Abstract

A water transferring device is provided and comprises a body having a water passage chamber, a first water inlet joint having a first water inlet passage and connected to the body, and a water outlet joint having an outer water passage and an inner water passage. The first water inlet joint and the water outlet joint enable the inner water passage to be in communication with the first water inlet passage. The water passage chamber is in communication with the outer water passage. At least one of the first water inlet joint or the water outlet joint comprises a connection structure connected to the body and enabling the at least one of the first water inlet joint or the water outlet joint to be at least rotated for a specific angle around an axis of the at least one of the first water inlet joint or the water outlet joint.
