Abstract

A concealed embedded component for a waterway system includes a lower main body with a cool water inlet passage, a hot water inlet passage, a mixing water passage and at least an outlet passage; an embedded box including a box body and a fixing frame covering the box body; a water testing element with the bottom surface disposed with a first passage and a second passage. The lower main body is disposed in the box body, the water testing element is disposed in the box body, the water testing element covers the lower main body to constitute the outlet passage, and the mixing water passage is connected to the cool water inlet passage or the hot water inlet passage. Since the lower main body is disposed in the box body and is separated from concrete, it is convenient to disassemble the concealed embedded component for maintenance.

Claims (19)

1. A concealed embedded component for a waterway system in a structure, comprising:

a lower main body including a cool water inlet passage; a hot water inlet passage; a mixing water passage; and at least an outlet passage, the cool water inlet passage, the hot water inlet passage, the mixing water passage and the outlet passage being respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet;

an embedded box comprised of a box body; and a fixing frame covering the box body, a side wall of the box body being provided with a cool water hole; a hot water hole; and at least an outlet hole;

a water testing element having a bottom surface provided with a first passage and a second passage,

wherein the lower main body is disposed in the box body, the inlet of the cool water inlet passage is aligned with the cool water hole, the inlet of the hot water inlet passage is aligned with the hot water hole, the outlet of the outlet passage is aligned with the outlet hole, and

wherein the water testing element is disposed in the box body, the water testing element covers the lower main body to constitute said outlet passage, and the mixing water passage is connected to the cool water inlet passage or the hot water inlet passage.

2. The concealed embedded component according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing frame comprises two insert elements both of which have a U-shape, one end face of each of the two the insert elements being provided with a lock portion, another end face of each of the two insert elements being provided with a lock groove, the box body having an external surface that is provided with at least two protruding rings, one insert element of the two insert elements being embedded in two adjacent protruding rings, and the lock portion of one insert element being inserted into the lock groove of the another insert element.

3. The concealed embedded component according to claim 2 , wherein the two insert elements each have an internal side surface that is provided with a guiding column, the box body has an external surface that is concaved with a position hole, and the guiding column is inserted into the position hole.

4. The concealed embedded component according to claim 2 , wherein the body box has an external surface that is provided with four protruding rings.

5. The concealed embedded component according to claim 2 , wherein the body box has an external surface that has defined therein a plurality of annular cut marks that are disposed at the at least two protruding rings.

6. The concealed embedded component according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of annular cut marks are arranged in parallel with one another and spaced apart from one another.

7. The concealed embedded component according to claim 1 , wherein the box body has a side wall that is disposed with a data line interface.

8. The concealed embedded component according to claim 1 , wherein the cool water inlet passage has a center portion, and wherein the center portion of the cool water inlet passage and the hot water inlet passage are respectively provided with an adjusting valve to adjust outlet volume.

9. The concealed embedded component according to claim 1 , wherein the lower main body is provided with a reservation outlet connected to the mixing water passage, and the box body is provided with an outlet port corresponding to the reservation outlet.

10. The concealed embedded component according to claim 9 , wherein the box body has four side walls, the lower main body is provided with three outlet passages, the embedded box is provided with three outlet holes, and the three outlet holes of the embedded box and the outlet port of the box body are respectively disposed at the four side walls of the box body.

11. The concealed embedded component according to claim 8 , wherein the adjusting valve used to adjust outlet volume comprises a spring; and a sealing ring which serve as a check valve to prevent water from being siphoned and flowing backwardly to pollute the water resource and to prevent hot water and cool water from mixing due to a pressure difference between the hot water and the cool water.

12. The concealed embedded component according to claim 5 , wherein at the external surface of the box body has at least one extra cut mark of the plurality of annular cut marks and the at least one extra cut mark is configured for being broken off after assembly.

13. The concealed embedded component according to claim 8 , wherein the lower main body is provided with a reservation outlet connected to the mixing water passage, and the box body is provided with an outlet port corresponding to the reservation outlet.

14. The concealed embedded component according to claim 13 , wherein the box body has four side walls, the lower main body is provided with three outlet passages, the embedded box is provided with three outlet holes, and the three outlet holes of the embedded box and the outlet port of the box body are respectively disposed at the four side walls of the box body.
