Abstract

See full text

A fine ceramic switch valve for a bathtub includes a water control valve, a valve piece, a switch valve piece, a control shaft, a valve cover, and a valve shell. The water control valve has a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole for the bathtub and shower head. The first water outlet hole is smaller to form a smaller water channel, so the water pressure is higher to generate a stronger water flow and effectively reduce water output. The second water outlet hole is larger to form a larger water channel, so when the water passes through the second water outlet hole, as well as a fully open through hole of the bottom of the water control valve, the amount of water can be significantly increased to fill the bathtub and thus to increase the convenience and practicability of the switch valve structure.
