[0043] In this embodiment, when the second sensor sends a detection signal to the control device, it indicates that the user wants to wash their hands. The control device controls the water supply mechanism to start working, and the water spray pipe 43 sprays out cleaning water for the user to wash their hands. During the washing process, the cleaning water is collected by the water receiving tray 42 and discharged into the drain pipe through the drain trough at the bottom of the water receiving tray 42. When the second sensor stops sending a detection signal to the control device, the control device controls the water supply mechanism to stop working, thus completing the hand washing task.

[0044] In other embodiments, the control device includes a timer electrically connected to the controller, which can preset the working time of the water spray mechanism. When the water spray mechanism starts working, the timer starts counting down.
