Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, and in particular to a faucet and a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of water purification technology, smart display faucets are gradually becoming mainstream products in the market.

[0003] In related technologies, water purifier faucets are equipped with PE (Polyethylene) pipes inside, connecting the purifier body and the water outlet. During use, the PE pipes are prone to vibration and displacement under the impact of water flow, potentially colliding with other internal structural components of the faucet. This not only generates collision noise but also increases the risk of structural damage to the PE pipes, reducing the stability and reliability of the faucet and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to solve the problem in related technologies where the PE pipe inside the faucet is prone to vibration and displacement under the impact of water flow, thus affecting the user experience. To address this, this application provides a faucet and a water purifier.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a faucet, comprising:

[0006] The main body of the dragon head has functional cavities inside;

[0007] The column assembly is installed in the functional cavity;

[0008] A pipe clamp is provided in the functional cavity and detachably fixed to the column assembly, and a limit groove is provided on the pipe clamp;

[0009] The pipe assembly includes a water guide pipe and a quick connector, the quick connector being inserted into and limited by the limiting groove, and the quick connector and the faucet body being fixedly connected to opposite ends of the water guide pipe, respectively.

[0010] The faucet according to the first aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The faucet of this application, through the cooperation of the faucet body, the column assembly, and the pipe clamp, uses a limiting groove on its surface to engage with the quick connector, thus limiting the quick connector within the pipe clamp. Simultaneously, the pipe clamp is fixed to the column assembly of the faucet, ensuring the quick connector's stable position inside the faucet. Furthermore, by fixing the quick connector and the faucet body to opposite ends of the water pipe, the faucet body further constrains and fixes the quick connector at the other end of the water pipe within the limiting groove. This maintains the stability of the quick connector and the water pipe connected to the quick connector relative to the pipe clamp, effectively resisting vibration and displacement caused by water flow impact. This reduces the risk of water pipe vibration and displacement, minimizes noise from collisions between the water pipe and other structural components within the functional cavity, and reduces the risk of structural damage to the water pipe. This improves the faucet's stability and reliability, enhancing the user experience.

[0012] In some embodiments, the limiting groove has a base for supporting the quick connector.

[0013] With this configuration, the base provides limiting support for the quick connector to be inserted into the limiting groove. With the two ends of the water pipe fixedly connected to the quick connector and the faucet body respectively, the water pipe is indirectly kept in a stable position within the functional cavity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the limiting groove is provided with anti-slip protrusions or elastic pads.

[0015] This design improves the stability of the quick coupling's position on the pipe clamp.

[0016] In some embodiments, the pipe clamp is provided with an elastic buckle, and the column assembly is provided with a slot that engages with the elastic buckle.

[0017] This design allows the elastic clips on the pipe clamp and the locking tabs on the column assembly to engage, enabling the pipe clamp to be mounted on the column assembly and achieve self-locking. This ensures the pipe clamp is securely installed on the column assembly, simplifying the installation process and reducing the risk of the pipe clamp becoming loose or shifting on the column assembly. It also indirectly reduces the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp and the water pipe connected to the quick connector shifting relative to the column assembly, further improving the positional stability of the water pipe.

[0018] In some embodiments, the pipe clamp is further provided with a stop, and the column assembly is provided with a fastener, the fastener being detachably connected to the stop to lock the pipe clamp to the column assembly.

[0019] This design further reduces the risk of the pipe clamp becoming loose or shifting on the column assembly, correspondingly reducing the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp and the water pipe connected to the quick connector shifting relative to the column assembly, thus further improving the positional stability of the water pipe.

[0020] In some embodiments, the stop member has a connecting hole, the column assembly has an alignment port communicating with the connecting hole, the fastener passes through the alignment port and is detachably connected to the connecting hole, and the outer diameter of the end of the fastener away from the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of the alignment port.

[0021] This design serves two purposes. First, the detachable connection between the fastener and the stop, along with the locking connection between the elastic buckle and the bayonet, secures the pipe clamp to the column assembly, effectively reducing the risk of loosening or shifting. This, in turn, reduces the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp and the water pipe connected to it shifting relative to the column assembly, thus improving the stability of the water pipe. Second, it also facilitates unlocking the pipe clamp from the column assembly, making it easier to disassemble, install, and replace the clamp, thus facilitating the maintenance of the quick connector and enhancing the user experience.

[0022] In some embodiments, at least one of the resilient latches and at least one of the stops are arranged in a first column along the extension direction of the pipe clamp, and at least one of the resilient latches and at least one of the stops are arranged in a second column along the extension direction of the pipe clamp. At least one of the resilient latches in the first column and at least one of the stops in the second column are at the same height position on the pipe clamp, and at least one of the stops in the first column and at least one of the resilient latches in the second column are at the same height position on the pipe clamp.

[0023] With this configuration, the elastic clips and stops in the first and second columns are arranged in a crisscross pattern on the pipe clamp wall, forming a stable quadrilateral or multi-point support structure. When the pipe clamp is subjected to radial impact, the impact force is effectively transmitted to the column assembly through the elastic clips and stops in the two columns, preventing excessive stress on a single point or in a localized area. Furthermore, when the pipe clamp is subjected to axial impact, the crisscrossing support points on the pipe clamp can mutually restrain each other, greatly reducing the risk of twisting or displacement of the pipe clamp. Compared to a single row of elastic clips and / or a single row of stops, this configuration effectively improves the load-bearing and impact resistance of the pipe clamp, enhances the positional stability of the pipe clamp on the column assembly, and correspondingly improves the positional stability of the quick-connect coupling and the water pipe connected to the quick-connect coupling.

[0024] In some embodiments, the pipe clamp is provided with a positioning element, and the column assembly is provided with a positioning hole that engages with the positioning element.

[0025] With this configuration, the mating structure between the positioning element on the pipe clamp and the positioning hole on the column assembly can provide initial positioning for the pipe clamp to be assembled into the column assembly, which is conducive to accurately and securely assembling the pipe clamp into the column assembly.

[0026] In some embodiments, the pipe clamp is configured as an elastic structure.

[0027] This design allows the limiting groove on the pipe clamp to form an interference fit with the quick coupling.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides a water purifier, which includes the faucet described above.

[0029] The water purifier according to the second aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0030] The water purifier of this application, due to the configuration of the aforementioned faucet, also possesses the same technical effect as the faucet, namely, the cooperation of the pipe clamp and column assembly maintains the stability of the quick connector and the water guide pipe connected to the quick connector inside the faucet, enabling the water guide pipe to effectively resist the vibration and displacement tendency caused by the impact force of water flow, reducing the risk of vibration and displacement of the water guide pipe, reducing the noise generated by the collision between the water guide pipe and other structural components in the functional cavity, reducing the risk of damage to the water guide pipe structure, improving the stability and reliability of the faucet's use, and enhancing the user experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] With the popularization of water purification technology, smart display faucets are gradually becoming mainstream products in the market.

[0049] In related technologies, water purifier faucets are equipped with PE (Polyethylene) pipes inside, connecting the purifier body and the water outlet. During use, the PE pipes are prone to vibration and displacement under the impact of water flow, potentially colliding with other internal structural components of the faucet. This not only generates collision noise but also increases the risk of structural damage to the PE pipes, reducing the stability and reliability of the faucet and affecting the user experience.

[0050] Based on this, one or more embodiments of this application provide a faucet. Through the coordinated arrangement of the faucet body, column assembly, and pipe clamp, the pipe clamp, through its limiting groove, engages with the quick connector to limit the quick connector within the pipe clamp. Simultaneously, the pipe clamp is fixed to the column assembly of the faucet, ensuring the quick connector's stable position inside the faucet through the cooperation of the pipe clamp and column assembly. Furthermore, by fixing the quick connector and faucet body to opposite ends of the water pipe respectively, and relying on the faucet body's connection and fixation to one end of the water pipe, the quick connector at the other end of the water pipe is further constrained and fixed in the limiting groove. This ensures the quick connector and the water pipe connected to the quick connector remain stable relative to the pipe clamp, allowing the water pipe to effectively resist vibration and displacement caused by water flow impact, reducing the risk of water pipe vibration and displacement, minimizing noise caused by collisions between the water pipe and other structural components within the functional cavity, reducing the risk of damage to the water pipe structure, improving the faucet's stability and reliability, and enhancing the user experience.

[0051] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a faucet, which includes a faucet body 100, a column assembly 200, a pipe clamp 300, and a pipe assembly 500.

[0052] The faucet body 100 has a functional cavity 110 inside. The column assembly 200 is installed in the functional cavity 110, and the pipe clamp 300 is located in the functional cavity 110 and is detachably fixed to the column assembly 200. The pipe clamp 300 has a limiting groove 310.

[0053] The pipe assembly 500 includes a water guide pipe (not shown in the figure) and a quick connector (not shown in the figure). The quick connector is inserted into and limited by the limiting groove 310. The quick connector and the faucet body 100 are fixedly connected to opposite ends of the water guide pipe, respectively.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this application, the faucet body 100 refers to the main outer shell of the faucet, which serves to support and protect the internal structure of the faucet, while also providing decorative and waterproofing effects. The faucet body 100 can be a hollow metal tube, such as a copper tube or a stainless steel tube, and its internal cavity is the functional cavity 110.

[0055] The support column assembly 200 refers to the structure that is installed within the functional cavity 110 of the faucet body 100 and serves to support and fix it. The support column assembly 200 may include a support column tube, a fixing base, a sealing ring, and other structures. The support column assembly 200 is fixedly installed within the functional cavity 110 of the faucet body 100, exhibiting good structural stability and reliability. The overall structural material of the support column assembly 200 is the same as that of the faucet body 100, and both possess good structural strength.

[0056] In this application, pipe clamp 300 refers to a structure used to limit and fix pipe assembly 500. The water pipe is a water pipe, such as a PE pipe, that passes through the functional cavity 110 inside the faucet body 100. Pipe clamp 300 can be fixed to column assembly 200 by means of detachable structures such as clips and bolts, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and replacement of pipe clamp 300.

[0057] Pipe clamp 300 can be, but is not limited to, a structure with elastic deformation capabilities such as rubber pipe clamp, plastic pipe clamp, or silicone pipe clamp, giving pipe clamp 300 the ability to deform and recover deformation. Pipe clamp 300 can be U-shaped, C-shaped, round, square, etc., with no specific limitations.

[0058] The limiting groove 310 on the pipe clamp 300 is shaped to fit the quick coupling. The quick coupling is a standard quick coupling for water pipes, which can quickly form a fixed connection with the water pipe and can also quickly disconnect the water pipe under external force.

[0059] The quick connector being inserted into and limited by the limiting groove 310 can be understood as follows: the quick connector is interference-fitted with the limiting groove 310, and / or the quick connector is fixedly inserted into the limiting groove 310 by a snap-fit; and / or the quick connector connected to the other end of the water pipe is constrained and limited within the limiting groove 310 by the fixed connection between the faucet body 100 and one end of the water pipe.

[0060] In addition, the pipe clamp 300, through the limiting groove 310 and the limiting engagement with the quick connector, not only tightly secures the quick connector to the pipe clamp 300, but also works with the pipe clamp 300 to fix it to the column assembly 200, forming a double fixation for the quick connector. This effectively reduces the risk of vibration and displacement of the quick connector and the water pipe connected to it. Multiple limiting grooves 310 can be provided on the pipe clamp 300 to accommodate the number of quick connectors.

[0061] From the above description, it is easy to understand that the faucet in this embodiment of the application, through the cooperation of the faucet body 100, the column assembly 200, and the pipe clamp 300, uses the limiting groove 310 on the pipe clamp 300 to limit the quick connector within the pipe clamp 300, and at the same time, fixes the pipe clamp 300 to the column assembly 200 of the faucet, so that the pipe clamp 300 and the column assembly 200 cooperate to maintain the position of the quick connector inside the faucet. Furthermore, by fixing the quick connector and the faucet body 100 to the opposite ends of the water pipe respectively, the faucet body 100... By fixing one end of the water pipe to the connection, the quick connector at the other end of the water pipe is further constrained and fixed in the limiting groove 310, so that the quick connector and the water pipe connected to the quick connector remain stable relative to the pipe clamp 300. This allows the water pipe to effectively resist the vibration and displacement caused by the impact of water flow, reducing the risk of vibration and displacement of the water pipe. It also reduces the noise generated by the water pipe colliding with other structural components in the functional cavity, and reduces the risk of damage to the water pipe structure. This improves the stability and reliability of the faucet and enhances the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 The limiting groove 310 has a base 311, which is used to support the quick connector.

[0063] Specifically, the limiting groove 310 can form an interference fit with the quick coupling.

[0064] For example, one end of the limiting groove 310 is U-shaped or C-shaped, and this end has an opening. The width of the opening is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the quick connector, and the two ends of the opening are the two opposite sidewalls of the limiting groove 310. The pipe clamp 300 is an elastic structure. For example, if the pipe clamp 300 is made of plastic injection molding, it is a plastic body.

[0065] In its natural state, the pipe clamp 300's limiting groove 310 is empty and not connected to the quick connector. When the pipe clamp 300 is engaged with the quick connector, the quick connector can be partially inserted into the limiting groove 310 from the opening between the two side walls at the end of the limiting groove 310, pre-opening the end of the limiting groove 310. Then, the quick connector is operated to slide along the limiting groove 310 to the bottom support 311 of the limiting groove 310, where it is supported. During this process, the limiting groove 310 is gradually opened up as a whole, eventually causing the limiting groove 310 to expand outward in a radial direction. The elastic force of the limiting groove 310's radial recovery deformation tightly presses the quick connector, forming a stable interference fit between the limiting groove 310 and the quick connector.

[0066] It is easy to understand that after the limiting groove 310 and the quick connector form a stable interference fit, the connection and fixation of one end of the water pipe by the faucet body 100 further constrains and fixes the quick connector at the other end of the water pipe to the limiting groove 310, so that the position of the quick connector and the water pipe connected to the quick connector relative to the pipe clamp 300 remains stable.

[0067] Understandably, the above structure allows the base 311 to provide limiting support for the quick connector to be inserted into the limiting groove 310. With the two ends of the water pipe fixedly connected to the quick connector and the faucet body 100 respectively, the water pipe is indirectly kept in a stable position within the functional cavity 110.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the limiting groove 310 is provided with anti-slip protrusions (not shown in the figure) or elastic pads (not shown in the figure).

[0069] In some embodiments, the anti-slip protrusions can be multiple raised ridges distributed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 310. The anti-slip protrusions can increase the static friction between the pipe clamp 300 and the quick connector, and improve the positional stability of the quick connector and the water guide pipe within the functional cavity 110.

[0070] In some embodiments, the elastic gasket can be a silicone gasket, a rubber gasket, or the like that attached to the inner wall of the limiting groove 310. It can also increase the static friction between the pipe clamp 300 and the quick connector, enhance the clamping force of the limiting groove 310 on the quick connector, and improve the positional stability of the quick connector and the water guide pipe in the functional cavity 110.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pipe clamp 300 is provided with an elastic buckle 320, and the column assembly 200 is provided with a slot 210 that cooperates with the elastic buckle 320.

[0072] Specifically, the pipe clamp 300 is constructed as an elastic structure, such as a rubber body or a silicone body. The elastic buckle 320 is integrally molded with the pipe clamp 300, simplifying the molding process of both the pipe clamp 300 and the elastic buckle 320. The elastic buckle 320 is L-shaped, and its length direction is consistent with the axial or radial direction of the pipe clamp 300. The elastic buckle 320 has a hook, and the shape of the latch 210 is adapted to the hook of the elastic buckle 320.

[0073] It is easy to understand that when the pipe clamp 300 is assembled to the column assembly 200, the elastic deformation of the elastic buckle 320 causes the hook of the elastic buckle 320 to enter the bayonet 210 of the column assembly 200 and then spring back to form a stop engagement with the bayonet 210. The bayonet 210 creates mechanical interference with the elastic buckle 320, thereby forming a limiting connection between the pipe clamp 300 and the column assembly 200, preventing the pipe clamp 300 from moving relative to the column assembly 200 along its own axial or radial direction.

[0074] Understandably, the cooperation between the elastic buckle 320 on the pipe clamp 300 and the bayonet 210 on the column assembly 200 enables the pipe clamp 300 to be assembled on the column assembly 200 and achieve self-locking on the column assembly 200. This makes the pipe clamp 300 more securely installed on the column assembly 200, simplifies the installation process of the pipe clamp 300, reduces the risk of the pipe clamp 300 becoming loose or shifting on the column assembly 200, and indirectly reduces the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp 300 and the water pipe shifting relative to the column assembly 200, further improving the positional stability of the water pipe.

[0075] Furthermore, see also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The pipe clamp 300 is also provided with a stop 330, and the column assembly 200 is provided with a fastener 220. The fastener 220 and the stop 330 are detachably connected to lock the pipe clamp 300 to the column assembly 200.

[0076] Specifically, the stop 330 can be threadedly connected to the fastener 220, which is a bolt or screw, and the stop 330 is provided with a threaded portion that mates with the fastener 220.

[0077] By engaging the fastener 220 on the column assembly 200 with the stop 330 on the pipe clamp 300, the pipe clamp 300 can be further fixed to the column assembly 200. The locking connection of the fastener 220 to the pipe clamp 300 directly eliminates the degree of freedom of movement of the pipe clamp 300, further reducing the risk of the pipe clamp 300 loosening or shifting on the column assembly 200. Correspondingly, it reduces the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp 300 and the water pipe connected to the quick connector shifting relative to the column assembly 200, further improving the positional stability of the water pipe.

[0078] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The stop 330 has a connecting hole 331, and the column assembly 200 has an alignment port 230 communicating with the connecting hole 331. The fastener 220 passes through the alignment port 230 and is detachably connected to the connecting hole 331. The outer diameter of the end of the fastener 220 away from the connecting hole 331 is larger than the diameter of the alignment port 230.

[0079] Specifically, the stop 330 is a threaded post with one open and one closed side, perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipe clamp 300, and the connecting hole 331 is an internally threaded hole formed in the middle of the stop 330. The alignment port 230 on the column assembly 200 is also a threaded hole. The fastener 220 includes an integrally connected head and a shank, with the head of the fastener 220 being the end of the fastener 220 away from the connecting hole 331. When assembling the pipe clamp 300, the elastic snap 320 on the pipe clamp 300 is first locked to the bayonet 210 of the column assembly 200, and then the shank of the fastener 220 is passed through the alignment port 230 and the connecting hole 331 and threadedly connected to the alignment port 230 and the connecting hole 331. The head of the fastener 220 is limited by the outer diameter stop of the end of the connecting hole 331. In this way, the pipe clamp 300 is locked onto the column assembly 200.

[0080] In the above structure, on the one hand, the pipe clamp 300 is locked onto the column assembly 200 by the detachable connection between the fastener 220 and the connecting hole 331 of the stop 330 and the locking connection between the elastic buckle 320 and the bayonet 210, which effectively reduces the risk of the pipe clamp 300 loosening or shifting on the column assembly 200. This reduces the probability of the quick connector on the pipe clamp 300 and the water pipe connected to the quick connector shifting relative to the column assembly 200, thus improving the positional stability of the water pipe. On the other hand, it also facilitates the unlocking of the pipe clamp 300 from the column assembly 200, making it easier to disassemble, install, and replace the pipe clamp 300, which is convenient for maintaining the quick connector on the pipe clamp 300 and improving the user experience.

[0081] Further, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 At least one elastic buckle 320 and at least one stop 330 are arranged in a first column along the extension direction of the pipe clamp 300, and at least one elastic buckle 320 and at least one stop 330 are arranged in a second column along the extension direction of the pipe clamp 300. At least one elastic buckle 320 on the first column and at least one stop 330 on the second column are at the same height position on the pipe clamp 300. At least one stop 330 on the first column and at least one elastic buckle 320 on the second column are at the same height position on the pipe clamp 300.

[0082] Specifically, the extension direction of the pipe clamp 300 is the same as its length. There are two elastic latches 320 and two stoppers 330. One elastic latch 320 and one stopper 330 are arranged in a first row along the extension direction of the pipe clamp 300, and the other elastic latch 320 and the other stopper 330 are arranged in a second row along the extension direction of the pipe clamp 300. The first and second rows are parallel and spaced apart. The elastic latches 320 in the first row and the stoppers 330 in the second row are at the same height on the pipe clamp 300, and the stoppers 330 in the second row are at the same height on the pipe clamp 300. The bayonet 210 and the fastener 220 on the column assembly 200 are arranged correspondingly. The stopper 330 and the fastener 220 are threaded together.

[0083] With the above structure, when the pipe clamp 300 is installed on the column assembly 200, the elastic buckles 320 on the first and second columns of the pipe clamp 300 are first pressed into the corresponding slots 210 on the column assembly 200. When each elastic buckle 320 and the corresponding slot 210 form a stop and limit, it indicates that the pipe clamp 300 has been initially clamped on the column assembly 200 and will not fall off. Then, each fastener 220 on the column assembly 200 is tightened with the corresponding thread to the stop 330 on the first and second columns to complete the final fixation of the pipe clamp 300 and lock the pipe clamp 300 on the column assembly 200.

[0084] The elastic deformation of the resilient snap-fit ​​320 provides a continuous clamping force, effectively absorbing and buffering vibrations from the overall faucet system structure, reducing the risk of loosening and displacement of the pipe clamp 300 due to system vibrations. The locking engagement between the stop 330 and the fastener 220 provides greater mechanical locking force, improving the connection rigidity between the pipe clamp 300 and the post assembly 200. Furthermore, the dynamic vibration stress (faucet mechanical vibration) on the post assembly 200 can be borne and dissipated by the resilient snap-fit ​​320, while the static load on the post assembly 200 is borne by the threaded structure between the stop 330 and the fastener 220, thus significantly improving the connection reliability between the pipe clamp 300 and the post assembly 200.

[0085] Furthermore, in the aforementioned structure, the elastic clips 320 and stoppers 330 in the first and second columns are arranged crosswise on the wall of the pipe clamp 300, forming a stable quadrilateral or multi-point support structure. When the pipe clamp 300 is subjected to radial impact force (such as water flow impact pressure), the impact force is effectively transmitted to the column assembly 200 through the elastic clips 320 and stoppers 330 in the two columns, preventing the pipe clamp 300 from experiencing excessive stress at a single point or in a localized area. In addition, when the pipe clamp 300 is subjected to axial impact force (such as water flow impact pressure), the crosswise arranged support points on the pipe clamp 300 can restrain each other, greatly reducing the risk of the pipe clamp 300 twisting or shifting. Compared with a single row of elastic clips 320 and / or a single row of stoppers 330, this can effectively improve the load-bearing and impact resistance of the pipe clamp 300, improve the positional stability of the pipe clamp 300 on the column assembly 200, and correspondingly improve the positional stability of the quick connector and the water pipe connected to the quick connector.

[0086] See also some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The pipe clamp 300 is provided with a positioning element 340, and the column assembly 200 is provided with a positioning hole 240 that is fitted through and cooperates with the positioning element 340.

[0087] Specifically, the positioning element 340 is a positioning rib, and the positioning element 340 and the pipe clamp 300 are integrally formed. The positioning hole 240 is a hole-shaped structure that mates with the positioning rib. There are two positioning elements 340, located on the first and second rows of the pipe clamp 300, respectively. The positioning element 340 on the first row is located between the elastic buckle 320 and the stop element 330 on the first row, and the positioning element 340 on the second row is located between the elastic buckle 320 and the stop element 330 on the second row.

[0088] It is easy to understand that the mating structure between the positioning element 340 on the pipe clamp 300 and the positioning hole 240 on the column assembly 200 can provide initial positioning for the pipe clamp 300 to be assembled into the column assembly 200, which is conducive to accurately and securely assembling the pipe clamp 300 into the column assembly 200.

[0089] In addition, this application also provides a water purifier, which includes the faucet of any of the above embodiments.

[0090] Specifically, the faucet is mounted on the water purifier. The faucet also includes a display component 400, which is assembled and connected to the faucet body 100. The display component 400 is used to display the status parameters of the water purifier, including water temperature, real-time flow rate, and cumulative water consumption.

[0091] It is understood that the water purifier of this application embodiment, due to the configuration of the aforementioned faucet, also has the same technical effect brought by the faucet, that is, the pipe clamp 300 and the column assembly 200 cooperate to maintain the stability of the quick connector and the water guide pipe connected to the quick connector inside the faucet, so that the water guide pipe can effectively resist the vibration and displacement tendency caused by the impact force of water flow, reduce the risk of vibration and displacement of the water guide pipe, reduce the noise generated by the collision between the water guide pipe and other structural components in the functional cavity 110, reduce the risk of damage to the water guide pipe structure, improve the stability and reliability of the faucet, and enhance the user experience.
