Detailed implementation manners

[0024] The following further details the specific implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that the technical solutions of the present invention are easier to understand and master.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a multi-purpose faucet, including a main body 1, a switch handle 11 is arranged on the main body 1, the upper end water outlet of the main body 1 is connected with a flexible hose 3, and a spray gun 4 is installed at the water outlet of the water outlet flexible hose 3. The flexible hose 3 adopts a stretchable structure.

[0026] Refer to Figure 2 , the spray gun 4 includes a spray gun 4 body and a gun head 42, the gun head 42 is threadedly sleeved on the spray gun 4 body, and a first sealing ring 43 is arranged at the connection. The inside of the gun head 42 has a second annular platform 44, an annular seat 51 is movably sleeved inside the second annular platform 44, a first bubbler 53 is fixedly installed inside the annular seat 51, connecting rods 52 are arranged on both sides of the annular seat 51, the connecting rods 52 movably penetrate through the annular seat 51, and a lower end of the connecting rod 52 is installed with an annular top plate 56, and a second spring 54 is arranged between the annular top plate 56 and the second annular platform 44.

[0027] A support pipe 2 is installed on one side of the main body 1, the support pipe 2 includes a first pipe body 21 and a second pipe body 22, the first pipe body 21 is connected with the main body 1, and the second pipe body 22 is threadedly connected with the first pipe body 21. A water pipe 7 is vertically arranged at one end of the second pipe body 22 away from the first pipe body 21, and a second bubbler 8 is installed inside the lower end of the water pipe 7. A fourth sealing ring 63 is nested on the inner wall of the first pipe body 21.

[0028] A sealing movable sleeve is provided on the water pipe 7, and a rotating seat capable of rotating along the central axis of the support pipe 2 is arranged thereon. The rotating seat includes a front seat body 61 and a rear seat body 62. The rear seat body 62 is sleeved on the second pipe body 22. The front seat body 61 is detachably connected to the rear seat body 62. The front seat body 61 and the rear seat body 62 together form a cavity for accommodating the water pipe 7. A fifth sealing ring 64 is embedded on the side wall where the front seat body 61 contacts the rear seat body 62.

[0029] On one side of the front seat body 61 facing the water pipe 7, a convex block 614 is provided. Correspondingly, a groove 74 is provided on the side wall of the water pipe 7. The convex block 614 is spherical, and the bottom of the groove 74 is also spherical. A rubber pad 75 is arranged in the groove 74. During installation, first, the rear seat body 62 is sleeved into the second pipe body 22 from the rear end, then the front seat body 61 is sleeved into the water pipe 7 from the front side and fits with the rear seat body 62, and then the front seat body 61 and the rear seat body 62 are fixed by bolts 65. At this time, the convex block 614 just abuts on the rubber pad 75.

[0030] Combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 At the upper end of the water pipe 7, a movable pipe head 72 is installed. Specifically, a first annular platform 71 is formed on the inner side wall of the water pipe 7. The elastic component includes a first spring 76. The movable pipe head 72 is movably sleeved on the water pipe 7. The upper end of the first spring 76 abuts against the lower end of the movable pipe head 72, and the lower end of the first spring 76 abuts against the first annular platform 71. A limiting ring 73 is also threadedly connected to the upper end of the water pipe 7 to prevent the upward movement distance of the movable pipe head 72 from being restricted. A third sealing ring 616 is embedded in the limiting ring 73. In addition, the upper end opening of the movable pipe head 72 is inclined to form a direct drinking port 721.

[0031] The upper end of the movable pipe head 72 is set as a conical surface 722. The rotating seat is provided with a first through port 611 corresponding to the upper port position of the water pipe 7, and the front seat body 61 is provided with a second through port 612 corresponding to the lower port position of the water pipe 7. The lower end of the first through port 611 is set as a tapered port, which is adapted to the conical surface 722 of the movable pipe head 72. An elastic component is installed in the water pipe 7. In the natural state, the elastic component drives the movable pipe head 72 to extend upward, and the conical surface 722 is in close fit with the tapered port. As an implementation manner, the spring component includes a first spring 76.

[0032] The front end of the gun head 42 is detachably fitted with the first through port 611. Specifically, an annular convex column 613 is integrally provided at the upper end of the first through port 611. The front end of the spray gun 4 has a slot adapted to the annular convex column 613, and a second sealing ring 615 is nested on the annular convex column 613. In addition, a first annular magnet 55 is fixedly embedded at the front end of the gun head 42, and a second annular magnet is fixedly embedded at the upper end of the front seat body 61. When the spray gun 4 is inserted on the annular convex column 613, the first annular magnet 55 is attracted to the second annular magnet. At the same time, the annular top plate 56 is pushed upward by the annular convex column 613, so that the second spring 54 is compressed, and the ring seat 51 moves upward and disengages from the second ring platform 44. At this time, a flow channel is formed between the ring seat 51 and the second ring platform 44, and the water flow preferentially flows through here.

[0033] Working principle of this embodiment: When the spray gun 4 is to be used, just pull the spray gun 4 off the annular convex column 613; when the lower end of the water pipe 7 is to discharge water, insert the spray gun 4 on the annular convex column 613. At this time, the water flow only passes through the water pipe 7 and flows out from the second bubbler 8; when direct drinking is required, keep the spray gun 4 on the annular convex column 613, and then rotate the rotating seat 180 degrees. At this time, the water flow preferentially passes through the cavity and sprays out from the direct drinking port 721. It should be noted that the diameter of the second through port 612 is set large enough so that after the rotating seat rotates 180 degrees, the second through port 612 will not contact the movable nozzle, and thus will not block the water flow of the direct drinking port 721.

[0034] Of course, the above are only typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also have many other specific implementation manners. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
