[0055] The second sealing opening 234 is aligned and connected with the second water diversion hole 252, and water enters the connector 300 from the water inlet cavity 310, and then flows through the outer flow channel 410 of the connecting pipe 400, the first water passage 210 of the second shower head 200, and the first water passage 230, and then enters the guide groove 235 of the sealing gasket 232. The water in the guide groove 235 is divided into two paths, one of which flows from the first sealing opening 233 to the first water diversion hole 251 and then enters the second water outlet channel 260, and the second shower head 200 discharges water; the other water flows from the second sealing opening 234 to the second water diversion hole 252, the perforation 271, and then enters the flow gap 270, and then enters the second water passage 220 from the second water passage 240, and then flows to the inner flow channel 420 of the connecting pipe, the water outlet cavity 320 and the first water outlet channel 110, and the first shower head 100 discharges water; in this gear position two, the two shower heads discharge water at the same time, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown;

[0056] Continue to rotate the adjustment ring 205 to drive the water outlet panel 204 and the water diversion body 203 to rotate synchronously until the gear pin 10 is in the gear three state. At this time, the first sealing opening 233 is aligned and connected with the second water diversion hole 252, and the first water diversion hole 251 is sealed and waterproof by the water stop pad 2024. Water enters the connecting head 300 from the water inlet chamber 310, and then flows through the outer flow channel 410 of the connecting pipe 400, the first water passage 210 of the second shower head 200, and the first water passage 230 to enter the guide groove 235 of the sealing gasket 232. The water in the guide groove 235 flows through the first sealing opening 233, the second water diversion hole 252, and the perforation 271 to enter the flow gap 270, and then enters the second water passage 220 from the second water passage 240, and then flows to the water outlet chamber 320 and the first water outlet channel 110, and the first shower head 100 discharges water. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 shown.
