Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of faucet technology, specifically an integrated and convenient faucet. Background Technology
[0002] In modern life, faucets, as important devices for controlling water flow and regulating water temperature, are widely used in various places such as kitchens and bathrooms. As people's living standards improve, higher requirements are placed on the performance, appearance, and ease of use of faucets.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of faucets on the market. Functionally, they can be roughly divided into ordinary single-control faucets and hot and cold dual-control faucets. Ordinary single-control faucets have a relatively simple structure and can only control the flow of water, but cannot adjust the water temperature. They are generally used in scenarios where the water temperature requirement is not high. Hot and cold dual-control faucets, on the other hand, have the function of adjusting the water temperature. Their basic structure usually includes a body, valve core, switch, inlet, and outlet. By turning or pressing the switch, the action of the valve core is controlled, thereby adjusting the mixing ratio of cold and hot water to achieve the purpose of adjusting the water temperature.
[0004] In terms of sealing, existing faucets usually employ some sealing measures, such as using sealing rings to prevent water leakage. For example, sealing rings are set at the connection between the body and the base, and at the contact points between the valve core and other components. In terms of appearance design, in order to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers, there are also a variety of styles to choose from.
[0005] Although existing faucets use sealing rings for sealing, the sealing structure design is often not perfect. Some faucets only have sealing rings in a few key parts, making it difficult to form a comprehensive sealing system. During long-term use, due to the impact of water flow and wear of parts, the sealing rings are prone to aging and deformation, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance and leakage. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an integrated and convenient faucet, which solves the problem that in the long-term use of the existing sealing structure, the sealing ring is prone to aging and deformation due to the impact of water flow and wear of components, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance and water leakage.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated convenient faucet, comprising a main body, a fixed base threadedly connected to the bottom of the main body, a valve core snapped into the fixed base, a valve stem installed at the bottom of the valve core, a pressure cap installed above the valve core, the pressure cap being threadedly connected to the fixed base, the valve stem movably passing through the pressure cap and extending into the interior of the main body, a hot / cold switch rotatably connected to one side of the main body, the other end of the valve stem located inside the hot / cold switch, a first sealing ring provided between the main body and the fixed base, a second sealing ring snapped into the outer ring of the top of the pressure cap, a convex ring fixedly installed at the middle position of the top of the pressure cap, and multiple sets of fourth sealing rings snapped into the outer side of the convex ring, the hot / cold switch having a T-shaped structure, and the thickness of the hot / cold switch being the same as the thickness of the main body, and an installation groove for use with the pressure cap and the valve stem being opened at one end of the main body.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom of the fixed base is provided with a hot and cold water inlet, the main body is provided with a drain outlet for use with the hot and cold water inlet, and the other end of the main body is provided with a water outlet for use with the hot and cold water inlet and the drain outlet.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom of the pressure cap fits into the top of the valve core, and the pressure cap has multiple sets of through holes for use with the drain outlet.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a third sealing ring is snapped between the pressure cap and the fixed base.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the main body is provided with a slot for use with the hot / cold switch, and the slot is provided with a threaded groove for use with the hot / cold switch. The slot is also a T-shaped structure.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. By utilizing the first, second, third, and fourth sealing rings at different critical locations, water leakage is effectively prevented.

[0021] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated and convenient faucet technical solution:
[0023] The device includes a main body 1, a fixed base 4 threadedly connected to the bottom of the main body 1, a valve core 10 snapped into the fixed base 4, a valve stem 9 installed at the bottom of the valve core 10, a pressure cap 11 installed above the valve core 10, the pressure cap 11 threadedly connected to the fixed base 4, the valve stem 9 moving through the pressure cap 11 and extending into the interior of the main body 1, a hot / cold switch 2 rotatably connected to one side of the main body 1, the other end of the valve stem 9 located inside the hot / cold switch 2, a first sealing ring 6 provided between the main body 1 and the fixed base 4, a second sealing ring 12 snapped into the outer ring of the top of the pressure cap 11, a convex ring fixedly installed at the middle position of the top of the pressure cap 11, and multiple sets of fourth sealing rings 17 snapped into the outer side of the convex ring, the hot / cold switch 2 having a T-shaped structure, and the thickness of the hot / cold switch 2 being the same as the thickness of the main body 1, and an installation groove 14 for use with the pressure cap 11 and the valve stem 9 at one end of the main body 1;
[0024] Specifically, the first sealing ring 6 is located between the main body 1 and the fixed base 4, preventing water from seeping out from the connection gap between the main body 1 and the fixed base 4, thus avoiding water entering under the mounting surface and causing problems such as moisture or damage to the surface. The second sealing ring 12 is snapped onto the top outer ring of the pressure cap 11, which is used to fix the valve core 10. The second sealing ring 12 prevents water leakage from the contact point between the pressure cap 11 and surrounding components. Multiple sets of fourth sealing rings 17 located outside the central convex ring at the top of the pressure cap 11 further enhance the sealing effect inside the pressure cap 11, preventing water from flowing out from the gap between the valve stem 9 and the pressure cap 11, effectively preventing water leakage. The hot / cold switch 2 rotates and connects. On one side of the main body 1, when in the closed state, the hot and cold switch 2 forms an integral structure with the main body 1. This is because the hot and cold switch 2 has a T-shaped structure design and its thickness is the same as that of the main body 1. From the appearance, the two are integrated, which improves the overall aesthetics. When it is necessary to turn on the faucet to adjust the water temperature, the hot and cold switch 2 is turned backward. The inner side of the hot and cold switch 2 is connected to the valve stem 9. The rotating hot and cold switch 2 will drive the valve stem 9 to move. The valve stem 9 then drives the valve opening and position inside the valve core 10 to change. The valve core 10 controls the channels of cold water and hot water. By changing the state of the valve opening, the flow rate of cold water and hot water can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the water temperature.
[0025] The bottom of the fixed base 4 is provided with hot and cold water inlets 5, and the main body 1 is provided with drain outlets 13 for use with hot and cold water inlets 5. The other end of the main body 1 is provided with outlets 7 for use with hot and cold water inlets 5 and drain outlets 13. The bottom of the pressure cap 11 fits with the top of the valve core 10, and the pressure cap 11 is provided with multiple sets of through holes 15 for use with drain outlets 13. A third sealing ring 16 is snapped between the pressure cap 11 and the fixed base 4. The main body 1 is provided with slots 3 for use with hot and cold switches 2. The slots 3 are provided with threaded grooves 8 for use with hot and cold switches 2. The slots 3 are also T-shaped structures.
[0026] Specifically, the hot and cold water inlets 5 at the bottom of the fixed base 4 can respectively introduce cold and hot water, and the drain outlet 13 inside the main body 1 cooperates with them, allowing cold and hot water to smoothly enter the faucet. The outlet 7 at the other end of the main body 1 cooperates with the hot and cold water inlets 5 and the drain outlet 13, allowing the mixed water regulated by the valve core 10 to flow smoothly out of the outlet 7. This structure ensures smooth water flow and avoids water accumulation or eddies inside the faucet. The bottom of the pressure cap 11 fits into the top of the valve core 10, which can tightly fix the valve core 10 and prevent the valve core 10 from shaking or shifting during use. This helps to ensure the normal operation of the valve core 10. This improves the accuracy and stability of the valve core 10 in regulating water flow and temperature. The third sealing ring 16, which is snapped between the gland 11 and the fixed base 4, further enhances the sealing performance between the two. It can prevent water from leaking from the connection gap between the gland 11 and the fixed base 4. The slot 3 and the threaded groove 8 in the slot 3 on the main body 1, which are used in conjunction with the hot and cold switch 2, provide precise positioning and a stable connection for the installation of the hot and cold switch 2. The threaded groove 8 can make the connection between the hot and cold switch 2 and the main body 1 tighter, preventing the hot and cold switch 2 from loosening or shaking. At the same time, the design of the slot 3 also makes it easier for users to operate the hot and cold switch 2, making the rotation of the hot and cold switch 2 smoother.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] First, the cold and hot water inlets 5 at the bottom of the fixed base 4 are connected to the cold water and hot water pipes respectively. The cold water and hot water enter the faucet system through these two inlets. The cold water and hot water will flow along the drain outlet 13 in the main body 1. The drain outlet 13 plays a role in guiding the direction of water flow, ensuring that the cold water and hot water can smoothly reach the valve core 10.
[0029] Secondly, when the user needs to use hot or cold water or adjust to a suitable water temperature, they will operate the hot / cold switch 2, which is rotatably connected to one side of the main body 1. The hot / cold switch 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the main body 1. When in the closed state, the hot / cold switch 2 and the main body 1 form an integrated structure. This is because of the T-shaped design of the hot / cold switch 2, and its thickness is the same as that of the main body 1. From an aesthetic perspective, the two are integrated, improving the overall appearance. Since the inside of the hot / cold switch 2 is connected to the valve stem 9, rotating the hot / cold switch 2 will cause the valve stem 9 to move, and the valve stem 9... Connected to the bottom of the valve core 10 installed in the fixed base 4, the movement of the valve stem 9 will drive the valve opening and position inside the valve core 10 to change. As a key component for controlling water flow and water temperature, the valve core 10 can precisely adjust the flow ratio of cold water and hot water entering from the cold and hot water inlets 5 by changing the state of the valve opening. For example, if hotter water is needed, the valve core 10 will increase the opening of the hot water channel and decrease the opening of the cold water channel; conversely, if colder water is needed, it will increase the opening of the cold water channel and decrease the opening of the hot water channel.
[0030] It is worth mentioning that the first sealing ring 6 is located between the main body 1 and the fixed base 4 to prevent water from seeping out from the connection gap between the two and avoid damaging the mounting surface; the second sealing ring 12 is snapped on the top outer ring of the pressure cap 11 to prevent water from leaking from the contact point between the pressure cap 11 and the surrounding parts; the third sealing ring 16 between the pressure cap 11 and the fixed base 4 further enhances the seal between the two; multiple sets of fourth sealing rings 17 located outside the middle convex ring on the top of the pressure cap 11 can prevent water from flowing out from the gap between the valve stem 9 and the pressure cap 11. These sealing rings work together to form a comprehensive sealing system, effectively preventing water leakage and ensuring the normal use of the faucet and the dryness and cleanliness of the surrounding environment;
[0031] Finally, the cold and hot water, whose flow ratios have been adjusted by the valve core 10, mix inside the faucet. The mixed water flows out of the faucet through multiple through holes 15 on the pressure cap 11 and then through the outlet 7 for user use. Meanwhile, the slot 3 on the main body 1, which is compatible with the hot and cold switch 2, and the threaded groove 8 within the slot 3, provide precise installation positioning and a stable connection for the hot and cold switch 2, ensuring smooth operation of the hot and cold switch 2 and further enhancing the user experience.
[0032] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
