Abstract
Description
Control valve housing with water outlet, control valve, faucet and water outlet device Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of faucets, and in particular to a control valve outer shell provided with a water outlet, a control valve, a faucet and a water outlet device. Background Art
[0002] The valve core is a key component in the faucet. The action of the valve core controls the water flow and water temperature. The existing valve core is usually provided with a water inlet and a water outlet at the bottom of the valve seat. Water flows in through the bottom water inlet, and after the water flow or water temperature is adjusted by the control valve plate inside the valve core, it flows out from the bottom water outlet and then flows out of the faucet through the water outlet hose. For faucets with a water outlet arm, the use of the above valve core has the following disadvantages:
[0003] 1. Since the water outlet is set on the bottom valve seat, it needs to be connected to the water outlet of the faucet through a hose. The assembly is relatively complicated, and space for the hose installation needs to be reserved inside the faucet, which makes the faucet body larger and the cost increased.
[0004] 2. Since the water outlet of the valve core is set on the bottom valve seat, in order to facilitate the installation of the hose, the valve core is usually set above the water inlet end of the water outlet of the faucet body, which increases the height of the faucet body and leads to increased costs. At the same time, it causes a greater height difference between the faucet handle and the water outlet, making the overall faucet structure not compact.
[0005] 3. Through the transfer of the hose, the hose needs to be bent inside the faucet body, which may easily cause the hose to be squeezed and cause poor water flow.

The hot water channel 701 and the cold water channel 702 can be connected with the mixing water chamber 510. The hot water outlet 601 is used to connect the hot water channel 701 and the mixing water chamber 510, the cold water outlet 602 is used to connect the cold water channel 702 and the mixing water chamber 510, and the second water outlet 603 is used to connect the water outlet channel 703 and the mixing water chamber 510.
[0101] In this embodiment, the first water outlet 104 of the shell 100 is used to connect to the water outlet pipe of the faucet. After the cold water and hot water enter the mixing chamber 510 and mix, they can flow out from the water outlet channel 703, then enter the chamber 105 between the base 700 and the shell 100, and finally flow out from the first water outlet 104 of the shell 100. The water only passes through the interior of the valve core 1000, does not pass through the valve core mounting seat, and does not contact the outer shell of the faucet. The water enters from the inside of the valve core 1000 and exits from the inside of the valve core, which can reduce the requirements for the material of the valve core mounting seat or the faucet and reduce costs.
[0102] 13 and 14 , further, a threaded sleeve 717 is provided at the hot water inlet 705 and the cold water inlet 707. The threaded sleeve 717 is annular in structure and has internal threads.

Furthermore, the peripheral wall of the hot water inlet 705 and the cold water inlet 707 extends downward to form a mounting portion 719. The mounting portion 719 is annular in structure and is located below the threaded sleeve 717. During installation, the mounting portion 719 can limit the hot water pipe or cold water pipe, which can facilitate the alignment of the hot water pipe or cold water pipe with the threaded sleeve 717 and facilitate installation. Furthermore, a sealing ring can be provided below the threaded sleeve 717 to improve the sealing effect.
[0103] 20 , the water outlet channel 703 further includes a first section 721 and a second section 722. The cross-sections of the first section 721 and the second section 722 are L-shaped. The first section 721 extends vertically and horizontally, and the second section 722 is located below the first section 721. The upper end of the first section 721 forms the mixed water inlet 708, and the end of the second section 722 forms the mixed water outlet 709. The structure of the water outlet channel 703 is simple and can be easily processed.
