Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a water outlet device with adjustable water power. The water outlet device comprises a fixed portion, a water outlet portion, and an adjusting member. The fixed portion comprises a water inlet passage and a first connection portion. The adjusting member is disposed in the water outlet portion and is configured to move relative to the water outlet portion. The adjusting member comprises a second connection portion and an adjusting portion, the adjusting portion corresponds to the water outlet hole. The first connection portion and the second connection portion cooperate to drive the adjusting member to move close to or away from the water outlet portion so as to adjust a power of water flowing out from the water outlet hole.

Claims (63)

1. A water outlet device with adjustable water power, comprising:

a fixed portion,

the adjusting member is disposed in the water outlet portion and is configured to move relative to the water outlet portion,

the adjusting member comprises a second connection portion and an adjusting portion,

the adjusting portion corresponds to the water outlet hole,

the first connection portion and the second connection portion cooperate to drive the adjusting member to move close to or away from the water outlet portion to enable the adjusting portion to move between a first position relative to the water outlet hole and a second position relative to the water outlet hole so as to adjust a power of water flowing out from the water outlet hole,

the adjusting portion comprises an adjusting column,

at least one step surface is disposed on an outer periphery of the adjusting column,

the at least one step surface divides the adjusting column into at least two step columns,

the water outlet portion is rotatably disposed on the fixed portion,

the first connection portion comprises a sheet body,

the sheet body comprises a plurality of connection surfaces each having a sequentially reduced height,

the second connection portion comprises a connection column, and

the water outlet portion rotates to drive the adjusting member to rotate synchronously so that the connection column sequentially abuts the plurality of connection surfaces to drive the adjusting member to move close to or away from the water outlet portion.

2. The water outlet device with adjustable water power according to claim 1 , wherein:

a wall of the water outlet hole comprises a step surface,
