[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-8 As shown, this application embodiment provides a faucet, which includes: a main pipe 1, a first outlet pipe 2, and a second outlet pipe 3. The main pipe 1 and the first outlet pipe 2 are provided with a first water passage structure 4, and the main pipe 1 and the second outlet pipe 3 are provided with a second water passage structure 5. The second outlet pipe 3 is rotatably mounted on top of the main pipe 1, and the first outlet pipe 2 is rotatably mounted on the second outlet pipe 3; both the first outlet pipe 2 and the second outlet pipe 3 can rotate freely relative to the main pipe 1 along a coaxial axis. The first water passage structure 4 and the second water passage structure 5 can be connected to different water sources, such as the first water passage structure 4 being connected to a water purifier, and the second water passage structure 5 being connected to tap water.
[0033] In this embodiment, two water outlet pipes are provided on the faucet, and two water circuit structures are respectively set in the two water outlet pipes. The two water circuit structures can be connected to different water sources. In this way, users can conveniently select different water outlet pipes as needed. Moreover, this integrated design does not take up space and enhances the faucet's premium and stylish feel. At the same time, both water outlet pipes can rotate freely without interfering with each other, and the two water outlet pipes can be staggered in the vertical direction, thereby effectively preventing one water outlet pipe from affecting the water connection of the other water outlet pipe.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , such as 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first water outlet pipe 2 is located above the second water outlet pipe 3. There is a gap between the water outlet of the first water passage structure 4 and the water outlet of the second water passage structure 5, and they are not on the same vertical line. The second water outlet pipe 3 is provided with a transition hole 31 that communicates with the internal channel of the main pipe 1. The first water passage structure 4 and the second water passage structure 5 are both connected to the water supply pipe 11 through the transition hole 31. There are two water supply pipes 11, one of which is connected to the first water passage structure 4 and the other is connected to the second water passage structure 5. The two water supply pipes 11 are connected to different water sources respectively.
[0035] Preferably, the first water outlet pipe 2 is a right-angled pipe, including a horizontal pipe 21 and a vertical pipe 22; wherein, the horizontal pipe 21 is flat, the vertical pipe 22 is a round pipe and is rotatably mounted on the transition hole 31 of the second water outlet pipe 3, the second water outlet pipe 3 is a straight pipe with a transition hole 31 at one end, the axis of the transition hole 31 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second water outlet pipe 3, and the second water outlet pipe 3 is flat. The first water outlet pipe 2, the second water outlet pipe 3, and the main pipe 1 all function as shells, and the first water outlet pipe 2 and the second water outlet pipe 3 each have internal cavities for installing the first water passage structure 4 and the second water passage structure 5, respectively.
[0036] like Figures 3-7 As shown, an installation component 6 is provided inside the main pipe 1. The installation component 6 has a first installation hole 61 coaxial with the main pipe 1. The first installation hole 61 is an axial through hole, which is used to facilitate the connection between the first water passage structure 4 and the water supply pipe 11 in the main pipe. Part of the installation component 6 passes through the transition hole 31 and is placed inside the vertical pipe 22. The inner wall of the vertical pipe 22 is in rotatable contact with the installation component 6. The installation component 6 facilitates the stable installation of the first water outlet pipe 2 and the second water outlet pipe 3, and also facilitates the synchronous rotation of the first water passage structure 4 and the second water passage structure 5 when the first water outlet pipe 2 and the second water outlet pipe 3 rotate.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first waterway structure 4 includes a first water pipe 41, a first adapter 42 and a second adapter 43 connected to both ends of the first water pipe 41. The first water pipe 41 is laid flat inside the horizontal pipe 21. The first adapter 42 is a right-angle adapter, with one part located inside the horizontal pipe 21 and the other part located inside the vertical pipe 22. The second adapter 43 is located at the end of the first outlet pipe 2 away from the vertical pipe 22 and has a downward-facing outlet. The second waterway structure 5 includes a second water pipe 51, a third adapter 52 and a fourth adapter 53 connected to both ends of the second water pipe 51. The second outlet pipe is laid flat inside the second outlet pipe 3. The third adapter 52 is a bend adapter, with one part located inside the second outlet pipe 3 and the other part located inside the main pipe 1. The fourth adapter is located at the end of the second outlet pipe 3 away from the main pipe 1 and has a downward-facing outlet. In this embodiment, the first adapter 42 and the third adapter 52 are respectively connected to the corresponding water supply pipe 11 via quick-connect pipe couplings 12. The water supply pipe 11 is a flexible hose.
[0038] Preferably, the mounting component 6 has a second mounting hole 62 radially provided at the position corresponding to the adapter hole 31. The second mounting hole 62 communicates with the first mounting hole 61. The second mounting hole 62 is provided to facilitate the connection between the second water outlet structure and the water supply pipe 11 in the main pipe. One end of the third adapter 52 is rotatably connected to the second mounting hole 62. The second mounting hole 62 can limit the rotation range of the second water outlet pipe 3. In this embodiment, the opening angle of the second mounting hole 62 is 180°.
[0039] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the top of the main pipe 1 is provided with a first wear-resistant ring 7, and the second outlet pipe 3 is rotatably mounted on the first wear-resistant ring 7; the top of the second outlet pipe 3 located at the junction hole 31 is provided with a second wear-resistant ring 8, and the vertical pipe 22 is rotatably mounted on the second wear-resistant ring 8. The first wear-resistant ring 7 enables the rotation of the second outlet pipe 3, and the second wear-resistant ring 8 enables the rotation of the first outlet pipe 2. The vertical movement of the second outlet pipe 3 is limited by the first outlet pipe 2.
[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a limiting ring 23 is radially protruding from the inner end of the vertical pipe 22 near the second wear-resistant ring 8. A limiting cylinder 9 is provided on the top of the mounting component 6, with the lower end of the limiting cylinder 9 extending to the upper surface of the limiting ring 23 and spaced apart. In the vertical projection, the lower end face of the limiting cylinder 9 overlaps with the limiting ring 23, so that the limiting cylinder 9 and the limiting ring 23 can cooperate to restrict the vertical direction of the vertical pipe 22. The limiting cylinder 9 and the limiting ring 23 are spaced apart to ensure the normal rotation of the first water outlet pipe 2. To reduce the wear of the limiting ring 23, a third wear-resistant ring can be provided on the upper surface of the limiting ring 23, with the third wear-resistant ring spaced apart from the lower end face of the limiting cylinder 9. To reduce friction, multiple hemispherical protrusions are spaced apart on the upper surfaces of the first wear-resistant ring 7, the second wear-resistant ring 8, and the third wear-resistant ring. In this embodiment, the outer side of the limiting cylinder 9 is provided with multiple sealing rings. The sealing rings are in contact with the inner wall of the vertical pipe 22, which serves to seal the pipe and also enables the damped rotation of the first water outlet pipe 2.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the first wear-resistant ring 7 and the second wear-resistant ring 8 are radially limited by a snap-fit structure. The inner wall of the first wear-resistant ring 7 has a protrusion with a limiting groove 71. The outer wall of the mounting part 6 has a rib 67, which is snapped into the limiting groove 71, thus preventing the first wear-resistant ring 7 from rotating radially. The inner wall of the second wear-resistant ring 8 has a limiting block 72 protruding from it. The outer wall of the mounting part 6 has a limiting groove 71, and the limiting block 72 is snapped into the limiting groove 71, thus preventing the second wear-resistant ring 8 from rotating radially.
[0042] In an embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the main pipe 1 is provided with several protruding posts 13, each with a threaded hole. The outer wall of the mounting component 6 is provided with a protruding ring 63, which has a countersunk hole 64. The countersunk hole 64 and the threaded hole are aligned and fixed by screws 65. The mounting component 6 is fixed inside the main pipe 1 by screws 65 for easy assembly. At the same time, the quick-connect pipe fitting 12, which is used to connect with the third adapter 52, is also fixed to the protruding posts 13 by screws 65. The quick-connect pipe fitting 12, which is used to connect with the first adapter 42, is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting cylinder 9 and the mounting component 6 by screws 65. This achieves both the fixed connection between the limiting cylinder 9 and the mounting component 6 and the fixed connection between the quick-connect pipe fitting 12 and the limiting cylinder 9.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, both the first water outlet pipe 2 and the second water outlet pipe 3 are intelligent control pipes, each containing an electrical control component. Specifically, the tops of the first water outlet pipe 2 and the second water outlet pipe 3 are each equipped with a control panel 10, which allows for the adjustment of water flow, temperature, and other parameters.
