[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sanitary faucets, in particular to the field of rocker adapter structures of faucets. Background Art

[0002] The rocker of a sanitary faucet is usually used to realize the all-round rotation adjustment of the faucet water outlet pipe to meet the use requirement of discharging water in different directions, which greatly improves the use convenience and is deeply loved by consumers. It has also become a popular structural setting for sanitary faucet products.

[0003] The structural settings of the adapter structures of this kind of faucet rocker in different axial directions usually require being rotatable, anti-disengagement, anti-leakage and positionable. In existing products, the common structural settings usually achieve anti-leakage through conventional sealing rings, anti-disengagement mainly through mutual buckling between structures, and positionable usually through the tight fit of nylon kits to achieve damping positioning during rotation. There are the following problems in the existing common structural settings. Specifically, when the nylon kit is initially used, the tight fit is too tight, affecting the operation smoothness and the user experience. After being used for a period of time, wear will occur, resulting in a decrease in the tightness of the tight fit, and it cannot be stably positioned during rotation. Moreover, as time goes by, the positioning becomes worse, affecting normal use. In addition, in addition to the above problems, the existing structural settings also have the problem that users lack a sense of adjustment and positioning operation when rotating and positioning, and cannot determine the stability of the positioning from the operation to give themselves a psychological effect of using it with confidence. In view of this, the inventor of this case studied and improved the existing product structure, and thus this case was born. Summary of the Utility Model

[0023] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0024] The embodiment discloses a marble-positioned faucet rocker arm adapter structure, which is mainly used for faucets such as basins, vegetable basins, and wash basins. Figure 1 andFigure 2 The part of the single adapter structure shown can also be as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 are the structures where the adapter is combined with the water pipe. When in use, it is docked and installed through the other pipeline ports of the adapter and the faucet, forming a structure application that can adjust the water flow direction. The structural settings of the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Its main structure includes an adapter 1, a fixing sleeve 2, an anti - detachment structure 3, an adjustment and positioning structure 4, and a fixing structure. One end of the adapter 1 shown in the figure is integrally connected or assembled with a water pipe section 16, and the other end is an outer end interface for docking with other water outlet port parts of the faucet. The fixing sleeve 2 is rotatably sleeved outside the adapter 1 and is prevented from detaching from the adapter 1 through the anti - detachment structure 3. In the embodiments of the present anti - detachment structure 3, the two end faces of the fixing sleeve 2 shown in the attached drawings are limited and prevented from detaching by the limiting steps 25 provided on the adapter 1, and it is axially immovable for positioning and limiting, which can play a role in stabilizing the cooperation structure.

[0026] The adjustment and positioning structure 4 is a structural setting where the fixing sleeve 2 and the adapter 1 are provided with compressible and resilient marbles 41 and concave - convex tooth rings 42 that are mutually engaged during rotation. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 a marble groove 11 for embedding the marbles 41 is provided on the outer side wall of the adapter 1 shown. An elastic member (not visible in the figure), which can be a spring, is provided between the marbles 41 and the marble groove 11. The concave - convex tooth ring 42 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 2. A structural setting is provided on the concave - convex tooth ring 42 and / or the marbles 41 to facilitate smooth rotation between the two during rotation. As shown in the figure, the outer end of the marble 41 is a smooth arc surface, and the concavities and convexities of the concave - convex tooth ring 42 are smooth transition concavities and convexities in a wave shape along the circumferential direction of its inner peripheral wall. In this way, the concavities and convexities can ensure stable positioning after rotation stops, and can slide smoothly along the smooth surface during rotation. Here, the above - mentioned structural setting can also be set in reverse. For example, the concave - convex tooth ring is provided on the outer side wall of the adapter, and a marble hole for embedding the marbles is provided on the side wall of the fixing sleeve. An elastic member for ejecting the marbles towards the concave - convex tooth ring is also provided in the marble hole. Similarly, a structural setting is provided on the concave - convex tooth ring and / or the marbles to facilitate smooth rotation between the two during rotation, and the same effect can be achieved. Specifically, it can be selected and applied according to the spatial layout of the structure.

[0027] In addition, the fixed sleeve 2 and the adapter 1 are structural components produced and formed separately, and are assembled together. There is a structural contact fit between the two. To facilitate fewer components, simple structure, easy production, easy assembly, and ensure structural stability, etc., in this embodiment, the fixed sleeve 2 is a split structural component that can be disassembled and assembled with the adapter 1 or a deformable structural component that can be opened and closed to facilitate the installation of the sleeve 2 on the adapter 1. The split structural component means that the fixed sleeve 2 is assembled by multiple components. For example, two semi-cylindrical split sleeves are sleeved on the adapter 1, etc., and there are various ways to achieve this. The deformable structural component can be made of a deformable and self-resetting material (such as a material with elastic properties) or be provided with a deformable and self-resetting structure as shown in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, an opening groove 24 that penetrates the inside and outside and both ends is axially provided on the side wall of the fixed sleeve 2. Here, the fixed sleeve 2 can be made of a plastic material with a certain toughness and recovery. The opening groove 24 can provide expandable deformation for sleeving and installing on the adapter 1 to achieve sleeving and assembly. After being sleeved, it is reset by the elasticity of the material itself. In this way, the components can be simplified, the assembly is convenient, and the sleeving stability can be ensured. Here, to improve the stability of the sleeving rotation of the fixed sleeve 2, a stable section 13 that can make the sleeving fit between the two stable can be further formed between the adapter 1 and the fixed sleeve 2. As shown in the figure, the diameters of the two parts are relatively close, the gap is small and not easy to shift, and it does not affect the rotation.

[0028] When the adapter of the present utility model is installed on a faucet and used, the adapter 1 rotates relative to the fixed sleeve 2. Therefore, the fixed sleeve 2 is fixedly positioned. Specifically, it is fixed on the port of another butt-jointed water pipe. The structure of this embodiment is as shown in the figure. The fixed sleeve 2 is provided with an elastic positioning portion that can protrude elastically from the outer side wall of the fixed sleeve 2. The port of another butt-jointed water pipe is provided with a positioning hole for the elastic positioning portion to be embedded and positioned and clamped. In this way, the elastic positioning portion has elasticity and can be compressed and automatically reset. Therefore, during assembly, the assembled adapter 1 and fixed sleeve 2 are inserted into the butt-jointed water pipe port, and the elastic positioning portion is compressed so that it does not constitute an assembly obstacle. After being assembled in place corresponding to the positioning hole, the compressed elastic positioning portion is released and protrudes into the positioning hole, thereby fixing the fixed sleeve 2.

[0029] As shown in the figure in this embodiment, the elastic positioning portion is a fixed convex portion 22 provided on the outer side wall of the fixed sleeve 2. A U-shaped groove 23 penetrating the side wall of the fixed sleeve 2 is formed around the convex portion 22 on the outer side wall of the fixed sleeve 2. The corresponding portion of the convex portion 22 is located in the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped groove 23. A compressible space is formed by making the wall thickness of the corresponding portion of the fixed sleeve thinner and / or the height of the convex portion 22 lower for easy assembly. To avoid the influence of the thinner wall thickness on the structural application strength of the component part and the influence of the lower height of the convex portion 22 on the buckling positioning stability, in this embodiment, a reduced-diameter section 12 is provided on the outer side wall of the adapter 1 corresponding to the convex portion to form an indentation space for the convex portion 22 to be compressed and inserted. This structural setting can preferably avoid the above problems and does not affect the water flow either.

[0030] In addition, the assembly, installation, and use of the adapter to achieve sealing can be realized by the end face of the docking outer end 15 of the adapter 1 and the structural setting inside the port of another docking water pipe. However, to make the structural setting and assembly and installation more convenient, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, one end of the adapter 1 is the docking outer end 15. A sealing structure section 14 for transfer leakage prevention is further extended between the docking outer end 15 and the end of the fixed sleeve 2 on the adapter 1. A sealing ring nesting ring is provided thereon, and after a sealing ring is sleeved and inserted into the docking water pipe port, leakage prevention can be achieved. It is integrally formed for easy production and assembly.

[0031] This embodiment is attached Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of the adapters 1 are connected together by the water pipe sections 16 connected integrally or by assembly connection. Each adapter is respectively provided with the above-mentioned fixed sleeve 2, the above-mentioned anti-disengagement structure 3, the above-mentioned adjustment and positioning structure 4, and the above-mentioned fixing structure, constituting an adapter of an integral double-joint pipe section, which is particularly suitable for direct application to some existing faucet products.

[0032] In summary, the product structure of the present invention is compact and stable in overall structure, with flexible and smooth movement. The component structure is easy to manufacture, convenient for combination, assembly, installation, and use, which is more conducive to better achieving the above-mentioned purpose and effect of the present invention.

[0033] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present invention. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art shall be regarded as not departing from the patent scope of the present invention.
