As shown in fig. 8 and 9, when the water outlet housing 4 is pressed down, the switching valve core 1 is driven to rotate, so that the switching valve core 1 is in a circulation state when rotating to the position shown in fig. 8 and 9, and no matter which direction the water outlet housing 4 rotates relative to the passage housing 3, the water outlet housing 4 can be circulated as long as the water outlet housing 4 is ensured not to be lifted, and at the hot water end 21, the water flow pushes the check valve 5 to overcome the elastic force of the spring to form a water flow, the water heater starts, the cold water in the preheating pipeline starts (due to the valve core action of the check valve 5, the cold water cannot flow through the hot water end 21, and only can flow from the hot water end 21 to the cold water end 22), and the water flow is as shown in the.
When the water shell 4 is lifted up, the conversion valve core 1 is driven to rotate, so that the conversion valve core is positioned in the positions shown in fig. 10 and 11, the water is mixed (the water shell can be rotated to a small extent), and the water flows to the position shown in the figure. In the water mixing state, when the outlet housing 4 rotates relative to the passage housing 3, as shown in fig. 12, the outlet housing 4 moves to a complete cold water state, the hot water passage 31 is blocked by the outlet housing 4, hot water cannot enter, only cold water can enter and flows out from the water outlet, and at the moment, the machine cannot be started when only cold water is opened, and the same principle is also adopted when hot water is used.
