A mounting structure for a faucet body and a shaft includes a faucet body made of a zinc alloy material, a shaft seat assembly, a shaft and a press cover. The faucet body has a vertical passage and a mounting passage. The shaft seat assembly is disposed separately from the faucet body. The shaft seat assembly includes a shaft seat located in the vertical passage and a sleeve located in the mounting passage. The shaft is inserted in the sleeve and located between the press cover and the shaft seat. The mounting structure can reduce the material cost of the faucet body and ensure the water quality and the strength of the faucet body.

The present invention relates to a faucet, and more particularly to a mounting structure for a faucet body and a shaft.
A conventional kitchen faucet comprises a faucet body, a water inlet pipe, a secondary water outlet pipe, a shaft, a press cover, a handle, and a water outlet pipe. Wherein, the faucet body is formed with a vertical passage and a shaft mounting passage communicating with the vertical passage. The vertical passage has an upper opening and a lower opening. The shaft mounting passage is integrally formed with a shaft seat. The shaft is mounted in the shaft mounting passage through the press cover and mated with the shaft seat to form a complete waterway control switch. The handle cooperates with the axle of the shaft to control rotation of the shaft. The water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are respectively mated with a water inlet and a water outlet of the shaft seat.
Since the shaft seat of the faucet body of the above-mentioned kitchen faucet is in contact with water and the shaft seat is integrally formed with the faucet body, in order to ensure the safety of the water and the strength of the faucet body, the faucet body is generally made of a copper alloy material or a copper material with low lead content. As a result, the material cost of the faucet body is high, which is not beneficial for marketing.
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the faucet body of the present invention, and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the present invention discloses a mounting structure for a faucet body and a shaft, which comprises a faucet body 1, a shaft seat assembly 2 mounted in the faucet body 1, a shaft 3 and a press cover 4 mounted to the shaft seat assembly 2.
As shown in FIG. 2, the faucet body 1 is made of a zinc alloy material. The faucet body 1 is formed with a vertical passage 11 and a mounting passage 12 communicating with the vertical passage 11. The vertical passage 11 has an upper opening 111 and a lower opening 112. An inner end of the mounting passage 12 is communicated with the vertical passage 11. An outer end of the mounting passage 12 has an opening 121. An inner wall of the mounting passage 12 is formed with an annular stop rim 122. The annular stop rim 122 is provided with at least two screw holes 1221 extending in the axial direction of the mounting passage 12 for insertion of screws 5. The number of the screw holes 1221 may be three. The three screw holes 1221 are equidistantly arranged on the annular stop rim 122.
