Description

Washbowl faucet

The technical field of the present invention relates to a washbasin faucet, and in particular, to a washbasin faucet implemented so that a faucet having a discharge port can be rotated and raised and lowered with respect to a body portion fixed to the washbasin.

A faucet, also known as a'faucet', can supply and cut off the water supply and control the amount of water supply. The tap water discharge method of such a faucet takes the form of a water stream, and the discharge in the form of a water stream has a structure that unnecessarily consumes a large amount of water in excess of an appropriate amount of water required for a desired washing operation.

In the case of a wash basin faucet, a through hole is formed vertically on one side of a sink bowl of the wash basin, and a faucet body is fixedly installed in the through hole. At this time, after inserting the extension tube formed in the lower part of the faucet body into the through hole, it is made by fastening and fixing the tightening nut to the extension tube at the bottom of the wash basin. However, since most of the through-holes for faucet installation are located in the rear center or one corner of the sink bowl, the depth of the sink bowl is deep and the sink bowl and the wash basin wall are close to each other, so use a hand or a tightening tool to completely tighten the tightening nut. Not only is it very inconvenient to fasten the fastening nut, but if the tightening nut is not completely fastened, the fixing state of the faucet becomes loose soon, causing the faucet to shake.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0988302 (registered on October 11, 2010) discloses a faucet, including a housing having a discharge port for discharging tap water on one side; A water supply hose disposed inside the housing and having one end connected to an external water supply pipe; And a spray nozzle that is connected to the other end of the water supply hose and discharges tap water to the outside through the discharge port of the housing in the form of a spray.The spray nozzle has a water supply port connected to the water supply hose at the upper end and the bottom is open And an upper casing provided with a water channel cover in the center; And a lower casing that is closely coupled with the open bottom of the upper casing and has an upper end covered by a water channel cover on the bottom, and has a jet hole in the center of the channel through which water is sprayed to the outside. It features. According to the disclosed technology, by allowing the water discharged through the spray nozzle to be discharged by a spray method, cleaning with only a very small amount of water required at a minimum, and by installing a water pressure control pump in the water supply hose, the water pressure is reduced. Even in low areas, water can be discharged while maintaining an appropriate water pressure.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2028863 (registered on September 27, 2019) breaks the conventional mounting method, which was fixed by tightening a tightening nut on an extension pipe in a narrow space under the sink, and properly tightening the tightening nut to the extension pipe at the lower side of the sink. In this state, by tightening the tightening ring with the key attached to the extension pipe at the top of the sink in the opposite direction to the tightening of the tightening nut with a wrench, etc., the extension pipe and the tightening nut can be tightly coupled, so that the faucet can be installed simply and securely. A top tightening sink faucet is disclosed. According to the disclosed technology, a faucet body with an outlet and an opening and closing handle attached to the upper portion; A flange portion is formed at an upper end so as to be rotatably coupled to a lower portion of the faucet body, a male screw portion is formed at an outer periphery, and a key groove is formed up and down at one side of the outer periphery, and an extension pipe fitted into a through hole of the sink; A separation preventing nut that is screwed to a lower portion of the faucet body to prevent separation of the extension pipe; A fastening ring fitted to a lower portion of the faucet body and having a key groove on one side of which a key fastened to the key groove is screwed; It includes a tightening nut that is screwed to the male thread of the extension pipe, and inserts the extension pipe coupled to the lower part of the faucet into the through hole of the sink, and then tightens the tightening nut at the bottom of the sink and rotates the tightening ring at the top of the sink so that the extension pipe rotates. It is characterized in that the extension pipe and the tightening nut are firmly fastened by this.

In the prior art as described above, since the faucet having a discharge port is integrally formed with the body portion fixed to the wash basin, the faucet is fixed at a specific position (that is, the central part) of the wash basin. Since it is discharged only to a specific location (ie, the center) of the washbasin from this constant height, it is not possible to control the drop height of the water, and when water is received from the washbasin and used, it is caused by the discharge port of the faucet that pops out to the center of the washbasin. There were some inconveniences in use.
