Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of faucets, and more specifically, to a faucet that can dispense water by pressing on the side. Background Art

[0002] The existing hot and cold water faucet has a mixing valve on the upper side of the faucet body. The mixing valve has a control handle with a long handle extending outward. By turning up the long handle of the control handle or resetting the control handle, the hot and cold water faucet can be controlled; by rotating the control handle to the left or right, the mixing ratio of hot and cold water passing through the mixing valve can be controlled, and the temperature of the water coming out of the faucet can be controlled.

[0003] The above-mentioned conventional hot and cold water faucet has a water outlet pipe extending forward from the faucet body, a water outlet hole is provided on the lower side of the free end of the water outlet pipe, another water outlet hole is provided on the lower side of the middle of the water outlet pipe for connecting to a shower head connector, and a shower head is connected to the shower head connector. In order to control the hot and cold water faucet to discharge water from the water outlet pipe or from the shower head, a switching valve is provided on the water outlet pipe, and by pressing a button of the switching valve or resetting the button, water can be switched to flow out from the water outlet hole at the free end of the water outlet pipe or from the shower head.

[0004] Although the existing hot and cold water faucets can use the mixing valve to adjust the water temperature of the outflowing water, and can use the switching valve to switch the water outflow from the water outlet pipe or the shower head. However, since the mixing valve or the switching valve are located at a similar position on the upper side of the hot and cold water faucets, and the long handle of the control handle easily covers the pressing button of the switching valve, the user is easily blocked by the control handle when operating the switching valve, or the maintenance personnel are repairing the switching valve, which makes it difficult to operate or repair. In addition, the pressing button located on the upper side does not conform to the position where the left and right hands of a person are located on the side of the human body, and the operation method of pressing down or pulling up the pressing button is not intuitive. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present application is to provide a faucet, comprising a main body, two water inlet holes formed on one side around the main body, and the extension direction of the two water inlet holes is roughly perpendicular to the axial direction of the main body, so that when a switching valve is set at one of the two ends of the main body, the pressure button of the switching valve is located on one of the two sides of the faucet along the axial direction, and is spaced apart from the mixing valve also installed on the main body in terms of spatial configuration, so that the operation of switching the water outlets with the pressure button is more intuitive, and the operation of the pressure button is not affected by the mixing valve.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a faucet for side-pressing water distribution, comprising a faucet body, a mixing valve, and a switching valve.

[0007] The water mixing valve comprises a water mixing valve core and a control handle connected to the water mixing valve core; the water mixing valve core is sealedly inserted into the water mixing valve groove, and the control handle is used to switch or adjust the ratio of water flowing into the water mixing valve core from the first water inlet hole and the second water inlet hole and then flowing out from the drainage channel. The switching valve comprises a valve seat, a piston, and a push button; the valve seat is inserted into the first hole section, the second hole section is fixed to the first cavity, a piston hole is formed in the valve seat, and the extension direction is the same as the axial direction, and at least one first outlet, at least one inlet, and at least one second outlet are passed through the periphery of the valve seat, each of the inlets is communicated with the water collection hole, each of the first outlets is communicated with the communication hole, and each of the second outlets is communicated with the first cavity; the piston is slidably inserted into the piston hole, and a connecting groove is concavely provided on the outer peripheral surface of the piston, and the connecting groove is used to connect each of the inlets with each of the first outlets or each of the inlets with each of the second outlets, and the piston is connected to a piston rod; the push button is combined with the free end of the piston rod.

[0008] When the present application is used, the first water outlet hole and the second water outlet hole of the faucet body are connected to the cold water hole and the hot water hole on the wall of the building through a pipe, so that the cold water and hot water of the cold water hole and the hot water hole are respectively injected into the main pipe of the faucet body through the first water inlet hole and the second water inlet hole. The user can open the mixing valve by turning the control handle, so that the cold and hot water converge in the mixing valve core and then flow into the water collection hole through the drainage channel, and then flow to the inlet of the switching valve. When operating the switching valve, by pressing or resetting the push button, the piston moves to the position where the connecting groove can connect each of the inlets and each of the first outlets, or the connecting groove can connect each of the inlets and each of the second outlets, and the switching water flows through the second cavity and then flows out from the second water outlet, or the water flows through the first cavity and then flows out from the first water outlet.

[0104] The faucet body 10 of the first preferred embodiment of the present application includes not only the main body 12 and the water outlet pipe 14 connected to the main body 12, but also the second water outlet hole 141 formed on the water outlet pipe 14 and connected to the second cavity 125; in other preferred embodiments, the faucet body 10 may not include the water outlet pipe 14, and the second water outlet hole 141 may be directly formed on one side around the main body 12, so that the second water outlet hole 141 formed around the main body 12 is connected to the second cavity 125, and the water flowing into the second cavity 125 will flow out from the second water outlet hole 141 around the main body 12.

[0105] When using the side-pressing water tap 100 of the first preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 4 The first pipe 151 connected to the first water inlet 131 and the second pipe 161 connected to the second water inlet 132 are respectively connected to the cold water hole and the hot water hole on the wall of the building, so that the cold water and the hot water of the cold and hot water holes are respectively injected into the main pipe 12 of the faucet body 10 from the first water inlet 131 and the second water inlet 132; the shower head used for showering is connected to the shower head connector 11.

[0106] When the user wants to take water from the water outlet pipe 14, the user opens the water mixing valve 20 by turning the control handle 24 of the water mixing valve 20 disposed on the right side of the main body 12, so that the cold and hot water injected into the main body 12 converge into the water mixing valve core 22 and then flow into the water collection hole 1232 through the drainage channel 127. In the process of the cold and hot water converging into the water mixing valve core 22, the ratio of the cold water and the hot water flowing into the water mixing valve core 22 can be adjusted by turning the control handle 24, so as to change the temperature of the water converging into the water collection hole 1232. The water flowing into the water collection hole 1232 will then flow into the inlet 324 of the switching valve 30. In a natural state, the connecting groove 341 of the piston 34 connects the inlets 324 and the first outlets 323, so that water flows through the connecting groove 341 and the first outlets 323 into the connecting hole 1223, and then flows into the second chamber 125 from the connecting hole 1223. Figure 1 As shown, the water flowing into the second chamber 125 will eventually flow out from the second water outlet 141 of the water outlet pipe 14 .

[0107] When the user wants to use the shower head, please refer to Figure 3 and Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the user presses the button 36 of the switching valve 30 by hand, so that the button 36 moves along the axial direction L toward the main body 12. During the movement of the button 36, the cap 351 compresses the spring 355 and pushes the piston 34 through the piston rod 35, so that the piston 34 moves to a position where the connecting groove 341 connects each of the inlets 324 and each of the second outlets 325. At this time, the water flowing into the water collection hole 1232 flows into the first chamber 124 through the connecting groove 341 and each of the second outlets 325. Figure 8 As shown, the water flowing into the first chamber 124 will eventually flow out from the first water outlet 121 to the showerhead connector 11 and the showerhead. The water pressure flowing through the water collection hole 1232, the connecting groove 341 and each of the second outlets 325 will resist the restoring force of the spring 355 after the push button 36 is pressed in, so that the piston 34 remains in the moved position. When the user resets the control handle 24 of the switching valve 30 to close the water flow, the restoring force of the spring 355 will push the push button 36 outward, so that the push button 36 moves along the axial direction L to return to the original position.

[0108] The first preferred embodiment of the present application sets the switching valve 30 at one end of the main body 12 along the axial direction L, which is in line with the position of the human hand on the side of the body, so that the user can operate the push button 36 to switch the water outlet from the second water outlet 141 or the first water outlet 121 more quickly and intuitively. In addition, since the mixing valve 20 provided on the main body 12 and the push button 36 of the switching valve 30 are at least separated by the valve seat 32, especially in the first preferred embodiment, the mixing valve 20 is provided at the other end of the main body 12 along the axial direction L, so that the control handle 24 of the mixing valve 20 will not cover the push button 36, nor will it hinder the operation of the push button 36. In addition to making the operation process of the push button 36 more comfortable, it is also easier to repair the switching valve 30, thereby improving the maintainability of the switching valve 30. The design of the switching valve 30 axially inserted into one end of the main body 12 also makes the appearance of the side-press water-dispensing faucet 100 more coordinated, and there is no push button 36 protruding from the surface around the main body 12. In particular, in the preferred embodiment, there is no push button 36 and the control handle 24 protruding from the surface around the main body 12 or the upper surface of the water outlet pipe 14, so that the side-press water-dispensing faucet 100 has a more beautiful appearance.

In the natural state of this preferred embodiment, the piston 34A is located in the piston hole 322A at a position that enables the connecting groove 341A to connect each of the inlets 324A and each of the first outlets 323A. The outer peripheral surface of the piston 34A is provided with a pair of piston sealing rings 342A spaced apart on both sides adjacent to the connecting groove 341A, and the pair of piston sealing rings 342A abut against the inner peripheral surface of the piston hole 322A.

[0119] The faucet body 10A of the second preferred embodiment of the present application includes not only the main body 12A and the water outlet pipe 14A connected to the main body 12A, but also the first water outlet hole 141A formed on the water outlet pipe 14A and connected to the first cavity 124A; in other preferred embodiments, the faucet body 10A may not include the water outlet pipe 14A, and the first water outlet hole 141A may be directly formed on one side around the main body 12A, so that the first water outlet hole 141A formed around the main body 12A is connected to the first cavity 124A. At this time, the water flowing into the first cavity 124A will flow out from the first water outlet hole 141A around the main body 12A.

[0120] When using the side-pressing water tap 100A of the second preferred embodiment, please refer to Fig. 9 and Figures 11 to 13 The first pipe 151A connected to the first water inlet 131A and the second pipe 161A connected to the second water inlet 132A are respectively connected to the cold water hole and the hot water hole on the wall of the building, so that the cold water and the hot water of the cold and hot water holes are respectively injected into the main pipe 12A of the faucet body 10A from the first water inlet 131A and the second water inlet 132A; the shower head used for showering is connected to the shower head connector 11.

[0121] When the user wants to use the shower head, the user opens the mixing valve 20A by turning the control handle 24A of the mixing valve 20A disposed on the right side of the main body 12A, so that the cold and hot water injected into the main body 12A converge into the mixing valve core 22A and then flow into the water collection hole 1232A through the diversion channel 127A. In the process of the cold and hot water converging into the mixing valve core 22A, the ratio of the cold water and the hot water flowing into the mixing valve core 22A can be adjusted by turning the control handle 24A to change the temperature of the water converging into the water collection hole 1232A. The water flowing into the water collection hole 1232A then flows into the inlet 324A of the switching valve 30A. In a natural state, the connecting groove 341A of the piston 34A connects each inlet 324A with each first outlet 323A, so that water flows through the connecting groove 341A and each first outlet 323A into the connecting hole 1223A, and then flows into the second chamber 125A from the connecting hole 1223A. Fig.11 As shown, the water flowing into the second chamber 125A will eventually flow out to the showerhead connector 11A and the showerhead.

[0122] When the user wants to take water from the water outlet pipe 14A, please refer to Fig. 9 and Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the user presses the button 36A of the switching valve 30A by hand, so that the button 36A moves along the axial direction L toward the main body 12A. During the movement of the button 36A, the cap 351A compresses the spring 355A and pushes the piston 34A through the piston rod 35A, so that the piston 34A moves to a position where the connecting groove 341A connects each of the inlets 324A and each of the second outlets 325A. At this time, the water flowing into the water collection hole 1232A flows into the first chamber 124A through the connecting groove 341A and each of the second outlets 325A. Fig.11 As shown, the water flowing into the first chamber 124A will eventually flow out from the first water outlet 141A of the water outlet pipe 14A. The water pressure flowing through the water collection hole 1232A, the connecting groove 341A and each of the second outlets 325A will resist the restoring force of the spring 355A after the push button 36A is pressed in, so that the piston 34A remains in the moved position. When the user resets the control handle 24A of the switching valve 30A to close the water flow, the restoring force of the spring 355A will push the push button 36A outward, so that the push button 36A moves along the axial direction L and returns to the original position.

[0123] The second preferred embodiment of the present application sets the switching valve 30A at one end of the main body 12A along the axial direction L, which is in line with the position of the human hand on the side of the body, so that the user can operate the push button 36A to switch the water outlet from the second water outlet 121A or the first water outlet 141A more quickly and intuitively. In addition, since the mixing valve 20A set on the main body 12A and the push button 36A of the switching valve 30A are at least separated by the valve seat 32A, especially in the second preferred embodiment, the mixing valve 20A is set at the other end of the main body 12A along the axial direction L, so that the control handle 24A of the mixing valve 20A will not cover the push button 36A, nor will it hinder the operation of the push button 36A. In addition to making the operation process of the push button 36A more comfortable, it is also easier to repair the switching valve 30A, thereby improving the maintainability of the switching valve 30A. The design of the switching valve 30A being axially inserted into one end of the main body 12A also makes the appearance of the side-press water-distribution faucet 100A more coordinated, and there is no push button 36A protruding from the surface around the main body 12A. In particular, in the preferred embodiment, there is no push button 36A and the control handle 24A protruding from the surface around the main body 12A or the upper surface of the water outlet pipe 14A, so that the side-press water-distribution faucet 100A has a more beautiful appearance.

[0124] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
