[0028] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1-6, a faucet, which includes a faucet body 1 and a water outlet pipe 2. The faucet body 1 is a three-way pipe. The faucet body 1 includes a vertical pipe body 11 and a horizontal pipe body 12. The vertical pipe body 11 is arranged on the countertop of the washbasin along the vertical direction. One end of the horizontal pipe body 12 is connected to the side wall of the vertical pipe body 11. Inside the lower part of the vertical pipe body 11, there is a water inlet channel 111. The horizontal pipe body 12 is used to accommodate a switching valve. The water inlet channel 111 communicates with the horizontal pipe body 12 to connect to the switching valve. Inside the upper part of the vertical pipe, there is a sliding groove 112 extending a certain distance along the height direction. The upper end of the sliding groove 112 has an opening, and the sliding groove 112 communicates with the horizontal pipe body 12.

[0030] The water outlet pipe 2 includes a sliding section 21 and a water outlet section 22 connected in sequence. The water outlet pipe 2 also includes a water outlet channel 23. The water outlet channel 23 is located inside the sliding section 21 and the water outlet section 22 to include the starting end of the sliding section 21 and the end of the water outlet section 22. The sliding section 21 is inserted into the sliding groove 112, and the sliding section 21 can slide axially in the sliding groove 112. The upper end of the sliding section 21 is connected to the water outlet section 22 by threads.

[0031] The faucet further includes a first bushing 4 and a second bushing 5. The sliding section 21 is provided with a plurality of annular groove sections 211 arranged at intervals along the axial direction. The first bushing 4 is arranged on the faucet body 1. The first bushing 4 includes at least one elastic clamping portion 41. When the sliding section 21 slides in the sliding groove 112, the elastic clamping portion 41 can correspondingly be clamped to one of the annular groove sections 211 to fix the sliding section 21 to the corresponding height. The second bushing 5 is arranged on the sliding section 21, and the second bushing 5 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 112. The first bushing 4 can fix the sliding section 21 to the corresponding height through the elastic clamping portion 41. The elastic clamping portion 41 of the first bushing 4 is clamped in the annular groove section 211, and the second bushing 5 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 112. The two abutments can reduce the shaking of the water outlet pipe 2 relative to the faucet body 1 and can conveniently adjust the height of the water outlet pipe 2 to adapt to different installation environments and washbasin requirements.

[0032] The first bushing 4 is arranged at the upper end of the sliding groove 112, and the second bushing 5 is arranged at the lower end of the sliding section 21. Specifically, the first bushing 4 includes a fixed ring seat 42, and one end of the elastic clamping portion 41 is connected to the fixed ring seat 42; the faucet further includes a fixed seat 6, and the fixed ring seat 42 and the fixed seat 6 are arranged at the upper end of the sliding groove 112, and the fixed seat 6 is fixedly connected to the faucet body 1 to abut and fix the fixed ring seat 42; in this embodiment, the fixed seat 6 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the sliding groove 112, the fixed ring seat 42 abuts against a step surface 13, the fixed ring seat 42 is clamped between the step surface 13 and the fixed seat 6, the elastic clamping portion 41 extends into the sliding groove 112, and the sliding groove 112 further includes a relief recess 113 corresponding to the position of the elastic clamping portion 41, and the elastic clamping portion 41 elastically deforms radially outward to be able to extend into the relief recess 113. The first bushing 4 is arranged around the sliding section 21, that is, the fixed ring seat 42 is arranged around the sliding section 21, the elastic clamping portion 41 includes a clamping block 411 correspondingly clamped in the annular joint groove 211, and the elastic clamping portion 41 can elastically deform radially outward to make the clamping block 411 leave or snap into the annular joint groove 211. The first bushing 4 includes a plurality of elastic clamping portions 41 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the elastic clamping portions 41 are correspondingly clamped at a plurality of positions spaced along the circumferential direction of the annular joint groove 211.

[0033] The adjacent two annular joint grooves 211 are connected by a smooth curved surface for transition; when the sliding section 21 slides in the sliding groove 112, the clamping block 411 can move along the smooth transition curved surface to another annular joint groove 211. The annular joint groove 211 has an arc-shaped groove structure, and the shape of the clamping block 411 is adapted to the arc-shaped groove structure. When the sliding section 21 slides relative to the sliding groove 112, the clamping ring slides along the smooth transition curved surface to another annular joint groove 211, and the switching is smooth. The shape of the clamping block 411 is adapted to the arc-shaped groove structure, and the structure between the clamping block 411 and the arc-shaped groove structure is a surface-to-surface structure. Therefore, the sliding section 21 is not easy to shake.

[0034] The lower end of the sliding section 21 includes an annular groove 212, the second bushing 5 is sleeved on the annular groove 212, and the outer wall of the second bushing 5 includes one or more ribs 51, and the ribs 51 abut against the groove wall of the sliding groove 112. Above the annular groove 212, there is also a ring groove for accommodating a sealing ring.

[0035] During installation, the fixing base 6 fixes the fixing ring seat 42 of the first bushing 4 above the sliding groove 112. The sliding section 21 is inserted into the sliding groove 112 from top to bottom, and the second bushing 5 correspondingly abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 112. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the water outlet pipe 2, the user can directly drive the water outlet pipe 2 to move up and down, so that the clamping block 411 correspondingly clamps on different annular joint grooves 211 to achieve different height adjustments.

[0036] As mentioned above, the above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention who makes non-substantive modifications to the present invention using this concept shall fall within the scope of infringement of the protection of the present invention.
