Abstract

A wall-mounted faucet control component includes a control handle, a conversion block and a restricting device, wherein two spaced protruding ribs are located at the periphery of the opening of a receiving space of the control handle, and a connecting pole is protrudingly formed at the center of the opening surface of the receiving space. The conversion block is located at the receiving space of the control handle, wherein two recessed slots are spacedly and recessedly formed at the periphery of the conversion block, and the recessed slots are engaged with the protruding ribs of the control handle. According to the abovementioned structure, since the detachable conversion block is formed at the receiving space of the control handle, it can be used for water control bases of different sizes to increase the practicability of the faucet handle and increase the convenience in assembly process.

Claims

1. A wall-mounted faucet control device including:

a control handle, one side of which recessedly forms a receiving space having two protruding ribs spacedly located at the periphery of an opening of the receiving space, and a connecting pole is protrudingly formed at the center of the receiving space, wherein a plugging slot is protrudingly formed near the connecting pole, and the other side of the control handle has a through hole that connects through the plugging slot and receives a locking unit;

a conversion block located at the receiving space of the control handle, wherein two recessed slots are recessedly and spacedly formed at the periphery of the conversion block and the recessed slots are engaged with the protruding ribs of the control handle; and

a restricting device, which is located at the receiving space of the control handle, having a sleeve and a restricting unit, wherein the sleeve has a wedging rib protrudingly formed at the outer periphery of the sleeve, and an inner gear ring at the inner periphery of the sleeve, and an outer gear ring is formed at the periphery of one end of the restricting unit and engaged with the inner gear ring, wherein the other end of the restricting unit has a supporting surface expandably against the opening end of the sleeve, and a stopping block is protrudingly formed at the periphery of the supporting surface, and the stopping block is configured to be against the protruding ribs.

2. The wall-mounted faucet control device of claim 1, wherein the receiving space has a plurality of positioning holes through an opening surface of the receiving space, and one side of the conversion block protrudingly forms a plurality of positioning poles which are used to plug into the positioning holes of the control handle.

3. The wall-mounted faucet control device of claim 1, wherein the plugging slot receives a gasket.

4. The wall-mounted faucet control device of claim 1, wherein a trough is protrudingly formed at the other end of the control handle, and the through hole is located at an opening surface of the trough, and the trough receives a cover.

5. The wall-mounted faucet control device of claim 1, wherein an anti-loosening gasket is disposed between the locking unit and the through hole.
