[0031] Furthermore, the second water outlet hole 22 includes a plurality of circular small holes, and the small holes are evenly spaced along the length direction of the water outlet rod 2 .

[0032] Specifically, the water outlet rod 2 is arranged along the radial direction of the support column 1. Optionally, the water outlet rod 2 is fixed to the circumferential surface of the support column 1 by welding. A valve core 11 is rotatably installed in the support column 1. The valve core 11 is used to connect the water pipe connected at the lower end with the first channel 23 or the second channel 24, or to isolate the water pipe from the first channel 23 and the second channel 24. The valve core 11 can adopt existing technology; during the use of the faucet, the knob 3 is rotated to adjust the angle of the valve core 11, so that when the first channel 23 is connected to the water pipe, the water in the water pipe flows through the first channel 23 to the first water outlet 21, and is discharged downward from the first water outlet 21. At this time, the water flow is in the shape of a water column, and when the second channel 24 is connected to the water pipe, the water in the water pipe flows through the second channel 24 to the second water outlet 22, and flows out through the second water outlet 22 in the shape of a long strip.
