[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting elastic member 30 is a spring, which is sleeved outside the inner ring 22 of the base, and the lower gasket 60 is provided with a positioning groove 61 with an opening at the bottom end, and the top end of the spring extends into the positioning groove 61, and the bottom end of the spring presses against the bottom wall of the rotating chamber 21. In this way, the space E between the bottom end of the lower gasket 60 and the top end of the adjusting elastic member 30 is also the space E between the top wall of the positioning groove 61 and the top end of the adjusting elastic member 30.

[0045] In this embodiment, the kitchen faucet structure further includes an upper gasket 70, the top surface of the rotating sleeve 40 is provided with a limiting step 41, the upper gasket 70 is sleeved on the rotating groove 11 and its top surface abuts against the top wall of the rotating groove 11, and its bottom end abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting step 41. Figure 3 As shown, there is zero gap B between the top end surface of the upper gasket and the top wall of the rotating groove, and there is zero gap C between the bottom end surface of the upper gasket 70 and the bottom surface of the limiting step 41, that is, the consistency of the gaps B and C can be maintained, further ensuring the stability of the rotating feel.

[0046] In this embodiment, the height of the upper gasket 70 is higher than the height of the limiting step 41, and the height difference A between the upper gasket 70 and the limiting step 41 is the gap between the top wall of the rotating groove 11 and the top surface of the rotating sleeve 40. The height difference A can meet the aesthetic requirements of the product.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lower gasket 60 and the upper gasket 70 are both made of self-lubricating material that can reduce the noise during the rotation of the rotating sleeve 40 .

[0048] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , which is the second preferred embodiment of the kitchen faucet structure.

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this embodiment, the adjusting elastic member 30 is an O-ring, the bottom end surface of the lower gasket 60 is a flat surface, the top end of the O-ring presses against the bottom end surface of the lower gasket 60, and the bottom end of the O-ring presses against the bottom wall of the rotating chamber 21. Figure 7 As shown, the distance E between the bottom end of the lower gasket 60 and the top end of the adjusting elastic member 30 is also the distance E between the bottom end surface of the lower gasket 60 and the top end of the O-ring.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
