[0061] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Specifically, the terms "first position" and "second position" refer to two different positions.

[0063] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet structure with more diverse functions, which can meet different user needs and improve the user experience. The water outlet structure includes a main structure 1, a first switching component 2, and a second switching component 3.

[0065] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The main structure 1 is provided with an inlet channel 121, a first outlet channel 122, a second outlet channel 131, and a third outlet channel 132. The inlet channel 121 can be selectively connected to one of the first outlet channels 122, the second outlet channel 131, and the third outlet channel 132. The first switching component 2 is movably disposed on the main structure 1 and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the inlet channel 121 is connected to the first outlet channel 122, and the water outlet structure can discharge water in a first mode. In the second position, the inlet channel 121 is disconnected from the first outlet channel 122 and can be selectively connected to one of the second outlet channels 131 and the third outlet channel 132. The second switching component 3 is movably disposed on the main structure 1 and located at the intersection of the inlet ends of the second water outlet channel 131 and the third water outlet channel 132. The second switching component 3 has a third position and a fourth position. In the third position, the water inlet channel 121 is connected to the second water outlet channel 131, and the water outlet structure can discharge water in the second mode. In the fourth position, the water inlet channel 121 is connected to the third water outlet channel 132, and the water outlet structure can discharge water in the third mode.

[0066] In the water outlet structure provided in this embodiment, when the first switching component 2 is switched to the first position, the water inlet channel 121 is connected to the first water outlet channel 122, and the water inlet channel 121 is not connected to the second water outlet channel 131 or the third water outlet channel 132. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at this time, water is flowing through the first water outlet channel 122, enabling the water outlet structure to discharge water in the first mode. Figure 3 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of water flow. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the first switching component 2 is switched to the second position, the water inlet channel 121 is not connected to the first water outlet channel 122, and the water inlet channel 121 can be selectively connected to either the second water outlet channel 131 or the third water outlet channel 132. Figure 5 The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of water flow. Specifically, when the second switching component 3 is in the third position, the inlet channel 121 is connected to the second outlet channel 131 but not to the third outlet channel 132. At this time, water flows through the second outlet channel 131, allowing the water outlet structure to discharge water in the second mode. When the second switching component 3 is in the fourth position, the inlet channel 121 is connected to the third outlet channel 132 but not to the second outlet channel 131. At this time, water flows through the third outlet channel 132, allowing the water outlet structure to discharge water in the third mode.

[0067] That is, by operating the first switching component 2 to switch between the first and second positions, and by operating the second switching component 3 to switch between the third and fourth positions, the water outlet structure can output water in the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode respectively. In other words, the water outlet structure has at least three water outlet modes, making its functions more diversified, meeting different user needs, and improving the user experience.

[0068] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The first switching component 2 includes a water outlet pipe 21. The first end of the water outlet pipe 21 is slidably disposed within the water inlet channel 121 and the first water outlet channel 122 along a preset direction, and can selectively connect the water inlet channel 121 and the first water outlet channel 122. The main structure 1 includes a main body shell 11 covering the water outlet pipe 21. The second end of the water outlet pipe 21 is provided with a first water outlet 2121. In the first position, the first water outlet 2121 is exposed outside the main body shell 11; in the second position, the first water outlet 2121 is hidden inside the main body shell 11. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when the water outlet pipe 21 slides to the first position, the water inlet channel 121, the first water outlet channel 122, and the water outlet pipe 21 are connected, and the first water outlet 2121 is exposed outside the main body shell 11. Water in the water inlet channel 121 flows through the first water outlet channel 122 and the water outlet pipe 21 to the first water outlet 2121, causing the first water outlet 2121 to discharge water in the first mode. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the water outlet pipe 21 slides to the second position, the water inlet channel 121 is not connected to the first water outlet channel 122, no water flows in the water outlet pipe 21, and the first water outlet 2121 is hidden inside the main body shell 11, making the exterior of the water outlet structure neat and beautiful.

[0069] For example, the preset direction is the length direction of the water outlet pipe 21, specifically in this embodiment. Figure 2 In the middle, the preset direction is left and right, the left end of the water outlet pipe 21 is the first end, and the right end of the water outlet pipe 21 is the second end.

[0070] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 and combined Figure 6 The water outlet 2121 has an angle with the water outlets 131 and 132. That is, the water outlet 2121 has a different water outlet direction than the second and third water outlets 131, so that the water outlet structure has at least two water outlet directions to meet different usage requirements.

[0071] Optionally, the water output from the first water outlet 2121 is mouthwash, which can meet the user's mouthwashing needs. In this embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 In the orientation of the first water outlet 2121, the water outlet direction is tilted upward. When the first switching component 2 is switched to the first position, the first water outlet 2121 protrudes outside the main body shell 11 and can spray water upward. At this time, the user can use the water output from the first water outlet 2121 to rinse their mouth without needing to use a separate rinsing cup, thus meeting the user's rinsing needs. Furthermore, when the water outlet structure is in use, the first water outlet 2121 is tilted towards the user, which is more conducive to the user rinsing their mouth.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the water outlet direction of the first outlet 2121 can also be designed to be downward, left or right, depending on the actual usage requirements, and is not limited to the water outlet directions listed in this embodiment.

[0073] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8A first inlet 123 is provided in the water inlet channel 121. The first inlet 123 is located upstream of the water inlet end of the second water outlet channel 131 and the third water outlet channel 132. A second inlet 2111 and a third inlet 2112, which are not connected to each other, are provided at intervals along the sliding direction of the water outlet pipe 21. In the first position, the second inlet 2111 is offset from the first inlet 123, and both the second inlet 2111 and the third inlet 2112 are connected to the first water outlet channel 122. In the second position, the second inlet 2111 is connected to the first inlet 123, but the second inlet 2111 is not connected to the first water outlet channel 122.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, a partition is provided between the second inlet 2111 and the third inlet 2112 of the water outlet pipe 21, so that the section of the water outlet pipe 21 with the second inlet 2111 and the section with the third inlet 2112 are not connected to each other. When the water outlet pipe 21 slides to the first position, the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112 are both located in the first water outlet channel 122, and the lateral dimension of the first water outlet channel 122 is greater than the lateral dimension of the section of the water outlet pipe 21 with the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112, so that the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112 are connected through the first water outlet channel 122, that is, the water inlet channel 121, the first water outlet channel 122, and the water outlet pipe 21 are connected. At this time, the water flows through the water inlet channel 121, the first water outlet channel 122, and the water outlet pipe 21 to the first water outlet 2121, so that the first water outlet 2121 can spray water upward (in the first mode of water outlet).

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, when the water outlet pipe 21 slides to the second position, the second water inlet 2111 moves out of the first water outlet channel 122 and is opposite to and connected to the first water inlet 123. At this time, the second water inlet 2111 is not connected to the first water outlet channel 122, and due to the presence of the partition between the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112, the water inlet channel 121 is disconnected from the first water outlet channel 122. With the water outlet pipe 21 of the first switching component 2 in the second position, operating the second switching component 3 to switch between the third and fourth positions allows water to flow from either the second water outlet channel 131 or the third water outlet channel 132.

[0076] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 A first sealing element 216 is provided on the water outlet pipe 21, and the first sealing element 216 slides and seals against the inner wall of the water inlet channel 121. In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 21 is provided with first sealing elements 216 on both sides of the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112, such as... Figure 2As shown, when the water outlet pipe 21 is in the first position, there is a first seal 216 between the first water inlet 123 and the second water inlet 2111. There is also a first seal 216 on the side of the first water inlet 123 away from the second water inlet 2111. Both first seals 216 are in sealing contact with the water inlet channel 121, thus ensuring that water from the water inlet channel 121 cannot enter the first water inlet 123, keeping the water inlet channel 121 disconnected from the second water outlet channel 131 and the third water outlet channel 132. Figure 4 As shown, when the water outlet pipe 21 is in the second position, there is a first seal 216 between the second water inlet 2111 and the third water inlet 2112. The first seal 216 is in sealing contact with the water inlet channel 121, so that the water inlet channel 121 is sealed and separated from the first water outlet channel 122.

[0077] For example, the first sealing element 216 is a rubber sealing ring, and a sealing groove is provided on the water outlet pipe 21, and the rubber sealing ring is stuck in the sealing groove.

[0078] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The main structure 1 also includes a first main component 12 and a second main component 13. The first main component 12 is at least partially located within the main shell 11, and both the water inlet channel 121 and the first water outlet channel 122 are located within the first main component 12. The second main component 13 is located within the main shell 11 and connected to the first main component 12. Both the second water outlet channel 131 and the third water outlet channel 132 are located within the second main component 13, and the second switching component 3 is movably located within the second main component 13. The arrangement of the first main component 12 and the second main component 13 ensures that the first water outlet channel 122, the second water outlet channel 131, and the third water outlet channel 132 of the water outlet structure are independent of each other. The water inlet channel 121 can selectively connect to one of the first water outlet channel 122, the second water outlet channel 131, or the third water outlet channel 132, thereby realizing multiple water outlet modes of the water outlet structure.

[0079] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first main component 12 has a water inlet connector 126 at its water inlet end. The water inlet connector 126 is used to connect to a water inlet pipe, which can be a faucet pipe or a shower head pipe, etc. Furthermore, the water inlet connector 126 has a threaded structure, which allows it to be connected to the water inlet pipe by screwing on the thread.

[0080] See Figure 7 and Figure 8One of the water outlet pipe 21 and the second main body component 13 is provided with a guide protrusion 2116, and the other is provided with a guide groove 134. The guide protrusion 2116 and the guide groove 134 slide in a preset direction. This arrangement ensures that the water outlet pipe 21 always slides in the preset direction, guaranteeing that the first switching component 2 can smoothly switch between the first position and the second position. In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 21 is provided with a guide protrusion 2116, and the second main body component 13 is provided with a guide groove 134. In other embodiments, the guide groove 134 can also be provided on the water outlet pipe 21, and the guide protrusion 2116 can be provided on the second main body component 13.

[0081] See Figure 7 and Figure 9 The second main component 13 is provided with a first limiting part 135 and a second limiting part 136 spaced apart, and the water outlet pipe 21 is located between the first limiting part 135 and the second limiting part 136. The first limiting part 135 and the second limiting part 136 can further restrict the movement direction of the water outlet pipe 21 relative to the second main component 13, and ensure the movement accuracy of the second switching component 3 in the preset direction.

[0082] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The water outlet pipe 21 is provided with a locking hook 213, and the main structure 1 is provided with a movable groove 124. A guide structure 1242 and a first limiting groove 1241 communicating with the movable groove 124 are provided at the first end along a preset direction, and a second limiting groove 1243 communicating with the movable groove 124 is provided at the second end along the preset direction. When the water outlet pipe 21 switches from the first position to the second position, it can cause the locking hook 213 to slide and engage with the first limiting groove 1241. When the water outlet pipe 21 switches from the second position to the first position, it can cause the locking hook 213 to disengage from the first limiting groove 1241 under the guidance of the guide structure 1242 and slide and engage with the second limiting groove 1243. The engagement of the locking hook 213 with the first limiting groove 1241 enables the water outlet pipe 21 to be stably maintained in the second position. The guide structure 1242 allows the locking hook 213 to smoothly disengage from the first limiting groove 1241, thereby enabling the water outlet pipe 21 to smoothly switch from the second position to the first position. The engagement of the locking hook 213 with the second limiting groove 1243 enables the water outlet pipe 21 to be stably maintained in the first position, thereby ensuring stable water output from the first water outlet 2121.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10In the orientation of the main structure 1, the first main component 12 is provided with a movable groove 124. The movable groove 124 includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment arranged at intervals. The guide structure 1242 has an inclined guide surface, and when the locking hook 213 is engaged in the first limiting groove 1241, the top of the guide surface is located above the locking hook 213. When the water outlet pipe 21 is in the first position, the locking hook 213 is engaged in the second limiting groove 1243. When the water outlet pipe 21 is driven to slide to the left, the locking hook 213 slides to the left along the first groove segment of the movable groove 124 until it slides into the first limiting groove 1241. At this time, the water outlet pipe 21 is in the second position. When the water outlet pipe 21 is driven to slide to the left again, the locking hook 213 moves to the left and slides into contact with the guide surface. Under the guidance of the inclined guide surface, the locking hook 213 enters the second groove segment of the movable groove 124 and can slide along the second groove segment into the second limiting groove 1243. By repeating this cycle, the water outlet pipe 21 can be stably switched between the first and second positions.

[0084] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 The first switching component 2 also includes a first elastic member 22 extending along a preset direction and constrained between the water outlet pipe 21 and the first main body component 12 of the main structure 1. The water outlet pipe 21 can slide from a second position to a first position under the elastic force of the first elastic member 22. When the water outlet pipe 21 is driven to slide from the first position to the second position, the first elastic member 22 compresses and stores energy. When the water outlet pipe 21 is driven to slide again, causing the locking hook 213 to disengage from the first limiting groove 1241, the locking hook 213 releases its restriction on the water outlet pipe 21, and the first elastic member 22 releases its elastic potential energy, thereby driving the water outlet pipe 21 to move from the second position to the first position until the locking hook 213 hooks into the second limiting groove 1243. The first elastic member 22 enables the water outlet pipe 21 to automatically move to the first position, realizing the smooth switching of the first switching component 2 between the first position and the second position. Furthermore, when the locking hook 213 is engaged in the first limiting groove 1241, the first elastic element 22 has elastic potential energy, which causes the water outlet pipe 21 to tend to move toward the first position, ensuring that the locking hook 213 can be stably engaged in the first limiting groove 1241.

[0085] Optionally, see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11The water outlet pipe 21 is provided with a first mounting protrusion 2113, and a positioning post 2114 is provided on the first mounting protrusion 2113. The main structure 1 is provided with a second mounting protrusion 125, and a positioning groove is provided on the second mounting protrusion 125. One end of the first elastic member 22 is sleeved on the positioning post 2114, and the other end is inserted into the positioning groove. The positioning post 2114 and the positioning groove cooperate to restrict the extension and retraction direction of the first elastic member 22, so that the first elastic member 22 can stably drive the water outlet pipe 21 to move towards the first position. For example, the first elastic member 22 is a spring.

[0086] Optionally, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 A third mounting protrusion 2115 is provided on the water outlet pipe 21, and one end of the locking hook 213 is swayably connected to the third mounting protrusion 2115, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the locking hook 213 slides back and forth between the first and second groove segments of the movable groove 124, it will swing up and down to a certain extent, so that the locking hook 213 can switch between the position of hooking with the first limiting groove 1241 and the position of hooking with the second limiting groove 1243.

[0087] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The first switching component 2 also includes a first operating part 23 disposed at the second end of the water outlet pipe 21. The first operating part 23 is configured to drive the water outlet pipe 21 to move in a preset direction under the action of external force.

[0088] See Figure 2 and Figure 9 The first operating part 23 is an end cap located at the second end of the water outlet pipe 21. The end cap slides with the main body shell 11 and can block the opening at the end of the main body shell 11. Pressing the first operating part 23 can drive the water outlet pipe 21 to switch between the first position and the second position. Furthermore, the first operating part 23 is provided with a water inlet 231 directly opposite the first water outlet 2121, so that water can flow smoothly from the first water outlet 2121.

[0089] In other embodiments, the first operating part 23 may also be designed as a spherical structure, so that the first operating part 23 rotates with the main body shell 11, that is, the first operating part 23 can swing up and down relative to the main body shell 11. By pressing the first operating part 23 to swing up and down, displacement along a preset direction is generated, thereby driving the water outlet pipe 21 to slide and switch between the first position and the second position.

[0090] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The water outlet pipe 21 includes a detachably connected first pipe body 211 and second pipe body 212. A constant flow element 214 is provided between the first pipe body 211 and the second pipe body 212. A first water outlet 2121 is provided at the end of the second pipe body 212 away from the first pipe body 211, and a filter element 215 is provided at the first water outlet 2121. The constant flow element 214 ensures a constant flow rate in the water outlet pipe 21, thereby ensuring a relatively stable water volume and water height at the first water outlet 2121 and preventing water pressure from affecting the water height at the first water outlet 2121. The filter element 215 filters out some impurities in the water and ensures that the water output from the first water outlet 2121 is relatively concentrated.

[0091] For example, the constant flow element 214 is a constant flow plate, and the end of the second tube 212 is inserted into the first tube 211. The constant flow plate is fixed in the end of the second tube 212 that is inserted into the first tube 211. The insertion method of the first tube 211 and the second tube 212 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the constant flow element 214. The filter element 215 is, for example, a rectifier filter screen, which can prevent the water from the first outlet 2121 from spreading and avoid water spraying.

[0092] Furthermore, a second sealing element 217 is provided at one end of the second tube 212 that is inserted into the first tube 211. The second sealing element 217 makes sealing contact with the inner wall of the first tube 211, thereby sealing the first tube 211 and the second tube 212 to prevent water leakage. For example, the second sealing element 217 is a sealing ring.

[0093] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The main structure 1 includes a water outlet shell 14, which has a first water outlet chamber 141 communicating with a second water outlet channel 131. A first water outlet plate 143 is provided at the water outlet end of the first water outlet chamber 141, and multiple second water outlets 1431 are provided on the first water outlet plate 143. Optionally, the water flow output from the multiple second water outlets 1431 is a wide-range shower spray, providing uniform water distribution and a large coverage area. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple second water outlets 1431 are arrayed on the first water outlet plate 143. When water flows through the second water outlet channel 131, the multiple second water outlets 1431 can output wide-range shower water with a large water outlet area. At this time, the water outlet structure outputs water in the second mode. For example, refer to Figure 2 In terms of orientation, the water outlets of multiple second outlets 1431 are oriented downwards.

[0094] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9The water outlet housing 14 is provided with a second water outlet chamber 142 communicating with the third water outlet channel 132. A second water outlet plate 144 is provided at the water outlet end of the second water outlet chamber 142, and multiple third water outlets 1441 are provided on the second water outlet plate 144. Optionally, the water flow output by the multiple third water outlets 1441 is columnar water or shower water. In this embodiment, the multiple third water outlets 1441 are arranged in a ring array on the second water outlet plate 144, and the aperture of the third water outlets 1441 is small. When water flows through the third water outlet channel 132, the multiple third water outlets 1441 can output a fine water flow, saving water. At this time, the water outlet structure outputs water in the third mode.

[0095] For example, the second water outlet plate 144 is an aerator, which allows water and air to mix thoroughly, increasing the flushing force of the water flow and effectively reducing water consumption. (Refer to...) Figure 2 In the orientation of the middle, the water outlets of multiple third outlets 1441 are oriented downwards.

[0096] In some alternative implementations, the second water outlet plate 144 can be designed such that it has a first water outlet surface and a second water outlet surface arranged opposite to each other. The first water outlet surface is provided with a plurality of third water outlets 1441, and the second water outlet surface is provided with a plurality of fourth water outlets. The size of the fourth water outlets is different from the size of the third water outlets 1441. The second water outlet plate 144 can switch between a first state of water outlet from the first water outlet surface and a second state of water outlet from the second water outlet surface. By switching the water outlet surface of the second water outlet plate 144, the water outlet state can be switched, giving the second water outlet plate 144 two water outlet modes and further expanding the water outlet function of the water outlet structure.

[0097] For example, the second water outlet plate 144 is rotatably connected to the water outlet housing 14. It can be flipped at the water outlet end of the second water outlet cavity 142 so that the first water outlet surface faces outward or the second water outlet surface faces outward. The size of the fourth water outlet on the second water outlet plate 144 is smaller than the size of the third water outlet 1441. When the first water outlet surface faces outward, multiple third water outlets 1441 discharge water. When the second water outlet surface faces outward, multiple fourth water outlets discharge water.

[0098] Optionally, the water flow output from the multiple third water outlets 1441 is either jet water or shower water. The water flow output from the multiple fourth water outlets is either shower water or jet water. That is, one of the third water outlets 1441 and the fourth water outlet can output jet water, and the other can output shower water. By flipping the second water outlet plate 144, the water outlet structure can be switched to output jet water or shower water.

[0099] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second water outlet plate 144 is provided with a third operating part 1442. By moving the third operating part 1442, the second water outlet plate 144 can be flipped so that the second water outlet plate 144 can be switched to the first state or the second state.

[0100] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second switching component 3 includes a water distribution plate 31 and a second operating unit 32. The water distribution plate 31 is rotatably disposed on the main structure 1 and is located upstream of the water inlet end of the second water outlet channel 131 and the water inlet end of the third water outlet channel 132. The water distribution plate 31 is provided with a water distribution hole 311. The second operating unit 32 is connected to the water distribution plate 31 and is configured to drive the water distribution plate 31 to rotate under the action of an external force, so that the water distribution hole 311 communicates with the water inlet end of the second water outlet channel 131 or the water inlet end of the third water outlet channel 132. The water distribution plate 31 is located downstream of the first water inlet 123 of the water inlet channel 121. When the first water inlet 123 is open, the second water outlet channel 131 is circulated when the water distribution plate 31 rotates to connect with the water inlet end of the second water outlet channel 131; the third water outlet channel 132 is circulated when the water distribution plate 31 rotates to connect with the third water outlet channel 132. The water outlet structure can be switched between the second mode water outlet and the third mode water outlet by driving the water distribution plate 31 to rotate through the second operating unit 32.

[0101] Specifically, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second switching component 3 also includes a connecting shaft 33 and a second elastic member 34. The second main body component 13 is provided with a shaft hole and a mounting groove 133 coaxially arranged with the shaft hole. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 133 is provided with a first water passage hole 1331 communicating with the second water outlet channel 131 and a second water passage hole 1332 communicating with the third water outlet channel 132. The water distribution plate 31 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 133. One end of the connecting shaft 33 is connected to the second operating part 32, and the other end passes through the shaft hole and the water distribution plate 31. The connecting shaft 33 can move axially in the shaft hole. One end of the second elastic member 34 is connected to the connecting shaft 33, and the other end abuts against the first main body component 12. The water distribution plate 31 is provided with a first mating part 312, and the connecting shaft 33 is provided with a second mating part 331. When the second operating part 32 is pressed to move the connecting shaft 33 axially, the second mating part 331 and the first mating part 312 interact to drive the water distribution plate 31 to rotate in the mounting groove 133, so that the water distribution hole 311 on the water distribution plate 31 is directly connected to the first water passage hole 1331 or directly connected to the second water passage hole 1332.

[0102] Specifically, in this embodiment Figure 7 and Figure 8The first mating part 312 is provided with a first guide slope, and the second mating part 331 is provided with a second guide slope. When the second operating part 32 is pressed to move the connecting shaft 33 axially, the first guide slope and the second guide slope slide together, and the two push against each other, forcing the water distribution plate 31 to rotate within the mounting groove 133. When the second operating part 32 is pressed, the second elastic element 34 is compressed and stores energy. After the external force is removed, the second elastic element 34 releases its elastic potential energy, thereby driving the connecting shaft 33 to move axially in the opposite direction, so that the second operating part 32 can be pressed again, realizing the repeated switching of the second water outlet channel 131 and the third water outlet channel 132. For example, the second elastic element 34 is a spring.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water distribution plate 31 is provided with two water distribution holes 311, and the mounting groove 133 is provided with two first water passage holes 1331 that communicate with the second water outlet channel 131, and one second water passage hole 1332. Figure 7 In the indicated state, one of the water distribution holes 311 of the water distribution plate 31 is connected to the second water passage hole 1332, while the other water distribution hole 311 is blocked by the bottom wall of the mounting groove 133, and the third water outlet channel 132 is open. When the water distribution plate 31 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, the two water distribution holes 311 are aligned with the two first water passage holes 1331, and the second water passage hole 1332 is blocked by the water distribution plate 31, at which point the second water outlet channel 131 is open. The arrangement of the two first water passage holes 1331 and the two water distribution holes 311 ensures the water flow of the second water outlet channel 131, increasing the water output of the water outlet structure.

[0104] In other embodiments, the number of water distribution holes 311 (e.g., one), first water passage holes 1331 and second water passage holes 1332 can be designed according to actual needs, and are not limited to the numbers listed above.

[0105] This embodiment also provides a water tap, including a tap seat and a water outlet structure as described above, wherein the water outlet structure is disposed on the tap seat. The water inlet channel 121 of the water outlet structure is connected to the water outlet end of the tap seat, and a tap switch is provided on the tap seat, which can control the flow of water.

[0106] Furthermore, the faucet base is equipped with a pull-out water pipe, and the water outlet structure is connected to the pull-out water pipe. The position of the water outlet structure can be adjusted by pulling out the water pipe, making it more convenient to use.

[0107] In this embodiment, the faucet can switch between a first position and a second position by operating the first switching component 2, and between a third position and a fourth position by operating the second switching component 3. This allows the water outlet structure to output water in a first mode (mouthwash), a second mode (wide-width shower water), and a third mode (shower water or jet water). By flipping the second water outlet plate 144 by the third operating part 1442, the water outlet structure can switch between two different third modes. In other words, the faucet has at least four water outlet modes, which are diverse in function and can meet different user needs, thereby improving the user experience.
