Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipes, specifically a faucet pipe. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and thus saving water. Faucets have evolved rapidly, from old-fashioned cast iron faucets to electroplated knob faucets, and then to stainless steel single-temperature single-control faucets, stainless steel dual-temperature dual-control faucets, and semi-automatic kitchen faucets. When using a faucet, depending on the needs, sometimes a pipe connection is required. Currently, the main pipe connection for faucets on the market is a threaded connection, with male and female threads fitting together.

[0003] According to Chinese patent CN220706525U, the invention includes a faucet body and a valve core seat. The outer wall of the valve core seat is threaded with a pipe thread, and the outer wall of the pipe thread is fitted with a first flat washer and a second flat washer. The bottom of the outer wall of the pipe thread is threaded with a sleeve. The valve core seat is installed inside the faucet body, and a valve core is installed at the top of the valve core seat. Two copper inserts are fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve core seat. The bottom end of the valve core seat passes through the sleeve and extends to the outside of the faucet body. A water inlet pipe is symmetrically installed at the bottom of the valve core seat. A flat part is opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the valve core seat. A square plug is installed inside the valve core seat through the flat part, and one end of the square plug is adapted to the top of the water inlet pipe.

[0004] In the above solution, a square plug is used to limit the water inlet pipe, which still has the following disadvantages: the water inlet pipe is used in a relatively humid environment, which is prone to the breeding of insects such as cockroaches. The excrement of these insects may cause corrosion of the water inlet pipe, reduce the safety of the water inlet pipe during use, and shorten the service life of the water inlet pipe. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a faucet pipe to solve the problem that the water inlet pipe is used in a humid environment, which is prone to the breeding of insects such as cockroaches. The excrement of these insects may cause corrosion of the water inlet pipe, reduce the safety of the water inlet pipe during use, and shorten the service life of the water inlet pipe.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: a faucet pipe, including a protective outer tube, a flexible inner tube slidably inserted inside the protective outer tube, a first connector detachably provided at one end of the protective outer tube, a second connector detachably provided at the end of the flexible inner tube away from the first connector, a rotating groove provided at the end of the first connector near the protective outer tube, and the rotating groove being rotatably inserted into the surface of one end of the protective outer tube.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the rotating groove is fixed with a positioning internal thread, and the surface of the protective outer tube is provided with an external thread groove, wherein the positioning internal thread is threadedly connected to the external thread groove.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating groove is provided at one end of the rotating groove, an internal thread groove is provided on the inner wall surface of the rotating groove, and an external thread strip is provided on the surface of one end of the flexible inner tube, and the internal thread groove and the external thread strip are threadedly connected.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, a faucet pipe using the above-mentioned technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The outer protective tube is made of random copolymer polypropylene, and the inner flexible tube is made of polyvinyl chloride. A certain amount of plasticizer is added during the manufacturing process of the inner flexible tube to increase its flexibility. When the inner flexible tube is used in drinking water, machinery and equipment, wiring and other fields, the outer protective tube increases the safety of the inner flexible tube during operation and extends its service life because the inner flexible tube is protected by the outer protective tube.

[0011] 2. When the worker rotates and installs the first connector at one end of the protective outer tube, the positioning internal thread on the inner wall of the rotating groove will be fixed at one end of the protective outer tube through the threaded connection with the external thread groove. At this time, the external thread strip will be screwed into the interior of the internal thread groove. Then the worker can wrap a layer of Teflon tape around the connecting pipe and then press it into the interior of the flexible inner tube to increase the convenience of installation of the protective outer tube and the flexible inner tube.

[0012] 3. When the worker installs the first connector at one end of the flexible inner tube, the worker will first put the sealing ring and the pressing ring on the flexible inner tube in sequence, and then install the first connector. This will push the pressing ring to press on the sealing ring, thereby increasing the sealing between the first connector and the flexible inner tube. Attached Figure Description
