[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a multifunctional faucet control device proposed by the present invention includes a body 16, a valve core 15 is placed at the bottom end of the body 16, a valve core rod 8 is connected to the middle position of the top of the valve core 15, a sleeve 2 is connected to the top of the valve core rod 8, and a button 1 is connected to the top of the sleeve 2;

[0027] The body 16 is provided with a transmission mechanism 18 installed above the valve core 15. The top outer wall of the transmission mechanism 18 is meshedly connected with the hand wheel 4, and the bottom of the transmission mechanism 18 is provided with a connecting rod penetrating the outer wall of the body 16. The connecting rod and the transmission mechanism 18 are screwed and fixed by screws B21. A spring 20 is embedded in the connecting rod, and a steel ball 19 is placed in the gap between the top of the spring 20 and the body 16.

[0028] The outer wall of the body 16 is sleeved with a fixing nut 13 , and a stainless steel gasket 12 , a gasket 11 , a first O-ring 10 and a decorative gland 9 are stacked above the fixing nut 13 , and a hand wheel 4 is placed on the top of the decorative gland 9 .

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the second O-ring 14 is used to be sleeved on the transmission mechanism 18 so as to reduce the gap between it and the body 16, thereby reducing the structural swing and improving the hand feel when rotating the hand wheel 4.

[0030] It should be noted that:

[0031] 1. The button 1, the sleeve 2, the valve core rod 8 and the valve core 15 are a pressing control unit; by pressing the button 1, the valve core rod 8 presses down the valve core 15, and the water flow can be opened or closed comfortably and conveniently.

[0032] 2. The handwheel 4 and the transmission mechanism 18 are a rotation control unit; rotating the handwheel 4 drives the connecting rod on the transmission mechanism 18 to rotate, and the drainage function of the sink drain is opened and closed according to the rotation direction. The connecting rod transmission structure replaces the gear and rack transmission structure, which reduces the product's precision requirements while increasing the stability of the transmission and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the transmission mechanism 18 is an internal hollow structure, and the valve core rod 8 connected to the top of the valve core 15 passes through the interior of the transmission mechanism 18; the valve core rod 8 passes through the interior of the transmission mechanism 18, and the valve core rod 8 has no contact with the transmission mechanism 18 during the pressing action, and directly acts on the valve core 15.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, an A wear-reducing ring 3 is clamped in the gap between the ferrule 2 and the handwheel 4, and a B wear-reducing ring 7 is clamped in the gap between the handwheel 4 and the decorative pressure cover 9; the A wear-reducing ring 3 is used to separate the ferrule 2 and the handwheel 4 to prevent the ferrule 2 from wearing the inside of the handwheel 4 under the pressure of the button 1; when the handwheel 4 rotates, it is separated by the B wear-reducing ring 7, which can reduce the friction between the decorative pressure cover 9.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, a through hole is provided on the outer wall of the handwheel 4, a screw A5 is threaded in the through hole, and the external gap at the connection between the screw A5 and the through hole is filled with a silicone plug 6; the screw A5 inserted into the through hole on the handwheel 4 is used to limit the rotation angle of the handwheel 4. When it is rotated clockwise, the sink drain is opened, and vice versa, when it is rotated counterclockwise, the sink drain is closed.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a cover is provided on the outer wall of the body 16 , and a sealing cover 17 is inserted into the cover. The sealing cover 17 seals the opening of the outer wall of the body 16 to maintain the overall sealing of the body 16 .

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a pipe threaded opening is provided at the bottom of the body 16 for threading a water pipe to install the body 16 , and the installation position can be adjusted according to the position of the water pipe.

[0038] In the present invention, in order to prevent operating errors, the switch of the faucet and the control valve of the sink drain are separated. Specifically, the control device is built with two independent control units, namely a longitudinal pressing control unit and a latitudinal rotation control unit. The longitudinal pressing control unit can press the button 1 and the valve core rod 8 to press the valve core 15, so as to comfortably and conveniently open or close the water flow. The latitudinal rotation control unit drives the connecting rod on the transmission mechanism 18 to rotate by rotating the hand wheel 4, and opens and closes the sink drain function according to different rotation directions. The two control units are independent individuals, do not interfere with each other during use, and are convenient to use.

[0039] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present invention are only used to illustrate or explain the principles of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, the appended claims of the present invention are intended to cover all changes and modifications that fall within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or the equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
