DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application provides a faucet, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, it comprises: a water outlet pipe 1 and a water diversion valve core 3, the water outlet pipe 1 is arranged to be rotatably installed, the water diversion valve core 3 has a water inlet 301, a first water outlet 302 and a second water outlet 303, and the first water outlet 302 is arranged to supply water to the water outlet pipe 1;

[0049] Among them, the water diversion valve core 3 includes a valve core housing 31 and a rotating body 32 rotatably installed on the valve core housing 31, and the water outlet pipe 1 is connected to the rotating body 32 to drive the rotating body 32 to rotate between a first position and a second position through the water outlet pipe 1. When the water outlet pipe 1 rotates to the first position, the water inlet 301 is connected to the first water outlet 302 and disconnected from the second water outlet 303. When it rotates to the second position, the water inlet 301 is connected to the second water outlet 303 and disconnected from the first water outlet 302.

[0050] The water outlet pipe 1 may be a curved pipe, which is more convenient for the user to touch and rotate. Of course, the water outlet pipe 1 is not limited to a curved pipe, and may also be other structural forms.

[0051] The faucet provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize water diversion switching by rotating the water outlet pipe 1. The water diversion switching operation is easy. When the water outlet pipe 1 is rotated to the first position, Figure 2 At the position shown by the solid line, the water outlet pipe 1 is discharging water. When the water outlet pipe 1 rotates to the second position, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 At the position shown by the middle dotted line, the water outlet pipe 1 is closed, and water flows out from the second water outlet 303 of the water diversion valve core 3, wherein the second water outlet 303 can be connected to a shower or other water outlet device. Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet pipe 1 rotates from the first position to the second position by about 90°.

[0052] The faucet provided in the embodiment of the present application is particularly suitable for use in a bathtub, and the water outlet pipe 1 is in the first position, and the water outlet pipe 1 extends toward the bathtub, thereby supplying water to the bathtub. When it is not necessary to supply water to the bathtub, the water outlet pipe 1 can be rotated to the second position to achieve water diversion switching, and can solve the problem that the water outlet pipe of a traditional faucet extends into the bathtub and is easy to collide with the user. Of course, the faucet is not limited to use in bathtubs, and can also be used in other scenarios.

[0053] In one embodiment, the rotating body 32 is installed in the water outlet pipe 1, and the first water outlet 302 is arranged on the end surface of the rotating body 32 extending into the water outlet pipe 1, so that the water supply of the first water outlet 302 can flow out of the water outlet pipe 1 smoothly.

[0054] In one embodiment, in order to enable the water outlet pipe 1 to drive the rotating body 32 to rotate, a connecting joint 4 is provided on the inner side of the water outlet pipe 1, and a rotating sleeve 6 is provided on the outer side of the rotating body 32. The rotating sleeve 6 is connected to the connecting joint 4. When the water outlet pipe 1 rotates, the connecting joint 4 drives the rotating sleeve 6 to rotate, and the rotating sleeve 6 drives the rotating body 32 to rotate.

[0055] Optionally, the rotating sleeve 6 has internal meshing teeth, and the rotating sleeve 6 is connected to the external meshing teeth of the rotating body 32 through the internal meshing teeth; and / or, the rotating sleeve 6 has external meshing teeth, and the rotating sleeve 6 is connected to the internal meshing teeth of the connecting joint 4 through the external meshing teeth.

[0056] It is understandable that the rotating sleeve 6 and the rotating body 32 as well as the rotating sleeve 6 and the connecting joint 4 can also be connected by other connection methods as long as they can be limited circumferentially. For example, the rotating sleeve 6 has a polygonal hole, and the outer peripheral contour of the rotating body 32 is a polygon that matches the polygonal hole, or the connecting joint 4 has a polygonal hole, and the outer peripheral contour of the rotating sleeve 6 is a polygonal structure that matches and connects to the polygonal hole.

[0057] In one example, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the rotating sleeve 6 has internal meshing teeth, and the rotating sleeve 6 is connected with the external meshing of the rotating body 32;

[0058] The inner meshing teeth of the rotating sleeve 6 are provided with protruding points 611 protruding inward, or the outer meshing teeth of the rotating body 32 are provided with protruding points protruding outward. The rotating sleeve 6 is interference-fitted with the rotating body 32 through the protruding points 611. The protruding points 611 can increase the stability of the connection with the rotating body 32, so that the rotating sleeve 6 can stably rotate with the rotating body 32, and shaking and noise can be avoided. The protruding points 611 here refer to the protruding parts on the surface of the meshing teeth under normal conditions. Fig.12 In the illustrated embodiment, the protrusion 611 is disposed on the tooth tip of the meshing tooth. In other embodiments, the protrusion 611 may also be disposed on the side of the tooth, as long as the rotating sleeve 32 and the rotating body 32 can be interference-fitted through the protrusion 611.

[0059] In one example, the rotating sleeve 6 includes a first ring 61 connected to the rotating body 32 and a second ring 62 connected to the connecting joint 4. The first ring 61 has internal meshing teeth and is connected to the outer gear ring 322 of the rotating body 32. The second ring 62 has external meshing teeth and is connected to the internal meshing teeth of the connecting joint 4.

[0060] In this example, a convex point 611 may be provided on the inner meshing teeth of the first ring 61 , so that the first ring 61 is meshed with the rotating body 32 and has an interference fit with the rotating body 32 through the convex point 611 .

[0061] In one example, if Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the connecting joint 4 is provided with a through hole with two ends passing therethrough, a first water outlet 302 is provided on an end face of one end of the rotating body 32, and the end is connected with a sealing joint 5, the sealing joint 5 is provided with a water outlet hole 51 docking with the first water outlet 302, and the sealing joint 5 is installed in the through hole so that water from the first water outlet 302 flows out of the water outlet pipe 1 through the water outlet hole 51.

[0062] The sealing arrangement between the connecting joint 4 and the sealing joint 5, and the sealing arrangement between the sealing joint 5 and the rotating body 32, ensures that the water flowing out of the first water outlet 302 only flows to the water outlet pipe 1 through the water outlet hole 51, and does not leak from other positions.

[0063] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 8 is arranged between the outer periphery of the sealing joint 5 and the connecting joint 4. Two or more sealing rings 8 may be arranged. The sealing joint 5 forms a seal with the connecting joint 4 through the sealing ring 8 to prevent water from leaking from the gap between the sealing joint 5 and the connecting joint 4.

[0064] In one example, the sealing joint 5 is connected to the threaded connection part 321 of the rotating body 32 by threads, and the threaded connection is relatively firm to prevent the sealing joint 5 from being separated from the rotating body 32 under the action of water pressure. To achieve sealing, the sealing joint 5 also has a stopper 52 that matches the end face of the rotating body 32, wherein a sealing gasket 9 is provided between the end face of the rotating body 32 and the stopper 52 of the sealing joint 5, which can prevent water from leaking from the gap between the rotating body 32 and the sealing joint 5. It can be understood that a seal can also be formed between the outer side of the rotating body 32 and the sealing joint 5.

[0065] In this example, in order to make the structure compact, the first ring 61 and the second ring 62 of the rotating sleeve 6 are arranged axially, and the second ring 62 is closer to the end of the rotating body 32 than the first ring 61, wherein the inner diameter of the second ring 62 is larger than the inner diameter of the first ring 61, so that when the first ring 61 is installed on the rotating body 32, an annular groove is formed between the second ring 62 and the rotating body 32, and one end of the sealing joint 5 threadedly connected to the rotating body 32 is inserted into the annular groove.

[0066] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet pipe 1 is provided with a top screw 17 which is pressed against the rotating sleeve 6. By pressing the rotating sleeve 6 with the top screw 17, the connection between the water outlet pipe 1 and the rotating sleeve 6 can be ensured to be stable, so that the water outlet pipe 1 can rotate stably with the rotating sleeve 6 and the water outlet pipe 1 can be prevented from being separated from the rotating sleeve 6.

[0067] In this example, the sealing joint 5 is connected to the rotating body 32 by a thread, and the end of the sealing joint 5 connected to the rotating body 32 is inserted into the annular groove between the rotating sleeve 6 and the rotating body 32, so that the sealing joint 5 can prevent the rotating sleeve 6 from detaching from the rotating body 32 in the direction away from the water diversion valve core 3. After the top screw 17 locks the water outlet pipe 1 and the rotating sleeve 6, the water outlet pipe 1 cannot detach from the rotating body 32, so that the water outlet pipe 1 and the rotating sleeve 6 cannot detach from the water diversion valve core 3.

[0068] In one embodiment, the water outlet area of ​​the first water outlet 302 of the water diversion valve core 3 is 40-60 mm 2 To avoid affecting the water flow rate, the water outlet area of ​​the water outlet hole 51 of the sealing joint 5 that is connected to the first water outlet 302 is also set to 40-60mm 2 The water outlet area can obtain a larger water flow rate. Under a dynamic pressure of 0.3MPa, the bathtub faucet flow rate is ≥25L / Min, which can effectively meet the water demand of the bathtub. Of course, it is not limited to the above water outlet area, and it is specifically set according to the use requirements and the installed components.

[0069] In one embodiment, the faucet further comprises a mounting seat 2 having a water inlet joint 201 and a water outlet joint 203, the water outlet pipe 1 is rotatably mounted relative to the mounting seat 2, the valve core housing 31 of the water diversion valve core 3 is fixed to the mounting seat 2, and the water inlet 301 corresponds to the water inlet joint 201, and the second water outlet 303 corresponds to the water outlet joint 203. The water outlet joint 203 can be connected to a pipeline for supplying water to a shower or other pipelines, and water is supplied to the shower or other devices through the second water outlet 303. The water inlet joint 201 is used to be connected to the water inlet pipeline, and the water entering the water inlet joint 201 from the water inlet pipeline enters the water diversion valve core 3 through the water inlet 301, and then the water diversion valve core 3 controls the water to flow out from the first water outlet 302 or the second water outlet 303.

[0070] In order to prevent water entering from the water inlet joint 201 from leaking from the mounting seat 2, the faucet also includes a fixing sleeve 7, which is arranged between the mounting seat 2 and the valve core housing 31; wherein a seal is formed between the fixing sleeve 7 and the mounting seat 2 and / or a seal is formed between the fixing sleeve 7 and the valve core housing 31.

[0071] like Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, a sealing ring 14 is provided between the fixing sleeve 7 and the mounting seat 2, and the figure shows that a sealing groove 72 extending in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer periphery of the fixing sleeve 7 for mounting the sealing ring 14. A sealing ring 374 can be provided between the outer side of the valve core housing 31 of the water diversion valve core 3 and the fixing sleeve 7, thereby preventing water from leaking from the gap between the mounting seat 2 and the fixing sleeve 7 and the gap between the fixing sleeve 7 and the valve core housing 31.

[0072] In one example, if Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the fixing sleeve 7 includes a mounting sleeve 71, a sealing sleeve 73 and a positioning sleeve 75 which are sequentially arranged along the axial direction. The outer surface of the mounting sleeve 71 is provided with a thread, which is connected to the mounting seat 2 through the thread. A sealing ring 374 is provided between the sealing sleeve 73 and the valve core housing 31. The outer diameter of the positioning sleeve 75 is smaller than the sealing sleeve 73. A step portion 74 is formed between the positioning sleeve 75 and the sealing sleeve 73. The water outlet pipe 1 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning sleeve 75, and the lower end abuts against the step portion 74.

[0073] Among them, since the water outlet pipe 1 can be rotatably arranged, in order to avoid wear between the water outlet pipe 1 and the fixed sleeve 7 during rotation, a wear-resistant sleeve 10 is arranged between the water outlet pipe 1 and the fixed sleeve 7. The wear-resistant sleeve 10 includes a wear-resistant sleeve main body located between the water outlet pipe 1 and the positioning sleeve body 75 and a radial flange radially protruding from the wear-resistant sleeve main body, and the radial flange is located between the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 1 and the step portion 74.

[0074] In one example, a mounting opening 202 for mounting components such as a water diversion valve core 3 and a fixing sleeve 7 is provided at the top of the mounting seat 2, and an annular flange 204 is provided around the mounting opening 202. When the mounting seat 2 is installed on a bathtub, for example, the annular flange 204 abuts against the installation site and can be fixed by bolts, wherein a flexible pad 13 can be provided under the annular flange 204.

[0075] The faucet may further include a decorative cover 11. When the mounting base 2 is mounted on, for example, a bathtub, the decorative cover 11 is sleeved on the annular flange 204 of the fixing sleeve 7 to play a decorative role. Figure 4 It is shown that the decorative cover 11 is installed on the sealing sleeve body 73 of the fixing sleeve 7 , and a sealing ring 12 which is sleeved on the sealing sleeve body 73 can be arranged below the decorative cover 11 .

[0076] In one embodiment, the faucet further includes a ball 16 and a spring 15 that applies elastic force to the ball 16; wherein the spring 15 is disposed in the mounting hole 76 of one of the first component and the second component, the ball 16 is disposed at the top of the spring 15, and at least two limiting grooves 63 are disposed on the other of the first component and the second component, wherein the first component is a component circumferentially fixed relative to the mounting seat 2, and the second component is a component circumferentially fixed relative to the water outlet pipe 1; when the second component rotates relative to the first component, the ball 16 can move into the limiting groove 63 and can move out of the limiting groove 63, and the spring 15 is squeezed when entering the limiting groove 63, and is released when moving out of the limiting groove 63. When the water outlet pipe 1 rotates to the first position and the second position, the ball 16 is respectively sunk into one of the limiting grooves 63.

[0077] Through the cooperation between the touch ball 16 and the limiting groove 63, the limiting groove 63 has a certain resistance to the rotation of the touch ball 16, thereby having a certain positioning effect on the water outlet pipe 1, so that the water outlet pipe 1 will not easily leave the gear position, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of users accidentally touching the water outlet pipe 1 and causing the water outlet pipe 1 to rotate and lead to incorrect switching; in addition, during the rotation of the water outlet pipe 1, the touch ball 16 enters and exits the limiting groove 63, which will produce a slight sound such as "clicking", which is conducive to improving the user's experience.

[0078] In one example, one of the rotating sleeve 6 and the fixed sleeve 7 is provided with a mounting hole 76, and the other is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 63 along the circumferential direction, that is, the first component mentioned above is the fixed sleeve 7, and the second component is the rotating sleeve 6. Of course, it can be understood that the arrangement of the bumping ball 16 and the limiting groove 63 is not limited to the rotating sleeve 6 and the fixed sleeve 7, and in the two components that can rotate relatively during the rotation of the water outlet pipe 1, one of the components can be provided with a bumping ball, and the other component can be provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the bumping ball.

[0079] like Figure 4-Figure 6 In the example shown, the combination Fig.15 and Fig.16 , a plurality of limiting grooves 63 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the rotating sleeve 6, a mounting hole 76 is arranged on the fixed sleeve 7, a spring 15 is installed in the mounting hole 76, and a bumper 16 is installed at the top of the spring 15. The rotating sleeve 6 may include a first sleeve ring 61 connected to the rotating body 32 and a second sleeve ring 62 with an outer diameter greater than the first sleeve ring 61 and connected to the connecting joint 4, and an annular platform is formed between the first sleeve ring 61 and the second sleeve ring 62 on the outer side of the rotating sleeve 6, and a plurality of limiting grooves 63 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference on the annular platform.

[0080] In one embodiment, the structure of the water diversion valve core 3 can refer to Figure 8-Figure 10 The structure shown in the figure includes a valve core housing 31 and a rotating body 32 rotatably mounted on the valve core housing 31, the rotating body 32 is connected to a moving disc 33, when the outlet pipe 1 rotates with the rotating body 32, the rotating body 32 rotates with the moving disc 33, a static disc 34 is mounted on the valve core housing 31, wherein the static disc 34 is provided with at least one first connecting hole 341, two first connecting holes 341 are shown in the figure, and the moving disc 33 is provided with second connecting holes 331 respectively corresponding to the first connecting holes 341, when the rotating body 32 rotates with the moving disc 33 to the first position, the reference Figure 5 The second connecting hole 331 is connected to the first connecting hole 341, so that the water inlet 301 is connected to the first water outlet 302 through the connecting holes on the moving plate 33 and the static plate 34, and the water entering from the water inlet 301 flows out from the first water outlet 302.
