Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of faucets, and particularly relates to a fixing cap for locking a faucet on a washbasin. Background Art

[0002] When a faucet is in use, it needs to be installed and fixed on a washbasin through a fixing cap. For example, Figure 1 when the faucet ( Figure 1 label 10) is installed on the washbasin ( Figure 1 label 20), the water inlet ends of the water inlet connecting pipes ( Figure 1 label 40) (including but not limited to a cold water inlet pipe, a hot water inlet pipe, and a pull-out water pipe) first pass through the lower end of the fixing cap ( Figure 1 label 30), and then are screwed onto the water inlet of the lower part of the faucet. Finally, the fixing cap is screwed upward to lock and fix the faucet on the washbasin. The fixing cap is engaged by threads, so that it moves upward along the threads at the bottom of the faucet body. Then, after rotating to a certain extent, a strong upward force can be generated to fix the faucet body on the washbasin. Its installation operation steps are few and the installation speed is fast. However, the installation of the existing technology faucet still has the following defects:

[0003] 1. During the installation process, it is necessary to pass each water inlet connecting pipe through the fixing cap one by one and connect it to the water inlet end of the faucet. After installing multiple connecting pipes, 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 a water inlet connecting pipe with a wider end, it is very easy to have a phenomenon that the inner cavity space of the fixing cap is insufficient and cannot be inserted, and the installation difficulty is relatively high.

[0004] 2. After the faucet is used for a long time, affected by water moisture or external force, the position where the fixing cap is connected to the faucet is prone to looseness, and it is often necessary to replace the fixing cap to fix the faucet on the washbasin again. When replacing, due to the limitation of the bottom connection joints of each water inlet connecting pipe, when the fixing cap is disengaged from the faucet downward, it cannot be directly removed from the bottom of each water inlet pipe. It is necessary to first close the main valve, and then remove each water inlet connecting pipe from the bottom of the faucet one by one, so that the fixing cap can be removed from the bottom of the faucet from top to bottom to replace a new fixing cap to lock the faucet on the washbasin again. This replacement method is very inconvenient for maintenance operations and has a high maintenance cost. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fixing cap for locking a faucet on a washbasin, which is simple to install and convenient to replace and maintain, aiming at the defects and deficiencies of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present utility model adopts the following technical solutions: A fixing cap for locking a faucet to a washbasin, including a fixing cap body, the fixing cap body having a receiving cavity for each water inlet connecting pipe to penetrate, the upper end of the fixing cap body being provided with a connecting portion for connecting with the bottom connecting pipe of the faucet, and an opening groove for each water inlet connecting pipe to be snapped into the receiving cavity from the side being formed on the side wall of the fixing cap body from top to bottom.

[0007] Further improvement is: The connecting portion is a thread or a snap.

[0008] Further improvement is: It further includes a shaping ring, the shaping ring being detachably sleeved outside the connecting portion of the fixing cap body for preventing the fixing cap body from expanding and deforming outward.

[0009] Further improvement is: A positioning device for positioning the shaping ring outside the connecting portion of the fixing cap body is provided between the shaping ring and the fixing cap body.

[0010] Further improvement is: The positioning device is: A limiting boss for placing the shaping ring is further provided on the outer wall of the fixing cap body below the shaping ring.

[0011] Further improvement is: The shaping ring is provided with positioning blocks for inserting into the opening groove for positioning the opening groove to prevent it from contracting inward, and the width of the positioning blocks is matched with the opening groove.

[0012] Further improvement is: A plurality of anti-slip bumps are provided on the outer wall of the fixing cap body.

[0013] Further improvement is: The inner wall of the shaping ring is provided with a conical inclined slope, and an inclined surface corresponding to the shape and slope of the inclined slope is provided at the position where the outer wall of the fixing cap body cooperates with the inner wall of the shaping ring.

[0014] Further improvement is: The cross-section of the positioning block gradually increases from bottom to top, and the position of the opening groove corresponding to the positioning block is matched with the positioning block.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0016] By providing an opening groove on the side wall of the fixing cap body, when loading multiple water inlet connecting pipes, the middle section of the water inlet connecting pipe can be directly inserted into the receiving cavity from the opening groove. Furthermore, when loading multiple water inlet connecting pipes with wider ends, the phenomenon that the receiving cavity is not large enough to penetrate can be effectively prevented, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0017] The utility model enables the main body of the fixing cap to be directly loosened and the water inlet connecting pipe to be detached from the main body of the fixing cap through the opening groove when the main body of the fixing cap is replaced, so that the main body of the fixing cap can be quickly removed and replaced without closing the main valve and removing the water inlet connecting pipe, with fewer replacement and maintenance steps and convenient operation.

[0018] The utility model is provided with a shaping ring on the main body of the fixing cap to surround and shape the main body of the fixing cap, preventing the main body of the fixing cap from bulging and deforming outwards during the installation process, and further avoiding the phenomenon of the main body of the fixing cap coming off after installation.

[0019] The utility model is provided with positioning blocks on the shaping ring. When the positioning blocks are clamped into the opening groove and the lower end of the main body of the fixing cap is held and tightened upwards, the opening groove will not contract inwards, avoiding the phenomenon that the clamping teeth cannot be tightened upwards due to the inward contraction of the opening groove, improving the tightening efficiency and having strong use stability.

[0027] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Refer to Figures 2 - 6As shown in the figure, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: A fixing cap for locking a faucet to a washbasin, including a fixing cap body 1. The fixing cap body 1 has a receiving cavity 12 for each water inlet connecting pipe to penetrate. The upper end of the fixing cap body 1 is provided with a connecting portion 13 for connecting with the bottom connecting pipe of the faucet. An opening groove 15 is formed in the side wall of the fixing cap body 1 from top to bottom for each water inlet connecting pipe to be snapped into the receiving cavity 12 from the side. The connecting portion 13 is a thread or a snap. During use, first, the water inlet connecting pipe is installed at the bottom of the faucet. Then, the fixing cap body 1 is sleeved onto the middle section of the water inlet connecting pipe through the opening groove 15. Subsequently, the fixing cap body 1 is connected to the bottom of the faucet through the connecting portion 13 and locked, thus completing the fixed installation of the fixing cap. When loading multiple water inlet connecting pipes with wider ends, the water inlet connecting pipes can be directly inserted into the receiving cavity 12 from the middle through the opening groove 15 without passing through the fixing cap body 1 from the ends, effectively preventing the phenomenon that the receiving cavity 12 is not large enough to penetrate, reducing the installation difficulty. At the same time, when the fixing cap body 1 needs to be replaced, the connecting portion 13 connected to the faucet can be directly loosened, so that the fixing cap body 1 is detached from the bottom of the faucet, and the water inlet connecting pipe is pulled out from the opening groove 15 on the fixing cap body 1 to be detached from the fixing cap body 1, enabling the fixing cap body 1 to be quickly removed and replaced without closing the main valve and removing the water inlet connecting pipe, with fewer replacement and maintenance steps and convenient operation;

[0029] It further includes a shaping ring 2. The shaping ring 2 is detachably sleeved outside the connecting portion 13 of the fixing cap body 1 to prevent the fixing cap body 1 from expanding and deforming outward. The shaping ring can be pre - placed at the bottom of the faucet and then moved after the connecting pipe is installed to cooperate with the fixing cap body 1, which is beneficial to restricting the shape of the fixing cap body 1 while not affecting the disassembly and installation of the water inlet connecting pipe and the fixing cap body 1, and avoiding the phenomenon that the fixing cap body 1 expands and deforms outward during installation and use, resulting in insecure fixation;

[0030] A positioning device for positioning the shaping ring 2 outside the connecting portion of the fixing cap body 1 is provided between the shaping ring 2 and the fixing cap body 1. The positioning device is as follows: A limiting boss 14 for placing the shaping ring 2 is further provided on the outer wall of the fixing cap body 1 below the shaping ring 2, which is beneficial to limit the downward sliding of the shaping ring 2 and prevent the shaping ring 2 from sliding downward and detaching from the fixing cap body 1, so that the shaping ring 2 can be better installed on the fixing cap body 1 and prevent the shaping ring 2 from detaching from the fixing cap body 1 and losing the shaping effect;

[0031] The shaping ring 2 is provided with positioning blocks 22 for inserting into the opening slots 15 to position the opening slots 15 and prevent them from shrinking inward. The width of the positioning blocks 22 is set to match the opening slots 15, which is beneficial for, after the shaping ring 2 is installed, the positioning blocks 22 to be snapped into the opening slots 15 and fill the gaps of the opening slots 15 with the width matching the opening slots 15. Furthermore, when holding the fixing cap body 1 for installation, it can avoid the fixing cap body 1 deforming inward along the position of the opening slots 15 due to the internal pressure of the hand and prevent the phenomenon of jamming teeth during installation;

[0032] A number of anti-slip bumps 16 are provided on the outer wall of the sleeved cap 11. In this embodiment, there are ten, which is beneficial for providing greater friction when the sleeved cap 11 is screwed into the bottom of the faucet base, so that the screwing process is not easy to slip and is more labor-saving;

[0033] The inner wall of the shaping ring 2 is provided with a conical inclined slope 3, and the position on the outer wall of the fixing cap body 1 that cooperates with the inner wall of the shaping ring 2 is provided with an inclined surface corresponding to the shape and slope of the inclined slope 3, which is beneficial for obtaining a better positioning effect through the cooperation of the inclined slope 3 and the inclined surface on the fixing cap body 1 when the shaping ring 2 is installed and providing a limiting effect on the shaping ring 2 to prevent it from slipping off;

[0034] The cross-section of the positioning block 22 gradually increases from bottom to top, and the position of the opening slot 15 corresponding to the positioning block 22 is set to match the positioning block 22, which is beneficial for making the positioning block 22 more easily and effortlessly installed into the opening slot 15.

[0035] The working principle of the present utility model: When the present utility model is used, first, the water inlet connecting pipe is installed into the bottom of the faucet, and then the fixing cap body 1 is sleeved onto the middle section of the water inlet connecting pipe through the opening slot 15. Subsequently, the fixing cap body 1 is connected to the bottom of the faucet through the connecting portion 13 and locked, thus completing the fixed installation of the fixing cap. When loading multiple water inlet connecting pipes with wider ends, the water inlet connecting pipes can be directly inserted into the accommodating cavity 12 through the middle section via the opening slot 15 without passing through the end of the fixing cap body 1, which can effectively prevent the phenomenon that the accommodating cavity 12 lacks space and cannot be penetrated, reducing the installation difficulty. At the same time, when the fixing cap body 1 needs to be replaced, the connecting portion 13 connected to the faucet can be directly loosened, so that the fixing cap body 1 is detached from the bottom of the faucet, and the water inlet connecting pipe is pulled out from the opening slot 15 on the fixing cap body 1 to be detached from the fixing cap body 1, enabling the fixing cap body 1 to be quickly removed and replaced without closing the main valve and removing the water inlet connecting pipe, with fewer replacement and maintenance steps and convenient operation.
