BACKGROUND

Although the tap water for daily use has been sterilized and disinfected in water plant before distribution, water transported by pipeline used for years is susceptible to secondary contamination due to rust residue and impurities of large particle size produced in the pipeline. Further, the tape water may also contain chlorine residuals, which can inactivate natural livings such as algae and bacteria by penetrating through the cell wall and oxidizing its enzyme system (enzyme is a biological catalyst), so that the bacteria are killed as their vital activities are interrupted. Chlorine residuals also pose seriously problems to human health as it can cause hair dryness, breakage, and split ends, and also can cause skin bleaching, skin peeling off, and extremely itchy skin irritation. Therefore, it is important to purify the tape water before use.

However, at present, the commercially available basin faucets mainly use external filters, which occupy a huge installation space, and problems such as leakage or falling off of the filters due to excessive water pressure emerge frequently, thereby leading to inconvenience. In addition, in some circumstances, the filter is directly embedded inside the basin faucet, and the filter needs to be replaced to ensure a good filtering effect after the faucet is used for a period of time. Additionally, such structure is troublesome to install, and it is difficult to replace the filter by home users themselves, causing inconvenience to the users.

The faucet cover 4 is detachably arranged on the faucet tube base 1, a side of the faucet cover 4 located inside the faucet tube base 1 is provided with an annular engaging groove 41, and a center surrounding by the annular engaging groove forms a water passing hole 42 in communication with the water outlet channel 2. The filtering device 5 is detachably arranged on the faucet cover 4 and is located between the switch mechanism 3 and the water outlet channel 2. The filtering device 5 includes a tubular filter core 51 and a sealing member 52 matching with an open end of the tubular filter core 51, and two ends of the tubular filter core 51 are respectively fixed with the annular engaging groove 41 and the sealing member 52.

Specifically, the faucet cover 4 includes a connecting part 43, a water outlet cavity 44 and an end cover part which are successively arranged, the connecting part 43 is detachably installed inside the faucet tube base 1 to fix the faucet cover 4 with the faucet tube base 1. The annular engaging groove 41 and the water passing hole 42 are arranged on the connecting part 43, the water passing hole 42 is located at the center surrounding by the annular engaging groove 41, and the water outlet cavity 44 is in communication with the water outlet channel 2. When the faucet is successfully installed, the water outlet cavity 44 is connected with the water outlet channel 2, and the end cover part 45 is oriented toward the outside of the faucet tube base 1. When in use, water successively flows by the water passing hole 42, the water outlet cavity 44, and flows out from the water outlet channel 2.

According to the present embodiment, multiple engaging blocks 46 are arranged on a sidewall of the connecting part 43 at intervals, and an inner wall of an opening of the faucet tube base 1 is provided with engaging grooves 11 matching with the engaging blocks 46. During installation, the engaging blocks 46 are turned to the intervals between the engaging grooves 11, and the faucet cover 4 is put down in the faucet tube base 1 for a predetermined height, then the faucet cover 4 is rotated until the engaging blocks 46 are engaged with the engaging grooves 11, such that the faucet cover 4 is fixed with the faucet tube base 1. The method for fixing the faucet cover with the faucet tube base of the present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned engagement structure, and other engagement structures that can realize fixation and detachment of the faucet cover, such as screw connection and insertion connection etc., are acceptable.

Further, a side of the end cover part 45 away from the connecting part 43 is provided with a non-circular operating slot 451. According to the present embodiment, the operating slot 451 is a linear slot which allows the use of a tool such as a screwdriver or a coin with a similar shape to fasten the faucet cover 4. The faucet cover 4 can be driven to rotate by the tool, so as to realize quick disassembly and installation.

According to the present embodiment, the sealing member 52 is provided with a sealing part 521 matching with the open end of the tubular filter core 51 and an annular support part 522 extending horizontally along an outer edge of the sealing part 521. Specifically, the sealing part 521 may be a cylindrical recess matching with the tubular cavity of the tubular filter core 51, and an edge of an opening of the cylindrical recess is provided with the annular support part 522 which extends outward horizontally. During installation, the sidewall of the cylindrical recess is inserted into a tubular cavity of the tubular filter core 51, so that the bottom wall of the cylindrical recess is located in the tubular cavity of the tubular filter core 51. When the sealing part 521 is inserted into the tubular cavity of the tubular filter core 51, the annular support part 522 is attached with an end surface of the tubular filter core 51.

With the arrangement of the sealing member 52, a pressure-bearing surface is embedded in the cavity of the filter core at the end of the tubular filter core 51 directly facing the impact of the water flow, and the water flow exerts an upward pressure on the pressure-bearing surface, such that the tubular filter core 51 is pushed to be tightly connected with the annular engaging groove 41. Accordingly, the connection stability is improved with a simple structure which is convenient for processing, installation and replacement. Meanwhile, since the sealing part 521 has a shape of cylindrical recess and the sidewall of the cylindrical recess is inserted into the cavity of the tubular filter core, the largest pressure-bearing surface is actually located inside the cavity of the tubular filter core, and the sidewall of the cylindrical recess and the inner cavity of the tubular filter core both undergo compression which contributes to a firmer connection between the sealing member 52 and the tubular filter core 51, so as to avoid undesired detachment of the sealing member and enhance the installation stability.

Preferably, a sidewall of the sealing part 521 is provided with a plurality of annular protrusions to enhance the compression and sealing effect between the sealing part 521 and the tubular filter core 51.

Preferably, the filter core includes a PP cotton layer, a filtering material layer and a non-woven fabric layer which arranged in sequence from outside to inside, and the filtering material layer includes KDF filter media and carbon fiber. Compared with the traditional filter core, four layers of filtration of the present embodiment can effectively improve the filtration effect, not only impurities such as sediment, turbidity and rust can be filtered out, but also heavy metals and acid ions in the water can be filtered out, so as to improve the effect of water treatment.

According to the present embodiment, the switch mechanism 3 includes an operating handle 31 and a water flow control valve 32 connected to the operating handle 31. The water flow control valve 32 can be controlled by operating the handle 31 with different rotation angles and opening degrees, so as to control the water outlet state of the water outlet channel 2.

The above descriptions merely include some of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
