[0022] In an alternative embodiment, the switch 15 can include a first switch and a second switch. The first switch and the second switch can be used to control the large and small water flow of the rotatable positioning faucet water outlet, respectively.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 of the rotatable positioning faucet both have a certain structural strength and are made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, zinc alloy, plastic, etc.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, the lower shell 12 of the rotatable positioning faucet can be fixedly installed on a fixed table. For example, the lower part of the lower shell 12 of the rotatable positioning faucet can be fixedly installed on the fixed table through nuts, gaskets, etc. The fixed table can be the fixed table of a kitchen sink, the fixed table of a bathroom sink, or the fixed table of other water supply equipment, etc., which is not limited in the present embodiment. Since the specific assembly structure of the lower shell 12 of the rotatable positioning faucet and the fixed table is the existing structure, it is not described here. In addition, the inside of the lower shell 12 of the rotatable positioning faucet is also provided with structures and components required for water supply, which is known, so it is not described here.

[0025] Compared with the traditional faucet, the rotatable positioning faucet of the present embodiment has a simple appearance and a simple structure.

[0026] Figure 2A partial sectional view of a rotatable positioning faucet is shown according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 The upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet comprises a ring-shaped buckle 23, which is located at the lower part of the upper shell 21 and surrounds the central water pipe of the upper shell 21. The lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet comprises a flange 221, which is located at the upper part of the lower shell 22 and surrounds the central water pipe of the lower shell 22. The ring-shaped buckle 23 has a barb 231, the flange 221 has a rib 222, the barb 231 of the ring-shaped buckle 23 is engaged with the rib 222 of the flange 221, so that the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet is assembled together with the lower shell 22 in the vertical direction and can rotate 360 degrees in the horizontal direction. In the embodiment, the contact surface of the barb 231 of the ring-shaped buckle 23 and the rib 222 of the flange 221 in the rotation direction is smooth, so as to reduce the resistance in the rotation direction.

[0027] In the embodiment, the ring-shaped buckle 23 can be installed on the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet, or can be integrally formed with the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet.

[0028] In the embodiment, in order to enable the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet to be suspended after being rotated to the first angle desired by the user relative to the lower shell 22, the rotatable positioning faucet further comprises a wear-resistant ring 24, wherein the wear-resistant ring 24 is installed on the inner side of the lower part of the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet and surrounds the central water pipe of the upper shell 21. The wear-resistant ring 24 has a plurality of circular grooves. The rotatable positioning faucet further comprises a damping column 25, wherein the damping column 25 is installed on the inner side of the upper part of the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet and surrounds the central water pipe of the lower shell 22. The damping column 25 has a circular protrusion. When the user rotates the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet to the first angle as needed, the circular protrusion of the damping column 25 of the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet enters the circular groove of the wear-resistant ring 24, so as to be held by the circular groove, thereby generating resistance to enable the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet to be suspended. In the embodiment, the upper shell 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet can be rotated to any angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees and suspended.

[0029] In the embodiment, the damping column 25 can be installed in the mounting groove on the outer side of the flange of the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet, or can be integrally formed with the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet. In the embodiment, the number of the damping columns 25 is greater than or equal to one.

[0030] In the embodiment, the damping column 25 comprises a first damping column and a second damping column. The first damping column and the second damping column are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the flange of the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet. In the embodiment, the damping column 25 can be installed in the mounting groove on the outer side of the flange of the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet, or can be integrally formed with the lower shell 22 of the rotatable positioning faucet. In the embodiment, the number of the damping columns 25 is greater than or equal to one.

[0031] In an embodiment, the circular protrusion shape at the top of the damping column 25 matches the shape of the circular groove of the wear-resistant ring 24. When the upper housing 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet is subjected to a rotating external force applied by a user, the damping column 25 advances along the circular groove of the wear-resistant ring 24 relative to it. Such a design can improve the hovering stability of the upper housing 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet, and improve the user's control feeling.

[0032] In an embodiment, the damping column 25 can be made of a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant metal material. For example, the damping column 25 can be made of stainless steel.

[0033] Compared with traditional faucets, the rotatable positioning faucet of the present embodiment has a simple structure, high reliability, can realize 360° rotation, and solves the problem of hovering at any position.

[0034] Figure 3 A structure diagram of a wear-resistant ring according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 3 The wear-resistant ring 31 has a plurality of circular grooves 32, which are arranged circumferentially on the wear-resistant ring 31 and each of the plurality of circular grooves 32 corresponds to a rotating position of the upper housing of the rotatable positioning faucet. The wear-resistant ring 31 is detachably mounted on the upper housing 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet. In order to facilitate replacement after the wear-resistant ring 31 is damaged, the wear-resistant ring 31 is provided with a mounting groove on the periphery, and the mounting groove of the wear-resistant ring 31 can be nested on the clamping piece on the upper housing 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet. In an embodiment, the number of mounting grooves of the wear-resistant ring 31 is at least two.

[0035] In an embodiment, the wear-resistant ring 31 can be made of a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant elastic material, so that when the damping column 25 enters the circular groove 32 of the wear-resistant ring 31, the circular groove 32 produces elastic deformation, thereby fixing the damping column 25, so that the upper housing 21 of the rotatable positioning faucet is hovered.

[0036] The rotatable positioning faucet of the present application can also be used on a motor home, a camping car.
