In another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting pipe 20 may only include the connecting seat 22.

[0051] In the utility model, the mounting seat 121 is rotatably sealed and connected to the connecting seat 22, and there can be multiple specific connection methods. The applicant has proposed a connection method that is easy to assemble and has a stable structure through research and development. As a preferred method, a connecting column 14 is provided between the first end cover 11 and the second end cover 12, and a mounting hole 15 is provided on the connecting column 14. The mounting hole 15 runs through the first end cover 11 to the second end cover 12, and a guide shaft 40 is installed in the mounting hole 15. A stop groove 28 is provided on the connecting seat 22. In an embodiment, the stop groove 28 is a square groove, and a fixing groove 25 is provided in the stop groove, and the fixing groove 25 is a cylindrical groove. The guide shaft 40 includes a limiting end 41 for limiting the slipping of the water outlet seat 10, a guide portion 42 for guiding the rotation of the water outlet seat 10, and a stop portion 43, which are integrally formed. The axis of the guide shaft 50 forms an axial hole, and the guide portion 42 is arranged between the limiting end 41 and the stop portion 44. The connecting column 15 is sleeved outside the guide portion 42 in a manner that it can rotate relative to the guide portion 42, and the stop portion 43 is arranged in the stop groove 28 in a manner that it cannot rotate relative to the stop groove 28. When the stop portion 43 is inserted into the stop groove 28, the guide shaft 40 cannot rotate relative to the connecting seat 22. A limiting step 151 is provided in the mounting hole 15, and the limiting end 41 is arranged corresponding to the limiting step 151. It also includes a connecting screw 50, one end of which is inserted into the mounting hole 15 and the guide shaft 40 and fixed to the fixing groove 25, and the other end of the connecting screw 50 is provided with a bolt head 51 corresponding to the limiting end 41.

The nut is fixed on the fixing groove 25 of the connecting seat 22 and cannot rotate relative to the connecting seat 22, and the connecting screw 50 is threaded in the nut 52. During assembly, the connecting seat 22 is embedded in the mounting seat 121, the guide shaft 40 is inserted from the mounting hole 15, and the stop portion 43 is extended into the stop groove 28, the connecting screw 50 is inserted from the axial hole of the guide shaft 40 and screwed into the nut 52, the connecting screw 50 is turned so that the bolt head 51 pushes the limit end 41 to move to the limit step 151, and the connecting screw 50 is locked in the nut 52. The bolt head 52 can limit the axial slippage of the guide shaft 5, and the connecting column 14 can rotate relative to the guide portion 42. During the rotation of the connecting column 14, the limit step 151 will generate rotational friction with the limit end 41. Since the guide shaft 50 will not rotate relative to the connecting seat 22, the rotational friction will not be transmitted to the connecting screw 50, and the connecting screw 50 is not easy to loosen, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire connecting structure.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet is provided with an annular groove 26, and a sealing ring is provided in the annular groove 26, and the sealing ring abuts against the mounting seat 121. The sealing ring can prevent water leakage at the docking position between the mounting seat 121 and the water guide hole 27, and the sealing ring can also make the contact part between the connecting seat 22 and the mounting seat 121 maintain elastic contact, so as to facilitate the sealing rotation of the water outlet seat 10. The present invention can adjust the pressure degree of the sealing ring by connecting the screw 50, so as to ensure smooth rotation and achieve sealing.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting seat 22 is provided with a gear slot 23, in which an elastic member (not shown) and a ball 24 are provided, and the elastic member abuts against the ball 24 and the connecting seat 22, and a chute 123 cooperating with the ball 24 is provided on the mounting seat 121 corresponding to each of the water storage chambers 17, and a plurality of chute 123 are arranged around the connecting column 14. When the water outlet seat 10 rotates, the ball 24 can slide out of one chute 123 and enter another chute 123, and make a sound to remind the operator whether the switch is in place.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple water storage chambers 17 corresponding to the lower water outlet. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lower water outlet includes a first water outlet 191, a second water outlet 192, a third water outlet 193, and a fourth water outlet 194. The first water outlet 191 includes multiple evenly distributed fine holes to form raindrop-shaped water splashes. The second water outlet 192 is a long strip, and in the embodiment, it is an arc-shaped long strip hole to form a waterfall-like water splash. The third water outlet 193 is two short strip holes arranged oppositely. The two short strip holes are arranged oppositely to form a counter-flow water column and a water knife. The fourth water outlet 194 is a round hole, which can be used to install a common bubbler 196. In order to better guide the water outflow, a corresponding transfer tube 195 can be set between the water diversion hole 122 and the upper water outlet 18, and between the water diversion hole 122 and the lower water outlet as needed, and the upper water outlet 18 can be installed with a corresponding nozzle as needed.
