Therefore, the following detailed description of the implementation mode of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is sought, but merely represents the selected implementation mode of the utility model. Based on the implementation mode in the utility model, all other implementation modes obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a faucet structure, including a faucet body 1 and a valve core 2 installed on the body 1 for connecting and controlling the water path of the body 1, and a control head 3 as a control unit of the water path is arranged on the valve core 2. Among them, the bottom end of the valve core 2 is respectively provided with a cold water inlet, a hot water inlet and a water outlet, which are respectively used to connect the cold water pipe, the hot water pipe and the mixed water path. After the cold and hot water enter the valve core 2, the control head 3 is radially rotated to adjust the cold and hot degree and the end is rotated to adjust the switch and the water flow size. This is the existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0023] Preferably, the body 1 further comprises a base 4, a shell 5, a handle seat 6 and a handle rod 7. The base 4 is provided with a slot 8, the valve core 2 is installed in the base 4, and the control head 3 extends into the slot 8 from the inside of the base 4 through the opening at the bottom of the slot 8; the shell 5 is rotatably connected to the outside of the base 4, the handle seat 6 is installed on the control head 3, and the handle rod 7 is installed on one end of the handle seat 6 by threaded connection; the shell 5 is provided with a through slot 9 suitable for the handle rod 7 to extend from the inside of the slot 8 to the outside, and the handle rod 7 can swing up and down on the through slot 9 to control the control head 3 to switch the waterway. The operator moves the handle rod 7 up and down to make it swing up and down relative to the valve core 2, thereby controlling the switch and flow of the water flow. At the same time, due to the limit of the through slot 9 on the shell 5, the temperature function will not be affected when the waterway is switched on and off; further, by rotating the shell 5, the groove wall of the through slot 9 is pressed against the handle rod 7 to rotate, so that the valve core 2 can adjust the temperature of the water when it is discharged. By providing a rotating housing 5 in conjunction with the through slot 9, the switch and temperature adjustment functions of the water circuit are operated separately. When the switch and flow rate are adjusted, the handle bar 7 can be stably moved up and down due to the limit of the through slot 9, which will not affect the temperature of the water circuit. In this way, the operator does not need to make adjustments every time, which is more convenient.

[0024] Preferably, a gap is left between the handle bar 7 and the side walls of the through slot 9. A small gap is set between the two, which will not affect the use of the original function and can facilitate the passage of the handle bar 7 during installation.

[0025] Preferably, a valve core seat 10 is connected between the valve core 2 and the base 4. By providing the valve core seat 10 to install the valve core 2, the sealing performance of the valve core 2 in the faucet body 1 can be improved, and it is also convenient to connect the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe through the connection hole on the valve core seat 10.

[0026] Among them, the valve core seat 10 is installed inside the base 4, and an inner cavity 11 is formed between the valve core seat 10 and the base 4 after installation. The upper end of the base 4 is provided with an opening for installing a faucet adapter 12, and the opening and the inner cavity 11 are connected; the mixed water enters the inner cavity 11 from the water outlet of the valve core 2 and then flows to the faucet adapter 12, and the faucet adapter 12 can be used to install and connect different types of water outlet pipe assemblies.

[0027] Preferably, the lower end of the base 4 is rotatably connected with a gland 13, and the upper end of the gland 13 abuts against the valve core seat 10. By providing the gland 13, the stability of the connection between the valve core seat 10, the valve core 2 and the base 4 is further strengthened, thereby ensuring the sealing of the faucet body 1.

[0028] Preferably, an under-counter mounting member 14 is connected and arranged below the base 4. In this embodiment, the base 4 is stably mounted on the sink countertop of the kitchen through the under-counter mounting member 14.

[0029] Preferably, bushings 15 are installed on the outer periphery of the upper and lower sides of the base 4, and the bushings 15 are arranged between the base 4 and the shell 5. In this way, the shell 5 can rotate relatively smoothly relative to the base 4, so as to facilitate the control of the temperature of the water outlet of the water channel.

[0030] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a water outlet device, including the faucet structure as described above.

[0031] The water outlet device adjusts the water outlet temperature of the water circuit by rotating the outer shell 5, and controls the water outlet switch and water outlet flow of the water circuit by moving the handle rod 7 up and down. When using a conventional valve core 2, the two functions are separated to avoid mutual influence between the two functions, thereby making it more convenient for users to use and improving the user experience.

[0032] The above description is only the preferred implementation of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
