Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and more specifically, to a countertop faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, countertop faucets are widely used in bathroom sinks and kitchen countertops. They typically consist of a faucet body mounted on the countertop, internal water control components, and a spout assembly connected to the body. However, existing countertop faucets generally employ a fixed or limited rotatable structure, making the user experience and water coverage heavily reliant on the rotational performance of the spout assembly. Furthermore, the connection between the faucet body and the spout assembly is relatively simple, often using a single-piece cast extension to fix the spout, or a simple plug-in joint to create a rotatable structure. However, this usually fails to effectively separate the rotating part from the sealing part, and the rotational motion can easily affect the sealing components connected to the water flow, resulting in a shortened lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a countertop faucet to solve the above problems.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] This application provides a countertop faucet, including a faucet body mounted on a countertop and a water outlet assembly pivotally connected to the faucet body. The faucet body has a corresponding outer casing and a spindle disposed within the outer casing. A valve core seat is correspondingly provided on the spindle, and a valve core is correspondingly mounted on the valve core seat. A handle for controlling the valve core is correspondingly mounted on the outer casing. The spindle has a corresponding inlet end and an outlet end. The water outlet assembly is connected to the faucet body via a rotating shaft at the outlet end. The rotating shaft includes a rotating part and a threaded part. The threaded part is sealed to the outlet end, and the rotating part is rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly, so that the water outlet assembly can be operably rotated freely along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0006] As a further improvement, the rotating shaft is provided with a water passage, and the water outlet assembly includes a round pipe and a water outlet component sleeved in the round pipe. The water outlet component is rotatably connected to the rotating part and communicates with the water passage, and the water outlet component is provided with a bubbler on its water outlet side.

[0007] As a further improvement, the rotating part is axially rotatably fitted onto the rotating shaft, and the round tube is L-shaped with a mating groove at its opening that matches the rotating part.

[0008] As a further improvement, a C-shaped washer is also fitted on the rotating shaft, and a retaining spring is inserted into one side of the rotating shaft.

[0009] As a further improvement, the diameter of the screw connection is smaller than the diameter of the rotating part.

[0010] As a further improvement, the mandrel body is a single piece, with an external water inlet channel at its inlet end for water to enter the valve core; and its outlet end is connected to the water channel of the valve core for outputting the water flow condition regulated by the valve core.

[0011] As a further improvement, the valve core seat is integrally formed on one side of the mandrel body.

[0012] As a further improvement, the top of the spindle body abuts against the upper end of the outer casing, so that its water outlet end is horizontally inserted into the rotating shaft body.

[0013] As a further improvement, the bottom of the mandrel is snapped onto the upper part of the lower end of the housing to form a accommodating space between the mandrel and the housing for placing the water inlet pipe inside the faucet.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. The countertop faucet of this application has a rotating shaft body including a threaded part and a rotating part. The threaded part is sealed to the water outlet end of the spindle body to ensure the water circuit sealing and stability. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly so that the water outlet assembly does not affect the seal during rotation. This effectively solves the problems of easy leakage, loose seal or accelerated wear when traditional faucets rotate, and improves service life.

[0016] 2. The water outlet component is connected to the rotating shaft via a rotating part, and can rotate flexibly along the axis of the rotating shaft. Users can freely adjust the water outlet direction according to the layout of the countertop and sink, enhancing the convenience of use. It is especially suitable for double sink countertops or scenarios where the water outlet angle needs to be adjusted.

[0017] 3. Furthermore, the valve core seat is directly mounted on the spindle body, ensuring a tight fit between the valve core and the spindle body. This results in a compact structure and easy assembly, ensuring the valve core remains stable and reliable during rotation and use.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a countertop faucet, including a faucet body 1 mounted on a countertop and a water outlet assembly 2 pivotally connected to the faucet body 1. The faucet body 1 has a corresponding outer casing 3 and a spindle 4 disposed within the outer casing 3. A valve core seat 5 is correspondingly provided on the spindle 4, and a valve core 6 is correspondingly mounted on the valve core seat 5. A handle 7 for controlling the valve core 6 is correspondingly mounted on the outer casing 3. The spindle 4 has a water inlet end and a water outlet end. The water outlet assembly 2 is connected to the faucet body 1 at the water outlet end via a rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 includes a rotating part 9 and a threaded part 10. The threaded part 10 is sealed to the water outlet end, and the rotating part 9 is rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly 2, so that the water outlet assembly 2 can be operably rotated freely along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 8.

[0026] The aforementioned countertop faucet has a rotating shaft 8 comprising a threaded part 10 and a rotating part 9. The threaded part 10 is sealed to the water outlet end of the spindle 4 to ensure the water circuit's sealing and stability. The rotating part 9 is rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly 2, ensuring that the water outlet assembly 2 does not affect the seal during rotation. This effectively solves the problems of easy leakage, loose seals, or accelerated wear when traditional faucets rotate, thus improving their service life.

[0027] The water outlet component 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 8 via the rotating part 9, and can rotate flexibly along the axis of the rotating shaft 8. Users can freely adjust the water outlet direction according to the layout of the countertop and sink, enhancing the convenience of use. It is especially suitable for double sink countertops or scenarios where the water outlet angle needs to be adjusted.

[0028] Furthermore, the valve core seat 5 is directly mounted on the spindle body 4, so that the valve core 6 is tightly connected to the spindle body 4. Its structure is compact and easy to assemble, which can ensure that the valve core 6 is stable and reliable during rotation and use, and reduce the valve core 6 offset or jamming caused by vibration or water pressure changes. The handle 7 that controls the valve core 6 is mounted on the outer shell 3 and is separated from the internal water circuit structure, making it easy for users to operate, while reducing wear on internal components and improving the convenience of maintenance and replacement.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a water passage. The water outlet assembly 2 includes a circular pipe 11 and a water outlet component 12 sleeved within the circular pipe 11. The water outlet component 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 9 and communicates with the water passage. A bubbler 13 is correspondingly provided on the water outlet side of the water outlet component 12. Thus, through the coaxial sleeve of the circular pipe 11 and the internally sleeved water outlet component 12, when the rotating part 9 drives the water outlet component 12 to rotate, the circular pipe 11 forms an external support shell, effectively improving the stability of the water outlet component 12 during rotation, avoiding shaking, swaying, or jamming, and enhancing structural reliability and smoothness of use. Furthermore, the water outlet component 12 is directly connected to the water passage, and the sealing and guiding cooperation between it and the rotating part 9 is achieved internally, allowing water to enter through the water passage to the water outlet component 12, and then exit from the bubbler 13.

[0030] Specifically, the rotating part 9 is axially rotatable and fitted onto the rotating shaft 8, and the circular tube 11 is L-shaped, with a corresponding mating groove 14 at its opening that matches the rotating part 9. On one hand, because the rotating part 9 is axially rotatable and fitted onto the rotating shaft 8, it ensures that the rotation of the water outlet assembly 2 will not result in swaying, tilting, or eccentricity. On the other hand, the mating groove 14 at the opening of the L-shaped circular tube 11 precisely limits the positioning of the circular tube 11 on the rotating part 9, preventing wobbling and gaps during rotation, ensuring the concentricity of the water outlet assembly 2 during rotation, and further improving overall stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, a C-shaped washer 15 is also fitted onto the rotating shaft 8, and a retaining spring 16 is inserted into one side of the rotating shaft 8. Obviously, by fitting the C-shaped washer 15 onto the rotating shaft 8 and inserting the retaining spring 16 into one side of the rotating shaft 8, the two together form a double axial limiting structure, which can effectively prevent the rotating part 9 from sliding or loosening in the axial direction, ensuring that the water outlet assembly 2 maintains a stable axial position during rotational operation.

[0032] Preferably, the diameter of the threaded portion 10 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating portion 9. The smaller diameter of the threaded portion 10 allows it to form a tightly sealed connection area with the water outlet end of the spindle body 4. The larger diameter of the rotating portion 9 provides more space for the water outlet assembly 2 to rotate.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a rotating part 9 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8, and the rotating part 9 rotates and engages with the docking groove 14 of the water outlet component 2 to achieve water connection and rotational engagement. The main body of the rotating shaft 8 is specifically limited and fixed between the faucet body 1 and the water outlet component 2. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 8 can be freely rotated along the axial direction to achieve direct rotational connection, which also falls within the protection scope of this case.

[0034] In this embodiment, the spindle body 4 is a single piece, with an external water inlet channel connected to its inlet end for water to enter the valve core 6. Its outlet end is connected to the water channel of the valve core 6 for outputting the water flow regulated by the valve core 6. Obviously, the external water channel and internal water channel connection of the valve core 6 are typical water outlet configurations in a conventional faucet, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In this embodiment, the valve core seat 5 is integrally formed on one side of the spindle body 4. This eliminates the need for additional independent mounting components, reducing the number of parts, simplifying the assembly process, and lowering manufacturing costs and installation complexity. Furthermore, it prevents the valve core 6 from easily shifting or wobbling during operation or rotation, ensuring precise hot and cold water regulation and smooth operation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top of the spindle 4 abuts against the upper side of the outer casing 3, so that its water outlet end is horizontally inserted into the rotating shaft 8. The top of the spindle 4 abuts against the upper side of the outer casing 3, providing stable support and enhancing the stability of the internal structure of the faucet body 1, preventing the spindle 4 from shaking or loosening during use due to rotation or water pressure. Furthermore, the horizontal insertion of the water outlet end of the spindle 4 into the rotating shaft 8 forms a horizontal rotating connection structure, allowing the water outlet assembly 2 to rotate freely along the horizontal axis, ensuring smooth operation and facilitating user adjustment of the water outlet direction according to the countertop and sink layout, thus improving usability.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom of the spindle 4 is snapped onto the upper part of the lower end of the outer casing 3, forming a space between the spindle 4 and the outer casing 3 for accommodating the water inlet pipe inside the faucet. This achieves a neat arrangement of the water inlet pipe inside the faucet, with a clear and orderly water path, facilitating smooth water flow into the inlet end of the spindle 4. Furthermore, the internal structure is compact, with a high degree of modularity, facilitating assembly and subsequent maintenance while reducing the space occupied inside the faucet.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
