[0039] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] First embodiment

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 20 The water outlet device involved in this embodiment includes a water mixing regulating valve A for adjusting the outlet water temperature, and a water outlet nozzle B for separating water and steam; the water mixing regulating valve A and the water outlet nozzle B are assembled in cooperation with each other, specifically, the water outlet nozzle B is assembled at the end of the water mixing regulating valve A; the water vapor separation shell 11 in the water outlet nozzle B is provided with a water outlet portion 1102 for outputting water, and a steam outlet portion 1105 for discharging steam, the water outlet portion 1102 and the steam outlet portion 1105 are not connected to each other and do not interfere with each other, and the water outlet end of the water mixing regulating valve A is respectively connected to the water outlet portion 1102 and the steam outlet portion 1105, wherein the water is output to the water use end through the water outlet portion 1102, and the steam is discharged through the steam outlet portion 1105. This water outlet device modularly integrates the mixing water regulating valve A and the water outlet nozzle B into a whole, so that the water outlet device has both the water outlet temperature control function and the water vapor separation water outlet function. It can not only ensure that the water outlet temperature of the water outlet nozzle B is infinitely close to the water temperature regulated by the mixing water regulating valve A, but also separate the water body from the steam to avoid safety accidents caused by high-temperature steam. The modular integration of the water outlet nozzle B and the mixing water regulating valve A effectively reduces the installation process, simplifies the installation structure, and improves the assembly efficiency. It has strong integrity, strong versatility, and a wide range of applications.

Specifically, high-temperature water enters the water vapor chamber 1101 from the water outlet of the mixing water regulating valve A, and the water and steam are separated up and down in the water vapor chamber 1101 (steam is on top, water is on the bottom), and the water in the water vapor chamber 1101 immediately enters the water outlet 1102 to supply the water use end. Since the inlet end at the top of the isolation channel 1103 is higher than the inlet end at the top of the water outlet 1102, the water will not enter the isolation channel 1103; the steam in the water vapor chamber 1101 rises and reaches the inlet end at the top of the isolation channel 1103, enters the isolation channel 1103 under pressure, and then reaches the buffer chamber 1104 for buffering, and finally is discharged through the steam outlet 1105, thereby achieving a water vapor separation effect.
