[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] This utility model provides an embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1-3 A 360° and 3D rotatable faucet structure includes a connecting connector 16. The inlet end of the connecting connector 16 is connected to a water pipe or the outlet end of an existing faucet. The outlet end of the connecting connector 16 is movably connected to a connecting pipe 1. There is damping between the connecting pipe 1 and the outlet end of the connecting connector 16, which releases the restriction on the connecting pipe 1. The rotation angle of the connecting pipe 1 can be fixed. One end of the connecting pipe 1 is movably connected to one end of an angle joint 2 through a connecting structure. The outlet end of the connecting connector 16 and the angle joint 2 are located on the same side of the connecting pipe 1. The connecting structure includes a cylindrical connecting shaft 6 that is threaded into the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 1. A sealing ring 2 5 is provided between the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 and the connecting pipe 1 to improve the sealing performance between the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 and the connecting pipe 1.

[0020] A sealing gasket 17 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the cylindrical connecting shaft 6. The sealing gasket 17 has a boss-type design. When the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 1, one end of the sealing gasket 17 fits tightly against the connecting pipe 1, and the outer ring of one end of the sealing gasket 17 is the same as the outer ring of the connecting pipe 1. The end of the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 away from the connecting pipe 1 and the other end of the sealing gasket 17 are both located in the inner cavity of one end of the elbow joint 2. The elbow joint 2 and the other end of the sealing gasket 17 are in a movable connection state. The sealing gasket 17 can improve the sealing performance between the connecting pipe 1 and the elbow joint 2.

[0021] A sealing ring 7 is movably fitted onto the outer ring of the cylindrical connecting shaft 6. The sealing ring 7 is located within the inner cavity of the angle joint 2, and the sealing ring 7 is connected to the angle joint 2 via a connecting screw 19. Through the setting of the sealing ring 7, the angle joint 2 and the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 are in a movable connection state, allowing the angle joint 2 to move circumferentially along the cylindrical connecting shaft 6. Furthermore, there is damping between the sealing ring 7 and the cylindrical connecting shaft 6, which releases the restriction on the angle joint 2, allowing the angle of the angle joint 2 to be fixed. The sealing ring 7 is made of a wear-resistant material, and its material can be set according to requirements, without limitation here. In one embodiment of this application, the sealing ring 7 is made of graphene-reinforced silicone.

[0022] A sealing ring 8 is provided at the end of the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 away from the connecting pipe 1. There are two sealing rings 8, both of which are located on the side of the sealing ring 7 away from the connecting pipe 1. By setting up double sealing rings 8, the sealing performance between the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 and the elbow joint 2 is improved, and the sealing reliability is ensured.

[0023] The angle joint 2 and the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 are fixedly connected by a fixing screw 20. The fixing screw 20 is threadedly connected to the angle joint 2, and the fixing screw 20 is located between the sealing ring 7 and the sealing gasket 17. When the user tightens the fixing screw 20 so that the fixing screw 20 and the cylindrical connecting shaft 6 are tightly fitted, the position of the angle joint 2 can be fixed.

[0024] As described above, in use, the elbow joint 2 can rotate 360° in multiple positions along the direction of the cylindrical connecting shaft 6. The cylindrical connecting shaft 6 has a hollow structure, and the outlet end of the connecting joint 16 can be connected to the connecting pipe 1 through a connecting structure.

[0025] The other end of the elbow joint 2 is movably connected to an aerator 4 via a universal structure 3. The universal structure 3 includes a ball joint rod 13 threadedly connected to the other end of the elbow joint 2, a ball head 10 connected to the bottom end of the ball joint rod 13, and a water nozzle connector 15 movably connected to the outer ring of the ball head 10. A sealing ring 9 is provided between the ball joint rod 13 and the elbow joint 2 to improve the sealing performance between the ball joint rod 13 and the elbow joint 2. Both the ball joint rod 13 and the ball head 10 are hollow structures.

[0026] The bottom outer wall of the water tap connector 15 is threaded to the housing of the aerator 4. A sealing ring 4 11 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the water tap connector 15. The sealing ring 4 11 fits tightly with the top of the housing of the aerator 4. The sealing ring 4 11 is used to improve the sealing between the water tap connector 15 and the aerator 4. The aerator 4 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] A sealing component is provided in the inner cavity of the top of the water tap connector 15. The sealing component improves the sealing between the water tap connector 15 and the ball head 10. The sealing component includes, from top to bottom, an elastic buckle 12, a sealing ring 18, and a sealing ring 14. The sealing ring 18 fits tightly with the elastic buckle 12 and the sealing ring 14.

[0028] With the omnidirectional structure 3 in place, the bubbler 4 can rotate in 3D.

[0029] The sealing rings and sealing rings involved in this application are all made of wear-resistant materials. The materials can be selected according to the requirements and are not limited here.

[0030] In summary, when using this 360° and 3D rotatable faucet structure, the connecting connector 16 is used to connect to a water pipe or the outlet of an existing faucet. Water enters the aerator 4 through the connecting connector 16, connecting pipe 1, and elbow connector 2, and is then discharged through the aerator 4. During use, the user can rotate the connecting pipe 1, the elbow connector 2, and the aerator 4 as needed to achieve multi-position 360° and 3D rotation of the aerator 4. The water outlet angle of this faucet structure is unrestricted, improving adaptability. Furthermore, the user can use the fixing screw 20 to fix the angle of the elbow connector 2, facilitating one-handed adjustment of the aerator 4's position.
