Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom products, specifically to a shower faucet. Background Technology

[0002] After installation, the length of the main body of an existing shower faucet relative to the wall is greater in the left-right direction than in the front-back direction, and the front-back thickness is much greater than the vertical height. This creates a shelf surface on the shower faucet for placing items (as in patent CN202420554426.0). When controlling the water flow, the control knob often swings up and down like a piano. This is because the valve stem of the switching valve core is constrained by the swinging motion, hence the industry term "piano keys." This also makes the control method of such shower faucets too simple and outdated. Furthermore, the front-back dimension of the main body corresponding to the part where the switching valve core is installed is difficult to reduce due to the length of the switching valve core.
