Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a faucet that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and has water-saving properties. A faucet consists of a valve seat, a housing, and a handle. The valve seat is installed at the lower end of the housing, and one end of the handle is located on the housing and rotatably connected to the valve body. Typically, the faucet housing is threaded to the upper periphery of the valve seat. When a faucet malfunctions or is damaged and needs to be replaced, the technician needs to enter the faucet's installation location, such as the bottom of a sink, to remove the faucet from the sink. Then, using tools, the valve seat is rotated continuously to remove the faucet housing. Therefore, for convenience, customers often replace the entire faucet, resulting in a higher replacement cost.

The locking buckle is provided on the valve core seat, and the connecting block is provided on the housing. The locking buckle and the connecting block are interlocked and connected.

[0006] Preferably, the housing includes a mounting post and a water outlet pipe. One end of the water outlet pipe is disposed outside the side wall of the mounting post. A branch pipe is disposed outside the mounting post. A connector is disposed at the outer end of the branch pipe. A connector groove is formed on the inner circumference of the inner end of the water outlet pipe. The connector is inserted into the connector groove. A locking screw is disposed between the water outlet pipe and the branch pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the side wall of the outlet pipe is provided with a threaded hole, the circumferential side of the insertion pipe is provided with a fixing ring groove, the locking screw is threaded into the threaded hole, and the inner end of the locking screw is embedded in the fixing ring groove.

[0008] Preferably, the outer end of the branch pipe is provided with a first connection hole, the inner end of the outlet pipe is provided with a second connection hole, and a stabilizing rod is placed between the first connection hole and the second connection hole.

[0009] Preferably, the valve core seat has a cold water valve and a hot water valve, and the side wall of the valve core seat has two adjustment holes, which correspond to the adjustment ends of the cold water valve and the hot water valve, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the mounting column is provided with an embedding groove, a limiting plate is embedded in the embedding groove, and two limiting rods are provided at the inner end of the limiting plate, and the two limiting rods are respectively inserted into the two adjusting holes.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate has disassembly grooves on both sides.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. After long-term use, the faucet housing may be bumped or rusted, requiring replacement. First, loosen the fixing screws, then pull the limit plate out of the groove. The housing can then be detached from the valve core seat. Next, turn the locking screw to pull it out of the water outlet pipe. One end of the water outlet pipe can then be pulled out from the connector of the mounting post. The mounting post or water outlet pipe can then be replaced depending on the damaged part, thus reducing the faucet replacement cost.

[0014] 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the faucet, first pull the limiting plate out of the groove, and at the same time slide the two limiting rods out of the adjustment hole. Then, use a tool to close the cold water valve and the hot water valve. This will not affect the disassembly process.

[0015] 3. Before installing the water outlet pipe onto the insertion pipe of the mounting column, first insert one end of the stabilizer rod into the first connection hole, then place the second connection hole close to the first connection hole, and insert the other end of the stabilizer rod into the second connection hole. Then, when installing the water outlet pipe on one side of the mounting column, keep the water outlet of the water outlet pipe vertically downward. Attached Figure Description
