[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A preferred embodiment of a faucet water outlet structure, the faucet water outlet structure includes a faucet body 100, a valve seat 200, a valve core 300, and a solenoid valve 400.

[0035] The faucet body 100 is provided with a cold water inlet channel 110, a hot water inlet channel 120, a first water passage channel 130, a second water passage channel 140, and a water outlet channel 150.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the faucet body 100 has a four-way structure, but a three-way structure can also be selected as needed, without limitation.

[0037] The valve seat 200 is installed inside the faucet body 100 and has a cold inlet, a hot inlet, a first mixing outlet 210, a second mixing outlet 220 and a total outlet 230. The cold inlet is connected to the cold water inlet channel 110 and the hot inlet is connected to the hot water inlet channel 120. The first water passage 130 is connected to the first mixing outlet 210 and the total outlet 230 is connected to the second water passage 140, the second mixing outlet 220 and the outlet channel 230.

[0038] In this embodiment, the valve seat 200 is further provided with a cold water inlet adapter 240 connected to the cold inlet, a hot water inlet adapter 250 connected to the hot inlet, a first mixing adapter 260 connected to the first mixing outlet 210, and a second mixing adapter 270 connected to the second mixing outlet 220. The total outlet 230 is located at the top of the valve seat 200. The cold water inlet adapter 240, the hot water inlet adapter 250, the first mixing outlet 210, and the second mixing outlet 220 are all located on the side of the valve body 200. The cold inlet, the hot inlet, the first mixing adapter 260, and the second mixing adapter 270 are all located on the bottom surface of the valve body 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cold water inlet adapter 240 and the hot water inlet adapter 250 are located above the first mixed outlet 210, and the second mixed outlet 220 is located below the first mixed outlet 210. The cold inlet and the hot inlet are arranged side by side, and the first mixed adapter 260 and the second mixed adapter 270 are arranged side by side.

[0040] The valve core 300 is installed in the faucet body 100 and is used to switch the water outlet of the first mixed outlet 210 and the second mixed outlet 220. The valve core structure of the present application has the functions of opening and closing, temperature adjustment, and switching. It is provided with a valve core cold inlet, a valve core hot inlet, and a water distribution port. The valve core cold inlet corresponds to the cold water inlet adapter 240, the valve core hot inlet corresponds to the hot water inlet adapter 250, and the water distribution port is used to switch the connection of the first mixed outlet 210 and the second mixed outlet 220. This part is prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0041] The electromagnetic valve 400 is installed between the first water passage 130 and the second water passage 140 and is used to control the opening and closing of the first water passage 130 and the second water passage 140. As shown in the figure, the electromagnetic valve 400 includes an electromagnetic valve shell 410 and an electromagnetic valve body 420. The electromagnetic valve shell 410 is provided with a water inlet flow channel 411 and a water outlet flow channel 412. The first water passage 130 is connected with the water inlet flow channel 411, and the water outlet flow channel 412 is connected with the second water passage 140. The electromagnetic valve body 420 is installed on the electromagnetic valve shell 410 and controls the opening and closing of the water inlet flow channel 411 and the water outlet flow channel 412. Figure 4

[0042] In this embodiment, the inlet of the water inlet flow channel 411 and the outlet of the water outlet flow channel 412 are respectively arranged at the top end and the bottom end of the electromagnetic valve shell 410, and the electromagnetic valve body 420 is located between the water inlet flow channel 411 and the water outlet flow channel 412.

[0043] In this embodiment, the faucet water outlet structure further includes a switching handle 500 installed on the faucet body 100 and connected with the valve shaft of the valve core 300. The faucet water outlet structure further includes an elbow pipe 600 installed on the faucet body 100, and the inside of the elbow pipe 600 is the water outlet passage 150. The faucet water outlet structure further includes a mounting nut assembly 700 which cooperates with the faucet body 100 to fix the faucet body 100 on the countertop.

[0044] When the valve core 300 controls the water outlet of the first mixed outlet 210, the second mixed outlet 220 does not have water outlet. At this time, the opening and closing of the water outlet passage 150 can be controlled by the electromagnetic valve 400:

[0045] ​If the electromagnetic valve 400 controls the first water passage 130 and the second water passage 140 to be connected, that is, the water inlet flow channel 411 and the water outlet flow channel 412 are connected, cold water enters the valve core 300 from the cold inlet of the valve seat 200 and the cold water inlet adapter 240, hot water enters the valve core 300 from the hot inlet of the valve seat 200 and the hot water inlet adapter 250, and after mixing in the valve core 300, the mixed water flows out of the valve seat 200 from the first mixed outlet 210 and the first mixed adapter 260, enters the water inlet flow channel 411 of the electromagnetic valve shell 410 through the first water passage 130, and then flows through the water outlet flow channel 412, the second water passage 140, and finally flows out of the outlet 150 through the second mixed adapter 270 and the total outlet 230.

[0046] If the electromagnetic valve 400 controls the first water passage 130 and the second water passage 140 to be disconnected, that is, the water inlet flow channel 411 and the water outlet flow channel 412 are disconnected, at this time, the outlet 150 does not output water.

[0047] When the valve core 300 controls the second mixed outlet 220 to output water, the first mixed outlet 210 does not output water, at this time, the electromagnetic valve 400 does not work: the cold water and the hot water are mixed in the valve core 300 and directly enter the total outlet 230 from the second mixed outlet 220, and then flow out of the outlet 150.

[0048] The faucet water outlet structure can not only realize independent control of the valve core 300 and the electromagnetic valve 400 to turn on and off the water of the faucet, but also can output mixed water, and the water temperature can be adjusted as needed. Meanwhile, the structure is designed by skillfully designing the waterway structure of the valve seat 200 without additional structures, so the cost is low, and the entire faucet is small and beautiful in appearance.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 for a second embodiment of a faucet water outlet structure. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is the structure of the electromagnetic valve shell.

[0050] In this embodiment, the inlet of the water inlet flow channel 411 and the outlet of the water outlet flow channel 412 are arranged side by side at the top end of the electromagnetic valve shell 410, the electromagnetic valve shell 410 further comprises a connecting cavity 413 communicating the water inlet flow channel 411 and the water outlet flow channel 412, and the electromagnetic valve body 420 is located at the water inlet flow channel 411.

[0051] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and therefore cannot limit the scope of the present application, that is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present application and the content of the specification should still be within the scope of the present application.
