Abstract
A water output switch structure of a faucet includes a water output switch structure of a faucet comprising a faucet main body, a water guiding duct, a switch valve, and a positioning unit including an adapter, a locking unit, a water-stopping pad and a water-stopping ring. The switch valve has a valve stick that moves horizontally, so a pulling head of the valve stick would not fall down unexpectedly due to gravity to change the status of water output.
Claims4
A water output switch structure of a faucet comprising a faucet main body, a water guiding duct, a switch valve, and a positioning unit including an adapter, a locking unit, a water-stopping pad and a water-stopping ring,
- wherein the faucet main body includes a downward water output chamber and a rear tubular body, and a dividing board inside the faucet main body is used to separate said downward water output chamber and said rear tubular body, wherein a top portion of the dividing board has a through connecting hole, and a corresponding through hole on the faucet main body is aligned with the connecting hole,
- wherein the water guiding duct has a first tubular body and second tubular body, and a stopping edge is located inside the first tubular body and a bracket is suspended at front end thereof, a center of the bracket having a shaft hole, and a periphery of the shaft hole having at least one surrounding through hole, wherein the water guiding duct is inside the rear tubular body, the first tubular body and the connecting hole are connected, so that the water guiding duct is used to connect with a water source,
- wherein the switch valve has a valve stick that is inside the shaft hole and corresponding through hole, and extends toward a front end of the faucet main body, the valve stick having a water stopping unit inside the first tubular body through an enlarging portion, and a spring disposed between the enlarging portion and the bracket of the first tubular body, wherein the valve stick is pushed backwards by said spring to prevent the water stopping unit from blocking the stopping edge of the first tubular body, which causes the blocking of the water flow, wherein a rear end of the valve stick is supported by a restricting cover, and a plurality of supporting legs surround a periphery of the restricting cover, and the supporting legs are provided for the first tubular body and second tubular body, so that the restricting cover is secured in the water guiding duct, wherein a pulling head is disposed at a portion of the valve stick which extends exterior to the faucet main body,
- wherein a center of the adapter has a through opening that has a circular groove therein to receive the water-stopping ring, and the adapter connects with the water source through the through opening, wherein the locking unit is inserted into the adapter through the periphery thereof to push against the water source to secure the adapter on the water source, and through the engagement of the second tubular body and the adapter, water is transported into the faucet main body, and the water-stopping pad is disposed between the adapter and second tubular body.
