Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, specifically to a faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Faucets are widely used devices in bathroom and kitchen appliances for controlling water flow. The basic structure of existing faucets typically includes a faucet body and a decorative cover. The faucet body, as the core component, houses a valve assembly (such as a ceramic valve core) for switching and regulating water flow. The decorative cover is fastened to the faucet body with fasteners (such as screws or bolts) to cover the internal mechanical structure and provide an aesthetic appearance. During installation, the valve assembly is first fixed to the faucet body, then the decorative cover is connected to the faucet body using fasteners, and finally the handle assembly is attached to complete the assembly. However, this traditional structure has significant drawbacks. First, when inspecting or replacing the valve assembly, operators must disassemble the handle assembly and fasteners sequentially to remove the decorative cover and access the internal valve assembly. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, increasing maintenance costs and increasing the risk of damage to parts or installation errors during disassembly, affecting the faucet's reliability and lifespan. Secondly, because the decorative cover plate needs to be connected to the faucet body via fasteners, the faucet body must be designed with sufficient thickness to accommodate these fasteners in order to ensure structural stability. This limits the development of thinner faucet bodies. Therefore, existing faucets cannot achieve a thinner and more stylish appearance, making it difficult to meet modern consumers' demands for minimalist aesthetics and space optimization, thus reducing the product's competitiveness in the high-end market.

After the handle 533 is connected to the handle base 532, the fastener 52 is completely concealed, resulting in a compact and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0054] The connecting channel 5321 extends vertically, and the mounting opening 5322 extends laterally along the handle base 532. Therefore, after disconnecting the fastener 52 from the connecting rod 51, the handle base 532 can be easily separated vertically. Since the mounting opening 5322 extends laterally along the handle base 532, the handle base 532 will not be obstructed vertically after the fastener 52 is removed, and can be easily removed.

[0055] The handle seat 532 can drive the connecting rod 51 to rotate, thereby driving the valve shaft 1311 to rotate and controlling the valve core 131. The decorative cover plate 3 is provided with a rotating hole 31, which corresponds to the connecting rod 51. The lower end of the handle seat 532 is provided with a rotating post 5323 that can be inserted into the rotating hole 31. The rotating post 5323 is rotatably disposed in the rotating hole 31. The pressing surface 531 presses against the upper edge of the rotating hole 31.

[0056] In this embodiment, the mounting opening 5322 includes an inner mounting section 5324 connecting the connecting channel 5321 and an outer mounting section 5325 connecting the handle 533; the fastener 52 is a screw, which is threadedly connected to the inner mounting section 5324, and the end of the screw is connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 51; the handle 533 is threadedly connected to the outer mounting section 5325.

[0057] When inspecting and replacing the valve assembly 13 of the faucet, disconnect the fastener 52 from the connecting pipe, and then remove the handle body 53 from the decorative cover 3. Since the decorative cover 3 is pressed onto the faucet body 1 and / or the countertop 20 by the handle body 53, removing the handle body 53 allows the decorative cover 3 and the water outlet pipe 2 on it to be easily separated from the faucet body 1. At this point, the valve assembly 13 can be easily replaced.

[0058] 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.
