[0050] 5. Easy to maintain:

[0051] Since no external power supply is required, the complexity of maintenance is reduced and the maintenance cost is lowered.

[0052] Therefore, this faucet not only provides an environmental protection solution for water and electricity conservation, but also improves the user experience and realizes the design concepts of intelligence and humanization.

[0053] Preferably, a valve core 130 is provided inside the faucet body 100, and the micro hydropower generation module 110 is arranged inside the valve core 130. Among them, the micro hydropower generation module 110 includes:
