[0031] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, five cylindrical holes with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the front part of the water outlet cylinder 4 are equidistantly arranged on the isolation baffle 3. The water outlet cylinder 4 can slide back and forth in these cylindrical holes, and a large round plate is provided at the rear end of each water outlet cylinder 4. The isolation baffle 3 is used to support the water outlet cylinder 4. Moreover, only when the water outlet cylinder 4 slides backward can the water in the inner cavity of the main housing 1 enter the inner cylindrical cavity through the round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4, so that the water can flow out through the water outlet faucet 8. After the water outlet cylinder 4 slides forward, the water cannot enter its interior through the round holes on its outer wall, avoiding water leakage.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, the faucet bracket 7 is composed of two rectangular plates in the front and back. A round hole with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the water outlet faucet 8 is provided at the middle position of each of these two rectangular plates. Two convex blocks are also provided on the outer side of the water outlet faucet 8, and two grooves with corresponding sizes are also provided on the front rectangular plate of the faucet bracket 7. When the water outlet faucet 8 needs to be connected to water, just align the rear end of it with the front side of one of the water outlet cylinders 4, and then push the water outlet faucet 8 backward. During this process, the water outlet cylinder 4 will also slide backward synchronously, and the convex blocks on the outer side of the water outlet faucet 8 will be embedded between the two rectangular plates of the faucet bracket 7. At this time, the water outlet of the water outlet faucet 8 can be rotated downward, and then the water outlet faucet 8 can be locked.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a cylindrical cavity with a front opening is provided inside each water outlet cylinder 4, and four round holes penetrating inside and outside are also provided on the outer wall of the rear part of the water outlet cylinder 4. The water outlet cylinder 4 is used to guide the water in the inner cavity of the main housing 1 into the water outlet faucet 8. Moreover, only when the water outlet cylinder 4 slides backward can the water in the inner cavity of the main housing 1 enter the inner cylindrical cavity through the round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4, so that the water can flow out through the water outlet faucet 8. After the water outlet cylinder 4 slides forward, the water cannot enter its interior through the round holes on its outer wall.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, when the two bumps outside the water outlet faucet 8 are stuck between the two rectangular plates of the faucet bracket 7, the water outlet faucet 8 will push the water outlet cylinder 4 to slide to the rearmost side. At this time, the four round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4 will be located in the cavity behind the isolation baffle 3. Therefore, the water in the inner cavity of the main housing 1 can enter the cylindrical cavity inside it through the round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4, so that the water can flow out through the water outlet faucet 8.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 4 shown, the front end of the spring 6 is in close contact with the rear surface of the water outlet cylinder 4. When the spring 6 pushes the water outlet cylinder 4 to slide to the foremost side, the round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4 will be located inside the cylindrical holes on the isolation baffle 3. When the position of the water outlet faucet 8 needs to be adjusted, just rotate the water outlet faucet 8 by 90° first. At this time, the bumps outside the water outlet faucet 8 will be aligned with the grooves on the front rectangular plate of the faucet bracket 7, and then the water outlet faucet 8 can be pulled forward to the foremost side. During this process, the rear end of the water outlet faucet 8 will be separated from the cylindrical hole on the isolation baffle 3, and at the same time, the spring 6 on the spring support plate 5 will also push the water outlet cylinder 4 to slide to the foremost side. After the water outlet cylinder 4 slides forward, the water cannot enter its interior through the round holes on its outer wall, avoiding water leakage.

[0036] Embodiment 2, on the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a layer of rubber can be wrapped on the outer wall of the rear circular plate of the water outlet cylinder 4 and on the rear end surface of the water outlet faucet 8. When the water outlet cylinder 4 slides to the foremost side, the rubber on the outer wall of its rear circular plate will be in close contact with the rear side surface of the isolation baffle 3. Therefore, the sealing performance of the contact surface between the water outlet cylinder 4 and the isolation baffle 3 can be improved, further enhancing the effect of preventing water leakage, and water seepage from the contact surface can also be avoided when the faucet 8 contacts the water outlet cylinder 4.

[0037] Working principle of this embodiment: During installation, the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 2 can be screwed to the indoor water pipe and valve. After the valve is opened, the water in the water pipe will flow into the cavity inside the main housing 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. When it is necessary to supply water to the water outlet faucet 8, just align the rear end of the water outlet faucet 8 with the front side of one of the water outlet cylinders 4, and then push the water outlet faucet 8 backward. During this process, the water outlet cylinder 4 will also slide backward synchronously. Moreover, the convex block on the outer side of the water outlet faucet 8 will be embedded between the two rectangular plates on the faucet bracket 7. At this time, the water outlet of the water outlet faucet 8 can be rotated downward, and then the water outlet faucet 8 can be locked. At this time, the water outlet cylinder 4 will also slide backward to the rearmost side. At this time, the water in the cavity inside the main housing 1 can enter the cylindrical cavity inside the water outlet cylinder 4 through the round holes on the outer wall of the water outlet cylinder 4, so that the water can flow out through the water outlet faucet 8. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the water outlet faucet 8, just rotate the water outlet faucet 8 by 90°. At this time, the convex block on the outer side of the water outlet faucet 8 will be aligned with the groove on the front rectangular plate of the faucet bracket 7, and then the water outlet faucet 8 can be pulled forward to the foremost side. During this process, the rear end of the water outlet faucet 8 will be disengaged from the cylindrical hole on the isolation baffle 3, and at the same time, the spring 6 on the spring support plate 5 will also push the water outlet cylinder 4 to slide to the foremost side. After the water outlet cylinder 4 slides forward, water cannot enter its interior through the round holes on its outer wall, avoiding water leakage. Then, the faucet bracket 7 can be pushed to slide left and right to adjust the position of the water outlet faucet 8.
