Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, specifically to a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable water supply and drainage terminal device in modern buildings, the basic structure of a faucet typically consists of two parts: a housing and a valve core. The housing, serving as the main frame and exterior component of the faucet, generally comprises a vertical housing and a horizontal housing. The vertical housing (or main body) provides support and connection; the horizontal housing (or spout) guides the water flow. In traditional faucet designs, the valve core is usually housed inside the upper part of the vertical housing. Specifically, during manufacturing, a cavity structure to accommodate the valve core, i.e., the valve seat, is directly machined inside the upper part of the vertical housing; alternatively, a chamber is formed at the upper end of the vertical housing, and the valve seat is placed inside this chamber. During assembly, the valve core is first placed into the valve seat, and then a fastener called a pressure cap (or pressure nut) is screwed in from above to firmly press and seal the valve core within the valve seat, thus completing the fixation of the core control mechanism. However, since the valve seat body needs to be directly molded or form a cavity inside the upper part of the vertical housing, this requires that a sufficiently large opening (the radius of this part is limited) be reserved to receive the valve core or valve seat body. This structural requirement greatly restricts the design freedom of the upper part of the vertical housing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a faucet that can be made into various shapes at the upper end of the first housing, without being limited by the size of the valve assembly.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] See Figures 1-3 A faucet, the faucet comprising a housing 1, a valve assembly 2, and a handle 3.

[0023] The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, with the second housing 12 connected to the first housing 11, forming a water outlet channel 121. Specifically, the first housing 11 extends vertically, and the second housing 12 extends horizontally. One end of the second housing 12 is connected to the side wall of the first housing 11, and the other end of the second housing 12 is provided with an aerator 4. The second housing 12 encloses and defines the water outlet channel 121, and the aerator 4 is connected to the water outlet channel 121. The lower end of the first housing 11 presses against a countertop such as a washbasin, and the first housing 11 has a through-pipe structure extending vertically.

[0024] The valve assembly 2 includes a valve seat 21 and a valve core 22 disposed on the valve seat 21. The valve assembly 2 is configured to be installed into the first housing 11 from bottom to top as a whole, so as to connect the water outlet channel 121. The handle 3 is disposed at the upper end of the first housing 11 to connect the valve core 22.

[0025] During installation, the valve core 22 can be first connected to the valve seat 21 to form a whole. Then, the valve assembly 2 is installed from the lower end of the first housing 11, so that the valve assembly 2 is connected to the water outlet channel 121. The valve assembly 2 can be located on the upper side of the first housing 11 and connected to the handle 3. Therefore, the upper side of the first housing 11 does not need a large space to form an opening or seat to accommodate the valve core 22 installed from top to bottom, which facilitates various shapes for the upper end of the first housing 11. The diameter of the upper end of the first housing 11 can even be made smaller than the diameter of the valve core 22.

[0026] In this embodiment, the valve seat 21 includes a seat body 211 and a seat cover 212. The seat body 211 includes an upper opening 2111, and the valve core 22 is disposed within the seat body 211 through the upper opening 2111. The seat cover 212 is threadedly connected to the upper opening 2111 of the seat body 211 to press and fix the valve core 22. The seat body 211 includes a water outlet, which is connected to the valve core 22; when the valve assembly 2 is connected to the first housing 11, the water outlet corresponds to the water outlet channel 121 of the second housing 12. In this embodiment, the water outlet is disposed on the side wall of the seat body 211; the valve assembly 2 also includes two sealing members 23 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the seat body 211, which are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the first housing 11 corresponding to the second housing 12.

[0027] The faucet also includes a fastener 5; the upper end of the first housing 11 includes a limiting surface 111. When the valve assembly 2 is installed into the first housing 11 from bottom to top, the upper end of the valve assembly 2 abuts against the limiting surface 111, and the fastener 5 is fastened to the first housing 11 to fix the valve assembly 2. The fastener 5 is configured to be installed from the lower end of the first housing 11, and the fastener 5 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing 11 to press and fix the valve assembly 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the valve assembly 2 is used to connect the water inlet pipe 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, a fixing component 7 is also connected to the lower end face of the valve assembly 2. The fixing component 7 is used to connect the first housing 11 to the platform. Specifically, the fixing component 7 includes a mounting screw 71, a mounting washer 72, and a mounting nut 73. One end of the mounting screw 71 is connected to the lower end face of the valve assembly 2, the washer passes through the mounting screw 71, and the mounting nut 73 is connected to the mounting screw 71.

[0030] During installation, the valve core 22 is first placed inside the seat body 211, and the seat cover 212 is threadedly connected to the upper opening 2111 of the seat body 211 to press and fix the valve core 22. Then, the valve assembly 2 is inserted from the bottom up into the lower end of the first housing 11 until it abuts against the limiting surface 111. The fastener 5 is then used to fix the valve assembly 2 inside the first housing 11. At this time, the valve shaft 221 of the valve core 22 extends out of the upper end of the first housing 11, and the handle 3 is connected to the valve shaft 221. Next, the mounting screw 71 and the water inlet pipe 6 are connected to the lower end face of the seat body 211. The mounting screw 71 and the water inlet pipe 6 are inserted into the mounting hole on the table surface, so that the mounting screw 71 corresponds to the underside of the table surface. A washer is inserted through the mounting screw 71, and then the mounting nut 73 is screwed on. The mounting nut 73 moves the washer to press against the lower side of the table surface, thus completing the installation.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
