[0029] Example

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a faucet with a dual-outlet mode, including an outer body 1, a valve core 2, a first water outlet mechanism 3 and a second water outlet mechanism 4 connected to the outer body 1. A rotating sleeve 5 is provided inside the outer body 1, and the rotating sleeve 5 has a first channel 6. The valve core 2 is provided at the bottom end of the rotating sleeve 5. A second channel 7 for water flow is formed between the rotating sleeve 5, the valve core 2 and the outer body 1.

[0031] The outlet of the valve core 2 is connected to the first water outlet passage 8 and the second water outlet passage 9; the water outlet pipe of the first water outlet mechanism 3 is connected to the first water outlet passage 8 through the first channel 6; the second water outlet mechanism 3 is connected to the second water outlet passage 9 through the second channel 7, and the water flow is controlled by a switch valve 11.

[0032] The concentric first channel 6 and second channel 7 form two water channels, which greatly reduces the external size of the main body while realizing two modes of water output, making the overall appearance more concise.

[0033] Specifically, this embodiment uses valve core 2 as the temperature regulating valve core for detailed explanation. A switching valve 19 is provided between the first water outlet passage 8 and the second water outlet passage 9. When the valve core 2 opens the water outlet, the first water outlet mechanism 3 discharges water. Then, when the switching valve 11 is opened, the switching valve 19 switches under the effect of water pressure balance, causing the first water outlet passage 8 to close and the second water outlet passage 9 to connect, thereby causing the second water outlet mechanism 4 to discharge water.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the outer body 1 includes a body 12, a base 13 connected to the body 12, and a sleeve 14 connected to the base 13. The body 12 and the base 13 are placed on a table. The upper end of the sleeve 14 forms an end face seal with the base 13 through a first sealing ring and is connected to the base 13 through a fixing block 15. The lower end passes through a mounting hole on the table and is screwed with a fixing seat to fix the base 13 to the table.

[0035] The rotating sleeve 5 is disposed within the base 13 and the sleeve 14, and has a through-hole structure forming the first channel 6. The upper end of the rotating sleeve 5 is radially sealed to the inner wall of the base 13 by a second sealing ring. The valve core 2 is disposed at the bottom end of the rotating sleeve 5 via a connector 16, and the valve core 2 is positioned below the platform. The connector 16 and the rotating sleeve 5 are radially sealed to each other by a third sealing ring; while the bottom end face of the connector 16 and the upper end face of the valve core 2 are axially sealed to each other by a fourth sealing ring. The bottom of the valve core 2 is connected to a first adapter 17, which is radially sealed to the inner wall of the sleeve 14 by a fifth sealing ring. The first adapter 17 is provided with a cold water inlet channel and a hot water inlet channel that respectively connect the two inlets of the valve core 2, a total water outlet passage 18 that connects the outlet of the valve core 2, and a second water outlet passage 9; the bottom of the first adapter 17 is provided with a second adapter 29 having the first water outlet passage 8, and the second adapter 29 is provided with the switching valve 19 for controlling the opening and closing of the first water outlet passage 8, the second water outlet passage 9 and the total water outlet passage 18; a gap is provided between the rotating shaft sleeve 5, the connecting member 16, the valve core 2 and the first adapter 17 and the base 13 and the sleeve 14 to form the second passage.

[0036] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 20 for operating the valve core 2 is also provided in the first channel 6; a handle 21 for controlling the rotating shaft 20 is provided on the outer body 1. Specifically, the rotating shaft 20 is a through-tube, with its upper end connected to the handle 21 rotatably mounted on the body 12, and its lower end connected to the operating rod of the valve core 2. Openings 22 are provided on the side walls of the rotating shaft 20, the rotating shaft sleeve 5, and the sleeve 14 to allow the water outlet pipe 10 to pass through the through-cavity of the rotating shaft 20. A sealing element 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the opening 22 on the rotating shaft sleeve 5 to seal against the inner wall of the sleeve 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first water outlet mechanism 3 includes a water outlet bend and a pull-out water outlet head. The water outlet bend is connected to the body 12 via a first rotating seat 24, and the first rotating seat 24 and the inner wall of the water outlet bend are radially sealed by a sixth sealing ring. One end of the water outlet pipe 10 enters the water outlet bend and connects to the pull-out water outlet head through the rotating shaft 20, the rotating shaft sleeve 5, and the opening 22 on the side wall of the sleeve 14. The other end is connected to the first water outlet passage 8 and is equipped with a counterweight. That is, in this embodiment, the first water outlet mechanism 3 can be rotated and adjusted along the Z-axis, and the water outlet head can be pulled out.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second water outlet mechanism 4 can rotate along the axis of the outer body 1 and also rotate along the radial axis of the outer body 1. Specifically, the second water outlet mechanism 4 includes a second rotating seat 25 rotatably connected to the base 13 about the Z-axis, a third rotating seat 26 rotatably connected to the second rotating seat 25 about the X-axis, a water outlet assembly connected to the third rotating seat 26, and a switch valve 11 controlling the opening and closing of the water passage of the water outlet assembly; the second rotating seat 25 and the base 13 are radially sealed by a seventh sealing ring, forming an annular water outlet cavity 30 that connects the second channel 7 and the water outlet channel of the water outlet assembly. The water outlet assembly includes a main body and a water outlet structural component connected to the outer wall of the main body, which can form water spray; the main body is provided with a main body water outlet channel 27 that communicates with the annular water outlet cavity 30; a water outlet cavity 28 that communicates with the main body water outlet channel 27 is formed between the water outlet structural component and the outer wall of the main body; the switch valve 11 is provided on the end face of the main body and is used to control the opening and closing of the main body water outlet channel 27 and the water outlet cavity 28.

[0039] Furthermore, the water outlet assembly is used to form a flat showerhead, cup washer, or waterfall water.

[0040] The following explains the two water outlet modes of this dual-outlet faucet:

[0041] When the handle 21 is turned to rotate the valve core 2 through the rotating shaft 20 to open the outlet of the valve core 2, the water flows into the main water outlet passage 18, then into the first water outlet passage 8, then into the water outlet pipe 10, and then out from the pull-out water head, thus realizing the water outlet of the first water outlet mechanism 3.

[0042] Then, when the switching valve 11 is controlled to connect the main water outlet channel 27 and the water outlet chamber 28, the switching valve 19, under the action of water pressure balance, will close the connection between the main water outlet passage 18 and the first water outlet passage 8, and connect the main water outlet passage 18 with the second water outlet passage 9. At this time, the water flows from the main water outlet passage 18 into the second water outlet passage 9, then into the second channel 7, then into the annular water outlet chamber 30, flows into the main water outlet channel 27, and finally flows out from the water outlet chamber 28.

[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, the switching valve 19 may not be necessary, and the valve core 2 may have two states: open and closed. That is, when the valve core 2 is in the closed state, the second water outlet passage 9 is connected, and the second water outlet mechanism 4 is controlled to output water through the switching valve 11; when the valve core 2 is in the open state, the second water outlet passage 9 is closed, the first water outlet passage 8 is connected, and thus the first water outlet mechanism 3 outputs water. Furthermore, the valve core 2 may also have three states: closed and two open positions. That is, when the valve core 2 is closed, no water is output from the outlet of the valve core 2; when the valve core 2 is in the first open position, the first water outlet passage 8 is connected, and thus the first water outlet mechanism 3 outputs water; when the valve core 2 is in the second open position, the second water outlet passage 9 is connected, and the second water outlet mechanism 4 is controlled to output water through the switching valve 11.

[0044] This application forms two water paths by setting up the first channel 6 and the second channel 7 in a concentric manner. While realizing two modes of water output, it greatly reduces the external size of the main body and makes the overall appearance more concise. At the same time, when the valve core 2 is the temperature regulating valve core 2, it switches to the second water output mechanism 4 to output water, without the need to readjust the water output temperature as in the traditional dual water output valve core 2.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
