The water passage assembly 1 includes a main body 11. The main body 11 includes a water passage cavity, a water inlet, a plurality of water outlets, and an insertion channel. The water inlet and water outlets are interconnected with the water passage cavity. The water passage cavity and the insertion channel are arranged at an interval. The water inlet is connected to a water inlet joint 12, and the water outlet is connected to a water outlet joint 13. In this embodiment, there are two water outlets, and the two water outlets are respectively connected to one of the water outlet joints 13. The switching assembly 4 is inserted and accommodated in the water passage cavity, and is interconnected with the water inlet joint 12. By operating the switching assembly 4, the water inlet joint 12 may be selectively connected to one of the two water outlets. A movement channel 114 is arranged between the insertion channel and the water passage cavity. The water outlet pipe assembly 3 is inserted through the insertion channel. The movement channel 114 is internally provided with a piston 2, and the piston 2 is movable in the movement channel 114 and can press against the water outlet pipe assembly 3. The water inside the water passage cavity applies pressure on the piston 2 to push the piston and make the piston press against the water outlet pipe assembly 3, thereby providing an additional means to help in avoiding movement of the water outlet pipe assembly 3 and ensuring that the water outlet pipe assembly 3 is stably fastened. Especially during the process of taking a shower, the present disclosure can ensure that the water outlet pipe assembly 3 will not suddenly fall down and hurt the user.
The water passage cavity is internally provided with partition walls to divide the water passage cavity into a water inlet cavity, an accommodation cavity 111, and two water outlet cavities 113 that are spaced apart. The water inlet cavity, the accommodation cavity 111 and the water outlet cavities 113 are interconnected sequentially. One of the water outlet cavities 113 is interconnected with the water outlet pipe assembly 3, and the other water outlet cavity 113 is connected to the handheld shower via the water outlet joint 13. The accommodation cavity 111 is provided with a through opening at a side away from the water inlet cavity. The switching assembly 4 is inserted into and accommodated in the accommodation cavity 111 from the opening, and the switching assembly 4 can be operated to select one of the water outlet cavities 113 to interconnect with the water inlet cavity. The movement channel 114 is provided with a water passage hole 112 at a side close to the water passage cavity. The water passage hole 112 is interconnected with the accommodation cavity 111 and/or the water outlet cavity 113. The water flows from the water passage cavity to the movement channel 114 via the water passage hole 112, and pushes the piston 2 to press against the water outlet pipe assembly 3, so that the water outlet pipe assembly 3 is stably fastened and unlikely to move and fall down. In this embodiment, the water passage hole 112 is interconnected with the accommodation cavity 111, so that the water can flow directly from the accommodation cavity 111 to the movement channel 114 to push the piston 2. Referring to

The working principle of the present disclosure is briefly described as follows.
The water flows into the water inlet cavity from the water inlet joint 12 and then flows to the accommodation cavity 111. By operating the switching assembly 4, the water passage may be selected and switched to connect the water flow to any of the water outlet cavities 113.
When the switching assembly 4 is operated to connect the water flow to the water outlet cavity 113 interconnected with the water outlet pipe assembly 3, the water not only flows through the water outlet cavity 113, the water outlet joint 13, and the water outlet pipe assembly 3, but also flows through the water passage hole 112 to push the piston 2 as shown in
When the switching assembly 4 is operated to connect the water flow to the water outlet cavity 113 interconnected with the handheld shower, the water not only flows through the water outlet cavity 113, the water outlet joint 13, and the handheld shower, but also flows through the accommodation cavity 111 and the water passage hole 112 to push the piston 2 as shown in
When no water flows in the water outlet cavity 113 or the accommodation cavity 111, there is no water pressure applied on the piston 2, and the movable fastening element 22 moves toward the water passage hole 112 and gets away from the water outlet assembly 3 under the action of the reset force of the spring 23, such that the water outlet pipe assembly is released. Meanwhile, with the anti-slip component 31 and the adjustment male part 33, the water outlet pipe assembly 3 cannot move arbitrarily.
According to the present disclosure, a piston 2 is arranged between the water passage assembly 1 and the water outlet pipe assembly 3. Under the action of the water pressure from the water flow in the water passage assembly 1, the piston 2 is pushed to approach and then tightly press against the water outlet pipe assembly 3, so as to provide an additional securing structure to avoid movement of the water outlet pipe assembly in the process of taking a shower. The water passage assembly 1 is internally provided with a water passage cavity and an insertion channel, and the movable water outlet pipe assembly 3 is inserted through the insertion channel. A movement channel 114 is provided between the insertion channel and the water passage cavity, so that the piston 2 is movable in the movement channel 114 to press against or move away from the water outlet pipe assembly 3. When water flows through, the piston 2 is applied with water pressure to push against the water outlet pipe assembly 3. When there is no water flow, no water pressure is applied on the piston 2 and the piston 2 moves away from the water outlet pipe assembly 3, so as to allow adjustment of the height of the water outlet pipe assembly 3 as desired. The water passage cavity is provided with a water inlet cavity, an accommodation cavity 111 and a plurality of water outlet cavities 113 that are partitioned with each other and are interconnected in sequence. The water passage hole 112 arranged on the movement channel 114 is interconnected with the accommodation cavity 111 or the water outlet cavity 113. By doing so, after operating the switching assembly 4 in the accommodation cavity 111, no matter which water outlet cavity 113 the water flow is switched to, the pressure of the water flow can always be applied on the piston 2 to push the piston 2 to press against the water outlet pipe assembly 3. Therefore, either the top shower mounted on the water outlet pipe assembly 3 or the handheld shower is used by the user during the process of taking a shower, it can all be ensured that the movable water outlet pipe assembly 3 is stably fastened.
