Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a side-outlet water valve core and a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Faucet valve cores typically employ a side-outlet design. During installation, the water outlet guide tube is inserted through the outlet end opening of the outlet arm and then through the mounting hole within the outlet arm into the side outlet of the valve core. Finally, they are assembled using an interference fit. However, this installation structure suffers from a problem during use: because the water outlet direction is the same as the insertion direction of the water outlet guide tube and the valve core, there is a tendency for the water outlet guide tube and the side outlet of the valve core to detach, especially under high water pressure. Therefore, this invention provides a side-outlet valve core structure that can be securely assembled with the water outlet guide tube, thus solving the aforementioned technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a valve core structure that can prevent the water outlet pipe from easily falling off.

[0004] In a first aspect, a side-outlet valve core is provided, which has an outlet channel. The outlet channel forms an outlet connector on the outer circumferential surface of the valve core. The outlet connector is parallel to the axial direction of the valve core and extends through the end of the valve core.

[0005] The side-outlet valve core provided by this utility model has an outlet channel that extends to the outer circumferential surface of the valve core, forming an outlet connector that simultaneously penetrates the outer circumferential surface and the end face. When installing this valve core, the inlet end of the inlet pipe that it connects with must have an L-shaped connector, and the connector should be inserted in a way that is parallel to the axial direction of the valve core. After the valve core is assembled, the end of the valve core is basically pressed down, and at the same time, the inlet end of the inlet pipe is also pressed down. In the water outlet state, it will no longer fall off due to water scouring, which greatly improves the installation firmness of the outlet pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the end opening of the water outlet connector is located at the same end as the valve stem of the valve core, so that the pressing ring through which the valve stem passes can press the end face of the valve core while also pressing the inlet end of the water inlet pipe assembled at the water outlet connector.

[0007] Preferably, the side-outlet valve core is provided with a water inlet channel, which is located at the end of the valve core. The valve core has a single water inlet, or it has a dual water inlet, including a cold water inlet channel and a hot water inlet channel.

[0008] Preferably, the water outlet connector is square, oval, or triangular to prevent the water outlet connector from rotating or shaking. Of course, the water outlet connector can also be circular for easy molding.

[0009] Preferably, to reduce molding difficulty, the valve core is disassembled, and the water outlet connector is placed on the valve seat. Specifically, the valve core includes a valve seat, which has an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and an upward-facing mounting cavity. The inlet channel is arranged along the axial direction of the valve core, with one end forming an inlet at the bottom of the mounting cavity and the other end forming an inlet connector at the bottom of the valve seat. The outlet channel is L-shaped, with one section perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve core and forming a molding opening with a plug on the outer periphery of the valve seat, and this section forming an outlet at the bottom of the mounting cavity. The other section is parallel to the axial direction of the valve core and is located close to the outer periphery of the valve seat, with the water outlet connector forming on the outer periphery of the valve seat.

[0010] Preferably, the plug and the forming opening are assembled together by means of rotation snap, thread, interference fit, welding or bonding, and a sealing ring is provided between the plug and the forming opening.

[0011] Preferably, the water outlet interface is equipped with a matching water outlet connector, which can be sold as a set. The water outlet connector is L-shaped, with one end being a plug-in end and the other end being a mating end. The plug-in end and the connector are connected, and the water outlet connector is inserted into the water outlet interface through the plug-in end and assembled together with the valve core.

[0012] Preferably, the outer periphery of the plug-in end is provided with an annular groove, and a sealing ring is fitted inside the annular groove to prevent water leakage.

[0013] Preferably, the water outlet connector has a water outlet pipe inserted into its mating end. The water outlet pipe and the mating end of the water outlet connector are assembled together by welding, gluing, threading, snap-fitting, or interference fit. They can be pre-assembled on the outside of the faucet body to form a very strong connection, so there is no need to worry about them falling off due to water erosion.

[0014] Secondly, a faucet is provided, comprising a faucet body, a pressing ring, a switch handle, and the side-outlet valve core described in the first aspect. The faucet body has a receiving cavity and an outlet arm, the outlet arm having a mounting hole, one end of the mounting hole communicating with the receiving cavity, and the other end forming the outlet end of the faucet body. The side-outlet valve core is installed in the receiving cavity, an outlet pipe with an inlet end having an outlet connector is installed in the mounting hole of the outlet arm, and the outlet connector is inserted into the outlet connector of the side-outlet valve core, the pressing ring is installed at the opening of the receiving cavity and presses the side-outlet valve core and the outlet connector, and the switch handle is installed on the valve stem of the side-outlet valve core.

[0015] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The side-outlet valve core provided by this utility model has an outlet channel that extends to the outer circumferential surface of the valve core and forms an outlet plug that simultaneously penetrates the outer circumferential surface and the end face. When installing the valve core with this structure, the inlet end of the inlet pipe that it connects with must be provided with or form an L-shaped plug, and the plugging method is parallel to the axial direction of the valve core. After the valve core is assembled, the end of the valve core is basically pressed down. At the same time, the inlet end of the inlet pipe is also pressed down. In the water outlet state, it will no longer fall off due to water scouring, which greatly improves the installation firmness of the outlet pipe.

[0017] The side-outlet valve core can be a single-inlet valve core or a mixed-water valve core. The side-outlet structure provided by this utility model has a wide range of applications.

[0018] By placing the side-outlet structure on the valve seat, the overall molding difficulty is reduced, and other components can be made of standard or universal parts, thus reducing production costs.

[0019] To avoid difficulties in forming the side-outlet water structure, a forming port is provided for the mold core to exit after forming. Attached Figure Description
