Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to an installation structure for a water outlet connector and a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, the connection between the water outlet and the faucet body is mostly a threaded connection, such as the common connection between an aerator and the faucet body. In this threaded connection structure, both the water outlet and the faucet body need to be formed with matching threads. The high precision required for thread forming and the complexity of the molds lead to higher costs. Furthermore, since the threaded connection involves screwing the water outlet into the faucet body from the outside, it also means that the water outlet can be directly unscrewed and removed from the outside of the faucet. This has resulted in situations where water outlets are stolen or damaged in public places. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses an installation structure for a water outlet connector, which aims to improve the problems of high cost and easy dismantling of existing water outlet connector installation structures.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] An installation structure for a water outlet connector includes a water outlet communicating with an internal mounting cavity of a faucet body and a water outlet connector connected to an inlet pipe. The inlet pipe is disposed within the mounting cavity, and the water outlet connector is configured to be inserted from inside the mounting cavity and extend into the water outlet. The mounting cavity is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, each of which is configured to be locked to the water outlet connector and / or the inlet pipe via fasteners, so that a first limiting portion on the water outlet connector abuts against a second limiting portion within the mounting cavity for limiting.

[0006] As a further improvement, the first limiting part is a protrusion extending outward along the side wall of the water outlet connector, and the second limiting part is a recess located at the top of the water outlet. The water inlet pipe presses against the top of the water outlet connector and locks with the faucet body so that the protrusion abuts against the recess.

[0007] As a further improvement, the first limiting part is a lug extending outward along the side wall of the water outlet connector, and the lug is provided with a mounting hole. The second limiting part is a screw post, and the assembly hole is provided on the screw post. The mounting hole and the assembly hole are locked together by fasteners.

[0008] As a further improvement, an assembly part is provided protruding along the side wall of the water inlet pipe. The assembly part is provided with a slot that is aligned with each of the assembly holes. The slot is locked to the assembly hole by the fastener.

[0009] As a further improvement, a sealing gasket is provided between the water outlet connector and the water inlet pipe, and a sealing groove is provided on the water outlet connector to accommodate the sealing gasket. The end face of the water inlet pipe abuts against the sealing gasket so as to seal the water outlet connector with the water inlet pipe.

[0010] As a further improvement, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water outlet connector, and a sealing ring is fitted on the water inlet pipe or the water outlet connector.

[0011] As a further improvement, a positioning hole is provided in the mounting cavity along the periphery of the water outlet, and the water outlet connector is configured to be positioned via the positioning hole to align with the water outlet.

[0036] Combination Figures 1 to 11 This embodiment provides an installation structure for a water outlet connector, including a water outlet 12 communicating with an internal mounting cavity 11 of the faucet body 1 and a water outlet connector 3 connected to an inlet pipe 2. The inlet pipe 2 is disposed within the mounting cavity 11, and the water outlet connector 3 is configured to be inserted from within the mounting cavity 11 and extend into the water outlet 12. The mounting cavity 11 has multiple mounting holes 111, each configured to be locked to the water outlet connector 3 and / or the inlet pipe 2 via fasteners 4, so that a first limiting portion 31 on the water outlet connector 3 abuts against a second limiting portion 112 within the mounting cavity 11. The fasteners 4 are preferably self-tapping screws.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the water outlet connector 3 extends into the water outlet 12 from inside the mounting cavity 11 of the faucet body 1, and is locked to the water outlet connector 3 and / or the water inlet pipe 2 in the mounting cavity 11 by fasteners 4, so that the water outlet connector 3 abuts and is limited to the faucet body 1. There is no need to provide threads on the water outlet connector 3 and the water outlet 12, thereby reducing molding precision, simplifying the mold structure, and reducing costs. Furthermore, the fasteners 4 are disposed inside the mounting cavity 11, and the water outlet connector 3 extends from the inside out into the water outlet 12, which prevents the water outlet connector 3 from being removed from the outside, thus preventing the water outlet connector 3 from being damaged.

[0038] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first limiting part 31 is a boss extending outward along the side wall of the water outlet connector 3, and the second limiting part 112 is a recess located at the top of the water outlet 12. The water inlet pipe 2 presses against the top of the water outlet connector 3 and locks with the faucet body 1 so that the boss abuts against the recess. Further, a positioning hole 113 is provided along the periphery of the water outlet 12 in the mounting cavity 11. The water outlet connector 3 is configured to be limited by the positioning hole 113 to align with the water outlet 12. The positioning hole 113 not only facilitates the accurate insertion of the water outlet connector 3 into the water outlet 12, but also adapts to the outer edge of the boss so that the water outlet connector 3 and the water outlet 12 are concentrically configured, thus limiting the water outlet connector 3 axially. During installation, the water outlet connector 3 is directly inserted along the positioning hole 113, and the lower surface of the boss abuts against the bottom surface of the recess, thereby limiting the water outlet connector 3 axially.

[0039] Reference Figures 9 to 11 In another embodiment, the first limiting part 31 is a lug extending outward along the side wall of the water outlet connector 3, and the lug is provided with a mounting hole 311. The second limiting part 112 is a screw post, and the assembly hole 111 is provided on the screw post. The mounting hole 311 and the assembly hole 111 are locked together by a fastener 4. Preferably, both sides of the water outlet connector 3 have lugs extending upward. The lugs are placed on the screw post, and the water outlet connector 3 is inserted into the water outlet 12. Then, the fastener 4 is locked to the mounting hole 311 and the assembly hole 111. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, an assembly part 21 is provided protruding along the side wall of the water inlet pipe 2. The assembly part 21 is provided with a slot 211 that aligns one-to-one with each assembly hole 111. The slot 211 is locked to the assembly hole 111 by a fastener 4. Exemplarily, at least one of the assembly parts 21 is placed above the hanging ear, and its slot 211 is aligned with the mounting hole 311. The fastener 4 (screw) passes through the slot 211, the mounting hole 311 and the assembly hole 111 in sequence and is locked to the assembly hole 111, so that the water outlet connector 3 and the water inlet pipe 2 are simultaneously fixed on the faucet body 1, thereby further simplifying the structure. However, this is not limited to this and is not intended to be restrictive.

[0041] In another embodiment, a sealing gasket 321 is disposed between the water outlet connector 3 and the water inlet pipe 2. The water outlet connector 3 is provided with a sealing groove 32 for accommodating the sealing gasket 321. The end face of the water inlet pipe 2 abuts against the sealing gasket 321 to seal the water outlet connector 3 with the water inlet pipe 2. The water outlet connector 3 is limited axially by the second limiting part 112. The water inlet pipe 2 is fixed to the faucet body 1 to press the sealing gasket 321. In this embodiment, there is no need to provide a fastening structure on the water outlet connector 3, which facilitates the installation of the water outlet connector 3. In addition, in other embodiments, the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet connector 3 can also be connected by insertion. A sealing ring 24 is provided on the water inlet pipe 2 or the water outlet connector 3 to seal against the side walls of the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet connector 3.

[0042] This utility model also provides a faucet, including a faucet body 1, a water inlet pipe 2, and a water outlet connector 3. The water outlet connector 3 is connected to the faucet body 1 via an installation structure, which is the water outlet connector installation structure described in any of the above embodiments.

A cover 14 with a similar shape is disposed on the opening 13 to ensure the overall aesthetics of the faucet. During installation, the water outlet connector 3 and the water inlet pipe 2 are first inserted into the installation cavity 11 in sequence and locked by fasteners 4. Then, the cover 14 is installed to cover the opening 13. The connection between the cover 14 and the opening 13 can be achieved through a connecting structure or by adhesive fixation, without specific limitation. In an optional embodiment, a plurality of first locking portions 114 are provided on the inner wall around the periphery of the opening 13, and the cover 14 is provided with a second locking portion 141 corresponding to the first locking portions. The first locking portions 114 and the second locking portions 141 engage to fix the cover 14 to the faucet body 1. Preferably, the first locking portions 114 are slots and the second locking portions 141 are buckles to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cover 14.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the water inlet pipe 2 includes a fixing section 22 for fixing to the faucet body 1, and an inlet section 23 inserted into the fixing section 22.
