In this embodiment, the water diversion seat 41 has two water diversion holes 412, namely the first water diversion hole 412a and the second water diversion hole 412b; two mutually isolated water diversion channels 300 are formed between the water diversion seat 41 and the connecting portion 331, namely the first water diversion channel 301 and the second water diversion channel 302; the first water diversion hole 412a, the first water diversion channel 301 and the first water inlet 211a are interconnected, and the second water diversion hole 412b, the second water diversion channel 302 and the second water inlet 211b are interconnected. The two water diversion holes 412 connect different functional waterways of the shower head, that is, one water diversion hole 412 connects one functional waterway.

[0060] The positioning column 42 is fixed in the first axial hole 411 of the water diversion seat 41 . The positioning column 42 has a central hole 421 , and a plurality of first wedge-shaped teeth 422 are provided on the inner wall thereof. Positioning grooves 423 are formed between the first wedge-shaped teeth 422 .

[0061] The transmission shaft 44 has a positioning groove 441 and a second wedge-shaped tooth 442. The transmission shaft 44 is inserted into the central hole 421 of the positioning column 42, and the second wedge-shaped tooth 442 is placed in the positioning groove 423. One end of the transmission shaft 44 passes through the first shaft hole 411 of the water diversion seat 41 and the second shaft hole 3312 of the connecting part 331 in sequence and abuts against the button 43, and the other end can move up and down along the central hole 421 of the positioning column 42.

[0062] The water-dividing piece 45 is embedded in the water-dividing seat 41, and has a positioning hole 451, a water-passing hole 453, and a third wedge-shaped tooth 452 that is in transmission cooperation with the first wedge-shaped tooth 422 and the second wedge-shaped tooth 442, and the third wedge-shaped tooth 452 is placed in the positioning groove 423 of the positioning column 42; one end of the positioning shaft 46 is against the body 1, and the other end passes through the positioning hole 451 of the water-dividing piece 45 and is inserted into the positioning groove 441 of the transmission shaft 44. The first spring 47 is arranged between the button 43 and the water outlet cover frame 33, and the second spring 48 is arranged between the water-dividing piece 45 and the positioning shaft 46.

[0063] In this embodiment, the positioning column 42 has four first wedge-shaped teeth 422, and correspondingly, the transmission shaft 44 has four second wedge-shaped teeth 442, the water dividing plate 45 has four third wedge-shaped teeth 452, and the water dividing plate 45 has oppositely arranged water holes 453, namely the first water hole 453a and the second water hole 453b.

[0064] The working principle of the button-type waterway switching device of the present invention is as follows: pressing the button 43 drives the transmission shaft 44 to move upward, the second wedge-shaped tooth 442 presses against the third wedge-shaped tooth 452, forcing the water-dividing plate 45 to move upward and rotate, and then the first spring 47 and the second spring 48 are compressed; releasing the button 43, the button 43 is reset by the restoring force of the first spring 47, and the transmission shaft 44 is reset by the restoring force of the second spring 48; under the action of the second spring 48, the water-dividing plate 45 pushes the inclined surface of the third wedge-shaped tooth 452 to move along the inclined surface of the first wedge-shaped tooth 422 until the third wedge-shaped tooth 452 falls into the positioning groove 423 of the positioning column 42, so as to complete the function switching this time. In this embodiment, pressing the button 43 once causes the water-dividing plate 45 to rotate 90°, so as to realize the on / off of each water-passing hole 453 of the water-dividing plate 45 and each water-dividing hole 412 of the water-dividing seat 41.

[0065] Preferably, the first spring 47 is a conical spring, so that the button 43 is not prone to deflection when rebounding.

[0066] The present invention can realize the switching of the water outlet mode of the shower head by pressing the button water channel switching device, specifically: Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, when the water flows along the water path B, the shower head realizes an intermittent water outlet state of massage water, specifically: the water diverter sheet 45 blocks the first water diverter hole 412a of the water diverter seat 41, and the water flows into the second water containing chamber 21b through the second water diverter hole 453b, the second water diverter hole 412b, the second water diverter channel 302 and the second water inlet 211b, and the water drives the rotor 5 to rotate and block the second water outlet 212b of the second water containing chamber 21b, so that the water flows intermittently from the second water outlet 212b to the water collecting chamber 100, and then sprays out from each water outlet hole 31 of the water outlet surface cover 3. When the water flows along the water path A, the water discharge state of the shower head is realized, specifically: the button 43 is pressed to drive the transmission shaft 44 to move, so that the water dividing plate 45 rotates 90 degrees, and the water dividing plate 45 blocks the second water dividing hole 412b of the water dividing seat 41, and the water flows into the first water containing chamber 21a through the first water passing hole 453a, the first water dividing hole 412a, the first water dividing channel 301 and the first water inlet 211a, and then flows into the water collecting chamber 100 through the first water outlet 212a, and then sprays out from each water outlet 31 of the water outlet surface cover 3. Press the button 43 again, and the shower head realizes the intermittent massage water discharge state. Therefore, the water discharge mode of the shower head can be switched by pressing the button water path switching device.

[0067] In addition, if you want to further increase the water outlet mode of the shower head, such as bubble water, you only need to set up another water containing chamber 21, which is a simple extension of the above solution.
