This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202322396392.5, filed on Sep. 4, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The application relates to a disassembly and assembly structure of a faucet.
At present, kitchen faucets on the market are generally provided with an elbow pipe and a fixed base, and the elbow pipe is connected to the fixed base. However, after the elbow pipe is connected to the fixed base, the whole faucet is larger in size and higher in packaging and transportation costs. Therefore, in some related art, the elbow pipe and the fixed base of the faucet are separated and not assembled together for shipment, and when a user installs the faucet, the elbow pipe and the fixed base are assembled together, which may greatly reduce the packaging and transportation costs. However, in the related art, the disassembly and assembly structure of the elbow pipe and the fixed base is often complex, and the assembly is not convenient enough.

In the above solution, the side wall of the C-shaped connecting ring is provided with the avoiding groove to form the elastic piece, and then constitutes the elastic buckle together with the protruding column, the elastic buckle is simple in structure, and the whole clamping piece is compact in structure.
In a preferred embodiment, an inclined surface is formed on an upper surface of the protruding column, and the bottom end of the elbow pipe abuts against the inclined surface to enable the protruding column to move inward in a radial direction of the insertion part in a process of inserting the insertion part into the elbow pipe.
In the above solution, the inclined surface is arranged on the upper surface of the protruding column, so that the elbow pipe pushes the protruding column to enable the elastic piece to elastically deform, the protruding column moves inward in the radial direction of the insertion part, and then the elbow pipe is smoothly inserted into the fixed base.
In a preferred embodiment, after the insertion part is inserted into the elbow pipe, an inner wall of the elbow pipe restricts the C-shaped connecting ring to exit the annular groove.
In the above solution, the inner wall of the elbow pipe restricts the C-shaped connecting ring to exit the annular groove, so that the connection is more reliable.
In a preferred embodiment, the disassembly and assembly structure further includes a hollow faucet body. A bottom end of the faucet body is fixed to a mounting table surface through a locking assembly, a top end of the faucet body is provided with a through hole, a part of the fixed base is fixed in the faucet body, and the insertion part penetrates out of the faucet body through the through hole.
In a preferred embodiment, a side wall of the faucet body is provided with a mounting hole configured to install a control valve, and a valve core of the control valve penetrates through the mounting hole and is connected to the fixed base.
In the above solution, the valve core of the control valve is directly connected to the fixed base, so that the faucet body is independently arranged relative to the control valve and the fixed base, only the faucet body is made of metal, while the valve core of the control valve and the fixed base may be selected to be made of plastic, which is conducive to saving costs. In addition, because the faucet body is arranged independently, a plurality of faucet bodies with different materials and different appearances are also arranged as required, so that the product design is more flexible.
In a preferred embodiment, an outlet end of the elbow pipe is provided with a drawing head, a drawing water pipe penetrates through the elbow pipe and is connected to the drawing head, the insertion part is sleeve-shaped, an upper end and a lower end of the insertion part are connected to form a channel for allowing the drawing water pipe to pass through.
In a preferred embodiment, a position, located at a bottom end of the insertion part, on an outer peripheral wall of the fixed base is provided with a step surface, a wear-resistant pad is installed on the step surface, and an end surface of the bottom end of the elbow pipe abuts against the wear-resistant pad.
In the above solution, through the arrangement of the wear-resistant pad, the wear to the fixed base caused by the elbow pipe rotating relative to the fixed base is effectively avoided.
In a preferred embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the insertion part of the fixed base is provided with a sealing ring groove, a sealing ring is installed on the sealing ring groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the insertion part and an inner peripheral wall of the elbow pipe are in sealing fit through the sealing ring.
In the above solution, through the arrangement of the sealing ring, on the one hand, the sealing between the elbow pipe and the fixed base is realized, and on the other hand, the hand feeling of rotating the elbow pipe is better and the use experience is improved.
