[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] 1. The utility model realizes the opening and closing control of the side spray arm by arranging a joint assembly on the side wall of the faucet body. The side spray arm can move between the deployed position and the retracted position relative to the joint assembly. When in the deployed position, the water path in the water inlet joint is connected to the water path in the joint assembly to realize the water outlet of the side spray arm (i.e., opening the side spray arm). When in the retracted position, the water path in the water inlet joint is cut off from the water path in the joint assembly to realize the water stop of the side spray arm (i.e., closing the side spray arm). That is to say, as long as the side spray arm is driven, the opening and closing of the side spray arm can be controlled. Therefore, there is no need to transform the switch of the existing faucet. As long as a joint assembly is added to the existing faucet body, an ordinary faucet can be modified into a faucet with a side spray arm, with low transformation cost and simple structure.

[0022] 2. The water inlet joint is provided with a spherical part, and the connecting part of the connecting joint has a spherical cavity.

[0023] 3. By arranging an avoidance groove on the cavity wall of the spherical cavity, the water inlet joint can move along the avoidance groove, so that the side spray arm can move between the deployed position and the retracted position relative to the connecting joint. The activity path of the side spray arm is restricted by the avoidance groove, so that it can move between the two positions, with a simple structure.

[0024] 4. The connecting joint includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section sleeved and connected with each other. The first pipe section and the second pipe section can rotate relative to each other, so that the water outlet angle and direction of the side spray arm can be further adjusted, with a larger adjustment range and more convenient use.

[0025] 5. The connection between the first pipe section and the second pipe section is realized by threaded connection, or the connection between the first pipe section and the second pipe section is realized by elastically buckling a snap fastener on an annular clamping groove, with a simpler and more convenient connection.

[0026] 6. One end of the connecting joint is detachably connected to the side joint through a quick installation structure. In this way, the side spray arm can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the side joint through the connecting joint, so that the side spray arm can be repaired and replaced as a whole module, and the repair and replacement of the side spray arm are very convenient and fast.

[0027] 7. The quick installation structure includes a lock sleeve slidably sleeved outside the connecting pipe, a spring sleeved outside the connecting pipe, a lock hole penetrating through the side wall of the connecting pipe, a ball movably arranged in the lock hole, an annular limiting groove arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the side connecting pipe, and a limiting part arranged on the lock sleeve.

Detailed implementation mode

[0043] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 , a faucet with a side spray arm provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a faucet body 10, a joint assembly and a side spray arm 30, and the side spray arm 30 is connected to the faucet body 10 through the joint assembly.

[0045] A joint assembly and a switch 13 are provided on the side wall of the faucet body 10, and an upper water outlet nozzle 12 is provided at the top of the faucet body 10.

[0046] The side spray arm 30 is provided with a water inlet joint 31 and a side spray arm body 32 connected to the water inlet joint 31, and a water outlet 321 communicating with the water path in the water inlet joint 31 is provided on the side spray arm body 32. The water inlet joint 31 is movably connected to the joint assembly so that the side spray arm 30 can move relative to the joint assembly between an unfolded position and a folded position. In the unfolded position, the water path in the water inlet joint 31 is connected to the water path in the joint assembly, so that the side spray arm 30 itself is in an open and water-releasing state; in the folded position, the water path in the water inlet joint 31 is cut off from the water path in the joint assembly, so that the side spray arm 30 itself is in a closed and non-water-releasing state.

[0047] By providing a joint assembly on the side wall of the faucet body 10, the side spray arm 30 can move relative to the joint assembly between the deployed position and the retracted position. When in the deployed position, the water passage in the water inlet joint 31 is connected to the water passage in the joint assembly, thereby enabling the side spray arm 30 to discharge water (i.e., opening the side spray arm 30). When in the retracted position, the water passage in the water inlet joint 31 is cut off from the water passage in the joint assembly, thereby enabling the side spray arm 30 to stop water (i.e., closing the side spray arm 30). That is, by driving the side spray arm 30 itself, it is possible to control the opening and discharging of water and the closing and water stopping of the side spray arm 30. Therefore, there is no need to modify the switch of the existing faucet. Instead, by adding a joint assembly to the existing faucet body, it is possible to convert an ordinary faucet into a faucet with a side spray arm. The modification is simple and easy, with a low modification cost and a simple structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the joint assembly includes a side joint 11 and a connecting joint 20. The side joint 11 is provided on the side wall of the faucet body 10. One end of the connecting joint 20 is connected to the side joint 11, and the other end is provided with a connecting portion 21 that is movably connected to the water inlet joint 31. The water passage provided in the connecting joint 20 is connected to the water passage provided in the side joint 11 to form the water passage in the joint assembly.

[0049] In this embodiment, the water inlet joint 31 is provided with a connected tubular portion 311 and a spherical portion 312. The water passage in the water inlet joint 31 penetrates through the tubular portion 311 and the spherical portion 312. That is, both the tubular portion 311 and the spherical portion 312 are provided with water passages to jointly constitute the water passage in the water inlet joint 31. The connecting portion 21 has a spherical cavity, and the spherical cavity is provided with an opening 211 for the tubular portion 311 to pass through. The spherical portion 312 can rotate in the spherical cavity, so that the water discharge angle and direction of the side spray arm 30 can be adjusted, making it more convenient to use. To avoid or reduce the wear of the spherical portion 312, it is preferably provided with a wear-resistant plastic gasket 80 between the spherical portion 312 and the cavity wall of the spherical cavity. The shape of the wear-resistant plastic gasket 80 is preferably matched with the spherical cavity.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connecting joint 20 is horizontally connected to the side joint 11, that is, the connecting joint 20 is horizontally arranged. An avoidance groove 212 is provided on the wall of the spherical cavity, and the avoidance groove 212 extends from the opening 211 to the top wall of the spherical cavity. When the side spray arm 30 moves between the deployed position and the retracted position, the tubular portion 311 moves along the avoidance groove 212. In the deployed position, the tubular portion 311 is located at the opening 211, and in the retracted position, the tubular portion 311 is located at the top end of the avoidance groove 212. By providing the avoidance groove 212 on the wall of the spherical cavity, the water inlet joint 31 can move along the avoidance groove 212, so that the side spray arm 30 moves between the deployed position and the retracted position relative to the connecting joint 20. The movement path of the side spray arm 30 is restricted by the avoidance groove 212, so that it moves between the two positions, and the avoidance groove 212 can also guide the movement of the side spray arm 30 at the same time, and the structure is simple.

[0051] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting joint 20 is detachably connected to the side joint 11 through a quick-installation structure. In this way, the side spray arm 30 can be quickly disassembled and installed with the side joint 11 through the connecting joint 20, so that the side spray arm 30 can be repaired and replaced as a whole module, and the repair and replacement of the side spray arm 30 are very convenient and fast.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting joint 20 includes a first pipe section 20a and a second pipe section 20b sleeved with each other. The above-mentioned quick-installation structure is provided between the first pipe section 20a and the side joint 11, and the first pipe section 20a is detachably connected to the side joint 11 through the quick-installation structure. The connecting portion 21 is provided at one end of the second pipe section 20b away from the first pipe section 20a. One end of the first pipe section 20a is sleeved in the second pipe section 20b, and a sealing gasket 40 is provided between the end of the first pipe section 20a and the spherical portion 312. The side of the sealing gasket 40 that cooperates with the spherical portion 312 is spherical, and a through-flow hole is provided in the middle of the sealing gasket 40 to connect the water passage in the first pipe section 20a and the water passage in the spherical portion 312. The sealing gasket 40 makes the water passage in the first pipe section 20a and the water passage in the spherical portion 312 be sealed and communicated or sealed and cut off.

[0053] In order to further make the assembly simpler and more convenient, in this embodiment, the water inlet joint 31 of the side spray arm 30 and the side spray arm body 32 can be connected by a clamping structure or a screw-thread connection structure, etc. Among them, the clamping structure can adopt the commonly used clamping structure in the art. For example, a clamping groove (not shown) is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water inlet joint 31, and a clamping buckle (not shown) is provided on the side spray arm body 32, and the clamping buckle is clamped with the clamping groove. The advantage of the split design of the water inlet joint 31 of the side spray arm 30 and the side spray arm body 32 is that during assembly, the water inlet joint 31 can be first connected to the connection joint 20, and then the water inlet joint 31 can be connected to the side spray arm body 32, thereby making the assembly simpler and more convenient.

[0054] In this embodiment, preferably, the first pipe section 20a and the second pipe section 20b can rotate relative to each other. By rotating the first pipe section 20a and the second pipe section 20b relative to each other, the water outlet angle and direction of the side spray arm 30 can be further adjusted, the adjustment range is larger, and it is more convenient to use. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 is the state obtained by rotating the second pipe section 20b 90° relative to the first pipe section 20a in the Figure 1 state, so that the side spray arm 30 can be used more conveniently.

[0055] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , an external thread 22 is provided on the outer side wall of one end of the first pipe section 20a connected to the second pipe section 20b, and an internal thread 23 is provided on the inner side wall of one end of the second pipe section 20b connected to the first pipe section 20a, and the external thread 22 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 23. The connection between the first pipe section 20a and the second pipe section 20b is realized by the threaded connection of the external thread 22 and the internal thread 23, and the connection is simpler and more convenient. In other embodiments, it can also be replaced by: an annular clamping groove (not shown) is provided at one end of the first pipe section 20a connected to the second pipe section 20b, and an elastic buckle (not shown) is provided at one end of the second pipe section 20b connected to the first pipe section 20a, and the elastic buckle is buckled in the annular clamping groove. The connection between the first pipe section 20a and the second pipe section 20b is realized by buckling the elastic buckle in the annular clamping groove, and the connection is also simple and convenient.

[0056] In this embodiment, the side joint 11 is a side pipe, and the connecting joint 20 includes a connecting pipe sleeved outside the side pipe, and the connecting pipe includes a first pipe section 20a and a second pipe section 20b that are sleeved and connected. The above-mentioned quick-install structure is provided between the first pipe section 20a and the side pipe, and the first pipe section 20a and the side pipe are detachably connected through the quick-install structure. The connecting portion 21 is provided on an end of the second pipe section 20b away from the first pipe section 20a, and one end of the first pipe section 20a is sleeved in the second pipe section 20b. The outer peripheral wall of the side joint 11 (side pipe) is provided with three sealing rings 90 along the axial direction, and the side joint 11 is sealed and connected with the first pipe section 20a through the sealing rings 90.

[0057] Specifically, the specific structure of the quick-install structure of this embodiment is as follows: the quick-install structure includes a lock sleeve 50 that can be axially slidably sleeved outside the connecting pipe, a spring 60 that is sleeved outside the connecting pipe, a lock hole 24 that is arranged on the side wall of the first pipe section 20a, a ball 70 that is movably arranged in the lock hole 24, an annular limiting groove 111 that is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the side pipe, and a limiting portion 51 that is arranged on the lock sleeve 50. When the limiting portion 51 moves to a position corresponding to the lock hole 24, the limiting portion 51 pushes the ball 70 into the annular limiting groove 111. When the limiting portion 51 moves to a position offset from the lock hole 24, the limiting portion 51 makes way for the ball 70 to exit the annular limiting groove 111. One end of the spring 60 presses against the connecting pipe, and the other end presses against the lock sleeve 50. The spring 60 drives the lock sleeve 50 to move the limiting portion 51 to the position corresponding to the lock hole 24. The quick-install structure designed in this way is simple and reliable in function.

[0058] More specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of locking holes 24 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the connecting tube, and correspondingly, a plurality of balls 70 are provided. A radially extending annular ridge 25 is provided at the end of the connecting tube, and the annular ridge 25 prevents the locking sleeve 50 from escaping from the connecting tube under the action of the spring 60.

[0059] More specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the spring 60 abuts against the end of the second pipe section 20 b , and the other end abuts against the limiting portion 51 , so that the installation of the spring 60 is more compact.

[0060] In this embodiment, the switch 13 controls the on / off of the water flow in the faucet body 10 and switches to control the water flow to the upper water outlet 12 or to the side spray arm 30. That is to say, the switch 13 in this embodiment adopts a toggle switch, which can control the water flow to switch to the upper water outlet 12 or to the side spray arm 30. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the switch 13 switches to the side spray arm 30 and the side spray arm 30 itself is in the open state (i.e., the deployed state), the water outlet of the side spray arm 30 can be realized. To control the side spray arm 30 to close and stop the water, the water flow to the side spray arm 30 can be cut off through the switch 13, or the side spray arm 30 itself can be moved to the closed state (i.e., the retracted state). In this way, the water stop of the side spray arm 30 can be double-controlled, which is more reliable and convenient. For example, in actual use, if the side spray arm 30 needs to stop the water only for a short time, it can be closed only by the side spray arm 30 itself. If the side spray arm 30 needs to stop the water for a long time, the switch 13 and the side spray arm 30 itself can be closed at the same time. It can be understood that during production and manufacturing, when converting the original ordinary faucet into a faucet with a side spray arm, if you don't want to modify the switch of the original faucet, a switch without a switching function can also be used. At this time, the switch only controls the water outlet or water stop of the upper water outlet 12, and does not control the water outlet or water stop of the side spray arm 30. The side spray arm 30 is self-controlled by its own opening and closing function, which is also possible. In this way, the upgrade and transformation of the ordinary faucet is simpler and the transformation cost is low.

[0061] The assembly process of this embodiment is roughly as follows:

[0062] First, the wear-resistant plastic gasket 80 and the water inlet joint 31 are sequentially inserted into the second pipe section 20b, so that the tubular part 311 of the water inlet joint 31 extends out of the opening 211 of the connecting part 21, while the spherical part 312 is limited in the spherical cavity of the connecting part 21, and the wear-resistant plastic gasket 80 is sandwiched between the spherical part 312 and the cavity wall of the spherical cavity; then the sealing gasket 40 is inserted into the spherical cavity and fits on the outer wall of the spherical part 312;

[0063] Next, the ball 70 is inserted into the locking hole 24 of the first pipe section 20a, and then the locking sleeve 50 is sleeved outside the first pipe section 20a with the ball 70 installed, and the spring 60 is sleeved between the inner wall of the locking sleeve 50 and the outer wall of the first pipe section 20a;

[0064] Then, the second pipe section 20b connected to the water inlet joint 31 and the first pipe section 20a installed with the locking sleeve 50, the spring 60 and the ball 70 are threadedly connected through the external thread 22 and the internal thread 23 to realize the socket connection between the two, and then the side spray arm body 32 is connected to the water inlet joint 31, thereby completing the connection of the side spray arm 30 and the connection joint 20;

[0065] Finally, the side spray arm 30 and the faucet body 10 are assembled by quickly connecting the connecting joint 20 to the side joint 11 .

[0066] Specifically, the disassembly and assembly process between the connecting joint 20 and the side joint 11 is as follows:

[0067] Disassembly process:

[0068] See also Figure 8 At this time, the quick-install structure is in a locked state, and the spring 60 drives the lock sleeve 50 along Figure 8 The limiting portion 51 moves to the right in the direction of the arrow, so that the limiting portion 51 moves to a position corresponding to the locking hole 24. At this time, the limiting portion 51 pushes the ball 70 into the annular limiting groove 111 of the side joint 11, so that the first pipe section 20a of the connecting joint 20 cannot be axially separated from the side joint 11, thereby achieving locking;

[0069] See also Figure 9 , when along Figure 9 When the lock sleeve 50 is driven leftward in the direction of the arrow, the lock sleeve 50 drives the limiting portion 51 to move to a position staggered from the lock hole 24. At this time, the limiting portion 51 makes way for the ball 70 to exit the annular limiting groove 111, and the quick-install structure is in an unlocked state, so that the first pipe section 20a of the connecting joint 20 can be axially separated from the side joint 11;

[0070] See also Figure 10 ,exist Figure 9 In the state, the entire connection joint 20 is connected along Figure 10 The arrow direction shown moves leftward, so that the first pipe section 20a is separated from the side joint 11, and at this time, the side spray arm 30 is separated from the faucet body 10. Thus, the disassembly process is completed.

[0071] Installation process:

[0072] The installation process of this embodiment is opposite to the above-mentioned disassembly process, and will not be described in detail here.
