Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, specifically to a dual-outlet valve core and a faucet having the valve core. Background Technology
[0002] A faucet is a common name for a water valve, used to control the flow of water and thus saving water. The working principle of a faucet is usually based on pressure difference. When the control lever is operated, it adjusts the degree to which the valve opens, thereby controlling the water flow. Simultaneously, throttling devices can limit the amount of water flow by changing the shape and size of the channel, thereby achieving a water-saving effect.
[0003] A dual-outlet faucet is a faucet that can simultaneously output two types of water. Its unique design not only allows for switching between pure water and purified water (or pure water / purified water and hot and cold water), but also plays an indispensable role in the kitchen.
[0004] Currently, dual-outlet faucets can also be produced through casting. However, due to the complex internal structure of dual-outlet faucets and the high cost of casting, some split-type dual-outlet faucets have appeared on the market. These are produced by manufacturing each component separately (such as casting or stamping the valve body and handle separately), and then assembling them by welding. The process is relatively simple, the cost is lower, and it is suitable for mass production.
[0005] While some split-type dual-outlet faucets can reduce casting processing costs, after processing multiple parts, they need to be assembled and welded to fix the assembly positions, which cannot further reduce the cumbersome assembly of dual-outlet faucets. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a dual-outlet valve core and a faucet having the valve core.

[0049] It is also possible to Figure 13-15 As shown, the outlet pipe of valve core tube 6 is a single pipe, and the outlet cavity is divided into two parts. In this case, the outlet pipe can be set as one. The structure of the outlet pipe includes: pipe body a1, connecting column a2 located at the lower end of pipe body a1 and connected to the water outlet cavity 33, outlet seat a3 located at the upper end of pipe body a1, outer water cavity a4 opened in pipe body a1, and inner water pipe located between outlet seat a3 and connecting column a2 and located in outer water cavity a4. a5, a water inlet cavity a6 on the connecting column a2 and connected to the inner water pipe a5, a first water outlet a7 on the water outlet seat a3 and connected to the inner water pipe a5, a side water cavity a8 on the connecting column a2 located outside the water inlet cavity a6 and connected to the outer water cavity a4, a second water outlet a9 on the water outlet seat a3, and a side water inlet cavity a10 on the water outlet seat a3 and connected to the second water outlet a9 and the outer water cavity a4 respectively.

The sealing ring can be an O-ring, in which case the O-rings are respectively positioned between the water inlet and the water inlet hole, and between the water outlet and the water outlet hole. In this application, the sealing ring is a figure-eight shaped sealing ring, which seals the gaps between the water inlet and outlet and the water inlet and the water outlet hole.
[0053] The valve core seat 4 or the locking seat 7 is provided with a ring placement groove 44, and the elastic sealing ring 43 is located in the ring placement groove 44.
[0054] The inclination angle between the first inclined surface 8 and the second inclined surface 9 is 2°-10°.

[0057] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During the manufacturing of the faucet, the faucet body 1 and the valve core are produced separately. During installation, the valve core seat 4 is first inserted from the side opening 3, and then the valve core tube 6 is pushed from bottom to top into the longitudinal opening 2, so that the valve core tube 6 passes through the tube body a1 through hole and drives the locking seat 7 into the locking through hole 5, until the first inclined surface 8 and the second inclined surface 9 are pressed and adhered. At this time, the water inlet and water outlet correspond to the water inlet hole and water outlet hole respectively. The valve core tube 6 is restricted to the faucet body 1 by the fixing device to prevent the valve core tube 6 from detaching from the tube body a1 through hole. After assembly, there is no need to fix it by welding, which can further reduce the assembly complexity of the double-outlet faucet.
[0058] When it is necessary to install the pure water valve core and the purified water valve core into the pure water core hole 10 and the purified water core hole 11, the pure water valve core and the purified water valve core are threadedly connected to the valve core thread surface 22 through the pure water core hole 10 and the purified water core hole 11, thereby fixing the pure water valve core and the purified water valve core into the pure water core hole 10 and the purified water core hole 11; after the pure water valve core and the purified water valve core are installed, the pure water valve core and the purified water valve core are connected to the pure water inlet 12 and the purified water inlet 13 and the pure water outlet 14 and the purified water outlet 15, respectively.

Then, thread the valve core mounting seat 41 onto the external thread surface 40, and fix the hot and cold water valve core body into the hot and cold water core hole 24 through the valve core mounting seat 41 and the valve core locking hole 42.
[0060] The placement groove 44 is integrally set on the valve core seat 4 or the locking seat 7. The placement groove 44 can limit the elastic sealing ring 43, so that after the locking seat 7 and the valve core seat 4 are engaged, the phenomenon of the elastic sealing ring 43 shifting is reduced.
