Abstract

A faucet diverter device includes a faucet main body and a diverter valve. The faucet main body includes a first channel and a second channel for respectively passing therethrough a first fluid and a second fluid. The diverter valve, which is connected with the first channel and the second channel, includes a turning valve thereinside, a first diverting outlet, a second diverting outlet, and a pivot connected with the turning valve for turning the turning valve. The first fluid and the second fluid respectively flow into the turning valve of the diverter valve for blending with each other to generate a mixed fluid. The turning valve further includes a hole, and through turning the pivot to move the turning valve, the hole can be moved to a first position corresponding to the first diverting outlet, a second position corresponding to the second diverting outlet or a cut-off position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A faucet diverter device, comprising:
 a faucet main body, comprising a first channel and a second channel for respectively passing therethrough a first fluid and a second fluid; and   a diverter valve, which is connected with the faucet main body, comprising a turning valve thereinside, a first inlet communicated with the first channel and the turning valve, a second inlet communicated with the second channel and the turning valve, a first diverting outlet, a second diverting outlet, and a pivot connected with the turning valve for turning the turning valve, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid respectively flow into the turning valve through the first inlet and the second inlet, and wherein the turning valve comprises a mixing space for blending the first fluid with the second fluid to generate a mixed fluid, and a hole corresponding to the first diverting outlet and the second diverting outlet, in which through turning the pivot to move the turning valve, the hole is moved to a first position corresponding to the first diverting outlet, a second position corresponding to the second diverting outlet or a cut-off position, so that the mixed fluid can be selected to output through the first diverting outlet or the second diverting outlet by moving the hole, and the cut-off position is a position other than the first position and the second position, for preventing the mixed fluid from flowing out.   
     
     
         2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pivot is further connected with a handle for being held and turned by a user to turn the pivot. 
     
     
         3 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the faucet main body further comprises a first flow rate control element and a second flow rate control element, wherein the first flow rate control element and the second flow rate control element are respectively connected with the first channel and the second channel, so that the first flow rate control element is used to control the flow amount of the first fluid passing through the first inlet, and the second flow rate control element is used to control the flow amount of the second fluid passing through the second inlet. 
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the faucet main body further comprises an upper drain channel and a lower drain channel, wherein individual one ends of the upper drain channel and the lower drain channel are respectively connected with the first diverting outlet and the second diverting outlet. 
     
     
         5 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the other end of the upper drain channel is extended to be an upper drain connector, which comprises threads on the surface thereof for screwing with a water drain device. 
     
     
         6 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising a shower device connected to the other end of the upper drain channel for outputting the mixed fluid from the upper drain channel. 
     
     
         7 . The device as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising a lower drain pipe connected to the other end of the lower drain channel for outputting the mixed fluid from the lower drain channel. 
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the lower drain pipe is further connected with a switch component and a shower nozzle, and by operating the switch component, the mixed fluid is switched to output through the lower drain pipe or the shower nozzle.
