Detailed Implementation

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0025] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this patent. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a three-way faucet, including a connecting component 10 and a water outlet component 20. The connecting component 10 includes a first pipe 11 and a second pipe 12 that cross and communicate with each other. The water outlet component 20 includes a main water outlet pipe 21 and a pair of branch water outlet pipes 22. It also includes a rotating component 60, which is disposed inside the second pipe 12 and is rotatably and sealingly connected to the cavity of the second pipe 12.

[0027] The main water outlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed at the first end of the first pipe 11, and a pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating member that pass through the second pipe 12. The pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 can switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 protrude from the plane formed by the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12. In the second state, the pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 do not protrude from the plane formed by the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 12.

[0028] In this embodiment, in the first state, a pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 are in a horizontal state; in the second state, a pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 are in a vertical state, that is, a pair of water outlet branch pipes on both sides in front of the three-way faucet can be vertically retracted against the main water outlet pipe 22 to avoid occupying the operating space of the pool, making the operator's operating space more spacious and not hindering the operator in the laboratory from performing operations.

[0029] In some embodiments, the rotating member 60 is provided with a mating part, and the second pipe 12 is provided with a rotation limiting part; the water outlet branch pipe 22 can rotate along a first direction to a first position where the mating part mates with the rotation limiting part, so as to limit the water outlet branch pipe 22 in the first state; and the water outlet branch pipe 22 can rotate along a second direction to a second position where the mating part mates with the rotation limiting part, so as to limit the water outlet branch pipe 22 in the second state; one of the first direction and the second direction is a clockwise direction, and the other of the first direction and the second direction is a counterclockwise direction.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mating part is a limiting screw 90 disposed on the rotating member 60, and the rotation limiting part is a limiting groove 91 disposed on the pipe wall of the second pipe. The limiting groove 91 extends circumferentially along the second pipe and is configured as an arc shape; the limiting screw 90 passes through the limiting groove 91. The limiting screw 90 is mounted on the rotating member 60, while the arc-shaped groove is disposed on the outer circumferential side of the second pipe. When the rotating member 60 rotates about its axis, the limiting screw 90 moves within the limiting groove 91. Because the limiting groove 91 has a certain curvature and length limitation, the limiting screw 90 can only move within the range specified by the arc-shaped limiting groove 91, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the rotating member 60, so that a pair of water outlet branch pipes can only switch between horizontal and vertical states; when the faucet is not in use, the operating space in front of the sink can be vertically retracted.

[0031] In some embodiments, a valve port 13 is formed between the second end of the first tube 11 and the second tube 12. The rotating member 60 can rotate to the first state to open the valve port 13; the rotating member 60 can rotate to the second state to close the valve port 13.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the rotating component 60 is rod-shaped, and an axially penetrating channel 61 is provided inside the rotating component 60, which communicates with the water outlet branch pipe 22. A radially penetrating first through hole 63 and a second through hole 62 are provided on the rod section of the rotating component inside the first pipe. In the first state, the first through hole 63 connects to the valve port 13 and the channel 61, and the second through hole 62 connects to the channel 61 and the main water outlet pipe 21. In the second state, neither the first through hole 63 nor the second through hole 62 communicates with the valve port 13. The switching between the first and second states of the pair of water outlet branch pipes also serves to shut off the faucet, preventing accidental opening of the faucet valve when the pair of water outlet branch pipes 22 on both horizontal sides in front of the three-way faucet are vertically retracted against the main water outlet pipe 22.

[0033] In some embodiments, the rotating member 60 has a plurality of annular grooves on the rod segment inside the second tube 12, and the plurality of annular grooves are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating member 60; a first sealing member 70 is provided in the annular groove, and the first sealing member 70 is used to seal the gap between the rotating member and the second tube 12. The first sealing member 70 is made of an elastic material, and the inner wall of the second tube and the annular grooves apply pressure to the first sealing member 70. The first sealing member 70 undergoes elastic deformation under force, reducing the risk of water flowing out from the gap between the inner wall of the first tube and the circumferential sidewall of the rotating member 60.

[0034] In some embodiments, the device further includes a bend connector 30, wherein the end of the rotating member is a threaded rod portion 64 with external threads, the inner hole of the bend connector 30 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external threads, the first end of the bend connector 30 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the second end of the bend connector 30 is connected to the outlet branch pipe 22. The diameter of the threaded rod portion 64 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating member 60, and a stepped surface is formed between the rotating member 60 and the threaded rod portion, and the first end of the bend connector 30 abuts against the stepped surface.

[0035] In some embodiments, a second seal 80 is provided between the stepped surface and the bend joint 30, the second seal 80 being used to seal the gap between the rotating member 60 and the bend joint 30. The second seal 80 is made of an elastic material, and the second seal 80 reduces the risk of water flowing out from the gap between the rotating member 60 and the bend joint 30.

[0036] In some embodiments, the three-way faucet further includes a concealing cover 40. A gap exists between the elbow joint 30 and the end face of the first pipe. The concealing cover is fitted onto the rotating member 60 and located between the elbow joint 30 and the end face of the first pipe 11. The concealing cover 40 is made of plastic. In this embodiment, because there is a gap between the elbow joint 30 and the end face of the first pipe, the concealing cover can completely cover the gap, making the faucet installation area look neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0037] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
