Abstract

A single push button multi-function water output switching structure, comprising: an outer shell, and a water output panel, a seat body, and an inner sleeve disposed in the outer shell. Wherein, the seat body is provided with three through hole channels, while inside the three through hole channels are each provided with a set of water output guiding sleeve and a core plug. The water output panel is provided with three sets of independent water output channels, and a water output end surface of the water output guiding sleeve is provided with water output hole corresponding to and in communication with the water output channels. An inner sleeve is sleeved in a cavity in rear portion of the seat body. The switching structure is simple in structure, optimal in design, and is capable of achieving various different water outputs through pressing a single push button.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A single push button multi-function water output switching structure, comprising: an outer shell, and a water output panel, a seat body, and an inner sleeve disposed in the outer shell,
wherein, the seat body is provided with three through hole channels, while inside the three through hole channels are each provided with a set of water output guiding sleeve and a core plug, the water output panel is provided with three sets of independent water output channels, and a water output end surface of the water output guiding sleeve is provided with a water output hole corresponding to and in communication with the water output channels, an inner sleeve is sleeved in a cavity in a rear portion of the seat body, and in the inner sleeve is disposed in sequence a top rod pressing a top of the core plug, a top press spring, and a ratchet mechanism, on an end surface of the top rod is provided with a plurality of deep indent pits and a plurality of shallow indent pits, such that a rear end of each core plug is acted against in the deep indent pit or the shallow indent pit, a compression spring is provided between a front end of the core plug and an indent cavity at a rear end of the water output guiding sleeve, a push button is each provided on the inner sleeve and the outer shell, a slant face at a lower end of the push button works in cooperation with a first slant face at a rear end of the ratchet mechanism, and on the top rod is provided with a protrusion button acting in cooperation with an inner wall button slot at a movable end of the ratchet mechanism.

2. The single push button multi-function water output switching structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein on the core plug is provided with two seal rings, to work in tight seal cooperation with an inner wall of an indent cavity at a rear end of the water output guiding sleeve.

3. The single push button multi-function water output switching structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the top rod includes a top disk, and a column rod disposed at the rear end of the top disk, while a top press spring is sleeved around the column rod.

4. The single push button multi-function water output switching structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratchet mechanism includes a fixing pin and a rotor, the front end of the fixing pin and the rear end of the rotor are each provided with corresponding ratchet teeth, matching and cooperating with each other, while the first slant face is disposed at the rear end of the fixing pin.

5. The single push button multi-function water output switching structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a central rod is placed penetrating through the top rod and the ratchet mechanism.

6. The single push button multi-function water output switching structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer shell is a circular sleeve, and on the wall at the rear end of the circular sleeve is provided with round holes, for insertion and receiving of the push buttons, while the rear end of the inner sleeve is connected to a single direction valve and a filter net pad.
