Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fasteners, and in particular to a faucet anti-loosening nut. Background Art

[0002] During long-term use, traditional faucets can become unstable and even dripping due to factors such as water pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, and frequent faucet opening and closing. Ordinary faucets are prone to shaking or damage after a period of use. Replacement and installation methods typically involve completely disassembling the water inlet pipe and replacing it with a new one, relying primarily on conventional nuts and gaskets for securing. However, traditional nuts, due to their simple structure and lack of an effective locking mechanism, often struggle to resolve this issue. Furthermore, maintenance requires disassembling the water inlet pipe, which is complex and inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a faucet anti-loosening nut, which is used to solve the problem that the faucet is easy to loosen relative to the basin after long-term use and is difficult to tighten. To achieve the above purpose, this application provides the following technical solutions: A faucet anti-loosening nut, comprising:

[0004] A C-shaped nut comprising a nut section and a sleeve section, the nut section and the sleeve section being coaxially arranged and each having an axially extending notch, the nut section having an internal thread, and the inner diameter of the nut section being the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve section;

[0005] an annular boss, the annular boss being arranged on the periphery of the nut segment;

[0006] A threaded hole, wherein the threaded hole is provided on the annular boss, and two or more threaded holes are arranged along the circumference of the annular boss;

[0007] A C-shaped gasket is adapted to the nut segment.

[0008] A screw rod is adapted to the threaded hole, and the screw rod is threadedly connected to the annular boss and abuts against the C-shaped gasket.

[0009] Preferably, the present technical solution further comprises a connecting ear, which is C-shaped, with one end connected to the periphery of the C-shaped gasket and the other end abutting the lower end of the annular boss.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting ears are provided in two or more pieces and are evenly arranged around the periphery of the C-shaped gasket.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the C-shaped gasket correspond to the two ends of the nut segment, and the gap between the two ends can accommodate the passage of the faucet water inlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the sleeve section extends in an axial direction for a length greater than 8 cm.

[0013] Preferably, the present technical solution further comprises ribs, wherein the ribs are arranged on the periphery of the sleeve segment and extend axially along the sleeve segment.

[0014] Preferably, the plurality of ribs are evenly arranged along the periphery of the sleeve segment.

[0015] Preferably, the present technical solution further comprises an anti-slip layer, which is provided on the sleeve section and is a plurality of evenly arranged protrusions.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] The ingenious design of the C-nut and C-washer allows for convenient, secure insertion into the faucet when it becomes unstable and requires repair, without disassembling the water inlet pipe. The nut and sleeve sections are coaxially arranged, both featuring axially extending notches. This structural design effectively enhances the nut's locking performance. The internal threads and inner diameter of the nut section are identical, ensuring a tight connection. The annular boss further enhances the nut's locking effect. The two or more threaded holes on the annular boss not only increase the contact area with the screw but also provide multiple points of securement for a more secure connection. This design significantly reduces the risk of the nut loosening during use, enhancing product reliability and safety. The C-washer's adaptable design ensures a tight fit against the nut section, creating an additional layer of protection. This not only prevents dripping caused by a loose nut but also mitigates the impact of pressure fluctuations, protecting the faucet and connected pipes from damage. The adaptable design of the screw and threaded holes, combined with the threaded connection to the annular boss, creates a robust locking mechanism. The screw abuts against the C-type gasket, which further enhances the locking effect of the nut and ensures the long-term stable operation of the faucet. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be understood that for ease of description, the sizes of the various components shown in the drawings are not drawn according to actual proportions. For example, the thickness or width of certain layers may be exaggerated relative to other layers.

[0025] It should be noted that like numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined or described in one figure, it will not need to be further discussed and described in detail in the description of the subsequent figures.

[0026] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the present application provides a technical solution: a faucet anti-loosening nut, which has the following characteristics:

[0027] The C-shaped nut 1 includes a nut section 2 and a sleeve section 3, which are coaxially arranged. The nut section 2 has an internal thread, and its inner diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve section 3. Both the nut section 2 and the sleeve section 3 have a notch 4 extending in the axial direction, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. The annular boss 5 is arranged on the periphery of the nut section 2. On the one hand, it plays a role in enhancing the connection strength between the nut section 2 and the sleeve section 3, and on the other hand, it facilitates the installation and fixation of the screw 8. The threaded hole 6 is provided on the annular boss 5, and two or more threaded holes 6 are arranged along the circumference of the annular boss 5 to cooperate with the screw 8. The C-shaped gasket 7 is adapted to the nut section 2 to improve the sealing performance. The C-shaped gasket (7) can be made of metal, plastic or rubber. The screw 8 is adapted to the threaded hole 6 and abuts against the C-shaped gasket 7 after being threadedly connected to the annular boss 5.

[0028] If a faucet becomes loose or damaged during long-term use due to water pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, or frequent faucet opening and closing, remove the original nut and install the new faucet locknut on the lower portion of the faucet. Slip the C-shaped gasket 7 and C-shaped nut 1 onto the faucet's inlet pipe, using the gap at the C-shaped portion. Tighten the nut section 2 of the C-shaped nut 1 onto the original faucet's spiral groove by rotating the sleeve section 3. Screw 8 passes through threaded hole 6 and is threadedly connected thereto. The other end of screw 8 abuts C-shaped gasket 7, ensuring a tight fit and improving sealing performance.

[0029] It should be noted that the connecting lug 9 adopts a C-shaped design, with one end connected to the periphery of the C-shaped gasket 7. Specifically, one end of the connecting lug 9 is securely connected to the edge of the C-shaped gasket 7 by welding or other fixing means, or the connecting lug 9 and the C-shaped gasket 7 are integrally formed to ensure a stable and reliable connection. The other end of the connecting lug 9 abuts the lower end of the annular boss 5. The C-shaped structure of the connecting lug 9 allows it to fit snugly against the lower end of the annular boss 5, forming a connection structure that prevents the gasket from slipping during transportation or installation, making it difficult to find.

[0030] Furthermore, two or more connecting ears 9 are provided, which are evenly distributed around the C-shaped gasket 7. The main part of the connecting ear 9 is a C-shaped piece, and the purpose of providing multiple connecting ears is to increase the connection area between the C-shaped gasket 7 and the C-shaped nut 1, thereby improving stability.

[0031] It should be noted that the two ends of the C-shaped gasket 7 correspond to the two ends of the nut segment 2. A gap is formed between the two ends of the C-shaped gasket 7. This gap is designed to be just the right size to accommodate the unmarked faucet inlet pipe. The corresponding design maximizes the contact area between the two, facilitating efficient material utilization.

[0032] Furthermore, many sinks or basins are quite deep, and faucets are installed close to the wall. Therefore, tightening the faucet often requires limited space or tools, making it difficult to reach. Therefore, the sleeve section 3 is extended and hollow cylindrical, allowing it to be rotated by simply grasping it without a wrench or other auxiliary tools. The axial extension of the sleeve section 3 is greater than 8 cm, which facilitates the rotation operation.

[0033] It should be noted that ribs 10 are provided around the periphery of sleeve segment 3 and extend axially along the sleeve segment 3. The cross-section of ribs 10 is a convex arc. The connection between ribs 10 and sleeve segment 3 is achieved by welding, fusion, or integral molding to ensure a secure structure. The provision of ribs 10 increases the rigidity and strength of sleeve segment 3, improving its load-bearing capacity during rotational force. Furthermore, the provision of ribs 10 facilitates rotational operation by increasing the number of force points.

[0034] It should be noted that the sleeve segment 3 has a cylindrical structure with a plurality of ribs 10 evenly arranged around its periphery. The number of ribs 10 is not limited and they are evenly distributed along the circumference of the sleeve segment 3. When the sleeve segment 3 is subjected to external forces, the ribs 10 can effectively disperse and withstand these forces, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the sleeve segment 3.

[0035] It is worth noting that the anti-slip layer 11 is provided on the outer surface of the sleeve segment 3 and is composed of a plurality of evenly arranged protrusions 12. The shape, size, and distribution of the protrusions 12 can be designed according to actual needs to achieve the best anti-slip effect. The protrusions 12 are the main component of the anti-slip layer 11 and are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the sleeve segment 3. The shape of the protrusions 12 can be circular, oval, square, etc., depending on the actual application scenario and design requirements.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
