Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of faucet switches, and particularly relates to a control switch for a faucet. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their expectations for household items are also increasing. This is especially true in frequently used water spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. As an indispensable part of daily life, faucets' design not only impacts ease of use but also directly impacts the efficient use of water resources and the overall aesthetics of the home environment. Traditionally, many faucets use toggle switches to control the opening and closing of water flow and adjust the flow rate. This type of switch typically controls water flow by directly acting on a valve assembly through a handle or lever. While toggle switches are widely used due to their simple structure and low cost, some of their inherent drawbacks have gradually become apparent over time and with technological advancements.

[0003] 1. Easy to damage: Frequent pulling and tugging can easily lead to increased wear of internal mechanical parts, especially the sealing materials at the joints are more prone to aging and failure, thus causing water leakage problems.

[0004] 2. Difficult maintenance: Once a fault occurs, the repair process of the toggle switch is relatively complicated, and professionals may need to disassemble the entire faucet for inspection and repair.

[0005] Therefore, based on some of the above situations in the prior art, this application has been further designed and improved. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5A control switch for a faucet includes a connecting portion 10 and a control portion 20. The connecting portion 10 is connected to the faucet, and the control portion 20 has a water outlet at its bottom. A control chamber 11 is provided within the connecting portion 10, and the water outlet is connected to the bottom of the control chamber 11. A first opening and closing piece 12 and a second opening and closing piece 14 are arranged vertically within the control chamber 11. The first opening and closing piece 12 is fixedly mounted to the connecting portion 10, and the second opening and closing piece 14 is fixedly mounted to the control portion 20. A first connecting groove 13 is provided on the first opening and closing piece 12, and a second connecting groove 15 is provided on the second opening and closing piece 14. Turning the control portion 20 so that the first connecting groove 13 and the second connecting groove 15 are aligned turns the control switch on; turning the control portion 20 so that the first connecting groove 13 and the second connecting groove 15 are completely offset turns the control switch off. This design has a compact overall structure and replaces traditional toggle switches, allowing users to turn water flow on and off with a simple twist, making operation more intuitive and maintenance more convenient.

[0026] To further enhance the durability and reliability of the control switch, both the first and second opening and closing pieces 12, 14 are made of high-quality, wear-resistant ceramic material with high hardness. This material not only resists erosion caused by long-term water impact but also effectively prevents clogging caused by scale deposits, significantly extending the product's service life. Furthermore, due to the excellent chemical stability of ceramic materials, they maintain stable operation for extended periods even in environments containing corrosive substances (such as calcium and magnesium ions, which are common in hard water), ensuring safety and durability for users.

[0027] In the present application, the control part 20 includes a twisting sleeve 21 and a sealing cylinder 22, and the side of the connecting part 10 is wrapped in the twisting sleeve 21. The water outlet is located at the bottom of the sealing cylinder 22, and the sealing cylinder 22 extends into the control chamber 11. The second opening and closing piece 14 is fixedly connected to the sealing cylinder 22. Such a design not only simplifies the overall structure, but also enhances the aesthetics of the faucet. A convex portion for assembling the sealing cylinder 22 is provided in the middle of the twisting sleeve 21. One end of the sealing cylinder 22 with a water outlet extends from the convex portion and is equipped with a fixing part 23 at the end. This design facilitates maintenance and disassembly.

[0028] To ensure the sealing performance of the faucet, the side of the sealing cylinder 22 is equipped with several first sealing rings 24. The outer sides of the first sealing rings 24 are in sealing contact with the connecting portion 10 or the protrusion. These sealing rings can fit tightly on the connecting portion 10 or the protrusion, thereby forming a good waterproof effect, avoiding the occurrence of water leakage and ensuring safety of use. The sealing cylinder 22 is equipped with a second sealing ring 25. The upper side of the second sealing ring 25 is in contact with the sealing cylinder 22, and the lower side is in contact with the bottom surface of the control chamber 11. This design further strengthens the sealing performance of the entire system and reduces the possibility of water leakage. This design not only facilitates the quick and accurate installation of the control switch on the faucet, but also significantly improves the sealing effect of the connection, preventing dripping. The connecting portion 10 is provided with a screw groove for connecting to the faucet. The bottom of the screw groove is provided with a sealing gasket 16. The upper and lower end surfaces of the sealing gasket 16 are provided with sealing lines. This design can further strengthen the sealing effect between the faucet and the connecting portion 10.

[0029] In addition, a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the second opening and closing piece 14, and a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the sealing cylinder 22. When disassembling, the user can remove the sealing gasket 16 and the fixing member 23 to disassemble all parts, which is convenient for maintenance and disassembly.

[0030] In addition, the bottom of the twisting sleeve 21 may be equipped with a defoamer to effectively remove bubbles that may be generated in the fluid.

[0031] It should be noted that the control switch described in this application is highly adaptable and flexible, compatible with a wide variety of faucets and plumbing fixtures. Whether it's a single-handle mixer tap in the kitchen, a two-handle split faucet in the bathroom, or a portable hose showerhead for outdoor use, the control switch provides stable and reliable water flow regulation.

[0032] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention is based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
