[0050] The so-called water dispenser 100 is a device that can output drinking water for users to drink. The water dispenser 100 has at least one of normal temperature water function, cold water function and hot water function. The water dispenser 100 can be connected to tap water and process it to output drinking water, or it can be installed for bottled drinking water to output drinking water. The water dispenser 100 can be a desktop water dispenser, a vertical water dispenser, an embedded water dispenser or a pipeline water dispenser. Of course, in addition to outputting drinking water, the water dispenser can also integrate ice making, tea drinking, bubbles and other functions.
[0051] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the water dispenser 100 includes a body 1000 and a faucet 2000. The body 1000 is a part that realizes the corresponding functions of the water dispenser 100. Most of the structure of the water dispenser 100 can be regarded as the body 1000. Generally speaking, after the water dispenser 100 is installed in the target area, the body 1000 is supported on a supporting surface (such as the ground). In this embodiment, the faucet 2000 and the body 1000 are detachably connected. The so-called detachable connection means that the faucet 2000 can be installed on the body 1000 or detached relative to the body 1000. Since the faucet 2000 is exposed to the external environment and is frequently touched by the user, the faucet 2000 is easy to harbor dirt and grime. The faucet 2000 is designed to be detachable. When the faucet 2000 needs to be cleaned, the faucet 2000 can be removed from the body 1000. After cleaning, the faucet 2000 can be put back on the body 1000 to connect the water path of the body 1000.
[0052] In order to facilitate the user to disassemble and install the faucet 2000 without disassembling the whole water dispenser 100, the faucet 2000 is installed on the body 1000 in a plug-in manner and is disassembled relative to the body 1000 in a pull-out manner. When the faucet 2000 needs to be installed on the body 1000, the user can hold the faucet 2000 and align it with the body 1000 in a certain direction until the faucet 2000 is plugged in place, so that the waterway of the faucet 2000 and the body 1000 can be connected, so that drinking water can be output by controlling the faucet 2000 to open. When the faucet 2000 needs to be disassembled relative to the body 1000, the user can hold the faucet 2000 and pull it away in the reverse direction. Through such a setting, the faucet 2000 can be disassembled and assembled by the user without disassembling the whole water dispenser 100, making the cleaning of the faucet 2000 easier and greatly improving the user experience.
[0053] Further, continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, with the position of the faucet 2000 as the front, when installing the faucet 2000, the faucet 2000 is plugged into the body 1000 from front to back, and when disassembling the faucet 2000, the faucet 2000 is pulled away from the body 1000 from back to front, which makes disassembly and assembly of the faucet 2000 more convenient.
[0054] Specifically, the orientation in this article takes the installation of the water dispenser 100 in the target area as an example. When the user uses the water dispenser 100, he stands in front of the water dispenser 100 to operate the faucet 2000. That is, the side of the water dispenser 100 facing the user is the front (the faucet 2000 is set on the side of the water dispenser 100 facing the user), the side away from the user is the back, the side close to the ground is the bottom, the side away from the ground is the top, the side corresponding to the user's left hand is the left, and the side corresponding to the user's right hand is the right. Since the user has to stand in front of the water dispenser 100 to operate the faucet 2000 (collect water), there is sufficient space in front of the water dispenser 100. Based on this, there will also be sufficient space to plug and unplug the faucet 2000 along the front and back direction, which is convenient for the user to perform disassembly and assembly operations. In particular, when the front side of the water dispenser 100 has a cavity 1210 (the cavity 1210 is generally used as a space for placing a water cup), the space along the left and right directions is limited, making it inconvenient to plug and unplug the faucet 2000 along the left and right directions. The disassembly and assembly of the faucet 2000 along the front and back directions greatly facilitates the operation.
[0055] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the body 1000 includes a water outlet assembly 1100 , and the water outlet assembly 1100 is provided with a water outlet hole 1101 . The faucet 2000 is plugged into the body 1000 , specifically plugged into the water outlet assembly 1100 , so as to communicate with the water outlet hole 1101 .
[0056] Specifically, the so-called water outlet assembly 1100 is located upstream of the faucet 2000, and the water treated by the body 1000 is discharged through the water outlet assembly 1100 and then finally output through the faucet 2000. For example, the body 1000 has a variety of components for treating water, such as heating water, cooling water or outputting water at room temperature, and each component for treating water is connected to a corresponding waterway, and different waterways are integrated into the same component, which is called a waterway board. The water outlet end of the waterway board is provided with the above-mentioned water outlet assembly 1100. It can be understood that the above is only an exemplary description of the water outlet assembly 1100.
[0057] The water outlet component 1100 is arranged inside the body 1000 and fixed at a certain position. The faucet 2000 is arranged to be plugged into the water outlet component 1100. The water outlet component 1100 supports the faucet 2000. When the faucet 2000 is plugged in, the position of the water outlet component 1100 does not change, so that the faucet 2000 can smoothly cooperate with the water outlet hole 1101 to communicate, thereby realizing the connection between the faucet 2000 and the water path of the body 1000.
[0058] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2As shown, the body 1000 includes a housing 1200 , and the water outlet assembly 1100 is disposed in the housing 1200 . When the faucet 2000 is installed on the body 1000 , it needs to pass through the housing 1200 and be plugged into the water outlet assembly 1100 .
[0059] Specifically, the housing 1200 constitutes the outer structure of the water dispenser 100 and is observed by the user. The housing 1200 forms a protection for the internal components of the body 1000. Generally speaking, the housing 1200 includes multiple connected parts (multiple means two or more) to facilitate the assembly of the body 1000. In order to prevent the water outlet 1101 of the water outlet assembly 1100 from being exposed to the outside after the user pulls the faucet 2000 out of the water outlet assembly 1100, in this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 1100 is arranged in the housing 1200. After the faucet 2000 is pulled out of the body 1000 (i.e., pulled out of the water outlet assembly 1100), the water outlet 1101 is located in the housing 1200 and will not be exposed to the outside (the outside world). Due to the protection of the housing 1200, the water outlet 1101 can be protected and the water outlet 1101 can be avoided from being polluted to the greatest extent. Therefore, when the faucet 2000 is plugged into the water outlet assembly 1100, the faucet 2000 needs to pass through the housing 1200 in order to cooperate with the water outlet assembly 1100, that is, the housing 1200 has a hole structure for the faucet 2000 to pass through.
[0060] It is understandable that there are many ways to plug and connect the faucet 2000 and the water outlet assembly 1100, such as inserting the corresponding part of the faucet 2000 into the corresponding part of the water outlet assembly 1100, or inserting the corresponding part of the water outlet assembly 1100 into the corresponding part of the faucet 2000. Since the faucet 2000 needs to communicate with the water outlet hole 1101, for this reason, in this embodiment, the faucet 2000 is designed to be inserted into the water outlet assembly 1100, specifically, the faucet 2000 is inserted into the water outlet hole 1101 so as to directly communicate with the water outlet hole 1101. For example, the faucet 2000 has a water inlet joint 2100, and the faucet 2000 is inserted into the water outlet hole 1101 through the water inlet joint 2100 to achieve waterway communication.
[0061] It is understandable that in order to facilitate the plugging of the faucet 2000 and the water outlet assembly 1100, the plugged portion of the two is relatively hard. In order to prevent leakage between the faucet 2000 and the water outlet assembly 1100, the plugged portion of the faucet 2000 and the water outlet assembly 1100 is relatively hard. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the water outlet assembly 1100 further includes a seal 1130 , and sealing is achieved by the seal 1130 .
[0062] Specifically, the seal 1130 is made of an elastically deformable material, for example, the seal 1130 is made of a rubber material or a silicone material. When the faucet 2000 is inserted into the water outlet 1101, the portion of the faucet 2000 inserted into the water outlet 1101 (hereinafter referred to as the water inlet connector 2100) needs to pass through the seal 1130 and abut against the seal 1130, that is, the seal 1130 has an annular structure surrounding the water inlet connector 2100, so that the seal 1130 forms a seal between the hole wall of the water outlet 1101 and the water inlet connector 2100, preventing water from leaking out from between the hole wall of the water outlet 1101 and the water inlet connector 2100, thereby achieving a seal between the water outlet assembly 1100 and the faucet 2000.
[0063] The seal 1130 is disposed on the water outlet assembly 1100, that is, the seal 1130 is fixed relative to the water outlet assembly 1100 and will not be separated from the water outlet assembly 1100 as the faucet 2000 is pulled out. As mentioned above, since the faucet 2000 needs to be pulled out of the water outlet assembly 1100 so as to be disassembled for cleaning, in this embodiment, the seal 1130 is located on the water outlet assembly 1100 so that the seal 1130 will not be separated as the faucet 2000 is pulled out, thereby preventing the seal 1130 from being lost.
[0064] Continue to combine Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the water outlet assembly 1100 further includes a cover body 1120 and a base 1110 , and the base 1110 and the cover body 1120 are connected to clamp the seal 1130 .
[0065] Specifically, when the faucet 2000 is inserted into the water outlet hole 1101 and passes through the seal 1130, friction is generated between the water inlet joint 2100 and the seal 1130. In order to prevent the seal 1130 from moving relative to the water outlet assembly 1100, the seal 1130 needs to be effectively fixed on the water outlet assembly 1100. In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 1100 includes a cover 1120 and a base 1110. The cover 1120 and the base 1110 are manufactured separately. The seal 1130 is arranged between the cover 1120 and the base 1110. When the cover 1120 and the base 1110 are connected and fixed, the seal 1130 is clamped, so that the seal 1130 is fixed. In this way, the seal 1130 can be fixed and the assembly of the water outlet assembly 1100 is convenient.
[0066] The base 1110 may be an integrally formed part, and the cover 1120 may also be an integrally formed part, for example, the base 1110 and the cover 1120 are respectively integrally injection molded parts, which is convenient for manufacturing. There are many ways to connect the cover 1120 and the base 1110, for example, the cover 1120 and the base 1110 are connected by at least one of screw connection, clamp connection, welding connection, and adhesive connection.
[0067] Furthermore, combined with Figures 3 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the seal 1130 includes a first annular wall 1131 and a second annular wall 1132, wherein the second annular wall 1132 surrounds the first annular wall 1131, wherein one end of the second annular wall 1132 is connected to one end of the first annular wall 1131 to form a closed end, and the other end of the second annular wall 1132 is separated from the other end of the first annular wall 1131 to form an open end, so that a clamping cavity 1133 is formed between the second annular wall 1132 and the first annular wall 1131, and the clamping cavity 1133 is open. It can be understood that one end of the second annular wall 1132 is connected to one end of the first annular wall 1131, which means that one end of the second annular wall 1132 is fixed to one end of the first annular wall 1131. For example, the second annular wall 1132 and the first annular wall 1131 are two separately manufactured parts fixed together by connection means such as welding, bonding, etc., or the second annular wall 1132 and the first annular wall 1131 are integrally formed to form the seal 1130.
[0068] The base 1110 is provided with a first opening 1111, and the first opening 1111 constitutes at least a part of the water outlet 1101. When assembling the water outlet component 1100, the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 can be inserted into the clamping cavity 1133 of the seal 1130 first, thereby forming a preliminary positioning and installation of the seal 1130, and then the cover body 1120 is connected to the base 1110. Since the seal 1130 has been preliminarily positioned and installed, it is not easy for the position of the seal 1130 to loosen, so that the cover body 1120 and the base 1110 cooperate to clamp the seal 1130.
[0069] For example, the base 1110 has a water outlet connector 1112 protruding toward the cover body 1120 , the water outlet connector 1112 constitutes the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 to surround the first opening 1111 , and the water outlet connector 1112 is inserted into the clamping cavity 1133 to achieve preliminary positioning and installation of the seal 1130 .
[0070] Combination Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 is designed to be interference fit with the second annular wall 1132, further improving the initial positioning and installation effect of the seal 1130, and the seal 1130 is less likely to loosen when being clamped to the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 through the clamping cavity 1133. It can be understood that the second annular wall 1132 surrounds the first annular wall 1131, and when the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 is inserted into the clamping cavity 1133, the first annular wall 1131 is located inside the first opening 1111, and the second annular wall 1132 is located outside the first opening 1111 and surrounds the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111, and the portion where the first annular wall 1131 and the second annular wall 1132 are connected is clamped by the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 and the cover body 1120. By means of interference fit between the second annular wall 1132 and the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111, when the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 is inserted into the clamping cavity 1133, the installation stability of the seal 1130 can be improved, and the seal 1130 is less likely to change position, thereby more conveniently cooperating with the cover body 1120.
[0071] Further, in some embodiments, the first annular wall 1131 is clearance-matched with the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111. It is understandable that, since the first opening 1111 constitutes at least part of the water outlet 1101, the water inlet connector 2100 is inserted into the first opening 1111, and the water inlet connector 2100 squeezes the sealing member 1130 when passing through the sealing member 1130. For this reason, in this embodiment, the first annular wall 1131 and the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 are clearance-matched, providing a certain space for the deformation of the sealing member 1130, thereby preventing the sealing member 1130 from being broken when being squeezed to a large extent, especially when the sealing member 1130 needs to withstand multiple disassembly and assembly squeezing of the faucet 2000, and such a setting is conducive to improving the service life of the sealing member 1130.
[0072] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover body 1120 is provided with a second opening 1121, and the first opening 1111 is connected to the second opening 1121. When the cover body 1120 is connected to the base 1110, the periphery 1122 of the second opening 1121 and the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111 realize extrusion of the seal 1130.
[0073] Specifically, since the first annular wall 1131 is annular and the second annular wall 1132 is also annular, the portion where the first annular wall 1131 and the second annular wall 1132 are connected is also annular. When the cover body 1120 is connected to the base 1110, the portion where the first annular wall 1131 and the second annular wall 1132 are connected is mainly clamped. Therefore, a second opening 1121 is provided on the cover body 1120, and the periphery 1122 of the second opening 1121 (that is, the portion surrounding the second opening 1121 on the cover body 1120) is matched with the hole wall 1112 of the first opening 1111, so that the seal 1130 is uniformly clamped in the direction surrounding the water inlet joint 2100, thereby further preventing the seal 1130 from loosening.
[0074] It is understandable that, since the second opening 1121 is provided, the faucet 2000 needs to first pass through the second opening 1121 when being inserted into the first opening 1111. Since the first annular wall 1131 is located in the first opening 1111 and contacts the water inlet connector 2100 to form a seal, in this embodiment, the second opening 1121 is designed to be clearance-matched with the portion of the faucet 2000 (water inlet connector 2100) inserted into the first opening 1111, so as to avoid the water inlet connector 2100 from scratching the hole wall of the second opening 1121 during the insertion of the water inlet connector 2100.
[0075] As can be seen from the above, the faucet 2000 can be easily assembled and disassembled by plugging and unplugging. The user can plug and unplug the faucet 2000 by holding the faucet 2000 and applying a certain force. In order to prevent the faucet 2000 from accidentally detaching from the body 1000, the faucet 2000 can be easily assembled and disassembled by plugging and unplugging. Figures 10 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the water dispenser 100 further includes a restraint mechanism 3000, which is used to lock and unlock the faucet 2000. The restraint mechanism 3000 can effectively prevent the faucet 2000 from accidentally detaching from the body 1000.
[0076] When the faucet 2000 needs to be installed on the body 1000, the user holds the faucet 2000 and plugs the faucet 2000 into the body 1000, and locks the faucet 2000 through the constraint mechanism 3000, so that the faucet 2000 is restricted from being pulled away from the body 1000, and the faucet 2000 will not accidentally detach from the body 1000, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the faucet 2000 and the body 1000.
[0077] When the faucet 2000 needs to be disassembled relative to the body 1000, the lock on the faucet 2000 needs to be unlocked by the restraint mechanism 3000, so that the faucet 2000 can be released from the body 1000, and the user can hold the faucet 2000 and pull it away from the body 1000.
[0078] Combination Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in some embodiments, the constraint mechanism 3000 locks the faucet 2000 when the faucet 2000 rotates along a first direction, and the constraint mechanism 3000 unlocks the faucet 2000 when the faucet 2000 rotates along a second direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction. Through such a setting, the user's operating experience when disassembling and assembling the faucet 2000 is improved.
[0079] Specifically, the first direction may be clockwise and the second direction may be counterclockwise, and the first direction may be counterclockwise and the second direction may be clockwise, and the faucet 2000 may be plugged into the body 1000 from the front to the back and pulled out of the body 1000 from the back to the front as an example for explanation. The user holds the faucet 2000 and plugs the faucet 2000 into the body 1000 from the front to the back, so that the water path of the faucet 2000 and the body 1000 are connected, and then controls the faucet 2000 to rotate in the clockwise direction by a preset angle (such as 45°) to lock the faucet 2000, thereby completing the installation of the faucet 2000. The user holds the faucet 2000 and rotates the faucet 2000 in the counterclockwise direction by a preset angle (such as 45°) to unlock the faucet 2000, and then pulls the faucet 2000 out of the body 1000 from the back to the front, thereby completing the disassembly of the faucet 2000.
[0080] It can be seen that the faucet 2000 can be assembled and disassembled by the user with one hand. The faucet 2000 can be moved in the front and rear directions and rotated in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions by one hand. The faucet 2000 can be assembled and disassembled without the user changing hands. It is easy to operate.
[0081] Combination Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the restraint mechanism 3000 includes a first part 3100 and a second part 3200. The second part 3200 is arranged on the faucet 2000, and the first part 3100 is arranged on the body 1000. When the faucet 2000 rotates, the second part 3200 rotates along with the faucet 2000, so that the second part 3200 and the first part 3100 are matched with each other, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the faucet 2000.
[0082] Specifically, the first part 3100 is a part of the structure of the constraint mechanism 3000, and the second part 3200 is another part of the structure of the constraint mechanism 3000. The first part 3100 and the second part 3200 cooperate to achieve locking and separation. The first part 3100 is set on the body 1000 and is relatively fixed. The second part 3200 is set on the faucet 2000, so that it can rotate with the rotation of the faucet 2000. When the faucet 2000 is plugged into the body 1000 and rotates along the first direction by a preset angle, the second part 3200 rotates along the first direction with the faucet 2000, and the interaction between the second part 3200 and the first part 3100 is gradually formed to achieve locking of the faucet 2000. When the faucet 2000 needs to be disassembled, during the process of controlling the faucet 2000 to rotate in the second direction at a preset angle, the second part 3200 rotates along the second direction following the faucet 2000, and the interaction between the second part 3200 and the first part 3100 gradually disappears, thereby achieving unlocking of the faucet 2000.
[0083] The following is a more detailed description of the matching of the first part 3100 and the second part 3200. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the first part 3100 includes a lock seat 3110 , and the second part 3200 includes a first lock block 3210 . The first lock block 3210 cooperates with the lock seat 3110 to achieve locking and unlocking of the faucet 2000 .
[0084] The lock seat 3110 has a through hole 3111, a first locking portion 3113 and a first avoidance groove 3112. The first locking portion 3113 and the first avoidance groove 3112 are arranged around the through hole 3111, that is, the first locking portion 3113 and the first avoidance groove 3112 are arranged along the circumference of the through hole 3111. When the faucet 2000 is plugged into the body 1000, the water inlet connector 2100 of the faucet 2000 needs to pass through the through hole 3111.
[0085] For example, the faucet 2000 is plugged into the body 1000 through its water inlet connector 2100, and the first locking block 3210 is set on the water inlet connector 2100. When the faucet 2000 is installed, the water inlet connector 2100 is aligned with the through hole 3111 and inserted, and the first locking block 3210 is aligned with the first avoidance groove 3112 and inserted into the lock seat 3110. When the faucet 2000 is plugged in place, the faucet 2000 is controlled to rotate along the first direction by a preset angle, and the first locking block 3210 follows along the first direction. The first locking block 3210 is rotated in the preset direction by a preset angle so that the first locking block 3210 moves to the back side of the first locking portion 3113 (the back side is the side away from the faucet 2000. If the faucet 2000 is inserted from front to back, the back side is the back side of the first locking portion 3113). In this way, along the direction in which the faucet 2000 is pulled away from the body 1000, the first locking block 3210 is stopped by the first locking portion 3113, and the faucet 2000 cannot be pulled away from the body 1000, thereby locking the faucet 2000.
[0086] When the faucet 2000 needs to be removed from the body 1000, the faucet 2000 is controlled to rotate in the second direction by a preset angle, and the first locking block 3210 is rotated in the second direction accordingly. The first locking block 3210 leaves the back side of the first locking portion 3113 and moves to correspond to the first avoidance groove 3112, that is, the first locking block 3210 is staggered from the first locking portion 3113, so that the faucet 2000 is unlocked, and the user can pull the faucet 2000 away from the body 1000. The first locking block 3210 follows the pulling away of the faucet 2000 and escapes from the first avoidance groove 3112. The first locking portion 3113 may include a plurality (a plurality means two or more), and correspondingly, the first avoidance groove 3112 also includes a plurality, so as to correspond one-to-one with the first locking portion 3113, such as Fig.11 The first locking portions 3113 include two first locking portions 3113 , which are distributed along 180°.
[0087] Since the first locking block 3210 is rotated by a preset angle along the first direction, the first locking block 3210 is on the back side of the first locking portion 3113. At this time, it is not easy for the user to observe the first locking block 3210. In order to prevent the first locking block 3210 from rotating excessively in the first direction, the lock seat 3110 is also provided with a stop portion (not shown in the figure). The stop portion is arranged on the path of the first locking block 3210 rotating along the first direction. When the first locking block 3210 is rotated by a preset angle, it will encounter the stop of the stop portion, thereby prompting the user to rotate to the extreme position. For example, the stop portion is arranged on the back side of the first locking portion 3113.
[0088] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the restraint mechanism 3000 in the locked state, Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the lock seat 3110 also has a second locking portion 3114, and the second locking portion 3114 is arranged around the through hole 3111. Since the first locking portion 3113 and the first avoidance groove 3112 are also arranged around the through hole 3111, the second locking portion 3114, the first locking portion 3113 and the first avoidance groove 3112 can be arranged along the circumference of the through hole 3111.
[0089] The second part 3200 further includes a second locking block 3220 . When the faucet 2000 is controlled to rotate along the first direction by a preset angle, the second locking block 3220 slides against the second locking portion 3114 , and the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114 under the action of force. That is, when the user controls the faucet 2000 to rotate along the first direction, the second locking block 3220 rotates with the faucet 2000, so that the second locking block 3220 abuts against the second locking portion 3114. The user continues to apply a certain force, and the second locking block 3220 and the second locking portion 3114 slide relative to each other. At least one of the second locking block 3220 and the second locking portion 3114 is deformed to avoid the other, until the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114 (at this time, the first locking block 3210 has moved to the back side of the first locking portion 3113), thereby completing the locking of the faucet 2000. After the user releases his grip on the faucet 2000, the second locking block 3220 is stopped by the second locking portion 3114 along the second direction. Without the force applied by the user, the second locking block 3220 cannot pass over the second locking portion 3114 along the second direction, so that the faucet 2000 will not accidentally rotate in the second direction.
[0090] When the faucet 2000 needs to be disassembled, the user controls the faucet 2000 to rotate in the second direction, and the second locking block 3220 rotates with the faucet 2000, so that the second locking block 3220 abuts against the second locking portion 3114. The user continues to apply a certain force, and the second locking block 3220 and the second locking portion 3114 slide relative to each other. At least one of the second locking block 3220 and the second locking portion 3114 is deformed to avoid the other, until the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114 (at this time, the first locking block 3210 corresponds to the first avoidance groove 3112). In this way, the faucet 2000 is unlocked and the user can pull out the faucet 2000.
[0091] It can be understood that when the rotation of the first locking block 3210 and the rotation of the second locking block 3220 are achieved based on the rotation of the faucet driven by the user, when rotating in the first direction and the second direction, the second locking block 3220 encounters the abutment of the second locking portion 3114 and the force required to overcome the second locking portion 3114 is applied by the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, the force required to rotate the second locking portion 3114 in the first direction to overcome the second locking portion 3114 is smaller than the force required to rotate the second locking portion 3114 in the second direction to overcome the second locking portion 3114, that is, the force applied by the user when the faucet 2000 is rotated in the first direction is smaller than the force applied by the user when the faucet 2000 is rotated in the second direction, making the faucet 2000 relatively easier to install and relatively more difficult to disassemble, thereby avoiding accidental rotation of the faucet 2000 in the second direction and preventing children from accidentally disassembling the faucet 2000.
[0092] For example, one side of the second locking block 3220 is the first side 3115, and the other side is the second side 3116. When the second locking block 3220 rotates in the first direction, the second locking block 3220 slides against the first side 3115 to pass over the second locking portion 3114. When the second locking block 3220 rotates in the second direction, the second locking block 3220 slides against the second side 3116 to pass over the second locking portion 3114. The first side 3115 is designed to be more inclined relative to the second side 3116, that is, the angle formed between the first side 3115 and the first direction is larger than the angle formed between the second side 3116 and the second direction. Since the first side 3115 is more inclined relative to the second side 3116, the faucet 2000 is less obstructed when rotating in the first direction than when rotating in the second direction.
[0093] Combination Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, along the circumference of the through hole 3111, the lock seat 3110 also has a second avoidance groove 3117 and a third avoidance groove 3118, the second avoidance groove 3117 is arranged on one side of the second locking portion 3114 along the circumference of the through hole 3111, and the third avoidance groove 3118 is arranged on the other side of the second locking portion 3114 along the circumference of the through hole 3111. As mentioned above, when the second locking block 3220 rotates along the first direction or the second direction following the faucet 2000, it needs to abut against the second locking portion 3114, and at least one of the second locking portion 3114 and the second locking block 3220 needs to be elastically deformed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a second avoidance groove 3117 and a third avoidance groove 3118 are respectively provided on both sides of the second locking portion 3114. By providing the second avoidance groove 3117 and the third avoidance groove 3118, the constraints on both sides of the second locking portion 3114 are reduced, and when the second locking block 3220 abuts against the second locking portion 3114, the second locking portion 3114 is easier to be elastically deformed.
[0094] When the faucet 2000 is installed on the body 1000, the water inlet connector 2100 of the faucet 2000 passes through the through hole 3111 to be plugged into place, and at the same time, the first locking block 3210 is aligned with the first avoidance groove 3112 and inserted into the lock seat 3110, and at least a part of the second locking block 3220 is embedded in the second avoidance groove 3117, and then the faucet 2000 is controlled to rotate in the first direction at a preset angle, and the first locking block 3210 moves to the first locking portion 3117 following the rotation of the faucet 2000. On the back side of 113, the second locking block 3220 follows the rotation of the faucet 2000 and abuts against the second locking portion 3114. The second locking portion 3114 is elastically deformed, so that the second locking block 3220 can pass over the second locking portion 3114 and move to the third avoidance groove 3118. After the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114, the second locking portion 3114 is reset to form a stop for the second locking block 3220 in the second direction, thereby achieving the locking of the faucet 2000.
[0095] When the faucet 2000 is disassembled relative to the body 1000, the faucet 2000 is controlled to rotate along the second direction, and the second locking portion 3114 follows the rotation of the faucet 2000 and abuts against the second locking portion 3114. The second locking portion 3114 elastically deforms, so that the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114 and moves to the second avoidance groove 3117. After the second locking block 3220 passes over the second locking portion 3114, the second locking portion 3114 is reset. At the same time, the first locking block 3210 follows the rotation of the faucet 2000 and leaves the back side of the first locking portion 3113 so as to correspond to the first avoidance groove 3112. In this way, the faucet 2000 is unlocked, and the user can control the faucet to be pulled away from the body 1000. At this time, the first locking block 3210 is disengaged from the first avoidance groove 3112, and the second locking block 3220 is disengaged from the second avoidance groove 3117.
[0096] Combination Fig.11As shown, in some embodiments, the faucet 2000 is provided with a cover plate 2200, and the cover plate 2200 is used to cover the side of the lock seat 3110 facing the faucet 2000. Since the faucet 2000 is aligned with the through hole 3111 and passes through, and the first locking block 3210, the second locking block 3220 cooperate with the first avoidance groove 3112, the first locking portion 3113, the second locking portion 3114, the second avoidance groove 3117 and the third avoidance groove 3118 on the lock seat 3110, the lock seat 3110 faces the faucet 2000. 0 is a position where a through hole 3111, a first avoidance groove 3112, a first locking portion 3113, a second locking portion 3114, a second avoidance groove 3117 and a third avoidance groove 3118 are provided. When the faucet 2000 is locked, part of the through hole 3111, the first avoidance groove 3112, the second avoidance groove 3117 and the third avoidance groove 3118 are exposed, and the cover plate 2200 is used to block the side of the lock seat 3110 facing the faucet 2000 to prevent foreign objects from passing into the interior of the fuselage 1000.
[0097] Combination Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the lock seat 3110 is disposed on the housing 1200. As mentioned above, since the faucet 2000 needs to pass through the housing 1200, and the lock seat 3110 is provided with a through hole 3111, the lock seat 3110 is disposed on the housing 1200 to share the through hole 3111, and it is also convenient for the user to observe that the faucet 2000 passes through the lock seat 3110. The lock seat 3110 and the housing 1200 can be an integrally formed structure, such as an integrally formed injection molding (PP material), to reduce the number of parts. The material of the faucet 2000 is also mainly PP material, which has high wear resistance, and avoids the faucet 2000 from being loosened due to wear after multiple disassembly and assembly.
[0098] The preferred embodiments of the utility model do not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the concept of the utility model, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
