Referring to fig. 1, the sliding plate 30 is mounted on the water inlet base 10 and can slide in three sliding positions relative to the water inlet base 10, and in this embodiment, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 30 is a second direction perpendicular to the first direction of the arrangement of the water through holes 611. Referring to fig. 5, three abutting portions are provided at positions corresponding to the water through holes 611 on the side surface of the sliding plate 30 facing the water diversion top plate 61, each abutting portion is provided with a first abutting surface 32 and a second abutting surface 31, the first abutting surface 32 is configured to be suitable for abutting against the corresponding blocking assembly 50 to be kept at a first position, and the second abutting surface 31 is configured to be suitable for abutting against the corresponding blocking assembly 50 to be kept at a second position. Specifically, referring to fig. 5, taking the direction shown in fig. 5 as an example, the upper side of the main body portion of the sliding plate 30 has a base plane, the base plane is consistent with the plane where the second abutting surface 31 is located, and a plurality of recessed structures are recessed from the sliding plate 30 based on the base plane, and the plane where the bottom wall of each recessed structure is located is consistent with the plane where the first abutting surface 32 is located, so that when the plugging member 50 abuts against different plane positions on different sliding plates 30, the height position of the plugging member 50 relative to the base plane is different, and under the action of the elastic member 55, the plugging member 50 can be maintained at the corresponding position.

Furthermore, a transition surface 33 is provided between the first abutment surface 32 and the second abutment surface 31, the transition surface 33 being configured to allow the occluding member 50 to smoothly transition between the first abutment surface 32 and the second abutment surface 31. By sliding the sliding plate 30, the blocking member 50 can be pushed by the sliding plate 30 to move reciprocally to the first position and the second position when the sliding plate 30 switches its sliding position.

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, the sliding plate 30 is provided with three regions, A, B, C shown in the figure, arranged along the sliding direction thereof, and three regions, X, Y, Z shown in the figure, arranged perpendicular to the sliding direction thereof, wherein X, Y, Z indicates the abutting portions of the three blocking assemblies 50 corresponding to each other, and each blocking assembly 50 abuts against the sliding plate 30 only in the region corresponding to X, Y, Z; A. b, C indicate the positions at which the three blocking members 50 abut when the slide plate 30 is in three slide positions, and the three blocking members 50 abut in the area indicated by A, B, C when the slide plate 30 is in one slide position. For example, when the sliding plate 30 is at the first sliding position, three plugging members 50 are abutted against the region a, and in the position shown in fig. 5, the plugging member 50 corresponding to the region X is abutted against the second abutting surface 31 at this time, so that the plugging member 50 is at the second position, the corresponding water through hole 611 is filled with water, and the plugging members 50 corresponding to the regions Y and Z are abutted against the first abutting surface 32 at this time, so that the two plugging members 50 are at the first position, and the corresponding water through holes 611 are plugged.

In addition, it should be noted that the blocking member 50 is further configured to have at least one blocking member 50 switched from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position when the sliding plate 30 is switched between two adjacent sliding positions, that is, when the sliding plate 30 is switched from one sliding position to another sliding position, at least one blocking member 50 is changed in position, so that the blocking state of the corresponding water through hole 611 is changed, that is, the water outlet state of the water outlet channel corresponding to the water through hole 611 is changed, and the water outlet function of the water outlet device is changed accordingly.

It should be understood that the above is only one embodiment of the sliding plate 30 provided by the present invention, in other embodiments, the abutting portion on the sliding plate 30 may be provided in other manners, or more sliding positions may be provided, and the combination between the first abutting surface 32 and the second abutting surface 31 may also be provided in other manners, so that the position of the blocking component 50 may also be changed in other combinations, and thus the water outlet function of the water outlet device may also be provided in more combinations. For example, two blocking assemblies 50 may be provided to simultaneously open the corresponding water through holes 611, so that the corresponding two water outlet channels can simultaneously discharge water, and the like.

In addition, two symmetrical hooking grooves 34 are formed on the sliding plate 30, the hooking grooves 34 can cooperate with the hooking pin 211 on the sliding sleeve 21 to form a transmission connection therebetween, specifically, the hooking pin 211 on the sliding sleeve 21 is slidably engaged in the hooking grooves 34, and the sliding plate 30 can be moved back and forth along the sliding direction thereof by pushing against one side of the hooking grooves 34 or pulling the other side of the hooking grooves 34.

During assembly, firstly, the water diversion top plate 61, the water diversion bottom plate 62, the water outlet panel 63 and the water outlet cover 64 are assembled into a whole, then the elastic piece 55 in the plugging component 50 is assembled into the plugging counter bore 614, then the plugging rod 51 sleeved with the sealing ring is assembled into the water passing hole 611, then the upper cover 65 is installed and fixed on the water diversion top plate 61, then the sliding sleeve 21 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 11 and is inserted into the tubular handheld part of the water inlet seat 10 together, then the push button body 22 is installed on the sliding sleeve 21, then the sliding plate 30 and the sliding sleeve 21 are in transmission connection, then the assembled water outlet component 60 is installed into the water inlet seat 10, the water path between the upper cover 65 and the water inlet pipe 11 is communicated, and finally the water outlet component 60 is fixed on the water inlet seat 10 through the locking component 40.

When the water outlet device is used, a user holds the handle part of the water outlet device and pushes the push button body 22 to drive the sliding plate 30 to switch between the sliding positions, so that the water outlet device can be switched between different water outlet functions.

According to the waterway switching structure and the water outlet device provided by the invention, the push button component is arranged to drive the sliding plate 30 to slide relative to the water outlet body, the blocking component 50 elastically abutted against the sliding plate 30 is arranged, and the blocking component 50 can move in a reciprocating manner between the first position and the second position for opening or closing the water through holes 611 under the pushing action of the sliding plate 30, so that the waterway switching structure can control the water outlet or water closing of the water through holes 611 only by driving the sliding plate 30 to move in the sliding direction through the push button component, the whole structure is simple, and the control mode is simple and convenient.
