[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water faucets, and in particular to a mounting base and a water faucet thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, countertop faucets are generally installed on the external countertop to achieve quick disassembly and assembly. The existing installation methods are mostly to fix the faucet between the fixed base and the countertop through bolts, threads or clamping devices. Although bolts and threads can provide a certain degree of fixed installation, due to differences in the thickness and hardness of the countertop, they often lack adaptability, resulting in the faucet being unable to be firmly installed on the countertop. Especially during use, it is easy to become loose, which not only affects the user experience, but also easily causes the faucet to leak and shorten its service life.

[0003] Obviously, the thickness of the countertop usually varies due to its own characteristics and installation environment. The existing installation base is often only designed for a specific countertop thickness. If the countertop is thinner or thicker, the installation effect will be affected, resulting in the inability to maintain the stability of the faucet. Other installation methods rely on a single bolt connection. As the use time increases, the fastening connection may become loose due to factors such as water flow and vibration, thereby affecting the stability of the faucet.

[0004] In addition, the mounting base on the market needs to be plugged into the countertop mounting hole and the mounting base is exposed. Not only is the installation more cumbersome and inconvenient, with additional steps, but it is also not conducive to the daily use and protection of the mounting base. The complexity of the installation process increases for different types of faucets and different types of countertops. As a result, there are many technical challenges such as cumbersome installation process, insufficient adaptability, and poor protection. With the diversification of consumers' installation needs for countertop faucets and the improvement of convenience requirements, it is far from being able to effectively meet market demand. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting base and a faucet thereof to solve the above-mentioned problem.

Detailed Embodiment

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment

[0030] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 , this embodiment provides a mounting base for mounting a faucet on an external tabletop.

[0031] The mounting base includes a base 1 disposed above the tabletop and a fastener 2 disposed below the tabletop. A screw member 3 is provided on the base 1, and the screw member 3 is connected through between the base 1 and the fastener 2 for adjusting the installation distance therebetween, so that the base 1 is fitted on the upper surface of the tabletop and the fastener 2 is fitted on the lower surface of the tabletop.

[0032] The mounting base further includes a fitting member 4. The fitting member 4 is correspondingly installed and fixed inside the faucet and sleeved between the base 1 and the faucet for mounting and locking the base 1 inside the faucet.

[0033] For the installation base described above, the base 1 is disposed above the tabletop, and the fastener 2 is disposed below the tabletop. An adjustable screw member 3 is connected between the base 1 and the fastener 2, which can accurately adjust the installation distance between the two, so as to ensure that the base 1 firmly adheres to the upper surface of the tabletop, while the fastener 2 closely adheres to the lower surface of the tabletop, effectively preventing loosening during the installation of the faucet, ensuring that the faucet is stably and firmly installed on the tabletop, reducing problems such as water leakage and loosening caused by insecure installation, and the screw member 3 can be adjusted according to different tabletop thicknesses, enabling it to adapt to different tabletop conditions. Whether the tabletop is thick or thin, it can provide effective installation support, and users can flexibly adjust according to actual needs, avoiding the strict requirements for tabletop thickness of traditional installation bases, and improving the versatility and adaptability of the product.

[0034] Among them, the fitting member 4 disposed inside the faucet is used to firmly lock the base 1 to the faucet, preventing the faucet from loosening during use. By providing a stronger fixing force through the fitting member 4, the faucet and the base 1 can be firmly fixed, and further improve the overall stability of the faucet. And through the free adjustment of the screw member 3 and the locking fixation of the fitting member 4, the cumbersome steps and operation requirements can be greatly reduced. Users do not need to use additional auxiliary tools. After the base 1 is locked to the fitting member 4 inside the faucet, only by adjusting the screw member 3 can the installation on the tabletop be completed, greatly improving the installation efficiency and convenience.

[0035] As Figures 3 to 6 shown, in this embodiment, the base 1 includes a cylindrical portion 11 and a stepped portion 12. A space for sleeving the fitting member 4 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 11, and a through hole for the external water pipe to enter and exit is formed on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 11. By sleeving the fitting member 4 on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 11, a tight fit is achieved, enhancing the relative fastening between the faucet and the base 1, and the locking effect between the two, avoiding loosening caused by vibration or water flow changes, thereby improving the overall use safety and long-term stability. Additionally, it is obvious that the through hole opened on the inner peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 11 allows the water pipe to freely pass through, ensuring a smoother connection between the water pipe and the valve core inside the faucet.

[0036] Preferably, the cylindrical portion 11 and the stepped portion 12 are an integral part, and the stepped portion 12 is located outside the lower end of the cylindrical portion 11. To make the structure of the base 1 more stable, the stepped portion 12 not only increases the contact area between the base 1 and the tabletop, but also enhances the stability of the base 1, avoiding phenomena such as tilting or instability during installation. And the setting of the integral part not only simplifies the overall structure of the base 1, but also reduces the complexity of manufacturing and assembly.

[0037] Specifically, the step portion 12 abuts against the inner wall of the faucet, and is used to relatively separate the fitting 4 above the step portion 12. The bottom surface of the step portion 12 is smoothly connected with the bottom surface of the faucet to fit and be fixed to the upper surface of the countertop. On the one hand, the step portion 12 stabilizes the faucet by abutting against the inner wall of the faucet, further ensuring a firm connection between the faucet and the base 1, so that the faucet will not be displaced or loosened due to external force or vibration. On the other hand, the step portion 12 relatively separates the fitting 4 above it, effectively defining the correct position of the fitting 4. The step portion 12 provides a clear installation boundary for the fitting 4, reduces the misalignment or mismatch of components caused by installation errors, and thus ensures installation accuracy.

[0038] Furthermore, the entire base 1 is located inside the faucet, and only the bottom surface of the step portion 12 is smoothly connected to the bottom surface of the faucet, thereby ensuring a smooth transition between the faucet and the base 1, and providing a better sealing effect to prevent water from leaking through the joints. In particular, the mounting base and the faucet can be fully adapted and fit to the upper surface of the countertop, which not only enhances the stability of the faucet, but also ensures that the faucet can be completely flush with the upper surface of the countertop after installation, thereby improving the neatness of the overall appearance.

[0039] In this embodiment, at least two threaded holes are arranged opposite to each other on the inner peripheral platform 13 of the inner peripheral side of the barrel 11, and each threaded hole is provided with a corresponding screw member 3. It can be understood that the provision of multiple threaded holes and the provision of screw members 3 can provide a stronger fixing force to ensure that the faucet is firmly fixed during the installation process, and the screw member 3 on each threaded hole can be adjusted by rotation to accurately control the degree of fastening between the threaded hole and the base 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the faucet.

[0040] Furthermore, the fastener 2 is configured as a C-shaped locking ring, and a mounting hole is provided on the C-shaped locking ring for being screwed to the screw member 3, and the C-shaped locking ring is located in the lower projection area of ​​the step portion 12. Obviously, the mounting hole and the screw member 3 are threadedly connected. Among them, the C-shaped locking ring, as a high-strength locking element, can provide uniform pressure distribution around the installation part of the faucet, effectively preventing the faucet from being displaced during use. The shape of the C-shaped ring enables it to firmly clamp the lower surface of the countertop and provide a more stable connection force, which helps to improve the shock resistance and anti-loosening ability of the faucet after installation.

[0041] Therefore, there is no need for too many accessories and complicated steps during installation, which can greatly simplify the installation process. Through the C-shaped locking ring, the installer only needs to slide it into the appropriate position, and then use the screw member 3 to connect with the installation hole and tighten it to complete the installation, making the installation process more efficient, saving time and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0042] Moreover, the C-shaped locking ring is configured to be located in the projection area below the stepped portion 12, which not only optimizes the overall spatial layout but also prevents the base 1 from overly occupying the tabletop space. The position setting of the C-shaped locking ring makes the mounting base more compact and concise on the tabletop, helping to save limited space and enhance the aesthetic appearance.

[0043] Preferably, a stepped surface 21 that is recessed downward is provided on the C-shaped locking ring. In addition, a gasket 5 is disposed on the circumferential edge platform 13 of the inner ring and on the stepped surface 21, and each gasket 5 is sequentially inserted and screwed with the screw member 3. Moreover, the gasket 5 is specifically attached to the entire tabletop and end face. The downwardly recessed stepped surface 21 provides an additional contact surface, and the gasket 5 plays a buffering role in this area. When the faucet is subjected to external vibrations or impacts during use, the stepped surface 21 and the gasket 5 can effectively disperse the transmission of these forces, reducing friction or damage between the faucet and the base. Also, the gaskets 5 disposed on the circumferential edge platform 13 of the inner ring of the C-shaped locking ring and on the stepped surface 21 can evenly distribute the transmission of force when screwed with the screw member 3, making the connection between the faucet and the base tighter and more stable.

[0044] In this embodiment, a pipe kit 6 is inserted and installed on the circumferential edge platform 13 of the inner ring. The pipe kit 6 extends longitudinally and correspondingly defines another channel for the external water pipe to enter and exit. Preferably, the pull-out pipe of the faucet enters and exits through the channel, so that different inlet and outlet water pipes can be distinguished and defined. Since the pipe kit 6 is directly integrated into the mounting base, it avoids the trouble of additionally connecting external water pipe interfaces during the installation process, greatly improving the installation convenience and efficiency.

[0045] As Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the fitting 4 is configured as an inner nested part. Corresponding locking ribs 41 are provided on the inner wall of the inner nested part, and corresponding guiding grooves 14 that are in mating positions with the locking ribs 41 are provided on the outer wall of the cylinder part 11. The guiding grooves 14 are configured to allow the base 1 to rotate axially relative to the locking position or rotate along the locking position to the unlocking position after the locking ribs 41 are inserted in the mating positions. Thus, through the precise cooperation of the locking ribs 41 and the guiding grooves 14, the base 1 can be easily inserted and locked in the fitting 4 of the faucet, greatly simplifying the installation process of the faucet, enabling the user to quickly and accurately fix the faucet on the installation base. After the guiding grooves 14 and the locking ribs 41 are inserted in the mating positions, the base 1 can rotate axially relative to the locking position along the specified path or rotate along this path to the unlocking position, providing a more stable and reliable connection. When in the locking position, the locking ribs 41 can prevent loosening or displacement between the faucet and the base, thus effectively ensuring the stability of the faucet during long-term use. At the unlocking position, it is convenient for the quick detachment between the locking ribs 41 and the guiding grooves 14.

[0046] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the installation base further includes a plug-in part 7. A through hole is provided on the inner nested part, and another through hole is provided on the cylinder part 11. At the locking position, the two through holes are in alignment for inserting the plug-in part 7. The plug-in part 7 not only simplifies the installation and disassembly operations, but also further enhances the fixing force between the faucet and the installation base, ensuring firmness and stability during long-term use.

[0047] Among them, the plug-in part 7 includes an expansion sleeve 71 and a screw 72 passing through the expansion sleeve 71. The plug-in part 7 is inserted into the two through holes along another through hole of the faucet, so that the screw 72 is pressed into the expansion sleeve 71 for locking and fixing. After the plug-in part 7 is inserted into each through hole, the screw 72 is pressed into the expansion sleeve 71, causing the expansion sleeve 71 to expand under force and firmly fixing the plug-in part 7, providing a stronger locking force to ensure that the plug-in part 7 will not loosen or fall off during the installation process of the faucet. Moreover, the expansion effect of the expansion sleeve 71 can ensure that the plug-in part 7 fits tightly in the through hole, forming a stronger and more powerful connection.

[0048] The working principle of the installation base is described as follows:

[0049] When installing the faucet, screw the screw member 3 through the threaded hole of the base 1. Install the pipe kit 6 and the gasket 5 on the inner peripheral table 13 of the base 1 respectively. Install the fitting member 4 inside the faucet, push and tighten the base 1 until it is installed and locked inside the fitting member 4 to complete the installation preparation of the upper part on the table. Start the installation of the lower part on the table. Pass the screw member 3 through the through hole of the tabletop, and thread the installation hole opened in the fastener 2 with the screw member 3 to ensure that the fastener 2 is adjusted and moved to fit and fix the base 1 on the tabletop.

[0050] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment further provides a faucet, including a faucet main body A and the above-mentioned installation base. Among them, the base 1 is locked and fixed in the fitting member 4 installed in the faucet main body A, and the bottom surface of the base 1 is arranged flush with the bottom surface of the faucet main body A on the upper surface of the tabletop.

[0051] In the above, the base 1 is locked and combined with the fitting member 4 in the faucet main body A to ensure the stability and firmness between the faucet and the base. At the same time, it improves the simplicity of the installation process, the aesthetics of the appearance and the reliability of the sealing performance. It not only simplifies the installation and disassembly process, but also ensures the use stability of the faucet, can meet the needs of various tabletops and faucet models, and reduces the production and maintenance costs.

[0052] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
