Detailed Implementation

[0037] Example 1

[0038] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment will be described in detail.

[0039] This embodiment provides a rotary joint assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, its two ends are used to connect the valve body 10 of the faucet and the water outlet pipe 20, respectively. It includes a water connector 30 and a first adapter 40. The water connector 30 and the first adapter 40 are provided with interconnected flow channels. The water connector 30 is provided with a first connection position 301 and a second connection position 302. The first connection position 301 is rotatably connected to the valve body 10 around its axis. One end of the first adapter 40 is sealed and adapted to the second connection position 302. The other end of the first adapter 40 is sealed and adapted to the water outlet pipe 20, so that the water outlet pipe 20 can rotate relative to the water connector 30 around the axis of the second connection position 302. The axes of the first connection position 301 and the second connection position 302 are not collinear. The non-collinearity is defined as the axes of the first connection position 301 and the second connection position 302 being neither parallel nor coincident. Specifically, the axes of the first connecting position 301 and the second connecting position 302 are perpendicular to each other. In other embodiments, the axes of the first connecting position 301 and the second connecting position 302 are not perpendicular to each other.

[0040] In this embodiment, Figure 2The water passing joint 30 is shown, the first connecting position 301 is a protrusion, the protrusion is provided with a flow channel; further comprising a first limiting structure, the first limiting structure comprises a first fixing piece 501 and a first limiting buckle 502 which limits the first fixing piece 501, which are sequentially sleeved on the periphery of the protrusion. Among them, the first fixing piece 501 can be connected to the valve body 10, and the first connecting position 301 can rotate relative to the first fixing piece 501, and the first limiting buckle 502 is clamped on the first connecting position 301. When the water passing joint 30 is separated from the valve body 10 or there is a tendency to separate, the first limiting buckle 502 abuts against the first fixing piece 501 to prevent the water passing joint 30 from separating from the valve body 10.

[0041] In the embodiment, the protrusion is provided with a first limiting groove 3011 matched with the first limiting buckle 502, so that the first limiting buckle 502 is located at least partially in the first limiting groove 3011, and the other part can abut against the end face of the first fixing piece 501, so that the anti-separation force is changed from friction force to limiting clamping force, and the anti-separation effect is improved. Further, the first limiting buckle 502 is made of elastic material, when the water passing joint 30 is separated from the valve body 10, the first limiting groove 3011 drives the first limiting buckle 502 to abut against the first fixing piece 501, the first limiting buckle 502 is elastically deformed under stress, which can buffer the extrusion force and avoid mutual abrasion between the first connecting position 301 and the first fixing piece 501.

[0042] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 The flow channel of the first adapter 40 comprises a first channel 4051 and a second channel 4052 which are connected to each other, the first channel 4051 and the second channel 4052 are non-coaxially connected, so that the connection part of the first channel 4051 and the second channel 4052 forms a step difference 406. When the water flow passes through the step difference 406, the flow rate decreases, which has a buffering effect on the water flow, softens the water outlet, and improves the user experience.

[0043] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 The gap between the first adapter 40 and the second connecting position 302 is provided with a water inlet cavity 404, and the first adapter 40 is provided with a plurality of water inlet holes 403 which communicate the water inlet cavity 404 and the internal flow channel of the first adapter 40. Therefore, when the first adapter 40 rotates, the water flow flows from the plurality of water inlet holes 403 into the first adapter 40 from the water inlet cavity 404, and the multi-angle water inlet collides with each other to reduce the flow rate, which further moderates the water flow, and cooperates with the aforementioned step difference 406 to make the water outlet more soft.

[0044] In the embodiment, a second limiting structure is arranged between the first adapter 40 and the second connecting position 302, and the second limiting structure comprises a second fixing member 601 and a second limiting buckle 602. The second limiting buckle 602 is rotatably adapted to one end of the first adapter 40 inserted into the second connecting position 302, and the second fixing member 601 is arranged through the water pass joint 30 and inserted into a fixing hole arranged in the second limiting buckle 602, so as to prevent the first adapter 40 from being separated from the second connecting position 302. Further, Figure 3 The first adapter 40 is shown, which is a connecting shaft provided with a second limiting groove 401 adapted to the second limiting buckle 602. The water pass joint 30 is provided with a connecting hole 303 for arranging the second fixing member 601 threaded therein.
