Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a color-changing pull-out vegetable basin faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A sink faucet is an integrated faucet that combines a regular faucet with a sink, installed on top of the sink for easy use in the kitchen. There are many types of sink faucets available today. To make them even more convenient to use, a stainless steel braided flexible hose is added between the faucet and the sink body, giving the traditional sink faucet a pull-out function, expanding its usable area in the kitchen and enhancing its practicality.

[0003] Most existing sink faucets are connected to water heaters and can control the release of hot and cold water via valves. While most sink faucets have a rotating function to spray water into different sinks, they generally lack a temperature-sensitive function. When the faucet is rotated, it's difficult for the user to discern the direction of rotation. If the user wants hot water, the incorrect rotation might result in cold water being released. In winter, this could cause discomfort when washing up with cold water. Therefore, most existing sink faucets suffer from the problem of difficulty in distinguishing between hot and cold water. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a color-changing pull-out kitchen sink faucet, solving the technical problem that it is difficult to distinguish between hot and cold water release in existing kitchen sink faucets.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A color-changing pull-out kitchen sink faucet includes a kitchen sink body and a water inlet pipe. It includes a fixed base, which is fixedly connected to the kitchen sink body and to the water outlet of the water inlet pipe. A main control valve is rotatably connected to the end of the fixed base away from the water inlet pipe. A main flow pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the main control valve away from the fixed base. A first water outlet mechanism and a second water outlet mechanism are fixedly connected to the main flow pipe. The first water outlet mechanism includes a pull-out pipe, and the second water outlet mechanism includes a guide branch pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a first permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the main pipe away from the main control valve, an atomizing shower head is fixedly connected to the end of the pull-out pipe away from the main pipe, and a second permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the connection between the atomizing shower head and the pull-out pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the pull tube is slidably connected to the inside of the main tube, and one end of the pull tube located inside the main tube is fixedly connected to the main tube, and the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet are compatible.

[0011] Preferred configuration: The flow guide pipe is fixedly connected to the main flow pipe, and a water outlet nozzle is fixedly connected to the end of the flow guide pipe away from the main flow pipe. A squeeze cap is threadedly connected to the end of the water outlet nozzle away from the flow guide pipe. A knob is fixedly connected to the axis of the squeeze cap. A certain gap is left between the squeeze cap and the water outlet nozzle, and a filter element is placed in the gap.

[0012] Preferably, a first auxiliary valve is fixedly installed on the section of the main flow pipe near the first permanent magnet, and a second auxiliary valve is fixedly installed on the middle section of the guide branch pipe.

[0013] Preferred: The main control valve is made of metal, and the surface of the main flow pipe is coated with a layer of reversible thermochromic ink, and the surface of the reversible thermochromic ink is covered with a layer of transparent acrylic.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] I. This application, by setting a main flow pipe and spraying a layer of reversible thermochromic ink on the surface of the main flow pipe, the reversible thermochromic ink senses the temperature change of the main flow pipe and changes color with the temperature change. The transparent acrylic layer plays the role of sealing and isolating the reversible thermochromic ink. When the user needs colder or hotter water, he can observe the color change of the reversible thermochromic ink to avoid putting in the wrong water, thus solving the problem of the existing kitchen sink faucet's hot and cold water release being difficult to distinguish.

[0016] Second, this application, by setting a first water outlet and a second water outlet, with the second water outlet threadedly connected to a squeeze cap and a filter element placed inside, enables this application to have three different water outlet states: rapid flow, atomization, and slow-flow filtration, thus making this application highly practical.

[0024] This application provides a color-changing pull-out kitchen sink faucet, which effectively solves the problem that it is not easy to distinguish between hot and cold water release in existing kitchen sink faucets.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem that it is difficult to distinguish between hot and cold water releases in existing kitchen sink faucets. The overall idea is as follows:

[0026] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a color-changing pull-out vegetable basin faucet, including a vegetable basin body 1 and a water inlet pipe 101, including a fixing seat 2, which is fixedly connected to the vegetable basin body 1 and fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 101. A main control valve 3 is rotatably connected to the end of the fixing seat 2 away from the water inlet pipe 101, and a main flow pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the end of the main control valve 3 away from the fixing seat 2. A first water outlet mechanism and a second water outlet mechanism are fixedly connected to the main flow pipe 301. The first water outlet mechanism includes a pull-out pipe 303, and the second water outlet mechanism includes a guide branch pipe 5.

[0027] A first permanent magnet 302 is fixedly connected to the end of the main pipe 301 away from the main control valve 3, and an atomizing shower head 304 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull pipe 303 away from the main pipe 301. A second permanent magnet 305 is fixedly connected to the connection between the atomizing shower head 304 and the pull pipe 303.

[0028] The pull tube 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the main tube 301, and one end of the pull tube 303 located inside the main tube 301 is fixedly connected to the main tube 301. The first permanent magnet 302 and the second permanent magnet 305 are adapted to each other.

[0029] The flow guide pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the main flow pipe 301. A water outlet nozzle 502 is fixedly connected to the end of the flow guide pipe 5 away from the main flow pipe 301. A squeeze cap 503 is threadedly connected to the end of the water outlet nozzle 502 away from the flow guide pipe 5. A knob 504 is fixedly connected to the axis of the squeeze cap 503. A certain gap is left between the squeeze cap 503 and the water outlet nozzle 502, and a filter element 505 is placed in the gap.

[0030] A first auxiliary valve 4 is fixedly installed on a section of the main flow pipe 301 near the first permanent magnet 302, and a second auxiliary valve 501 is fixedly installed in the middle section of the diversion branch pipe 5.

[0031] The main control valve 3 is made of metal, and the surface of the main flow pipe 301 is coated with a layer of reversible thermochromic ink 306, and the surface of the reversible thermochromic ink 306 is covered with a layer of transparent acrylic layer 307.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] First, the water inlet pipe 101 is connected to the water heater. When the user of this application needs a strong water flow, the main control valve 3 can be turned so that the second water outlet faces the sink body 1. The squeeze cap 503 is removed from the water outlet nozzle 502 by the knob 504, and the filter element 505 is removed. At this time, the first auxiliary valve 4 is adjusted to the closed state, and the second auxiliary valve 501 is adjusted to the open state. Then, the valve of the main control valve 3 is turned, and the water flows out from the inside of the main control valve 3 and is guided through the main pipe 301 to the guide pipe 5, and finally sprayed out from the water outlet nozzle 502. At this time, the water flow is unobstructed and can release the water flow with the maximum impact force.

[0034] The second step is that when the user needs a cleaner water flow, the filter element 505 and the squeeze cap 503 can be installed in the water outlet nozzle 502. At this time, the water sprayed from the water outlet nozzle 502 is simply filtered by the filter element 505 to obtain a cleaner water flow.

[0035] Third, when the user needs to use the atomizing shower head 304, the second auxiliary valve 501 can be adjusted to the closed state and the first auxiliary valve 4 can be adjusted to the open state. At this time, the main flow pipe 301 can lead the water flow from the main control valve 3 to the pull pipe 303. Finally, the water flow can be atomized and sprayed out through the atomizing shower head 304, which can be used to clean objects. The pull pipe 303 can be pulled so that the atomizing shower head 304 can be pointed to any position inside any sink body 1, so that the water flow comes into close contact with the object being washed, preventing water from splashing out of the sink body 1.

[0036] Fourth, the main control valve 3 can control whether the water flowing to the main flow pipe 301 is hot or cold. This is because the surface of the main flow pipe 301 is coated with reversible thermochromic ink 306. The reversible thermochromic ink 306 senses the temperature change of the main flow pipe 301 and changes color accordingly. The transparent acrylic layer 307 acts as a seal and isolates the reversible thermochromic ink 306. When the user needs colder or hotter water, they can observe the color change of the reversible thermochromic ink 306 to avoid putting the wrong water in.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
