[0033] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If present, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.
[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A faucet set provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a main structure, a pull-out tube 20 and a water outlet. The water outlet can be pulled out and installed on the main structure through the pull-out tube 20, so that the user can pull the water outlet from the main structure according to usage requirements, so that the water outlet can have a larger coverage range to meet the different usage requirements of the user.
[0035] If the pulling length of the pulling tube 20 is not limited, it is easy for the pulling tube 20 to be pulled out too long, resulting in damage to the pulling tube 20. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The faucet set also includes a pull-out tube storage box, which includes a box body 10 and a block 13. A storage space 11 and an opening 12 are formed inside the box body 10. The opening 12 is connected to the storage space 11. The block 13 is located in the storage space 11, and both opposite ends of the block 13 in the first direction X form a pipe running gap 14 with the inner wall of the storage space 11.
[0036] The pull-out tube 20 is installed on the main structure, and the pull-out tube 20 can penetrate into the storage space 11 from the opening 12, and first pass through the pipe running gap 14 at one end of the block 13 in the first direction X, then the pull-out tube 20 bypasses the block 13, and then passes through the pipe running gap 14 at the other end of the block 13 in the first direction X, and finally passes out of the storage space 11 from the opening 12.
[0037] When the user does not remove the water outlet from the main structure, that is, when the user does not pull out the pull-out tube, Figure 4 As shown, at this time, most of the pull-out tube 20 will be stored in the storage space 11, and when the user takes the water outlet part off the main structure, the water outlet part will drive the pull-out tube 20 to be pulled out together, and the pull-out tube 20 will leave the storage space 11 from the opening 12. As the length of the pull-out tube 20 in the storage space 11 gradually decreases, the pull-out tube 20 will eventually contact the stopper 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the stopper 13 will prevent the pull-out tube 20 from continuing to move, thereby limiting the length of the pull-out tube 20 being pulled out.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to improve the user experience, a plurality of water outlets are provided on the faucet group, and each water outlet has different functions, so as to meet the different usage needs of the users. Specifically, one of the water outlets can be a nozzle for spraying tap water, and the user can complete operations such as receiving water and washing hands according to the nozzle. The nozzle cooperates with the pull-out tube 20 so that the coverage area of the nozzle is larger, so that the pool equipped with the faucet group can be cleaned in all directions.
[0039] Furthermore, one of the water outlet parts can be a tooth washer that sprays high-pressure water, and the user can clean the oral cavity according to the high-pressure water sprayed by the tooth washer. The tooth washer cooperates with the pull-out tube 20, so that the user can pull the tooth washer out from the main structure and insert the tooth washer into the oral cavity to comprehensively clean the oral cavity.
[0040] Furthermore, one of the water outlets can also be a sterilization head that can spray sterilizing water, and the user can perform disinfection and sterilization operations based on the sterilizing water sprayed by the sterilization head. It can be understood that the number and type of water outlets can be selected according to the actual usage needs of the user, and are not limited here.
[0041] When the faucet group is provided with multiple water outlets and multiple pull-out tubes 20, each pull-out tube 20 will move in the main structure, which may easily cause the pull-out tubes 20 to be entangled with each other. For this reason, the box body 10 is provided with multiple storage spaces 11 and multiple openings 12, and each opening 12 is connected to one of the storage spaces 11. The pull-out switches 20 also include multiple ones, and each pull-out switch 20 passes through the corresponding storage space 11 from one of the openings 12, bypasses the block 13 in the storage space 11, and finally passes through the storage space from the opening 12.
[0042] When the user does not remove the water outlet from the main structure, that is, when the user does not pull out the pull-out tube, Figure 4 As shown, at this time, most of each pull-out tube 20 will be stored in the storage space 11, and each pull-out tube 20 can be stored in each storage space 11, thereby preventing the pull-out tubes 20 from being entangled with each other. When the user needs to use one of the water outlets, the water outlet can be pulled out, and the pull-out tube 20 corresponding to the water outlet can be pulled out from the opening 12, while the other pull-out tubes 20 are still stored in the storage space 11, thereby preventing the pull-out tubes 20 from being entangled with each other.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the box body 10 includes a shell 15 and a plurality of cover plates 16. The shell 15 is provided with a plurality of storage slots 17. Each storage slot 17 extends longitudinally along a second direction Y, the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X, and each storage slot 17 is provided with an opening 12 connected to its interior at one end in the second direction Y. The stopper 13 is provided on the bottom wall of the storage slot 17, and forms a pipe running gap 14 between the two side walls of the storage slot 17. Each cover plate 16 is covered on one of the storage slots 17, and is surrounded by the storage slot 17 to form a storage space 11.
[0044] In this way, a plurality of storage grooves 17 are opened on the shell 15 to form a plurality of storage spaces 11, and after the storage grooves 17 are opened on the shell 15, the block 13 can be installed first, and then the cover plate 16 can be installed to close the storage groove 17, thereby facilitating the installation of the block 13 and making the assembly of the entire pull-out tube storage box more convenient.
[0045] Specifically, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the installation of the cover plate 16, a limiting column 19 is provided on the housing 15, and a limiting hole 18 is provided on the cover plate 16. When the cover plate 16 is covered on the storage slot 17, the limiting column 19 is inserted into the limiting hole 18, thereby limiting and fixing the cover plate 16. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the limiting hole 18 can also be provided on the housing 15, and the limiting column 19 can be provided on the cover plate 16, which is not limited here.
[0046] Specifically in some embodiments, the box body 10 includes two receiving grooves 17, and the two receiving grooves 17 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the box body 10 in the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect each other and are not coplanar. Figure 3 As shown, the first direction X is a direction perpendicular to the straight surface, the third direction Z is an up-down direction, and the second direction Y is a left-right direction. By arranging two receiving grooves 17 on opposite sides of the box body 10, when the receiving spaces 11 formed by the two receiving grooves 17 both have the drawer tubes 20, the mutual interference between the two drawer tubes 20 can be reduced, and the two drawer tubes 20 can be prevented from being entangled with each other.
[0047] In some embodiments, the stopper 13 is a cylinder, and the axis of the cylinder extends longitudinally along the third direction Z. Since the stopper 13 needs to form a pipe running gap 14 at both ends of the first direction X, and the pull-out tube 20 moves in the pipe running gap 14 when being pulled, the pull-out tube 20 will contact the circumferential side wall of the stopper 13. Therefore, setting the stopper 13 as a cylinder can reduce the friction generated between the stopper 13 and the pull-out tube 20, so that the pull-out of the pull-out tube 20 and the water outlet part is smoother. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the stopper 13 can also be a cuboid or an ellipsoid.
[0048] In some embodiments, among all the blocks 13, at least two blocks 13 have different diameters, and the larger the diameter of the block 13, the longer the pull-out tube 20 needs to be in order to bypass the block 13. Therefore, the larger the diameter of the block 13, the shorter the length that the pull-out tube 20 can extend. In this way, the length that each pull-out tube 20 can extend can be adjusted by setting blocks 13 with different diameters.
[0049] In some embodiments, the stopper 13 is arranged close to the opening 12. If the stopper 13 is farther away from the opening 12, the pull-out tube 20 needs a longer length to bypass the stopper 13. By setting the stopper 13 close to the opening 12, the pull-out tube 20 only needs a shorter length to bypass the stopper 13, so that the pull-out tube 20 can use more length for the user to pull, thereby increasing the length that the pull-out tube 20 can be pulled out.
[0050] The above-mentioned drawer tube storage box has at least the following advantages:
[0051] When the user does not remove the water outlet from the main structure, that is, when the user does not pull out the pull-out tube, Figure 4 As shown, at this time, most of the pull-out tube 20 will be stored in the storage space 11, and when the user takes the water outlet part off the main structure, the water outlet part will drive the pull-out tube 20 to be pulled out together, and the pull-out tube 20 will leave the storage space 11 from the opening 12. As the length of the pull-out tube 20 in the storage space 11 gradually decreases, the pull-out tube 20 will eventually contact the stopper 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the stopper 13 will prevent the pull-out tube 20 from continuing to move, thereby limiting the length of the pull-out tube 20 being pulled out.
[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0053] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
