[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A faucet includes a faucet body 1, a water outlet 2, a first switching mechanism 3 and a second switching mechanism 4. The faucet body 1 is fixedly arranged on a wall, and the faucet body 1 is connected to an external water source.
[0023] The faucet body 1 is horizontally arranged on the wall, and the external water sources are a hot water source 61 and a cold water source 62, respectively. The two ends of the faucet body 1 are connected to the hot water source 61 and the cold water source 62, respectively. A hot water channel and a cold water channel are formed inside the faucet body 1, the hot water channel is connected to the hot water source 61, and the cold water channel is connected to the cold water source 62. The faucet body 1 is also provided with a thermostat 5, which is connected to the hot water channel and the cold water channel, respectively. The thermostat 5 is used to connect the hot water source 61 and the cold water source 62 to form mixed water of a preset temperature, and is connected to the first switching mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the thermostat 5 and the first switching mechanism 3 are respectively arranged in the two ends of the faucet body 1, and the user can adjust them conveniently.
[0024] The faucet body 1 includes a first water outlet 11, a second water outlet 12 and a third water outlet 13. The first switching mechanism 3 is used to receive mixed water and connect to the first water outlet 11 or the second switching mechanism 4. The second switching mechanism 4 is used to connect to the second water outlet 12 or the third water outlet 13. The water outlet head 2 forms the third water outlet 13. The water outlet head 2 includes an extended position and a folded position that move relative to the faucet body 1. The water outlet head 2 is linked to the second switching mechanism 4. When the water outlet head 2 is in the extended position, the second switching mechanism 4 connects to the third water outlet 13, and the third water outlet 13 is away from the wall. When the water outlet head 2 is in the folded position, the third water outlet 13 is close to the wall, and the second switching mechanism 4 connects to the second water outlet 12.
[0025] Therefore, when the water outlet head 2 is in the folded position, the first switching mechanism 3 can control the mixed water to be connected to the first water outlet 11 or the second water outlet 12, and when the water outlet head 2 is in the unfolded position, the first switching mechanism 3 can control the mixed water to be connected to the first water outlet 11 or the third water outlet 13, or, when the first switching mechanism 3 connects the mixed water to the second water outlet 12, the water outlet head 2 can be moved to the unfolded position to connect the mixed water to the third water outlet head 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, the water outlet head 2 is rotatably arranged at the lower side of the faucet body 1, and when in the folded position, the end of the water outlet head 2 is located below the faucet body 1, and when in the unfolded position, the end of the water outlet head 2 is away from the faucet body 1. More specifically, the beginning of the water outlet head 2 is rotatably arranged at the middle position of the lower side of the faucet body 1; when in the folded position, the water outlet head 2 is horizontally arranged below the faucet body 1; when in the unfolded position, the water outlet head 2 is longitudinally arranged below the faucet body 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the second switching mechanism 4 is a rotary switching valve, and the water outlet head 2 is sleeved outside the rotary switching valve to be able to link the rotary switching valve. The rotary switching valve includes the second water outlet 12 and a lateral water outlet 41, the lateral water outlet 41 is connected to the water outlet head 2, and the end of the water outlet head 2 forms the third water outlet 13.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first water outlet 11 is arranged upward, and the second water outlet 12 is arranged downward. The first water outlet 11 is used to connect a column, the end of which is connected to a head shower, and the second water outlet 12 is used to connect a hose, the end of which is connected to a handheld shower.
[0029] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field who uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model shall be deemed to infringe the protection scope of the utility model.
