[0029] Referring to the drawings of the specification, an engine structure includes a body, wherein the body includes a water inlet body 10, a mixing body 20 and a water outlet body 30. These three bodies form the basic structure of a faucet and can realize the function of adjustable temperature. At the same time, the water outlet body has three water outlet ends, which are distributed to realize the shower function, the top spray function and the side spray function (or the second top spray function). The water inlet body and the water outlet body are arranged side by side front and back, the water inlet body is arranged on the rear side of the water outlet body, and the mixing body is located on one side of the body. A cold water channel 11 and a hot water channel 12 are arranged in the water inlet body, and the water outlets of the cold water channel and the hot water channel are plugged and matched with the two water inlets of the mixing body to realize the circulation of water flow. A thermostatic valve 21 is arranged in the mixing body, and the water outlet end of the mixing body is plugged and matched with the water outlet body. The cold water channel and the hot water channel are connected by the thermostatic valve. The water flows inside are mixed and then pass through the water outlet body. Three parallel water passage chambers 31 are arranged on the water outlet body. The water inlet end of the water passage chamber can be connected with the water passage 34 of the water outlet body. A switch valve 32 or a first plug 33 is arranged in the water passage chamber. The first plug can isolate and disconnect the water inlet end of the corresponding water passage chamber from the water passage. The water flow in the water passage chamber can flow to its corresponding water outlet through the switch valve. In other words, the functional water that is not suitable for the faucet product is blocked by the first plug, and the function that needs to be used adopts the switch valve. The switch valve can control whether the water in the water passage flows out from the corresponding water outlet, and the first plug directly separates the water passage chamber of the function from the water passage, and no water is passed. The use of this structure can realize any combination of the three functions corresponding to the three water passage chambers, and implement the requirements of using products with different functions with one engine structure.
[0030] In one use of the utility model, the water inlet body, the water outlet body and the mixing body can be integrally formed, that is, they are a whole when manufactured, or they can be separated and assembled by plugging and the like, and finally form a component.
[0031] Furthermore, the water outlet end of the water outlet body located on the other side of the body can be connected to the water channel, and the water outlet end of the water outlet body can be plugged into and matched with the water inlet end of the first body 40 or the second plug 41, and the first body is used for the extended lower water outlet function; when the second plug is connected to the water outlet body, the body can achieve water outlet with up to three functions, that is, a normal faucet product; when the first body is connected to the water outlet body, the function of another product is added, and a switch valve 42 is provided in the water outlet body, so that the body can achieve water outlet with up to four functions.
[0032] In a specific use, the water outlet end of the first body can discharge water for the lower water outlet function, and the water outlet end of the water outlet body along the water flow direction in the water channel can discharge water for the side spray function, the top spray function and the shower function respectively. If each function is blocked with a plug (the lower water outlet function directly omits the first body), the water consumption of this function can be reduced.
[0033] Furthermore, the water outlet direction of the first body water outlet end 43 is downward, the water outlet directions of the side spray function water outlet end 35 and the top spray function water outlet end 36 of the water outlet body are backward, and the water outlet direction of the shower function water outlet end 37 of the water outlet body is downward. In this state, the installation method of the side spray and the top spray can be a concealed installation method, that is, the water discharged from these two water outlets goes inside the wall, and the pipes are pre-buried.
[0034] Preferably, it also includes a water outlet connector 50, which has two water inlet ends. The two water inlet ends of the water outlet connector can be plugged and matched with the water outlet ends of the side spray function and the top spray function of the water outlet body. In order to realize the functions of the faucet being able to be installed openly or concealed, the water outlet connector has two water outlet ends, and the water outlet direction of the two water outlet ends 51 of the water outlet connector is upward, so that the two water outlet ends of the water outlet connector can be directly connected to the water pipe outside the wall. Of course, the water pipe is sleeved with a rod on the periphery of the water pipe. The setting of the water pipe and the rod is a prior art and will not be elaborated again. In this way, the requirements of the faucet product for open installation and concealed installation of the upper water outlet are realized. For details, the differences between the reference embodiment 1 and the embodiment 7 and other embodiments can be compared.
[0035] Furthermore, the water inlet body also includes a drainage outlet 13, and the drainage outlet can be connected to the cold water channel. A third plug 14 or a functional component 60 is provided at the drainage outlet. The functional component enables the faucet to complete the function of draining cold water. This function can mainly realize the discharge of reserved cold water so that it can reach the preset temperature when it is turned on next time. This function is also a prior art and will not be elaborated in detail again. The functional component includes a water inlet end that can be plugged into the drainage outlet, the functional component includes a water outlet end with an opening facing downward, and the functional component also includes a matching solenoid valve 62 and a temperature sensor (not drawn in the figure). The temperature sensor is arranged at the water outlet end of the thermostatic valve. For details, please refer to Example 7.
[0036] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the utility model concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field. The changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and should be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
