The plurality of washing machines share one detergent feeding device, and each washing machine does not need to be provided with a detergent feeding device. The present application realizes one valve for multiple uses, has a simple structure, occupies a small space, and reduces the cost. In addition, the plurality of liquid outlets 12 are arranged on the side of the switching valve in the circumferential direction, the liquid inlet 11 is arranged on the side of the switching valve, and the liquid inlet 11 is arranged away from the center of the end of the switching valve.
