Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a kitchen faucet. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing diversification of modern kitchen functions, faucets, as core kitchen water appliances, are receiving more and more attention for their functionality and practicality. In daily cooking and cleaning scenarios, users not only need to meet basic water supply needs, but also expect to switch between different water flow modes through faucets. For example, a gentle and dispersed water flow is needed when rinsing fruits and vegetables, while a strong and concentrated water flow is needed when washing pots and pans. However, traditional kitchen faucets generally adopt a single water flow mode design. At the same time, as consumers' demands for intelligent and user-friendly home products increase, the shortcomings of traditional faucets in terms of ease of adjustment and water flow control precision are becoming increasingly apparent. There is an urgent need to develop new types of faucets to meet the refined water needs of modern kitchens.
[0003] Existing kitchen faucets mainly adopt the following technical solutions: one is to use a single fixed spout structure, and the water flow is controlled by adjusting the valve core, which is suitable for simple water dispensing scenarios; the other is a smart sensor faucet, which controls the switch through infrared or microwave sensing.
[0004] However, existing kitchen faucets generally suffer from a lack of diverse water flow modes, making it difficult to meet the needs of various usage scenarios. Users find it difficult to quickly adjust the dispersion and impact of the water flow according to actual needs. When washing vegetables, excessive water flow can easily damage the leaves, while concentrated water flow is insufficient to thoroughly clean dirt from crevices. When washing greasy pots and pans, dispersed water flow cannot effectively rinse away stubborn stains, affecting user experience and efficiency. Therefore, a new type of kitchen faucet is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a kitchen faucet, which aims to improve the problem that the existing technology has a single water flow mode adjustment, which is difficult to meet the needs of diverse usage scenarios and affects user experience and efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A kitchen faucet includes a support base, a connecting pipe fixedly connected inside the support base, a sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe, a telescopic flexible hose provided at one end of the sleeve, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected at one end of the telescopic flexible hose, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the sleeve, an adjusting component provided at one end of the rotating shaft, and a connecting component provided at the bottom of the support base.
[0008] The adjustment assembly includes a rotating plate, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The rotating plate has multiple diversion holes inside, and a knob is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft. The knob is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sleeve.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The connecting assembly includes a hollow tube and a water supply pipe. The top end of the hollow tube is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support base, and the water supply pipe is slidably connected inside the hollow tube.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the hollow tube, and the water supply pipe is in contact with the sealing ring.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The hollow tube is slidably connected to a sliding sleeve on its outer wall, and the sliding sleeve has a hollow groove inside.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] A spring is fitted on the outer wall of the hollow tube, and the spring is located inside the hollow groove. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the hollow tube and the sliding sleeve, respectively.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The sliding sleeve has a limiting groove inside, and the hollow tube has a slidable ball inside.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, rotating the knob drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating plate to rotate inside the sleeve. The multiple diversion holes distributed on the rotating plate change their relative positions with the water flow channel inside the sleeve as the rotating plate rotates. These structures work together to achieve the effect of easy adjustment of the water flow mode, solving the problem that the water flow mode adjustment is singular and difficult to meet the needs of diverse usage scenarios, affecting the user experience and efficiency, thereby improving the applicability of the kitchen faucet.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, by pulling the sliding sleeve to compress the spring, the water supply pipe is inserted into the hollow pipe and then the sliding sleeve is released. The spring rebound drives the sliding sleeve to reset, causing the retaining ball to lock the retaining ring. These structures work together to achieve the effect of quickly and conveniently connecting and disassembling the water supply pipe and the faucet. This solves the problem of cumbersome connection and disassembly of the water supply pipe of traditional kitchen faucets, which requires tools and is prone to damage to parts, thereby improving the flexibility of kitchen faucets.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The present invention provides an embodiment of a kitchen faucet, comprising a support base 1, a connecting pipe 2 fixedly connected inside the support base 1, a sleeve 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 2, a telescopic hose 4 provided at one end of the sleeve 3, the telescopic hose 4 being an adjustable part of the faucet, which can be extended or retracted as needed to flexibly adjust the working range of the faucet, a water outlet pipe 5 fixedly connected at one end of the telescopic hose 4, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected inside the sleeve 3, an adjusting component provided at one end of the rotating shaft 6, and a connecting component provided at the bottom of the support base 1;
[0033] The adjustment assembly includes a rotating plate 7, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating shaft 6. The rotating plate 7 has multiple diversion holes 9 inside, which can adjust the number and size of water flow channels according to rotation, thereby achieving the adjustment of different flow rates and water pressures. The other end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to a knob 8, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 3. The water flow can be adjusted by rotating the knob 8.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connecting assembly includes a hollow tube 10 and a water supply pipe 11. The top end of the hollow tube 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support base 1. The water supply pipe 11 is slidably connected inside the hollow tube 10. A retaining ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water supply pipe 11, and the retaining ring 12 is slidably connected inside the hollow tube 10. The function of the retaining ring 12 is to ensure that the water supply pipe 11 can slide freely inside the hollow tube 10 without falling off. A sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected inside the hollow tube 10. The water supply pipe 11 contacts the sealing ring 13, which prevents water leakage. A sliding sleeve 14 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the hollow pipe 10. A hollow groove 16 is opened inside the sliding sleeve 14. A spring 15 is fitted on the outer wall of the hollow pipe 10. The spring 15 is set inside the hollow groove 16. The two ends of the spring 15 are fixedly connected to the hollow pipe 10 and the sliding sleeve 14 respectively. The function of the spring 15 is to apply a rebound force to the sliding sleeve 14 to ensure that the water supply pipe 11 always maintains a stable position during use and to avoid movement caused by external forces. A limit groove 17 is opened inside the sliding sleeve 14. A retaining bead 18 is slidably connected inside the hollow pipe 10.
[0035] Working principle: When using this kitchen faucet, water first flows in from the water supply pipe 11, enters the sleeve 3 through the connecting pipe 2, and then flows out from the outlet pipe 5 through the telescopic hose 4, thus realizing the transmission of water flow. When it is necessary to adjust the water flow mode or flow rate, the knob 8 can be turned. The knob 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 6 drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate inside the sleeve 3. The rotating plate 7 has multiple diversion holes 9. As the rotating plate 7 rotates, the relative position of the diversion holes 9 and the water flow channel inside the sleeve 3 changes. When the diversion holes 9 are partially or completely aligned with the water flow channel, the water will flow out through the diversion holes 9, changing the path and distribution of the water flow, thereby realizing the adjustment of the water flow mode. When the diversion holes 9 are fully open, the water flow is dispersed. When the diversion holes 9 are partially closed, the water flow is concentrated, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the water flow mode according to the needs.
[0036] When it is necessary to connect and disconnect the water supply pipe 11 and the faucet, first pull the sliding sleeve 14 on the outer wall of the hollow pipe 10 so that it slides on the outer wall of the hollow pipe 10. During this process, the sliding sleeve 14 will compress the spring 15. At this time, the water supply pipe 11 and the retaining ring 12 on its outer wall are inserted into the sealing ring 13 inside the hollow pipe 10 for connection. Then, the sliding sleeve 14 is released, and the spring 15 releases the force and rebounds, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 14 to reset, so that the sliding sleeve 14 applies pressure to the retaining ball 18. The retaining ball 18 is forced and locked on the outer wall of the retaining ring 12 to fix it, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the connection and disconnection of the water supply pipe 11 and the faucet.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
