Of course, the water flower is not limited to standard water, but can be applied to sheet water, granular water, focused water and the like. The water outlet device greatly enhances the diversity of water use of users and enhances the experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the outlet diameter of the inlet 21 is smaller than its inlet diameter. This is to create a negative pressure during water intake, thereby generating a better Venturi effect.

[0039] Furthermore, the chamber 20 is provided with an inclined first sidewall 22 and a second sidewall 23. Water in the first water flow direction flows along the first sidewall 22 to the first outlet 26, and water in the second water flow direction flows along the second sidewall 23 to the second outlet 27.

[0040] Furthermore, the inlet end of the first feedback water path 30 is located at the connection between the first water flow direction and the first outlet 26, and the outlet water path of the first feedback water path 30 is a first inclined water path, which merges with the water flowing out of the inlet 21; the inlet end of the second feedback water path 40 is located at the connection between the second water flow direction and the second outlet 27, and the outlet water path of the second feedback water path 40 is a second inclined water path, which merges with the water flowing out of the inlet 21.

In a preferred embodiment, the number of turbulence-disrupting holes 50 is two, and the water outlet at the other end is located within the engine 100 chamber 200, or within the first water chamber 210 or the second water chamber 220. Specifically, it can be located on the side wall of the chamber, the groove of the boss, the top or bottom of the chamber, or on the secondary water chamber. Preferably, the water outlet at the other end of the turbulence-disrupting hole 50 is located on the side wall within the chamber 20. (Refer to the appendix of the specification.) Figures 1-15 As shown, the instruction manual is attached. Figures 16-18 The water outlet at the other end of the turbulence hole 50 is located at the inlet of the secondary water chamber, that is, at the inlet of the first water chamber 210 and the second water chamber 220.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment 1, the flow control device includes a blocking member 61, which is connected to a toggle handle 62. More specifically, a cover plate 63 is also provided between the blocking member 61 and the toggle handle 62. (Refer to the appendix of the specification.) Figures 1-8As shown, in this embodiment, the user changes the relative position of the blocking member 61 by rotating the handle 62, thereby changing the matching relationship between the blocking member 61 and the turbulence hole 50, and changing the water flow rate of the turbulence hole 50.

[0044] In preferred embodiment 2, the flow control device is a sealing member, and the reference drawings attached to the specification Figures 9-11 As shown, in this embodiment, the user controls the opening and closing degree of the turbulence hole 50 by the sealing member, thereby controlling the flow distribution of the turbulence hole 50, and achieving the adjustment of the massage effect.

[0045] In preferred embodiment 3, the flow control device is a flow blocking member, and the reference drawings attached to the specification Figures 12-15 As shown, in this embodiment, the user changes the opening and closing degree of the turbulence hole 50 by rotating the flow blocking member, thereby controlling the flow distribution of the turbulence hole 50, and achieving the adjustment of the massage effect.

[0046] In preferred embodiment 4, the turbulence hole 50 is arranged in the second water cavity, that is, one end of the turbulence hole 50 is communicated with the water inlet, and the other end is communicated with the inlet of the first water cavity 210 and the second water cavity 220, and the reference drawings attached to the specification Figures 16-18 As shown, in this embodiment, the flow control device is also a flow blocking member, that is, the user changes the opening and closing degree of the turbulence hole 50 by rotating the flow blocking member, thereby controlling the flow distribution of the turbulence hole 50, weakening the oscillation effect, and achieving the adjustment of the massage effect.

[0047] In use, the engine 100 structure of the present application is designed so that the body 10 itself can not produce oscillation, and the static pressure generated by the load is used to generate a strong feedback signal flow to drive the main flow to deflect.

[0048] In the water path adjustment process of the present application, there are three use states, one of which is that the turbulence hole 51 is not over water, which is the first water path; the second is that the turbulence hole 52 is completely opened and can pass the maximum water flow, which is the second water path; the third is that the turbulence hole 52 is not completely opened and closed, which is between the first water path and the second water path, which is the third water path.

[0049] In the first water path state, the reference drawings attached to the specification Figure 3 and 4In this embodiment, water flows into the inlet end of the water outlet body 200, and then flows into the chamber 20 of the body 10 through the water inlet 21, and then flows through the narrow passage at the water outlet end of the water inlet, thereby generating a Venturi effect, increasing the flow rate, and reducing the static pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet. The main flow adheres to the first side wall 22 or the second side wall 23 under the action of the Coanda effect, and then enters the first water outlet 26 or the second water outlet 27 after the vortex effect of the chamber 20 (generated by the water flow directly in the arc-shaped groove 29). In the state one, water adheres to the first side wall and flows in the first water flow direction. When the water flows into the first water outlet 26, the first feedback waterway 30 starts to suck part of the water flow due to the negative pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet 21, thereby forming a branch flow. The feedback signal flow is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet, which is state two. When the first water cavity 210 is filled with water, the static pressure in the first water cavity 210 rises, and this pressure is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet through the first feedback waterway 30, so that the pressure on the left side of the main flow is greater than that on the right side, thereby driving the main flow to deflect and adhere to the second side wall 23. Water flows in the second water flow direction and flows to the second water outlet 27, which is state three. When the water flows into the second water outlet 27, the second feedback waterway 40 starts to suck the branch flow due to the negative pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet, thereby transmitting the feedback signal flow to the water outlet end of the water inlet, which is state four. When the second water cavity 220 is filled with water, the static pressure in the second water cavity 220 rises, and this pressure is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet through the second feedback waterway 40, so that the main flow deflects and adheres to the first side wall 22. Water flows in the first water flow direction and flows to the first water outlet 26, which is state five, and then enters state one again, thereby periodically moving in turn, so as to generate alternating pulse massage water flowers.

[0050] In the second waterway state, refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 7 and 8 In this embodiment, water flows into the inlet end of the water outlet body 200, and then flows into the chamber 20 of the body 10 through the water inlet 21, and then flows through the narrow passage at the water outlet end of the water inlet, thereby generating a Venturi effect, increasing the flow rate, and reducing the static pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet. The main flow adheres to the first side wall 22 or the second side wall 23 under the action of the Coanda effect, and then enters the first water outlet 26 or the second water outlet 27 after the vortex effect of the chamber 20 (generated by the water flow directly in the arc-shaped groove 29). In the state one, water adheres to the first side wall and flows in the first water flow direction. When the water flows into the first water outlet 26, the first feedback waterway 30 starts to suck part of the water flow due to the negative pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet 21, thereby forming a branch flow. The feedback signal flow is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet, which is state two. When the first water cavity 210 is filled with water, the static pressure in the first water cavity 210 rises, and this pressure is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet through the first feedback waterway 30, so that the pressure on the left side of the main flow is greater than that on the right side, thereby driving the main flow to deflect and adhere to the second side wall 23. Water flows in the second water flow direction and flows to the second water outlet 27, which is state three. When the water flows into the second water outlet 27, the second feedback waterway 40 starts to suck the branch flow due to the negative pressure at the water outlet end of the water inlet, thereby transmitting the feedback signal flow to the water outlet end of the water inlet, which is state four. When the second water cavity 220 is filled with water, the static pressure in the second water cavity 220 rises, and this pressure is transmitted to the water outlet end of the water inlet through the second feedback waterway 40, so that the main flow deflects and adheres to the first side wall 22. Water flows in the first water flow direction and flows to the first water outlet 26, which is state five, and then enters state one again, thereby periodically moving in turn, so as to generate alternating pulse massage water flowers.

[0051] In the third waterway state, refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 5 and 6As shown, the flow control device is partially opened, allowing the flow of water through the turbulence hole 50, in this state, the water flow from the water inlet end of the water outlet body 200, still most of the water flow from the water inlet 21 of the engine 100 into the chamber 20, only a small amount of water flow from the turbulence hole 50 into the chamber 20 for interference, in this state, the flow will not change greatly, and because the water area is constant, so the impact of the jet will not change too much, and only the pulse massage water flower generated in the engine 100 is weakened, thereby reducing the user's pulse feeling, of course, the user can adjust the pulse feeling by adjusting the water flow through the turbulence hole 50 through the flow control device, so that it is in its most comfortable state.

[0052] In addition, the massage water flower and the ordinary water flower, the water flower is not limited to the standard water, can be applied to sheet water, granular water, focused water, etc.
