Abstract
A pull-out faucet including a faucet body, a spray head whose one end is connected to the faucet body, a pull-out pipe, and a non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly disposed in the faucet body and having a movable plug; another end of the pull-out pipe is in communication with a water outlet end of the non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly. The spray head drives a driving mechanism on the pull-out pipe to move up and down so as to be positioned corresponding to or away from the movable plug whose movements will open and close a water path. No electricity is required and so the pull-out faucet is widely applicable and has a low cost of use.

A pull-out faucet, comprising:
- a faucet body, a spray head, a pull-out pipe, and a non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly;
- the spray head is detachably mounted to one end of the faucet body;
- the pull-out pipe is movably inserted into the faucet body and is movable axially in the faucet body;
- one end of the pull-out pipe communicates with the spray head, and another end of the pull-out pipe is in communication with a water outlet end of the non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly;
- the non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly is provided in the faucet body;
- the non-electrically-driven water outlet assembly comprises a valve body, a water inlet end provided on the valve body and through which entry of water is achieved, the water outlet end provided on the valve body, and a movable plug capable of opening and closing a water path between the water inlet end and the water outlet end;
- a driving mechanism is provided on an outer side wall of the pull-out pipe;
- the spray head, when being pulled out from the faucet body, drives the pull-out pipe and the driving mechanism to move to a position corresponding to the movable plug and thus interact with the movable plug in a way that the driving mechanism drives the movable plug to move to open the water path;
- the spray head, when being reset onto the faucet body, drives the pull-out pipe and the driving mechanism to move away from the movable plug so that the movable plug is driven to move oppositely to close the water path.
