are internal threads to prevent damage and facilitate the change of thread specifications (such as G1 / 2, NPSM1 / 2, NPT1 / 2, etc.) to meet the needs of different countries.
[0049] 8) The two water-dividing button valve cores 22 can be opened and closed simultaneously, allowing users to enjoy both the overhead shower and handheld shower functions at the same time, and also making it convenient for two people to shower.
[0050] 9) Panel component 5 can be freely interchanged in appearance, and the same product can meet the needs of different customers who purchase externally.
[0051] 10) Correction of processing errors: Since the main body does not directly extend the sleeve accessories to the panel, the design of the empty space around the button switch allows the panel component 5 to be directly connected with an error of 1.5mm on one side. In other words, the deviation of 1.5mm on one side of the center dimension of the three holes of the panel component 5 has no effect. The non-vertical processing of the main body of the key water distribution does not affect the installation, which greatly corrects the error and improves the finished product qualification rate.
[0052] 11) Comparison before and after construction: During and after construction, it can be seen that this concealed product is equipped with a concealed box (concealed box base 1, concealed box cover 2 and protective cover 4), which provides better protection for the product and prevents dirt such as cement from entering during construction; it is equipped with wall embedment depth markings, and the protective cover 4 is designed with an angle to facilitate the construction personnel to remove and reinstall the panel component 5, making it flat and beautiful.
[0053] 12) A level 30 is provided on the protective cover 4, which can effectively prevent the entire switch valve component from being installed crookedly.
[0054] 13) Panel component 5 is equipped with anti-theft screws, which can serve as a simple anti-theft measure.
[0055] 14) The valve box components are aesthetically pleasing and modern: the overall design is simpler and cleaner, in line with modern decoration style.
[0056] 15) Easy to clean and maintain: The main body is inside the wall and is not easily affected by dirt and scale. Only the panel needs to be cleaned. It is easy to clean and maintain, keeping it clean and hygienic.
