(19) The operation principle of the present embodiment will be described as below.

(20) First of all, a quantity of water is added into the water storage chamber 2; then, the water in the water storage chamber 2 is drawn by the pump 5 into the interior of the pump through the water inlet of pump, and is sprayed out sequently through the water outlet and the water outlet hole 61, such that the fountain is formed when the water column reaches a position above the decorative cover 7, and at this time, the light emitted from the first light source 8 is collected into the water column in the water outlet hole 61 through the spherical surface 64 of the light-collecting hood 62, and is ejected out of the decorative cover 7 together with the water column; and finally, the water fallen back on the upper wall of the decorative cover 7 returns to the water storage chamber 2 through the hollowed-out holes without sprayed water.

(21) Regarding embodiment 2, referring to FIG. 6, the differences between embodiments 1 and 2 lie in the following aspects. Four water outlet holes 61 are arranged in the light hood 6. The water-passing bracket 4 comprises a main body 42, a shunt disc 43 and nozzles 44, which are sequentially interconnected from below to above. The nozzle 44 is arranged to communicate with the water outlet hole 61, and the number of the nozzles 44 corresponds to the number of the water outlet holes 61. The nozzles 44 are inclined with respect to the central axis of the inner cavity of the light body 1, and the extension lines of the upper ends of the nozzles 44 converge at the central axis of the light hood 6. The light hood 6 is provided with a supporting tube 65 at the convex part of the bottom thereof. The shunt disc 43 is provided with a supporting base 45 at the convex part of the top thereof for mounting the supporting tube 65.

(22) The water-passing passage 41 comprises a main passage 421, shunt passages 431 and nozzle passages 441, which are arranged in the main body 42, the shunt disc 43 and nozzles 44 respectively. The number of the shunt passages coincides with the number of the nozzle passages 44. The shunt passage 431 communicates with the main passage 421. In operation, the water from the pump 5 is diverted to the shunt passages 431 through the main passage 421, and then is sprayed out through the nozzle passages 441, to form a fountain from outside to inside.

(23) The nozzle 44 comprises a tube and a base which are formed into one piece. The base is a cuboid and arranged in the shunt disc 43. The top surface of the base is flush with the top surface of the shunt disc 43. The two surfaces are collectively covered with seal glue. The nozzles 44 are located below the decorative cover 7, such that the water column is broken into pieces by the hollowed-out pattern when passing through the decorative cover 7.

(24) Regarding embodiment 3, referring to FIG. 7, the difference between embodiments 3 and 2 lies in the following aspect. The extension lines of the lower ends of the nozzles 44 converge at the central axis of the light hood 6.

(25) Regarding embodiment 4, referring to FIG. 8, the differences between embodiments 4 and 2 lie in the following aspects. The inner wall of the water storage wall 2 has an increasing thickness from the opening to the bottom. The water storage chamber 2 is provided with a water-shielding plate 21 arranged below the light hood 6. The water-shielding plate 21 forms an interference fit with or is glued to the inner wall of the water storage chamber 2. The water-shielding plate 21 is located above the filter plate 9. The water-shielding plate 21 is downwardly recessed around the central part as a center to form a cone, and the central part thereof is arranged to be spaced art from the outer wall of the water-passing bracket 4 to form at least a shutoff groove 211 on the conical surface of the water-shielding plate 21.

(26) During normal use, the water flown down from the light hood 6 is guided by the conical structure of the water-shielding plate. In this process, part of the impurities such as dust contained in the water are trapped by the shutoff grove 211 so as to protect the pump 5. In addition, since the battery compartment is at the bottom, accidental flip may occur. When a user accidentally flips it, the water-shielding plate 21 can serve as a water shield to prevent water from inadvertently flowing out.

(27) Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the shunt disc 43 consists of upper and lower members, in which the inner surface of the upper member abuts against the top of the base. An adjustment cap 46 is arranged at the junction of the main passage 421 and the shunt passage 431. An adaptor chamber 461 communicated with the main passage 421 is arranged at bottom of the adjustment cap 46. The sidewall of the adaptor chamber 461 has at least a set of through apertures 462 therein to communicate with the shunt passages 431. The top of the adjustment cap 46 has an adjustment rod 47 fixed thereto, which extends through the shunt disc 43, the inner cavity of the supporting tube 65 and the light hood 6. The top of the adjustment rod 47 has a knob 48 fixed thereto.
