[0038] Preferably, the water outlet joint further comprises a sleeve 24, one end of the filter element can be fixed in the sleeve; the other end of the filter element can be connected in cooperation with the body. The inner peripheral wall of the sleeve is provided with a guide slope 25, the side wall of the sleeve is provided with a slot 26 that matches the guide slope, and the outer periphery of the filter element is provided with a buckle 32, the buckle can be connected with the slot after following the guide slope, so that the filter element is connected with the water outlet joint. When the utility model is used, the filter element is first connected with the water outlet joint, and then connected with the body.

[0039] Furthermore, a pressure spring 33 is provided in the cavity, one end of the pressure spring is connected to the main body, and the other end of the pressure spring is connected to the filter element or the water outlet joint. The pressure spring can separate the water outlet joint and the filter element from the main body when the clamping block is released from the clamping groove.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a ball head 51 and an upper cover 52. The ball head can be connected with the water inlet end of the body, and the upper cover can be connected with the outer periphery of the body to connect the ball head and the body together; the water outlet end of the ball head can be connected with the water outlet end of the filter element. In specific use, sealing rings are set between the parts that have water passing through to prevent water leakage.

[0041] In one use of the utility model, the water outlet connector includes a water outlet connector 27, which can be connected to the water outlet end of the filter element, and the water outlet connector is arranged in the axial direction or radial direction of the water outlet connector. When the water outlet connector and the water outlet connector are arranged coaxially, the shower head can be directly connected. When the water outlet connector is located in the radial direction of the water outlet connector, a socket or connecting part (magnetic connection) of the shower head can be arranged in the axial direction of the water outlet connector to realize water flow between the water outlet connector and the shower head through a hose. For details, reference can be made to the design method of the water outlet connector.

[0042] The utility model can be replaced by simply pressing a button, and this action can be used to replace the filter element and the water outlet joint; the utility model can be adapted to a variety of products, and new types of water outlet joints can be produced and developed to adapt to the structure of the utility model, because the operation and structure are simple, it has cost advantages.

[0043] To be more specific, the utility model can be divided into three modules: 1. The main body is a module; 2. The filter element is a module; 3. The water outlet connector is a module. The water outlet connector can be replaced. There are currently 4 design methods: 1. The water outlet connector cooperates with an ordinary shower head and can be tightened by conventional threads; 2. The water outlet connector cooperates with the shower head by magnetic attraction and cooperates through a magnetic attraction structure; 3. The water outlet connector cooperates with an ordinary shower head through a socket. An ordinary shower head can be directly hung on it; 4. The water outlet connector can be used directly as a shower head; making the water outlet connector have a more diversified design; the water outlet connector cooperates with the filter element: there is a raised buckle on the outer periphery of the filter element, and the water outlet connector has a slot. First, insert the convex point of the filter element into the water outlet connector by rotating and pressing, and lock it; forming a component that filters the water. This method can be used to disassemble the water outlet connector and the filter element through reverse operation; the water filtering component is directly pressed into the body, and is directly inserted into the body through the button guide. Due to the action of the spring, the button is pushed into the clamping groove. At this time, the structure is locked and water can be used. When disassembling to replace the filter element or water outlet connector: press the upper and lower buttons; the clamping block of the button is separated from the clamping groove in the body, and the elastic force of the pressure spring inside the cavity pushes the entire water filtering component out. Body: The ball head is locked into the body through the cooperation with the upper cover; this function allows the entire filter shower head to have a ball head for angle adjustment. The water outlet connector cooperates with the button, and has upper and lower limits. There are also multiple springs between the two. When pressed or no operation, the spring plays a reset role.

[0044] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the utility model concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field. The changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and should be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
