Abstract
An automatic faucet includes a faucet body, an inner tube, a faucet nozzle, a sensor, and a waterway control unit. The waterway control unit is fitted in the faucet body. The waterway control unit includes a mixed water valve core for delivering water to the inner tube, a solenoid valve for controlling water flowing out from the inner tube, and an integrated valve seat for accommodating the mixed water valve core and the solenoid valve. The sensor is electrically connected to the solenoid valve. The structure and the assembly process of the faucet are simplified.
