The fixing tube has an opening at the fixing cylinder position for the insertion of a water inlet hexagonal nut with a reverse thread, and the fixing cylinder is connected to the water inlet hexagonal nut with a reverse thread.

[0010] A further improvement is that it also includes a sealing plate, wherein the end of the socket tube is provided with a sealing plate, and the sealing plate seals the end of the fixing tube to seal the fixing tube.

[0011] A further improvement is that the faucet body is equipped with a limiting device to prevent the socket tube from excessively penetrating into the water inlet pipe.

[0012] A further improvement is that the limiting device is such that a limiting groove is formed around the end of the fixed tube, and the sealing plate is disposed in the limiting groove and abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove.

[0013] A further improvement is made to the sealing device, wherein the socket tube is provided with several sealing grooves at the water inlet pipe position, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove, and the sealing ring abuts against the water inlet pipe.

[0014] A further improvement is that the faucet body is provided with a second water outlet pipe, and the faucet body has a water distribution channel for placing a water distributor.

[0019] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The structure is simple, convenient to manufacture and assemble. During installation, the socket pipe is directly inserted into the water inlet pipe, and then the external hexagonal nut is screwed into the fixing sleeve. This completes the assembly of the shower faucet's water inlet pipe and socket pipe, which is very convenient and beneficial for workers. Separating the shower faucet's water inlet pipe from the socket pipe and manufacturing them separately reduces the need for a one-piece molding process and casting or mold-making techniques, simplifying production and reducing costs. Simultaneously, the smaller diameter of the socket pipe reduces water residue and enhances freeze resistance compared to existing larger diameter inlet pipes, making it less prone to freezing damage. Furthermore, because the socket pipe is manufactured separately from the faucet body, it can be quickly repaired and replaced if it freezes, promoting the green recycling of the shower faucet and saving costs and resources.

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] refer to Figure 1-6The present invention discloses a faucet that is easy to install, comprising a faucet body 1, a fixing pipe 2 extending laterally from the faucet body 1, a first water outlet pipe 3 at one end of the faucet body 1, a water inlet pipe 7 inside the faucet body 1 in the direction of the fixing pipe 2, a valve core pipe 4 extending from one end of the faucet body 1 for inserting a valve core, a valve seat 41 for placing the valve core between the faucet body 1 and the valve core pipe 4, a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel 44 on the valve seat 41, the water inlet channel being connected to the first water outlet pipe 3, the water outlet channel 44 being connected to the first water outlet pipe 3, a socket pipe 8 passing through the water inlet pipe 7, a fixing device for fixing the socket pipe 8 to the water inlet pipe 7 at the other end of the socket pipe 8, two sealing grooves being opened on the socket pipe 8 at the position of the water inlet pipe 7, a sealing ring 10 being provided in the sealing groove, and the sealing ring 10 abutting against the water inlet pipe 7.

[0030] Specifically, the fixing device includes a fixing cylinder 9, which is fixedly mounted on the socket tube 8 and connected to the socket tube 8. The fixing tube 2 is provided with a clearance channel for the water inlet hexagonal nut to pass through at the position of the fixing cylinder 9, and the fixing cylinder 9 is connected to the water inlet hexagonal nut with a reverse thread.

[0031] During installation, the sealing ring 10 is fitted onto the sealing groove, and then the socket pipe 8 is directly inserted into the water inlet pipe 7. Finally, the external water inlet hexagonal nut is screwed into the fixing cylinder 9, completing the assembly of the shower faucet's water inlet pipe 7 and socket pipe 8. This is very convenient and beneficial for workers. Separating the shower faucet's water inlet pipe 7 from the socket pipe 8, manufacturing them separately, reduces the need for a one-piece molding process and the technical requirements of casting or mold making, simplifying production and reducing costs. Simultaneously, the smaller diameter of the water-passing socket pipe 8 reduces water residue and enhances its freeze resistance compared to the existing larger diameter water inlet pipe 7, making it less prone to freezing damage. Furthermore, because the socket pipe 8 is manufactured separately from the faucet body 1, it can be quickly repaired and replaced if it freezes, promoting the green recycling of the shower faucet and saving costs and resources.

[0032] To ensure a proper seal for the fixing pipe 2, improving the appearance of the shower faucet and preventing water from entering and causing corrosion and mold, thus extending its lifespan and hygiene, a sealing plate 5 is included. The end of the socket pipe 8 is equipped with the sealing plate 5, which seals the end of the fixing pipe 2. Specifically, the sealing plate 5 seals the fixing pipe 2 precisely when the socket pipe 8 is inserted into the water inlet pipe 7, ensuring the shower faucet's airtightness and preventing water from entering during showering, thus avoiding the easy growth of bacteria, mold, and corrosion. In winter, it also prevents water from entering and freezing, thus improving the shower faucet's lifespan and practicality.

[0033] To prevent the socket tube 8 and sealing plate 5 from excessively penetrating into the fixed pipe 2, a limiting groove 11 is formed around the end of the fixed pipe 2, and the sealing plate 5 is disposed within the limiting groove 11 and abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 11. The sealing plate 5, located within the limiting groove 11, can restrict the insertion of the socket tube 8 into the water inlet pipe 7, thereby allowing the workers to assemble it directly in one step during installation. It also allows the fixed cylinder 9 to better align with the clearance channel, further facilitating the installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0034] In order to further improve the function of the shower faucet, the faucet body 1 is provided with a second water outlet pipe 12, and the faucet body 1 has a water distribution channel 6 for placing a water distributor. The water outlet channel 44 is connected to the water distribution channel 6, and the first water outlet pipe 3 and the second water outlet pipe 12 are respectively connected to the water distribution channel 6.

[0035] In order to enable the shower faucet to use both hot and cold water and further improve its functionality, the water inlet pipe 7 includes a hot water inlet pipe and a cold water inlet pipe, and the water inlet channel includes a hot water inlet channel 42 and a cold water inlet channel 43. The hot water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the hot water inlet channel 42, and the cold water inlet pipe 7 is connected to the cold water inlet channel 43.

[0036] To facilitate the manufacturing of the socket tube 8, the fixing cylinder 9, and the seal, the fixing cylinder 9, the sealing plate 5, and the socket tube 8 are integrally formed.

[0037] To further secure the socket tube 8, a fixing block is provided on the outer wall of the socket tube 8. A fixing threaded hole 11 is provided between the fixing block and the fixing tube 2, and a fixing screw is locked in the fixing threaded hole 11 to connect and fix the socket tube 8. The fixing block and the fixing tube 2 are locked together by screws, so that the socket tube 8 and the fixing tube 2 are connected as one unit, thereby further securing the socket tube 8 and preventing the socket tube 8 from moving.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions above are only illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
