Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to faucet technology, and more particularly to a faucet unit, faucet, and faucet structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when installing functional water modules (such as aerators, water shape rectifiers, etc.) in the structure of a faucet, space needs to be reserved in the spout area for the installation of the functional water modules. This limits the water outlet direction and thickness of the faucet, and also affects its aesthetics.

[0003] Furthermore, because the functional water module is affected by the overall shape of the faucet, faucets with special shapes require functional water modules of corresponding shapes, which increases the user's maintenance costs. For example, for an arched faucet with a square cross-section, a special functional water module that matches the shape of the faucet's spout must be selected to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result, leading to increased maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a faucet unit, a faucet, and a faucet structure, which can increase the design freedom of the faucet unit thickness, improve aesthetics, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0016] In an exemplary embodiment, along the elongation direction of the water outlet body, the length of the functional water module is less than the length of the first water outlet;

[0017] Along the width direction of the water outlet body, the width of the functional water module is smaller than the width of the first water outlet;

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, the water outlet body includes a fluid switching section; along the extension direction of the water outlet body, the fluid switching section is located on the side of the configuration cavity away from the second water outlet and is disposed on the path of the second water outlet along the extension direction, so as to guide the fluid flowing out from the second water outlet to flow out from the first water outlet.

[0024] In an exemplary embodiment, the fluid switching unit includes a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the water outlet body, the lower surface being the surface of the water outlet body where the first water outlet is disposed along its thickness direction.

[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the first embodiment of this application provides a faucet structure 100 and a faucet unit 2. The faucet structure 100 includes an inlet pipe body 1, a faucet unit 2, a valve core (not shown) located at the connection between the inlet pipe body 1 and the faucet unit 2, and an operating handle 3 for controlling the valve core. The inlet pipe body 2 is used to connect to a water source and can be installed on the countertop around the sink; the faucet 2 can direct the water flow delivered by the inlet pipe body 1 to the point of use, generally above the sink opening; the operating handle 3 is used to control the opening and closing of the valve core, and of course, the valve core can also be controlled by touch, voice, or gesture control, which is not limited here.

[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the faucet unit 2 includes a water outlet body 20, which has a water delivery channel 21 extending along its extension direction and a water outlet cavity 22 communicating with the water delivery channel 21. The water outlet cavity 22 includes a first water outlet 220 located on one side of the water outlet body 20 in the thickness direction. The water outlet body 20 also includes a configuration cavity 23 located at the connection between the water delivery channel 21 and the water outlet cavity 22 and used for installing the functional water module 4. The configuration cavity 23 extends along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20 and has a second water outlet 230 communicating with the water outlet cavity 22. The opening of the second water outlet 230 faces the extension direction of the water outlet body 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, the faucet unit 2 has a configuration cavity 23 for installing the functional water module 4 in its own elongation direction. The faucet unit 2 does not need to reserve space for installing the functional water module 4 in the thickness direction or at the first water outlet 220. For example, the functional water module 4 that provides functional water is installed in the configuration cavity 23. The faucet unit 2 is thinner in the thickness direction. By installing the functional water module 4 in the configuration cavity 23, the structure and shape of the functional water module 4 do not need to be considered at the first water outlet 220. This allows the shape of the first water outlet 220 to be constructed to be more suitable for the straight faucet unit 2. For example, the water outlet does not need to be convex or designed to conform to the outline or space of the functional water module in order to meet the function of water. Thus, the faucet unit 2 has more freedom in the thickness direction design and can achieve thinner and more aesthetically pleasing design.

[0053] The faucet unit 2 in this embodiment has a square cross-section and extends in a straight line. Of course, the cross-section of the faucet unit 2 can also be circular or other shapes; the faucet unit 2 can also extend in a curved shape, an arched shape, etc., and is not limited here. Figures 1-3 As shown, the faucet unit 2 in this embodiment of the application also includes a functional water module 4 installed in the configuration cavity 23 for providing functional water.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, the faucet unit 2 of this application embodiment further includes a functional water module 4 formed at the second water outlet 230 and used to provide functional water. The functional water module 4 can be integrally formed with the water outlet body 20, thereby maintaining high stability under the impact of fluid.

[0055] For example, the functional water module 4 can be a bubble generator, a water rectifier, or a water processor, etc., to provide water in the form of shower water, sparkling water, or other functional forms. In an exemplary embodiment, the specific structure of the functional water module 4 can be referred to Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN202321486339.8, and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] To achieve the best water output effect of the functional water module 4, the water outlet chamber 22 and the first water outlet 220 are configured such that when the fluid is ejected from the first water outlet 220, no pressure is applied to the fluid that changes the form of the functional water, or the pressure is applied to the fluid that does not change the form of the functional water when the fluid is ejected from the first water outlet 22.

[0057] For example, the flow area of ​​the water outlet cavity 22 and the flow area of ​​the first water outlet 220 are both set to be equal to or greater than the flow area of ​​the second water outlet; and / or in the thickness direction of the water outlet body 20 and along the fluid flow direction, the first water outlet 220 is located at a position set lower than the second water outlet; and / or along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20, the first water outlet 220 includes a first side close to the configuration cavity 23 and a second side away from the mounting cavity 23, and the first side is set not to be on the water outlet path of the second water outlet 230.

[0058] Through the above design, the water flow can maintain the functional form of the water flow processed by the functional water module 4 after passing through it.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, both the configuration cavity 23 and the functional water module 4 have square cross-sections. To achieve the best water output effect from the functional water module 4, the length of the first outlet 220 along the elongation direction of the water outlet body 20 is set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the functional water module 4. This ensures that the diameter of the first outlet 220 is not less than the area of ​​the cross-sectional profile of the functional water module 4, preventing the functional water flowing out of the functional water module 4 from being affected by the pressure of the outlet cavity 22 and thus changing its shape.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, the length of the first outlet 220 in the elongation direction is set to be greater than or equal to the thickness of the water column from the functional water module 4. Similarly, in this configuration, the diameter of the first outlet 220 is still not less than the area of ​​the cross-sectional profile of the functional water ejected from the functional water module 4. When the functional water flows out through the outlet cavity, the pressure applied to the functional water is insufficient to change the shape of the functional water, thereby ensuring that the water ejected from the first outlet 220 meets the predetermined water outlet shape.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment, the faucet unit 2 is in the shape of a straight plate and adopts an integrated design, with an overall beautiful and slim appearance.

[0062] Since the functional water module 4 is installed within the space along the elongation direction of the faucet unit 2, the shape of the functional water module 4 is limited only by the cross-sectional shape of the configuration cavity 23, and does not limit the shape of the water outlet body 20. For example, on a straight-plate faucet unit 2, the functional water module 4, which provides functional water, is installed in the configuration cavity 23. The faucet unit 2 is relatively thin in the thickness direction. By installing the functional water module 4 in the configuration cavity 23, the structure and shape of the functional water module 4 do not need to be considered at the first water outlet 220. This allows the first water outlet 220 to be constructed as a non-protruding structure, meaning that the lower side of the water outlet can be on the same plane as the lower plane of the straight plate. Therefore, the faucet's water outlet has greater design space, and faucets with different configurations can be fitted with the same functional water module 4.

[0063] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the configuration cavity 23 of the water outlet body 20 is square. Therefore, the functional water module 4 also adopts a square shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the water flow delivery channel 21. When the shape of the water outlet body 20 is square and the cross-section of the configuration cavity 23 is circular, the functional water module 4 can also adopt a circular shape that matches the cross-sectional shape of the configuration cavity 23. Thus, the faucet unit 2 of this embodiment can adapt to the conventionally shaped functional water module 4, and is not affected by the shape of the water outlet body 20, thereby reducing user maintenance costs.

[0064] To enable the functional water module 4 to be inserted into the configuration cavity 23 from the first outlet 220, the first outlet 220 is configured to allow the functional water module 4 to be inserted into the second outlet 230 via the first outlet 220. For example, the width of the first outlet 220 is not less than the width of the functional water module 4, and its length in the extending direction may be less than the length of the functional water module 4. In this configuration, the functional water module 4 can be inserted into the configuration cavity 23 by oblique insertion through the first outlet 220 and the second outlet 230.

[0065] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the functional water module 4 and the inner wall of the configuration cavity 23 are provided with mutually cooperating guide structures. The guide structures allow the functional water module 4 to slide into the configuration cavity 23 along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20, and control the functional water module 4 to deflect along the width direction of the water outlet body 20. For example, the guide structure includes a guide groove 40 extending along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20 and a guide rail 231 that cooperates with and holds the guide groove 40. The guide groove 40 and the guide rail 231 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the functional water module 4 and the inner wall of the configuration cavity 23. In this embodiment, the guide groove 40 is formed by the indentation of the bottom wall of the functional water module 4, and the guide rail 231 is formed by a pair of wedge-shaped protrusions on both sides of the width of the bottom wall of the configuration cavity 23.

[0066] In this embodiment, the faucet structure 100 is designed with a guide structure to ensure safe operation of the faucet structure 100 under different water pressures and types of functional water modules 4, due to the distance between the second outlet 230 of the functional water module 4 and the deflection surface of the functional water module 4.

[0067] For example, the water outlet cavity 22 is configured to accommodate the functional water module 4 and allow the functional water module 4 to be inserted into the second water outlet 230 along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20. The dimensions of the first water outlet 220 and the functional water module 4 are set to satisfy the following conditions: along the extension direction of the water outlet body 2, the length of the functional water module 4 is less than the length of the first water outlet 220; along the width direction of the water outlet body 2, the width of the functional water module 4 is less than the width of the first water outlet 220. The volume of the water outlet cavity 220 is set to be greater than the volume of the functional water module 4.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet body 20 has a mounting hole 24 communicating with the configuration cavity 23 on one side in the thickness direction. The faucet unit 2 also includes a positioning member 25 installed in the mounting hole 24 and extending into the configuration cavity 23 to position the functional water module 4. The positioning member 25 is used to restrict the movement of the functional water module 4 along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the water outlet body 20 of this embodiment includes a fluid switching part 26. Along the extension direction of the water outlet body 20, the fluid switching part 26 is located on the side of the configuration cavity 22 away from the second water outlet 230 and is arranged on the path of the second water outlet 230 along the extension direction, so as to guide the fluid of the second water outlet 230 to flow out from the first water outlet 220.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the second embodiment of the faucet structure 100a and faucet unit 20a provided in this application. The faucet structure 100a includes an inlet pipe body 1a, a faucet 2a, a valve core (not shown) disposed at the connection between the inlet pipe body 1a and the faucet 2a, and an operating handle 3a for controlling the valve core.

[0071] The faucet 2a includes a faucet body 21a and a faucet unit 20a that are detachably connected along its extension direction. The faucet unit 20a is designed separately from the faucet body 21a, enabling functions such as extension and rotation to adapt to various application scenarios.

[0072] Other structures of the faucet unit 20a in this embodiment can refer to the faucet unit 2 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. Other structures of the water outlet faucet structure 100a in this embodiment can refer to the faucet structure 100 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0073] like Figure 5As shown, the third embodiment of the faucet structure 100b and faucet unit 2b provided in this application are illustrated. The faucet 100b includes an inlet pipe body 1b, a faucet unit 2b, a valve core (not shown) disposed at the connection between the inlet pipe body 1b and the faucet unit 2b, and an operating handle (not shown) for controlling the valve core.

[0074] The faucet unit 2b in this embodiment includes a water outlet body 20b. The main difference between the water outlet body 20b and the water outlet body 20 in the first embodiment is that the water outlet body 20b in this embodiment includes a first body unit 201b and a second body unit 202b that are detachable in the thickness direction. The first body unit 201b is provided with a receiving groove 2010b for receiving the second body unit 202b and a water outlet cavity 22b. The second body unit 202b is provided with a water flow channel 21b.

[0075] The first body unit 201b and the second body unit 202b are provided with mutually cooperating disassembly and assembly structures. The disassembly and assembly structures include a protrusion 221b and a groove 222b that mates with the protrusion 221b, as well as a connector 223b that connects the protrusion 221b and the groove 222b. One of the protrusion 221b and the groove 222b is located in the first body unit 201b, and the other is located in the second body unit 202b.

[0076] During assembly, the functional water module 4 can be first installed in the second body unit 202b, and then the second body unit 202b with the functional water module 4 installed can be installed as a whole in the receiving slot 2010b of the first body unit 201b. Thus, the functional water module 4 does not need to be inserted into the loading cavity 23b of the first outlet 220b, and consequently, the first outlet 220b does not need to be used for the functional water module 4 to pass through, and its size is not limited by the size of the functional water module 4. The first outlet 220b is formed after the first body unit 201b and the second body unit 202b are assembled.

[0077] Other structures of the faucet structure 100b in this embodiment can refer to the faucet structure 100 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. Other structures of the water outlet body 20b in this embodiment can refer to the water outlet body 20a in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the fourth embodiment of the faucet structure 100c and faucet unit 2c provided in this application. The faucet 100c includes an inlet pipe body 1c, a faucet unit 2c, a valve core (not shown) disposed at the connection between the inlet pipe body 1c and the outlet faucet 2c, and an operating handle (not shown) for controlling the valve core.

[0079] The main difference between the faucet unit 2c in this embodiment and the faucet unit 2 in the first embodiment is that the fluid switching part 201c includes a protrusion 5c that protrudes from the lower surface of the water outlet body 20c. The protrusion 5c can guide the direction of water flow and improve the reliability of spray guidance. The lower surface is the surface of the water outlet body 20c along its thickness direction where the first water outlet 220c is provided.

[0080] Other structures of the faucet structure 100c in this embodiment can refer to the faucet structure 100 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. Other structures of the faucet unit 2c in this embodiment can refer to the faucet unit 2 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, the fifth embodiment of the faucet structure 100d and faucet unit 2d provided in this application. The faucet 100d includes an inlet pipe body 1d, an outlet faucet 2d, a valve core (not shown) disposed at the connection between the inlet pipe body 1d and the outlet faucet 2d, and an operating handle (not shown) for controlling the valve core.

[0082] The main difference between the faucet unit 2d in this embodiment and the faucet unit 2c in the fourth embodiment is that the protrusion 5d in this embodiment has a different structural form than the protrusion 5c in the fourth embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the end face of the faucet unit 2c extends in a planar shape towards the water outlet direction to form the protrusion 5c; in this embodiment, the end face of the water outlet body 20d of the faucet unit 2d extends in a stepped shape towards the water outlet direction to form the protrusion 5d, thus using less material.

[0083] The other structures of the faucet structure 100d in this embodiment can refer to the faucet structure 100 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The other structures of the faucet unit 2d in this embodiment can refer to the faucet unit 2 in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "one side", "the other side", "one end", "the other end", "side", "opposite", "four corners", "periphery", "square structure", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the structure referred to has a specific orientation, or is constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0085] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "direct connection," "indirect connection," "fixed connection," "installation," and "assembly" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection.
