Abstract

[0003] In traditional toilet bowls, mechanical drainage valves are mostly used to drain the water tank. When drainage is needed, the drainage valve is usually driven to open by manually pressing, thereby realizing drainage. With the improvement of people's quality of life, non-contact drainage valves are gradually applied to intelligent toilet bowls. Due to the lack of manual pressing mechanical drive, the non-contact drainage valve needs an additional pneumatic device to trigger the start of the drainage valve.
[0004] The commonly used pneumatic device on the market is composed of a gas pump, an air bag and a pressure relief valve. When drainage is needed, the gas pump is started to inflate the air bag. After the air bag is inflated, it expands and elongates to drive the driven rod to trigger the drainage valve. However, since the existing pneumatic devices on the market do not have a pressure relief function, in order to realize the pressure relief function of the pneumatic device, the existing pneumatic device usually needs to be equipped with a special pressure relief module and an electromagnetic valve to exhaust the air bag through gas path conversion to realize pressure relief. However, this scheme needs to additionally increase the electromagnetic valve and the pipeline, circuit and other components, which has high cost, complex structure, large space occupation, messy internal wiring, and is very troublesome to assemble and maintain. In addition, part of the existing pneumatic devices are provided with an automatic pressure relief structure which realizes pressure relief by air bag deflation, but has the problem of slow deflation speed.

If there is a description of the first, second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of technical features indicated or the sequence of technical features indicated.
[0039] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, installing, connecting, and the like should be broadly understood, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0040] Reference is made to Figure 1The first embodiment of the present application discloses a pneumatic device, comprising a shell 1, an air inlet cover 2, an inflatable telescopic member 3, a follower 4 and a self pressure relief member 6, the air inlet cover 2 is fixed on the upper part of the shell 1 and is in sealed communication with the inflatable telescopic member 3, the air inlet cover 2 is in communication with an external air pump, and the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be inflated by the external air pump, the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be expanded and elongated in the shell 1 after being inflated, the follower 4 is connected to the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3, and the follower 4 can move along with the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3, and the follower 4 can reach the bottom of the shell 1 after the inflatable telescopic member 3 is fully expanded. In the process that the follower 4 reaches the bottom of the shell 1, the follower 4 can push an external drain valve to gradually open and perform a drainage operation. The inflatable telescopic member 3 is an object that can produce elastic deformation after being inflated, such as a telescopic folding air bag, a telescopic balloon, a telescopic air film and the like, in the embodiment, the inflatable telescopic member 3 is preferably a telescopic folding air bag, and the telescopic folding air bag has a relatively stable elongation movement path and is suitable for use in a stable movement system.
[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the pneumatic device further comprises an opening and closing mechanism 5, the self pressure relief member 6 is connected to the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3, and the self pressure relief member 6 can move along with the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3 when the inflatable telescopic member 3 is inflated, expanded and elongated or deflated, shortened, wherein the self pressure relief member 6 is provided with an exhaust section 61, the opening and closing mechanism 5 can isolate the exhaust section 61 and the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 from each other when the inflatable telescopic member 3 is inflated, expanded and elongated, so that the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be expanded and elongated without loss, and the inflatable telescopic member 3 can drive the self pressure relief member 6 to touch the opening and closing structure after the inflatable telescopic member 3 is fully expanded and elongated, the opening and closing mechanism 5 can make the exhaust section 61 communicate with the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 and make the inflatable telescopic member 3 deflate and contract. After the inflatable telescopic member 3 deflates and contracts, the follower 4 moves upward along with the movable end assembly of the inflatable telescopic member 3, at this time, the opening and closing of the external drain valve will gradually close and finally close, so as to realize the function that the inflatable telescopic member 3 is automatically pressure relieved and water is closed.
[0042] The beneficial effects of the first embodiment of the present application are as follows:
[0043] The pneumatic device of the embodiment of the present application is provided with an air inlet cover 2, an inflation telescopic part 3, a driven part 4, a self-pressure relief part 6 and an opening and closing mechanism 5. The air inlet cover 2 is connected with an external air pump, and the air pump can fill the inflation telescopic part 3 with air. Due to the increase of the internal air pressure, the inflation telescopic part 3 will expand and elongate under the pushing of the air pressure force. In this process, the opening and closing mechanism 5 will control the exhaust section 61 of the self-pressure relief part 6 to be isolated from the inner cavity of the inflation telescopic part 3, so that the air in the inner cavity of the inflation telescopic part 3 will not leak, thereby enabling the inflation telescopic part 3 to expand and elongate normally and without loss. In the elongation process, the force of the air on the bottom of the inflation telescopic part 3 is greater than the opening and closing resistance of the external drain valve, so that the inflation telescopic part 3 can drive the driven part 4 to open the external drain valve, thereby completing the triggering operation of the drain valve. After the inflation telescopic part 3 completely expands and elongates, the self-pressure relief part 6 will touch the opening and closing mechanism 5, the opening and closing mechanism 5 pushes the self-pressure relief part 6, so that the inner cavity of the inflation telescopic part 3 is communicated with the exhaust section 61, and the inflation telescopic part 3 leaks air. Due to the decrease of the internal air pressure, the force of the air pressure on the bottom of the inflation telescopic part 3 gradually decreases and is less than the opening and closing restoring force of the external drain valve or the elastic contraction force of the inflation telescopic part 3 itself, so that the drain valve can gradually reset and close the drain. Therefore, by using the self-pressure relief part 6 and the opening and closing mechanism 5, the automatic pressure relief of the inflation telescopic part 3 can be realized, and the additional electromagnetic valve and other components are saved, which has the advantages of high pressure relief efficiency and low cost.
[0044] Specifically, referring to Figure 12 , in order to ensure that the inflation telescopic part 3 does not leak air and lose air pump energy during expansion and elongation, the bottom of the inflation telescopic part 3 is provided with a receiving platform 31, the receiving platform 31 is provided with a communication hole 311, the self-pressure relief part 6 can vertically slide in the communication hole 311, the self-pressure relief part 6 is also provided with a sealing section 64, the sealing section 64 is located above the exhaust section 61, and in order to achieve better sealing, the sealing section 64 and the communication hole 311 are in interference fit. In this embodiment, a suitable damping is provided between the self-pressure relief part 6 and the communication hole 311, so that the friction between the self-pressure relief part 6 and the communication hole 311 is greater than the weight of the self-pressure relief part 6. In other embodiments, the self-pressure relief part 6 can also have a large weight to facilitate resetting. When the inflation telescopic part 3 expands and elongates, the side wall of the sealing section 64 can tightly adhere to the hole wall of the communication hole 311 and seal the communication hole 311, thereby ensuring the sealing state of the inner cavity of the inflation telescopic part 3 and avoiding the loss of air pump energy. When the inflation telescopic part 3 contracts, the exhaust section 61 can be communicated with the inner cavity of the inflation telescopic part 3 through the communication hole 311, thereby achieving exhaust pressure relief.
[0045] Referring to Figure 4 In the first embodiment of the present application, the exhaust section 61 is specifically provided with a vent groove 611, which is provided with a communication end 6111 and an exhaust end 6112. The communication end 6111 is located at the upper end of the vent groove 611, and the exhaust end 6112 is located at the lower end of the vent groove 611. The communication end 6111 and the exhaust end 6112 are in communication with each other through the groove body of the vent groove 611. When the communication end 6111 passes through the communication hole 311 upward, the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be deflated and contracted through the communication hole 311. When self-venting is performed, the communication end 6111 will pass through the communication hole 311 first to communicate with the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3, and then the gas in the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 will pass from the communication end 6111 to the exhaust end 6112 and be discharged to the outside atmosphere from the exhaust end 6112, thereby forming a venting effect.
[0046] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The present application also discloses a second embodiment, which is different from the first embodiment in that the exhaust section 61 is specifically provided with a venting column 612, which has a surface that is continuous and complete without recesses. The venting column 612 is connected below the sealing section 64. The cross-sectional area of the venting column 612 is smaller than that of the communication hole 311. Therefore, when the venting column 612 is located on the communication hole 311, the cooperation mode of the venting column 612 and the communication hole 311 will change from interference fit to clearance fit. The wall surface of the venting column 612 will form an exhaust gap with the inner wall surface of the communication hole 311, so that the gas in the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 will be discharged from the exhaust gap. Therefore, when the venting column 612 passes through the communication hole 311 upward, the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be deflated and contracted through the communication hole 311. In other embodiments, a combination of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can also be used, that is, the venting column 612 is used for venting at the same time, and the vent groove 611 is added on the venting column 612 to expand the exhaust gap, thereby further improving the efficiency of venting.
[0047] The upper end of the self-pressure relief member 6 is provided with a sealing protrusion 62 which protrudes from the side wall of the sealing section 64. The sealing protrusion 62 can be used to seal the upper part of the communication hole 311. The sealing effect can be further enhanced by the side sealing effect of the sealing section 64. The sealing protrusion 62 can also be used to limit the range of downward movement of the self-pressure relief member 6 relative to the inflatable telescopic member 3. The lower end of the self-pressure relief member 6 is provided with a limiting protrusion 63 which protrudes from the side wall of the self-pressure relief member 6. The limiting protrusion 63 is used to limit the range of upward movement of the self-pressure relief member 6 relative to the inflatable telescopic member 3. The opening and closing mechanism 5 includes a blocking platform 51 which is fixed to the lower part of the shell 1 and is located below the self-pressure relief member 6. When the inflatable telescopic member 3 is expanded and elongated, the self-pressure relief member 6 is driven to move downward. The self-pressure relief member 6 can move upward relative to the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3 and make the exhaust section 61 pass through the communication hole. Specifically, when the blocking platform 51 can abut against the bottom of the limiting protrusion 63, the inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to move downward. Under the action of the blocking platform 51, the self-pressure relief member 6 moves upward relative to the inflatable telescopic member 3. The gas discharge groove 611 or the gas discharge column 612 also moves upward relative to the inflatable telescopic member 3. Finally, the gas discharge groove 611 or the gas discharge column 612 is in communication with the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3. The gas in the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 is discharged.
[0048] In other embodiments, the self-pressure relief member 6 can have a large self-weight. When the inflatable telescopic member 3 is deflated and contracted, the self-pressure relief member 6 can return to the receiving platform 31 by using the self-weight to seal the communication hole 311. In the present embodiment, in order to make the self-pressure relief member 6 move upward and return to the initial position, the opening and closing mechanism 5 further includes a resetting platform 52 which is fixed to the air inlet cover 2 and is located above the self-pressure relief member 6. When the inflatable telescopic member 3 is deflated, the inflatable telescopic member 3 is contracted and drives the self-pressure relief member 6 to move upward. When the self-pressure relief member 6 reaches a certain position, the self-pressure relief member 6 can abut against the top of the sealing protrusion 62. At this time, the inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to contract. Under the action of the resetting platform 52, the self-pressure relief member 6 moves downward relative to the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3. When the self-pressure relief member 6 reaches the limit position, the side wall of the sealing section 64 first abuts against the hole wall of the communication hole 311 to restore the sealing of the communication hole 311. Then, the sealing protrusion 62 abuts against the receiving platform 31 to further enhance the sealing. The communication hole 311 is in a state of restored sealing. Thus, the resetting is completed.
[0049] The length of the exhaust section 61 is greater than the vertical thickness of the receiving platform 31, so that when the self-pressure relief member 6 moves upward relative to the gas-filled telescopic member 3, the upper end of the communication end 6111 or the exhaust column 612 can enter the inner cavity of the gas-filled telescopic member 3, and due to the length of the exhaust section 61, i.e., the groove length of the exhaust groove 611 or the length of the exhaust column 612 is greater than the vertical thickness of the receiving platform 31, the lower end of the gas outlet end 6112 or the exhaust column 612 can be kept below the receiving platform 31, so that the gas in the inner cavity of the gas-filled telescopic member 3 can pass through the receiving platform 31 and be discharged from the gas outlet end 6112 through the gap between the exhaust groove 611 or the exhaust column 612 and the communication hole 311.
[0050] The length of the sealing section 64 is greater than the vertical thickness of the receiving platform 31, so that when the side wall of the sealing section 64 abuts against the hole wall of the communication hole 311, the lower end of the communication end 6111 or the exhaust column 612 can be located below the receiving platform 31, so that the communication hole 311 does not communicate with the communication end 6111 or produce an exhaust gap with the exhaust column 612, which can further ensure that the gas-filled telescopic member 3 does not leak gas when it is expanded and elongated.
[0051] In addition, the present application can achieve the effect of delay water closing and accurate control that can be achieved by the ordinary electromagnetic valve when the said inflatable telescopic member 3 is depressurized. By reasonably setting the length of the said sealing section 64, the effect of relatively fixed delay water closing and accurate control can be achieved. When the external drain valve is opened, the said sealing section 64 is still in a sealed state with the said communication hole 311, and the said sealing block 62 is still on the said receiving platform 31. In the process of the said inflatable telescopic member 3 continuing to expand and elongate, the external drain valve will gradually open, and reach the maximum opening when the said limiting block 63 touches the said gear platform 51. In this process, the said sealing section 64 is always in a sealed state with the said communication hole 311. Then the said self-depressurizing member 6 moves upward relative to the said receiving platform 31, but because there is a certain vertical distance between the said communication end 6111 or the upper end of the said air release column 612 and the said sealing block 62, the said communication hole 311 will not immediately communicate with the inner cavity of the said inflatable telescopic member 3. The external drain valve will always maintain the maximum valve degree before the said communication end 6111 or the upper end of the said air release column 612 moves above the said receiving platform 31. Only after the said communication end 6111 or the upper end of the said air release column 612 moves above the said receiving platform 31, the said communication end 6111 or the upper end of the said air release column 612 will communicate with the inner cavity of the said inflatable telescopic member 3, so that the said inflatable telescopic member 3 shrinks, and the external drain valve begins to gradually close until it is completely closed. By reasonably setting the distance between the said communication end 6111 and the said sealing block 62, i.e. the length of the said sealing section 64, and setting the friction between the said self-depressurizing member 6 and the said communication hole 311, the effect of delay water closing and accurate control that can be achieved by the ordinary electromagnetic valve when the said inflatable telescopic member 3 is depressurized can be achieved. Therefore, by the above setting, the electromagnetic valve and related pipelines can be replaced by a very simple structure to achieve the function of depressurization, and the effect of delay water closing and accurate control of the electromagnetic valve can also be achieved.
[0052] In order to be able to drive the external drain valve, the said driven member 4 includes a connecting cover 41 and a top cylinder 42. The connecting cover 41 is fixed below the said receiving platform 31, so that the said driven member 4 can move with the said inflatable telescopic member 3. The top cylinder 42 is fixed below the connecting cover 41, and the inner cavity of the top cylinder 42 communicates with the external atmosphere. When the said inflatable telescopic member 3 inflates and expands, the said inflatable telescopic member 3 will push the top cylinder 42 to move downward, and the bottom of the top cylinder 42 will touch the switch of the external drain valve to open the drain valve. When the said inflatable telescopic member 3 deflates, the gas in the inner cavity of the said inflatable telescopic member 3 will enter the inner cavity of the top cylinder 42 from the said air release section 61, and be discharged from the inner cavity of the top cylinder 42 to the external atmosphere.
[0053] In order to limit the movement direction of the follower 4, the shell 1 further comprises a guide hole 11 arranged at the bottom of the shell 1, the top cylinder 42 can be inserted into the guide hole 11 to move up and down, so as to ensure that the inflatable telescopic member 3 and the follower 4 can be aligned with the opening and closing of the external drain valve, and also ensure that the movable surface can be correctly stressed to realize normal folding recess and recovery.
[0054] The working principle and working process of the present application are as follows:
[0055] Referring to Figure 5 In the initial state, the top of the sealing block 62 abuts against the reset table 52, the side wall of the sealing section 64 abuts against the hole wall of the communication hole 311 to form a seal, and the lower surface of the sealing block 62 abuts against the receiving platform 31 to further seal the communication hole 311, at the same time, the exhaust section 61 is located below the receiving platform 31, and the exhaust section 61 is isolated from the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3. Figure 6 When drainage is needed, the external air pump starts to inflate the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 through the air inlet cover 2, the air pressure is greater than the reset force of the external drain valve and / or the elastic recovery force of the inflatable telescopic member 3, the inflatable telescopic member 3 starts to expand and elongate and drives the follower 4 to move downward, after elongating to a certain length, the follower 4 touches the switch of the external drain valve and overcomes the switch resistance to open the drain valve, thereby realizing drainage. Figure 7 The inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to expand and elongate, the limit block 63 at the bottom of the self-pressure relief member 6 located at the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3 abuts against the stop table 51, thereafter the inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to elongate and drives the self-pressure relief member 6 to continue to move downward, but due to the stop effect of the stop table 51, the self-pressure relief member 6 is stationary relative to the stop table 51, but as the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to move downward, the receiving platform 31 gradually moves downward, at this time, the external drain valve is still in the open state, from the time when the receiving platform 31 moves away from the sealing block 62 to the time when the receiving platform 31 is located above the communication end 6111 or above the upper end of the exhaust column 612, it is the delay time from opening to closing, once the receiving platform 31 moves down to below the communication end 6111 or below the upper end of the exhaust column 612, the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3 is communicated with the exhaust groove 611 or the exhaust column 612 through the exhaust section 61 passing through the communication hole 311, the air in the inflatable telescopic member 3 is discharged to the outside atmosphere through the exhaust section 61, thereby realizing self-pressure relief without the action of other driving members such as electromagnetic valves, the structure is simple, and accurate control of delay closing can be realized, and the operation is relatively reliable.
[0056] Referring to Figure 8After pressure relief, due to the gradual weakening of the air pressure force inside the inflatable telescopic member 3, the restoring force of the external drain valve and / or the elastic restoring force of the inflatable telescopic member 3 gradually become greater than the air pressure force, the inflatable telescopic member 3 will shrink and drive the driven member 4 and the self-pressure relief member 6 to move upwards, in the process of moving upwards, the drain valve switch will gradually close to achieve automatic water stop, after moving upwards to a certain height, the side wall of the sealing section 64 abuts against the hole wall of the communication hole 311 to form a seal first, the top of the sealing block 62 also abuts against the reset platform 52, and since the inflatable telescopic member 3 continues to shrink and move upwards, the receiving platform 31 gradually approaches the sealing block 62 and finally abuts against the sealing block 62, thereby achieving reset.
[0057] Referring to Figure 11 The application also discloses a third embodiment, which is based on the first embodiment or the second embodiment and adds a reset structure, specifically, the pneumatic device further comprises a reset spring 7, which is arranged between the top of the driven member 4 and the bottom of the shell 1, and the reset spring 7 can make the driven member 4 have a tendency to move towards the reset platform 52. When the inflatable telescopic member 3 is deflated and shrinks, the reset spring 7 can reset the inflatable telescopic member 3 and the self-pressure relief member 6 in cooperation with the restoring force of the external drain valve switch, has a faster recovery speed and is more efficient.
[0058] The application uses the movable self-pressure relief member 6 and the simple opening and closing mechanism 5, utilizes the elongation and shortening characteristics of the inflatable telescopic member 3 itself, and can realize the self-pressure relief function of the inflatable telescopic member 3, and by setting the ratio of the length of the sealing section 64 and the vertical thickness of the receiving platform 31, the accurate control and delayed water stop effect during electromagnetic valve pressure relief can be realized, the application saves complex components, pipelines and circuit systems, and also achieves the beneficial effects of a complex system, and therefore has the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation and simple structure.
[0059] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a gas control exhaust valve and a water tank (not shown in the figure), both of which comprise the pneumatic device as described above, which is provided with the inflatable telescopic member 3, the driven member 4, the self-pressure relief member 6 and the opening and closing mechanism 5, the opening and closing of the drain valve in the gas control water tank can be realized by driving the driven member 4 to open the switch of the drain valve in the gas control water tank through inflating the inflatable telescopic member 3, thereby realizing drainage, and the gear position table 51 in the opening and closing mechanism 5 is used to block the self-pressure relief member 6 during the movement of the self-pressure relief member 6 following the movable end of the inflatable telescopic member 3, so that the self-pressure relief member 6 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3, the exhaust section 61 in the self-pressure relief member 6 is communicated with the inner cavity of the inflatable telescopic member 3, thereby realizing the automatic pressure relief of the inflatable telescopic member 3. Without using additional electromagnetic valves, pipelines and circuits, the self-pressure relief function of the inflatable telescopic member 3 can be realized by setting the simple self-pressure relief member 6 and the opening and closing mechanism 5, so that the present application has the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation and cost saving.
