Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a faucet with a swingable water outlet arm. Background Technology

[0002] Faucets have a wide range of applications, and with technological advancements and changing user needs, traditional fixed faucets are no longer sufficient. As a result, faucets with rotatable spout arms have emerged on the market, significantly improving their flexibility. Currently, most faucets with rotatable spout arms on the market use a structure where the spout arm is inverted and easily disassembled, assembled at the top of the faucet body. While this structure is easy to assemble, it also suffers from instability. During use, the spout arm often falls off after accidental impact. Therefore, this invention provides a more securely assembled rotatable spout arm mounting structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a robust water outlet arm swing structure.

[0004] A faucet with a swingable spout arm includes a spout component, a limiting component, and a faucet body, wherein,

[0005] The water outlet component includes a mounting base and a water outlet arm. The bottom end of the mounting base forms a connector, and the water outlet arm is disposed around the periphery of the mounting base. The water outlet component has a mounting cavity, which forms a mounting opening at the top of the mounting base. A circular limiting constriction is formed inside the connector, and a water outlet is formed at the water outlet end of the water outlet arm.

[0006] The limiting member is inserted into the mounting cavity through the mounting port. One end is located inside the mounting cavity and has a limiting protrusion on its outer circumference that presses against or abuts the inner end face of the limiting constriction. The other end extends along the limiting constriction. The limiting member has a connecting channel through both ends in its middle.

[0007] The faucet body has a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity forms a circular insertion interface at the top of the faucet body.

[0008] The water outlet component is rotatably installed on the top of the faucet body by inserting it into the connector. A fixed installation structure is provided between the limiting component and the faucet body, thereby rotatably installing the water outlet component on the faucet body.

[0009] The water outlet arm swing structure provided by this utility model has a fixedly installed limiting member on the top of the faucet body. The limiting member presses or abuts against the limiting constriction of the water outlet component by a limiting protrusion, so that the water outlet component can be firmly and rotatably installed on the faucet body. The overall installation structure is ingenious, stable and reliable, and is not easy to fall off during use.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting protrusion is annular, which can more stably restrict the inner end of the limiting constriction of the water outlet component.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed installation structure includes a screw, a mounting ear, and a mounting protrusion. The mounting ear is located at the end of the limiting member away from the mounting cavity, and the mounting ear has a through hole. The mounting protrusion is located in the insertion interface and abuts against the mounting ear. The mounting protrusion has a screw hole aligned with the through hole. The limiting member is locked to the faucet body by a screw passing through the through hole and the screw hole, which is firm and reliable.

[0012] Preferably, there are three sets of screws, mounting ears, and mounting protrusions, which can provide non-firm and uniform limiting force for the limiting member and the water outlet component.

[0013] Preferably, the outer periphery of the connector is provided with an annular groove, and a sealing ring is fitted inside the annular groove. The sealing ring is pressed between the connector and the insertion interface, thereby providing a certain damping for the rotation of the water outlet component, making the rotation of the water outlet component more responsive, and also preventing shaking due to the presence of installation gaps.

[0014] Preferably, the connector has a mating step on its outer periphery corresponding to the limiting constriction, and a wear-resistant pad is provided between the mating step and the end of the connector to prevent wear and damage between the components due to rotation.

[0015] Preferably, the outer periphery of the limiting protrusion is provided with a rotation limiting protrusion, and the mounting cavity is provided with a protrusion near the inner end face of the limiting constriction. The rotation trajectories of the protrusion and the rotation limiting protrusion are intersected, thereby restricting the continuous rotation of the water outlet component and preventing the internal pipes or lines from getting tangled, knotted, or twisted.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting port of the water outlet component is provided with a cover plate, which is installed on the top of the water outlet component by a snap fastener or screws. A water outlet seat is installed inside the mounting cavity. The bottom of the water outlet seat has a water inlet connector coaxial with the communication channel of the limiting member, and the periphery has a water outlet pipe extending to the water outlet arm. The water outlet end of the water outlet pipe extends to the water outlet port of the water outlet arm. The water outlet seat and the cover plate or water outlet component are fixedly assembled by screws or snap fasteners.

[0017] Preferably, to improve ease of use, the top of the water outlet seat is provided with a valve core mounting cavity, and a switch valve is installed thereon. The water outlet pipe and the water inlet connector are connected or disconnected through the switch valve. The cover plate is provided with a clearance hole for the valve stem of the switch valve to protrude, and a knob is installed on the valve stem.

[0018] Preferably, a transparent lamp holder is provided between the knob and the water outlet component. The lamp holder is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem, and its bottom has a light-guiding and wear-resistant ring extending between the bottom of the knob and the top of the cover plate. A circuit board with an indicator light is installed inside the lamp holder. The wires of the circuit board pass through the clearance hole and then sequentially through the water outlet component, the limiting component, and the faucet body. The lamp holder and the water outlet component are fixedly installed relative to each other, and a Hall switch is provided between the lamp holder and the knob. When the knob is turned to the hot water position, the Hall switch collects the hot water status information and controls the indicator light to illuminate through the circuit board.

[0019] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The water outlet arm swing structure provided by this utility model has a fixedly installed limiting member on the top of the faucet body. The limiting member presses or abuts against the limiting constriction of the water outlet component by a limiting protrusion, so that the water outlet component can be firmly and rotatably installed on the faucet body. The overall installation structure is ingenious, stable and reliable, and is not easy to fall off during use.

[0021] The fixed installation structure adopts a screw locking structure, which is firm and reliable;

[0022] A sealing ring is provided on the outer periphery of the connector to provide a certain damping for the rotation of the water outlet component, making the rotation of the water outlet component more tactile and preventing wobbling due to installation gaps.

[0023] The faucet provided by this utility model is equipped with an indicator light to indicate the user's faucet usage status. Attached Figure Description
