When the faucet user needs to use water at a set temperature and the water introduced into the telescopic connecting tube 301 does not reach the set temperature, the fourth driving member 701 and the fifth driving member 801 automatically adjust the opening time, thereby controlling the temperature of the water introduced into the telescopic connecting tube 301.

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the bottom-mounted connecting tube 1 is connected to the through hole of the bathroom basin, the water temperature regulating component 6 is located at the bottom of the bathroom basin and is connected to the bathroom water inlet pipe (not shown in the figure), the first driving member 202 can drive the faucet body 203 to move longitudinally, and adjust the height position of the faucet body 203. When the handle 205 is lifted, the linkage control tube 204 is opened synchronously, and the water can flow out from the front end of the bottom side of the faucet body 203 in a directional manner. When the first driving member 201 moves longitudinally, the telescopic connecting tube 301 is longitudinally telescoped synchronously. When the linkage control tube 204 is opened, the second driving member 303 is opened synchronously, and the water can flow out from the telescopic connecting tube 203. 301 is introduced into the first connecting pipe 302, and alcohol liquid is stored in the reserve liquid tank 401. When the second driving member 303 is closed, a plurality of spraying members 405 are opened, and in cooperation with the connecting hose 402, the alcohol liquid in the reserve liquid tank 401 can be sprayed out through the plurality of spraying members 405 in a directional manner, and the handle 205 is disinfected with liquefied alcohol to prevent the handle 205 from breeding bacteria, thereby improving the external hygiene of the faucet. When the second driving member 303 is opened, the water discharge control member 503 is opened synchronously, and the water lifted by the second driving member 303 is discharged through the water discharge groove 504. When the faucet is closed, the water will be discharged from the water discharge control member 503. 03 stores a certain amount of residual water inside. When the water discharge control component 503 is sensed to be closed for a certain period of time, the third driving component 501 is opened at a fixed time, and a negative pressure is formed inside the second connecting pipe 502 and a plurality of water collecting hole grooves 505. The residual water remaining inside the water discharge control component 503 is introduced into the reserve liquid tank 401 through the second connecting pipe 502 under negative pressure, and the water inside the reserve liquid tank 401 is replenished. While improving the utilization rate of the water, it prevents the water from being stored at the position of the water discharge control component 503, which leads to bacterial growth and cross infection. The end of the heating component 702 away from the fourth driving component 701 is connected to the bathroom water inlet pipe (not shown in the figure) The heating element 702 can sterilize the incoming water by high temperature, and is a curved tube setting, which can further extend the heating time of the water, thereby improving the control accuracy of the water heating. A temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic connecting tube 301, and a PLC logic processor is arranged on the fourth driving element 701 and the fifth driving element 801. When the faucet user needs to use water of set temperature and the water introduced into the telescopic connecting tube 301 does not reach the set temperature, the fourth driving element 701 and the fifth driving element 801 automatically adjust the opening time, thereby controlling the temperature of the water introduced into the telescopic connecting tube 301.

[0043] In summary, the external sterilization component 4 can sterilize and clean the outside of the faucet at regular intervals. At the same time, a water storage and collection component 5 is provided at the water discharge position of the faucet. While improving the utilization rate of the water body, it prevents the storage of water at the discharge control part 503 position, which may cause bacterial growth and cross infection, and reduces the risk of bacterial transmission.

This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
