Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of faucets, and in particular to a faucet water-saving structure. Background Art
[0002] Faucets are common water source devices in homes and public places, used to control the opening and closing of water flow. In daily life, faucets are widely used in kitchens, bathrooms and public places, providing people with a convenient way to use water resources.
[0003] The current faucet is usually composed of components such as water supply pipes, valves and nozzles. When the faucet knob is turned, the valve will open, allowing water to flow out of the nozzle; conversely, when the knob is closed, the valve will close and stop the water flow. This basic principle is to adjust and control the water flow by controlling the opening and closing of the valve.
[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, since the control mechanism of the faucet is relatively simple, children can often easily turn on the faucet and inadvertently let the water continue to flow out, causing unnecessary waste of water resources, which not only increases the water bill expenditure of households and public places, but also has an adverse impact on the environment. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to improve the problem of water resource waste caused by the faucet being able to be easily opened, the present application provides a faucet water-saving structure.
[0006] The present application provides a faucet water-saving structure that adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A faucet water-saving structure comprises a water supply pipe and a faucet, and also comprises a water-saving component and a control component arranged between the water supply pipe and the faucet. The water-saving component is used to control the on-off of water flow between the water supply pipe and the faucet, and the control component is used to control the opening or closing of the water-saving component.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when a child wants to turn on the faucet, he needs to first operate the control component to turn on the water-saving component to allow water to flow between the water supply pipe and the faucet, and then rotate the faucet knob to turn on or adjust the water flow, thereby increasing the difficulty for the child to turn on the faucet and reducing the waste of water resources.
[0009] Optionally, the water-saving component includes a water-saving box body and a water-saving piston, the water-saving piston is slidably connected to the water-saving box body, and a water hole is opened on the water-saving box body, and the water hole can be connected to a water supply pipe and a faucet.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the faucet needs to be used, the water-saving piston is slid to connect the water hole with the water supply pipe and the faucet, and the faucet can discharge water normally. After using the faucet, the water-saving piston is slid to completely block the water hole, so that the water supply pipe and the faucet are separated, thereby preventing the faucet from discharging water, thereby reducing the possibility of children opening the faucet.
[0011] Optionally, the water-saving piston moves in the vertical direction, and when the water-saving piston is at the lowest point, the water hole is in a completely blocked state.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertically sliding water-saving piston allows the water-saving piston to naturally drop to the lowest point under the action of gravity, which is convenient for covering the water hole. When a child wants to open the water hole, he needs to overcome the weight of the water-saving piston, which further increases the difficulty for the child to open the faucet.
[0013] Optionally, the control assembly includes a slide rod and a locking component, one end of the slide rod is connected to the top of the water-saving piston, and the other end extends out of the water-saving box body, and the locking component is used to lock or release the water-saving piston.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water-saving component is opened or closed by the control component, the locking component is controlled to release the water-saving piston, and the slide rod leaks out of one end of the water-saving box body, which is convenient for the user to control the water-saving piston.
[0015] Optionally, the locking component includes a locking rod and a locking spring, the locking rod is slidably connected to the water-saving box body, and the sliding direction is close to or away from the water-saving piston. The water-saving piston is provided with a plurality of holes. The locking spring is arranged between the locking rod and the water-saving box body, and is used to drive the locking rod to be plugged into the hole.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the locking component releases the water-saving piston, the locking rod is pulled to disengage the locking rod from the socket. At this time, the locking spring is in a stretched state. When the water-saving piston moves to the desired position, the locking rod is released, so that the locking rod is connected to another socket under the action of the locking spring, thereby realizing the locking of multiple water-saving pistons, and the operation is relatively convenient.
[0017] Optionally, one end of the insertion hole close to the locking rod is provided with a chamfer.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the locking rod is inserted into the insertion hole, the chamfer can guide the locking rod, making it easier to insert the locking rod into the insertion hole.
[0019] Optionally, an operating plate is provided on the top of the sliding rod, and when the water-saving piston is at the lowest point, the operating plate fits against the top of the water-saving box body.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when sliding the slide rod, the operating panel can increase the operating area, which is convenient for the user to hold. When the water-saving piston is at the lowest point, that is, the water hole is in a closed state, the operating panel fits with the top of the water-saving box body, further increasing the difficulty for children to open the water hole.
[0021] Optionally, an ear plate is provided at one end of the operating panel away from the faucet, the ear plate is movably fitted with a side of the water-saving box away from the faucet, and an arc-shaped notch is provided on the ear plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water-saving piston slides upward from the lowest position, the operating panel is in contact with the top of the water-saving box body, making it difficult to separate the operating panel from the water-saving box body. The ear plate and the arc-shaped groove on the ear plate make it easy for the user to separate the operating panel from the water-saving box body, and the ear plate is arranged on the side of the water-saving box body away from the faucet, which can reduce the possibility of children touching the ear plate.
[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. By setting a water-saving box, a water-saving piston and a control component, when the faucet needs to be used, the water-saving piston is controlled by the control component to slide in the water-saving box, so that the water hole on the water-saving piston is connected with the water supply pipe and the faucet; when the faucet is finished, the water-saving piston is controlled by the control component to slide, so that the water hole is blocked, and at this time, it is difficult for children to operate the faucet knob to cause water waste;
[0025] 2. By setting the slide rod, the operating panel, the ear plate and the locking component, when the water-saving component is turned on, the water-saving piston is released through the locking component, and then the operating panel is separated from the water-saving box body through the ear plate, so that it is easy to control the operating panel to drive the slide rod to slide. The opening steps are more difficult for children, thereby reducing the possibility of children turning on the faucet and causing water waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0032] The present application embodiment discloses a faucet water-saving structure. Figure 1 The faucet water-saving structure includes a water supply pipe 1 and a faucet 2, and a water-saving component 3 and a control component 4 arranged between the water supply pipe 1 and the faucet 2. When the faucet 2 is used, the water-saving component 3 is controlled by the control component 4 to isolate the water supply pipe 1 from the faucet 2, thereby reducing the possibility that a child turns the knob of the faucet 2 to make the faucet 2 discharge water, resulting in a waste of water resources.
[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The water-saving assembly 3 includes a water-saving box 31 and a water-saving piston 32. The water-saving box 31 is a rectangular box. Through holes are provided on both sides of the water-saving box 31. The diameter of the through holes is the same as the diameter of the water supply pipe 1 and the water inlet diameter of the faucet 2. The water-saving piston 32 is a rectangular block. The cross section of the water-saving piston 32 is the same as the cross section size and shape inside the water-saving box 31. The water-saving piston 32 is slidably connected to the water-saving box 31 in the vertical direction. A water-through hole 321 is provided on the water-saving piston 32. The diameter of the water-through hole 321 is the same as the diameter of the water supply pipe 1 and the water inlet diameter of the faucet 2. A rubber ring (not shown in the figure) is embedded in the inner wall of the water-saving box 31 near the through hole. The rubber ring is always pressed against the water-saving piston 32, thereby improving the sealing between the water-saving box 31 and the water-saving piston 32. When the water-saving piston 32 is at the highest point, the water hole 321 is coaxially connected with the water supply pipe 1 and the water inlet of the faucet 2 . When the water-saving piston 32 is at the lowest point, the water hole 321 is completely blocked by the inner wall of the water-saving box body 31 .
[0034] When the faucet 2 needs to be turned on, the water-saving piston 32 is controlled to move upward so that the water hole 321 is connected to the faucet 2 until the water-saving piston 32 moves to the highest point and the water flow rate reaches the maximum value; when the faucet 2 needs to be turned off, the water-saving piston 32 is controlled to move to the lowest point so that the water hole 321 is completely blocked, thereby turning off the water supply to the faucet 2.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The control assembly 4 includes a slide bar 41 and a locking component 42. The slide bar 41 is a round bar, one end of which is welded to the top of the water-saving piston 32, and the other end extends out of the top of the water-saving box 31, so that the user of the faucet 2 can control the sliding of the water-saving piston 32 through the slide bar 41. The locking component 42 is arranged on one side of the water-saving box 31, and can lock the position of the water-saving piston 32, thereby increasing the difficulty for children to unlock the water-saving piston 32, thereby reducing the possibility of children opening the faucet 2 and causing water waste.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 The locking component 42 includes a locking rod 421 and a locking spring 422. The locking rod 421 is a round rod, and one end of the locking rod penetrates into the water-saving box 31, and the other end is located outside the water-saving box 31. The locking rod 421 is slidably connected with the water-saving box 31, and the sliding direction is horizontal. A connecting ring is welded to one end of the locking rod 421 located outside the water-saving box 31. The locking spring 422 is sleeved on the locking rod 421, and one end of the locking spring 422 is welded to the water-saving box 31, and the other end is welded to the connecting ring. The locking spring 422 can drive the locking rod 421 to move close to the water-saving piston 32. A plurality of plug holes 322 are provided on one side of the water-saving piston 32 close to the locking rod 421. The plurality of plug holes 322 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction, and the locking rod 421 can be plugged into all of the plurality of plug holes 322. A chamfer 323 is provided at one end of the insertion hole 322 close to the insertion rod. The chamfer 323 can guide the locking rod 421 to facilitate the locking rod 421 to be inserted into the insertion hole 322 .
[0037] In this embodiment, two sockets 322 are provided, and they correspond to the highest position and the lowest position of the water-saving piston 32. As an alternative embodiment, three, four or five sockets 322 may also be provided. By inserting the locking rod 421 into different sockets 322, the blocked area of the water hole 321 can be controlled, thereby controlling the flow rate of the faucet 2. For different application scenarios, different flow rates of the faucet 2 can be controlled, thereby further achieving the purpose of water saving.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 An operating panel 411 is provided at one end of the slide bar 41 away from the water-saving housing 31. The operating panel 411 is a rectangular plate, and its area is smaller than the top surface area of the water-saving housing 31. The operating panel 411 is welded to the top of the slide bar 41. The user of the faucet 2 can control the movement of the slide bar 41 through the operating panel 411. When the water-saving piston 32 is at the lowest point, the operating panel 411 fits the top surface of the water-saving housing 31, and under the action of gravity, the operating panel 411 and the top surface of the water-saving housing 31 are in a tight state, which further increases the difficulty for children to control the operating panel 411 to separate from the top surface of the water-saving housing 31.
[0039] The end of the operating panel 411 away from the faucet 2 is integrally formed with an ear plate 412, which is a rectangular plate. When the water-saving piston 32 gradually approaches the lowest point, the ear plate 412 fits with the side of the water-saving box 31 away from the faucet 2, thereby increasing the friction when the ear plate 412 moves upward, further increasing the difficulty for children to slide the operating panel 411. An arc-shaped notch 413 is provided at the bottom of the ear plate 412, which can facilitate the user of the faucet 2 to press the ear plate 412 to separate the operating panel 411 from the water-saving box 31.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a threaded male head 5 is welded to one end of the water-saving box 31, and a threaded female head 6 is rotatably connected to the other end, the end of the water supply pipe 1 is rotatably connected to the threaded female head 6, and the water inlet of the faucet 2 is welded to the threaded male head 5, and the sizes of the threaded male head 5 and the threaded female head 6 are mutually adapted, and a gasket 7 is arranged between the threaded male head 5 and the threaded female head 6 to enhance the sealing of the connection part. Through the use of the threaded male head 5 and the threaded female head 6, the water-saving box 31 is detachably connected to the water supply pipe 1 and the faucet 2, and the installation and disassembly are relatively convenient, so that it is convenient to replace or repair the water-saving device.
[0041] The implementation principle of the water-saving device of the faucet 2 in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: a water-saving box 31 and a water-saving piston 32 with a water hole 321 are arranged between the water supply pipe 1 and the faucet 2, and the faucet 2 and the water supply pipe 1 are connected and disconnected by controlling the blocking or opening of the water hole 321 by sliding the water-saving piston 32, and the locking or releasing of the water-saving piston 32 is controlled by the locking component 42, thereby increasing the difficulty of the faucet 2 to pass the water flow and reducing the possibility of a child opening the faucet 2 and causing a waste of water resources.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
