DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The present application relates to an end cover 3, which is assembled on the corresponding position of the tap body 1 of the generator 2. The generator 2 is screwed into the tap body 1, and in order to facilitate the disassembly of the generator 2, the generator 2 has a disassembly head 21, and the disassembly head 21 has a connecting wire 22 for detachable electrical connection with the display module, and the end of the connecting wire 22 has a connecting head 23 for convenient and quick disassembly.

[0035] As shown in Figures 6-7 An end cover 3, which has a connecting structure 31 for detachable connection with the tap body 1, a cavity 32 for covering the disassembly head 21 of the generator 2, and a disassembly groove 33 for corresponding cooperation with the disassembly head 21 to realize the disassembly of the generator 2, and the disassembly groove 33 and the cavity 32 are provided with a through hole 34.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 When the end cover 3 is normally used, the end cover 3 is detachably connected to the tap body 1 through the connecting structure 31, and the cavity 32 of the end cover 3 corresponds to cover the disassembly head 21 of the generator 2, so as to realize the covering and protection of the generator. In order to facilitate the disassembly of the generator 2, the installation mode of the generator 2 on the tap body 1 is usually that the disassembly head 21 protrudes from the tap body 1, so that the cavity 32 of the end cover 2 is just buckled on the exposed disassembly head 21 of the generator 2, and the disassembly head 21 is effectively covered and protected.

[0037] When the generator 2 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the end cover 3 is first disassembled from the faucet body 1, and the terminal 23 of the generator 2 is separated from the corresponding terminal of the display module. The disassembled end cover 3 can be used as a disassembly tool for disassembling and assembling the generator 2. The end cover 3 is first placed with the disassembly slot 33 on the side facing the disassembly head 21. The terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22 on the disassembly head 21 are passed through the hole 34 from one side of the disassembly slot 33 to the other side of the cavity 32. Then the disassembly slot 33 is nested on the disassembly head 21 of the generator 2. After that, the end cover 3 is rotated to threadedly disassemble the generator 2 from the faucet body 1. Since the terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22 of the generator 2 are passed through the hole 34, the disassembly slot 33 and the disassembly head 21 can be simply and effectively matched. Moreover, it avoids the interference of the rotation operation of the end cover 3. For the terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22, it also avoids the risk of pulling, winding or even breaking caused by the rotation operation.

[0038] When the generator is finished cleaning and reassembling, the end cover 3 is used as a disassembly tool to simply install the generator 2. In detail, the end cover 3 is placed with the disassembly slot 33 on the side facing the disassembly head 21. The terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22 on the disassembly head 21 are passed through the hole 34 from one side of the disassembly slot 33 to the other side of the cavity 32. Then the disassembly slot 33 is nested on the disassembly head 21 of the generator 2. The generator 2 is inserted into the faucet body 1 and the end cover 3 is rotated to threadedly disassemble the generator 2 from the faucet body 1. After that, the end cover 3 is removed from the disassembly head 21, and the terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22 are separated from the end cover 3. The terminal 23 is reconnected to the corresponding terminal of the display module. Finally, the end cover 3 is reassembled. The whole installation process is the same as the disassembly process. It is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble. Moreover, it avoids the mutual adverse effects between the connecting wire and the rotation operation.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the end cover 3 has the functions of covering and protecting the generator and simply disassembling and assembling the generator. When disassembling and assembling the generator 2, no additional special disassembly tool is needed. The connecting wire is cleverly avoided during the disassembly and assembly process, and the integrity of the connecting wire is ensured. It solves the problem that there is no disassembly tool around or the disassembly is not convenient in practice, which may cause improper operation and even damage the connecting wire.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5 The cavity 32 and the disassembly slot 33 are arranged opposite to each other, i.e. the cavity 32 and the disassembly slot 33 are arranged on opposite sides of the end cover 3. The partition plate 35 is arranged between the cavity 32 and the disassembly slot 33. The hole 34 is formed in the partition plate 35 and penetrates the disassembly slot 33 and the cavity 32. In this way, the overall structure of the end cover 3 is very simple, and the terminal 23 and the connecting wire 22 can be easily and effectively passed through the hole 34.

[0041] As shown in Figures 6-7 , the cavity wall of the cavity 32 is provided with a terminal head groove 35 communicating with the cavity 32. When the end cap 3 is connected and installed on the faucet body 1, the terminal head 23 can be correspondingly accommodated in the terminal head groove 35, avoiding problems such as wire interference or pulling and breaking that may occur during installation. In the normal use state of the end cap 3 Figure 7 , the terminal head 23 on the dismounting head 21 can be placed in the faucet body 1 as shown in Figure 1 , and of course it can also be simply and reliably accommodated in the terminal head groove 35.

[0042] When the end cap 3 is used as a dismounting tool for the generator 2, the terminal head 23 and the connecting wire 22 on the dismounting head 21 pass through the hole 34 from one side of the dismounting groove 33 to the other side of the cavity 32. At this time, the terminal head 23 is correspondingly placed in the terminal head groove 35 and positioned. In this way, during the rotation of the end cap 3, the terminal head 23 and the connecting wire 22 remain relatively stationary with the dismounting head 21, and the three are synchronously rotated with the end cap 3. On the one hand, it avoids the interference of the suspended terminal head 23 and the connecting wire 22 to the rotating operation, and on the other hand, it completely eliminates the problem of winding or breaking of the connecting wire 22 and the terminal head 23 itself.

[0043] In order to facilitate the rotating operation of the end cap 3, as shown in Figure 1 , the end cap 3 has a main body part 301 and a handle part 302 connected to the main body part 301, and the dismounting groove 33 is located on the main body part 301. In this way, when the end cap 3 is rotated, applying force to the handle part 302 can easily drive the main body part 301 and the dismounting groove 33 to rotate, which is convenient and labor-saving.

[0044] Further, as given in the specific embodiment Figures 1-3 , the main body part 301 is a circular part, and part of the circular arc of the circular part 301 is gradually narrowed and stretched outward to form a sharp-angled handle part 302. The overall shape of the end cap 3 is a smooth water droplet structure, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also fits the human hand ergonomics. The water droplet profile is mechanically compatible with the natural grip of the hand, making the dismounting and rotating operation more smooth and labor-saving.

[0045] The dismounting head 21 of the existing generator 2 is usually a nut head, the dismounting groove 33 is a nut groove corresponding to the nut head, and the nut structure of the nut groove and the nut head is a hexagonal nut, a pentagonal nut or other angle nut. Regardless of the structure of the dismounting head 21 of the generator 2, the dismounting groove 33 can be designed to correspondingly cooperate with the dismounting head 21 to realize synchronous rotating action.

[0046] The connecting structure 31 is used to realize the detachable connection of the end cap 3 on the faucet body 1, and the detachable connection structure 3 can have various embodiments. In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4-5As shown, the connecting structure 31 is a buckle located on the side where the cavity 32 is located. The end cover 3 is detachably connected to the faucet body 1 through the buckle. The buckle can be locked onto the port 111 of the faucet body 1 where the generator 2 is installed.

[0047] Another embodiment of the connection structure 31, such as Figure 2 As shown, screw holes are present, and the end cap 3 is detachably connected to the faucet body 1 via screw engagement with screws through these screw holes. The faucet body 1 has screw holes for screw installation.

[0048] When the end cap 3 is installed on the faucet body 1, in order to prevent the end cap 3 from affecting the connection of the internal connecting line 22 due to positional displacement, a positioning part that cooperates with the faucet body 1 is also provided on the side where the cavity 32 is located. One embodiment of this positioning part is as follows: Figure 6 The image shows a protruding positioning block 36. Another embodiment of the positioning part is as follows... Figures 1-3 As shown, a positioning rib 37 is formed on the cavity edge of the cavity 32.

[0049] This new type Figures 4-5 In a specific embodiment, the connecting structure 31 adopts a snap-fit ​​method and is paired with a positioning block 36 with a protruding positioning part.

[0050] This new type Figures 6-9 In a specific embodiment 2, the connecting structure 31 uses a screw hole and screw method, and the positioning part is a positioning rib 37 provided on the cavity edge of the cavity 32.

[0051] This invention also provides a shower faucet with an end cap, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the shower faucet includes a faucet body 1, a generator 2, a display module detachably electrically connected to the generator 2 (the display module and electrical connection are not shown in the figure), and an end cap 3. The connection and working principle of the generator 2 and the display module are common knowledge.

[0052] The faucet body 1 has a cavity 11 for installing the generator 2 and a port 111 formed on the cavity 11. The end cover 3 is detachably connected to the port 111 through the connecting structure 31.

[0053] This new type of shower faucet uses an end cap 3, which has the multi-functional features of covering and protecting the generator 2 and making it easy to disassemble and assemble the generator 2. No additional special disassembly and assembly tools are needed when disassembling and assembling the generator 2. During the disassembly and assembly process, it cleverly avoids the connecting wires and ensures that the connecting wires are intact. It solves the problems that often occur in practice, such as the lack of disassembly and assembly tools, inconvenience in operation during disassembly and assembly, and easy to cause improper operation or even damage to the connecting wires.

[0054] like Figure 9As shown, the faucet body 1 is provided with an auxiliary port 112 in communication with the port 111. The auxiliary port 112 has multiple auxiliary functions. After the connecting head 23 of the generator 2 is electrically connected with the display module, the connecting line 22 and the connecting head 23 can be easily placed into and pulled out of the faucet body 1 through the auxiliary port 112.

[0055] The side where the cavity 32 is located is further provided with a positioning part for positioning with the faucet body 1. When the positioning part is a protruding positioning block 36, the auxiliary port 112 serves as a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning block 36.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 1, the shower faucet is provided with a faucet body 1, a display module 4, a generator 2, a connecting line 22 and an end cover 3. Figure 10 For the first embodiment of the shower faucet, the connecting structure 31 adopts a buckle mode, and the positioning part is a protruding positioning block 36. The end cover 3 is correspondingly matched with the auxiliary port 112 through the positioning block 36 and is detachably connected to the port 111 through the buckle.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, the shower faucet is provided with a faucet body 1, a display module 4, a generator 2, a connecting line 22 and an end cover 3. ​ For the second embodiment of the shower faucet, the connecting structure 31 adopts a screw hole 31 matched with a screw 114 mode.
