Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a direct drinking water faucet. Background Technology

[0002] As a common household water dispensing device, the faucet plays an indispensable role in daily life. Direct drinking water faucets, as an upgrade from traditional faucets, not only need to meet basic water dispensing functions but also require optimized design in terms of water purification, ease of use, and safety protection to meet the modern family's demand for healthy drinking water. Their core lies in using a built-in filtration system to deeply treat tap water, removing impurities, odors, bacteria, heavy metals, and other harmful substances, while ensuring stable water flow and controllable water temperature. Furthermore, their structure must consider installation compatibility and ease of maintenance, allowing users to easily obtain drinking water that meets drinking standards.

[0003] There are also various direct drinking water faucets in the existing technology, such as the flip-up double-outlet faucet provided by Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN219062532U), which includes a base, an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the base, and outlet pipes respectively set at both ends of the base. The outlet pipe is equipped with a switch. A connecting pipe is provided between the base and the outlet pipe. The inlet pipe, the base, the connecting pipe and the outlet pipe are connected in sequence. One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet end of the outlet pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the base. A sealing element is provided between the connecting pipe and the base. A limiting spring is sleeved on the connecting pipe. A fixing nut is threadedly connected to the end of the base connected to the connecting pipe. The limiting spring is pressed between the surface of the base and the fixing nut.

[0004] The individual water outlet pipe can be flipped by rotating the connecting pipe and the base. Its structure is simple and the flipping is reliable. At the same time, the fixed nut makes the water outlet pipe stable after flipping and not easy to shift. Multiple sealing rings are set on the connecting pipe and embedded in the outer wall of the connecting pipe along the axis, which can achieve a good sealing effect and reduce the leakage of water outlet pipe during the flipping process.

[0005] However, the shortcomings of the existing technology are as follows: for direct drinking water, users can usually drink directly from the dispenser or drink directly through their mouths, but the existing technology cannot make the water outlet face upwards, so there is an urgent need to improve the above-mentioned shortcomings.

[0024] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a direct drinking water faucet includes a connecting base 1 connected to an external water source, and a water outlet pipe connected to the connecting base 1. The connecting base 1 is provided with a switch 3 for opening and closing the water outlet pipe. The water outlet pipe includes a connecting pipe 21 and a flip pipe 22. One end of the flip pipe 22 is provided with a connector 23. One end of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a connecting cylinder 24 that mates with the connector 23. The connecting cylinder 24 is provided with a connecting groove. The connector 23 is rotatably installed in the connecting groove. The connector 23 rotates around the central axis of the connecting cylinder 24. The axis of the flip pipe 22 is set at an angle with the axis of the outlet of the connecting pipe 21. A sealing gasket 27 is provided between the connecting groove and the connector 23 for sealing. A pressure plate 241 is detachably fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder 24. The pressure plate 241 is used to press the connector 23 into the connecting groove.

[0025] The connector 23 includes a connecting plate 231 and a connecting platform 232. The connecting groove has a first step and a second step. A bearing 25 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting platform 232. The bearing 25 is located at the first step in the connecting groove. The sealing gasket 27 is located on the second step of the connecting groove. A flat bearing 26 is abutted between the sealing gasket 27 and the connecting platform 232. The bearing 25 and the flat bearing 26 enable the flip tube 22 to rotate more smoothly, thus allowing the outlet 220 of the flip tube 22 to be rotated upwards, so that the user can directly drink water.

[0026] The switch 3 includes a lever 31 and a piston rod 32. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a water inlet channel 11 and a water outlet channel 12. The water inlet channel 11 and the water outlet channel 12 are connected by a connecting port 13. The water inlet channel 11 has a water inlet 10. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to the water outlet channel 12. A fixed seat 33 is installed in the water inlet channel 11. A first sealing ring 34 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed seat 33 to seal with the water inlet channel 11. The piston rod 32 is movably installed in the fixed seat 33. A second sealing ring 36 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the piston rod 32 to seal with the inner wall of the water inlet channel 11. The piston rod 32 can reciprocate in a first position and a second position through the lever 31.

[0027] When the piston rod 32 is in the first position, the connection port 13 and the water inlet 10 are blocked;

[0028] When the piston rod 32 is in the second position, the connection port 13 is connected to the water inlet 10.

[0029] The piston rod 32 is provided with a limiting plate 32, and a return spring 35 is provided between the bottom of the fixed seat 33 and the limiting plate 32. The return spring 35 always has the tendency to push the piston rod 32 to move away from the fixed seat 33.

[0030] The connecting pipe 21 has several annular grooves 210, and a third sealing ring 4 is installed in each annular groove 210. The third sealing ring 4 is sealed to the inner wall of the water outlet channel 12.

[0031] The lever 31 has an arc-shaped groove 310 inside, and the piston rod 32 has a movable column 321. The outer peripheral wall of the movable column 321 abuts against the side wall of the arc-shaped groove 310. The lever 31 has an abutment surface 311, a connecting surface 312 and an abutment angle 313, and the lever 31 can swing in a first movable position, a second movable position and a third movable position.

[0032] When the lever 31 is in the first active position, the abutting surface 311 abuts against the upper surface of the fixed seat 33, and the piston rod 32 is kept in the second position by the cooperation of the movable column 321 and the arc groove 310, so that the faucet is in the normally open state.

[0033] When the lever 31 is in the second active position, the connecting surface 312 abuts against the upper surface of the fixed seat 33, and the piston rod 32 is kept in the first position by the cooperation of the movable column 321 and the arc groove 310, so that the faucet is in the normally closed state.

[0034] When the lever 31 is in the third active position, the abutment angle 313 abuts against the upper surface of the fixed base 33, and through the cooperation of the movable column 321 and the arc groove 310, the piston rod 32 is located in the second position. Since the abutment angle 313 has a guiding function, and the piston rod 32 will move from the second position to the first position after losing external force under the elastic force of the return spring 35, the lever 31 will move from the third active position to the second active position, that is, press to turn on.

[0035] Therefore, the faucet of this application has three states: normally open, normally closed, and momentary open, so that users can open and close it according to different needs.
