Example 2

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 12 This is a faucet structure as Embodiment 2 of the present invention, which adopts the valve core fixing structure of a faucet in Embodiment 1. The faucet structure also includes a support component 60, and the body 10 is rotatably connected to the support component 60. The support component 60 includes a column 61, and the body 10 has a rotatable connection part 15, which is embedded in the inner side of the column 61.

[0033] The support assembly 60 also includes a damping device 62 disposed on the column 61 and a fixing device 63 disposed on the column 61 for restricting the rotation of the body 10. The fixing device 63 is disposed on the column 61 to prevent the body 10 from moving along the central axis of the column 61.

[0034] Please refer to the details. Figure 6 , 7 8. The rotating connecting part 15 is integrally formed on the body 10. The rotating connecting part 15 is provided with a connecting groove 151. The fixing device 63 includes a limiting piece 631 located in the connecting groove 151 and a fixing member 632 for setting the limiting piece 631 on the inner side wall of the column 61. The fixing member 632 passes through the first through hole 611 and is connected to the limiting piece 631. During the rotation of the body 10, the limiting piece 631 remains stationary under the action of the fixing member 632. The connecting groove 151 restricts the rotation angle of the body 10. Through the cooperation of the limiting piece 631 and the connecting groove 151, the body 10 can rotate within a range of 180°. Specifically, the fixing member 632 is a bolt. The bolt is inserted into the first through hole 611 from the outer wall of the column 61 and then threadedly connected to the limiting piece 631. The limiting piece 631 is provided with a first internal threaded hole for connection with the bolt. During installation, the limiting piece is first placed into the connecting groove 151, and then the connecting part 15 is rotated to embed into the column 61, with the first internal threaded hole corresponding to the first through hole 611. Then, the fixing member 632 is inserted into the first through hole 611 and connected to the first internal threaded hole on the limiting piece 631. After installation, the limiting piece 631 is restricted to the inner wall of the column 61 by the fixing member 632. Under the action of the connecting groove 151, the rotation angle of the body 10 is restricted. In order to make the rotation smoother, the outer surface of the limiting piece is adapted to the inner wall of the column 61, and its inner surface is adapted to the surface of the connecting groove 151, and the whole is arc-shaped.

[0035] Please refer to the details. Figure 6 , 7 8, 9. The damping device 62 is disposed between the column 61 and the body 10 and sleeved on the outside of the rotating connection 15 to ensure that a certain external force is required to rotate the body 10, preventing the connection between the body 10 and the column 61 from becoming too loose, and also reducing the noise generated by rotation. The damping device 62 includes a bushing 621 disposed between the body 10 and the column 61, and a damping element 622 disposed on the inner side wall of the bushing 621 and sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating connection 15. The damping element 622 is made of POM material. The damping element 622 has a first notch 6221. After the damping element 622 is installed in place, friction is generated between the body 10 and the damping element 622 during the rotation of the body 10. The inner side of the damping element 622 has a through hole 221, and an annular step is provided below the outer wall to make the outer surface of the damping element 622 step-like. The inner side wall of the bushing 621 is provided with a pressure groove 6211 corresponding to the annular step 6222 so that the inner surface of the bushing 621 is also step-like. The height of the annular step 6222 is greater than the height of the pressure groove 6211 so that after the damping element 622 and the bushing 621 are installed in place, the pressure groove 6211 of the bushing 621 and the upper end face of the column 61 apply pressure to the annular step 6222 to prevent the damping element 622 from rotating during the rotation of the body 10 along the central axis of the body 10.

[0036] Please refer to the details. Figure 7 , 8 To ensure stable and long-term rotation, the outer wall of the rotating connection part 15 is provided with annular grooves 152 for installing sealing rings both below and above the connecting groove 151. When the rotating connection part 15 is installed, the sealing ring is fitted to prevent water from entering the connecting groove 151 and improve the sealing performance.

[0037] Please refer to the details. Figure 6 , 10 The faucet structure also includes a top cover 70 located at the opening on the upper part of the body 10, a panel 80 located on the surface of the top cover 70, and a second locking member 90 for fixing / restricting the panel 80 to the top cover 70. Several latches 71 are provided on the side of the top cover 70, and a slot 16 for the latches 71 to be inserted is provided on the inner side of the upper part of the body 10. Each latch 71 includes a vertical portion, a hook portion located below the vertical portion and on the outer side, and an inclined surface below the hook portion to facilitate insertion of the hook portion into the slot 16.

[0038] Please refer to the details. Figure 11 , 12The panel 80 is provided with several mounting posts 81, and the upper cover 70 is provided with a first mounting groove 72 corresponding to the mounting posts 81. A second through hole 73 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting groove 72, and a second locking member 90 passes through the second through hole 73 and connects to the mounting post 81. Specifically, a second internal threaded hole is provided on the inner side of the mounting post 81, and the second locking member 90 can be a bolt. The bolt passes through the second through hole 73 and is threadedly connected to the mounting post 81 in the mounting. The outer wall of the mounting post 81 is conical, corresponding to the inner side of the first mounting groove 72 being conical. At the same time, a second notch 811 is provided on the mounting post 81. When the locking is rotated, the end face of the mounting post 81 moves closer to the bottom of the first mounting groove 72, and the gap of the second notch 811 decreases, which can effectively prevent the second locking member 90 from loosening, so that the panel 80 is better fixed on the upper cover 70. In this utility model, four mounting posts 81 and four first mounting grooves 72 are provided. In this utility model, after the first panel 80 is installed on the upper cover 70 by the locking member, the upper cover 70 is then fastened to the opening above the main body 10.

[0039] In summary, the valve core fixing structure of the faucet of this utility model directly sets the valve core seat in the body, and uses the positioning step and positioning groove for positioning, the first support platform to support the second support platform, and the first locking member to lock the valve core seat to the body. During the rotation of the body, the valve core seat is driven to rotate. The overall structure is simpler and the assembly efficiency is high.
