Abstract
A temperature control outlet device including a body, a faceplate and an outlet assembly inside the body; the outlet assembly includes a valve connected to the body; the valve includes a mainstream and a diversion vent; a valve rod is provided inside the mainstream for blocking water flow in the mainstream via a bias spring on the bottom and a memory spring on the top. The diversion vent is connected to a diversion assembly. The diversion assembly includes a switching rod having one end connected to a reset spring and another end connected to a button. The temperature control outlet device automatically stops outflow of water when the water turns from cold to hot.
Claims7
A temperature control outlet device comprising a body, a faceplate communicating with an outlet end of the body, and an outlet assembly inside the body;
- the outlet assembly comprises a valve connected to the body;
- the valve is divided into a mainstream and a diversion vent;
- a valve rod is provided inside the mainstream;
- water flow in the mainstream is capable of being blocked by the valve rod through a bias spring on a bottom part of the valve rod and a memory spring on a top part of the valve rod;
- the diversion vent is connected to a diversion assembly to form a diversion channel;
- the diversion assembly comprises a switching rod;
- one end of the switching rod is connected to a reset spring while another end of the switching rod is connected to a button;
- the switching rod is capable of blocking water flow in the diversion channel;
- a bore is provided inside the valve rod;
- when the water flow in the mainstream is blocked by the valve rod under pushing force of the memory spring during supply of hot water and when water flow in the diversion channel is also blocked concurrently by the switching rod, a trickle hole provided on a top portion of the bore connects the bore and the mainstream for the hot water to trickle from the mainstream to the bore.
