Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0029] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a variable frequency water outlet assembly includes a body 10. The body has a water inlet channel 11 and a water distribution chamber 12 that are interconnected. The water distribution chamber has a first water outlet 13 and a second water outlet 14. The body has a first water nozzle 15 and a second water nozzle 16. The water flow directions of the first and second water nozzles are arranged in a staggered mesh pattern. The first water outlet is connected to the first water nozzle, and the second water outlet is connected to the second water nozzle. In this invention, the first and second water nozzles are combined to form a woven water spray pattern. Simultaneously, the first... The size range of the woven water splashes formed by the first and second water outlets is different; one is a small woven water splash, and the other is a large woven water splash. For details, please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. A rotating disk 20 is provided in the water distribution chamber. The rotating disk is provided with a water outlet 21 and a baffle plate 22. The water outlet and the baffle plate can be connected to the first and second water outlets. The rotating disk rotates in the water distribution chamber, and the baffle plate can alternately block the first and second water outlets. This allows the first and second water outlets to alternately discharge water, forming an alternating water spray of different sizes.

[0033] Furthermore, a pin 30 is provided inside the water distribution chamber, and an impeller 40 is sleeved on the pin. The impeller can rotate under the impact of the water flow. The impeller is connected to the rotating disk. The water flow impacts the impeller, which drives the impeller to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk to rotate as well.

[0034] Furthermore, a connecting shaft 41 is provided below the impeller 40. The connecting shaft is eccentrically positioned with the pin shaft. A through hole 23 concentric with the connecting shaft is provided on the rotating disk 20. The connecting shaft is connected to the through hole. The impeller can drive the rotating disk to rotate eccentrically relative to it. In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotation of the impeller and the rotating disk are rotations of different axes.

[0035] Preferably, the inner peripheral wall of the water distribution chamber is provided with planetary internal teeth 17, and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating disk is provided with planetary external teeth 24. The planetary internal teeth and planetary external teeth are connected in a meshing manner, and the meshing of the planetary internal teeth and planetary external teeth forms a planetary gear mechanism, so that the rotating disk has a deceleration effect relative to the impeller when it rotates.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, an inlet 18 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the water distribution chamber, and the water flowing out of the inlet can impact the impeller. The inlet is located beside the impeller; preferably, the inlet is also located on the upper side of the rotating disk, and the water flowing into the water distribution chamber from the inlet obliquely impacts the impeller, causing it to rotate.

[0037] The present invention further includes an upper cover 50, which is connected to the upper end of the water distribution chamber. A sealing ring 60 is provided between the water distribution chamber and the upper cover, so that the water flow will only flow in the direction of the two outlets.

[0038] Preferably, the main body is provided with at least two protrusions 19 on the side of the water distribution chamber, and the protrusions are provided with a first connecting hole 191. The upper cover is provided with at least two connecting pieces 51 on the side, and the connecting pieces are provided with a second connecting hole 52. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are connected together. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole can be connected by connecting screws (not shown in the figure) to fix the upper cover and the main body together.

[0039] Furthermore, a first insertion hole 53 is provided below the upper cover, and a second insertion hole 70 is provided on the main body located inside the water distribution cavity. The pin is located between the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole, thus fixing the pin well inside the water distribution cavity and ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0040] In this invention, the water-blocking plates on the rotating disk intermittently block the two water outlets, achieving periodic pulsed water flow. The water flow impacts the impeller, driving it to rotate. The impeller then drives the rotating disk to decelerate. The water-blocking plates on the rotating disk intermittently block the water outlets, resulting in an alternating pulsed water flow pattern in the mesh weaving process.

[0041] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or techniques or knowledge in related fields. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
