the socket is disposed with a switch,
the holder is disposed with a first diversion waterway, a second diversion waterway, and a second valve member,
the first valve member is connected to the inlet waterway, the first diversion waterway, and the second diversion waterway,
the first valve member is operatively connected to the switch to enable the first diversion waterway and the second diversion waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the inlet waterway when the switch is triggered,
the first diversion waterway is in communication with the first outlet waterway,
the holder is disposed with a unidirectional waterway,
the unidirectional waterway is disposed with a check valve configured to be open to enable water to flow in a direction from the second diversion waterway to the first outlet waterway,
the second valve member is connected to the second diversion waterway, the unidirectional waterway, and the second outlet waterway,
the second valve member is configured to enable the unidirectional waterway and the second outlet waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the second diversion waterway, and
the unidirectional waterway is in communication with the first outlet waterway.

2. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the holder is movably connected to an operation portion, and
the operation portion is operatively connected to the second valve member to drive the second valve member to move for switching.

3. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first valve member comprises a sliding switch bar configured to slide relative to the holder, and
the sliding switch bar slides to enable the first diversion waterway and the second diversion waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the inlet waterway.

4. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 3 , wherein:
the first valve member comprises a sealing ring fixedly connected to the sliding switch bar,
an inlet of the first diversion waterway and an inlet of the second diversion waterway are arranged face to face and spaced apart from each other,
an outlet of the inlet waterway is disposed between the inlet of the first diversion waterway and the inlet of the second diversion waterway,
the sealing ring is disposed between the inlet of the first diversion waterway and the inlet of the second diversion waterway and is coupled to the inlet of the first diversion waterway and the inlet of the second diversion waterway, and
when the sealing ring closes one of the inlet of the first diversion waterway and the inlet of the second diversion waterway, the other of the inlet of the first diversion waterway and the inlet of the second diversion waterway is in communication with the inlet waterway.

5. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the switch comprises a moving element movably connected to the socket,
the moving element is operatively connected to the first valve member, and
when a handle matter is disposed in the socket or is pulled out of the socket, the moving element moves relative to the socket to trigger the first valve member.

6. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first valve member comprises a sliding switch bar configured to slide relative to the holder,
the sliding switch bar slides to enable the first diversion waterway and the second diversion waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the inlet waterway,
the switch comprises a moving element movably connected to the socket,
the moving element is operatively connected to the sliding switch bar, and
when a handle matter is disposed in the socket or is pulled out of the socket, the moving element moves relative to the socket to control the sliding switch bar to slide.

7. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 5 , wherein:
the moving element is swingably connected to the socket, and
the moving element abuts the first valve member to push the first valve member to slide.

8. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 7 , wherein:
the holder is slidably connected to a push block, and
the push block abuts and is disposed between the first valve member and the moving element.

9. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 5 , wherein:
the socket is disposed with a plugged space,
the moving element moves relative to the socket between a pull-out position and a plug-in position, and
when the moving element is in the pull-out position, at least a portion of the moving element is disposed in the plugged space.

10. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
an elastic element is disposed between the first valve member and the holder,
when a handle matter is disposed in the socket, the elastic element stores energy, and
when the handle matter is pulled out of the socket, the elastic element releases energy to drive the first valve member to reset.

11. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second valve member comprises a rotating switch portion configured to rotate relative to the holder, and
the rotating switch portion rotates to enable the unidirectional waterway and the second outlet waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the second diversion waterway.

12. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 11 , wherein:
an outlet of the second diversion waterway is disposed with an annular chamber,
an inlet of the unidirectional waterway and an inlet of the second outlet waterway are disposed at intervals along a periphery wall of the annular chamber,
the second valve member comprises a sealing pad fixedly disposed on the rotating switch portion,
the sealing pad is configured to couple with the inlet of the unidirectional waterway and the inlet of the second outlet waterway, and
when the sealing pad closes one of the inlet of the unidirectional waterway and the inlet of the second outlet waterway, the other of the inlet of the unidirectional waterway and the inlet of the second outlet waterway is in communication with the annular chamber.

13. The holder device with waterway switching function according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first valve member comprises a sliding switch bar configured to slide relative to the holder,
the sliding switch bar slides to enable the first diversion waterway and the second diversion waterway to be switched to be alternatively in communication with the inlet waterway,
