[0030] In a specific embodiment, first, the mounting plate 110 is fixed on the wall surface to ensure firm installation. Then, the cold water pipe 600300 and the hot water pipe 600400 are passed through the through holes 111 on the mounting plate 110 and connected to the water supply device. Next, components such as the mixing valve 500, the cold water pipe 600300, and the hot water pipe 600400 are installed in the receiving groove 101 of the housing 100, and the joint 170 is connected well. Pay attention to checking whether the connections between various components are tight and reliable to ensure no water leakage. Finally, the panel 200 is installed on the top of the housing 100 to close the opening 102. After the installation is completed, the user can adjust the water temperature by rotating the control knob and use a water outlet device such as a shower head externally connected through the joint 170.

[0031] Specifically, the housing 100 can be made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy to ensure its structural strength and durability. An installation plate 110 is provided on the side of the housing 100, and two adjacent through holes 111 are provided on the installation plate 110. The diameter of the through holes 111 is determined according to the outer diameters of the cold water pipe 600300 and the hot water pipe 600400 to ensure that the pipes can pass through tightly. Inside the housing 100, there is a receiving groove 101 with an opening 102 on the top surface. The size of the receiving groove 101 is designed according to the sizes of the mixing valve 500, the cold water pipe 600300, and the hot water pipe 600400 to ensure that they can be installed smoothly and there is enough operating space. The mixing valve 500 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and is connected to the cold water pipe 600300 and the hot water pipe 600400 through internal pipes to achieve cold and hot water mixing. A control knob is installed on the side wall of the housing 100, and the control knob is connected to the mixing valve 500 through mechanisms such as connecting rods or gears.

Further, the panel 200 is made of transparent glass products, having good light transmittance and aesthetics. The top surface of the panel 200 is flat and fits tightly with the top of the housing 100. While ensuring the sealing performance, users can place items on the panel 200 for convenient use.

[0032] It can be understood that the receiving groove 101 inside the housing 100 enables the key components such as the cold water pipe 600300, the hot water pipe 600400, and the mixing valve 500 to be compactly arranged, simplifying the installation steps and improving the installation efficiency. The panel 200 is detachably connected, facilitating users to perform internal cleaning and maintenance without disassembling the entire water outlet assembly. Moreover, the transparent glass panel 200 makes the appearance of the water outlet assembly more fashionable and beautiful, and can easily blend into various modern home decoration styles. The control knob is set at the side wall position of the housing 100, facilitating users to operate while standing without having to bend down or reach into inconvenient positions.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in addition to the original through holes 111, the housing 100 is also provided with a limiting groove 120. The limiting groove 120 is specifically an arc-shaped groove, and its shape matches the outer side wall of the cold water pipe 600300 or the hot water pipe 600400 to ensure that the pipe can be stably clamped therein. The limiting groove 120 is arranged adjacent to the through hole 111. When the pipe passes through the through hole 111, the naturally bent part of the pipe can just be clamped into the limiting groove 120, thereby realizing the preliminary positioning and fixing of the pipe, effectively preventing the pipe from shaking and displacing during the installation process, and enhancing the overall stability of the water outlet assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, on the inner wall of the housing 100, a plurality of guiding ribs 130 are provided around the limiting groove 120. The side walls of these guiding ribs 130 are in close contact with the side walls of the cold water pipe 600300 or the hot water pipe 600400. When the pipe passes through the through hole 111 and bends towards the mixing valve 500, the guiding ribs 130 play a guiding and supporting role to ensure that the pipe can bend smoothly and be positioned. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in a specific embodiment, a plurality of guiding ribs 130 can be provided to respectively abut against different positions of the cold water pipe 600300 or the hot water pipe 600400, so as to ensure the supporting effect on the bent cold water pipe 600300 or hot water pipe 600400, enabling the cold water pipe 600300 or hot water pipe 600400 to automatically bend and be positioned at the optimal position during the installation process, improving the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , specifically, the circumferential edge of the panel 200 is designed with driving side plates 210. When the panel 200 is hermetically connected to the housing 100, these driving side plates 210 will protrude and cover the edge of the housing 100. When cleaning or maintaining the internal components is required, the user can easily remove the panel 200 by operating the driving side plates 210, facilitating the user's operation.

[0036] Refer to Figure 3 , the thickness of the housing 100 (i.e., the height of the accommodating groove 101) decreases from the mounting plate 110 towards the other side. The control knob is located on the side of the housing 100 close to the mounting plate 110, and the control knob is close to the mounting plate 110 for easy operation, while the water outlet nozzle 140 is located on the other side for convenient use by the user. The overall housing 100 is lighter and more beautiful, conforming to ergonomics and facilitating user use.

[0037] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the panel 200 can be stably and accurately installed on the top of the housing 100 to close the opening 102 of the accommodating groove 101, a plurality of positioning grooves 160 are uniformly arranged circumferentially in the accommodating groove 101 of the housing 100. These positioning grooves 160 are located on the inner edge of the accommodating groove 101, and their shapes and sizes match the positioning posts provided on the panel 200. During installation, the user only needs to align the positioning posts on the panel 200 with the positioning grooves 160 on the housing 100 and gently insert them to achieve the quick connection between the panel 200 and the housing 100. This not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the connection stability and sealing performance.

[0038] Refer to Figure 3, in order to enhance the structural strength of the housing 100 and prevent it from deforming or being damaged due to uneven stress during long-term use, a number of reinforcing ribs 180 are evenly arranged on the groove wall of the accommodating groove 101 of the housing 100. These reinforcing ribs 180 are distributed at a certain angle and spacing, effectively dispersing the stress borne by the housing 100 and improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in order to meet the water outlet requirements of different users, a water outlet nozzle 140 is also provided at the bottom of the housing 100. The water outlet nozzle 140 is connected to the mixing valve 500 through a water pipe 600, and the user can adjust the water outlet temperature and water flow rate by controlling the mixing valve 500. It should be noted that the user can also exchange the two modes of water outlet from the water outlet nozzle 140 and the joint 170 by controlling the mixing valve 500.
