BACKGROUND

A faucet, commonly known as a water valve, is a switch configured to control a size of water flow, and has a function of saving water. Upgrading of the faucet is very fast, from an old cast iron process to an electroplating knob type faucet, and then to a stainless steel single-temperature single-control faucet, a stainless steel double-temperature double-control faucet, and a kitchen semi-automatic faucet. At present, an induction type pulling faucet in a faucet industry is not connected to an elbow tube portion and a front end of a pulling tube of a faucet by using an infrared sensor on a main body. Through a change in a magnetic field between moving distances of the elbow tube portion and the pulling tube, dual-use induction and control of a manner of a water path switch is realized on the same pulling faucet. A practitioner hopes to achieve this control mode. Further, for the pulling faucet in the prior art, a shower head is pulled and pressed at an elbow tube port via a heavy vertical block on the pulling tube. To achieve induction and water discharge by a magnetic field, a strong magnet and a sensor need to be mounted cooperatively. However, if the strong magnet is mounted in a middle of the pulling tube, because of strong pulling of the heavy vertical block, the pulling tube passively becomes longer, or because of thermal expansion and cold shrinkage caused by temperature change, if a change in a relative position between the strong magnet and the sensor is more than a moving distance of the sensor, an erroneous action is caused.
