Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a shower device, especially a curved foot. BACKGROUND

[0002] The prior art, Chinese patent 201810939219.6, discloses a curved foot connecting structure, which comprises a curved foot and a connecting pipe. The curved foot and the connecting pipe are connected through insertion and can rotate relative to each other. A sealing ring is arranged between the curved foot and the connecting pipe. A faucet comprises a body and the curved foot connecting structure described above. The connecting pipe is connected to the body. The curved foot connecting structure and the faucet using the structure can only adjust the angle relationship between the curved foot and the connecting pipe during installation. The two are sealed by the sealing ring and do not need to use raw rubber, thereby eliminating problems such as easy detachment and wear of the rubber tape. However, there are still problems such as water leakage due to temperature changes. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a curved foot which has good sealing performance and is not affected by temperature changes.

[0004] The utility model is implemented in the following manner: a curved foot, which is characterized by comprising an external thread joint pipe portion, a seat plate portion, an insertion pipe portion, and a sealing sleeve,

[0005] The insertion pipe portion is provided with a sealing groove and an annular positioning groove at the overhanging end.

[0006] The outer circumferential surface of the sealing sleeve is in the shape of a truncated cone.

[0007] The external thread joint pipe portion and the insertion pipe portion are respectively located on the two sides of the seat plate portion and are connected, and the axes of the external thread joint pipe portion and the insertion pipe portion are spaced apart. The sealing sleeve is arranged in the sealing groove and has a top circular end facing the overhanging end of the insertion pipe portion.

[0008] The curved foot is characterized in that the seat plate portion has two flat surfaces for driving by a rotating tool.

[0009] The curved foot is characterized in that the seat plate portion comprises a rectangular portion and circular arc portions at both ends.

[0010] The curved foot is characterized in that the sealing sleeve is made of silica gel material.

[0011] The curved foot is characterized in that the bottom plate of the annular positioning groove is in the shape of a truncated cone and has a bottom circular end facing the overhanging end of the insertion pipe portion.

[0012] This utility model features a curved foot and a sealing sleeve with an outer circumferential surface shaped like a frustum cone, which improves sealing performance and maintains sealing performance even during temperature changes, thermal expansion or contraction of the sealing sleeve.
