The swivel base 461, the connecting sleeve 462 and the moving piece 45 achieve synchronous rotation through plug-in cooperation and are axially restricted from detachment through the cooperation of the base and the flange of the housing. The two water outlets 403 and 404 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the housing 43. The swivel base 461 is provided with two water channels 463. The water distribution plate 47 is provided with water distribution holes 471. The inlets of the two water channels 463 correspond to the water distribution holes 471 so that by rotating the water distribution plate 47, the inlets of the two water channels 463 are switched to align with the water distribution holes 471. The outlets of the two water channels 463 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom and are respectively constantly connected to the two water outlets 403 and 404. Further, an annular groove is recessed in the outlet of the water channel 463. The annular groove corresponds to the water outlet so that the water outlet and the water channel outlet are constantly connected during the rotation process.

[0044] The key-switching rotary temperature-adjusting valve core 4 further includes a ballpoint pen mechanism 49. The swivel base 461 is provided with an installation hole 464 arranged vertically through. The ballpoint pen mechanism 49 is fitted with the installation hole 464 and is drivingly connected to the water distribution plate 47.

[0045] A pressure relief component 6 is provided at the mounting hole 464 of the swivel base 461. The pressure relief component 6 is provided with a water passage 61 which includes a first port 612 and a second port 611. The first and second ports are respectively connected to two water channels 463. The ballpoint pen mechanism 49 has a refill rod 491 passing through the mounting hole 464. By moving the refill rod 491 up and down reciprocally to drive the water distribution disc 47 to rotate a predetermined angle, a switching is achieved once. A sealing portion is provided on the refill rod 491, and the sealing portion can control the on-off between the first port 612 and the second port 611. When the refill rod 491 is in the upper position, the sealing portion blocks the connection between the first port 612 and the second port 611.

The second port 611 is located between the first sealing ring 467 and the third sealing ring 469 arranged at intervals up and down, and the first port 612 is located between the first sealing ring 467 and the second sealing ring arranged at intervals up and down. The second water connection channel 466 is located on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 464. When the refill rod 491 is in the upper position, its large-diameter section 4911 cooperates with the first sealing ring 467 to block the connection between the first port 612 and the second port 611 of the water passage 61. When the refill rod 491 is in the lower position, its small-diameter section 4912 cooperates with the first sealing ring 467, and then the water flow can pass through the gap between the small-diameter section 4912 and the first sealing ring 467 to connect the first port 612 and the second port 611, and the two water channels 463 are connected to achieve the water pressure balance between the two water channels and the mixing chamber 18. Through the above structure, the water pressure balance can be achieved, the switching force is light, the switching convenience is improved, and the structure is compact.

[0046] The pressure relief component 6 includes a pressure relief cover 62 fixed in the mounting hole 464, a water flow cover 63 fixed in the pressure relief cover 62 and protruding from the pressure relief cover, and a sealing pressure cover 64 in the mounting hole; the pressure relief cover 62 is provided with a first axial hole 621 and the above-mentioned second port 611 formed by a recessed bottom surface and connected to the first axial hole, the water flow cover 63 is provided with a second axial hole 631 and the above-mentioned first port 612 formed by a recessed top surface and connected to the second axial hole, the water flow channel includes the above-mentioned first axial hole and second axial hole connected to each other, the first sealing ring 467 is located between the pressure relief cover 62 and the water flow cover 63, and the sealing pressure cover is on the water flow cover.

[0047] The automatic ballpoint pen mechanism 49 includes a first elastic body 492, a second elastic body 493 and a fourth ratchet seat 494 fixed relative to the connecting sleeve.

The first ratchet seat cooperates with the third ratchet seat, and the second ratchet seat cooperates with the fourth ratchet seat. The first elastic body presses against the water-dividing plate and the moving plate to press against the water-dividing plate from bottom to top, and the second elastic body presses against the key and the refill rod to press against the refill rod from top to bottom. The key can be movably arranged in the rotating sleeve and is connected to the refill rod. According to needs, it also includes a pressure cover 468 and a spline 469. The pressure cover 468 is fixed in the mounting hole of the rotating seat, and the spline passes through the pressure cover and connects the key and the refill rod.

[0048] The faucet housing 1 is fixed with a mounting seat 12, the housing 43 is fixed in the mounting seat 12, the mounting seat 12 is provided with a first through hole 121 and a second through hole, the first water passage includes the first through hole, a water passage cavity 122 connected to the second through hole is formed between the housing and the mounting seat, the solenoid valve 3 is arranged under the mounting seat and another water passage includes the second through hole, the water passage cavity and a gap 123 between the mounting seat and the inner wall of the faucet housing. The mounting seat is also provided with two third through holes, which are respectively connected to the hot and cold water inlets of the key-switched rotary thermostatic valve core.

[0049] In this embodiment: Cold and hot water enters from the cold and hot water inlet pipes and first reaches the key-switching rotary temperature-adjusting valve core. The valve core can output two paths of water (corresponding to two-way water paths). One path is the mechanical water path (the first through water path), and the other path is the induction water path (the second through water path). When the valve core is in the mechanical water path, the mixed water does not pass through the solenoid valve after being mixed in the valve core and directly flows out through the water outlet path. When the valve core is switched to the induction water outlet path, the mixed water first passes through the solenoid valve 3. The solenoid valve can realize the function of turning the water on and off, and after being opened, it flows out through the water outlet path. Moreover, the mechanical water path and the induction water path are two independent and non-interfering water paths. When the induction water flows out, the mechanical water path does not discharge water. When the mechanical water path discharges water, the induction does not play a switching role, so as to solve the problem that when the solenoid valve breaks down or the battery runs out of power, it can be switched to the mechanical water path to discharge water. The second port of the water passage forms a control port for controlling the opening and closing of the water passage, and the sealing part cooperates with the sealing ring to realize the opening and closing control. Therefore, pressure relief can be achieved when switching to any branch water path. The traditional pilot pressure relief has one pressure relief hole for one water path. To achieve two-way switching, two control ports are required, so the mechanism is very long and crowded in height.

[0050] In this embodiment, the induction mechanism 2 is arranged on the straight rod section of the faucet housing. Embodiment

[0051] Please refer to Figure 14 , which is different from the first embodiment in that: the induction mechanism 2 is arranged below the water outlet section of the faucet housing.

[0052] As described above, it is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present invention patent and the content of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
