[0029] Reference Figure 1 A mounting structure for an induction faucet, wherein the induction faucet includes a water outlet pipe 10 and a base 20; the water outlet pipe 10 and the base 20 are connected by a mounting structure; specifically, the mounting structure includes a faucet connector 11, which is completely located inside the base 20 and has no exposed portion; the faucet connector 11 is installed at the connection between the water outlet pipe 10 and the base 20, and the faucet connector 11 is used to rotatably connect the water outlet pipe 10 to the base 20.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 10 is rotatably embedded from the top end of the base 20 and limited by the faucet connector 11, so that the water outlet pipe 10 can be rotated but cannot be pulled out from the base 20; specifically, the faucet connector 11 includes: a rotation-stopping sleeve 111, which is sleeved on the water outlet pipe 10, and the relative position of the rotation-stopping sleeve 111 and the water outlet pipe 10 remains unchanged, the upper surface of the rotation-stopping sleeve 111 is against the base 20, and the upper surface of the inner edge of the rotation-stopping sleeve 111 is provided with a groove 1111 along its circumference; the base 2 The portion corresponding to the anti-rotation sleeve 111 has a protrusion 21, which is movably embedded in the groove 1111. When the outlet pipe 10 rotates, the relative position of the anti-rotation sleeve 111 and the outlet pipe 10 remains unchanged, causing the outlet pipe 10 to drive the anti-rotation sleeve 111 to rotate. At the same time, since the anti-rotation sleeve 111 has blocking portions 1113 at both ends of the groove 1111, the travel of the protrusion 21 in the groove 1111 is limited, so that the outlet pipe 10 can rotate on the base 20 according to a predetermined angle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the presence of the blocking portion 1113 makes the groove 1111 distributed in a "C" shape. When the protrusion 21 is located in the middle of the groove 1111, the protrusion 21 can move to the two extreme positions of the groove 1111 at an angle of 91° respectively, so that the water outlet pipe 10 can rotate at least 180°.

[0031] As a further improvement of the above structure, the mounting structure further includes: an annular groove 12, which is opened on the side wall of the water outlet pipe 10, and the annular groove 12 is located near the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 10; at the same time, the faucet connector 11 further includes: a retaining spring 112, which is detachably fixed in the annular groove 12, and the top of the retaining spring 112 is against the bottom of the anti-rotation sleeve 111, such as Figure 2 As shown, the retaining spring 112 is located at the lower end of the anti-rotation sleeve 111. The upper end of the anti-rotation sleeve 111 is constrained by the concave portion of the base 20, and the lower end is constrained by the retaining spring 112, thereby maintaining the position of the anti-rotation sleeve 111 at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 10; specifically, the projection of the retaining spring 112 in the height direction is a "C"-shaped structure, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the water outlet pipe 10 has a bevel. After the anti-rotation sleeve 111 is installed, the inner side of the retaining spring 112 can be pressed against the bevel and pushed in through the bevel. The retaining spring 112 can be elastically deformed to expand outward through the middle part of the "C"-shaped structure until the retaining spring 112 is stuck in the annular groove 12 and deformed back, and the installation of the retaining spring 112 is completed.

[0032] Based on the above structure, the installation structure further includes: a positioning recess 13, which is opened at the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 10, and a positioning protrusion 1112 is also provided on the inner side of the anti-rotation sleeve 111. Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, after the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 10 passes through the upper end of the base 20, the anti-rotation sleeve 111 is installed from the bottom up so that the positioning protrusion 1112 is embedded in the positioning recess 13, thereby realizing the function of the water outlet pipe 10 to limit the rotation of the anti-rotation sleeve 111, that is, the water outlet pipe 10 drives the anti-rotation sleeve 111 to rotate, and the upper surface of the inner edge of the anti-rotation sleeve 111 between the blocking part 1113 has a thickened part 1114, and the positioning protrusion 1112 is located on the thickened part 1114.

[0033] The above installation structure, the specific installation steps are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, first insert the outlet pipe 10 into the opening at the upper end of the base 20. The side wall of the outlet pipe 10 has an outwardly thickened abutment portion 113. After inserting the opening at the upper end of the base 20, ensure that the lower surface of the abutment portion 113 abuts against the upper surface of the base 20; then use a tool such as a screwdriver to install the anti-rotation sleeve 111 at the bottom of the outlet pipe 10 from the bottom gap of the base 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in the steps from the upper left to the upper right, at this time, attention should be paid to whether the positions of the positioning protrusion 1112 and the positioning recess 13 are aligned, and whether the protrusion 21 in the base 20 is embedded in the groove 1111; then install the retaining spring 112 into the annular groove 12 through the bottom of the outlet pipe 10. There is a bevel at the bottom of the outlet pipe 10. After the anti-rotation sleeve 111 is installed, the inner side of the retaining spring 112 can be pressed against the bevel through the bevel and pushed in. The retaining spring 112 can realize elastic deformation to expand outward through the middle part of the "C"-shaped structure until the retaining spring 112 is stuck in the annular groove 12 and deformed back, and the installation of the retaining spring 112 can be completed; after the retaining spring 112 is installed, the installation of the elbow and the base 20 can be completed.

[0034] Furthermore, the induction faucet further includes a sensor 22, which is installed in the base 20, and the sensing end of the sensor 22 extends outside the base 20; the mounting structure further includes a sensor connector 23 for fixing the sensor 22 on the base 20;

[0035] Specifically, the sensor connector 23 includes: a connecting portion 231 located on the outer side wall of the sensor connector 23 and an external supporting portion 232 located in the middle of the sensor connector 23, the external supporting portion 232 is connected to the connecting portion 231, and the connecting portion 231 and the external connecting portion are integrally formed, wherein the sensor 22 is engaged with the connecting portion 231; the outer side of the external supporting portion 232 abuts against the inner wall of the base 20. During installation, it is necessary to first stick the sensor 22 on the base 20 with double-sided tape 24, and then manually squeeze the two external supporting portions 232 inward to deform them, and then insert them from the lower end of the base 20 so that the connecting portion 231 is engaged with the sensor 22.

[0036] Specifically, an elastic snap-fit ​​piece 2311 is installed at the top of the connecting portion 231, and a clamping block 2312 is installed at the top of the elastic snap-fit ​​piece 2311. Figure 6 As shown, the outer edge of the upper surface of the block 2312 has a bevel. When the sensor connector 23 is installed from the bottom upward, the bevel forces the elastic snap-on piece 2311 to deform toward the center of the base 20. When the block 2312 exceeds the sensor 22, the elastic snap-on piece 2311 deforms back, causing the block 2312 to clamp onto the top of the sensor 22. At this time, the top of the sensor 22 abuts against the bottom of the block 2312, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown;

[0037] Furthermore, guard plates 2313 are installed on both sides of the connecting portion 231 , and the sensor 22 is installed between the two guard plates 2313 to stabilize the position of the sensor 22 .

[0038] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a kitchen faucet, the elbow and base 20 of the kitchen faucet adopt the above-mentioned installation structure of the induction faucet. The implementation effect of a kitchen faucet in this embodiment is consistent with the above, and will not be repeated here.
