Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a shower faucet, and more particularly to a push-button switch valve core for a shower faucet. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology, Chinese patent 202023019949.6, describes a shower faucet, including a base with a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet, and a mixing valve. The base contains two check valve mounting chambers, each equipped with a check valve. The hot water inlet is connected to one of the check valve inlets, and the cold water inlet is connected to the other. The check valve outlet is connected to the mixing valve inlet. The base also has a check valve mounting port located within each mounting chamber, allowing the check valve to enter and exit. The check valve has a threaded section on its outer circumference, and a threaded hole matching the threaded section is located within the mounting chamber. This design, with the check valves installed inside the faucet, is simple to install, easy to replace, aesthetically pleasing, and reduces the need for external equipment, thus lowering manufacturing costs. However, the problem is that the check valves are required, and the hot and cold water inlets are affected by pressure.
