[0002] When the faucet is in use, it needs to be fixed on the sink with a fixing cap. Figure 1 ,Faucet( Figure 1 Mark 10) Installed on the sink ( Figure 1 Mark 20), each water inlet connecting pipe ( Figure 1 The water inlet end (including but not limited to the cold water inlet pipe, hot water inlet pipe and pull-out water outlet pipe) of the pipe marked 40 should be connected with the fixing cap ( Figure 1 The lower end of the faucet marked 30 is passed through, and then screwed on the water inlet at the bottom of the faucet, and finally the fixing cap is screwed upward to lock the faucet on the wash basin. The fixing cap is engaged by threads, so that it moves upward along the threads at the bottom of the faucet body, and then after being rotated to a certain extent, a strong upward force can be generated to fix the faucet body on the wash basin. The installation operation steps are few and the installation speed is fast. However, the installation of the faucet in the prior art still has the following defects:

[0003] 1. During the installation process, each water inlet connecting pipe needs to be passed through the fixing cap one by one and connected to the water inlet end of the faucet. After multiple connecting pipes are installed, the inner cavity space of the fixing cap will be occupied by each water inlet connecting pipe. At this time, if it is necessary to insert the water inlet connecting pipe with a wider end, it is easy to cause insufficient inner cavity space of the fixing cap and unable to insert, which makes the installation difficult.

[0004] 2. After using the faucet for a long time, the connection between the fixing cap and the faucet is prone to loosening due to water tide or external force. It is often necessary to replace the fixing cap to fix the faucet on the sink again. Water inlet connection pipe The limitation of the bottom connection joint is that the fixing cap cannot be directly removed from the bottom of each water inlet pipe when it is downwardly separated from the faucet. It is necessary to close the main valve first, and then remove the water inlet connecting pipes one by one from the bottom of the faucet, and then remove the fixing cap from the bottom of the faucet from top to bottom, and replace the new fixing cap to lock the faucet on the sink again. This replacement method is very inconvenient to maintain and operate, and the maintenance cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0023] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] See also Figure 2-4As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a fixing cap for installing a faucet, including a cap body, the inner wall of the cap body is provided with a connecting portion 5 for connecting to the connecting pipe at the bottom of the faucet, the connecting portion 5 is a thread or a buckle, the cap body is vertically separated into a first block 1 and a second block 10, an opening and closing device is provided between the disconnection between the first block 1 and the second block 10, the opening and closing device is a plastic opening and closing piece 2 or hinge with a V-shaped groove in the middle, and a device is provided on the outer wall between the other disconnection between the first block 1 and the second block 10 to buckle the first block 1 and the second block 10 The connecting device comprises a buckling block 4 arranged on the outer wall of the disconnected part of the first block 1 and a buckling sheet 3 arranged on the outer wall of the disconnected part of the second block 10. The buckling sheet 3 is provided with a buckling groove with the same width as the buckling block 4. When in use, when the connecting tube needs to be inserted, the buckling sheet 3 is first pulled outward to make the buckling block 4 lose the buckling match with the buckling groove of the buckling sheet 3, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 can be separated. Then, the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted along the opening and closing device, that is, the opening and closing sheet 2 or the hinge, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 are connected. An opening of adjustable size is generated between the second block 10, and the fixing cap can be put into the middle section of the water inlet connecting pipe through the opening at this time, and then the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted in the opposite direction, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 cover the water inlet connecting pipe, and the buckle piece 3 and the buckle block 4 are buckled again, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 will not be separated again, and then the cap body is pulled upward along the water inlet connecting pipe, and connected to the bottom of the faucet through the connecting part 5 for fixing, which is simple and easy to install. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the fixing cap, it can be easily removed by pulling it upward. The buckling piece 3 causes the buckling block 4 to lose the buckling fit with the buckling groove of the buckling piece 3, thereby allowing the first block 1 and the second block 10 to be separated. Subsequently, the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted along the opening and closing device, that is, the opening and closing piece 2 or the hinge, so that an opening of adjustable size is generated between the first block 1 and the second block 10. At this time, the fixing cap can be quickly removed from the bottom of the faucet. At the same time, the water inlet connecting pipe can be separated from the fixing cap from the opening between the first block 1 and the second block 10, without closing the main valve and removing the water inlet connecting pipe, with fewer steps and simple replacement and maintenance operations;

[0025] The outer wall of the cap body is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 7, which are beneficial to improving the overall rigidity of the cap body and avoiding the cap body being deformed due to squeezing by the hand during screwing, resulting in the cap body being difficult to insert or being deformed and connected loosely due to external expansion;

[0026] The end of the cap body is provided with a boss 6, which is beneficial to increase the contact area between the end of the cap body and the bottom surface of the wash basin after installation, so that it provides a larger area of ​​upper pressure after being fixed.

[0027] The upper surface of the end of the cap body is provided with a plurality of one-way teeth, which is conducive to generating a larger reversal resistance when the top of the cap body contacts the surface of the wash basin during the installation process, thereby preventing the fixing cap from reversing and detaching from the bottom of the faucet base after installation, thereby ensuring the fixing effect;

[0028] The boss 6 is provided with a flattening groove 8 at a position corresponding to the position where the opening and closing device is set, which is beneficial for the first block 1 and the second block 10 to obtain a larger twisting angle, thereby making the opening larger and more convenient for installation and removal.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, when the connecting pipe needs to be installed, first pull the snap-fitting piece 3 outward to make the snap-fitting block 4 lose the snap-fitting cooperation with the snap-fitting groove of the snap-fitting piece 3, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 can be separated, and then the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted along the opening and closing device, that is, the opening and closing piece 2 or the hinge, so that an opening of adjustable size is generated between the first block 1 and the second block 10, at this time, the fixing cap can be put into the middle section of the water inlet connecting pipe through the opening, and then the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted in the opposite direction, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 cover the water inlet connecting pipe, and the snap-fitting piece 3 and the snap-fitting block 4 are re-engaged, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 will not be separated again, and then the first block 1 and the second block 10 are moved along the water inlet connecting pipe. Pull the cap body upward and connect it to the bottom of the faucet through the connecting part 5 for fixing. The installation is simple and of low difficulty. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the fixed cap, the snap-fitting piece 3 is pulled upward so that the snap-fitting block 4 and the snap-fitting groove of the snap-fitting piece 3 lose the snap-fitting cooperation, so that the first block 1 and the second block 10 can be separated. Subsequently, the first block 1 and the second block 10 are twisted along the opening and closing device, that is, the opening and closing piece 2 or the hinge, so that an opening of adjustable size is generated between the first block 1 and the second block 10. At this time, the fixed cap can be quickly removed from the bottom of the faucet. At the same time, the water inlet connecting pipe can be separated from the fixed cap from the opening between the first block 1 and the second block 10. There is no need to close the main valve and remove the water inlet connecting pipe. There are few steps and the replacement and maintenance operations are simple.
