[0036] Reference Figure 1 The faucet conveniently installed on the countertop of the utility model embodiment comprises a faucet installation structure 1, a faucet seat shell 2 and a faucet pipeline 3. The installation platform 100 is fixedly connected with the faucet seat shell 2, the faucet seat shell 2 is fixed on the countertop, the top of the faucet seat shell 2 is connected with the faucet pipeline 3, and the faucet pipeline 3 is connected with the water pipe 110 through the water channel 130, wherein, with reference to Figure 2The faucet mounting structure 1 includes a mounting platform 100, a bottom supporting mechanism 200 and a connecting member 300; a waterway 130 is provided through the mounting platform 100 from top to bottom, a water pipe 110 is connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 100, and the water pipe 110 is communicated with the waterway 130; the bottom supporting mechanism 200 includes two abutting blocks 210, the abutting blocks 210 have connecting ends, and the two connecting ends are rotatably connected so that the two abutting blocks 210 can rotate upward relatively, wherein the two abutting blocks 210 can rotate relatively so that the two abutting blocks 210 are at an angle, or the two abutting blocks 210 are collinear; the connecting member 300 is movably connected to the bottom supporting mechanism 200 and the mounting platform 100, respectively, and is arranged between the bottom supporting mechanism 200 and the mounting platform 100; wherein the bottom supporting mechanism 200 is located below the mounting platform 100, and the connecting member 300 can be movable to adjust the distance between the bottom supporting mechanism 200 and the mounting platform 100.

[0037] In actual use, the water pipe 110 is used to connect to the tap water source and transport tap water. The tap water passes through the water pipe 110, the water channel 130 in the mounting platform 100, the faucet seat housing 2 and the faucet pipeline 3 in sequence. Specifically, a valve body should be installed inside the faucet seat housing 2 to control the switch of the water flow. This technology belongs to the conventional technology in this field and is not described in detail here. The mounting platform 100 is used to install the internal structural parts of the faucet such as the valve body, and is also used to pre-fix the overall position of the faucet. In the process of installing the mounting platform 100 and pre-fixing the faucet position, the following installation process is involved:

[0038] 1. Rotate one of the abutting blocks 210 so that the two abutting blocks 210 are at an angle;

[0039] 2. Insert the bottom support mechanism 200 into the hole of the table top, so that the bottom support mechanism 200 is located below the table top, and at the same time, the mounting platform 100 is located below the table top;

[0040] 3. Move the mounting platform 100 and the bottom support mechanism 200 on the connecting member 300 so that the mounting platform 100 and the bottom support mechanism 200 can just clamp the entire table (located at Figure 2 ) in the M area;

[0041] 4. Install the remaining structures of the faucet, such as the faucet seat housing 2 and the faucet pipe 3.

[0042] In summary, the faucet mounting structure 1 is inserted from the top of the countertop so that the mounting platform 100 and the bottom supporting mechanism 200 are respectively above and below the countertop, and then the distance between the mounting platform 100 and the bottom supporting mechanism 200 is adjusted so that the faucet mounting structure 1 is clamped to the countertop, making it easier for the user to install the entire faucet.

[0043] In actual use, refer to Figure 3and Figure 4 , the maximum width of the abutment block 210 in the coplanar state (the abutment block 210 is arranged horizontally) is much larger than the width of the hole of the table. When the bottom support mechanism 200 is located at the bottom of the table and the abutment block 210 is in the coplanar state, the bottom support mechanism 200 can be abutted against the bottom of the table and matched with the mounting table 100 abutted against the upper surface of the table for pre-fixation; and referring to Figure 5 The two abutment blocks 210 in an angled state can greatly reduce the maximum width of the entire bottom support mechanism 200, so that it can be inserted into the hole of the table top, making it easy to insert the bottom support mechanism 200 from the upper end to the lower end of the table top. There is no need for users to install and fix the bottom support mechanism 200 at the lower end of the table top, thereby improving convenience.

[0044] It should be mentioned that in order to completely avoid the need for installers to install the entire faucet from below, refer to Figure 2 The connecting member 300 is a long columnar bolt, the mounting platform 100 is penetrated by a first through hole 120, one of the abutment blocks 210 is penetrated by a second through hole 213, the first through hole 120 and the second through hole 213 are arranged correspondingly, the connecting member 300 is inserted into the first through hole 120 and the second through hole 213 from top to bottom in sequence, the bottom support mechanism 200 and the mounting platform 100 can and can only move along the length direction of the connecting member 300, wherein the inner wall of the first through hole 120 is provided with a first thread, and the inner wall of the second through hole 213 is provided with a second thread, the first thread and the second thread have opposite rotation directions, and the bolt is engaged with the first thread and the second thread.

[0045] In step 3 of the above working process, specifically, after completing steps 1 and 2, the mounting table 100 and the bottom supporting mechanism 200 are respectively located above and below the table top. By rotating the screw, the mounting table 100 and the bottom supporting mechanism 200 are moved toward each other, and the mounting table 100 and the bottom supporting mechanism 200 are driven to be clamped and fixed from the top and bottom of the table top, respectively, so that the table top is clamped in the M area, which is convenient for installing the remaining components.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to constrain the mounting platform 100 and the bottom support mechanism 200 to move only along the axial direction of the bolt, limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the abutment block 210 connected to the connecting piece 300, and a water pipe 110 is embedded in each limiting groove. The water pipe 110 is parallel to the connecting piece 300, and the water pipe 110 is used as a limiting piece, so that the bottom support mechanism 200 can and can only be lifted and lowered along the bolt. At the same time, since the mounting platform 100 is located on the table top, the mounting platform 100 can be directly pressed by hand, and the bottom support mechanism 200 can be moved upward through the principle of relative motion, and be clamped and fixed on the table top with the mounting platform 100. In order to limit the bolt, a positioning groove 121 is provided on the upper end surface of the mounting platform 100, and the nut of the bolt is embedded in the positioning groove 121.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 The two abutment blocks 210 of the bottom support mechanism 200 include a first abutment block 210A and a second abutment block 210B. Connecting pieces 211 are respectively provided on both sides of the connecting end of the first abutment block 210A, and the connecting end of the second abutment block 210B is embedded between the two connecting pieces 211, and the connecting end of the second abutment block 210B is rotatably connected to the two connecting pieces 211 on both sides, so that the first abutment block 210A and the second abutment block 210B can rotate relative to each other. Specifically, a rotating shaft 212 is inserted between the connecting piece 211 of the first abutment block 210A and the side wall of the connecting end of the second abutment block 210B, and the relative rotation between the first abutment block 210A and the second abutment block 210B is realized through the rotating shaft 212.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that, refer to Figure 5 A reset member is provided between the two abutment blocks 210, and the reset member is used to drive the two abutment blocks 210 to swing to a colinear position. In steps 2 and 3, when the bottom support mechanism 200 extends into the space below the table, the reset member with a reset function can drive the two abutment blocks 210 to rotate relative to each other, so that the two abutment blocks 210 are reset to a colinear position, so as to cooperate with the mounting platform 100 to reinforce the installation of the entire faucet. Specifically, the reset member is a torsion spring 220, and the two ends of the torsion spring 220 are respectively abutted against the upper side of the two abutment blocks 210.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
