[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a button-operated water diversion device includes a body 1, a spring pin 2, a central plug assembly 3, and a button 4.

[0034] The main body 1 is provided with a water inlet L, a first water outlet L1, and a second water outlet L2. The main body 1 includes a housing 11 and a water channel mandrel 12 disposed within the housing 11. The water channel mandrel 12 includes the aforementioned water inlet L, first water outlet L1, and second water outlet L2, as well as cavity walls 121 separating each water channel. The housing 11 is also provided with a faceplate assembly 13 and an aerator assembly 14, which are respectively connected to the first water outlet L1 and the second water outlet L2. The aerator assembly 14 includes a gasket 141, an aerator 142, and a pressure ring 143.

[0035] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic pin 2 includes a first spring 21 and a positioning pin 22. The positioning pin 22 is provided with a first smooth inclined surface 221 and two symmetrically distributed guide sliders 222, and also has a countersunk hole 223 for installing the first spring 21.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the central plug assembly 3 is located between the inlet water passage L, the first outlet water passage L1, and the second outlet water passage L2. The central plug assembly 3 has a first position A, a second position B, and a third position C. Specifically, the central plug assembly 3 includes a central shaft 31, a limiting block 32, and a movable block 33. The central shaft 31 is divided into a beginning end, a middle end, and a final end. The final end is provided with a first sealing ring 34 for blocking the first outlet water passage L1 or the second outlet water passage L2. In this embodiment, the first sealing ring is an O-ring. The middle end is provided with a second sealing ring 35 for sealing the second outlet water passage L2. In this embodiment, the second sealing ring is a Y-ring. The starting end is fixedly connected to button 4, and the ending end movably abuts against the cavity wall 121 of the water channel spindle 12 via a second spring 36. A cone-shaped body 37 is coaxially provided between the starting end and the middle end of the central shaft 31. The cone-shaped body 37 has a second smooth slope 371. A movable block 33 is provided between the outer axial direction of the cone-shaped body 37 and the limiting block 32. An annular groove 331 is provided on one side of the movable block 33, and a third spring 38 is provided on the inner side of the annular groove 331. The movable block 33 is also provided with a third smooth slope 332 and a reverse smooth slope 333. The aforementioned first smooth slope 221, second smooth slope 371 and third smooth slope 331 have the same tilt direction and tilt angle, while the reverse smooth slope 333 has the opposite tilt angle. Furthermore, the radial distance between the highest point of the second smooth slope 371 and the lowest point of the third smooth slope 331 relative to the central axis 31 is equal, and the radial distance between the lowest point of the reverse slope 333 and the outer surface of the limiting block 32 is equal. Here, the limiting block 32 is a columnar body coaxially arranged with the central axis 31.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, the center bolt assembly 3 is located inside a guide sleeve 5. The guide sleeve 5 has an open end 51 and a water inlet end 52. The side wall of the guide sleeve 5 has a water outlet 53. The guide sleeve 5 is located inside the water channel spindle 12. Its water inlet end 52 and the water channel spindle 12 form a water inlet 521. The water outlet 53 is connected to the second water outlet L2.

[0038] The guide sleeve 5 has a radially provided hole seat 54 at its open end 51. A positioning pin 22 and a first spring 21 are installed in the hole seat 54. A spring cover 55 is also provided on the hole seat 54 to fix the positioning pin 22 and the first spring 21 in the hole seat 54. Specifically, the hole seat 54 has a central hole 540 and guide grooves 541 distributed on both sides. The first smoothing inclined surface 221 of the positioning pin 22 extends out from the central hole 540, and the two guide sliders 222 of the positioning pin 22 are installed in the guide grooves 541.

[0039] Button 4 is linked to the center bolt assembly 3, and spring pin 2 is perpendicular to the center bolt assembly 3.

[0040] The working process of the above structure is as follows:

[0041] like Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, when the spring pin 2 is in the first position A of the central plug assembly 3, the water inlet L is connected to the first water outlet L1. At this time, the second spring 36 is in a naturally released state, and the water outlet device dispenses the first functional water. When the button 4 is pressed, the central plug assembly 3 slides to the right relative to the spring pin 2, and the first smooth slope 221 on the spring pin 2 moves to the left relative to the second smooth slope 371 of the cone 37, and is then limited to the second position B. At this time, the second spring 36 is in a compressed and energy-storing state, the water inlet L is connected to the second water outlet L2, and the water outlet device dispenses the second functional water, as shown. Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown; press button 4 again, the center bolt assembly 3 continues to move to the right, the first smooth slope 221 on the spring pin 2 moves to the left relative to the third smooth slope 332 on the movable block 33, and after reaching the highest point, it moves along the reverse slope 333 to the third position C, as shown. Figure 15 As shown, here, the second spring 36 is further compressed and stores energy, and the inlet water passage L and the second outlet water passage L2 remain connected. At this time, if the pressure on the button 4 is released, under the action of the restoring force of the second spring 36, the center bolt assembly 3 is pushed to the left, and the spring pin 2 moves to the right relative to the center bolt assembly 3 along the reverse sliding slope 333. At the same time, the movable block 33 compresses the third spring 38 and moves it to the right. Figure 16 As shown, after the spring pin 2 moves to the highest point of the movable block 33 and connects with the cone 37, it continues to move to the right relative to the central plug assembly 3 along the third smooth slope 332 until it moves down along the second smooth slope 371, resetting to the first position A. The water outlet device also resets to the first functional water state. This scheme drives the central plug assembly 3 to move through the button 3, and at the same time utilizes the spring pin 2 and the cooperation between each slope to realize the reciprocating movement of the central plug assembly 3, thereby realizing the circulation and diversion function of the water outlet device. The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to operate.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
