That is, the mechanisms corresponding to the switching and control functions are integrated into the reuse box. Opening the temperature control or switching valve and switching the water circuit can be completed simply by controlling the valve, making it simpler, more convenient, and saving manufacturing costs.

[0027] Optional, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3This is an exploded view of a shower system water circuit device provided in an embodiment of this application.

The first handle 303a is located outside the reuse box 200 and connected to the first rack 303b, so that it drives the first gear 303c to rotate during the movement of the first rack 303b. In this way, the valve stem of the control valve core 302 is ultimately driven, realizing the control of the water flow by the control valve core 302.

[0031] In this application, as Figure 4 As shown, the switching valve assembly 400 may include: a switching valve seat 401, a switching valve core 402, and a second drive unit 403.

In this way, the second drive unit 403 drives the movement of the switching valve core 402 relative to the switching valve seat 401 to realize the flow of water from different fluid outlets.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second drive unit 403 includes a second handle 403a, a second rack 403b, and a second gear 403c. The second gear 403c is connected to the valve stem of the switching valve core 402, and the second rack 403b engages with the second gear 403c. The second handle 403a is located outside the reuse box 200 and connected to the second rack 403b, so that it drives the second gear 403c to rotate during the movement of the second rack 403b. In this way, the valve stem of the switching valve core 402 is ultimately driven, realizing the control of water flow by the switching valve core 402.
