Abstract

A connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet, comprising: an H-shaped skeleton and a water seal plate. The H-shaped skeleton is made of plastic, including: a lateral tube, having opening provided thereon; two tube-shaped valve seats, connected respectively to both ends of the lateral tube, with its inner cavity connected and in communication with channels of the lateral tube, on a flange at an upper port is provided with outer threads, at its lower end water input port is disposed a water input tube having outer threads and extending downward. The water seal plate is made of plastic, used to fix around and seal the opening of the lateral tube. The opening is provided on an upper end face of the lateral tube and extending into the tube-shaped valve seat.

Claims (12)

1. A connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet, comprising:

an H-shaped skeleton, made of plastic, including:

a lateral tube, having opening provided thereon;

two tube-shaped valve seats, connected respectively to both ends of the lateral tube inner cavities of the two tube-shaped valve seats being connected and in communication with channels of the lateral tube, a flange at an upper end of each of the two tube-shaped valve seats is provided with outer threads, a water input port at a lower end of each of the two tube-shaped valve seats being disposed a water input tube having outer threads and extending downward;

a plurality of horizontal reinforcing ribs being parallel to each other and protruding from an outer periphery of each of the two tube-shaped valve seats from top to bottom,

a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing ribs being parallel to each other and protruding from an outer periphery of each of the two tube-shaped valve seats from top to bottom, wherein the horizontal reinforcing ribs are perpendicular to the longitudinal reinforcing ribs, and

a water seal plate, made of plastic, to fix and seal the opening of the lateral tube, the water seal plate is provided with a water output port connected and being in communication with the lateral tube, and the water output port is provided with a water output tube connected to a faucet.

2. The connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet as claimed in claim 1 , wherein outer threads are provided around an outer perimeter of the water output tube, to be thread-connected to the faucet.

3. The connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

two protrusion blocks, disposed respectively on two sides at two upper ends of the water output tube, to be fastened to the faucet; while a vertical protrusion portion being protruded from an outer surface of each of the two protrusion blocks, and the two outer surfaces facing away from each other, and an indent portion is provided at a lower portion at an inside face of the protrusion block, to match and receive a connection end of the faucet.

4. The connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water seal plate is welded, glued, or injection molded to the opening of the lateral tube, and an arc-shaped bend portion is formed into a forward bend at a middle part of the lateral tube.

5. The connection structure for a plastic water channel main body of a temperature regulating faucet as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: two position restriction indent portions, provided respectively on inner walls at upper ports of the tube-shaped valve seat, used for installing a valve body.
