Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and specifically refers to a universal curved leg structure. Background Technology

[0002] A curved foot is a water circuit adapter used when the water supply end and the water consumption end are not coaxial and there is a positional deviation.

[0003] Currently, most curved shower faucet designs on the market employ an eccentric design between the inlet and outlet sections to address issues such as misalignment of hot and cold water holes on the wall or inconsistent vertical positions, thus simplifying the installation process. However, when there is axial deviation in the water outlet pipe within the wall, it may lead to difficulties in assembling or installation of the shower faucet, as well as problems such as the shower faucet not fitting tightly against the wall or gaps forming. These are issues that traditional curved shower faucets struggle to resolve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal curved leg structure, which can correct the deviation by adjusting the angle when the water outlet pipe in the wall has an axial deviation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A universal curved leg structure includes a water inlet, a connector, and a water outlet; the water inlet has a water inlet hole and a water outlet hole at both ends; the water inlet hole and the water outlet hole are not coaxially arranged but are connected to each other; the connector includes a sealing section sealed and installed in the water outlet hole, a ball head section integrally connected to the sealing section, and a water passage hole passing through the sealing section and the ball head section along the axial direction of the connector; the ball head section is completely exposed at the water outlet end face of the water inlet; the water outlet is dynamically and rotatably sleeved on the ball head section.

[0007] The water outlet is equipped with a one-way valve.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the water outlet is provided with a limiting ring groove, and a retaining ring for preventing the one-way valve from dislodging is installed in the limiting ring groove.

[0009] Preferably, a gap is provided between the one-way valve and the ball head section of the connector to provide clearance when the water outlet rotates relative to the connector.

[0010] The outer peripheral surface of the water inlet is provided with an external thread, and the inner end of the inner wall of the water outlet is provided with an internal thread; the sealing section is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet to achieve installation, and a first sealing ring is provided between the outer end of the inner wall of the water outlet and the outer peripheral surface of the sealing section.

[0011] The ball head section has a mounting ring groove on its circumference, and a second sealing ring is provided in the mounting ring groove. The second sealing ring is dynamically sealed between the circumference of the ball head section and the inner wall of the water outlet.

[0012] Preferably, the axis of the mounting annular groove is collinear with the axis of the connector.

[0013] A step is provided on the inner wall of the outer end of the water outlet, and a limit ring is provided on the circumference of the sealing section near the ball head section. During installation, the limit ring abuts against the step.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0015] When the water outlet pipe inside the wall has an axial deviation in the application scenario, this utility model can adjust the angle by rotating the ball joint of the water outlet component and the connector, so that the axis of the water outlet component is oriented in the required direction for connection, thereby correcting the deviation. At the same time, combined with the non-coaxial eccentric design of the water inlet and water outlet of the water inlet component, this utility model can realize the function of universal rotation adjustment. In addition, since the ball joint is completely exposed on the water outlet end face of the water inlet component, there is no need to worry about the water outlet component contacting the end face of the water inlet component when adjusting the angle, avoiding interference, increasing flexibility, and preventing wear on the surface of the parts.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0023] refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a universal curved leg structure, including a water inlet 1, a connector 2, and a water outlet 3;

[0024] The water inlet 1 has a water inlet hole 11 and a water outlet hole 12 at its two ends respectively; the water inlet hole 11 and the water outlet hole 12 are not coaxial but are connected to each other;

[0025] The connector 2 includes a sealing section 21 sealed and installed in the water outlet 12, a ball head section 22 integrally connected to the sealing section 21, and a water passage 23 passing through the sealing section 21 and the ball head section 22 along the axial direction of the connector 2; the ball head section 22 is completely exposed at the water outlet end face of the water inlet 1 (i.e., located outside the water outlet 12).

[0026] The water outlet component 3 is dynamically and rotatably mounted on the ball head section 22.

[0027] Using the above solution, when axial deviation occurs in the water outlet pipe within the wall in the application scenario, please refer to... Figure 4 This invention allows for angle adjustment through the rotational engagement of the water outlet 3 and the ball joint 22 of the connector 2, aligning the axis of the water outlet 3 in the desired direction for connection and correcting deviations. Simultaneously, by combining the non-coaxial eccentric design of the inlet hole 11 and the outlet hole 12 of the inlet component 1, this invention enables omnidirectional rotation adjustment. Furthermore, since the ball joint 22 is fully exposed on the outlet end face of the inlet component 1, there is no need to worry about contact between the water outlet 3 and the end face of the inlet component 1 during angle adjustment, avoiding interference, increasing flexibility, and preventing wear on the surface of components.

[0028] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] The aforementioned water outlet 3 is equipped with a one-way valve 4, which allows water to flow only from the water outlet 3 and prevents water from flowing backward.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner wall of the aforementioned water outlet 3 is provided with a limiting ring groove 31, and a retaining ring 5 for preventing the one-way valve 4 from dislodging is installed in the limiting ring groove 31.

[0031] Meanwhile, a gap d is provided between the aforementioned one-way valve 4 and the ball head section 22 of the connector 2 to provide clearance space when the water outlet 3 rotates relative to the connector 2. Furthermore, the design of simultaneously providing the one-way valve 4 and the retaining ring 5 ensures that the water outlet 3 can only move within a certain spatial range in the axial direction of the connector 2, which not only serves as a limiting installation function, but also makes the angle adjustment more flexible and convenient in actual use.

[0032] In addition, the circumferential surface of the aforementioned one-way valve 4 and the inner wall of the water outlet 3 can also be sealed by a sealing ring. The elasticity and friction provided by the sealing ring can also axially limit the one-way valve 4.

[0033] The outer peripheral surface of the water inlet hole 11 is provided with external threads, and the inner end of the inner wall of the water outlet hole 12 is provided with internal threads; the sealing section 21 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet hole 12 to achieve installation, and a first sealing ring 6 is provided between the outer end of the inner wall of the water outlet hole 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the sealing section 21.

[0034] The ball head section 22 is provided with an installation ring groove 24 on its circumferential surface. A second sealing ring 7 is provided in the installation ring groove 24. The second sealing ring 7 is dynamically and sealingly fitted between the circumferential surface of the ball head section 22 and the inner wall of the water outlet 3.

[0035] Furthermore, the axis of the aforementioned mounting ring groove 24 is collinear with the axis of the connector 2.

[0036] A step 13 is provided on the inner wall of the outer end of the above-mentioned water outlet 12. A limiting ring 25 is provided on the circumferential surface of the sealing section 21 near the ball head section 22. During installation, the limiting ring 25 abuts against the step 13 to limit the depth of the sealing section 21 inserted into the water outlet 12, ensuring that the ball head section 22 is completely exposed on the end face of the water inlet component 1.

[0037] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
