TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bathroom products, and particularly relates to a water passing main body and a concealed water passing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventional concealed water passing main bodies are made of metal to ensure durability and stability, but the manufacturing cost is high. To reduce the cost, the industry has shifted to using plastic. However, plastic waterways have a short board in terms of splicing strength, affecting product performance and reliability. To overcome this problem, the industry uses a one-shot injection molding method to form the plastic valve body. However, when dealing with valve bodies with complex waterway passages, the one-shot injection molding method often causes the wall thickness between adjacent pipe bodies to be too thick and uneven, leading to intensified shrinkage during cooling, thus causing shrink marks or shrinkage holes on the surface, seriously affecting the quality and appearance of plastic molding. Therefore, in actual production, two-shot injection molding has become a more common choice. However, this method is not perfect. Although two-shot injection molding can improve the splicing strength of the plastic valve body to some extent, due to the complexity of the waterway passage, the valve body still needs to be divided into multiple parts for processing. This not only increases the complexity and difficulty of injection molding, but also may cause it difficult to achieve perfect sealing effect at the part joint, increasing the risk of water leakage. The main challenge currently faced is how to effectively implement two-shot injection molding to ensure the splicing strength and sealing performance of the plastic valve body in the face of functional diversification and waterway passage complexity.

[0015] From the above description of various embodiments of the utility model, compared with the prior art, the various embodiments of the utility model have the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the first technical solution and related embodiments, the water passing main body adopts a two-shot injection molding process, in which the primary injection molding body integrates at least two pipe bodies extending in parallel along a first direction and a connecting body located between them and extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The connecting body is internally structured with a passage communicating with the two pipe bodies. In order to optimize the mold core pulling process and solve potential quality problems, a notch is designed on the sidewall of at least one pipe body, which faces the passage along the second direction. First, a structure containing the passage is formed by one-time injection molding, which effectively avoids the problem of excessive and uneven wall thickness between adjacent pipe bodies if directly molded as a whole. The unevenness of the wall thickness is prone to cause surface defects such as shrinkage marks or shrinkage holes during the cooling process, while the two-shot injection molding method ensures the uniformity of the wall thickness by forming the passage first and then building the wall thickness, effectively preventing these quality problems. Second, when designing the primary injection molding body, the challenges of mold core pulling are fully considered. If only a single pipe body and a passage are formed, the stability between the mold core and the primary injection molding body will depend on the side wall sealant, which will generate a lot of pressure during the injection molding process, and the secondary injection molding glue will reseal the passage. However, by integrating another pipe body in the primary injection molding body, the pressure of the pipe body on the end face of the passage prevents the secondary injection molding glue from resealing the passage during the injection molding process, ensuring the smoothness of the passage. Finally, in order to solve the problem of mold core pulling between two adjacent and adhered pipe bodies, a mold opening notch is provided on the sidewall of one of the pipe bodies, which allows the mold to be separated from the primary injection molding body during mold core pulling. During the subsequent secondary injection molding process, these notches are closed by the secondary injection molding material, solving the problem of mold core pulling. At the same time, the primary injection molding body does not include a waterway, which is completed in the secondary injection molding body covering the primary injection molding body, ensuring that its sealing position is not directly related to the primary injection molding body, reducing the risk of water leakage.
[0017] In the second technical solution and related embodiments, the three adjacent pipe bodies form a continuous channel through the two connecting bodies. The three pipe bodies and two connecting bodies are integrated into a one-time injection molding body, which is then completely covered by a two-time injection molding process to form the final water passing main body.
[0018] In the third technical solution and related embodiments, the adjacent layout of the first pipe body and the two second pipe bodies ensures that they can form two connecting bodies and build a channel that communicates with all pipe bodies in these connecting bodies to form a one-time injection molding body. The gap facilitates the core pulling of the waterway mold, and the gap is closed when the two-time injection molding body covers the one-time injection molding body.
[0019] In the fourth technical solution and related embodiments, from the perspective of structural design, the water passing main body integrates multiple functional components such as the thermostatic valve body, the first protective body, and the switch valve body, making the entire structure compact and efficient. This integrated design simplifies the installation and maintenance process, improves the stability and reliability of the system. By using two-time injection molding technology, the manufacturing difficulties brought by complex waterway design are solved. In the one-time injection molding process, the basic structure of the thermostatic valve body and the first protective body is formed, providing a solid foundation for subsequent waterway connection. Two-time injection molding further enhances the stability of these structures, allowing the wall thickness of the thermostatic valve body and the first protective body to be controlled, avoiding quality problems such as shrinkage and shrinkage hole caused by uneven wall thickness. It is worth mentioning that all complex waterways are completed in the two-time injection molding process. In this step, the one-time injection molding body is completely wrapped in the newly injected plastic material, ensuring that the sealing position is not directly related to the one-time injection molding body, but is entirely located in the two-time injection molding body. Such a design greatly reduces the risk of water leakage and improves the overall performance and reliability of the product. From the functional perspective, the water passing main body realizes the constant temperature control of water flow through the thermostatic valve body, effectively protects the incoming water through the first protective body, and controls the mixed water flow through the switch valve body. The coordinated work of these functional components enables the entire system to operate efficiently and stably, meeting users' demands for water temperature, flow, and pressure.
[0020] In the fifth technical solution and related embodiments, the addition of the second protective body to the water passing main body brings additional water flow protection. The second protective body is internally provided with a second protective cavity extending in the first direction, which is located on the mixed waterway and used to install the second protective component. This design allows the water flow to be further protected by the second protective component during its passage through the mixed waterway to the outlet waterway.
[0021] In the sixth technical solution and related embodiments, by equipping the water passing main body with two switch valve bodies, two mixed water inlets, and two outlet waterways, water flow is split and independently controlled.
[0022] In the seventh technical solution and related embodiments, the positions of the water outlet path and the water inlet path are reasonably arranged to optimize the space utilization and improve the overall aesthetics and practicality of the water passing main body. The water outlet path and the water inlet path are spaced apart along the bottom of the first direction of the main body to avoid direct interference between them and ensure smooth flow of water.
[0023] In the eighth technical solution and related embodiments, the inner thread structure is added to the inner wall to facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the water passing main body. The inner thread structure can tightly cooperate with the corresponding valve core outer thread component to ensure that they are stably installed in the valve cavity and are not easy to loosen or leak. In the process of secondary injection molding, a copper insert is added to the injection mold, and the copper insert is combined with the injection material during the injection molding process, thereby forming an inner thread structure with enhanced thread strength in the thermostatic valve cavity and the on-off valve cavity.
[0024] In the ninth technical solution and related embodiments, the concealed water passing device integrates the thermostatic control and double on-off valve core design to meet the demand for complex water path control while maintaining the compactness of the structure, facilitating installation and use. The face cover assembly is fixedly connected with the water passing main body and is provided with a thermostatic valve knob and an on-off valve knob, allowing users to conveniently control the water temperature and flow.
[0025] In the tenth technical solution and related embodiments, the water hammer protection assembly can effectively absorb and alleviate the pressure impact (i.e., water hammer effect) caused by sudden closing or opening of the water flow, preventing pipe rupture or damage to the water passing main body. The freeze protection assembly can provide additional insulation and protection in low temperature environments to prevent water pipes or water passing main bodies from expanding and rupturing due to ice formation. By integrating these two protection assemblies, the concealed water passing device not only runs stably under normal conditions, but also provides additional protection in abnormal or extreme conditions, improving the reliability and safety of the entire device.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to combine the drawings, and also for the convenience of introduction, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first direction X is defined as the direction from the bottom to the top, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.
[0040] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in Figure 1 A water passing main body includes a primary injection body 11 and a secondary injection body.
[0041] The primary injection body 11 is provided with at least two pipe bodies extending in parallel along the first direction, and a connecting body 15 located between the two pipe bodies and extending along the second direction. The connecting body 15 forms a channel 21 communicating with the two pipe bodies, ensuring the passage of water flow; the side wall of at least one pipe body is formed with a notch 31, and the notch 31 is opposite to the channel 21 along the second direction, which provides convenience for mold core pulling. The secondary injection body covers the primary injection body 11 and closes the notch 31 of the primary injection body 11, ensuring the integrity of the water passing main body.
[0042] Specifically, the primary injection body 11 is provided with three pipe bodies, which are arranged in sequence and form two connecting bodies 15 between adjacent two pipe bodies, wherein the side walls of the two pipe bodies located on both sides are provided with notches 31 to optimize the mold core pulling during injection molding.
[0043] In this embodiment, the primary injection body 11 includes a first pipe body and two second pipe bodies, the two second pipe bodies are arranged adjacent to the first pipe body to form two connecting bodies 15, and the two connecting bodies 15 are provided with channels 21 respectively communicating with the first pipe body and the two second pipe bodies. The side walls of the two second pipe bodies are provided with notches 31. The adjacent arrangement of the first pipe body and the two second pipe bodies ensures that the two connecting bodies 15 can be formed between them, and the channels 21 communicating with all pipe bodies are constructed in these connecting bodies 15 to form the primary injection body 11, and the notches 31 facilitate the core pulling of the waterway mold, which is closed when the secondary injection body covers the primary injection body 11.
[0044] In this embodiment, the water passing body is manufactured by using a two-step injection molding process. The first injection molded body 11 integrates at least two pipe bodies extending in parallel along a first direction and a connecting body 15 located between the two pipe bodies and extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The connecting body 15 is configured with a channel 21 communicating with the two pipe bodies. In order to optimize the mold core pulling process and solve potential quality problems, a notch 31 is designed on the sidewall of at least one pipe body, which is directly opposite to the channel 21 along the second direction. First, the structure containing the channel 21 is formed by the first injection molding, which effectively avoids the problem of excessive and uneven wall thickness between adjacent pipe bodies if directly integrally injection molded. The unevenness of the wall thickness is prone to cause surface defects such as shrinkage marks or shrinkage holes during the cooling process. The two-step injection molding method ensures the uniformity of the wall thickness by forming the channel 21 first and then building the wall thickness, effectively preventing these quality problems. Second, when designing the first injection molded body 11, the challenges of mold core pulling are fully considered. If only a single pipe body and the channel 21 are formed, the stability between the mold core and the first injection molded body 11 will depend on the sidewall sealant, which will generate a large pressure during the injection molding process, and the second injection molded glue will reseal the channel 21. However, by simultaneously integrating another pipe body in the first injection molded body 11, the pressure of the pipe body on the end face of the channel 21 prevents the second injection molded glue from resealing the channel 21 during the injection molding process, ensuring the smoothness of the channel 21. Finally, in order to solve the problem of difficult mold core pulling of the water channel between two adjacent and adhered pipe bodies, the mold opening notch 31 is arranged on the sidewall of one of the pipe bodies, which allows the mold to be separated from the first injection molded body 11 during mold core pulling. During the subsequent second injection molding process, these notches 31 are closed by the second injection molded material, solving the problem of mold core pulling. At the same time, the first injection molded body 11 does not include a water channel, and the water channel is completed during the second injection molded body covering the first injection molded body, ensuring that the sealing position is not directly related to the first injection molded body 11, and reducing the risk of water leakage.
[0045] As shown in Figure 2 , a water passing body includes a two-step injection molded body 1, which includes a cavity and a seat body integrated with each other. The body 1 is manufactured by using a two-step injection molding process, which combines the integrated design of the cavity and the seat body to ensure the firmness and compactness of the structure and improve the aesthetic appearance.
[0046] The seat body, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it is provided with water inlet path 14, mixed water path 42 and water outlet path 13. Specifically, the number of water inlet path 14 and water outlet path 13 is two, and the water outlet path 13 and the water inlet path 14 are located at the bottom of the body 1 along the first direction. In this embodiment, the seat body is a cylindrical structure, located at the bottom of the body 1 along the first direction, and the water outlet path 13 and the water inlet path 14 are arranged along the circumference of the body 1. Two water inlet paths 14, one of which is cold water, and the other is hot water. Two water outlet paths 13 are connected to handheld shower and top spray respectively. By reasonably arranging the positions of the water outlet path 13 and the water inlet path 14, the space utilization is optimized, and the overall appearance and practicability of the water passing body are improved. The water outlet path 13 and the water inlet path 14 are located at the bottom of the body 1 along the first direction, avoiding direct interference between them, and ensuring smooth flow of water flow.
[0047] The cavity includes thermostatic valve body 2, first protective body 3, second protective body 5 and switch valve body 4.
[0048] The thermostatic valve body 2 is provided with a thermostatic valve cavity 20 extending along the first direction and opening, so as to install a thermostatic valve core 6; the thermostatic valve cavity 20 is provided with a connecting pipe communicating with the water inlet path 14 upstream in the first direction, and a mixed water outlet 22 communicating with the mixed water path 42 near the bottom in the first direction, for outputting mixed water adjusted by the thermostatic valve core 6. Specifically, the number of connecting pipes is two, respectively communicating with two water inlet paths 14. The thermostatic valve core 6 receives cold and hot water through the two water inlet path 14 connecting pipes, and mixes and adjusts to the preset temperature in the valve cavity, and then flows into the mixed water path 42 from the mixed water outlet 22.
[0049] The first protective body 3, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 It is arranged adjacent to the thermostatic valve body 2 and adheres to it, and the first protective body 3 is provided with a first protective cavity 30 extending along the first direction and opening, so as to install a first protective assembly 7 to protect the thermostatic valve body 2; the bottom opening of the first protective cavity 30 communicates with the water inlet path 14, and the first protective cavity 30 communicates with the thermostatic valve cavity 20 through the connecting pipe. In this embodiment, the number of first protective bodies 3 is two, the bottom openings of the two first protective cavities 30 respectively communicate with the two water inlet paths 14, and the two first protective cavities 30 communicate with the thermostatic valve cavity 20 through the two connecting pipes.
[0050] The second protective body 5, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second protection cavity 50 is provided on the mixing water path 42 and extends in the first direction, and the second protection cavity 50 is provided for installing the second protection assembly 9; the cavity bottom of the second protection cavity 50 is communicated with the mixing water path 42. The second protection body 5 provides additional water flow protection by installing the second protection assembly 9. The second protection body 5 is internally provided with the second protection cavity 50 extending in the first direction, and the cavity is located on the mixing water path 42 and is used for installing the second protection assembly 9. Such a design enables the water flow to be further protected by the second protection assembly 9 during the process of flowing through the mixing water path 42 to the water outlet path 13. In the embodiment, the number of the second protection body 5 is two.
[0051] The switch valve body 4 is provided with the switch valve cavity 40 extending in the first direction and being open, and the switch valve cavity 40 is used for installing the switch valve core 8; the switch valve cavity 40 is internally provided with the mixing water inlet 41 corresponding to the mixing water outlet 22, the mixing water inlet 41 is communicated with the mixing water outlet 22 through the mixing water path 42, and the cavity bottom of the switch valve cavity 40 is communicated with the water outlet path 13. In the embodiment, the number of the switch valve body 4 is two, and the two switch valve bodies 4 are respectively located on the two sides of the mixing water path 42; the mixing water flows out from the mixing water outlet 22 of the thermostatic valve cavity 20, enters the mixing water inlets 41 of the two switch valve cavities 40 along the mixing water path 42, and then is communicated to the two water outlet paths 13 from the cavity bottoms of the two switch valve cavities 40, respectively. By providing the water flow main body with two switch valve bodies 4, two mixing water inlets 41 and two water outlet paths 13, the water flow is branched and independently controlled.
[0052] In the embodiment, the basic frame of the thermostatic valve body 2, the two first protection bodies 3 and the connecting pipelines therebetween form a primary injection molded body 11. The main structure of the thermostatic valve body 2 is a first pipe body, and the main structure of the two first protection bodies 3 is a second pipe body. The first protection body 3 is arranged adjacent to the thermostatic valve body 2 and is attached to form a connecting body 15. The connecting pipeline that the thermostatic valve cavity 20 is communicated with the water inlet path is a passage 21 of the connecting body 15. The passage 21 is communicated with the thermostatic valve body 2 and the first protection body 3, and the passage 21 is located at a position upstream of the thermostatic valve cavity 20 in the first direction.
[0053] On the basis of the primary injection molded body 11, the switch valve body 4, the second protection body 5 and the seat body are secondarily injection molded and completely wrapped in the primary injection molded body 11, and finally form a secondary injection molded body of the main body 1. At this time, the sealing position of the secondary injection molding is irrelevant to the primary injection molded body 11 outside the thermostatic valve body 2, the two first protection bodies 3 finally formed, and the two passages 21 of the thermostatic valve body 2 are respectively communicated with the two water inlet paths 14 in the seat body.
[0054] The inner walls of the thermostatic valve cavity 20 and the switch valve cavity 40 are provided with internal thread structures. The internal thread structures provide convenience for the assembly and maintenance of the water passing main body. The internal thread structures can tightly cooperate with the corresponding valve core external thread components, ensuring that they are firmly installed in the valve cavities and are not prone to loosening or leakage.
[0055] During the process of secondary injection molding, the internal thread structures in the thermostatic valve cavity 20 and the switch valve cavity 40 are formed by adding the copper insert 12 and combining it with the injection molding. Specifically, the copper insert 12 is first placed in the injection mold, and then the plastic material is injected to tightly combine the copper insert 12 with the plastic material, thereby forming the internal thread structures with enhanced thread strength and durability in the thermostatic valve cavity 20 and the switch valve cavity 40.
[0056] In this embodiment, from the perspective of structural design, the water passing main body highly integrates multiple functional components such as the thermostatic valve body 2, the first protection body 3, and the switch valve body 4, making the overall structure compact and efficient. This integrated design not only simplifies the installation and maintenance process, but also significantly improves the stability and reliability of the system. By using the secondary injection molding technology, the manufacturing difficulties brought by the complex waterway design are solved. In the first injection process, the basic structures of the thermostatic valve body 2 and the first protection body 3 are formed, providing a solid foundation for subsequent waterway connection. The secondary injection molding further enhances the stability of these structures, allowing the wall thickness of the thermostatic valve body 2 and the first protection body 3 to be controlled, avoiding quality problems such as shrinkage and shrinkage hole caused by uneven wall thickness. It is worth mentioning that all complex waterways are completed in the secondary injection molding process. In this step, the first injection body 11 is completely wrapped in the newly injected plastic material, ensuring that the sealing position of the second injection is not directly related to the first injection body 11, but is entirely located in the second injection body. Such a design greatly reduces the risk of water leakage and improves the overall performance and reliability of the product. From the functional perspective, the water passing main body realizes the constant temperature control of water flow through the thermostatic valve body 2, effectively protects the incoming water through the first protection body 3, and controls the mixed water flow through the switch valve body 4. The coordinated work of these functional components enables the entire system to operate efficiently and stably, meeting users' demands for water temperature, flow, and pressure, etc.
[0057] A concealed water passing device, as shown in Figure 4 includes the above-mentioned water passing main body, as well as the face cover assembly 10, the thermostatic valve core 6, two first protection assemblies 7, the second protection assembly 9, and two switch valve cores 8.
[0058] The thermostatic valve core 6 is threadedly connected to the thermostatic valve cavity 20 and is responsible for adjusting the water temperature.
[0059] The switch valve core 8 is threadedly connected to the switch valve cavity 40, respectively, and is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of water flow and the adjustment of flow.
[0060] The first protection assembly 7 and the second protection assembly 9 are water-tightly connected to the first protection cavity 30 and the second protection cavity 50, respectively. Specifically, the first protection assembly 7 is a water hammer protection assembly, and the second protection assembly 9 is a freeze protection assembly. The water hammer protection assembly can effectively absorb and alleviate the pressure impact (i.e., water hammer effect) caused by the sudden closing or opening of water flow, preventing the pipe from being broken or the water passing body from being damaged. The freeze protection assembly can provide additional insulation and protection in a low-temperature environment to prevent the water pipe or the water passing body from expanding and breaking due to freezing. By integrating the two protection assemblies, the concealed water passing device not only can stably operate under normal use conditions, but also can provide additional protection under abnormal or extreme conditions, improving the reliability and safety of the entire device.
[0061] The face cover assembly 10, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 is fixedly connected to the water passing body and is provided with a thermostatic valve knob 101 connected to the thermostatic valve core 6 and a switch valve knob 102 connected to the switch valve core 8, facilitating the user to intuitively operate and adjust the water temperature and control the water flow. In this embodiment, the concealed water passing device integrates the thermostatic control and double switch valve core 8 design, meeting the needs of complex waterway control while maintaining the compactness of the structure, facilitating installation and use. The face cover assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the water passing body and is provided with the thermostatic valve knob 101 and the switch valve knob 102, so that the user can conveniently control the water temperature and the water flow.
