[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and the structural design, the lifting slide plate can be limited to prevent the lifting slide plate from falling off by itself.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In the utility model, the user slides the lifting slide plate upwards, and then the U-shaped tube cavity is connected with the through hole, and then the handle is opened, and the clean water in the water outlet valve enters the U-shaped tube cavity from the through hole, and then is sprayed out from the top of the U-shaped tube cavity, and the sprayed water is collected by the second water storage tank, and then part of the water will flow into the first water storage tank through the water outlet, and then the handle is closed, and the user carefully cleans the outer surface of the water outlet valve with the water in the first water storage tank and the second water storage tank. After the cleaning is completed, the handle is opened again, and then the above steps are followed to complete the flushing of the entire outer surface of the water outlet valve and the handle, which uses water sparingly and saves resources.
