Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen faucet technology, and in particular to a foldable and retractable kitchen faucet. Background Technology

[0002] In modern home life, the kitchen, as an important functional area of ​​the family, is receiving increasing attention for its space utilization efficiency and ease of use. With the popularization of small apartments and the trend of multifunctional kitchens, kitchen spaces are becoming increasingly compact, placing higher demands on the storage capacity and spatial adaptability of kitchen utensils.

[0003] Currently, most kitchen faucets on the market are fixed in place, with their main structure and water outlet components in relatively fixed positions. When not in use, the protruding faucet occupies a certain amount of kitchen workspace, especially when large cookware or tableware are placed on the kitchen countertop for washing or food preparation. A fixed faucet can easily obstruct the operation and affect the smoothness of the process. When deep cleaning of the kitchen countertop or sink is required, or when storing larger kitchen utensils, a fixed faucet will further restrict the workspace, making cleaning and storage difficult to carry out smoothly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a foldable and retractable kitchen faucet, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a foldable and retractable kitchen faucet, including a storage box. A water pipe threaded connector is fixedly connected to the middle of one edge of the outer wall of the storage box. One end of the water pipe threaded connector penetrates into the inner wall of the storage box and is fixedly connected to a first rotating connector. A right-angle elbow is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating connector. A second rotating connector is fixedly connected to the output end of the right-angle elbow. A faucet is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating connector. Both ends of the right-angle elbow are rotatably connected and communicate with the water pipe threaded connector and the faucet respectively through the first rotating connector and the second rotating connector. A driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the faucet near the second rotating connector. A plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box near the driven bevel gear. A bevel gear ring is fixedly connected to one end of the plurality of connecting rods. The bevel gear ring meshes with the driven bevel gear. The bevel gear ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the right-angle elbow. The bevel gear ring and the right-angle elbow are concentrically arranged.

[0006] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a driven worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the right-angle elbow near the first rotating joint, and a driving worm is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box on the side corresponding to the driven worm gear, with the middle part of the driving worm gear meshing with the driven worm gear.

[0007] The technical effect achieved by the above solution is that the right-angle elbow can rotate along the axis of the water pipe threaded joint, thereby driving the faucet to rotate to one side. When it rotates to one side, it can drive the driven bevel gear and bevel gear ring to drive the faucet to rotate along the axis of the pipe threaded joint while making it rotate on its own axis.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a fixing lug is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box, one end of the drive worm gear is rotatably connected to the fixing lug, a reduction motor is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing lug, and the output end of the reduction motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive worm gear.

[0009] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the stability of the drive worm gear rotation can be improved by supporting and fixing it with the fixed lug.

[0010] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the length of the inner wall of the storage box is greater than the length of the faucet, and the distance from the faucet output end to its main body is less than the distance from the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box to the water pipe threaded joint.

[0011] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the faucet can be completely stored inside the storage box after folding.

[0012] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, when the faucet is upright, its output end extends outside the storage box, and a sealing cover is rotatably connected to one edge of the storage box. The sealing cover is adapted to the size of the opening at the top of the storage box, and after the sealing cover covers the opening at the top of the storage box, its top surface coincides with the top surface of the storage box.

[0013] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the faucet output can output water to the outside of the storage box, making it convenient to collect water and preventing water from entering the inside of the storage box. The sealing cover can completely cover the top opening of the storage box, ensuring that the countertop is flat after storage.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This foldable kitchen faucet connects to a water pipe threaded connector and a right-angle elbow via a first rotating connector and a second rotating connector, respectively. This allows the faucet to rotate along its axis, ensuring the faucet's output end is fully aligned with the storage box. It can also rotate to one side, allowing the faucet to be folded into the storage box and sealed with a lid. This keeps the countertop flat, facilitating cleaning, saving countertop space, and simplifying operation.

[0016] 2. This foldable kitchen faucet drives a worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives a driven worm wheel to rotate. This causes the right-angle elbow to rotate along the axis of the pipe thread connector, which in turn drives the faucet to rotate to one side. When it rotates to one side, it drives the driven bevel gear and bevel gear ring to rotate the faucet along the axis of the pipe thread connector while simultaneously causing it to rotate on its own axis. This achieves dual-angle linkage folding and storage, improving automation and storage efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a foldable kitchen faucet includes a storage box 1. A water pipe threaded connector 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of one edge of the outer wall of the storage box 1. One end of the water pipe threaded connector 3 penetrates the inner wall of the storage box 1 and is fixedly connected to a first rotating connector 12. A right-angle elbow 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating connector 12. A second rotating connector 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the right-angle elbow 10. A faucet 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating connector 14. The two ends of the right-angle elbow 10 are connected to the first rotating connector 14. The connector 12 and the second rotary connector 14 are rotatably connected to the water pipe threaded connector 3 and the faucet 4, respectively. A driven bevel gear 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the faucet 4 near the second rotary connector 14. Several connecting rods 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1 near the driven bevel gear 5. One end of the several connecting rods 7 is fixedly connected to a bevel ring 6. The bevel ring 6 meshes with the driven bevel gear 5. The bevel ring 6 is fitted onto the outer wall of the right-angle elbow 10. The bevel ring 6 and the right-angle elbow 10 are concentrically arranged.

[0023] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a driven worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the right-angle elbow 10 near the first rotating joint 12. A driving worm 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 1 on the side corresponding to the driven worm gear 13. The middle part of the driving worm 9 is meshed with the driven worm gear 13. By rotating the driven worm gear 13, the right-angle elbow 10 rotates along the axis of the water pipe threaded joint 3, thereby driving the faucet 4 to rotate to one side. When it rotates to one side, it can drive the driven bevel gear 5 and the bevel gear ring 6 to cooperate in driving the faucet 4 to rotate along the axis of the pipe threaded joint 3 and simultaneously make it rotate on its own.

[0024] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a fixed ear 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the storage box 1, one end of the drive worm 9 is rotatably connected to the fixed ear 8, and a reduction motor 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ear 8. The output end of the reduction motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive worm 9. By supporting and fixing with the fixed ear 8, the stability of the rotation of the drive worm 9 can be improved.

[0025] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the length of the inner wall of the storage box 1 is greater than the length of the faucet 4, and the distance from the output end of the faucet 4 to its main body is less than the distance from the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box 1 to the water pipe threaded connector 3, so that the faucet 4 can be completely stored in the inner wall of the storage box 1 after folding.

[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, when the faucet 4 is upright, its output end extends out of the storage box 1. A sealing cover 2 is rotatably connected to one side edge of the storage box 1. The sealing cover 2 is adapted to the size of the top opening of the storage box 1. After the sealing cover 2 covers the top opening of the storage box 1, its top surface coincides with the top surface of the storage box 1, so that the output end of the faucet 4 can output water to the outside of the storage box 1, which is convenient for water to be collected and prevents water from entering the interior of the storage box 1. The sealing cover 2 can completely cover the top opening of the storage box 1 to ensure the flatness of the countertop after storage.

[0027] This foldable kitchen faucet requires the following steps to use:

[0028] 1) By driving the worm gear 9 to rotate, the driven worm wheel 13 is driven to rotate, so that the right-angle elbow 10 rotates along the axis of the water pipe threaded joint 3;

[0029] 2) This causes the faucet 4 to rotate to one side. When it rotates to one side, it can drive the driven bevel gear 5 and the bevel gear ring 6 to rotate the faucet 4 along the axis of the pipe thread joint 3 and make it rotate on its own.

[0030] 3) This allows the faucet 4 to rotate along its axis of rotation, so that the output end of the faucet 4 can be fully aligned with the storage box 1. At the same time, it can rotate to one side, so that the faucet 4 can be rotated and stored inside the storage box 1, thereby allowing the sealing cover 2 to be closed.

[0031] In summary, by connecting the water pipe threaded connector 3 and the right-angle elbow 10, and the right-angle elbow 10 and the faucet 4, respectively, through the first rotating joint 12 and the second rotating joint 14, the faucet 4 can rotate along its axis of rotation, ensuring that the output end of the faucet 4 is fully aligned with the storage box 1. Simultaneously, it can rotate to one side, allowing the faucet 4 to be folded into the storage box 1, thus allowing the sealing cover 2 to be closed, keeping the countertop flat for easy cleaning, saving countertop space, and facilitating operation. The drive worm 9 rotates, causing the driven worm gear 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the right-angle elbow 10 to rotate along the axis of the water pipe threaded connector 3, thereby causing the faucet 4 to rotate to one side. This rotation to one side drives the driven bevel gear 5 and the bevel gear ring 6 to cooperate in driving the faucet 4 to rotate along the axis of the pipe threaded connector 3 while simultaneously causing it to rotate on its own axis. This achieves dual-angle linkage folding and storage, improving automation and storage efficiency.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
