Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the shower apparatus 10 in one embodiment has at least the advantages of simple structure, simplicity and convenience in use. Specifically, the shower apparatus 10 includes a faucet mechanism 20 and at least one shower head, wherein the shower head can be a hand shower head 30, a top shower head 40 or a body position shower head. The faucet mechanism 20 includes a passage switching assembly 100 and a water outlet member 200.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the channel switching assembly 100 includes a switching valve core 110, the switching valve core 110 includes a valve core body 120 and a rotating member 130, the rotating member 130 has a rotating end 132 and a switching end 134 opposite to the rotating end 132, the switching end 134 is provided with a drainage groove 133, and the water outlet member 200 is disposed at the rotating end 132. The valve core body 120 is provided with at least two water outlets 122, wherein one water outlet 122 is communicated with the water outlet member 200. The rotating end 132 drives the switching end 134 to rotate relative to the valve core body 120, so that the drainage grooves 133 are correspondingly communicated with different water outlets 122. Wherein, the shower head is communicated with at least another water outlet 122.

When the shower apparatus 10 is used, the water outlet member 200 is disposed on the rotating end 132 of the rotating member 130, and the rotating end 132 is disposed opposite to the switching end 134, so that the rotating end 132 drives the switching end 134 to rotate relative to the valve body 120 by operating the water outlet member 200. Because the valve core body 120 is provided with at least two water outlets 122, and the switching end 134 is provided with the drainage groove 133, the drainage groove 133 can correspondingly communicate with different water outlets 122 in the process that the switching end 134 rotates relative to the valve core body 120. Meanwhile, as one water outlet 122 is communicated with the water outlet part 200 and the shower head is communicated with at least one other water outlet 122, the use of the shower head or the water outlet part 200 corresponding to different water outlets 122 is realized. Above-mentioned shower device 10 only needs to operate and makes water piece 200 so that rotation end 132 drives switching end 134 and rotates for case body 120, can realize the control of water piece 200 or gondola water faucet break-make, and not only simple structure, with low costs just avoid independent configuration operation structure for shower device 10 is succinct more, pleasing to the eye.

In an embodiment, the end surface of the switching end 134 is formed with at least a first passage 135, one side of the valve core body 120 facing the rotating member 130 is formed with a water outlet 122, the water outlet 122 is a first water outlet (not shown), and the first water outlet can be correspondingly communicated with the first passage 135. By forming the first passage 135 on the switching end 134, the complexity of the structure of the valve body 120 can be effectively reduced, and the structure of the switching valve core 110 can be more concise by reasonably utilizing the switching end 134.

Specifically, one end of the first water outlet may communicate with the drainage groove 133, and the other end may communicate with the first passage 135. The water flow can flow from one end of the first water outlet to the other end of the first water outlet through the drainage groove 133, and then flows into the first passage 135.

Alternatively, the drainage groove 133 is open on the end face of the switching end 134, and the drainage groove 133 is juxtaposed with the first passage 135.
