[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a magnetic multi-channel switcher, which, compared with the prior art, has at least the following technical effects: 1. The first and second magnetic components attract each other, pushing the multi-outlet housing and the switching turntable closer together, ensuring that the mating surfaces of the multi-outlet housing and the switching turntable are firmly attached together. Even when the switching turntable wears down due to long-term rotation, it can still tightly adhere to the plane of the multi-outlet housing, achieving a long-term sealing effect and significantly extending the service life of the multi-channel switcher. 2. The first and second magnetic components are magnets or metals that can be attracted by magnets. They are drawn closer together by magnetic force, which in turn drives the multi-outlet housing and the inlet housing closer together, ensuring a sealing effect between them. 3. Multiple first and second magnetic components are provided, ensuring sufficient attraction when they rotate relative to each other, so that the multi-outlet housing and the inlet housing remain continuously attached together, ensuring a sealing effect. 4. A multi-outlet housing and an outlet switching turntable are spaced apart between the first and second magnetic suction components, ensuring that the attraction between them acts on the multi-outlet housing and the outlet switching turntable to guarantee a sealing effect. 5. The first magnetic suction component does not protrude from the first mounting groove, and the second magnetic suction component does not protrude from the second mounting groove.

At this time, the detection switch transmits a signal to the main board program, stopping the motor. After a set time, the motor continues to rotate until the next trigger on the synchronous turntable touches the position detection switch. This process repeats, achieving the function of opening multiple outlet channels in turn. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A magnetic multi-channel switcher includes a multi-outlet housing 1 and an inlet housing 2, which are connected together. An outlet switching turntable 3 is rotatably mounted within the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2. The outlet switching turntable 3 is connected to a motor 4 that drives its rotation. A first magnetic element 5 is provided on the multi-outlet housing 1, and a second magnetic element 6 is provided in the outlet switching turntable 3. The first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 attract each other, driving the end face of the outlet switching turntable 3 to abut against the inner end of the multi-outlet housing. The mutual attraction of the first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 pushes the multi-outlet housing 1 and the switching turntable closer together, ensuring that the mating surfaces of the multi-outlet housing 1 and the switching turntable are firmly attached. Even when the switching turntable wears down due to long-term rotation, it can still tightly adhere to the plane of the multi-outlet housing 1, achieving a long-term sealing effect and significantly extending the service life of the multi-channel switcher.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 Preferably, the first magnetic attractor 5 is a magnet, and the second magnetic attractor 6 is a magnet; or, the first magnetic attractor 5 is a magnet, and the second magnetic attractor 6 is a metal that can be attracted by a magnet; or, the second magnetic attractor 6 is a magnet, and the first magnetic attractor 5 is a metal that can be attracted by a magnet. The first magnetic attractor 5 and the second magnetic attractor 6 are magnets or metals that can be attracted by a magnet. They are brought closer together by magnetic force, thereby causing the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2 to come closer together, ensuring a sealing effect between them. The metal can be iron, cobalt, or nickel.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 Preferably, the multi-outlet housing 1 is provided with multiple first magnetic suction elements 5 at positions avoiding the outlets, and the outlet switching turntable 3 is provided with multiple second magnetic suction elements 6 at positions avoiding the water outlet holes. The presence of multiple first magnetic suction elements 5 and multiple second magnetic suction elements 6 ensures sufficient attraction when they rotate relative to each other, allowing the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2 to remain in contact and maintain a sealing effect.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 Preferably, the multi-outlet housing 1 has multiple first mounting slots, in which the first magnetic element 5 is installed; the outlet switching turntable 3 has multiple second mounting slots, in which the second magnetic element 6 is installed. The first mounting slot is located on the side of the multi-outlet housing 1 facing away from the outlet switching turntable 3, and the second mounting slot is located on the side of the outlet switching turntable 3 facing or facing away from the multi-outlet housing 1; or, the second mounting slot is located on the side of the outlet switching turntable 3 facing away from the multi-outlet housing 1, and the first mounting slot is located on the side of the multi-outlet housing 1 facing or facing away from the outlet switching turntable 3. The first magnetic element 5 and the second magnetic element 6 are spaced apart by the multi-outlet housing 1 and the outlet switching turntable 3, so that the attraction between them can act on the multi-outlet housing 1 and the outlet switching turntable 3 to ensure a sealing effect.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 Preferably, when the first mounting groove is opposite to the outlet switching turntable 3, the first magnetic member 5 does not protrude from the first mounting groove; when the second mounting groove is opposite to the multi-outlet housing 1, the second magnetic member 6 does not protrude from the second mounting groove. Ensuring that the first magnetic member 5 does not protrude from the first mounting groove or the second magnetic member 6 does not protrude from the second mounting groove helps avoid interference between the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 6 and the rotation of the outlet switching turntable 3, thus ensuring a sealing effect when the multi-outlet housing 1 and the outlet switching turntable 3 rotate relative to each other.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, a first sealing ring 7 is provided at the connection between the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2, and a locking screw is provided between the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2. The first sealing ring 7 at the connection between the multi-outlet housing 1 and the inlet housing 2 provides a sealing effect. Since the two do not rotate relative to each other, there is no need to consider the problem of rotational wear.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5Preferably, a synchronous turntable 8 is provided between the outlet switching turntable 3 and the output shaft of the motor 4. The synchronous turntable 8 is located outside the inlet housing 2 and has a trigger part. A detection switch 9 is provided on the rotation path of the trigger part, and the trigger part can trigger the detection switch 9. The outlet switching turntable 3 has water outlet holes, which can communicate with multiple outlets on the multi-outlet housing 1 when rotating. The synchronous turntable 8 is also connected between the outlet switching turntable 3 and the motor 4. When the trigger part on the synchronous turntable 8 touches the position detection switch 9, the water outlet hole on the outlet switching turntable 3 is aligned with one of the outlets on the multi-outlet housing 1. At this time, the detection switch 9 transmits a signal to the main board program, causing the motor 4 to stop rotating. After a set time of operation, the motor 4 continues to rotate until the next trigger part on the synchronous turntable 8 touches the position detection switch 9. This process is repeated to realize the function of opening multiple outlet channels in turn.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the end face of the outlet switching turntable 3 facing away from the multi-outlet housing 1 has a connecting portion, and the end of the synchronous turntable 8 facing the outlet switching turntable 3 has a plug-in portion, which is inserted into the connecting portion. The end of the synchronous turntable 8 facing away from the outlet switching turntable 3 has a D-shaped hole, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is D-shaped and inserted into the D-shaped hole. The trigger portion is located on the circumferential surface of the synchronous turntable 8. This facilitates the synchronous driving of the outlet switching turntable 3 and the synchronous turntable 8 by the motor 4.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the inlet housing 2 has a clearance hole at a position opposite to the connecting part, and a second sealing ring 10 is provided in the clearance hole between the hole wall and the outer wall of the connecting part to prevent liquid from overflowing from the clearance hole.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] The inlet housing 2 of the switcher has an inlet structure for connecting the fluid source pipe; the output shaft of the motor 4 is D-shaped and connected to the synchronous turntable 8, which is connected to the outlet switching turntable 3. When the motor 4 rotates, it simultaneously drives the synchronous turntable 8 and the outlet switching turntable 3 to rotate together; the detection switch 9 can be a tactile switch, an infrared sensor switch, or a Hall switch, used to detect and control the opening of a certain channel; the first sealing ring 7 is used for sealing between the inlet housing 2 and the multi-outlet housing 1; the second sealing ring 10 is used for sealing between the inlet housing 2 and the outlet switching turntable 3; the multi-outlet housing 1 is equipped with a magnet, and the channel switching turntable has a single water outlet hole, which is also equipped with a magnet. The attraction of the magnets brings the two planes together for sealing; when the single hole on the channel switching turntable is aligned with the outlet set on the multi-outlet housing 1, the trigger part on the synchronous turntable 8 triggers the signal of the detection switch 9, and the motor 4 stops rotating.
