Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a three-function water distributor includes a housing 1, a water inlet 2, a water distribution body 3, and an elbow 4. The water inlet 2 and the water distribution body 3 are disposed inside the housing 1. The lower end of the water inlet 2 is rotatably connected to the water distribution body 3. The lower end of the housing 1 is provided with a first water outlet 11. The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a second water outlet 12 and a third water outlet 13. The second water outlet 12 is provided with threads for connecting to a shower head or spray gun. The elbow 4 is mounted on the third outlet 13 and rotates. The inlet body 2 is provided with symmetrically arranged inlet holes 21. The water distribution body 3 is provided with a first flow channel, a second flow channel and a third flow channel that are connected to the inlet holes 21. The first flow channel is connected to the first outlet 11, the second flow channel is connected to the second outlet 12, and the third flow channel is connected to the third outlet 13. The lower end of the water distribution body 3 is provided with a switching handwheel 5 that controls the rotation of the water distribution body 3. The switching handwheel 5 is connected to the lower end of the water distribution body 3 by a thread. When the switching handwheel 5 is locked to the water distribution body 3, it can drive the water distribution body 3 to rotate. When the water distribution body 3 rotates, the inlet holes 21 can switch between the first flow channel, the second flow channel and the third flow channel, thereby achieving the effect of switching the water outlet.

[0029] Specifically, the first flow channel includes a first water-dividing hole 61 and a water outlet cavity 62. The lower end of the first water-dividing hole 61 communicates with the water outlet cavity 62. The second flow channel includes a second water-dividing hole 63 and a first annular flow channel 64. The first annular flow channel 64 is arranged around the side wall of the water-dividing body 3. The lower end of the second water-dividing hole 63 communicates with the first annular flow channel 64. The third flow channel includes a third water-dividing hole 65 and a second annular flow channel 66. The second annular flow channel 66 is arranged around the side wall of the water-dividing body 3. The lower end of the third water-dividing hole 65 communicates with the second annular flow channel 66. In this embodiment, two of each of the first water-dividing hole 61, the second water-dividing hole 63, and the third water-dividing hole 65 are symmetrically arranged, thereby enabling better cooperation with the water inlet hole 21 and increasing the flow rate. Furthermore, the first water-dividing hole 61, the second water-dividing hole 63, and the third water-dividing hole 65 are evenly distributed around the axis of the water-dividing body 3, so that the flow channel connected to the water inlet hole 21 can be switched every time the water-dividing body 3 rotates by a certain angle. Several sealing rings are provided on the side wall of the water separator 3. The sealing rings are mainly located above and below the first annular flow channel 64 and the second annular flow channel 66, which can seal the water separator 3 and the outer shell 1 to prevent liquid leakage.

[0030] In this embodiment, to ensure that the water distribution holes on the water distribution body 3 are more precisely aligned with the water inlet hole 21 during rotation, the upper end of the water distribution body 3 is provided with a mating cavity 31. The mating cavity 31 contains a mounting hole 32, and the mounting hole 32 contains a slidably connected positioning head 33. The upper end of the positioning head 33 is an arc-shaped curved surface, and the lower end of the positioning head 33 is fitted with a spring 34, which abuts against the lower end of the positioning head 33. The lower surface of the water inlet body 2 is provided with a first positioning hole 22, a second positioning hole 23, and a third positioning hole 24 that mate with the positioning head 33. With this structure, rotating the water distribution body 3 causes the positioning head 33 to rotate as well. When the positioning head 33 is inserted into the first positioning hole 22, the second positioning hole 23, or the third positioning hole 24, positioning is completed. At this time, the water inlet hole 21 can be aligned with the first water distribution hole 61, the second water distribution hole 63, or the third water distribution hole 65, achieving the water outlet effect. When it is necessary to switch the water outlet end, simply rotate the water distribution body 3 forcefully.

[0031] Specifically, to make the fit between the water separator 3 and the water inlet 2 more compact and easier to assemble and disassemble, the upper side wall of the mating cavity 31 is provided with a first locking block 311 protruding inward, and the side wall of the water inlet 2 is provided with a first boss 25 protruding outward. The first locking block 311 and the first boss 25 are snapped together. Both the outer side walls of the first locking block 311 and the first boss 25 have inclined surfaces, which serve as guides. During installation, simply insert the water inlet 2 downward into the mating cavity 31, so that the first locking block 311 and the first boss 25 are snapped together, thus completing the installation. Furthermore, the above structure also enhances the stability of the rotation between the water separator 3 and the water inlet 2. More preferably, the mating cavity 31 is provided with a guide groove 312, and the lower end of the water inlet 2 is provided with a guide block 26, which is slidably embedded in the guide groove 312. When the water separator 3 and the water inlet 2 rotate relative to each other, the guide block 26 can guide the rotation, further improving the stability of the rotation between the water separator 3 and the water inlet 2. In addition, the side walls at both ends of the guide groove 312 can also limit the rotation angle, preventing the water separator 3 from rotating excessively.

[0032] In this embodiment, the side wall of the water inlet 2 is provided with an outwardly protruding second boss 27, and the second boss 27 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 271. The upper end of the outer shell 1 is provided with an inwardly protruding abutment boss 14, and the abutment boss 14 is provided with a positioning groove 15 that cooperates with the positioning protrusions 271. During assembly, the water inlet 2 is inserted into the outer shell 1 from bottom to top, so that the second boss 27 and the abutment boss 14 abut against each other to complete the engagement. The positioning protrusions 271 and the positioning groove 15 cooperate with each other to restrict the rotation of the outer shell 1. The upper end of the water inlet 2 is provided with an upper opening 28 and the lower end is provided with a lower opening 29. A sealing gasket 291 is embedded in the lower opening 29. The sealing gasket 291 is provided with a water passage hole 43 that matches the shape of the water inlet hole 21. The bottom wall of the lower opening 29 is provided with a sealing hole 292 that passes through and connects to the upper opening 28. When the faucet is turned on, the water pressure in the upper opening 28 increases, and the water in the upper opening 28 can enter the sealing hole 292, pressing the sealing gasket 291 tightly onto the water distribution body 3. This not only improves the sealing effect but also enhances the user experience.

[0033] In this embodiment, a filter cover 7 is provided inside the upper opening 28. The filter cover 7 can filter the water from the faucet. The side wall of the filter cover 7 is provided with an outward protrusion 71, and the side wall of the upper opening 28 is provided with a groove 281 that cooperates with the outward protrusion 71, thereby restricting the relative rotation between the filter cover 7 and the water inlet body 2. A nut 8 is fitted onto the upper end of the water inlet body 2, and the upper end of the nut 8 is connected to the water outlet of the faucet. The upper end of the water inlet body 2 is provided with a second outward protruding locking block 282, and the lower end of the inner side wall of the nut 8 is provided with a third protrusion 81 that engages with the second locking block 282. With the above structure, the water inlet body 2 can rotate relative to the nut 8, thereby adjusting the water outlet direction and making it easier to assemble and disassemble the nut 8 and the water inlet body.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elbow 4 is rotatably connected to the third outlet 13 via a snap ring. The elbow 4 contains a rotatably connected rotating core 41, which is connected to the elbow 4 via a snap ring. The upper end of the rotating core 41 has a threaded adjusting head 42, and the lower end of the rotating core 41 has a water passage hole 43. By rotating the adjusting head 42, the water passage hole 43 can be rotated, thereby adjusting the communication area between the water passage hole 43 and the third outlet 13, thus regulating the flow rate.

[0035] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention lie in its multi-functional water outlet structure. The first water outlet 11 can be used to install an aerator, the second water outlet 12 can be connected to a spray gun or shower head, and the third water outlet 13 has an upward-curved elbow 4, suitable for rinsing the mouth or washing the face. This makes the invention more flexible and applicable to a wider range of situations. Furthermore, the water outlet can be quickly switched by rotating the handwheel 5, making operation more convenient. In addition, the invention has a more compact structure and can be flexibly rotated to adjust the water outlet direction, further enhancing its flexibility of use.

[0036] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
