Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a foldable rotating faucet. Background Technology
[0002] A foldable rotating faucet is a type of faucet that combines folding for storage with multi-angle rotation. It achieves three-dimensional adjustment through a folding arm and a dual-axis rotation system, saving space and offering flexible use. It typically features multiple water flow modes, and some models also integrate intelligent control, filtration, and other additional functions, making them widely applicable in residential and commercial settings.
[0003] To facilitate use, existing foldable rotating faucets mostly use telescopic hoses, which can extend the spout to expand the faucet's range of use. However, after the existing telescopic hoses are extended, users need to manually push them back in. The hoses are prone to tangling and knotting. Furthermore, after long-term folding or stretching and being stacked haphazardly, the hoses are prone to aging and cracking due to excessive bending, reducing their lifespan. At the same time, existing faucets mostly rely on water meters for counting, which is inconvenient to check. Users cannot know the actual water consumption, which is not conducive to developing water-saving habits and makes it impossible to control the water volume according to needs in scenarios such as cleaning and watering.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a foldable rotating faucet to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The limiting wheel is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the inner ratchet is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the limiting wheel. Two support grooves are opened on the outer side of the limiting wheel, and ratchet teeth are hinged to the inner side of each of the two support grooves.

[0027] In this embodiment, a Hall sensor 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the flow pipe 3, and multiple magnets 12 are adapted to the same Hall sensor 13 to facilitate flow recording.
[0028] In this embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a limiting wheel 19, an inner ratchet 20, two ratchet teeth 21, and two support springs 22. The limiting wheel 19 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 17. The inner ratchet 20 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the limiting wheel 19. Two support grooves are opened on the outer side of the limiting wheel 19. The ratchet teeth 21 are hingedly installed on the inner side of the two support grooves. The support springs 22 are fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the two support grooves. The other end of the two support springs 22 is fixedly connected to the corresponding ratchet teeth 21. The two ratchet teeth 21 are adapted to the tooth grooves of the inner ratchet 20.
[0029] In this embodiment, a take-up post 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner ratchet 20, and a take-up head 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the take-up post 15. A telescopic water pipe 14 is wound around the outside of the take-up post 15. The telescopic water pipe 14 is fixedly inserted through the take-up post 15, and one end of the telescopic water pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the connector 9, so that the telescopic water pipe 14 can be pulled through the connector 9.
[0030] In this embodiment, a motor slot is provided inside the faucet base 1, and a servo motor 18 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the motor slot. The output shaft of the servo motor 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 17, so that the servo motor 18 can drive the rotating shaft 17 to rotate.
[0031] Working Principle: During use, the flowing water impacts the flow impeller 11, causing it to rotate. This rotation drives multiple magnets 12 mounted on the impeller to rotate around the flow shaft 10. The movement of these magnets causes a change in the magnetic field, which is captured by the Hall sensor 13. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, this change in the magnetic field generates a pulse signal in the Hall sensor 13. The frequency of this pulse signal is proportional to the rotational speed of the flow impeller 11. By counting and processing these pulse signals, the rotational speed of the impeller 11 and the flow rate can be determined. The water consumption can then be clearly displayed on the Hall sensor 13's screen, promoting water conservation habits. Furthermore, changes in flow rate can be used to detect malfunctions such as blocked pipes or leaking faucets, facilitating timely problem identification and resolution. When the user removes the water outlet 4, the connection... The head 9 pulls the telescopic water hose 14 to extend it. At the same time, the telescopic water hose 14 drives the take-up column 15 to rotate through the take-up head 16. The rotation of the take-up column 15 drives the inner ratchet 20 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the direction of the tooth groove of the inner ratchet 20 is the same as the direction of the ratchet 21. Therefore, there will be no movement interference. The user can easily pull out the telescopic water hose 14. After use, the user starts the servo motor 18. The servo motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the limit wheel 19 to rotate counterclockwise. The direction of rotation of the limit wheel 19 is opposite to the direction of rotation when the telescopic water hose 14 pulls the inner ratchet 20 to rotate. The rotation of the limit wheel 19 drives the two ratchet 21 to move around the rotating shaft 17 as the center. The direction of the tooth groove of the ratchet 21 is locked with that of the inner ratchet 20, forcing the inner ratchet 20 to reverse, thereby winding up the telescopic water hose 14. This controls the telescopic water hose 14 to retract and rewind, increasing the practicality of the equipment.
[0032] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: it can control the retractable water pipe 14 to retract and rewind, preventing the water pipe 14 from tangling and knotting, and also avoiding the aging and cracking of the water pipe 14 due to excessive bending, thus extending the service life of the water pipe 14. The Hall sensor 13 can clearly show the water consumption, which is conducive to the development of water-saving habits. Furthermore, it can determine whether the water pipe is blocked or the faucet is leaking by detecting changes in flow rate, making it easier to detect and solve problems in a timely manner.
