For example, referring to fig. 3, 5 and 7, the water drain path 91 includes a first water drain sub-pipe 911 and a second water drain sub-pipe 912, the third multi-way connection 94 includes a first water inlet 94a, a second water inlet 94b and a water outlet 94c, the first water drain sub-pipe 911 communicates with the cleaning part 1a and the first water inlet 94a, the second end of the third water inlet branch 25 communicates with the second water inlet 94b, the inlet of the water drain 92 communicates with the water outlet 94c, and the second water drain sub-pipe 912 communicates with the outlet of the water drain 92 and the outside, such as the floor drain 1000. A part of the first drain sub-piping 911 is higher than the highest level of the cleaning part 1a, and at least a part of the first drain sub-piping 911 extends upward. In this way, the water in the water storage chamber 93 is sucked by the drain pump 92, so that a negative pressure is formed in the first drain sub-pipe 911, and a siphon effect can be generated between the water storage chamber 93 and the washing part 1a, thereby sucking and discharging the liquid in the washing part 1a to the outside.

When the third multi-way connection 94 is a multi-way joint, the third water inlet branch 25, the inlet of the drain pump 92 and the first drain sub-pipe 911 are kept in a conductive state. When the third multi-way connector 94 is a multi-way valve, the water flow paths of the three structures can be turned on or off according to the requirements. For example, in the drainage state of the drainage assembly 9, the first water inlet 94a, the second water inlet 94b, and the water outlet 94c of the third multi-way connection 94 communicate with each other. In a state where the drain assembly 9 is not operated, the first water inlet 94a, the second water inlet 94b, and the water outlet 94c of the third multi-way connection 94 may be all shut off.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2 to 9, the base includes an overflow water channel 5 communicating with the liquid storage cavity 3, and when the water level of the liquid storage cavity 3 is higher than the set water level, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 3 is discharged to the outside or the cleaning portion 1a through the overflow water channel 5. Therefore, the water level in the liquid storage cavity 3 is conveniently limited below the set water level, and the risks of pipe explosion and the like caused by excessive water quantity and excessive water pressure in the liquid storage cavity 3 are avoided. For example, the water from the overflow waterway 5 may be discharged to the outside such as the floor drain 1000. Thus, the overflowed water is directly discharged to the sewer through the floor drain 1000. For example, the water from the overflow water channel 5 may be discharged to the cleaning portion 1a, so that waste of the water can be avoided.

The outside is the external environment of the base. By way of example, the outside may be a floor drain 1000 external to the base.

The first on-off valve 7 is used to control the flow of water from the reservoir 3. On the one hand, in the state that the first switch valve 7 is closed, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 3 can not flow out, and the lotion and the water in the liquid storage cavity 3 can be mixed first and then discharged integrally, so that the lotion can be diluted better. On the other hand, the ventilation path 6 serves to maintain the air pressure balance in the liquid storage chamber 3. For example, in the case where the first on-off valve 7 is not operated, the liquid storage chamber 3 is communicated with the atmosphere through the air vent path 6, and the water from the main water intake path 21 can still smoothly enter the liquid storage chamber 3.

The first switching valve 7 includes, for example, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve.
