Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and more specifically, to a quick-installation structure for a faucet and a faucet. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, during the installation of faucets, users or installers usually need to reach under the mounting surface (such as the surface of a basin) to tighten the mounting bolts or screws. However, due to the small space and poor lighting under the countertop, installation is inconvenient.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, a faucet assembly and its installation method have been designed [Application No.: 201910339685.5; Publication No.: CN110130444A]. The assembly includes a base, a screw mounted on the base, the screw's shank extending through the base, a mounting plate, the screw being threadedly connected to the mounting plate, wherein the base contacts the top surface of the countertop to be installed, and the mounting plate contacts the bottom surface of the countertop to be installed, and a faucet, the faucet being fixedly mounted on the base, and the faucet's inlet pipe extending through the base to connect to the water inlet line.
[0004] When installing the faucet assembly described above, the screws must first be passed through the base and threaded onto the mounting plate. Then, the mounting plate is passed through the mounting surface and positioned on the bottom surface of the mounting surface. Next, the screws are rotated to raise the mounting plate, which is then clamped to both sides of the mounting surface with the base. Finally, the faucet is fixed to the base. However, the mounting plate is not easy to pass through the mounting holes in the mounting surface, and rotating the screws does not raise the mounting plate. The installer needs to use tools or reach under the mounting surface to support the mounting plate, so that the mounting plate touches the bottom surface of the mounting surface, and then rotate the screws to lock it in place. The operation is still not convenient enough. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a quick-installation structure for a faucet, comprising a faucet body and a mounting block. The faucet body is detachably mounted on an external mounting platform. The mounting platform has a through hole suitable for the mounting block to pass through, the through hole having an upper edge. The mounting block is slidably mounted on the faucet body. A bolt is provided on the faucet body, and a nut threadedly connected to the bolt is provided on the mounting block. An expandable / retractable limiting block is provided on the mounting block. During installation, the limiting block is extended / retracted via the upper edge. The mounting block retracts to allow the mounting block to pass through the through hole from top to bottom. After the mounting block passes through the through hole, the limiting block unfolds under its own weight. An external force rotates the bolt to move the mounting block toward one side of the through hole, so that the limiting block abuts against the upper limit of the mounting surface. This utility model of a quick-install faucet structure is simple in structure and low in production cost. During installation, simply pass the mounting block downward through the through hole and then tighten the bolt to fix the limiting block against the lower side of the mounting surface. The installation process is completed on the upper side of the mounting surface, making it convenient and quick to install.
[0006] Optionally, the bolt is inclined and has a bolt head, and the faucet body has a clearance hole corresponding to the bolt head.
[0007] Optionally, the faucet body is provided with an installation sleeve, the bolt is circumferentially rotatably disposed inside the installation sleeve, and the bolt head abuts against the upper side of the installation sleeve for limiting.
[0008] Optionally, the mounting block is slidably disposed on the faucet body in a vertical direction, and the nut is slidably disposed on the mounting block in a horizontal direction.
[0009] Optionally, the mounting block is provided with a slider, and the nut is provided with a groove that slides with the slider.
[0010] Optionally, a limit rod is provided on the faucet body, and a sliding sleeve is provided on the mounting block, the sliding sleeve being slidably sleeved on the outside of the limit rod.
[0011] Optionally, the faucet body is provided with a base, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the through hole.
[0012] Optionally, the limiting block is rotatably connected to the mounting block, and the limiting block includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block arranged symmetrically.
[0013] Optionally, the mounting block is provided with a first limiting part, and the limiting block is provided with a second limiting part corresponding to the first limiting part; when the limiting block is in the unfolded state, the first limiting part and the second limiting part abut against each other to limit the movement.
[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the quick-installation faucet structure of this utility model is simple in structure and low in production cost. During installation, simply pass the mounting block downward through the through hole, and then tighten the bolt to make the limiting block abut against the lower side of the mounting platform for fixation. The installation process is completed on the upper side of the mounting platform, which is convenient and quick to operate. The faucet body is provided with a relief hole corresponding to the bolt head, so that an external bolt rotating tool can be inserted into the relief hole to rotate the bolt. The limiting block includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block arranged symmetrically. During installation, the two limiting blocks abut against the lower side of the mounting platform for fixation, making the faucet body more stable.
[0015] In addition, this utility model also provides a faucet, including the above-mentioned quick-installation structure for faucets. This faucet also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned quick-installation structure for faucets, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship when the product is in normal use.
[0028] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
[0029] See Figures 1-9This utility model provides a quick-installation structure for a faucet, including a faucet body 1 and an installation block 2. The faucet body 1 is detachably installed on an external mounting surface 3. The mounting surface 3 has a through hole 301 suitable for the installation block 2 to pass through, and the diameter of the installation block 2 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 301. The through hole 301 has an upper edge 3011. The installation block 2 is slidably mounted on the faucet body 1. A bolt 4 is provided on the faucet body 1, and a nut 5 threadedly connected to the bolt 4 is provided on the installation block 2. When the bolt 4 rotates, it drives the nut 5 to slide along the axial direction of the bolt 4. The installation block 2 is provided with an expandable / retractable limiting block 6. Normally, the limiting block 6 is in the expanded state. When the limiting block 6 is expanded, it prevents the installation block 2 from passing through the through hole 301, i.e., the installation block 2 cannot pass through the through hole 301 at this time. When the limiting block 6 is retracted, the installation block 2 can carry the retracted limiting block. 6. The faucet body 1 is placed on the upper side of the mounting platform 3 during installation. The mounting block 2 is then passed downward through the through hole 301. At this time, the upper edge 3011 retracts the limiting block 6 so that the mounting block 2 can pass through the through hole 301 from top to bottom. After the mounting block 2 passes through the through hole 301, the limiting block 6 unfolds under its own weight. External force is used to rotate the bolt 4 through a screwdriver, Allen wrench, or other bolt-rotating tool to move the mounting block 2 toward one side of the through hole 301 so that the limiting block 6 abuts against the upper limit of the mounting platform 3. The bolt-rotating tool is compatible with the bolt 4 and can be a manual or electric tool. This utility model of a quick-install faucet structure is simple in structure and has low production cost. During installation, the mounting block is simply passed downward through the through hole, and then the bolt is tightened so that the limiting block abuts against the lower side of the mounting platform for fixation. The installation process is completed on the upper side of the mounting platform, which is convenient and quick to operate.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bolt 4 is inclined and has a bolt head 401. The faucet body 1 has a clearance hole 101 corresponding to the bolt head 401, so that an external bolt rotating tool can be inserted into the clearance hole 101 to rotate the bolt 4. During installation, the bolt 4 rotates in the forward direction, and the nut 5 slides upward along the axial direction of the bolt 4. The nut 5 drives the mounting block 2 to slide vertically upward, so that the limit block 6 abuts against the upper limit of the mounting platform 3, thereby completing the fixed installation of the faucet body 1. During disassembly, the bolt 4 is rotated in the opposite direction (i.e., the opposite direction to the installation) by inserting the bolt rotating tool into the clearance hole 101, so that the nut 5 drives the mounting block 2 downward to disengage from the bolt 4. At this time, the faucet body 1 can be removed upward from the mounting platform 3. The operation is simple and the structure is reasonably designed.
[0031] See Figure 6 and Figure 7A mounting sleeve 102 is fixedly installed on the faucet body 1. The bolt 4 is circumferentially rotated inside the mounting sleeve 102. The bolt head 401 abuts against the upper side of the mounting sleeve 102 for limiting, so that the bolt 4 only rotates in the circumferential direction when rotating, and is not prone to vertical and horizontal displacement. The structural design is reasonable.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The mounting block 2 is slidably mounted on the faucet body 1 in the vertical direction, and the nut 5 is slidably mounted on the mounting block 2 in the horizontal direction, that is, the nut 5 and the mounting block 2 can have relative displacement in the horizontal direction. The faucet body 1 is provided with a base 103, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the through hole 301. During installation, the lower end of the base 103 is placed against the upper side of the mounting platform 3, and then the bolt 4 is rotated to install and fix the faucet body 1 to the mounting platform 3.
[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting block 2 is integrally provided with a slider 201, and the nut 5 is provided with a sliding groove 501 that slides with the slider 201. When the bolt 4 is rotated, the nut 5 slides along the axial direction of the bolt 4. At this time, the nut 5 drives the mounting block 2 to move in the vertical direction, and the mounting block 2 moves horizontally relative to the nut 5. When the bolt 4 is rotated, the slider 201 limits the nut 5 in the circumferential direction of the bolt 4, so that the nut 5 will not rotate circumferentially with the rotation of the bolt 4. In this embodiment, the slider 201 extends in the horizontal direction and there are two sliders 201, which are arranged in parallel.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The faucet body 1 is provided with a limiting rod 7, and the mounting block 2 is provided with a sliding sleeve 202. The sliding sleeve 202 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 7 in the vertical direction. The limiting rod 7 extends in the vertical direction, so that the mounting block 2 can only move in the vertical direction, so that the mounting block 2 can drive the limiting block 6 to abut against the lower side of the mounting platform 3 for fixation. The limiting rod 7 can be a guide rod with smooth sidewalls.
[0035] See Figure 6 and Figure 7The limiting block 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 2. The limiting block 6 includes a first limiting block 61 and a second limiting block 62 symmetrically arranged. During installation, the two limiting blocks are fixed against the lower side of the mounting surface 3, making the faucet body 1 more stable. A hinge shaft 602 connects the limiting block 6 and the mounting block 2. The limiting block 6 is hinged to the mounting block 2 through the hinge shaft 602, which has a hinge axis. When the limiting block 6 is retracted, in the horizontal direction, the center of gravity of the limiting block 6 is located on the side away from the hinge axis from the bolt 4, so that the limiting block 6 can be fixed under its own weight under normal conditions. The faucet body 1 is rotated and unfolded. A first limiting part 203 is provided on the mounting block 2, and a second limiting part 601 corresponding to the first limiting part 203 is provided on the limiting block 6. When the limiting block 6 is in the unfolded state, the first limiting part 203 and the second limiting part 601 abut against each other to limit the limiting block 6 so that the limiting block 6 is kept in the unfolded state and fixed against the lower side of the mounting platform 3. A water inlet pipe 9 is provided at the lower end of the faucet body 1. The water inlet pipe 9 is a flexible hose and is used to connect to the external water circuit. During installation, the water inlet pipe 9 passes through the through hole 301. The water inlet pipe 9 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] The quick-installation structure for faucets in this utility model is simple in structure and low in production cost. During installation, simply pass the mounting block downward through the through hole, and then tighten the bolt to make the limiting block abut against the lower side of the mounting platform for fixation. The installation process is completed on the upper side of the mounting platform, which is convenient and quick to operate. The faucet body is provided with a relief hole corresponding to the bolt head, so that an external bolt rotating tool can be inserted into the relief hole to rotate the bolt. The limiting block includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block arranged symmetrically. During installation, the two limiting blocks abut against the lower side of the mounting platform for fixation, making the installation of the faucet body more stable.
[0037] In addition, this utility model also provides a faucet, including the above-mentioned quick-installation structure for faucets. This faucet also has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned quick-installation structure for faucets, which will not be described in detail here.
