Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water outlet device technology, and more specifically, to a water outlet device with dual-control water circuits. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electric faucets typically only have sensor-activated water dispensing. Water dispensing devices that combine an electric switch and a faucet handle often require opening the faucet handle to activate the control valve, which then triggers the electric switch. The electrical signal then controls the solenoid valve to activate the flow, thus dispensing water. In other words, water dispensing via an electric switch requires opening the faucet handle first. With this type of electric water dispensing, if the electric switch fails, the water dispensing function will be lost.

[0003] Furthermore, the existing electric faucet's electric control switch and water circuit structure form a control box, which is usually installed under the countertop. The overall structure and pipe connection are relatively complex, making installation difficult for ordinary consumers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water outlet device with dual-control water circuits to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0006] This application provides a water outlet device with dual-control water circuits, including a main body, a valve core having at least two switching states disposed within the main body, a valve body disposed within the main body, which has an outlet channel and an inlet channel arranged along a first direction; the valve body is provided with an electric control switch;

[0007] The valve body is provided with a mounting surface along the second direction that is adapted to the bottom of the valve core; the valve core is assembled and connected to the mounting surface, connecting the water outlet channel and the water inlet channel, forming a first water inlet passage, a first water outlet passage and a second water outlet passage;

[0008] When the valve core is in the first switch state, the first water outlet passage is opened, and the water outlet passage is controlled by the electronic switch; when the valve core is in the second switch state, the second water outlet passage is opened.

[0009] Furthermore, the valve body is provided with a mounting cavity for installing the electronic control switch along the first direction, and forms a control cavity that communicates with the water outlet channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting surface is provided with a first water inlet, a second water inlet, a first water outlet, and a second water outlet; the valve body is provided with a first water inlet channel and a second water inlet channel; the valve core is provided with a first valve core water inlet, a second valve core water inlet, a first valve core water outlet, and a second valve core water outlet;

[0011] Wherein, the first water inlet connects the first water inlet channel and the first valve core water inlet to form a first water inlet path; the second water inlet connects the second water inlet channel and the second valve core water inlet to form a second water inlet path; the first water outlet connects the first valve core water outlet and the control chamber to form a first water outlet path; the second water outlet connects the second valve core water outlet and the water outlet channel to form a second water outlet path.

[0012] Furthermore, the first direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is a horizontal direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the water outlet channel and the water inlet channel are configured with lower openings along the first direction; the mounting cavity is configured with upper openings along the first direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the valve body is provided with a channel along the first direction to facilitate the passage of the water outlet pipe.

[0015] Furthermore, a limiting step is provided within the body.

[0016] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a sensing window for placing a sensor that is electrically connected to the electronic control switch.

[0017] Furthermore, the valve core and the mounting surface form an end face seal.

[0018] Furthermore, the valve core also has a third switching state, which closes the water outlet passage; the valve core is provided with a handle, which, when the handle is approximately flush with the first direction, drives the valve core to the first switching state; when the handle is flipped inward, it drives the valve core to the third switching state; when the handle is flipped outward, it drives the valve core to the second switching state.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0020] This invention provides a water outlet device with dual-control water paths. Through the valve body and valve core, two water outlet passages are formed. When the valve core is in the first switch state, water flow from the first water outlet passage can be controlled by an electric switch. When the valve core is in the second switch state, water flow from the second water outlet passage can be controlled. Compared to existing technologies, this solution allows for separate control of the two water paths via an electric switch and a valve core. In other words, even if the electric switch fails, the water flow can still be controlled by adjusting the valve core's on / off state using a handle. Furthermore, by directly mounting the electric switch on the valve body, a separate control box is eliminated, simplifying the overall structure and piping connections, making installation easier.

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 represents selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0036] Example

[0037] Combination Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet device with dual-control water circuits, including a body 1, a valve core 14 having at least two switching states disposed within the body 1, a valve body 2 disposed within the body 1, which has an outlet channel 3 and an inlet channel disposed along a first direction; the valve body 2 is provided with an electric control switch 5;

[0038] The valve body 2 is provided with a mounting surface 9 along the second direction that is adapted to the bottom of the valve core 14; the valve core 14 is assembled and connected to the mounting surface 9, connecting the water outlet channel 3 and the water inlet channel, forming a first water inlet passage, a first water outlet passage and a second water outlet passage;

[0039] When the valve core 14 is in the first switch state, the first water outlet passage is opened, and the water outlet passage is controlled by the electric control switch 5; when the valve core 14 is in the second switch state, the second water outlet passage is opened.

[0040] The valve body 2, in conjunction with the valve core 14, forms two water outlet paths. When the valve core 14 is in the first switch state, the water flow from the first outlet path can be controlled by the electric control switch 5. When the valve core 14 is in the second switch state, the water flow from the second outlet path can be controlled. Compared to existing technologies, this solution allows for separate control of the two water paths via the electric control switch 5 and the valve core 14. In other words, even if the electric control switch 5 fails, the switch state of the valve core 14 can still be adjusted via the handle 19 to control the water flow. Furthermore, by directly mounting the electric control switch 5 on the valve body 2, a separate control box is unnecessary, resulting in a simpler overall structure and easier installation.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 12 As shown, the first direction is vertical, and the second direction is horizontal. The valve core 14 is mounted on the body 1, and a sealing ring is provided on the bottom end face of the valve core 14 to form an end face seal with the mounting surface 9. A limiting step 22 is provided inside the body 1 to limit the installation of the valve body 2. A sensing window 21 is provided on the body 1 for placing the sensor 23 electrically connected to the electric control switch 5. In this embodiment, the electric control switch 5 is a solenoid valve.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting surface 9 is provided with a first water inlet 10, a second water inlet 11, a first water outlet 12, and a second water outlet 13; the valve body 2 is provided with a first water inlet channel 4 and a second water inlet channel 8; the first water inlet 10 connects the first water inlet channel 4 and the water inlet of the first valve core 14 to form a first water inlet passage; the second water inlet 11 connects the second water inlet channel 8 and the water inlet of the second valve core 14 to form a second water inlet passage; the first water outlet 12 connects the water outlet of the first valve core 14 and the control cavity 7 to form a first water outlet passage; the second water outlet 13 connects the water outlet of the second valve core 14 and the water outlet channel 3 to form a second water outlet passage.

[0043] The first water inlet channel 4 and the second water inlet channel 8 provided on the valve body 2 are used to connect to external cold water and hot water, respectively. The electric control switch 5 is installed on the mounting cavity 6 and controls the flow of water in the control cavity 7. A second water inlet 11 is provided on the mounting surface 9, which communicates with the second water inlet channel 8 and the second valve core 14 water inlet, forming a second water inlet path. The first water inlet 10 connects with the first water inlet channel 4 and the first valve core 14 water inlet, forming a first water inlet path. In this embodiment, the first water inlet channel 4 and the second water inlet channel 8 are connected to the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe, respectively.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 12As shown, the valve core 14 has a first valve core 14 inlet and a second valve core 14 inlet corresponding to the outlets of the first water inlet channel 4 and the second water inlet channel 8 on the valve body 2, as well as a cold water inlet and a hot water inlet; and a first valve core 14 outlet and a second valve core 14 outlet corresponding to the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 13 on the mounting surface 9. In this embodiment, the valve core 14 has three switching states, which are switched by a handle 19 provided on the valve core 14. The valve core 14 is prior art, and its internal structure will not be described here.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, when the water outlet device is directly in front of the user, the operating lever of the handle 19 is in a vertically upward state. At this time, the valve core 14 is in the first switch state, that is, the first water outlet passage is open, and the water outlet of the first water outlet passage is controlled by the electronic control switch 5. In this state, water flows out through the outlet of the first valve core 14, enters the control chamber 7, and enters the water outlet channel 3 under the control of the electronic control switch 5; that is, in the first switch state, whether the first water outlet passage is connected to the water outlet channel 3 is controlled by the electronic control switch 5. Of course, in this state, the handle 19 can rotate along the axis of the valve core 14, thereby adjusting the ratio of hot and cold water to control the water temperature.

[0046] In the second state, after the handle 19 is flipped outward at a certain angle, it is as follows: Figure 3 In the indicated state, the operating lever of the handle 19 is flipped to the right. At this time, the valve core 14 is in the second switch state, the first water outlet passage is closed, and water flows out of the second water outlet passage. That is, whether the second water outlet passage is connected to the water outlet channel 3 is controlled by the valve core 14. Of course, in this state, the handle 19 can be rotated along the axis of the valve core 14 to adjust the ratio of hot and cold water and thus control the water temperature.

[0047] In the second state, after the handle 19 is rotated inward at a certain angle, it is as follows: Figure 3 In the indicated state, the operating lever of the handle 19 is flipped to the left. At this time, the valve core 14 is in the third switch state, and the water outlet passage is closed.

[0048] The two water circuits are controlled by the electric switch 5 and the valve core 14, respectively. That is to say, even if the electric switch 5 fails, the on / off state of the valve core 14 can be adjusted by the handle 19 to control the water flow.

[0049] Preferably, the water outlet channel 3 and the water inlet channel are configured with lower openings along the first direction; the mounting cavity 6 is configured with an upper opening along the first direction. This makes the structure of the valve body 2 more compact, does not occupy too much space, and reduces the volume of the main body 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the water outlet device also includes a water outlet pipe; such as Figure 8 As shown, the valve body 2 has a channel 24 along the first direction. One end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet channel 3, and the other end is placed inside the water outlet bend 20 through the channel 24. The channel 24 avoids the space for the water outlet pipe to pass through. The overall structure of the valve body 2 is compact, greatly reducing the size of the main body 1. Of course, the water outlet pipe can be a pull-out water outlet pipe or a fixed water outlet pipe.
