Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, specifically a split-type faucet. Background Technology

[0002] As a basic bathroom fixture in daily life, the structure and materials of faucets directly affect their lifespan, user experience, and water health. Currently, most faucets on the market use a one-piece structure, meaning the outer shell and internal flow channel are cast as a single piece. This structure has the following main drawbacks:

[0003] Limited material options and potential health risks: In pursuit of structural strength and aesthetic appeal, most faucets are manufactured using a single piece of metal such as zinc alloy or stainless steel. Prolonged contact with water can cause these metals to leach harmful substances like lead, posing a potential health threat to users.

[0004] High cost: If high-quality metals such as pure copper are used to ensure water quality safety, the cost of raw materials and manufacturing will increase significantly, resulting in high product prices.

[0005] Poor flexibility and inconvenient maintenance: The one-piece design makes the outer shell and internal components fixed together. Once a part is damaged or needs to be cleaned of limescale, the entire faucet often needs to be replaced, which increases maintenance costs and wastes resources.

[0006] Long development cycle: Different styles and models of faucets require the development of different molds, which increases production costs and time.

[0007] Therefore, a split-type faucet is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a split-type faucet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A split-type faucet includes an outer shell and an inner liner body detachably connected thereto. The inner liner body is installed inside the outer shell. The outer shell includes: a horizontal shell, a vertical shell, a handle mounting sleeve, a mounting groove, a control valve port, a pipe connection port, and a water outlet. The horizontal shell and the vertical shell form a T-shape and are internally connected. The horizontal shell has symmetrically arranged mounting grooves. The top of the horizontal shell has a connected handle mounting sleeve. The top of the vertical shell has a control valve port, and the bottom has a pipe connection port and a water outlet. The pipe connection port is located between the water outlet and the horizontal shell.

[0011] The inner tank body includes: a valve core base, a cold water inlet pipe, a hot water inlet pipe, a control valve pipe, and an outlet pipe. The valve core base is symmetrically connected to the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe on both sides. The cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe are both connected to the inside of the valve core base. The valve core base is connected to one end of the control valve pipe, and the other end of the control valve pipe is connected to the outlet pipe.

[0012] The cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe are respectively snapped into the two sets of mounting slots. The valve core base is located at the bottom of the handle mounting cylinder. The top of the control valve pipe is aligned with the control valve port, and the bottom is aligned with the pipe connection port. The bottom of the outlet pipe is aligned with the water storage port.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: symmetrically arranged limiting grooves are provided on the top inner wall of the horizontal housing about the handle mounting cylinder, and the limiting grooves are slidably engaged with the valve core base; symmetrically arranged side limiting blocks are provided on the top inner wall of the vertical housing about the control valve port, and the side limiting blocks abut against the outer wall of the control valve pipe; a position limiting block is provided on the top inner wall of the vertical housing, and the position limiting block abuts against the outer wall of the front end of the water outlet pipe; symmetrically arranged side limiting blocks are provided on the bottom inner wall of the vertical housing about the water outlet, and the side limiting blocks abut against the outer wall of the water outlet pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] Health and safety, guaranteed water quality: By separating the flow-through components (inner tank) from the structural components (outer shell), the inner tank can be made of absolutely safe food-grade plastic or high-quality copper, fundamentally eliminating the risk of heavy metal leaching and ensuring healthy water use.

[0016] Significantly reduced costs: The outer shell can be made of inexpensive metals, and the inner liner is extremely inexpensive if made of plastic. Even if copper is used, the total cost is far lower than that of a pure copper faucet due to the small amount required. This makes the widespread adoption of high-quality, healthy faucets possible.

[0017] Modular design for easy maintenance: The outer shell and inner liner are independent modules. If the outer shell is damaged due to impact or aging, it can be replaced separately while preserving the inner liner; conversely, if the inner liner is blocked or malfunctioning, it can also be replaced separately. This greatly simplifies the repair process and reduces maintenance costs for users.

[0018] Flexible and versatile with strong adaptability: The separate design of the outer shell and inner liner can be widely used in various types of faucets, such as kitchen sink faucets, washbasin faucets, and shower faucets, and has good market adaptability.

[0019] Highly efficient and environmentally friendly: The outer shell and inner liner can be molded separately and produced in parallel, improving production efficiency. Modular replacement also reduces overall waste, which aligns with the concept of green environmental protection. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A split-type faucet includes an outer shell body 1 and an inner liner body 2 detachably connected thereto. The inner liner body 2 is installed inside the outer shell body 1. The outer shell body 1 includes: a horizontal shell 11, a vertical shell 12, a handle mounting sleeve 13, a mounting groove 14, a control valve port 15, a pipe connection port 16, and a water outlet 17. The horizontal shell 11 and the vertical shell 12 form a T-shape and are internally connected. The mounting groove 14 is symmetrically arranged inside the horizontal shell 11. The top of the horizontal shell 11 is provided with a connected handle mounting sleeve 13. The top of the vertical shell 12 is provided with a control valve port 15, and the bottom is provided with a pipe connection port 16 and a water outlet 17. The pipe connection port 16 is located between the water outlet 17 and the horizontal shell 11.

[0028] The inner tank body 2 includes: a valve core base 21, a cold water inlet pipe 22, a hot water inlet pipe 23, a control valve pipe 24, and a water outlet pipe 25. The valve core base 21 is symmetrically connected to the cold water inlet pipe 22 and the hot water inlet pipe 23 on both sides. The cold water inlet pipe 22 and the hot water inlet pipe 23 are both connected to the inside of the valve core base 21. The valve core base 21 is connected to one end of the control valve pipe 24, and the other end of the control valve pipe 24 is connected to the water outlet pipe 25.

[0029] The cold water inlet pipe 22 and the hot water inlet pipe 23 are respectively snapped into the two sets of mounting slots 14. The valve core base 21 is located at the bottom of the handle mounting cylinder 13. The top of the control valve pipe 24 is aligned with the control valve port 15, and the bottom is aligned with the pipe connection port 16. The bottom of the water outlet pipe 25 is aligned with the water storage port 17.

[0030] The outer shell 1 is a T-shaped structure composed of a horizontal shell 11 and a vertical shell 12, which are internally connected. The horizontal shell 11 has symmetrically fixed mounting slots 14 for engaging the cold water inlet 22 and hot water inlet pipe 23 of the inner tank body 2. The top of the horizontal shell 11 is provided with a handle mounting sleeve 13 for mounting a control handle (not shown in the figure). The handle is connected to the valve core of the inner tank body 2 through a valve stem. The top of the vertical shell 12 has a control valve port 15 for exposing the control valve pipe 24 for connecting the control mechanism. The bottom has a shower pipe connection port 16 and a water outlet 17. The shower pipe connection port 16 is used to connect a shower hose (such as a shower head), and the water outlet 17 is used for direct water flow (such as in faucet mode).

[0031] The inner tank body 2 includes a valve core base 21, a cold water inlet pipe 22, a hot water inlet pipe 23, a control valve pipe 24, and an outlet pipe 25. The valve core base 21 houses a valve core (not shown in the figure), a conventional mixing valve core, which adjusts the mixing ratio of hot and cold water by rotation. The cold water inlet pipe 22 and the hot water inlet pipe 23 are respectively connected to external cold and hot water sources and communicate with the interior of the valve core base 21. One end of the control valve pipe 24 is connected to the valve core base 21, and the other end is connected to the outlet pipe 25, used to guide the mixed water out.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the outer shell body 1 does not directly contact the flowing water, it can be made of metal materials such as zinc alloy and stainless steel, which are low in cost, high in strength, and easy to shape into complex appearances.

[0033] Since the inner tank body 2 comes into direct contact with drinking water, the selection of materials prioritizes safety and health. A preferred option is food-grade plastic (such as PP, PPSU, etc.), which does not release harmful substances, is not prone to bacterial growth, and is extremely low in cost. Another preferred option is copper, which achieves water quality standards comparable to pure copper faucets while significantly reducing overall costs because copper is used only in the inner tank.

[0034] As one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The transverse housing 11 has symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 3 on the top inner wall about the handle mounting cylinder 13. The limiting grooves 3 are slidably engaged with the valve core base 21. The vertical housing 12 has symmetrically arranged side limiting blocks 4 on the top inner wall about the control valve port 15. The side limiting blocks 4 abut against the outer wall of the control valve pipe 24. The vertical housing 12 has a position limiting block 5 on the top inner wall. The position limiting block 5 abuts against the outer wall of the front end of the water outlet pipe 25. The vertical housing 12 has symmetrically arranged side limiting blocks 6 on the bottom inner wall about the water outlet 17. The side limiting blocks 6 abut against the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 25.

[0035] Installation process: First, insert the inner tank body 2 into the outer shell body 1. Align the cold water inlet pipe 22 and the hot water inlet pipe 23 with the mounting slots 14 inside the horizontal shell 11 and secure them in place. At the same time, slide the valve core base 21 along the limiting slot 3 to ensure it is located at the bottom of the handle mounting cylinder 13. Align the top of the control valve pipe 24 with the control valve port 15 and the bottom with the shower pipe connection port 16; align the bottom of the outlet pipe 25 with the outlet 17. During installation, the side limiting block 1 4 abuts against the outer wall of the control valve pipe 24, the position limiting block 5 abuts against the outer wall of the front end of the outlet pipe 25, and the side limiting block 2 6 abuts against the outer wall of the outlet pipe 25, thereby forming multiple limiting points around the inner tank body 2 to prevent shaking.
