[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a self-resetting pull-out faucet, wherein the self-resetting pull-out faucet is installed on the faucet body, and its innovation lies in: the self-resetting pull-out faucet includes a faucet outlet pipe and a flexible hose disposed in the faucet outlet pipe, the lower end of the flexible hose being sealed and connected to the lower inner wall of the faucet outlet pipe through a connector, and the connector being provided with a water inlet channel communicating with the flexible hose.

[0006] The faucet outlet pipe has a limiting block located on the inner wall of the faucet outlet pipe at the end of the faucet outlet pipe. A spring is provided between the connector and the limiting block for the hose to pass through. The spring is initially compressed by 1%-10%.

[0007] Preferably, the faucet outlet pipe is connected to the faucet body, with one end of the faucet outlet pipe connected to the faucet body being the inlet end and the other end of the faucet outlet pipe away from the faucet body being the outlet end; the flexible hose is distributed along the length of the faucet outlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the water outlet is provided with a pull-out head that cooperates with the faucet water outlet pipe, the upper end of the hose is connected to the pull-out head, and the pull-out head is provided with a water outlet channel communicating with the hose; the pull-out head is provided with a pull-out head control switch to control the water outlet mode.

[0009] Preferably, the hose and the connector are connected by one of the following: threaded connection, quick-connect / quick-plug connection, or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0010] Preferably, when the hose and the connector are connected by a quick-connect / quick-plug connection, the connector includes a connector body and a hose connector head that connects the connector body and the hose. A barbed structure is provided around the end of the hose connector head that contacts the hose, and the barbed structure contacts the inner wall of the hose.

[0011] Preferably, the connector body is a sleeve-shaped structure, and the connector body is provided with a connector mounting hole for the lower end of the hose connector to be inserted. A first sealing element is provided between the connector body and the lower inner wall of the faucet outlet pipe, and a second sealing element is provided between the faucet body and the faucet outlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the first seal and the second seal are any one of an ORING seal ring, a Y-shaped rubber ring, and a Y-shaped silicone ring.

[0013] Preferably, the connector body is provided with wedge-shaped blocks distributed radially along the connector body and passing through the connector body and the hose connector respectively. The connector body is provided with through wedge-shaped holes through which the wedge-shaped blocks pass.

One end of the hose is connected to a connector with an internal water inlet channel, and the other end is connected to a pull-out head with an internal water outlet channel. In use, opening the valve body allows water to flow into the faucet's outlet pipe. Since the inlet channel of the connector, the hose, and the outlet channel of the pull-out head form a water path, the water flows out through this path from the pull-out head. When we pull the pull-out head, the hose is pulled out along with it, and the other end of the hose moves upward inside the faucet's outlet pipe, compressing the spring. When we release the pull-out head, the spring returns to its original length from its compressed state, applying a downward force to the hose, causing the pull-out head to move downward back to its original installation position. The pull-out distance of this invention is equal to the length of the pull-out head extending beyond the outlet end when the connector compresses the spring to its limit position. The maximum extension distance of the pull-out head is the distance the pull-out head extends beyond the water outlet when the connector is raised to the spring's compression limit. This distance is approximately equal to the length of the entire faucet's water outlet pipe, making this invention suitable for applications requiring long water outlet adjustment.

The connector 3 is provided with a water inlet channel 4 communicating with the flexible hose 2. The faucet outlet pipe 1 has a limiting block 5 located on the inner wall of the faucet outlet pipe at the faucet end. A spring 6 is provided between the connector 3 and the limiting block 5 for the flexible hose 2 to pass through. The spring is initially compressed by 1%-10%.

[0028] With the above structure, the flexible hose 2 is installed inside the faucet outlet pipe 1. One end of the flexible hose 2 is connected to the connector 3, which has an internal water inlet channel 4, and the other end of the flexible hose 2 is connected to the pull-out head 7, which has an internal water outlet channel. In use, when the valve is opened, water enters the faucet outlet pipe 1. Since the water inlet channel 4 of the connector 3, the flexible hose 2, and the water outlet channel of the pull-out head 7 form a water path, the water flows out from the pull-out head 7 through this path. When we pull the pull-out head 7, the flexible hose 2 is pulled out along with it, and the other end of the flexible hose 2, the connector 3, moves upward inside the faucet outlet pipe 1, thereby compressing the spring 6. When we release the pull-out head 7, the spring 6 returns to its original length from the compressed state, applying a downward force to the flexible hose 2, and the pull-out head 7 moves downward with the flexible hose 2 back to its original installation position. The maximum extension distance of the pull-out head is the distance the pull-out head extends beyond the outlet end when the connector rises to the spring's compression limit. This distance is approximately equal to the length of the entire faucet outlet pipe, making this invention suitable for applications requiring long water outlet adjustment.

[0029] The faucet outlet pipe 1 of this utility model is connected to the faucet body. The end of the faucet outlet pipe 1 connected to the faucet body is the inlet end, and the end of the faucet outlet pipe 1 away from the faucet body is the outlet end; the flexible hose 2 is distributed along the length of the faucet outlet pipe 1.

[0030] For ease of water control and aesthetic purposes, a pull-out head 7 is provided on the water outlet end to cooperate with the faucet water outlet pipe 1.

[0031] To accommodate hoses of different diameters, the hose and connector utilize one of the following connections: threaded connection, quick-connect / snap-in connection, or snap-fit ​​connection. When a quick-connect / snap-in connection is used between the hose and connector, such as... Figure 3As shown, the connector 3 includes a connector body 31 and a hose connector 32 connecting the connector body 31 and the hose 2. A barbed structure 33 is provided around the end of the hose connector 32 that contacts the hose 2, and the barbed structure 33 contacts the inner wall of the hose 2. To ensure a sealing effect, the connector body 31 is a sleeve-shaped structure with a connector mounting hole 34 for the lower end of the hose connector 32 to be inserted. A first sealing element 35 is provided between the connector body 31 and the lower inner wall of the faucet outlet pipe 1, and a second sealing element 36 is provided between the faucet body and the faucet outlet pipe 1. The first sealing element 35 and the second sealing element 36 are any one of an ORING sealing ring, a Y-shaped rubber ring, and a Y-shaped silicone ring.

[0032] To ensure reliable connection, the connector body 31 is provided with wedge-shaped blocks 37 radially distributed along the connector body 31 and passing through the connector body 31 and the hose connector 32 respectively. The connector body 31 is provided with through wedge-shaped holes for the wedge-shaped blocks 37 to pass through, and the hose connector 32 is provided with wedge-shaped grooves for positioning and abutting the wedge-shaped holes. The wedge-shaped grooves are non-through structures. Two wedge-shaped blocks 37 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the central axis of the connector body 31.

[0033] In its initial position, the connector 3 of this invention is located near the faucet body on the faucet outlet pipe 1. The faucet outlet pipe 1 is threadedly fitted to the faucet body; the end of the travel of the connector 3 does not exceed the limiting boss 9 provided on the vertical section of the faucet outlet pipe 1, and the limiting boss 9 is used to prevent the connector connected to the hose from being completely pulled out.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely descriptions for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all implementations here, and any obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
