Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing faucets rely on simple valve switches or single on / off devices to control water flow, lacking flexibility and functionality. For example, when changing the water flow direction or switching between different flow modes, users often need to manually operate multiple switches, increasing operational difficulty and time costs. Furthermore, they fail to meet diverse user needs during water flow switching, especially in confined spaces, where achieving flexible and efficient water flow switching remains a significant challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional faucet, which aims to solve the limitations of existing faucets when switching water outlets, especially in kitchens or bathrooms with limited space, and to provide a more flexible and adjustable way of use while ensuring water outlet function.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] This application provides a multifunctional faucet, including a faucet body, a mounting bracket, a pull-out faucet, and a water outlet panel; the mounting bracket has a connecting end disposed on the faucet body and a clamping end extending horizontally; the pull-out faucet is flexibly connected to the faucet body and has at least one usage state of being placed at the clamping end; the water outlet panel is rotatably disposed at the clamping end and is arranged to avoid contact with the pull-out faucet; the water outlet panel does not dispense water when retracted into the mounting bracket, and dispenses water after relative rotation, and the pull-out faucet and the water outlet panel dispense water at opposite angles.

[0006] As a further improvement, when the water outlet panel is in the retracted state, the pull-out faucet dispenses water; when the water outlet panel is in the rotating state, the pull-out faucet stops dispensing water, and the water outlet panel dispenses water accordingly.

[0007] As a further improvement, the faucet body outputs faucet water to the pull-out faucet through a flexible hose, and the faucet body outputs panel water through the mounting bracket, and the water outlet panel is connected to the water passage in the mounting bracket.

[0008] As a further improvement, the water outlet panel is provided with a rotating shaft portion, which is pivotally connected to the clamping end, and the water outlet panel is located on the lower end side of the mounting bracket.

[0009] As a further improvement, a water-stopping component is provided on the water channel of the mounting bracket, and a corresponding insertion interface is provided on the rotating shaft to align and connect with the water-stopping component; when the water outlet panel is switched to the retracted state, the water-stopping component is pushed horizontally in the forward direction to abut against the insertion interface under water pressure, at which time the water-stopping component is in the closed position to close the water outlet panel; when the water outlet panel is switched to the rotating state, the water-stopping component disengages from the insertion interface to reset in the reverse direction to the open position, correspondingly opening the water outlet panel.

[0010] As a further improvement, the faucet body is provided with a switch valve core and a diverter connected to the switch valve core; the diverter is installed on the water outlet of the switch valve core, and when the water stop is in the closed position, it automatically selects the faucet water to the pull-out faucet, and when the water stop is in the open position, it automatically selects the panel water to the water outlet panel.

[0011] As a further improvement, the diverter includes a housing with an internal movable cavity and an intermediate plug body housed in the movable cavity; the housing has a side inlet, a top outlet and a bottom outlet; the intermediate plug body is controlled by the water pressure in the movable cavity and can move freely up and down to select one outlet to discharge water.

[0012] As a further improvement, when the water stop is in the closed position, the intermediate plug is pressed and moves upward to block the bottom outlet, thus connecting the side inlet and the top outlet, thereby selecting the faucet water to flow out; when the water stop is in the open position, the intermediate plug is pressed and moves downward to block the top outlet, thus connecting the side inlet and the bottom outlet, thereby selecting the panel water to flow out.

[0013] As a further improvement, the intermediate plug body is provided with a small sealing element at its upper end that is adapted to the top outlet, and a large sealing element at its lower end that is adapted to the bottom outlet. Thus, when the water stop is in the open position, the larger force-bearing area of ​​the large sealing element causes the intermediate plug body to be pressed and move downwards, so as to preferentially select the bottom outlet below to discharge water.

[0014] As a further improvement, the connecting end of the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the faucet body, which is correspondingly mounted on the external countertop, and the water outlet panel is used to output shower water.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0016] This multi-functional faucet, through the coordinated operation of the pull-out faucet and the water outlet panel, allows users to easily achieve various water outlet options from multiple angles and directions, meeting diverse usage needs. Furthermore, the water outlet panel does not dispense water when retracted, avoiding space occupation and making it suitable for compact environments. It also provides a cleaner look after storage, preventing unnecessary water waste. The pull-out faucet and water outlet panel have staggered water flow; when water flows from the pull-out faucet, no water flows from the water outlet panel, and vice versa. This ensures the independence and effectiveness of water flow in different states, thereby improving the overall coordination and consistency of the faucet's water output.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model. Example

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a multifunctional faucet, including a faucet body 1, a mounting bracket 2, a pull-out faucet 3, and a water outlet panel 4. The mounting bracket 2 has a connecting end 5 disposed on the faucet body 1 and a horizontally extending clamping end 6. The pull-out faucet 3 is flexibly connected to the faucet body 1 and has at least one usage state where it is positioned at the clamping end 6. The water outlet panel 4 is rotatably disposed on the clamping end 6 and is arranged to avoid contact with the pull-out faucet 3. The water outlet panel 4 does not dispense water when retracted into the mounting bracket 2, but dispenses water after relative rotation, and the water outlets of the pull-out faucet 3 and the water outlet panel 4 are staggered.

[0030] The aforementioned multi-functional faucet, through the collaborative operation of the pull-out faucet 3 and the water outlet panel 4, allows users to easily achieve various water outlet uses from multiple angles and directions, meeting different usage needs. Furthermore, the water outlet panel 4 does not dispense water when stored, avoiding space occupation and making it suitable for compact environments. It is also neater when stored, preventing unnecessary water waste. The pull-out faucet 3 and the water outlet panel 4 have staggered water outlets; when water flows from the pull-out faucet 3, water does not flow from the water outlet panel 4, and vice versa. This ensures the independence and effectiveness of water flow in different states, thereby improving the overall coordination and uniformity of the faucet's water output.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the water outlet panel 4 is in the retracted state, the pull-out faucet 3 dispenses water. When the water outlet panel 4 is in the rotating state, the pull-out faucet 3 stops dispensing water, and the water outlet panel 4 dispenses water accordingly. Thus, by switching the state of the water outlet panel 4, the water path can be quickly switched between faucet water and panel water, allowing for immediate on / off operation, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0032] Specifically, the faucet body 1 outputs water to the pull-out faucet 3 via a flexible hose 7, and the faucet body 1 outputs panel water via the mounting bracket 2. The water outlet panel 4 is connected to the water passage within the mounting bracket 2. Clearly, the flexible hose 7 can withstand a certain degree of bending and stretching, ensuring smooth water flow to the pull-out faucet 3 at various angles, and improving the convenience and flexibility of its use. Furthermore, the indirect connection of the water outlet panel 4 to the mounting bracket 2 ensures more stable and precise water flow guidance, while avoiding excessive and cumbersome pipes and water passages, thus improving the overall compactness and aesthetics of the structure.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet panel 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 8, which is pivotally connected to the clamping end 6, and the water outlet panel 4 is located at the lower end of the mounting bracket 2. Further, a water stop 10 is provided on the water path of the mounting bracket 2, and a corresponding insertion interface 9 is provided on the rotating shaft 8 to align and insert with the water stop 10. When the water outlet panel 4 is switched to the retracted state, the water stop 10 is pushed horizontally against the insertion interface 9 under water pressure, at which point the water stop 10 is in the closed position to close the water outlet panel 4. When the water outlet panel 4 is switched to the rotating state, the water stop 10 disengages from the insertion interface 9 to return to the open position in the reverse direction, correspondingly opening the water outlet panel 4.

[0034] The rotating shaft 8 of the water outlet panel 4 can rotate freely on the lower end face of the clamping end 6 of the mounting bracket 2, allowing the water outlet panel 4 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage needs. This facilitates users in adjusting the water flow direction according to different operational requirements, greatly improving the faucet's applicability, especially when precise adjustment of the water flow direction is required. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 8 of the water outlet panel 4 is pivotally connected to the lower end face of the clamping end 6, ensuring stable support for the water outlet panel 4 while facilitating rotation. Users can easily switch the water flow path by simply rotating the water outlet panel 4, making operation simple and intuitive, avoiding complex adjustments, and enhancing the user experience. Connecting the water outlet panel 4 to the water passage within the mounting bracket 2 not only saves additional space but also avoids unnecessary external pipes or connectors, thereby improving the overall structural compactness and aesthetics.

[0035] In its stowed state, the water outlet panel 4 fits snugly into the mounting bracket 2, saving space and effectively protecting the faucet's water system. The water outlet panel 4 is connected to the water path within the mounting bracket 2, allowing for automatic and accurate switching of the water flow path in different states. Users do not need to manually adjust the water flow channels or turn valves on and off; simply rotating the water outlet panel 4 switches the water flow path, ensuring precise and efficient water output and preventing waste or misdirection.

[0036] In particular, by interlocking the connector 9 on the rotating shaft 8 with the water-stopping component 10, when the water outlet panel 4 is switched to the retracted state, the water-stopping component 10 can be automatically pushed horizontally to the connector 9 under water pressure, thereby precisely switching the water-stopping component 10 to the closed position, correspondingly sealing between the water outlet panel 4 and the mounting bracket 2, ensuring that the water flow to the water outlet panel 4 is completely stopped. Conversely, when the water outlet panel 4 is operated to the rotating state, the rotating shaft rotates relative to the water-stopping component 10, causing it to disengage from the connector 9, and the rotating shaft pushes the water-stopping component 10 back to the open position. At this time, the water passage is automatically opened, allowing water to flow to the water outlet panel 4, thereby ensuring accurate switching of the water flow path, improving the accuracy of water flow control, and avoiding errors or omissions caused by manual operation of the switch handle.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 10As shown, in this embodiment, the faucet body 1 is provided with a switch valve core 11 and a diverter 12 connected to the switch valve core 11. The diverter 12 is installed on the water outlet path of the switch valve core 11. When the water stop 10 is in the closed position, it automatically selects the faucet water to be discharged to the pull-out faucet 3, and when the water stop 10 is in the open position, it automatically selects the panel water to be discharged to the water outlet panel 4. The diverter 12 includes a housing 13 with an internal movable cavity and an intermediate plug 17 housed in the movable cavity. The housing 13 has a side water inlet 14, a top water outlet 15, and a bottom water outlet 16. The intermediate plug 17 is controlled by the water pressure in the movable cavity and moves freely up and down to select a water outlet.

[0038] It should be noted that the diverter 12 utilizes water pressure to divert water from only one outlet. When the water stop 10 is switched to the closed position, the bottom outlet 16 and the water passage of the connected mounting bracket 2 are blocked by the water stop 10. The internal water pressure drives the intermediate valve 17 to move and seal the bottom outlet 16, so water can only flow from the top outlet 15 to the pull-out faucet 3. When the water stop 10 is switched to the open position, the bottom outlet 16 and the water passage are not blocked. The internal water pressure drives the intermediate valve 17 to move and seal the top outlet 15, so water flows preferentially from the bottom outlet 16 to the water outlet panel 4.

[0039] When the water stop 10 is in the closed position, the intermediate plug 17 is pressed upward to block the bottom outlet 16, thus connecting the side inlet 14 and the top outlet 15, thereby selecting water from the tap. When the water stop 10 is in the open position, the intermediate plug 17 is pressed downward to block the top outlet 15, thus connecting the side inlet 14 and the bottom outlet 16, thereby selecting water from the panel.

[0040] Specifically, the diverter 12 achieves water diversion as follows: the intermediate plug 17 has a small sealing element 18 at its upper end that matches the top outlet 15, and a large sealing element 19 at its lower end that matches the bottom outlet 16. When the water stop 10 is in the open position, the larger sealing element 19 has a larger force-bearing area, causing the intermediate plug 17 to move downwards under pressure, preferentially selecting the bottom outlet 16 for water flow. Obviously, the larger sealing element 19, with its larger force-bearing area, moves downwards under water pressure, sealing the top outlet 15 at the upper end of the intermediate plug 17. When the bottom outlet 16 and the water passage are blocked by the water stop 10, the water flow from the side inlet 14 can only be output through the top outlet 15, and the intermediate plug 17 moves upwards under pressure to connect the side inlet 14 and the top outlet 15.

[0041] Preferably, the small sealing element 18 is configured as an O-ring that fits over the upper end of the intermediate plug body 17, and the large sealing element 19 is configured as a V-ring that fits over the lower end of the intermediate plug body 17, with the V-ring being larger than the O-ring. By providing sealing rings with different pressure-bearing areas at both ends of the intermediate plug body 17, a flow diversion operation is actively implemented through pressure difference.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting end 5 of the mounting bracket 2 is rotatably mounted on the faucet body 1 along the axial direction. The faucet body 1 is correspondingly mounted on an external countertop, and the water outlet panel 4 is used to output shower water. The rotatable connecting end 5 of the mounting bracket 2 allows for more flexible adjustment of the faucet body 1's installation position, facilitating installation and allowing users to adjust the faucet's angle and direction according to actual needs, thus adapting to different usage scenarios and improving the faucet's adaptability and ease of operation. Furthermore, outputting shower water through the water outlet panel 4 effectively provides more water output options, increasing the functionality of the water output.
