[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the application or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0059] In this document, references to "embodiment" or "implementation" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment or implementation may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0060] like Figure 16 As shown, combined with Figures 1 to 15The faucet 10 includes a flow control connector 100, an inlet pipe connection component 200, and an outlet pipe connection component 300. The flow control connector 100 includes a first connecting portion 110, a second connecting portion 120, and a flow control component 140. The first connecting portion 110 and the second connecting portion 120 are connected. The first connecting portion is detachably connected to the inlet pipe connection component 200, and the second connecting portion 120 is detachably connected to the outlet pipe connection component 300. The flow control connector 100 also includes a first channel 102 penetrating the first connecting portion 110 and the second connecting portion 120, connecting the inlet pipe connection component 200 and the outlet pipe connection component 300. The flow control component 140 is disposed within the first channel 102 and includes a second channel 1432 connected to the first channel 102. The flow rate of a liquid, such as drinking water, flowing in the second channel 1432 is less than the flow rate of a liquid, such as drinking water, flowing in the first channel 102. The inlet pipe connection component 200 and the outlet pipe connection component 300 can be directly and detachably connected, or they can be detachably connected via a flow control connector 100. In practical applications, users can choose whether to connect the flow control connector 100 to the inlet pipe connection component 200 and the outlet pipe connection component 300 based on the water flow regulations of their city. For example, if city C specifies a water flow rate of Y1 for the faucet, and city D specifies a water flow rate of Y2, where Y1 is greater than Y2, users in city C can directly connect the inlet pipe connection component 200 and the outlet pipe connection component 300 to achieve a connection without connecting the flow control connector 100. Users in city D can connect the flow control connector 100 between the inlet pipe connection component 200 and the outlet pipe connection component 300 to reduce the water flow rate of the faucet 10. Therefore, during the processing and production of faucet 10, the manufacturer can process and produce faucet 10 with the same structure, which is beneficial for processing and production.

[0061] The detachable connection between the two components in this embodiment can be understood as: the two components can be fixedly connected together or separated.

[0062] For example, the faucet 10 may further include a first inlet pipe 410 and a second inlet pipe 420, both of which are detachably connected to the inlet pipe connecting component 200. The first inlet pipe 410 may be for transmitting a liquid of a first temperature, such as drinking water, and the second inlet pipe 420 may be for transmitting a liquid of a second temperature, such as drinking water, wherein the first temperature and the second temperature are not equal, for example, the first temperature is greater than the second temperature. In other optional embodiments, the inlet pipe connecting component 200 is detachably connected to one inlet pipe.

[0063] For example, the water outlet pipe connection component 300 can be detachably connected to the water outlet pipe of the faucet 10.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 16 The inner diameter of the second connecting part 120 is larger than the inner diameter of the first connecting part 110. The first connecting part 110 can be inserted into the water inlet pipe connecting component 200 to achieve connection. A part of the water outlet pipe connecting component 300 can be inserted into the second connecting part 120 to achieve connection.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 16 The flow control connector 100 also includes a third connection portion 130 connected between the first connection portion 110 and the second connection portion 120, and the flow control component 140 is disposed in the third connection portion 130 and surrounded by the third connection portion 130. It is understood that the first channel 102 also extends through the third connection portion 130.

[0066] For example, the flow control connector 100 further includes a connector body 101, which includes a first connecting portion 110, a second connecting portion 120, and a third connecting portion 130. The connector body 101 includes a first end face 1011 and a second end face 1013. The first end face 1011 is located on the side of the second connecting portion 120 away from the first connecting portion 110, and the second end face 1013 is located on the side of the first connecting portion 110 away from the second connecting portion 120. A first channel 102 penetrates both the first end face 1011 and the second end face 1013, that is, the first channel 102 penetrates the connector body 101.

[0067] For example, the inner diameter of the first connecting portion 110 is smaller than the inner diameter of the third connecting portion 130, so that a first stepped surface 111 is formed on the inner surface of the first connecting portion 110 and the inner surface of the third connecting portion 130, and one end face of the flow control component 140 is disposed on the first stepped surface 111.

[0068] For example, the inner diameter of the second connecting portion 120 is larger than the inner diameter of the third connecting portion 130, so that a second stepped surface 131 is formed on the inner surfaces of the second connecting portion 120 and the third connecting portion 130. The other end face of the flow control component 140 is located below the second stepped surface 131, and a portion of the outlet pipe connecting component 300 can be inserted into the second connecting portion 120 and terminate at the second stepped surface 131. Thus, a portion of the outlet pipe connecting component 300 is inserted into the second connecting portion 120 and spaced apart from the flow control component 140.

[0069] For example, the flow control connector 100 also includes a socket control component 150, which includes a through hole 152 for the water supply pipe connection component 300 to pass through; the second connection portion 120 is provided with a movable space 122, and the socket control component 150 is disposed within the movable space 122 and is capable of moving within the movable space 122 in a predetermined direction F1 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the socket control component 150 is in the unlocked state, a portion of the water outlet pipe connection component 300 can pass through the through hole 152 and be inserted into the second connection portion 120, or a portion of the water outlet pipe connection component 300 can be removed from the second connection portion 120 and the through hole 152. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 16 As shown, when the socket control component 150 is in the locked state, a portion of the outlet pipe connection component 300 can be confined within the second connection portion 120. The predetermined direction F1 can be understood as a radial direction of the connector body 101.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the sleeve control component 150 is in the unlocked state, the diameter of the through hole 152 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the first channel 102 located in the second connection portion 120.

[0071] For example, the second connecting portion 120 includes two opposing limiting sidewalls forming an active space 122. The inner surfaces of both opposing limiting sidewalls are provided with slots 126. Both sides of the sleeve control component 150 are provided with buckles 151, which can be engaged into or removed from the slots 126 to achieve a detachable connection of the sleeve control component 150 to the second connecting portion 120. For example, the second connecting portion 120 also includes a limiting top plate 123 and a limiting bottom plate 125 forming the active space 122. The limiting top plate 123 is connected to the top of the limiting sidewall 121, and the limiting bottom plate 125 is connected to the bottom of the limiting sidewall 121. The limiting top plate 123, the limiting sidewall 121, and the limiting bottom plate 125 are sequentially connected to define the active space 122 having an inlet 1222 and an outlet 1224. The socket control component 150 can be inserted into the active space 122 from the inlet 1222 and can move to the outlet 1224, thereby restricting the socket control component 150 between the limiting top plate 123, the limiting side wall 121 and the limiting bottom plate 125.

[0072] For example, the flow control connector 100 further includes an operating component 160, which is fixedly connected to a socket control component 150. The second connecting portion 120 is provided with an operating space 124, which communicates with a movable space 122. The operating component 160 is disposed within the operating space. When the operating component 160 receives a driving force, it moves within the operating space 124 in a predetermined direction F1, thereby driving the socket control component 150 to move within the movable space 122 in the predetermined direction F1. The operating space 124 is formed on the outer surface of the second connecting portion 120 by a supporting movable wall 127. To increase the strength of the supporting movable wall 127, two reinforcing ribs 1271 are connected to the supporting movable wall 127 and the outer surface of the second connecting portion 120. For example, the two reinforcing ribs 1271 are also connected to a limiting base plate 125.

[0073] For example, the outer surface 163 of the operating component 160 is an arc-shaped surface. The outer surface 163 of the operating component 160 can be pressed by the user's finger, that is, the user's finger pressing the outer surface of the operating component 160 can generate a driving force.

[0074] For example, the flow control connector 100 further includes an elastic element 170 disposed within the operating space 124. When the outer surface 163 of the operating component 160 receives a driving force, the operating component 160 moves within the operating space 124 along a first direction F11, driving the sleeve control component 150 to move within the active space 122 along the first direction F11 until it reaches the unlocked state. Simultaneously, the elastic element 170 is driven and has an elastic force. When the outer surface 163 of the operating component 160 is not driven, the elastic element 170, through its elastic force, drives the operating component 160 to move within the operating space 124 along a second direction F12, driving the sleeve control component 150 to move within the active space 122 along the second direction F12 until it reaches the locked state. The first direction F11 and the second direction F12 are opposite, and the first direction F11 and the second direction F12 are two opposite directions of a predetermined direction F1.

[0075] For example, the elastic member 170 includes an elastic arm 170A, which is disposed on one side of the inner surface 161 of the operating member 160. The connecting end 171 of the elastic arm 170A is disposed on the sleeve control member 150 and / or the inner surface 161 of the operating member 160. The free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A is spaced apart from the inner surface 161 of the operating member 160, and the free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A is capable of deformation. The second connecting portion 120 is provided with at least one protrusion 129, which is disposed within the operating space 124. The at least one protrusion 129 and the free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A are disposed opposite each other. When the outer surface 163 of the operating member 160 receives a driving force, the free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A and the protrusion 129 are attached together, and the elastic arm 170A is deformed by the blocking effect of the at least one protrusion 129.

[0076] For example, the connecting end 171 of the elastic arm 170A is directly fixedly connected to the sleeve control component 150, and the connecting end 171 of the elastic arm 170A is connected to the inner surface 161 of the operating component 160 through a connecting rod 180. This can enhance the strength of the elastic arm 170A.

[0077] To further increase the strength of the elastic arm 170A, the dimensions of the elastic arm 170A gradually decrease from its connecting end 171 to its free end 172. Exemplarily, the thickness of the elastic arm 170A gradually decreases from its connecting end 171 to its free end 172. Exemplarily, the width of the elastic arm 170A gradually decreases from its connecting end 171 to its free end 172. Exemplarily, the thickness of the elastic arm 170A gradually decreases from its connecting end 171 to its free end 172, and the width of the elastic arm 170A gradually decreases from its connecting end 171 to its free end 172.

[0078] For example, the two protrusions 129 are triangular in structure, arranged side by side, and their tips 1291 can abut against the free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A.

[0079] For example, the second connecting portion 120 is provided with a first groove 128, and when the elastic arm 170A deforms, at least a portion of the connecting end 171 of the elastic arm 170A can be placed in the first groove 128.

[0080] For example, the inner surface 161 of the operating member 160 is provided with a second groove 162, which is located directly outside the elastic arm 170A. When the elastic arm 170A deforms, at least a portion of the free end 172 of the elastic arm 170A can be placed in the second groove 162.

[0081] For example, one end of the operating component 160 is fixedly connected to one end of the socket control component 150, and a portion of the operating component 160 extends below the socket control component 150 to define that the operating component 160 and the socket control component 150 are perpendicular to each other.

[0082] For example, a protrusion 190 is provided on the upper part of the socket control component 150, and the protrusion 190 is connected to the operating component 160. The side of the protrusion 190 away from the outer surface 163 of the operating component 160 is an arc-shaped surface 191, which is concave. When it is necessary to remove the socket control component 150, the user can remove the socket control component 150 by operating on the arc-shaped surface 191 with a fingernail or a tool.

[0083] For example, two latches 151 protrude outward along the outer surface of the side wall of the socket control member 150, and each latch 151 and the outer surface of the side wall of the socket control member 150 form an inclined surface 1511, which facilitates the insertion of the socket control member 150 into the movable space 122 from the inlet 1222. The inclined surface 1511 is located at the end of the socket control member 150 away from the protrusion 190.

[0084] For example, the socket control component 150 is provided with a plurality of weight reduction grooves 154, which are located at the end of the socket control component 150 away from the operating component 160.

[0085] In other alternative embodiments, the elastic element 170 may also include one or more springs, one end of which may be fixed to the second connecting portion 120, and the other end of which may be fixed to the inner surface 161 of the operating member 160.

[0086] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 The size of the second channel 1432 of the flow control component 140 is smaller than the minimum size of the first channel 102. In an optional embodiment, the second channel 1432 includes multiple sub-channels, the sum of the sizes of which is less than the minimum size of the first channel 102. The multiple sub-channels of the second channel 1432 are arranged in a circle around the centerline of the flow control component 140. None of the multiple sub-channels of the second channel 1432 are placed on the first stepped surface 111.

[0087] In another alternative embodiment, there is one second channel 1432, and the diameter of the second channel 1432 is smaller than the minimum size of the first channel 102.

[0088] For example, the flow control component 140 includes a flow control body 143, which includes a sidewall 1431 and a bottom wall 1433. The sidewall 1431 is connected to the periphery of the bottom wall 1433, defining a placement groove 1434. The opening of the placement groove 1434 faces the first end face 1011. The placement groove 1434 is used to place a flow control ring 141, which is disposed within the placement groove 1434. A portion of the flow control ring 141 may cover a portion of the second channel 1432. In other cases, the flow control ring 141 does not cover the second channel 1432. In this case, it is understood that the flow control component 140 may also not include the flow control ring 141.
