DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the new multifunctional faucet of this embodiment includes a stainless steel housing 10, an inlet pipe 1, a side pipe 1 2, a first ceramic valve 3 blocking the water path between the inlet pipe 1 and the side pipe 1 2, a side pipe 2 4, an outlet pipe 5, a second ceramic valve 6 blocking the water path between the side pipe 2 4 and the outlet pipe 5, and a handle assembly 7 for controlling the opening and closing of the first ceramic valve 3 and the second ceramic valve 6. Within one rotation cycle of the handle assembly 7, the new multifunctional faucet alternates between three working states.

[0026] In the first state: the handle assembly 7 is rotated to the first gear position, driving the first ceramic valve 3 and the second ceramic valve 6 to open, water enters the faucet from the water inlet pipe 1, and then flows out from the side pipe 1 2 through the first ceramic valve 3, while another water path can enter the faucet from the side pipe 2 4, and flow out from the water outlet pipe 5 through the second ceramic valve 6;

[0027] In the second state, the handle assembly 7 is rotated to the second gear position, driving the first ceramic valve 3 to close and the second ceramic valve 6 to open. The water path between the water inlet pipe 1 and the side pipe 1 2 is blocked, while another water path can enter through the side pipe 2 4 and flow out through the second ceramic valve 6 and out of the water outlet pipe 5.

[0028] In the third state, the handle assembly 7 rotates to the third gear position, driving the first ceramic valve 3 and the second ceramic valve 6 to close, the water path between the water inlet pipe 1 and the side pipe 1 2 is blocked, and the water path between the side pipe 2 4 and the water outlet pipe 5 is also blocked.

[0029] If the side pipe 1 (2) is connected to the water inlet of the water purifier, and the side pipe 2 (4) is connected to the purified water outlet of the water purifier, then:

[0030] When the handle assembly 7 is in the first gear position, tap water enters the water inlet of the water purifier through the side pipe 1 2, is filtered by the filter element, and then flows out from the side pipe 2 4, and finally flows out through the outlet pipe 5 to provide purified water output;

[0031] When the handle assembly 7 is rotated to the second gear position, the water inlet channel of the water purifier is blocked, but the purified water outlet channel is unblocked. In this case, the pressure can be relieved through the outlet pipe 5 and the filter element can be replaced. The water flowing out during the pressure relief can flow out through the outlet pipe 5, providing a safe condition for replacing the filter element.

[0032] When the handle assembly 7 is rotated to the third gear position, the water inlet channel and the purified water outlet channel of the water purifier are both closed;

[0033] Therefore, the novel multifunctional faucet further provides a safety valve for the water inlet channel and the purified water outlet channel of the water purifier, and the working state of the water purifier can be controlled by the rotation position of the handle assembly 7.

[0034] The first gear position, the second gear position, and the third gear position can be arranged in sequence, or the first gear position, the third gear position, and the second gear position can be arranged in sequence, and there is no limitation on this.
