Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of faucets, and more particularly to a type of faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Pull-out faucets, a hallmark of modern kitchen and bathroom design, offer unparalleled operational freedom compared to traditional fixed faucets by connecting the spout to a built-in flexible tube. Users can pull the spout out of the base and hold it directly towards the area to be rinsed. This feature greatly facilitates cleaning the inside of the sink, washing hair, and rinsing food in the kitchen, leading to its widespread popularity and application.

[0003] However, while enjoying its flexibility, this product has long suffered from a significant user experience shortcoming in a core interactive aspect: the gripping and holding of the spout. Most pull-out faucets on the market currently feature smooth, streamlined or simple cylindrical designs for their spout shells. When users' hands are covered in water, foam, or oil, gripping these smooth surfaces is extremely slippery. This not only makes pulling out and retracting the faucet difficult and unsettling, but also forces users to continuously apply extra gripping force to prevent it from slipping out of their hands when rinsing in a specific direction. This anti-human design greatly impacts the comfort and convenience of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve user comfort, this application provides a faucet.

[0005] The faucet provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A faucet includes a body, a pipe, a water outlet, and a valve body. The body has an installation cavity, the pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity, one end of the pipe is connected to the water outlet, and the valve body is connected to the inner wall of the pipe for controlling the on / off state of the pipe. The outer wall of the water outlet has a groove for a finger to fit into.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a groove on the outer wall of the faucet spout that conforms to the shape of human fingers, the grip stability and comfort when operating with wet hands are significantly improved, effectively solving the problems of slippery and laborious operation of traditional smooth surface spouts.

[0007] Preferably, there are multiple grooves, and the multiple grooves are spaced apart along the length direction of the water outlet.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting multiple grooves at intervals along the length of the water outlet, the user's fingers can be precisely aligned with the matching grooves under different gripping positions and angles, thereby achieving omnidirectional and multi-grip comfortable gripping.

[0009] Preferably, the groove is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple grooves are evenly spaced around the axis of the water outlet.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple slots evenly arranged around the axis of the water outlet are used to achieve precise human-machine fit at any gripping angle. No matter what direction or posture the user uses to grab the water outlet, their fingers can naturally and comfortably fit into the corresponding slots. This not only greatly improves the convenience and intuitiveness of operation, but also ensures precise force application and effective anti-slip in wet and slippery environments when rotating or adjusting the angle, thus integrating a humanized experience into every interaction.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the groove is fixedly connected with anti-slip texture.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the user's finger is embedded in the groove and obtains macroscopic shape fit and support, the anti-slip texture can further break the water film between the finger and the contact surface of the groove bottom, greatly increasing the local friction, thus providing the ultimate anti-slip guarantee in the core force area, ensuring that even under extreme conditions of extreme wetness or full of foam, the grip remains stable and reliable, completely solving the risk of the water outlet slipping out of the hand.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the water outlet increases as it moves away from the pipe body.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the water outlet gradually increases as it moves away from the pipe body, forming an ergonomic and easy-to-grip conical structure. This shape not only naturally guides the fingers to the optimal gripping position of the groove, but also forms a natural anti-slip barrier when the user holds the device, thereby improving the stability and control of operation in both the axial and radial directions. At the same time, this gradually expanding shape also helps to optimize the water trajectory and improve the concentration and efficiency of the water jet.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a limiting tube, through which the tube body passes, with one end of the limiting tube rotatably connected to the main body around its own axis, and the other end of the limiting tube used for water head contact.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting tube that can rotate around its own axis is set on the main body, providing a stable support base for the water outlet head that can rotate freely 360 degrees. When the water outlet head abuts against the end of the limiting tube, the two together form a stable lever fulcrum, making it easier and more precise for users to adjust the water outlet angle, effectively avoiding disorderly twisting of the flexible tube body, and greatly improving the operating feel and product structural life.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes a magnetic ring, and the end of the limiting tube away from the main body is provided with an annular groove, the magnetic ring is disposed in the annular groove, and a stainless steel ring is fixedly connected to the end of the water outlet facing the tube body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a magnetic ring is embedded at the end of the limiting tube, and a stainless steel ring is set at the corresponding position of the water outlet. The magnetic attraction between the two enables the automatic, precise positioning and firm retention of the water outlet in the retracted state. This not only eliminates the shaking and abnormal noise caused by gravity or pipe torque, ensuring the overall aesthetics and cleanliness of the product, but also provides a clear initial tactile feedback when the user pulls out the water outlet. When retracting, the flexible magnetic attraction guides it to return to its position smoothly, greatly improving the quality and reliability during use.

[0019] Preferably, the end of the limiting tube facing away from the main body is provided with a strip groove, and there are multiple strip grooves. The multiple strip grooves are evenly spaced around the axis of the limiting tube. The end of the stainless steel ring facing the limiting tube is fixedly connected with a protrusion. There are multiple protrusions. The multiple protrusions are evenly spaced around the axis of the stainless steel ring. The strip groove is used for the protrusions to be embedded.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outlet shape of the water head is irregular, the water head can be rotated to meet the needs of different environments. The convex strip embedded in the strip groove makes it difficult for the water head to rotate relative to the temperature, which is convenient for users.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a temperature sensor and an indicator light, wherein the temperature sensor and the indicator light are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water outlet, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the indicator light.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the perceived water temperature can be directly fed back to the user through the color change of the indicator light (such as blue for cold water and red for hot water), so that people can accurately predict the temperature status before touching the water flow. This fundamentally avoids the risk of scalding due to excessively high water temperature or discomfort caused by excessively low water temperature, greatly improving the safety and ease of use of the product, especially for sensitive users such as children and the elderly.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting a groove on the outer wall of the faucet spout that fits the shape of human fingers, the grip stability and comfort when operating with wet hands are significantly improved, effectively solving the problems of slippery and difficult operation of traditional smooth surface spouts; 2. By embedding a magnetic ring at the end of the limiting tube and setting a stainless steel ring at the corresponding position of the water outlet, the magnetic attraction between the two enables the automatic, precise positioning and secure retention of the water outlet in the retracted state. This not only eliminates the shaking and abnormal noise caused by gravity or pipe torque, ensuring the overall aesthetics and cleanliness of the product, but also provides a clear initial tactile feedback when the user pulls out the water outlet. When retracting, the flexible magnetic attraction guides it to return to its position smoothly, greatly improving the quality and reliability during use. 3. When the outlet shape of the water head is irregular, the water head can be rotated to meet the needs of different environments. The protrusion embedded in the groove makes the position of the water head less prone to relative rotation, which is convenient for users. Attached Figure Description
