The blocking part 323 comprises a positioning cylinder 3231 and a rubber plug 3232 which are transversely provided. The rubber plug 3232 is sleeved in the positioning cylinder 3231. The outer end surface 32321 of the rubber plug 3232 protrudes from the positioning cylinder 3231. The valve core 32 is rotatably provided in the inner cavity of the water diversion valve seat 311. A water containing chamber 100 is formed by the two sealing sections 322 and the inner cavity of the water diversion valve seat 311. The water containing chamber 100 serves as a waterway pooling area of the water inlet channel(x), the first water outlet channel(z) and the second water outlet channel(y). The rubber plug 3232 is completely attached to the inner wall of the water diversion valve seat 311, which is used for blocking the first water outlet end(b) and the second water outlet end(c). The straight rod section 321 extends outward from the first mounting hole 71.

(14) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the switching handle 4 is provided at the outer end of the first extending section 123, is rotatably inserted into the annular groove 73 provided between the positioning block 7 and the first extending section 123, and is fixedly connected with the straight rod section 321 of the valve core 32. The rubber plug 3232 of the valve core 31 is driven to rotate circumferentially in the water containing chamber 100 of the water diversion valve seat 311 by rotating the switching handle 4 for blocking the first water outlet end b or the second water outlet c, or attached to the inner wall of the water containing chamber 100, so that the water inlet channel(x) is communicated with the waterway of the first water outlet channel(z), or the water inlet channel(x) is communicated with the waterway of the second water outlet channel(y), or the water inlet channel(x) is communicated with the waterway of the first water outlet channel(z) and the second water outlet channel(y) simultaneously. More preferably, in order to better position the rotation angle of the switching handle 4, a positioning sound mechanism is provided between the positioning block 7 and the switching handle 4. The positioning sound mechanism comprises a positioning pin 8, a spring 9 and positioning blind holes 72. The switching handle 4 forms an accommodating cavity 42 for accommodating the spring 9 and the positioning pin 8. The outer end face of the positioning block 7 is provided with a plurality of positioning blind holes 72 along the circumferential direction. The three positioning blind holes 72 are opposite to the inner wall of the water containing chamber 100, the first water outlet end(b) and the second water outlet end(c), respectively. When the switching handle 4 is rotated, the positioning pin 8 collides with the inner wall of the positioning blind hole 72 under the action of the restoring force of the spring 9, thereby forming a prompt sound that the switching handle 4 is switched in place.

(15) As shown in FIG. 4, a connecting base 20 is also fixedly provided in the second mounting hole 120 of the handle part 12. The connecting base 20 comprises a sleeve-shaped body. A positioning plate 200 extending outwards is formed on the top of the body. A plurality of slots 201 are provided on the outer side wall of the body or the bottom end face of the positioning plate 200 with respect to the plug board 121. A plurality of slots 201 fixing holes 202 are provided on the positioning plate 200 with respect to the positioning post. At the same time, an upwardly extending fixing post 203 is formed in the middle of the top end face of the positioning plate 200. When the connecting base 20 is built into the second mounting hole 120, the plug board 121 in the second mounting hole 120 is correspondingly inserted into each slot 201. At the same time, the first fastener 40 sequentially passes through the corresponding fixing hole 202 and the screw hole 1221 on the screw post 122 to fix the connecting base 20 in the second extension section 124. The shower holder 5 is provided with a fixing through hole 51. A second fastener 43 passes through the fixing through hole 51 and is screwed and locked to the fixing post 203, thereby fixing the shower holder 5 and the connecting base 20. More preferably, the body of the connecting base 20 forms a small-diameter end 204 at the end far away from the positioning plate 200. The small-diameter end 204 is used for being sleeved in the inner cavity of the water diversion valve seat 311, thereby further increasing the axial stability of the water diversion valve seat 311, and at the same time, further preventing the water flowing through the water containing chamber 100 from overflowing towards the shower holder 5.

(16) More preferably, the shower holder 5 is rotatably provided on the fixing post 203, so that the hand-held shower 1000 placed on the shower holder 5 can generate different shower angles to meet the shower needs of users. A positioning sound mechanism is additionally provided between the shower holder 5 and the positioning plate 200. The positioning sound mechanism has the structure basically the same as that of the positioning sound mechanism formed by the switching handle 4, comprising a positioning pin 52, a spring 53 and a positioning blind hole 54. The shower holder 5 forms an accommodating cavity 55 for accommodating the spring 53 and the positioning pin 52. The outer end face of the positioning block 200 is provided with a plurality of positioning blind holes 54 along the circumferential direction. When the shower holder 5 is rotated, the positioning pin 52 collides with the inner wall of the positioning blind hole 54 under the action of the restoring force of the spring 52, thereby forming a prompt sound that the shower holder 5 is switched in place.

(17) In the shower head with a shower holder manufactured by the above structure, the switching handle 4 and the shower holder 5 are respectively provided at the two ends of the radial extension section of the handle part 12, so that the inner cavity of the handle part 12 can provide a larger water containing space for the water diversion component 3, especially for the water diversion valve seat 31, and increase the overflow of the water inlet channel(x), the first water outlet channel(z) and the second water outlet channel(y). At the same time, a switching handle 4 with a larger contact area can also be provided, which is convenient for users to switch waterways. When the hand-held shower 1000 is inserted into the shower holder 5, the water outlet areas of the hand-held shower and the shower holder are adjacent. The switching handle 4 is switched to the water inlet channel(x) and is simultaneously communicated with the waterways of the first water outlet channel(z) and the second water outlet channel(y). The hand-held shower 1000 and the water outlet component 2 of the shower head simultaneously discharge water, which can overlap a larger water outlet area and improve the shower experience.

(18) The above description merely relates to embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the design of the present disclosure. Any equivalent changes made according to key points of the design of the present disclosure will fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
