The surfaces where the openings of the superheated and supercooled holes 5331 and 5311 are located are truncated surfaces, with a gap between the truncated surfaces and the wall of the temperature regulating cavity 42, allowing hot or cold water to flow in when corresponding to the inlet channel 411. The connecting body 532 is cylindrical, with both ends connected to the cold water passage body 531 and the hot water passage body 533.

[0045] The first transmission wheel 52 is connected to the end of the temperature control valve 53 away from the process hole of the temperature control chamber 42 in a non-rotating connection, such as by tooth meshing or other non-rotating structure.

[0046] refer to Figure 9The temperature sensing element 54 is installed upstream of the temperature regulating valve 53, or both upstream and downstream of the temperature regulating valve 53, to monitor the temperature. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three temperature sensing elements 54, which are used to monitor the water temperature of the two inlet channels 411 and the flow measuring chamber 44, respectively. The temperature sensing element 54 is installed in the temperature measuring unit 477.

[0047] The first control motor 51 drives the temperature regulating valve 53 to rotate via the first transmission wheel 52. The first control motor 51 is located above the temperature regulating part 471, specifically, it is mounted on the first motor mounting part 475. The output end (also a gear) of the first control motor 51 meshes with the first transmission wheel 52, and the output end of the first control motor 51 is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the temperature regulating valve 53, thereby controlling the movement of the temperature regulating valve 53. The first control motor 51 is mounted on the height direction 91 of the temperature regulating cavity 42 and is located on the side opposite to the bottom of the first groove 21.

[0048] The first control motor 51 is adapted to drive the temperature regulating valve 53 to move according to the temperature monitored by the temperature sensing element 54, so that the temperature regulating valve 53 adjusts the water temperature to the set temperature. Of course, it can also be adjusted to the temperature required by the user through a control signal.

[0049] refer to Figures 10-13 The flow regulating component 6 is located on the side of the temperature regulating section 471 away from the inlet pipe 41 and is placed side by side with the outlet pipe 46 in the length direction 92. The flow regulating component 6 is used to regulate the flow rate. The flow regulating component 6 includes a second control motor 61, a second transmission gear, and a flow regulating valve 63. The flow regulating valve 63 is installed in the flow regulating chamber 43 along the width direction 93. Its inlet end is connected to the flow regulating chamber 43, and its outlet end is connected to the water distribution chamber 45. The flow regulating valve 63 is adapted to move to change the communication area between its inlet end and the flow regulating chamber 43. The flow regulating valve 63 includes a moving valve plate 631 and a stationary valve plate 632. The stationary valve plate 632 is provided with a flow regulating hole 6321 as the inlet end of the flow regulating valve 63. The moving valve plate 631 is adapted to move relative to the stationary valve plate 632 in a parallel direction. Rotating along the axis in the width direction 93 changes the flow rate of the regulating orifice 6321. For example, the moving valve plate 631 is provided with a flow orifice 6311 and a blocking part 6312. The flow orifice 6311 is adapted to connect the regulating orifice 6321 and the outlet end of the regulating valve 63 when it corresponds to the regulating orifice 6321. The blocking part 6312 is adapted to block the flow orifice 6311 to stop the flow. Flow regulation can be achieved by the area of ​​the regulating orifice 6321 blocked by the blocking part 6312 or the area of ​​the flow orifice 6311 corresponding to the regulating orifice 6321.

[0050] The second transmission wheel 62 is connected to the movable valve plate 631 to prevent rotation. The output end of the second control motor 61 meshes with the second transmission wheel 62 and is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the movable valve plate 631. The second control motor 61 is mounted on the length direction 92 of the flow regulating valve 63 and is located on the side away from the flow measuring chamber 44.

[0051] refer to Figure 12 Impeller 72 is installed inside flow measuring cavity 44 and is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the length direction 92 when water passes through flow measuring cavity 44. Magnet is installed on impeller 72 and rotates with impeller 72. There are two magnets, one of which generates a positive magnetic field and the other generates a negative magnetic field, so as to turn Hall element 71 on and off.

[0052] refer to Figure 9 The Hall element 71 is installed on the outer wall of the pipe 4. Specifically, the Hall element 71 is installed on the side of the pipe 4 opposite to the bottom of the first groove 21, and is installed in the Hall groove 4781 of the Hall portion 478. The Hall element 71 is located close to the impeller 72 to transmit flow signals. Specifically, the flow rate can be determined by the time interval between the on and off states of the Hall element 71.

[0053] The second control motor 61 drives the valve plate 631 to rotate via the second transmission wheel 62. The second control motor 61 is located on the side of the flow regulating section 472 opposite to the water distribution section 473. Specifically, the second control motor 61 is installed in the second motor mounting section 476. The second control motor 61 is adapted to drive the flow regulating valve 63 to move according to the flow signal, so that the output flow of the flow regulating valve 63 is constant. Of course, it can also be adjusted to the corresponding flow rate according to the control signal.

[0054] refer to Figure 14 , Figure 15 The solenoid valve 8 is fastened to the side of the pipe 4 away from the bottom of the first groove 21 (i.e., the solenoid valve 8 is fastened to the side of the pipe 4 away from the control board), specifically installed in the solenoid part 474. The solenoid valve 8 is electrically connected to the control board to open and close the connection between the water distribution chamber 45 and the water outlet 461, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet 461. The solenoid valve 8 includes a valve body 81, a moving iron core 82, a biasing element 83, and a diaphragm 84; the valve body 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 85 and a water passage hole 86, the water passage hole 86 being adapted to connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the valve body 81; the diaphragm 84 is adapted to move to open and close the water passage hole 86, and in this embodiment, it slides along the height direction 91. The two ends of the biasing element 83 along the height direction 91 act on the diaphragm 84 and the valve body 81 respectively, so that the diaphragm 84 blocks the water passage hole 86; The moving iron core 82 is adapted to open and close the pressure relief hole 85. When the pressure relief hole 85 is closed, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the inlet end of the valve body 81 is higher than the pressure on the side closer to the inlet end of the valve body 81, and it will not be pushed by the water passage, thus keeping the water passage hole 86 blocked. When the pressure relief hole 85 is opened, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the inlet end of the valve body 81 is released by the outlet end of the valve body 81, and the diaphragm 84 is adapted to open the water passage hole 86 under hydraulic action. The action of the moving iron core 82 to open the pressure relief hole 85 can be achieved by electromagnetic force, while the action of closing the pressure relief hole 85 can be achieved by electromagnetic force or spring force.

[0055] The control panel is positioned at the bottom of the first groove 21 and is located within the control slot 28.

[0056] During installation, first install the water circuit assembly 20 and connect all electrical components to the control board. Then, install the control board in the control slot 28, store the coil, and place the water circuit assembly 20 on the support wall 27 along the third direction. Secure the pipe 4 to each threaded hole 272. Finally, close the first shell 2 and the second shell 3 and lock them with screws to complete the installation.

[0057] In use, when no temperature adjustment is being performed, the temperature control valve 53 rotates until the hot water body 533 blocks its corresponding inlet channel 411. At this time, the subcooling hole 5311 connects its corresponding inlet channel 411 and the temperature control chamber 42, allowing only cold water to enter. After a temperature adjustment command is applied, the first control motor 51 controls the temperature control valve 53 to rotate, changing the water flow area of ​​the subcooling hole 5311 and the superheating hole 5331, thereby achieving initial temperature adjustment. After temperature adjustment, the temperature control valve 53 can also be controlled by the first control motor 51 to rotate based on the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor 54, in order to achieve constant temperature water output.

[0058] When the control board provides flow regulation or switching signals, the second control motor 61 drives the moving valve plate 631 to rotate relative to the stationary valve plate 632 to regulate flow and switch water. When there is a constant flow requirement, the control board receives the flow signal provided by the Hall element 71 to control the moving valve plate 631 to rotate and maintain constant flow.

[0059] When the solenoid valve 8 is closed, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the inlet end of the valve body 81 is higher than the pressure on the side closer to the inlet end of the valve body 81, and it will not be pushed by the water path, so that the water passage 86 remains blocked; when the pressure relief hole 85 is opened, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the inlet end of the valve body 81 is released by the outlet end of the valve body 81, and the diaphragm 84 is adapted to open the water passage 86 under hydraulic action to realize water flow.

[0061] The control board is located at the bottom of the first groove 21; and the solenoid valve 8 is electrically connected to the control board to control the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 46, so as to achieve control. The water circuit assembly 20 is fastened to the first housing 2 to achieve fixation. The solenoid valve 8 is fastened to the side of the pipe 4 away from the bottom of the first groove 21. So when the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are fastened and locked together, the solenoid valve 8 is housed in the second groove 31. The height of the first groove 21 is lower than the height of the second groove 31 so that the solenoid valve 8 can be housed in the second groove 31.

[0062] The integrally molded pipe 4 includes an inlet pipe 41, an outlet pipe 46, a temperature regulating section 471, a flow regulating section 472, a water distribution section 473, and an electromagnetic section 474.

The water distribution section 473 has a water distribution cavity 45 extending along the length direction 92 and is connected to the flow regulating cavity 43. The electromagnetic section 474 has an electromagnetic cavity 4741 suitable for installing the electromagnetic valve 8. The electromagnetic cavity 4741 extends along the height direction 91 and is connected to the water distribution cavity 45 and the water outlet channel 461 for the installation of the electromagnetic valve 8 to control the water outlet. The extension direction of each part of the above-mentioned pipes 4 is set so as to facilitate the installation of corresponding parts (such as the temperature regulating component 5 and the flow regulating component 6), facilitate one-piece injection molding, facilitate processing, reduce costs, and improve sealing performance.

[0063] The inlet pipe 41, temperature regulating section 471, and flow regulating section 472 are arranged sequentially along the width direction 93 and connected in sequence; the flow regulating section 472 and the water distribution section 473 are arranged along the length direction 92 and connected; the water distribution section 473 and the outlet pipe 46 are arranged along the width direction 93 and connected, with the outlet pipe 46 located on the side of the water distribution section 473 away from the inlet pipe 41; the electromagnetic section 474 is arranged along the height direction 91 and connected to the water distribution section 473. This arrangement ensures that the pipe thickness is not very high. The height of the electromagnetic section 474 is higher than the height of the water distribution section 473 to control the water outlet path.

[0064] The water distribution section 473 and the temperature regulating section 471 are staggered along the width direction 93 so that the flow regulating section 472 and the water distribution section 473 are partially located on the same length direction 92, making the layout more reasonable.

[0065] The first motor mounting part 475 is provided with a first motor cavity 4751, which extends along the length direction 92. The mounting opening of the first motor cavity 4751 is located on the same side as the mounting opening of the temperature regulating cavity 42, so that the pipe 4 can be integrally formed, which facilitates the installation of the first drive motor and is suitable for the first drive motor to control the temperature regulating valve 53. The first motor mounting part 475 is located in the height direction 91 of the temperature regulating part 471 and is higher than the temperature regulating part 471 to facilitate the allocation of corresponding space.

[0066] The second motor mounting part 476 has a second motor cavity 4761, which extends along the width direction 93. The mounting opening of the second electrode cavity is located on the same side as the mounting opening of the flow regulating cavity 43, so that the pipe 4 can be integrally formed, facilitating the installation of the second drive motor and allowing the second drive motor to control the flow regulating valve 63. The second motor mounting part 476 is located along the length direction 92 of the flow regulating part 472 and is located in the direction away from the water distribution part 473, so as to facilitate the allocation of corresponding space, and the first motor mounting part 475 is located above it and will not interfere with it. The height of the outlet pipe 46 is higher than the height of the inlet pipe 41, so as to leave space for the installation of the solenoid valve 8. A temperature measuring part 477 is also provided, which has a temperature measuring hole 4771 extending in the vertical direction. The temperature measuring hole 4771 communicates with the water inlet channel 411 and / or the water distribution cavity 45, which facilitates the installation and temperature measurement of the temperature sensing element 54 and allows for integral forming. The temperature measuring section 477 has three parts, and each temperature measuring hole 4771 is connected to the two water inlets 411 and the water distribution chamber 45 respectively. The temperature measuring section 477 is higher than the water inlet section and the water distribution section 473 for real-time temperature adjustment. The Hall section 478 is higher than the water distribution section 473 and has a Hall groove 4781 with the groove opening facing upward for real-time flow adjustment, and can be integrally formed.

[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, a housing 10 is provided with a storage cavity 11, a water inlet hole 12, and a water outlet hole 13; The receiving cavity 11 can accommodate water channel components and some electrical components. The water inlet hole 12 is adapted for the installation of the water inlet pipe 41, and the water inlet hole 12 extends in the width direction 93; the water inlet hole 12 communicates with the receiving cavity 11 so that the water inlet pipe 41 communicates with the water passage in the receiving cavity 11; The water outlet hole 13 is suitable for the installation of the water outlet pipe 46. It extends along the width direction 93 and along the height direction 91 relative to the water outlet 461. This method makes it more convenient to receive water. It is located on two opposite walls with the water inlet hole 12, so as to facilitate water reception and avoid mutual interference, and the water circuit is better set up. It is connected to the receiving cavity 11 so that the water outlet pipe 46 can communicate with the water circuit in the receiving cavity 11. There is a gap between it and the water inlet hole 12 in the height direction 91. The height direction 91 is perpendicular to the width direction 93 and the length direction 92 so as to leave space for the installation of the solenoid valve 8.

[0068] The inlet hole 12 and the outlet hole 13 are respectively adapted to the dimensions of the inlet pipe 41 and the outlet pipe 46 to ensure a seal.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the projection of the water outlet hole 13 and the projection of the water inlet hole 12 do not coincide on the projection plane perpendicular to the width direction 93, to prevent the problem that the width direction 93 of the outer shell 10 is too large when they coincide.

[0070] The number of water inlet holes 12 is two, which are respectively suitable for hot water and cold water, and are arranged along the length direction 92 perpendicular to the width direction 93, so as to minimize the size of the outer casing 10 along the height direction 91. In one exemplary embodiment, a power cord hole 14 and / or a signal hole 15 are also provided. The power cord hole 14 and the signal hole 15 extend along the length direction 92 and are both connected to the storage cavity 11. The power cord hole 14 is used to allow the power cord to enter the storage cavity 11, and the signal hole 15 is used to allow the signal cord to pass out and be electrically connected to the shower or faucet body.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, a microphone hole 26 is also provided for sound reception to facilitate voice control. The microphone hole 26 extends along the width direction 93.

[0072] In one exemplary embodiment, it includes a first shell 2 and a second shell 3; The first shell 2 is provided with a first groove 21, a first water inlet half hole 22 and a first water outlet half hole 23, and the first water inlet half hole 22 and the first water outlet half hole 23 are connected to the first groove 21; The second shell 3 is provided with a second groove 31, a second water inlet half hole 32 and a second water outlet half hole 33, and the second water inlet half hole 32 and the second water outlet half hole 33 are connected to the second groove 31; The first shell 2 is connected to the second shell 3, so that the first groove 21 and the second groove 31 surround to form a receiving cavity 11, the first water inlet half hole 22 and the second water inlet half hole 32 surround to form a water inlet hole 12, and the first water outlet half hole 23 and the second water outlet half hole 33 surround to form a water outlet hole 13. After being split into a first shell 2 and a second shell 3, and with the first inlet half-hole 22 and the first outlet half-hole 23 suitable for the inlet pipe 41 and the outlet pipe 46 to be installed along the height direction 91, the water circuit assembly 20 can be installed along a third direction, making installation more convenient.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, the first shell 2 further includes a support wall 27 extending along the height direction 91 and protruding from the bottom of the first groove 21. The support wall 27 has support holes 271 suitable for the water supply assembly 20 to be installed and seated along the height direction 91, so as to improve the stability and support strength of the water supply assembly 20 at various positions. The support holes 271 penetrate the support wall 27 in a direction perpendicular to the height direction 91 and open on the top surface of the support wall 27 to allow the water supply assembly 20 to be installed along the height direction 91. The support wall 27 includes a support position for the inlet pipe 41, a support position for the through pipe, and a support position for the outlet pipe 46. The height of the support position for the outlet pipe 46 is higher than that of the support position for the through pipe, and the height of the support position for the through pipe is higher than that of the support position for the inlet pipe 41, so as to gradually support the pipe 4 that is gradually raised from the inlet pipe 41 to the outlet pipe 46. The support wall 27 is adapted to support the inlet pipe 41, the temperature regulating section 471, the flow regulating section 472, the water distribution section 473 and the outlet pipe 46, thereby raising the structural components so that the control plate can be installed below the water distribution section 473.

[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, the support wall 27 and the bottom of the first groove 21 together form a control groove 28. The control groove 28 opens along the height direction 91. The control groove 28 is suitable for the control board to be installed and seated along the height direction 91, thereby protecting the control board. After the control groove 28 is formed, it can also be sealed by means of sealing glue, etc., to improve the sealing performance.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, the support wall 27 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 272, thereby enabling the support wall 27 to also serve as an auxiliary fixation device for the water system assembly 20. The threaded holes 272 face the bottom of the second groove, so that the pipe 4 is installed on the first shell 2 first, and then the second shell 3 is installed, thus preventing mistaken installation.

[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, the second housing 3 is larger in dimension along the height direction 91 than the first housing 2 in the height direction 91, to allow for the installation of the solenoid valve 8 extending along the height direction 91. The outlet hole 13 is closer to the bottom of the second groove 31 than the inlet hole 12, to leave space for the installation of the solenoid valve 8.

[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, a water circuit assembly 20 includes a pipe 4, a temperature regulating assembly 5, a flow regulating assembly 6, and a solenoid valve 8.

[0078] Pipeline 4 is provided with two inlet channels 411 and a temperature regulating chamber 42, a flow regulating chamber 43, a water distribution chamber 45 and an outlet channel 461 connected in sequence. The outlet ends of the two inlet channels 411 are connected to the temperature regulating chamber 42 and are respectively suitable for the flow of cold water and hot water. The two inlet ends of the temperature regulating component 5 are respectively connected to the two inlet channels 411, and its outlet end is connected to the flow regulating cavity 43, which is suitable for regulating the water temperature for user convenience. The flow regulating component 6 includes a second control motor 61 and a flow regulating valve 63. The flow regulating valve 63 is installed in the flow regulating chamber 43, with its inlet end connected to the flow regulating chamber 43 and its outlet end connected to the water distribution chamber 45. The flow regulating valve 63 is adapted to move to change the communication area between its inlet end and the flow regulating chamber 43, thereby controlling the flow rate. The second control motor 61 is adapted to control the movement of the flow regulating valve 63. Controlling the flow rate through the motor makes the control more accurate and saves effort. The solenoid valve 8 is suitable for opening and closing the connection between the water distribution chamber 45 and the water outlet 461. Opening and closing the solenoid valve 8 is more convenient, and when it is used in conjunction with the flow regulating component 6, it can still achieve the function of stopping water and preventing water waste if one of them is damaged.

[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, the temperature control component 5 includes a first control motor 51 and a temperature control valve 53. The temperature control valve 53 is installed in the temperature control chamber 42, and its two inlet ends are connected to two inlet channels 411, and its outlet end is connected to the flow control chamber 43. It is adapted to move relative to the temperature control chamber 42 to change the communication area between its inlet end and the two inlet channels 411. The first control motor 51 is adapted to control the movement of the temperature control valve 53. Temperature control is more accurate and less labor-intensive through motor control.

[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, the two inlet channels 411 extend in parallel directions so that the cold water body 531 and the hot water body 533 of the subsequent temperature control valve 53 can block the inlet channel 411 in the same direction, thereby reducing the complexity of the water circuit.

[0081] The temperature control valve 53 includes an integrally connected cold water body 531 and a hot water body 533. The cold water body 531 is provided with a subcooling hole 5311 suitable for communicating with the inlet channel 411 of subcooled water, and the hot water body 533 is provided with a superheating hole 5331 suitable for communicating with the inlet channel 411 of superheated water. The extension directions of the subcooling hole 5311 and the superheating hole 5331 are not parallel, so as to allow different proportions of hot and cold water to pass through at the same time. The temperature control valve 53 is rotatably connected to the temperature control chamber 42 about an axis perpendicular to the extension direction of the inlet channel 411, so as to change the water passage area of ​​the subcooling hole 5311 and the superheating hole 5331 by blocking the area of ​​the inlet channel 411, thereby realizing temperature control.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, the maximum outer diameter of the cold water body 531 and the hot water body 533 is adapted to fit against the cavity wall of the temperature regulating cavity 42 and to block the water inlet channel 411. There is a gap between the surfaces where the openings at both ends of the superheating hole 5331 and the supercooling hole 5311 are located and the cavity wall of the temperature regulating cavity 42. This structure can not only block the water inlet channel 411, but also increase the angle range between the superheating hole 5331 and the supercooling hole 5311 and the water inlet channel 411, making the temperature regulation smoother.

[0083] In one exemplary embodiment, the temperature control assembly 5 further includes a first transmission wheel 52, which is connected to the temperature control valve 53 to prevent rotation. The output end of the first control motor 51 meshes with the first transmission wheel 52 and is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the temperature control valve 53. This prevents the product from becoming too large along the rotation axis of the temperature control valve 53 when the output end of the first control motor 51 directly drives the temperature control valve 53 to rotate. The diameter of the temperature control part 471 is larger than the diameter of the flow control part 472 to ensure sufficient water flow.

[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, a temperature sensing element 54 is further included. The temperature sensing element 54 is installed upstream of the temperature regulating valve 53, or both upstream and downstream of the temperature regulating valve 53, to monitor the temperature. The first control motor 51 is adapted to drive the temperature regulating valve 53 to move according to the temperature monitored by the temperature sensing element 54, causing the temperature regulating valve 53 to adjust the water temperature to the set temperature. Real-time monitoring can also ensure a constant temperature. When installed simultaneously upstream and downstream of the temperature regulating valve 53, the temperature can be adjusted more precisely.

[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, the flow regulating valve 63 includes a moving valve plate 631 and a stationary valve plate 632. The stationary valve plate 632 is provided with a flow regulating hole 6321. The moving valve plate 631 is adapted to rotate relative to the stationary valve plate 632 to change the flow rate of the flow regulating hole 6321, thereby regulating the flow rate. The structure is simple, and the rotation adjustment will not cause the working stroke to change, and will not increase the product size.

[0086] In one exemplary embodiment, the flow regulating component 6 includes a second transmission wheel 62, which is connected to the movable valve plate 631 to prevent rotation. The output end of the second control motor 61 meshes with the second transmission wheel 62 and is adapted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rotation axis of the valve plate. This prevents the product from being too large along the rotation axis of the movable valve plate 631 when the output end of the second control motor 61 directly drives the movable valve plate 631 to rotate. The flow regulating component 6 is located on the side of the temperature regulating section 471 away from the water inlet pipe 41 and is placed side by side with the water outlet pipe 46 in the length direction 92. The water inlet pipe 41, the temperature regulating section 471, and the flow regulating component 6 are sequentially adjacent, resulting in a compact layout and smaller space occupation.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, the system further includes a Hall element 71, an impeller 72, and a magnet; the pipe 4 is also provided with a flow measuring chamber 44, which connects the water distribution chamber 45 and the flow regulating chamber 43. The magnet is mounted on the impeller 72, which is installed inside the flow measuring chamber 44 and is adapted to rotate when water flows through the flow measuring chamber 44. The Hall element 71 is mounted on the outer wall of the pipe 4 and is located close to the impeller 72 to transmit flow signals. Flow detection is achieved by the on / off state of the Hall element 71 caused by the magnet. The position of the magnet is changed by hydraulic power, which saves electricity. The second control motor 61 is adapted to drive the flow regulating valve 63 to move according to the flow signal, so that the output flow of the flow regulating valve 63 is constant. The function of ensuring constant flow can be achieved through real-time monitoring.

[0088] In one exemplary embodiment, the solenoid valve 8 includes a valve body 81, a moving iron core 82, a biasing element 83, and a diaphragm 84; the valve body 81 is provided with a pressure relief hole 85 and a water passage hole 86, the water passage hole 86 is adapted to connect the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the valve body 81 to allow water to pass through; the diaphragm 84 is adapted to move to open and close the water passage hole 86, and the two ends of the biasing element 83 act on the diaphragm 84 and the valve body 81 respectively, so that the diaphragm 84 blocks the water passage hole 86 and helps the diaphragm 84 to reset; The moving iron core 82 is suitable for opening and closing the pressure relief hole 85. When the pressure relief hole 85 is closed, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the water inlet end of the valve body 81 is higher than the pressure on the side closer to the water inlet end of the valve body 81, so that the water passage hole 86 remains blocked and will not leak. When the pressure relief hole 85 is opened, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 84 away from the water inlet end of the valve body 81 is released by the water outlet end of the valve body 81. At this time, the diaphragm 84 no longer holds its position under pressure, thus unlocking. Under slight water force, the diaphragm 84 can be pushed by water force to open the water passage hole 86. Through this pilot-operated solenoid valve 8, it can be started under low water pressure and can ensure stable sealing and no leakage.
