Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of squat toilet technology, and more particularly to a dual-control mechanical flush valve for squat toilets. Background Technology
[0002] Different places use different flush valves for toilets. Currently, there are three types of toilet flush valves: sensor-operated, foot-operated, and manual. There is also a type of toilet that uses a water tank for flushing. The principles of these flush valves are all different. Public toilets are places with a large flow of people, so water conservation is the primary consideration. Secondly, they utilize the force of a large flow of water to flush away dirt in one go. The principle is that the water tank is placed at a high position, using the potential energy of the water to work. Take the currently popular sensor-operated flush valve as an example. The principle of the sensor-operated flush valve is that the flush valve senses the heat of the human body. When the heat disappears, the flush is activated. Automatic flushers are equipped with infrared receiving probes. When a human body approaches, the probe can receive infrared rays emitted by the human body with sufficient intensity. The control circuit activates the flush solenoid valve and keeps it on for two seconds, flushing once. When the person leaves, the infrared rays received by the probe decrease, the internal control circuit resets, and the solenoid valve remains on for three seconds, flushing once more.
[0003] Existing squat toilets generally require a water tank to temporarily store water. In order to save water, they are usually equipped with two buttons to control the water flow. However, the existing water tanks take up a lot of space, and there are also mechanical direct current flush valves that consume a lot of water. The electric flush valves require power and cannot be used when the power is off. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0032] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, details the dual-control mechanical flush valve for the squat toilet.
[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a dual-control mechanical flushing valve for squat toilets, comprising a water outlet control chamber 3 and an activation control chamber 4. A main control piston 5 is slidably disposed within the water outlet control chamber 3, and one end of the main control piston 5 is connected to the activation control chamber 4. A stroke piston 6 is also disposed within the water outlet control chamber 3. A first activation device 41 and a second activation device 42 are disposed within the activation control chamber 4. When the first activation device 41 is pressed, the first activation device 41 is connected to the main control piston 5, and the main control piston 5 slides to abut against the stroke piston 6, opening the drainage. After the first activation device 41 is pressed, it is connected to the outside, causing the pressure on that side of the main control piston 5 to decrease. Under the action of water pressure, the main control piston 5 is pushed to move, thereby opening the drainage channel 33. The main control piston 5 stops when it abuts against the stroke piston 6. At this time, the opening size is not fully opened, and the water flow is relatively small.
[0034] When the second starting device 42 is pressed, the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 are simultaneously activated. The stroke piston 6 moves away from the main control piston 5, increasing the stroke of the main control piston 5 and thus increasing the drainage volume. After the second starting device 42 is pressed, the pressure at one end of both the stroke piston 6 and the main control piston 5 decreases simultaneously, causing the stroke piston 6 to contract and increasing the distance between the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6. Under the action of water pressure, the main control piston 5 is pushed to move, thereby opening the drainage channel 33. The main control piston 5 stops when it comes into contact with the stroke piston 6. At this point, the opening size is maximized, increasing the drainage volume. Furthermore, due to the increased stroke of the main control piston 5, the opening time and reset time also increase, thereby increasing the drainage time and significantly increasing the drainage volume.
[0035] To limit the movement of the main control piston 5 and ensure its coaxial operation with the stroke piston 6, the main control piston 5 is sleeved on the outside of the stroke piston 6. A limiting rod 61 is provided at the end of the stroke piston 6 closest to the main control piston 5. The main control piston 5 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 61, and when the main control piston 5 reaches its lowest point, it abuts against the limiting rod 61. The coaxial installation of the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 saves installation space and increases the drainage and reset speed of water inside the main control piston 5. The movement of the main control piston 5 requires the drainage of internal water. The stroke piston 6, located inside the main control piston 5, occupies a portion of its internal space. During drainage, the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 drain water simultaneously through two channels, resulting in rapid drainage and a quick response. The simultaneous movement of the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 increases the stroke of the main control piston 5 and the drainage time, thereby increasing the drainage volume.
[0036] To allow the stroke piston 6 to reset, a stroke chamber 31 is provided at the bottom of the water outlet control chamber 3. The stroke piston 6 is slidably connected to the stroke chamber 31, and a stroke spring 62 is provided at the bottom of the stroke chamber 31. One end of the stroke spring 62 abuts against the stroke piston 6. In the initial state, the stroke piston 6 is located at the end of the stroke chamber 31 closest to the main control piston 5. After pressing the second starting device 42, the pressure on the side of the stroke chamber 31 connected to the second starting device 42 decreases. The stroke piston 6 is pushed and contracted under the pressure of tap water, thereby squeezing the stroke spring 62 to contract. After the pressure difference decreases, the stroke piston 6 resets under the action of the stroke spring 62.
[0037] To allow the main control piston 5 to reset, a return spring 51 is installed inside the water outlet control chamber 3. One end of the return spring 51 is fixed, and the other end abuts against the main control piston 5, causing the main control piston 5 to tend to move away from the stroke piston 6. After the pressure difference on both sides of the main control piston 5 decreases, the main control piston 5 resets under the action of the return spring 51. The return spring 51 is initially in a slightly compressed state, possessing a certain elasticity to hold the main control piston 5 at the water outlet, preventing water leakage.
[0038] To facilitate control of drainage flow, the side wall of the water outlet control chamber 3 is provided with an inlet channel 32 and a drain channel 33. A sealing element 52 is located in the middle of the main control piston 5. Initially, the sealing element 52 is positioned between the inlet channel 32 and the drain channel 33 to isolate them. The water outlet control chamber 3 is cylindrical, with a step before the inlet channel 32 and the drain channel 33, making the diameter of the water outlet control chamber 3 where the drain channel 33 is located smaller. The sealing element 52 is located on the outer side wall of the main control piston 5, and its diameter is larger than that of the water outlet control chamber 3 where the drain channel 33 is located. When the main control piston 5 is pressed against the step by the return spring 51, the sealing element 52 abuts against the step, isolating the water outlet control chamber 3 and preventing water from flowing from the inlet channel 32 to the drain channel 33. The inlet channel 32 and the drain channel 33 are located at different axial positions of the main control piston 5, allowing the flow time of both channels to be controlled by the stroke of the main control piston 5 as it moves along the axis. At the same time, the stroke distance of the main control piston 5 can be controlled to control the water output. When the first start device 41 is pressed, the main control piston 5 retracts to the last position, and the position of the seal 52 can be set so that it is located between the water inlet channels 32, so that the water inlet channels 32 are not fully opened. When the second start device 42 is pressed, the stroke increases, so that the water inlet channels 32 are fully opened and the water inlet volume is increased.
[0039] To balance the pressure during reset, the main control piston 5 has a piston through hole 53 on its side wall, which connects the water inlet channel 32 to the internal chamber of the main control piston 5. The bottom of the water outlet control chamber 3 has a first water outlet 34, which connects the internal chamber of the main control piston 5 to the first starting device 41. When the first starting device 41 is pressed, it connects to the outside, reducing the pressure in the internal chamber of the main control piston 5. Under the pressure of tap water, the main control piston 5 is pushed to contract. After being pressed, the first starting device 41 quickly resets, creating a sealed environment in the internal chamber of the main control piston 5. The internal chamber of the main control piston 5 is connected to the tap water through the piston through hole 53. Simultaneously, under the action of the reset spring 51, water is slowly injected into the internal chamber of the main control piston 5, and then it returns to its initial position under the push of the reset spring 51. During the process of the main control piston 5 opening and closing, the toilet is constantly flushing.
[0040] Furthermore, the stroke piston 6 is provided with a connecting groove 63, which connects the internal chamber of the main control piston 5 and the internal chamber of the stroke piston 6. The bottom of the water outlet control chamber 3 is provided with a second water outlet 35, which connects the internal chamber of the stroke piston 6 and the second starting device 42. The internal chamber of the stroke piston 6 is connected to the internal chamber of the main control piston 5 via the connecting groove 63, and then to tap water via the piston through-hole 53. When the second starting device 42 is pressed, both the internal chambers of the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 are simultaneously connected to the outside, reducing pressure. Under the pressure of the tap water, both the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 contract simultaneously, increasing the stroke of the main control piston 5 and the drainage time.
[0041] To facilitate control of the stroke time and set an appropriate drainage time, a delayed closing chamber 43 is provided in the start-up control chamber 4. A delayed piston 44 is slidably disposed in the delayed closing chamber 43. The delayed piston 44 has a delayed through hole 441, which connects the inner and outer sides of the delayed piston 44. The internal chamber of the main control piston 5 is connected to the outer side of the delayed piston 44, and the inner side of the delayed piston 44 is connected to the first start-up device 41. Further, an inner drain port 431 is provided on the outer side of the delayed piston 44, and a closing plug 442 is provided at the end of the delayed piston 44. In the initial state, the closing plug 442 is located in the inner drain port 431 to close the delayed closing chamber 43 for drainage. A delayed spring 443 is provided on the inner side of the delayed piston 44, with one end of the delayed spring 443 abutting against the delayed piston 44 to give the delayed piston 44 a tendency to move towards the inner drain port 431. When the start device is pressed, a pressure difference is generated on both sides of the delay piston 44. Under the pressure of the tap water, the delay piston 44 is pushed inward to contract. At this time, the delay piston 44 opens the channel to the outside, allowing water in the water outlet control chamber 3 to be discharged quickly. This allows the main control piston 5 and the stroke piston 6 to contract quickly, and the main control piston 5 remains in the maximum opening position for a certain period of time. After the first start device 41 is pressed, the inside of the delay piston 44 is connected to the outside, creating a pressure difference, which pushes the delay piston 44. The first start device 41 will quickly reset and close the connection to the outside, but at this time the delay piston 44 is open, so the inside of the main control piston 5 is still connected to the outside. At this time, the main control piston 5 is in the maximum open position, and the drainage volume is the maximum. The delay piston 44 is filled with water through the delay through hole 441 and resets under the action of the delay spring 443 until the delay piston 44 is fully reset and the inner drain port 431 is completely closed. At this time, the main control piston 5 begins to reset, thus achieving maximum water volume flushing for a period of time.
[0042] Preferably, the sidewall of the delayed closing cavity 43 is provided with a first starting water channel 45 and a second starting water channel 46. The first starting water channel 45 connects the inner side of the delayed piston 44 to the first starting device 41, and the second starting water channel 46 connects the inner side of the delayed piston 44 to the second starting device 42. The second starting device 42 is provided with a blocking mechanism 47. When the second starting device 42 is not pressed, the blocking mechanism 47 blocks the connection between the delayed closing cavity 43 and the second starting water channel 46. The blocking mechanism 47 ensures that pressing the first starting device 41 alone will not affect the movement of the stroke piston 6, achieving independent small-flow drainage. When the second starting device 42 is pressed, the blocking mechanism 47 opens, synchronously connecting the first starting device 41, which is equivalent to pressing the first starting device 41 and the second starting device 42 simultaneously.
[0043] Further, the isolation mechanism 47 includes a blocking piston 472 and a blocking spring 471. The blocking piston 472 is slidably connected in the second starting water channel 46. The second starting water channel 46 has a conical opening at one end near the delayed closing chamber 43. One end of the blocking spring 471 is fixed, and the other end abuts against the blocking piston 472, causing the blocking piston 472 to tend to move towards the conical opening. In the initial state, the blocking piston 472 is stuck in the conical opening to block the communication between the second starting water channel 46 and the delayed closing chamber 43. After pressing the second starting device 42, the pressure of the tap water pushes the blocking piston 472 open. After the second starting device 42 resets, the stroke piston 6 is still draining water. At this time, the water in the stroke piston 6 enters the inner chamber of the delayed piston 44 through the conical opening. When the stroke piston 6 stops moving, the blocking spring 471 pushes the blocking piston 472 to reset.
[0044] Preferably, both the first starting device 41 and the second starting device 42 include a starting button 401, a starting spring 402, and a starting sealing block 403. The starting button 401 is respectively sleeved on the ends of the first starting water channel 45 and the second starting water channel 46. The starting sealing block 403 is fixed inside the starting button 401. When not pressed, the starting sealing block 403 is located at the ends of the first starting water channel 45 and the second starting water channel 46, closing the first starting water channel 45 and the second starting water channel 46. The starting spring 402 and the starting sealing block 403 cause the starting sealing block 403 to tend to move towards the ends of the first starting water channel 45 and the second starting water channel 46. The starting button 401 is a commonly used button on the market. When pressed, it opens the starting sealing block 403, allowing the first starting water channel 45 and the second starting water channel 46 to communicate with the outside. The outside is located in the cavity of the outer shell 1. This water enters the outer shell 1 and is directly discharged through the drainage channel 33. After the start button 401 is released, the start sealing block 403 can quickly reset under the action of the start spring 402. The start button 401 can also be opened by pulling, depending on the actual button structure.
[0045] To ensure that the internal mechanism of the flush valve is not damaged due to excessive pressure, it also includes an outer shell 1 and a water inlet protection mechanism 2. The outer shell 1 is provided with a water inlet interface 11 and a water outlet interface 12. The water outlet interface 12 is connected to the drainage channel 33. The water inlet interface 11 is connected to the water inlet end of the water inlet protection mechanism 2. The water outlet end of the water inlet protection mechanism 2 is connected to the water inlet channel 32.
[0046] Furthermore, the water inlet protection mechanism 2 includes a flow-limiting piston 23, a cut-off piston 22, and a protective housing 21. The flow-limiting piston 23 and the cut-off piston 22 are slidably connected inside the protective housing 21. A flow-limiting tube 24 is provided in the middle of the protective housing 21. The flow-limiting piston 23 and the cut-off piston 22 are located on both sides of the flow-limiting tube 24. The water inlet interface 11 and the water inlet channel 32 are located on both sides of the flow-limiting tube 24. When water flows through the flow-limiting tube 24, the flow-limiting piston 23 and the cut-off piston 22 move towards the flow-limiting tube 24 to reduce the water inlet volume. When the pressure is high, the water flows through the flow-limiting tube 24 at high speed, generating a negative pressure at that position. This causes the flow-limiting piston 23 and the cut-off piston 22 to move towards the flow-limiting tube 24, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the flow-limiting tube 24, reducing the water flow rate, preventing high water pressure from acting on the mechanical components for extended periods, and improving their service life.
