detail

The embodiments of the present application will be described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other arbitrarily if there is no conflict.

As shown in FIGS. 1-2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a faucet, comprising: a faucet body 1 , two connecting water pipes 10 arranged at intervals inside the faucet body 1 , and sleeved on each of the connecting water pipes 10 respectively The decorative cover 2 shown in the figure is a situation where two connecting water pipes 10 are provided. The number of connecting water pipes can be set according to requirements, and can be at least one. The number of decorative covers 2 can be the same as the number of connecting water pipes 10. This article does not limit this. The two connecting water pipes 10 can be respectively connected with the water source pipelines. The water source pipelines can include but are not limited to cold and hot water pipes embedded in the wall. The connecting water pipes 10 can be connected with the cold and hot water pipes embedded in the wall. The pipes are connected to the outlet 4 of the water source pipeline reserved on the wall 3 .

As shown in Figures 3-4, the connecting water pipe 10 may be provided with a connecting piece 101, which is adapted to be connected with the bend provided at the outlet 4 of the water source pipeline. The connecting piece 101 in this embodiment is a hexagonal connection nut, and in other embodiments Other forms of connectors may also be used, which are not limited herein. The connecting water pipe 10 includes a valve body (not shown) disposed in the connecting pipe 10, and an adjusting knob 102 disposed on the connecting water pipe 10 and capable of adjusting the opening size of the valve body.

As shown in FIGS. 5-6 , the decorative cover 2 includes a cover body 21 . The cover body 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 opposite to each other. accommodating cavity 213 . In some exemplary embodiments, the first end 211 of the cover body 21 includes a limiting portion 2110 , and the second end 212 is a free end. The limiting portion 2110 is sleeved between the adjusting knob 102 and the connecting piece 101 , and the connecting piece 101 can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 213 of the cover body 21 . The adjustment knob 102 shown in the figures is the shape adopted in some exemplary embodiments, and other shapes may also be adopted in other embodiments, which are not limited herein.

The accommodating groove 214 opened in the direction from the first end 211 to the second end 212 of the cover body 21 can be matched with the adjusting knob 102 . In some exemplary embodiments, the receiving cavity 213 of the cover body is provided with a mounting groove 215 on the inner end face of the first end 211 . The mounting groove 215 is annular and has a plurality of spaced limiting grooves 2150 . With a notch, the notch can be regarded as the position of the vacant slot 214, and the two ends of the installation slot 215 (ie, the two sides of the notch formed by the vacant slot 214 on the installation slot 215) are respectively provided with clamping slots 2151.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , in some exemplary embodiments, the decorative cover 2 may further include a compression pad 22 disposed in the installation groove 215 .

The positions of the decorative cover 2 include a first position for shielding the connection between the connecting water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline, and a second position for releasing the shielding for the connection between the connecting water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , when the decorative cover 2 is in the first position, the adjustment knob 102 is separated from the recess 214 . At this time, the decorative cover 2 can cover the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline, so that the faucet can be integrated as a whole. It looks more beautiful; as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the decorative cover 2 is in the second position, the adjustment knob 102 is matched with the abdication groove 214, and the decorative cover 2 releases the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline at this time. Cover at the place to facilitate the installation and removal of the faucet.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , when installing or disassembling the connecting water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline, align and cooperate with the recess 214 of the decorative cover 2 and the adjusting knob 102 , so that the decorative cover 2 can move backward , that is, move in the direction away from the wall surface 3 , thereby releasing the shielding of the connection between the connecting water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline, thereby preventing the operation interference caused by the decorative cover 2 shielding the connection during installation or disassembly.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , after the installation of the connecting water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline is completed, move the decorative cover 2 forward, even if the decorative cover 2 moves in the direction close to the wall 3, and make the adjustment knob 102 and the The grooves 214 are separated from the matching relationship, and the decorative cover 2 is rotated to dislocate the adjustment knob 102 and the let-away groove 214, so as to realize the shielding of the decorative cover 2 for the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipe. The dislocation of the position groove 214 limits the position of the decorative cover 2 , which can prevent the decorative cover 2 from falling out of its original position due to false touches and the like, and cannot cover the connection. At this time, the compression pad 22 is compressed by the limiting portion 2110 and the connecting piece 101 to provide a pre-tightening force to prevent the decorative cover 2 from moving.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a decorative cover 2 for a faucet, comprising: a cover body 21 sleeved on the connecting water pipe 10 of the faucet, and the number of the decorative covers 2 can be the same as that of the connecting water pipe 10 . 1-2 shows the situation where two connecting water pipes 10 are provided, the number of connecting water pipes 10 can be set according to requirements, and can be at least one, which is not limited herein. The cover body 21 has an opposite first end 211 and a second end 212. The cover body 21 is provided with an escape groove 214 opened from the first end 211 to the second end 212. The adjustment knob 102 on the connecting water pipe 10 is matched. The adjustment knob 102 shown in FIGS. 1-2 is the shape adopted in some exemplary embodiments, and other shapes may also be adopted in other embodiments, which are not limited herein.

The positions of the decorative cover 2 include a first position to shield the connection between the water pipe 10 of the faucet and the water source pipeline, and a second position to release the shielding of the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , when the decorative cover 2 is in the first position, the adjustment knob 102 is separated from the recess 214 . At this time, the decorative cover 2 can cover the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline, so that the faucet can be integrated as a whole. It looks more beautiful; as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when the decorative cover 2 is in the second position, the adjustment knob 102 is matched with the abdication groove 214, and the decorative cover 2 releases the connection between the water pipe 10 and the water source pipeline at this time. Cover at the place to facilitate the installation and removal of the faucet.

In some exemplary embodiments, the first end 211 of the cover body 21 includes a limiting portion 2110 that can be clamped to the connecting water pipe 10 , and the second end 212 of the cover body 21 is a free end.

In some exemplary embodiments, the cover body 21 has a receiving cavity 213 penetrating from the first end 211 to the second end 212 , the receiving cavity 213 is provided with a mounting groove 215 on the inner end surface of the first end 211 , and the decorative cover 2 further includes The compression pad 22 is arranged in the installation groove 215 .

In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting groove 215 is annular with notches and is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting grooves 2150 .
