Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sealing caps, and in particular to a sealing cap for faucets. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing barrels are the preferred choice for storing and retailing beer, spirits, wine, sparkling beverages, and other alcoholic drinks in restaurants, bars, shops, and homes. The dispensing valve on these barrels is typically a tap located at the bottom, and a sealed cap is usually installed to ensure cleanliness.

[0003] Existing sealing caps include a collar that connects to the faucet, a cap for sealing the faucet's outlet end, and a strap connecting the collar and the cap. These sealing caps prevent dust and insects from entering the faucet by sealing the outlet end, keeping the faucet clean. The collar allows the sealing cap to be directly connected to the faucet, preventing loss. However, when the cap is removed from the faucet's outlet end and the faucet is turned on, the liquid easily comes into contact with the cap because the cap is located below the outlet end, causing contamination.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] This embodiment provides a sealing cap for a faucet, the sealing cap 2 being made entirely of silicone material, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a connecting part 21, a cap 23, a strap body 22, and a retaining assembly 24;

[0035] Connector 21 is connected to faucet 1;

[0036] Specifically, the connecting part 21 is annular with a connecting hole 25 in the center, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the connecting part 21 is fitted onto the rotary valve of the faucet 1 for easy assembly and disassembly;

[0037] The cap 23 is used to cover the output end of the faucet 1 to block the output end of the faucet 1.

[0038] Specifically, the cap 23 includes a bottom wall and a side wall, with an opening 26 at the top and a groove inside. By placing the cap 23 on the output end of the faucet 1, the output end of the faucet 1 is located in the groove. The side wall of the cap 23 wraps around the outer wall of the output end of the faucet 1, thereby sealing the output end of the faucet 1 and making it easy to remove the cap 23 from the output end of the faucet 1.

[0039] The belt body 22 is disposed between the connecting part 21 and the cap 23 to connect the connecting part 21 and the cap 23; the belt body 22 can be bent and deformed.

[0040] Specifically, one end of the strap 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 21, and the other end of the strap 22 is fixedly connected to the cap 23, thereby connecting the connecting part 21 and the cap 23 together. Since the strap 22 is made of silicone, the strap 22 can be deformed, which can be referred to as the material of electronic watches and bracelets.

[0041] The retaining component 24 is used to keep the closure cap 2 in a bent and folded state, thereby reducing the overall length of the closure cap 2.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the retaining component 24 includes: a locking member and a through hole 243;

[0043] The locking component is fixedly connected to the belt body 22;

[0044] Specifically, the locking component includes a column 241 and a ball 242; one end of the column 241 is fixedly connected to the belt 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the ball 242; the locking component is inserted into the through hole 243, so that the column 241 is located in the through hole 243, thereby keeping the closure cap 2 in a bent and stored state.

[0045] At least one through hole 243 is provided on the belt body 22;

[0046] Specifically, the band 22 has four through holes 243 evenly spaced along its length. The diameter of the through holes 243 is smaller than the diameter of the sphere 242. Since both the band 22 and the sphere 242 are made of silicone, both have the ability to deform elastically, allowing the sphere 242 to pass through the through holes 243. In other embodiments, the number of through holes 243 can be increased or decreased, depending on the actual situation. More specifically, the structure of the locking member and the through holes 243 can be seen in the structure of connecting two bracelets on an electronic watch.

[0047] When the operator needs to turn on faucet 1, the operator first removes cap 23 from the output end of faucet 1, then bends belt body 22 and inserts the locking piece into through hole 243, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, this keeps the cap 2 in a bent and retracted state, reducing the overall length of the cap 2 and positioning the cap 23 above the output end of the faucet 1, preventing the cap 23 from contacting the liquid and causing contamination when the faucet 1 is turned on. When the faucet 1 is turned off, the operator can also pull the locking piece out of the through hole 243 and then place the cap 23 on the output end of the faucet 1 to prevent dust from entering the inside of the faucet 1. Furthermore, in this embodiment, four through holes 243 are provided, allowing the operator to shorten the overall length of the cap 2 according to the actual situation. That is, the closer the locking piece is inserted into the through hole 243 of the connecting part 21, the shorter the overall length of the cap 2, thus adapting to the problem of different lengths of the output end of the faucet 1.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the retaining component 24 and the belt 22 are different.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the retaining component 24 includes: a connector 244 and a shielding portion 245;

[0051] The connector 244 is disposed on the belt 22, and the shielding part 245 is disposed on the connector 244;

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, one end of the connector 244 is fixedly connected to the belt 22, and the other end of the connector 244 is fixedly connected to the shielding part 245. The connector 244 and the shielding part 245 form an L-shape and are integrally molded. The shielding part 245 is elastic, and in the initial state, the movable end of the shielding part 245 abuts against the outer wall of the belt 22. The connector 244, the shielding part 245, and the belt 22 together form a receiving cavity 247.

[0053] It is understood that the side of the strap 22 near the cap 23 is inserted into the receiving cavity 247, thereby keeping the cap 2 in a bent and stored state.

[0054] Furthermore, the retaining component 24 also includes: a wedge-shaped portion 246

[0055] A wedge-shaped portion 246 is fixedly connected to the end of the shielding portion 245 away from the connecting body 244; the connecting body 244, the shielding portion 245, and the wedge-shaped portion 246 are integrally formed; one side of the belt body 22 is inserted into the wedge-shaped portion 246, and the belt body 22 will squeeze the wedge-shaped portion 246, thereby deforming the shielding portion 245. After being inserted into the receiving cavity 247, the shielding portion 245 resets and drives the wedge-shaped portion 246 to reset, so that the bottom of the wedge-shaped portion 246 abuts against the outer wall of the belt body 22, thereby inserting the belt body 22 into the receiving cavity 247; through the setting of the wedge-shaped portion 246, one side of the belt body 22 can be directly inserted into the receiving cavity 247 through the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped portion 246;

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the belt body 22 is divided into two sections, namely a wide body 221 and a narrow body 222. The width of the narrow body 222 is smaller than that of the wide body 221, and the width of the narrow body 222 is smaller than that of the receiving cavity 247, so that the narrow body 222 can be completely accommodated in the receiving cavity 247. The section near the cap 23 is the narrow body 222, and the section near the connecting part 21 is the wide body 221. The retaining component 24 is disposed on the wide body 221, and the narrow body 222 is used to be completely inserted into the receiving cavity 247.

[0057] Example 3:

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that component 24 remains the same;

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the retaining component 24 is composed of a metal sheet 249 for the strap 22. By bending the strap 22, the closing cap 2 is kept in a bent and stored state.

[0060] Specifically, the metal sheet 249 does not have elastic restoring properties. When the strip 22 is bent, the strip 22 will remain in the bent state.

[0061] Furthermore, the belt body 22 also includes a cover 48, which covers the outside of the metal sheet 249. The cover 48 is made of silicone. The cover 48 can prevent the operator from being scratched by contact with the metal sheet 249.

[0062] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. 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.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
