In this embodiment, the distance between the two groups of sealing rings 32 is wider than the upper water outlet 12 and also wider than the lower water outlet 13; a transverse reinforcement strip 312 is provided on the top of the movable sleeve 3, and an internal threaded hole 313 is provided in the middle of the transverse reinforcement strip 312; the adjusting rod 2 includes a rotating portion 21 and a threaded section 22, and an outwardly expanded flange 23 is provided between the rotating portion 21 and the threaded section 22, and the diameter of the flange 23 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole slot 11 of the shell body 1, and the mounting hole slot 11 is provided with an inwardly concave step edge inside the shell body 1, and the size of the inwardly concave step edge is the same as that of the adjusting rod 2. The flange 23 of the section rod 2 is adapted to each other, and the rotating part 21 of the adjusting rod 2 extends from the inside of the shell 1 to the outside of the mounting hole groove 11. The flange 23 is inserted into the concave step edge below the mounting hole groove 11 and fits against the mounting hole groove 11. At the same time, the rotating part 21 extends out of the shell 1 and is provided with an annular groove 14 at the top end surface of the shell 1. A snap ring 311 is snapped into the annular groove 14, so that the adjusting rod 2 can be horizontally rotated in the mounting hole groove 11 under force.

When the adjusting rod 2 rotates, the threaded section 22 drives the movable sleeve 3 to move up or down in the housing 1 along the guide posts 38. During the up or down movement, the barrier wall 33 outside the movable sleeve 3 switches to block the upper water outlet 12 or the lower water outlet 13 of the housing 1.

[0025] A convex edge 39 is provided at the water inlet 37 of the mounting seat 36 extending into the housing 1 to form a cavity 310. A check valve 4 is sealed in the cavity 310. Water flows from the water inlet 37 of the mounting seat 36 into the movable sleeve 3 through the check valve 4. The guide column 38 is located on the convex edge 39. A countersunk hole 24 is provided on the top of the adjusting rod 2. The countersunk hole 24 is polygonal. In this embodiment, the countersunk hole 24 is hexagonal.

By rotating the adjusting rod 2 with the hexagonal wrench 7, the adjusting rod 2 can control the upward and downward movement of the movable sleeve 3.

[0026] The water channel switching chambers 54 on both sides are arranged side by side with the mixing valve core chamber 50 , and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mixing valve core chamber 50 along the central axis of the mixing valve core chamber 50 .

[0027] like Figure 4-8 As shown, a thermostatic water inlet valve structure comprises a first water inlet 51, a second water inlet 52, a mixing water valve core cavity 50, and a mixed water outlet 53 on its main body 5, wherein a mixing water valve core is placed in the mixing water valve core cavity 50. In this embodiment, a more common thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is adopted, and the mixing water valve core cavity 50 and the corresponding parts of the cold and hot water inlets 62 and the water outlet 63 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 inside it are sealed with opening structures, which are respectively a cold water opening 501, a hot water opening 502 and a mixing water opening 503. The water outlet 63 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is connected to the mixed water outlet 53 through the mixing water opening of the mixing water valve core cavity 50. A water path switching cavity 54 is provided between the first water inlet 51 leading to the mixing water valve core cavity 50 and between the second water inlet 52 leading to the mixing water valve core cavity 50. A water inlet channel 541 and two water outlet channels are provided on the cavity wall of the water path switching cavity 54. 5421, 5422, the water inlet channel 541 and the two water outlet channels 5421, 5422 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top, the water inlet channels 541 of the two water path switching chambers 54 are connected with the corresponding first water inlet 51 or the second water inlet 52, and the water outlet channels 5421, 5422 are connected with the cold water opening 501 and the hot water opening 502 of the mixing valve core chamber 50 respectively; a water path switching valve core 10 is provided in each of the two water path switching chambers 54, the upper water outlet 12 of the water path switching valve core 10 is connected with the water outlet channel 5421 of the water path switching chamber 54, and the lower water outlet 13 is connected with the water outlet channel 5422 of the water path switching chamber 54, and the barrier wall 33 outside the movable sleeve 3 is located outside the upper water outlet 12 or the lower water outlet 13 as needed; the water inlet 37 of the water path switching core mounting seat 36 is connected with the water inlet channel 541 of the water path switching chamber 54.

[0028] The upper and lower positions of the movable sleeve 3 in the shell 1 are adjusted as needed to select the external barrier wall 33 of the movable sleeve 3 to be located outside the upper water outlet 12 or the lower water outlet 13. When the external barrier wall 33 of the movable sleeve 3 is located at the upper water outlet 12, the water outlet of the upper water outlet 12 is blocked, and the lower water outlet 13 is exposed, then the water in the movable sleeve 3 flows out from the lower water outlet 13; on the contrary, when the external barrier wall 33 of the movable sleeve 3 is located at the lower water outlet 13, the water outlet of the lower water outlet 13 is blocked, and the upper water outlet 12 is exposed, then the water in the movable sleeve 3 flows out from the upper water outlet 12.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, under normal conditions, the left side of a thermostatic water inlet valve structure is the second water inlet 52, which corresponds to the hot water source; the right side is the first water inlet 51, which corresponds to the cold water source; in this embodiment, the cold water inlet 61 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is located at the top and communicated with the upper water outlet 12 of the waterway switching valve core 10 on both sides, and the hot water inlet 62 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is located at the bottom and communicated with the lower water outlet 13 of the waterway switching valve core 10 on both sides;

[0031] At this time, the movable sleeve 3 of the water circuit switching valve core 10 in the water circuit switching chamber 54 on the left is adjusted upward, so that the external barrier wall 33 is located at the upper water outlet 12. Since the upper and lower positions of the external barrier wall 33 are both provided with sealing rings 32, the two sealing rings 32 are tightly matched with the housing 1, effectively blocking the water from flowing out of the upper water outlet 12, and the hot water flows out from the lower water outlet 13 of the water circuit switching valve core 10 on the left, and then enters the hot water inlet 62 of the constant temperature mixing valve core 6 through the water outlet channel 5422; the water circuit on the right The movable sleeve 3 of the water circuit switching valve core 10 in the switching chamber 54 is adjusted downward so that the external barrier wall 33 is located at the lower water outlet 13, and the two sealing rings 32 block the water flow out of the lower water outlet 13. The cold water flows out from the upper water outlet 12 of the right water circuit switching valve core 10, and then enters the cold water inlet 61 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6 through the water outlet channel 5421; after the cold water and the hot water are mixed in the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6, they flow out to the mixed water outlet 53 of the main body 5 through the water outlet 63 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6.

[0032] If you encounter Figure 7 In the situation shown, the left side is the second water inlet 52, but the left side corresponds to the cold water source; the right side is the first water inlet 51, but the right side corresponds to the hot water source. If the movable sleeve 3 of the water channel switching valve core 10 in the two water channel switching chambers 54 is set in the manner described above, it will cause abnormal water flow in the constant temperature mixing valve core 6, that is, hot water will enter the cold water inlet 61 of the constant temperature mixing valve core 6, and cold water will enter the hot water inlet 62 of the constant temperature mixing valve core 6;

[0033] In this case, due to the reasonable configuration of the present invention, it is only necessary to Figure 6-7 As shown, a hexagonal wrench 7 is inserted into the countersunk hole 24 of the adjusting rod 2, and the adjusting rod 2 is rotated by the hexagonal wrench 7 to adjust the direction of the movable sleeve 3 in each water channel switching valve core:

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the movable sleeve 3 of the water path switching valve core 10 in the water path switching chamber 54 on the left is adjusted downward, so that the external barrier wall 33 is located at the lower water outlet 13 to block the water flow out of the lower water outlet 13, and the cold water on the left flows out from the upper water outlet 12 of the left water path switching valve core 10, and then enters the cold water inlet 61 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6; the movable sleeve 3 of the water path switching valve core 10 in the water path switching chamber 54 on the right is adjusted upward, so that the external barrier wall 33 is located at the upper water outlet 12 to block the water flow out of the upper water outlet 12, and the hot water on the right flows out from the lower water outlet 13 of the right water path switching valve core 10, and then enters the hot water inlet 62 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6; after the cold water and the hot water are mixed in the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6, they flow out to the mixed water outlet 53 of the main body 5 through the water outlet 63 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6; as shown Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 5 , a switch valve core 8 is provided on the mixed water outlet 53 , and the valve core switch 8 is used to control the water outlet.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, the left side is the second water inlet 52, and the left side corresponds to the hot water source; the right side is the first water inlet 51, and the right side corresponds to the cold water source; in this embodiment, the hot water inlet 62 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is located at the top and communicated with the upper water outlet 12 of the waterway switching valve core 10 on both sides, and the cold water inlet 61 of the thermostatic water mixing valve core 6 is located at the bottom and communicated with the lower water outlet 13 of the waterway switching valve core 10 on both sides;

[0037] At this time, it is only necessary to adjust the movable sleeve 3 in the water circuit switching valve core 10 and change the water outlet direction of the water circuit switching valve cores 10 on both sides. The water circuits of the cold and hot water can be easily changed without refitting the cold and hot water sources or reinstalling the constant temperature water inlet valve structure, thereby ensuring that the water flows entering the cold water inlet 61 and the hot water inlet 62 of the constant temperature mixing water valve core 6 are correctly configured.
