Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0019] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a quick-connect water appliance connection device, including an installation part 1 for installation on a faucet and a connector 2 for connection to a water supply pipe. The installation part 1 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. An aerator 3 is provided in the cavity of the installation part 1. The top end of the connector 2 can be fitted onto the bottom end of the installation part 1 and connected to it through a locking mechanism 4.

[0020] The connector 2 includes a main body 21 and a locking sleeve 22. Both the main body 21 and the locking sleeve 22 are open at both ends. The locking mechanism 4 is located on the main body 21. A pagoda connector 23 for connecting water supply pipes is provided on the bottom end face of the main body 21. The top end of the locking sleeve 22 is fitted and detachably connected to the bottom end of the main body 21. When the locking sleeve 22 is installed on the main body 21, the water pipe can be clamped between the bottom end of the locking sleeve 22 and the pagoda connector 23.

[0021] In use, the locking sleeve 22 is fitted onto one end of the water pipe, and then the other end of the water pipe is fitted onto the pagoda connector 23. The locking sleeve 22 is then detachably connected to the connector 2, so that the locking sleeve 22 and the pagoda connector 23 clamp and fix one end of the water pipe, completing the installation of the water pipe on the connector 2. Then, the connector 2 with the water pipe installed is fitted onto the mounting part 1 installed on the faucet, and the two are connected and fixed by the locking mechanism 4, thereby completing the connection between the water pipe and the faucet.

[0022] In this embodiment, the main body 21 and the locking sleeve 22 are connected by a threaded connection.

[0023] See Figure 2 The outer surface of the top of the mounting component 1 is provided with a threaded structure 5, which enables the mounting component 1 and the faucet to be detachably installed by means of a threaded connection, thereby improving the convenience of installation and replacement.

[0024] See Figure 2 , Figure 3The mounting component 1 includes a main body sleeve 11 and a sealing sleeve 12. Both the main body sleeve 11 and the sealing sleeve 12 are tubular structures with openings at both ends. The bubbler 3 is placed in the cavity at the bottom end of the main body sleeve 11. The sealing sleeve 12 is inserted from top to bottom and fixed on the top end of the main body sleeve 11. When the sealing sleeve 12 is fixed on the main body sleeve 11, the bubbler 3 is sandwiched between the sealing sleeve 12 and the main body sleeve 11, which improves the convenience of assembling the bubbler 3 in the mounting component 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sealing sleeve 12 can be made of silicone or elastic plastic. When the sealing sleeve 12 is inserted into the main body sleeve 1, it can be fixed to the main body sleeve 1 by means of interference fit due to its elastic properties. It plays a role in limiting the position of the aerator 3 and also plays a role in sealing between the faucet and the main body sleeve 1.

[0026] To facilitate replacement when the aerator 3 is damaged, the main body sleeve 11 and the sealing sleeve 12 can also be fixed by a detachable connection (such as snap-fit ​​or threaded connection). This not only ensures the aeration effect of the water outlet, but also improves the utilization rate of the installation parts 1 and avoids waste.

[0027] See Figures 3-5 The locking mechanism 4 includes a locking sleeve 41, which is slidably fitted onto the top end of the connecting member 2. A spring 42 is provided between the locking sleeve 41 and the connecting member 2 to apply a force to the locking sleeve 41 to disengage from the top end of the connecting member 2. The two ends of the spring 42 abut against the locking sleeve 41 and the connecting member 2, respectively. A retaining spring 43 is fitted onto and engaged with the top end of the connecting member 2 to prevent the locking sleeve 41 from disengaging from the top end of the connecting member 2. Several radially arranged rings are formed on the top end of the connecting member 2 around its central axis. Through holes 6 are arranged at equal angles, and steel balls 61 are placed inside the through holes 6. The depth of the through holes 6 is less than the diameter of the steel balls 61. The opening at the outer end of the through holes 6 is located on the moving trajectory of the locking sleeve 41. The diameter of the opening at the inner end of the through holes 6 is less than the diameter of the steel balls 61. A circular groove 7 is opened on the outer side of the mounting part 1. When the mounting part 1 is fixed to the connecting part 2, the locking sleeve 41 abuts against the outer end of the steel balls 61 along the radial direction of the connecting part 2, and the inner end of the steel balls 61 passes through the through holes 6 and is located in the groove 7.

[0028] When connecting the mounting part 1 and the connecting part 2, the locking sleeve 41 is pushed to slide relative to the connecting part 2. At this time, the spring 42 is compressed and the locking sleeve 41 releases its resistance to the steel ball 61. Then, the connecting part 2 is put on the mounting part 1. During the process of the bottom end of the mounting part 1 extending into the connecting part 2, the bottom end of the mounting part 1 can abut against the inner end of the steel ball 61 and push the inner end of the steel ball 61 into the through hole 6 until the mounting part 1 moves to the bottom. At this time, the through hole 6, the steel ball 61 and the groove 7 are on the same horizontal plane and the outer end of the steel ball 61 is exposed from the through hole 6 and located on the movement trajectory of the locking sleeve 41. Then, the push on the locking sleeve 41 is released, so that the locking sleeve 41 is reset under the force of the spring 42 to restore its original state. During the reset movement of the locking sleeve 41, the locking sleeve 41 can abut against the outer end of the steel ball 61 and push the outer end of the steel ball 61 into the through hole 6, so that the inner end of the steel ball 61 passes through the through hole 6 and is located in the groove 7, thereby realizing the connection and fixation between the mounting part 1 and the connecting part 2.

[0029] When it is necessary to disconnect the mounting part 1 and the connector 2, push the locking sleeve 41 so that the locking sleeve 41 releases its resistance to the steel ball 61, and the inner end of the steel ball 61 can enter the through hole 6, so that the connector 2 can be directly pulled out from the mounting part 1. After releasing the push on the locking sleeve 41, the locking sleeve 41 resets and pushes the steel ball 61 so that the inner end of the steel ball 61 passes through the through hole 6 and is located in the cavity of the connector 2.

[0030] See Figure 4 The outer surface of the top of the locking sleeve 22 is provided with several protrusions 8 arranged at equal angles around its central axis, which can increase friction and ensure the effectiveness of operation when turning the locking sleeve 22. The bottom end of the mounting part 1 is shaped like an inverted frustum, which reduces the risk of obstructing hand movement when turning the locking sleeve 22.

[0031] See Figure 5 The cavity of the connector 2 is fitted with a U-shaped sealing ring 9. The opening of the U-shaped sealing ring 9 faces the same direction as the direction in which the mounting part 1 is inserted into the connector 2, which improves the sealing performance of the connection between the mounting part 1 and the connector 2.

[0032] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
