The temperature regulating valve is installed on the wall below the main body. Cold water and hot water flow upward from inside the wall to the inlet pipe after being regulated by the temperature regulating valve.

[0039] More specifically, this utility model is a multi-dimensional shower system with multiple water outlet devices distributed in different locations. A switching knob is located at the lower end of the inlet pipe and can control the switching spindle to connect the inlet channel with different water outlet devices. The knob controls the spindle's water outlet to rotate to connect with the first water outlet, causing water to flow from the shower head; the inlets of other water outlet devices are sealed. The knob controls the spindle's water outlet to rotate to coincide with the second water outlet, causing water to flow from the side spray; the inlets of other water outlet devices are sealed. The knob controls the spindle's water outlet to rotate to coincide with the third water outlet, causing water to flow from the shower head; the inlets of other water outlet devices are sealed. Simultaneously, when the knob controls the spindle's water outlet to rotate to coincide with both the first and second water outlets, the shower head and side spray simultaneously flow water, i.e., a mixed water mode; the inlets of other water outlet devices are sealed. Other combinations are also possible. Meanwhile, the angle of the water outlets of each water outlet device can also be adjusted within an adjustable range, increasing the shower coverage area of ​​the entire shower system.
