In response to this situation, the present application provides a control valve 106 that provides good control of water flow under the control of the drive 1064 of the control valve 106.

Referring to fig. 9-11, the control valve 106 includes a valve pipe 1061, a valve core 1062, and a driving member 1064, wherein the valve pipe 1061 is a three-way pipe, the valve core 1062 is a ceramic valve core, and the specific structure is a commercially available ceramic valve core; the valve core 1062 is connected to a power output end of a driving element 1064, and the driving element 1064 may be a commercially available servo motor.

Therefore, under the condition that the servo motor is electrically connected with a main controller module in the control system, the servo motor can be controlled through the main controller module, so that the servo motor can control the valve 106 core, and further control water flow.

It is anticipated that in the design of the shower system of the related art, the water intake of the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe is controlled by the electromagnetic valve, then the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe are all communicated with the mixing valve, the mixing valve adjusts the proportion of the muddy water of the cold water and the hot water, and then the muddy water is sprayed out from the terminal shower nozzle 105 or the shower head; in this way, when the water temperature is adjusted in this way, it is necessary to set the water mixing valve at a position.
