Abstract

A multi-input faucet comprises a spraying tube and a faucet body connected to the spraying tube. The faucet body comprises a cold water input tube and a hot water input tube being installed at a front side of a ceramic valve tank; a cold water inlet tube having a cold water inlet hole at an upper side thereof; the cold water inlet tube being connected to a lower cold water chamber through the cold water inlet hole; a cold water control valve for controlling the opening between the lower cold water chamber and the upper chamber so that the water flows into the upper water chamber; a hot water control valve for controlling hot water flow; a second isolating plate for separating the guide chamber from the cold water chamber; and a guide tube being connected below the guide chamber.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A multi-input faucet comprising a spraying tube and a faucet body connected to the spraying tube; the faucet body comprising; 
 a first water supply unit comprising: 
 a ceramic valve tank for embedding a water control ceramic valve installed at a front side of the faucet body;  
 a cold water input tube and a hot water input tube being installed at a front side of the ceramic valve tank; a rear side of the ceramic valve tank having a water supply opening; wherein water flows through the water supply opening to a rear water chamber so that the cold water or hot water can flow through a main hole of the rear water chamber; then the water flowing out from an outer tube of a coaxial tube;  
   a second water supply unit comprising: 
 an inner tube of the coaxial tube being installed to a sub-seat hole below the main hole; a water cleaning chamber below the inner tube being isolated by a first isolating plate having a water inlet;  
 the first isolating surface having a folded structure;  
 a cold water inlet tube; the cold water inlet tube being connected to a lower cold water chamber through a cold water inlet hole; cold water in the fold water inlet tube flowing through the cold water inlet hole to the lower cold water chamber; then the fold water flowing through the water inlet to the upper water chamber and then flowing into the inner tube of the coaxial tube;  
 a cold water control valve for controlling the opening between the lower cold water chamber and the upper chamber so that the water flows into the upper water chamber;  
 a hot water control valve arranged opposite to the cold water control valve for controlling the amount of cold water which flows from the upper water chamber to a water guide chamber from a middle water hole;  
 a second isolating plate for separating the guide chamber from the cold water chamber; the middle water hole being on the second isolating plate;  
 a guide tube being connected below the guide chamber; cold water flowing into the guide tube from the guide chamber and then to an electric heating tank through a guide opening for heating the water;  
 wherein the first isolating plate and the second isolating plate are formed with a longitudinal channel with two openings; a hot water tube are installed between the openings by using an upper sleeve and a middle sleeve; a lower end of the hot water tube is inserted into the processing tank so that hot water flows through the hot water tube; and  
 wherein in operation, when only hot water is desired, then the cold water valve is closed so that cold water will not flow into the upper chamber; only the hot water flows into the inner tube so as to further flows into the spraying tube; when only cold water is desired, the hot water valve must be closed so that only cold water flows into the inner tube; and by adjusting the opening of the hot water valve and cold water valve, the temperature of the mixing water in the upper chamber is adjusted.
