[0024] To facilitate the understanding of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are given in the drawings. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the understanding of the disclosure content of the present utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can also be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. In addition, the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. These three situations.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments. For example, terms such as "inside", "outside", "left", "right" and similar expressions are only for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , which is a schematic diagram of the bathtub faucet 100 of the present utility model. The bathtub faucet 100 includes a shunt main body seat 20, a support pipe 30 connected to the bottom end of the shunt main body seat 20, a top spray shower head 40 communicated with the top end of the shunt main body seat 20, a hand-held shower assembly 50 communicated with the shunt main body seat 20, a cold and hot water mixing valve 60 and a water distribution valve 70 installed on the shunt main body seat 20, and a cold water pipe 31 and a hot water pipe 32 passing through the inside of the support pipe 30. The cold water pipe 31 and the hot water pipe 32 are connected to the shunt main body seat 20. The cold and hot water mixing valve 60 can switch and control the communication state between the cold water pipe 31, the hot water pipe 32 and the inside of the shunt main body seat 20. The water distribution valve 70 can switch the communication state between the inside of the shunt main body seat 20 and the top spray shower 40 and the hand-held shower assembly 50.

[0028] Further, the flow splitting main body seat 20, the overhead shower head 40, and the support pipe 30 can be made of at least one of zinc alloy and aluminum alloy. The surfaces of zinc alloy and aluminum alloy have good surface finish and luster, with better texture and aesthetics. Among them, the overhead shower head 40 is integrally arranged in an arc-shaped bending shape. Using zinc alloy or aluminum alloy can avoid using copper material because copper material contains lead element, which will release trace amounts of lead into the water, and lead is harmful to humans.

[0029] Further, a base bracket 31 is installed at the bottom of the support pipe 30. The mounting bracket 33 is a tripod, so that the support pipe 30 can be firmly installed on the floor through the mounting bracket 33. To improve the aesthetics after installation, a base decorative cover 34 is also installed at the bottom of the support pipe 30. The base decorative cover 34 is located above the base bracket 31 and can cover the base bracket 31 to make it not exposed. To ensure that the base bracket 31 is installed conveniently and stably, three expansion screws 35 are installed on the base bracket 31.

[0030] Further, a bubbler head 41 is installed at one end of the overhead shower head 40 away from the flow splitting main body seat 20. The setting of the bubbler head 41 can make the water flow out more comfortably.

[0031] Further, the handheld shower assembly 50 includes a connecting pipe 51 communicating with the flow splitting main body seat 20 and a handheld shower head 52 communicating with the connecting pipe 51. The connecting pipe 51 can be a stainless steel braided pipe, which is convenient to bend during use. There are many spray holes 54 arranged in a preset pattern on the handheld shower head 52. To ensure that the water flow entering the handheld shower head 52 does not flow back, a constant flow check valve 55 is installed inside the end of the handheld shower head 52 close to the connecting pipe 51.

[0032] Further, a shower seat 21 communicating with the flow splitting main body seat 20 is installed on the flow splitting main body seat 20. A clamping port 22 is opened at one end of the shower seat 21 away from the flow splitting main body seat 20. The clamping port 22 is used in cooperation with the handheld shower head 52, and the handheld shower head 52 can be placed on the shower seat 21 through the clamping port 22. To facilitate the installation and connection of the connecting pipe 51, a transfer interface 23 communicating with the inside of the flow splitting main body seat 20 is installed on the shower seat 21, and the connecting pipe 51 is connected to the connecting port 23. The transfer interface 23 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 51. To ensure that the water flow does not flow back, a check valve 24 is installed inside the connecting port 23.

[0033] Further, a mixing valve handle 61 is installed on the cold and hot water mixing valve 60, which makes the operation labor-saving and convenient. A ceramic valve core 63 is arranged inside the cold and hot water mixing valve 60. A diverter valve handle 71 is installed on the diverter valve 70, which makes the operation labor-saving and convenient. There is a diverter valve core 72 inside the diverter valve 70.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the cold water pipe 31 and the hot water pipe 32 are stainless steel braided pipes. The cold water pipe 31 and the hot water pipe 32 are connected to the internal thread of the flow splitting main body seat 20, and the other ends of the cold water pipe 31 and the hot water pipe 32 are connected to the external water pipes by threads.

[0035] For the above bathtub faucet 100, the overhead shower head 40, the hand-held shower assembly 50, the cold water pipe 31, and the hot water pipe 32 are all communicated with the flow splitting main body seat 20. The communication state between the cold water pipe 31, the hot water pipe 32 and the inside of the flow splitting main body seat 20 and the cold and hot water mixing ratio can be switched and controlled through the cold and hot water mixing valve 60. The water distribution valve 70 can switch the communication state between the inside of the flow splitting main body seat 20 and the overhead shower head 40 and the hand-held shower assembly 50. This bathtub faucet 100 can solve the problem that only a pair of cold and hot water pipes are configured in the shower area of a general bathroom, and there is not enough water pipe to distribute when an additional shower head is needed. It can be assembled and used with the shower head and is very convenient to use.

[0036] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0037] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
