[0026] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiments, the positioning element is threadedly connected to the mounting hole, which is simple and convenient.
[0027] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, a knob, an O-ring, and a retaining ring are further included.

The positioning surface is adapted to abut against the outer surface of the wall and to fit the anti-rotation groove onto the operating end of the rotary valve. Since the positioning surface of the plate is used as the installation reference, the knob is installed on the plate. After installation, the distance by which the knob protrudes from the plate is determined and is not affected by the depth of the embedded box in the wall, ensuring aesthetics.
[0034] 9. In Scheme 9 and its preferred embodiments, the plate body is provided with a third hole, and the water outlet component includes a connecting component, a water outlet nozzle, and a fastener.

[0073] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, a panel assembly 10 includes a panel 1, buttons 2, and positioning elements 3.
[0075] The plate 1 is provided with a first hole 11, a mounting hole 14 and a first mating part 15. The mounting hole 14 is directly opposite to the first mating part 15 and communicates with the first hole 11.
[0076] Button 2 is adapted to slide relative to plate 1 along a first direction, and its two ends are respectively provided with a first mounting part 22 and a second mounting part 23, which is adapted to be inserted into the first hole 11 so that the first mounting part 22 slides with the first mating part 15; and
[0077] The positioning member 3 is provided with a second mating part 31, which is adapted to mate with the mounting hole 14 to be mounted on the plate 1, and is adapted to allow the second mating part 31 to slide with the second mounting part 23; one of the first mating part 15 and the first mounting part 22 is a fixed shaft, and the other is a sliding hole extending along the first direction; one of the second mating part 31 and the second mounting part 23 is a fixed shaft, and the other is a sliding hole extending along the first direction, thereby completing the assembly of the button 2, so that the button 2 can be installed together with the plate 1 in the future; and, through the above sliding engagement, the button 2 can slide stably and has a certain limit.
[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, the positioning element 3 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 14, which is simple and convenient.
[0079] In one exemplary embodiment, the device further includes a knob 4, an O-ring 5, and a retaining ring 6. The plate 1 has a second hole 12 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the plate 1. The knob 4 has an annular groove 42. The knob 4 is adapted to pass through the second hole 12 and to abut against the outer surface of the plate 1, so that the knob 4 cannot move inward. The retaining ring 6 is sleeved on the knob 4 and adapted to abut against the inner surface of the plate 1. The O-ring 5 is elastic. The O-ring 5 is placed in the annular groove 42, and its two ends along the first direction abut against the groove wall of the annular groove 42 and the side of the retaining ring 6 away from the inner surface of the plate 1, respectively. The position of the retaining ring 6 is defined by the O-ring 5. Since the O-ring 5 is mounted on the knob 4, when the knob 4 is to be moved outward, the O-ring 5 pushes the retaining ring 6 outward. Since the retaining ring 6 cannot move outward, the knob 4 also cannot move outward. The O-ring 5 is elastic, which on the one hand makes up for the lack of manufacturing tolerance, and on the other hand, the elastic force allows the retaining ring 6 to abut against the inner surface of the plate 1 and the knob 4 to abut against the outer surface of the plate 1.
[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, since the O-ring 5 is elastic, if the user applies a large outward pulling force to the knob 4, the O-ring 5 may disengage from the slot 43. Therefore, the knob 4 is also provided with a slot 43, and the retaining ring 7 is installed in the slot 43 and located on the side of the O-ring 5 away from the fixing ring 6 to prevent the O-ring 5 from disengaging, thereby ensuring the stable assembly of the knob 4.
[0081] In one exemplary embodiment, a water circuit assembly includes a water circuit body 20, a press valve 30, and the aforementioned panel assembly 10. The press valve 30 is mounted on the water circuit body 20 to control the water circuit of the water circuit body 20. The button 2 is adapted to trigger the operating end of the press valve 30 to control the action of the press valve 30, thereby realizing the control of the water circuit. It has the beneficial effects brought by the aforementioned panel assembly 10.
[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, since the water circuit body 20 is installed on the pre-embedded box 50 and then the pre-embedded box 50 is installed in the wall, the depth of the pre-embedded box 50 buried in the wall will affect the position of the water circuit body 20 and the press valve 30 on the water circuit body 20. If the button 2 is directly assembled with the press valve 30 without a reference, the position of the press valve 30 will affect the protrusion position of the button 2. When there are multiple buttons 2, the protrusion positions of each button 2 may be different, which affects the aesthetics.
[0083] The main water system 20 is installed in a pre-embedded box 50, which is embedded in the wall, thus achieving concealed installation for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The mounting groove 21 is adapted to fit over the operating end of the press valve 30 so that the button 2 controls the operation of the press valve 30. The button 2 has a mounting groove 21 extending along a first direction to adaptively adjust the fitting distance along that direction. The plate 1 has a positioning surface 16, which is adapted to abut against the outer surface of the wall, allowing the mounting groove 21 to fit over the operating end of the press valve 30. Using the positioning surface 16 of the plate 1 as the installation reference, the distance by which the button 2 protrudes from the front surface of the plate 1 is determined, unaffected by the wall embedment depth of the pre-embedded box 50, ensuring a neat appearance.
[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, the water outlet 60 is adapted to communicate with the water outlet end of the water circuit body 20, and the water outlet 60 is adapted to abut against the front surface of the plate 1. The position of the water outlet 60 relative to the front surface of the plate 1 is determined. Since the positioning surface 16 of the plate 1 is used as the installation reference, the distance by which the water outlet 60 protrudes from the plate 1 is determined, and it is not affected by the wall embedment depth of the pre-embedded box 50, thus ensuring aesthetics.
[0085] In one exemplary embodiment, a rotary valve 40 is mounted on a water circuit body 20 to control the water circuit of the water circuit body 20. A knob 4 is adapted to trigger the operating end of the rotary valve 40 to control the operation of the rotary valve 40. An anti-rotation groove 41 is adapted to be fitted onto the operating end of the rotary valve 40 to achieve an anti-rotation fit, so that the knob 4 controls the operation of the rotary valve 40. The knob 4 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 41 extending along a first direction to adaptively adjust the fitting distance along the first direction. The positioning surface 16 is adapted to abut against the outer surface of the wall and to fit the anti-rotation groove 41 onto the operating end of the rotary valve 40. Since the positioning surface 16 of the plate 1 is used as the installation reference, the knob 4 is installed on the plate 1. After installation, the distance by which the knob 4 protrudes from the plate 1 is determined and is not affected by the wall embedment depth of the pre-embedded box 50, ensuring aesthetics.
[0086] In one exemplary embodiment, the plate 1 is provided with a third hole 13, and the water outlet component 60 includes a connecting component 601, a water outlet 602, and a fastener. The connecting component 601 is provided with a limiting surface 6011. After passing through the third hole 13, the connecting component 601 is screwed to the water outlet end of the water circuit body 20 and is adapted to make the limiting surface 6011 abut against the front surface of the plate 1. The connecting component 601 is provided with a water outlet channel connecting the water circuit body 20. The water outlet 602 is sleeved on the connecting component 601 and abuts against the front surface of the plate 1. The water outlet 602 is provided with a water outlet communicating with the water outlet channel. The fastener fixes the connecting component 601 and the water outlet 602 to complete the fixation of the two.
[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, a water outlet device includes at least two water circuit components. Since each water circuit component is assembled with the positioning surface 16 of the plate 1 as the installation reference, the protrusion distance between each water circuit component, or between each button 2, each knob 4, and each water outlet component 60 in each water circuit component, is the same and is not affected by the wall embedment depth of the pre-embedded box 50, thus ensuring aesthetics.
