Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically a simple mixing valve device that can hold items. Background Technology
[0002] A mixing valve is a common bathroom product used to mix hot and cold water. Users can adjust the temperature of the mixed water as needed, and the desired temperature is quickly reached and stabilized, ensuring a constant water temperature unaffected by changes in water temperature, flow rate, or water pressure. A mixing valve typically has a hot water inlet connector for connecting to a water heater or other hot water source, a cold water inlet connector for connecting to a tap water source, and a mixing outlet connector for connecting to the shower head or other water-using appliances. For convenience while showering, shelves for items such as soap and towels are usually installed in the bathroom. The mixing valve and shelf are usually separate. A common installation method for the shelf is to use a sleeve fitted over the shower hose of the overhead shower head. However, this sleeve is made of plastic and is prone to aging and deformation over time. Placing heavy items such as shower gel on the shelf can cause the sleeve to slip down the shower hose, resulting in an insecure installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple, container-type mixing valve device to overcome the problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a simple containerized mixing valve device, including a shelf and a mixing valve detachably installed at the bottom of the shelf via a snap-fit structure. The shelf includes a shelf plate with snap-fit holes. The mixing valve includes a mixing valve body and an mounting cylinder protruding upward from the mixing valve body. The upper end of the mounting cylinder is open, and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder is provided with an upper flange and a lower flange, which are spaced apart. The snap-fit holes on the shelf and the upper and lower flanges on the mixing valve engage to form a snap-fit structure. During assembly, the mounting cylinder and the upper flange pass through the snap-fit holes upward, and then the mounting cylinder is rotated so that the shelf plate of the shelf is sandwiched between the upper and lower flanges.
[0005] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the shelf extends to form a fastener on the inner edge of the buckle hole, and the shelf has multiple elongated drainage holes and hanging holes for hanging the shower head. There are two hanging holes, located at both ends of the shelf.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the vertical distance between the upper flange and the lower flange is equal to the thickness of the fastener, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the fastener on the shelf abut against the upper flange and the lower flange respectively.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the vertical distance between the upper flange and the lower flange is equal to the thickness of the shelf panel of the shelf, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the shelf panel of the shelf abut against the upper flange and the lower flange respectively.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper flange and the lower flange are formed by extending horizontally outward from the outer wall of the mounting cylinder, and the upper flange and the lower flange are integrally molded with the mounting cylinder from plastic.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mixing valve body is provided with a hot water inlet connector, a cold water inlet connector and a mixed water outlet connector. The mixing valve body is cylindrical, and the mixed water outlet connector is provided at one end of the mixing valve body. The mounting cylinder, the hot water inlet connector and the cold water inlet connector are integrally formed on the outer peripheral wall of the mixing valve body.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a thermostatic valve core is installed inside the mounting cylinder, and a handwheel is provided above the mounting cylinder, which is connected to the thermostatic valve core installed inside the mounting cylinder.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the buckle hole includes a circular hole body and two buckle portions located on opposite sides of the hole body. The diameter of the hole body is equal to the outer diameter of the mounting cylinder. The upper flange is formed on opposite sides of the outer wall of the mounting cylinder. The buckle portions have the same shape and size as the upper flange, so that the mounting cylinder and the upper flange can pass through the buckle hole.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the shelf is made of plastic, the shelf is rectangular, and the shelf also includes four side panels surrounding the edge of the shelf. The side panels and the shelf form a storage space, and the storage space is provided with a barrier. Multiple hanging parts are provided between two of the longer side panels.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The simple container-type mixing valve device provided by this utility model has a simple structure. The buckle structure is formed by the buckle hole on the shelf and the upper and lower flanges on the mixing valve. The shelf and the mixing valve can be reliably installed without the need for tools. Moreover, the shelf and the mixing valve are easy to install and disassemble. It is convenient for users to place items such as soap and towels on the shelf when taking a shower. It solves the problem that the pipe sleeve will slide down the shower pipe when heavy items such as shower gel are placed on the shelf, resulting in an unstable installation of the shelf.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a simple mixing valve device with a storage rack 2 and a mixing valve 1 that is detachably installed at the bottom of the storage rack 2 via a snap-fit structure.
[0026] The shelf 2 can be used to place items such as bath towels and shower gel. The shelf 2 can be made of plastic and includes a rectangular shelf 21. The shelf 21 has fastening holes 23, and fastening tabs 233 extend from the inner edge of the shelf 21 to form fastening tabs 233. Preferably, the shelf 21 has multiple elongated drainage holes 211 and hanging holes 212 for hanging shower heads. There are two hanging holes 212, located at both ends of the shelf 21.
[0027] The mixing valve 1 includes a mixing valve body 11 and an mounting cylinder 12 that protrudes upward from the mixing valve body 11. The upper end of the mounting cylinder 12 is open, and the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 12 is provided with an upper flange 13 and a lower flange 14. The upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 are arranged at intervals. The buckle hole 23 on the shelf 2 is engaged with the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 on the mixing valve 1 to form a buckle structure.
[0028] Preferably, the vertical distance between the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 is equal to the thickness of the fastener 233, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the fastener 233 on the shelf 21 abut against the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14, respectively.
[0029] Preferably, the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 are formed by extending horizontally outward from the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 12, and the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 are integrally molded from plastic with the mounting cylinder 12.
[0030] Specifically, the mixing valve body 11 is provided with a hot water inlet connector 111, a cold water inlet connector 112 and a mixed water outlet connector 113. The hot water inlet connector 111 is used to connect to a hot water source such as a water heater, the cold water inlet connector 112 is used to connect to a cold water source such as a tap water pipe, and the mixed water outlet connector 113 is used to connect to a shower head or other water-using equipment.
[0031] Specifically, the mixing valve body 11 is cylindrical, and one end of the mixing valve body 11 is provided with the mixed water outlet connector 113. The mounting cylinder 12, the hot water inlet connector 111 and the cold water inlet connector 112 are integrally formed on the outer peripheral wall of the mixing valve body 11.
[0032] When assembling the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1, the mounting cylinder 12 and the upper flange 13 of the mixing valve 1 are inserted upwards through the snap hole 23 of the shelf 21. Then, the mounting cylinder 12 is rotated so that the snap piece 233 on the shelf 21 is clamped between the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14. The upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 respectively abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the snap piece 233, achieving a quick snap-fit installation between the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1. When disassembling the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1, the mounting cylinder 12 is rotated first so that the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 of the mixing valve 1 are disengaged from the snap hole 23 of the shelf 21, thereby completing the quick disassembly of the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1. Example
[0033] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a simple mixing valve device with a storage rack 2 and a mixing valve 1 that is detachably installed at the bottom of the storage rack 2 via a snap-fit structure.
[0034] Based on the above embodiment 1, the shelf 2 includes a rectangular shelf 21 and four side panels 22 surrounding the edge of the shelf 21. The side panels 22 and the shelf 21 form a storage space for storing items such as bath towels, shower gel, and shampoo. A barrier 25 is provided within the storage space. Preferably, multiple hanging parts 24 are provided between two of the longer side panels 22 for hanging items such as towels.
[0035] Based on the above embodiment 1, a thermostatic valve core is installed inside the mounting cylinder 12, and a handwheel 15 is provided above the mounting cylinder 12. The handwheel 15 is connected to the thermostatic valve core installed inside the mounting cylinder 12 and is used to adjust the outlet water temperature. During assembly, the mounting cylinder 12 and the upper flange 13 pass through the buckle hole 23 upwards, and then the mounting cylinder 12 is rotated so that the shelf 21 of the shelf 2 is sandwiched between the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14.
[0036] Based on the above embodiment 1, the buckle hole 23 includes a circular hole body portion 231 and two buckle portions 232 provided on opposite sides of the hole body portion 231. The diameter of the hole body portion 231 is equal to the outer diameter of the mounting cylinder 12. The upper flange 13 is formed on opposite sides of the outer wall of the mounting cylinder 12. The buckle portions 232 have the same shape and size as the upper flange 13, so that the mounting cylinder 12 and the upper flange 13 can pass through the buckle hole 23.
[0037] Preferably, the vertical distance between the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 is equal to the thickness of the shelf 21 of the shelf 2, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the shelf 21 of the shelf 2 abut against the upper flange 13 and the lower flange 14 respectively.
[0038] When assembling the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1, the mounting cylinder 12 and the upper flange 13 of the mixing valve 1 are inserted upwards through the snap hole 23 of the shelf 21.

When disassembling the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1, the mounting cylinder 12 is rotated first so that the upper flange 13 of the mixing valve 1 disengages from the snap hole 23 of the shelf 21, thereby completing the quick disassembly of the shelf 2 and the mixing valve 1.
[0039] The simplified mixing valve device with storage space provided by this utility model has a simple structure. The storage rack 2 and the mixing valve 1 are engaged by the buckle hole 23 to form a buckle structure. The storage rack 2 and the mixing valve 1 can be securely installed without the need for tools. Moreover, the storage rack 2 and the mixing valve 1 are easy to install and disassemble. It is convenient for users to place items such as soap and bath towels on the storage rack 2 when taking a shower. It solves the problem that the pipe sleeve will slide down the shower pipe when heavy items such as shower gel are placed on the storage rack, resulting in an unstable installation of the storage rack.
