Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a plastic water channel structure for a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional faucets, especially shower or bathtub faucets, often have their internal water channels made of copper. Copper helps prevent mercury from entering the water. However, this structure makes the main body of the faucet difficult to mold and the material cost is extremely high. Therefore, this utility model provides an assembled plastic water channel structure that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a plastic water channel structure for faucets.

[0004] A faucet plastic water circuit structure includes a main body, a valve core seat, a water inlet core, and a fixing component.

[0005] The main body is provided with an installation cavity and a water inlet insertion channel. The water inlet insertion channel is located around the periphery of the installation cavity and is connected to it.

[0007] The water inlet core is installed into the main body through the water inlet insertion channel, and one end is provided with a water inlet, while the other end is provided with a plug for inserting into the valve core seat interface, so that the water inlet core and the valve core seat are connected and water can be supplied to the valve core seat.

[0008] The fixing member is inserted into the mounting cavity through the mounting port at the end of the mounting cavity. A locking mechanism is provided between the fixing member and the water inlet core. The fixing member restricts the plug of the water inlet core from exiting the plug interface of the valve core seat through the locking mechanism, thereby restricting the water inlet core within the water inlet insertion channel.

[0009] The faucet plastic water circuit structure provided by this utility model adopts a split valve core seat and water inlet core, which can be assembled together in the main body by a simple plug-in method, and then formed into a fixed assembly by a simple fastener. This can replace the traditional one-piece molding method of faucet water circuit components, greatly reducing the molding difficulty. At the same time, the water circuit related components can also be made of plastic, reducing the cost of faucet products.

[0010] Preferably, the connector has a groove on the outer periphery of the exposed portion of the connector, the groove being parallel to the axial direction of the mounting cavity.

This type of faucet plastic water circuit structure also includes a valve core and a pressure cap. The valve core is installed in the mounting cavity and presses the fixing member against the end of the valve core seat, ensuring a water circuit seal while preventing the fixing member from shaking. The pressure cap is threaded onto the mounting opening of the mounting cavity and presses the valve core tightly, forming a compact mounting structure.

[0014] Preferably, the water inlet is located on the periphery of the water inlet core, the water inlet insertion channel is provided with a clearance opening, and the faucet plastic water circuit structure also includes a curved foot, the water outlet of the curved foot is connected to the water inlet of the water inlet core through the clearance opening.

[0015] Preferably, the outlet end of the curved leg is provided with external threads, the inlet is filled with a copper insert, the copper insert has internal threads, the outlet end of the curved leg passes through the relief port and is screwed into the inlet of the inlet core by threads, or the relief port is provided with internal threads, the outlet end of the curved leg is screwed into the relief port by threads and then connects to the inlet of the inlet core.

[0016] Preferably, the main body is provided with an opening around the periphery of the mounting cavity, and a water outlet connector is installed in the opening. The water inlet end of the water outlet connector is connected to the water outlet of the valve core seat.

[0017] Preferably, the main body also includes a water outlet, which is located around the periphery of the mounting cavity and connected through a water passage hole. The valve core seat has a water outlet facing the water passage hole, and a spring and a sealing cup are sequentially installed inside the water outlet. The valve core is installed in the mounting cavity with the sealing cup and spring fully pressed into the water outlet. The sealing cup presses against the water passage hole under the action of the spring, and the sealing cup has a through hole connecting the water outlet and the water passage hole.

[0020] The faucet plastic water circuit structure provided by this utility model adopts a split valve core seat and water inlet core, which can be assembled together in the main body by a simple plug-in method, and then formed into a fixed assembly through simple fasteners. This can replace the traditional one-piece molding method of faucet water circuit components, greatly reducing the molding difficulty. At the same time, water circuit related components can also be made of plastic, reducing the cost of faucet products.

[0021] The locking mechanism adopts a simple structure of a slot and an insertion part, which is easy to form and assemble;
