Description

Adjustable faucet

The present invention relates to a faucet, in particular to a faucet structure using a double-hole basin. The cold water connecting column and the hot water connecting column of the faucet can be driven by an adjusting device. Accordingly, whether it is an old double-hole basin (Hole distance 21~26 cm), or the new double-hole basin (hole distance 10~15 cm), can be used as an adjustable faucet.

According to reports, due to the continuous soaring of domestic housing prices, the price of many new house construction projects almost exceeds millions or even tens of millions. Therefore, more consumers need to turn their attention to medieval houses when buying houses.

Because some medieval houses have been used for a long time, most consumers will discuss with decorators to redecorate them to solve water and electricity problems and make the indoor environment comfortable; for bathroom equipment, such as washbasins, even after long-term use , it may not be a fault, but the faucet may be clogged, resulting in a small water output. Many consumers will find out when they replace the faucet that the existing double-column faucet cannot be installed on the old washbasin (double vertical bolt). The reason is: the old double-hole washbasin (hole distance 21~26 cm), the new double-hole washbasin (hole distance 10~15 cm); so when the faucet is replaced, it will be replaced together with the washbasin; not only will it cause decoration costs In addition to the large increase, the dismantled washbasin cannot be recycled, and the cleaning team does not collect this type of garbage. It will cost extra to hire a specialized cleaning company to handle it.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable faucet, in which the cold water connection column and the hot water connection column of the double-column faucet are installed on an expandable or movable bottom wing. Accordingly, during installation, the cold water connection column and the hot water connection column are installed by adjusting the The degree of expansion or movement of the bottom wing allows the cold water connection column and the hot water connection column to be inserted into the installation holes of the double-hole basin, saving costs for consumers.
