Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of children's products, and specifically relates to a children's faucet extender. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, cultivating good handwashing habits in children is an important concern for parents. However, conventional faucet designs are primarily geared towards adult height and usage habits, with their spouts positioned high. Children often need to stand on tiptoe or be lifted by an adult to use them, posing safety hazards such as slipping and bumping, and reducing children's willingness to wash their hands independently. To overcome these problems, various faucet extenders or water-saving aerators have emerged on the market. These devices are typically fixed to the original faucet spout via threaded connections or clips, using a downward-extending tubular or funnel-shaped structure to guide the water flow to a lower, more forward position, making it easier for children to access the water independently. However, most existing child-friendly faucet extenders are relatively simple in function, only addressing the water flow position without fully considering children's psychological characteristics. They lack fun and interactivity, and the decorative parts do not swing back and forth with the water flow, making it difficult to effectively attract children's attention and stimulate their interest in washing their hands voluntarily. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a children's faucet extender. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to make the faucet extender move relative to the flow of water.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A children's faucet extender, including an extender body and a guide plate, wherein the guide plate is located below the extender body, the extender body includes a decorative shell at the front end, and the front end of the extender body is provided with a water outlet, characterized in that the decorative shell is provided with a deflecting impeller and a movable plate, the decorative shell and the movable plate cooperate to form a decorative part, the deflecting impeller is rotatably disposed at the water outlet, and the left and right ends of the deflecting impeller are connected to the movable plate through connecting plates, when water flows out from the water outlet, the deflecting impeller rotates and drives the movable plate to swing back and forth through the connecting plates.

[0005] This application introduces a faucet extender into the existing faucet, connecting the extender body to the faucet outlet to prevent water from flowing outwards. A guide plate below the extender body directs the water flow to a lower, more forward position. A decorative section at the front attracts children's attention during handwashing. Furthermore, an impeller at the outlet utilizes the potential energy of the flowing water to rotate, causing the impeller to reciprocate via a connecting plate, which in turn drives movable plates on either side of the decorative housing. This increased oscillation attracts children's attention and enhances the fun of handwashing, thereby stimulating their interest in it.

[0006] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, eccentric shafts are provided at both ends of the actuating impeller, and one end of the connecting plate is sleeved on the eccentric shaft. By rotating the eccentric shaft to drive the connecting plate to move up and down, the rotary motion is converted into the reciprocating up and down movement of the other end of the connecting plate, simplifying the structure.

[0007] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, the decorative housing includes a base and a cover, and the base and the cover are fixedly connected by a connecting post in the middle.

[0008] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, the movable plate includes a counterweight located within the base and a swinging part located outside the base. The other end of the connecting plate is connected to the counterweight, and the counterweight and the swinging part are connected via a hinge. The hinge is movably connected to the decorative housing. By providing a counterweight inside the decorative housing, the weight of the two parts of the movable plate can be balanced. The eccentric shaft on the impeller drives the movable plate to reciprocate via the connecting plate.

[0009] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, there are two movable plates, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the actuating impeller, and the counterweight is bent upwards. By bending the counterweight, interference between the two movable plates during simultaneous movement is avoided.

[0010] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, the extender body also includes a connecting part located at the rear end, which cooperates with the base of the decorative housing to form a hollow cavity.

[0011] In the aforementioned children's faucet extender, the agitator impeller is equipped with a rotating shaft and four blades. The four blades are evenly distributed circumferentially on the rotating shaft, and adjacent blades are perpendicular to each other. By setting four blades, the swinging motion is continuous and will not be damaged due to excessive speed.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This application sets a decorative shell at the front end of the connecting part and moves an impeller inside the decorative shell. The water flow drives the impeller to rotate, which drives the movable plate to swing back and forth. This echoes the cover on the decorative shell in appearance and forms a visual whole. This makes the faucet extender move relative to the water flow, increasing the fun of use. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a children's faucet extender includes an extender body 1 and a guide plate 2. The guide plate 2 is located below the extender body 1. The extender body 1 includes a decorative part 1a and a connecting part 1b. The connecting part 1b is located behind the decorative part 1a. The decorative part 1a includes a decorative shell 1a1 and a movable plate 1a2. The movable plate 1a2 is located on both sides of the decorative shell 1a1. The decorative shell 1a1 includes a cover 1a1a located at the front end and a base 1a1b. The base 1a1b is located between the cover 1a1a and the connecting part 1b.

[0017] like Figure 2As shown, the decorative outer shell 1a1 includes a cover 1a1a and a base 1a1b. A rotary impeller 3, a connecting plate 4, and a movable plate 1a2 are provided between the base 1a1b and the cover 1a1a. The connecting plate 4 and the movable plate 1a2 are located on both sides of the rotary impeller 3. The movable plate 1a2 includes a counterweight 1a2a and a swinging part 1a2b. The counterweight 1a2a and the swinging part 1a2b are connected by a hinge 1a2c. The base 1a1b is provided with a water outlet 1a3 and a hinge shaft. The water outlet 1a3 is located at the bottom of the base 1a1b.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the extender body 1 is provided with a connecting part 1b, a base 1a1b and a cover 1a1a in sequence from back to front. A deflecting impeller 3 and a movable plate 1a2 are provided between the cover 1a1a and the base 1a1b. The deflecting impeller 3 is rotatably disposed between the base 1a1b and the cover 1a1a. Both the cover 1a1a and the base 1a1b have water outlets 1a3 at their bottoms. The deflecting impeller 3 is located at the water outlet 1a3. The deflecting impeller includes a rotating shaft 3b and blades 3a located on the rotating shaft 3b. There are four blades 3a, and the four blades 3a are evenly arranged circumferentially with the rotating shaft 3b as the center. A guide plate 2 is provided below the extender body.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, the decorative outer shell 1a1 is provided with a rotary impeller 3, a connecting plate 4 and a movable plate 1a2. The movable plate 1a2 and the connecting plate 4 are located on both sides of the rotary impeller 3. An eccentric shaft 3c is provided on both sides of the rotary impeller 3. The movable plate 1a2 includes a counterweight part 1a2a, a swinging part 1a2b and a hinge part 1a2c. The counterweight part 1a2a is located inside the decorative outer shell 1a1, and the swinging part 1a2b is located outside the decorative outer shell 1a1. One end of the connecting plate 4 is sleeved on the eccentric shaft 3c and the other end is sleeved on the counterweight part 1a2a. The counterweight part 1a2a is bent upward.

[0020] In summary, this application, as a child-friendly faucet extender, connects to the faucet via a connecting part 1b on the extender body 1. Water flowing from the faucet enters the cavity formed by the connecting part 1b and the base 1a1b, and exits through the outlet 1a3 at the front of the cavity. Guided by the guide plate 2, the water flow is directed to a lower and more forward position. While this extender can guide the water flow to a suitable position, solving the problem of the faucet being too high or too far back, as a tool for children to use and to help them develop handwashing habits, it is relatively monotonous and fails to attract children's attention. To enhance the fun of this faucet extender, this application, based on existing extenders, adds a decorative outer shell 1a1 and a movable... The decorative part 1a, formed by the combination of plates 1a2, attracts children's attention through the appearance of the decorative shell 1a1. On this basis, a rotary impeller 3 is set inside the decorative shell of the decorative part 1a, and the eccentric shafts 3c on both sides of the rotary impeller 3 are connected to the movable plate 1a2 through the connecting plate 4. As water flows out from the outlet 1a3 at the bottom of the shell of the decorative part 1a, the water flows through the rotary impeller 3, causing the rotary impeller 3 to rotate. The rotary motion of the rotary impeller 3 is converted into the up and down linear motion of the connecting plate 4 through the eccentric shafts 3c on both sides of the rotary impeller 3. This, in turn, causes the movable plate 1a2 connected to the connecting plate 4 to swing back and forth. Combined with the shape of the decorative shell 1a1, the two echo each other in appearance, forming a visual whole and enhancing the fun of use.

[0021] It is worth mentioning that the movable plate 1a2 of this application includes a counterweight 1a2a located inside the decorative shell 1a1 and a swinging part 1a2b located outside. The swinging part 1a2b and the counterweight 1a2a are connected by a hinge 1a2c, so that the swinging part 1a2b responds to the decorative shell 1a1. By setting the counterweight 1a2a inside, the center of gravity of the movable plate 1a2 is located on the hinge 1a2c, so that the weight of the swinging part 1a2b and the counterweight 1a2a are coordinated. This makes it easy to drive the impeller 3 to drive the movable plate 1a2 to swing back and forth through the connecting plate 4, and bend the counterweight 1a2a upward. This avoids interference with other parts inside the decorative shell 1a1 and the other counterweight 1a2a, thus improving the user experience.
