Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom equipment, and particularly to a weight and bathroom equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Existing faucet products typically have a hose connected to them, which delivers water to the faucet. A counterweight mechanism is used in pull-out faucets to automatically return the hose to its original position under the force of gravity. However, the counterweight creates resistance when pulling the faucet, and the perceived resistance varies from person to person.
[0003] In order for the faucet hose to retract smoothly, the weight of the commonly used weights on the market is relatively fixed so that the faucet is always under tension. However, this cannot meet the different pull force requirements of different people. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a weighted hammer that aims to solve the problem of the relatively fixed weight of existing weighted hammers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a counterweight for pulling a faucet, the faucet having a water pipe, the counterweight comprising:
[0006] The first counterweight unit has a first hollow portion for accommodating the water pipe; the first counterweight unit has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along the axial direction.
[0007] A second counterweight unit, the second counterweight unit having a second hollow portion for accommodating the water pipe; the second counterweight unit is provided at a first end and / or a second end of the first counterweight unit; and
[0008] A fixing component is provided, which is fixedly connected to the first counterweight unit and is also detachably connected to the second counterweight unit.
[0009] In some examples, the second counterweight unit includes:
[0010] A first counterweight, wherein the fixing component is detachably connected to the first counterweight; and
[0011] The second counterweight is disposed opposite to the first counterweight and the second counterweight, and the first counterweight and the second counterweight together form the second hollow part; the second counterweight is detachably connected to the fixing component.
[0012] In some examples, the fixing component includes:
[0013] A housing having a first cavity and a third hollow portion for accommodating the water pipe; a first counterweight unit disposed in the first cavity and fixedly connected to the housing; and
[0014] The first connector is fixedly connected to the housing and is also detachably connected to the second counterweight unit.
[0015] In some examples, both the second counterweight unit and the first connector are located in the first cavity.
[0016] In some examples, the housing also forms a second cavity, and the housing has an opening that connects the second cavity and the outside of the housing; the second counterweight unit is disposed in the second cavity.
[0017] In some examples, the second cavity has a bottom surface that is disposed opposite to the opening; the first connector is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second cavity.
[0018] In some examples, the first connector is a protruding post on the surface of the housing, and the second counterweight unit has a slot corresponding to the position of the first connector, in which the first connector is embedded.
[0019] In some examples, the housing includes:
[0020] First shell; and
[0021] A second housing is disposed opposite to the first housing and is detachably connected to the first housing; a first cavity is formed between the first housing and the second housing; the first connecting member is provided on the first housing and / or the second housing.
[0022] In some examples, the housing also includes:
[0023] A first connecting protrusion is fixedly connected to the first housing, and a first connecting portion is provided on the first connecting protrusion; a first limiting portion is provided on the second housing corresponding to the position of the first connecting protrusion, and the first connecting portion and the first limiting portion are detachably connected; the number of the first connecting portion and / or the first limiting portion is at least two.
[0024] In some examples, the first connecting protrusion extends circumferentially along the second housing; the first limiting portion includes:
[0025] A first limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the second housing and extends towards the first housing. A first deformation space is formed between the free end of the first limiting protrusion and the outer wall surface of the second housing.
[0026] The first limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the first limiting protrusion; the number of the first connecting part and / or the first limiting protrusion is at least two, and the first connecting part is detachably connected to the first limiting protrusion.
[0027] In some examples, the second housing is recessed with a first limiting groove, the first limiting groove having a bottom wall facing the outside of the second housing; the free end of the first limiting protrusion is located in the first limiting groove, and the first deformation space is formed between the free end of the first limiting protrusion and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove; the free end of the first connecting protrusion is embedded in the first limiting groove.

The first base plate is also fixedly connected to the second housing. The first base plate and the two first side plates enclose and form the first limiting groove. The first base plate has a bottom wall facing the outside of the second housing.
[0031] In some examples, the first housing has an opening facing the second housing, and the second housing has an opening facing the first housing. When the openings of the first housing and the openings of the second housing are in contact with each other, the end of the first base plate away from the second housing abuts against the inner wall of the first housing.
[0032] In some examples, the first counterweight unit has a clearance groove, and the first base plate is embedded in the clearance groove.
[0033] In some examples, the first housing and the second housing are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner with the axis of the first cavity as the center.
[0034] In some examples, the fixing component also includes:
[0035] The second connector is located in the first cavity and is fixedly connected to the housing. The second connector is also detachably connected to the first counterweight.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 This invention proposes a counterweight for a pull-out faucet. The pull-out faucet has a faucet (not shown) and a water pipe 10, wherein the water pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the faucet to supply water. The counterweight is also fixedly connected to the water pipe 10. When the user pulls the faucet outward, the water pipe 10 moves with the faucet, and under the gravity of the counterweight, the user can feel a force in the opposite direction. When the user releases the faucet, under the gravity of the counterweight, the water pipe 10 moves in the opposite direction, causing the faucet to move synchronously, so that the faucet returns to its original position.
[0066] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some examples, the weight includes a first counterweight unit 30, a second counterweight unit 40, and a fixing component. The first counterweight unit 30 is fixedly connected to the fixing component and has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along its axial direction. The second counterweight unit 40 is detachably connected to the fixing component. Taking a lighter weight required by the user as an example, the second counterweight unit 40 can be removed from the fixing component, leaving only the first counterweight unit 30 as the weight of the weight. In some examples, after the second counterweight unit 40 is removed, it can be replaced with a lighter counterweight structure, for example, replacing a copper counterweight structure with an iron counterweight structure. Because the second counterweight unit 40 is detachably connected to the fixing component, it can be removed when needed, or replaced with a lighter counterweight structure, thereby reducing the weight of the weight of the weight as required.
[0067] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first hollow portion 31 for accommodating the water pipe 10, and when the first counterweight unit 30 is installed, the water pipe 10 is snapped into the first hollow portion 31.
[0068] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6When manufacturing the first counterweight 41, a first counterweight unit 30 of a corresponding shape can be selected as needed. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 includes a third counterweight block 32 and a fourth counterweight block 33, wherein the third counterweight block 32 and the fourth counterweight block 33 are disposed opposite to each other, forming a first hollow portion 31 between the third counterweight block 32 and the fourth counterweight block 33. When the third counterweight block 32 and the fourth counterweight block 33 are fixedly connected to the fixing component, the third counterweight block 32 and the fourth counterweight block 33 abut against each other to form the first hollow portion 31. In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a generally cylindrical structure, and a mounting groove is formed on the side wall of the first counterweight unit 30. The mounting groove extends radially from the outer wall of the first counterweight unit 30 toward the axis of the first counterweight unit 30 to form the first hollow portion 31. To prevent unnecessary displacement of the first counterweight unit 30, in some examples, anti-slip components, such as elastomers, are provided on the first counterweight unit 30 to increase the friction between the first counterweight unit 30 and the water pipe 10, thereby preventing the first counterweight unit 30 from moving relative to the water pipe 10.
[0069] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8 In some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 has a second hollow portion 43 for accommodating the water pipe 10, and when installing the second counterweight unit 40, the water pipe 10 is snapped into the second hollow portion 43. See also... Figure 3 and Figure 6 The positions of the first hollow part 31 and the second hollow part 43 correspond so that the water pipe 10 can be fixed on the counterweight along a preset direction.
[0070] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 When manufacturing the second counterweight 42, a second counterweight unit 40 of a corresponding shape can be selected as needed. The shape of the second counterweight unit 40 can be the same as that of the first counterweight unit 30, or a counterweight structure with a different shape from the first counterweight unit 30 can be selected as the second counterweight unit 40. Please refer to... Figure 7 In some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 includes a first counterweight block 41 and a second counterweight block 42, wherein the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 are arranged opposite to each other, and a second hollow portion 43 is formed between the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42. When the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 are fixedly connected to the fixing component, the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 are connected to each other, and the second hollow portion 43 is formed at the same time.
[0071] In some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 is generally cylindrical, and a mounting groove is formed on its side wall. The mounting groove extends radially from the outer wall of the second counterweight unit 40 towards its axis to form a second hollow portion 43. In some examples, the axial cross-section of the second counterweight unit 40 is generally trapezoidal, wherein the base of the trapezoid may face the first counterweight unit 30. To prevent unnecessary displacement of the second counterweight unit 40, in some examples, anti-slip components, such as elastomers, are provided on the second counterweight unit 40 to increase the friction between the second counterweight unit 40 and the water pipe 10, preventing the second counterweight unit 40 from moving relative to the water pipe 10.
[0072] In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first end and a second end disposed along its axial direction, and a second counterweight unit 40 is disposed at the first end of the first counterweight unit 30. When needed, the second counterweight unit 40 can be detached from the first end of the first counterweight unit 30, or replaced with a second counterweight unit 40 of a different weight.
[0073] In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first end and a second end disposed along its axial direction, and a second counterweight unit 40 is disposed at the second end of the first counterweight unit 30.
[0074] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first end and a second end arranged along its axial direction, and a second counterweight unit 40 is provided at the first end and the second end of the first counterweight unit 30 respectively, so as to facilitate disassembly or replacement as needed.
[0075] A second counterweight unit 40 is provided at the first and / or second ends of the first counterweight unit 30 along the axial direction. When the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 are installed on the water pipe 10, the second counterweight unit 40 exerts a force on the water pipe 10 at the first and / or second ends of the first counterweight unit 30 along the axial direction, so that the force on the water pipe 10 is distributed along its length direction, and the water pipe 10 is prevented from deflecting unnecessarily under the action of the weight.
[0076] In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first end and a second end arranged along its axial direction, and the number of second counterweight units 40 is at least two. The two second counterweight units 40 can both be arranged at the first end or the second end of the first counterweight unit 30, or at least one second counterweight unit 40 can be arranged at the first end and the second end of the first counterweight unit 30 respectively.
[0077] When the first counterweight unit 30 and the second counterweight unit 40 are installed on the water pipe 10, they exert pressure on the water pipe 10. In some examples, a fixing component is used to connect the first counterweight unit 30 and the second counterweight unit 40. When the water pipe 10 is located within the first hollow portion 31, the fixing component secures the first counterweight unit 30 to the water pipe 10 to prevent it from detaching. The fixing component can be selected according to the specific shape of the counterweight. In some examples, the fixing component is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the first counterweight unit 30 to limit its relative position. The second counterweight unit 40 can be snapped into the inner side of the fixing component, or it can be detachably connected to the fixing component using screws or pins. In some examples, the fixing component is a hollow shell structure 20, and both the first counterweight unit 30 and the second counterweight unit 40 can be embedded inside the fixing component. In some examples, the fixing component has a hollow chamber, a first counterweight unit 30 is embedded inside the fixing component, and a second counterweight unit 40 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the fixing component by means of a structure such as screws or pins.
[0078] In some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 includes a first counterweight block 41 and a second counterweight block 42, wherein the fixing component is detachably connected to the first counterweight block 41; the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 enclose a second hollow portion 43; the second counterweight block 42 is connected to the first counterweight block 41. When the second counterweight block 42 is connected to the first counterweight block 41, and it is necessary to reduce the total weight of the hammer, the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 can be removed from the fixing component. Ignoring the influence of the fixing component on the weight of the hammer, the total weight of the hammer is then the weight of the first counterweight unit 30.
[0079] Furthermore, in some examples, unlike the previous example, the second counterweight 42 is connected to the fixing component. When it is necessary to reduce the weight of the hammer, only the first counterweight 41 is removed, and the effect of the fixing component on the weight of the hammer is ignored. In this case, the total weight of the hammer is the sum of the weights of the second counterweight 42 and the first counterweight unit 30. To increase the weight adjustment range of the hammer, in some examples, the second counterweight 42 is detachably connected to the fixing component. When needed, the first counterweight 41 and the second counterweight 42 can be removed simultaneously, and the effect of the fixing component on the weight of the hammer is ignored. In this case, the weight of the hammer is the weight of the first counterweight 41.
[0080] In some examples, the number of second counterweight units 40 is at least two, and the second counterweight unit 40 includes the first counterweight block 41 and the second counterweight block 42 described in the above embodiments. Taking the number of second counterweight units 40 as an example, without considering the influence of the fixing components on the weight of the hammer, the maximum total weight of the hammer is the sum of the weights of the first counterweight unit 30, the two first counterweight blocks 41, and the two second counterweight blocks 42.
[0081] In some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 has a first hollow portion 31, within which the water pipe 10 can be partially housed. When the water pipe 10 is located within the first hollow portion 31, it can move relative to the first hollow portion 31. The second counterweight unit 40 has a second hollow portion 43, within which the water pipe 10 can be partially housed. When the water pipe 10 is located within the second hollow portion 43, it is pressed against the inner wall of the second hollow portion 43, thus fixing the counterweight relative to the water pipe 10 and preventing the counterweight from moving along the length of the water pipe 10.
[0082] When it is necessary to replace the water pipe 10 with a larger diameter, in this example, the current second counterweight unit 40 is disassembled and a second hollow part 43 with a larger inner diameter is selected so that the second counterweight unit 40 can be adapted to the water pipe 10. The relative fixation of the counterweight is achieved through the cooperation between the second counterweight unit 40 and the water pipe 10.
[0083] Please see Figure 2 In some examples, the fixing assembly includes a housing 20 and a first connector 25 fixedly connected to the housing 20. The first connector 25 is for detachable connection to a second counterweight unit 40. The housing 20 has a first cavity 27, and a third hollow portion 29 is formed on the housing 20 for accommodating a water pipe 10, allowing the water pipe 10 to pass through the housing 20. The first counterweight unit 30 is fixedly connected to the housing 20 and is located inside the first cavity 27.
[0084] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 9In some examples, the shape of the first cavity 27 corresponds to the shape of the first counterweight unit 30 to limit the relative movement of the first counterweight unit 30. Further, in some examples, a second connector 26 is provided on the housing 20, which is used to limit the relative position of the first counterweight unit 30 within the first cavity 27. The second connector 26 can be a screw or pin, etc., to connect the second connector 26 to the first counterweight unit 30; the second connector 26 can also be a protrusion or rib protruding into the first cavity 27, abutting against the first counterweight unit 30. To facilitate the limiting of the first counterweight unit 30, further, in some examples, a limiting groove 34 is formed on the first counterweight unit 30, the shape and position of which correspond to the second connector 26, so that the second connector 26 can limit the relative movement of the first counterweight unit 30 within the first cavity 27.
[0085] When installing the second counterweight unit 40, the installation position of the second counterweight unit 40 can be determined according to the specific shape design of the fixing components. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The second counterweight unit 40 and the first connecting member 25 are both located in the first cavity 27. The first connecting member 25 protrudes into the first cavity 27 and is detachably connected to the second counterweight unit 40. Please refer to the following reference. Figure 10 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 In some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 is disposed outside the first cavity 27, and the first connector 25 protrudes outside the first cavity 27 and is detachably connected to the second counterweight unit 40.
[0086] Building upon the previous example, in some examples, the second connector 26 is detachably connected to the first counterweight unit 30. The first counterweight unit 30 has a first hollow portion 31 for accommodating the water pipe 10. When the first counterweight unit 30 is removed from the housing 20, only the second counterweight unit 40 can be used as the counterweight structure for the weight. When the water pipe 10 is placed inside the first hollow portion 31, the inner wall of the first hollow portion 31 presses against the water pipe 10, preventing the weight from moving relative to the water pipe 10. When it is necessary to replace it with a water pipe of a larger diameter, the current first counterweight unit 30 is removed from the housing 20 and replaced with a first counterweight unit 30 having a larger first hollow portion 31, so that the inner wall of the first hollow portion 31 of the replaced first counterweight unit 30 is pressed against the surface of the water pipe 10. When selecting a counterweight, a second counterweight unit 40 with a larger second hollow portion 43 can be selected so that there is a certain margin between the water pipe 10 and the second counterweight unit 40, and the counterweight can be fixed relative to the current water pipe 10 by simply replacing the first counterweight unit 30.
[0087] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14 In some examples, the housing 20 also forms a second cavity 28, and an opening is formed on the housing 20 connecting the second cavity 28 and the outside of the housing 20; the second counterweight unit 40 is disposed in the second cavity 28. The opening on the housing 20 is used to form a channel for the second counterweight unit 40 to enter the second cavity 28. The second connector 26 can be a screw or pin protruding into the second cavity 28; the second connector 26 can be a cover plate fixed at the opening position, restricting the relative movement of the second counterweight block 42 by blocking the path of the second counterweight unit 40 to the outside of the second cavity 28.
[0088] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 Furthermore, in some examples, the second cavity 28 has a bottom surface, which is positioned opposite to the opening; the first connector 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second cavity 28 so that the first connector 25 is located inside the second cavity 28. The first connector 25 can be a protrusion protruding from the bottom surface of the second cavity 28 facing the inner cavity, or it can be a stud protruding from the bottom surface of the second cavity 28 facing the second cavity 28. Furthermore, in some examples, the first connector 25 is a protrusion protruding from the surface of the housing 20, and the second counterweight unit 40 has a slot 44 corresponding to the position of the first connector 25, in which the first connector 25 is embedded. The first connector 25 can be interference-fitted with the slot 44, or an elastic body can be provided in the first connector 25 or the slot 44 to increase the friction between the first connector 25 and the second counterweight unit 40. In some examples, the first connector 25 is a stud protruding from the surface of the housing, and the inner surface of the slot 44 is provided with a threaded surface. The first connector 25 is threadedly engaged with the second counterweight unit 40. Alternatively, the first connector 25 passes through the slot 44, and the free end of the second connector 25 is provided with a nut to fix the second counterweight unit 40 on the first connector 25.
[0089] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 11The fixing assembly includes a housing 20 and a first connector 25. The housing 20 forms a first cavity 27, in which a first counterweight unit 30 is housed and fixedly connected. The housing 20 also forms a third hollow portion 29 for accommodating a water pipe 10. The first connector 25 is fixedly connected to the housing 20 and detachably connected to a second counterweight unit 40. For ease of installation, the housing 20 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22 disposed opposite to the first housing 21. The first cavity 27 is formed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and the first counterweight unit 30 is installed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. Further, in some examples, a second connector 26 is provided on the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22, and the first counterweight unit 30 is fixedly connected to the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22 via the second connector 26. Furthermore, in some examples, a first connector 25 is provided on the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22, and the second counterweight unit 40 is detachably connected to the first connector 25.
[0090] Furthermore, in some examples, the second counterweight unit 40 is installed inside the first cavity 27. After the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are mated together, both the first counterweight unit 30 and the second counterweight unit 40 are confined within the space between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. Furthermore, in some examples, the maximum outer circumferential diameter of the first counterweight unit 30 and the maximum outer circumferential diameter of the second counterweight unit 40 are equal to facilitate the forming and processing of the first cavity 27. In some examples, a second cavity 28 is formed on the first housing 21 and / or the second housing 22. The second cavity 28 has an opening communicating with the outside of the housing 20, and the second counterweight unit 40 is installed inside the second cavity 28.
[0091] When the first counterweight unit 30 needs to be installed, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are opened, and the first counterweight unit 30 is fixed in the first cavity 27 to restrict the relative movement of the first counterweight unit 30. Furthermore, to facilitate the opening and closing of the housing 20, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are detachably connected. During installation, the detachable connection method between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be determined as needed. For example, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be interlocked or connected by screws, or the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be connected by pins or other detachable connection methods.
[0092] The water pipe 10 is installed inside the housing 20 and passes through the first cavity. When manufacturing the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be set as a centrally symmetrical structure with the axis of the water pipe 10 as the center.
[0093] Furthermore, in some examples, one connection method between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is disclosed. Specifically, the housing 20 further includes a first connecting protrusion 23 fixedly connected to the first housing 21, and the second housing 22 is provided with a first limiting part (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the position of the first connecting protrusion 23. The first connecting protrusion 23 is also detachably connected to the first limiting part. The first connecting protrusion 23 protrudes outward from the first housing 21, one end of the first connecting protrusion 23 is fixedly connected to the first housing 21, and the other end is a free end, with the free end of the first connecting protrusion 23 protruding into the second housing 22.
[0094] The first limiting part is provided on the second housing 22. When the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are mated together, the first connecting protrusion 23 is detachably connected to the first limiting part. During installation, the connection method between the first limiting part and the first connecting protrusion 23 can be determined according to factors such as the specific structural thickness, material, and shape of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. For example, the first limiting part and the first connecting protrusion 23 can be connected by screws, pins, or fasteners. Since the first connecting protrusion 23 protrudes from the first housing 21, when the first connecting protrusion 23 and the first limiting part are connected, the first connecting protrusion 23 protruding from the first housing 21 has a certain degree of deformability. When connecting the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, it can be easily adjusted and mated, thus facilitating installation.
[0095] Furthermore, based on the previous example, in some examples, the connection position between the first connecting protrusion 23 and the first limiting part is adjustable. Specifically, the first connecting protrusion 23 is provided with a first connecting part 231, which is detachably connected to the first limiting part; the number of the first connecting part 231 and / or the first limiting part is at least two. The first connecting part 231 and the first limiting part can be detachably connected by interlocking, snap-fitting, pin connection, screw connection, etc. Taking the first limiting part and the first connecting part 231 interlocking as an example, the first limiting part consists of two spaced ribs arranged along the circumference of the second housing 22, and the first connecting part 231 is a protruding rib on the first connecting protrusion 23. When the protruding rib of the first connecting part 231 is interlocked with different ribs of the first limiting part, the relative position of the first connecting part 231 and the second housing 22 will also change. By changing the distance between the two ribs of the first limiting part, the position where the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting part are interlocked can also be changed, thereby adjusting the interlocking position of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.
[0096] When it is necessary to replace the current first counterweight unit 30 with a first counterweight unit 30 having a larger or smaller outer diameter, the relative position of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is adjusted by adjusting the interlocking position of the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting part, so that the outer diameter of the housing 20 is adapted to match the outer diameter of the first counterweight unit 30. The same applies when the second counterweight unit 40 is installed in the first chamber, and will not be described further. When it is necessary to replace the current water pipe 10 with a water pipe of a larger diameter, the distance between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is increased by adjusting the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting part, thereby adapting to the diameter of the water pipe 10.
[0097] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 16 Furthermore, based on the previous example, in some examples, the first connecting protrusion 23 extends circumferentially along the second housing 22, so that the free end of the first connecting protrusion 23 extends to the outside of the second housing 22. The first limiting portion includes a first limiting protrusion 225 and a first limiting protrusion 222, wherein the first limiting protrusion 225 is fixedly connected to the second housing 22 and extends toward the first housing 21, and a first deformation space 226 is formed between the free end of the first limiting protrusion 225 and the outer wall surface of the second housing 22. One end of the first limiting protrusion 225 is fixedly connected to the second housing 22, and the other end of the first limiting protrusion 225 is its free end. The free end of the first limiting protrusion 225 is suspended on the outside of the second housing 22, so that when the free end of the first limiting protrusion 225 is subjected to external pressure, it can deform toward the first deformation space 226. The first limiting protrusion 222 can be disposed on the side of the first limiting protrusion 225 facing away from the first deformation space 226, so that the first limiting protrusion 222 can cooperate with the first connecting part 231. When the first connecting protrusion 23 is placed outside the first limiting protrusion 225, the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting protrusion 222 are detachably connected to each other.
[0098] The first connecting part 231 and the first limiting protrusion 222 can be connected by interlocking, plugging, or other methods. Taking the interlocking of the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting protrusion 222 as an example, when the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are fitted together, the first connecting protrusion 23 squeezes the first limiting protrusion 225, causing the first limiting protrusion 225 to tend to deform towards the first deformation space 226. When the first limiting protrusion 222 and the first connecting part 231 are connected and fixed together, under the action of elastic force, the first limiting protrusion 225 generates a force that pushes the first connecting protrusion 23 outward along the radial direction of the second housing 22, thereby making the connection between the first connecting part 231 and the first limiting protrusion 222 more secure.
[0099] When it is necessary to separate the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 from each other, the first connecting protrusion 23 is pressed towards the second housing 22 so that the first limiting protrusion 222 is disengaged from the first connecting part 231. The first connecting protrusion 23 and the first limiting protrusion 225 are moved in the opposite direction so that the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are disengaged from each other.
[0100] Furthermore, in some examples, the number of the first connecting portion 231 and / or the first limiting protrusion 222 is at least two. When the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are moved toward each other, the first limiting protrusion 225 tends to deform toward the first deformation space 226, so that the relative position of the first connecting portion 231 and the second connecting portion 241 can change. By adjusting the connection position of the first connecting portion 231 and the second connecting portion 241, the width of the gap at the connection between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be adjusted.
[0101] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6 Furthermore, based on the previous example, a first limiting groove 221 is recessed on the second housing 22. The first limiting groove 221 has a bottom wall facing the outer side of the second housing 22. The length direction of the first limiting groove 221 can extend along the circumference of the second housing 22. The free end of the first limiting protrusion 225 is located in the first limiting groove 221. The other end of the first limiting protrusion 225 can be fixed to the second housing 22 or to the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 221. A first deformation space 226 is formed between the free end of the first limiting protrusion 225 and the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 221. When manufacturing the second housing 22, the first limiting protrusion 225 can be entirely located within the first limiting groove 221, such as... Figure 3 In the top view of the weight shown, the first limiting protrusion 225 is not visible. The free end of the first connecting protrusion 23 is embedded in the first limiting groove 221, which restricts the movement of the first connecting protrusion 23 along the axial direction of the housing 20, thereby facilitating the positioning of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. Further, in... Figure 3 In the top view of the hammer shown, the free end of the first connecting protrusion 23 is not visible, so that the first connecting protrusion 23 and the first limiting protrusion 225 are completely located within the first limiting groove 221, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the hammer.
[0102] Furthermore, based on the previous example, to facilitate the formation of the first limiting groove 221, the first limiting part further includes a first side plate 223 and a first bottom plate 224. There are two first side plates 223, which are arranged opposite each other and fixedly connected to the second housing 22. The first bottom plate 224 is located between the two first side plates 223 and fixedly connected to both first side plates 223. The first bottom plate 224 is also fixedly connected to the second housing 22. The first bottom plate 224 and the two first side plates 223 together form the first limiting groove 221. The first bottom plate 224 has a bottom wall facing outwards from the second housing 22. The first side plates 223 and 213 serve as the side walls of the first limiting groove 221, and the first bottom plate 224 forms the bottom wall of the first limiting groove 221. The first limiting protrusion 225 can be fixedly connected to the first bottom plate 224.
[0103] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 10 Furthermore, based on the previous example, in some examples, the first housing 21 has an opening facing the second housing 22, and the second housing 22 has an opening facing the first housing 21. When the openings of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are in contact with each other, the end of the first base plate 224 away from the second housing 22 abuts against the inner wall surface of the first housing 21. The first base plate 224 can be used to define the minimum outer circumferential diameter of the housing 20 formed by the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. When the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are arranged opposite each other, the opening of the first housing 21 is the end face of the first housing 21 facing the second housing 22; the opening of the second housing 22 is the end face of the second housing 22 facing the first housing 21.
[0104] When the opening of the first housing 21 and the opening of the second housing 22 are in contact with each other, the first base plate 224 cooperates with the two first side plates 223 to seal the gap between the openings of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. To prevent the first counterweight unit 30 from shifting, in some examples, the first counterweight unit 30 is provided with a relief groove 35, which corresponds to the position of the first base plate 224, so that the first base plate 224 can be fitted into the relief groove 35 of the first counterweight unit 30, thereby preventing the first counterweight unit 30 from moving axially along the housing 20; at the same time, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 restrict the first counterweight unit 30 from moving radially along the housing 20, thereby keeping the first counterweight unit 30 in a preset position within the housing 20.
[0105] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 10Furthermore, based on the above examples, in some examples, the first housing 21 is provided with at least two first connecting protrusions 23, and the second housing 22 is provided with at least two first limiting parts. Through the cooperation of multiple positions, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are fixed and connected from multiple points. Taking the example of the first housing 21 having two first connecting protrusions 23 and the second housing 22 having two first limiting parts, the two first connecting protrusions 23 are respectively located at both ends of the circumference of the first housing 21, and the two first limiting parts are respectively located at both ends of the circumference of the second housing 22, and their positions correspond one-to-one with the positions of the two first connecting protrusions 23, so that the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are connected and fixed to each other.
[0106] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 In some examples, the housing 20 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22 disposed opposite to the first housing 21, with a first cavity 27 formed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and a first counterweight unit 30 installed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. Please refer to the following reference. Figure 9 and Figure 16 A second connecting protrusion 24 is provided on the second housing 22, and a second limiting part is provided on the first housing 21 at the position corresponding to the second connecting protrusion 24. The first connecting protrusion 23 and the second limiting part are detachably connected. For ease of molding and processing, the second connecting protrusion 24 in this example can have the same shape as the first connecting protrusion 23 in any of the above examples, and the shape of the second limiting part can have the same shape as the first limiting part in any of the above examples. The connection method and technical effects of the second connecting protrusion 24 and the second limiting part can refer to the connection method and technical effects of the first connecting protrusion 23 and the first limiting part described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0107] In some examples, based on the above examples, when manufacturing the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, the first connecting protrusion 23 is provided at one end of the first housing 21 in the circumferential direction, and the second limiting part is provided at the other end of the first housing 21 in the circumferential direction; correspondingly, the first limiting part is provided at one end of the second housing 22 in the circumferential direction, and the second connecting protrusion 24 is provided at the other end of the second housing 22 in the circumferential direction, so that the first connecting protrusion 23 cooperates with the first limiting part, and the second connecting protrusion 24 cooperates with the second limiting part, thereby realizing the mutual connection and fixation of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.
[0108] Furthermore, based on the previous example, in some examples, the second connecting protrusion 24 is provided with a second connecting portion 241, which is detachably connected to the second limiting portion; the number of the second connecting portion 241 and / or the second limiting portion is at least two. The cooperation method and technical effect of the second connecting portion 241 and the second limiting portion can be the same as the cooperation method and technical effect of the first connecting portion 231 and the first limiting portion in the aforementioned example, and will not be described again.
[0109] Further, based on the previous example, the second connecting protrusion 24 extends circumferentially along the first housing 21; the second limiting portion includes a second limiting protrusion 215 and a second limiting protrusion 212. The second limiting protrusion 215 is fixedly connected to the first housing 21 and extends toward the second housing 22. A second deformation space 216 is formed between the free end of the second limiting protrusion 215 and the first housing 21; the second limiting protrusion 212 is fixedly connected to the second limiting protrusion 215. The number of the second connecting portion 241 and / or the second limiting protrusion 212 is at least two. The second limiting protrusion 212 and the second connecting portion 241 are detachably connected. In this example, the second limiting protrusion 215 is fixedly connected to the first housing 21 and protrudes toward the first housing 21, extending circumferentially along the first housing 21. A second deformation space 216 is formed between the free end of the second limiting protrusion 212 and the first housing 21. The cooperation method and technical effect of the second limiting protrusion 215 and the second limiting protrusion 212 can be the same as the cooperation method and technical effect of the first limiting protrusion 225 and the first limiting protrusion 222 in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0110] When the second limiting protrusion 215 is pressed by a force acting on the axis of the first housing 21, it tends to deform into the second deformation space 216. When the second limiting protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 241 are connected to each other, the second limiting protrusion 215 deforms under force, so that the second limiting protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 241 can be connected and fixed to each other. When the force acting on the second limiting protrusion 215 disappears, the second limiting protrusion 215 tends to return to its original shape, thereby generating a pushing force on the second connecting protrusion 24 towards the outside of the first housing 21, so that the second limiting protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 241 can have an elastic locking effect. The connection method and technical effect of the second limiting protrusion 212 and the second connecting part 241 in this example are the same as the connection method and technical effect of the first limiting protrusion 222 and the first connecting part 231 in the previous example, and will not be described again.
[0111] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 9Based on the above examples, in some examples, a second limiting groove 211 is recessed on the first housing 21, extending circumferentially along the first housing 21, and having a bottom wall facing the outer side of the first housing 21; the free end of the second limiting protrusion 215 is located in the second limiting groove 211, forming a second deformation space 216 between the second limiting protrusion 215 and the bottom wall of the second limiting groove 211; the free end of the second connecting protrusion 24 is embedded in the second limiting groove 211. A second limiting groove is provided on the first housing 21; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 In the top view of the weight, the free ends of the second limiting protrusion 215 and the second connecting protrusion 24 are not visible, thus improving the aesthetics of the weight. The second limiting groove can also be used to restrict the movement of the second connecting protrusion 24 along the axial direction of the weight, which helps to improve the stability of the weight structure.
[0112] Furthermore, in some examples, to form the second limiting groove 211, the second limiting part further includes a second side plate 213 and a second bottom plate 214. There are two second side plates 213, which are arranged opposite each other and fixedly connected to the first housing 21. The second bottom plate 214 is located between the two second side plates 213 and fixedly connected to both second side plates 213. The second bottom plate 214 is also fixedly connected to the first housing 21. The second bottom plate 214 and the two second side plates 213 together form the second limiting groove 211. The second bottom plate 214 has a bottom wall facing the outside of the first housing 21. Both the second side plates 213 and the second bottom plate 214 are fixedly installed on the first housing 21. The second bottom plate 214 and the second side plates 213 together form the second limiting groove 211 to facilitate the forming of the second limiting groove 211.
[0113] Furthermore, in some examples, the first housing 21 has an opening facing the second housing 22, and the second housing 22 has an opening facing the first housing 21. When the openings of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are in contact with each other, the end of the second base plate 214 away from the first housing 21 abuts against the inner wall of the second housing 22. Referring to the aforementioned examples, the function of the second base plate 214 on the first housing 21 is the same as the function of the first base plate 224 on the second housing 22, and will not be repeated here. To facilitate the positioning of the first counterweight unit 30, in some examples, a clearance groove 35 corresponding to the position of the second base plate 214 is provided on the first counterweight unit 30. When the second base plate 214 is embedded in the corresponding clearance groove 35, the second base plate 214 can be used to restrict the axial movement of the first counterweight unit 30, thereby achieving the effect of positioning the first counterweight unit 30.
[0114] Based on the aforementioned counterweight, this invention also proposes an example of a bathroom fixture, comprising a faucet, a water pipe 10, and the counterweight as described in any of the above examples. The water pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the faucet, and the counterweight passes through the water pipe 10. The counterweight has a first hollow portion 31 and a second hollow portion 43 adapted to the water pipe 10. When the counterweight has a housing 20, a third hollow portion 29 adapted to the water pipe 10 is provided on the housing 20.
[0115] Bathroom fixtures may also include other functional modules, such as control valves, heaters, and mounting bases, which can be referred to in existing technologies and will not be elaborated further.
[0116] It is worth noting that since the bathroom device of the present invention is based on the aforementioned weight, the embodiments of the bathroom device of the present invention include all the technical solutions of all the embodiments of the aforementioned weight, and the technical effects achieved are exactly the same, which will not be repeated here.
