[0019] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0020] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a faucet, including a faucet body 100, a bend 200, a water outlet component 300, a first water outlet pipe 400 for functional water flow, and a second water outlet pipe 500 for tap water flow.

[0022] One end of the bend 200 is rotatably mounted on the faucet body 100. The first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 pass through the bend 200. The water outlet assembly 300 is located at the other end of the bend 200 and has a first water outlet path 310 connected to the first water outlet pipe 400 and a second water outlet path 320 connected to the second water outlet pipe 500.

[0023] One end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and one end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly 300, and the other end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are rotatably connected to the faucet body 100.

[0024] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 As shown, one end of the bend 200 is rotatably mounted on the faucet body 100, allowing the user to rotate the bend 200 to drive the water outlet component 300 to rotate, thereby switching the position of the water outlet component 300 and changing the outlet position of the water discharged through the water outlet component 300 to meet the user's needs.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water outlet assembly 300 is located at the other end of the bend 200 and has a first water outlet path 310 and a second water outlet path 320. When the user needs to use functional water, the first water outlet pipe 400 and the first water outlet path 310 can be connected, and the second water outlet pipe 500 and the second water outlet path 320 can be disconnected. At this time, the functional water flows in through the first water outlet pipe 400 and continues to flow to the first water outlet path 310, and finally is discharged through the first water outlet path 310. The specific flow of the functional water can be referred to Figure 2 As shown by the dashed arrow in the image.

[0026] When a user needs to use tap water, the connection between the first outlet pipe 400 and the first outlet flow path 310 can be disconnected, while the connection between the second outlet pipe 500 and the second outlet flow path 320 can be established. Tap water then flows into the second outlet pipe 500 and continues to the second outlet flow path 320 before finally being discharged. The specific flow of tap water can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown by the dashed arrow in the image.

[0027] In practice, the faucet can be controlled to dispense either functional water or tap water by means of a control valve inside the faucet body 100. The specific structure and control principle of the control valve can be found in the description of relevant technologies, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0028] For example, the functional water can be purified water, that is, tap water can be purified by setting a water purifier on the first water outlet pipe 400 to obtain purified water, and finally the purified water obtained after treatment flows along the first water outlet pipe 400 to the first water outlet path 310 and is finally discharged for user use.

[0029] For example, functional water can also be soda water or hot water, etc. Specifically, a soda water device can be set up to generate soda water or a temperature control valve can be set up to control the temperature of hot water, etc., according to actual needs.

[0030] In this embodiment, one end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and one end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly 300, and the other end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are rotatably connected to the faucet body 100. That is, the entire first water outlet pipe 400 and the entire second water outlet pipe 500 can rotate relative to the water outlet assembly 300 and the faucet body 100. In other words, the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 can rotate freely to prevent the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 from "locking up" when the user rotates the bend 200, thereby ensuring the normal use of the faucet.

[0031] In practice, the faucet may include not only the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 mentioned above, but may also include other water outlet pipes as needed.

[0032] The faucet provided in this embodiment includes a faucet body 100, a bend 200, a water outlet assembly 300, a first water outlet pipe 400 for functional water flow, and a second water outlet pipe 500 for tap water flow. One end of the bend 200 is rotatably mounted on the faucet body 100. The first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 pass through the bend 200. The water outlet assembly 300 is located at the other end of the bend 200 and has a first water outlet path 310 communicating with the first water outlet pipe 400 and a second water outlet path 320 communicating with the second water outlet pipe 500. Thus, functional water can be discharged through the first water outlet pipe 400 and the first water outlet path 310 when functional water is needed, and tap water can be discharged through the second water outlet pipe 500 and the second water outlet path 320 when tap water is needed, thereby meeting the user's needs. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the faucet is rotatably connected to the water outlet assembly 300 at one end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 at one end, and rotatably connected to the faucet body 100 at the other end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 at the other end. This allows the faucet to rotate freely when the user rotates the bend 200 to switch the water outlet position, as the two ends of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the two ends of the second water outlet pipe 500 are respectively engaged with the rotation of the water outlet assembly 300 and the faucet body 100. This prevents the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 from "locking up" and ensures the normal use of the faucet.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a first rotating fitting part 410 is provided at one end of the first water outlet pipe 400, a second rotating fitting part 510 is provided at one end of the second water outlet pipe 500, and a first rotating connector 600 is provided on the water outlet assembly 300. The first rotating connector 600 is rotatably connected to the first rotating fitting part 410 and the second rotating fitting part 510 respectively.

[0034] In other words, by providing a first rotating connector 600 on the water outlet assembly 300, the first rotating connector 600 can be rotatably connected to both the first rotating mating part 410 and the second rotating mating part 510. This allows the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 to be rotatably mated with the water outlet assembly 300 through a single first rotating connector 600. This simplifies the assembly process, reduces costs, and improves the regularity and simplicity of the entire faucet's internal structure.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the water outlet assembly 300 facing the bend 200 is provided with an installation cavity 330 with an opening facing the bend 200, and the outer wall of the water outlet assembly 300 is provided with a through hole 340 communicating with the installation cavity 330.

[0036] One end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and one end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are both inserted into the mounting cavity 330 through an opening. A portion of the first rotating connector 600 extends into the mounting cavity 330 through a through hole 340 and is rotatably connected to the first rotating mating part 410 and the second rotating mating part 510.

[0037] In specific implementation, to facilitate the rotational connection between the first water outlet pipe 400 and the water outlet assembly 300, as well as the rotational connection between the second water outlet pipe 500 and the water outlet assembly 300, a mounting cavity 330 with an opening facing the bend 200 can be provided on the side of the water outlet assembly 300 facing the bend 200, i.e., the side facing the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500. One end of the first water outlet pipe 400 and one end of the second water outlet pipe 500 are inserted into the mounting cavity 330 through the opening and are located within the mounting cavity. A first rotating engagement part 410 is provided on the outer wall of the first water outlet pipe 400 inside the mounting cavity 330, and a second rotating engagement part 510 is provided on the outer wall of the second water outlet pipe 500 inside the mounting cavity 330. A first rotating connector 600 is located outside the mounting cavity 330 and partially extends into the mounting cavity 330 through the perforation 340, and is rotatably connected to the first rotating engagement part 410 and the second rotating engagement part 510 respectively, thereby realizing the rotating engagement between the first water outlet pipe 400, the second water outlet pipe 500 and the water outlet assembly 300.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first rotating connector 600 is disposed outside the mounting cavity 330, which avoids occupying the space inside the mounting cavity 330 and affecting the arrangement of the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500. In order for the first rotating connector 600 to be rotatably connected with the first rotating mating part 410 and the second rotating mating part 510, a perforation 340 needs to be provided on the outer wall of the water outlet assembly 300, so that part of the first rotating connector 600 extends into the mounting cavity 330 through the perforation 340 and is rotatably connected with the first rotating mating part 410 and the second rotating mating part 510 respectively.

[0039] For example, the inner contour shape of the perforation 340 can be set to match the outer contour shape of the part of the first rotating connector 600 that it mates with, so as to ensure that the part of the first rotating connector 600 can be smoothly inserted while avoiding the perforation 340 being set too large and affecting the structural strength, and avoiding the problem of foreign objects entering the mounting cavity 330 due to partial leakage of the perforation 340.

[0040] In a specific implementation, the first water outlet pipe 400 includes a first water outlet pipe body 420 and a first connector 430 disposed at one end of the first water outlet pipe body 420. The first water outlet pipe body 420 is usually a flexible hose. In order to facilitate the rotatable connection between the first water outlet pipe body 420 and the water outlet assembly 300, the first connector 430 can be inserted into one end of the first water outlet pipe body 420. The first connector 430 has a large hardness, so it is convenient to set a first rotatable mating part 410 on the first connector 430 and rotatably connect it to the first rotatable connector 600.

[0041] Similarly, the second water outlet pipe 500 includes a second water outlet pipe body 530 and a second connector 540 disposed at one end of the second water outlet pipe body 530. The second water outlet pipe body 530 is usually a flexible hose. In order to facilitate the rotational connection between the second water outlet pipe body 530 and the water outlet assembly 300, the second connector 540 can be inserted into one end of the second water outlet pipe body 530. The second connector 540 has a large rigidity, so it is convenient to set a second rotation mating part 510 on the second connector 540 to rotately connect with the first rotational connector 600.

[0042] Specifically, the outer wall of the first connector 430 can be provided with a groove to accommodate the gasket 700, and the outer wall of the second connector 540 can also be provided with a groove to accommodate the gasket 700.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first rotating connector 600 includes a connector body 610 and at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620 disposed on the same side of the connector body 610. The at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620 are spaced apart along the direction from the first water outlet pipe 400 to the second water outlet pipe 500. The at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620 are rotatably connected to the corresponding first rotating engagement part 410 and / or second rotating engagement part 510.

[0044] In a specific implementation, at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620 are connected to the side of the connector body 610 near the first rotating engagement portion 410 and the second rotating engagement portion 510. All snap-fit ​​arms 620 extend into the mounting cavity 330 and are rotatably connected to the corresponding first rotating engagement portion 410 and second rotating engagement portion 510.

[0045] For example, when the card arm 620 is set as follows Figure 6As shown in the diagram, at this time, one of the two outer locking arms 620 is rotatably connected to the corresponding one of the first rotating engagement part 410 and the second rotating engagement part 510, and the other of the two locking arms 620 is locked to the corresponding other one of the first rotating engagement part 410 and the second rotating engagement part 510. The middle locking arm 620 is rotatably connected to both the first rotating engagement part 410 and the second rotating engagement part 510, thereby achieving the function of reliably rotatably connecting both the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 to the water outlet assembly 300 using the three locking arms 620.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first rotating fitting part 410 is a first annular groove extending circumferentially along the first water outlet pipe 400, and the second rotating fitting part 510 is a second annular groove extending circumferentially along the second water outlet pipe 500.

[0047] Of the at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620, the middle snap-fit ​​arm 620 is located on the side of the first annular groove and the second annular groove that are close to each other and snaps into the first annular groove and the second annular groove respectively; the two snap-fit ​​arms 620 located on the side of the first annular groove and the second annular groove that are far from each other are located on the side of the first annular groove and the second annular groove respectively, and one of the two snap-fit ​​arms 620 on the outside snaps into the first annular groove, and the other of the two snap-fit ​​arms 620 on the outside snaps into the second annular groove.

[0048] In specific implementation, when the first rotating engagement part 410 is a first annular groove, the second rotating engagement part 510 is a second annular groove, and three locking arms 620 are provided, one of the two outer locking arms 620 engages with the side of the first annular groove away from the second annular groove, the other of the two locking arms 620 engages with the side of the second annular groove away from the first annular groove, and the middle locking arm 620 engages with the side of the first annular groove near the second annular groove, and simultaneously engages with the side of the second annular groove near the first annular groove, that is, the middle locking arm 620 engages with the side of the first annular groove near the second annular groove. The connecting arms 620 are respectively engaged with the first annular groove and the second annular groove, realizing the sharing of the connecting arms 620 to save the number of connecting arms 620. This enables the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 to be reliably engaged and fixed on the water outlet assembly 300 by using three connecting arms 620. At this time, the first water outlet pipe 400 and the second water outlet pipe 500 cannot move axially relative to the water outlet assembly 300, that is, axial limitation is achieved, but they can rotate around the circumference of the water outlet assembly 300 to avoid the bend 200 from "breaking" when rotating.

[0049] Alternatively, in other implementations, four snap-fit ​​arms 620 can be set, in which two adjacent snap-fit ​​arms 620 are snapped onto opposite sides of the first annular groove, and the other two adjacent snap-fit ​​arms 620 are snapped onto opposite sides of the second annular groove, thereby achieving axial limiting and circumferential rotation design between the first water outlet pipe 400, the second water outlet pipe 500 and the water outlet assembly 300.

[0050] For example, the cross-sections of the first annular groove and the second annular groove can be circular or square.

[0051] For example, the connector body 610 and at least three snap-fit ​​arms 620 are integrally formed to save manufacturing steps and improve the structural strength of the entire first rotating connector 600.

[0052] For example, when there are three snap-fit ​​arms 620, the first rotating connector 600 can be arranged as follows: Figure 6 The “E” shaped structure shown.

[0053] In practice, when there are three locking arms 620, the middle locking arm 620 is a shared locking arm 620, which can simultaneously lock with the first annular groove and the second annular groove. Therefore, the size of the middle locking arm 620 can be set to be larger so that it has enough size to lock into the first annular groove and the second annular groove respectively.

[0054] For example, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the two side snap-fit ​​arms 620 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the middle snap-fit ​​arm 620, so as to make the structure more regular and facilitate processing and manufacturing.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connection points between the snap-fit ​​arms 620 on both sides and the connector body 610 are smoothly transitioned to avoid stress concentration at the connection points and improve service life.

[0056] Furthermore, when three snap-fit ​​arms 620 are provided, three perforations 340 are also provided on the outer wall of the water outlet assembly 300, so that the three snap-fit ​​arms 620 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 330 through the corresponding perforations 340 and rotatably connected to the corresponding first rotating engagement part 410 and second rotating engagement part 510 respectively. The specific number of perforations 340 can be set according to the number of snap-fit ​​arms 620.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, along the axial direction of the first water outlet pipe 400, the faucet body 100 is provided with through mounting holes 110 on both sides, the first water outlet pipe 400 passes through the mounting holes 110 and rotates with the mounting holes 110.

[0058] In practice, a portion of the first outlet pipe 400 is located outside the bend 200 and passes through the mounting holes 110 on both sides of the faucet body 100 before exiting to connect to an external water supply structure. Specifically, the end of the portion of the first outlet pipe 400 located outside the faucet body 100 can be equipped with an adapter to connect to the first inlet pipe 140 and the second inlet pipe 150 respectively. The first inlet pipe 140 can be a purified water or hot water inlet pipe, and the second inlet pipe 150 can be a soda water inlet pipe, so that either the first inlet pipe 140 or the second inlet pipe 150 can be used for water intake according to actual needs.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the other end of the first water outlet pipe 400 extends out of the faucet body 100 after passing through the mounting holes 110 on both sides of the faucet body 100, as long as there is a certain gap between the first water outlet pipe 400 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 110, a rotational fit with the mounting hole 110 can be achieved, thereby realizing a rotational connection with the faucet body 100.

[0060] Alternatively, in other implementations, a rolling bearing can be installed in the mounting hole 110, and the first water outlet pipe 400 can be inserted into the rolling bearing, which can also achieve rotational engagement between the first water outlet pipe 400 and the mounting hole 110.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the faucet body 100 is provided with a valve structure 120 having an inner cavity. The side of the valve structure 120 facing the bend 200 is provided with a through hole 121 for the second water outlet pipe 500 to extend into the inner cavity. The other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 is provided with a third rotating engagement part 520, and the valve structure 120 is provided with a second rotating connector 130 that is rotatably connected to the third rotating engagement part 520.

[0062] In specific implementation, the rotational connection structure between the other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 and the faucet body 100 is as follows: the faucet body 100 itself is provided with a valve structure 120 for controlling the faucet's switch or regulating the water temperature. The specific structural principle is described in related technologies. In this embodiment, a through hole 121 is provided on the valve structure 120. After the other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 passes through the through hole 121 into the inner cavity, it is connected to the third rotational mating part 520 on the second water outlet pipe 500 through the second rotational connector 130, thereby realizing the rotational mating between the other end of the second water outlet pipe 500 and the faucet body 100.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the third rotating mating part 520 includes a third annular groove extending circumferentially along the second water outlet pipe 500, and the outer wall of the valve structure 120 is provided with a clearance hole 122 communicating with the inner cavity. A portion of the second rotating connector 130 extends into the inner cavity through the clearance hole 122 and is rotatably connected to the third annular groove.

[0064] In practice, to avoid the second rotating connector 130 occupying the space of the inner cavity, the second rotating connector 130 is placed outside the inner cavity. In order to enable the second rotating connector 130 to rotate and engage with the third annular groove, a clearance hole 122 is provided on the outer wall of the valve structure 120. Part of the second rotating connector 130 enters the inner cavity through the clearance hole 122 and rotates and engages with the third annular groove. This can restrict the second water outlet pipe 500 from moving along its axial direction but not restrict the second water outlet pipe 500 from rotating circumferentially.

[0065] For example, the cross-section of the third annular groove can be circular or square.

[0066] In a specific implementation, the second water outlet pipe 500 includes a second water outlet pipe body 530 and a third connector 550 disposed at the other end of the second water outlet pipe body 530. The second water outlet pipe body 530 is usually a flexible hose. In order to facilitate the rotational connection between the second water outlet pipe body 530 and the valve structure 120, the third connector 550 can be inserted at the other end of the second water outlet pipe body 530. The third connector 550 has a large rigidity, so it is convenient to set a third rotation mating part 520 on the third connector 550 to rotately connect with the second rotational connector 130.

[0067] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the clearance hole 122 includes at least two sub-clearance holes 123 arranged radially spaced along the second water outlet pipe 500, and the second rotating connector 130 includes at least two pins 131, which extend into the inner cavity through the corresponding sub-clearance holes 123 and are engaged in the third annular groove.

[0068] In a specific implementation, two pins 131 can be set. The two pins 131 extend into the inner cavity through the two sub-avoidance holes 123 and are engaged on opposite sides of the third annular groove, thereby restricting the second water outlet pipe 500 from moving along its axial direction but not restricting the second water outlet pipe 500 from rotating circumferentially.

[0069] For example, the pin 131 can be a pin or a screw, etc.

[0070] In addition, the valve structure 120 specifically includes a valve core 124, a valve core seat 125 connected to the valve core 124, a valve core cover 126, a semi-circular cover 128, etc., and an clearance hole 122 can be provided on the valve core seat 125. A handle 127 for controlling the valve core 124 is connected to the valve core 124.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the water outlet assembly 300 includes a water distributor 350 and an aerator structure 360; the aerator structure 360 ​​is connected to the bend 200 and has a first water outlet 361 and a second water outlet 362.

[0072] The water distributor 350 is located on the side of the aerator structure 360 ​​facing the bend 200, and the water distributor 350 has a first flow channel communicating with the first water outlet pipe 400 and a second flow channel communicating with the second water outlet pipe 500. The first flow channel communicates with the first water splash outlet 361 to form a first water outlet flow path 310, and the second flow channel communicates with the second water splash outlet 362 to form a second water outlet flow path 320.

[0073] When functional water is needed, it can flow into the first outlet pipe 400, then flow into the first flow channel and be discharged through the first water spray outlet 361. The first water spray outlet 361 can be a soft water outlet or a shower water outlet.

[0074] When tap water is needed, it can flow into the second outlet pipe 500, then flow into the second flow channel and be discharged through the second water outlet 362, which can be a soft water outlet.

[0075] Specifically, a second water outlet 362 can be set outside the first water outlet 361, that is, functional foaming water comes out from the middle of the aerator, and tap water comes out from the outside.

[0076] For example, the second water outlet 362 includes a plurality of arrayed second water outlet holes, and the first water outlet 361 includes a plurality of arrayed first water outlet holes.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the aerator structure 360 ​​includes an aerator 363 and a locking nut 364 sleeved on the outside of the aerator 363. The locking nut 364 is threadedly connected to the bend 200 and to the aerator 363. That is, the inner wall of the bend 200 is threaded and the outer wall of the locking nut 364 is threaded, thereby realizing the connection between the bend 200 and the locking nut 364. The inner wall of the locking nut 364 is threaded and the outer wall of the aerator 363 is threaded, thereby realizing the connection between the aerator 363 and the locking nut 364, and clamping the distributor 350 between the bend 200 and the aerator 363.

[0079] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
