Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of faucets, and particularly to a faucet. Background Art

[0002] Chinese patent document with publication number CN 86208020U discloses a conical sealing faucet, which is composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a rubber spacer, and an adjusting screw anti-loosening device. The rubber spacer is a conical rubber spacer, and the adjusting screw anti-loosening device is composed of a screw that is first screwed into the central screw hole of the valve cover, with a handle at one end and a steel ball at the other end, and a top head with a cylindrical shape in contact with the steel ball at one end and a conical shape in contact with the rubber spacer at the other end, forming a screw propulsion device on the same central axis. When in use, rotate the handle in the reverse direction, then the screw moves upward. Due to the elastic force of the rubber spacer itself and the water pressure, the conical end of the rubber spacer is lifted and disengaged from the valve seat, and water can then pass through and flow out from the water outlet nozzle.

[0003] During the use of the above solution, water flows out from the water outlet nozzle of the faucet, and the direction of the water flow will be fixed with the fixation of the water outlet nozzle. This is also a common problem of traditional faucets, so it cannot meet the need for the water outlet direction when there are special requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a faucet that can meet different water outlet directions.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A faucet, including a valve body and a water outlet pipe. The valve body includes an inlet pipe body and an outlet pipe body. The feature is that an annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outlet pipe body, a C-shaped ring is arranged in the annular groove, the water outlet pipe is rotatably sleeved on the outlet pipe body and connected to the C-shaped ring, and the water outlet pipe can be rotatably adjusted to change the water outlet direction.

[0007] By adopting the above solution, the water outlet pipe can be easily rotated according to actual needs to change the water outlet direction, meeting different water use scenarios, greatly improving the convenience of use, and the C-shaped ring can further increase the stability of the rotation of the water outlet pipe.

[0008] The water outlet pipe includes a transition section and a water outlet section. The transition section and the water outlet section are linear and are connected to each other at the end and form a certain angle.

[0009] By adopting the above solution, through the angle design of the transition section and the water outlet section, the water outlet pipe can have multiple different water outlet directions after rotation, enabling the water outlet pipe to provide a more comfortable water flow angle and meeting the needs of users.

[0010] The included angle between the transition section and the water outlet section is 100 - 160 degrees.

[0011] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, the included angle of 100 - 160 degrees is the optimal water outlet angle range of the water outlet pipe. It can be adjusted between 100 - 160 degrees according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different water outlet direction angles.

[0012] The C - shaped ring is made of plastic, and the inner diameter of the C - shaped ring in its natural state is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom of the annular groove.

[0013] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, the water outlet pipe can be more stably positioned at the rotated position through the C - shaped ring after rotation. Using a C - shaped ring made of plastic can reduce costs and prevent water flow erosion, increasing the service life.

[0014] The water inlet and the water outlet of the water outlet pipe form a certain included angle.

[0015] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, the water outlet angle can be adjusted by rotating the water outlet pipe.

[0016] The transition section is connected to the C - shaped ring through a fastener.

[0017] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, the transition section can be more stable when rotating.

[0018] A first screw hole adapted to the fastener is formed on the transition section, and a second screw hole adapted to the fastener is formed on the C - shaped ring. The fastener is in threaded fit with the first screw hole and the second screw hole respectively.

[0019] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, when it is necessary to fix the water outlet pipe at a specific water outlet angle, by threading the fastener with the first screw hole on the transition section and the second screw hole on the C - shaped ring, the water outlet pipe can be rotated more stably to achieve precise angle fixation.

[0020] A first sealing ring is also arranged between the transition section and the water outlet pipe body.

[0021] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, water leakage may cause corrosion of the internal structures of the water outlet pipe body and the transition section. The presence of the first sealing ring can prevent water from entering these key parts and extend the service life of the faucet.

[0022] External threads are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet end of the water outlet section.

[0023] By adopting the above - mentioned solution, the design of the external threads enables users to easily connect various spray heads or filters or other different accessories.

[0024] The valve body further includes a valve core and a connecting rod connected to the valve core. The valve core is disposed in the water inlet pipe body. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the valve core. A relief hole adapted to the connecting rod is formed at the upper end of the water outlet pipe body, and the other end extends vertically upward through the relief hole at the upper end of the water outlet pipe body.

[0025] By adopting the above solution, the connecting rod is connected to the valve core, and the connecting rod can be directly operated to control the opening and closing of the valve core and adjust the water flow rate. This direct connection method makes the control more accurate and can accurately adjust the water flow state according to actual needs. Description of the Drawings
