Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and in particular to a switch handle and a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a device used to control the water flow and the amount of water coming out of a water pipe. The switch handle in the faucet is an important operating component for controlling the water flow, adjusting the flow rate or temperature. Usually, the switch handle, valve core and faucet body are mechanically connected (such as by bolts) to achieve the purpose of adjusting the water flow of the faucet body.

[0003] With the development of production technology, people are paying more and more attention to the aesthetics of faucets. Currently, decorative covers are used in faucets to cover the installation openings on the switch handle (such as the openings for mounting bolts) to improve the overall aesthetics.

[0004] Most decorative caps in current faucets are made of soft plastic and are fixed to the faucet's mounting opening by embedding. However, these decorative caps usually require force to press or rotate to secure them during installation, and require tools such as blades to pry them off during disassembly. This makes the decorative caps prone to deformation or even damage. After long-term use, the connection between the decorative cap and the faucet's mounting opening tends to loosen, making the caps more likely to loosen or fall off. Therefore, the process of installing and removing decorative caps in current faucets is cumbersome, and their durability is relatively poor. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Although the present invention can be readily embodied in various forms, only some specific embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings and will be described in detail in this specification. It is understood that this specification should be regarded as an exemplary illustration of the principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention to what is described herein.

[0021] Therefore, a feature pointed out in this specification is used to describe one feature of one embodiment of the present invention, and does not imply that every embodiment of the present invention must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly stated. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0022] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various elements of this invention are relative rather than absolute. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a faucet 10 provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional structure of the faucet 10. Figure 3 yes Figure 1The diagram shows an exploded view of a faucet 10. A switch handle 20 can be used in the faucet 10. The switch handle 20 may include a handle body 21, a connecting structure 22, and a decorative cover 23. The faucet 10 may include a faucet body 30 and a valve core 40, with the valve core 40 installed in the faucet body 30.

[0024] The handle body 21 is located on one side of the valve core 40 of the faucet 10; the handle body 21 can be located on the outside of the valve core 40. The handle body 21 may include a connector and a handle. The connector and the handle are fixedly connected by welding, or the connector and the handle are an integral structure. The connector can be detachably connected to the valve core 40. The operator can move the handle body 21 by moving the handle, thereby moving the valve core 40.

[0025] A connecting structure 22 is sequentially inserted into the handle body 21 and the valve core 40 to connect the handle body 21 and the valve core 40. The connecting structure 22 can be detachably connected to both the handle body 21 and the valve core 40, allowing for detachable connection. One end of the connecting structure 22 protrudes from the handle body 21, allowing the operator to disassemble the connecting structure 22 through the exposed end, thereby disassembling the handle body 21. For example, the handle body 21 has an installation opening through which one end of the connecting structure 22 protrudes, facilitating the operator's installation or removal of the connecting structure 22.

[0026] Decorative cover 23 is fitted to one end of handle body 21 to cover connecting structure 22, and at least one of connecting structure 22 and handle body 21 is magnetically attracted to decorative cover 23. Decorative cover 23 can be magnetically attracted to connecting structure 22, or decorative cover 23 can be magnetically attracted to handle body 21, or decorative cover 23 can be magnetically attracted to both connecting structure 22 and handle body 21, thus fixing decorative cover 23 by magnetic attraction.

[0027] In related technologies, the decorative cover 23 is typically made of soft plastic. During installation, the soft plastic cover usually requires forceful pressing or rotation to secure it, and during disassembly, tools such as blades are needed to pry it off. This makes the decorative cover 23 prone to deformation or even damage. After prolonged use, the connection between the decorative cover 23 and the mounting opening of the faucet 10 tends to loosen, making the decorative cover 23 more likely to loosen or detach. Furthermore, the soft plastic cover relies on elastic deformation for fixation; prolonged pressure may cause it to loosen, leading to edge warping or water ingress.

[0028] Compared to the decorative cover 23 in related technologies, the decorative cover 23 in this embodiment of the utility model is fixed by magnetic attraction. During installation, the decorative cover 23 only needs to be placed at one end of the handle body 21, that is, at the installation opening of the handle body 21. The decorative cover 23 can then be attracted to at least one of the connecting structure 22 and the handle body 21, thereby achieving the installation of the decorative cover 23. When removing the decorative cover 23, the operator can use a magnet to attract the decorative cover 23 and move the decorative cover 23 through the magnet to remove the decorative cover 23 from the handle body 21. In this way, the installation or removal of the decorative cover 23 can be achieved with just one placement or one pull, without the need to press or use tools to pry the decorative cover 23, which simplifies the installation and removal process of the decorative cover 23 and achieves quick installation and removal of the decorative cover 23.

[0029] Furthermore, this invention uses a magnetic method to fix the decorative cover 23, which reduces wear on the cover 23 during installation or removal and prevents deformation due to compression. This ensures that the operator can easily remove or install the cover 23 even after long-term use. Additionally, the magnetic force evenly presses the non-deformable cover 23 onto the handle body 21, ensuring a tight fit and minimizing gaps between the cover 23 and the handle.

[0030] In summary, this utility model provides a switch handle 20 including a handle body 21, a connecting structure 22, and a decorative cover 23. This switch handle 20 can be used with a faucet 10. The handle body 21 is located on one side of the valve core 40 of the faucet 10. The connecting structure 22 is sequentially inserted into the handle body 21 and the valve core 40 to connect them. The decorative cover 23 is fitted to one end of the handle body 21 to cover the connecting structure 22, and at least one of the connecting structure 22 and the handle body 21 is magnetically attracted to the decorative cover 23. The decorative cover 23 in this utility model is assembled using a magnetic fixation method. During installation, simply align the decorative cover 23 with the installation opening of the handle body 21 for automatic adsorption and fixation. During disassembly, it can be easily removed using magnetic adsorption, achieving a quick "place and install, attract and remove" operation. Thus, the magnetic decorative cover 23 simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, prevents it from being squeezed or scratched by tools during assembly and disassembly, reduces wear and deformation, extends its service life, and ensures that it can still be easily assembled and disassembled after long-term use. At the same time, the magnetic force allows the decorative cover 23 to fit evenly and tightly against the handle body 21, effectively reducing gaps and improving the overall aesthetics and assembly precision of the switch handle 20.

[0031] It is understood that the switch handle 20 in this embodiment of the present invention may further include a disassembly magnet. This disassembly magnet may be a separate design, allowing the operator to store it in a storage area for easy removal when disassembling the decorative cover 23. The disassembly magnet can also be any type of strong magnet. The magnetic attraction between the disassembly magnet and the decorative cover 23 may be greater than the magnetic attraction between the decorative cover 23 and at least one of the connecting structure 22 and the handle body 21.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is an exploded view of a switch handle 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a decorative cover 23 provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. In an optional embodiment, the decorative cover 23 may include a cover plate body 231 and a first magnetic connector 232 connected together. The connecting structure 22 may include a second magnetic connector 221. The handle body 21 has an assembly groove 211 at one end away from the valve core 40, and an installation through hole k1 at the bottom of the assembly groove 211. The cover plate body 231 is located at the opening of the assembly groove 211. The first magnetic connector 232 is located on the side of the cover plate body 231 close to the valve core 40. The second magnetic connector 221 passes through the installation through hole k1 and is connected to the valve core 40. The first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 attract each other.

[0033] The first magnetic connector 232 can be fixedly connected to the cover plate body 231. For example, the first magnetic connector 232 and the cover plate body 231 can be glued or snapped together.

[0034] The valve core 40 may have a countersunk hole for mounting. The second magnetic connector 221 has a first end and a second end. The second magnetic connector 221 passes through the mounting through hole k1, and the second end of the second magnetic connector 221 is located in the mounting countersunk hole of the valve core 40. The first end of the second magnetic connector 221 is located outside the mounting through hole k1 of the handle body 21. That is, the first end of the second magnetic connector 221 can be located in the mounting groove 211. The groove of the mounting groove 211 can be an installation opening. When installing the second magnetic connector 221, the operator can insert the second magnetic connector 221 from the groove of the mounting groove 211 into the mounting groove 211, and make the second magnetic connector 221 pass through the mounting through hole k1 and the mounting countersunk hole in sequence, so that the second magnetic connector 221 can connect the handle body 21 and the valve core 40 through a threaded connection.

[0035] In one exemplary embodiment, the material of the cover body 231 may include metal or ceramic. For example, the material of the cover body 231 may include stainless steel, and the material of the handle body 21 may also include stainless steel. In other words, the cover body 231 may be a structure made of stainless steel, which can improve the durability of the decorative cover 23.

[0036] The material of the cover body 231 and the handle body 21 can be the same. Hard materials (such as stainless steel or chrome plating) can match the overall appearance design of the handle body 21, thus enhancing the overall aesthetics of the switch handle 20. This allows the decorative cover 23 to have a hard surface, which (such as metal or ceramic) is less prone to water stains or mold, making cleaning easier. Furthermore, the decorative cover 23 can be completely removed, facilitating thorough cleaning of the mounting groove 211 of the handle body 21.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 In one optional embodiment, the shortest distance between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 is less than the shortest distance between the first magnetic connector 232 and the outer side of the cover body. Since the magnetic field strength between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 is inversely proportional to the distance between them (i.e., the closer the distance, the stronger the magnetic field); and the attraction force between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 is also negatively correlated with the distance (i.e., the smaller the distance, the greater the magnetic attraction force), by making the distance between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 shorter, the attraction force between them can be enhanced, thereby improving the magnetic stability of the decorative cover 23 and preventing accidental detachment due to external forces (such as vibration or shaking). When a metal object in the external environment accidentally touches the decorative cover 23, the distance between the external metal object and the first magnetic connector 232 is less than the distance between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221. Therefore, the situation where the decorative cover 23 is accidentally pulled away by the external metal object can be avoided. That is, the first magnetic connector 232 is farther away from the outer side and closer to the second magnetic connector 221, which reduces the risk of the decorative cover 23 accidentally falling off due to accidental contact by external objects (such as metal objects).

[0038] Furthermore, placing the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 closer to each other may reduce the space occupied by the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 on the internal space of the switch handle 20, making the structure of the switch handle 20 more compact and optimizing the spatial layout.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221 can contact each other.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 In one optional embodiment, the first magnetic connector 232 may include a magnet, and the second magnetic connector 221 may include a connecting bolt made of a magnetic material. For example, the magnetic material may include at least one of materials such as iron, nickel, silicon steel, or martensitic stainless steel.

[0041] The connecting bolt may include a connecting head and a screw, wherein the screw can pass through the mounting through hole k1 on the handle body 21 and be threadedly connected to the valve core 40, the head can be located in the mounting groove 211 of the handle body 21, and the cover plate body 231 located at the groove of the mounting groove 211 can cover the head.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, when the decorative cover is fixed by a magnetic connection between itself and the handle body, both the decorative cover and the handle body can be made of magnetic material.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, when the decorative cover is fixed by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic connector and the second magnetic connector, both the cover body and the handle body can be made of non-magnetic materials. This avoids the problem of accidental disassembly caused by the decorative cover coming into contact with external ferrous materials.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is an exploded structural diagram of a decorative cover 23 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the decorative cover 23 may further include a mounting part 233, which is fixedly connected to the side of the cover body 231 near the connecting structure 22. The mounting part 233 may be welded or bonded to the cover body 231, or the mounting part 233 and the cover body 231 may be an integral structure. In this way, through welding, bonding or integral molding processes, a rigid connection is formed between the mounting part 233 and the cover body 231, which prevents the decorative cover 23 from shifting or deforming under vibration or external force, thereby improving the overall structural strength and enhancing the stability of the decorative cover 23.

[0045] The first magnetic connector 232 can be snapped into the mounting part 233. The mounting groove 211 of the handle body 21 includes a first groove c1 and a second groove c2. The second groove c2 is located at the bottom of the first groove c1, and the mounting through hole k1 is located at the bottom of the second groove c2. The cover plate body 231 is assembled in the first groove c1, and the mounting part 233 is assembled in the second groove c2. The outer diameter of the cover plate body 231 can match the inner diameter of the first groove c1, thereby reducing the gap between the cover plate body 231 and the first groove c1.

[0046] In the direction parallel to the bottom of the first groove c1, the size of the first groove c1 is larger than the size of the second groove c2. In the direction perpendicular to the bottom of the first groove c1, the depth of the first groove c1 is less than the depth of the second groove c2.

[0047] The cover body 231 and the mounting part 233 are respectively embedded in the first groove c1 and the second groove c2 to form a layered positioning. The lateral sway of the decorative cover 23 is further suppressed by physical constraints. In this way, the decorative cover 23 is assembled in the handle body 21 through the nesting of the double grooves, which can improve the assembly stability of the decorative cover 23.

[0048] Furthermore, by engaging the first magnetic connector 232 with the mounting part 233, and utilizing the cooperation between the mounting part 233 and the second groove c2, the positioning accuracy of the first magnetic connector is ensured, preventing magnetic misalignment and ensuring the adsorption reliability between the first magnetic connector 232 and the second magnetic connector 221, thereby ensuring the adsorption reliability between the decorative cover 23 and the connecting structure 22.

[0049] The first magnetic connector 232 can be hidden in the mounting part 233 and the second groove c2 to form a hidden magnetic structure, keeping the appearance of the decorative cover 23 simple, while reducing the interference of external foreign objects on the magnetic function.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 In one exemplary embodiment, the handle body 21 may include an inner layer structure a1 and an outer shell a2. The inner layer structure a1 is used to form a first groove c1 and a second groove c2. The outer shell a2 may be cylindrical. The space between the outer shell a2 and the inner shell may be hollow to reduce the overall weight and material usage of the handle body 21.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one optional embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the bottom of the first groove c1, the depth of the first groove c1 is the same as the thickness of the cover body 231, and the depth of the second groove c2 is greater than the height of the mounting portion 233. This allows the outer surface of the cover body 231 to be flush with the opening of the first groove c1 of the handle body 21, further improving the surface flatness of the switch handle 20, reducing hard-to-clean corners on the surface of the switch handle 20, and enhancing the aesthetics of the switch handle 20.

[0052] The second groove c2 is also used to accommodate the head of the connecting bolt. Therefore, the depth of the second groove c2 can be greater than or equal to the sum of the height of the mounting part 233 and the height of the head of the connecting bolt.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one optional embodiment, the mounting portion 233 may include a plurality of clamping members 2331, which are arranged at intervals around the first magnetic connector 232, and all clamping members 2331 abut against the first magnetic connector 232 to clamp the first magnetic connector 232. For example, the mounting portion 233 may include two clamping members 2331, or it may include three, four, or more clamping members 2331. This embodiment of the present invention does not limit the number of clamping members 2331, and there are gaps between adjacent clamping members 2331.

[0054] Multiple clamping members 2331 can be made of metal, giving them a degree of elasticity. By arranging the multiple clamping members 2331 at intervals around the first magnetic connector 232, a uniform radial force is applied to the first magnetic connector 232, effectively dispersing clamping pressure, avoiding stress concentration at single points, and improving the overall installation stability of the first magnetic connector 232. Furthermore, the multiple clamping members 2331 form a multi-directional abutment clamping structure with the first magnetic connector 232, preventing displacement of the first magnetic connector 232 under vibration or external force through multi-point fixation, thus enhancing its resistance to displacement. For example, during the production of the switch handle 20, the first magnetic connector 232 can be assembled into the mounting part 233; the stable clamping structure prevents the first magnetic connector 232 from detaching from the mounting part 233 during transportation.

[0055] Furthermore, by using a separate design and a clamping connection, it is easy to separate the cover body 231 and the mounting part 233 from the first magnetic connector 232 for maintenance or replacement. If the first magnetic connector 232 loses its magnetism after the switch handle 20 has been used for a long time, tools can be used to remove the first magnetic connector 232 from the mounting part 233 to replace the first magnetic connector 232.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the first magnetic connector 232 may also be enclosed in the mounting portion 233, or the inner side of the opening of the mounting portion 233 may have a retaining ring, which is used to restrict the first magnetic connector 232 assembled in the mounting portion 233 from being dislodged from the mounting portion 233, thereby improving the installation stability of the first magnetic connector 232.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the inner wall of the clamping member 2331 may be arc-shaped, and the first magnetic connector 232 may be cylindrical, such as a cylinder. The inner wall of the clamping member 2331 matches the shape of the outer wall of the first magnetic connector 232. That is, the inner wall of the clamping member 2331 may be curved, and the diameter of the first magnetic connector 232 may be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the mounting portion 233, so that when the first magnetic connector 232 is inserted between multiple clamping members 2331, it can generate clamping force by the elastic deformation of the clamping member 2331, so that the first magnetic connector 232 is firmly held in the mounting portion 233. The radius of curvature of the inner wall of the clamping member 2331 matches the radius of curvature of the outer wall of the first magnetic connector 232, ensuring that the contact surface between the clamping member 2331 and the first magnetic connector 232 is subjected to uniform force.

[0058] In one exemplary embodiment, the opening of the mounting part 233 (that is, the end of the clamping member 2331) has a chamfered structure 2332. The bevel formed by the chamfered structure 2332 can guide the first magnetic connector 232 to slide smoothly into the space between multiple clamping members 2331 during assembly, thereby playing a guiding and positioning role to avoid jamming or collision caused by misalignment. Furthermore, by reducing the sharp edges when the first magnetic connector 232 and the chamfered structure 2332 initially come into contact, the chamfered structure 2332 makes manual or automated assembly smoother, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving operational efficiency.

[0059] In addition, the chamfered structure 2332 can prevent scratches or deformation caused by rigid contact between the end of the first magnetic connector 232 and the clamping member 2331, extend the service life of each component, and reduce the debris generated by friction to protect the structural integrity. The chamfered structure 2332 can also allow for slight angular deviations when assembling the first magnetic connector 232. The transition space provided by the chamfered structure 2332 can adaptively adjust the assembly position of the first magnetic connector 232 to avoid stress concentration or structural damage caused by forced insertion.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, the inner and outer sides of the end of the clamping member 2331 have chamfered structures 2332. In this way, the inclined surface formed by the chamfered structure 2332 can guide the mounting part 233 to slide smoothly into the second groove c2 during assembly, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the decorative cover 23, extending the service life of the decorative cover 23 and protecting its overall integrity.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a handle body 21 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the decorative cover 23 has a first positioning part 234 on the side near the valve core 40, and a hot / cold indicator 235 on the side of the decorative cover 23 away from the valve core 40; the handle body 21 has a second positioning part 212 on the side away from the valve core 40, and the first positioning part 234 and the second positioning part 212 are connected in cooperation. For example, the first positioning part 234 may include a positioning protrusion, which may be located outside the mounting part 233; the second positioning part 212 may include a positioning groove, which may be located at the bottom of the first groove c1 and at the opening of the second groove c2. When the decorative cover 23 is mounted on the handle body 21, the positioning protrusion may be mounted in the second groove c2. Through the cooperative connection of the first positioning part 234 and the second positioning part 212, misalignment of the hot / cold indicator 235 on the decorative cover 23 can be avoided.

[0062] The hot and cold marking 235 can be a marking formed by processes such as polishing, printing, or oxidation coloring; for example, the hot and cold marking 235 can include blue dots and red dots arranged opposite each other, and a transparent protective layer can be formed on the outside of the decorative cover 23 with the hot and cold marking 235 to protect the hot and cold marking 235 and prevent wear. For example, the transparent protective layer can include a nano-ceramic coating.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model embodiment also provides a faucet 10, which may include: a faucet body 30, a valve core 40, and a switch handle 20; the valve core 40 is installed inside the faucet body 30, and the switch handle 20 is connected to the valve core 40, the switch handle 20 including the switch handle 20 in any of the above embodiments. The faucet 10 may also include a valve core fixing sleeve 50 and a decorative ring 60, wherein the valve core fixing sleeve 50 is sleeved on the outside of the valve core 40 and threadedly connected to the faucet body 30 to fix the valve core 40 in the faucet body 30. The decorative ring 60 is sleeved on one end of the valve core fixing sleeve 50 and located between the valve core fixing sleeve 50 and the switch handle 20, which can reduce exposed gaps on the faucet 10. The faucet 10 in this utility model embodiment may include: a water faucet 10 (for washbasins and kitchens) and a shower faucet 10 (for showering).

[0064] The faucet body 30 has an internal water flow channel, which includes independent upper and lower water flow channels. The inner core has an axially continuous structure, with the top end being the outlet and the bottom end being the inlet. Inside the faucet body 30 is a valve core 40 mounting position, which has an outlet and an inlet. The outlet connects to the upper water flow channel, and the inlet connects to the lower water flow channel. The valve core 40 is mechanically fixed to the mounting position and has an internal water flow groove structure. This groove allows the upper and lower water flow channels to connect or disconnect when the valve core 40 rotates.

[0065] The switch handle 20 is rigidly connected to the valve core 40. When an external force is applied to the switch handle 20, the valve core 40 is rotated through torque transmission, causing the water passage and the water flow channel to have relative displacement, thereby achieving precise control of the water flow interruption.

[0066] It should be noted that the dimensions of the areas may have been exaggerated in the accompanying drawings for clarity. Furthermore, it is understood that when an element is referred to as "on top of" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or there may be intermediate elements. Additionally, it is understood that when an element is referred to as "below" another element, it can be directly below the other element, or there may be more than one intermediate element. Furthermore, it is also understood that when an element is referred to as "between" two elements, it can be the only layer between the two elements, or there may be more than one intermediate element. Similar reference numerals throughout indicate similar elements.

[0067] In this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.
