[0034] To facilitate positioning of the rotating sleeve 106 and prevent water leakage, the connecting water outlet device includes: a water outlet through hole 111 opened on the mounting sleeve 110, two first sealing grooves 112 opened on the mounting sleeve 110 respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the water outlet hole 103, and a first sealing ring 113 set on the first sealing groove 112. The rotating sleeve 106 is sleeved on the mounting sleeve 110, and the second water outlet channel 109 is located between the first sealing grooves 112.
[0035] To enhance the positioning stability between the rotating sleeve 106 and the mounting sleeve 110, a third sealing groove 114 corresponding to the first sealing groove 112 is provided on the rotating sleeve 106.
[0036] To prevent fluid leakage between the mounting sleeve 110 and the valve seat 101, the sealing device includes: a second sealing groove 115 opened on the valve seat 101 and located on the upper and lower sides of the first water outlet channel 105, a second sealing ring 116 disposed on the second sealing groove 115, and the water outlet through hole 111 located between the second sealing grooves 115.
[0037] To facilitate the installation of the mounting sleeve 110, a fourth sealing groove 117 corresponding to the second sealing groove 115 is provided on the mounting sleeve 110, and a first chamfer 118 is also provided on the fourth sealing groove 117.
[0038] To facilitate the installation of the mounting sleeve 110 on the valve seat 101, the valve seat 101 is provided with a first connecting thread 119, and the mounting sleeve 110 is provided with a second connecting thread 120 that cooperates with the first connecting thread 119.
[0039] To facilitate the positioning of the valve core, a valve core cover 121 is also locked at the upper end of the mounting sleeve 110. The valve core cover 121 is connected to the outer side of the end of the mounting sleeve 110 by a thread, and the valve core cover 121 has a through hole 122 for the valve stem of the valve core to pass through.
[0040] To facilitate the positioning of the faucet, an inlet seat 123 is also provided on the inlet pipe 104.
[0041] To increase the contact area between the faucet and the countertop and improve the stability after installation, the water inlet seat 123 is fitted with a placement seat 124.
[0042] To protect the water inlet pipe 104, a protective shell 125 is also provided between the placement seat 124 and the rotating sleeve 106.
[0043] To improve the feel of the rotating sleeve 106 during rotation, reduce wear among the three components, and further limit the movement of the rotating sleeve 106, the protective shell 125 matches the outer diameter of the rotating sleeve 106, and a first washer 126 is provided between the protective shell 125 and the rotating sleeve 106. The outer diameter of the valve core cover 121 matches the rotating sleeve 106, and a second washer 127 is provided between the valve core cover 121 and the rotating sleeve 106.
[0044] To enhance the functionality of the faucet and enable it to dispense hot and cold water, there are two inlet holes 102, and the inlet pipe 104 is configured to match the inlet holes 102. The valve core installed in the valve seat 101 is a hot and cold water mixing valve core.
[0045] To prevent the protective shell 125 from shaking, the valve seat 101 and the water inlet seat 123 are respectively provided with positioning platforms 128 that match the inner diameter of the protective shell 125, and the placement seat 124 abuts against the positioning platform 128.
[0046] In order to increase the water output and avoid the water flow being affected by the narrow space, the mounting sleeve 110 is also provided with a groove 129 at the position corresponding to the second sealing groove 115.
[0047] To facilitate the installation of the mounting sleeve 110 and prevent damage to the sealing ring, the mounting sleeve 110 is provided with a limiting platform 130 to prevent excessive twisting, and the limiting platform 130 is also provided with a second chamfer 131.
[0048] Both the first sealing ring 113 and the second sealing ring 116 are rubber rings or silicone rings.
[0049] Working principle: During assembly, the first sealing ring 113 is fitted onto the mounting sleeve 110, and the second sealing ring 116 is fitted onto the valve seat 101. At this time, the first washer 126 is placed on the valve seat 101, and then the mounting sleeve 110 is locked onto the valve seat 101 through the first connecting thread 119 and the second connecting thread 120. Then the rotating sleeve 106 can be installed. After the rotating sleeve 106 is installed, the protective shell 125 is fitted onto the water inlet pipe 104 to ensure that the first washer 126 is located between the rotating sleeve 106 and the protective shell 125. Then it is positioned by the placement seat 124. Finally, the second washer 127 is fitted onto the mounting sleeve 110, and the valve core is positioned by the valve core cover 121 to complete the assembly.
[0050] In use, fluid flows from the water supply pipe into the inlet pipe 104, then from the inlet pipe 104 to the valve core, and then into the outlet hole 103, entering the first outlet channel 105, then flowing between the mounting sleeve 110 and the valve seat 101. After overflowing, it flows back to the outlet hole 103, then between the rotating sleeve 106 and the mounting sleeve 110, and finally into the second outlet channel 109, thus flowing out of the outlet 108. Since the rotating sleeve 106 and the mounting sleeve 110 are not fixedly connected but are limited and sealed by a sealing ring, the rotating sleeve 106 can rotate, thereby changing the direction of water flow and improving ease of use.
