Abstract

See full text

A mixed water control valve for a faucet includes a valve housing, a control unit, and a balance unit. The valve housing has a mounting seat which has a receiving chamber and two water inlet holes. The balance unit includes a fixed sleeve secured in the receiving chamber, a pressure regulating sleeve movably mounted in the fixed sleeve, a balance baffle mounted in the pressure regulating sleeve, and two elastic members each mounted in the pressure regulating sleeve and each biased between the balance baffle and the mounting seat. Thus, the balance baffle is compressed between the elastic members which provide a buffering force to counteract a larger pressure applied on the balance baffle, so that the pressure regulating sleeve is moved smoothly and stably without producing resonant noise in the faucet.
