Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a faucet that can rotate at multiple angles. Background Technology
[0002] Faucets, as devices for controlling the flow of water, are ubiquitous in daily life. They are installed in kitchen sinks, bathtubs, and washbasins, as well as in water dispensers, water purifiers, and integrated water purification and heating systems.
[0003] To facilitate cleaning over a wide area, a rotating component is usually added to enable the faucet to rotate 360 degrees. However, the rotating component has a complex structure, which increases the processing cost. Moreover, when used in small to medium-sized sinks, the faucet may rotate beyond the sink area, causing water to splash onto the countertop and leave water stains. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a faucet that is applicable to various types of sinks, has a simple structure, and can rotate at multiple angles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a faucet that can rotate at multiple angles, comprising a main body assembly, a first screw, a second screw, a swing pipe, and a shower head, wherein:
[0006] The water inlet end of the swing pipe is connected to the main component and is equipped with a limiting hole;
[0007] The main component is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole;
[0008] The first screw is threaded into the first through hole, and the second screw is threaded into the second through hole. The tip of the first screw is in contact with the outer wall of the swing tube, and the tip of the second screw is inserted into the limiting hole.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting hole is an annular limiting hole with an arc of 110 degrees. When the first screw is screwed outward to the top to separate the outer wall of the swing tube, and the second screw is screwed inward to the top to insert into the annular limiting hole, the swing tube can be rotated 110 degrees.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes an open rubber ring. The water inlet end of the swing tube is provided with an installation groove that fits the inner wall of the open rubber ring. An annular limiting hole is provided on the installation groove. The open rubber ring is fitted on the installation groove. The tip of the first screw passes through the open rubber ring and is in contact with the outer wall of the swing tube. The tip of the second screw passes through the open rubber ring and is inserted into the annular limiting hole. The setting of the open rubber ring can reduce the frictional loss of the swing tube rotation.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a pull-out bushing and a washing hose. The pull-out bushing is inserted into the water outlet of the swing tube. The shower head is a handheld shower head. The water inlet of the handheld shower head is inserted into the pull-out bushing. The water outlet of the washing hose is connected to the handheld shower head. The washing hose slides through the swing tube and the main body assembly. The handheld shower head can be pulled out from the swing tube to clean the outer countertop of the sink.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the pull-out bushing is provided with longitudinal ribs to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the pull-out bushing during the use of the handheld shower head.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a first decorative plug and a second decorative plug, with the first decorative plug installed in the first through hole and the second decorative plug installed in the second through hole, to avoid the first screw and the second screw being exposed and affecting the appearance.
[0014] Preferably, the first screw is a hexagonal cylindrical set screw and the second screw is a hexagonal tapered set screw. The hexagonal design can distribute the force, and its six force-bearing surfaces have a stronger load-bearing capacity than slotted or Phillips head screws. The headless design, combined with the countersunk head process, can completely hide the nut inside the workpiece, keeping the surface flat and beautiful. The cylindrical head design increases the contact area between the first screw and the outer wall of the swing tube, resulting in a better fastening effect.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] In this utility model, the water inlet end of the swing tube is connected to the main body component and is provided with a limiting hole; the main body component is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole; the first screw is threadedly connected to the first through hole, the second screw is threadedly connected to the second through hole, the top of the first screw is attached to the outer wall of the swing tube, and the top of the second screw is inserted into the limiting hole.
[0017] Threaded connections achieve mechanical connection through a helical pair. Their structure allows for detachable fixing without complex design, making them easy to manufacture and install. Preload enhances reliability, ensuring stability under various operating conditions.
[0018] The faucet can be used in various types of sinks by simply setting a limiting hole, a first screw, and a second screw. The structure is simple and easy to use.
[0019] When used in a small sink, tighten the first screw inwards so that the tip of the first screw is in contact with the outer wall of the swing tube, locking the swing tube in place. The swing tube can rotate 0 degrees. In confined spaces, the swing tube cannot rotate, and the faucet is fixed above a single point, avoiding water splashing issues in small areas.
[0020] When used in a medium-sized sink, the size of the horizontal opening of the limiting hole is set according to the size of the sink. Tighten the first screw outward so that the tip of the first screw separates from the outer wall of the swing tube. Tighten the second screw inward so that the tip of the second screw inserts into the limiting hole. Due to the limitation of the second screw and the limiting hole, the angle of rotation of the swing tube will not exceed the range of the sink area. In this way, the water from the faucet will not splash onto the countertop and leave water stains.
[0021] When used in a large sink, screw the first screw outwards to separate the tip of the first screw from the outer wall of the swing tube, and screw the second screw inwards to disengage the tip of the second screw from the limiting hole. The swing tube can rotate 360 degrees, and the faucet can be adjusted in a wide area to achieve large-area cleaning. Attached Figure Description
