[0030] In order to make the technical personnel in the technical field to which the present application belongs to understand the present application more clearly, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] The faucet is a product used in the kitchen to wash vegetables or dishes. It is a daily fast-moving consumer product with a very large market demand and a very high frequency of use.

[0032] In the related art, there are mainly two ways to install a faucet. Figure 1 The first assembly structure diagram of the faucet in the related art is shown. Figure 1 When installing the faucet, it is necessary to align the faucet body 1 with the installation hole of the countertop 5, and at the same time, the hand goes around the bottom of the sink from under the countertop 5, and fastens the fixing seat 2 and the threaded tube 6 on the body 1 to complete the installation. The operating space is small, the operation is difficult, and it is easy to install it improperly. After long-term use, the fixing seat 2 is easy to loosen, and it is troublesome to repair and replace.

[0033] Figure 2 A second assembly structure diagram of a faucet in the related art is shown, combined with Figure 2When installing the faucet, first fasten the fixing base 2 to the countertop 5, then put the main body 1 of the faucet on the fixing base 2 from top to bottom, and then fasten the main body 1 to the fixing base 2 through a screw on the side of the main body 1. Although this assembly method has a certain installation convenience compared to the first under-counter assembly method, since the screws are used to fasten the main body 1 and the fixing base 2, after long-term use, the screws may creep and still be easy to loosen. In addition, when tightening or removing the screws, corresponding tools such as wrenches are required, which is also inconvenient and inconvenient for later maintenance.

[0034] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides a faucet, aiming to at least to some extent solve the technical problems of the faucet assembly process being complicated and time-consuming, the assembly efficiency being low, and the inconvenience of subsequent maintenance.

[0035] Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of a faucet in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 The faucet provided in the present application includes a body, a fixing seat 2 and a connecting component 3, wherein the body and the fixing seat 2 are both provided with an assembly part, and the assembly part of the fixing seat 2 is sleeved on the inner side or the outer side of the assembly part of the body; the connecting component 3 is supported on the inner assembly part and can telescopically pass through the outer assembly part.

[0036] The faucet provided in the present application, when the body is assembled to the fixed seat 2, the outer assembly part will squeeze the connecting component 3, so that the connecting component 3 will shrink toward the inner assembly part. After the outer assembly part is assembled in place, the connecting component 3 will extend toward the outer assembly part to pass through the outer assembly part to achieve the connection locking of the two assembly parts, and then the body is assembled to the fixed seat 2. The operation is simple, convenient and fast, and the assembly efficiency is high. When the main body 1 is disassembled from the fixed seat 2, a force is applied to the connecting component 3 passing through the outer assembly part to move the connecting component 3 toward the inner assembly part, and the main body 1 can be disassembled from the fixed seat 2. It is convenient and quick to facilitate the later maintenance of the faucet, and has good practicality.

[0037] For the convenience of description, the assembly part of the main body is now defined as the first assembly part 11, and the assembly part of the fixed seat 2 is defined as the second assembly part 21. In some embodiments, the first assembly part 11 of the main body is sleeved on the outer side of the second assembly part 21 of the fixed seat 2, and the connecting component 3 is supported on the second assembly part 21. The connecting component 3 can telescopically pass through the outer assembly part to achieve the connection and locking of the two assembly parts, and then the main body is assembled to the fixed seat 2.

[0038] Figure 4 Shows Figure 3 The structural diagram of the ontology in Figure 4The main body is provided with a first through hole, which serves as a water outlet pipe, and the part located at the bottom of the first through hole can serve as the first assembly part 11 of the main body. A first connecting hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the main body, and the first connecting hole 12 is communicated with the bottom of the first through hole serving as the first assembly part 11, so as to allow the connecting component 3 to pass through telescopically.

[0039] Figure 5 Shows Figure 3 The structural diagram of the fixed seat in Figure 5 The fixing seat 2 is provided with a second through hole, which serves as a water outlet pipe, and the portion located at the top of the second through hole can serve as a second assembly portion 21 of the fixing seat 2. A second connecting hole 22 is provided on the side wall of the fixing seat 2, and the second connecting hole 22 is communicated with the top of the second through hole serving as the second assembly portion 21, so as to allow the connecting component 3 to pass through telescopically.

[0040] Combination Figure 3-Figure 5 The connection assembly 3 may include a connection rod 31, which is elastically connected to the second assembly portion 21 and has an operating end that can be telescopically passed through the first connecting hole 12 on the first assembly portion 11. When the body is assembled to the fixed seat 2, the first assembly portion 11 will squeeze the connection rod 31 of the connection assembly 3. Due to the effect of elasticity, the connection rod 31 shrinks and moves in the direction of the second assembly portion 21. After the first assembly portion 11 is assembled in place, the operating end of the connection rod 31 extends in the direction of the first assembly portion 11 and passes through the first connecting hole 12 on the first assembly portion 11 to achieve the connection and locking of the two assembly portions, and then the body is assembled to the fixed seat 2. The operation is simple, convenient and fast, and the assembly efficiency is high; when the body 1 is disassembled from the fixed seat 2, a force is applied to the operating end of the connection rod 31 that passes through the outer assembly portion, so that the connection rod 31 moves in the direction of the inner assembly portion, and the body 1 can be disassembled from the fixed seat 2 to facilitate the later maintenance of the faucet. In a specific implementation, the connecting rod 31 may be a cylindrical pin, and a groove is provided at the operating end of the connecting rod 31 to facilitate the extrusion of the first assembly portion 11 .

[0041] Combination Figure 3-Figure 5 The connecting component 3 may also include a support member 33, which is connected to the assembly portion located on the inner side. The connecting rod 31 has a connecting end opposite to the operating end, and the connecting end is connected to the support member 33 through an elastic member 32, that is, the reciprocating movement of the connecting rod 31 is achieved through the compression deformation of the elastic member 32.

[0042] Combination Figure 3-Figure 5In some embodiments, the support member 33 is arranged in the inner assembly part, that is, the support member 33 is arranged on the inner wall of the second assembly arm to serve as a fulcrum of the connecting component 3. The support member 33 and the second assembly arm form a supporting space. One end of the elastic member 32 is arranged on the support member 33, and the other end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the connecting end of the connecting rod 31. The connecting end of the connecting rod 31 is arranged in the supporting space. The operating end of the connecting rod 31 passes through the second connecting hole 22 on the second assembly part 21 and can telescopically pass through the first connecting hole 12 on the first assembly part 11.

[0043] Combination Figure 5 In a specific implementation, the support member 33 may be U-shaped, and the two ends of the support member 33 may be integrally formed or welded to the inner wall of the second assembly portion 21, and one end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the middle of the support member 33. In some embodiments, the elastic member 32 may be a spring, and one end of the spring may be connected to the support member 33 by clamping or welding, and the other end of the spring may be connected to the circumference of the connecting rod 31, and the connecting end of the connecting rod 31 may be disposed in the spring to guide the deformation of the spring. In other embodiments, the elastic member 32 may also be an elastic column, and the two ends of the elastic member 32 may be connected to the support member 33 and the inner wall of the second assembly portion 21 by clamping or welding, respectively.

[0044] It should be noted that the top and bottom of the support space can be a through-going arrangement as shown in the figure, or can be sealed by corresponding sealing plates to keep the sealed space in a relatively dry environment as much as possible, thereby improving the service life of the connection component 3.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, a flared opening 13 may be provided at the bottom of the first assembly portion 11 so that the bottom of the first assembly portion 11 forms a frustum-shaped structure, which can facilitate the insertion of the first assembly portion 11 of the body into the second assembly portion 21 on the fixing seat 2.

[0046] Combination Figure 3-Figure 5In some embodiments, two groups of connecting components 3 are relatively arranged around the center line of the fixing seat 2. Accordingly, two opposite first connecting holes 12 need to be provided on the first assembly part 11, and two opposite second connecting holes 22 need to be provided on the second assembly part 21. Under the condition of setting two connecting components 3, the assembly effect of the main body and the fixing seat 2 can be improved. In addition, when disassembling the faucet, the user can simultaneously apply force to the operating ends of the two connecting rods 31 passing through the first assembly part 11, so that the two connecting rods 31 move toward the direction of the second assembly part 21, and the user can more easily remove the main body 1 from the fixing seat 2, which is convenient and practical. It should be noted that the connecting component 3 can also be provided with only one, or more than three as needed. Under the condition of setting more than three connecting components 3, it may be necessary to use tools or two people to operate. Therefore, setting more than three connecting components 3 is an optional solution.

[0047] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 In some embodiments, a first limit member 23 may be provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing seat 2. The first limit member 23 may be an annular disk, which is integrally formed on the circumferential surface of the fixing seat 2. When the main body is assembled in place, that is, when the connecting rod 31 of the connecting component 3 passes through the first connecting hole 12 of the first assembly part 11, the main body rests on the first limit member 23.

[0048] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 In some embodiments, a locking member 4 may be further provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing seat 2, and the locking member 4 is provided below the first limiting member 23. The locking member 4 may be a locking nut, which is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the fixing seat 2. After the body is assembled in place, the locking member 4 is rotated to fix the fixing seat 2 on the table 5, so that the faucet is fixedly assembled in the use occasion.

[0049] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 In some embodiments, a second limit member 24 may be further provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing seat 2, and the second limit member 24 is provided below the first limit member 23. The second limit member 24 may be a locking rod provided on the fixing seat 2. The locking member 4 may be movable between the second limit member 24 and the second limit member 24 through the restriction of the locking rod, so as to prevent the fixing seat 2 from being fixed in the use occasion by the locking member 4 during transportation or assembly.

[0050] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second assembly portion 21 of the fixing seat 2 can also be assembled on the outside of the first assembly portion 11 of the main body. Accordingly, the connecting end of the connecting rod 31 of the connecting component 3 is supported on the first assembly portion 11 through the elastic member 32, and the operating end of the connecting rod 31 can be telescopically passed through the second assembly portion 21 of the fixing seat 2. The assembly process is similar to the above and will not be repeated here.

[0051] The faucet structure provided in the present application can be assembled by pre-assembling the fixing seat 2 on the countertop 5 through the locking member 4, and then assembling the faucet body onto the fixing seat 2, thereby eliminating the need to pass by the bottom of the sink from under the countertop 5 to fix the fixing seat 2 during the process of assembling the faucet body onto the fixing seat 2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the faucet, and the operating end of the connecting component 3 can be telescopically passed through the side wall of the assembly portion, and is not a tightly connected connection, thereby avoiding the technical problem of the faucet being easily loosened due to creep of the screws after long-term use, and the faucet can be disassembled and assembled without the aid of tools, which is convenient for later maintenance and has good practicality.
