Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a drain plug linkage device, and in particular to a quick release drain plug linkage device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a vessel such as a bath, a basin or a sink, it is necessary to install a drain, also known as a drain device, to achieve water storage or drainage in the vessel. Such a drain device is usually in the form of a drain plug linkage device. For example, in an existing drain device, a vessel is connected to a drain pipe through a flow outlet, and a drain plug is provided near the flow outlet, the drain plug being connected to one end of an operating rod such as a lever member, and the other end of the lever member being connected to a downwardly extending pull rod member, so that the drain plug can be moved between positions of closing and opening the flow outlet by operating the pull rod member, and water storage or drainage of the vessel such as a bath, a basin or a sink is achieved.

[0003] Referring to Chinese patent document CN103967082B, it discloses a drain plug linkage device, comprising: a drain plug; a pull rod assembly comprising a pull rod and a connecting rod which are operably connected to each other; a lever member; and an engagement mechanism. One of the connecting rod and the lever member has a plurality of through holes and the engagement mechanism is slidably installed therein, and the other of the connecting rod and the lever member is configured to be able to pass through one of the through holes and has a plurality of axially spaced circumferential ridges and a plurality of grooves defined between the circumferential ridges, and the engagement mechanism is configured to prevent the other of the connecting rod and the lever member from moving axially relative to the through hole when sliding into a position engaging the grooves. However, the patent still has the following technical problems: firstly, assuming that the plurality of through holes are provided on the connecting rod, the lever member passes through any one of the plurality of through holes, when the height of the lever member needs to be adjusted, the engagement mechanism needs to be first slid upward, then the lever member is taken out of a certain through hole, and then the lever member is inserted into another through hole, and finally the engagement mechanism is slid downward to lock the lever member, if the height is still not suitable, then the above steps are operated again, the height adjustment process is complicated, inconvenient and not fast; assuming that the plurality of through holes are provided on the lever member, the connecting rod passes through any one of the plurality of through holes, when the transverse position of the connecting rod on the lever member needs to be adjusted, the adjustment mode is similar to the above adjustment mode, and the transverse position adjustment process is also complicated, inconvenient and not fast; secondly, the drain plug linkage device needs to frequently operate the pull rod assembly, drive the connecting rod to rise or fall through the pull rod, drive the lever member to swing up and down through the connecting rod, and finally drive the drain plug to rise or fall through the lever member, to realize the water storage or drainage of the container. Since the engagement mechanism is slidably installed on the connecting rod or the lever member, and the lever member will exert a certain thrust on the engagement mechanism during swinging, the engagement mechanism is easily loosened after long-term or multiple swinging, the grooves between the engagement mechanism and the circumferential ridges are loosened, and the connection stability of the connecting rod or the lever member and the engagement mechanism is not good.

[0004] Referring to Chinese patent document CN110984311A, a drain plug linkage device is disclosed, including: a pull rod assembly, an operating rod, a drain plug, and a drain pipe. The drain plug is housed at the upper end of the drain pipe. The pull rod assembly is linked to the operating rod, and the operating rod is linked to move the drain plug up and down. The pull rod assembly includes a pull rod and a connecting sleeve. The pull rod and the connecting sleeve are linked. The operating rod has multiple recessed parts at intervals, and the connecting sleeve has multiple positioning parts with openings at intervals. One of the locking parts of the operating rod selectively passes through one of the openings and locks into the corresponding positioning part. Although this patent does not require the pull rod assembly or operating rod to be completely withdrawn when adjusting the position of the pull rod assembly and the operating rod, it requires the positioning part of the connecting sleeve to engage with the locking part of the operating rod. Since the drain plug linkage device requires frequent operation of the pull rod assembly, which drives the operating rod to swing up and down, the connection between the operating rod and the pull rod assembly is prone to loosening after long-term or repeated swinging, resulting in insufficient stability of the connection between the operating rod and the pull rod assembly. Summary of the Invention
