A type of dragon head

Abstract

This utility model provides a faucet, comprising: a faucet body; a water outlet releasably connected to the faucet body; a flexible hose connected to the water outlet and having a first magnetic component on the hose, the hose providing fluid to the water outlet; and a second magnetic component positioned on the faucet body such that when the water outlet is moved away from the faucet body to a holding position by an external force, the first magnetic component connects to the second magnetic component, thereby applying a magnetic force to the flexible hose to hold the water outlet in the holding position. In this holding position, the water outlet has already moved a certain distance away from the water outlet pipe. At this time, because the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are attracted to each other, the flexible hose is in a suspended state, and the user does not need to constantly exert force to hold the water outlet.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom products, specifically to a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Pull-out faucets greatly enhance the convenience of using kitchen sinks or basins (such as rinsing various areas and filling water over long distances) because their spout can be flexibly pulled out and moved. Their basic structure mainly includes a base and valve body fixed to the countertop, a spout pipe connecting the valve body and extending upwards, a spout head (spray nozzle) for the user to hold and operate, and a flexible water supply hose connecting the spout head to the internal water supply passage of the spout pipe. To achieve automatic reset of the spout head after use, most mainstream products on the market currently use a gravity reset mechanism. This involves a metal or high-density plastic weight connected to or passing through the hose, located inside a cabinet below the sink. The working principle is that the weight is lifted when the user pulls out the spout head. After releasing the grip, the hammer falls under its own weight, pulling the water outlet back to its initial position via the hose. However, this gravity-dependent reset mechanism has significant user experience drawbacks: during use, when holding the extended water outlet to perform various operations (such as prolonged rinsing, fine cleaning, or filling distant containers with water), users must continuously exert force to hold the outlet firmly to overcome the constant pulling force generated by the falling hammer. This continuous resistance to gravity requires the user's arm muscles (especially the forearm and upper arm) to maintain a state of exertion for a long time, which can easily cause soreness and fatigue in the arms, wrists, and even shoulders. This is especially noticeable for users with weaker strength (such as the elderly and children) or users who need to operate for extended periods. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a faucet that can suspend the water outlet.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a faucet, comprising:

[0005] The faucet body;

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the second magnetic component is a permanent magnet disposed within the support ring, and the first magnetic component is a permanent magnet or a ferromagnetic material disposed on the flexible tube.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] When the water outlet is moved away from the faucet body to a holding position by an external force, the first magnetic component on the hose is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic component, thereby applying a magnetic force to the hose to keep the water outlet in the holding position. In this holding position, the water outlet has already moved a certain distance from the water outlet pipe. At this time, because the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are attracted to each other, the hose is in a suspended state, and the user does not need to constantly exert force to hold the water outlet.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] First Embodiment

[0031] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a faucet, which includes a faucet body 1, a water outlet 2, a flexible hose 3, and a second magnetic component 4.

[0032] The second magnetic component 4 is disposed within the faucet body 1, and the flexible hose 3 passes through the faucet body 1. The faucet body 1 includes a base 11 and a water outlet pipe 12, the water outlet pipe 12 being connected to the base 11, and the water outlet head 2 being releasably connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 12; the second magnetic component 4 is disposed on the base 11. Specifically, the base 11 includes a base 111 and a connecting seat 112 disposed on the base 111, the flexible hose 3 extending through the connecting seat 112, the water outlet pipe 12 being rotatably disposed on the connecting seat 112, and the second magnetic component 4 being disposed on the connecting seat 112.

[0033] Specifically, the base 11 has a three-way pipe structure, the lower end of the connecting seat 112 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 11, and the lower end of the water outlet pipe 12 is rotatably sleeved on the base 11. The flexible hose 3 enters from the lower end of the base 11, passes through the connecting seat 112, and exits from the end of the water outlet pipe 12. The flexible hose 3 is connected to the water outlet head 2 and provides fluid through the water outlet head 2. The water outlet head 2 is releasably connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 12.

[0034] The flexible hose 3 has a first magnetic component 31, which is a permanent magnet or a ferromagnetic material disposed on the flexible hose 3. In this embodiment, the first magnetic component 31 is a permanent magnet disposed on the flexible hose 3. The flexible hose 3 includes a first tube body 32, a second tube body 33, and a connecting joint 34. The first tube body 32 and the second tube body 33 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting joint 34. The permanent magnet is formed in the connecting joint 34 by insert injection molding, and the permanent magnet is annular. Referring to 4, in some simpler alternatives, the first magnetic component 31 is a ferromagnetic material disposed on the flexible hose 3. More specifically, the first magnetic component 31 is an iron ring 35 disposed on the flexible hose 3. A rubber gasket 36 is also disposed between the iron ring 35 and the flexible hose 3 to enhance the friction between the iron ring 35 and the flexible hose 3.

[0035] The second magnetic component 4 is molded into the upper end of the connecting seat 112 by insert injection molding. When the water outlet 2 is moved away from the faucet body 1 to a holding position by external force, the first magnetic component 31 on the hose 3 is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic component 4, thereby applying a magnetic force to the hose 3 to keep the water outlet 2 in the holding position. In this holding position, the water outlet 2 has moved a certain distance from the end of the water outlet pipe 12. At this time, because the first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 4 are attracted, the hose 3 is in a suspended state, and the user does not need to constantly exert force to hold the water outlet 2. A counterweight 37 is also sleeved on the outside of the hose 3. When the hose 3 leaves the holding position, the counterweight 37 can drive the hose 3 and the water outlet 2 back to their initial state. The user can set the first magnetic component 31 at different positions on the hose 3 according to their needs to achieve different suspension positions of the hose 3.

[0036] Second Embodiment

[0037] See Figures 6-7 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second magnetic component 4 is disposed inside the water outlet pipe 12. The second magnetic component 4 is a permanent magnet disposed inside the water outlet pipe 12, and the first magnetic component 31 is a permanent magnet or ferromagnetic material disposed on the flexible hose 3. In this embodiment, a bushing 121 is provided at the end of the water outlet pipe 12, and the second magnetic component 4 is disposed on the bushing 121 and embedded inside the water outlet pipe 12.

[0038] Third Embodiment
