Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a faucet with a hidden water outlet module. The faucet with the hidden water outlet module provided by the present disclosure has a simple structure and reasonable design, is easy to realize, and solves the problems that a functional water outlet (a mouthwash outlet) of the existing faucet is easy to contaminate and the hygiene is poor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A faucet with a hidden water outlet module, comprising a faucet body, a water inlet path and at least first and second water outlet paths being arranged inside the faucet body;
a hidden water outlet assembly which comprises a movable rod and a first elastic member, the movable rod moving in an axial direction of the faucet body and having an extending and retracting displacement with respect to the faucet body, a water passing path and a water outlet being formed on the movable rod, one end of the water passing path being led to the first water outlet path and the other end being communicated with the water outlet, and two ends of the first elastic member respectively acting on the faucet body and the movable rod;
a switching assembly which is arranged inside the faucet body and is used for switching the water inlet path to be led to any water outlet path;
wherein an end of the movable rod close to the water inlet path is formed into a pressure bearing surface, and the pressure bearing surface presses against the movable rod under the effect of a water pressure to move in the axial direction of the movable rod and compresses the first elastic member, so that the water outlet on the movable rod is exposed from the faucet body.

2. The faucet with the hidden water outlet module according to claim 1 , wherein the switching assembly comprises a switching body and a second elastic member; the switching body is perpendicular to an axis of the faucet body and is used for blocking any water outlet path; two ends of the second elastic member respectively act on an end part of the switching body and the faucet body, so that when the switching body loses a loading force, the water inlet path is switched to be led to the second water outlet path.

3. The faucet with the hidden water outlet module according to claim 2 , wherein the switching assembly further comprises a pressing structure used for applying the loading force to the switching body; the pressing structure comprises a cover body assembled with the faucet body and forming a lever swing structure; one side of the cover body is hinged to one end of the switching body, wherein the cover body is pressed to form lever swinging by taking a connection between the cover body and the faucet body as a strut, and then is linked with the switching body to move, so that the water inlet path is led to any water outlet path.

4. The faucet with the hidden water outlet module according to claim 1 , wherein the movable rod comprises a water outlet part and a water inlet part which are disposed in a steplike manner and are connected into a whole; the pressure bearing surface is formed on the water inlet part; and a water passing gap is formed between the water outlet part and the faucet body.

5. The faucet with the hidden water outlet module according to claim 4 , wherein a step slot is formed in the water inlet part; and a slot bottom of the step slot and an outer surface of the water inlet part cooperate with each other to form the pressure bearing surface.
