Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and particularly to an extended faucet Background Art

[0002] Currently, kitchen sinks, washbasins, etc. on the market usually have only one reserved faucet installation opening. If a user needs to install multiple faucets with different functions, such as a water purifier faucet, a cup washer faucet, etc., additional holes need to be drilled on the countertop, which not only damages the integrity of the countertop but also increases the installation difficulty and cost. To solve the problem of multi-source water output, the prior art document CN119687231A discloses a faucet structure that sets a first water outlet pipe and a second water outlet pipe on the bottom pipe, as well as corresponding first and second water supply waterways, realizing the integrated water output of dual water sources. However, this technical solution still has the following defects: 1. Complex structure and high cost: This faucet structure requires precise machining of two sets of independent water supply waterways on the same bottom pipe and the installation of two rotatable water outlet pipes. Such a complex structural design will inevitably lead to great difficulty in mold development and high requirements for production processes, ultimately resulting in a significant increase in product cost. At the same time, the complex structure also means a higher failure rate and a corresponding increase in later maintenance costs.

[0003] 2. Limited number of water outlet pipes and insufficient functional expandability: Although this document discloses the design of dual water outlet pipes, its technical solution is essentially an improvement around a single faucet body and does not break through the structural limitations of a single bottom pipe. Limited by the size and internal space of the bottom pipe, the number of water outlet pipes that can be set is very limited, making it difficult to truly achieve flexible expansion of multiple faucets and unable to meet the growing diverse water use needs of users. For example, if a user wants to install more functional faucets such as a water purifier faucet and a cup washer faucet at the same time, this technical solution cannot meet the requirements.

[0004] 3. Limited flexibility in use: Although the water outlet pipes of this faucet structure can rotate, the range of rotation and the flexibility of angle adjustment are limited, and there is still room for improvement in terms of use convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an extended faucet.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: An extended faucet includes a base, an extended faucet, and a water supply mechanism. One side of the base is provided with an assembly port, and one or more extended faucets can be installed on the other side. The water supply mechanism is provided with one or more corresponding to the number of extended faucets. The water supply mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the base, and one end of the water supply mechanism is connected to a water supply pipe, and the other end is connected to the extended faucet. The base is rotatably installed at the connection at the bottom of the original faucet through the assembly port.

[0007] In the present invention, the water supply mechanism includes a water inlet assembly, a connecting pipe, and a fastener. The water inlet assembly passes through the base from bottom to top and is hermetically connected to the extended faucet. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water inlet assembly, and the other end extends to one side to the assembly port and then extends downward to be connected to the water supply pipe. The fastener passes through the base from bottom to top and is tightly connected to the extended faucet. There are two fasteners, and the two fasteners are respectively arranged on both sides of the water inlet assembly.

[0008] Further, the water inlet assembly includes a connecting seat and a sealing ring. The connecting seat includes an integrally formed limiting portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is located above the limiting portion, and the diameter of the connecting portion is smaller than that of the limiting portion. A sealing groove is provided on the connecting portion, and the sealing ring is sleeved in the sealing groove. The connecting pipe is connected to the limiting portion.

[0009] Further, limiting grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the limiting portion. After the two fasteners are tightened, they abut against the limiting grooves on both sides to limit the water inlet assembly.

[0010] In the present invention, a buckle is further provided at the bottom of the base. The connecting pipe of the water supply mechanism is stuck in the buckle for limiting. A bottom plate is further provided at the bottom of the base, and the bottom plate is in interference fit with the base.

[0011] Further, mounting hole positions adapted to the contour of the water supply mechanism are further provided on the bottom plate. When the bottom plate is fitted with the base, the water supply mechanism is located in the mounting hole positions.

[0012] In the present invention, the extended faucet includes a valve body and a water guide pipe. The bottom of the valve body is connected to the water supply mechanism, and the bottom of the water guide pipe is rotatably installed on the top of the valve body.

[0013] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: Adopting a split base, an extended faucet and a water supply mechanism, it can realize independent control of multiple water sources without modifying the countertop, significantly reducing the installation cost and construction difficulty; through the design of a rotatable base and a multi-through-hole layout, it breaks through the limitation of the traditional single-bottom pipe structure, supports increasing or decreasing the number of extended faucets as needed, and meets the diverse water usage scenario requirements such as purifying water and washing cups; the rotational cooperation between the water guide pipe and the valve body can achieve 360° dead-angle-free water outlet adjustment, greatly improving the usability. While simplifying the structure to reduce the manufacturing cost, the present invention endows the product with strong expandability through the standardized interface design, providing an economical and efficient solution for the upgrade of the kitchen water system.
