[0002] The valve body assembly is a crucial component of a bidet. Currently, patent CN220910629U discloses a flow valve and bidet for easy flow control, specifying that: the valve body has a valve body cover on top, a button base on the valve body cover, and buttons on the button base. These buttons include function buttons and a reset button. The function buttons include a self-cleaning button, a posterior wash button, and a feminine wash button, thus enabling multi-functional control of the bidet. The bidet body has a button cover that matches the buttons, allowing users to select the appropriate button according to their needs. A reset linkage plate is provided on the button base, and the button passes through the reset linkage plate and connects to the button base. A V-ring and a function control lever are sequentially provided at the bottom of the function button, and the function control lever passes through the valve body cover and connects to the valve body.
