[0041] The switching valve device 1 includes a valve seat 11 and a valve core 12. The valve seat 11 is provided with an inlet 111, a first branch inlet 112 and a second branch inlet 113. The valve core 12 is rotatably connected to the valve seat 11 and the water circuit switching is realized through the movement of the valve core 12. The water circuit switching includes the first branch inlet being connected to the inlet, or the second branch inlet being connected to the inlet, or both branch inlets being connected to the inlet at the same time. In the specific structure: the valve seat 11 includes an upper housing 114 and an inner core 115. The inner core 115 is fixed inside the upper housing 114 and a connecting water groove 116 is formed between the upper housing 114 and the inner core 115. The inner core 115 is provided with a water distribution chamber 117 connected to the water inlet and two through ports that penetrate the water distribution chamber 117 internally and externally. The two through ports are located at different central angles relative to the inner core 115. The valve core 12 can be rotatably mounted in the water distribution chamber 117 and switched by rotation control. One through port is always connected to the first water distribution port 112. The first water distribution port 112 is arranged inside and outside the upper housing 114. The other through port is connected to the connecting water groove 116. The second water distribution port 112 includes the connecting water groove 116. Further: The inlet 111 penetrates the upper housing 114 and is arranged inside and outside the inner core 115. The inlet 111 and the first branch inlet 112 are arranged radially symmetrically. The inlet 111 is connected to the support arm 41 fixed to the wall 4 via a water inlet connector 118. The inner core 115 extends out of the opening of the upper housing 114. A sealing plate is provided at the other end of the upper housing 114. An operating member 119 is also provided. One end of the operating member 119 is sealed through the sealing plate to extend into the lower housing and is fixed to the valve core 12. The valve core 12 is rotated by the operating member 119 to achieve switching. To enhance the sealing performance, a groove is provided in the valve core 12. An elastic body 121 and a first sealing gasket 122 are installed in the groove and pressed against by the elastic body 121. Switching is achieved by sealing the different through-holes through the first sealing gasket 122. A second sealing gasket 13 with a through hole is provided at both the inlet and the first branch inlet to enhance the sealing performance.

[0042] The first end of the rocker arm 2 is rotatably connected to the valve seat 11. The rocker arm 2 is provided with a first water passage 23, which is connected to the second water outlet 113. In the specific structure: the rocker arm 2 includes an upper connector 21 and a rod portion 22 fixed to the upper connector 21. The rod portion 22 is a pipe and its inner hole forms the aforementioned first water passage 23. The upper connector 21 has inner and outer peripheral walls 211 and 212. The outer peripheral wall 212 is rotatably connected to the upper housing 114, and the inner peripheral wall 221 is rotatably connected to the inner core 115. The annular cavity 213 between the inner and outer peripheral walls is connected to the connecting water groove 116. The rod portion 22 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall 212, and the first water passage 23 is connected to the annular cavity 213, so that the rocker arm 2 can rotate relative to the valve seat 11 and the second water outlet is always connected to the first water passage. The rotation does not affect the water circuit switching.

[0043] The lifting rod 3 is externally equipped with two mounting bases 42 that can be attached to the wall 4, so that the lifting rod 3 can be fixed to the wall 4. The lifting rod 3 is provided with a second water passage 31. The second end of the swing rod 2 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the lifting rod 3, and the second water passage 31 is connected to the first water passage 23. The rotation axis of the swing rod 2 relative to the valve seat 11 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the swing rod 2 relative to the lifting rod 3. In the specific structure: the lower end of the swing rod 2 is fixedly equipped with a lower connector 24, the upper end of the lifting rod 3 is fixedly equipped with a pipe seat 32, and a water-passing mandrel 33 is also provided. The lower connector 24 and the pipe seat 32 are both installed on the water-passing mandrel 33 and can rotate relative to each other. The water-passing mandrel 33 has a water passage 331 inside, which connects the first water passage 23 and the second water passage 31. Further: the lower connector 24 includes a lower housing 241 and a three-way body 242. The three-way body 242 is fixedly installed inside the lower end of the rod 22, and the lower end of the rod 22 is inserted into the lower housing 241. The water-passing mandrel 33 passes through the through hole formed by the two passages in the three-way body 242. The circumference of the tee body 242 is recessed with a first annular groove 332 corresponding to the other passage. The bottom of the first annular groove 332 is provided with a first through hole 333 for connecting to the water passage 331. The first passage water passage—the first passage of the tee body 242—the first annular groove 332—the first through hole 333—the water passage 331 not only allows rotation but also does not affect the water passage connection. The pipe seat 32 is provided with a water passage connector 321. The other end of the water passage mandrel 33 is inserted into the water passage connector 321. The outer circumference of the water passage mandrel 33 is recessed with a second annular groove 334 corresponding to the water passage connector 321. The bottom of the second annular groove 334 is provided with a second through hole 335 for connecting to the water passage 331. The water passage connector 321 is inserted into the lifting rod 3 and connects to the second water passage 31.

[0044] The first water outlet 112 is equipped with a water outlet terminal (such as a head shower), and the lower end of the lifting rod 3 is provided with a drain outlet 34. The drain outlet 34 is connected to the second water passage 31. The drain outlet 34 is a bathtub faucet or a hand shower.

[0045] In this specific embodiment: by rotating the rocker arm and valve seat, and by rotating the rocker arm and lifting rod, the distance between the upper and lower housings can be adjusted (to accommodate support arms of different heights), and the distance between the upper housing and the wall can be adjusted (to accommodate support arms of different lengths). This provides a wide adjustment range, facilitates adjustment, and improves the versatility of the lifting rod. Figure 3 As shown.
