Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to switches for kitchen and bathroom facilities, such as switches for kitchen and bathroom facilities such as drain devices. Background Art

[0002] Kitchen and bathroom switches, such as drain switches, are typically operated by pressing or pulling, with actuators typically consisting of buttons, levers, or pull rods. Actuators are often mounted on countertops; mounting them on the sidewalls of sanitary ware or furniture (such as cabinets) can be inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Refer to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the kitchen and bathroom fixture switch of the present invention is applied to a water discharge device. It includes a push-type switch 100, whose motion control mechanism can provide two stop positions. The switch includes a sliding component 101 and a fixed component 102. The sliding component 101 passes through a through hole in the fixed component and can slide along the through hole in the fixed component 102. The motion control mechanism is disposed between the sliding component 101 and the fixed component 102 to provide the sliding component with the aforementioned two forward and rearward stop positions. The inner end of the sliding component 101 is connected to a connecting wire 103, the other end of which is connected to a connecting rod mechanism in the water discharge device. A spring is also disposed within the switch 100, the spring acting in a direction to drive the sliding component 101 forward (toward the actuator).

[0018] The kitchen and bathroom fixture switch also includes an actuator, which includes a mounting base structure 1 and an actuator component 2. The upper portion 21 of the actuator component 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting base structure 1 (for example, via a rotating connection structure such as a rotating shaft 4), and the lower portion is an actuator portion 22.

[0019] The mounting base structure 1 is provided with a base portion 11 capable of abutting against a wall (such as a washbasin cabinet wall) and a connecting hole 12. The connecting hole 12 allows passage of a sliding component 101 of a kitchen and bathroom fixture corresponding to the actuator 2. The actuator 2 can act on the sliding component 101 to cause movement. The actuator 2 can maintain contact with its corresponding component, i.e., the sliding component 101, by gravity, or be elastically supported by an elastic mechanism such as a torsion spring or compression spring. The rear portion of the connecting hole 12 also has an internal thread 14 for threading the fixing component 102 into the connecting hole 12 via its external thread 104. The actuator also includes a structure for connecting the mounting base structure 1 to the wall. This structure utilizes the internal thread sections of the base portion 11 and the connecting hole to provide a nut 3. The nut 3 can be inserted over the fixing component 102 and threadedly connected to the external thread of the fixing component 102, thereby cooperating with the base portion 11 to secure the actuator to the wall.

[0020] The axis of the connecting through hole 12 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the actuator 2. During installation, the axis of the connecting through hole 12 and the rotation axis of the actuator 2 are generally parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0021] The upper portion 13 of the mounting base structure 1 protrudes toward the front, and the direction toward the front is the direction away from the wall. The upper protruding structure of the mounting base structure 1 can be a protruding structure on the base structure, a curved structure on the base of the base structure 1, or a separately installed component. A portion 15 that is rotatably connected to the actuator is provided at the protruding portion; the mounting base structure 1 is provided with a forward protruding portion 16 at or around the connecting through hole 12. Through this cantilever-like structure, the actuator 2 can have a more comfortable operating angle and movement stroke. The protruding portion 16 can be a sleeve structure with decorative and limiting functions, such as a sleeve structure concentric with the connecting through hole 12, so that the sliding component 101 can extend forward beyond the base structure 11, while being concealed and decorated by the protruding portion 16, and the end of the protruding portion 16 can serve as a rotation stroke limit for the actuator 2.

[0022] In summary, the mounting base structure 1 is a sufficiently strong, force-bearing structure capable of withstanding the impact of external forces transmitted by the rotating connecting member (rotating shaft 4) when operating the actuator 2. The mounting base structure 1, its connecting through-holes 12, base portion 11, and the structure connecting the mounting base structure 1 to the wall can be adapted to various applications through adaptive dimensional adjustments. The mounting base structure 1 can be implemented as a frame or a mounting plate.

[0023] Furthermore, the front end of the sliding component 101 of the switch 100 is tubular 105. A ball 5, whose outer diameter exactly matches the inner diameter of the tube, is positioned within the tube 105. The ball 5 can slide and roll to a certain extent within the tube, guided by the tube wall. The ball 5 is also hollow and has a bayonet 41 provided on the wall. The actuator 2 is provided with a clamping head 23 that movably engages with the hollow ball 5 through the bayonet 41. This not only provides a more reliable connection but also prevents the actuator 2 from shaking, making the actuator operation smoother. The bayonet can be formed by removing the crown from a hollow sphere.

[0024] The actuator of the present invention is preferably used as a foot-operated actuator, mounted directly on the lower portion of a wall (such as a sanitary fixture or washbasin cabinet), with the actuator 2 being a foot-operated rotating component. Alternatively, the actuator can be mounted on an upper portion of a wall, in which case the actuator 2 is manually operated. In short, it is connected to the upper portion of the mounting base 1, which performs the aforementioned functions. This design is not only convenient to operate, but also has a simple appearance and is easy to install. To enhance user comfort, as shown in the figure, the lower portion of the actuator 2 has an actuating portion 22 facing forward (away from the wall) and downward.

[0025] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the field of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
