Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a kitchen faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Most kitchen faucets on the market today have two water inlet pipes: one for cold water and one for hot water. The connection between these two hoses and the valve core seat is mostly achieved through threaded installation. However, threaded hoses often lose one or two threads due to vibrations during transportation or twisting during installation, leading to leaks at the hose seal over time. To address this issue, some faucets on the market use snap-on hoses. However, snap-on hoses are more cumbersome and time-consuming to install, and their structure is relatively complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a kitchen faucet.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A kitchen faucet includes a body, a valve core seat disposed within the body, and a water inlet hose with one end insertable into the valve core seat. An annular groove is provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet hose located below the lower end face of the valve core seat. The faucet also includes a card with a slot. A side wall of the card located around the slot can be placed within the annular groove. The card also has a through hole. A connection hole that mates with the through hole is provided on the lower end face of the valve core seat. A groove that communicates with the connection hole is provided on the side wall of the valve core seat. A nut that mates with the connection hole is disposed within the groove. A screw that engages with the nut is disposed within the through hole to fix the water inlet hose to the valve core seat.

[0006] In this embodiment of the utility model, the card is provided with a notch, the notch can communicate with the card slot, and a through hole is provided on each side of the card located on the notch.

[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, the card can abut against the lower end face of the valve core seat.

[0008] In this embodiment of the utility model, the main body is provided with a vertical space and a horizontal space that are connected. The valve core seat can be placed in the vertical space and the horizontal space. One side of the valve core seat can be fixed in the horizontal space. The water inlet hose is set in the vertical space and inserted into the valve core seat from bottom to top.

[0009] In this embodiment of the utility model, a valve core that can cooperate with a valve core seat is also provided in the transverse space. A pressure cap that can cooperate with the valve core seat is provided on the outer periphery of the valve core. It also includes a locking nut. The locking nut can tightly cooperate between the valve core and the valve core seat. The pressure cap and the outer periphery of the locking nut can be connected to the internal thread of the inner periphery of the transverse space. A control handle is also provided on the outer side of the body. The control handle can be connected to the valve core.

[0010] In this embodiment of the utility model, a water outlet bend is also included. The lower end of the water outlet bend is inserted into the upper end of the vertical space and can be connected to the water outlet end of the valve core.

[0011] The kitchen faucet of this utility model has the following advantages: the method of directly inserting the water inlet hose into the valve core seat and then locking it with screws is convenient for installation and solves the problem of the water inlet hose loosening.

In use, it has two water inlet hoses, one for cold water and one for hot water, i.e., two slots. The side wall of the clip located around the slot can be placed within the annular groove. During installation, the water inlet hose is snapped into the clip before being connected to the valve core seat. The clip also has a through hole 42. The lower end face of the valve core seat has a connection hole 21 that matches the through hole. The side wall of the valve core seat has a groove 22 that communicates with the connection hole. A nut 23 that matches the connection hole is placed in the groove. A screw 80 that matches the nut is placed in the through hole to fix the water inlet hose to the valve core seat.

[0026] Preferably, the card has a notch 43 that communicates with a card slot. Each side of the notch has a through hole. During installation, the screw is first inserted into the through hole, and then engaged with the nut. The card abuts against the lower end face of the valve core seat.

[0027] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a vertical space 11 and a horizontal space 12 that are connected. The valve core seat can be placed in the vertical space and the horizontal space.

The outer periphery of the valve core is provided with a pressure cap 60 that can cooperate with the valve core seat. It also includes a locking nut 51. The locking nut can tightly cooperate with the valve core and the valve core seat to achieve end face sealing and prevent water leakage. The outer periphery of the pressure cap and the locking nut can be connected to the internal thread of the inner periphery of the horizontal space. The outer side of the main body is also provided with a control handle 52. The control handle can be connected to the valve core to realize the control of the valve core.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a water outlet bend 70, the lower end of which is inserted into the upper end of the vertical space and can be connected to the water outlet end of the valve core.

[0029] More specifically, this utility model describes a hose assembly consisting of a clip, a screw, and a hose that can be directly inserted into and fixed to the valve seat. The hose assembly is directly inserted into the valve seat without affecting its installation, and the assembly is completed internally, not externally. The assembly mainly includes a valve seat, a nut, a clip, a hose, and screws. The valve seat and hose are not threaded but plugged in, with a sealing ring between them. The hose is secured to the valve seat by the clip, which has a groove for the nut. The nut has a large contact area, improving the stability of the hose. Alternatively, it can be directly locked to the valve seat (but with relatively weaker strength). The clip has two U-shaped slots for holding the hose, and screws are used to secure the hose assembly to the valve seat. The nut is inserted into the valve core seat to lock the hose assembly onto the valve core seat (the metal nut ensures the stability of the hose assembly); during installation: Step 1: Insert the valve core seat into the body and fix it; Step 2: Install the valve core handle, etc.; Step 3: Insert the hose assembly into the body and tighten the screw and nut with a screwdriver to fix the hose assembly on the valve core seat.
