The inlet is for water intake, and the outlet is for water discharge. A switching shaft drives at least part of the water distribution component to move along the axial direction of the switching shaft. The water distribution component moves relative to the main body and cooperates with multiple outlets to block different outlets, thus achieving the effect of different water flows from the same outlet. Because the water flow intensity, flow pattern, and shower experience vary significantly with different water flows, the water outlet device can switch between different water massage modes to suit the showering needs of different people or different parts of the body. For example, women, children, and the elderly need gentle water flow, while men need stronger water flow to meet diverse user massage needs.

[0003] However, the water droplets from this structure are still relatively small, and the temperature drop is quite significant, so the user experience needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water outlet component with different water types in the same hole, which produces larger water particles and lower temperature, thereby improving the user's showering experience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a water outlet assembly with different water outlets in the same hole, including: a fixed base and a switching assembly;

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a handheld shower head, including a shower head housing 1 and a water outlet assembly 2 with different water outlets in the same hole installed in the shower head housing 1; the end of the shower head housing 1 is provided with a water inlet plug 11 as the water inlet end of the handheld shower head.

[0037] The aforementioned water outlet assembly 2 with different water outlets in the same hole includes: a fixed base 21 and a switching assembly 22; wherein the fixed base 21 is fixedly connected to the shower head housing 1 by screws 23.

[0038] The fixed base 21 is connected to the water inlet of the handheld shower head and has a water passage hole 211. The switching component 22 has a first flow outlet 2211 and a second flow outlet 2212. The switching component 22 also includes an operating member 2241, which is used to drive the switching component 22 relative to the fixed base 21 under the action of external force, so that at least one of the first flow outlet 2211 and the second flow outlet 2212 is connected to the water passage hole 211. In this way, the flow direction of the water flowing out of the water passage hole 211 can be controlled, so that it flows into the first flow outlet 2211 or the second flow outlet 2212, or simultaneously into the first flow outlet 2211 and the second flow outlet 2212.

[0039] The switching component 22 has a water outlet connecting the first flow port 2211 and the second flow port 2212. In this embodiment, by connecting the first flow port 2211 and the second flow port 2212 to different positions on the water outlet, different water sprays can be generated from the same water outlet 2231. Specifically, the water outlet is connected to the first flow port 2211 along its axial end face, and the side of the water outlet is connected to the second flow port 2212. Thus, when water flows into the water outlet from the first flow port 2211, it enters the water outlet from a direction parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet, thus producing conventional shower water. When water flows into the water outlet from the second flow port 2212, the water collides within the water outlet, forming sheet-like granular water sprays. These sheet-like granular water sprays are larger than conventional granular water sprays, resulting in lower temperature drop, less scattering, and a better shower experience. In this embodiment, the water flows into the water outlet from both sides, resulting in more thorough collision and a better effect.

[0040] In this embodiment, to ensure that water does not leak from the gap between the fixing base 21 and the switching component 22, a leather cup sealing gasket 212 is provided on the outer periphery of the flow port on the side of the fixing base 21 facing the switching component 22. The leather cup sealing gasket 212 can then be attached to the switching component 22, thereby ensuring that there is no water leakage.

[0041] In this embodiment, the operating component 2241 is used to drive the switching component 22 to rotate relative to the fixed base 21 under the action of external force. The corresponding first flow port 2211 and second flow port 2212 are arranged along the rotation direction of the fixed base 21. In this way, during the rotation of the fixed base 21, the first flow port 2211 and the second flow port 2212 can change their positions relative to the flow hole, thereby realizing that water flows into the first flow port 2211 or the second flow port 2212, or simultaneously into the first flow port 2211 and the second flow port 2212.

[0042] As described above, the switching component 22 has three different positions during rotation. To indicate these positions and allow the user to clearly perceive whether the correct position has been reached, the fixed base 21 is provided with an elastic positioning pin 213 on the side facing the switching component 22, and the switching component 22 is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the elastic positioning pin 213 on the side facing the fixed base 21. There are three positioning grooves, corresponding to the three different positions. During the switching process, the elastic positioning pin 213 first moves out of the current positioning groove and accumulates elastic restoring force. When it moves to the next positioning groove, the elastic positioning pin 213 falls back into the positioning groove and impacts it under the action of the elastic restoring force, thereby generating an audible prompt, allowing the user to accurately perceive that the switching has been completed.

[0043] In this embodiment, the switching component 22 is structurally designed as follows: the switching component 22 includes a water distribution body 221, a water inlet body 222, and a water outlet cover 223 arranged sequentially along the water outlet direction; the water inlet body 222 is provided with a water outlet 2221, and the water outlet cover 223 is provided with a water outlet 2231 corresponding to the position of the water outlet 2221; the water outlet 2231 and the water outlet 2221 form the water outlet component, and the lower end face of the water outlet 2221 along the axial direction is spaced a certain distance from the water outlet 2231 to form a flow gap 2232; the water distribution body 221 includes a first flow channel connecting the first flow outlet 2211 and a second flow channel connecting the second flow outlet 2212; the end of the first flow channel is connected to the upper end face of the water outlet 2221 along the axial direction, and the end of the second flow channel is connected to the flow gap 2232. When water flows from the first overflow port 2211 through the first flow channel and enters the water outlet 2221 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet component, the water outlet 2231 will flow out conventional shower water; while when water flows from the second overflow port 2212 through the second flow channel and flows out from the overflow gap 2232, the water will collide in the water outlet 2231, causing the water outlet 2231 to flow out sheet-like particles of water.

[0044] In addition, the switching assembly 22 also includes a decorative cover 224, and the operating element 2241 is a lever disposed on the decorative cover 224. The lever can be used to rotate the entire switching assembly 22.

[0045] Furthermore, to ensure that the switching assembly 22 can be formed as a whole, the decorative cover 224 is provided with multiple snap fasteners 2242 spaced apart along the circumference. The water distribution body 221 is provided with a locking slot 2213 corresponding to the position of the snap fastener 2242. The water outlet cover 223 and the water inlet body 222 are provided with clearance openings corresponding to the positions of the snap fasteners 2242. After the snap fasteners 2242 pass through the clearance openings and engage with the locking slots 2213, the entire switching assembly 22 can be assembled into a whole.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] refer to Figures 7-8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, water flows in from both sides of the water outlet component, such as... Figure 5 As shown, in Embodiment 1, the flow gap 2232 exists on both sides of the outlet 2231, allowing water to flow into the outlet 2231 from both sides of the flow gap 2232. However, in this embodiment, the flow gap 2232 exists only on one side of the outlet 2231. This causes the water flowing from the flow gap 2232 into the outlet 2231 to impact the side of the outlet 2231, resulting in the discharge of sheet-like particles from the outlet 2231.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All technically equivalent modifications made based on the content of the present utility model specification shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
