Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0024] This utility model relates to an adjustable faucet core assembly structure, which achieves the technical goals of high versatility, convenient assembly, and low cost through modular design and highly adjustable structure. The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and reference numerals.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, the adjustable faucet core assembly structure of this utility model includes a faucet body 1, a valve core 6 disposed within the body 1, and a valve core mounting assembly 2. The valve core mounting assembly 2 consists of a valve core seat 3, a support seat 4, an adjusting seat 5, and a fixing component. The valve core seat 3 is used to fix the valve core 6 and is mounted on top of the support seat 4. The adjusting seat 5 is movably fitted onto the support seat 4 and can move axially to adapt to different product height requirements. The fixing component is a semi-circular retaining ring 9, used to simultaneously insert radially into the first connecting portion on the support seat 4 and the second connecting portion on the adjusting seat 5, thereby fixing the support seat 4 and the adjusting seat 5 in an axial upper limit.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting part is a retaining ring groove 10, while the second connecting part is a plurality of longitudinally spaced adjusting grooves 11. By selecting different positions of the adjusting grooves 11 and retaining ring grooves 10 for matching and alignment, and then inserting the retaining ring 9, the height of the adjusting seat 5 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the entire valve core mounting assembly 2 to meet product requirements of different heights. In other embodiments, the fixing parts can also be screws or pins, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0027] In this embodiment, the inner end of the retaining ring 9 has an irregular protrusion to be inserted into the adjustment groove 11 to ensure axial positioning.

[0028] Both the support base 4 and the adjusting base 5 are hollow, suitable for water pipes to pass through. The adjusting base 5 is fitted inside the support base 4, making the overall structure compact and easy to assemble. Specifically, the inner side of the support base 4 has a guide strip 12, while the outer side of the adjusting base 5 has a guide groove 13. The guide groove 13 is adapted to and slidably connected with the guide strip 12, ensuring smooth and stable movement of the adjusting base 5 on the support base 4. The cooperative design of the guide strip 12 and the guide groove 13 avoids the adjusting base 5 from shifting during movement, improving the stability of the adjustment process. Furthermore, a pipe through hole 14 is provided on one side of the support base 4, which matches the water outlet end of the main body 1 for connecting the water outlet pipe. The upper side of the adjusting base 5 is open, corresponding to the pipe through hole 14.

[0029] To further improve the stability of the valve core mounting assembly 2, a limiting block 15 is provided on the outer side of the support base 4, and a limiting groove 16 adapted to the limiting block 15 is provided on the inner side of the body 1. The limiting block 15 is limited in the limiting groove 16 to restrict the rotation angle of the support base 4 in the body 1.

[0030] Preferably, the base 7 is located at the bottom of the body 1 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting seat 5, thereby fixing the valve core mounting assembly 2 onto the faucet body 1.

[0031] The support base 4 has an end platform 17 on its upper inner side, and the valve core seat 3 is mounted on the end platform 17. A connecting cover 8 is also included, which is threaded to the support base 4. The valve core seat 3 and valve core 6 are abutted between the end platform 17 and the connecting cover 8 to ensure a stable connection between them. This double fixing by the end platform 17 and the connecting cover 8 ensures the reliability and sealing of the valve core seat 3 during use. The support base 4 has at least one annular groove 18 on its outer side. This groove is used to install a bushing 19 or an elastic element. The bushing 19 provides stability and prevents the valve core mounting assembly 2 from shaking. The installation of the bushing 19 enhances the compactness of the structure, thereby maintaining structural stability.

[0032] In one embodiment, the valve core seat 3 has hot and cold water inlet holes and a mixed water outlet hole at its lower part, and an oriented structure that mates with the support seat 4. The oriented structure is in the form of a chamfer or a boss, used for orientation and positioning during assembly. The outer side of the valve core seat 3 has a sealing groove and ribs, which serve for sealing and support. The upper part has a mating plane for the valve core 6, used for mounting the valve core 6. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In practical applications, the adjustable faucet core assembly structure of this invention can meet the needs of bathroom faucet products of different specifications and heights. For example, when producing a taller rotary faucet, the height can be adapted by adjusting the position of the adjusting seat 5 without having to re-mold and manufacture new parts. This modular design significantly reduces the number of new parts developed, lowering mold costs and warehousing management costs. Furthermore, the design of the retaining ring 9 and guide structure simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency. The design of the limiting block 15, bushing 19, and sealing structure ensures the product's sealing performance and stability, maintaining good performance during long-term use.

[0034] In summary, this utility model provides a reliable, easy-to-assemble, and low-cost adjustable faucet core assembly structure with broad application prospects and market competitiveness. By optimizing the structural design and assembly process, this utility model solves the problems existing in the prior art, bringing significant technological progress and economic benefits to the bathroom faucet industry.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
