[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a frost-resistant and durable faucet housing, comprising a faucet housing, a left clip fitted onto the surface of the faucet housing, a right clip rotatably connected to one side of the left clip, two sets of fixing blocks fixedly connected to one side of both the left and right clips, a limiting component slidably connected inside one set of the fixing blocks, a fixing sleeve penetrating one side of the top of the faucet housing, a positioning piece fitted inside the fixing sleeve, a telescopic component slidably connected inside the positioning piece, the limiting component including a sliding rod slidably connected inside the fixing block, a limiting ring fitted onto the surface of the sliding rod, a support spring fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring; the telescopic component including a support rod slidably connected inside the positioning piece, a piston fixedly connected to one end of the support rod, and a telescopic spring fixedly connected to one side of the piston.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of another set of fixed blocks. One end of the rotating rod is sleeved with a limiting rod. Both ends of the limiting rod are provided with grooves that are adapted to the sliding rod. The grooves serve to limit the sliding rod.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a temperature sensor is fitted onto the surface of the faucet housing, and one end of the temperature sensor is electrically connected to a controller via a power cord. The controller is configured to facilitate the control of the heating element.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, one end of the controller is electrically connected to two sets of heating elements via a power cord.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a frost-resistant and crack-resistant durable faucet housing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This frost-resistant and durable faucet housing, through the setting of a limiting component, left clip, and right clip, allows the left and right clips to be fitted onto the surface of the faucet housing in cold weather. This causes two sets of corresponding fixing blocks to fit tightly together. Rotating the rotating rod causes it to engage with the groove on the fixing block, releasing the sliding rod. This allows the support spring to push the limiting ring, which in turn causes the sliding rod to engage with the limiting rod, securing the left and right clips. A temperature sensor detects the water temperature inside the faucet housing. When the temperature falls below a set value, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the heating element to heat the water inside the faucet housing, preventing the faucet housing from freezing and cracking, thus preventing water outages. The clips and active heating function work together to buffer external low-temperature conduction and maintain the water temperature through internal heating, significantly extending the service life of the faucet housing in cold environments.

[0017] 2. This frost-resistant and crack-resistant faucet housing, through the setting of the telescopic component, when the switch valve on the faucet housing is closed, while the water flow impacts the valve, some of it is also diverted into the fixed sleeve. The water flow impacts the piston, causing the piston to push the telescopic spring, and then the support rod slides in the positioning plate to maintain stable movement. At the same time, the telescopic spring is compressed under force and generates elastic force, pushing the piston in the opposite direction. Thus, the spring's telescopic characteristics are used to absorb the impact energy caused by the sudden interruption of water flow, which can effectively prevent water hammer effect from damaging the valve and pipeline system.

Two sets of fixing blocks 4 are fixedly connected to one side of both the left clip 2 and the right clip 3. A limiting component 5 is slidably connected inside one set of fixing blocks 4. Through the setting of the limiting component 5, the left clip 2, and the right clip 3, the faucet housing 1 is prevented from freezing and cracking, thus preventing water outages. The clips work in conjunction with an active heating function to buffer external low-temperature conduction and maintain the water flow temperature through internal heating, significantly extending the service life of the faucet housing 1 in cold environments. A through-connection is located on one side of the top of the faucet housing 1. The fixed sleeve 6 has a positioning piece 7 inside it, and a telescopic component 8 is slidably connected inside the positioning piece 7. The telescopic component 8 is designed to absorb the impact energy caused by a sudden interruption of water flow by utilizing the telescopic characteristics of the spring, which can effectively prevent water hammer effect from damaging the valve and pipeline system. The limiting component 5 includes a sliding rod 501 slidably connected inside the fixed block 4. A limiting ring 502 is sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 501, and a support spring 503 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring 502. The telescopic component 8 includes a support rod 801 slidably connected inside the positioning piece 7. A piston 802 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 801, and a telescopic spring 803 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston 802.

[0025] Another set of fixed blocks 4 has a rotating rod 9 rotatably connected to its inner side. One end of the rotating rod 9 is sleeved with a limiting rod 10. Both ends of the limiting rod 10 are provided with grooves that are compatible with the sliding rod 501. The grooves limit the sliding rod 501.

[0026] A temperature sensor 11 is fitted onto the surface of the faucet housing 1. One end of the temperature sensor 11 is electrically connected to a controller 12 via a power cord. The controller 12 is configured to facilitate the control of the heating element 13.

[0027] One end of the controller 12 is electrically connected to two sets of heating elements 13 via a power cord. The two sets of heating elements 13 are respectively fitted inside the left clip 2 and the right clip 3. The heating elements 13 serve to heat the faucet housing 1.

[0028] A sealing ring 14 is fitted onto the surface of the piston 802. The sealing ring 14 is made of rubber and serves to increase the sealing performance.

[0029] A threaded sleeve 15 is fitted onto the bottom of the faucet housing 1, and a fixing sleeve 16 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded sleeve 15. The fixing sleeve 16 facilitates installation and positioning.

[0030] A gasket 17 is fitted onto the bottom surface of the faucet housing 1, and a water inlet pipe 18 is connected through the bottom end of the faucet housing 1. The water inlet pipe 18 facilitates the entry of water.

[0031] The model of temperature sensor 11 is XC-T-PT-LW; the model of controller 12 is KS-350CT-I1. The above parameters and models can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0032] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0033] First step: When the weather is cold, put the left clip 2 and the right clip 3 on the surface of the faucet housing 1, then the two sets of corresponding fixing blocks 4 are tightly attached, and rotate the rotating rod 9 so that the rotating rod 9 is inserted into the groove on the fixing block 4, then release the sliding rod 501, so that the support spring 503 pushes the limiting ring 502.

[0034] The second step: then the sliding rod 501 is driven to be locked on the limit rod 10, and the left clamp 2 and the right clamp 3 are fixedly installed. Then the temperature sensor 11 detects the water temperature inside the faucet housing 1. When it is lower than the set value, the temperature sensor 11 sends a signal to the controller 12, and the controller 12 controls the heating element 13 to heat the water inside the faucet housing 1.

[0035] Third step: When the switch valve on the faucet housing 1 is closed, the water flow impacts the valve, and some of it is also diverted into the fixed sleeve 6. The water flow impacts the piston 802, causing the piston 802 to push the telescopic spring 803. As a result, the support rod 801 slides in the positioning plate 7 to maintain stable movement. At the same time, the telescopic spring 803 is compressed and generates elastic force, pushing the piston 802 in the opposite direction.
