[0002] Most of the existing faucet decorative cover structures are that the decorative cover is threadedly connected to the faucet body, or an internal hexagonal screw is screwed into the side of the decorative cover to abut against the faucet body to fix the decorative cover. However, on the faucet body with an indicator light, since most of the indicator light components are located at the bottom of the faucet body and the light-transmitting components need to be exposed, it is difficult to connect and limit the decorative cover to the faucet body, and most of them are designed to fit the decorative cover onto the faucet body. Specifically, during the installation process, the decorative cover is first put onto the faucet body, and then the light-transmitting component is installed. If the bottom surface of the decorative cover is uneven, the decorative cover will be easily lifted, resulting in misalignment between the decorative cover and the light-transmitting component, and it is easy to loosen and slide during use. If the decorative cover is connected and positioned with the faucet body, its structure is complex, which increases the cost and also affects the installation efficiency. Therefore, the existing faucet decorative cover structure still needs to be further improved. Content of the Utility Model
