[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application filed on December 3, 2021, with application number 202123041801.7 and title "Quick-install structure and faucet for faucet", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a quick-installation structure and faucet. Background Technology

[0004] A faucet consists of a faucet body and a retaining sleeve. When installing a faucet, the retaining sleeve needs to be installed on the sink, and then the faucet body is connected to the retaining sleeve to complete the installation. Currently, installers typically need one hand above the sink to hold the retaining sleeve in place, and the other hand below the sink to tighten it. This method makes the retaining sleeve difficult to install, resulting in inconvenience and low installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a quick-installation structure and water hole head for a faucet, which simplifies the faucet installation process and improves the installation efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a quick-installation structure for a faucet, comprising:

[0007] The adapter includes an insertion section and a limiting section. The insertion section is used to insert into a preset mounting hole in the faucet mounting base, and the limiting section is used to limit the faucet mounting base to its outer surface.

[0008] A positioning seat, detachably mounted on the insertion section; and

[0009] A fixing component includes an active member and a mating member. The mating member is disposed between the limiting section and the positioning seat. The active member is inserted into the limiting section and the positioning seat and is rotatably connected to the mating member. The mating member has a fixed position that cooperates with the limiting section to clamp and fix the faucet mounting platform. The insertion section has a guide sidewall extending longitudinally along the adapter seat. The rotation of the active member can drive the mating member to rotate. When the mating member abuts against the guide sidewall, the mating member can move back and forth between the initial abutment position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall. When the mating member is in the fixed position, the mating member cooperates with the limiting section to form a clamping structure for clamping the faucet mounting platform.

[0010] In one embodiment, the positioning seat is provided with a positioning hole, and the active member is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the positioning seat is located at the end of the insertion segment away from the limiting segment.

[0012] In one embodiment, the positioning seat includes an annular base and a positioning boss. The positioning boss is located on the side of the annular base facing the insertion section. The insertion section is provided with a positioning groove that engages with the positioning boss. The positioning hole is located on the annular base.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mating component has a storage position within the insertion section, and the rotation of the driving component can drive the mating component to rotate and be in the storage position, so that the mating component can be inserted into or removed from the preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting platform together with the insertion section.

[0014] In one embodiment, the insertion section is cylindrical, and the peripheral wall of the insertion section is provided with a receiving notch. The mating member is located within the receiving notch, and the side wall of the peripheral wall of the insertion section corresponding to the receiving notch extending longitudinally along the adapter is the guide sidewall.

[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting segment is hollow along the longitudinal direction of the adapter to form an inner cavity communicating with the insertion segment. The inner cavity is provided with a support platform, and the support platform is provided with a through hole. The active member is inserted into the through hole, and the end of the active member near the limiting segment is supported on the support platform.

[0016] In one embodiment, the fixing component further includes an anti-detachment member disposed on the side of the positioning seat opposite to the limiting section. The active member passes through the positioning hole and is connected to the anti-detachment member. The anti-detachment member is used to prevent the active member from detaching from the positioning hole.

[0017] In one embodiment, the anti-detachment component is sleeved on the active component and threadedly connected to the active component.

[0018] In one embodiment, the driving member is a screw-in member, and the mating member is provided with a screw hole, wherein the screw-in member is threadedly adapted to the screw hole.

[0019] In one embodiment, the mating member is a strip-shaped block having a first end and a second end opposite each other along its length, and the screw hole is disposed near the first end of the mating member.

[0020] In one embodiment, the mating member has an abutment wall that abuts against the guide sidewall, the abutment wall being an arc-shaped wall.

[0021] In one embodiment, the abutment wall is provided in an outwardly convex arc shape.

[0022] In one embodiment, the outer sidewall of the mating member is provided with a sliding groove, which is slidably adapted to the guide sidewall of the insertion section.

[0023] In one embodiment, when the mating member is in the initial abutment position, the distance between the end of the sliding groove near the limiting segment and the limiting segment is less than the height of the guide sidewall protruding relative to the limiting segment.

[0024] In one embodiment, the mating component has an anti-slip structure on the side facing the limiting segment, the anti-slip structure being used to abut against the outer surface of the faucet mounting base.

[0025] In one embodiment, the fixing component further includes an anti-slip sleeve, which is fitted onto the mating member, and the side of the anti-slip sleeve facing the limiting segment is used to abut against the outer surface of the faucet mounting platform.

[0026] In one embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on one side of the anti-slip sleeve, and a through hole is provided along the longitudinal direction of the adapter seat, passing through the receiving groove, and the active member passes through the through hole.

[0027] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting segment is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, which is suitable for engaging with the snap-fit ​​component of the faucet body.

[0028] The present invention also proposes a faucet, the faucet including the quick-release structure of the faucet as described above, the faucet including a faucet body, the faucet body being connected to the quick-release structure of the faucet. The quick-release structure of the faucet includes an adapter, a positioning seat, and a fixing component. The adapter includes an insertion section and a limiting section. The insertion section is used to insert into a preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting base, and the limiting section is used to limit its position on the outer surface of the faucet mounting base. The positioning seat is detachably mounted on the insertion section. The fixing component includes an active component and a mating component. The mating component is located between the limiting section and the positioning seat. The active component is inserted into the limiting section and the positioning seat and is rotatably connected to the mating component. The mating component has a fixed position that cooperates with the limiting section to clamp and fix the faucet mounting base. The insertion section has a guide sidewall extending longitudinally along the adapter. The rotation of the active component can drive the mating component to rotate. When the mating component abuts against the guide sidewall, the mating component can move back and forth between the initial abutment position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall. When the mating component is in the fixed position, the mating component and the limiting section cooperate to form a clamping structure for clamping the faucet mounting base.

[0029] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting segment is provided with a snap-lock groove, and the faucet body has a snap-lock component, wherein the snap-lock groove is engaged with the snap-lock component.

[0030] In one embodiment, the faucet further includes a fastener, and the side wall of the faucet body is provided with a mounting hole adapted to the fastener. The fastener is disposed in the mounting hole and abuts against the groove wall of the screw groove.

[0031] The quick-install structure of the faucet of the present invention includes an adapter, a positioning seat, and a fixing component. The adapter includes an insertion section and a limiting section. The positioning seat is detachably disposed on the insertion section, making the positioning seat easy to install. The fixing component includes a driving member and a mating member. The mating member is disposed between the limiting section and the positioning seat. The driving member is inserted into the limiting section and the positioning seat and is rotatably connected to the mating member. The mating member has a fixed position that cooperates with the limiting section to clamp and fix the faucet mounting platform. The insertion section has a guide sidewall extending longitudinally along the adapter. Rotation of the driving member can drive the mating member to rotate. When the mating member is in limiting contact with the guide sidewall, the mating member is in the initial contact position and fixed position along the guide sidewall. The device can move back and forth between fixed positions. When the mating component is in a fixed position, it engages with the limiting section to form a clamping structure for holding the faucet mounting platform. This design allows installers to install the faucet's quick-release structure from one side of the outer surface of the mounting platform, securing it to the platform. This avoids the need for installation from opposite sides of the mounting platform, as is common in conventional techniques. This simplifies and speeds up the installation process, improving overall faucet installation efficiency. Furthermore, the limiting section and positioning seat position the driving component, preventing misalignment of the mating component and ensuring the verticality and accuracy of the mating component's position. This, in turn, ensures the stability of the mating component's grip on the faucet mounting platform, enhancing the reliability of the quick-release structure. Attached Figure Description

[0051] This invention proposes a quick-installation structure for a faucet, and a faucet including the quick-installation structure.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the lifting device of the present invention, the quick-release structure of the faucet includes an adapter 100, a positioning seat 130, and a fixing component 200. The adapter 100 includes an insertion section 110 and a limiting section 120. The insertion section 110 is used to insert into a preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting platform 500, and the limiting section 120 is used to limit the faucet mounting platform 500 to its outer surface (e.g., ...). Figure 9 and Figure 10(As shown); the positioning seat 130 is detachably mounted on the insertion section 110; the fixing assembly 200 includes an active member 210 and a mating member 220, the mating member 220 is disposed between the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130, the active member 210 is inserted into the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130, and is rotatably connected to the mating member 220, the mating member 220 has a fixed position that cooperates with the limiting section 120 to clamp and fix the faucet mounting platform 500, and the insertion section 110 has A guide sidewall 111 extends longitudinally along the adapter 100. The rotation of the active member 210 can drive the mating member 220 to rotate. When the mating member 220 is in limiting contact with the guide sidewall 111, the mating member 220 can move back and forth between an initial contact position and a fixed position along the guide sidewall 111. When the mating member 220 is in the fixed position, the mating member 220 cooperates with the limiting segment 120 to form a clamping structure for clamping the faucet mounting platform 500 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 ).

[0053] It is understood that the faucet includes a faucet body 300 and a quick-installation structure. The quick-installation structure is used to install into a pre-set mounting hole in the faucet mounting base 500. The quick-installation structure can connect with the faucet body 300, thereby fixing the faucet body 300 onto the faucet mounting base 500. When the faucet mounting base 500 is placed horizontally, the quick-installation structure can be installed from the upper surface of the faucet mounting base 500. When the faucet mounting base 500 is set at an angle to the horizontal direction, the quick-installation structure can be installed from one side of the outer surface of the faucet mounting base 500.

[0054] In conventional techniques, one hand is typically used to hold the fixed sleeve in place above the faucet mounting platform 500, while the other hand is used to tighten it from below. This method results in the installer's hands not being on the same side of the platform, making the installation difficult and inconvenient. In some scenarios, one installer needs to hold the sleeve in place while another enters from below the platform to complete the installation. Therefore, conventional techniques are inefficient and inefficient for installing fixed sleeves.

[0055] The following description uses a faucet mounting base 500 arranged horizontally as an example. In this application, the quick-install structure of the faucet can be inserted from the upper surface of the faucet mounting base 500 into a pre-set mounting hole. The limiting section 120 can be limited to the upper surface of the faucet mounting base 500. The active component 210 in the fixing assembly 200 can rotate to drive the mating component 220 to rotate. The mating component 220 can be limited and abutted against the guide sidewall 111 of the insertion section 110, so that the mating component 220 has an initial abutment position and a fixed position. When the mating part 220 is in the fixed position, it cooperates with the limiting section 120 to form a clamping structure for holding the faucet mounting platform 500. Specifically, by rotating the driving member 210 above the faucet mounting platform 500, the mating part 220 can be fixed in the fixed position. At this time, the mating part 220 and the limiting section 120 cooperate to form a clamping structure, and the mating part 220 abuts against the lower surface of the faucet mounting platform 500 to clamp and fix the quick-installation structure of the faucet onto the faucet mounting platform 500. Therefore, the quick-installation structure of the faucet can be installed from above the faucet mounting platform 500, avoiding the need to access the lower part of the faucet mounting platform 500 to complete the installation, thus making the installation process of the quick-installation structure of the faucet simple and quick.

[0056] It should be noted that the rotation of the driving member 210 can drive the mating member 220 to rotate, and the mating member 220 can be limited to abut against the guide sidewall 111. Of course, the mating member 220 can also be spaced apart from the guide sidewall 111. As for the way in which the rotation of the driving member 210 drives the rotation of the mating member 220, so that it can move back and forth between the initial abutment position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall 111, there are many ways, such as, but not limited to: the rotation of the driving member 210 drives the rotation of the mating member 220, and the mating member 220 is limited to abut against the guide sidewall 111, converting the rotational motion into linear motion, thereby realizing the back and forth movement between the initial abutment position and the fixed position. The driving member 210 and the mating member 220 can be threaded or slidably connected, and the specific connection is not limited here.

[0057] Furthermore, the positioning seat 130 is detachably connected to the insertion section 110, allowing the positioning seat 130 to be installed on the insertion section 110. The detachable connection between the positioning seat 130 and the insertion section 110 can be achieved in various ways, such as, but not limited to, threaded connection, insertion connection, or snap-fit ​​connection. The driving member 210 is inserted into the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130, meaning the driving member 210 is positioned by the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130. The positioning seat 130 further limits the driving member 210, ensuring it is installed in a preset position. This prevents the mating member 220 from being misaligned, thus ensuring the perpendicularity of the driving member 210 and preventing misalignment of the mating member 220.

[0058] When the mating part 220 and the limiting section 120 clamp the faucet mounting base 500, if the mating part 220 is misaligned, the contact area between the mating part 220 and the outer surface of the faucet mounting base 500 will be reduced. This will prevent the mating part 220 from stably abutting against the outer surface of the faucet mounting base 500, resulting in point contact or line contact, and consequently, the mating part 220 will not be able to stably clamp the faucet mounting base 500. Therefore, this application, by setting the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130 to position the driving part 210, ensures the stability of the mating part 220 clamping the faucet mounting base 500 on the driving part 210, thereby improving the reliability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet.

[0059] The quick-install structure of the faucet of the present invention includes an adapter 100, a positioning seat 130, and a fixing component 200. The adapter 100 includes an insertion section 110 and a limiting section 120. The positioning seat 130 is detachably disposed on the insertion section 110, making the positioning seat 130 easy to install. The fixing component 200 includes an active member 210 and a mating member 220. The mating member 220 is disposed between the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130. The active member 210 is inserted into the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130 and is rotatably connected to the mating member 220. The mating member 220 has a fixed position that cooperates with the limiting section 120 to clamp and fix the faucet mounting platform 500. The insertion section 110 has a guide sidewall 111 extending longitudinally along the adapter 100. The rotation of the active member 210 can drive the mating member 220 to rotate, and the mating member 220 and the positioning seat 130 are connected to the active member 210. When the guide sidewall 111 is in the limiting contact position, the mating part 220 can move back and forth between the initial contact position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall 111. When the mating part 220 is in the fixed position, the mating part 220 and the limiting section 120 cooperate to form a clamping structure for clamping the faucet mounting platform 500. This setting allows the installer to install the quick-install structure of the faucet from one side of the outer surface of the faucet mounting platform 500 to fix the quick-install structure of the faucet onto the faucet mounting platform 500. This avoids the situation in conventional technology where the quick-install structure of the faucet needs to be installed from opposite sides of the outer surface of the faucet mounting platform 500. This makes the installation process of the quick-install structure of the faucet simple and quick, which helps to improve the installation efficiency of the quick-install structure of the faucet, and thus improves the installation efficiency of the faucet. Furthermore, by setting the limiting section 120 and the positioning seat 130 to position the active component 210, the installation of the active component 210 is prevented from being misaligned, which would cause the mating component 220 to be misaligned. This ensures the verticality of the active component 210 and the accuracy of the installation position of the mating component 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the mating component 220 on the active component 210 in holding the faucet mounting platform 500 and improving the reliability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the positioning base 130 is provided with a positioning hole 131, and the driving member 210 is inserted into the positioning hole 131. It is understood that by providing the positioning hole 131, the driving member 210 can be quickly inserted into the positioning base 130, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the driving member 210. The structure of the positioning hole 131 is not limited; for example, it can be a countersunk hole or a through hole, as long as the positioning hole 131 can position the driving member 210. In this embodiment, the positioning hole 131 is a through hole penetrating the positioning base 130.

[0061] In one embodiment, the active component 210 is threadedly connected to the positioning hole 131, which improves the ease of installation of the active component 210.

[0062] In one embodiment, the positioning seat 130 is located at the end of the insertion section 110 away from the limiting section 120. This arrangement ensures that the insertion section 110 has a certain length, ensuring the verticality of the active component 210 while making full use of the structure of the insertion section 110. This results in a reasonable structural design and arrangement of the insertion section 110 and the adapter seat 100, high structural utilization of the insertion section 110, and improved applicability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet.

[0063] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the positioning seat 130 includes an annular base 132 and a positioning boss 133. The positioning boss 133 is located on the side of the annular base 132 facing the insertion section 110. The insertion section 110 is provided with a positioning groove that engages with the positioning boss 133. The positioning hole 131 is located on the annular base 132.

[0064] It is understandable that the interior of the insertion section 110 can be hollow to form a positioning groove, which can also accommodate the water pipe of the faucet body. This design improves the applicability of the faucet's quick-installation structure. The annular base 132 ensures the structural strength of the positioning seat 130, and the positioning boss 133 engages with the positioning groove, making the installation of the positioning seat 130 simple and improving its installation efficiency. By placing the positioning hole 131 on the annular base 132, the positioning hole 131 does not affect the structural strength of the positioning seat 130. Moreover, the active member 210 is threadedly connected to the positioning hole 131, allowing the positioning seat 130 to be stably installed on the insertion section 110. This improves the ease of installation of the active member 210 while ensuring the verticality of the active member 210 installation through the positioning hole 131. The reasonable structural design and arrangement of the positioning seat 130 further enhances the applicability of the faucet's quick-installation structure.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the mating member 220 has a storage position within the insertion section 110. The rotation of the active member 210 can drive the mating member 220 to rotate and be in the storage position, so that the mating member 220 can be inserted into or removed from the preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting platform 500 together with the insertion section 110.

[0066] It is understood that the driving member 210 and the mating member 220 are detachably connected. The mating member 220 has a storage position. When the mating member 220 rotates into the insertion section 110, it is in the storage position, which is equivalent to the initial pre-installation position. In the initial pre-installation position, the quick-release structure of the faucet can be inserted into the preset installation hole from the upper surface of the faucet mounting platform 500 without interference from the preset installation hole, thus facilitating the installation of the quick-release structure. Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the quick-release structure of the faucet, by rotating the driving member 210, the mating member 220 is rotated to the storage position, allowing it to be moved out of the preset installation hole along with the insertion section 110. Again, the mating member 220 does not interfere with the preset installation hole, facilitating the quick removal of the quick-release structure. Therefore, the method of removing the quick-release structure of the faucet is simple and improves disassembly efficiency. Therefore, the quick-installation structure of the faucet in this solution is not only easy to install in the preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting platform 500, but also easy to remove from the preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting platform 500. The quick-installation structure of the faucet is convenient to install and remove, which helps to improve the efficiency of faucet installation and removal.

[0067] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the insertion section 110 is cylindrical, and the peripheral wall of the insertion section 110 is provided with a receiving notch 112. The mating member 220 is located in the receiving notch 112. The side wall of the peripheral wall of the insertion section 110 corresponding to the receiving notch 112 extending longitudinally along the adapter seat 100 is the guide side wall 111.

[0068] Understandably, the cylindrical insertion section 110 ensures that the adapter 100 can be inserted into the preset mounting hole of the faucet mounting base 500, and the receiving notch 112 has the function of storing the mating part 220 and clamping and fixing the faucet mounting base 500. At the same time, the peripheral wall of the insertion section 110 is used as the guide side wall 111 corresponding to one side wall of the receiving notch 112, making full use of the structure of the insertion section 110. This makes the structural design and arrangement of the adapter 100 reasonable, and the structural utilization rate of the adapter 100 high, thus improving the applicability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet.

[0069] In one embodiment, there are multiple fixing components 200, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the insertion segment 110. The number of guide sidewalls 111 of the insertion segment 110 matches the number of mating parts 220 of the fixing components 200. It is understood that the number of fixing components 200 can be one, two, three, five, or more, and is not specifically limited here. When there is only one fixing component 200, the driving member 210 is inserted into the limiting segment 120 and spaced apart from the insertion segment 110. In this case, there is only one guide sidewall 111 of the insertion segment 110, so that the mating part 220 can be limited and abutted against the guide sidewall 111 of the insertion segment 110 during rotation. One fixing component 200 can achieve the function of this solution, which is beneficial to material costs.

[0070] When there are two fixing components 200, they are arranged opposite each other within the adapter 100. In this case, there are two guide sidewalls 111 of the insertion section 110 and two receiving notches 112. The two fixing components 200 can also achieve the function of this design, which helps improve the stability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet and the clamping and fixing of the faucet mounting platform 500. When there are three fixing components 200, they are arranged circumferentially spaced along the insertion section 110. In this case, there are three guide sidewalls 111 of the insertion section 110 and three receiving notches 112. The three fixing components 200 can also achieve the function of this design, further improving the stability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet and the clamping and fixing of the faucet mounting platform 500.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the limiting segment 120 is hollow along the longitudinal direction of the adapter 100 to form an inner cavity communicating with the insertion segment 110. The inner cavity is provided with a support platform 121, and the support platform 121 is provided with a through hole 122. The active member 210 is inserted into the through hole 122, and one end of the active member 210 near the limiting segment 120 is supported on the support platform 121.

[0072] Understandably, the through hole 122 is used for inserting the driving member 210, and the support platform 121 is used for supporting the driving member 210, so that an external device can drive the driving member 210 to rotate, thereby driving the mating part 220 to rotate. The through hole 122 may be threaded, and the driving member 210 can be threadedly connected to the through hole 122 on the support platform 121. An external device can be used outside the support platform 121 to drive the driving member 210 to rotate, which simplifies the installation of the driving member 210, facilitates operation, and improves the installation efficiency of the driving member 210.

[0073] In one embodiment, a clearance notch (not shown) is provided on the side of the through hole 122 away from the inner wall of the cavity. It is understood that by providing a clearance notch on the side of the through hole 122 away from the inner wall of the cavity, the space occupied by the support platform 121 within the cavity is reduced, thereby reserving more space for the water pipe of the faucet body 300. This allows the water pipe of the faucet body to pass smoothly through the inner cavity when installing it. Therefore, by providing a clearance notch, the structural arrangement of the adapter 100 is made more reasonable, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate of the adapter 100.

[0074] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the fixing component 200 further includes an anti-detachment member 230, which is disposed on the side of the positioning portion opposite to the limiting segment 120. The active member 210 passes through the positioning hole 131 and is connected to the anti-detachment member 230. The anti-detachment member 230 is used to restrict the active member 210 from detaching from the positioning hole 131.

[0075] It is understandable that the specific structure of the anti-detachment component 230 is not limited, as long as it can connect with the active component 210 and prevent the active component 210 from detaching from the positioning hole 131. The end of the active component 210 near the limiting section 120 rests on the support platform 121, while the end of the active component 210 away from the limiting section 120 passes through the positioning hole 131 and connects to the anti-detachment component 230. This arrangement ensures that when the external device drives the active component 210 to rotate, the end of the active component 210 passing through the positioning hole 131 cannot detach from the positioning hole 131. This prevents operator error from causing the mating component 220 to separate from the active component 210, thus avoiding the situation where the mating component 220 falls and cannot stably hold the faucet mounting platform 500. Therefore, by incorporating the anti-detachment component 230, the reliability of the faucet's quick-installation structure during installation is improved.

[0076] In one embodiment, the anti-detachment component 230 is sleeved on the active component 210 and threadedly connected to the active component 210. It is understood that the anti-detachment component 230 has a threaded hole with an internal thread, and the active component 210 has an external thread. The outer contour dimension of the anti-detachment component 230 is larger than the diameter of the positioning hole 131, so that the anti-detachment component 230 can limit the movement of the active component 210 when threadedly connected to it. Therefore, by setting the anti-detachment component 230 to be threadedly connected to the active component 210, the installation method of the anti-detachment component 230 is simplified, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the anti-detachment component 230.

[0077] In one embodiment, the driving member 210 is a threaded connector, and the mating member 220 is provided with a threaded hole 222, the threaded connector being threadedly adapted to the threaded hole 222. It is understood that the sidewall of the threaded connector has an external thread, and the threaded hole 222 of the mating member 220 has an internal thread; the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly connected. This arrangement simplifies the connection between the driving member 210 and the mating member 220, and allows the mating member 220 to move back and forth along the length of the threaded connector during rotation, thereby enabling the mating member 220 to switch between an initial contact position and a fixed position. The threaded connector can also be a locking screw, where the threads of the locking screw are coated with anti-loosening adhesive, making it less prone to loosening after the mating member 220 clamps and fixes the faucet mounting base 500. Therefore, by setting the driving member 210 and the mating member 220 as a threaded connection, the structure of the fixing component 200 is simplified, thereby reducing the operational difficulty of the quick-installation structure of the faucet and improving installation efficiency.

[0078] Please see Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the mating member 220 is a strip-shaped block and has a first end 223 and a second end 224 opposite to each other along the length direction, and the screw hole 222 is disposed near the first end 223 of the mating member 220.

[0079] With this configuration, when the driving component 210 drives the mating component 220 to rotate, and the mating component 220 rotates to a stop against the guide side wall 111, the second end 224 of the mating component 220 is located at the outermost side of the adapter seat 100. The mating component 220 is arranged in a strip shape, so that when the mating component 220 is in a fixed position, the clamping contact area between the mating component 220 and the lower surface of the faucet mounting platform 500 is maximized. This helps to improve the stability of the mating component 220 clamping the faucet mounting platform 500, and avoids the situation where the screw hole 222 is located in the middle of the mating component 220, which would prevent some areas of the mating component 220 from clamping and contacting the faucet mounting platform 500 and thus affect the clamping stability. Therefore, this solution, by setting the mating part 220 as a strip block, with the mating part 220 having a first end 223 and a second end 224 opposite each other along the length direction, and the screw hole 222 being set close to the first end 223 of the mating part 220, can increase the contact area between the mating part 220 and the faucet mounting base 500, thereby improving the stability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet installed on the faucet mounting base 500.

[0080] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the mating member 220 has an abutment wall 225 that abuts against the guide sidewall 111, and the abutment wall 225 is an arc-shaped wall. With this configuration, when the driving member 210 drives the mating member 220 to rotate, and the mating member 220 rotates to abut against the guide sidewall 111, the arc surface of the arc-shaped wall facilitates the mating member 220 in guiding the guide sidewall 111 during rotation, allowing the guide sidewall 111 to slide smoothly along the outer wall of the mating member 220. This, in turn, allows the mating member 220 to smoothly move back and forth between the initial abutment position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall 111.

[0081] In one embodiment, the abutment wall 225 is provided in an outwardly convex arc shape. The outwardly convex arc-shaped wall surface is beneficial for guiding the mating member 220 so that the mating member 220 can rotate smoothly to abut against the guide sidewall 111, and also helps to improve the smoothness of the sliding of the mating member 220 along the guide sidewall 111.

[0082] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the mating member 220 is provided with a sliding groove 221, which is slidably adapted to the guide sidewall 111 of the insertion section 110. This arrangement makes the sliding of the mating member 220 and the guide sidewall 111 smoother, making it easier for operators to assemble the quick-installation structure of the faucet and improving the installation efficiency of the quick-installation structure. The shape and size of the sliding groove 221 are not limited here; they only need to be adapted to the shape and size of the guide sidewall 111. In this embodiment, the groove wall of the sliding groove 221 is concave arc-shaped, and the guide sidewall 111 is convex arc-shaped, with their curvatures matching, allowing the mating member 220 to slide smoothly along the guide sidewall 111.

[0083] In one embodiment, the sliding groove 221 is disposed on the outer wall between the first end 223 and the second end 224 of the mating member 220, and the outer wall between the first end 223 of the mating member 220 and the sliding groove 221 is an arc-shaped wall. With this configuration, when the driving member 210 drives the mating member 220 to rotate, and the mating member 220 rotates to a stop contact with the guide sidewall 111, the arc-shaped wall surface facilitates the mating member 220 in guiding the guide sidewall 111 during rotation, allowing the guide sidewall 111 to smoothly slide along the outer wall of the mating member 220 into the sliding groove 221. This allows the mating member 220 to move back and forth between the initial contact position and the fixed position along the guide sidewall 111. In this embodiment, the aforementioned arc-shaped wall is convex outwards. Therefore, this solution, by setting the outer wall between the first end 223 of the mating member 220 and the sliding groove 221 as an arc-shaped wall, can improve the reliability of the quick-installation structure of the faucet.

[0084] In one embodiment, the mating member 220 has a first sidewall and a second sidewall disposed opposite to each other along the width direction. A sliding groove 221 is provided on the first sidewall, and the second sidewall is concave towards the first sidewall. This arrangement makes the center of the mating member 220 more biased towards the sliding groove 221. When the driving member 210 drives the mating member 220 to slide along the guide sidewall 111, the mating member 220 as a whole tends to be eccentric towards the guide sidewall 111, thereby reducing the driving force required for the driving member 210 to move the mating member 220, and thus improving the applicability of the fixing assembly 200.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the mating member 220 is in the initial abutment position, the distance between the end of the sliding groove 221 near the limiting segment 120 and the limiting segment 120 is less than the height of the guide sidewall 111 protruding relative to the limiting segment 120. This arrangement ensures that when the mating member 220 initially abuts against the guide sidewall 111, the rotation of the driving member 210 can drive the sliding groove 221 of the mating member 220 to move along the guide sidewall 111 towards the limiting segment 120. That is, when the mating member 220 is in the initial abutment position, the sliding groove 221 can contact the guide sidewall 111, ensuring that the mating member 220 can move along the guide sidewall 111 to abut against the lower surface of the faucet mounting platform 500, thereby improving the stability of the faucet's quick-installation structure.

[0086] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad is provided between the active member 210 and the support platform 121 so that the active member 210 can rotate stably on the support platform 121.

[0087] In one embodiment, the mating component 220 has an anti-slip structure on the side facing the limiting section 120, which abuts against the outer surface of the faucet mounting base 500. It is understood that the anti-slip structure can have various options, such as, but not limited to, adding a gasket, or processing the upper surface of the mating component 220 facing the limiting section 120. Processing includes material treatment and shape treatment, etc., and is not specifically limited here, as long as the friction between the processed mating component 220 and the lower surface of the faucet mounting base 500 is increased. The anti-slip structure increases the friction between the mating component 220 and the lower surface of the faucet mounting base 500, thereby enabling the mating component 220 to be stably clamped and fixed on the faucet mounting base 500, thus improving the stability of the faucet's quick-release structure.

[0088] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12In one embodiment, the fixing component 200 further includes an anti-slip sleeve 240, which is sleeved on the mating component 220. The side of the anti-slip sleeve 240 facing the limiting segment 120 is used to abut against the outer surface of the faucet mounting platform 500.

[0089] Understandably, the anti-slip sleeve 240 is fitted onto the mating part 220. The anti-slip sleeve 240 is used to increase the friction between the mating part 220 and the faucet mounting platform 500, thereby enhancing the stability of the mating part 220 in holding the faucet mounting platform 500. The anti-slip sleeve 240 has a higher roughness on the side facing the limiting section 120, resulting in greater friction between the anti-slip sleeve 240 and the faucet mounting platform 500. By setting the anti-slip sleeve 240, the design of the anti-slip structure is relatively simple, and the anti-slip sleeve 240 is easy to install.

[0090] In one embodiment, the anti-slip sleeve 240 has a receiving groove 241 on one side, and the anti-slip sleeve 240 has a through hole 242 that passes through the receiving groove 241 along the longitudinal direction of the adapter seat 100, and the active member 210 passes through the through hole 242.

[0091] Understandably, by providing the receiving groove 241, the anti-slip sleeve 240 is easily installed on the mating part 220; and by providing the through hole 242 through the receiving groove 241, the driving member 210 can pass through the anti-slip sleeve 240 and the mating part 220, thereby ensuring the stability of the anti-slip sleeve 240 installed on the driving member 210 and the mating part 220. An internal thread can be provided in the through hole 242, allowing the driving member 210 to be threadedly connected to the anti-slip sleeve 240, thus improving the installation efficiency and stability of the anti-slip sleeve 240.

[0092] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting segment 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 123, which is suitable for engaging with the snap-fit ​​component of the faucet body 300. This arrangement allows the faucet body 300 to be quickly assembled with the limiting segment 120, and the snap-fit ​​groove 123 and the snap-fit ​​component also prevent the assembled faucet from easily loosening or separating, thereby improving the stability of the quick-assembly structure connection between the faucet body 300 and the faucet.

[0093] The present invention also proposes a faucet, which includes the quick-installation structure of the faucet as described above. The specific structure of the quick-installation structure of the faucet is as described in the above embodiments. Since the faucet adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0094] Optionally, the faucet includes a faucet body 300, which is connected to a quick-installation structure. This quick-installation structure improves the installation efficiency of the faucet.

[0095] In one embodiment, a snap-fit ​​groove 123 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting segment 120, and the faucet body 300 has a snap-fit ​​component, with the snap-fit ​​groove 123 engaging with the snap-fit ​​component. This arrangement allows the faucet body 300 to be quickly assembled with the limiting segment 120, and the snap-fit ​​groove 123 and the snap-fit ​​component also prevent the assembled faucet from easily loosening or separating, thereby improving the stability of the quick-assembly connection between the faucet body 300 and the faucet.

[0096] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the faucet further includes a fastener 400. The side wall of the faucet body 300 is provided with an installation hole adapted to the fastener 400. The fastener 400 is disposed in the installation hole and abuts against the groove wall of the screw groove 123.

[0097] It is understood that the fastener 400 can be a screw or a post, and the specific type is not limited here. In this embodiment, the fastener 400 is a screw, and the mounting hole is a threaded hole. By screwing the screw into the threaded hole and abutting against the groove wall of the screw threaded groove 123 on the limiting section 120, the faucet body 300 cannot move in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the adapter 100, that is, the faucet body 300 cannot move in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby preventing the faucet body 300 from detaching from the adapter 100, and ensuring a stable and secure connection between the faucet body 300 and the adapter 100.

[0098] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
