Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0037] Example
[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this embodiment provides a faucet body, including a main body 1, and a water outlet support arm 2 connected to the side wall of the main body 1, and also includes a fixing member 4 and a valve core seat 3 connected to the fixing member 4;
[0039] The main body 1 has a centrally located chamber 5; a through hole 6 is provided on the side wall of the chamber 5 to connect to the inner cavity of the water outlet support arm 2; the valve core seat 3 has a valve core cavity 7 with an upper opening for installing the valve core 22; the fixing member 4 is disposed in the chamber 5 and has a fixing part 8 that can be locked onto the through hole 6 and has a water outlet 9; the water outlet 10 of the valve core cavity 7 is connected to the water outlet 9.
[0040] The valve core seat 3 replaces the support seat in the prior art, making the structure of the main body 1 simple and eliminating the need for welding; the fixing part 8 of the fixing part 4 can be set in the chamber 5, and then the valve core seat 3 is placed in the chamber 5 and connected to the fixing part 4, thus realizing the fixed and limited position of the valve core seat 3; this method is convenient and quick to install, with a simple structure and low cost.
[0041] Specifically, in the first embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the outer diameter of the fixing member 4 is adapted to the chamber 5, and it has a mounting cavity for installing the valve core seat 3; and the side wall has two symmetrically arranged elastic arms 26, on which the fixing part 8 is disposed. The fixing member 4 can be inserted from the upper opening of the chamber 5, and then, under the action of external force, the fixing part 8 is pressed against the inner wall of the chamber 5, and the elastic arm 26 undergoes elastic deformation until the fixing part 8 is engaged in the through hole 6. The outer diameter of the fixing member 4 is adapted to the chamber 5 to achieve radial limiting, and the fixing part 8 is engaged in the through hole 6 to achieve axial limiting. Of course, after the valve core seat 3 is placed in the mounting cavity of the fixing member 4, it can be connected to the fixing member 4 by a buckle and / or screws.
[0042] The outer diameter of the upper part of the valve core seat 3 is adapted to the chamber 5 and is provided with a first sealing groove 29. A first sealing ring 30 is provided on the first sealing groove 29 for radial sealing. A second sealing groove 31 is provided at the lower part, and a second sealing ring 32 provided on the second sealing groove 31 forms a radial seal with the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The fixing member 4 is positioned below the outlet 9 and is provided with a third sealing groove 33. A third sealing ring 34 provided on the third sealing groove 33 forms a radial seal with the inner wall of the chamber 5. A full-circle clearance groove 27 is provided on the side wall of the chamber 5, and the through hole 6 is placed in the clearance groove. This ensures that after the fixing member 4 enters from the upper opening of the chamber 5, the third sealing ring 34 can avoid the through hole 6, preventing it from being scratched and causing sealing failure.
[0043] In the second embodiment, as Figures 7 to 15 As shown, the water outlet 10 is disposed on the side wall of the valve core 22 cavity 7 and is opposite to the water outlet 9. The valve core seat 3 has an installation groove 11 on its outer peripheral wall at the water outlet 10; the fixing member 4 has an installation part 12 adapted to the installation groove 11, and a first installation step 13 disposed at the bottom of the installation part 12 for connection with the bottom of the valve core seat 3. Furthermore, the side of the installation part 12 that adapts to the installation groove 11 is provided with a fourth sealing groove 14 on the outer periphery of the water outlet 10 for installing a non-circular fourth sealing ring 15; the side of the installation part 12 that adapts to the cavity 5 is provided with a fifth sealing groove 16 on the outer periphery of the water outlet 9 for installing a non-circular fifth sealing ring 17.
[0044] In this embodiment, the valve core seat 3 is made of plastic injection molding; its bottom is provided with a second mounting step 18 adapted to the first mounting step 13, and a limiting groove 19 is provided on the second mounting step 18. The limiting groove 19 is used to place a nut so that after the valve core seat 3 is inserted from the upper opening of the chamber 5 and connected to the fixing member 4, it can be locked by bolts through the lower opening of the chamber 5. The outer peripheral wall of the valve core seat 3 is also provided with a plurality of ribs 20 to adapt to the chamber 5 so that it can achieve radial limiting after being installed in the chamber 5. The bottom of the valve core seat 3 is provided with a connecting part 21 for connecting to the water inlet pipe 25 so as to facilitate quick connection of the water inlet pipe 25.
[0045] In this embodiment, the water outlet support arm 2 is welded to the side wall of the main body 1. Of course, the water outlet support arm 2 can also be connected to the main body 1 by locking; and for some water outlet support arms 2 with simple internal cavities that can be directly formed by core pulling, it can also be integrally formed with the main body.
[0046] In this embodiment, the fixing member 4 is first inserted into the upper opening of the chamber 5, so that the side that adapts to the inner peripheral wall of the chamber 5 is attached to the chamber 5, and the fixing part 8 is engaged with the through hole 6; then the nut is placed into the limiting groove 19 of the valve core seat 3, and the valve core seat 3 is then inserted into the upper opening of the chamber 5, so that the mounting groove 11 is adapted to the mounting part 12 of the fixing member 4, and the upper end face of the first step abuts against the lower end face of the second step; finally, the bolt is inserted into the lower opening of the chamber 5, and screwed into the bolt through the through holes 6 on the first step and the second step, thereby fixing the valve core seat 3 and the fixing member 4 together.
[0047] The main body 1 and the water outlet support arm 2 are made of copper, stainless steel, zinc alloy, or aluminum alloy. The main body 1 and the water outlet support arm 2 are connected by welding. They are each formed independently, and because they have a central cavity 5, core pulling and forming are simple. They can even directly use tubular profiles. The manufacturing process is simple, the yield rate is high, and the cost is low.
[0048] This utility model also provides a water outlet device, such as Figure 9 As shown, the faucet includes a faucet body, a valve core 22 disposed on the faucet body, and the valve core 22 is limited and fixed by a cover 23 screwed to an opening on the valve core seat 3; a handle 24 is connected to the valve core 22. The bottom of the faucet body is provided with mounting accessories for fixing the faucet body to the countertop.
