It is worth noting that since the clamping surface 1262 extends along the first direction, the cooperation relation between the elastic buckles 311 and the clamping surface 1262 can on the one hand prevent the push button 3 from being separated from the water outlet body 1, and also ensure on the other hand that the push button 3 can move reliably along the first direction and drive the movable shaft 2 to move reliably to realize the connection and disconnection of the water path.
  • the push plate 32 is located out of the water outlet body 1 and is driven by an external force. As shown in FIG. 2 , the push plate 32 and the chute 1115 are matched in shape, the length of the push plate 32 is smaller than the length of the chute 1115, the push plate 32 is slidably arranged in the chute 1115, and the surface thereof for user's operation is provided with a toggle block 321 and an anti-skid grain 322.
  • the push button 3 By arranging the push button 3, the user can operate the movable shaft 2 conveniently, and the push button 3 is simple in structure and can bring good operating experience to the user.
  • Assembly of the water outlet device is as follows:
  • the second step surface 123 and the first abutting surface 124 of the fixed seat 12 are respectively sleeved with the seal ring and the first V-shaped seal ring 4, the annular seal ring is sleeved on the corresponding annular groove on the outer wall of the fixed seat 12, and the fixed seat 12 is inserted into the cavity 1110 when the second step surface 123 and the first abutting surface 124 face the connecting wall 1112 in the cavity 1110.
  • the rotation stopping protrusion 127 on the fixed seat 12 is in insertion connection with the rotation stopping groove 1114 in the inner wall of the cavity 1110.
  • the seal ring is hermetically abutted between the second step surface 123 and the first step surface 1112a, and the first V-shaped seal ring 4 is hermetically abutted between the end surface of the connecting wall 1112 and the first abutting surface 124.
  • the movable shaft 2 is inserted into the through hole 121, and in the insertion process, it is ensured that the positioning protrusion on the movable shaft 2 is matched with and in insertion connection with the positioning groove in the hole wall of the through hole 121.
  • the movable shaft 2 is mounted in place when the movable shaft 2 is being inserted to a state that the slot 22 in the outer wall of the movable shaft 2 is aligned with the movable hole I 1113 and the movable hole II 12.
  • the second V-shaped seal ring 5 is sleeved onto the movable shaft 2 till it abuts against the fixed seat 12.
  • the retainer ring 14 is sleeved onto the movable shaft 2 till it abuts against the second V-shaped seal ring 5, and the circumferential position of the retainer ring 14 is regulated, so that the first water passing holes 141 therein can be aligned with the second water passing holes 21 in the first direction.
  • the annular seal ring is sleeved onto the movable shaft 2 till it abuts against the retainer ring 14.
  • the water inflow member 13 is inserted into the cavity 1110 and is threadedly connected to the handle portion 111 in place, and the water inflow member 13 abuts against the retainer ring 14 and is in seal fit with the annular seal ring.
  • the two elastic buckles 311 on the connecting portion 31 of the push button 3 are respectively inserted into the two guide slots 1261, the push button 3 is pressed downwards and the position of the push button 3 along the first direction is regulated till the two elastic buckles 311 are respectively clamped with the two clamping surfaces 1262, and the insertion protrusion 3121 is inserted into and connected with the slot 22 in the outer wall of the movable shaft 2.
  • the water outflow surface cover 15 is threadedly connected to the water discharging portion 112. Finally, the part of the water inflow member 13 exposed out of the cavity 1110 is fixedly connected to an external water inflow hose to complete the assembly of the water outlet device.
  • a using principle of the water outlet device is as follows: when the water outlet device needs to discharge water, the toggle button is toggled to drive the movable shaft 2 to move towards the side of the partition wall 1111 in the cavity 1110 to the extreme positions of the movable hole I 1113 and the movable hole II 126, and at the time, the second water passing hole 21 is aligned with the first water passing hole 141, the water flow flowing into the mounting channel 10c from the water inflow path 10a will reach the second water passing hole 21 via the water passing channel 20, and finally enters the first water outflow channel 120 and the second water outflow channel 1121 from the first water passing hole 141 and flows out from the water outflow path 10b; when it needs to suspend the water discharge from the water outlet device, the toggle button is pulled to drive the movable shaft 2 to move towards the side of the opened end in the cavity 1110 to the other extreme positions of the movable hole I 1113 and the movable hole II 126, and at the time, the second water passing hole 21 is staggered
  • the movable shaft 2 moves along the first direction and connects or disconnects the communication between the second water passing hole 21 and the first water passing hole 141, the water passing area of the second water passing hole 21 changes continuously, and flow rate regulation can be realized.
  • the water inflow path 10a and the water outflow path 10b are disconnected, since the water storage space and the end of the mounting channel 10c away from the water storage space both are filled with water, two ends of the movable shaft 2 bear water pressure, and the water pressure on the end of the movable shaft 2 at the side of the water storage space can withstand the water inflow pressure at the other end thereof.
  • the movable shaft 2 can be driven to move by applying little force, so that the water outlet device is labor-saving to operate, and the degree of satisfaction of the user is high.
