Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet accessories technology, and in particular to a faucet extender. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet extender extends the water spout to a further location, eliminating the need to move the faucet when washing dishes or vegetables, thus saving time and effort. It also makes cleaning the sink easier and ensures water coverage even with low flow rates, improving user comfort. Furthermore, a faucet extender prevents water from splashing out, keeping the bathroom dry and clean.

[0003] Currently, most faucet extenders on the market are equipped with universal joints, allowing for both extending the water outlet and adjusting the water flow direction. However, the length of many faucet extenders is not freely adjustable, which limits their usability. Additionally, some faucet extenders on the market do have length adjustment capabilities, typically achieved through a coiled bend. However, the bend in these extenders is directly exposed, resulting in poor aesthetics, and the coiled bend takes up considerable space when the faucet extender is not needed. Utility Model Content

[0041] Detailed implementation plan: See below Figures 1-8 This utility model is a faucet extender, comprising:

[0042] Main bushing 1;

[0043] The first mounting element 2 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the main sleeve 1, and the upper end of the first mounting element 2 is provided with a universal joint 22;

[0044] Upper connector 3 is installed on universal connector 22 and is used to connect to a faucet;

[0045] The lower sleeve 6 has an assembled state where it is installed below the main sleeve 1, and a used state where it is disassembled and detached from the main sleeve 1.

[0046] The second mounting element 5 is detachably mounted on the upper end of the lower connecting sleeve 6;

[0047] The hose 4 extends in a spiral shape and is fixedly installed between the first mounting element 2 and the second mounting element 5. In the assembled state, the hose 4 is arranged inside the main sleeve 1. In the use state, the lower end of the hose 4 extends below the main sleeve 1.

[0048] The water outlet 7 is installed below the second mounting element 5.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of this example, please refer to Figures 5-7 As can be seen, the lower end of the first mounting element 2 is provided with an upper connector 23, and the upper end of the second mounting element 5 is provided with a lower connector 51. The upper and lower ends of the hose 4 are respectively inserted into the upper connector 23 and the lower connector 51.

[0050] Then, in this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the hose 4 are respectively fitted with a first fastener 8 and a second fastener 9. The first fastener 8 is screwed and fixed on the upper connector 23, and the second fastener 9 is screwed and fixed on the lower connector 51.

[0051] Please see here. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the hose 4 itself has a certain degree of elasticity. When installing the hose 4, the end of the hose 4 can expand the through hole at the end through the elastic deformation of the hose 4 itself, and is initially fixed to the upper connector 23 and the lower connector 51. After the initial fixing is completed, the first fastener 8 needs to be screwed on the upper connector 23 and the second fastener 9 needs to be screwed on the lower connector 51 to further ensure the connection stability between the end of the hose 4 and the upper connector 23, and between the end of the hose 4 and the lower connector 51.

[0052] Next, please refer to Figure 1 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the lower end of the water outlet 7 extends below the lower connecting sleeve 6.

[0053] In addition, the lower end of the water outlet 7 is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve 71.

[0054] Here, since the lower end of the water outlet 7 extends below the lower connecting sleeve 6, even if the water flow from the water outlet 7 is large, it will not splash onto the lower connecting sleeve 6. Furthermore, when it is necessary to disassemble the water outlet 7, the anti-slip sleeve 71 must be held to rotate the water outlet 7 (the installation method of the water outlet 7 will be mentioned below). Therefore, placing the anti-slip sleeve 71 below the lower connecting sleeve 6 also facilitates the user's disassembly of the water outlet 7.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the upper end of the main sleeve 1 is provided with an upwardly extending socket 11, the first mounting element 2 is screwed and fixed in the socket 11, the upper end of the first mounting element 2 is provided with a connecting pipe 21, and the universal joint 22 is provided at the upper end of the connecting pipe 21.

[0056] Then, please continue reading. Figure 5 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the second mounting element 5 is screwed and fixed in the lower sleeve 6, and the lower end of the second mounting element 5 is provided with a mounting connector 52 for screwing and fixing the water supply head 7.

[0057] The assembly process of the faucet extender in this embodiment is described below:

[0058] First, the hose 4 needs to be passed through the main sleeve 1 (the hose 4 is already fitted with the first fastener 8 and the second fastener 9). As described above, the two ends of the hose 4 are respectively fitted and fixed to the upper connector 23 and the lower connector 51. Then, the first mounting element 2 is screwed and fixed to the socket 11 (since the universal joint 22 and the upper connector 3 have been pre-installed on the first mounting element 2, no additional installation is required). The second mounting element 5 is screwed and fixed in the lower sleeve 6. Next, the water outlet 7 is screwed and fixed to the mounting connector 52. Finally, the lower sleeve 6 is installed below the main sleeve 1.

[0059] When you need to install the faucet extender on the faucet, simply screw the upper connector 3 onto the faucet.

[0060] Note that in this embodiment, since the first mounting element 2 is screwed onto the socket 11 and the second mounting element 5 is screwed onto the lower sleeve 6, the disassembly and installation of each component of the faucet extender are very convenient.

[0061] Then, please see Figure 4 and Figure 5As can be seen, in this embodiment, the lower inner wall edge of the main sleeve 1 is provided with at least one first retaining strip 12, the upper end of the lower connecting sleeve 6 is provided with an annular protrusion 61, and the outer wall of the annular protrusion 61 is provided with at least one second retaining strip 62. In the assembled state, the annular protrusion 61 is inserted into the main sleeve 1, and the second retaining strip 62 abuts against the upper end of the first retaining strip 12. One end of the first retaining strip 12 is provided with an upwardly extending limiting block 13.

[0062] In this embodiment, the assembly principle of the lower sleeve 6 and the main sleeve 1 is as follows:

[0063] Insert the annular protrusion 61 of the lower sleeve 6 upwards into the lower end of the main sleeve 1. Note that at this time, the second locking strip 62 needs to be misaligned with the first locking strip 12. Then, by rotating the lower sleeve 6 and causing the second locking strip 62 to rotate to the upper end of the first locking strip 12, the assembly of the lower sleeve 6 and the main sleeve 1 can be completed. The limiting block 13 is set to form a rotation limit (the lower sleeve 6 will not detach from the main sleeve 1 by pulling it downwards).

[0064] When it is necessary to detach the lower sleeve 6 from the main sleeve 1, rotate the lower sleeve 6 in the opposite direction until the second locking strip 62 and the first locking strip 12 are misaligned, then pull the lower sleeve 6 out downwards.

[0065] Note: Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, after pulling down the lower connecting sleeve 6, since the water outlet 7 is fixed on the lower connecting sleeve 6, the user can grasp the lower connecting sleeve 6 for use, and can freely adjust the water outlet direction of the water outlet 7 and the extension length of the hose 4.

[0066] More specifically, the upper connector 3 is equipped with a filter screen 32, and the upper connector 3 is also equipped with a washer 31 for installing the universal connector 22.

[0067] The above description of a faucet extender of this utility model is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of this utility model using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
