[0032] Reference below Figures 1 to 6 A multi-function faucet according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a multifunctional faucet, which includes a mounting seat 1, a water outlet 2, a button valve core 3 and an operating part 4.

[0034] The mounting base 1 is a hollow pipe structure. One end of the mounting base 1 is used to be installed in a place such as a washbasin to realize the installation of a multi-functional faucet. A through hole 11 is provided on the circumferential surface of the other end of the mounting base 1. The water outlet member 2 is rotatably mounted on the outside of one end of the mounting base 1 provided with the through hole 11. The diameter of the water outlet member 2 is larger than the diameter of the end of the mounting base 1. There is a certain gap between the water outlet member 2 and the end of the mounting base 1, forming a certain transition space. The through hole 11 is connected to the above-mentioned transition space. The water outlet member 2 is provided with a water outlet 21. The water outlet 21 is connected to the above-mentioned transition space and the through hole 11. The external water pipe is connected through the mounting base 1, and the external water source flows through the through hole 11 and flows out from the water outlet 21. At the same time, the water outlet member 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1, so that the position of the water outlet 21 can be adjusted to realize multi-directional water supply.

[0035] It should be noted that if Figure 6 As shown, the through holes 11 on the mounting base 1 can be set to be several, for example, the number of the through holes 11 is set to two, and further, the two through holes 11 are coaxially arranged.

[0036] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figure 5, the button valve core 3 includes a stator 31, a rotor 32 and a button switch 33 for realizing water flow interruption. When the button switch 33 is pressed once, water flows out of the water outlet 21. When the button switch 33 is pressed again, the button switch 33 pops out and the water outlet 21 stops supplying water. The button switch 33 is used to conveniently switch the multi-functional faucet on and off.

[0037] The stator 31 is disposed between the mounting end of the mounting base 1 and the through hole 11, that is, the stator 31 is disposed below the through hole 11. The stator 31 is sealed to the inner wall of the mounting base 1. The stator 31 is provided with two water inlets 311, through which external water pipes are introduced. It is understood that one water inlet 311 can be connected to a hot water pipe, and the other water inlet 311 can be connected to a cold water pipe.

[0038] The rotor 32 is rotatably abutted against the side of the stator 31 facing the through hole 11. The rotor 32 is provided with at least two water outlets 321. By rotating the rotor 32, the connection and closure between the water inlet 311 in the stator 31 and the water outlet 321 of the rotor 32 can be achieved, and the size of the connection area of the two water inlets 311 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the water inlet amount of the two water inlets 311.

[0039] The button switch 33 is fixedly connected to the rotor 32. By rotating the button switch 33, the rotation of the rotor 32 is controlled, thereby controlling the amount of water entering the two water inlets 311 of the stator 31. The button switch 33 is sealedly connected to the mounting seat 1 on the side of the through hole 11 away from the stator 31. Therefore, the button switch 33 and the stator 31 are sealedly connected to the mounting seats 1 at the upper and lower ends of the through hole 11, respectively, forming a sealed space around the through hole 11, that is, a transition space is formed between the button switch 33 and the mounting seat 1, and between the mounting seat 1 and the water outlet 2, and the two transition spaces are connected through the through hole 11. The external water pipe flows in from the water inlet 311 of the stator 31, flows through the water outlet 321 of the rotor 32, flows into the space between the button switch 33 and the mounting seat 1, and flows through the through hole 11 into the space between the mounting seat 1 and the water outlet 2, and finally flows out from the water outlet 21.

[0040] The operating member 4 includes a rotating sleeve 41 and a button 42. The rotating sleeve 41 is rotatably mounted on the end of the mounting base 1 near the water outlet 2. The rotating sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to the push button switch 33. By rotating the rotating sleeve 41, the rotating sleeve 41 drives the push button switch 33 to rotate, and the push button switch 33 drives the rotor 32 to rotate, thereby adjusting the water flow into the two water inlets 311 of the stator 31. It is understood that the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 41 can be provided with a concave and convex surface to facilitate gripping and applying force to the rotating sleeve 41.

[0041] The rotating sleeve 41 is provided with a central hole, the diameter of the central hole is larger than the diameter of the top of the button 42, and the button 42 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the push button switch 33 away from the rotor 32, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the button 42 protrudes from the rotating sleeve 41 through the center hole, and the button 42 is separated from the button switch 33. Therefore, during use, the user can turn the water flow on and off by pressing the button on the top of the multi-function faucet. This arrangement makes it easy to apply force and easy to operate.

[0042] Two external water pipes, such as a hot water pipe and a cold water pipe, enter the mounting base 1 through the opening at the bottom end of the mounting base 1 and are respectively connected to the two water inlets 311 of the stator 31. By rotating the rotating sleeve 41, the rotating sleeve 41 drives the button switch 33 and the rotor 32 to rotate simultaneously, thereby adjusting the communication area between the water outlet 321 of the rotor 32 and the water inlet 311 of the stator 31, and adjusting the water inlet amount of the two water inlets 311. When the two water inlets 311 are respectively connected to the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe, the amount of hot water and the amount of cold water can be adjusted. When the two water inlets 311 flow into the transition space and mix together, water of different temperatures can be generated, thereby adjusting the water supply temperature of the water outlet 21.

[0043] The multifunctional faucet of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a push-button valve core 3, and the water flow is controlled by pressing a button 42 disposed at the top, which facilitates force application and operation. The two water inlets 311 of the stator 31 are connected to cold water and hot water, respectively. Rotating the rotating sleeve 41 drives the rotor 32 to adjust the outlet water temperature, making operation convenient. The water outlet member 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1, thereby enabling multi-directional water supply. Therefore, the multifunctional faucet of the embodiment of the present invention has the functions of adjusting the water temperature and providing multi-directional water supply, is easy to operate, and is highly practical.

[0044] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the push button switch 33 is provided with an upper button portion 331 and a lower button portion 332, and the diameter of the upper button portion 331 is smaller than that of the lower button portion 332. A connecting member 12 is provided between the push button switch 33 and the mounting base 1. The connecting member 12 includes a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122 that are perpendicular to each other. The second connecting portion 122 is connected to the top of the first connecting portion 121 and extends toward the center of the mounting base 1. The outer wall of the first connecting portion 121 is rotatably abutted against the inner wall of the mounting base 1, and the inner wall of the first connecting portion 121 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower button portion 332. The bottom surface of the second connecting portion 122 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower button portion 332, and the inner wall of the side surface of the second connecting portion 122 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the upper button portion 331, thereby ensuring a rotatable sealed connection between the push button switch 33 and the mounting base 1. It is understandable that a plurality of connection grooves may be provided on the bottom surface of the outer wall of the connecting member 12 , thereby facilitating reduction of the friction force generated when the connecting member 12 and the mounting seat 1 rotate.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet member 2 includes a sleeve 22 that is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the through hole 11. The outer wall of the sleeve 22 is connected to the water outlet 21, and the inner cavity of the sleeve 22 is in communication with the water outlet 21. By moving the water outlet 21, the sleeve 22 can be driven to move around the mounting base 1, thereby facilitating multi-directional water supply. It is understood that the upper outer wall of the mounting base 1 can be provided with multiple mounting grooves to help reduce the rotational friction between the mounting base 1 and the sleeve 22, thereby facilitating smoother rotation. It is understood that the diameter of the end of the mounting base 1 provided with the through hole 11 can be set to be smaller than the diameter of the mounting end of the mounting base 1, and the outer diameter of the sleeve 22 can be set to be the same as the diameter of the mounting end of the mounting base 1. Therefore, when the sleeve 22 is mounted on the outer end of the through hole 11, the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 22 is the same as the circumferential surface of the lower end of the mounting base 1, resulting in a smoother outer surface of the multi-function faucet.

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a transition sleeve 13 is provided between the sleeve 22 and the rotating sleeve 41. The transition sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting seat 1. One end of the transition sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the water outlet part 2, and the other end of the transition sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the rotating sleeve 41. By providing the transition sleeve 13, the rotation between the rotating sleeve 41 and the water outlet part 2 does not affect each other, which facilitates operation.

[0047] It can be understood that a sealing ring 14 can be provided at the connection between the sleeve 22 and the transition sleeve 13, and a sealing ring 14 can be provided at the connection between the other end of the sleeve 22 and the mounting seat 1, thereby sealing the mounting seat 1 at the upper and lower ends of the through hole 11, effectively preventing water flowing out of the through hole 11 from flowing out to the outer wall of the mounting seat 1.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet 21 includes a first water outlet portion 211 and a second water outlet portion 212 that are rotatably connected. Figure 1 As shown, both the first water outlet 211 and the second water outlet 212 are hollow tubular structures. The outer end of the first water outlet 211 is provided with multiple annular protrusions. The inner wall of the second water outlet 212 is provided with matching positioning protrusions. The end of the second water outlet 212, close to the first water outlet 211, is provided with an abutment slope. The abutment slope is inclined along the interior direction of the second water outlet 212 toward the axis of the second water outlet 212. When the first water outlet 211 is inserted into the second water outlet 212, it is positioned by the positioning protrusions. Simultaneously, the abutment slope abuts against the outer wall of the first water outlet 211, thereby firmly connecting the first water outlet 211 to the second water outlet 212. By rotating the second water outlet 21, 360-degree water supply can be achieved, facilitating multi-directional water supply.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second water outlet 212 is arranged at the end of the water outlet part 2 away from the mounting seat 1, and the outlet of the second water outlet 212 away from the first water outlet 211 is provided with a bubbler, so that by adding the bubbler 23, the water outlet is soft and does not splash, thereby improving the comfort of use.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet 311 includes two first water inlets 311 and two second water inlets 311, and the diameter of the first water inlet 311 is smaller than the diameter of the second water inlet 311, so that the water outlet temperature can be conveniently adjusted by setting water inlets 311 of different sizes on the stator 31.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the mounting seat 1, the water outlet member 2 and the button valve core 3 are made of brass material, which can help improve water quality and increase the service life of the multifunctional faucet.
