[0041] More specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 6The bottom end surface of the adapter 2 of the present invention is provided with a first through hole 22, a circular boss 21, and a columnar buckle 211 formed on the circular boss 21. The first through hole 22 is located at the center of the circular boss 21, and the columnar buckle 211 is arranged around the first through hole 22. A cylindrical accommodating cavity 212 is also provided on the surface of the circular boss 21, and the opening of the accommodating cavity 212 is set downward. A stopper 213 is also provided on the circular boss 21, and the stopper 213 and the accommodating cavity 212 are both located on the periphery of the first through hole 22 and are symmetrically arranged. The elastic ball assembly 4 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 212 of the adapter 2, that is, when the cylindrical shell 41 of the elastic ball assembly 4 is embedded and fixed in the accommodating cavity 212, the ball 43 of the elastic ball assembly 4 is set downward.

[0042] Continue reading Figure 7 and Figure 8 The cylindrical body 3 of the present invention includes an upper cylindrical body 31 and a lower mounting base 32. An annular plate 33 is provided in the chamber of the cylindrical body 3. The annular plate 33 is fixed in the chamber of the cylindrical body 31 and is close to the upper end of the cylindrical body 31. A circular clamping hole 331 is provided in the middle of the annular plate 33. A positioning groove 332 and a limiting groove 333 are provided on the upper surface of the annular plate 33. The positioning groove 332 and the limiting groove 333 are respectively arranged around the outer side of the circular clamping hole 331 and are arranged opposite to each other.

A water inlet 321 is provided at the center of the mounting base 32, and two opposing second mounting posts 322 are provided on the upper end surface of the mounting base 32. The two second mounting posts 322 respectively mate with the two second connecting plates 312.

[0044] When the bottom end of the adapter 2 is assembled with the top end of the cylinder 31, the cylindrical shell 41 of the elastic ball assembly 4 is first embedded and fixed in the accommodating cavity 211 on the circular boss 21, and the ball 43 of the elastic ball assembly 4 is aligned with the positioning groove 322, the stopper 213 is aligned with the limiting groove 333, and the columnar buckle 211 is aligned with the circular clamping hole 331. Then, the circular boss 21 at the lower end of the adapter 2 is moved downwardly along the axial direction of the adapter 2 and embedded in the upper end cavity of the cylinder 31, so that the columnar buckle 211 of the adapter 2 is inserted downwardly into the circular clamping hole 331 on the annular plate 33. When the columnar buckle 211 is locked and fixed with the circular clamping hole 331, the stopper 213 enters the limiting groove 333 and is limited thereto, and the ball 43 abuts against the positioning groove 332 and is positioned therewith. At this time, the adapter 2 is axially engaged with the fixed cylinder 31, and the adapter 2 can rotate back and forth within the range of the stopper 213 within the limiting groove 333. When the adapter 2 stops rotating, the ball 43 of the elastic ball assembly 4 can abut against an arc-shaped recess on the positioning groove 332 at the current position, so that the adapter 2 stops rotating without being subjected to external force.

[0045] It should be noted that, regarding the arrangement positions of the elastic ball assembly 4 and the stopper 213, although the above Figure 4 and Figure 8 The elastic ball assembly 4 and the stop block 213 are described as being arranged on the adapter 2, but this is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art may also arrange the elastic ball assembly 4 on the annular plate 33 as needed, and accordingly, the positioning groove 332 is arranged on the adapter 2; or, the stop block 213 is arranged on the annular plate 33, and accordingly, the limiting groove 333 is arranged on the adapter 2; or, the elastic ball assembly 4 and the stop block 213 are arranged on the annular plate 33 at the same time, and accordingly, the positioning groove 332 and the limiting groove 333 are arranged on the adapter 2. Such adjustment and change of the specific setting position of the elastic ball assembly 4 and the stop block 213 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] In addition, although Figure 4 The elastic ball assembly 4 is fixed by the accommodating cavity 212 on the adapter 2, but this is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can also set a threaded hole on the adapter 2 as needed, and the cylindrical shell 41 of the elastic ball assembly 4 is set to a threaded structure, and the elastic ball assembly 4 is fixed to the adapter 2 by screwing the cylindrical shell 41 and the threaded hole. Alternatively, a plug rod is provided at one end of the cylindrical shell 41, and a socket is provided on the adapter 2, and the elastic ball assembly 4 is fixed to the adapter 2 by plugging the plug rod and the socket. Such adjustment and change of the fixing method between the elastic ball assembly 4 and the adapter 2 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should also be noted that, despite the above combination Figure 8 The positioning grooves 332 described are multiple continuous arc-surface pits, but this is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can also set multiple spaced arc-surface pits according to actual needs to control the positioning of the adapter 2 at intervals.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 5 The faucet structure of the present invention also includes a water spout 5 and a connecting pipe (not shown in the figure). The faucet housing 1 includes a cantilever base shell 11 and a cantilever cover body 12. The upper side of the cantilever base shell 11 is provided with a strip opening corresponding to the cantilever cover body 12. The water outlet 111 is located at the horizontal end of the cantilever base shell 11. One end of the water spout 5 is clamped at the water outlet 111.

A plurality of latching protrusions 113 are provided on the inner side walls of both sides of the cantilever base shell 11, and a plurality of latching grooves 121 are provided on the cantilever cover body 12, which are opposite to the plurality of latching protrusions 113. The top of the adapter 2 is provided with a fixing groove 23 and two mounting holes 24, wherein the first through hole 21 and the two mounting holes 24 are both located in the fixing groove 23.

[0049] When assembling the faucet housing 1 and the adapter 2, the vertical end of the cantilever base shell 11 is placed in the fixing groove 23 of the adapter 2, so that the second through-hole 112 is opposite the first through-hole 22, and the two first mounting posts 114 are opposite the two mounting holes 24. Screws are passed through the mounting holes 24 and screwed into the threaded holes on the first mounting posts 114 to secure the cantilever base shell 11 to the adapter 2. After one end of the spout 5 is snap-fitted and fixed to the water outlet 111, a connecting pipe is placed in the strip-shaped opening of the cantilever base shell 11. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the other end of the spout 5, and the connecting pipe passes through the second through-hole 112 and the first through-hole 22 to connect to the water inlet 321 on the mounting base 32. Finally, the multiple slots 121 of the cantilever cover 12 are snap-fitted into the multiple latching protrusions 113 on the cantilever base shell 11, encapsulating the connecting pipe and spout 5 within the cantilever base shell 11.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the above description of the specific structure of the faucet housing 1, although Figure 3The strip opening on the cantilever base shell 11 is upwardly covered with the cantilever cover body 12, but this is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can also set a downwardly facing strip opening on the cantilever base shell 11 according to actual needs, and the cantilever cover body 12 is covered with the cantilever base shell 11 from below. Alternatively, a strip opening can be set in the horizontal direction of the cantilever base shell 11, and the cantilever cover body 12 is covered with the cantilever base shell 11 from the left or right side of the cantilever base shell 11.

[0051] Furthermore, it should be noted that the faucet structure may also include a filter (not shown) within the chamber of the cylindrical body 31. For example, the filter may be a small filter element capable of filtering water, or a filter capable of filtering large particles of impurities in the water. When the filter is located within the chamber of the cylindrical body 31, the filter outlet is connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and the filter inlet is connected to the water inlet 321.

[0052] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 9 The faucet structure of the present invention further comprises a decorative shell 6, the upper end of which has a circular receiving opening 61, and two third mounting columns 62 are provided in the cavity of the decorative shell 6. The two third mounting columns 62 are located on both sides of the receiving opening. When the adapter 2 is assembled on the cylinder 31, the decorative shell 6 is sleeved on the outside of the adapter 2 and the cylinder 31. When the top of the adapter 2 is matched with the accommodating opening 61 and the top surface of the adapter 2 and the top surface of the decorative shell 6 are in the same plane, the through holes on the two first connecting plates 311 at the upper end of the cylinder 31 are respectively opposite to the two third mounting posts 62 on the decorative shell 6, and the screws are screwed through the through holes and the threaded holes in the third mounting posts 62 to fasten the cylinder 31 in the cavity of the decorative shell 6. The two second connecting plates 312 at the lower end of the cylinder 31 are opposite to the two second mounting posts 322 on the mounting seat 32. The mounting seat 32 is fastened to the cylinder 31 using screws passed through the through holes in the second mounting posts 322 and screwed through the threaded holes on the second connecting plates 312 to fasten the mounting seat 32 to the cylinder 31.

[0053] Finally, during the disassembly and assembly process of the faucet structure, the elastic ball assembly 4 acts as an integral assembly, reducing the number of assembly components of the faucet structure and simplifying the assembly process between the adapter 2 and the cylindrical body 3. At the same time, since the faucet structure of the present invention is a detachable structure, it facilitates the installation and maintenance of the faucet structure.
