Abstract

An outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes includes: an inlet body and an outlet body; the inlet body is connected to the outlet body, which is disposed independently with a tap water outlet passage and a filtered water outlet passage inside; a first outlet control switch an a second outlet controls switch being respectively used to control the open and close of the tap water outlet passage and the filtered water outlet passage; the first outlet control switch is disposed on the inlet body, the second outlet control switch is disposed on the outlet body; and an outlet device being disposed independently at the end of the outlet body with a first outlet and a second outlet; the first outlet and the second outlet are respectively connected to the tap water outlet passage and the filtered water outlet passage.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes, comprising:
an inlet body and an outlet body;
the inlet body being connected to the outlet body;
the outlet body enclosing a tap water outlet passage and a filtered water outlet passage, at least a part of the filtered water outlet passage being coaxial with the tap water outlet passage;
a first outlet control switch and a second outlet control switch being respectively used to control an open and close of the tap water outlet passage and the filtered water outlet passage;
wherein:
the first outlet control switch is disposed on the inlet body, and the second outlet control switch is disposed on the outlet body;
an outlet device is disposed at an end of the outlet body;
the outlet device is disposed independently with a first outlet and a second outlet;
the first outlet and the second outlet are respectively connected to the tap water outlet passage and the filtered water outlet passage;
the outlet body comprises a support pipe and an outlet joint component;
the support pipe is connected between the outlet joint component and the inlet body;
a front end of the outlet joint component is disposed with a tap water flowing hole and a filtered water flowing hole, which form the tap water outlet passage and the filtered water outlet passage;
an end of the outlet joint component is disposed with a first opening; and
a side wall of the outlet joint component is further disposed with a second outlet vertical with respect to the side wall.

2. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 1 , wherein
the second outlet control switch comprises a switch valve component and a switch valve button;
the switch valve component is disposed in the outlet joint component, and
the switch valve button is connected to one end of the switch valve component in transmitting way and is exposed out of the first opening.

3. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 2 , wherein
the switch valve component is further disposed with a sealing element; and
when the switch valve button is pressed, the sealing element moves in the switch valve component, such that the filtered water flowing hole is connected to a second opening or is closed by the sealing element.

4. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 3 , wherein the switch valve component further comprises a push bar, one end of the push bar is connected to the switch valve button in a transmitting way, a side wall of another end of the push bar is arranged with protruding blocks at intervals, and an end of a protruding block is configured to be an inclined surface.

5. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 4 , wherein
the sealing element is coaxial with the push bar, the sealing element is disposed with a sealing ring vertical with respect to an axial direction;
a side of the sealing ring facing the push bar is disposed with a plurality of bosses; and
a side of a boss facing the protruding block is disposed with a guiding surface coupled to the inclined surface.

6. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 3 , wherein
the outlet device is disposed in the second opening; the first outlet and the second outlet are arranged in a surrounding way, and
the first outlet surrounds an external periphery of the second outlet.

7. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 2 , comprising one or more tap water flowing holes.

8. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 7 , wherein
the inlet body comprises a body base and an independent valve spool base disposed in the body base;
the independent valve spool base is disposed independently with a filtered water inlet and a tap water inlet, the filtered water inlet is connected to the filtered water outlet passage;
a side wall of the independent valve spool base is disposed with a tap water outlet;
the first outlet control switch is disposed between the tap water outlet and the tap water flowing hole; and
when the first outlet control switch is switched on or off, the tap water outlet is connected or disconnected to the tap water flowing hole.

9. The outlet mechanism with filtered water and tap water outlet modes according to claim 8 , comprising a cool water inlet and a hot water inlet.
