[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a translation type valve core 1000 of an embodiment of the utility model is shown, which includes a housing 100, a lever 200, a dial 300, a limit bracket 400, a movable valve plate 500 and a static valve plate 600. Figure 1 Specifically, the housing 100 is provided with a first water outlet 121 and a second water outlet 122. The first water outlet 121 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 100, a portion of the second water outlet 122 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100, and another portion of the second water outlet 122 is located on the bottom wall of the housing 100, so that the second water outlet 122 has the function of lateral water inlet and outlet. The second water outlet 122 can be understood as a lateral water outlet. Figures 2 to 5As shown, the dial 300 is connected to the lower end of the lever 200, and the dial 300 and the lever 200 are integrally formed, so that the dial 300 and the lever 200 are an integral structure, which can be made by a plastic integral molding process, and is relatively convenient to manufacture. The limit bracket 400 is fixed in the housing 100, the limit bracket 400 is provided with a through hole 410, the lever 200 is penetrated in the through hole 410, the dial 300 is provided with a limit slide 310 extending in the horizontal direction, and the bottom of the limit bracket 400 is provided with a limit portion 420 extending in the horizontal direction, and the limit portion 420 is slidably matched with the limit slide 310, so that the dial 300 can translate in the horizontal direction relative to the limit bracket 400.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the bottom of the movable valve plate 500 is provided with a water mixing chamber 510, the top of the movable valve plate 500 is provided with a groove 520, and the bottom of the dial 300 is also provided with a connecting portion 320 extending downward. The groove 520 cooperates with the connecting portion 320, so that when the dial 300 is translated, the dial 300 can drive the movable valve plate 500 to translate together. Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the static valve plate 600 is located below the movable valve plate 500 and fixed in the housing 100. The static valve plate 600 is provided with a first water passage hole 610 and a second water passage hole 620. The first water passage hole 610 is communicated with the first water passage port 121, and the second water passage hole 620 is communicated with the second water passage port 122. When the lever 200 is translated, the lever 200 can drive the movable valve plate 500 to move relative to the static valve plate 600, so that the first water passage hole 610 and the second water passage hole 620 are both communicated with the water mixing chamber 510 to achieve water flow.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lever 200 and the dial 300 are integrally formed into an integrated part, and the rotation or swinging motion of the lever 200 can be converted into a translational motion. When the lever 200 is translated, the lever 200 can drive the movable valve plate 500 to move relative to the static valve plate 600, so that the first water through hole 610 and the second water through hole 620 of the static valve plate 600 are connected to the mixing water chamber 510 of the static valve plate 600, so that water can pass through and meet the customer's usage needs. In addition, since the lever 200 and the dial 300 are an integrated part, when assembling the lever 200, the dial 300 and the limit bracket 400, the lever 200 can be directly inserted into the through hole 410 of the limit bracket 400 from bottom to top, which can simplify the assembly operation. In addition, since part of the second water outlet 122 is located on the outer wall of the shell 100, the valve core of this embodiment can have the function of lateral water inlet and outlet. When the valve core is vertically installed in the faucet, the water pipe (such as the outlet pipe) in the faucet is arranged roughly horizontally. The lateral arrangement of the second water outlet 122 can facilitate the connection of the water pipe and avoid excessive bending angle of the water pipe, thereby meeting the working requirements of lateral water inlet and outlet.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting bracket 400 is provided with a first slide groove 430 and a second slide groove 440 extending along the length direction of the lever 200. It can also be understood that the first slide groove 430 and the second slide groove 440 extend along the axial direction of the valve core, and the first slide groove 430 and the second slide groove 440 are arranged at intervals. The side wall of the lever 200 is provided with a through hole 410, and a bayonet 210 is provided in the through hole 410. An elastic member 220 is provided between the bayonet 210 and the bottom wall of the through hole 410. The elastic member 220 is used to provide elastic force to the bayonet 210. In some embodiments, the elastic member 220 can be configured as a spring or a spring sheet. The bayonet 210 can cooperate with the first slide groove 430 or the second slide groove 440. When the lever 200 is translated, the bayonet 210 can switch between the first slide groove 430 and the second slide groove 440. In this embodiment, by providing the bayonet 210, under the elastic force of the elastic member 220, the bayonet 210 can press against the first slide groove 430 or the second slide groove 440 to provide a damping effect, so that the lever 200 can remain in place, and the lever 200 will not move randomly due to vibration. The bayonet 210 can also switch between the first slide groove 430 and the second slide groove 440 to achieve the gear adjustment of the lever 200, and the water discharge can be adjusted. A part of the structure of the bayonet 210 is located in the through hole 410, and the through hole 410 can limit the bayonet 210. In some embodiments, the number of the above-mentioned slide grooves can be arranged in multiples, and the multiple slide grooves are arranged at intervals to achieve multi-gear adjustment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first water outlet 121 is configured as a water outlet, and the second water outlet 122 is configured as a water inlet, so that the water passing function of side inlet and bottom outlet can be realized. When the bayonet 210 cooperates with the first slide groove 430, the valve core is in the water-off state, and the water mixing chamber 510 is disconnected from the second water passing hole 620. When the bayonet 210 cooperates with the second slide groove 440, the translation type valve core 1000 is in the water-on state, and the water mixing chamber 510 connects the first water passing hole 610 and the second water passing hole 620. It can be understood that the first slide groove 430 and the second slide groove 440 are arranged to realize the function of switching water on and off, and the structure is simple and easy to use. In addition, in the absence of external interference, since the bayonet 210 is pressed against the first slide groove 430 or the second slide groove 440, the lever 200 will not move at will, and the valve core can be kept in the water-on state or the water-off state.

[0038] Reference Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic member 220 is configured as a spring, one end of the elastic member 220 abuts against the bottom wall of the through hole 410, and the other end abuts against the bayonet 210. The bayonet 210 is provided with an extension portion 211, the outer diameter of the extension portion 211 is smaller than the inner diameter of the spring, and the extension portion 211 extends into the spring. It can also be understood that the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the extension portion 211, which can prevent the spring from being separated from the bayonet 210 and play a limiting role on the spring.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the housing 100 includes an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120, the first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 122 are both arranged in the lower shell 120, the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are annular structures, and the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are connected by a buckle structure. When assembling the valve core, first install the lever 200, the dial 300, the limit bracket 400, the movable valve plate 500 and the static valve plate 600 and other parts into the lower shell 120, and finally cover the upper shell 110, and fasten the buckle structure, which can be understood as clamping the parts inside the valve core, and it is more convenient to assemble.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the inner peripheral wall of the upper shell 110 is provided with a first positioning portion 111, and the outer peripheral wall of the limiting bracket 400 is provided with a first positioning groove 450. The first positioning portion 111 cooperates with the first positioning groove 450. Since the upper shell 110 is fixed, the rotation of the limiting bracket 400 can be limited, which plays a limiting role and prevents the lever 200 from deviating from the limiting bracket 400.

[0041] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the inner peripheral wall of the lower shell 120 is provided with a second positioning portion 123, and the outer peripheral wall of the static valve plate 600 is provided with a second positioning groove 630. The second positioning portion 123 cooperates with the second positioning groove 630 to limit the rotation of the static valve plate 600 and play a limiting role, thereby preventing the static valve plate 600 from running off and causing the first water hole 610 and the second water hole 620 to fail to align with the first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 122 respectively.
