Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a faucet. More specifically, this utility model relates to a two-inlet, one-outlet faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Purified water is usually purified and filtered by a water purifier and then supplied through a water purifier faucet. The water purifier faucet is generally only used to supply purified water. This setting cannot effectively provide both purified water and raw water, which brings great inconvenience to users. In addition, the water purifier faucets currently in use generally use a rotary switch to control whether water is flowing out or not. The internal structure is complex, the cost is high, and it is not convenient for users to control and operate, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a two-inlet, one-outlet faucet that can provide both raw water and purified water. It uses a sliding switch to control the flow of water, simplifying the internal structure, reducing costs, and making it easier for users to operate and improve the user experience.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a two-inlet, one-outlet faucet, comprising a faucet body, wherein the faucet body is provided with a first inlet pipe, a second inlet pipe, an outlet, and a pair of switches, each switch comprising a housing that can slide relative to the faucet body, wherein one of the switches is connected to the outlet and the first inlet pipe respectively, and the housing corresponding to the switch can slide to open or close the switch to control the connection between the first inlet pipe and the outlet, and the other switch is connected to the outlet and the second inlet pipe respectively, and the housing corresponding to the switch can slide to open or close the switch to control the connection between the second inlet pipe and the outlet.

[0005] Furthermore, the housing is located above the faucet body, and the housing is provided with an operating part, which facilitates the housing to be pushed to achieve the sliding of the housing relative to the faucet body.

[0006] Furthermore, the operating part is a recessed portion formed by downward indentation from the top of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the switch includes a valve body with a valve cavity. The bottom of the valve cavity has an inlet channel and an outlet channel connected thereto. The inlet channel is used to connect to the first inlet pipe or the second inlet pipe. The outlet channel is connected to the outlet. A valve block is slidably disposed inside the valve cavity. The valve block is connected to an operating rod. The end of the operating rod away from the valve block is covered by the housing. The sliding of the housing causes the operating rod to swing. The swinging of the operating rod causes the valve block to slide relative to the valve cavity, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the inlet channel and the outlet channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the valve block is provided with a connecting cavity, which is connected to the water inlet channel. The connecting cavity slides together with the valve block. When the connecting cavity is connected to the water outlet channel, the switch is opened, and the water inlet channel, the connecting cavity, and the water outlet channel are connected in sequence.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixed seat is fixed between the valve block and the bottom of the valve cavity. The valve block can slide along the upper surface of the fixed seat. The fixed seat is provided with a first channel and a second channel. The first channel connects the connecting cavity and the water inlet channel, and the second channel connects the water outlet channel. When the valve block slides along the upper surface of the fixed seat, the switch is opened when the connecting cavity is connected to the second channel, and the water inlet channel, the first channel, the connecting cavity, the second channel, and the water outlet channel are connected in sequence. When the connecting cavity is not connected to the second channel, the switch is closed.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing cavity is recessed at the bottom of the valve chamber, and a sealing element is provided in the sealing cavity. The sealing element seals and abuts against the bottom of the sealing cavity and the bottom of the fixed seat, respectively. The sealing element is used to seal the connection between the water inlet channel and the first channel and to seal the connection between the second channel and the water outlet channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the valve body is provided with a valve cover for closing the valve cavity, the operating rod is hinged to the valve cover, and the operating rod is linked with the valve block.

[0012] Furthermore, the valve bodies of the pair of switches are integrally formed.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing has a fixing groove, and the end of the operating rod away from the valve block is adapted to be inserted into the fixing groove so that the housing slides and drives the operating rod to swing.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the faucet provided by this utility model can provide purified water through the first water inlet pipe and raw water through the second water inlet pipe, and water is discharged through the outlet. It can meet the switching supply of purified water and raw water. Furthermore, the faucet is controlled by a sliding switch, making it simpler and more convenient to operate, providing a better user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a two-inlet, one-outlet faucet, including a faucet body 1. The faucet body 1 is provided with a first inlet pipe 2, a second inlet pipe 3, an outlet 4, and a pair of switches 5. One switch 5 is connected to the first inlet pipe 2 and the outlet 4 respectively, and the switch 5 is used to control the on / off state between the first inlet pipe 2 and the outlet 4. The other switch 5 is connected to the second inlet pipe 3 and the outlet 4 respectively, and the switch 5 is used to control the on / off state between the second inlet pipe 3 and the outlet 4.

[0030] The first water inlet pipe 2 is used to supply purified water. When its corresponding switch 5 is turned on, purified water can flow out from the water outlet 4. The second water inlet pipe 3 is used to supply raw water. When its corresponding switch 5 is turned on, raw water can flow out from the water outlet 4. Thus, the faucet can provide both purified water and raw water. Of course, the first water inlet pipe 2 can also be used to supply raw water, and the second water inlet pipe 3 can be used to supply purified water.

[0031] By setting up the first water inlet pipe 2 and the second water inlet pipe 3, the faucet can provide both purified water and raw water, which facilitates the diverse needs of users and enhances the user experience.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-12As shown, switch 5 includes a housing 51, an operating lever 52, a valve block 53, a valve cover 54, and a valve body 55. The upper end of the valve body 55 has a downwardly recessed valve cavity 551. The valve cover 54 covers the valve cavity 551 to seal it. The bottom of the valve cavity 551 has an inlet channel 552 and an outlet channel 553 connected to it. The first inlet pipe 2 and the second inlet pipe 3 are respectively connected to the inlet channel 552 of their corresponding switches 5. The outlet channel 553 is connected to the outlet 4 via an outlet pipe 6. The valve block 53 slides within the valve cavity 551. The sliding of the valve block 53 allows the inlet channel 552 and the outlet channel 553 to connect or disconnect, thereby controlling the switch. To open or close valve 5, the operating lever 52 passes through the valve cover 54 and is hinged to the valve cover 54, allowing the operating lever 52 to swing relative to the valve cover 54. One end of the operating lever 52 is connected to the valve block 53, thereby driving the valve block 53 to slide. The other end of the operating lever 52 protrudes outside the valve body 55 and extends upward through the faucet body 1 and is connected to the housing 51. The housing 51 can slide back and forth relative to the faucet body 1. The direction of the back and forth sliding is shown in the attached figure. The back and forth sliding of the housing 51 drives the operating lever 52 to swing. The swing of the operating lever 52 drives the valve block 53 to slide back and forth in the valve cavity 551. The sliding of the valve block 53 thereby connects or disconnects the water inlet channel 552 and the water outlet channel 553.

[0033] The slidable housing 51 controls the opening and closing of the switch 5, thereby controlling the connection between the first water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet 4, as well as the connection between the second water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet 4. This greatly simplifies the internal structure of the faucet, reduces costs, and makes operation simpler and more convenient than rotation, resulting in a better user experience and greater market promotion.

[0034] To facilitate the assembly of the housing 51 and the operating lever 52, a fixing groove 512 is provided on the housing 51. One end of the operating lever 52 is fitted into the fixing groove 512. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 4 As shown, a fixing frame 511 is provided on the housing 51, and the fixing groove 512 is formed inside the fixing frame 511.

[0035] To facilitate the sliding of the housing 51 relative to the faucet body 1, the housing 51 is provided with an operating part that can be pushed to achieve the sliding of the housing relative to the faucet body 1. In this embodiment, the operating part is a recess 513 formed by the downward indentation of the top of the housing 51. The recess 513 can be marked with purified water and / or raw water so that the user can distinguish between the two switches 5. Of course, the operating part can also be in other forms, such as an inclined surface provided on the housing 51, etc.

[0036] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , 7As shown in Figure 10, the valve block 53 has a connecting cavity 531, which is formed by an upward indentation from the bottom of the valve block 53. A fixing seat 56 is provided between the valve block 53 and the bottom of the valve cavity 551. The fixing seat 56 is fixedly set relative to the valve cavity 551. The valve block 53 slides along the upper end surface of the fixing seat 56. The fixing seat 56 has a first channel 561 and a second channel 562 that extend vertically and pass through its upper and lower ends. The first channel 561 connects the connecting cavity 531 and the water inlet channel 552, and the second channel 562 connects to the water outlet channel 553. Regardless of the valve block 53 sliding along... Regardless of how the upper surface of the fixed base 56 slides, the connecting cavity 531 is always connected to the first channel 561 and the water inlet channel 552. When the connecting cavity 531 is connected to the second channel 562, the water inlet channel 552, the first channel 561, the connecting cavity 531, the second channel 562 and the water outlet channel 553 are connected in sequence. At this time, the switch 5 is opened and the water inlet channel 552 is connected to the water outlet 4. When the connecting cavity 531 is not connected to the second channel 562, the switch 5 is closed and the water inlet channel 552 is not connected to the water outlet channel 553 and the water outlet 4.

[0037] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figure 9, the bottom of the valve cavity 551 is recessed downward to form a sealing cavity 554. A sealing element 57 is provided within this sealing cavity 554. The sealing element 57 seals against the bottom of the sealing cavity 554 and the bottom of the fixing seat 56. The sealing element 57 is used to seal the connection between the water inlet channel 552 and the first channel 561, and to seal the connection between the second channel 562 and the water outlet channel 553. In this embodiment, the sealing element 57 has two through holes 571. One through hole 571 is used to seal the connection between the water inlet channel 552 and the first channel 561, and the other through hole 571 is used to seal the connection between the water outlet channel 553 and the second channel 562. Alternatively, it can be in the form of two sealing rings.

[0038] In this embodiment, a slot 532 is provided at the upper end of the valve block 53, and one end of the operating rod 52 is locked in the slot 532. The slot 532 facilitates the linkage between the operating rod 52 and the valve block 53.

[0039] In this embodiment, the operating lever 52 is hinged to the valve cover 54 via the rotating shaft 58, and a damping mechanism can be provided on the rotating shaft 58 to position the operating lever 52 in the open or closed position of the switch 5. Such damping mechanisms include, for example, toothed meshing structures, rubber sleeves, and corrugated concave-convex structures, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The pair of switches 5 can be installed separately, meaning the pair of switches 5 are installed independently and do not contact each other, or they can be installed as a single unit. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 11 , 12As shown, at this time, the valve bodies 55 of a pair of switches 5 are connected as one unit.

[0041] The housing 51 can slide back and forth relative to the faucet body 1, causing the housing 51 to drive the operating lever 52 to swing. The sliding of the housing 51 is similar to the sliding of piano keys. Therefore, the switch can also be used as a piano key switch.

[0042] When force is applied to the recess 513 of one of the housings 51 to push the housing 51 to slide backward away from the outlet 4, the housing 51 drives the valve block 53 to move closer to the outlet 4 until it abuts against the peripheral wall of the valve cavity 551. At this time, the inlet channel 552, the first channel 561, the connecting cavity 531, the second channel 562, and the outlet channel 553 are connected in sequence, that is, the switch 5 corresponding to the housing 51 is opened, so that pure water or raw water can be supplied through the outlet. Then, the housing 51 is pushed in the opposite direction, that is, when the housing 51 is pushed forward towards the outlet 4, the housing 51 drives the valve block 53 to move away from the outlet 4 until it abuts against the peripheral wall of the valve cavity 551. At this time, the connecting cavity 531 is not connected to the second channel 562 and the outlet channel 553, and the switch corresponding to the housing 51 is closed. By sliding the housing 51, the connection and disconnection between the first water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet 4, as well as between the second water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet 4, can be achieved, thereby providing purified water and raw water.

[0043] The assembly method of this faucet is the same as existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] This utility model has been described through several specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made to this utility model without departing from its scope. Furthermore, various modifications can be made to this utility model for specific situations or circumstances without departing from its scope. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, but should include all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
