[0002] In some specific outdoor places, it has become a common practice to install faucets on the ground. These scenes include but are not limited to public green spaces, private courtyards, large gardens, and agricultural irrigation areas. These ground-mounted faucets are uniquely designed to meet various outdoor water needs and ensure the convenience and practicality of operation. For example: in public green spaces such as parks and squares, ground faucets are usually installed in places that are easily accessible and do not affect pedestrian traffic. They provide gardeners with convenient irrigation tools, making green space maintenance more efficient. At the same time, these faucets may also be used by citizens in specific areas, such as pet drinking water, cleaning bicycles, etc. In the courtyards and gardens of private homes, ground faucets are a great helper for gardening enthusiasts. They can be installed in the corners of the garden, next to the flower beds, or on the edge of the lawn, so that they can water plants, fertilize or carry out other gardening activities at any time. In addition, some families will install ground faucets next to the swimming pool for cleaning and maintenance of swimming pool facilities. In the cold winter, the outdoor temperature can often reach below zero, and outdoor water pipes and faucets often freeze. They have to wait for the temperature to rise and the ice to melt before they can be used, which is very inconvenient.
