[0042] A movable member 30 movably arranged on the main body 10. One end of the movable member 30 is provided with a switching portion 31 that is switched and matched with the water outlet holes 21, and the other end of the movable member 30 is provided with an indicating disk 40 having a plurality of prompt symbols 41. In this embodiment, the movable member 30 includes a connecting shaft 30 extending axially. The switching portion 31 is a sealing member arranged at one end of the connecting shaft 30, and the indicating disk 40 is circumferentially limited at the other end of the connecting shaft 30. Specifically, the sealing member is a water sealing piece 31 with a sealing gasket, and a bottom cover 13 is connected to the bottom of the main body 10, and the connecting shaft 30 is encapsulated in the main body 10 through the bottom cover 13.

[0043] A driving member 50 is in axial transmission cooperation with the movable member 30 along the axis of the body 10 and has a display window 51 corresponding to the indicating disk 40. In this embodiment, the driving member 50 is a button. The body 10 is further connected with a gland 15 which limits the driving member 50. It further includes a third elastic member 70c that provides an elastic restoring force to the driving member 50, so that the driving member 50 reciprocates between the body 10 and the gland 15. The third elastic member 70c is a return spring.

[0044] Wherein, a plurality of continuous V-shaped chutes 62 are provided along the inner circumferential surface of the working cavity 61. The movable member 30 is provided with a convex portion that is in guiding cooperation with the V-shaped chutes 62. The driving member 50 drives the movable member 30 to rotate circumferentially along the body 10 through the guiding cooperation between the convex portion and the V-shaped chutes 62.

[0045] In this embodiment, it further includes a first elastic member 70a. The movable member 30 moves downward along one side of the V-shaped chute 62 to the bottom of the V-shaped chute 62 under the action of the driving member 50. The movable member 30 moves upward along the other side of the V-shaped chute 62 from the bottom of the V-shaped chute 62 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 70a. During operation, only by pressing the driving member 50 can the switching action be completed without lifting the driving member 50, which is convenient and labor-saving. The first elastic member 70a is a return spring.

[0046] In this embodiment, the convex block includes a movable spring pin 32, and further includes a second elastic member 70b that provides an elastic restoring force to the spring pin 32. The second elastic member 70b is a return spring. The connecting shaft 30 is provided with a through hole 33 penetrating in the radial direction. The second elastic member 70b is arranged in the through hole 33, and two spring pins 32 are respectively connected to both ends of the through hole 33, and the two spring pins 32 respectively abut against both ends of the second elastic member 70b.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bottom of the V-shaped chute 62 is provided with a stepped surface with a height difference. The spring pin 32 pops out when moving downward along the V-shaped chute 62 to the position of the stepped surface, thereby preventing the reverse movement of the spring pin 32. And the other side of the V-shaped chute 62 has an inclined surface inclined in the radial direction of the body 10, so that the spring pin 32 is compressed inward during the upward movement along the V-shaped chute 62. The structure is simple and ingenious, which can prevent the reverse movement of the convex block and enable the convex block to move continuously forward with stable functions.

[0048] In this embodiment, one side of the V-shaped chute 62 forms an inclined chute 62a that extends obliquely downward along the circumferential direction of the body 10, and the other side of the V-shaped chute 62 forms a straight chute 62b that extends vertically upward from the bottom of the inclined chute 62a. Specifically, the straight chute 62b is provided with an inclined plane that is inclined in the radial direction.

[0049] In this embodiment, the body 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 12. A sliding sleeve 60a and a sliding cover 60b are arranged in the receiving cavity 12. The sliding sleeve 60a and the sliding cover 60b cooperate to form the working cavity 61. The body 10 is further connected with a latch 14, and the sliding sleeve 60a and the sliding cover 60b are encapsulated in the receiving cavity 12 through the latch 14.

[0050] In this embodiment, one of the sliding sleeve 60a and the sliding cover 60b is provided with a positive V-shaped tooth 64, and the other of the sliding sleeve 60a and the sliding cover 60b is provided with an inverted V-shaped tooth 65. The positive V-shaped tooth 64 and the inverted V-shaped tooth 65 cooperate to form the V-shaped chute 62. The product is easier to mold and the process is simple. In this embodiment, the sliding sleeve 60a is provided with a positive V-shaped tooth 64, and the sliding cover 60b is provided with an inverted V-shaped tooth 65.

[0051] In other embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, the sliding sleeve 60a and the sliding cover 60b are arranged in reverse, and thus the sliding cover 60b is provided with a positive V-shaped tooth 64, and the sliding cover 60b is provided with an inverted V-shaped tooth 65.

[0052] In this embodiment, a limiting rib 66 is arranged on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 60a, and a limiting groove 121 is correspondingly arranged in the receiving cavity 12. The limiting rib 66 and the limiting groove 121 are in circumferential limiting cooperation along the body 10.

[0053] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0054] Press the driving member 50. The driving member 50 drives the connecting shaft 30 to slide downward. The spring pin 32 arranged on the connecting shaft 30 slides obliquely downward along the inclined chute 62a of the V-shaped chute 62. When the spring pin 32 moves downward along the inclined chute 62a to the position of the step surface, it pops out to prevent the reverse movement of the spring pin 32, thereby driving the connecting shaft 30 to rotate, and at the same time driving the indicating disk 40 linked with the connecting shaft 30 to rotate, so that the water sealing piece 31 on the connecting shaft 30 opens the water outlet hole 21;

[0055] Release the driving member 50. The driving member 50 is reset under the action of the third elastic member 70c. The connecting shaft 30 and the indicating disc 40 rebound under the action of the first elastic member 70a. The spring pin 32 provided on the connecting shaft 30 slides upward along the straight groove 62b of the V-shaped chute 62. Under the action of the inclined surface of the straight groove 62b, the spring pin 32 is compressed inward during the upward movement along the V-shaped chute 62. At the same time, the water sealing piece 31 on the connecting shaft 30 blocks the corresponding water outlet hole 21 under the action of the first elastic member 70a, thereby completing the function switching of water outlet.

[0056] In the driving member 50 of this solution, there is a display window 51 through which the current prompt symbol 41 on the indicating disc 40 can be seen, which is convenient for users to observe the current state of the water outlet mechanism. And by setting the continuous V-shaped chute 62 structure, the switching is realized through the guiding cooperation with the convex part. The structure is simple, compact, easy to use, saves space, is more user-friendly, and is suitable for popularization.
