Description

The present invention relates to a faucet device, and more particularly to a faucet device in which a main body of a faucet disposed on the front side of a mounting base such as a counter is mounted and fixed to a mounting base by a mounting device having a water discharge pipe.

Conventionally, there is a water faucet provided with a sensor having a structure in which a lateral hole is formed in a pipe shape and the sensor is put out from the lateral hole.
In this conventional faucet, it is conceivable to simplify the structure by positioning the sensor part fitted in the lateral hole without positioning it separately in the pipe.
However, the sensor part in the pipe has a structure in which it is connected to a power source, a solenoid valve, and the other substrate under the sink with a cable, and the cable is exposed to the outside under the sink. Therefore, if the cable is accidentally pulled during construction or use, an extra load will be applied to the sensor section. If an excessive load is applied to the sensor part, it is desirable to fix the cable midway in order to prevent the cable from being cut and the board from being damaged. At that time, in order to simplify the structure, it is desirable to fix the sensor portion to the end portion of the base component 22 or the like. However, that construction in turn puts extra load on the parts that fit into the lateral holes in the pipe.
