Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being 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 being 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.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1 See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a water outlet device. Optionally, the water outlet device is a shower head or a faucet.

[0025] Specifically, the water outlet device includes a water outlet module.

[0026] The water outlet device is equipped with a water outlet hole 102. The water flow pattern output from the water outlet hole 102 can change.

[0027] It should be noted that changes in water flow patterns include: water flow velocity, water pressure, or outlet water pattern.

[0028] See Figures 3-5 In this embodiment, the water outlet module is configured to be installed on the water outlet device, and the water outlet module includes a drive component 2 and a water outlet component 1.

[0029] The water outlet assembly 1 includes a water outlet nozzle 12, and the water outlet assembly 1 is rotatable about a first axis.

[0030] The water outlet component 1 is positioned around the second axis at the output end of the drive component 2. The drive component 2 can drive the water outlet component 1 to rotate around the second axis, which is set at an angle to the first axis.

[0031] During operation, at least one water outlet 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 can communicate with the water outlet hole 102.

[0032] Optionally, the water outlet module includes multiple water outlet components 1, which are arranged around the second axis at the output end of the drive component 2; and / or The water outlet assembly 1 includes a plurality of water outlets 12 arranged around a first axis. During the movement of the water outlet assembly 1, at least two water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 can be connected to the water outlet 102 in turn.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet module includes multiple water outlet components 1, which are arranged around the second axis at the output end of the drive component 2; at the same time, the water outlet component 1 includes multiple water outlet nozzles 12 arranged around the first axis, and during the movement of the water outlet component 1, at least two water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet component 1 can be connected to the water outlet hole 102 in turn.

[0034] Furthermore, the water outlet assembly 1 can rotate continuously around the first axis.

[0035] Specifically, the water outlet device has multiple water outlet holes 102. The water outlet nozzle 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 can connect to each water outlet hole 102 in turn.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water outlet module and device are operated by a drive component 2 that drives each water outlet component 1 to rotate around a second axis. During the rotation of the water outlet component 1 around the second axis, multiple water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet component 1 rotate continuously around a first axis. At least two water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet component 1 alternately connect to the water outlet hole 102 of the water outlet device. During this alternating water output, the water outlet hole 102 of the water outlet device will intermittently output water. Thus, the water output of the water outlet device is not always constant; the water flow pattern output by the water outlet device changes with the overall rotation of the water outlet component 1 and the rotation of the water outlet nozzles 12, enriching the user's visual and tactile experience and enhancing the user experience.

[0037] Furthermore, when the shapes of the water outlet holes 102 are different or the shapes of the water outlet chambers of at least two of the multiple water outlets 12 are different, since the water outlet assembly 1 can rotate simultaneously along the first axis and the second axis, the water outlet device can make the same water outlet hole 102 produce water spray of different shapes at different times.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first axis is the axis of the water outlet component 1 itself. The water outlet component 1 rotates around the first axis and revolves around the second axis. As the water outlet component 1 revolves, the water outlet position of each water outlet component 1 changes continuously, similar to a carousel. During the revolving process, the water outlet component 1 also rotates around the first axis; as the water outlet component 1 rotates, at least two water outlets 12 of each water outlet component 1 connect to the water outlet hole 102 in turn, and at least two water outlets 12 emit water in turn. During the alternating water emission, the water outlet hole 102 of the water outlet device emits water intermittently, avoiding the monotony that would be caused by a continuous, uniform flow of water. In this way, the water emission pattern of the water outlet module can change, improving the user experience and enriching the user's visual and tactile experience.

[0039] To further enrich the variation of the water flow pattern output from the water outlet 102, optionally, in this embodiment, at least two of the water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 have different water outlet chamber shapes; and / or The water outlet module includes multiple water outlet holes 102. Among the multiple water outlet holes 102, at least two water outlet holes 102 have different shapes, and a water outlet 12 can be connected to the two water outlet holes 102 with different shapes in turn.

[0040] Among the multiple water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1, at least two water outlets 12 have different water outlet chamber shapes, so that the water outlet assembly 1 can directly output water of different types, thereby realizing the water type transformation of the water outlet module.

[0041] Among the multiple water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet module, at least two water outlet holes 102 have different shapes, and the shape change of the water flow output by the water outlet device is directly realized by the water outlet holes 102.

[0042] Optionally, the water outlet device may be: among the multiple water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1, at least two water outlets 12 have different water outlet chamber shapes; at the same time, among the multiple water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet module, at least two water outlet holes 102 have different shapes.

[0043] It can be that: among the multiple water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1, at least two water outlets 12 have different water outlet chamber shapes; at the same time, among the multiple water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet module, at least two water outlet holes 102 have the same shape.

[0044] Alternatively, at least two of the multiple water outlets 12 in the water outlet assembly 1 have the same water outlet cavity shape, and at least two of the multiple water outlet holes 102 in the water outlet module have different shapes.

[0045] Alternatively, at least two of the multiple water outlets 12 in the water outlet assembly 1 have the same water outlet cavity shape, and at least two of the multiple water outlet holes 102 in the water outlet module have the same shape.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet cavity shapes of the multiple water outlets 12 of the water outlet component 1 are all different; the shapes of the multiple water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet module are all the same. This arrangement enriches the water flow patterns output by the water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet device while reducing manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see Figures 1-4 The water outlet device also includes a housing 10, on which a water inlet chamber 101 and multiple water outlet holes 102 are provided. The water outlet module is disposed in the water inlet chamber 101, and the multiple water outlet holes 102 are arranged at intervals around a second axis. At least two water outlets 12 of the water outlet component 1 can communicate with the water outlet holes 102 in turn. In this way, the water flow pattern of the water outlet holes 102 of the water outlet device can be changed.

[0048] More specifically, multiple water outlet holes 102 are arranged at equal intervals around the second axis.

[0049] Specifically, the outer casing 10 of the water outlet device includes a first casing 107 and a second casing 108 that can be sealed and fastened together. The first casing 107 and the second casing 108 enclose a water inlet cavity 101, and the water outlet module is installed inside the water inlet cavity 101. The first casing 107 is provided with a water inlet 1071 that communicates with the water inlet cavity 101, and external water flows into the water inlet cavity 101 through the water inlet 1071. The second casing 108 is provided with a water outlet 102.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, when one of the water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 is rotated to communicate with a water outlet hole 102, the water outlet nozzle 12 can dispense water. At least two water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 with different water patterns can communicate with the water outlet hole 102 in turn.

[0051] With this configuration, the multiple water outlets 102 of the water outlet device are arranged in a circle, and the water outlet position of each water outlet component 1 changes in a carousel-like manner; the cooperation of multiple water outlet components 1 enriches the water flow pattern of the water outlet device.

[0052] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The drive assembly 2 includes a rotating mechanism 21 and a rotating frame 22.

[0053] The rotating mechanism 21 is capable of outputting a driving force to rotate about the second axis. More specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 21 can output a driving force to rotate about the second axis under the drive of water flow.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating mechanism 21 can also be an electric drive mechanism or other forms of drive, as long as it can output a driving force to rotate around the second axis, without much restriction here.

[0055] The rotating frame 22 is located at the output end of the rotating mechanism 21 and can rotate around the second axis. The water outlet assembly 1 is located on the rotating frame 22.

[0056] Furthermore, multiple water outlet components 1 are arranged around the second axis on the rotating frame 22. More specifically, multiple water outlet components 1 are arranged at intervals around the second axis on the rotating frame 22.

[0057] Driven by the water flow, the rotating mechanism 21 rotates around the second axis, thereby driving the rotating frame 22 to rotate around the second axis. During the rotation of the rotating frame 22 around the second axis, multiple water outlet components 1 revolve around the second axis.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 21 includes an inclined plate 211 and an impeller 212.

[0059] The inclined water plate 211 is provided with inclined water holes 2111. Specifically, the inclined water plate 211 is provided with multiple inclined water holes 2111.

[0060] Impeller 212 is located below inclined water plate 211, and the water outlet of inclined water hole 2111 can drive impeller 212 to rotate around the second axis. External water flows into water inlet 101 through water inlet 1071, and then flows out through inclined water hole 2111 and impacts impeller 212.

[0061] The rotating frame 22 is driven to connect with the impeller 212.

[0062] Specifically, the water outlet module is installed inside the housing 10 of the water outlet device during use. When external water flows into the housing 10, the flow direction is deflected and the flow velocity is redistributed as the water flows through the inclined water holes 2111, generating a swirling flow. The water outlet from the inclined water holes 2111 impacts the impeller 212, thereby driving the impeller 212 to rotate. During the rotation of the impeller 212, the rotating frame 22 is driven to rotate, realizing the revolution of multiple water outlet components 1.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the water outlet device can only output water through the water outlet hole 102 and to prevent water overflow or seepage from other parts of the water outlet device, a first sealing ring 2112 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the inclined water plate 211. A second sealing ring 1081 is provided between the surfaces of the second housing 108 and the first housing 107 that are in contact.

[0064] Specifically, a first stepped surface for receiving the impeller 212 is provided inside the second housing 108, and a second stepped surface for receiving the inclined water plate 211 is also provided. Both the first and second stepped surfaces are annular, and the inner diameter of the second stepped surface is the same as the outer diameter of the first stepped surface.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 To prevent the multiple water outlet components 1 from rotating too fast, which could lead to unstable water patterns, the drive component 2 also includes a cycloidal wheel 23. The cycloidal wheel 23 is eccentrically connected to the output end of the rotating mechanism 21 relative to the second axis, and the rotating frame 22 is drivenly connected to the cycloidal wheel 23. The water outlet device includes a gear ring structure 106, which has more teeth than the cycloidal wheel 23. The cycloidal wheel 23 can perform planetary motion within the gear ring structure 106 and can mesh with the gear ring structure 106 to form a cycloidal deceleration structure.

[0066] The gear ring structure 106 and the cycloidal wheel 23 form a cycloidal reduction structure. The number of teeth in the gear ring structure 106 is greater than the number of teeth in the cycloidal wheel 23, which reduces the rotational speed of the cycloidal wheel 23, thereby reducing the rotational speed of the rotating frame 22. After the rotational speed of the rotating frame 22 decreases, the revolution speed of the water outlet component 1 decreases, that is, the speed at which the water outlet component 1 switches between water outlet positions decreases. At each water outlet position, the water outlet component 1 can stably outlet water.

[0067] Specifically, the cycloidal wheel 23 is eccentrically fixed to the impeller 212, and the impeller 212 drives the cycloidal wheel 23 to rotate.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 On the inner wall of the outer casing 10 of the water outlet device, a gear ring structure 106 is provided to cooperate with the cycloidal wheel 23. The gear ring structure 106 is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the outer casing 10.

[0069] Specifically, the gear ring structure 106 is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 108.

[0070] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the rotating frame 22 includes a rotating frame body 221 and a rotating shaft 222.

[0071] The rotating frame 221 is located at the output end of the rotating mechanism 21.

[0072] A water outlet component 1 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 222.

[0073] More specifically, in this embodiment, there are multiple rotating shafts 222. These multiple rotating shafts 222 are spaced apart around a second axis on the rotating frame 221, and each rotating shaft 222 can rotatably mount a water outlet component 1. The extending direction of each rotating shaft 222 is consistent with the axial direction of the water outlet component 1 on that rotating shaft 222.

[0074] The output end of the rotating mechanism 21 drives the rotating frame 221 to rotate, and the rotating frame 221 in turn drives each rotating shaft 222 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of each rotating shaft 222 around the second axis, it also synchronously drives each water outlet component 1 to revolve around the second axis.

[0075] It is understandable that, since the water outlet component 1 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 222, the water outlet component 1 can rotate around the first axis during its revolution.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cycloidal wheel 23 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 231. The plurality of mounting holes 231 are spaced apart around the axis of the cycloidal wheel 23; the rotating frame 221 is provided with a plurality of plug-in pins 2211, each plug-in pin 2211 being interference-fitted into a mounting hole 231.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, see Figure 6 The rotating frame 221 includes a rotating main shaft 2212, and a plurality of branch shafts 2213 are provided on the side of the rotating main shaft 2212. Each branch shaft 2213 is provided with a plug-in post 2211.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to supply water to the water outlet component 1 in the water outlet device, a water supply groove 2221 is provided on the rotating shaft 222, and the water supply groove 2221 is connected to at least one water outlet 12 of the water outlet component 1.

[0079] That is, in the water outlet device, the water flows through the water supply groove 2221 to the water outlet component 1, and then flows to the water outlet nozzle 12 on the water outlet component 1 that is connected to the water supply groove 2221.

[0080] To ensure that the rotating frame 22 can only rotate around the second axis and to prevent the rotating frame 22 from deviating relative to the second axis during rotation, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the outer shell 10 is provided with a mounting shaft 105, the axis of the mounting shaft 105 is the second axis, and the rotating main shaft 2212 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 105.

[0081] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting shaft 105 is disposed on the bottom wall of the second housing 108.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 In order to enable the water outlet component 1 to rotate, the inner wall of the outer shell 10 is provided with a plurality of first meshing grooves 103, and each first meshing groove 103 has a water outlet hole 102 at the bottom of the groove, and the water outlet 12 can mesh with the first meshing groove 103.

[0083] Optionally, in some embodiments, multiple first meshing grooves 103 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence. Thus, during the movement of the water outlet assembly 1, the multiple water outlets 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 can alternately connect with different first meshing grooves 103, thereby alternately connecting with different water outlet holes 102, achieving intermittent water output from each water outlet hole 102. With this arrangement, during the revolution of the water outlet assembly 1 around the second axis, since the first meshing grooves 103 and the water outlets 12 are in a meshing state (similar to gear meshing), with the force of revolution, the water outlet assembly 1 will rotate relative to the rotating shaft 222 and rotate from one first meshing groove 103 to another adjacent first meshing groove 103, thereby achieving the rotation of the water outlet assembly 1.

[0084] Furthermore, to ensure that the water flow from the outlet 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 has a certain impact force when discharging water, a second engagement groove 104 is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 10 between every two adjacent first engagement grooves 103. The second engagement groove 104 is a blind groove, and the outlet 12 can engage with the second engagement groove 104. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first engagement groove 103 and the second engagement groove 104 are located on the bottom plate of the second shell 108.

[0085] Optionally, in some embodiments, a second engagement groove 104 is provided between any two adjacent first engagement grooves 103.

[0086] Optionally, in other embodiments, a plurality of second engagement grooves 104 are provided between any two adjacent first engagement grooves 103.

[0087] Optionally, in some embodiments, a second meshing groove 104 is provided between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103; and a plurality of second meshing grooves 104 are provided between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103. The number of second meshing grooves 104 between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103 in this part can be the same or different, that is, the distance between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103 in this part can be the same or different.

[0088] With this configuration, during the movement of the water outlet assembly 1, when one of the water outlet nozzles 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 rotates to engage with a second engagement groove 104, the water outlet nozzle 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 will not discharge water; the water outlet assembly 1 can briefly store water, so that when the water outlet nozzle 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 rotates to engage with the first engagement groove 103 adjacent to the second engagement groove 104, the water flow from the water outlet nozzle 12 has sufficient impact force.

[0089] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 8-10 The water outlet assembly 1 also includes a water distribution body 11, which is rotatable around a first axis and is located at the output end of the drive assembly 2. The water outlet nozzle 12 is located on the water distribution body 11.

[0090] Furthermore, multiple water outlets 12 are spaced apart on the water distribution body 11 around the first axis.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water distribution body 11 is provided with an installation cavity 111, which is configured to be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 222. More specifically, the rotating shaft 222 and the installation cavity 111 are clearance-fitted to achieve relative rotation between them.

[0092] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 The water distribution body 11 is provided with a first flow channel 13, which is connected to at least one water outlet 12.

[0093] Specifically, the first flow channel 13 includes the main flow channel and the branch flow channel 131.

[0094] External water flow can enter the main flow channel of the first flow channel. More specifically, the main flow channel of the first flow channel is the installation cavity 111, into which external water flow can enter.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, external water flows into the mounting cavity 111 through the water supply groove 2221.

[0096] The inlet end of the first flow channel branch channel 131 is connected to the main flow channel of the first flow channel, and the outlet end of the first flow channel branch channel 131 is connected to a water outlet 12.

[0097] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first flow channel 13 includes a plurality of first flow channel branch channels 131, and the first flow channel branch channels 131 and the water outlet 12 connected to the first flow channel 13 are respectively arranged.

[0098] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first flow channel 13 includes three first flow channel branch channels 131, and the three first flow channel branch channels 131 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the three water outlets 12.

[0099] Optionally, in this embodiment, the three water outlets 12, which are arranged one-to-one with the three first flow channel sub-channels 131, can respectively discharge particulate water, blade water and high-pressure water.

[0100] It is understandable that among the three water outlets 12 that are set one-to-one with the three first flow channel sub-channels 131, when one of the water outlets 12 is discharging water, the other two water outlets 12 can serve as water inlets to supply water to the water distribution body 11.

[0101] Furthermore, in this embodiment, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The outer surface of the water distribution body 11 is recessed with a second flow channel 14 and a receiving tank 15. The inner wall of the second flow channel 14 is tangent to the inner wall of the receiving tank 15. External water can enter the receiving tank 15 through the second flow channel 14. A water outlet 12 is connected to the receiving tank 15.

[0102] The inner wall of the second flow channel 14 is tangent to the inner wall of the receiving tank 15. With this arrangement, when the water flowing from the second flow channel 14 flows into the receiving tank 15, the tangent position of the two flows smoothly and bends, forming a smooth tangential flow guiding effect on the water flow. This guides the water flow smoothly into the receiving tank 15, where the water flow forms a central low-pressure vortex. The centrifugal force of the water flow pulls and tears the water film, forming a fine water mist, which causes the water outlet 12 connected to the receiving tank 15 to spray atomized water.

[0103] Furthermore, a second flow channel 14 is provided on each side of the receiving tank 15. This makes the swirling flow within the receiving tank 15 symmetrical and uniform, forming more uniform atomized water.

[0104] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet 12 is welded to the water distribution body 11.

[0105] Further, see Figures 9-11 The water outlet 12, which is provided with a corresponding receiving tank 15, has a first mounting rib 121 on its mounting surface. The first mounting rib 121 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the water distribution body 11. The first mounting rib 121 has an avoidance notch 1211 to avoid the second flow channel 14.

[0106] Specifically, the water outlet 12, which corresponds to the second flow channel 14, is welded to the outer surface of the water distribution body 11 via a first mounting rib 121. The first mounting rib 121 prevents water leakage between the water outlet 12, which corresponds to the second flow channel 14, and the outer surface of the water distribution body 11.

[0107] Specifically, the other three water outlets 12 are each provided with a second mounting rib 122. The second mounting rib 122 is in the form of a continuous ring. The other three water outlets 12 are all welded to the outer surface of the water distribution body 11 through the second mounting rib 122.

[0108] Optionally, in this embodiment, the angle between the water outlet direction of each water outlet 12 and the surface of the water outlet device where the water outlet hole 102 is provided is the same. That is, the water outlet direction of each water outlet 12 is the same.

[0109] For example, in this embodiment, the angle between the water outlet direction of each water outlet 12 and the surface of the outer shell 10 where the water outlet hole 102 is provided is a right angle. With this configuration, the overall water outlet of the water outlet device is columnar.

[0110] For example, in this embodiment, the water flow path of the water outlet component 1 is as follows: A portion of the water entering the housing 10 of the water outlet device flows through the mounting cavity 111 to the three first flow channel branch channels 131, and then flows through each of the first flow channel branch channels 131 to the three water outlets 12 corresponding to the three first flow channel branch channels 131; another portion of the water entering the housing 10 of the water outlet device flows through the second flow channel 14 to the receiving tank 15, and then is supplied through the receiving tank 15 to the water outlets 12 that emit atomized water; during the rotation of the water outlet assembly 1, the four water outlets 12 alternately connect with the water outlet holes 102 on the housing 10, thereby realizing the continuous change of the water pattern emitted by the water outlet device.

[0111] For example, in this embodiment, the assembly process of the water outlet device is as follows: Multiple water outlet components 1 are installed onto multiple rotating shafts 222 respectively; then the rotating frame 22 is installed onto the mounting shaft 105; next, the cycloidal wheel 23 is placed inside the second housing 108 and the cycloidal wheel 23 is installed together with the rotating frame 22; the impeller 212 is placed above the cycloidal wheel 23 and fixedly connected to the cycloidal wheel 23; then the inclined water plate 211 is placed above the impeller 212, and the first housing 107 is installed onto the second housing 108.

[0112] For example, in this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 1 includes four water outlets 12, and the water flow from the four water outlets 12 is atomized water, high-pressure water, blade water, and granular water, respectively. The water outlets 12 are all frustum-shaped.

[0113] The water outlet device is provided with eight first meshing grooves 103 and eight water outlet holes 102, each of which is connected to the water inlet chamber; a second meshing groove 104 is provided between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103.

[0114] During the water discharge process, four of the eight water outlet holes 102 are always directly supplied with water from the water inlet chamber to achieve ordinary water column discharge, while the other four water outlet holes 102 are supplied with water from four water outlet components 1 respectively, so as to avoid water flow interruption during user use.

[0115] Specifically, in Figures 12-15 In the image, a dashed line with an arrow indicates the path of the water flow.

[0116] See Figure 12 , Figure 12 The diagram shows the water flow path of the atomized water output from the water outlet device.

[0117] See Figure 13 , Figure 13 The diagram shows the water flow path of the water outlet device that outputs powerful water.

[0118] See Figure 14 , Figure 14 The diagram shows the water flow path of the water output blades from the water outlet device.

[0119] See Figure 15 , Figure 15 The diagram shows the water flow path of the water output device that produces particulate water.

[0120] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the water outlet device has four water outlets 12 and eight first engagement grooves 103, with a second engagement groove 104 between two adjacent first engagement grooves 103. During operation, each water outlet assembly 1 has its four water outlets 12 sequentially engaging with one first engagement groove 103, one second engagement groove 104, another first engagement groove 103, and another second engagement groove 104. During engagement, the water outlet 12 engaged with the second engagement groove 104 cannot dispense water. That is, in each water outlet assembly 1, there are always two water outlets 12 that do not dispense water. To ensure that the water outlet device can have four water outlet patterns, the initial installation directions of the four water outlet assemblies 1 are staggered. That is, in the same state, the water outlet patterns of the water outlets 12 engaged with the first engagement grooves 103 of the four water outlet assemblies 1 are all different.

[0121] It is understandable that during the water discharge process, four of the eight water outlet holes 102 are supplied with different water types by four water outlet components 1; the other four water outlet holes 102 are directly supplied with water by the water inlet chamber 101 to achieve columnar water discharge.

[0122] Of course, in other embodiments, the water outlet device has four water outlets 12, each of which produces four different types of water; the water outlet device has eight first engagement grooves 103, and no second engagement groove 104 is provided between two adjacent first engagement grooves 103.

[0123] Example 2 This embodiment provides a water outlet device.

[0124] In this embodiment, the same or corresponding components are referred to by the same reference numerals.

[0125] This embodiment only describes the differences from Embodiment 1.

[0126] Specifically, see Figure 16 In this embodiment, the water outlet module includes six water outlet components 1; correspondingly, the rotating frame 221 is provided with six rotating shafts 222.

[0127] The outer casing 10 has six water outlet holes 102. There are six first engagement grooves 103, and correspondingly, there are also six water outlet holes 102; a second engagement groove 104 is provided between two adjacent first engagement grooves 103. Of course, in other embodiments, the second engagement groove 104 may not be provided between two adjacent first engagement grooves 103.

[0128] Specifically, in this embodiment, the angle between the water outlet direction of each water outlet 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 and the surface of the water outlet device provided with the water outlet hole 102 is different.

[0129] That is, in the water outlet assembly 1, the water outlets 12 have different water outlet directions.

[0130] With this configuration, the angle of the water outlet will change during the water discharge process. That is, when different water outlets 12 discharge water, the direction of water discharge will also change, further enriching the water flow pattern of the water outlet 102.

[0131] Specifically, see Figures 17-20 In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 1 includes two water outlets 12, and the water outlets 12 have different water outlet directions. The water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 1 will also change during operation.

[0132] Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be set such that the water outlets 12 have the same water outlet direction, and among the multiple water outlets 102, at least two water outlets 102 have different water outlet directions.

[0133] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since there are two water outlets 12, in order to ensure that the water outlet assembly 1 can engage and rotate with the second housing 108, a meshing block 16 with the same shape as the water outlet 12 can be provided on the outer periphery of the water distribution body 11. That is, the meshing block 16 is also frustum-shaped. The meshing block 16 does not dispense water. Multiple water outlets 12 and meshing blocks 16 are arranged at equal intervals around the first axis. In this way, the water outlet interval of different water outlet patterns can be adjusted, further enriching the user's visual experience.

[0134] It is understandable that the six first engagement grooves 103 can be arranged sequentially adjacent to each other. Alternatively, a second engagement groove 104 can be arranged between two adjacent first engagement grooves 103.

[0135] In this embodiment, there are two water outlets 12, and two meshing blocks 16 are arranged on the outer periphery of the water distribution body 11. The meshing blocks 16 are also frustum-shaped. The two water outlets 12 are arranged opposite each other, and the two meshing blocks 16 are arranged opposite each other. The two water outlets 12 and the two meshing blocks 16 are arranged at equal intervals around the first axis.

[0136] With this configuration, the water outlet direction of the water outlet hole 102 connected to the water outlet nozzle 12 in the water outlet device can be changed; the water outlet direction of the water outlet hole 102 directly supplied by the water inlet chamber 101 is... Figure 19 As shown, vertically downwards.

[0137] Specifically, in this embodiment, a second meshing groove 104 is provided between two adjacent first meshing grooves 103. For every 30° rotation of the rotating frame 22 around the second axis, the water outlet nozzle 12 in the water outlet assembly 1 also changes.

[0138] For example, in this embodiment, see Figure 18 When the water outlet assembly 1 is in the first position, the first water outlet nozzle 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 is connected to a water outlet hole 102, and the water outlet hole 102 expands outward. See also Figure 19 When the rotating frame 22 rotates 30° around the second axis, the water outlet assembly 1 moves to the second position. At this time, one water outlet 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 faces upward, and the other water outlet 12 faces downward and is located in the second meshing groove 104. At this time, the water outlet assembly 1 does not discharge water, and water is discharged from the water outlet hole 102 of the water outlet device, which is directly supplied with water from the water inlet chamber 101. The overall water discharge of the water outlet device is columnar. See also Figure 20 When the rotating frame 22 rotates 30° around the second axis again, the water outlet assembly 1 moves to the third position, and the first water outlet 12 of the water outlet assembly 1 is connected to a water outlet hole 102, and the water outlet hole 102 is in a concave shape.

[0139] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
