[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Appendix Figures 1-7 As shown, the push-button switch valve includes a valve body 1, a button 2, and a valve core 3. The valve body 1 includes an inlet 11, an outlet 12, a button port 13, and a valve chamber 14. The axis of the inlet 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the outlet 12.

[0032] In order to press the key 2 more conveniently, as a preferred scheme of the present application, the included angle between the axis of the key hole 13 and the axis of the water inlet hole 11 and the axis of the water outlet hole 12 is an obtuse angle.

[0033] The valve core 3 is arranged in the valve cavity 14, and the valve core 3 divides the valve cavity 14 into three spaces, i.e. the first cavity 141 communicating with the water inlet hole 11, the second cavity 142 for mounting the valve core 3, and the third cavity 143 communicating with the water outlet hole 12. The valve core 3 comprises an upper valve core body 31, a middle valve core body 32, a lower valve core body 33, and a movable core 34. The lower valve core body 33 is provided with a water inlet passage 332 and a water outlet passage 331. A control structure is arranged between the movable core 34 and the upper valve core body 31. The control structure can change the communication state of the water inlet passage 332 and the water outlet passage 331.

[0034] The key 2 is connected to the movable core 34, and preferably adopts a threaded structure for connection.

[0035] The valve body 1 is provided with a first boss 15, a second boss 16 and a third boss 17. The first boss 15 is used to limit the stroke of the key 2, and the second boss 16 and the third boss 17 are used to limit the position of the valve core 3.

[0036] The water outlet passage 331 is a central passage located in the center of the valve core 3, and the water inlet passage 332 is a peripheral passage distributed in a circle around the central passage. The central passage communicates with the water outlet hole 12, and the peripheral passage communicates with the water inlet hole 11.

[0037] In order to ensure that the first cavity 141, the second cavity 142 and the third cavity 143 are mutually isolated, the lower valve core body 33 is provided with a first ring groove 333 and a second ring groove 334. The first ring groove 333 is provided with a first sealing ring 335, and the second ring groove 334 is provided with a second sealing ring 336. The first cavity 141 is isolated from the second cavity 142 by the first sealing ring 335, and the second cavity 142 is isolated from the third cavity 143 by the second sealing ring 336.

[0038] In order to prevent impurities in tap water from blocking the key switch valve, the lower valve core body 33 is provided with a filter screen 337.

[0039] In order to facilitate the installation of the movable core 34, the upper valve core body 31, the middle valve core body 32 and the lower valve core body 33 are detachably connected together by threads, and the middle valve core body 32 and the lower valve core body 33 are sealingly connected.

[0040] The inner wall of the upper valve core body 31 is uniformly provided with guide rails 311, limiting grooves 312 and clamping grooves 313. In the embodiment, the guide rails 311 are eight in total and are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, the limiting grooves 312 are four in total, the clamping grooves 313 are four in total, the bottom surface of the guide rail 311 is a slope, the depth of the limiting groove 312 is deeper than the depth of the clamping groove 313, the clamping groove 313 and the limiting groove 312 are located between two adjacent guide rails 311, and the limiting groove 312 and the clamping groove 313 are distributed in a staggered manner.

[0041] The movable core 34 comprises a pressing piece 35, a locking piece 36 and a sealing piece 37; the locking piece 36 and the sealing piece 37 are detachably connected together, the sealing piece 37 comprises a disc part 371 and a cylindrical part 372, a spring 373 is sleeved on the cylindrical part 372, and an elastic sealing layer 374 is arranged on the bottom of the disc part 371; the elastic sealing layer 374 can be made of rubber or the like.

[0042] The inner wall of the middle valve core body 32 is provided with a third ring groove 321, and a third sealing ring 322 is arranged in the third ring groove 321; the third sealing ring 322 is in sliding sealing cooperation with the cylindrical part 372.

[0043] The outer wall of the locking piece 36 is provided with locking protrusions 361; in the embodiment, the locking protrusions 361 are four in total, the height and width of the locking protrusions 361 are slightly smaller than the depth and width of the limiting groove 312, and the top of the locking protrusion 361 is provided with a first inclined surface.

[0044] The lower end surface of the pressing piece 35 is an isosceles triangular protrusion 351; in the embodiment, the protrusion is eight in total; eight limiting protrusions 352 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction on the outer side of the lower end of the pressing piece 35, and the height of the limiting protrusion 352 is slightly smaller than the depth of the clamping groove 313. The top angle of the isosceles triangular protrusion 351 and the vertical center line of the limiting protrusion 352 are on the same straight line. The inclination of the waist of the isosceles triangular protrusion 351 matches the first inclined surface and the slope of the bottom surface of the guide rail 311.

[0045] When the key switch valve needs to be closed, the key 2 is pressed down, the pressing piece 35 drives the locking piece 36 to move down, the isosceles triangle-shaped protrusion 351 of the pressing piece 35 acts on the first inclined surface of the locking piece 36, the pressing piece 35 exerts a downward and circumferential force on the locking piece 36, when the locking piece 36 moves to the lowest point, the locking piece 36 rotates in the process of moving down under the action of the force, after the locking piece 36 rotates, it is clamped by the upper valve core inner clamping groove 313, the sealing piece 37 isolates the surrounding channel and the central channel, and the effect of closing the key switch valve is achieved. When the key switch valve needs to be opened, the elastic sealing layer 374 has a certain deformation, the pressing piece 35 moves down to release the locking piece 36 from the limiting clamping groove 313, because the spring is in a compressed state at this time, the spring 373 drives the sealing piece 37 to move up, the surrounding channel and the central channel are connected, and the key switch valve is opened.

[0046] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
