[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the tall hat according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 , Figure 2 This is a top view of the connector according to an embodiment of the present invention; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2This utility model provides a technical solution for a high-leg cap for quick-connect fastening of faucets, comprising: A sleeve shaft 1 includes a sleeve body 11 and an inner cavity 12 disposed within the sleeve body 11 to form an axially connected structure. The sleeve body 11 has protrusions 13 extending outward from its two symmetrical outer walls. An axial engaging groove 14 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve body 11 corresponding to the protrusions 13. The top of the sleeve body 11 has a connecting part 15, which is vertically connected to the sleeve body 11. The connecting part 15 has an inner peripheral wall. The connector 2 includes at least two corresponding connecting pieces 21. Each connecting piece 21 has a rotating part 22 at its bottom. The rotating part 22 can rotate circumferentially relative to the sleeve body 11 in the inner peripheral wall of the connecting part 15. The outer wall of the rotating part 22 has a locking part. Each end of the rotating part 22 has at least one locking piece 23. The corresponding rotating parts 22 are connected through the locking parts. The connecting part 15 and the rotating part 22 are provided with a locking part. When the connecting piece 21 is controlled to make the rotating part 22 rotate circumferentially relative to the inner peripheral wall of the connecting part 15, the locking part makes the sleeve shaft 1 and the connecting head 2 tightly locked.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the connector structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model, as shown below. Figure 3 The structure of the engaging portion according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0020] To achieve the engaging function, the engaging portion includes at least two first protrusions 240 correspondingly disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting portion 15, and a second engaging strip 242 and a third engaging strip 243 disposed circumferentially on the outer wall of the rotating portion 22. In this embodiment, the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243 are strip-shaped and extend circumferentially around the outer wall of the rotating portion 22. Two sets of first protrusions 240 are symmetrically disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting portion 15, with each set having two first protrusions 240 spaced apart. In this configuration, a first protrusion 241 is provided on the first protrusion 240 and on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting portion 15 between adjacent first protrusions 240. That is, each of the first protrusions 240 is provided with a first protrusion 241, and a first protrusion 241 is also provided between adjacent first protrusions 240 in any group. At the same time, the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243 are arranged vertically at intervals so that there is a limiting groove 244 between them for the first protrusion 241 to move along the circumferential path on the outer wall of the rotating portion 22.

[0021] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the tall hat according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 The structure of the tall hat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0022] To facilitate engagement, the top of the first protrusion 241 and the bottom of the second engagement strip 242 extend toward each other with inclined first engagement surfaces and second engagement surfaces, respectively. The first engagement surfaces and second engagement surfaces are used to guide the engagement of the sleeve shaft 1 and the connector 2. When connecting the sleeve shaft 1 and the connector 2, the inclined first engagement surfaces and second engagement surfaces can facilitate quick guidance and installation.

[0023] To ensure stable engagement, at least one side of the second engagement strip 242 and the third engagement strip 243 is provided with a limiting strip 247. One side of the limiting strip 247 has a limiting first surface. To further improve engagement stability, both the second engagement strip 242 and the third engagement strip 243 are provided with at least one locking groove 245. The locking groove 245 corresponds to the first protrusion 240 and is used for the installation of the connector and the sleeve shaft. During installation, the sleeve shaft 1 is first pushed vertically towards the connector 2 so that the first protrusion 240 is aligned with the locking groove 245. Then, the sleeve shaft 1 is rotated counterclockwise relative to the connector 2 and tightened, causing the first protrusion 240 to move circumferentially along the outer wall of the second engagement strip 242 and the third engagement strip 243 to maintain engagement stability.

[0024] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 247 is integrally disposed on at least one side of the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243. Therefore, when the limiting strip is located on either side of the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243, the side closer to the limiting groove 244 will serve as the inner wall of the limiting groove. This inner wall is the limiting first surface, which is used to restrict the circumferential rotation of the first protrusion 241 within the limiting groove 244. When the connecting part 15 rotates clockwise, the connecting head 2 is tightened onto the sleeve shaft 1, that is, the sleeve shaft 1 and the connecting head 2 are tightly engaged. The limiting groove 244 has a limiting first surface on the side facing the direction in which the sleeve shaft 1 is tightened. This limiting first surface is used to provide a first fastening force when the sleeve shaft 1 and the connecting head 2 are tightly engaged to restrict circumferential movement.

[0025] Specifically, during installation, the sleeve shaft 1 is first pushed vertically towards the connector 2 so that the first protrusion 240 is aligned with the locking groove 245. Then, it is rotated clockwise and counterclockwise for adjustment. When the rotating part 22 rotates in the inner peripheral wall of the connector 15, the first protrusion 241 moves circumferentially along the arc-shaped path of the limiting groove 244 until one side of the first protrusion 241 abuts against the limiting first surface, so that the first protrusion 241 can no longer move. At this time, the limiting first surface provides a first fastening force to restrict the movement of the first protrusion 241, that is, the sleeve shaft 1 and the connector 2 are tightened and reach a tight locking state.

[0026] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 247 is provided on either side of the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243, that is, the limiting strip 247 is provided on the side where the sleeve shaft 2 is tightened, and the locking grooves 245 are respectively provided on the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243 and are staggered and spaced apart.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the definition is as follows: Figure 3 The view is a top view, rotating clockwise and counterclockwise. That is, connector 2 is fixed, and sleeve shaft 1 rotates relative to connector 2. When sleeve shaft 1 rotates counterclockwise relative to connector 2, sleeve shaft 1 is tightened. When sleeve shaft 1 rotates clockwise relative to connector 2, sleeve shaft 1 is loosened.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 and Figure 7 To improve engagement stability, the inner wall of the rotating part 22 is provided with screw thread. To prevent loosening, the outer wall of the sleeve body 11 is wavy to limit circumferential rotation. To facilitate rotation, the top of the connecting piece 21 is stepped and a positioning groove 211 is provided along the circumference. An anti-slip rubber strip 212 is detachably provided in the positioning groove 211. When rotating, the contact area between the finger and the top of the connecting piece 21 increases, which improves the friction during rotation. At the same time, the anti-slip rubber strip 212 can further improve the friction during rotation and prevent the finger from sliding.

[0029] Example 2 For the sake of brevity, the parts that are the same as in Embodiment 1 will not be described again. The main focus here is on the structure that is different from Embodiment 1 of this utility model. The only difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is the engagement part.

[0030] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the sleeve shaft in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the structure of the sleeve shaft according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0031] To improve the engagement firmness, the bottom of the first protrusion 241 is respectively provided with elastic blocks 2411. As those skilled in the art will understand, the elastic blocks 2411 can be set at the bottom of the first protrusion 241 by means of insertion, engagement or other methods, but this application does not limit other installation methods. The elastic block 2411 extends toward the first protrusion 241 and has a limiting second surface, which is used to limit the up and down movement and provide a second fastening force when the cylinder shaft 1 and the connector 2 are tightly engaged.

[0032] Specifically, when the sleeve shaft 1 is pushed vertically into the connector 2, the bottom surfaces of the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243 contact the limiting second surface. The elastic block 2411 is compressed downward due to elastic deformation. When the first protrusion 241 engages into the limiting groove 244, the sleeve shaft 1 is in its current stable position. At this time, the elastic block 2411 expands due to elastic deformation, providing an upward second fastening force to the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243. This force holds the limiting second surface located on the top surface of the first protrusion 241, restricting the movement of the sleeve shaft 1, preventing loosening of the connection, and restricting the axial disengagement of the sleeve shaft 1.

[0033] Example 3 For the sake of brevity, the parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1 will not be described again. The main focus here is on the structure that is different from that in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. The only difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is the engagement part.

[0034] Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the tall hat in Embodiment 3 of this utility model, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the sleeve shaft according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0035] In this embodiment, two locking pieces 23 are provided at intervals above and below to reinforce the connection between the two rotating parts. The limiting strips 247 are respectively provided on both sides of the second locking strip 242 and the third locking strip 243. That is, a limiting strip 247 is provided on both sides of both, and is integrally formed with the second locking strip 242 and the third locking strip 243. The two limiting strips 247 are respectively located on the side where the sleeve shaft 1 is tightened or loosened, so that they can provide bidirectional limiting force, so that the first protrusion 241 can provide limiting force clockwise or counterclockwise when moving circumferentially along the arc path in the limiting groove 244, thereby improving stability.

[0036] Preferably, two slots 245 are provided and are circumferentially spaced on the second locking strip 242 and the third locking strip 243. One slot 245 is adjacent to the limiting strip 247 on one side, and the other slot 245 is spaced apart from it. The two slots 245 correspond to the first protrusion 240 on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting part 15.

[0037] During installation, first push the sleeve shaft 1 vertically towards the connector 2 so that the first protrusion 240 aligns with the locking groove 245. Then, tighten the sleeve shaft 1 by rotating it counterclockwise relative to the connector 2. To make it easier to tighten, the inner wall of the locking groove 245 is streamlined arc-shaped, making it easier for the first protrusion 240 to rotate circumferentially. At the same time, in order to reinforce the engagement between the connector and the sleeve shaft, fastening grooves 246 are provided on the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243 along the rotation direction in which the sleeve shaft is tightened. First, the first protrusion 240 is in the locking groove 245, and then moves circumferentially along the outer wall of the second engaging strip 242 and the third engaging strip 243, rotating through the streamlined arc-shaped locking groove 245 to the fastening groove 246, so that the first protrusion 240 is engaged therein, thereby improving the stability of the engagement.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
