[0002] A faucet is a switch used to control the flow of water.

[0003] When using existing faucets, the water flow is manually controlled by turning the valve stem to the appropriate position. The drawback of this method is that the water flow can be easily changed by touching it, which is not conducive to users accurately using a fixed amount of water.

[0004] To solve the above problems, a faucet with multi-level adjustment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a faucet with multi-level adjustment, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] A faucet with multi-position adjustment includes a faucet body, the faucet body including an integrally formed valve tube and a tube body, and a valve core is provided inside the valve tube.

[0008] The valve core includes a sealing cover that is fixed and sealed to the valve tube. A spherical stop groove is provided on the outer wall of the top protrusion of the sealing cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of this utility model more clearly, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a faucet with multi-position adjustment, including a faucet body 1. The faucet body 1 includes an integrally formed valve tube 102 and a tube body 101. A valve core 103 is provided inside the valve tube 102. The valve core 103 includes a sealing cover 103c that is fixed and sealed to the valve tube 102. A spherical position groove 103d is provided on the outer wall of the top protrusion of the sealing cover 103c. A support column 103b is rotatably and sealed inside the sealing cover 103c. A valve cover 2 is detachably installed directly above the support column 103b. The valve cover 2 includes a valve cap 201. A position lever 204 is welded and fixed in the inner wall of the valve cap 201. A position ball 204a is movably installed inside one end of the position lever 204.

[0027] In the above structure, the protruding structure on the top of the sealing cover 103c is an integral structure with the sealing cover 103c, and a sealing ring is provided around the support column 103b to prevent water leakage.

[0028] The gear shift ball 204a is slidably limited to the spherical gear shift groove 103d. A spring 204b is pressed between the bottom of the gear shift ball 204a and the inner wall of the gear shift lever 204. Two-fifths of the gear shift ball 204a is exposed outside the gear shift lever 204. This part is slidably locked with the inner cavity of the spherical gear shift groove 103d to achieve the limit. The spring 204b provides a compressive force of 1-2N. When the torque of the valve cap 201 exceeds this compressive force, the gear shift ball 204a compresses the spring 204b and deforms, and then slides away from the spherical gear shift groove 103d to the next spherical sliding groove.

[0029] The top of the support column 103b is integrally formed with a spline shaft 103a, and a spline sleeve 203 is fixed in the inner wall of the valve cap 201. The spline shaft 103a and the spline sleeve 203 are connected by a spline. The spline connection method improves the operational stability of the valve cap 201.

[0030] The top of the valve cap 201 is provided with a fixing screw 202 that is connected to the internal thread of the spline shaft 103a. The bottom of the support column 103b is welded with a ball valve 103e. The ball valve 103e fits against the inner wall of the valve tube 102. The ball valve 103e has a through hole inside.

[0031] A position label 102a corresponding to the spherical position groove 103d is formed on the outer wall of the valve pipe 102. The operating handle on the outer wall of the valve cover 2 is aligned with the position label 102a. The rotation angle of the support column 103b is 0-90°.

[0032] In the above structure, the valve cap 201 is opened by rotating counterclockwise, while the gear lever 204 and the gear ball 204a slide and adjust within the spherical gear groove 103d. The external operating handle corresponds to the gear label 102a, which in turn corresponds to the internal spherical gear groove 103d, allowing the user to intuitively adjust the water flow. The gear label 102a is aligned with the number of spherical gear grooves 103d, and several of them are provided. The spherical gear grooves 103d are only provided on the outer side wall of the support column 103b.

[0033] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0034] When using this device, turn the valve cap 201. The valve cap 201 drives the spline shaft 103a and the support column 103b to rotate inside the sealing cover 103c through the spline sleeve 203. The support column 103b drives the ball valve 103e to rotate inside the valve pipe 102. The water flow is controlled by adjusting the opening size through the through hole on the ball valve 103e.

[0035] When the valve cap 201 rotates, the stop lever 204 located in the inner wall also rotates synchronously. The stop lever 204 carries the stop ball 204a at its end and slides and changes position in the spherical stop groove 103d. Each time it passes through a spherical stop groove 103d, the valve rod on the outer wall of the valve cap 201 corresponds to a stop label 102a, which can both indicate the current water flow of the pipe 101 and provide a relative limiting force for the valve cap 201 to prevent accidental changes in the water flow.

[0036] The above structure allows users to accurately control the water flow when using the faucet, thus improving the user experience.

[0037] The above are merely further embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application.
