Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-way valves, and in particular to a multifunctional three-way valve for connecting a kitchen garbage disposer. Background Art
[0002] A three-way valve refers to a valve device with three ports, one inlet and two outlets. The three-way valve is divided into a converging valve and a diverting valve according to the fluid action mode. The converging valve has two inlets, and flows out from one outlet after converging; on the contrary, the diverting valve has one fluid inlet, and flows out from two fluid outlets after diversion. At present, the use of kitchen garbage disposers is becoming more and more popular. However, there is usually only one water outlet under the kitchen sink, and the water outlet needs to be used to connect faucets and other equipment. Therefore, when the kitchen garbage disposer is installed, a three-way valve needs to be installed for switching. However, the existing three-way valve is generally only used as a mixing or diverting device, but it is troublesome to install and has relatively single functions. It is impossible to control the opening and closing of one of the passages alone, resulting in mutual influence between different waterways; in addition, due to the siphon effect, the sewage in the kitchen garbage disposer may also enter the water inlet channel to cause water pollution.

[0006] Furthermore, the water outlet port of the second water outlet channel is provided with a quick connector to facilitate quick connection with a kitchen garbage disposer.
[0007] Furthermore, the flow valve includes a driving end and an adjusting end, the adjusting end is provided with a water groove and a water baffle, and the driving end is suitable for driving the adjusting end to rotate to control the area of the water baffle blocking the water inlet of the second water outlet channel, thereby adjusting the water flow rate that can enter the second water outlet channel through the water groove through the water inlet channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the water baffle is suitable for being adjusted to completely block the second water outlet channel so that the second water outlet channel is disconnected, thereby forming a backflow prevention effect.
[0009] Furthermore, the driving end is provided with a cross groove to facilitate driving the flow valve to rotate.
[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided on the flow valve to prevent water leakage.
[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0017] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present embodiment provides a multifunctional three-way valve for connecting a kitchen garbage disposer, comprising a main body, on which is provided a water inlet channel 1, a first water outlet channel 2 and a second water outlet channel 3, wherein the first water outlet channel 2 is suitable for connecting a faucet device, and the second water outlet channel 3 is suitable for connecting a kitchen garbage disposer, and a non-return one-way valve 4 is provided on the water inlet channel 1 to prevent contamination of the kitchen garbage disposer from entering the water inlet channel 1 due to a siphon effect; the second water outlet channel 3 is provided with a solenoid valve 6 suitable for being electrically connected to the kitchen garbage disposer for controlling the on-off of the second water outlet channel 3, and when the kitchen garbage disposer is started, the solenoid valve 6 controls the second water outlet channel 3 to be opened, and when the kitchen garbage disposer is turned off, the solenoid valve 6 controls the second water outlet channel 3 to be disconnected; at the same time, a flow valve 5 is provided on the second water outlet channel 3 for controlling the water flow to the kitchen garbage disposer.
[0018] Combination Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the three-way valve is T-shaped, and the flow valve 5 is arranged at the confluence of the water inlet channel 1 and the first water outlet channel 2 and the second water outlet channel 3. Specifically, the flow valve 5 includes a driving end 51 and an adjusting end. The adjusting end is provided with a water trough 53 and a water baffle 52. The driving end 51 is suitable for driving the adjusting end to rotate to control the area of the water baffle 52 blocking the water inlet of the second water outlet channel 3, thereby adjusting the water flow rate that the water inlet channel 1 can enter the second water outlet channel 3 through the water trough 53. The driving end 51 is provided with a cross groove to facilitate driving the flow valve 5 to rotate through a screwdriver device. Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the flow valve 5 to prevent water leakage. Here, the production cost of the equipment can be reduced by manual adjustment.
