[0060] Using this structure, taking an overhead shower as an example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 13 As shown, the push-button drain valve core 5 is in the closed state, meaning the water path between the inlet and outlet is cut off. The outlet 521, drain hole 523, and top spray drain pipe 262 are in a continuous drainage state. When in use, pressing the button 62 rotates the button 6 counterclockwise, causing the valve core 54 to move upwards. The water guide chamber 541 connects the inlet and outlet, and the push-button drain valve core 5 is activated. Water in the mixing water channel 23 enters through the push-button drain valve core 5. Water enters the overhead shower head through the water holes and outlet holes, and the overhead shower outlet interface 261. After use, lift the push plate 62, turn the button 6 clockwise, and the moving valve core 54 moves downward. The water guide chamber 541 connects the outlet hole and the drain hole, and the push-button switch drain valve core 5 closes. The remaining water in the overhead shower head and the water guide pipe flows through the overhead shower outlet interface 261, the outlet hole and drain hole of the push-button switch drain valve core 5, and finally flows out through the overhead shower drain pipe, preventing water from remaining in the overhead shower head and the water guide pipe and causing bacteria to grow.

This structure prevents the fixed valve core 53 and the core shell 52 from rotating relative to each other.

[0062] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper end of the moving valve core 54 is provided with a plug groove 542;

[0063] The lower surface of the transmission component 55 is provided with a pin 552, which is engaged with the insertion groove 542.

[0064] As a further improvement of this utility model: the hinge seat 56 is provided with a chordal guide block 564 that intersects with the circular body part 561 and the flange 563.

[0065] The transmission component 55 is circular and has a guide plane 553, which slides in conjunction with the chord guide block 564.

[0066] As a further improvement of this utility model: the main body 2 of the dragon gate is also provided with a waterfall valve core cavity 28, and the bottom plate of the box body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 17;

[0067] It also includes a rotary valve core 7, a handle 8, and a waterfall outlet head 9.

[0068] The rotary switch valve core 7 is located inside the waterfall valve core cavity 28. The connecting part of the handle 8 passes through the front wall plate of the box 1 and is connected to the valve stem of the rotary switch valve core 7. The waterfall outlet head 9 is fitted into the mounting hole 17 and is connected to the outlet pipe of the waterfall valve core cavity 28.

[0069] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
