Assembled panel assembly
An assembled panel assembly, which is used for in-wall bath faucet and comprises a panel, configured as a shell and has a main surface, on which receiving hole(s) is/are provided; a baseplate, located at one side of the panel and has corresponding engagement portion(s) for being mated with the receiving hole(s), which engagement portion(s) is/are configured as flange(s) delimiting engagement hole(s); housing(s), each configured to receive a button set, located at the other side of the panel, and detachably engaged with the engagement portion of the baseplate so as to secure it to the panel in the manner of being opposite to the baseplate, and the button set is configured to be moved in the axial direction relative to the engagement hole of the baseplate to drive the open or close of a button valve element. The assembled panel assembly, which provides innovative structural design, enables a panel with flat surface being independently applied to the in-wall bath faucet and optimizes the function of the button set by reasonable cooperation of the panel assembly. Such a panel is provided that can satisfy the demands for many kinds of surface processes on it in the post-process, which overcomes many defects presented in an uneven surface panel in the prior arts.
1. An assembled panel assembly for in-wall bath faucet, comprising:
a panel configured as a shell and having a main surface, on which receiving hole(s) is/are provided;
a baseplate located at one side of the panel and having corresponding engagement portion(s) with the receiving hole(s), wherein the engagement portion(s) is/are configured as flange(s) delimiting engagement hole(s);
housing(s) configured to receive a button set and located at another side of the panel ( 10 ), and to detachably engage with the engagement portion(s) of the baseplate to be secured to the panel opposite to the baseplate, wherein the button set is configured to be moved in an axial direction relative to the engagement hole(s) of the baseplate to drive an opening or closing of a button valve for controlling on-off of a fluid.
2. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the button set comprises a button body, which is received in the housing(s) and is engaged to the engagement portion(s) in an anti-rotation manner by partially extending through the engagement hole(s) of the baseplate, and the button body is configured to be able to move in the axial direction of the engagement hole(s) and to rest against the button valve at a side of the baseplate away from the panel, thereby actuating the opening or closing of the button valve.
3. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 2 , wherein
the button body comprises: a head received in the housing and a shaft extending through the engagement hole(s) in an axial direction of the head and having a smaller diameter relative to the head;
wherein the assembled panel assembly further comprises:
limiting member(s), snapped to the shaft at a side of the shaft away from the head;
elastic member(s), sleeved on the shaft, and one end thereof axially rests against the head, and the other end thereof rest against the limiting member(s), so that the button body can be elastically accessed to or kept away from the baseplate in the axial direction to close or open the button valve.
4. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the button set further comprises:
a button cover, engaged with the button body in an anti-rotation way at a side of the button body where the head of the button body is located;
fastener(s), engaged with the button cover so as to secure the button cover to the button body.
5. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the housing is engaged with the engagement portion(s) of the baseplate and is received in an annular gap delimited by the engagement portion(s) and the receiving hole(s) when the engagement portion(s) of the baseplate extend(s) through the receiving hole(s), thereby positioning the panel relative to the housing.
6. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the main surface of the panel is further provided with a mounting hole for mounting a temperature regulator, wherein the baseplate has a corresponding mating portion mated with the mounting hole, and the mounting hole and the mating portion are positioned to each other by mating a notch with a bumping.
7. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the baseplate is provided with rib(s) at a side facing the panel, wherein the rib(s) is(are) configured to keep clear of the receiving hole(s) on the panel.
8. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the button body at a periphery of the head is provided with a protrusion extending toward the shaft,
wherein the housing comprises:
a connection portion conformed to the annular gap;
an outer annular part located at an outer circumference of the connection portion and having a diameter greater than the receiving hole(s);
an inner annular part located at an inner circumference of the connection portion and engaged with the engagement portion(s), wherein a recess is jointly delimited by the inner annular part, the connection portion and the outer annular part;
wherein the recess of the housing is axially opposite to the protrusion of the button body and is used for guiding the protrusion to be moved toward the recess in the axial direction.
9. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the shaft of the button body is engaged to the engagement portion(s) of the baseplate in an anti-rotation way by mating a first groove with a first protruded rib.
10. The assembled panel assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the shaft of the button body and a button cover are engaged with each other in an anti-rotation way at a side of the button body where the head of the button body is located by mating a second groove with a second protruded rib.
