FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of kitchen sanitary ware, in particular
to a faucet.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] The existing faucet (such as
CN104896136A) comprises a main body, the main body comprises a control handle; a water outlet
rocker arm is fixedly connected to a water outlet end of the main body; a fixed shower
water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet rocker arm, and the fixed
water outlet pipe of the shower has a water outlet; a water outlet end of the water
outlet rocker arm is separated from the fixed water outlet pipe of the shower; the
fixed shower water outlet pipe is connected to a water outlet of a spray gun shower;
a water inlet end of the spray gun shower is fixedly connected to a water outlet end
of the main body; the water outlet of the main body is disposed with an automatic
switching valve; the automatic switching valve is fixedly disposed in an inner cavity
of the water outlet of the main body; a shower control switch is disposed on the water
outlet of the spray gun shower; a connection between the fixed shower water outlet
pipe and the water outlet end of the spray gun shower is achieved by magnets. The
faucet can produce water with three effects: 1) Turn on the control handle, after
the water flows through the automatic switching valve of the water outlet end of the
main body, the water flows automatically into the water outlet end of the water outlet
rocker arm (that is, an aerated end). Since water flows out of a lower end in an initial
state of the automatic switching valve, as a water outlet method, each time the control
handle is closed and then opened, the water flows out of the aerated end. 2) As required,
when water flows out of the spray gun shower, a spray control switch of the spray
gun shower is pressed, the water flows through the automatic switching valve of the
main water outlet, a stainless steel weaving hose of the spray gun shower, and the
water outlet of the spray gun shower, the water finally flows out of a water outlet
hole of the fixed shower water outlet pipe, and the water flowing out of the aerated
end is automatically closed. 3) As required, the spray gun shower is used alone, the
spray gun shower is taken off from the fixed shower water outlet pipe, the shower
control switch of the spray gun shower is pressed, and the water flows through the
automatic switching valve of the water outlet of the main body, the stainless steel
weaving hose of the spray gun shower, then flows out of the water outlet end of the
spray gun shower, and the water flowing out of the aerated end is automatically closed.
[0003] The faucet has the following deficiencies: 1) The water inlet of the main body is
divided into two water dividing passages by the switching valve, and an application
of the switching valve increases a cost and a structural complexity; 2) One of the
water dividing passages is through the fixed water outlet pipe, and the other of the
water dividing passages is through the water outlet rocker arm. The water outlet rocker
arm is disposed with a water outlet passage, the structure is complicated, the sealing
performance is poor, or an increased sealing leads to increased costs; 3) The water
outlet rocker arm is fixedly connected to the main body, the applicability is not
high.

Embodiment 6
[0049] This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: a faucet comprises a faucet body,
a first water outlet terminal connected to the faucet body through a water outlet
tube, a support portion, and a second water outlet terminal, the first water outlet
terminal comprises a first water outlet portion, the support portion is fixedly connected
to the faucet body, the second water outlet terminal is connected to the support portion;
The second water outlet terminal comprises at least two second water outlet portions,
the first water outlet portion can move relative to the faucet body, water directly
flows out of the first water outlet portion or water from the water outlet tube flows
through the first water outlet terminal and finally flows out of a selected one of
the second water outlet portions due to at least the relative movement of the first
water outlet portion. By way of example, the water outlet tube is a flexible tube,
selectively, the first water outlet terminal is fixedly disposed on an end of the
water outlet tube, and the first water outlet terminal is staggered with the second
water outlet terminal to enable water to flow out of the first water outlet terminal
due to a movement of the first water outlet terminal, or, selectively, the first water
outlet terminal is disposed in one of the second water outlet portions to enable the
water to flow out of the second water outlet portions.
Embodiment 7
[0050] This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the first water outlet terminal
2 is fixed relative to the faucet body 1, and the second water outlet portions 41
of the second water outlet terminal are configured to move relative to the faucet
body 1. A structure is as follows:
[0051] A faucet comprises a faucet body 1, a first water outlet terminal 2 connected to
the faucet body 1 through a water outlet tube 21, a support portion 3, and a second
water outlet terminal 4. The first water outlet terminal 2 comprises a first water
outlet portion 22, the support portion 3 is connected to the faucet body 1, and the
second water outlet terminal 4 is connected to the support portion 3; The second water
outlet terminal 4 comprises at least two second water outlet portions 41, the second
water outlet portions 41 are configured to move relative to the faucet body 1, water
directly flows out of the first water outlet portion 22 or water from the water outlet
tube 21 flows through the first water outlet terminal 2 and finally flows out of a
selected one of the second water outlet portions 41 due to at least the relative movement
of the second water outlet portions 41.
[0052] Therefore, the two second water outlet portions 41 of the second water outlet terminal
4 is configured to be concentrically disposed on a same plane of a lower end of the
mounting portion 44 (e.g., Embodiment 1) in an inner-and-outer direction, be disposed
on an upper end and a lower end of the mounting portion 44' (e.g., Embodiment 2),
or be horizontally disposed in the mounting portion 44" (e.g., Embodiment 3).
[0053] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variation
can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of
the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications
and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended
claims and their equivalents.
