At least the first pipe joint 21 is movably connected to the first connection end 11 or the second pipe joint 31 is movably connected to the second connection end 12.

It should be noted that a movable connection is understood to mean a rotatable connection and/or a slidable connection.

That is, in one example, the first chamber pipe section 2 is rotationally connected to the valve body 1 or slidingly connected to the valve body 1 via a first pipe connection 21, or both rotationally and slidingly connected to the valve body 1, while the second chamber pipe section 3 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1 via a second pipe connection 31.

In one example, the second chamber pipe section 3 is connected to the valve body 1 by a second pipe connection 31 in a rotatable manner, or is connected to the valve body 1 in a sliding manner, or is connected to the valve body 1 in a rotatable manner and in a sliding manner at the same time, while the first chamber pipe section 2 is connected to the valve body 1 by a first pipe connection 21 in a fixed manner.

In one example, the first chamber pipe section 2 is rotationally connected to the valve body 1, or slidingly connected to the valve body 1, or both rotationally and slidingly connected to the valve body 1, via a first pipe connection 21. And the second chamber section 3 is connected with the valve body 1 by a second pipe joint 31 in a rotating manner, or is connected with the valve body 1 in a sliding manner, or is connected with the valve body 1 in a rotating manner and in a sliding manner.

First cavity pipeline section or second cavity pipeline section of this application embodiment because can be connected with valve body movably, consequently first cavity pipeline section or second cavity pipeline section can move about relatively the valve body, when thermostatic valve subassembly and other devices assemble, can compensate the assembly error when being connected with other devices through the position control of first cavity pipeline section or second cavity pipeline section.

In one embodiment, the first connection end 11 is provided with a first insertion hole 111 on an outer side wall thereof. The first chamber pipe section 2 has a first pipe joint 21 inserted in the first connection end 11, a groove 211 is provided on an outer side wall of the first pipe joint 21, and a first fastening member 22 is inserted in the first insertion hole 111 and extends to the groove 211.

In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first insertion hole 111 on the outer side wall of the first connection end 11, and providing the groove 211 on the outer side wall of the first pipe joint 21, when the first pipe joint 21 is inserted into the first connection end 11, the position of the groove 211 corresponds to the position of the insertion hole, and the first pipe joint 21 is inserted into the first insertion hole 111 and extends to the groove 211 by the first fastening member 22, so that the first pipe joint 21 is limited to be inserted into the first connection end 11, and the first pipe joint 21 does not fall off the first connection end 11, thereby realizing the stable connection of the first cavity pipe section 2 and the valve body 1. The structure of the first fastening member 22 may be selected and adjusted as needed as long as it can be inserted from the first insertion hole 111 and extend into the groove 211.

It should be noted that the first connection end 11 in the embodiment of the present application may be a connection end made of a metal material such as copper or stainless steel. The first insertion hole 111 may be integrally formed with the first connection end 11.

In the embodiment of the present application, the groove 211 formed on the first pipe joint 21 may be a circular groove surrounding the first pipe joint 21, or may be a non-circular groove, such as a square groove, formed corresponding to the position of the first insertion hole 111. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shape of the groove 211 as long as the first fastening member 22 can be inserted into the groove 211 through the insertion hole. The annular groove is designed such that the first pipe connection 21 can be rotated relative to the first connection end 11. The first coupling 21 is also able to slide axially with respect to the first connection end 11 if the width of the annular groove is greater than the width of the first fastening member 22. Rather than a circular groove, the groove 211 is inserted with the groove aligned with the location of the first receptacle 111. The non-annular groove 211 is designed to define a radial direction of the first coupling 21 after the first fastening member 22 is inserted, preventing the first coupling 21 from rotating. The number of the first insertion holes 111 may be one or plural. In the case where the number of the first insertion holes 111 is plural, the number of the grooves 211 needs to be provided corresponding to the number of the first insertion holes 111 if the grooves 211 are non-annular grooves.

In one embodiment, a second receptacle 121 is provided on an outer side wall of the second connection end 12. And a second cavity pipe section 3 having a second pipe joint 31 inserted into the second connection end 12, the second pipe joint 31 being provided with a ring groove 311 on an outer side wall thereof in a circumferential direction, and a second fastening member 32 inserted into the second insertion hole 121 and extending to the ring groove 311 so that the second pipe joint 31 is rotatably inserted into the second connection end 12.

The outer side wall of the second pipe joint 31 is provided with a circumferential annular groove 311, and the second fastening member 32 is inserted into the second insertion hole 121 and then inserted into the annular groove 311. The design of the annular groove 311 on the outer side wall of the second pipe joint 31 can ensure that the second fastening piece 32 can be conveniently inserted into the annular groove 311 after being inserted into the second insertion hole 121, and the installation is quicker. The number of the second insertion holes 121 may be one or more. The number of the annular grooves 311 may be one or more, and in the case that the number of the annular grooves 311 is plural, the annular groove 311 corresponding to the second insertion hole 121 may be selected to be inserted after the second fastening member 32 is inserted into the second insertion hole 121, so that the relative position of the second pipe joint 31 and the second connection end 12 may be adjusted. The annular groove 311 allows the second pipe joint 31 to rotate relative to the second connection end 12. The second pipe joint 31 is also capable of sliding axially relative to the second connection end 12 if the width of the annular groove 311 is greater than the width of the second fastening member 32.

In one example, the groove 211 provided on the first pipe joint 21 in the embodiment of the present application is a square groove, and the annular groove 311 provided on the second pipe joint 31.

The second pipe joint 31 of the second cavity pipe section 3 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with the annular groove 311, and the annular groove 311 is inserted into the second insertion hole 121 of the valve body 1 through the second fastening member 32, so that the second cavity pipe section 3 can rotate relative to the valve body 1, and when the thermostatic valve assembly 100 is assembled with other devices, the assembly error when the thermostatic valve assembly is connected with other devices can be compensated by adjusting the axial position of the second cavity pipe section 3.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first cavity pipe section 2 and the second cavity pipe section 3 are movably connected to the valve body 1 respectively to form a structure of the thermostatic valve assembly 100. Specifically, the first cavity pipe section 2 is communicated with a first connecting end 11 of the valve body 1, the second cavity pipe section 3 is communicated with a second connecting end 12 of the valve body 1, and the valve body 1 can control the connection and disconnection between the first cavity pipe section 2 and the second cavity pipe section 3. The mode of communicating the first cavity pipe section 2 with the first connecting end 11 of the valve body 1 and the mode of communicating the second cavity pipe section 3 with the second connecting end 12 of the valve body 1 may be the same or different.

In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the outer sidewall of the first connection end 11 are provided with first insertion holes 111, the opposite sides of the outer sidewall of the first pipe joint 21 are provided with grooves 211, the first fastening member 22 has two first insertion arms 221 arranged at intervals, and the two first insertion arms 221 are respectively inserted into one first insertion hole 111.

The first insertion hole 111 may be a circular hole, a square hole, or a hole with any other shape, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. In the case where the first insertion hole 111 is a square hole, the longitudinal direction of the square hole is parallel to the radial direction of the first pipe joint 21. The first insertion hole 111 may extend through the entire first connection end 11, that is, through two opposite side walls of the first connection end 11; or may be a side wall extending through the first connection end 11.

In one example, the spacing of the two first plugging arms 221 is greater than or equal to the spacing of the two first insertion holes 111. After the two first inserting arms 221 are inserted into the two first inserting holes 111, the outward tension is exerted, and the fastening effect is realized.

In one example, the lengths of the two first plugging arms 221 may be different, that is, one of the two first plugging arms 221 has a longer length and the other has a shorter length. In the case of inserting the first fastening member 22 into the oppositely disposed first insertion holes 111, the longer one of the first insertion arms 221 may be inserted into one of the first insertion holes 111 first, and in the case that the shorter one of the first insertion arms 221 is close to the other one of the first insertion holes 111, the longer one of the first insertion arms 221 may be rotated to align the shorter one of the first insertion arms 221 with the other one of the first insertion holes 111, so as to facilitate the insertion of the first insertion arm 221 into the first insertion hole 111. It can be understood that, in the case where the two first plugging arms 221 have the same length, it is necessary to align the two first plugging arms 221 with the two first insertion holes 111 at the same time and then insert them, which requires a long time for alignment.

In one embodiment, the first fastening member 22 may further include a first connecting rod 222 for connecting the two first insertion arms 221. In one example, the shape of the first connecting rod 222 matches the shape of the first connecting end 11, so that the first fastening member 22 is inserted into the first connecting end 11 to fit over the first connecting end 11, thereby reducing the protrusion structure. In one example, the first connection rod 222 is shaped as a straight rod or a rod having a convex shape such that the first connection rod 222 does not completely fit over the first connection end 11 with the first fastener 22 inserted into the first connection end 11. Under the condition that the first fastening piece 22 needs to be disassembled, the handheld protruding part can be conveniently pulled out, and the disassembling and assembling speed is improved. In an example, in the case that the shape of the first connecting rod 222 matches with the external shape of the first connecting end 11, the first fastening member 22 can be pulled out and quickly detached by holding the first connecting rod 222 by a hand by setting the appropriate length of the two first plugging arms 221.

In one example, the two first plugging arms 221 may be independent of each other, i.e., the two first plugging arms 221 are not connected to each other. In the case of assembling the pipes, the two first insertion arms 221 are inserted into the first insertion holes 111, respectively. A member for preventing the first insertion arm 221 from coming out of the first insertion hole 111 may be provided on the first insertion arm 221 or on the first insertion hole 111 or in the first connection end 11.

In one example, the trench 211 is a square trench 211, i.e., the bottom of the trench 211 is flush and square. In the embodiment of the present application, the grooves 211 are formed on two opposite sides of the outer side wall of the first pipe joint 21, and the two first plugging walls of the first fastening member 22 are respectively inserted into the two grooves 211 after being inserted into the first plugging hole 111. The two grooves 211 are disposed corresponding to the two first insertion holes 111.

In one embodiment, the second insertion holes 121 are disposed on opposite sides of the outer sidewall of the second connection end 12, and the second fastening member 32 has two second insertion arms 321 disposed at intervals, and the two second insertion arms 321 are respectively inserted into one second insertion hole 121.

The shape structure of the second insertion hole 121 may be the same as that of the first insertion hole 111. The second fastener 32 may be shaped and configured the same as the first fastener 22. In one example, the second fastener 32 may further include a second connecting rod 322 for connecting the two second inserting arms 321.

In one embodiment, the two first insertion arms 221 are disposed at an angle between 3 ° and 20 °. After the two first plugging arms 221 are plugged into the first plugging holes 111, the two first plugging arms have outward tension, and the fastening effect is further realized.

In one embodiment, the two first plugging arms 221 are horizontally disposed. And after the two first inserting arms 221 are inserted into the first inserting holes 111, they are horizontally and fixedly connected with the valve body 1. That is, the plane of the first insertion arm 221 is parallel to or coplanar with the plane of the valve body 1.

In one embodiment, the two second insertion arms 321 are disposed at an angle between 3 ° and 20 °. So that the two second inserting arms 321 have outward tension after being inserted into the second inserting holes 121, and further achieve the fastening effect.

In one embodiment, the groove width of the annular groove 311 is greater than the aperture diameter of the second insertion hole 121. As shown in fig. 3, the second insertion arm 321 is inserted into the annular groove 311 through the second insertion hole 121. The width of the annular groove 311 is larger than the aperture of the second insertion hole 121. The second insertion arm 321 is inserted into the second insertion hole 121, and it can be known that the outer diameter of the second insertion arm 321 is smaller than the width of the annular groove 311. Under the condition that the outer diameter of the second inserting arm 321 is smaller than the width of the annular groove 311, the second pipe joint 31 is defined in the second connecting end 12 through the second inserting arm 321, so that the second pipe joint 31 has a moving space in the axial direction in the second connecting end 12, the connecting position of the second pipe joint 31 and the second connecting end 12 can be adjusted, and the assembly with other devices can be conveniently realized under the condition that the position of a water pipe of other devices (such as a water heater) needing to be connected has an error.

In one example, the first pipe joint 21 and/or the second pipe joint 31 may further have a sealing groove 212, and the sealing groove 212 has a sealing member 23. The number of the sealing grooves 212 may be one or more. The shape and structure of the sealing groove 212 and the sealing member 23 of the first pipe joint 21 and the second pipe joint 31 are the same. As an example, the sealing groove 212 of the first pipe joint 21 is inserted into the first connection end 11 after the sealing member 23 is fitted in the inner sleeve, the groove 211 is aligned with the position of the first insertion hole 111, and the first fastening member 22 is inserted into the first insertion hole 111 and the groove 211. With the sealing member 23 fitted in the sealing groove 212, the first pipe joint 21 is in interference fit with the first connection end 11, so as to achieve the sealing connection between the first pipe joint 21 and the first connection end 11. The first fastening member 22 fixes the first pipe joint 21 in the first connection end 11.

In one embodiment, the first and second fasteners 22, 32 are made of a spring steel material. In one aspect, the first fastening member 22 and the second fastening member 32 can be inserted into the first insertion hole 111 or the second insertion hole 121 with outward tension, so as to further achieve the fastening effect. On the other hand, the spring steel has higher tensile strength, elastic limit and high fatigue strength, so that the spring steel still does not deform under long-term alternating stress, and the service life of a pipeline system is prolonged.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in one embodiment, a third pipe fitting 24 and a fourth pipe fitting 34 are also included; one end of the third pipe joint 24 is connected with the first cavity pipe section 2, and the outer edge of the aperture at the other end of the third pipe joint 24 is provided with a first boss 241; one end of the fourth pipe joint 34 is connected with the second cavity pipe section 3, and a second boss is arranged on the outer edge of the aperture at the other end of the fourth pipe joint 34.

The first cavity pipe section 2 is fixedly connected with a liner water nozzle 601 of the water heater through a third pipe joint 24, and the second cavity pipe section 3 is fixedly connected with the liner water nozzle 601 of the water heater through a fourth pipe joint 34. The shape structure of the third pipe joint 24 may be the same as that of the fourth pipe joint 34. As an example, the third pipe connector 24 is locked with the liner water nozzle 601 through a nut 26, and a sealing gasket 25 is arranged between the third pipe connector 24 and the liner water nozzle 601. Under the condition that nut 26 is locked gradually, can take place to warp when sealing washer 25 receives the extrusion seal and extrude to inner bag water injection well choke 601 inside, this application embodiment is through setting up first boss 241 on third coupling 24, and sealing washer 25 overlaps on first boss 241, can prevent that sealing washer 25 from receiving extrusion under the circumstances extrusion inner bag water injection well choke 601.

As shown in fig. 6, as an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, the present embodiment provides a water heater including: a water heater body 600 and a thermostatic valve assembly 100 of any of the embodiments described above.

The water heater body 600 has a water delivery pipeline. The first and second cavity sections 2 and 3 of the thermostatic valve assembly 100 are in communication with a water conveying line. The water conveying pipeline comprises a water inlet and a water outlet, and the first cavity pipe section 2 and the second cavity pipe section 3 are respectively communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet. In one example, the third pipe connection 24 of the first chamber pipe section 2 is connected to the water inlet of the water heater, and the fourth pipe connection 34 of the second chamber pipe section 3 is connected to the water outlet of the water heater. In order to realize the functions of the water heater, the first cavity pipe section 2 and the second cavity pipe section 3 further include other pipe joints for connecting external pipelines, for example, the first cavity pipe section 2 further needs to be connected with a tap water pipe to provide inlet water for hot water, and the second cavity pipe section 3 further needs to be connected with a water outlet pipe to provide the hot water flowing in from the water outlet of the water heater for users to use.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in one example, when the thermostatic valve assembly 100 is installed in the water heater body 600, the first cavity pipe section 2 may be first communicated with the water inlet 602 of the water heater body 600, and then the valve body 1 and the second cavity pipe section 3 are sequentially communicated. In the case of a position error of the water pipe connector 602 of the water heater body 600, for example, the position B is an accurate position of the water pipe connector 602, and in the case of the position a (the water pipe connector 602 is tilted forward) or the position C (the water pipe connector 602 is tilted backward), the installation is not affected by the connection of the thermostatic valve assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application and the water heater body 600.

In one example, the water heater may be a gas water heater or an electric water heater.
