Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model. Example

[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an easy-to-use countertop faucet, including a faucet body 1, a pipe connector 2, a connecting arm 3, and a water outlet 4. The faucet body 1 has a mounting base 5 at its bottom for fitting and mounting on an external countertop. The pipe connector 2 smoothly connects to the top of the faucet body 1 and includes an internal chamber and a water outlet 6 formed on its outer side. The inlet end of the connecting arm 3 is rotatably connected to the water outlet 6, and the water outlet 4 is rotatably connected to the outlet end of the connecting arm 3.

[0024] The countertop faucet also includes an operating handle 7 located on top of the pipe connector 2, and an internal valve core 8 that is linked to the operating handle 7. The internal valve core 8 is installed in the internal chamber of the pipe connector 2 so that when the operating handle 7 is controlled by the user, water can be selected to flow through the connecting arm 3 and the water outlet 4.

[0025] The countertop faucet described above has its operating handle 7 located on top of the pipe connector 2. Users can directly operate the operating handle 7 to more easily control the water flow switch, thus eliminating the need to reach to the side of the faucet and improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the inlet end of the connecting arm 3 is rotatably connected to the outlet connector 6, and the outlet component 4 is rotatably connected to the outlet end of the connecting arm 3, enabling flexible adjustment of the water outlet angle and significantly improving the daily operation and water flow of the faucet.

[0026] As a result, significant improvements have been made in terms of ease of installation, flexibility of water output, convenience of operation and maintenance, as well as space utilization and aesthetics.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the faucet body 1 has a cylindrical structure, and the pipe connector 2 is sealed and connected to the faucet body 1, so that the faucet body 1 and the pipe connector 2 appear as a single integrated structure. Therefore, the cylindrical structure and the pipe connector 2 appear as a single integrated structure, making the countertop-mounted faucet more concise and streamlined in its overall appearance, without any abrupt connection marks or complex structures, conforming to modern aesthetic trends.

[0028] It should be noted that the operating handle 7 is configured as a handle structure for controlling the valve core, which has at least an upward state for controlling the opening and closing of the valve core and a rotation state for controlling the size of the water outlet opening. Obviously, the valve core and operating handle 7 in this embodiment are the faucet valve core structure and handle switch in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Preferably, the pipe connector 2 and the water outlet component 4 are connected by a connecting arm 3, which is configured as a straight plate-shaped connecting bridge and is positioned to the side of the pipe connector 2. Compared to other complex or flexible connecting components, the connecting bridge has higher rigidity and stability. Furthermore, the connection to the side of the pipe connector 2 provides additional support, and the water outlet connection is simpler and more effective.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pipe connector 2, connecting arm 3, and water outlet 4 cooperate with each other to form an overall U-shaped structure. This design makes the connection between them more compact, saves countertop space, optimizes the spatial layout, and enables flexible, swing-style water outlet.

[0031] In this embodiment, the water outlet component 4 includes a water inlet 9 horizontally connected to the water outlet end of the connecting arm 3, and a water outlet 10 vertically positioned relative to the water inlet 9. The water outlet 10 supplies water to the user. Water enters from the water inlet 9 and flows vertically out to the water outlet 10, allowing for more precise guidance of the water flow to the user's desired direction. Furthermore, the water outlet component 4 can better adapt to various usage scenarios.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting base 5 includes a fixing part 11 integrally formed on the faucet body 1, a cylindrical part 12 that is separate from the fixing part 11 and sleeved with each other, a fastener 13 for forming an installation space between the fixing part 11 and the countertop, and a screw member 14 screwed between the fastener 13 and the cylindrical part 12.

[0033] The mounting base 5 described above has its fixing part 11 integrally formed into the faucet body 1, ensuring the stability of the main structure, preventing loosening, and improving durability. The cylindrical part 12 is separately arranged from the fixing part 11 and interlocks with it to provide additional support, making the faucet more secure on the countertop and reducing shaking or displacement caused by long-term use. Furthermore, the fixing part 11 has a through hole, into which the cylindrical part 12 is fitted, allowing external water inlet pipes to pass through.

[0034] Furthermore, the fastener 13 is used to create an installation space between the fixing part 11 and the countertop, making installation more flexible and adaptable to countertops of different thicknesses. The screw 14 is used to adjust the relative distance between the fastener 13 and the fixing part 11, and the fastener 13 is fitted against the lower surface of the countertop. The bottom of the faucet body 1 is fitted against the upper surface of the countertop. Through the locking connection between the fastener 13 and the screw 14, the faucet can be easily and quickly installed or removed simply by loosening or tightening the screw 14.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting arm 3 is equipped with a rotation damper 15 at both the inlet and outlet ends. The outlet connector and outlet component 4 are respectively inserted into the respective ends of the connecting arm 3, and their rotation angles are adjusted accordingly by the rotation damper 15. The rotation damper 15 enables the connecting arm 3 / outlet component 4 to be precisely positioned at any desired angle during rotation. The rotation damper 15 allows the user to freely adjust the position of the connecting arm 3 within a large angle range and to make fine adjustments according to subtle changes in needs. The rotation damper 15 not only controls the rotation of the connecting arm 3 / outlet component 4 but also effectively maintains the stability of the connecting arm 3 / outlet component 4 after the angle is adjusted.

[0036] Specifically, the rotary damper 15 includes at least a gear 16 formed on the inlet or outlet end, and a gear ring 17 formed on the outlet connector or outlet part 4 and meshing with the outer circumference of the gear 16. At least one of the gear ring 17 and the gear 16 can rotate relative to each other in a damped manner. The meshing of the gear 16 and the gear ring 17 provides a stable damping effect. Regardless of the angular position of the connecting arm 3, the meshing relationship between the gear 16 and the gear ring 17 remains relatively stable, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the damping force. It is understood that the rotary damper 15 is an existing damping rotation structure, or it can be implemented through other forms of damping rotation, which will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
