[0090] Embodiment 3:

[0091] The multi-functional faucet of the present invention has three water outlet states:

[0092] 1) Standard water: After the main valve 91 is opened, the water flow passes through the water inlet pipe 92, through the main flow channel 106, and flows out standard water from the first bubbler 7. AsFigure 9 as shown

[0093] 2) Water + medium mixed water: After opening the main valve 91, as Figure 10 shown, press the first button 23. The first button 23 drives the first valve stem 211 to move axially downward. The first sealing plug portion 2111 seals and cuts off the main flow channel 106, and the upper end is opened. Water flows through the first sub-water flow channel 108 to the mixed flow channel 110. And the rapidly flowing water generates a negative pressure through the fault drop of the first sub-water flow channel 108 to suck out the medium in the medium flow channel 107 and perform a primary mixing. When flowing through the mixed flow channel 110, the primary mixed liquid generates a negative pressure through the air inlet hole 115 to perform a secondary mixing with air, and flows out at the second foaming device; continuously press the first button 23 without releasing, and the water + medium mixed water will keep flowing out continuously;

[0094] 3) Sprinkler water: After opening the main valve 91, as Figure 11 shown, press the second button 33. The second button 33 drives the second valve stem 311 to move axially downward. The second sealing plug portion 3111 seals and cuts off the main flow channel 106, and the upper end is opened. Water flows through the second sub-water flow channel 109 and flows out from the sprinkler water outlet 105.

[0095] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0096] In the multifunctional faucet of the present invention, a main flow channel, a medium flow channel, a first sub-water flow channel and a second sub-water flow channel are arranged in the valve body. The switching between the main flow channel and the first sub-water flow channel is realized by setting a mixed water switching mechanism in the first through hole, and the medium in the medium flow channel is sucked to form mixed water by using the water flow velocity of the first sub-water flow channel through negative pressure suction. And the switching between the main flow channel and the second sub-water flow channel is realized by setting a sprinkler water switching mechanism in the second through hole. The overall structure is simple and has good versatility, and is applicable to various occasions such as kitchens, wash basins, showers, etc.

[0097] The multifunctional faucet of the present invention integrates three modes: standard water, sprinkler water, and mixed water, and can be switched by pressing, with convenient operation, energy saving and environmental protection.
