Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of faucets, specifically to a valve faucet device with LED lighting function. Background Technology

[0002] In modern homes and commercial spaces, faucets, as core components for controlling water flow, are increasingly valued for their functionality and aesthetics. Faucets with LED lighting integrate LED light sources in the water outlet area, allowing them to display different lighting effects depending on water flow conditions (such as water temperature and flow rate). This not only enhances the convenience of nighttime use but also strengthens the decorative and technological feel of the device, making it an important choice for high-end kitchen and bathroom designs and driving the development of faucets towards multifunctional and intelligent experiences.

[0003] Existing valve faucets with LED lighting mainly consist of a metal valve body, a control handle, a spout, a transparent guide plate, and an embedded LED module. The transparent guide plate is usually made of acrylic or glass (acrylic is more common in the market) and is fixedly installed on a metal frame (the fixed structure at the outlet of the valve body), serving as a water flow channel. The LED module is embedded inside the transparent guide plate or integrated with the plate body. It is triggered by opening the control handle, and the light is transmitted through the transparent plate and blends with the water flow to create a light and shadow effect. The metal frame and the transparent plate are mostly fixed by clips, bolts, or adhesive. Because clips and bolts are not aesthetically pleasing, adhesive is more commonly used in the market to ensure the stability and sealing of the water flow. This forms an integrated structure of valve body control, transparent plate flow guidance, and LED lighting. The LED module is generally powered by either an external power source or by the water flow inside the metal valve body. Of course, regardless of whether it is powered by an external power source or by the water flow, the LED module is switched on and off by opening and closing the control handle.

[0004] In practical use, existing devices suffer from several drawbacks. LEDs are vulnerable components, and their lifespan is significantly affected by water quality, temperature, and usage frequency. Furthermore, the transparent guide plate and metal frame are fixedly installed, making disassembly and replacement difficult. When an LED is damaged and needs replacement or repair, the fixing structure between the metal frame and the transparent plate must be disassembled. This process is prone to damage due to improper handling, potentially causing the transparent plate to break, the metal frame to deform, or even compromising the device's seal and leading to leaks. Additionally, since the transparent plate and LED module are currently mostly integrated and cannot be separated, the entire unit must be replaced when damaged, significantly increasing maintenance costs and operational complexity. This makes it difficult to balance the needs for lighting functionality with ease of maintenance. Therefore, improvements to existing valve faucet devices with LED lighting are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a valve faucet device with LED lighting function to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a valve faucet device with LED lighting function, including a metal valve body and a water guide plate. An LED light panel is detachably installed at the bottom of the water guide plate, and the end of the LED light panel is provided with an opening corresponding to the metal valve body. A movable plate is rotatably installed on the bottom surface of the end of the LED light panel. The circuit of the LED light panel is connected to the middle of the movable plate, and a plug is installed at the end of the circuit. The plug is connected to a socket on the back of the metal valve body.

[0007] A positioning frame is slidably installed on the outer wall of the metal valve body, and a spring corresponding to the positioning frame is provided inside the metal valve body. The top of the positioning frame is in contact with the bottom of the LED light panel and the bottom of the movable plate under the action of the spring, which is used to fix the LED light panel and the movable plate at the bottom of the water guide plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing can be released by pressing the outer lug, without disassembling the valve body or water guide plate. This avoids the problems of plate breakage and valve body deformation during maintenance caused by traditional fixed installation, and takes into account both lighting function and maintenance convenience.

[0009] Furthermore, the LED light panel has a rigid design, and protective pads are provided at the top and bottom of the LED light panel. Multiple sets of docking blocks are installed on the top of the LED light panel, and docking grooves corresponding to the docking blocks are opened at the bottom of the water guide plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, we can ensure a stable connection between the LED light board and the water guide plate, reduce damage to the LED light board by the positioning frame during fixing, and extend its service life.

[0011] Furthermore, the top corner of the docking block and the opening corner of the docking groove are both designed with beveled angles, and LED beads are embedded in the docking block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to quickly align and insert, reducing the difficulty of installation and alignment.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the line located above the movable plate is greater than the distance between the middle of the movable plate and the side wall of the LED light panel, and magnetic blocks that attract each other are installed inside the end of the movable plate and on the bottom surface of the LED light panel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic block adsorbs and fixes the movable plate in a horizontal state, preventing the circuit from becoming loose or the movable plate from shaking, thus ensuring the stability of the circuit connection and reducing the risk of circuit wear.

[0015] Furthermore, a protective shell is installed on the outer wall of the plug, and the protective shell has a U-shaped cross-section, with the inner wall of the protective shell in contact with the outer wall of the socket.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, dust and moisture can be effectively blocked from entering, short circuits can be avoided in humid environments, power connection safety can be protected, and the technology is suitable for humid kitchen and bathroom use scenarios.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer wall of the positioning frame is symmetrically equipped with two sets of external lugs, and the inner wall is equipped with multiple sets of internal lugs that are slidably connected to the metal valve body, and the bottom surface of the internal lugs is connected to the spring.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer protruding ear facilitates pressing the positioning frame, the inner protruding ear connects to the spring to achieve elastic reset, the positioning frame slides stably and the fixing force is uniform, the lamp panel can be disassembled and assembled without tools, and the spring continuously provides upward pushing force to ensure that it is fixed and does not loosen.

[0019] Furthermore, the top of the positioning frame has a notch corresponding to the movable plate, and both the top surface of the positioning frame and the outer wall of the notch are made of rubber.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the notch at the top of the positioning frame avoids the movable plate, thus preventing structural interference; the rubber top surface and the outer wall of the notch increase friction, making the lamp plate and the movable plate more securely fixed, while also buffering vibration and reducing abnormal noise and wear during use.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0022] This utility model, through its detachable structural design, enables convenient disassembly and stable fixation of the LED light panel, effectively solving the problems of difficult LED maintenance and the need for complete replacement in traditional devices. The LED light panel is positioned by the docking slots of the docking block and the water guide plate, and is fixed from the bottom by the positioning frame under the action of springs. The fixation can be released by pressing the outer protrusion, without the need to disassemble the metal valve body or water guide plate, reducing the difficulty of operation and the risk of damage. The movable plate assists in organizing the wiring and is fixed by magnetic blocks, the protective shell protects the plug and socket connection, and the rubber positioning frame enhances the fixation stability. The overall design balances lighting function, decorative effect, and ease of maintenance, extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0031] Valve faucet devices with LED lighting, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the main body of the device includes components such as a metal valve body 1, a water guide plate 2, an LED light panel 3, and a positioning frame 12.

[0032] The device consists of a metal valve body 1, which is the main structure and is used to control the water flow. A water guide plate 2 is installed at the outlet of the metal valve body 1 to guide the direction of the water flow. An LED light panel 3 is detachably installed at the bottom of the water guide plate 2 to provide lighting. Its end has an opening corresponding to the metal valve body 1 for easy fitting and installation. A movable plate 6 is rotatably installed on the bottom surface of the end of the LED light panel 3 to assist in fixing the circuit 8 and for positioning. The circuit 8 of the LED light panel 3 is connected to the middle of the movable plate 6. A plug 9 is installed at the end of the circuit 8. The plug 9 is connected to the socket 10 on the back of the metal valve body 1 to achieve circuit conduction.

[0033] In this embodiment, a positioning frame 12 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the metal valve body 1, and a spring 14 corresponding to the positioning frame 12 is provided inside the metal valve body 1. Under the action of the spring 14, the top of the positioning frame 12 is attached to the bottom of the LED light panel 3 and the bottom of the movable plate 6 to fix the position of the LED light panel 3 and the movable plate 6 at the bottom of the water guide plate 2, so as to ensure stable installation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the LED light panel 3 has a rigid design, with protective pads at both the top and bottom. These pads can be made of silicone and serve as a buffer and protector. Multiple sets of connecting blocks 4 are installed on the top of the LED light panel 3, and the bottom of the water guide plate 2 has connecting grooves 5 corresponding to the connecting blocks 4. The cooperation between the connecting blocks 4 and the connecting grooves 5 enhances the stability of the connection between the LED light panel 3 and the water guide plate 2. The top corners of the connecting blocks 4 and the opening corners of the connecting grooves 5 are all beveled to facilitate the smooth insertion of the connecting blocks 4 into the connecting grooves 5. LED beads are embedded in the connecting blocks 4 to ensure normal light transmission and improve the lighting effect.

[0035] For example, the length of the line 8 located above the movable plate 6 is greater than the distance between the middle of the movable plate 6 and the side wall of the LED light panel 3, so as to avoid the movable plate 6 from being severely pulled and damaged when it rotates; magnetic blocks 7 are installed inside the end of the movable plate 6 and on the bottom surface of the LED light panel 3 to assist in fixing the movable plate 6 in the horizontal state.

[0036] In this embodiment, a protective shell 11 is installed on the outer wall of the plug 9. The protective shell 11 has a U-shaped cross-section, and its inner wall is attached to the outer wall of the socket 10, which serves to prevent dust and water, and protect the connection between the plug 9 and the socket 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, two sets of external lugs 121 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the positioning frame 12 to facilitate the operator to press the positioning frame 12; multiple sets of internal lugs 13 are installed on the inner wall of the positioning frame 12, the internal lugs 13 are slidably connected to the metal valve body 1, and the bottom surface of the internal lugs 13 is connected to the spring 14, the spring 14 provides an upward thrust for the positioning frame 12; the top of the positioning frame 12 has a notch 15 corresponding to the movable plate 6 to avoid interference with the movable plate 6; the top surface of the positioning frame 12 and the outer wall of the notch 15 are both made of rubber material to increase the friction between the LED light plate 3 and the movable plate 6 and improve the fixing effect.

[0038] It should be noted that the control method for turning the LED light panel 3 on and off is existing technology and has not been described in detail in this embodiment. At the same time, the protective shell 11 in this embodiment is also a known technology, which can be stably connected to the socket 10 and does not need to be described in detail.

[0039] Through the coordinated operation of the above components, when it is necessary to replace or repair the LED light board 3, press the outer lug 121 to move the positioning frame 12 down, release the fixation of the LED light board 3 and the movable plate 6, unplug the plug 9, and rotate the movable plate 6 to remove the LED light board 3; during installation, insert the mating block 4 into the mating groove 5, rotate the movable plate 6 to fix it through the magnetic block 7, loosen the outer lug 121, and the positioning frame 12 moves up under the action of the spring 14 to fix the LED light board 3 and the movable plate 6. Finally, insert the plug 9 into the socket 10; this device realizes convenient disassembly and assembly of the LED light board 3, taking into account both lighting function and ease of maintenance.

[0040] Specifically, when the LED light board 3 is damaged and needs repair, firstly, unplug the plug 9 from the socket 10 on the back of the metal valve body 1. At this time, the circuit 8 of the LED light board 3 is disconnected from the power supply, ensuring safety during the disassembly process.

[0041] Next, the operator presses down on the two sets of external lugs 121 symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the positioning frame 12, causing the positioning frame 12 to drive the inner lugs 13 on the inner wall to slide down synchronously, causing the inner lugs 13 to squeeze the spring 14 inside the metal valve body 1, so that the spring 14 is in a compressed state; as the positioning frame 12 moves down, its top and notch 15 separate from the bottom of the LED light panel 3 and the bottom of the movable plate 6, releasing the support and fixation on both. At the same time, the LED light panel 3 will also descend synchronously with the positioning frame 12, so that the docking block 4 at its top is pulled out from the docking groove 5 at the bottom of the water guide plate 2. At this time, the movable plate 6 will restrict the position of the LED light panel 3 to prevent it from falling directly.

[0042] Then, press down on the movable plate 6 to make it rotate around the rotation axis at the bottom end of the LED light panel 3 until the movable plate 6 is completely displaced from the metal valve body 1 and the positioning frame 12 to avoid interference during disassembly; at this time, the magnetic attraction block 7 between the movable plate 6 and the bottom surface of the LED light panel 3 is separated, and the LED light panel 3 loses its final constraint.

[0043] Finally, pull the LED light panel 3 outward to remove the entire LED light panel 3 for repair or replacement;

[0044] After the repair is completed, when reinstalling the LED light panel 3, first, press down on the outer lug 121 of the positioning frame 12 to keep the positioning frame 12 in a downward position and compress the spring 14; push the LED light panel 3 towards the metal valve body 1 so that the opening at its end fits against the outer wall of the metal valve body 1 to ensure accurate installation.

[0045] Then, push the LED light plate 3 upward so that the top corner of the docking block 4 aligns with the corner of the opening of the docking groove 5 of the water guide plate 2 and inserts it. The angled design ensures that the docking block 4 is smoothly embedded, initially restricting the lateral movement of the LED light plate 3. Next, rotate the movable plate 6 so that its end is re-adsorbed with the magnetic block 7 on the bottom surface of the LED light plate 3. The movable plate 6 returns to the horizontal state, preparing for the subsequent fixing of the positioning frame 12.

[0046] Then, slowly release the pressure on the outer lug 121, the spring 14 releases its elasticity, and pushes the inner lug 13 and the positioning frame 12 to slide upward until the top of the positioning frame 12 abuts against the bottom of the LED light panel 3 and the top of the notch 15 is attached to the bottom of the movable plate 6, thus firmly fixing the LED light panel 3 and the movable plate 6 from below; the rubber material on the top surface of the positioning frame 12 and the outer wall of the notch 15 can increase friction and improve the fixing stability;

[0047] Finally, plug 9 at the end of line 8 is reinserted into socket 10. At this time, the protective shell 11 on the outer wall of plug 9 is in close contact with the outer wall of socket 10, which plays a role in dust and water protection and ensures the safety of circuit connection.
