Description

Faucet with whirl function

The invention relates to a faucet; in particular to an innovative structural designer who has a whirl function of the effluent structure and does not affect the effluent due to the twisting when the inner tube is swung.

Press, the faucet can be said to be a must-have household hardware for each household, which is usually used to control the opening and closing of the water pipe. For example, in the case of a faucet installed on a kitchen countertop and a sink, in order to provide a large working space, the effluent structure is usually designed as an upwardly extending gooseneck type, and the angle of the water and the water column are conveniently changed. At the point, the gooseneck type of water outlet structure can usually be freely swivel relative to the structure of the faucet itself, which is convenient for cleaning the pots and pans or various fruits and vegetables in the sink.

Generally, the gooseneck type water discharge structure is generally provided with a tube which is screwed on the main structure of the faucet, and a flexible inner tube is placed in the outer tube. However, it is found that such a conventional structure has found that the following problems and drawbacks still exist in the practical application experience: when the user rotates the water structure outside the faucet, due to the improper design of the internal structure of the faucet, If the angle of the pipe swing is too large, the inner pipe may not be able to rotate with the outer pipe synchronously, so that the twist will be generated, which not only limits the swing angle of the outer pipe, but also causes the water flow to be unsmooth, and the reverse flow due to the unsmooth water flow. Back pressure is also likely to cause water leakage in the faucet. In addition to causing inconvenience to the user's water, it also shortens the life of the leak-preventing components installed in the faucet.
