Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to faucets, and more particularly to a faucet mounting assembly and a faucet using the same. Background Technology

[0002] The current methods for installing faucets into kitchen sinks primarily involve using threaded tubes and nuts for fixation. For the standard threaded tube and nut method, first connect the hot and cold water inlet pipes to the faucet inlet. Then, insert the threaded tube through a hole drilled in the sink countertop. Next, use your hand to push the nut into the threaded tube from the back of the sink and tighten it firmly. Alternatively, horseshoe-type installation can be used. To install horseshoe-type faucets, first connect the hot and cold water inlet pipes to the faucet inlet. Then, insert the faucet mounting post into the inlet pipe, place the end of the inlet pipe into the mounting hole in the sink countertop, and finally, use horseshoe-type faucet pieces to secure the inlet pipe from the back of the sink, tightening the screws and nuts.

[0003] Because the installation space for cabinets is small and difficult for installers to see, they have to crawl inside the cabinet and lie under the sink to install it. The limited space under the sink restricts the continuous use of tools such as wrenches, and it is difficult to know whether the faucet is in the correct position when tightening. Often, two people are needed to work together to install it, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] This utility model relates to a faucet installation component, including a base 100, a first locking screw 200, and a connector 300.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 100 includes a cylindrical portion 110 and an extension portion 120. The cylindrical portion 110 can be cylindrical, with a hollow interior forming a cavity 111. The cavity 111 extends vertically through the cylindrical portion 110 along its axial direction. The extension portion 120 extends downward from the bottom surface of the cylindrical portion 110. The extension portion 120 can be configured as a curved plate. A guide groove 130 is provided on the extension portion 120, which is vertically aligned with the axial direction of the cavity 111. A first locking screw 200 is vertically mounted on the cylindrical portion 110. The first locking screw 200 can either pass directly through the cylindrical portion 110 or be threaded into the cylindrical portion 110. A connecting member 300 is located below the cylindrical portion 110, and at least a portion of the connecting part 310 passes through the guide groove 130. The first locking screw 200 passes through the connector 300 from top to bottom, and the connector 300 is threadedly connected to the first locking screw 200. A certain gap can be formed between the connector 300 and the bottom surface of the base 100, and the gap constitutes the clamping space 400. When the first locking screw 200 is rotated, the connector 300 does not rotate synchronously with the first locking screw 200 under the limiting action of the extension 120. The connector 300 abuts against the extension 120, and then moves up and down along the guide groove 130 as the first locking screw rotates. When the connector 300 moves upward, the clamping space 400 decreases; when the connector 300 moves downward, the clamping space 400 increases.

[0035] This utility model also relates to a faucet, including a main body 500 and a faucet mounting assembly. The main body 500 is fixed to the cylindrical portion 110. In actual use, the faucet is fixed to the sink 600 by the faucet mounting assembly. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a mounting hole 610 is provided on one side of the sink 600. During installation, the faucet mounting assembly is pre-installed, leaving a large clamping space 400. Then, the faucet mounting assembly is inserted from top to bottom into the mounting hole 610 of the sink 600. The extension 120 and the connector 300 are located below the mounting hole 610, and the cylindrical part 110 is above the mounting hole 610. At least a portion of the hole wall of the mounting hole 610 is located in the clamping space 400. Then, using a tool, the first locking screw 200 is turned above the base 100, and the connector 300 moves upward to abut against the lower side of the mounting hole 610, cooperating with the bottom surface of the base 100 to clamp the mounting hole 610, thereby fixing the faucet mounting assembly to the sink 600. The water pipe of the main body 500 passes through the cylindrical part 110 from top to bottom and extends into the lower side of the sink 600. The main body 500 is then fixed to the cylindrical part 110, thus completing the installation of the faucet. The installation process does not require operation below the sink 600; it can be performed only above the sink 600. This frees up the operating space during installation, effectively improving installation efficiency and facilitating assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. The faucet installation assembly has a simple overall structure. Fixing the base 100 only requires operating the first locking screw 200. The connector 300 can move stably relative to the base 100, ensuring the stability of the connector 300 in clamping the sink 600 with the base 100.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the connector 300 includes a connecting portion 310 and a clamping portion 320. The connecting portion 310 and the clamping portion 320 are integrally formed. The connecting portion 310 protrudes from the clamping portion 320 along the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 110. It can be understood that, in the direction shown in the figure, the radial direction of the cylindrical portion 110 is horizontal. The connecting portion 310 extends horizontally from one side of the clamping portion 320. The connecting portion 310 has relatively recessed notches 311 on both sides. During installation, the connector 300 is first placed vertically, with the connecting portion 310 passing through the guide groove 130, and the notches 311 and the guide groove 130 being positioned opposite each other. Then, the connector 300 is placed in a horizontal position, at which point the two side walls of the guide groove 130 pass through the notches 311 on both sides. The first locking screw 200 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 310. The clamping space 400 is formed between the clamping portion 320 and the bottom surface of the base 100. When the connector 300 moves up and down relative to the extension 120, the notch 311 can abut against the wall of the guide groove 130, and then the notch 311 slides along the wall of the guide groove 130. Further, the connector 310 is in the shape of a circular plate. The notch 311 is formed at the junction of the periphery of the connector 310 and the clamping part 320. The maximum outer diameter of the connector 310 is greater than the minimum width of the guide groove 130. This restricts the connector 310 from disengaging from the guide groove 130 in the horizontal direction. The clamping part 320 can be configured in different shapes, such as block-shaped, plate-shaped, or strip-shaped. In this embodiment, the clamping part 320 extends in an arc shape. The clamping part 320 is similar to a crescent shape. The connector 310 extends radially along the inner arc side of the clamping part 320. The shape of the connecting part 310 minimizes the space below the cavity 111 of the cylindrical part 110, allowing the water pipe of the main body 500 to pass smoothly and with more space below the cylindrical part 110. Furthermore, the radial width of the clamping part 320 gradually decreases from the middle to both sides, and the connecting part 310 is formed on the inner arc side of the middle of the clamping part 320. On the one hand, this ensures the structural strength between the middle of the clamping part 320 and the connecting part 310, and on the other hand, minimizes the space occupied by the clamping part 320 near its two ends, freeing up space for the installation of the water pipe of the main body.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the guide groove 130 includes a first groove portion 131 and a second groove portion 132 distributed vertically. The first groove portion 131 is closer to the cylindrical portion 110 than the second groove portion 132. The first groove portion 131 and the second groove portion 132 are interconnected. The width of the first groove portion 131 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The width of the second groove portion 132 is equal everywhere, and the width of the second groove portion 132 is equal to the minimum width of the first groove portion 131. The guide groove 130 has an overall Y-shaped design. The minimum distance between the two recesses 311 is smaller than the minimum width of the first groove portion 131. The maximum width of the connecting portion 310 is smaller than the maximum width of the first groove portion 131. During installation, align the top of the connecting part 310 with the top of the first groove 131, then move the connector 300 horizontally until the connecting part 310 passes through the first groove 131, then move the connector 300 down until the connecting part 310 slides into the second groove 132, and finally connect the connecting part 310 with the first locking screw 200.

[0038] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the cylindrical portion 110 is hollow, forming a cavity 111. The cavity 111 extends vertically through the cylindrical portion 110. A protrusion 140 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 111. The axial direction of the protrusion 140 is consistent with the axial direction of the cavity 111. That is, the protrusion 140 is located at an eccentric position in the cavity 111. A first locking screw 200 passes through the protrusion 140. The first locking screw 200 can be threaded to the protrusion 140, or the first locking screw 200 can simply pass through the protrusion 140. The protrusion 140 is located at an eccentric position in the cavity 111 to avoid obstructing the water pipe of the main body 500 when it passes through the cavity 111.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a screw hole 112 is provided on the side wall of the cylindrical portion 110. The screw hole 112 penetrates the cylindrical portion 110 radially. When installing the main body 500, the main body 500 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 110, and then a second locking screw 700 is threaded through the side wall of the main body 500 and into the screw hole 112. This fixes the main body 500 to the base 100.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cylindrical portion 110 includes a first stepped portion 113 and a second stepped portion 114 coaxially arranged. The outer diameter of the first stepped portion 113 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second stepped portion 114. The extension portion 120 extends from the bottom surface of the second stepped portion 114. The main body 500 is inserted into the first stepped portion 113, and the second stepped portion 114 supports the main body 500. A sealing ring can be provided at the bottom of the second stepped portion 114 to increase the sealing between the base 100 and the mounting hole 610 when installed on the water tank 600.
