Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tap connector technology, specifically to a novel riveted water tap connector and its connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional faucets are mostly connected using welding. Welding, as a widely used metal joining technology, has strong connection strength and good sealing performance, and is therefore widely used in faucet manufacturing.

[0003] However, welding requires a high level of skill from operators. Improper operation can easily lead to quality problems such as incomplete welds, causing air leaks during use and affecting the safety and sealing performance of the faucet. Furthermore, welding slag is inevitably generated during the welding process. Slag residue inside the faucet may cause abnormal noises during use, affecting normal operation. Therefore, a new connection method is needed to address the technical deficiencies of welded faucets in terms of sealing and connection. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of riveted faucet connector. The riveting process not only simplifies the installation process and reduces the dependence on operating skills, but also improves the user experience and connection stability of the faucet connector.

[0005] Technical solution: This utility model discloses a novel riveted faucet connector, comprising:

[0006] The connector body has an axially through hole;

[0007] A flange, the flange being disposed around one end of the water nozzle;

[0008] The riveting part extends axially from one end of the joint body with the flange, and has a riveting hole communicating with the through hole. The riveting part is riveted to the plate, thereby fixing the joint body to the plate.

[0009] The end of the connector body facing away from the flange has a backstop ring wrapped around the outer wall of the connector body.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove surrounding the riveting part is formed on the end face of the flange facing the riveting part.

[0011] Furthermore, the groove has several torsion ribs, so that there is an independent groove unit between any two adjacent torsion ribs.

[0012] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the riveted part is less than the wall thickness of the joint body.

[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the riveting hole is larger than the diameter of the through hole.

[0014] This utility model also provides a novel riveted faucet connector connection structure, including:

[0015] A water tap connector, comprising a connector body having an axially penetrating through hole; a flange, the flange being wound around one end of the water tap; and a riveting part, the connector body extending axially from the end having the flange to form the riveting part, the riveting part having a riveting hole communicating with the through hole;

[0016] Plate used for riveting and fixing the riveting part of the water tap connector;

[0017] A rubber hose, which is sleeved on the connector body.

[0018] Furthermore, the end of the connector body opposite to the flange has a backstop ring wrapped around the outer wall of the connector body, and the backstop ring abuts against the rubber hose.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a clamp, which is snapped onto the outside of the rubber hose.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] (1) This utility model uses a riveting method to connect the water tap connector to the plate, which is compact in structure, avoids the problem of false welding caused by poor welding, reduces the risk of air leakage, and improves the sealing performance of the product.

[0022] (2) The flange end is provided with a groove around the riveting part to accommodate the plate that is deformed by riveting, and several torsion ribs are arranged in the groove so that the water tap joint can effectively resist the torsion force after riveting, thereby improving the overall connection strength.

[0023] (3) The other end of the connector body is provided with a backstop ring, which effectively restricts the axial sliding of the rubber hose used to be sleeved on the connector body, further ensuring the stability of the water tap connector connection during use;

[0024] (4) The wall thickness of the riveted part is less than that of the main body, which facilitates deformation and riveting while ensuring that the main structure has sufficient strength, taking into account both processing formability and service strength. Attached Figure Description

The implementation methods of this utility model will now be described based on its overall structure.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel riveted faucet connector, comprising:

[0034] The connector body 1 has an axially through hole 11;

[0035] Flange 2, the flange 2 being disposed around one end of the water nozzle;

[0036] The riveting part 3 extends axially from one end of the joint body 1 that has the flange 2. The riveting part 3 has a riveting hole 31 that communicates with the through hole 11. The riveting part 3 is riveted to the plate 4, thereby fixing the joint body 1 to the plate 4.

[0037] With the above structure, the connector body is hollow, with an axially penetrating through hole 11 inside for liquid flow. A flange 2 surrounds the outer side of the end of the connector body 1, serving to limit and reinforce fixation. The flange 2 ensures a more stable contact between the water nozzle and the plate 4 during installation, preventing loosening. At the end with the flange 2, the connector body 1 extends axially to form a riveted section 3, which is also hollow. Its internal riveting hole 31 communicates with the through hole 11, thus maintaining the integrity of the fluid passage. The riveted section 3 can pass through the plate 4 to be installed. After passing through the plate 4, the edge of the riveted section 3 is bent and riveted to the plate 4 using a riveting process, forming a firm connection between the water nozzle connector and the plate 4. After riveting, the flange 2 fits against the end face of the plate 4, while the riveted deformed portion is riveted to the other end face of the plate 4, achieving double-sided clamping and fixation.

[0038] The plate 4 is clamped by the riveting part 3 and the flange 2, and the liquid flows by relying on the hollow structure of the joint body. While taking into account the sealing and connection stability, it is also easier to install.

[0039] In this embodiment, a groove 21 is provided on the end face of the flange 2 facing the riveting part 3, forming an annular recess around the riveting part 3. The groove 21 allows a portion of the edge of the plate 4 to be partially embedded in the groove 21 during the riveting process between the water tap connector and the plate 4, thereby forming a limiting structure between the end face of the flange 2 and the contact surface of the plate 4. This not only increases the contact area between the flange 2 and the plate 4 but also improves the stability of the connection. Furthermore, the deformation of the plate 4 into the groove 21 can more effectively resist mechanical vibration, preventing loosening of the connection or failure of the seal due to vibration during use.

[0040] Preferably, a plurality of torsion ribs 22 are also provided inside the groove 21. The torsion ribs 22 are distributed along the circumference of the groove 21, thereby forming an independent groove unit 23 between any two adjacent torsion ribs 22. The arrangement of the torsion ribs 22 divides the groove 21 into multiple separated groove units 23. The torsion ribs 22 abut against the deformed plate 4, providing additional anti-rotation resistance during the riveting installation of the faucet connector, preventing the faucet connector from rotating under stress or vibration. In addition, each independent groove unit 23 helps to absorb the local deformation stress generated by the plate 4 during the riveting process, improving the reliability of the riveting connection.

[0041] In this embodiment, a backstop ring 12 is provided at the end of the connector body 1 away from the flange 2, and the backstop ring 12 is wrapped around the outer wall surface of the connector body 1. After the water tap connector and the plate 4 are riveted together, the rubber hose 5 can be sleeved on the outside of the connector body 1. The backstop ring 12 protrudes radially relative to the outer wall surface of the connector body 1, so that it can abut against the inner wall of the rubber hose 5, preventing the rubber hose 5 from axially displacing or separating from the connector body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the riveting part 3 is less than that of the joint body 1. The riveting part 3, used to form a riveting connection with the plate 4, primarily functions to firmly fix the joint body 1 to the plate 4 through deformation. The riveting part 3 has a thinner wall than the joint body 1, thus possessing superior plastic deformation capacity, making it easier to undergo local bending deformation during riveting, thereby achieving rapid and secure riveting. Simultaneously, the thinner wall reduces the deformation force required for riveting, improving installation efficiency and reducing processing energy consumption. In contrast, the joint body 1 has a larger wall thickness, the purpose of which is to improve the overall strength and rigidity of the faucet joint, ensuring that the faucet joint can resist external mechanical stress during use and avoid deformation or cracking.

[0043] In this embodiment, the diameter of the riveting hole 31 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 11. The through hole 11 is the main flow channel that runs through the entire joint body 1, while the riveting hole 31 is located in the riveting part 3 and is a continuation of the through hole 11 at the riveting end. Its diameter is relatively larger, so as to meet the needs of deformation of the riveting part 3 in the riveting process. The larger riveting hole 31 can reserve more deformation space for the edge of the riveting part 3 without affecting the flow rate of the through hole 11, so that it is not easy to break or wrinkle when deformed under stress, thus improving the forming quality and stability of the riveting. In addition, the riveting hole 31 also helps with drainage. The fluid flows from the small-diameter through hole 11 into the large-diameter riveting hole 31, which can reduce the flow resistance and thus form a more stable flow state.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model also discloses a novel riveted faucet connector connection structure, comprising:

[0045] A water tap connector, comprising a connector body 1 having an axially penetrating through hole 11; a flange 2, the flange 2 being wrapped around one end of the water tap; and a riveting part 3, the riveting part 3 extending axially from the end of the connector body 1 having the flange 2, the riveting part 3 having a riveting hole 31 communicating with the through hole 11.

[0046] Plate 4 for riveting and fixing the riveting part 3 of the water tap connector;

[0047] Rubber hose 5, which is sleeved on the connector body 1.

[0048] Plate 4 serves as the mounting base, with mounting holes for the riveting part 3 to pass through and bevel for riveting. After riveting, flange 2 is pressed against one end face of plate 4, and the riveting part 3 rivets on the other end face of plate 4, thus forming a structural lock and achieving a secure installation of the joint on plate 4. The connection structure described in this utility model avoids the limitations of traditional connections such as welding and threading on materials or space, and features fast installation and stable reliability.

[0049] The rubber hose 5 is fitted onto the outer wall of the connector body 1, forming a detachable connection. The rubber hose 5 serves as the main channel for liquid flow, and its elastic structure not only facilitates assembly with the connector body 1 but also absorbs the impact of liquid flow to a certain extent.

[0050] Preferably, the hose and the connector body 1 can be further secured by clamps 6. The clamps 6 are attached to the outside of the rubber hose 5 to further enhance the sealing and securing effect between the hose and the connector body 1. Although the rubber hose 5 has a certain elastic contraction capacity and can fit tightly against the outer wall of the connector body 1, in actual use, due to the effect of liquid pressure, the hose's own covering force may be insufficient to maintain a stable connection. In this case, the mechanical tightening action of its outer ring clamp can firmly press the rubber hose 5 against the outer wall of the connector body 1, thereby effectively preventing the rubber hose 5 from loosening or axially sliding.

[0051] Preferably, the end of the connector body 1 facing away from the flange 2 is provided with a retaining ring 12 wrapped around its outer wall, and this retaining ring 12 abuts against the rubber hose 5, further enhancing the connection stability and anti-displacement performance between the rubber hose 5 and the connector. The retaining ring 12 is located at the end of the connector body 1 near the installation end of the rubber hose 5, forming a radially protruding limiting ring on the outer wall surface of the connector body 1. When the rubber hose 5 is fitted onto the connector body 1, the retaining ring 12 provides a limiting point to prevent the rubber hose 5 from axially slipping off, preventing the rubber hose 5 from falling off during use. The retaining ring 12 and the rubber hose 5 are in close contact, and together with the tightening effect of the clamp 6, they form a limiting structure to jointly prevent the rubber hose 5 from falling off.

[0052] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
