[0002] Currently, most faucets are installed under the countertop of washbasins, sinks, and other bathroom fixtures. The process involves the operator threading an external threaded shank onto the bottom of the faucet, passing the shank through a mounting hole in the countertop, and then using one hand to hold the faucet upright while the other hand, with the aid of a tool, tightens the locking nut and washer onto the threaded shank from under the countertop. However, this installation method has several drawbacks: the space under the countertop is limited and visibility is poor. Operators typically rely on small tools and their own sense of touch. Especially when the faucet's spout is frequently rotated, the faucet seat can become loose between the faucet and the countertop, requiring the operator to repeatedly bend down and reach under the countertop to tighten the locking nut. This is inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in low installation efficiency and poor long-term stability between the faucet and the countertop. Utility Model Content

[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the fastening body 10 is provided with locking threads 11 around its circumference. These locking threads 11 are located at the top of the inner wall of the fastening body 10 and can lock the fastening body 10 onto the external threaded handle at the bottom of the faucet. At least one receiving groove 12 is also provided between the locking threads 11. The receiving groove 12 is arranged along the axial direction of the fastening body, forming a strip-shaped groove with its opening facing the center of the fastening body 10. The receiving groove 12 can increase the internal space of the fastening body 10, making it easier for more pipes to pass through the fastening body 10. In addition, to increase the internal receiving space of the fastening body 10, it is preferable to provide two opposing receiving grooves 12. In this way, the fastening body 10 can not only accommodate the normal cold and hot water inlet pipes, but also accommodate other pipes, expanding the water inlet mode and thus meeting people's diversified water needs.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking seat 30 is provided on the top of the fastening body 10. Specifically, the locking seat 30 is sleeved around the top periphery of the fastening body 10, and the two can be processed into an integral shape, or the locking seat 30 can be fixed to the top periphery of the fastening body 10 by welding, gluing, or other methods. In order to increase the contact area between the locking seat 30 and the countertop and improve the locking force of the locking seat 30 on the faucet, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the locking seat 30 is equal to the diameter of the fastening body 10, while the outer diameter of the locking seat 30 is greater than the diameter of the fastening body 10. Specifically, the locking seat 30 is provided with a plurality of screw seats 31 protruding radially outward, preferably three screw seats 31. Each screw seat 31 has a screw hole 311. When fixing the faucet, the screw 20 can abut against the bottom of the countertop. In this embodiment, the length of the screw 20 is greater than the length of the screw hole 311. Thus, the screw 20 can pass through the screw hole 311 and protrude from the screw hole 311, directly abutting against the bottom of the countertop. In this way, even if the faucet is switched on and off or rotated multiple times during use, the bottom of the faucet is locked by the thread in the fastening body 10, and is also fixed by the screw 20 on the locking seat 30. The dual-mode locking force ensures that the faucet will not easily loosen from the countertop, ensuring the stability and durability of the faucet installation effect, reducing the number of maintenance times caused by the loosening of the faucet in the future, and reducing the maintenance cost of the faucet.

[0035] In other preferred embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5In the second embodiment shown, both the fastening body 10 and the locking seat 30 have side openings on their side walls. These side openings are aligned and communicate with each other. The side opening on the fastening body 10 is the first opening 14, and the side opening on the locking seat 30 is the second opening 32. This allows for easy insertion of the water inlet pipe into the fastening body 10 from different directions, which is especially convenient for pipes with thinner bodies and smaller cross-sections. To ensure that the pipe can be smoothly inserted into the fastening body 10, the distance between the side openings is preferably greater than 5 mm.

[0036] The fastening body 10 and locking seat 30 involved in the present invention are both made of plastic, which is easy to process and manufacture and has low material cost, making it convenient to promote and use.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the anti-loosening faucet locking component of the preferred embodiment of this utility model securely installs the faucet on the countertop by fastening the body 10, locking seat 30 and several screws 20. It not only has a simple structure, but also simple and convenient installation and rotation operation, saving time and effort, and has strong installation stability and durability.
