Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sanitary ware, and in particular to a faucet installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing faucets present numerous inconveniences during installation, especially when space is limited under the sink. The nuts in the mounting components require a considerable rotation distance to tighten properly. Due to the confined space, operators have limited maneuverability when tightening the nuts, making it difficult to ensure they are fully tightened. This often leads to faucets becoming loose and wobbly after a period of use, and even leaks, severely impacting the user experience.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] This application provides a faucet installation structure that can solve the problem of how to improve the convenience of faucet installation in the prior art.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A faucet mounting structure is provided for connecting a faucet to a pipe on one side of a countertop and fixing the faucet to the countertop, comprising a locking member, an elastic washer, a connector assembly, a base and an anti-loosening washer sequentially sleeved around the pipe along a predetermined installation direction;

[0009] The inner wall of the locking member extends towards the center to form a groove bottom, and the groove bottom extends towards the installation direction to form a groove wall;

[0010] The elastic gasket is ring-shaped and sleeved on the outside of the groove wall, with its bottom in contact with the bottom of the groove;

[0011] The connector assembly includes two threaded connectors that abut against the locking member. The two threaded connectors are disposed opposite to each other on the outer side of the elastic gasket, and their inner sides are combined to form a locking hole for sleeved with the connecting pipe.

[0012] The base is configured to be detachably connected to the locking member, and its inner side is provided with an inwardly inclined surface that is inclined inward in the installation direction. The inwardly inclined surface is configured to contact the threaded joint and guide the two threaded joints to move in opposite directions.

[0013] The anti-loosening pad is located on the top of the base;

[0014] In the initial state, the locking hole formed by the combination of the two threaded joints, constrained by the outer dimension of the elastic gasket, is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe, so that the threaded joints can move along the axial direction of the connecting pipe. When the anti-loosening gasket and the base abut against the table surface, and the locking member pushes the threaded joints along the installation direction until the locking member connects with the base, the two threaded joints are axially confined between the locking member and the base in the connecting pipe, and move along the inner inclined surface in opposite directions to compress the elastic gasket and clamp the connecting pipe.

[0015] In some embodiments, the threaded connector has an inner hole at one end opposite to the installation direction that is adapted to the elastic gasket. The diameter of the inner hole is larger than that of the locking hole, and a support surface is formed between the inner hole and the locking hole. The elastic gasket is located between the inner wall of the inner hole and the groove wall in the radial direction, and between the support surface and the bottom of the groove in the axial direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a buckle facing the locking member, and the inner side of the base is provided with a buckle groove adapted to the buckle. The buckle groove is provided with an opening extending to the end face of the locking member. When the buckle enters the buckle groove from the opening and the locking member rotates to the point where the buckle is misaligned with the opening, the locking member and the base are fixed relative to each other in the installation direction.

[0017] In some embodiments, the base has a bottom surface facing the locking member, and a groove is formed between the bottom surface and the top surface of the buckle. The locking member has an annular protrusion at the top of the buckle groove 1. When the buckle is misaligned with the opening, the annular protrusion is engaged in the groove, thereby fixing the locking member and the base relative to each other in the axial direction of the pipe.

[0018] In some embodiments, the threaded connector is provided with a guide rib on its outer side, and the base is provided with a guide groove that is clearance-fitted with the guide rib. The guide groove is configured to guide the threaded connector to move toward another threaded connector.

[0019] In some embodiments, the inner side of the locking hole is provided with an internal thread, and the outer side of the connecting pipe is provided with an external thread; when the anti-loosening washer and the base abut against the table surface, and the locking member pushes the threaded joint along the installation direction until the locking member is connected to the base, the two threaded joints move in opposite directions along the inner inclined surface until the internal thread and the external thread engage to clamp and fix the outer side of the connecting pipe.

[0020] In some embodiments, the threaded connector has an outer inclined surface that is adapted to and contacts the inner inclined surface.

[0021] In some embodiments, the threaded connector has a limiting surface at one end of the outer inclined surface opposite to the installation direction; when the anti-loosening washer and the base abut against the platform, and the locking member pushes the threaded connector along the installation direction until the locking member is connected to the base, the limiting surface is opposite to and in contact with the end of the base opposite to the installation direction.

[0022] In some embodiments, the spring pad has a hollow structure.

[0023] In some embodiments, the locking member has an anti-slip structure on its outer side, and the anti-slip structure is a textured surface or ribs.

[0024] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the locking member is provided with a pipe hole extending in the axial direction, the pipe hole being configured to install a water inlet hose for a faucet, and a groove for fixing the water inlet hose is provided on the side of the pipe hole facing the middle of the locking member.

[0025] In some embodiments, the pipe hole is provided with at least two slots arranged along the length of the pipe hole and with decreasing diameter on the side facing the middle of the locking member, for fixing water inlet hoses of different sizes.

[0026] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include at least the following:

[0028] In its initial state, the faucet installation structure of this application, constrained by the outer dimensions of the elastic washer, forms a locking hole with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe. This allows the threaded joints to move axially along the connecting pipe, meaning the entire faucet installation structure can move linearly along the installation direction. When the anti-loosening washer and the base abut against the countertop, and the locking element pushes the threaded joints along the installation direction until the locking element connects with the base, the two threaded joints move in opposite directions along their inner bevels to compress the elastic washer and clamp the connecting pipe, preventing it from moving to the other side of the countertop. Combined with the faucet's limiting structure on the other side of the countertop, this prevents the faucet from loosening or wobbling, thus fixing the faucet to the countertop. In other words, the entire installation operation only requires fitting each component around the connecting pipe along the installation direction, then pushing the locking element along the installation direction until the anti-loosening washer and the base abut against the countertop, and the locking element connects with the base. Compared to existing faucet installation methods, this significantly improves the ease of installation in confined spaces.

[0029] It is important to emphasize that the elastic washer limits the distance between the two threaded connectors, ensuring that the diameter of the locking hole is initially larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe. This allows the operator to directly insert the connecting pipe without separating the two threaded connectors during installation. Furthermore, the elastic washer is elastically compressed by the threaded connectors during the fixing process, preventing interference with the connectors' clamping of the connecting pipe. In other words, the elastic washer ensures that the locking hole diameter is initially larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe without manual intervention, without affecting the normal movement of the threaded connectors, thus improving installation convenience.

Detailed Implementation

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] The nuts in existing faucet mounting components require a considerable amount of rotation to tighten properly. Due to the limited space under the countertop, operators have difficulty maneuvering when tightening the nuts, making it difficult to ensure they are fully tightened. This often leads to faucets becoming loose and wobbly after a period of use, and even leaks, severely impacting the user experience.

[0049] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a faucet installation structure. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 6 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the faucet installation structure in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of region A in the middle. Figure 3 This is a first exploded view of the faucet mounting structure in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a second exploded view of the faucet mounting structure in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the faucet installation structure in its initial state in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the faucet installation structure in the embodiments of this application when it is fully installed.

[0050] A faucet mounting structure is provided for connecting a faucet to a connecting pipe 6 on one side of a countertop and fixing the faucet to the countertop 7. The structure includes a locking member 1, an elastic washer 2, a threaded connector 3, a base 4, and an anti-loosening washer 5, which are sequentially fitted around the connecting pipe 6 along a predetermined installation direction. The installation direction is determined by the direction of the faucet connecting pipe 6; in this embodiment, a vertically installed connecting pipe 6 is used as an example, with the installation direction being vertically upward.

[0051] The locking member 1 is used to install the elastic gasket 2 and support the joint assembly. Its inner wall extends towards the center to form a groove bottom 11, and the groove bottom 11 extends towards the installation direction to form a groove wall 12.

[0052] The elastic pad 2 is ring-shaped and sleeved on the outside of the groove wall 12 of the locking member 1. It is limited by the groove wall 12 so that it cannot deform or move towards the center. The bottom of the elastic pad 2 contacts the groove bottom 11 of the locking member 1, thereby using the groove bottom 11 as support.

[0053] Two threaded connectors 3 that abut against the locking member 1 form a connector assembly. The two threaded connectors 3 are positioned opposite each other on the outside of the elastic gasket 2, and their inner sides are combined to form a locking hole 30 for mounting the tube 6. When the threaded connectors 3 are installed, they lock the tube 6 through the locking hole 30.

[0054] The base 4 is configured to be detachably connected to the locking member 1, and its inner side is provided with an inner inclined surface 41 that slopes inward along the installation direction. The inner inclined surface 41 is configured to contact the threaded joints 3 and guide the two threaded joints 3 to move in opposite directions. That is, when the locking member 1 pushes the threaded joints 3 towards the base 4, the threaded joints 3 will move towards the center under the guidance of the inner inclined surface 41, thereby reducing the diameter of the locking hole 30 until the locking tube 6 is locked.

[0055] The anti-loosening pad 5 is located on the top of the base 4 and has a certain elastic deformation capability to ensure close contact with the tabletop 7.

[0056] In the initial state, i.e., before installation, the locking hole 30 formed by the two threaded connectors 3, constrained by the outer dimensions of the elastic gasket 2, has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 6. This allows the threaded connectors 3 to move axially along the connecting pipe 6, thus smoothly fitting onto it. When the anti-loosening gasket 5 and the base 4 abut against the table surface 7, and the locking member 1 pushes the threaded connectors 3 along the installation direction until the locking member 1 connects with the base 4, the two threaded connectors 3 are axially confined between the locking member 1 and the base 4 in the connecting pipe 6, and move in opposite directions along the inner inclined surface 41 to compress the elastic gasket 2 and clamp the connecting pipe 6. Clamping the connecting pipe 6 means that the threaded connectors 3 and the connecting pipe 6 are relatively fixed, thereby fixing the faucet mounting structure relative to the connecting pipe 6.

[0057] In some implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the threaded connector 3 has an inner hole 31 at the end opposite to the installation direction, which is adapted to the elastic gasket 2. The diameter of the inner hole 31 is larger than that of the locking hole 30, and a support surface 32 is formed between the inner hole 31 and the locking hole 30. The elastic gasket 2 is located between the inner wall of the inner hole 31 and the groove wall 12 in the radial direction, and between the support surface 32 and the groove bottom 11 in the axial direction. This arrangement enables stable installation and deformation of the elastic gasket 2.

[0058] In some implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 4 has a buckle 42 facing the locking member 1. The inner side of the base 4 has a buckle groove 16 that matches the buckle 42. The buckle groove 16 has an opening 17 extending to the end face of the locking member 1. When the buckle 42 enters the buckle groove 16 from the opening 17, and the locking member 1 rotates until the buckle 42 is misaligned with the opening 17, the locking member 1 and the base 4 are relatively fixed in the installation direction. During installation, the buckle 42 first enters the buckle groove 16 from the opening 17. After reaching a predetermined depth, as the locking member 1 rotates, the buckle 42 moves to a position misaligned with the opening 17, thereby achieving relative fixation of the locking member 1 and the base 4 in the axial direction of the connecting pipe 6. During disassembly, simply rotate the locking member 1 in the opposite direction and then pull it down. It can be seen that it has the advantage of convenient assembly and disassembly.

[0059] Furthermore, the base 4 has a bottom surface facing the locking member 1, and a groove 44 is formed between the bottom surface and the top surface of the buckle. The locking member 4 has an annular protrusion 18 at the top of the buckle groove 16. The buckle 42 first enters the buckle groove 16 from the opening 17. After reaching a predetermined depth, as the locking member 1 rotates, the buckle 42 will move to a position that is misaligned with the opening 17. At the same time, the annular protrusion 18 is engaged in the groove 44, thereby achieving relative fixation between the locking member 1 and the base 4 in the axial direction of the pipe 6.

[0060] In some embodiments, to ensure that the threaded connector 3 grips the connecting pipe 6 in a predetermined straight direction, the outer side of the threaded connector 3 is provided with guide ribs 35, and the base 4 is provided with guide grooves 43 that are clearance-fitted with the guide ribs 35. The guide grooves 43 are configured to guide the threaded connector 3 to move toward another threaded connector 3. The number of guide ribs 35 can be set as needed. For example, two guide ribs 35 are provided and are parallel to each other.

[0061] In some embodiments where the threaded connector 3 clamps the connecting pipe 6, the inner side of the locking hole 30 is provided with an internal thread 36, and the outer side of the connecting pipe 6 is provided with an external thread 61. When the anti-loosening washer 5 and the base 4 abut against the table surface 7, and the locking member 1 pushes the threaded connector 3 along the installation direction until the locking member 1 connects with the base 4, the two threaded connectors 3 move in opposite directions along the inner inclined surface 41 until the internal thread 36 engages with the external thread 61 to clamp and fix them on the outer side of the connecting pipe 6. Because the elastic washer 2 has a certain elastic adjustment capability in all directions (up, down, left, right), the internal thread 36 of the threaded connector 3 and the external thread 61 of the connecting pipe 6 will automatically align, avoiding the situation where the threads cannot match due to the lack of elasticity in traditional movable threaded engagement.

[0062] In some embodiments, the elastic gasket 2 has a hollow structure 21. The hollow structure 21 not only reduces the weight of the elastic gasket 2, but also improves its elasticity and durability, enabling the elastic gasket 2 to better perform its functions of limiting and elastic adjustment during installation.

[0063] In some embodiments, in order to improve the smoothness and stability of the movement of the threaded joint 3, the outer side of the threaded joint 3 is provided with an outer inclined surface 33 that is adapted to and contacts the inner inclined surface 41. The outer inclined surface 33 enables the threaded joint 3 to move more stably during installation and to better cooperate with the locking structure to achieve a fastening effect.

[0064] In some embodiments, to improve the stability of the clamped state, the threaded connector 3 has a limiting surface 34 at the end of its outer inclined surface 33 facing away from the installation direction. When the anti-loosening washer 5 and the base 4 abut against the platform 7, and the locking member 1 pushes the threaded connector 3 along the installation direction until the locking member 1 connects with the base 4, the limiting surface 34 is opposite to and in contact with the end of the base 4 facing away from the installation direction, such as contacting the bottom end of the outer inclined surface 33. That is to say, the limiting surface 34 will be opposite to and in contact with the end of the base 4 facing away from the installation direction, thereby limiting further movement of the threaded connector 3 and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the installation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the locking member 1 has an anti-slip structure 14 on its outer side, which is a textured surface or ribs. The anti-slip structure 14 makes it easier for the user to grip the locking member 1 when installing or removing it, preventing installation failure or damage due to slippage.

[0066] In some embodiments, to address the problem of interference between the pull-out hose of an existing faucet and the inlet hose 15 during operation, the inner wall of the locking member 1 is provided with an axially extending pipe hole 13. The pipe hole 13 is configured to mount the faucet's inlet hose 15. At least two slots 131, arranged along the length of the pipe hole 13 and decreasing in diameter, are provided on the side of the pipe hole 13 facing the center of the locking member 1, for securing inlet hoses 15 of different sizes. This design prevents the pull-out hose from being jammed by the inlet hose 15 located in the center during movement, thereby improving the smoothness of use.

[0067] In its initial state, the faucet mounting structure, constrained by the outer dimensions of the elastic washer 2, forms a locking hole 30 with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 6. This allows the threaded joints 3 to be in an open state, enabling them to move laterally and axially along the connecting pipe 6. In other words, the entire faucet mounting structure can move linearly along the installation direction, saving time spent fitting it onto the connecting pipe 6 and moving it to the installation position. After passing through the connecting pipe 6, the faucet mounting structure pushes upwards against the bottom of the countertop 7. When the anti-loosening washer 5 and the base 4 abut against the countertop 7, the latch 42 of the base 4 enters the latch groove 16 of the locking element 1 from the opening 17. The locking element 1 then pushes the threaded joints 3 along the installation direction, causing the two threaded joints 3 to move in opposite directions along the inner inclined surface 41. During this process, the guide rib 35 and the guide groove 43 act as guides. Finally, the threaded connector 3 compresses the elastic washer 2 and clamps the connecting pipe 6. Then, the locking component 1 is rotated to misalign the buckle 42 and the opening 17 and fix them with the buckle groove 16, preventing the connecting pipe 6 from moving to the other side of the countertop 7. Combined with the limiting structure of the faucet on the other side of the countertop 7, the faucet is fixed to the countertop 7. In other words, the entire installation operation only requires placing each component around the connecting pipe 6 in the installation direction, and then pushing the locking component 1 in the installation direction until the anti-loosening washer 5 and the base 4 abut against the countertop 7, and the locking component 1 is connected to the base 4. Compared with the existing faucet installation method, this improves the convenience of installing the faucet in confined spaces.

[0068] It is important to emphasize that the elastic washer 2 limits the distance between the two threaded connectors 3, ensuring that the diameter of the locking hole 30 is initially larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 6. This allows the operator to directly insert the connecting pipe 6 without separating the two threaded connectors 3 before fitting them onto the pipe 6. Simultaneously, the elastic washer 2 is elastically compressed by the threaded connectors 3 during the fixing of the faucet, thus not interfering with the clamping of the connecting pipe 6 by the threaded connectors 3. In other words, the elastic washer 2 can ensure that the diameter of the locking hole 30 is initially larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 6 without manual intervention, without affecting the normal movement of the threaded connectors 3, thereby improving the ease of installation.

[0069] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
