Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL AREA The present utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen and sanitary installations, in particular to a mounting structure for a tap. STATE OF THE ART The faucet is an essential bathroom product in people's lives. The conventional installation of sink and kitchen faucets involves first threading the faucet hose through the mounting hole (301) of the sink or basin, and then attaching the spout to the faucet and threading it through the same hole. The installer or user must also crawl into the confined space under the sink or basin and secure the faucet with a nut, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, countertop installation technology exists. However, different countries have different regulations for the nut on the water inlet end of the faucet hose. Common types are G3 / 8 and G1 / 2 nuts. Due to the relatively small size of the G3 / 8 nut, existing table-mounting technology can generally meet the requirements. However, due to the relatively larger size of the G1 / 2 nut, existing table-mounting technology cannot meet market demand. In most cases, it is impossible to run two water inlet hoses with G1 / 2 nut connections smoothly after quick assembly on the table. Furthermore, the assembly direction of the existing assembly structure on the table is primarily indicated by engraving markings on the base. However, during actual assembly operations, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the assembly direction using only these indicators.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION To further illustrate each embodiment, this utility model is accompanied by drawings. These drawings form part of the disclosed content of this utility model and are primarily used to explain the embodiments, thus allowing the functional principle of the embodiments to be explained in conjunction with the relevant description. With reference to this content, a person skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible embodiments as well as the advantages of this utility model. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are frequently used to denote similar components. The present utility model is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Example 1 According to the present embodiment, a mounting structure 100 for a tap is provided for mounting on a plate 300 with mounting holes 301, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 to Fig. 9, so that the tap 200 can be mounted by the mounting structure 100 on the plate 300 of a washbasin or countertop basin, as shown in Fig. 9, wherein the mounting structure 100 for a tap comprises a mounting seat 1, a bolt 2, a mounting claw 3, a waste protection cap 4 and a sealing ring 5, wherein the mounting seat 1 comprises a first section 11 and a second section 12 which are connected to each other.Furthermore, the first section 11 is adapted to be mounted above the plate 300 and is used for mounting and connecting to a tap, the second section 12 being penetrating and being mounted in the mounting hole 301 of the plate 300 when the mounting seat 1 is mounted to the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin or countertop basin. The first section 11 also comprises an annular body 110, the annular body 110 having a mounting channel 113, the mounting channel 113 being used to guide components such as the tap connection hose and the water inlet nut, the annular body 110 having a circumferentially extending side wall 112, the lower part of the side wall 112 being provided with a locking structure 111. Furthermore, the first section 11 is provided with a bolt hole 114, the bolt hole 114 being located on the side wall 112 of the annular body 110. In the present embodiment, a section of the side wall 112 projects into the mounting channel 113 to form a projecting section 115, the bolt hole 114 being located in the projecting section 115, as shown in Fig. 8, with the bolt hole 114 extending longitudinally through the first section 11, i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the tabletop. The bolt hole 114 serves for inserting the bolt 2. The bolt 2 is rotatably mounted in the bolt hole 114. The bolt 2 passes through the first section 11 via a bolt hole 114, with the head of the bolt 2 resting against the first section 11 and its end penetrating into an area of the second section 12 of the mounting seat 1. Furthermore, the second section 12 comprises a plurality of circumferentially distributed limiting structures 120, each limiting structure 120 having a limiting column 121, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 to 5. Figure 5 shows that a first limiting column 121a and a second limiting column 121b are arranged on each side of the bolt 2. The mounting claw 3 is screwed to the bolt 2, the mounting claw 3 having an internal threaded bore 31, and the bolt 2 being screwed to the mounting claw 3 via this internal threaded bore 31. The mounting claws 3 can be carried along by the bolt 2 or can be limited by the limiting column 121 to move up and down around the screw section of the bolt 2.The circumferential diameter of the retaining column 121 is smaller than that of the mounting hole 301, so that the second section 12 can pass smoothly through the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin or countertop basin. Two bolts 2 and two corresponding mounting claws 3 are provided. A total of four retaining columns 121 are shown in the figure. Furthermore, it is provided that the limiting column 121 extends circumferentially on the side facing away from the bolt 2 to form a shoring wall 122, the shoring wall 122 being connected to the limiting column 121, with reference to Figs. 3, 4 to 5. This allows the second section 12 enclosed by the limiting structure 120 to provide a guide and limit for the mounting hole 301, into which the mounting seat 1 is inserted into the washbasin or countertop basin. This ensures that, after the mounting structure 100 for a faucet has been installed, the water flow pipe on the faucet can pass smoothly from the table through the mounting channel 113 in the center of the mounting seat 1 and under the table. The mounting claw 3 can be pivoted into the receiving position, as shown in Fig. 7. In this receiving position, the mounting claw 3 is essentially received inside the second section 12. This allows the second section 12 and the mounting claw 3 to be smoothly inserted through the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin or countertop basin in this received state. The mounting claw 3 can also be pivoted in the other direction into the open position, as shown in Fig. 5. In this open position, the mounting claws 3 protrude from the second section 12. The mounting claw 3 can be moved upwards by the limiting column 121 around the screw section of the bolt 2 until it rests against the lower surface of the plate contacting the washbasin or countertop basin, so that the mounting claw 3 and the first section 11 are each clamped on both sides of the plate.The mounting structure 100 for a tap is attached and mounted on the plate of the sink or table basin, so that the mounting and fastening on the table of the mounting structure 100 for a tap can be realized, making the installation quick and convenient. The length of the first boundary column 121a is greater than that of the second boundary column 121b; that is, the lower end of the first boundary column 121a is lower than the lower end of the second boundary column 121b, as shown in Figures 3, 4 to 5, and 7. The lower ends of the two columns are offset vertically, allowing the mounting claws 3 to pivot inwards for receiving or outwards for spreading in this offset position. The boundary column 121 can provide a rotation guide and angular limit for inward rotation to receive and outward rotation to spread the mounting claw 3, and can also provide a guide for the mounting claw 3 to move up and down and to adjust itself according to the thickness of different basins. Furthermore, it is provided that a first central axis C1 is defined by the first section 11, and a second central axis C2 is defined by the second section 12, the second section 12 being arranged eccentrically to the first section 11, i.e., there is an eccentric distance A between the first central axis C1 and the second central axis C2, with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. Due to the eccentric arrangement of the second section 12 to the first section 11, the second section 12 can form a passage for the mounting channel 113 of the first section 11, so that the mounting channel 113 of the first section 11 can be used to pass through a nut with a larger diameter.For example, if a water passage pipe equipped with a G1 / 2 nut connection is used, the G1 / 2 nut connection can be smoothly inserted from the mounting channel 113 in the center of the mounting seat 1 on the table under the table after the mounting structure has been mounted on the table. To facilitate the passage of the G1 / 2 hexagonal nut, a guide wall structure 1131 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting channel 113. This guide wall structure is adapted to the shape of the hexagonal nut of the tap connection pipe. A receiving space for receiving the pipe body of the tap connection pipe is arranged between the two protruding sections 115. The receiving space and the guide wall structure 1131 are arranged on opposite sides within the mounting channel 113, as shown in Fig. 6. When the G1 / 2 water passage pipe is inserted, the pipe body of the first water passage pipe 71 can be moved to the other side of the guide wall structure 1131 after the first water passage pipe 71 has passed through the mounting seat 1.In the receiving space between the two preceding sections 115, an exit is formed so that the second G1 / 2 water passage pipe 72 can also smoothly penetrate under the table along the guide wall structure 1131. According to the present embodiment, a mounting structure 100 for a faucet is provided. Once the mounting structure 100 for the faucet is assembled and locked, the requirements for threading two hoses with G1 / 2 nut connections can be met, and the space arrangement is adequate. Furthermore, the mounting structure 100 is also suitable for the removable faucet 200a, so that sufficient space can be reserved for the guide bushing 74, which fits the pull-out hose 73 of the removable faucet 200a to ensure a smooth pull-out operation, as shown in Fig. 10. A double-bolt structure is assumed for the mounting structure 100 for the faucet according to the present embodiment.Compared with some other mounting structures for a tap with a single-bolt structure, the mounting structure 100 for a tap according to the present embodiment has better stability after assembly. A fall-protection cap 4 is also mounted at the lower end of the bolt 2. The fall-protection cap 4 serves to prevent the bolt 2 from pivoting beyond its limit position when the mounting structure 100 for a tap is disassembled, which would cause the mounting claw 3 to fall off the bolt 2. A sealing ring 5 is arranged between the first section 11 of the mounting seat 1 and the table surface, thereby improving the sealing performance between the mounting seat 1 and the table surface. Furthermore, the upper part of the bolt hole 114 is designed as a circular hole structure 1141, which is larger than the outer diameter of the bolt section of the bolt 2, while the lower part of the bolt hole 114 is an enlarged bore structure 1142 extending towards the center of the mounting seat. A natural transition can occur between the circular hole structure 1141 and the enlarged bore structure 1142. The head position of the bolt 2 is limited by the circular hole structure 1141, thus preventing the head of the bolt 2 from shifting towards the center of the mounting seat 1 after the bolt 2 is locked, which would obstruct the passage of the water passage pipe with the G1 / 2 nut connection through the mounting seat 1.When the mounting structure 100 for a tap is inserted through the enlarged bore structure 1142 into the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin or table basin or the like, the mounting claw 3 can be driven by the bolt 2 to tilt towards the center of the mounting seat 1, making it easier to place the mounting structure 100 for a tap into the mounting hole 301. Furthermore, the mounting structure 100 for a tap is provided to include a mounting correction tool 6, wherein the mounting correction tool 6 comprises a limiting section 61 and an indicator section 62, with reference to Figures 11 to 12. In the present embodiment, the limiting section 61 is provided with a limiting hole 611, the shape of which is adapted to the outer shape of the locking structure 111, so that the mounting correction tool 6 can be oriented and encased on the locking structure 111 of the mounting seat 1, wherein the indicator section 62 is provided with a direction indicator mark 621, 622, the direction indicator mark 621, 622 serving, for example, to indicate the straight forward direction, and the direction indicator mark comprising an indicator arrow 621 and an indicator text 622.The mounting correction tool 6 serves to ensure the accuracy of the mounting direction when installing the mounting structure 100 for a faucet. When installing the faucet, after the mounting structure 100 is complete, it ensures that the faucet's alignment is not misaligned. This prevents the need to return to the mounting structure 100 to adjust its position if the faucet is found to be misaligned after installation, thus avoiding a cumbersome installation process. This improves the ease of installation. The assembly correction tool 6 can be manufactured by punching cardboard, which makes it easy and convenient to use and operate, environmentally friendly and recyclable, and saves costs. Example 2 The assembly correction tool according to the present embodiment differs from embodiment 1 and is otherwise identical to embodiment 1, with reference to Figs. 13 to 14. In the present embodiment, the assembly correction tool 6a comprises a limiting section 61a and an indicator section 62a, the shape of which is adapted to the assembly channel 113. The limiting section 61a is designed for oriented insertion into the assembly channel 113 in the center of the assembly seat 1, thus enabling oriented assembly of the assembly correction tool 6 on the assembly seat 1. The indicator section 62a is also provided with direction indicator marks 621, 622, as in embodiment 1. The indicator section 62a is connected to the upper end of the limiting section 61a to indicate the assembly direction. Furthermore, the limiting section 61a is provided to have a wedge-shaped guide section 612. If the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin, countertop basin, or the like is larger, the wedge-shaped guide section 612 can extend through the mounting channel 113 to interact with the mounting hole 301. This adjusts the position of the mounting seat 1 of the mounting structure 100 for a faucet to ensure centric mounting of the mounting structure 100 for a faucet, thereby improving the mounting reliability of the mounting structure 100 for a faucet. Example 3 The present embodiment is a further improvement of the assembly correction tool according to embodiment 2, with reference to Fig. 15. In the present embodiment, an elastic raised structure 613 is arranged on one side of the limiting section 61b of the mounting correction tool 6b. The elastic raised structure 613 is designed to interact with the mounting hole 301 when the mounting hole 301 of the washbasin, countertop basin, or the like is larger. This drives and adjusts the movement of the position of the mounting seat 1 of the mounting structure 100 for a faucet towards the side of the mounting claw 3, ensuring a sufficiently large contact area between the mounting claw 3 and the lower surface of the washbasin or countertop basin to improve the mounting reliability of the mounting structure 100 for a faucet. On the underside of the mounting seat 1, a receiving slot (not shown) for the elastic raising structure of the mounting correction tool and a mountable and removable guide ramp (not shown) for the elastic raising structure are formed. The elastic raising structure 613 is partially received in the receiving slot for the elastic raising structure, thus ensuring that the mounting correction tool can be removed smoothly after it has been mounted. Although the present utility model has been specifically shown and introduced in connection with the preferred embodiments, the person skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and details can be made to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model as defined in the attached claims, the changes being the scope of protection of the present utility model.
