Abstract

The utility model discloses a valve element for a faucet. The valve element comprises a water mixing valve element and a connecting piece installed on the water mixing valve element. The connecting piece is provided with a cold water inlet, a hot water inlet and a mixed water outlet, wherein the mixed water outlet and the cold water inlet are located on the same plane. Due to the fact that the cold water inlet, the hot water inlet and the mixed water outlet are directly machined on the connecting piece, machining interlayers used for machining the cold water inlet, the hot water inlet and the mixed water outlet do not need to be reserved in the faucet shell, the machining mode of the faucet shell can be greatly simplified, and the production cost can be reduced. Due to the fact that the wire passing hole is further formed in the connecting piece, the pipeline can conveniently penetrate through the faucet shell through the wire passing hole, and mutual abrasion between the pipeline and the faucet shell can be avoided when the pipeline makes contact with the wire passing hole in the pulling process. Due to the fact that the connecting piece is connected with the water mixing valve element through the arranged inserting buckle, connection between the connecting piece and the water mixing valve element is simple, convenient and fast.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware products technology, specifically a valve core for faucets. Background Technology

[0002] The existing faucet valve core is installed on the faucet body. In order to facilitate the machining of cold water inlet, hot water inlet and mixed water outlet in the vertical central axis direction of the faucet body, a partition layer needs to be reserved inside the faucet body. The cold water inlet, hot water inlet and mixed water outlet are machined on this partition layer. It can be seen that the machining of cold water inlet, hot water inlet and mixed water outlet in the partition layer inside the faucet body is difficult, resulting in high production cost of faucet body. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a valve core for a faucet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a valve core for a faucet, comprising a mixing valve core and a connector installed on the mixing valve core; the connector is provided with a cold water inlet and a hot water inlet, as well as a mixing water outlet on the same surface as the cold water inlet.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the connector is also provided with a wire passage hole.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the connector is connected to the mixing valve core through a snap fastener.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the side of the connector away from the mixing valve core has an abutting surface.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the side of the connector away from the mixing valve core is a plane.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Since the cold water inlet, hot water inlet, and mixed water outlet are directly processed on the connector, there is no need to reserve a processing partition in the faucet housing for processing the cold water inlet, hot water inlet, and mixed water outlet. Therefore, the processing method of the faucet housing can be greatly simplified, which is conducive to reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of this utility model;

[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of the connector of this utility model;

[0012] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the present invention when it is installed inside the faucet housing.

[0013] In the diagram: 1. Mixing valve core; 2. Connector; 3. Cold water inlet; 4. Hot water inlet; 5. Mixed water outlet; 6. Snap-on; 7. Wire hole; 8. Faucet housing; 9. Contact surface. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-3 One embodiment of this utility model is a valve core for a faucet, including a mixing valve core 1 and a connector 2 installed on the mixing valve core 1; the connector 2 is provided with a cold water inlet 3 and a hot water inlet 4, as well as a mixing water outlet 5 on the same surface as the cold water inlet 3.

[0016] In summary, since the cold water inlet 3, hot water inlet 4, and mixed water outlet 5 are directly machined onto the connector 2, there is no need to reserve a machining partition inside the faucet housing 8 for machining the cold water inlet 3, hot water inlet 4, and mixed water outlet 5. This greatly simplifies the machining process of the faucet housing and helps reduce production costs. Furthermore, by placing the cold water inlet 3, hot water inlet 4, and mixed water outlet 5 on the same surface, it is easier to machine and arrange these components on the connector 2.

[0017] Furthermore, since the connector 2 is also provided with a wire hole 7, it is convenient for the pipeline to pass through the wire hole 7 and pass through the faucet housing 8. Moreover, the pipeline can avoid mutual wear between the pipeline and the faucet housing 8 when it comes into contact with the wire hole 7 during the pulling process.

[0018] Furthermore, since the connector 2 is connected to the mixing valve core 1 via the provided buckle 6, the connection between the connector 2 and the mixing valve core 1 is simple and convenient.

[0019] In addition, the side of the connector 2 away from the mixing valve core 1 has an abutment surface 9. When the abutment surface 9 is an arc surface, the arc surface can fit inside the faucet housing 8 when the faucet housing 8 is circular, thereby enhancing the stability of the connector 2. At the same time, when the abutment surface 9 is a plane, the connector 2 can also use a square faucet housing 8.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
