Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of faucets, in particular to a foldable three - port laboratory faucet. Background Technique
[0002] Laboratory faucets, also known as laboratory taps, are devices specifically used in laboratory environments. These faucets usually have some special designs and functions to meet specific needs in laboratories.
[0003] Among them, the outlet pipes of laboratory faucets are often more than one. During use, they are usually installed beside the sink, and the water pipe outlets extend forward to directly above the sink. In this process, when placing cleaning objects in the experiment into the sink, they may be blocked by the faucet, and some larger cleaning objects often cannot enter the sink. Moreover, with the arrangement of multiple water pipes, the extending directions may have certain differences. If there is a certain angle between the outlet elbow and the arm pipe, it will cause an increase in the occupied space of the entire faucet, causing certain trouble to its packaging and transportation. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a foldable three - port laboratory faucet to solve the problems raised in the above - mentioned background technique.
[0005] To achieve the above - mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a base main pipe, an outlet elbow, and arm pipes. The arm pipes are distributed on both sides of the outlet elbow, and a four - way valve is installed at the connection. The upper end of the base main pipe is fixed at the bottom of the four - way valve. The bottom of the outlet elbow is rotatably connected to the upper end of the four - way valve, and a rubber ring is arranged at the connection. A built - in pipe is horizontally rotatably connected inside the four - way valve. Both ends of the built - in pipe are fixedly connected to the arm pipes through end sleeves. Sealing rubber rings are arranged at both ends of the built - in rotating shaft. A positioning component is arranged between the rear side of the four - way valve and the built - in pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: including a base main pipe 1, a water outlet elbow 2 and an arm pipe 3. The arm pipes 3 are distributed on both sides of the water outlet elbow 2, and a four-way valve 4 is installed at the connection. The upper end of the base main pipe 1 is fixed to the bottom of the four-way valve 4. The bottom of the water outlet elbow 2 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the four-way valve 4, and a rubber ring 22 is provided at the connection. An internal pipe 5 is rotatably connected horizontally in the four-way valve 4. Both ends of the internal pipe 5 are fixedly connected to the arm pipes 3 through end sleeves 6. A positioning component is provided between the rear side of the four-way valve 4 and the internal pipe 5. Water outlet nozzles 8 are fixed at the water outlet of the water outlet elbow 2 and the arm pipes 3. The water outlet nozzle 8 is composed of three through balls, and the outer diameter decreases sequentially from top to bottom. A main valve knob 21 is installed on the water outlet elbow 2, and a sub-valve knob 31 is installed on the arm pipe 3. The end sleeve 6 is composed of a sub-pipe connection sleeve 61 and an inner pipe connection sleeve 62. The inner pipe connection sleeve 62 is fixed to the end of the internal pipe 5, and the sub-pipe connection sleeve 61 is fixed to the end of the arm pipe 3. One end of the inner pipe connection sleeve 62 close to the sub-pipe connection sleeve 61 is fixed.
[0022] The positioning component includes a limit groove 41, a positioning hole and a positioning screw 7. The limit groove 41 is opened on the rear side arm of the four-way valve 4 and is in a long strip shape. The positioning threaded hole 54 is opened on the rear side of the internal pipe 5, and the position is aligned with both ends of the limit groove 41. The end of the positioning screw 7 is threadedly connected to the positioning threaded hole 54.
[0023] An outer groove 51 is opened on the outer periphery of the middle position of the internal pipe 5. A through hole 52 is opened at the middle position of the internal pipe 5. The outer diameter of the internal pipe 5 is adapted to the inner diameter of the four-way valve 4. A group of sealing rings 53 are installed on the outer sides of both ends of the internal pipe 5, and the outer sides of the sealing rings 53 are abutted against the inner wall of the four-way valve 4.
[0024] Working principle: After fixing the bottom of the base main pipe 1 beside the laboratory sink, since an outer groove 51 is provided at the middle position of the outer side wall of the inner pipe 5, the experimental water can enter the four-way valve 4 through the base main pipe 1, and then enter the outlet elbow 2 through the four-way valve 4. And because a perforation 52 is provided at the middle position of the inner pipe 5, the water in the four-way valve 4 can also enter the inner pipe 5 and enter the arm pipes 3 from both ends of the inner pipe 5 to ensure independent water supply for multiple water pipes. On this basis, since both ends of the arm pipe 3 are fixed to the inner pipe 5, it can be rotated. When it is rotated to the vertical state, the outlet elbow 2 and the arm pipe 3 can be in the same plane. When placing the cleaning object, there will be no blockage caused by the forward extension of the arm pipe 3, ensuring that larger cleaning objects can still be easily placed into the sink. During this process, when rotation is required, the positioning screw 7 can be removed to release the limit on the rotation of the inner pipe 5. And during the use of the arm pipe 3, the positioning screw 7 is installed into the positioning threaded hole 54 so that it is distributed at both ends of the limit groove 41 to prevent the random rotation of the inner pipe 5. The operation is simple and convenient. Even when the entire faucet is transported and packaged, the arm pipe 3 can be rotated to the same plane as the outlet elbow 2, which is convenient for packaging and transportation operations and reduces the occupied space.
[0025] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
