Modular sensor activated faucet

A modular sensor activated faucet assembly provides a spout that can be coupled and removed from its mounting base quickly and easily for installation and service. A water tight connection can be established between the mounting base and the spout without the use of tools or additional mechanical connections, thus allowing the spout to be installed by simply plugging into its base. A seamless spout construction defining a hollow interior bifurcated by integral internal wall structure provides a wet chamber between its mounting end and the outlet and a flow pipe inside the spout. The modular base provides a cooperating flow pipe. When the spout is mounted onto the base, the flow pipes are configured to nest together in close relation such that one or more seals can be disposed between the flow pipes to provide a water tight seal between the spout and base.

A faucet body without compartment is disclosed. The faucet body is casted and forged integrally with an upright tubular shell, and the upper portion of shell comprises a thread segment. A first annular convex and a second annular convex are formed at a lower portion of the thread segment, and a flow space is formed between the first annular convex and the second annular convex. Below the second annular convex, At least a first bearing base, a second bearing base and a support block extend from the second annular convex. The first bearing base, second bearing base and support block are connected by a protruding shoulder to support the fined ceramic valve in the faucet body. An outlet conduit extends forward from a periphery of top of the shell, and an outlet channel is formed inside the outlet conduit to connect to the flow space of the shell.

SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
