[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0032] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like to indicate directions or positions are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are merely simplified descriptions for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0033] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, a liftable water faucet includes a liftable faucet assembly assembled on a water dispenser main unit 1, wherein the liftable faucet assembly includes an outer cylinder 2 and a water outlet part 3 that can be lifted and lowered along the outer cylinder 2, and a positioning structure is provided between the water outlet part 3 and the outer cylinder 2, wherein the positioning structure includes a positioning groove 2a vertically arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 and a positioning part 4 arranged on the water outlet part 3, wherein the positioning part 4 is elastically connected to the water outlet part 3, and the positioning part 4 is provided with a positioning head 41 adapted to the positioning groove 2a.

[0035] The positioning groove 2a is a continuous arc-shaped groove, and the head of the positioning head 41 also has an arc-shaped structure.

[0036] The outer cylinder 2 has symmetrical positioning grooves 2a on its inner wall, and the water outlet member 3 has corresponding positioning members 4 on its corresponding surface. The presence of positioning grooves 2a on both inner walls of the outer cylinder 2 ensures uniform force distribution, improving the stability and reliability of the water outlet member 3's lifting and lowering, and preventing the possibility of jamming due to unilateral force.

[0037] The water outlet member 3 is provided with an assembly groove 3 a , the positioning member 4 is assembled in the corresponding assembly groove 3 a , and an elastic member 5 is provided between the positioning member 4 and the water outlet member 3 .

[0038] The assembly groove 3a is provided with guide grooves 3b on both sides, and the positioning member 4 is provided with guide protrusions 42 adapted to the guide grooves 3b. The guide grooves 3b and the guide protrusions 42 guide the lateral movement of the positioning member 4, ensuring that the positioning member 4 moves according to the designed trajectory.

[0039] The elastic member 5 is a spring. A mounting post 43 is provided at the rear of the positioning member 4 . One end of the spring is sleeved outside the mounting post 43 .

[0040] A boss 31 is provided in the assembly groove 3 a , and the other end of the spring is sleeved outside the boss 31 .

[0041] The assembly post 43 is provided with an inner cavity 43 a for the protruding post 31 to extend into.

[0042] One end of the spring is sleeved on the outside of the boss 31 of the assembly groove 3a, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the assembly column 43 of the positioning member 4. This arrangement can improve the convenience and reliability of spring assembly; in addition, the boss 31 can extend into the inner cavity 43a of the assembly column 43, making the structure more compact.

[0043] A protrusion 32 is provided at the front lower end of the water outlet member 3 .

[0044] The protrusion 32 extends forward and downward to form an arc-shaped structure.

[0045] The provision of the protrusion 32 facilitates the application of force when the water outlet member 3 is raised or lowered. The user can hold the protrusion 32 to perform the raising or lowering operation on the water outlet member 3 .

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] The utility model of the liftable water faucet mainly includes a lift faucet assembly consisting of an outer cylinder 2 and a water outlet 3. The outer cylinder 2 is fixed in the water dispenser main unit 1, and the water outlet 3 can move up and down along the outer cylinder 2 to adjust the height of the water outlet. During the lifting and lowering process of the water outlet 3, the outer cylinder 2 can play a guiding role. Figure 1 As shown, when the water outlet member 3 is at the upper limit position, the water outlet member 3 is retracted into the water dispenser main body 1, making the appearance of the entire water dispenser more beautiful and neat.

[0048] A positioning structure is provided between the water outlet 3 and the outer cylinder 2. The positioning member 4 in the positioning structure cooperates with the positioning groove 2a to achieve vertical positioning of the water outlet 3, thereby enabling manual raising and lowering of the water outlet 3. During positioning, the positioning member 4 extends outward under the elastic force of the elastic member 5, and the positioning head 41 on the outer side of the positioning member 4 enters the corresponding positioning groove 2a, achieving vertical positioning. Since it only needs to overcome the gravity of the components to prevent the water outlet 3 from falling, the lateral force does not need to be too large. When the water outlet 3 needs to be raised or lowered, the user simply grasps the protrusion 32 to adjust the height. During adjustment, the positioning head 41 of the positioning member 4 moves along the inner wall of the positioning groove 2a under the action of the vertical force, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member 5 and causing the positioning member 4 to retract. After the height is adjusted to the desired level, the positioning member 4 moves outward under the elastic force of the elastic member 5, and the positioning head 41 enters the corresponding positioning groove 2a to achieve positioning.

[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
