[0027] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1 to Figure 6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention. A user-friendly healthy kitchen and bathroom faucet includes a faucet body 1, a water inlet pipe 2, a water outlet pipe 3, and a water valve 4 located between the water inlet and outlet pipes. A heating element 5 is provided in the faucet body 1, and the heating element 5 is disposed between the water valve 4 and the water outlet pipe 3. The faucet body 1 is divided into a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12. The first cavity 11 includes a water passing cavity 11a and a heating cavity 11b. A microswitch 6 is placed in the second cavity 12. The microswitch 6 is electrically connected to the heating element 5, and the microswitch is used to control whether the heating element 5 operates. The faucet body 1 has a main body 1a, the upper and lower ends of the main body respectively form the above-mentioned heating cavity 11b and the second cavity 12, and the water passing cavity 11a is formed inside the main body 1a.

[0028] The water valve 4 includes a water inlet and at least one water outlet a. The water outlet a is a hot water outlet. The water inlet is communicated with the water inlet pipe 2. The water outlet a is sequentially communicated with a water passing cavity 11a, a heating cavity 11b and a water outlet pipe 3. A triggering assembly 7 of the microswitch 6 is arranged in the water passing cavity 11a. The triggering assembly 7 includes a sliding block 71, a push rod 72 and a fixing plate 73. The sliding block 71 includes a central portion 71a and piston portions 71b respectively located at both ends of the central portion 71a. Sealing rings b are arranged on the piston portions 71b. The piston portions 71b cooperate with the main body 1a respectively to seal and separate the water passing cavity and the second cavity. A through hole c is formed in the central portion 71a. One end of the push rod 72 passes through the through hole c. The push rod 72 includes a main rod 72a, a triggering member 72b located at the bottom end of the main rod 72a and a swinging member 72c located on the main rod 72a. Preferably, the main rod 72a and the triggering member 72b form an "L"-shaped rod. The upper end of the main rod 72a penetrates into the through hole c of the central portion. The fixing plate 73 is connected and fixed to the main body 1a. The lower end of the main rod 72a passes through the fixing plate 73. The triggering member 72b is located at the bottom of the fixing plate 73. A groove 73a matched with the swinging member 72c is formed in the middle of the fixing plate 73. The swinging member 72c can be a columnar cross bar perpendicular to the main rod 72a. The swinging member 72c is arranged in the fixing plate 73, that is, arranged in the groove 73a and matched with the groove, so that the push rod 72 can swing along the fixing plate 73. The triggering member cooperates with the swinging member to position the push rod on the fixing plate. Further, a fixing piece 74 with a central hole d is also connected and fixed to the fixing plate 73. The fixing piece 74 is connected to the fixing plate 73. The swinging member 72c is arranged between the fixing piece 74 and the fixing plate 73. The fixing piece 74 and the fixing plate 73 cooperate to limit the swinging member within a certain position to swing, and at the same time enable the push rod 72 to swing along the central hole d. Further, a step portion e is further arranged on the front side of the groove 73a of the fixing plate. The arrangement of the step portion e further facilitates the smooth swinging of the push rod 72.

[0029] Further, the water valve 4 further includes a cold water outlet. The cold water outlet is communicated with the water outlet pipe 3. The water outlet pipe 3 includes a housing 31 and a pipe 32 placed in the housing 31. The pipe is communicated with the heating cavity 11b. The arrangement of the pipe can enhance the working safety of the faucet.

[0030] The working mode of the faucet will be described in detail below. Refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6, when water flows out from the water outlet a of the water valve, the slider 71 slides within the water passing cavity 11a. Then, the slider 71 drives the ejector rod 72 connected thereto to swing. At the same time, the trigger 72b at the bottom end of the ejector rod 72 also swings accordingly, thereby causing the trigger 72b to open the switch of the microswitch 6, enabling the heating element 5 to start working. The heating element 5 heats the water flowing out from the water outlet a (i.e., following the water flow arrow direction in Figure 6 ), making the water flowing out from the outlet pipe 3 hot water; when the water is heated inside the cavity and encounters situations such as the water freezing or the water outlet being blocked, which cause the water in the cavity to be unable to flow out, the microswitch 6 can act on the ejector rod 72 by its own elastic force. The ejector rod 72 drives the slider 71 to reset, closing the heating element 5 and automatically cutting off the heating function to ensure the working safety of the faucet. Further, if the water flows out from the cold water outlet of the water valve, it can flow out from the outlet pipe 3. Thus, the faucet can provide two function modes for the user, namely instant hot water or cold water outlet. In this way, when the water is heated inside the cavity and in the case of water freezing or the water outlet being blocked, the faucet structure of the present invention can automatically cut off the heating function of the heating element, preventing accidents endangering personal safety such as the faucet dry burning, self-igniting or exploding due to malfunctions, and further enhancing the safety and reliability of the faucet structure during operation.

[0031] Refer to attachment Figure 7 to attachment Figure 10 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. A user-friendly and healthy instant hot faucet includes a faucet body 1', an inlet pipe 2', an outlet pipe 3' and a water valve 4' located between the inlet and outlet pipes. A heating element 5' is provided inside the faucet body 1', and the heating element 5' is disposed between the water valve 4' and the outlet pipe 3'. The faucet body 1' is divided into a first cavity 11' and a second cavity 12'. The first cavity 11' includes a water passing cavity 11a' and a heating cavity 11b'. A microswitch 6' is placed in the second cavity 12'. The microswitch 6' is electrically connected to the heating element 5', and the microswitch is used to control whether the heating element 5' works. The faucet body 1' has a main body 1a'. The upper and lower ends of the main body respectively form the above-mentioned heating cavity 11b' and the second cavity 12', and the water passing cavity 11a' is formed inside the main body 1a'.

[0032] The water valve 4' includes a water inlet and at least one water outlet a'. The water outlet a' is a hot water outlet. The water inlet is communicated with a water inlet pipe 2'. The water outlet a' is successively communicated with a water passing cavity 11a', a heating cavity 11b' and a water outlet pipe 3'. A trigger assembly 7' of the microswitch 6' is arranged in the water passing cavity 11a'. The trigger assembly 7' includes a sliding block 71', a push rod 72', a fixing plate 73' and a rubber pad 75'. The sliding block 71' has a central part 71a' with a through hole c' formed therein. One end of the push rod 72' is arranged through the through hole c'. The push rod 72' includes a main rod 72a', a trigger member 72b' located at the bottom end of the main rod 72a' and a swing member 72c' located on the main rod 72a'. Preferably, the main rod 72a' and the trigger member 72b' form an "L"-shaped rod. The upper end of the main rod 72a' is inserted into the through hole c' of the central part. The fixing plate 73' is connected and fixed to the body 1a'. The lower end of the main rod 72a' passes through the fixing plate 73'. The trigger member 72b' is located at the bottom of the fixing plate 73'. A groove 73a' matched with the swing member 72c' is formed in the middle of the fixing plate 73'. The swing member 72c' can be a columnar cross bar perpendicular to the main rod 72a'. The swing member 72c' is arranged in the fixing plate 73', that is, arranged in the groove 73a' and matched with the groove, so that the push rod 72' can swing along the fixing plate 73'. The trigger member cooperates with the swing member to position the push rod on the fixing plate. The rubber pad 75' is arranged on the fixing plate 73'. The rubber pad 75' includes a base 75a' and a sealing seat 75b'. The main rod 72a' of the push rod passes through the sealing seat 75b'. The sealing seat 75b' cooperates with the main rod 72a' for sealing to separate the water passing cavity 11a' from the second cavity 12'. The base 75a' of the rubber pad 75' can be placed between the body 1a' and the fixing plate 73', and the two are used to fix the rubber pad 75' on the fixing plate.

[0033] Further, a fixing piece 74' with a central hole d' is also connected and fixed to the fixing plate 73'. The fixing piece 74' is connected to the fixing plate 73'. The fixing piece 74' is arranged between the fixing plate 73' and the rubber pad 75'. The swing member 72c' is arranged between the fixing piece 74' and the fixing plate 73'. The fixing piece 74' and the fixing plate 73' cooperate to limit the swing member within a certain position for swinging, and at the same time enable the push rod 72' to swing along the central hole d'. Further, a step portion e' is also arranged on the front side of the groove 73a' of the fixing plate. The arrangement of the step portion e' further facilitates the smoothness of the swing of the push rod 72'.

[0034] The working mode of the faucet will be described in detail below. Refer to the appendix Figure 10, when water flows out from the water outlet a' of the water valve, the water flow passes through the sliding block 71' in the water cavity and flows from the body into the heating cavity 11b' (as shown by the water flow arrow direction in Figure 10 ). The sliding block 71' slides in the water passing cavity 11a', and then the sliding block 71' drives the ejector rod 72' connected thereto to swing. At the same time, the trigger 72b' at the bottom end of the ejector rod 72' also swings accordingly, so that the trigger 72b' opens the switch of the microswitch 6', causing the heating element 5' to start working. The heating element 5' heats the water flow flowing out from the water outlet a', so that the water flow flowing out from the water outlet pipe 3' is hot water; if the water freezes or the water outlet is blocked during the heating of the water body inside the cavity, resulting in the water flow in the cavity being unable to flow out, the microswitch 6' can act on the ejector rod 72' by its own elastic force, drive the sliding block 71' to reset through the ejector rod 72', close the heating element 5', and automatically cut off the heating function to ensure the working safety of the faucet. Further, if the water flow flows out from the cold water outlet of the water valve, it can flow out from the water outlet pipe, so that the faucet can provide two function modes of instant hot water or cold water outlet for users at the same time. In this way, when the water body is heated inside the cavity, if the water freezes or the water outlet is blocked, the faucet structure of the present invention can automatically cut off the heating function of the heating element, preventing accidents endangering personal safety such as dry burning, self-ignition or explosion of the faucet caused by faults, and further enhancing the safety and reliability of the faucet structure during operation.
