CN104896136A ) comprises a main body, the main body comprises a control handle; a water outlet rocker arm is fixedly connected to a water outlet end of the main body; a fixed shower water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet rocker arm, and the fixed water outlet pipe of the shower has a water outlet; a water outlet end of the water outlet rocker arm is separated from the fixed water outlet pipe of the shower; the fixed shower water outlet pipe is connected to a water outlet of a spray gun shower; a water inlet end of the spray gun shower is fixedly connected to a water outlet end of the main body; the water outlet of the main body is disposed with an automatic switching valve; the automatic switching valve is fixedly disposed in an inner cavity of the water outlet of the main body; a shower control switch is disposed on the water outlet of the spray gun shower; a connection between the fixed shower water outlet pipe and the water outlet end of the spray gun shower is achieved by magnets. The faucet can produce water with three effects: 1) Turn on the control handle, after the water flows through the automatic switching valve of the water outlet end of the main body, the water flows automatically into the water outlet end of the water outlet rocker arm (that is, an aerated end). Since water flows out of a lower end in an initial state of the automatic switching valve, as a water outlet method, each time the control handle is closed and then opened, the water flows out of the aerated end. 2) As required, when water flows out of the spray gun shower, a spray control switch of the spray gun shower is pressed, the water flows through the automatic switching valve of the main water outlet, a stainless steel weaving hose of the spray gun shower, and the water outlet of the spray gun shower, the water finally flows out of a water outlet hole of the fixed shower water outlet pipe, and the water flowing out of the aerated end is automatically closed. 3) As required, the spray gun shower is used alone, the spray gun shower is taken off from the fixed shower water outlet pipe, the shower control switch of the spray gun shower is pressed, and the water flows through the automatic switching valve of the water outlet of the main body, the stainless steel weaving hose of the spray gun shower, then flows out of the water outlet end of the spray gun shower, and the water flowing out of the aerated end is automatically closed. - The faucet has the following deficiencies: 1) The water inlet of the main body is divided into two water dividing passages by the switching valve, and an application of the switching valve increases a cost and a structural complexity; 2) One of the water dividing passages is through the fixed water outlet pipe, and the other of the water dividing passages is through the water outlet rocker arm.
