Water-temperature-independent faucet

Abstract

An water-temperature-independent faucet includes a thermal-insulation core containing therein a water inlet and a water outlet, and being laterally formed with a socket that is communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet; a control valve deposited in the socket for selectively communicating the water inlet with the water outlet; a housing defining therein an accommodating space for receiving the thermal-insulation core; and an inlet conduit having one end fittingly engaged with the water inlet through an O-ring.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A water-temperature-independent faucet, comprising:
 a thermal-insulation core containing therein a water inlet and a water outlet, and being laterally formed with a socket that is communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet, respectively;   a control valve deposited in the socket for selectively communicating the water inlet with the water outlet;   a housing defining therein an accommodating space for receiving the thermal-insulation core; and   an inlet conduit having one end fittingly engaged with the water inlet through an O-ring.   
     
     
         2 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 1 , wherein the water inlet has an inner periphery formed with an annular groove for receiving the O-ring mounted around the end of the inlet conduit. 
     
     
         3 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 2 , wherein the inlet conduit is made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         4 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 3 , wherein the inlet conduit has an outer periphery formed with at least one external thread. 
     
     
         5 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal-insulation core has an outer periphery formed with a plurality of ribs. 
     
     
         6 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 1 , wherein the control valve has a connecting channel configured to connect the water inlet and the water outlet, and connecting channel is formed at an eccentric point in a cross-section of the control valve. 
     
     
         7 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 6 , wherein the housing includes a knob that is configured to be rotate in order to drive the control valve to make the connecting channel selectively connect the water inlet and the water outlet. 
     
     
         8 . The water-temperature-independent faucet of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal-insulation core is made of polyoxymethylene (POM).
