These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc., and the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0028] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] The embodiment provides a multifunctional faucet, comprising a faucet housing 10 and a drying module, a water supply pipe (not shown in the figure) and a soap supply pipe (not shown in the figure) integrated in the faucet housing 10. The outlet of the faucet housing 10 is equipped with an output head 20. The faucet housing 10 comprises a faucet main housing 11 and a side cover plate 12. The faucet main housing 11 has a receiving cavity 101 and a side opening 102 connected to the receiving cavity 101. In the embodiment, the faucet housing 10 has a curved arc, and its cross section is roughly square. The side opening 102 is located on the inner side of the curved arc. The drying module comprises a ventilation pipe 30, an instant heater 41 and a fan 42. The ventilation pipe 30 is installed in the receiving cavity 101, and its air outlet 31 is arranged on the output head 20. The ventilation pipe 30 also has a mounting opening 32 corresponding to the side opening 102 of the faucet main housing 10, that is, the mounting opening 32 and the side opening 102 are in the same direction. The instant heater 41 and the fan 42 are installed in the ventilation pipe 30 through the installation opening 32; in this way, when working, the fan 42 drives the air flow to pass through the instant heater 41, and after being heated by the instant heater 41 to form hot air, it is blown out from the air outlet 31 of the output head 20 to achieve the drying function. The water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe are arranged on the side of the ventilation pipe 30 facing the side opening 102 and are respectively connected to the output head 20; the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe are respectively connected to the water supply component and the soap supply component, and are used to respectively achieve the water supply and soap supply functions. The side cover plate 12 is detachably covered on the side opening 102 of the faucet main shell 11; in this way, the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe are both arranged between the ventilation pipe 30 and the side cover plate 12.

[0030] When assembling the multifunctional faucet provided in this embodiment, the instant heater 41 and the fan 42 can be first installed in the ventilation pipe 30 through the installation opening 32, and then the ventilation pipe 30 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 101. The installation method is to directly install it from the side opening 102 of the faucet main shell 11, and then install the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe respectively; finally, cover the side cover plate 12 to complete the assembly. When maintenance is required, remove the side cover plate 12, and there will be sufficient space to operate the components in the accommodating cavity 101; if it is necessary to remove the instant heater 41 or the fan 42 in the ventilation pipe 30, just operate from the installation opening 32 of the corresponding side opening 102. This state is as follows Figure 2 As shown, there is also enough operating space. After the maintenance is completed, it can be installed in sequence. In this way, the assembly and disassembly maintenance of the faucet can be simplified, so that the faucet has the functions of drying, supplying water and dispensing soap at the same time.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the fan 42 is directly installed at the position corresponding to the installation opening 32, and the instant heater 41 is installed above the fan 42. The wind first passes through the fan 42 and then reaches the instant heater 41, so as to prevent the fan 42 from being easily damaged by contacting the hot air. When assembling, the instant heater 41 needs to be installed from the installation opening 32 first, and then the fan 42 is assembled. Similarly, when disassembling, the fan 42 needs to be removed first, and then the instant heater 41 is removed. Of course, in other embodiments, it is not limited to this.

[0032] The installation opening 32 of the ventilation pipe 30 is also equipped with a detachable installation cover plate 43. After the instant heater 41 and the fan 42 are assembled, the installation cover plate 43 is installed into the installation opening 32 so that the fan 42 is not exposed. Of course, in other embodiments, the installation cover plate 43 may not be provided without affecting the operation of the instant heater 41 and the fan 42 and without interfering with external components (such as the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe).

[0033] Specifically, the output head 20 and the ventilation pipe 30 are integrally connected, such as integrally formed by a mold. The output head 20 is installed simultaneously when the ventilation pipe 30 is assembled. The integrally connected structure can reduce the types of components and improve installation efficiency.

[0034] The output head 20 is equipped with a water outlet 51 and a soap liquid output pipe 52. The outlet of the water supply pipe is connected to the water outlet 51. Specifically, the water outlet 51 is a bubbler, and the outlet of the soap supply pipe is connected to the soap liquid output pipe 52. The water outlet 51 and the soap liquid output pipe 52 can be pre-installed on the output head 20 to facilitate subsequent assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, it is not necessary to add the water outlet 51 and the soap liquid output pipe 52. For example, the water outlet and the soap liquid output port are directly formed on the output head 20, and the output of water and soap liquid can also be achieved.

[0035] In order to achieve better assembly, the outer peripheral protrusion of the ventilation pipe 30 is provided with a connecting rib 33. The structure of the connecting rib 33 can make the cross-sectional size of the ventilation pipe 30 match the accommodating cavity. In this way, the ventilation pipe 30 can be positioned in the accommodating cavity 101 of the faucet main shell 11 through the connecting rib 33, and the assembly accuracy is good. The connecting rib 33 is provided with a connecting hole 34, and also includes a first fixing member 71, which is passed through the connecting hole 34 of the connecting rib 33 and fixed to the faucet shell 10. In this embodiment, the first fixing member 71 is a bolt, which passes through the connecting hole 34 and is screwed to the faucet main shell 11. The first fixing member 71 does not penetrate the faucet main shell 11, making its appearance smoother and simpler.

[0036] Specifically, the ventilation pipe 30 has an arc section 36 to fit the faucet housing 10. The inner arc surface of the arc section 36 corresponds to the side opening 102, and the inner arc surface of the arc section 36 also bulges to form an inner convex rib 331. The inner convex rib 331 has a fixing hole 35, which is a screw hole, and also includes a second fixing member 72, which is also a bolt. After the side cover plate 12 is covered, the second fixing member 72 penetrates from the outside of the side cover plate 12 and is screwed into the fixing hole 35 of the inner convex rib 331, so that the side cover plate 12 is fixed.

[0037] Specifically, the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting rib 331 located on the inner arc surface of the arc segment 36, effectively preventing the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe from interfering with each other. Of course, in other embodiments, the water supply pipe and the soap supply pipe can also be arranged on the same side, while the other side is used for the layout of other circuits (such as conductive circuits, etc.).

[0038] Furthermore, the multifunctional faucet further includes a drying sensor 62, a water supply sensor 61 and a soap supply sensor 63; the drying sensor 62 is used to start the sensing of the drying function, the water supply sensor 61 is used to start the sensing of the water supply function, and the soap supply sensor 63 is used to start the sensing of the soap supply function. The drying sensor 62, the water supply sensor 61 and the soap supply sensor 63 are arranged on different sides, so as to prevent the sensing areas from overlapping each other.

[0039] Specifically, the above-mentioned method of starting the corresponding function through the induction of the sensor is the existing technology, such as the drying sensor 62, the water supply sensor 61 and the soap supply sensor 63 are all connected to the control box, and the control box controls the operation of the drying module, the water supply component and the soap supply component respectively.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, the water supply sensor 61 is on the same side as the outlet of the faucet housing 10; the drying sensor 62 and the soap supply sensor 63 are respectively facing the two sides of the faucet housing 10. When it is necessary to sense the water outlet, the hand is inserted under the water outlet 51, and the water supply sensor 61 starts the water supply function after sensing, which is convenient for cleaning. When it is necessary to start the soap supply function or the drying function, the hand is inserted into the corresponding side so that the corresponding sensor can sense it.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drying sensor 62, the water supply sensor 61 and the soap supply sensor 63 are integrated into a sensor body 60, and the sensor body 60 is assembled on the output head 20, thereby realizing the integrated assembly of multiple sensors, which is more convenient to assemble.

[0042] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes may be made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
