Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bathroom technology, and specifically relates to a novel faucet. Background Technology
[0002] A faucet (also called a tap or tap: see usage variations) is a valve that controls the release of liquids or gases. A valve faucet is a type of fluid valve, and valve faucets are usually used to control the flow of fluids and are water-saving switches.
[0003] In real life, tap water often contains impurities. Drinking tap water containing impurities can easily harm the health of the drinker. To ensure the cleanliness of the water flow, a pre-filter is usually installed at the front end of the pipeline system to achieve a filtering effect. However, the installation of a pre-filter is relatively troublesome, and replacing the filter screen requires disassembling the entire faucet, which is cumbersome and prone to leakage. Therefore, the pipeline system needs to be modified to facilitate the installation of the filter. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a novel filter faucet.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A novel faucet includes a faucet body with an inlet and an outlet, and a switch installed above the faucet body for controlling the opening and closing of the faucet. A valve stem is connected below the switch, and a valve seat is fitted on the valve stem. The valve seat is connected to the faucet body via an external thread. The faucet is characterized in that a plurality of symmetrical snap-fit parts are provided on the inner wall of the outlet, and the snap-fit parts are composed of snap buckles and snap-fit frames. A filter assembly is provided at the outlet, and a filter frame is provided on the filter assembly. A snap ring groove for snapping the snap buckle is opened on the outer surface of the filter frame. A groove is provided on one side of the snap ring groove, and a sealing gasket is installed in the groove. One end of the sealing gasket is installed in the groove, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the outlet. The filter frame has a cavity inside, and a water passage hole connected to the cavity is provided at the end of the filter frame.
[0006] In the aforementioned novel faucet, a conical step is provided between the cavity and the water passage hole. An installation groove is provided on the conical step, and a slot is provided at the bottom of the installation groove. A filter ring with a filter screen is installed in the installation groove, and a locking block that cooperates with the slot is provided at the end of the filter ring.
[0007] In the aforementioned novel faucet, the filter component has a conical structure design.
[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this new type of faucet improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly through the cooperation of the snap-fit parts and the snap ring groove. The opening of the installation groove facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the filter ring, thereby increasing the service life of the product. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0012] 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.
[0013] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this novel faucet includes a faucet body 3 with an inlet 1 and an outlet 2, and a switch 4 installed above the faucet body 3 for controlling the opening and closing of the faucet. A valve stem 5 is connected below the switch 4, and a valve seat 6 is fitted onto the valve stem 5. The valve seat 6 is connected to the faucet body 3 via external threads. Several symmetrical snap-fit parts 7 are provided on the inner wall of the outlet 2, and each snap-fit part 7 consists of a snap buckle 8 and a snap-fit frame 9. A filter assembly is provided at the outlet 2, and a filter frame 10 is provided on the filter assembly. A retaining ring groove 11 for snapping the snap buckle 8 is formed on the outer surface of the filter frame. When the snap-fit part 7 is fixed in the retaining ring groove 11, The ring-shaped retaining groove 11 allows the filter assembly to rotate within the outlet 2. A special tool is inserted into the retaining groove 11 of the filter frame 10 to disengage the buckle 8 from the retaining groove 11, allowing the filter assembly to be removed as a whole. A groove 12 is provided on one side of the retaining groove 11, and a sealing gasket 13 is installed in the groove 12. One end of the sealing gasket 13 is installed in the groove 12, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the outlet 2. The filter frame 10 has a cavity 14 inside, and a water passage hole 15 connected to the cavity 14 is provided at the end of the filter frame 10. Water in the faucet body 3 passes through the filter assembly through the connection between the cavity 14 and the water passage hole 15.
[0014] To elaborate further, there is a conical step 16 between the cavity 14 and the water passage 15. An installation groove 17 is provided on the conical step 16. A slot 18 is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 17. A filter ring 19 with a filter screen is installed in the installation groove 17. A locking block 20 that cooperates with the slot 18 is provided at the end of the filter ring 19. The filter ring 19 is fixed by a locking method to prevent it from falling off under the impact of water flow. The filter ring 19 is set in the installation groove 17, which makes it convenient for users to maintain and replace it.
[0015] To elaborate further, the filter assembly features a conical structure design.
[0016] 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 substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0017] Although this document frequently uses terms such as inlet 1, outlet 2, faucet body 3, switch 4, valve stem 5, valve seat 6, snap-fit 7, buckle 8, snap-fit bracket 9, filter frame 10, retaining ring groove 11, groove 12, sealing gasket 13, cavity 14, water passage hole 15, conical step 16, mounting groove 17, retaining groove 18, filter ring 19, and retaining block 20, 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.
