Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a faucet structure that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing faucet structures involve screwing a threaded tube to the bottom of the faucet body. This threaded tube extends through a mounting hole on the workbench and connects to a nut located underneath. Tightening the nut secures the faucet body to the workbench. For example, a low-cost faucet disclosed in Chinese patent CN219300025U requires the faucet body to be connected to a valve assembly for fixation on the workbench. The valve core is located inside the faucet body, which has corresponding water flow channels. Therefore, the faucet body must withstand both installation pressure and water flow pressure, making it prone to cracking under these pressures, especially if the material is plastic. Furthermore, during installation, the threaded tube is inserted into the mounting hole. The faucet's overall weight makes it prone to tilting, requiring auxiliary positioning on the workbench before installation and fixation. Disassembly and repair require removing the nut underneath the workbench before the faucet body can be removed. However, removing and installing the nut requires a wrench, which is not a common household tool, making this process extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a faucet structure that is easy to install, aiming to improve the problems of existing faucet structures being prone to cracking and inconvenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] An easy-to-install faucet structure includes a housing, a water-passing assembly, and a mounting tube. The housing is sleeved on the outside of the water-passing assembly, which is fixedly connected to the mounting tube and includes an inlet pipe, a valve core, and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is sleeved inside the mounting tube, and the outlet pipe is adapted to be connected to the inlet pipe. The valve core is disposed on the inlet pipe or the outlet pipe to control the flow of water between the inlet and outlet pipes. The mounting tube has a threaded portion and a limiting portion. The threaded portion is used to connect with a nut, and the size of the limiting portion is larger than the size of the mounting hole on the countertop, so as to cooperate with the nut to clamp the mounting surface.

[0006] As a further improvement, the housing is provided with an installation channel and an assembly cavity, the water inlet pipe is provided with an assembly part, the housing is configured to be sleeved on the outside of the water inlet pipe from top to bottom along the installation channel, and the assembly cavity is aligned with the assembly part, the valve core is configured to be inserted into the assembly part along the assembly cavity, and pressed onto the assembly part by a pressure cap.

[0007] As a further improvement, the limiting portion is a protrusion extending outward along the circumference of the mounting tube, and the mounting channel is adapted to the protrusion to limit the housing radially.

[0008] As a further improvement, the water inlet pipe is configured to be inserted into the installation pipe from top to bottom and connected to the installation pipe through a detachable structure. The installation pipe is provided with a first positioning part and a first connecting part, and the water inlet pipe is provided with a second positioning part and a second connecting part. The detachable structure is configured to connect the first connecting part and the second connecting part in an operable manner, and to make the first positioning part and the second positioning part abut and limit each other.

[0009] As a further improvement, the first positioning part is a first boss extending circumferentially along the top of the mounting pipe, and the second positioning part is a second boss extending outwardly along the circumferential side of the water inlet pipe.

[0010] As a further improvement, the first connecting part is a first thread provided on the inner wall of the mounting pipe, and the second connecting part is a second thread provided on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe.

[0011] As a further improvement, the first connecting part is a first screw hole provided on the first positioning part, and the second connecting part is a second screw hole provided on the second positioning part, and the two screw holes are connected and fixed by screws.

[0012] As a further improvement, the first connecting part is an insertion hole that passes through the installation pipe, and the second connecting part is protruding along the outer wall of the water inlet pipe. The second connecting part is limited by inserting a pin into the insertion hole.

[0013] As a further improvement, the first connecting part is configured as a slot, and the second connecting part is configured as a buckle, the buckle passing through the slot to abut and limit the first positioning part.

[0014] As a further improvement, the water inlet pipe includes an upper pipe and a lower pipe, the upper pipe and the lower pipe being connected by a thread to clamp and limit the installation pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0016] The faucet structure of this application is designed so that water pressure acts on the water-passing components, while the installation fixing force acts on the mounting pipe. This avoids the problem of cracking due to excessive stress on the housing, and also prevents the housing from detaching from the mounting structure due to rotation of the outlet pipe. Furthermore, this structure allows for easy assembly and disassembly on a tabletop via the mounting pipe. Disassembly can be performed without removing the nuts, simplifying user operation. Compared to existing technologies, no tools are needed to tighten the nuts, making faucet maintenance and replacement quick and convenient. In addition, the housing primarily serves an aesthetic function, allowing for compatibility with housings of different appearances. The water-passing components can be modularized to improve compatibility and reduce faucet costs. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example

[0041] Combination Figures 1 to 15This embodiment provides a faucet structure that is easy to install, including a housing 1, a water-passing assembly, and an installation pipe 3. The housing 1 is sleeved on the outside of the water-passing assembly, and the water-passing assembly is fixedly connected to the installation pipe 3. It includes an inlet pipe 21, a valve core 22, and an outlet pipe 23. The inlet pipe 21 is sleeved inside the installation pipe 3, and the outlet pipe 23 is adapted to be connected to the inlet pipe 21. The valve core 22 is disposed on the inlet pipe 21 or the outlet pipe 23 to control the flow of water between the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 23. The installation pipe 3 has a threaded part 31 and a limiting part 32. The threaded part 31 is used to connect with a nut 4, and the size of the limiting part 32 is larger than the size of the mounting hole on the countertop, so as to cooperate with the nut 4 to clamp the mounting countertop.

[0042] For example, valve core 22 is a ceramic on / off valve. Valve core 22 is connected to handle 221. Handle 221 is operated to open valve core 22, allowing water to flow from inlet pipe 21 into valve core 22 and then from valve core 22 to outlet pipe 23. Water pressure acts on the water-passing assembly, while housing 1 is not affected by water pressure. During installation, the mounting tube 3 is first inserted into the mounting hole from top to bottom. Under the action of limiting part 32, mounting tube 3 can be hung on the mounting platform. Then, nut 4 is screwed into threaded part 31 from below, clamping the limiting part 32 and nut 4 onto the mounting platform, thus fixing mounting tube 3. During the assembly of mounting tube 3, no auxiliary positioning on the platform is required to lock nut 4 in place. After mounting tube 3 is fixed, the water-passing assembly and housing 1 can be installed on the platform, ensuring that the fixing force with the platform acts on mounting tube 3.

[0043] It should be noted that the faucet structure in this embodiment is designed so that the water flow pressure acts on the water-passing components, while the installation and fixing force acts on the mounting pipe 3. This avoids the problem of the housing 1 cracking due to excessive stress, and also prevents the housing 1 from detaching from the mounting structure due to the rotation of the water outlet pipe 23. Furthermore, this structure allows for assembly and disassembly on a tabletop via the mounting pipe 3. Disassembly does not require removing the nut 4, making it convenient for users. Compared to existing technologies, there is no need to find tools to turn the nut 4, allowing for quick and easy maintenance and replacement of the faucet body. In addition, the housing 1 primarily serves an aesthetic function, ensuring that housings with different appearances can be compatible with the water-passing components. The corresponding water-passing components can be modularized to improve compatibility and reduce faucet costs.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an installation channel 11 and an assembly cavity 12, and the water inlet pipe 21 is provided with an assembly part 211. The housing 1 is configured to be fitted over the water inlet pipe 21 from top to bottom along the installation channel 11, and the assembly cavity 12 is aligned with the assembly part 211. The valve core 22 is configured to be inserted into the assembly part 211 along the assembly cavity 12 and pressed onto the assembly part 211 by a pressure cap 24. Further, the limiting part 32 is a protrusion extending outward along the circumference of the installation pipe 3, and the installation channel 11 is adapted to the protrusion to limit the housing 1 radially. The limiting part 32 can be fixed to the installation pipe 3 by welding, or integrally formed with the installation pipe 3, or it can be a flange screwed onto the threaded part 31, without specific limitation.

[0045] For example, the assembly part 211 and the pressure cap 24 are connected by threads. During installation, the inlet pipe 21 is first inserted into the mounting pipe 3 and fixed to it. Then, the housing 1 is inserted into the inlet pipe 21, and the assembly cavity 12 is adjusted to align with the assembly part 211. The valve core 22 is then inserted into the assembly cavity 12, and the pressure cap 24 is screwed in to press the valve core 22. The portion of the valve core 22 and the pressure cap 24 located in the assembly cavity 12 allows the housing 1 to be axially limited. Then, the outlet pipe 23 can be inserted into the inlet pipe 21. Preferably, a groove can be provided on the outlet pipe 23, and a connector 231 with a buckle is fitted inside the groove. During installation, the outlet pipe 23 is inserted into the inlet pipe 21 so that the buckle on the connector 231 engages with the housing 1, thereby limiting the outlet pipe 23 axially.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the inlet pipe 21 is configured to be inserted into the mounting pipe 3 from top to bottom and connected to the mounting pipe 3 via a detachable structure. Specifically, the mounting pipe 3 is provided with a first positioning part 33 and a first connecting part 34, and the inlet pipe 21 is provided with a second positioning part 212 and a second connecting part 213. The detachable structure is configured to allow the first connecting part 34 to connect with the second connecting part 213 in an operable manner, and to allow the first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 212 to abut and limit each other. Furthermore, the first positioning part 33 is a first protrusion extending circumferentially along the top of the mounting pipe 3, and the second positioning part 212 is a second protrusion extending outwardly along the circumferential side of the inlet pipe 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the detachable structure between the mounting pipe 3 and the inlet pipe 21 includes the following implementation:

[0047] Implementation Method 1: Refer to Figure 2The first connecting part 34 is a first thread on the inner wall of the mounting pipe 3, and the second connecting part 213 is a second thread on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 21. After the mounting pipe 3 is fixed, the water inlet pipe 21 can be installed by screwing the first thread into the second thread. To disassemble, the water inlet pipe 21 can be unscrewed. During the rotational installation of the water inlet pipe 21, the installation is complete when the first boss and the second boss abut against each other.

[0048] Implementation Method Two: Refer to Figures 3 to 5 The first connecting part 34 has a first screw hole on the first positioning part 33, and the second connecting part 213 has a second screw hole on the second positioning part 212. The two screw holes are connected and fixed by screws 5. During installation, the first screw hole and the second screw hole are aligned, and the screws 5 are screwed in, which is convenient and quick.

[0049] Implementation Method 3: Refer to Figures 5 to 8 The first connecting part 34 is a through-hole provided for the installation pipe 3, and the second connecting part 213 protrudes along the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 21. A pin 6 is inserted into the through-hole to limit the second connecting part 213. Preferably, the pin 6 is U-shaped. During installation, the water inlet pipe 21 is inserted, and when the first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 212 abut against each other, the protrusion on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 21 is located below the through-hole. Then, the pin 6 is inserted into the through-hole to limit the water inlet pipe 21. Disassembly is quick and easy; simply pull out the pin 6.

[0050] Implementation Method Four: Refer to Figures 9 to 12 The first connecting part 34 is configured as a slot, and the second connecting part 213 is configured as a buckle. The buckle passes through the slot to abut and limit the first positioning part 33. The water inlet pipe 21 is made of plastic. The buckle is inclined outward and has a certain degree of elasticity. When it is inserted into the slot, it retracts inward. After it is inserted out of the slot, it expands outward to abut against the upper limit of the first positioning part 33. At this time, the first positioning part 33 and the second positioning part 212 abut against each other, so that the water inlet pipe 21 and the installation pipe 3 are limited.

[0051] In other embodiments, refer to Figures 13 to 15 The water inlet pipe 21 includes an upper pipe 214 and a lower pipe 215. The upper pipe 214 and the lower pipe 215 are connected by threads to clamp and limit the installation pipe 3. During installation, after the installation pipe 3 is fixed, the lower pipe 215 passes through the installation pipe 3 from under the platform, and the upper pipe 214 passes through the installation pipe 3 from the platform. Tightening the upper pipe 214 and the lower pipe 215 clamps and fixes the installation pipe 3. Preferably, the nut 4 used to connect with the installation pipe 3 is provided with an operating part 41 that is in the shape of a straight line or a cross, so that the user or installer can hold the operating part 41 to drive the nut 4 to rotate.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
