[0018] Compared with the prior art, the above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The water outlet assembly is rotatably connected with the water passing part, and the water outlet assembly is provided with a first water outlet path and a second water outlet path. The first water outlet path and the second water outlet path have independent water outlets (first water outlet and second water outlet). When switching different water outlet modes, the first water outlet and the second water outlet can be switched by rotating the water outlet assembly. Specifically, when the lower water outlet is needed, the water outlet assembly is rotated to the first water outlet and the second water outlet inclined towards the front lower side, so that the first water outlet path is connected through the water path, and the second water outlet is closed. At this time, the water flow flows out of the first water outlet, and the user can receive water or perform flushing operation below the first water outlet. When the upper water outlet is needed, the water outlet assembly is rotated to the first water outlet and the second water outlet inclined towards the front upper side, so that the first water outlet is closed, and the second water outlet is connected through the water path. At this time, the water flow flows out of the second water outlet to form an inclined throwing water trajectory. The user can use his mouth to receive water, perform oral cleaning or implement face washing operation by bending over to make his face close to the water trajectory. During the operation, the user only needs to operate the water outlet assembly to rotate it relative to the faucet body, so as to realize water path switching to meet different use requirements. The operation is convenient and easy to use. In addition, when the switching operation is implemented, the area of the first water outlet or the second water outlet connected with the water path will gradually decrease until it is disconnected during rotation. Therefore, the first water outlet and the second water outlet will not output water flow when they are rotated to the two sides of the faucet body, so the environment around the sink will not be wetted, which ensures that the water path switching purpose can be achieved only by rotating the water outlet assembly, without the need to close the valve of the faucet body. The operation is convenient, and the user's satisfaction is higher. In the technical solution, the first water outlet is arranged around the outer periphery of the second water outlet, that is, the first water outlet and the second water outlet are coaxially arranged. Therefore, in terms of technology, the mold opening of the water outlet assembly is simpler and the manufacturing cost is lower. In terms of structure, the external structure of the water outlet assembly is more simple and beautiful, which meets the aesthetic needs of the public. In terms of function, according to the water needs of ordinary flushing and oral cleaning or face washing flushing, corresponding water outlets can be installed on the first water outlet and the second water outlet to output different water splashes. For example, a bubble component can be installed on the first water outlet to provide a water flow with greater flushing force to meet the daily ordinary flushing needs while saving water resources.

[0020] 2. In the technical solution, the first water outlet and the second water outlet are arranged opposite to each other along the vertical direction of the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly. Therefore, the center axes of the first water outlet, the second water outlet and the water outlet port of the water passing part are perpendicular to the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly, and the water outlet direction of the water passing part is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the water outlet assembly. Therefore, during the operation, the rotation operation of the water outlet assembly is not affected by the water pressure of the water passing part, and the operation is more labor-saving.

[0021] 3. The rotation axis of the water outlet assembly is parallel to the extension direction of the water passing part, and the water outlet assembly is coaxial with the faucet body at all times, so that the structural integrity is better. In addition, the operation principle of the water outlet assembly with this relationship is more in line with the public's prediction and usage habits. Even if the user faces the faucet for the first time, they can quickly judge the operation mode of the water outlet assembly, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0022] 4. The rotation cooperation of the convex part and the concave part improves the stability of the rotation of the water outlet assembly relative to the faucet body. The sealing part is arranged on the outer wall of the convex part, so that the water passing port can be sealed and connected with the first water distribution port or the second water distribution port with a simple structure, and the water passing path and the first water outlet path or the second water outlet path can be sealed and communicated.

[0023] 5. The water distribution body is rotationally connected with the convex part in axial limiting and forms the first water distribution port and the second water distribution port. The water outlet body is fixedly sleeved on the water distribution body, so that the water distribution body is hidden in the inner side of the water outlet body, improving the appearance of the structure. Since the end of the water outlet body facing the water passing part abuts against the water passing part, the cooperation degree between the water outlet body and the faucet body is higher, the gap is small, and the structural integrity is better. The water outlet body cooperates with the water distribution body in the inner side to form the first water channel and the second water channel for water distribution. The water outlet element is installed in the installation groove and is provided with the third water channel and the fourth water channel. The third water channel and the fourth water channel are respectively communicated with the first water channel and the second water channel to form the first water outlet path and the second water outlet path. The water path is segmented, which is beneficial to facilitate the molding of the structure. By arranging the bubbling structure in the third water channel, the water flow of the faucet can fully mix with air, improve the water flow flushing strength, reduce the water consumption, and save water resources.

[0024] 6. The water outlet end of the fourth water channel protrudes from the water outlet end of the third water channel. In the upper water outlet state, the parabolic water outlet trajectory formed by the fourth water channel can reach a higher height, thereby reducing the degree of bending over of the user during use and improving the user's satisfaction. In addition, the water outlet end of the fourth water channel protruding from the water outlet end of the third water channel can also prevent the water flow output by the fourth water channel from being diverted to the water outlet surface of the third water channel, ensuring that the water flow of the fourth water channel is not lost.

[0025] 7. The first screw element is screwed with the water distribution body and one end thereof protrudes into the guide groove. The first screw element cooperates with the guide groove to guide and axially limit the rotation of the water distribution body. The structure is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0026] 8. The second screw element is used to fix the water outlet body and the water distribution body. The structure is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble. The second screw element is located in the assembly groove, and the decorative cover can cover and seal the open end of the assembly groove. On the appearance, the user can only observe the first water outlet port and the second water outlet port, but cannot observe any connection structure, so that the faucet has good overall integrity and ornamental effect.

[0027] 9. By setting the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove on the water passing part, and setting the pin groove on the water outlet assembly, and correspondingly setting the positioning pin and the elastic member in the pin groove, when the water outlet assembly is rotated to the position relative to the faucet body, it can be accurately and stably parked at the corresponding circumferential position; during rotation, the cooperation of the positioning pin and the first positioning groove or the second positioning groove will form a certain gear feeling and can emit a corresponding click sound, prompting the user that it has been rotated to the position, so that the user has a good operation experience; in addition, the setting of the positioning structure makes the rotation direction of the water outlet assembly relative to the faucet body not be limited, and the degree of freedom of user operation is higher.

[0028] 10. In the faucet body, since the first part of the water passing part is stopper inserted into the extension section, the water passing part is fixed relative to the extension section in the circumferential direction, and since the two ends of the annular flange are respectively abutted by the first limiting surface and the third screw element, and the third screw element is screwed with the inner wall of the extension section, the water passing part is fixed relative to the extension section, and the water passing part is fixed to the extension section with a simple structure, convenient to disassemble and assemble; the inner tube is in communication with the water passing passage in the water passing part and is used for water passing, and the outer tube does not need to be used for water passing, so it will not move due to water pressure changes, therefore, the connection structure of the outer tube, the inner tube and the water passing part has good stability, and can prevent water leakage.

[0029] 11. The fourth screw element is sleeved on the outer tube and is screwed and fixed with the inner tube, and the two ends thereof are respectively abutted by the second limiting surface and the end surface of the first part, therefore, the top of the fourth screw element and the inner tube are fixed relative to the water passing part and the extension section, and the inner tube has good structural stability, and has good water passage communication effect with the water passing part, and is not easy to leak.

[0030] 12. The bottom of the connecting seat is screwed with the mounting hole, therefore, the connecting seat is fixed relative to the mounting seat; the second connecting section is sealingly inserted into the connecting channel and is fixed relative to each other in the vertical direction, the inner tube is in communication with the connecting channel and is fixed; the limiting member is sleeved on the outer of the connecting seat and is fixed relative to the connecting seat in the vertical direction, the first connecting section is sleeved on the outer of the connecting seat and the limiting member and is formed in clamping connection with the limiting member, and the bottom of the inner tube and the outer tube is fixed to the mounting seat through the connecting seat and the limiting member, and the structure is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0031] 13. Since the water pressure is different in different places, by setting the flow stabilizing element, a relatively stable water flow can be discharged from the second water outlet passage to improve the user's use experience, wherein the deformation amount of the deformation part increases with the increase of the water pressure, and gradually reduces the flow area of the water passing flow channel.

Specifically, the first connecting section 112 of the outer tube 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting seat 17, and the bottom end thereof abuts against the top end of the mounting seat 16. The first connecting section 112 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting seat 17 from top to bottom, and in the process of moving, the side wall thereof abuts against the elastic buckle 181 and deforms inwardly. When the bottom end of the first connecting section 112 abuts against the top end of the mounting seat 16 and the clamping groove 1121 corresponds to the elastic buckle 181, the elastic buckle 181 restores its deformation, and the clamping head is clamped into the clamping groove 1121, thereby establishing a fixed connection relationship between the limiting member 18 and the second connecting section 141.

[0081] The U-shaped buckle 19 is used to connect the inner tube 14 and the connecting seat 17.

[0082] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 The friction disc 20 is of a ring structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second part 123 and abuts against the end face of the first part 122 for connecting the second part 123. The inner wall thereof is provided with a second rotation-stopping protrusion 201, which is matched and inserted into the second rotation-stopping groove 1223 to stop the rotation of the friction disc 20 relative to the water passing member 12. The friction disc 20 is provided with a first positioning groove 202 and a second positioning groove 203 on the side away from the first part 122, and the first positioning groove 202 and the second positioning groove 203 are located on the same radial direction.

[0084] Preferably, in the embodiment, the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 2 is parallel to the extension direction of the water passing part, and the water outlet assembly 2 is coaxial with the faucet body 1 at all times, so that the overall structure is better, and in addition, the operation principle of the water outlet assembly 2 under this relationship is more in line with the public's prediction and use habits, so that even if the user faces the faucet for the first time, he can quickly judge the operation mode of the water outlet assembly 2, and it is convenient for the user to operate.

[0085] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 , the water outlet assembly 2 comprises a water distribution body 21, a water outlet body 22, a water outlet element 23, a first screw element 24, a second screw element 25, a decorative cover 26 and a flow stabilizing element 27.

[0086] In the embodiment, the water outlet assembly 2 is provided with a recessed part 211, which is rotationally connected with the protruding part around the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 2, and the side wall thereof abuts against the sealing part and is provided with a first water distribution port 2111 and a second water distribution port 2112 for switching communication with the water passing port 1241.

[0087] Specifically, the recessed part 211 is arranged on the water distribution body 21, and the water distribution body 21 is rotationally connected to the protruding part by the recessed part 211 to form axial limiting, and the structure of the water distribution body 21 is as shown in Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 11 to 13As shown, the main structure of the body is in the form of a sleeve with one end open and the other end closed, and the inner cavity constitutes a recess 211 for matching insertion of the second part 123 (the convex part) of the water passing element 12, and when inserted in place, the sealing part is in sealing abutment with the inner cavity of the water distribution body 21. The cavity wall of the inner cavity of the water distribution body 21 is provided with a first water distribution port 2111 and a second water distribution port 2112; the side wall of the water distribution body 21 is provided with a threaded hole 212 and a pin groove 214; the threaded hole 212 extends perpendicular to the axial direction of the water distribution body 21, and one end thereof extends into the inner cavity of the water distribution body 21; the pin groove 214 extends along the axial direction of the water distribution body 21, and one end thereof extends to the end face of the water distribution body 21 having an opening, i.e., in this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 2 is provided with a pin groove 214 extending parallel to the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 2. The outer wall of the water distribution body 21 is further provided with a water distribution part 213 and a first fixing part 215, the water distribution part 213 is internally provided with a first water passing channel 2131, and the first water passing channel 2131 communicates with the second water distribution port 2112; the water distribution part 213 includes a convex shaft 2132 extending along the axial direction of the water distribution body 21, and the water outlet end of the second water distribution port 2112 extends to the end face of the convex shaft 2132.

[0088] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 The first screwing element 24 is a screw which is screwed at the threaded hole 212 of the water distribution body 21, one end of which extends into the guide groove 1230 to establish an axial limiting and rotating connection relationship between the water distribution body 21 and the convex part, and to achieve the rotating connection relationship between the water outlet assembly 2 and the water passing part, which is simple in structure and convenient to disassemble and assemble, and by means of the rotating connection relationship, the water distribution body 21 can be rotated relative to the convex part to realize the switching communication between the water passing port 1241 and the first water distribution port 2111 or the second water distribution port 2112; it should be understood that when the water distribution body 21 is connected to the convex part in place, the open end of the pin groove 214 faces the friction disc 20.

[0089] In this embodiment, the water outlet body 22 is fixedly sleeved outside the water distribution body 21 and cooperates with the water distribution body 21 to form a first water channel and a second water channel which respectively communicate with the first water distribution port 2111 and the second water distribution port 2112, one end of which facing the water passing part abuts against the water passing part, and the side wall thereof is provided with a mounting groove 225.

[0090] Specifically, the structure of the water outlet body 22 is as shown in Figure 5 and Figures 14 to 16As shown, the main body thereof is in a tubular structure, an outlet water part 223 and a second fixing part 224 are arranged in the tubular structure and fixed to each other, and a mounting groove 225 is arranged on the side wall of the tubular structure and inclined to the axial direction and opens to the front side; the outlet water part 223 divides the inner cavity of the outlet water body 22 into an accommodating cavity 221 and an assembly cavity 222 along the axial direction, one end of the outlet water part 223 is provided with a plug-in part 2231, the other end of the outlet water part 223 extends to the outer wall of the groove bottom of the mounting groove 225, and the outlet water part 223 is provided with a second water passing channel 2232; the plug-in part 2231 extends in parallel to the axial direction of the outlet water body 22, and the side of the plug-in part 2231 facing the accommodating cavity 221 is used for sealingly plugging the convex shaft 2132, the water inlet end of the second water passing channel 2232 extends to the plug-in part 2231, and the water outlet end of the second water passing channel 2232 extends to the mounting groove 225. The second fixing part 224 is located on one side of the assembly cavity 222.

[0091] The outlet water part 223 is provided with the accommodating cavity 221, one side of which is coaxially sleeved on the outer side of the water distribution body 21, when the sleeve is in place, the assembly groove is located on the side of the outlet water body 22 away from the faucet body 1, the end of the outlet water body 22 facing the faucet body 1 abuts against the end face of the extension section 111 and the outer wall thereof is smoothly connected with the extension section 111, the convex shaft 2132 is plugged into the plug-in part 2231 and is sealingly matched with the inner wall of the plug-in part 2231 through the sealing ring sleeved on the outer wall thereof, the first water passing channel 2131 and the second water passing channel 2232 are sealingly communicated to form a second water channel, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 221 is sealingly matched with the outer wall of the water distribution body 21 to form a first water channel, and the water outlet end of the first water channel extends to the mounting groove 225.

[0092] The outlet water body 22 hides the water distribution body 21 on the inner side thereof, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the structure, and since the end of the outlet water body 22 facing the water passing part abuts against the end face of the extension section 111, the matching degree between the outlet water body 22 and the faucet body 1 is high, the gap is small, and the integrity is better.

[0093] As shown in Figure 16 , the second screwing part 25 is a screw, which is located in the assembly groove and screws the first fixing part 215 and the second fixing part 224 along the axial direction of the outlet water body 22, so that the outlet water body 22 and the water distribution body 21 are fixedly connected, the structure is simple, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0094] As shown in Figure 16 , the decorative cover 26 is matched and sealed to the opening end of the assembly groove in a manner of interference fit, so as to hide the structure in the assembly groove, and on the appearance, the user can only observe the first outlet 2322 and the second outlet 2312, but cannot observe any connecting structure, so that the faucet has good integrity and ornamental effect.

[0095] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 17As shown, the water outlet element 23 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 225, which includes a water outlet column 231 and a bubbling portion 232 arranged around the outer periphery of the water outlet column 231. The water outlet column 231 partially protrudes from the groove bottom of the mounting groove 225 and is sealingly inserted into the water distribution portion 213. A fourth water channel 2311 is arranged in the water outlet column 231. The fourth water channel 2311 is sealingly communicated with the second water channel to form a second water outlet path. The water outlet port of the fourth water channel 2311 constitutes a second water outlet port 2312. The bubbling portion 232 is provided with a third water channel 2321 arranged around the outer periphery of the fourth water channel 2311. The third water channel 2321 is communicated with the first water channel to form a first water outlet path. The water outlet port of the third water channel 2321 constitutes a first water outlet port 2322. The third water channel 2321 is provided with a bubbling structure. The bubbling structure uses a faraway jet to absorb ambient air to realize air-water mixing, so that the water flow from the first water outlet path can be fully mixed with air, the water flow flushing force is improved, the water consumption is reduced, and water resources are saved. It should be understood that the bubbling structure is a common means in the art, and therefore will not be described here. In this embodiment, the water outlet body 22 is provided with the first water channel and the second water channel for water distribution in cooperation with the water distribution body 21. The water outlet element 23 is installed in the mounting groove 225 and is provided with the third water channel 2321 and the fourth water channel 2311. The third water channel 2321 and the fourth water channel 2311 are respectively communicated with the first water channel and the second water channel to form the first water outlet path and the second water outlet path. The water path is segmented, which is beneficial to facilitate the structure forming.

[0096] In actual use, the water outlet body 22 is held and rotated to drive the water distribution body 21 to rotate relative to the convex portion, so that the first water distribution port 2111 or the second water distribution port 2112 is communicated with the water passing port 1241 to realize water outlet of the first water outlet path or the second water outlet path. Specifically, when the water outlet body 22 is rotated to the first water outlet port 2322 and the second water outlet port 2312 are inclined toward the front lower side, the first water distribution port 2111 is communicated with the water passing port 1241. At this time, the water flow from the water passing path 121 enters the first water channel, then flows into the third water channel 2321, and outputs bubble water from the first water outlet port 2322 to meet the user's water receiving or ordinary flushing needs. When the water outlet body 22 is rotated to the first water outlet port 2322 and the second water outlet port 2312 are inclined toward the front upper side, the second water distribution port 2112 is communicated with the water passing port 1241. At this time, the water flow from the water passing path 121 passes through the first water passing channel 2131, the second water passing channel 2232 and the fourth water channel 2311 in sequence and finally outputs a parabolic water flow from the second water outlet port 2312 to meet the user's needs of gargling or washing face.

[0097] It is worth mentioning that since the first water distribution port 2111 and the second water distribution port 2112 are arranged opposite to each other along the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 2, the center axes of the first water distribution port 2111, the second water distribution port 2112 and the water outlet port of the water passing path 121 are all perpendicular to the rotation axis of the water outlet assembly 2, and the water outlet direction of the water passing path 121 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the water outlet assembly 2. Therefore, during the operation, the rotation operation of the water outlet assembly 2 is not affected by the water pressure of the water passing path 121, and the operation is more labor-saving.

[0098] Preferably, in the embodiment, the water outlet end of the fourth water channel 2311 protrudes from the water outlet end of the third water channel 2321. In this way, in the upper water outlet state, the parabolic water outlet trajectory formed by the fourth water channel 2311 can reach a higher height, thereby reducing the degree of bending of the user during use and improving the user's satisfaction. In addition, this design can also prevent the water flow output by the fourth water channel 2311 from being diverted to the water outlet surface of the third water channel 2321, thereby ensuring that the water flow of the fourth water channel 2311 is not lost.

[0099] The flow stabilizing element 27 is installed in the second water outlet path and has an elastic portion 272 and a water passing channel 271. The elastic portion 272 is adapted to change the flow area of the water passing channel 271 according to the water pressure.

[0100] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 18 , the flow stabilizing element 27 is installed in the plug-in portion 2231 and the two ends thereof are respectively abutted by a step surface formed in the plug-in portion 2231 and an end surface of the convex shaft 2132. The water passing channel 271 has a flow surface, and the flow surface has a water passing opening. The elastic portion 272 is composed of an elastic ring fixedly installed in the water passing channel 271 and abuts against the flow surface. The elastic portion 272 is adapted to change the water passing area of the water passing opening by deforming, thereby changing the flow area of the water passing channel 271. Since the water pressure varies in different places, the setting of the flow stabilizing element 27 can make the second water outlet path flow a more stable water flow to improve the user's experience. It should be understood that the deformation amount of the elastic portion 272 increases with the increase of the water pressure, and gradually reduces the flow area of the water passing channel.

[0101] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 13As shown, the positioning pin 3 is slidably arranged in the pin groove 214, and the elastic member 4 abuts against the bottom of the pin groove 214 and the positioning pin 3, so that the positioning pin 3 always abuts against the friction disc 20. When the water outlet body 22 and the water distribution body 21 are rotated to the state that the water passing channel 121 is communicated with the first water distribution opening 2111, the positioning pin 3 is inserted into the first positioning groove 202. When the water outlet body 22 and the water distribution body 21 are rotated to the state that the water passing channel 121 is communicated with the second water distribution opening 2112, the positioning pin 3 is inserted into the second positioning groove 203. The positioning structure formed by the positioning pin 3, the elastic member 4 and the pin groove 214 can accurately and stably stop the water outlet assembly 2 at the corresponding circumferential position when the water outlet assembly 2 is rotated to the position relative to the faucet body 1. During the rotation, the cooperation between the positioning pin 3 and the first positioning groove 202 or the second positioning groove 203 can form a certain gear feeling and emit a corresponding click sound, which can prompt the user that the water outlet assembly 2 has been rotated to the position, so that the user has a good operation experience. In addition, the rotation direction of the water outlet assembly 2 relative to the faucet body 1 can not be limited by the positioning structure, and the degree of freedom of the user operation is higher.

[0102] The installation process of the faucet provided in the embodiment is as follows:

[0103] The valve core is installed at a specific position in the mounting seat 16, and the handle 10 is installed in place.

[0104] One end of a water passing pipe (not shown in the figure) is fixed to the water outlet end of the mixed water channel, and the other end extends into the mounting hole 161.

[0105] The second connecting section 141 of the inner pipe 14 is inserted into the connecting channel 171 of the connecting seat 17 in a state that the outer wall is sleeved with a sealing ring; the U-shaped buckle 19 is sleeved in the second limiting groove 172, and the two clamping protrusions 191 on the U-shaped buckle 19 respectively pass through the two notches into the first limiting groove 1411, so as to limit the second connecting section 141 from being pulled out of the connecting channel 171 in the vertical direction.

[0106] The bottom of the connecting seat 17 is screwed into the mounting hole 161, and the part of the water passing pipe located in the mounting hole 161 is inserted into the connecting channel 171 in a sealed manner; the limiting member 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting seat 17, and the top end and the bottom end of the limiting member 18 abut against the upper limiting surface 173 and the top end face of the mounting portion, respectively.

[0107] When the first connecting section 112 is adjusted to the vertical state and reaches the position where the elastic buckle 181 is located, the side wall of the first connecting section 112 abuts against the elastic buckle 181, so that the elastic buckle 181 is deformed inwardly. When the bottom end of the first connecting section 112 reaches the top end of the mounting base 16, the position of the first connecting section 112 is adjusted in the circumferential direction so as to align the clamping groove 1121 with the elastic buckle 181, until the elastic buckle 181 restores the deformation and is clamped with the clamping groove 1121.

[0108] The fourth screwing piece 15 is screwed outside the portion of the inner tube 14 located in the outer tube 11 until the fourth screwing piece 15 abuts against the second limiting surface 1112.

[0109] The first portion 122 of the water passing piece 12 is inserted into the extending section 111 of the outer tube 11 until the first rotation stopping protrusion 1222 is rotationally stopped with the first rotation stopping groove 1113, the end surface of the first portion 122 abuts against the fourth screwing piece 15, and the annular flange 1221 abuts against the second limiting surface 1112, so that the first portion 122 is inserted into position. Then, the third screwing piece 13 is sleeved outside the first portion 122 and screwed into the inner wall of the extending section 111 until the third screwing piece 13 abuts against the annular flange 1221. At this time, the first portion 122 of the water passing piece 12 is rotationally stopped relative to the extending section 111, the two ends of the annular flange 1221 are respectively abutted by the first limiting surface 1111 and the third screwing piece 13, and the third screwing piece 13 is fixed relative to the extending section 111. Therefore, the water passing piece 12 is fixed relative to the extending section 111, and the water passing piece 12 is fixed in the extending section 111 in a simple structure and is convenient to disassemble. In addition, under the condition that the water passing piece 12 is fixed relative to the extending section 111, since the two ends of the fourth screwing piece 15 are respectively abutted by the second limiting surface 1112 and the end surface of the first portion 122, the inner tube 14 is also fixed relative to the extending section 111, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure of the inner tube 14 and making the water passage communication between the inner tube 14 and the water passing piece 12 more reliable and less likely to leak. In the embodiment, the water is passed through the inner tube 14, and the outer tube 11 does not need to pass water, which is beneficial to avoid the outer tube 11 from moving due to the change of water pressure, thereby improving the stability of the connecting structure of the outer tube 11, the inner tube 14 and the water passing piece 12 and further preventing water leakage.

[0110] The sealing piece 124 is fixedly sleeved into the annular positioning groove 1232, and the C-shaped clasp ring 1231 is sleeved on the annular groove on the outer wall of the second portion 123.

[0111] The friction disc 20 is sleeved on the second part 123 of the water passing member 12 until the friction disc 20 abuts against the end of the first part 122 for connecting the second part 123 and the second rotation stopping protrusion 201 is matched and inserted into the second rotation stopping slot 1223, and the first and second positioning slots 202 and 203 of the friction disc 20 are directed to the side away from the first part 122.

[0112] The water separating body 21 is sleeved on the second part 123 of the water passing member 12 until the end surface of the water separating member abuts against the friction disc 20, then the first screw member 24 is screwed into the threaded hole 212 until the end thereof extends into the guide slot 1230; then the positioning pin 3 and the elastic member 4 are installed into the pin slot 214 from the side of the water separating member, and the positioning pin 3 abuts against the friction disc 20 under the action of the elastic member 4.

[0113] The flow stabilizing element 27 is installed into the insertion part 2231; then the water outlet body 22 is sleeved on the water separating body 21 until the water outlet body 22 abuts against the end surface of the extending section 111 in the case that the sealing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the water separating body 21 and the outer wall of the protruding shaft 2132, then the second screw member 25 is installed into the assembling slot and is screwed with the first and second fixing parts 215 and 224, and then the decorative cover 26 is fixed and sealed on the opening of the assembling slot.

[0114] Finally, the water outlet element 23 is limited in the installing slot 225 through a connecting sleeve screwed on the inner wall of the installing slot 225, and the water outlet column 231 is sealingly inserted into the water outlet part 223, i.e. the installation is completed.

[0115] The faucet provided in this embodiment has a water outlet assembly 2 rotatably connected to a water passage. The water outlet assembly 2 has a first water outlet path and a second water outlet path, each with an independent outlet (first outlet 2322 and second outlet 2312). When switching between different water outlet modes, water can be switched between the first outlet 2322 and the second outlet 2312 by rotating the water outlet assembly 2. Specifically, when water needs to be dispensed, the water outlet body 22 is rotated so that the first outlet 2322 and the second outlet 2312 are tilted downwards and forwards, so that the first branch outlet 2111 and the first water outlet path are connected through the water passage 121, and the second branch outlet 2112 is closed. At this time, water flows from the first outlet 2322. Water flows out from outlet 22, allowing users to collect water or perform rinsing operations below the first outlet 2322. When water needs to be discharged from the top, rotate the water outlet assembly 2 until the first outlet 2322 and the second outlet 2312 are tilted forward and upward, closing the first branch outlet 2111 and connecting the second branch outlet 2112 and the second water outlet through water passage 121. At this time, water flows out from the second outlet 2312, forming an obliquely thrown water trajectory. Users can bend over and bring their face close to this water trajectory to collect water, rinse their mouths, or wash their faces. During operation, users only need to operate the water outlet component to rotate it relative to the water passage to switch water paths to meet different usage needs. The operation is convenient and easy to use.

[0116] like Figures 19 to 21 As shown, when the switching operation is performed, the area of ​​the first water outlet 2111 or the second water outlet 2112 that was originally connected to the water passage 121 will gradually decrease until the connection is broken during the rotation. Therefore, when the first water outlet 2322 and the second water outlet 2312 are rotated to face the two sides of the faucet body 1, no water will be output. The environment around the water tank will not be wetted. This ensures that the purpose of water passage switching can be achieved by simply rotating the water outlet component 2, without having to close the valve of the faucet body 1. The operation is convenient and the user satisfaction is higher.

[0117] Furthermore, the faucet provided in this embodiment has a significant advantage in that the first water outlet 2322 is arranged around the outer periphery of the second water outlet 2312, that is, the first water outlet 2322 and the second water outlet 2312 are coaxially arranged. This makes the molding of the water outlet component 2 simpler and the manufacturing cost lower in terms of process; in terms of structure, the external structure of the water outlet component 2 is simpler and more beautiful, which is in line with the aesthetics of the general public; in terms of function, according to the water needs of ordinary rinsing, rinsing, or washing face, corresponding water outlets can be installed on the first water outlet 2322 and the second water outlet 2312 to achieve different water spray outputs. For example, installing an air bubble component on the first water outlet 2322 can provide a stronger water flow to meet the daily ordinary rinsing needs while saving water resources.

[0118] The above description and examples are intended to explain the scope of the present application, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
