An annular water passage 49 is disposed between the third annular cavity 45 and the fourth annular cavity 46. The water in the third annular cavity 45 overflows and flows into the fourth annular cavity 46 through the annular water passage 49, the water flows out along the fourth annular cavity 46, and air is sucked in from the hollow hole 41 during a process of the flowing out. In this embodiment, annular shapes (i.e., the first annular cavity 43, the second annular cavity 44, the third annular cavity 45 and the fourth annular cavity 46) have circular structures, but they are not limited to thereto, as required, the annular shapes can also be rectangular structures, square structures, polygonal structures, etc.
  • In the hollow water outlet mechanism of this embodiment: the first annular cavity 43 is used to convert a water unilateral inflow from the water inlet passage 42 into a water annular flow, so as to reduce a flow rate of the water unilateral inflow and to make a flow rate of a full circle to be uniform. The plurality of first water blocking strips 47 and 47' circumferentially disposed at intervals is used to convert the water annular flow into a plurality of water radial flow flowing into the second annular cavity 44 and circumferentially disposed at intervals, so as to rectify and convert the water unilateral inflow into a water multilateral inflow. The second annular cavity 44 and the plurality of second water blocking strips 48 circumferentially disposed at intervals are used to adjust a flow direction of a rotating water, to convert the plurality of water radial flow into a flow directing to a center, to make a flow rate of a full circle to be uniform, so as to rectify and convert the rotating water into a non-rotating water. The water in the third annular cavity 45 overflows and flows into the fourth annular cavity 46 through the annular water passage 49 to reduce a water flow rate, to ensure the water to define a complete circle structure, and to prevent from breaking. The water flows out along the fourth annular cavity 46, the air is sucked in from the hollow hole 41 during the process of the flowing out. Water drops from a high place to increase the flow rate and to suck the air from the hollow hole, so as to define hollow water.
