An annular groove 230 is provided on the outer side wall of the outer shell 200 near both end faces. A sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove 230. When the outer shell 200 is completely located in the mounting position 101, the two sealing rings can play a sealing role.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 The switching assembly 300 includes a mounting base 310 disposed on the shower head body 100 and located within the outer casing 200; a fixing base 320 disposed inside the mounting base 310 and used to restrict the outer casing 200 onto the mounting base 310; a switching base 330 disposed between the outer casing 200 and the fixing base 320 and slidably connected to the mounting assembly; and a spring 340 disposed between the outer casing 200 and the mounting base 310. When the outer casing 200 is fully located within the mounting position 101, the spring 340 stores elastic potential. After switching, the spring 340 pushes the outer casing 200 out of the mounting position 101, so that the receiving groove 210 is located outside the mounting groove 240, facilitating the insertion of the aromatherapy tablet. The structure of the switching base 330 and the switching principle are similar to a press-type pen.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 The outer casing 200 of this utility model is installed in the following manner: the outer casing 200 is connected to the fixing seat 320 by bolts, and a pad 350 is provided inside the fixing seat 320. The bolts pass through the pad 350 and the fixing seat 320 and are then threadedly connected to the outer casing 200.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 , 5 6. The outer wall of the switching seat 330 is provided with a first step 331 and a second step 332. The number of first steps 331 and second steps 332 is the same and they are spaced apart. The interior of the mounting seat 310 is provided with a first groove 311 and a second groove 312 that respectively cooperate with the first steps 331 and the second steps 332. Specifically, the first step 331 slides in the first groove 311, and the second step 332 slides in the second groove 312. A number of first steps 331 and second steps 332 are spaced apart and arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the switching seat 330.

[0044] Please see Figure 3 , 56. Below the switching seat 330, a first inclined surface 333 is provided for pushing the fixed seat 320 to rotate within the mounting seat 310.

A first guide surface 313 and a second guide surface 314 are provided inside the mounting seat 310. Under the action of the spring 340, the third step 321 slides on the first guide surface 313 or the second guide surface 314. Both the first guide surface 313 and the second guide surface 314 are inclined surfaces, and a first guide surface 313 and a second guide surface 314 are provided side by side between adjacent first slide grooves 311. The second slide groove 312 is provided at the end of the first guide surface 313 away from the first slide groove 311. When the third step 321 is located in the first slide groove 311, due to the action of the spring 340, part of the outer shell 200 is pushed out of the mounting position 101, and the receiving groove 210 is located outside the mounting position 101, making it easy to put in the aromatherapy tablet. After placement, press the outer shell 200, the switching seat 330 is pressured and slides in the mounting seat 310, the first inclined surface 333 abuts against the second inclined surface 322 and applies pressure to the second inclined surface 322, and pushes the third step 321 out of the first slide groove 311. The first guide part is inclined, and under the action of the spring 340, the third step 321 is pushed out of the first slide groove 311. The third step 321 slides or moves along the first guide surface 311, while the third step 321 does not enter the second slide groove 312, so that the outer shell 200 is completely within the mounting position 101. When a new aromatherapy tablet needs to be inserted, the outer shell 200 is pressed again, and the first inclined surface 333 applies pressure to the second inclined surface 322, causing the third step 321 to rotate from the first guide surface 313 to the second guide surface 314. Under the action of the spring 340, the third step 321 enters the next first slide groove 311, so that part of the outer shell 200 is pushed out of the mounting position 101 again. In this embodiment, there are four first steps 331 and four second steps 332, and four corresponding first slide grooves 311 and four corresponding third steps 321.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 , 4 The outer casing 200 is further provided with a first limiting step 220 to prevent rotation during switching. The switching seat 330 is provided with a first limiting groove 334 that mates with the first limiting step 220.
