Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Pull-out faucets greatly enhance the convenience of using kitchen sinks or basins due to their flexible, pull-out spout (e.g., rinsing various areas, filling water over long distances). 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

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] See Figures 1-7 A faucet, the faucet comprising a faucet body 1, a water outlet 2, and a hose 3.

[0027] The faucet body 1 includes a base 11 and a spring tube 12. The base 11 has a three-way pipe structure and is suitable for fixed installation on a countertop. The lower end of the spring tube 12 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base 11. The base 11 is provided with a valve assembly 13, which includes a valve core mounted on the base 11 and a control handle connected to the valve core. One end of a flexible hose 3 is connected to the valve assembly 13, which supplies fluid to the hose 3. The hose 3 provides fluid to the water outlet 2. The other end of the hose 3 enters from the lower end of the base 11 and exits from the end of the spring tube 12, and is connected to the water outlet 2. A counterweight 4 is fitted onto the hose 3 located below the base 11. The counterweight 4 can pull the hose 3 to abut the end of the spring tube 12, so that the water outlet 2 can be releasably connected to the end of the water outlet pipe.

[0028] The flexible hose 3 is provided with a retaining ring 31. The retaining ring 31 is sleeved on the outer side of the flexible hose 3. In this embodiment, a riveting support member 33 is also provided on the inner side of the flexible hose 3 corresponding to the retaining ring 31. The retaining ring 31 is riveted onto the flexible hose 3 to be supported on the riveting support member 33. (See reference...) Figure 7 In some simpler replacements, a rubber gasket 32 ​​is also provided between the locking ring 31 and the outer side of the hose 3.

[0029] The faucet body 1 also includes a support frame 14, one end of which is rotatably connected to the base 11. A support ring 141 is provided at the end of the support frame 14, and a snap-fit ​​ring wall 142 is disposed on the support ring 141. The snap-fit ​​ring wall 142 includes a snap-fit ​​side 1421 facing away from the faucet body 1. The water outlet 2 can have a first position and a second position relative to the snap-fit ​​ring wall 142. In the first position, the water outlet 2 abuts against the snap-fit ​​side 1421 of the snap-fit ​​ring wall 142. In the second position, the water outlet 2 is a distance away from the snap-fit ​​ring wall 142, and the snap-fit ​​ring 31 abuts against the snap-fit ​​side 1421 of the snap-fit ​​ring wall 142.

[0030] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​side 1421 faces downward. The user can pull the water outlet 2 so that the water outlet 2 moves away from the end of the spring tube 12. At this time, the water outlet 2 can abut against the snap-fit ​​side 1421 of the snap-fit ​​ring wall 142 to be in the first position. The user can continue to pull the water outlet 2 so that the locking ring 31 on the hose 3 abuts against the snap-fit ​​side 1421 to be in the second position.

[0031] The snap-fit ​​ring wall 142 defines a through hole 1422, and a notch 1423 is formed on one side of the through hole 1422, through which the flexible hose 3 can pass. The snap-fit ​​ring wall 142 includes a first side wall 1424 and a second side wall 1425, with the notch 1423 formed between the first side wall 1424 and the second side wall 1425. The first side wall 1424 and the second side wall 1425 are inclined towards each other, and the distance between the first side wall 1424 and the second side wall 1425 gradually increases in the direction away from the through hole 1422. The gradual increase in the distance between the first side wall 1424 and the second side wall 1425 in the direction away from the through hole 1422 facilitates the reception of the flexible hose 3, making it easy for the flexible hose 3 to pass through the notch 1423.

[0032] During use, the hose 3 can be inserted into the through hole 1422 from the notch 1423, so that the locking ring 31 or the water outlet 2 can be located below the locking side. Releasing the water outlet 2 will allow the locking ring 31 or the water outlet 2 to abut against the locking side, thereby achieving the hook-type suspension of the water outlet 2.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
