Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of faucet technology, specifically low-cost faucets. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and thus saves water.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN219300025U) discloses a low-cost faucet, including a basin faucet body. Inside the basin faucet body, a valve core seat, an upper sealing valve core, and a pressure cap are sequentially arranged. A decorative cover is installed on the pressure cap. The upper sealing valve core is installed on the valve core seat. The upper end of the upper sealing valve core passes through the pressure cap and the decorative cover and is connected to a basin handle. A basin base is provided at the bottom of the basin faucet body. A water outlet is provided on the basin faucet body, with a water diversion hole at the center of the water outlet. An aerator is installed at the end of the water outlet. This utility model reduces the weight of the basin faucet body by providing a water diversion hole in the water outlet, thereby reducing the use of metal materials, lowering manufacturing costs, and allowing the size of the water diversion hole to be adjusted according to the water flow requirements to meet user needs.

[0004] The aforementioned faucet reduces the weight of the faucet body by providing a water diversion hole on the water outlet, thereby reducing the amount of metal material used and lowering manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the size of the water diversion hole can be adjusted according to water flow requirements, meeting user needs and resulting in lower production costs. However, this faucet has limited functionality; it cannot filter water, and the distance between the water outlet and the object being rinsed cannot be adjusted during use, making it less convenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a low-cost faucet that has the advantages of low production cost and high functionality, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a low-cost faucet, including a connecting pipe, a water pipe fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top end of the connecting pipe, a flushing pipe fixedly connected to the middle of the outer surface of the connecting pipe, a flexible hose fixedly connected to the other end of the flushing pipe, and a nozzle fixedly connected to the other end of the flexible hose.

[0007] The bottom end of the connecting pipe is provided with a filter tank, and a filter element is slidably inserted into the filter tank. A pressure rod is fixedly connected inside the filter element.

[0008] The above solution, by separating the flushing pipe and the water flow pipe, not only simplifies the faucet's structure and reduces production difficulty and cost, but also maintains functionality similar to common pull-out faucets. This allows the faucet to maintain low cost while also possessing high practicality and convenience. The filter tank and filter cartridge design allows users to choose whether to filter the water source according to their needs. When filtration is required, it can be achieved by pushing the filter cartridge to the connecting pipe; when filtration is not required, the filter cartridge can be located at the right end of the filter tank, leaving the connecting pipe open. This design not only extends the lifespan of the filter cartridge and reduces the frequency of replacement, but also further reduces operating costs. The connecting pipe and water flow pipe are made of ABS transparent plastic, which not only reduces production costs but also allows users to clearly observe the water flow and the color of the water inside, helping users to promptly detect problems in the water source, such as impurities and pollution, thereby ensuring the safety and hygiene of the water supply.

[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting pipe.

[0010] The above solution, with the bracket, makes it easy for users to place the hose, thereby achieving the purpose of storing the nozzle.

[0011] Furthermore, both the connecting pipe and the water pipe are made of ABS transparent plastic.

[0012] The above solution not only reduces production costs but also allows users to clearly observe the water flow and the color of the internal water source.

[0013] Furthermore, a first valve is installed at the middle end of the water pipe.

[0014] With the above solution, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the water pipe by setting the first valve, thereby adjusting the flow of water and achieving water saving effect.

[0015] Furthermore, a second valve is installed at the middle end of the flushing pipe.

[0016] With the above solution and the addition of a second valve, users can independently control the flushing pipe's on / off state and choose whether to perform flushing operations as needed, thereby improving water usage efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe.

[0018] The above solution, with its base, makes it easy to fix to an external tabletop.

[0019] Furthermore, a sealing plug is fixedly connected to the right end of the filter element, the sealing plug is fixedly connected to the pressure rod, and the sealing plug is slidably inserted into the filter canister.

[0020] The above solution, through the installation of a sealing plug, can improve the sealing performance of the filter tank and prevent water leakage.

[0021] Furthermore, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the pressure rod, a spring is provided between the left side of the pressure plate and the filter tank, a threaded cylinder is fixedly embedded at the left end of the filter tank, and the left end of the pressure rod is threaded.

[0022] The above scheme, through the setting of the spring, can achieve the purpose of automatic reset of the filter element. When water needs to be filtered, the filter element is pushed to the axis of the connecting pipe. Then, by rotating the pressure plate, the left end of the pressure rod can be threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder to fix the filter element. When not filtering, by reversing the pressure plate, the filter element is fixed in contact and returned to its initial position under the reset of the spring.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This low-cost faucet simplifies the faucet's structure and reduces production difficulty and cost by separating the flushing pipe and the water flow pipe, while maintaining functionality similar to common pull-out faucets. This allows the faucet to be both cost-effective and highly practical and convenient. The filter tank and filter cartridge design allows users to choose whether to filter the water source according to their needs. When filtration is required, simply push the filter cartridge to the connecting pipe; when filtration is not needed, the filter cartridge can be located at the right end of the filter tank, leaving the connecting pipe open. This design not only extends the filter cartridge's lifespan and reduces replacement frequency but also further reduces operating costs. The connecting pipe and water flow pipe are made of transparent ABS plastic, which not only reduces production costs but also allows users to clearly observe the water flow and the color of the water inside, helping them to promptly identify problems in the water source, such as impurities or pollution, thus ensuring safe and hygienic water use.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The low-cost faucet in this embodiment includes a connecting pipe 1, with a water pipe 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top end of the connecting pipe 1. Both the connecting pipe 1 and the water pipe 2 are made of ABS transparent plastic, which not only reduces production costs but also allows users to clearly observe the water flow status and the color of the internal water source. A first valve 10 is installed in the middle of the water pipe 2. Through the setting of the first valve 10, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the water pipe 2, thereby adjusting the flow of water and achieving water-saving effect. A base 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 1, which facilitates fixing to an external tabletop.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer surface of the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the middle of the flushing pipe 3, and the other end of the flushing pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the hose 4. The other end of the hose 4 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 5. A second valve 11 is installed in the middle of the flushing pipe 3. With the setting of the second valve 11, the user can independently control the opening and closing of the flushing pipe 3 and choose whether to perform flushing operation according to actual needs, thereby improving water efficiency. By setting the flushing pipe 3 and the water pipe 2 separately, compared with the common pull-out faucet, the production difficulty can be reduced, thereby reducing its cost, while achieving the functionality of the common pull-out faucet. The top end of the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the bracket 9. With the setting of the bracket 9, it is convenient for the user to place the hose 4, thereby achieving the purpose of storing the nozzle 5.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The bottom end of the connecting pipe 1 is provided with a filter tank 6, and a filter element 7 is slidably inserted inside the filter tank 6. A pressure rod 8 is fixedly connected inside the filter element 7. When the user needs to filter the water source, the filter element 7 can be pushed to the connecting pipe 1 to filter the water source passing through the connecting pipe 1. When the water source does not need to be filtered, the filter element 7 is positioned at the right end of the filter tank 6, thereby opening the connecting pipe 1, which can effectively reduce the replacement cycle of the filter element 7 and reduce the cost of use. A sealing plug 13 is fixedly connected to the right end of the filter element 7. The sealing plug 13 is fixedly connected to the pressure rod 8 and slidably inserted into the filter tank 6. The setting of the sealing plug 13 can improve the sealing performance of the filter tank 6 and prevent water leakage.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The right end of the pressure rod 8 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 14. A spring 15 is provided between the left side of the pressure plate 14 and the filter tank 6. A threaded cylinder 16 is fixedly embedded in the left end of the filter tank 6. The left end of the pressure rod 8 is threaded. Through the setting of the spring 15, the filter element 7 can be automatically reset. When water needs to be filtered, the filter element 7 is pushed to the axis of the connecting pipe 1. Then, by rotating the pressure plate 14, the left end of the pressure rod 8 can be threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 16 to fix the filter element 7. When not filtering, by reversing the pressure plate 14, the filter element 7 is fixed in contact and returned to the initial position under the reset of the spring 15.

[0036] The low-cost faucet in this embodiment simplifies the faucet's structure and reduces production difficulty and cost by separating the flushing pipe 3 and the water flow pipe 2, while maintaining functionality similar to common pull-out faucets. This allows the faucet to maintain low cost while also possessing high practicality and convenience. The filter tank 6 and filter element 7 design allows users to choose whether to filter the water source according to their needs. When water source filtration is required, it can be achieved by pushing the filter element 7 to the connecting pipe 1. When filtration is not required, the filter element 7 can be located at the right end of the filter tank 6, leaving the connecting pipe 1 in an open state. This design not only extends the service life of the filter element 7 and reduces the replacement frequency, but also further reduces usage costs. The connecting pipe 1 and water flow pipe 2 are made of ABS transparent plastic, which not only reduces production costs but also allows users to clearly observe the water flow status and the color of the internal water source, helping users to promptly detect problems in the water source, such as impurities and pollution, thereby ensuring the safety and hygiene of water use.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: If the user needs to use the water pipe 2 for regular water use, the water source will flow directly into the water pipe 2 through the connecting pipe 1. At this time, the user can control the flow of water by adjusting the first valve 10 installed in the middle of the water pipe 2 to achieve water saving. The water pipe 2 is made of ABS transparent plastic, allowing the user to clearly observe the water flow status and water color, ensuring water safety. If the user needs to perform rinsing operations, such as washing vegetables or tableware, the second valve 11 in the middle of the rinsing pipe 3 can be opened. At this time, the water source will flow into the hose 4 through the rinsing pipe 3 and finally spray out from the nozzle 5. The design of the 4 allows users to easily adjust the flushing angle and intensity, improving water efficiency. This faucet is also equipped with a filter canister 6 and a filter element 7 to meet users' water filtration needs. When water needs to be filtered, users only need to push the filter element 7 to the connecting pipe 1, and the filter element 7 will filter the passing water. The internal design of the pressure rod 8 and sealing plug 13 of the filter element 7 ensures the sealing of the filter canister 6 and prevents water leakage. At the same time, the design of the pressure plate 14 and spring 15 on the right end of the pressure rod 8 allows the filter element 7 to automatically return to the right end of the filter canister 6 when not in use, extending the service life of the filter element 7 and reducing the replacement frequency.
