During installation, the aerator needs to compress the sealing gasket to a certain extent to ensure that the outlet pipe and the gap are not connected. However, during installation, users often fail to install the aerator properly, causing leaks at the sealing gasket. Water flows into the gap between the outlet pipe and the channel, and then into the bathroom cabinet, causing water accumulation and damage. Therefore, this application provides a faucet and bathroom fixture to solve or improve the problems of complex aerator installation and easy leakage.

[0039] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0040] According to an embodiment of this application, in one aspect, a faucet is provided, including: a faucet body 1, a mounting base 4, and an aerator 5.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the faucet body 1 has a channel 101, the channel 101 has a first port, a water outlet pipe 2 is provided in the channel 101, the water outlet pipe 2 is provided with a water outlet end, the water outlet end is provided in the first port, and there is a gap 3 between the outer wall of the water outlet end and the inner wall of the first port.

[0042] Mounting base 4 is sealed to the inner wall of the first port. Mounting base 4 is provided with a first sealing part 401. The first sealing part 401 is sealed to the water outlet end. Mounting base 4 is provided with a through hole 402. The water outlet end communicates with the through hole 402.

[0043] The bubbler 5 is detachably connected to the through hole 402.

[0044] In this embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water outlet end of the water pipe 2 is connected to the first port of the channel 101. The mounting base 4 is sealed to the first port, and the first sealing part 401 on the mounting base 4 is sealed to the water outlet end, which can prevent water from the water outlet end from seeping into the gap 3 between the outer wall of the water outlet end and the inner wall of the first port. The mounting base 4 has a through hole 402 to ensure that the water output from the water outlet end of the water pipe 2 can only enter the through hole 402. The aerator 5 is connected in the through hole 402, and the water is foamed by the aerator 5. After long-term use, the aerator 5 becomes clogged. The aerator 5 is removed from the through hole 402, cleaned, and then installed in the through hole 402. The aerator 5 is connected to the water outlet pipe 2 through the mounting base 4. When removing the aerator 5, there is no need to pay attention to the sealing effect between the aerator 5 and the water outlet pipe 2, which can prevent water output from the water outlet end from seeping into the gap 3 between the outer wall of the water outlet end and the inner wall of the first port, thus preventing damage to the bathroom cabinet.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first sealing part 401 includes:

[0046] An annular protrusion 4011 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 402. The annular protrusion 4011 and the inner wall of the through hole 402 form a sealing groove 4012. The water outlet is provided in the sealing groove 4012 and the two are in sealed contact.

[0047] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water outlet is sealed to the sealing groove 4012, the outer wall of the water outlet is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the through hole 402, and the end of the water outlet is in sealed contact with the end face of the annular protrusion 4011. This allows the water outlet to be sealed to the sealing groove 4012, so that the water output from the water outlet can only be output through the through hole 402, preventing the water output from the water outlet from entering the gap 3 between the outer wall of the water outlet and the inner wall of the first port.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end face of the aerator 5 is in sealed contact with the side of the annular protrusion 4011 away from the water outlet.

[0049] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner hole of the annular protrusion 4011 is connected to the through hole 402. The water output from the outlet enters the through hole 402 and passes through the inner hole of the annular protrusion 4011 before being input into the aerator 5. The end face of the aerator 5 is in sealed contact with the side of the annular protrusion 4011 away from the outlet to prevent water from seeping out from the side wall of the aerator 5.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing groove 4012 and the water outlet end adopt a dual sealing method. The water outlet end is embedded in the sealing groove 4012 to achieve radial sealing, and the end face of the aerator 5 and the annular protrusion 4011 form an end face seal. The two sealing methods complement each other and cover pressure leakage paths in different directions.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing groove 4012 encloses the water outlet end, preventing axial and radial displacement and avoiding seal failure due to loosening. It also improves vibration resistance under mechanical vibration or water flow impact. Axial refers to the axial direction of the water outlet end, and radial refers to the radial direction of the water outlet end.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a second sealing part 6 is provided between the bubbler 5 and the through hole 402.

[0053] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second sealing part 6 can further prevent water output from the water outlet from seeping out between the aerator 5 and the through hole 402.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second sealing part 6 includes:

[0055] The mounting groove 601 and the seal 602 are respectively located on the outer wall of the bubbler 5 and on the inner wall of the through hole 402.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, an installation groove 601 is provided on the outer wall of the bubbler 5. The groove opening of the installation groove 601 is arranged corresponding to the inner wall of the through hole 402. A part of the sealing element 602 is installed in the installation groove 601 and is sealed to the installation groove 601, while the other part is sealed to the inner wall of the through hole 402.

[0057] Specifically, the seal 602 is a sealing ring, the mounting groove 601 is an annular groove, a part of the sealing ring is installed in the annular groove and is sealed to the mounting groove 601, and the other part of the sealing ring is sealed to the inner wall of the through hole 402.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the through hole 402 is provided with an installation groove 601. The groove opening of the installation groove 601 is arranged corresponding to the outer wall of the bubbler 5. A part of the sealing ring is installed in the installation groove 601 and is sealed to the installation groove 601, while the other part is sealed to the outer wall of the bubbler 5.

[0059] In some embodiments, the material of the seal 602 can be customized for different water qualities, such as acid and alkali resistant rubber or silicone, to extend its service life; the standardized design of the mounting groove 601 allows for compatibility with multiple sealing methods.

[0060] In some embodiments, the sealing ring can be an O-ring or a lip seal.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second sealing part 6 is provided to balance the water pressure inside and outside the bubbler 5, reducing the risk of deformation or extrusion of the seal 602 due to excessive pressure difference.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting base 4 includes:

[0063] The tube structure 403 has a first thread 4031 on its outer wall and a second thread matching the first thread 4031 on the inner wall of the first port. The tube structure 403 is threadedly connected to the first port.

[0064] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pipe structure 403 is connected to the first port by a first thread 4031 and a second thread, which makes installation more convenient and the threaded connection can improve the sealing effect at the connection.

[0065] In one embodiment, an adhesive is provided between the first thread 4031 and the second thread.

[0066] In this embodiment, an adhesive is provided between the first thread 4031 and the second thread, which can improve the connection strength between the first thread 4031 and the second thread. At the same time, the adhesive can improve the sealing performance between the first thread 4031 and the second thread.

[0067] In some embodiments, threadlocker is used as the adhesive.

[0068] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the tube structure 403 is provided with a third thread 4032, and the outer wall of the bubbler 5 is provided with a fourth thread that matches the third thread 4032. The bubbler 5 is threadedly connected to the tube structure 403.

[0069] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fourth thread on the bubbler 5 is connected to the third thread 4032 on the tube structure 403, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the bubbler 5. The outer wall of the bubbler 5 is provided with an installation groove 601. The groove opening of the installation groove 601 is arranged correspondingly to the inner wall of the through hole 402. Part of the sealing ring is installed in the installation groove 601 and is sealed to the installation groove 601, while the other part is sealed to the inner wall of the through hole 402. When the bubbler 5 is installed, the installation groove 601 can limit the sealing ring to prevent the sealing ring from falling out of the installation groove 601, thereby improving the sealing effect between the bubbler 5 and the inner wall of the through hole 402.

[0070] In some embodiments, the threaded connection provides a quantifiable number of tightening turns, which, together with the mechanical limit of the annular step 404, ensures that the axial position of the mounting base 4 is fixed, avoiding excessive tightening that could deform the sealing structure.

[0071] In some embodiments, the application of adhesive not only enhances sealing but also suppresses the self-loosening of threads caused by vibration or temperature changes, thereby improving long-term stability.

[0072] In some embodiments, the separate design of the third thread 4032 and the fourth thread allows the bubbler 5 to be replaced without removing the mounting base 4, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the tube structure 403 is provided with an annular step 404, which abuts against the end face of the first port.

[0074] In this embodiment, the annular step 404 can abut against the first port, making the connection between the tube structure 403 and the first port more stable.

[0075] According to an embodiment of this application, another aspect, a bathroom fixture is also provided.

[0076] Specifically, bathroom fixtures include faucets as described above.

[0077] It should be noted that the bathroom fixtures include the faucet provided in the embodiments of this application, and therefore include all the advantages of the faucet mentioned above, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The following is an example, combined with Figures 1 to 7 A comprehensive explanation of all the above-mentioned plans is provided.

[0079] The outlet end of the water pipe 2 is connected to the first port of the channel 101. The mounting base 4 is sealed and connected to the first port. The annular protrusion 4011 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 402. The annular protrusion 4011 and the inner wall of the through hole 402 form a sealing groove 4012. The outer wall of the outlet end is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the through hole 402. The end of the outlet end is in sealed contact with the end face of the annular protrusion 4011. This allows the outlet end to be sealed and connected to the sealing groove 4012, so that the water output from the outlet end can only be output through the through hole 402, preventing the water output from the outlet end from entering the gap 3 between the outer wall of the outlet end and the inner wall of the first port.

[0080] The sealing groove 4012 and the outlet end employ a double sealing method. The outlet end is embedded in the sealing groove 4012 to achieve radial sealing, while the end face of the aerator 5 and the annular protrusion 4011 form an end face seal. These two sealing methods complement each other, covering pressure leakage paths in different directions. The sealing groove 4012 encloses the outlet end, preventing axial and radial displacement and avoiding seal failure due to loosening. This improves vibration resistance under mechanical vibration or water flow impact. Axial refers to the axial direction of the outlet end, and radial refers to the radial direction of the outlet end.

[0081] The mounting base 4 has a through hole 402, ensuring that water from the outlet end of the water outlet pipe 2 can only enter the through hole 402. The aerator 5 is connected to the through hole 402, and the water is aerated by the aerator 5. The outer wall of the aerator 5 has a mounting groove 601, the opening of which corresponds to the inner wall of the through hole 402. Part of the sealing ring is installed in the mounting groove 601 and sealed to it, while the other part is sealed to the inner wall of the through hole 402. The sealing ring material can be customized for different water qualities, such as acid and alkali resistant rubber or silicone, to extend its service life. The sealing ring can be an O-ring or a lip seal.

[0082] The tube structure 403 is connected to the first port by a first thread 4031 and a second thread, making installation more convenient. The threaded connection can improve the sealing effect at the connection. Adhesive is applied between the first thread 4031 and the second thread to further improve the connection strength between the first thread 4031 and the second thread, as well as the sealing performance between the first thread 4031 and the second thread.

[0083] After prolonged use, the aerator 5 becomes clogged. The aerator 5 is then removed from the through hole 402 and cleaned. After cleaning, it is reinstalled in the through hole 402. The aerator 5 is connected to the water outlet pipe 2 via the mounting base 4. When removing the aerator 5, there is no need to pay attention to the sealing effect between the aerator 5 and the water outlet pipe 2. This prevents water output from the water outlet from seeping into the gap 3 between the outer wall of the water outlet and the inner wall of the first port, thus preventing damage to the bathroom cabinet.

[0084] Bathroom fixtures can be shower fixtures.

[0085] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended application.
