These are simple substantiations of this embodiment that they are not be further described.

Referring to FIGS. 8-12, the control panel 2 comprises a knob, the top surface of the knob is disposed with an inner ring 21 and an outer ring 23; the outer ring 23 is disposed with outlet buttons 231 corresponding to the first outlet 17 and the second outlet 18; when the knob starts up and the outlet button 231 is touched, the circuit of the controller 1 sends a signal to the electromagnetic valve 19 to control the first outlet 17 or the second outlet 18 to open;

The inner ring 21 is disposed with a LCD component 22 with a temperature displaying area 221, a volume displaying area 222, a temperature adjusting mode icon 223, a volume adjusting mode icon 224 and a lock mode icon 225;

When the knob is long pressed, the control panel 2 is open, the inner ring 21 lights up; the temperature displaying area 221, the volume displaying area 222 of the displayer screen respectively displays the temperature and volume at the last time's use, and the lock mode icon 225 is selected; at this time, when one outlet button 231 of the outer ring 23 is touched, the outlet button 231 lights up, the top spraying shower head or the hand shower head corresponding to the outlet button 231 discharges water out according to the temperature and volume at the last time's use; in this embodiment, the temperature at the last time is 40°, the volume is the max volume.

When the knob is pressed, the control panel 2 enters lock mode, the temperature adjusting mode icon 223 and the volume adjusting mode icon 224 go out, the lock mode icon 225 keeps illuminating; the outlet temperature and outlet volume change to preset values in the lock mode; at this time, when the knob is rotates, the outlet temperature and the outlet volume do not change; in this embodiment the outlet temperature in lock mode is 38°, the outlet volume is two seconds of the max volume.

In the lock mode, when the knob is rotated, if the temperature adjusting icon 223 or the volume adjusting mode icon 224 is selected and the knob is pressed again, the control panel 2 enters temperature adjusting mode or volume adjusting mode; when the control panel 2 enters temperature adjusting mode, the volume displaying area 222 lights off; when the control panel 2 enters volume adjusting mode, the temperature displaying area 221 lights off; in the temperature adjusting mode or the volume adjusting mode, when the knob is rotated, the displaying content of the temperature displaying area or the volume displaying area changes; when the knob is pressed again, the displaying content of the temperature displaying area 221 or the volume displaying area 222 produces electrical signal to send to the first stepped motor 15 or the second stepped motor 162 to control the rotating area of the first or second stepped motor so as to change the temperature or the volume;

When the temperature or the volume adjusting is finished, if the knob is pressed again, the control panel 2 exits the temperature adjusting mode or the volume adjusting mode.

As can be seen from above, user can operate the control panel 2 to adjust the temperature and volume. The process is visual, simple and direct, logically clear. At the same time, the controller and the control panel are separated, the controller 1 thus can be concealed, only the control panel 2 is left on the wall, providing simple, elegant and attractive appearance.

The control panel 2 has the volume display area 222 off when in temperature adjusting mode and vice verse. So in two adjusting modes, the display of the control panel 2 varies widely, user can directly catch whether in temperature adjusting mode or in volume adjusting mode.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the displaying content of the temperature display area 221 is digital to display target outlet temperature. The volume display area 222 is an arc shaped volume meter disposed at the outer side of the temperature display area 221; in the volume adjusting mode, if the knob is rotated, the lighting area of the volume meter changes to be longer or shorter, the outlet volume is correspondingly increased or decreased. The temperature display area 221 applies digital display, the volume display area 222 applies scale display, widening the variety of the two display areas.

The lock mode icon 225 being locked means that the external periphery of the lock mode icon 225 displays a lighting ring; the temperature or volume adjusting mode icon being selected means that the ring at the external periphery of the lock mode lights off, and the external periphery of the temperature or volume adjusting mode icon displays a lighting ring.

In this embodiment, the display screen is further disposed with a timer display area 226, when the control panel 2 starts up, the timer display area 226 starts the timer to record shower duration.

Flowing holes 135 are respectively formed between the upper end and the lower end of the moving element and the upper surface and lower surface of the opening end.

when cool water and hot water flow to the two chambers 131, the cool water and hot water in the chambers 131 respectively act a pressure force to the moving element 133 in opposite directions; if the two pressure forces are not equal, the moving element 133 moves to the chamber 131 in a lowerpressure; then the flowing hole of the chamber 131 in a higher pressure is reduced and the flowing hole of the chamber 131 in a lower pressure is enlarged, thus balancing the two chambers 131.

Therefore, if there is no hot water flowing to the hot water inlet 12, the moving element 133 moves to the chamber 131 towards the cool water inlet 11 until it plugs the flowing hole of this chamber 131 and vice verse. So if the hot water inlet 12 or the cool water inlet 11 is invalid, the pressure balancing valve 13 has no water flowing to the temperature control valve 14, avoiding pure cool water pure hot water flowing out and injuring the user.
