Valve core and water outlet apparatus

A valve core, configured to directly connect to water hoses, comprising:

• a unitary, integrally formed valve body;
• wherein a water control assembly is disposed in the valve body;
• at least one water inlet mounting hole is integrally defined in the valve body and is in communication with the water control assembly and is configured to directly connect to a corresponding water inlet hose in the water hoses;
• the at least one water inlet mounting hole comprises a circular hole configured for achieving a sealing connection with the corresponding water inlet hose;
• a limiting structure is disposed on an outer side of the valve body and is configured to limit the valve body to rotating in a water outlet apparatus when the valve core is mounted in the water outlet apparatus;
• wherein when the valve core is installed in the water outlet apparatus, the corresponding water inlet hose is directly inserted into the at least one water inlet mounting hole defined in the valve body thereby realizing direct connection of the corresponding water inlet hose to the valve body without requiring connection via an end face of a body of the water outlet apparatus to a bottom end face of the valve core, such that no sealing member is required between the bottom end face of the valve core and the body of the water outlet apparatus, and no sealing member is required on a peripheral side of the valve core, thereby simplifying an installation method of the valve core and the hoses and providing a leak-proof effect;
• wherein there is further disposed an axial positioning structure on the outer side of the valve body for limiting the valve body from axially moving in the water outlet apparatus when the valve core is mounted in the water outlet apparatus;
• wherein the axial positioning structure is an annular positioning shoulder protruding radially outward from an outer peripheral side of the valve body.
