When the rotating sleeve rotates, the connecting channel 22 is connected to the water supply channel 11 through at least one water outlet hole. The above embodiments can also be applied to the connection structure between the rotating structure 2 and the water outlet 3. The water outlet 3 is provided with an axial tube and connected to the rotating sleeve of the rotating structure 2. The specific scheme will not be explained in detail here.

[0038] See also Figure 2 The angle between the rotation axis X of the water outlet 3 and the rotation axis Z of the rotating structure 2 is generally set at 30 degrees to 90 degrees, and can be specifically 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, etc. Preferably, the angle between the rotation axis of the water outlet 3 and the rotation axis of the rotating structure 2 is set to 90 degrees, and the rotation angle range of the water outlet is larger.

[0039] In the technical solution of the present invention, the faucet body 1 and the water spout 3 are structurally connected and water-connected through the rotating structure 2. The user can rotate the water spout 3 without affecting the normal water discharge of the faucet 100. More importantly, the water spout 3 can rotate in one direction relative to the faucet body 1 together with the rotating structure 2, and can also rotate in another direction relative to the rotating structure 2 and the faucet body 1. In this way, the water spout 3 can be rotated in any direction with higher flexibility, which is convenient for users to use. Moreover, when the user's head accidentally touches the water spout 3 during the process of washing his face and hair, the water spout 3 can be rotated to avoid causing injuries to the user's head.

[0040] In some embodiments of the utility model, the rotating structure 2 includes a rotating seat 21, the rotating seat 21 has an inlet pipe 211 and an outlet pipe 212, the connecting channel 22 is connected between the inlet pipe 211 and the outlet pipe 212, the inlet pipe 211 is rotatably matched with the rotating groove 12, the outlet pipe axis of the outlet pipe 212 is set at an angle with the rotation axis of the inlet pipe 211, and the outlet pipe of the outlet pipe 212 is rotatably connected with the water outlet nozzle 3, so that the rotation axis of the water outlet nozzle is at an angle with the rotation axis of the rotating structure 2.

[0041] In some embodiments of the utility model, the rotating structure 2 also includes a damping member 23, which is fixed to the rotating seat 21; the water outlet 3 includes a main body 31 and a T-shaped tube 32, the main body 31 is provided with the water outlet channel 311, the T-shaped tube 32 includes a sleeve 322 and a water pipe 323, one end of the water pipe 323 is connected to the side of the sleeve, one port of the sleeve 322 is rotatably connected and blocked with the damping member 23, and the other port of the sleeve 322 is rotatably sleeved and connected with the water outlet pipe 212.

[0042] Through the above scheme, the water spout 3 will have a certain friction resistance when rotating relative to the rotating structure 2. When the user rotates the water spout 32 to the target position and lets go, the water spout 32 can be positioned at the target position and not move, preventing the water spout 3 from deviating from the target position under the action of its own weight and the impact of water flow, which is convenient for users to use.

[0043] There are many ways to connect the water outlet 3 and the water pipe 323, such as threaded connection, interference fit, etc. In some embodiments of the utility model, the pipe wall of the water pipe 323 is provided with a first positioning hole 324, the body 31 is provided with a connecting pipe 312 connected to the water outlet channel 311, the pipe wall of the connecting pipe 312 is provided with a second positioning hole 313, and the screw connection is assembled in the first positioning hole 324 and the second positioning hole 313 to fix the connecting pipe 312 and the water pipe 323.

[0046] In other embodiments of the utility model, the rotating seat 21 includes a seat body 201, the seat body 201 is formed with the water inlet pipe 211, and the side of the seat body 201 facing away from the rotating groove 12 is also provided with a first fixing plate 24 and a second fixing plate 25 spaced apart from each other, the first fixing plate 24 is provided with a first fixing hole 241, and the second fixing plate 25 is provided with a second fixing hole 251, one end of the water outlet pipe 212 is connected to the water inlet pipe 211, and the other end can be detachably assembled in the first fixing hole 241, the damping member 23 is installed on the second fixing plate 25, and the damping member 23 partially passes through the second fixing hole 251 and cooperates with the sleeve 322.

[0047] Through the above scheme, the first fixing plate 24 and the second fixing plate 25 are limited at the two ends of the sleeve 322, and are respectively assembled with the damping member 23 and the water outlet pipe 212, so that the structure is highly stable. Moreover, during assembly, the sleeve 322 can be first aligned between the first fixing plate 24 and the second fixing plate 25, and then the damping member 23 and the water outlet pipe 212 can be respectively assembled from both sides, so that the assembly is highly convenient.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet port of the water inlet pipe 211 is connected to the first fixing plate 24, and the water outlet port of the water inlet pipe 211 faces away from the side of the second fixing plate 25. In this way, when assembling the water outlet pipe 212, the two ports can be respectively aligned and plugged with the first fixing hole 241 and the water outlet port of the water inlet pipe 211 from one side of the first fixing plate 24, which is convenient for assembly.

[0050] In some embodiments of the utility model, the faucet 100 further includes a protective cover 5, which is detachably mounted on the rotating structure 2, and a avoidance hole 511 is provided on the top of the protective cover 5, through which the water spout 3 is partially connected to the rotating structure 2. The protective cover 5 can prevent the danger of pinching hands and hair at the rotating connection part, and can also protect the rotating structure 2 from external factors, and the avoidance hole 511 avoids the connection structure between the water spout 3 and the rotating structure 2, so that the normal rotation of the water spout 3 is not affected.

[0051] There are many ways to detachably mount the protective cover 5 on the rotating structure 2, such as screw fixing, clamping, threaded connection, etc. In some embodiments of the utility model, the inner side wall of the protective cover 5 is provided with a clamping protrusion 521, and the rotating structure 2 is provided with an elastic buckle 26, and the elastic buckle 26 is clamped with the clamping protrusion 521.

[0054] The size of the avoidance hole 511 limits the vertical rotation angle of the water outlet 3. Figure 8 Generally, the up and down rotation angle of the water outlet 3 is limited to not less than 15 degrees, and can be specifically 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, etc., to ensure that the rotation range of the water outlet 3 is large enough for user convenience.
