1. A flow division water outlet device configured to guide a water flow to a first water outlet member and a second water outlet member respectively and comprising:
a device body, internally provided with a flow division seat, wherein the flow division seat divides an inside of the device body into a first water outlet cavity, a second water outlet cavity, an accommodating cavity and a guide-in cavity;
wherein the first water outlet cavity guides the water flow to the first water outlet member, and a first flow passage is formed between the first water outlet cavity and the accommodating cavity;
the second water outlet cavity guides the water flow to the second water outlet member, and a second flow passage is formed between the second water outlet cavity and the accommodating cavity;
a water inlet passage is formed between the accommodating cavity and the guide-in cavity; and
the flow division water outlet device further comprises a water division valve element, disposed in the accommodating cavity and configured to guide the water flow to the first flow passage or the second flow passage respectively,
and further comprising
a valve body, provided with a water inlet corresponding to the water inlet passage as well as first water outlets and a second water outlet corresponding to the first flow passage and the second flow passage respectively; and
a valve rod, one end being at least partially arranged in the valve body in a penetrating manner,
the valve rod is configured to rotate to independently open the first water outlets or the second water outlet;
such that the flow division water outlet device at least has the following two states:
the water flow flows to the first flow passage through the water inlet and the first water outlets when the first water outlets are opened; or
the water flow flows to the second flow passage through the water inlet and the second water outlet when the second water outlet is opened;
wherein
the first water outlet member is a water tap, a water outlet end being capable of rotating to be above a cup cleaner; and
the second water outlet member is the cup cleaner, such that the cup cleaner and the water tap may clean an inner lateral surface and an outer lateral surface of a container respectively when the water outlet end of the water tap rotates to be above the cup cleaner and
the flow division seat is provided with:
a flow division upper wall, configured to separate the accommodating cavity from the first water outlet cavity, the first flow passage being formed between the flow division upper wall and an inner wall surface of the device body; and
a flow division lower wall, configured to separate the guide-in cavity from the second water outlet cavity and cause the water flow to flow through the flow division lower wall after entering from the guide-in cavity and then enter the accommodating cavity.
