Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet protection technology, specifically a faucet protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Faucets are indispensable devices in daily life and various water-using situations. Traditional faucets often focus only on basic water flow control, while lacking in protection. Typically, the faucet's spout bend and surrounding area are directly exposed, lacking effective protective structures. This is especially true for water purifier faucets, which usually have long, thin bends.
[0003] This exposed design makes the faucet susceptible to various external impacts during long-term use, which can lead to deformation and damage of the water outlet bend, affecting normal use and potentially causing leaks. Furthermore, in some scenarios with special needs, such as when using water in the kitchen, the lack of a dedicated draining device to collect residual water droplets can easily wet the countertop, causing inconvenience.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a faucet protective structure includes a faucet body 1 and a protective component disposed on the faucet body 1. The protective component includes a housing 2, with a support leg 3 threadedly connected to the bottom of the housing 2. Multiple support legs 3 are provided. A protective plate 4 is provided on the top of the housing 2. A water outlet bend 5 is provided on the faucet body 1. A protective groove 6 adapted to the water outlet bend 5 is provided on the protective plate 4. A reset component is provided inside the housing 2. The reset component includes a connecting shaft 7. A pulley assembly 8 is provided between the connecting shaft 7 and the water outlet bend 5. A drain basket 9 is provided on one side of the housing 2. The drain basket 9 meets the need to collect residual water droplets in special scenarios, effectively preventing the countertop from getting wet, keeping the surrounding environment dry and clean, and improving the convenience and hygiene of use.
[0025] The reset assembly includes a base 10, and the connecting shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on the base 10. A first spring 11 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 7, and one end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the base 10.
[0026] The pulley assembly 8 includes a driving pulley 12, a driven pulley 13, and a toothed belt 14. The driven pulley 13 is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft 7, and the driving pulley 12 is fixedly installed on the water outlet bend 5. The driven pulley 13 and the driving pulley 12 are connected by a toothed belt 14. One end of the first spring 11 is fixedly connected to the driven pulley.
[0027] A ratchet 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 7. A bracket 16 is fixedly connected inside the housing 2. A push rod 17 is slidably connected to the bracket 16. A tooth 18 is fixedly connected to the push rod 17, and the tooth 18 engages with the ratchet 15 to limit the rotation direction of the ratchet 15. One end of the push rod 17 passes through the housing 2 and extends to the outside of the housing 2. A pull ring 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod 17 outside the housing 2. A second spring 20 is sleeved on the push rod 17, located between the tooth 18 and the bracket 16. The second spring 20 provides a preload force to move the tooth 18 toward the ratchet 15. The cooperation between the ratchet 15 and the limiting structure can precisely control the rotation direction of the connecting shaft 7, ensuring the working stability and reliability of the entire reset assembly, and further guaranteeing the normal functioning of the protective structure.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] Using this device, the outlet bend 5 is rotated to disengage from the protective groove 6. Since the teeth 18 only restrict the ratchet 15 from rotating counterclockwise, the drive wheel 12 installed on the outlet bend 5 rotates accordingly. This drives the driven wheel 13 on the connecting shaft 7 to rotate via the toothed belt 14. The connecting shaft 7 begins to rotate, and the first spring 11 is stretched or compressed. At the same time, the ratchet 15 on the connecting shaft 7 also rotates. The teeth 18 slide normally on the ratchet 15 without affecting its rotation.
[0030] When water usage is finished and the faucet is closed, the pull ring 19 can be pulled. The pull ring 19 drives the push rod 17 to move outward, overcoming the elastic force of the second spring 20, causing the teeth 18 to disengage from the ratchet 15. Under the restoring force of the first spring 11, the connecting shaft 7 begins to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the driven wheel 13 to rotate in reverse. Power is transmitted through the toothed belt 14, causing the driving wheel 12 to drive the water outlet bend 5 to move towards the protective groove 6 of the protective plate 4 until the water outlet bend 5 is fully reset and enters the protective groove 6, completing the protective action in one water outlet cycle. After completing the corresponding operation, the pull ring 19 is released. Under the action of the second spring 20, the teeth 18 re-engage with the ratchet 15, restoring the function of restricting the rotation direction of the ratchet 15.
[0031] The drain basket 9 can hold miscellaneous items and drain kitchen utensils, effectively preventing the countertop from getting wet, keeping the surrounding environment dry and clean, and improving the convenience and hygiene of use.
