In the present example, the first water outlet member is the water tap 5, and the second water outlet member is the cup cleaner 4. There are other combinations in practical use. Specific introductions will be made in the following other examples.

(49) In addition, in the present example, the water division valve element 2 serves to achieve seven states, specifically three states that cold water or hot water or cold-hot mixed water flows from the first water outlets 22, three states that cold water or hot water or cold-hot mixed water flows from the second water outlet 23, and a state that the first water outlets 22 and the second water outlet 23 are closed at the same time. A specific structure of the water division valve element 2 implementing dual water division and switching the three states of cold water or hot water or cold-hot mixed water specifically refers to the above-mentioned two patents.
(50) Correspondingly, the flow division water outlet device of the present example also has seven states, i.e., three states that cold water or hot water or cold-hot mixed water flows from the first water outlet member, three states that cold water or hot water or cold-hot mixed water flows from the second water outlet member, and a state that both the first water outlet member and the second water outlet member are closed, totally seven states.

(55) Then, referring to
(56) The upper two of the hole positions are end faces of the cold water flow passage 144 and the hot water flow passage 143 respectively. The bottom two of the hole positions are the positioning holes 145 configured to mount the water division valve element 2. Correspondingly, two positioning convex columns 28 adapted to the positioning holes 145 are arranged on the water division valve element 2.

(63) Therefore, in the present example, the flow division upper wall 141 and the flow division lower wall 147 may be combined to further define a flow direction of the water flow after entering from the guide-in cavity 11. Furthermore, the water flow may be guided together at first to the side of the accommodating cavity 16 where the water division valve element 2 is located and then correspondingly distributed to the first water outlet member or the second water outlet member according to the state of the water division valve element 2.
(64) Therefore, the water flow enters the first water outlet cavity 12 after flowing from the first water outlet 22 and through the first flow passage 15, to be supplied to the water tap 5.

(68) In order to further explain structural characteristics of the water division valve element, reference may further be made to
(69) It can be seen from
(70) In addition, specifically referring to
(71) In addition, there is the positioning convex column 28 at the lower end of the first water outlet and the second water outlet 23 at the right side of the positioning convex column 28. There is a water inlet indicated by the upward arrow at one side of the second water outlet 23. Due to a projection relationship, the water inlet herein is divided into the hot water inlet 25 and the cold water inlet 24.
(72) Moreover, it can be seen from the figure that all of the hot water inlet 25, the cold water inlet 24, the first water outlet 22 and the second water outlet 23 may discharge cold water, hot water and cold-hot mixed water.
(73) It is to be pointed out that
(74) A working principle of Example 1 will now be described specifically.
(75) At first, the guide-in cavity 11 at the lower end of the device body 1 is connected with a cold water pipeline and a hot water pipeline. The cold water pipeline and the hot water pipeline are connected with the cold water flow passage 144 and the hot water flow passage 143 respectively. Therefore, cold water enters the cold water flow passage 144 from the cold water pipeline respectively, and hot water enters the hot water flow passage 143 from the hot water pipeline respectively.
(76) Then, the hot water flow passage 143 and the cold water flow passage 144 enter the accommodating cavity 16 after turning the straight corners respectively. In such case, the cold water inlet 24 and the hot water inlet 25 in the water division valve element 2 within the accommodating cavity 16 are correspondingly communicated with the cold water flow passage 144 and the hot water flow passage 143 respectively.
(77) Next, the water division valve element 2 may have the above-mentioned seven states according to the action of the handle 3 on the valve rod 26. When water needs to be supplied to the first water outlet member, i.e., the water tap 5, the first water outlets 22 in the valve body 21 are opened, and the second water outlet 23 is closed. In such case, the water flow may enter the first water outlet cavity 12 through the first flow passage 15 because the first water outlets 22 are opened. Therefore, water may be supplied to the first water outlet member, i.e., the water tap 5.
(78) When water needs to be supplied to the second water outlet member, i.e., the cup cleaner 4, the second water outlet 23 in the valve body 21 is opened, and the first water outlets 22 are closed. In such case, the water flow may finally enter the second water outlet cavity 13 through the second flow passage 142 and the drainage clearance 146 because the second water outlet 23 is opened. Therefore, water may be supplied to the second water outlet member, i.e., the cup cleaner 4.
(79) Transformation 1
(80) In Example 1, a bevel is formed at the upper end of the cup cleaner mounting position 17 to improve the drainage performance. In the present example, a lower end face inside the tray 41 is a bevel such that water may flow out through the outlet 42. The present example is applied to the condition that the tray 41 is a plastic part.
(81) Transformation 2
(82) As shown in
(83) The present invention may also be applied to different application scenes by using the water taps 5 of other styles instead.
Example 2
(84) The present example has the following differences from Example 1.
(85) The first water outlet member is the cup cleaner 4.
(86) The second water outlet member is the water tap 5.
(87) Such a design has the advantage that a requirement on the high-frequency use of the cup cleaner 4 may be met. In addition, it may be ensured that the first water outlet member and the second water outlet member of the present invention are replaceable. Alternatively, even both water outlet members are the cup cleaners 4, or both water outlet members are the water taps 5.
(88) All the features or the steps in all the methods or processes disclosed in the specification, except mutually exclusive features and/or steps, may be freely combined.
(89) Any features disclosed in any appended claims, abstract and drawings in the specification may be replaced with other equivalent or alternative features with similar objectives, unless otherwise stated. That is, each feature is merely an example of a series of equivalent or similar features, unless otherwise stated.
(90) In the descriptions of the present invention, it is to be understood that orientation or position relationships indicated by terms one end, the other end, outer side, upper, inner side, horizontal, coaxial, center, end portion, length, outer end and the like are based on orientation or position relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are only for easily describing the present invention and simplifying the description and not intended to indicate or imply that the specified device or component must have a specific orientation or must be constructed and operated in the specific orientation, and thus should not be understood as limits to the present invention.
(91) In addition, in the description of the present invention, multiple means at least two, for example, two and three, unless otherwise defined specifically.
(92) Terms indicating spatial relative positions, such as upper, above, lower and below, in the present invention, describe a relationship between a unit or feature and another unit or feature shown in the drawings, for the ease of description. The terms indicating spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device during use or work, besides those in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawing is overturned, a unit described as being located below or under another unit or feature is located above the other unit or feature. Therefore, exemplary term below may include two orientations, i.e., above and below. The device may be directionally rotated by 90 degrees or achieve other orientations in other manners, and space-related descriptions used herein are explained accordingly.
(93) In the present invention, unless otherwise definitely specified and limited, terms arranged, sleeving connection, connected, penetration, inserted and the like should be understood broadly. For example, the terms may be understood as fixed connection, detachable connection or integration. The terms may be understood as mechanical connection and electrical connection. The terms may be understood as direct connection, indirect connection through a medium or communication in two components or an interaction relationship of the two components, unless otherwise clearly specified.
