These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] It should be understood that references throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a shower device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of point A in the middle, Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The shower device may be provided with a fluid inlet R, and may include: a first water outlet device 100 , a second water outlet device 200 , a switching valve 300 and a control valve F.

[0057] The first water outlet device 100 is provided with a first fluid outlet t1. For example, the first water outlet device 100 may be a fixed shower.

[0058] The second water outlet device 200 is provided with a second fluid outlet t2. For example, the second water outlet device 200 can be a handheld shower. The first water outlet device 100 and the second water outlet device 200 are connected by a connecting pipe L.

[0059] The switching valve 300 is provided downstream of the fluid inlet R of the shower device. The switching valve 300 is used to control the flow of fluid from the fluid inlet R to the first fluid outlet t1 and / or the second fluid outlet t2 .

[0060] The control valve F is arranged in the second water outlet device 200 and is configured to control the second fluid outlet t2 to be in different water outlet states, the water outlet states including at least a no water state, a normal water outlet state, and a water pause state when the water outlet flow rate of the second fluid outlet is less than the normal water outlet state.

[0061] The switching valve 300 switches to different states in response to different water outlet states of the control valve F, so that the first fluid outlet t1 is in different water outlet states.

[0062] When the control valve F is in the water pausing state, the control valve F is configured to suspend the communication between the water channel and the second fluid outlet t2 , and the switching valve 300 controls the first fluid outlet t1 to be in a water-free state in response to this state.

[0063] By disposing a switching valve 300 downstream of the fluid inlet R of the shower device and a control valve F within the second water outlet 200, the control valve F can control the second fluid outlet t2 of the second water outlet 200 to have different water outlet states, and cooperate with the switching valve 300 to control the first fluid outlet t1 of the first water outlet 100 to have different water outlet states. In other words, when the second water outlet 200 is in a suspended water outlet state (low-flow or dripping water, not completely shut off), the first fluid outlet t1 of the first water outlet 100 is in a non-water supply state; when the second water outlet 200 is in a normal water outlet state, the first fluid outlet t1 of the first water outlet 100 is in a non-water supply state; and when the second water outlet 200 is not discharging water, the first fluid outlet t1 of the first water outlet 100 is in a water supply state. This enriches the functionality of the shower device and greatly enhances user flexibility and convenience.

[0064] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a shower device, which may include: a first water outlet device, a second water outlet device, a switching valve and a control valve. By providing a switching valve downstream of the fluid inlet of the shower device and providing a control valve in the second water outlet device, the control valve can control the second fluid outlet of the second water outlet device to be in different water outlet states, and cooperate with the switching valve to control the first fluid outlet of the first water outlet device to be in different water outlet states. That is, when the second water outlet device is in a suspended water outlet state (small flow water outlet or dripping state, not completely intercepted), the first fluid outlet of the first water outlet device is in a no-water supply state; when the second water outlet device is in a normal water outlet state, the first fluid outlet of the first water outlet device is in a no-water supply state; when the second water outlet device is in a no-water outlet state, the first fluid outlet of the first water outlet device is in a water supply state, which enriches the function of the shower device and greatly facilitates the user's flexibility and convenience.

[0065] Optional, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a partial structural diagram of a first water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5It is a partial structural diagram of a second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The second water outlet device 200 is provided with an operating portion for switching the water outlet state of the control valve F. The switching valve 300 includes: a switching valve seat 301, and a switching valve core 302 movably arranged in the switching valve seat 301. The switching valve 300 is provided with a first water outlet K1 capable of communicating with the first fluid outlet t1, and a second water outlet K2 capable of communicating with the second fluid outlet t2. When the control valve F is operated to switch the water outlet state, the fluid pressure in the fluid cavity between the switching valve 300 and the control valve F is changed. The change in fluid pressure directly or indirectly drives the movement of the switching valve core 302 and changes the on-off of the first water outlet K1 and / or the second water outlet K2.

[0066] A flow port K3 is provided on the switching valve core 302, and the flow port K3 always remains connected with the control valve F; when the control valve F is in the water pause state, the second water port K2 is cut off from the control valve F or is connected with a flow coefficient less than or equal to the flow coefficient of the pause water channel.

[0067] In this application, the switching valve core 302 has a first sealing portion M1 and a second sealing portion M2 arranged opposite each other. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first sealing portion M1 is smaller than that of the second sealing portion M2. The inner wall of the switching valve seat 301 cooperates with the first sealing portion M1 to form a first water passage K1, and the inner wall of the switching valve seat 301 cooperates with the second sealing portion M2 to form a second water passage K2. A through hole is formed in the second sealing portion M2 to form a flow port K3.

[0068] In this case, when the control valve F is operated to switch to the water outlet state, the fluid pressure in the fluid chamber between the switching valve 300 and the control valve F changes. Due to the different areas of the first sealing portion M1 and the second sealing portion M2, the switching valve core 302 moves to open and close the first water port K1 and / or the second water port K2. Here, when the second water outlet device 200 is in the normal water outlet state, the first water port K1 is disconnected and the second water port K2 is connected. When the second water outlet device 200 is in the water suspension state, the first water port K1 is disconnected and the second water port K2 is disconnected from the control valve F or connected with a flow coefficient less than or equal to the flow coefficient of the water suspension channel. When the second water outlet device 200 is in the non-water outlet state, the second water port K2 is disconnected and the first water port K1 is connected.

[0069] It should be noted that the water flow area of ​​the pause water channel may be larger than the water flow area of ​​the flow opening K3.

[0070] Optional, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram of another first water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 This is a partial structural diagram of another second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The control valve F includes: a valve seat 400 and a water diversion valve portion 500 that cooperates with the valve seat 400; one of the valve seat 400 and the water diversion valve portion 500 is provided with a water through hole, and the corresponding other is provided with a water flow hole T3. Part of the water through hole overlaps with the water flow hole T3 to form a suspended water flow hole. Alternatively, if one of the valve seat 400 and the water diversion valve portion 500 is provided with a suspended water flow hole T1, the component provided with the suspended water flow hole T1 is also provided with a normal water flow hole T2. Here, the water flow hole T3 is connected to the suspended water flow hole T1 to form a suspended water channel.

[0071] When the control valve F is in the normal water flow state, the water through hole is connected to the water passage hole T3. When the control valve F is not in the water flow state, the water passage hole T3 is disconnected from both the water through hole and the water suspension hole T1. It should be noted that if the valve seat 400 and the water diversion valve portion 500 are provided with the water suspension hole T1, the normal water through hole T2, and the water passage hole T3, when the control valve F is in the normal water flow state, the normal water through hole T2 is connected to the water passage hole T3.

[0072] Example, reference Figure 7 The water diverter valve 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400, aligning and connecting the normal water passage T2 and the water passage T3. This allows the switching valve core 302 to connect the second water passage K2 and seal the first water passage K1. Alternatively, the water diverter valve 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400, connecting the suspended water passage T1 and the water passage T3. This allows the switching valve core 302 to seal the first water passage K1, while the second water passage K2 is disconnected from the control valve F or connected with the flow coefficient of the suspended water passage. Alternatively, the water diverter valve 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400, disconnecting both the suspended water passage T1 and the water passage T2 from the water passage T3. This allows the switching valve core to connect the first water passage K1 and disconnect the second water passage K2.

[0073] For example, see Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the water diversion valve part 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400 so that the normal water through hole T2 is aligned and connected with the water through hole T3, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second sealing part M2 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first sealing part M1, the water pressure on the left side of the second sealing part M2 is greater than the water pressure on the first sealing part M1. Therefore, the switching valve core 302 moves to the right to seal the first water through the first sealing part M1, and the second water outlet device 200 discharges normal water, while the first water outlet device does not discharge water.

[0074] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, after the water diversion valve portion 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400 so that the pause water hole T1 is aligned and connected with the water flow hole T3, the water flow area of ​​the pause water hole T1 is now larger than the water flow area of ​​the flow hole K3. Since the water flowing through the flow hole K3 to the second water outlet device 200 will be discharged by the pause water hole, the water pressure on the right side of the second sealing portion M2 is almost zero or much lower than the water pressure on the left side. Because the cross-sectional area of ​​the second sealing portion M2 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first sealing portion M1, the water pressure on the left side of the second sealing portion M2 is greater than the water pressure on the first sealing portion M1, causing the switching valve core 302 to move rightward, and the second sealing portion M2 slightly separates from the second water flow port K2 to form a water flow gap, so that the first sealing portion M1 can seal the first water flow port K1, and the second water outlet device 200 can discharge paused water, while the first water outlet device 100 can not discharge water.

[0075] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the water diversion valve portion 500 moves relative to the valve seat 400 so that the pause water hole T1 and the normal water hole T2 are disconnected from the water flow hole T3, since the water flow to the second water outlet device 200 does not flow, the forces on both sides of the second sealing portion M2 cancel each other out due to the connection of the flow hole K3, and the right side of the first sealing portion M1 is subjected to water pressure, so the switching valve core 302 moves to the left to connect the first water flow port K1. At this time, the first water outlet device 100 discharges water, and the second water outlet device 200 does not discharge water.

[0076] In the examples of this application, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a partial structural cross-sectional view of a second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The operating portion is a push button 501. The valve seat 400 has a sliding cavity Q1. The water diversion valve 500 is movably disposed within the sliding cavity Q1. The sidewall of the second water outlet device 200 is provided with a sliding groove N1. The push button 501 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove N1 and is connected to the water diversion valve 500 to control the movement of the water diversion valve 500. Thus, by pushing the push button 501 to drive the water diversion valve 500 to move within the sliding cavity Q1, the water through hole and the water transfer hole T3 can be selectively opened and closed, or the opening and closing between the normal water through hole T2, the suspended water through hole T1, and the water transfer hole T3 can be controlled.

[0077] In this case, the push button 501 is used for control, which is ergonomic and simple. Simply push the button to the corresponding position for the desired water outlet mode, and it will be in place in one step. Here, the water diversion valve 500 can be provided with a pause water flow hole T1 and a normal water flow hole T2, and the valve seat 400 can be provided with a water flow hole T3; alternatively, the water diversion valve 500 can be provided with a water flow hole T3, and the valve seat 400 can be provided with a pause water flow hole T1 and a normal water flow hole T2.

[0078] For example, Figure 8As shown, the valve seat 400 may have a water hole T3, and the water diversion valve portion 500 may have a suspended water hole T1 and a normal water hole T2 arranged along the sliding direction of the water diversion valve portion 500. In an optional implementation, the outer wall of the water diversion valve portion 500 may have two first sealing grooves N2 distributed on both sides of the suspended water hole T1. The water diversion valve portion 500 may include a first sealing member 503 installed in the first sealing grooves N2. The normal water hole T2 may be located at the bottom of the water diversion valve portion 500.

[0079] In an alternative implementation, see Figure 9 , Figure 9 It is a partial structural cross-sectional view of another second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The inner side wall of the valve seat 400 may have a second sealing groove N3, a third sealing groove N4 and a fourth sealing groove N5 arranged along the extension direction of the sliding cavity Q1, and also include: a second sealing member 504 installed in the second sealing groove N3, a third sealing member 505 installed in the third sealing groove N4, and a fourth sealing member 506 installed in the fourth sealing groove N5. The water hole T3 in the valve seat 400 is distributed between the second sealing groove N3 and the third sealing groove N4. The water diversion valve part 500 may have a pause water hole T1 and a normal water hole T2 arranged along the sliding direction of the water diversion valve part 500. For example, each of the above-mentioned sealants may be an annular sealing ring.

[0080] Optional, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a partial cross-sectional view of another second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The control valve F may include a valve seat 400, a normal water flow valve core F1, a water pause valve core F2, a reset valve core F3, and a stabilizing member F4. The stabilizing member F4 is capable of reciprocating in one direction to engage and disengage with the aforementioned valve cores. An operating unit may be connected to each of the normal water flow valve core F1, the water pause valve core F2, and the reset valve core F3, respectively, and the operating unit can independently control the normal water flow valve core F1, the water pause valve core F2, and the reset valve core F3.

[0081] The operating unit operates the normal water flow valve core F1, which cooperates with the stabilizing member F4. The normal water flow valve core F1 cooperates with the valve seat 400 to form a normal water flow channel, which is connected to the second fluid outlet t2, so that the second fluid outlet t2 is in a normal water flow state. The operating unit operates the water pause valve core F2, which cooperates with the stabilizing member F4. The water pause valve core F2 cooperates with the valve seat 400 to form a water pause channel, which is connected to the second fluid outlet t2, so that the second fluid outlet t2 is in a water pause state.

[0082] The operation part operates the reset valve core F3 so that the normal water flow valve core F1 and the pause water flow valve core F2 are both disconnected from the stabilizing member F4, and the normal water flow channel and the pause water flow channel are both disconnected from the second fluid outlet t2, so that the second fluid outlet t2 is in a water-free state. Figure 10 As shown, the reset valve core F3 and the stabilizing member F4 can be optionally configured so that the reset valve core F3 will not be fixed by the hook of the stabilizing member F4 after the reset valve core F3 moves. Here, the first fluid outlet t1 is connected to the first water outlet K1.

[0083] like Figure 10 As shown, the operating unit includes: an overhead spray button 514, a pause button 515, and a shower button 516, arranged in sequence. One end of the overhead spray button 514 can be connected to the reset valve core F3, one end of the pause button 515 can be connected to the water pause valve core F2, and one end of the shower button 516 can be connected to the normal water flow valve core F1. The second water outlet device 200 can have a first connection hole (not shown) for sliding connection with the overhead spray button 514, a second connection hole for sliding connection with the pause button 515, and a third connection hole for sliding connection with the shower button 516.

[0084] The valve seat 400 also has a water inlet chamber Q2 and a water outlet chamber Q3, which are connected via the pause water hole T1 or the normal water hole T2. The first end D1 of the reset valve core F3, the first end D2 of the pause water valve core F2, and the first end D3 of the normal water valve core F1 all pass through the valve seat 400 and are located within the water inlet chamber Q2. For example, the valve seat 400 may have a support hole k1 that cooperates with the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3, a transition hole k2 that cooperates with the first end D2 of the pause water valve core F2, a pause water hole T1 located downstream of the transition hole k2, and a normal water hole T2 that cooperates with the first end D3 of the normal water valve core F1. It should be noted that the valve seat's water inlet chamber, normal water hole T2, and normal water valve core cooperate to form a normal water channel; while the valve seat's water inlet chamber, transition hole k2, pause water hole T1, and pause water valve core F2 cooperate to form a pause water channel.

[0085] Pressing the top shower button 514 causes the stabilizer F4 to move perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the top shower button 514, sealing the first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 with the transition hole k2 and the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 with the normal-flow hole T2. Pressing the pause button 515 causes the stabilizer F4 to move perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the pause button 515. After the first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 engages with the stabilizer F4, the water-pause channel is opened. The first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 is sealed with the normal-flow hole T2, and the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3 is sealed against the support hole k1. Pressing the shower button 516 causes the stabilizer F4 to move perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the shower button 516. After the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 engages with the stabilizer F4, the normal-flow channel is opened. The first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 is sealed against the transition hole k2, rendering the water-pause hole T1 closed.

[0086] For example, the operating unit further includes a first spring 511, a second spring 512, and a third spring 513. The first spring 511 can have its ends abut against the valve seat 400 and the end of the reset valve core F3 facing away from the shower button 514. The second spring 512 can have its ends abut against the valve seat 400 and the end of the water-pause valve core F2 facing away from the pause button 515. The third spring 513 can have its ends abut against the valve seat 400 and the end of the normal water-flow valve core F1 facing away from the shower button 516. The stabilizer F4 includes a stabilizer body 509 and a stabilizer spring 510. The stabilizer spring 510 can have its ends abut against the valve seat 400 and the stabilizer body 509, respectively.

[0087] For example, the stabilizer body 509 may have a first abutting portion that cooperates with the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3, a second abutting portion that cooperates with the first end D2 of the water pause valve core F2, and a third abutting portion that cooperates with the first end D3 of the normal water flow valve core F1. The stabilizer body 509 may also have a first clamping portion disposed adjacent to the second abutting portion and a second clamping portion disposed adjacent to the third abutting portion.

[0088] The first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 may have a third engaging portion that mates with the first engaging portion, and the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 may have a fourth engaging portion that mates with the second engaging portion. Here, the first, second, and third abutting portions may each have a first abutting slope, and the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3, the first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2, and the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 may each have a second abutting slope that mates with the first abutting slope.

[0089] For example, pressing the top shower button 514 causes the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3 to abut against the first abutting portion of the stabilizer body 509, which then pushes the stabilizer body to move. This causes the third engaging portion on the first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 to disengage from the first engaging portion of the stabilizer body, and the fourth engaging portion on the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 to disengage from the second engaging portion of the stabilizer body. Thus, under the elastic force of the second spring 512, the first end D2 of the water-pause valve core F2 is sealedly connected to the water-pause hole T1, cutting off the transition hole k2. Under the elastic force of the third spring 513, the first end D3 of the normal-flow valve core F1 is sealedly connected to the normal-flow hole. The elastic force of the first spring 511 causes the first end D1 of the reset valve core F3 to return to its initial position.

[0090] Pressing the pause button causes the first end D2 of the pause valve core F2 to abut against the second abutting portion of the stabilizer body, which then pushes the stabilizer body to move. This causes the third engaging portion on the first end D2 of the pause valve core F2 to engage with the first engaging portion of the stabilizer body, thereby opening the pause water passage. The elastic force of the third spring 513 seals the first end D3 of the normal water passage core F1 with the normal water passage.

[0091] Pressing the hand shower button causes the first end D3 of the normal water flow valve core F1 to abut against the third abutting portion of the stabilizer body, which then pushes the stabilizer body to move. This causes the fourth engaging portion on the first end D3 of the normal water flow valve core F1 to engage with the second engaging portion of the stabilizer body, allowing the normal water flow to pass through. The third engaging portion on the first end D2 of the pause water flow valve core F2 then disengages from the first engaging portion of the stabilizer body and, under the action of the second spring 512, returns to its initial position, sealing the transition hole k2 and shutting off the pause water flow.

[0092] In other implementations, refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a partial cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a second water outlet device provided by the present application. The operating portion may be a knob 508. The sidewall of the second water outlet device 200 may have a mounting hole rotatably connected to the knob 508. The water diversion valve portion 500 may be a water diversion tray 507. The water diversion tray 507 is disposed opposite the valve seat 400 and may have a temporary water flow hole T1 and a normal water flow hole T2, or a water flow hole T3.

[0093] For example, the water diversion plate 507 may be provided with a suspended water hole T1 and a normal water hole T2, and the valve seat 400 may be provided with a water hole T3. Thus, by rotating the knob 508, the water diversion plate 507 is rotated so that the suspended water hole T1 or the normal water hole T2 on the water diversion plate 507 is aligned and connected with the water hole T3 on the valve seat 400. Alternatively, the water diversion plate 507 may be provided with a water hole T3, and the valve seat 400 may be provided with a suspended water hole T1 and a normal water hole T2. Thus, by rotating the knob 508, the water diversion plate 507 is rotated so that the water hole T3 on the water diversion plate 507 is aligned and connected with the suspended water hole T1 or the normal water hole T2 on the valve seat 400.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the first water outlet device 100 is a fixed shower, the second water outlet device 200 is a handheld shower, and the second water outlet device 200 is detachably mounted on the first water outlet device 100. In this case, the detachable connection between the two facilitates two different usage requirements for the user: the second water outlet device 200 can be mounted on the first water outlet device to support the second water outlet device 200, or the two can be separated to use the second water outlet device in different scenarios.

[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, the second water outlet device 200 can include a shower head and a handle that are interconnected, and the valve seat 400 and the water diversion valve 500 can both be installed within the handle. Thus, installing the valve seat 400 and the water diversion valve 500 within the handle fully utilizes the internal space of the second water outlet device 200, ensuring that shower outlet modules of different sizes can be adapted to the shower head, thereby increasing the flexibility of the shower head.

[0096] For examples, please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 1 is a schematic diagram of another shower device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The first water outlet device 100 includes a mounting portion 101a, and the second water outlet device 200 is provided with a matching portion 101b corresponding to the mounting portion. The mounting portion 101a and the matching portion 101b are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure and / or a magnetic structure.

[0097] Optional, please refer to Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 13 This is a partial structural diagram of another first water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 14 This is a partial structural diagram of another second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 15 yes Figure 13 and Figure 14The assembly diagram of the structure shown. In one connection method, the mounting portion 101a has a fixed groove c1, a slider clip A1, and an elastic member A2. The slider clip A1 slides within the fixed groove c1, and the two ends of the elastic member A2 respectively abut against the sidewall of the fixed groove c1 and one end of the slider clip A1. The mating portion 101b has a slot c2 that engages with the other end of the slider clip A1.

[0098] In another connection method, the mounting portion 101a is provided with a magnet and / or magnetic conductive member 102, and the mating portion 101b is provided with a magnetic conductive member and / or magnet 202 that forms a magnetic attraction with the mounting portion 101a. In this way, the two can be connected by magnetic attraction, which is convenient for installation and removal.

[0099] Figure 12 and 14 The snap-on structure in the embodiment can be used in combination with a magnetic connection.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, a water outlet module 203 is provided in the second water outlet device 200. The water outlet module 203 has at least one spray mode, and the control valve F includes a spray switching valve for selecting the spray mode.

[0101] For examples, please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 This is a partial structural exploded diagram of a second water outlet device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 17 yes Figure 16 Another exploded schematic diagram of the second water outlet device is shown. The jet switching valve comprises a fixed base 204, a leather cup 205, and a first elastic member 206. The water outlet module 203 has multiple showerhead water inlets b1. The fixed base 204 is located between the water outlet module 203 and the inner wall of the second water outlet device 200. The leather cup 205 is fixed to the fixed base 204, contacts the water outlet module 203, and has water holes b2 corresponding to the multiple showerhead water inlets b1. The ends of the first elastic member 206 respectively abut the leather cup 205 and the fixed base 204.

[0102] For example, the fixed base 204 can rotate relative to the second water outlet device 200 so that the water hole b2 is connected to each shower water inlet b1, or the water outlet module 203 can rotate relative to the second water outlet device 200 so that each shower water inlet b1 is connected to the water hole b2.

[0103] In the present application, the fixed base 204 may have a fastening and mounting groove b3, into which the leather cup 205 may be mounted, and the outer wall of the leather cup 205 may be sealed against the inner wall of the fastening and mounting groove b3. Thus, after the leather cup 205 is installed in the fastening and mounting groove b3 of the fixed base 204, it expands when water flows through the leather cup 205, allowing the outer wall of the leather cup 205 to tightly contact the inner wall of the fastening and mounting groove b3, ensuring a sealed connection between the leather cup 205 and the fixed base 204. Simultaneously, a first elastic member 206 disposed on one side of the leather cup 205 can force the leather cup 205 into tight contact with the water outlet module 203, ensuring a sealed connection between the leather cup 205 and the water outlet module 203.

[0104] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, unless expressly limited otherwise.

[0105] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
