[0050] In view of the problem that the drain valve in the related art has insufficient flushing force when applied to a toilet, the present application communicates an external water flow channel with a toilet flushing flow channel, so that the flushed water is jointly acted on by gravity and the pressure of the external water source, thereby improving the water pressure and flow rate of the water discharged by the drain valve and improving the flushing effect when the drain valve is applied to the toilet.
[0051] The drain valve and toilet according to the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a drain valve 100 includes a base 200, a valve body 300, a driven assembly 400, and a first valve plate 500. The valve body 300 is provided with a receiving cavity 330, a first inlet 341, a first outlet 342, and a first flow channel 340. The first flow channel 340 communicates with the receiving cavity 330. The first inlet 341 and the first outlet 342 are respectively connected to the first flow channel 340. The first inlet 341 is used for water to flow into the outside, and the first outlet 342 is used for water to flow out of the outside. The base 200 is fixedly connected to the valve body 300. The base 200 is provided with a second flow channel 210 and a second inlet 220. The second flow channel 210 is used for water to flow into a water tank 920. The second inlet 220 communicates with the second flow channel 210, and the opening direction of the second inlet 220 is arranged along a first direction.
[0053] The driven assembly 400 includes a driven member 410 located within the accommodating cavity 330. The driven member 410 is capable of moving in a first direction under the influence of external water. The first valve plate 500 includes a sealing portion 510 and a first connecting portion 520 connected to each other. The sealing portion 510 seals the second water inlet 220, and the first connecting portion 520 is connected to the driven member 410. The first valve plate 500 is capable of moving in the first direction along the first direction with the movement of the driven member 410 to the sealing portion 510 to release the seal on the second water inlet 220.
[0054] After external water flows into the receiving cavity 330 along the first flow channel 340, the driven member 410 moves in the receiving cavity 330 along the first direction under the push of the external water. The movement of the driven member 410 drives the first valve plate 500 to move along the first direction, thereby causing the sealing part 510 to disengage from the second water inlet 220, thus releasing the seal on the second water inlet 220. Water in the water tank 920 flows in through the second water inlet 220 for flushing. After flushing is completed, the external water is cut off, and the water in the receiving cavity 330 flows out from the first water outlet 342. The driven member 410, no longer under the force of the water, resets, and the sealing part 510 follows the driven member 410 to reset to the second water inlet 220 to seal the second water inlet 220.
[0055] The overflow pipe 700 is provided with a third flow channel 710, which includes a first channel section 711 and a second channel section 712 that are interconnected. The first channel section 711 is connected to the first flow channel 340, and the second channel section 712 is connected to the second flow channel 210. By connecting the first flow channel 340 and the second flow channel 210 through the third flow channel 710, the external water drives the driven component 400, and the discharged water flows directly into the second flow channel 210. The gravity of the water in the toilet tank 920 and the pressure of the external water source are used together to flush the toilet 900, thereby increasing the water pressure when flushing the toilet 900 and improving the flushing effect of the toilet 900.
[0056] Compared with the related art, the water tank 920 of the present application does not need to be provided with electronic elements and metal traction structures to achieve the opening and closing of the drain valve 100, avoiding the erosion of water vapor on electronic elements, and enabling normal use of the drain valve 100 in the case of power failure. On the other hand, the first valve plate 500 is driven to move by external water, which is equivalent to using a force field to drive the first valve plate 500. Compared with using a simple mechanical structure to drive the movement of the first valve plate 500, the wear between components is smaller, and the service life of the drain valve 100 can be further prolonged. Moreover, the first flow channel 340 and the second flow channel 210 are connected by the overflow pipe 700, thereby prolonging the service life of the drain valve 100 while improving the water pressure of the water discharged by the drain valve 100 to improve the flushing effect of the toilet 900.
[0057] It can be understood that the first direction refers to the same direction as the opening direction of the second water inlet 220 and the movement direction of the driven assembly 400. The first direction can be the same as the direction of gravity, so as to reset by using the gravity of the driven assembly 400 and the first valve plate 500. When the external water stops flowing into the first water inlet 341, the external water will gradually flow out of the second water outlet 720. After the driven member 410 loses the effect of the external water, it will reset under the action of gravity, and the first valve plate 500 resets the sealing part 510 under the action of its own gravity and the gravity of the driven member 410.
[0058] Specifically, in order to ensure that the external water can have enough pressure to drive the driven assembly 400 to move, the size of the first water outlet 342 can be controlled so that the first water outlet 342 is smaller than the first water inlet 341, thereby limiting the outflow of the external water in the accommodation cavity 330 and pressurizing. Alternatively, a flow limiting valve or a flow limiting nozzle can be provided at the first water outlet 342 to limit the outflow of the external water in the accommodation cavity 330 and pressurize. The above-mentioned setting of the first water outlet 342 and the use of the flow limiting valve can also be adaptively changed to the extension pipe communicating with the first water outlet 342.
[0059] The valve body 300 comprises an upper valve body 310 and a lower valve body 320 connected to each other, the first flow channel 340 is arranged in the lower valve body 320, and the upper valve body 310 and the lower valve body 320 jointly define a containing cavity 330. The base 200 and the valve body 300 are fixedly connected through clamping or pre-tightening of a pre-tightening member such as a bolt, wherein the bolt can be selected as a conventional bolt or a rust-proof bolt. Although the conventional bolt is also subject to water vapor corrosion, the bolt only plays a fastening role and does not need to move, and there is no possibility of movement jamming due to rust. Even if the bolt is rusted, the effect on the realization and effect of fastening is small and can be ignored. The same applies to the application of bolts and other pre-tightening members at other connection positions. The first water inlet 341 and the first water outlet 342 are arranged at opposite ends of the valve body 300, respectively, and the driven member 410 is arranged between the first water inlet 341 and the first water outlet 342, so as to improve the effect of the external water force that the driven member 410 can receive. The first water outlet 342 can be in communication with the water tank 920 of the toilet 900, so that after the external water realizes the driving function, it can flow into the water tank 920 as water for flushing the toilet 900.
[0060] Further, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the axis of the first channel segment 711 coincides with the axis of the first flow channel 340, so as to improve the flow rate and water pressure of the external water flowing out of the overflow pipe 700.
[0061] Specifically, the fluid has viscosity, and there is a pressure loss along the way when the fluid flows in the pipeline. The pipe wall is static, and if the external water infiltrates the pipe wall of the second flow channel 210, the flow rate and the pipe wall speed are both zero, and the pressure loss along the way is large. With the increase of the distance between the external water and the pipe wall of the second flow channel 210, the pressure loss along the way gradually decreases, and the speed of the external water becomes larger and larger, and reaches the maximum at the center position of the base 200. When the speed of the external water is maximum, the axis of the first channel segment 711 coincides with the axis of the first flow channel 340.
[0062] As an improvement of the above scheme, referring to Figures 2 to 6The driven assembly 400 further comprises a first sealing member 420 capable of deforming in the first direction, the first sealing member 420 being clamped between the upper valve body 310 and the lower valve body 320, and the driven member 410 abutting against a side of the first sealing member 420 away from the base 200. By arranging the first sealing member 420, external water can be confined in the accommodating cavity 330 and located between the driven member 410 and the base 200, so as to ensure that when the driven member 410 is affected by external water, the force is in the first direction away from the base 200, avoiding the external water from leaking to the side of the driven member 410 away from the base 200 and affecting the movement of the driven member 410, and the first sealing member 420 can also reduce the possibility of external water leaking out of the valve body 300 along the gap of the valve body 300 or along the relief structure, ensuring that external water flows into the first water inlet 341 and flows out of the second water inlet 220.
[0063] Specifically, the first sealing member 420 is annular, and the outer edge of the first sealing member 420 is clamped between the upper valve body 310 and the lower valve body 320 to ensure the sealing effect. When external water flows into the accommodating cavity 330, the external water abuts against the side of the first sealing member 420 towards the base 200 and causes the first sealing member 420 to deform in the direction away from the base 200, and the driven member 410 moves in the direction away from the base 200 under the abutment of the first sealing member 420. When the external water is discharged from the accommodating cavity 330, the first sealing member 420 restores to the original state in the direction towards the base 200 under the weight and gravity of the driven member 410, completing the reset of the drain valve 100.
[0064] Further, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The driven assembly 400 further comprises a clamping member 430, the side of the driven member 410 towards the first sealing member 420 is further provided with a second connecting portion 411, the first sealing member 420 is further provided with a through hole 421, the second connecting portion 411 is arranged through the through hole 421, and the first sealing member 420 is clamped between the clamping member 430 and the driven member 410. The driven member 410 is fixedly connected with the clamping member 430, and the driven member 410 and the clamping member 430 seal the through hole 421. By clamping the first sealing member 420 by the clamping member 430 and the driven member 410, the stability of the driven member 410 when driven by the first sealing member 420 can be improved, and the possibility of movement deviation of the driven member 410 due to irregular deformation of the first sealing member 420 can be reduced. The fixed connection between the driven member 410 and the clamping member 430 can be achieved by ultrasonic welding or pre-tightening of a pre-tightening member, as long as the sealing degree of the through hole 421 is ensured.
[0065] Specifically, the second connecting part 411 can be provided with a positioning boss 413, the clamping part 430 can be provided with a positioning hole 432, the positioning boss 413 is inserted into the positioning hole 432, and the positioning boss 413 and the positioning hole 432 can facilitate positioning between the clamping part 430 and the driven part 410, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0066] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution, with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The outer edge of the driven part 410 is provided with a first protruding part 412, the outer edge of the clamping part 430 is provided with a second protruding part 431, one of the first protruding part 412 and the second protruding part 431 is provided with a clamping groove 440, at least a part of the first sealing part 420 is located in the clamping groove 440, and the first sealing part 420 is clamped between the first protruding part 412 and the second protruding part 431. By clamping the first sealing part 420 through the first protruding part 412 and the second protruding part 431, the sealing degree of the driven assembly 400 can be further improved, and the possibility of external water leakage can be reduced.
[0067] As another aspect of the improvement of the above-mentioned solution, with reference to Figures 2 to 4 The driven assembly 400 further comprises a first elastic part 630, the first elastic part 630 is connected with the first valve plate 500, and the first elastic part 630 is used to apply a force in the first direction to the first valve plate 500 to approach the base 200. By providing the first elastic part 630, the first valve plate 500 and the driven part 410 can be assisted to reset, and the possibility that the driven part 410 and the first valve plate 500 cannot reset after being lifted can be reduced.
[0068] Specifically, the first elastic part 630 can be selected as a compression type elastic part such as a spring, one end of the first elastic part 630 abuts against the abutting part 350 fixed on the side of the upper valve body 310 away from the base 200, the other end of the first elastic part 630 abuts against the driven assembly 400, so as to apply a force in the first direction to the driven assembly 400 to approach the base 200, and the driven assembly 400 applies a force in the first direction to the first valve plate 500 to approach the base 200. In other embodiments, one end of the first elastic part 630 abuts against the lower valve body 320, and the other end of the first elastic part 630 abuts against the plugging part 510, so as to apply a force in the first direction to the first valve plate 500 to approach the base 200. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first elastic part 630 can also be selected as a tensile type elastic part such as an elastic band, the first elastic part 630 is sleeved on the driven assembly 400 and the base 200, and the inner ring of the first elastic part 630 abuts against the driven assembly 400 and the base 200 respectively, so as to apply a force in the first direction to the first valve plate 500 to approach the base 200.
[0069] In some embodiments, the follower 410 is directly connected with the first connecting part 520, a part of the follower 410 is located in the accommodating cavity 330, and another part of the follower 410 extends outside the valve body 300 and is fixedly connected with the first connecting part 520. Alternatively, a part of the first connecting part 520 extends into the inside of the valve body 300 and is fixedly connected with the follower 410. The first connecting part 520 and the follower 410 can be fixedly connected by clamping or pre-tightening.
[0070] Further, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the drain valve 100 further comprises a connecting piece 600, the connecting piece 600 comprises a third connecting part 610 and a fourth connecting part 620 connected with each other, the third connecting part 610 is located in the accommodating cavity 330, the third connecting part 610 is connected with the follower 410, and the third connecting part 610 can be fixedly connected with the follower 410 or abut against the follower 410. The fourth connecting part 620 extends outside the valve body 300 and is fixedly connected with the first connecting part 520. The connecting piece 600 is used to connect the follower 410 and the first connecting part 520, which can simplify the mechanism of the follower 410 and the first valve plate 500 and facilitate the assembly of the follower 410 and the first connecting part 520.
[0071] Specifically, in the embodiment provided with the connecting piece 600, the first elastic piece 630 can be arranged to abut against one end of the fourth connecting part 620 and the other end of the abutting piece 350.
[0072] Referring to Figure 4 , as an improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, the drain valve 100 further comprises a second elastic piece 640, one end of the second elastic piece 640 abuts against the connecting piece 600, and the other end of the second elastic piece 640 abuts against the follower 410. The second elastic piece 640 is used to apply a force in the first direction to the follower 410 to approach the base 200, to assist the follower 410 to reset and to buffer through the second elastic piece 640, to reduce the rigid impact between the follower 410 and the connecting piece 600. The second elastic piece 640 can also adjust the force of the water pressure required by the follower 410 to move.
[0073] The second elastic member 640 can be selected as a spring or a bellows or other elastic member conventional in the art. The third connecting portion 610 is in sliding connection with the fourth connecting portion 620, and the third connecting portion 610 and the fourth connecting portion 620 can move relative to each other in the first direction. One end of the second elastic member 640 abuts against the driven member 410, and the other end of the second elastic member 640 abuts against the fourth connecting portion 620. In other embodiments, one end of the second elastic member 640 abuts against the driven member 410, and the other end of the second elastic member 640 abuts against the third connecting portion 610. It can be understood that the number of second elastic members 640 is not limited, and can be one or more.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present application, the overflow pipe 700 is provided with a second water outlet 720, which communicates the second channel segment 712 with the second flow channel 210. The cross-sectional area of the second water outlet 720 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the third flow channel 710 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the third flow channel 710. By limiting the cross-sectional area of the second water outlet 720 and the cross-sectional area of the third flow channel 710, the outflow of external water in the accommodation cavity 330 can be limited and pressurized, and it is ensured that the external water has sufficient water pressure to drive the driven assembly 400 to move after entering the accommodation cavity 330,
[0075] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, with reference to Figures 2 to 4 The drain valve 100 further comprises a nozzle 800, which comprises a first body 810, a second valve plate 820, and a third elastic member 830. The first body 810 is provided with a fourth flow channel 811 and a third water inlet 812. The third water inlet 812 communicates the third flow channel 710 with the fourth flow channel 811. The second valve plate 820 is located in the fourth flow channel 811. The third elastic member 830 is connected with the second valve plate 820, and is used to apply a force to the second valve plate 820 in the extension direction of the fourth flow channel 811 to approach the third water inlet 812. The second valve plate 820 blocks the third water inlet 812, and can move under the action of external water to unblock the third water inlet 812. By blocking the third water inlet 812 through cooperation of the second valve plate 820 and the third elastic member 830, external water can continuously accumulate in the accommodation cavity 330 when the water pressure is not lifted to a set water pressure, and can be pushed away from the second valve plate 820 and flow out from the fourth flow channel 811 only when the set water pressure is reached, so as to ensure that the driven assembly 400 can move to a set position to lift the first valve plate 500, and improve the use stability of the drain valve 100.
[0076] Specifically, the third elastic member 830 can be selected as a compression type elastic member such as a spring, one end of the third elastic member 830 abuts against the side of the second valve plate 820 away from the third water inlet 812, and the other end of the third elastic member 830 abuts against the inner surface of the first main body 810, so as to exert a force on the second valve plate 820 along the extension direction of the fourth flow channel 811 to make the second valve plate 820 close to the third water inlet 812.
[0077] It can be understood that the nozzle 800 in the embodiment is the flow limiting nozzle mentioned above, and the nozzle 800 can also be directly installed in the first water outlet 342 or an extension pipeline thereof.
[0078] With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the application further provides a toilet 900 comprising a second main body 910 and the drain valve 100 in the above embodiment. The second main body 910 is provided with a water tank 920, a sewage tank 930 and a fifth flow channel 940, the fifth flow channel 940 communicates the water tank 920 and the sewage tank 930, the drain valve 100 is arranged in the water tank 920, and the second flow channel 210 communicates with the fifth flow channel 940. By applying the drain valve 100 in the embodiment of the application, the service life of the drain valve 100 can be prolonged, so as to prolong the maintenance cycle and the overall service life of the toilet 900, and the water pressure of the water discharged by the drain valve 100 can be improved, so as to improve the flushing effect of the toilet 900.
[0079] Specifically, with reference to Figure 7 , the lower side of the base 200 is inserted into the fifth flow channel 940, and the base 200 is fixed to the inner surface of the water tank 920, so that the installation of the drain valve 100 is completed. The size of the lower side of the base 200 can be set to adapt to the general size of the fifth flow channel 940, so as to improve the applicability of the drain valve 100 and adapt to most of the toilets in the related field.
