A connection hole 23 for slidingly cooperating with the water inlet connecting pipe 12 is arranged at the center of the first pipe section 21 and the second pipe section 22; a threaded hole is arranged on one side of the outer diameter surface of the first pipe section 21, and a first locking screw 6 is meshedly connected to the threaded hole; a connection thread is arranged on the outer diameter surface of the second pipe section 22;

[0025] The water outlet joint 3 includes a third pipe section 31 and a fourth pipe section 32, and the third pipe section 31 and the fourth pipe section 32 are centrally provided with mounting holes 33 for cooperating with the adjusting head 14; threaded holes are provided on opposite sides of the outer diameter surface of the third pipe section 31, and second locking screws 7 are meshedly connected to the threaded holes; a connecting thread is provided on the outer diameter surface of the fourth pipe section 32; and an anti-slip shoulder 34 is provided at one end of the mounting hole 33 away from the third pipe section 31.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] The curved foot connector of the utility model is provided with a water inlet joint 2 which is slidably matched with the curved foot body 1, so that the curved foot body 1 can be eccentrically rotated and slid back and forth, thereby adjusting the spacing between the water outlet holes of the curved foot body 1 and the distance extended from the wall, thereby improving the installation and usability of the curved foot connector; at the same time, a water outlet joint 3 which can be swung and offset at an angle is provided, so that the angle can be fine-tuned, thereby correcting the skewness of the water outlet pipe outlet in the wall, thereby greatly expanding the use scenarios of the curved foot.

[0028] When in use, the water inlet joint 2 is connected to the preset water outlet in the wall; the water inlet connecting pipe 12 arranged on one side of the curved foot body 1 is slidably matched with the connecting hole 23 set in the water inlet joint 2; when there is an error in the spacing between the two water outlet holes set on the wall, the curved foot body 1 on the two water outlet holes can be rotated to make the curved foot body 1 rotate around the water inlet connecting pipe 12, and the water outlet connecting pipe 13 and the water inlet connecting pipe 12 are staggered. When the curved foot body 1 rotates around the water inlet connecting pipe 12, the water outlet connecting pipe 13 of the curved foot body 1 rotates eccentrically. Therefore, when the curved foot body 1 rotates, the two curved foot bodies 1 The spacing between the water outlet connecting pipes 13 will change accordingly, thereby compensating for the distance error between the water outlet joints 3; after adjusting the distance, the connecting frame 11 of the curved foot body 1 can be pulled or pushed to make the water inlet connecting pipe 12 provided on the curved foot body 1 slide back and forth along the connecting hole 23 provided on the water inlet joint 2, thereby adjusting the distance that the curved foot body 1 extends out of the wall, further improving the installation and usability of the curved foot connector; after adjusting the spacing between the water outlet connecting pipes 13 of the two curved foot bodies 1 and the distance extending out of the wall, the water inlet joint 2 and the water inlet connecting pipe 12 are locked by tightening the first locking screw 6.

[0029] The second locking screw 7 is rotated to make the second locking screw 7 extend into the mounting hole 33, so as to limit the adjusting head 14 in the mounting hole 33 and prevent the adjusting head 14 from coming out. At the same time, an anti-coming-out shoulder 34 is also provided at the other end of the mounting hole 33. The adjusting head 14 is a columnar structure, and the outer surface diameter is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole 33 of the water outlet joint 3. The adjusting head 14 is provided with chamfered angles on both sides of the adjusting head 14, so as to facilitate the swinging of the adjusting head 14 in the mounting hole 33, thereby angularly offsetting the water outlet joint 3. When the mounting hole 33 is not vertically opened on the wall, but has a certain inclination angle with the wall, the angle can be offset by swinging the water outlet joint 3, so that the water outlet joint 3 and the wall are kept in a vertical state, so as to ensure that the faucet can be installed flush with the wall surface, so as to ensure the beauty of the installation and the airtightness of the connection with the faucet.

[0030] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
