Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of faucets, and in particular to a multifunctional faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most faucets on the market still primarily offer three basic water dispensing functions: cold water, hot water, and purified water. While these meet basic needs such as daily washing and drinking, as living standards improve and water usage scenarios become more diverse, users are placing higher demands on the functionality, convenience, and user experience of faucets. While retaining the core functions of providing both hot and cold water and purified water, people are beginning to expect faucets to offer more diversified water dispensing modes. However, the relatively simple internal water circuit structure of traditional faucets limits the possibility of functional expansion, resulting in a limited range of water dispensing options that are difficult to match the water needs of modern households.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 10According to a first aspect of the present invention, a multi-functional faucet includes a base 100, a first switching valve 200, a second switching valve 300, and a water outlet assembly 400. The base 100 includes a main body 110, which is cylindrical and extends horizontally. An inlet interface assembly and an outlet interface assembly are provided in the middle of the main body 110. The main body 110 also has a first flow channel 111 extending along its extension direction. The main body 110 also has a plurality of side drain holes 112 communicating with the first flow channel 111. The side drain holes 112 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first flow channel 111. The first switching valve 200 is located at one end of the main body 110, and the second switching valve 300 is located at the other end of the main body 110. The water outlet assembly 400 is connected to the base 100 and also has separate... The system includes a first outlet 410, a second outlet 420, and a third outlet 430 connected to the water outlet interface assembly. The first flow channel 111 is connected to the water inlet interface assembly via a first switching valve 200. The main body 110 also includes a second flow channel 113 that connects the first outlet 410, the first switching valve 200, and the water inlet interface assembly; a third flow channel 114 that connects the second outlet 420, the second switching valve 300, and the water inlet interface assembly; and a fourth flow channel 115 that connects the third outlet 430 to the second switching valve 300 and the water inlet interface assembly. The first switching valve 200 controls the water to flow from the side drain hole 112 or the first outlet 410, and the second switching valve 300 controls the water to flow from the second outlet 420 or the third outlet 430. The main body 110 extends horizontally and is connected at both ends to the first switching valve 200 and the second switching valve 300, respectively. This allows the side drain holes 112 to be spaced horizontally, forming a waterfall-like water flow. It also provides sufficient space within the main body 110 for the first flow channel 111 to the fourth flow channel 115. The first switching valve 200 controls the water flow from the side drain holes 112 or the first water outlet 410, and the second switching valve 300 controls the water flow from the second water outlet 420 or the third water outlet 430. These water outlets can receive different functional waters through the water inlet interface assembly, thereby achieving at least four water flow modes, further expanding the function of the faucet and making it more convenient for users.

[0022] It is understood that both the first switching valve 200 and the second switching valve 300 are valve cores of existing technology, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Reference Figures 4 to 9 and Figure 13In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet interface assembly includes a fifth interface 125, a sixth interface 126 and an eighth interface 128. The fifth interface 125 and the sixth interface 126 are adjacent to and surround the eighth interface 128. The sixth interface 126, the first switching valve 200 and the fifth interface 125 are connected in sequence through the second flow channel 113. The fifth interface 125 can be connected to the eighth interface 128 through a pipe. The eighth interface 128 can be connected to the first water outlet 410. Specifically, the water inlet assembly can be located at the bottom of the middle area of ​​the main body 110, and the eighth interface 128 is located in the middle of the water inlet assembly. The eighth interface 128 is used to connect boiling water. It can be understood that the boiling water can be heated by the water boiler 510. The sixth interface 126 can be used to connect external cold water, which is then connected to the first switching valve 200 for control through the second flow channel 113. The first switching valve 200 outputs water to the fifth interface 125 through the second flow channel 113. The fifth interface 125 can be connected to the water boiler 510 through a pipe. The boiling water produced by the water boiler 510 is connected to the eighth interface 128 through a pipe, and the eighth interface 128 is then output from the first outlet 410 through the water outlet pipe assembly 400. It can be understood that the second flow channel 113 can first be drilled upwards from the sixth interface 126 and the fifth interface 125 to form a vertical channel, and then drilled horizontally from the side of the main body 110 near the first switching valve 200 according to the interface position of the first switching valve 200 to connect with the above-mentioned vertical channel.

[0024] In the above structure, the fifth interface 125 and the sixth interface 126 are located around the eighth interface 128, which can separate the boiling water inlet area of ​​the main body 110, thus making the outside of the seat 100 less likely to be scalded. Furthermore, the sixth interface 126, the first switching valve 200, and the fifth interface 125 only allow cold water to flow through them. The first switching valve 200 indirectly controls the start of the water boiler 510 by controlling the flow of cold water. The water boiler 510 can be started according to the flow of cold water. When the first switching valve 200 controls the sixth interface 126 to connect with the fifth interface 125, cold water can enter the water boiler 510. The water boiler 510 can heat and produce hot water input from the eighth interface 128. Therefore, the first switching valve 200 does not need to come into contact with boiling water. Firstly, heat will not be conducted to the first switching valve 200, causing the user to be scalded. Secondly, the valve does not need to handle boiling water, reducing usage requirements and making it less prone to damage.

[0025] Reference Figures 4 to 9 and Figure 13In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet assembly further includes a first interface 121 located circumferentially around the eighth interface 128. The first interface 121, the second switching valve 300, and the water outlet assembly are sequentially connected via a third flow channel 114, and the second switching valve 300 can control the connection between the first interface 121 and the second water outlet 420. Specifically, the first interface 121 can be located circumferentially around the eighth interface 128, and can also serve to block heat. The first interface 121 can be used to connect purified water. The purified water can be connected to an external water source, processed by the water purifier 540, and then input through the first interface 121. The third flow channel 114 can output the input purified water to the second water outlet 420 after passing through the second switching valve 300. Understandably, the third flow channel 114 can be drilled upwards from the first interface 121 to form a vertical channel, and then drilled horizontally from the side of the main body 110 near the second switching valve 300 at the corresponding interface position of the second switching valve 300 to connect with the aforementioned vertical channel, thereby connecting the first interface 121 to the first switching valve 200. Similarly, the output of the second switching valve 300 to the water outlet assembly is connected by the third flow channel 114 formed by drilling. The second switching valve 300 can control the output of pure water from the second water outlet 420.

[0026] Reference Figures 4 to 9 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet interface assembly further includes a fourth interface 124 disposed around the eighth interface 128, and a fifth flow channel 117 is also provided in the main body 110. The fourth interface 124, the second switching valve 300 and the third flow channel 114 located between the water outlet interface assembly and the second switching valve 300 are connected sequentially through the fifth flow channel 117, and the second switching valve 300 can control the fourth interface 124 to communicate with the second water outlet 420. Specifically, the fourth interface 124 can be located around the eighth interface 128, and can also serve to block heat. The fourth interface 124 can be used to connect sparkling water, which can be prepared by the sparkling water machine 530 and the carbon dioxide in the gas tank 520. The fourth interface 124 is connected to the second switching valve 300 through a fifth flow channel 117 manufactured by drilling. After the second switching valve 300 outputs, it can be combined with the third flow channel 114 that outputs pure water, so that sparkling water can be output from the second outlet 420. In actual use, the second switching valve 300 can be rotated to switch between pure water and sparkling water output. Since both sparkling water and pure water are drinking water, they can be combined and output through a common pipe, which simplifies the pipeline structure, reduces the volume occupied, and facilitates the layout of multiple pipelines.

[0027] It is conceivable that, to facilitate the manufacture of the aforementioned merged pipes, a groove can be opened on the rear side of the main body 110, and holes can be drilled along the width direction of the main body 110 from the groove to merge the flow channels extending along the length direction of the main body 110. Then, holes can be drilled at the locations where the grooves correspond to the water outlet interface components for connection, so as to connect the flow channels. After processing, a cover plate of a corresponding shape can be placed over the surface of the groove to hide it.

[0028] Reference Figures 4 to 9 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet assembly further includes a second interface 122 and a third interface 123 located circumferentially around the eighth interface 128. The second interface 122 and the third interface 123 are respectively input to the second switching valve 300 through a fourth flow channel 115. The second switching valve 300 outputs to the water outlet assembly through the fourth flow channel 115, and the second switching valve 300 can control the connection between the second interface 122 and the third interface 123 and the third water outlet 430. Specifically, the second interface 122 and the third interface 123 are located circumferentially around the eighth interface 128, and can also serve to block heat. The second interface 122 can be used to connect hot water, and the third interface 123 can be used to connect cold water. The second switching valve 300 may have a mixing valve structure. The second interface 122 and the third interface 123 are connected to the second switching valve 300 through a drilled fourth flow channel 115 for mixing. The second switching valve 300 can adjust the mixing ratio; the specific adjustment structure is prior art and will not be described in detail here. After the second switching valve 300 mixes and adjusts the water, it outputs the water through the outlet interface assembly to the third outlet 430, thus achieving conventional hot and cold water output.

[0029] Reference Figures 4 to 9 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet assembly further includes a seventh interface 127 disposed circumferentially around the eighth interface 128. The seventh interface 127 is connected to the first flow channel 111 via a first switching valve 200. Specifically, the seventh interface 127 can be used to connect a water pipe for waterfall-style water outlet. The first switching valve 200 can control the connection and disconnection between the seventh interface 127 and the first flow channel 111, thereby controlling the side drain hole 112 to output waterfall-style water. It is understood that the first flow channel 111 can be drilled along the extension direction of the main body 110, and the first switching valve 200 can rotate to switch between boiling water outlet and waterfall-style side drain.

[0030] Reference Figures 11 to 12In some embodiments of this utility model, the main body 110 is provided with an upward-facing connection hole 116, the water outlet assembly includes a cylindrical connector 130, the connector 130 is inserted into the connection hole 116, the water outlet pipe assembly 400 includes a first pipe 440, a second pipe 450, a third pipe 460 and a water outlet head 470, the connector 130 is provided with a first water outlet channel 131 that can communicate with the eighth interface 128 and a second water outlet channel 132 that can communicate with the third channel 114, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 130 and the connection hole 116 have a space that allows communication with the fourth interface 128. The third water outlet channel 133 is connected to the flow channel 115. One end of the first pipe 440 is connected to the base 100, and the other end is connected to the water outlet head 470. The water outlet head 470 is provided with a first water outlet 410, a second water outlet 420, and a third water outlet 430. The first pipe 440 is provided with a second pipe 450 that connects the first water outlet channel 131 and the first water outlet 410, and a third pipe 460 that connects the second water outlet channel 132 and the second water outlet 420. The cavity in the first pipe 440 connects the third water outlet channel 133 and the third water outlet 430. Specifically, the connection hole 116 is positioned opposite to the water inlet interface assembly and faces upward. After the connector 130 is inserted into the connection hole 116, it can be used to connect with the first pipe 440, the second pipe 450, and the third pipe 460 of the water outlet pipe assembly 400. The first pipe 440 is the external pipe of the faucet. The second pipe 450 and the third pipe 460 are both small pipes set inside the first pipe 440. The connector 130 is provided with a first water outlet channel 131 and a second water outlet channel 132. The first water outlet channel 131 and the second pipe 450 are used to output boiling water, and the second water outlet channel 132 and the third pipe 460 are used to output purified water or sparkling water. The flow rate requirements of the above-mentioned water outlet types are relatively small and can meet the usage needs. The demand for hot and cold water flow is large. The gap between the outer peripheral wall of the connector 130 and the connecting hole 116 can form a third water outlet channel 133 with a large flow. The third water outlet channel 133 is connected to the first pipe 440 with a larger diameter, which can meet the demand for large flow of conventional hot and cold water. In addition, the above three pipes and water outlets are all independently separated and will not contaminate each other.

Specifically, both the first sealing element 134 and the second sealing element 135 can be configured as sealing rings. The first sealing element 134 can be located near the bottom of the connector 130. The bottom wall of the connecting hole 116 communicates with the eighth interface 128. The side wall of the connecting hole 116 is provided with a through hole that communicates with the third flow channel 114 and a through hole that communicates with the fourth flow channel 115.
