In addition, the cross section of water outlet of the top spray of the utility model is oval, square, rectangle or strip, compared with the traditional circular water outlet, it is more in line with the flat structure of human body, can reduce the water directly hitting the ground, improve the contact rate of water and user, and avoid resource waste.

[0008] Preferably, the water outlet nozzle is inclined hole, and gradually inclines outward, so as to realize the outward expansion of water outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the water outlets on the water outlet panel in the same vertical and horizontal section are gradually inclined outward from the middle to both sides in an angle increasing manner. The water outlets on the water outlet panel in the same vertical and longitudinal section are gradually inclined outward from the middle to both sides in an angle increasing manner, so as to realize the effect of synchronous expansion of the whole water circle in the length direction and the width direction.

[0010] Preferably, in order to avoid the water circle over-expansion and the bending and crossing of the water outlets due to gravity after moving away from the top spray, the adjacent water outlets on the water outlet panel in the same vertical and horizontal section have an included angle of 0.5°-1.5°, and the adjacent water outlets on the water outlet panel in the same vertical and longitudinal section also have an included angle of 0.5°-1.5°.
