Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and specifically relates to a novel snap-fit ​​faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and thus saving water. Faucets are constantly being updated and replaced, evolving from old-fashioned cast iron faucets to electroplated knob faucets, and then to stainless steel single-temperature single-control faucets, stainless steel dual-temperature dual-control faucets, and semi-automatic kitchen faucets.

[0003] The traditional rotary switch and valve core connection method of faucets has many drawbacks. The common threaded connection method requires precise alignment of the rotary switch and valve core and multiple rotations to complete the connection during installation, which is cumbersome and inefficient. After long-term use, the threads are prone to wear and tear, leading to loose connections and leaks, which affect the normal use of the faucet. In addition, the threaded connection method has no safety mode, which can cause liquid leakage in case of accidental activation or unintentional turning of the switch, increasing the user's losses. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a new type of snap-fit ​​faucet that is easy to install.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A novel snap-fit ​​faucet includes a faucet body, a valve core, and a rotary switch mounted on the valve core. The valve core has a mounting groove at its top, and a snap-fit ​​device is provided within the mounting groove. The rotary switch is connected to the valve core via the snap-fit ​​device. The snap-fit ​​device has a fixed base, a T-shaped groove within the fixed base, and a snap-fit ​​unit within the T-shaped groove. The snap-fit ​​unit has symmetrically moving plates, and an elastic band with an internal return spring is positioned between the moving plates. Several snap-fit ​​blocks are provided on the outer surface of the moving plates. The inner wall of the mounting groove has a slot corresponding to the snap-fit ​​blocks, and the fixed base has a through hole for the snap-fit ​​blocks to pass through and extend outwards.

[0006] In the above-mentioned novel snap-fit ​​faucet, a compression unit is provided on the top of the movable plate. The compression unit consists of a connecting block and a compression plate. A through hole corresponding to the compression plate is provided on the fixed base, and the compression plate is fixedly installed in the through hole.

[0007] In the aforementioned novel snap-fit ​​faucet, a limiting ring is provided on the outer wall of the fixing seat to prevent the fixing seat from suddenly popping out when the snap-fit ​​unit is tightened.

[0008] In the aforementioned novel snap-fit ​​faucet, the fixing base is T-shaped overall.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, this new snap-fit ​​faucet only requires aligning the snap-fit ​​device with the valve core and pressing it down to complete the snap-fit, eliminating the need for multiple rotations as with threaded connections, thus greatly improving installation efficiency. Its unique snap-fit ​​design, utilizing the synergistic effect of components such as elastic bands, return springs, snap-fit ​​blocks, and compression units, increases the safety of the faucet.

[0014] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the faucet with the new snap-fit ​​structure includes a faucet body 1, a valve core 2, and a rotary switch 3 installed on the valve core 2. The valve core 2 has an installation groove 4 on its top, and a snap-fit ​​device is provided in the installation groove 4. The rotary switch 3 is connected to the valve core 2 through the snap-fit ​​device. The snap-fit ​​device is provided with a fixing seat 5. The upper end of the fixing seat 5 is installed on the installation hole of the rotary switch 3, and its lower end is fixed in the installation groove 4 of the valve core 2. A T-shaped groove 6 is provided in the fixing seat 5. The T-shaped groove 6 is square in shape to facilitate the installation of the snap-fit ​​unit. A snap-fit ​​unit is provided in the T-shaped groove 6. A symmetrical movable plate 7 is provided on the snap-fit ​​unit. An elastic band 8 with a return spring inside is provided between the movable plates 7. Several snap-fit ​​blocks 9 are provided on the outer surface of the movable plates 7. A snap-fit ​​groove 10 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​block 9 is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 4. A through hole 11 for the snap-fit ​​block 9 to pass through and extend out is provided on the fixing seat 5.

[0016] To elaborate further, the top of the movable plate 7 is provided with a compression unit, which consists of a connecting block 12 and a compression plate 13. The fixed base 5 has a through hole 14 corresponding to the compression plate 13, and the compression plate 13 is fixedly installed in the through hole 14.

[0017] By squeezing the compression plate 13, the moving plate 7 inside the fixed seat 5 slowly moves closer to the center, and the snap-fit ​​block 9 moves into the through hole 11 of the fixed seat 5 and completely moves out of the slot 10. At this time, the fixed seat 5 can be pulled upward so that the snap-fit ​​block 9 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove 4, and then the rotary switch 3 can be turned. The valve core 2 will not rotate with the rotary switch 3. Conversely, if it is necessary to open the valve core 2, the fixed seat 5 can be pressed downward so that the snap-fit ​​block 9 is firmly abutted against the slot 10, and then the rotary switch 3 can be turned.

[0018] To elaborate further, a limiting ring 15 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing seat 5 to prevent the fixing seat 5 from suddenly popping out when the snap-fit ​​unit is tightened.

[0019] To elaborate further, the mounting base 5 is T-shaped overall.

[0020] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0021] Although this document frequently uses terms such as faucet body 1, valve core 2, rotary switch 3, mounting groove 4, fixing base 5, T-slot 6, moving plate 7, elastic band 8, snap-fit ​​block 9, snap-fit ​​groove 10, through hole 11, connecting block 12, compression plate 13, through hole 14, and limiting ring 15, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
