Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of faucet technology, and more particularly to a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples. Background Technology

[0002] To understand the characteristics of water bodies within a specific area, the standard procedure is to sample the water. Currently, visual faucets are becoming increasingly common in the sampling rooms of water quality centers, allowing laboratory personnel to visually inspect the water while sampling. It's conceivable that water from a specific area is not necessarily clean, and the composition of water flowing into the visual faucet each time may differ. To ensure the accuracy of each sampling and testing result, these visual faucets require regular cleaning. However, performing a thorough cleaning of the visual faucet regularly requires using different sized wrenches to loosen the different sized fastening nuts on the transparent sleeve, making the entire disassembly-cleaning-reassembly process complex and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples, which solves the problem of the cumbersome disassembly-cleaning-reassembly process of the transparent sleeve in the prior art, and realizes a modular, visual faucet that can be selectively separated for easy cleaning.

[0004] This application provides a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples, which includes a base, a transparent sleeve, a top cover and a bend. The base is detachably and sealingly connected to the lower end of the transparent sleeve, and the upper end of the transparent sleeve is detachably and sealingly connected to the top cover. The top cover has a first through hole, and the bend passes through the first through hole and through the top cover.

[0005] According to the present application, a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples is provided, wherein the lower end of the bend is provided with a connector, and the connector has several second through holes.

[0006] According to the present application, a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples also includes a support column that extends upward from the center of the base and detachably abuts against a connector.

[0021] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections, wherein a fixed connection can include an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0026] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This application describes a visual faucet for displaying tap water samples.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a front view of the visual faucet (hereinafter referred to as "visual faucet") used for displaying tap water samples provided in this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The side view of the visualization faucet for displaying tap water samples is shown in the figure. The visualization faucet is positioned on an external tabletop 15 and includes a base 8, a transparent sleeve 1, a top cover 7, and a curved pipe 3. The base 8 is detachably and sealingly connected to the lower end of the transparent sleeve 1, while the upper end of the transparent sleeve 1 is detachably and sealingly connected to the top cover 7. The top cover 7 has a first through-hole (not shown in the figure), through which the curved pipe 3 passes. Thus, when a thorough cleaning of the visualization faucet is required, laboratory personnel can selectively separate the base 8 from the transparent sleeve 1, while the transparent sleeve 1, top cover 7, and curved pipe 3 remain integrated. This allows personnel to clean the base 8 and the integrated unit (composed of the transparent sleeve 1, top cover 7, and curved pipe 3) separately.

[0028] The visual faucet also includes several clamps 13, which are evenly distributed below the base 8 and extend vertically upwards to near the upper surface of the top cover 7. Each clamp 13 has a fastening element 14 at its upper end. There can be one or more clamps 13, and in the case of multiple clamps 13, they are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the base 8. Similarly, the fastening elements 14 are also arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the outer periphery of the upper end of the transparent sleeve 1. When the top cover 7 is assembled to the upper end of the transparent sleeve 1, the fastening elements 14 are operated to hold the top cover 7 in place. This demonstrates the advantage of the equal-interval arrangement of the fastening elements 14; that is, the top cover 7 is evenly held by the fastening elements 14. Combined with the sealing connection between the lower end of the base 8 and the transparent sleeve 1, and the sealing connection between the upper end of the transparent sleeve 1 and the top cover 7, this further ensures the water-tight performance of the top cover 7, the base 8, and the transparent sleeve 1. Moreover, these fasteners 14 differ from traditional threaded connections. Existing threaded connections are prone to wear and failure after repeated tightening and loosening. Using fasteners 14 effectively avoids this problem of fastening failure. Additionally, as mentioned above, the bent pipe 3 passes through the first through-hole into the top cover 7, and a tightening nut 4 can be used as an additional means. Tightening the tightening nut 4 onto the first through-hole of the top cover 7 seals the gap between the bent pipe 3 and the top cover 7. Furthermore, the tightening nut 4, through its threaded engagement with the bent pipe 3, applies downward pressure to the top cover 7, ensuring a tight seal between the top cover 7 and the upper end of the transparent sleeve 1.

[0029] Furthermore, if necessary, laboratory personnel can further disassemble the integrated component. When the laboratory personnel loosen the various fasteners 14, the transparent sleeve 1 and the top cover 7 are no longer constrained by the clamps 13 and fasteners 14, thereby allowing the laboratory personnel to separate the transparent sleeve 1 and the top cover 7.

[0030] Figure 3 This is an enlarged view of the top cover of the visualization faucet used for displaying tap water samples provided in this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a connector 5 is provided at the lower end of the bend 3, and the connector 5 has several second through holes 6. Additionally, the visual faucet includes a support column 2, which extends upward from the center of the base 8 and detachably abuts against the connector 5. The support column 2 can be a solid column or a hollow column with a closed surface. The support column 2 is coaxially arranged with the lower end of the bend 3, so that the upper end of the support column 2 can align with and abut against the lower end of the bend 3, i.e., the connector 5. Thus, the support column 2 supports the bend 3. When the water in the transparent sleeve 1 rises to the height of the second through holes 6 of the connector 5, the bend 3 can draw water through the second through holes 6 and then output water through the end of the bend 3.

[0031] Back Figures 1 to 2The visual faucet is positioned on the outer countertop 15, and the faucet itself has a certain height. Conversely, the water tank 16, used to receive the water output from the visual faucet, is positioned on another countertop below the outer countertop 15. This results in a significant height difference between the end of the bend 3 and the water tank 16. Consequently, water dripping from the end of the bend 3, after falling through this considerable height difference, lands on the surface of the water tank 16, generating considerable noise and splashing a considerable distance. To address this, an extension plastic tube 17 can be provided to the bend 3. Specifically, the extension plastic tube 17 is detachably connected to the end of the bend 3, meaning that the end of the extension plastic tube 17 becomes the actual output end of the visual faucet. Based on this, laboratory personnel can equip the bend 3 with an extension plastic tube 17, thereby reducing the height difference between the end of the extension plastic tube 17 and the water tank 16.

[0032] Preferably, the outer countertop 15 has a stepped structure, with most of the visual faucet arranged on the horizontal surface of the outer countertop 15. The interior of the outer countertop 15 is hollow, or a channel is provided inside the outer countertop 15 to facilitate the wiring of water pipes. The visual faucet also includes an inlet pipe 9 and a drain pipe 10, which are fluidly connected to the base 8 through the hollow outer countertop 15 or the channel provided inside the outer countertop 15, thereby realizing the water inlet and drainage of the visual faucet.

[0033] More preferably, the water inlet pipe 9 includes a water inlet switch 11, and the drain pipe 10 includes a drain switch 12. The water inlet switch 11 and the drain switch 12 are arranged on the vertical surface of the outer countertop 15. The advantage of this arrangement is that the water inlet switch 11 and the drain switch 12 are no longer arranged on the horizontal plane of the visible faucet, as in the prior art, and especially no longer near its base 8. This is because if the water inlet switch 11 and the drain switch 12 are too close to the base 8, it can easily create a hard-to-clean area. With the current arrangement, the water inlet switch 11 and the drain switch 12 are located on the vertical surface of the outer countertop 15, making it easier for laboratory personnel to clean the base 8 on the horizontal plane and the water inlet switch 11 and the drain switch 12 on the vertical surface.

[0034] Furthermore, the inlet switch 11 and drain switch 12 can be configured as valves with handles. For example, one of the inlet switch 11 and drain switch 12 is located on the left side of the exterior panel 15, and the other is located on the right side of the exterior panel 15. When closed, the handle of the left-side inlet / drain switch points to the left; the handle of the right-side inlet / drain switch points to the right. To open the left-side inlet / drain switch, turn its handle clockwise to point upwards, or counterclockwise to point downwards; similarly, to open the right-side inlet / drain switch, turn its handle counterclockwise to point upwards, or clockwise to point downwards. In this case, the direction of the handle aligns with the wiring of the inlet pipe 9 / drain pipe 10, making it easier for laboratory personnel to identify the opening method of the inlet switch 11 and drain switch 12.

[0035] After removing the transparent sleeve 1 from the base 8, regardless of whether the transparent sleeve 1 remains integrated with the top cover 7 and the curved tube 3, it is necessary to clean the transparent sleeve 1, especially its inner surface. The length of the transparent sleeve 1 directly affects the ease of cleaning. Therefore, the length of the transparent sleeve 1 is designed to be approximately 30cm to 40cm. This length is roughly equivalent to half the length of an adult's arm, meaning that any laboratory technician can easily clean the entire inner surface of the transparent sleeve 1.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
