[0015] From the above description of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] When the slider is in the first position, the second water outlet can be connected with the third water outlet, so that water can flow into the water outlet chamber through the water inlet chamber and the sliding chamber. When the slider is in the second position, the connection between the second water outlet and the third water outlet is blocked by the blocking portion, and the water outlet chamber stops discharging water.

[0017] 2. The blocking part switches the connection between the water inlet chamber and the water outlet chamber by switching the first blocking port and the second blocking port in the blocking sliding chamber. The user can drive the sliding part up and down by pulling, so that the user can open or close the water outlet.

[0018] 3. The blocking portion includes a first blocking portion and a second blocking portion. A water flow channel is also provided on the sliding member. The first blocking portion blocks the first water flow outlet when the sliding member is in the first position. At this time, the communication between the water flow channel and the water inlet chamber is blocked by the first blocking portion and the second blocking portion respectively. At the same time, the first blocking portion is away from the second water flow outlet when the sliding member is in the second position. At this time, the water flow channel is connected with the water inlet chamber through the first water flow outlet and the second water flow outlet, and the communication between the second water flow outlet and the third water flow outlet is blocked. Therefore, all water flows out through the water flow channel. This structure allows the user to switch between the two water outlet functions by pulling.

The end face seal can avoid excessive friction between the sealing ring on the sealing part and the inner wall of the sliding cavity, which causes the sliding part to be unable to automatically reset under the action of the elastic part. The axial seal can ensure a good sealing effect, avoid water leakage, and ensure that the sliding part is subjected to sufficient downward pressure when in the first position.

[0020] 5. The sliding cavity is provided with a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface at the first sealing port and the second sealing port, so that the second sealing ring on the second sealing part can abut against the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface in the first position and the second position, and the deformation of the second sealing ring is more uniform and the sealing effect is better.

[0021] 6. An operating member and a connecting member are provided. The operating member and the connecting member overlap with each other, and the overlapping direction is downward. The connecting member is fixedly connected to the sliding member. When the user pulls the operating member, the connecting member moves downward, thereby driving the sliding member to move downward.

[0022] 7. The main body includes the faucet body and the sliding seat. When assembling, first install the sliding part into the faucet body and then install the sliding seat.

[0023] 8. Set up a regulating valve and use it to adjust the water flow rate of the water inlet chamber, so as to control the opening and closing of the water inlet chamber and the size of the flow rate.

[0024] 9. Set up external pipes and shower heads, and use the external pipes to connect the water outlet channel to deliver water to the shower head.

[0025] 10. A bubbler is provided to make the water flow more gently when the faucet uses the water outlet cavity to discharge water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural explosion diagram of an embodiment of a water faucet provided by the present invention is shown. The embodiment of the water faucet includes a faucet body 10, a switching component, an adjustment component, an external pipe 35, a shower head (not shown in the figure) and a bubbler 36.

[0042] Coordinate Reference Figures 2 to 5 The faucet body 10 is provided with a water inlet cavity 11 for water inlet, a water outlet cavity 12 for water outlet, and an installation cavity for installing a switching component.

[0043] The installation cavity is provided with a first water outlet 111 at its upper end, a second water outlet 112 on its middle sidewall, and a sliding cavity water outlet 132 below the second water outlet 112. The first water outlet 111 communicates with the water inlet cavity 11, the second water outlet 112 communicates with the water inlet cavity 11, and the sliding cavity water outlet 132 communicates with the water outlet cavity 12. A first inclined surface 131 extending annularly and facing downward is also provided on the inner wall of the installation cavity. The first inclined surface 131 is located between the first water outlet 111 and the second water outlet 112, forming a first sealing opening. By sealing the first sealing opening, the connection between the first water outlet 111 and the second water outlet 112 is cut off within the installation cavity.

[0044] The faucet body 10 is provided with a water inlet connected to the water inlet chamber 11 and an installation port for installing an adjustment component at the water inlet chamber 11; the faucet body 10 is also provided with a water outlet connected to the water outlet chamber 12 at the water outlet chamber 12, and the water outlet is used to install a bubbler 36. The bubbler 36 can make the water flow discharged through the water outlet chamber 12 rich in bubbles, making the water discharge gentler and improving the user's comfort.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The regulating assembly includes a regulating valve 31, a mounting seat 32, an end cover 33 and a handle 34.

[0046] The regulating assembly is mounted on the faucet body 10 through a mounting port thereon. The regulating valve extends into the water inlet chamber 11 and is used to adjust the flow rate of water entering the water inlet chamber 11. The flow rate adjustment range includes shutting off the water inlet. A mounting base 32 is fixedly connected to the faucet body 10 and is used to mount and secure the regulating valve 31. An end cap 33 is mounted on the mounting base 32. A handle 34 is connected to the valve stem of the regulating valve 31 to facilitate user operation of the regulating valve 31. The regulating assembly described herein is prior art and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can refer to the structural implementation of other similar regulating assemblies.

[0047] Reference Figures 2 to 7 The switching assembly includes a sliding member 21, an elastic member 22, a sliding seat 23, an operating member 24, a connecting member 25 and several sealing rings.

[0048] The sliding seat 23 cooperates with the faucet body 10 to form the main body of the faucet. The sliding seat 23 is provided with a sliding seat external thread 232, through which the sliding seat 23 can be screwed and fixed to the faucet body 10. The sliding seat external thread 232 cooperates with the mounting cavity to form a sliding cavity 13, in which the sliding member 21 and the elastic member 22 are installed. The sliding seat 23 is provided with a sliding seat water outlet 231. When the sliding seat 23 is installed on the faucet body 10, the sliding seat water outlet 231 is aligned with the sliding cavity water outlet 132. The sliding seat water outlet 231 and the sliding cavity water outlet 132 cooperate to form a third water outlet. The sliding cavity 13 is connected to the water outlet cavity 12 through the third water outlet. The inner wall at the upper end of the sliding seat 23 is provided with a second inclined surface 234 extending in an annular manner and pointing upward. After the sliding seat 23 is installed on the faucet body 10, the position of the second inclined surface 234 is located between the second water outlet 112 and the third water outlet. It surrounds and forms a second blocking port. By blocking the second blocking port, the connection between the second water outlet 112 and the third water outlet can be cut off inside the sliding cavity.

[0049] In addition, sealing rings are installed between the sliding seat 23 and the installation cavity on both the upper and lower sides of the sliding seat water outlet 231.

[0050] Reference Figure 2and Figure 4 The sliding member 21 is a rod-shaped member with a hollow interior forming a water passage 217. A sealing portion is also provided on its upper side. The sealing portion includes a first sealing portion 212 and a second sealing portion 213. The first sealing portion 212 is located above the second sealing portion 213. A water inlet 214, which forms the water inlet port of the water passage 217, is located between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion. The water outlet port of the water passage 217 is located at the lower end of the sliding member 21. When the sliding member 21 is installed in the sliding cavity 13, the water outlet port of the water passage 217 is located at the end of the sliding member 21 away from the first water outlet 111.

[0051] The upper end surface of the first blocking portion 212 is the top end surface of the sliding member 21, and this end surface forms the first blocking portion pressure-bearing surface 2121. The second blocking portion 213 is an annular flange structure protruding outward from the sliding member 21, having a lower end surface facing downward and an upper end surface facing upward. The upper end surface of the second blocking portion 213 forms the second blocking portion upper pressure-bearing surface 2131, and the lower end surface forms the second blocking portion lower pressure-bearing surface 2132. The first blocking portion pressure-bearing surface 2121 and the second blocking portion upper pressure-bearing surface 2131 cooperate to form the first pressure-bearing surface, and the second blocking portion lower pressure-bearing surface 2132 forms the second pressure-bearing surface. It should be noted that the area of ​​the first pressure-bearing surface is larger than that of the second pressure-bearing surface.

[0052] The sliding member 21 can slide up and down in the sliding cavity 13 relative to the body, and the sliding member 21 can switch between a first position and a second position. A sliding seat sealing ring 233 is installed between the sliding member 21 and the sliding seat 23. The sliding seat sealing ring 233 is preferably an X-shaped sealing ring to ensure the sealing between the sliding member 21 and the sliding seat 23. Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the sliding member 21 being in the first position, Figure 6 for Figure 5The enlarged view of part A in the middle shows that when the sliding part 21 is in the first position, the first blocking part 212 blocks the first water outlet 111, the second blocking part 213 blocks the first blocking port, the second water outlet 112 is connected to the third water outlet, and water flows out of the water outlet chamber 12. At this time, a part of the first pressure-bearing surface (i.e., the pressure-bearing surface 2121 of the first blocking part) is connected to the water inlet chamber 11 through the first water outlet 111, and the water flow will exert downward pressure on the first pressure-bearing surface. At the same time, the second pressure-bearing surface is connected to the water inlet chamber 11 through the second water outlet 112, and the water flow will exert upward pressure on the second pressure-bearing surface. When the sliding member 21 is in the second position, the first blocking portion 212 is away from the first water outlet 111, the second blocking portion 213 blocks the second blocking port, the connection between the second water outlet 112 and the third water outlet is blocked, the water outlet chamber 12 stops discharging water, and the water passage 217 is connected to the water inlet chamber through the first water outlet 111 and the second water outlet 112, and the water passage 217 forms water outlet. At this time, a part of the first pressure-bearing surface (i.e., the upper pressure-bearing surface 2131 of the second blocking portion) is connected to the water inlet chamber 11 through the first water outlet 111 and the second water outlet 112, and the water flow will exert downward pressure on the first pressure-bearing surface, while the second pressure-bearing surface is connected to the water outlet chamber 12 through the third water outlet. Since the third water outlet does not discharge water at this time, the second pressure-bearing surface is not subjected to water flow pressure. Since when the sliding member 21 is in the first position, the user needs to overcome the upward elastic force of the elastic member 22 and the pressure of the water flow on the lower pressure-bearing surface 2132 of the second blocking part when driving the sliding member 21 downward, and at the same time, the water flow has a downward auxiliary pressure on the pressure-bearing surface 2121 of the first blocking part. Therefore, when the sliding member 21 is in the first position, when the user drives the sliding member 21 to move downward, the water flow pressure on the pressure-bearing surface 2121 of the first blocking part offsets all or part of the elastic force of the elastic member 22 and the pressure of the water flow on the lower pressure-bearing surface 2131 of the second blocking part. Therefore, the user can use less force, making the operation easier, and after the sliding member 21 moves from the first position to the second position, the sliding member 21 can be kept in the second position by the water flow pressure.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be noted that by setting appropriate parameters, the force exerted by the user when driving the slider 21 downward can be effectively reduced. Specifically, as one embodiment, the ratio of the area of ​​the first blocking portion pressure-bearing surface 2121 to the second blocking portion lower pressure-bearing surface 2132 can be set within a range of 0.4 to 0.6, while the elastic force of the elastic member 22 is set within a range of 6 N to 12 N. Through these settings, the force exerted by the user when pulling down the slider 21 can be reduced without affecting the water flow rate.

[0054] In addition, a first sealing ring 215 is sleeved on the first sealing portion 212, and a second sealing ring 216 is sleeved on the second sealing portion 213. Furthermore, the first sealing portion 212 seals against the first water outlet 111 in an axial manner, while the second sealing portion 213 seals against the first and second sealing ports in an end-face manner, thereby reducing friction between the sealing rings and the inner wall of the sliding cavity 13.

[0055] In addition, a sliding member external thread 211 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom end of the sliding member 21 .

[0056] The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the sliding member 21, and one end thereof abuts against the sliding seat 23, and the other end abuts against the lower pressure-bearing surface 2132 of the second sealing portion of the second sealing portion 213, that is, abuts against the second pressure-bearing surface. The elastic member 22 can apply an upward force to the sliding member 21. When the water inlet of the water inlet chamber 11 is cut off, the elastic member 22 can drive the sliding member 21 to reset from the second position to the first position.

[0057] Connector 25 is provided with an internal thread that can be threadedly engaged with external threads 211 on slider 21 to securely connect connector 25 to slider 21. After being secured to slider 21, connector 25 can be sleeved outside slider seat 23. Connector 25 also has external threads 252 on its bottom outer wall that can be threadedly engaged with external pipe 35. Connector 25 is provided with a water outlet channel 253. One end of this water outlet channel 253 communicates with water passage 217 and the other end can communicate with external pipe 35 threaded onto connector 25, thereby directing water through water passage 217 and water outlet channel 253 into external pipe 35. A showerhead can be mounted on the other end of external pipe 35, allowing water to be supplied to the showerhead. The user can switch between faucet and showerhead water flow by driving slider 21 up and down.

[0058] In addition, an annular flange 251 is protruding outward from the outer wall of the middle portion of the connecting member 25 .

[0059] The operating member 24 is a ring with a downward-facing step surface on its inner wall. The operating member 24 can be sleeved on the outside of the connecting member 25, and the step surface on its inner wall overlaps the flange 251 on the connecting member 25. The user can drive the sliding member 21 to move downward by pulling the operating member 24 downward.

[0060] During installation, first install the adjustment assembly and the aerator 36 to the faucet body 10, then connect the shower head to the external pipe 35, then install the slider 21 into the slider seat 23, screw the connector 25 onto the slider 21, and then screw the operating member 24 onto the outer surface of the connector 25. Finally, screw the assembled switching assembly to the faucet body 10.

[0061] The present invention provides a water faucet, which provides first and second pressure-bearing surfaces on the sliding member 21 and first, second and third water outlets in the faucet body 10. When the sliding member 21 is in the first position, the water inlet chamber 11 will apply pressure to the first pressure-bearing surface on the sliding member 21 through the first water outlet 111, so that the sliding member 21 has a downward auxiliary force, thereby reducing the resistance of the sliding member 21 to sliding downward. The user can more conveniently pull the sliding member 21 downward to achieve the function of opening and closing or switching the water path.

[0062] The above description and embodiments are intended to explain the scope of protection of the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereto. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of the present invention or portions thereof that can be obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the teachings of the present invention or the above embodiments, combined with common knowledge, ordinary technical knowledge in the field, and / or prior art, should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
