Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental floss technology, and in particular to a quick connector for a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A dental flosser is a tool used for oral cleaning and care. Common types include ultrasonic dental flossers and oral irrigators. Oral irrigators mainly use water flow to flush out food debris and bacteria from between teeth and gingival sulcus. They mainly consist of a flossing head, a handle, and various accessories that connect to the faucet.

[0003] The existing connection method between the water flosser and the faucet is too cumbersome, requiring the use of other connecting accessories, such as faucet connecting sleeves, sleeve clamps, and bolts. This connection method, which relies on various accessories, makes the connection of the water flosser too complicated, time-consuming, and laborious when using it. Therefore, this utility model provides a quick connector for the faucet. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-connect faucet, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a quick connector for a faucet, comprising a connector and a conversion connector connected to the connector, wherein one end of the conversion connector has a thread machined on its outer surface;

[0006] The connector has a water delivery channel in the middle, and a pipe connector is integrally provided at the bottom of the connector corresponding to one end of the water delivery channel.

[0007] The connector is also fitted with a protective sleeve.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the connector and the conversion connector are fixedly connected. A sealing groove is provided on the upper outer side of the connector, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove. The sealing ring is located between the lower inner end of the conversion connector and the connector for sealing and protection.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the sheath is fixedly connected to the connector, and the outer surface of the sheath is machined with anti-slip texture.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, multiple limiting arc blocks are distributed in a circle between the sheath and the conversion connector, and the sheath and the conversion connector are fixed together by the limiting arc blocks.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the cross-section of the pipe joint is frustum-shaped, and one end of the pipe joint is connected to the water supply channel, while the other end of the pipe joint is fitted with a retractable connecting hose.

[0012] This utility model provides a quick-connect faucet, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] This design features a quick-connect faucet with external threads machined on the adapter. This quick-connect faucet connects to a dental flosser via a connecting hose, serving as a dedicated connector for the dental flosser. It allows for quick and easy connection to faucets with internal threads, eliminating the need for various adapters and accessories required when connecting a dental flosser to a faucet in traditional methods. This traditional method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. This design is faster, more convenient, and easier to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a quick-connect faucet technical solution: a quick-connect faucet includes a connector 1 and a conversion connector 2 connected to the connector 1. One end of the conversion connector 2 has a thread machined on its outer surface. This quick-connect faucet is mainly used in household faucets with filters, such as kitchen faucets, bathroom or basin faucets, water purifier faucets, etc., which generally have a water filter (i.e. contain a filter screen). The water filter is screwed onto the faucet outlet. By unscrewing the water filter, the quick-connect can be screwed onto the faucet. Alternatively, it can be used with commercial faucets with internal threads, such as laboratory faucets, whose outlets have internal threads for easy connection of pipe fittings. The size of the conversion connector 2 can be selected according to different diameter faucets. It is fixed to the faucet by a threaded quick connection. Compared with the inconvenience of connecting traditional dental cleaning heads to faucets and the cumbersome problem of needing to use other adapters for conversion, the conversion connector 2 designed in this invention only needs to be adapted to the dental cleaning head, which facilitates the quick connection between the dental cleaning head and the faucet.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a water supply channel 5 is provided in the middle of the connector 1, and a pipe connector 4 is integrally provided at one end of the connector 1 corresponding to the water supply channel 5. The cross-section of the pipe connector 4 is frustoconical, and one end of the pipe connector 4 communicates with the water supply channel 5. The other end of the pipe connector 4 is fitted with a retractable connecting hose 8. In addition, as shown... Figure 4 As shown in the figure, 'a' refers to the cleaning head handle. The other end of the connecting hose 8 is connected to the cleaning handle, which allows water to be delivered from the connecting hose 8 to the cleaning head handle after the quick connector is connected to the faucet. The water flow is controlled by the cleaning head handle, and water is then delivered to the cleaning head. It is used to clean teeth, between teeth and oral soft tissues.

[0022] The connector 1 is also equipped with a protective sleeve 3, which is fixedly connected to the connector 1. The outer surface of the protective sleeve 3 is machined with anti-slip texture to facilitate better screwing when connected to the faucet. Multiple limiting arc blocks 7 are distributed in a circle between the protective sleeve 3 and the conversion connector 2, and the protective sleeve 3 and the conversion connector 2 are fixed together by the limiting arc blocks 7 to improve the firmness of the quick connector. The connector 1 and the conversion connector 2 are fixedly connected. A sealing groove is opened on the upper outer side of the connector 1, and a sealing ring 6 is installed in the sealing groove. The sealing ring 6 is located between the lower inner end of the conversion connector 2 and the connector 1 for sealing and protection.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the quick connector is connected to the cleaning handle through the connecting hose 8, and the cleaning handle is matched with the dental cleaning head. Therefore, when using the dental cleaning head, the quick connector is directly connected to the faucet. For example, for faucets with internal threads, simply screw it on. For faucets with water filters, first unscrew the water filter, and then use the conversion connector 2 on the quick connector to screw it onto the faucet to complete the quick connection.

[0024] Once connected, the water from the faucet can be delivered to the connecting hose 8 through the quick connector, and then to the dental cleaning head through the cleaning handle, making it easy to use the dental cleaning head. This design makes the connection between the dental cleaning head and the faucet more effective and direct, and does not require any other connecting accessories, making it convenient to operate and quick to use.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
