Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an induction faucet in a sanitary ware, in particular to a screw-in quick-installation hidden induction faucet. Background Art

[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly higher expectations for the appearance and functionality of faucets. As intelligent sanitary ware, sensor faucets have become a popular choice among consumers. To save installation space and enhance aesthetics, wall-mounted sensor faucets typically adopt a concealed installation structure, where the faucet's water inlet pipe and other components are installed within the wall. Most existing concealed sensor faucets are directly fixed to a pre-embedded box or mounting base embedded in the wall using connectors such as screws or bolts. Specifically, the connector is directly fixed to the rear of the faucet. For extended faucets, the entire faucet is connected by only one or two axial screws at the rear. The water outlet on the exterior of the wall is relatively long. If external forces act on the top of the outlet during use, the faucet and its connector can easily become detached from the embedded box or twisted, compromising safety and shortening its service life. If the faucet malfunctions or needs to be replaced with this installation method, the entire faucet must be removed using tools, which is complex and requires a high level of expertise, causing significant inconvenience and confusion for users.
