[0029] Referring to the drawings of the specification, a multifunctional water outlet device includes a water inlet 10 and a water outlet 20 that can be connected. A water diversion chamber 30 is provided between the water inlet and the water outlet. The water flow of the water inlet can flow through the water diversion chamber to the water outlet for discharge. A water diversion plate 40 is provided in the water diversion chamber. The water diversion plate is connected to a rotating shaft 41. One end of the rotating shaft can extend to the outside of the water diversion chamber. A knob 50 is also included. The knob can be connected to one end of the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft and the water diversion plate to rotate. By rotating the knob, the water diversion plate is driven. It rotates in the water diversion chamber to achieve function switching; it also includes at least two water outlets 21, the water outlets are arranged at intervals, and the water diversion plate is provided with a water outlet 42 that can adapt to the water outlet; an area 22 is provided between two adjacent water outlets. In one use, there are three water outlets and three areas, so that the three water outlets correspond to three water outlet functions. When the water outlet is matched with the area, the water flow in the water diversion chamber cannot be connected to the water outlet through the water port. At this time, it is in a water suspension state. For details, please refer to the attached figure of the instruction manual Figure 3 and Figure 7When the water outlet cooperates with the water outlet, the water outlet body discharges water; the area and the water outlet are distributed in a ring in the water diversion chamber, and the water outlet can be switched between the water outlet and the area. When the water outlet and the water outlet are connected, turning the knob in any direction can disconnect the water outlet and the water outlet, thereby realizing the switching of pausing water.

[0030] Preferably, a raised portion 23 is provided on the peripheral side of the bottom of the water diversion chamber, and the water outlet is provided in the raised portion. The raised portion, the water outlet and the area can be fan-shaped, and the raised portion can be sealed with the lower end surface of the water diversion plate. A balancing chamber 31 is formed at the upper end of the bottom of the water diversion chamber, the lower end of the bottom of the water diversion plate and the outer peripheral side of the raised portion. The water diversion plate divides the water diversion chamber into an upper and lower water inlet chamber 32 and a balancing chamber. The water inlet chamber and the balancing chamber can be connected in any state, so as to ensure that the water pressure on the upper and lower ends of the water diversion plate can be offset, and the water inlet chamber can be connected to the water inlet waterway. A balancing hole 43 is also provided on the water diversion plate, and the balancing hole can connect the water inlet chamber and the balancing chamber.

[0031] Furthermore, a groove 24 is provided on the peripheral side of the raised portion, and a sealing gasket 25 is provided in the groove. The sealing gasket can be an irregular sealing gasket. Please refer to the drawings in the specification for details. The sealing gasket can be connected with the lower end surface of the water diversion plate to ensure that the water flow in the balancing chamber cannot flow from the bottom of the water diversion plate to the water outlet. The outer contour of the raised portion can be adapted to the outer contour of the area, preferably a fan-shaped one, and the angles can be equal.

[0032] In order to reduce the pressure in the water diversion chamber, a water hole 44 is also provided on the water diversion plate. When the water diversion port is connected to the water outlet, the water diversion hole can be connected with the area. When the water diversion port is connected with the area, the water diversion hole can be connected with the water outlet. In this way, when the water is suspended, a small amount of water in the water diversion chamber is discharged through the water outlet.

[0033] Preferably, it also includes a spring 33 arranged in the water diversion chamber, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. One end of the spring can abut against the upper end surface of the water diversion plate, and the other end of the spring abuts against the partition, so that the water diversion plate can be pressed tightly against the sealing gasket.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, a connecting cover 60 is further included. The knob can be arranged on the connecting cover above the partition. A lower recess 26 is provided on the water outlet body. The connecting cover is buckled on the outer periphery of the lower recess. The connecting cover and the lower recess can form the water diversion cavity, specifically between the partition and the lower recess. The connecting cover can also be connected to the water inlet channel.

[0035] Furthermore, the area and the water outlet are arranged at a lower recess, and a sealing ring 61 is provided between the outer periphery of the lower recess and the inner periphery of the connecting cover.

[0036] Preferably, a partition 62 is provided in the middle of the connecting cover, and the water inlet cavity is formed between the lower end of the partition and the water diversion tray. The connecting cover is also provided with a water inlet connector 63, which can be plugged into the water inlet channel. A seal is also provided between the water inlet connector and the water inlet channel, and the water inlet channel can communicate with the water inlet cavity through the water inlet connector. The partition is provided with a perforation 64, through which one end of the rotating shaft can extend outside the water diversion cavity. A sealing ring 65 is provided between the outer periphery of the rotating shaft and the inner circumferential wall of the perforation. The cross-section of one end of the rotating shaft is square, which corresponds to the square hole of the knob (not shown in the figure) to achieve synchronous rotation. A gear groove 66 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting cover at the upper end of the partition, and a positioning column 51 that can cooperate with the gear groove is provided on the knob. The number of the gear grooves is equal to the sum of the number of water outlets and areas. In the embodiment in the figure, the number of gear grooves is six, and the number of water outlets and areas is three. The three areas can be connected together through the middle of the lower notch to form a balance chamber.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 When water flows from the balancing hole, the water pressure at the upper and lower ends of the water distribution plate will be the same, achieving the effect of balancing and saving effort when turning the knob; the water outlet of the water distribution plate corresponds to the water outlet of the water body, and each water outlet has a corresponding splash; when the water outlet seems to be coordinated with the area, the whole is in a state of suspended water.

[0038] The foregoing description shows and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the present invention as taught herein or through the techniques or knowledge of the relevant art.
