Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a faucet, including: a faucet body; a clean water path 4 is provided inside the faucet body, and a water guide platform 1 connected to the clean water path 4 is provided on one side of the faucet body; a washing and care chamber is provided at the upper end of the faucet body, and a washing and care outlet 111 is provided on one side of the washing and care chamber and above the water guide platform 1; a washing and care water path 5 is formed between the washing and care chamber and the faucet body, and switching between the washing and care water path 5 and the clean water path 4 is achieved by pressing and activating the washing and care chamber. Washing hands with clean water makes people more likely to remember to wash their hands, and the ability to create colored washing and care water can also encourage people to wash their hands, establishing good handwashing habits. This eliminates the inconvenience and space-consuming nature of hand sanitizer bottles, reduces hygiene dead spots, improves convenience, enhances the washing and care experience, and improves space utilization.

[0029] In this embodiment, a washing and care tube core 6 is fixed at the lower end of the washing and care chamber; the washing and care tube core 6 is movably inserted into the washing and care tube core sleeve 7, the washing and care tube core sleeve 7 is fixed on the faucet body, and a return spring 9 is provided between the lower end of the washing and care chamber and the washing and care tube core sleeve 7.

[0030] Specifically, the washing and care compartment includes: a washing and care compartment cover 10 and a washing and care compartment base 11; the washing and care compartment cover 10 is threaded onto the washing and care compartment base 11, and after opening, suitable washing and care products can be added inside; the washing and care compartment base 11 is used to hold the washing and care products; the front end of the washing and care compartment base 11 is provided with a washing and care water outlet 111; the lower end of the washing and care compartment base 11 is threadedly connected to a washing and care tube core 6 forming a washing and care water path 5. Water flows into the washing and care compartment through this outlet, and when the water flows in, it mixes with the washing and care products inside to form washing and care water. The washing and care water flows out through the outlet at the front end of the washing and care compartment base 11, and this outlet faces the water guide platform 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner perimeter of the wash and care compartment cover 10 is provided with threads, and the outer perimeter of the wash and care compartment base 11 is provided with a sealing ring groove 112. The groove is provided with threads that fit with the wash and care compartment cover 10 for sealing connection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the washing and care tube core 6 has a hollow design structure. The bottom of the washing and care tube core 6 is provided with a first groove 61, and a sealing ring is sleeved inside the first groove 61 to form a plug 51 for switching between the washing and care water path 5 and the clean water path 4. The washing and care tube core 6 is provided with water inlet holes 63 on both sides of the upper part of its plug 51. When the clean water path 4 is closed by the plug 51, the water will enter through the water inlet holes 63. The middle part of the washing and care tube core 6 is provided with a second groove 62, and a sealing ring is sleeved inside the second groove 62. When the washing and care tube core 6 is pressed down, the plug 51 closes the clean water path 4 to prevent water from entering the internal structural components. The washing and care tube core 6 is sleeved into the washing and care tube core sleeve 7 and then fixed by a threaded connection that matches the washing and care chamber base 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the wash and care tube sleeve 7 is threadedly fixed to the faucet body; a return spring 9 is provided at the top of the wash and care tube sleeve 7; the bottom of the wash and care chamber base 11 can be inserted into the top of the wash and care tube sleeve 7 and compress the return spring 9. The wash and care tube sleeve 7 is used to limit the position of the wash and care tube 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, a toothed rubber pad 8 is provided on the top inner wall of the washing and care tube sleeve 7 to increase the rebound resistance of the return spring 9. The teeth of the toothed rubber pad 8 face downwards, which does not affect the downward pressure of the washing and care chamber and the spring, while increasing the rebound resistance of the spring.

[0035] In this embodiment, a spring seat for housing the return spring 9 is provided on the top inner wall of the wash and care tube sleeve 7. When the wash and care chamber is pressed down, the return spring is compressed. After the pressing force ends, the return spring slowly rebounds due to the resistance of the toothed rubber pad 8, lifting the wash and care chamber and driving the plug 51 of the connected wash and care tube 6, closing the wash and care water circuit 5 and resetting to the clean water circuit 4. The reset speed can be adjusted by using return springs 9 with different strengths, so that after the wash and care water circuit 5 is opened, it automatically resets to the clean water circuit 4 within a certain period of time.

[0036] In this embodiment, a mixing valve 3 is provided at the bottom of the faucet body. The bottom of the mixing valve 3 has a cold water inlet connector 31 and a hot water inlet connector 32. The valve stem of the mixing valve 3 is connected to the valve handle 2 of the faucet. The valve stem of the mixing valve 3 is adjusted by the valve handle 2 to control the inflow rate of the cold and hot water pipes and the ratio of the cold and hot water pipes. The valve handle 2 is located on one side of the faucet body.

[0037] In this embodiment, the faucet body forms a clean water path 4 through internal structural components. A through hole is provided in the middle of the clean water path 4 to fit the plug 51 of the washing and care tube core 6. When the plug 51 of the washing and care tube core 6 is located in the through hole, the clean water path 4 is cut off. When the mixing valve 3 is opened, the plug 51 is pressed down, and the clean water path 4 is closed. Water flows into the washing and care tube core 6 connected to the plug 51 and reaches the washing and care chamber, flowing from the washing and care outlet 111 of the washing and care chamber to the water guide platform 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water guide platform 1 has a clean water outlet on its inner upper side. When the mixing valve 3 is opened, the water will eventually flow out from the clean water outlet on the inner side of the water guide platform 1 of the faucet.

[0039] In summary, the faucet provided by this invention features a clean water path and a washing / care water path within its internal structure. The clean water flows directly from the guide platform, while the washing / care water path connects to the top of the faucet and into the washing / care compartment. The washing / care compartment can be opened to add appropriate washing / care products. By pressing down the washing / care compartment, the plug inside the compartment closes the clean water path, switching the water flow to the washing / care water path. The washing / care compartment can be opened to add appropriate washing / care products; as water enters, it dissolves a certain amount of the product, forming a washing / care solution, which then flows from the outlet of the compartment back to the guide platform. A spring is incorporated into the washing / care water path; by adjusting the spring's resistance, it can be allowed to return to its original position within a certain time, allowing the washing / care compartment to automatically reset and close the washing / care water path after being pressed down, thus achieving the function of automatically resetting and returning to clean water. Washing hands with clean water makes people more likely to remember to wash their hands. Colored hand sanitizer water can also make people more willing to wash their hands, establish good hand washing habits, eliminate the inconvenience and space-consuming nature of hand sanitizer bottles, reduce hygiene dead spots, improve convenience, enhance the hand care experience, and improve space utilization.
