[0038] The utility model is a water outlet structure, and its working principle is as follows:

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the arrow indicates the direction of water flow: the water flows into the water inlet channel 21, and first hits the first-level conical surface 11 of the buffer 1, and obtains the first buffering deceleration, then the water flow turns and enters the buffer 1 from the water inlet hole 12 on the side of the buffer 1, and the water flow is further buffered; the water flow entering the buffer 1 hits the second-level conical surface 13 of the buffer 1, and obtains the third buffering, and then the water flow is output from the outlet of the buffer 1 and flows to the water outlet channel 22; the water flow entering the water outlet channel 22 passes through the rectifying component 3, and is combed by the various rectifying holes 31 of the rectifying component 3, and finally obtains soft, neatly-shaped columnar water splashes, which have a good soft impact feeling, can prevent or greatly reduce the occurrence of water splashes, and bring a good experience to users.
