[0002] With the increasing demand for green, environmental protection and energy-saving products in society, especially for flushing valve products, the water efficiency is required to reach above level two. The water consumption per flush for level one is ≤ 5L, for level two is ≤ 6L, and for level three is 8L. At the same time, considering the actual flushing performance of the product, the average water consumption cannot be lower than 4L. In this way, the control threshold for the average water consumption of the product is too small, which is 1L for level one, 2L for level two, and 4L for level three. Moreover, there are many factors affecting the average water consumption of the toilet flushing valve, including the flushing valve itself, the squat toilet it is equipped with, and the drainage pipe supporting the flushing valve and the squat toilet.

Detailed implementation manners

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0045] The present invention relates to a delay valve core, including a body 100 and a first adjusting member 200.

[0046] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the body 100 is provided with a water inlet area 10, a water control flow channel 104 and a water passing area 103. The water inlet area 10, the water control flow channel 104 and the water passing area 103 are connected in sequence. The first adjusting member 200 is installed on the body 100, and the first adjusting member 200 can rotate on the body 100. The water control flow channel 104 is connected between the water inlet area 10 and the water passing area 103. The water control flow channel 104 is configured such that when the first adjusting member 200 rotates, the first adjusting member 200 can change the drainage flow rate of the water control flow channel 104 to the water passing area 103. When water is passed, water flows into the body 100 from the water inlet area 10, then into the water control flow channel 104, and finally flows out of the body 100 to the outside after flowing through the water control flow channel 104 to the water passing area 103.

[0047] The present invention also relates to a delayed drainage valve, which uses a delayed valve core. The delayed drainage valve further includes a housing 700 and a control valve 800. As Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the housing 700 is provided with a water inlet cavity 710, a water outlet cavity 720, a pressure relief cavity 730 and a mounting cavity 740. The mounting cavity 740 is provided with a second water inlet 741, a pressure relief port 742 and a drain port 743. In this embodiment, the pressure relief port 742 and the drain port 743 are vertically distributed, and the second water inlet 741 is opened on the left side of the mounting cavity 740. The second water inlet 741 is communicated with the water inlet cavity 710, the pressure relief port 742 is communicated with the upper part of the pressure relief cavity 730, and the water outlet cavity 720 is communicated below the drain port 743. The water outlet cavity 720 is simultaneously communicated with the lower part of the pressure relief cavity 730. The control valve 800 is installed on the housing 700, and the control valve 800 can be an electromagnetic valve or other manually controlled mechanical valves, etc. The control valve 800 is located at the communicating position between the lower part of the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720. The control valve 800 is used to control the communication or cut-off between the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720. The delayed valve core is installed in the mounting cavity 740, and the delayed valve core moves up and down relative to the mounting cavity 740 as the water pressure in the housing 700 changes. The water in the water inlet cavity 710 can flow into the pressure relief cavity 730 through the second water inlet 741, the water inlet area 10, the control water flow channel 104, the water passing area 103 and the pressure relief port 742.

[0048] In actual use, the delay valve core or the delay drain valve can be applied to sanitary wares such as urinals and squatting pans. The water inlet cavity 710 is connected to an external water supply system such as a water pipe. The water outlet cavity 720 is connected to the flushing pipe of the sanitary ware. Under normal conditions, the water inlet cavity 710 is in communication with the external water supply system, and the control valve 800 is kept in a state of shutting off the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720, that is, the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720 are not in communication with water. The water in the water inlet cavity 710 flows into the pressure relief cavity 730 through the second water inlet 741, the water inlet area 10, the control water flow channel 104, the water passing area 103, and the pressure relief port 742, and the pressure relief cavity 730 is kept full of water. At this time, under the action of the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 710 and the pressure relief cavity 730 and its own gravity, the delay valve core descends and remains at a position blocking the drain port 743. When drainage is required, the control valve 800 is opened, the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720 are in communication, and the water in the pressure relief cavity 730 is discharged outwards through the water outlet cavity 720. After the pressure relief cavity 730 is depressurized, the control valve 800 is used to shut off the pressure relief cavity 730 and the water outlet cavity 720 again. After the pressure relief cavity 730 is depressurized, the delay valve core is lifted upwards under the action of the water pressure in the water inlet cavity 710, the drain port 743 is opened, and the water is discharged from the water inlet cavity 710 through the second water inlet 741, the installation cavity 740, and the drain port 743 into the water outlet cavity 720 and then discharged to the flushing pipe. At the same time, the water can flow into the pressure relief cavity 730 through the second water inlet 741, the water inlet area 10, the control water flow channel 104, the water passing area 103, and the pressure relief port 742, gradually replenishing the pressure relief cavity 730. The water pressures in the water inlet cavity 710 and the pressure relief cavity 730 gradually tend to be balanced, and under the action of the self-gravity of the delay valve core, the delay valve core gradually descends until it descends to block the drain port 743, thus completing the drainage operation.

[0049] During the water replenishing process of the pressure relief cavity 730, according to the drainage flow rate of the control water flow channel 104 to the water passing area 103, the water replenishing completion time of the pressure relief area is determined, that is, the drainage time of the delay drain valve is determined. When the delay drain valve is applied to different products, according to the drainage requirements of the products, the first adjusting member 200 is used to adjust the drainage flow rate of the control water flow channel 104 to achieve the adjustment of multi-level water efficiency so as to be applicable to different water-using products. The overall structure is simple, the adjustment is convenient, and the applicability is wide.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the water passing area 103 is a cavity structure, and a water tank 105 is provided below the water passing area 103. A first water inlet 106 is formed in the water tank 105. The first water inlet 106 can be located at one end of the water tank 105, and the first water inlet 106 is communicated with the water inlet area 10. A cover plate 210 is provided on the first adjusting member 200, and the cover plate 210 is arranged around the central axis of the first adjusting member 200. The shape of the cover plate 210 is determined according to the trend of the water tank 105. In this embodiment, the water tank 105 extends in an arc shape, and the cover plate 210 is correspondingly arranged as a sector. The cover plate 210 covers above the water tank 105, and the above-mentioned water control flow channel 104 is defined between the lower side of the cover plate 210 and the water tank 105. In order for the water control flow channel 104 to supply water to the water passing area 103, the cover plate 210 does not completely cover the upper side of the water tank 105, and the part of the water tank 105 not covered by the cover plate 210, that is, the first water outlet 107 constituting the water control flow channel 104. The water control flow channel 104 is communicated with the water passing area 103 through the first water outlet 107. The first water outlet 107 is formed at one end of the water tank 105 far from the first water inlet 106. When the first adjusting member 200 is rotated, the covering area of the cover plate 210 on the water tank 105 will be changed, that is, the opening size of the first water outlet 107 is changed, so as to adjust the drainage flow rate of the water control flow channel 104 to the water passing area 103. When the first water outlet 107 is reduced, the drainage flow rate of the water control flow channel 104 becomes smaller; when the first water outlet 107 is enlarged, the drainage flow rate of the water control flow channel 104 becomes larger. Among them, the water tank 105 can be set as a tank body with equal depth at each position. It can also be that the depth of the water tank 105 is set to be gradient, and the depth of the water tank 105 gradually becomes shallower from the direction of the first water inlet 106 to the first water outlet 107. That is, the water passing cross-section of the water control flow channel 104 gradually shrinks from the direction of the first water inlet 106 to the first water outlet 107. When the first adjusting member 200 rotates in the direction of increasing the first water outlet 107, when rotating the same angle, the increase amount of the drainage flow rate of the first water outlet 107 will change in an increasing manner. One, two or more water tanks 105 can be provided on the water passing area 103, and cover plates 210 corresponding to the number of water tanks 105 are provided on the first adjusting member 200. One cover plate 210 correspondingly covers one water tank 105, so as to form a plurality of water control flow channels 104. When the first adjusting member 200 rotates, the drainage flow rates of the respective water control flow channels 104 increase or decrease synchronously.

[0051] Based on the above embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, a rotating shaft 220 is provided on the first adjusting member 200. The cover plate 210 extends radially from the circumferential side wall of the rotating shaft 220. A connecting cavity 108 and a card slot 109 are provided in the water passing area 103. A plurality of card slots 109 are distributed around the connecting cavity 108. The water tank 105 extends in an arc shape around the connecting cavity 108. The rotating shaft 220 is coaxially inserted into the connecting cavity 108, and the first adjusting member 200 rotates relative to the water passing area 103 through the rotational cooperation between the rotating shaft 220 and the connecting cavity 108. Each card slot 109 is opened along the radial direction of the connecting cavity 108. A clamping protrusion 211 is provided on the lower side of the cover plate 210. The clamping protrusion 211 can slide into the card slot 109. When the first adjusting member 200 rotates, the clamping protrusion 211 will slide out of the current card slot 109 and then slide into the next adjacent card slot 109. Through the cooperation between the clamping protrusion 211 and the card slot 109, it is possible to prevent the first adjusting member 200 from rotating by itself under non-artificial rotation operations, thereby positioning the first adjusting member 200 at the current position. An elastic member 300 is provided between the first adjusting member 200 and the water passing area 103. The elastic member 300 can be selected as a spring or the like. It can be that a cover member is installed on the upper side of the water passing area 103, and the elastic member 300 is sleeved on the first adjusting member 200. The upper end of the elastic member 300 abuts against the lower side of the cover member, and the lower end of the elastic member 300 abuts against the upper side of the cover plate 210, so that the elastic member 300 exerts an elastic acting force on the first adjusting member 200, and this elastic acting force presses the cover plate 210 onto the water tank 105. When the first adjusting member 200 rotates, the clamping protrusion 211 slides into and out of each card slot 109 in sequence, and the first adjusting member 200 will jump up and down under the cooperation of the elastic acting force. When not rotating, the clamping protrusion 211 can be kept clamped in the card slot 109 under the elastic acting force.

[0052] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the body 100 includes a first connecting member 400 and a second connecting member 500 which are interconnected. The first connecting member 400 and the second connecting member 500 can be interconnected by means of plugging. For example, a shaft section 530 extends from the bottom of the second connecting member 500, and the shaft section 530 penetrates downward through the first connecting member 400. A first circular table surface 410 is provided on the upper side of the first connecting member 400. A plurality of ribs 420 are provided on the first circular table surface 410, and the ribs 420 are sequentially distributed along the circumferential direction of the first circular table surface 410. The ribs 420 extend in the radial direction of the first circular table surface 410. A groove 430 is also provided on the first circular table surface 410. The position where the groove 430 is located is closer to the center of the first circular table surface 410 than the ribs 420. The ribs 420 are arranged at intervals, and one end of the gap formed between the ribs 420 is opened on the groove wall of the groove 430. The groove 430 can extend in an arc shape around the center of the first circular table surface 410. A second circular table surface 510 is provided on the lower side of the second connecting member 500. The second circular table surface 510 abuts against the ribs 420. A plurality of water inlet channels 101 are defined between the gaps between the ribs 420 and the second circular table surface 510. A buffer channel 102 is defined between the second circular table surface 510 and the groove 430, and each water inlet channel 101 communicates with the buffer channel 102. Each water inlet channel 101 and the buffer channel 102 constitute the above-mentioned water inlet area 10. The buffer channel 102 communicates between each water inlet channel 101 and the water control channel 104. After water enters the installation cavity 740, the water flows into the buffer channel 102 from each water inlet channel 101 respectively in the circumferential direction of the body 100 for convergence. After the water enters the buffer channel 102, the buffer channel 102 is gradually filled, accumulating static pressure potential energy for the subsequent fluid to enter the water control channel 104. After the buffer channel 102 is filled with water, it is then conveyed to the water control channel 104. The above-mentioned water passing area 103 is formed in the second connecting member 500.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, further, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown, the water inlet area 10 further includes a water flow channel 520. The water flow channel 520 is formed on the second connecting member 500. The water flow channel 520 is vertically arranged, with the buffer flow channel 102 located below the water flow channel 520 and the water control flow channel 104 located above the water flow channel 520. The water flow channel 520 connects the buffer flow channel 102 and the water control flow channel 104. The water flow channel 520 includes a reduced diameter section 521, a throat section 522, and an enlarged diameter section 523 that are connected in sequence from bottom to top. The reduced diameter section 521 is closer to the buffer flow channel 102 than the enlarged diameter section 523. The reduced diameter section 521 is tapered upward in the direction of the throat section 522. The enlarged diameter section 523 is flared upward in the direction away from the reduced diameter section 521. The throat section 522 is cylindrical. The minimum inner diameter of the reduced diameter section 521, the inner diameter of the throat section 522, and the minimum inner diameter of the enlarged diameter section 523 are equal. The upper end of the enlarged diameter section 523 constitutes the first water inlet 106. When water flows through the water flow channel 520, the water flows through the reduced diameter section 521, the throat section 522, and the enlarged diameter section 523 in sequence, and the water flow velocity increases due to the change in the inner diameter of the reduced diameter section 521, the throat section 522, and the enlarged diameter section 523, accelerating the entry into the water control flow channel 104.

[0054] Further, as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, a sand storage cavity 440 is provided on the first connecting member 400, and the sand storage cavity 440 is located below the groove 430. A diversion post 431 and a sand discharge port 432 are provided on the groove 430. The diversion post 431 extends upward on the groove 430. The diversion post 431 is coaxially inserted into the reduced diameter section 521. A plurality of flow blocking grooves 433 are formed on the peripheral wall of the diversion post 431, and the flow blocking grooves 433 extend along the axial direction of the diversion post 431. An elastic adjusting ring 450 is sleeved on the diversion post 431, and the adjusting ring 450 can be made of rubber material or the like. After the diversion post 431 is inserted into the reduced diameter section 521, the outer wall of the adjusting ring 450 abuts against the lower end of the reduced diameter section 521. The sand discharge port 432 can be provided on both sides of the lower end of the diversion post 431. The sand storage cavity 440 is communicated with the groove 430 through the sand discharge port 432. When water passes through, the water flow enters the flow blocking grooves 433 from the water control channel 104, and then flows upward along the flow blocking grooves 433 and enters the reduced diameter section 521. The adjusting ring 450 will expand and contract to a certain extent according to the change of the water pressure flowing through the flow blocking grooves 433. As the water pressure increases, the adjusting ring 450 will expand radially outward; as the water pressure decreases, the adjusting ring 450 will contract radially, so as to automatically adjust the water flow area between the adjusting ring 450 and the flow blocking grooves 433 to ensure the stability of the water flow. At the same time, by using the cooperation of the adjusting ring 450 and the flow blocking grooves 433, some solid impurities such as sand in the water body can be blocked and separated. The solid impurities cannot enter the water flow channel 520 through the flow blocking grooves 433. The separated solid impurities will fall back and concentrate in the water flow channel 520, and fall into the sand storage cavity 440 through the sand discharge port 432 for storage. In this way, it is possible to prevent sediment from entering the water control channel 104 and causing blockage. Among them, a sand blocking platform 434 can be provided on the groove 430, and the sand blocking platform 434 can block the sediment falling back into the water control channel 104 from flowing continuously along the water control channel 104.

[0055] Further, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, a flow-blocking gap 110 is formed between the first frustum surface 410 and the second frustum surface 510. The flow-blocking gap 110 is arranged around the outer end of each rib 420, that is, each water inlet channel 101 is located between the flow-blocking gap 110 and the buffer channel 102. The flow-blocking gap 110 is used to block solid impurities such as sand. In this embodiment, a downwardly protruding convex ring 511 can be provided at a position close to the outer edge of the second frustum surface 510, and the convex ring 511 and the first frustum surface 410 are spaced to form the above-mentioned flow-blocking gap 110. The gap height of the flow-blocking gap 110 can be set in the range of 0.15mm to 0.2mm, which can well block the sediment in the water and ensure the flow rate of water transported to the water inlet channel 101. Among them, the groove width of the above-mentioned flow-blocking groove 433 can be set to be smaller than the gap size of the flow-blocking gap 110, and the flow-blocking groove 433 is used to further separate the sediment in the water that cannot be separated by the flow-blocking gap 110. The silt blocked by the flow blocking gap 110 is discharged from the water outlet chamber 720 as the drain port 743 is opened. This can prevent silt and other impurities from entering the time-delay valve core as much as possible.

[0056] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11As shown in the figure, a water baffle 600 is further provided on the main body 100. The water baffle 600 includes a plate portion 610, a stepped portion 620, and a rib portion 630. The plate portion 610 is in the shape of a circular plate, and the stepped portion 620 is in the shape of a cylinder with an outer diameter smaller than that of the plate portion 610. The stepped portion 620 and the plate portion 610 are coaxially positioned. The plate portion 610 and the stepped portion 620 can be independent components. After the shaft section 530 on the second connecting member 500 passes downward through the first connecting member 400, it can be threadedly connected to the shaft section 530 through the stepped portion 620, thereby locking and fixing the plate portion 610 and the first connecting member 400 between the second connecting member 500 and the stepped portion 620. The stepped portion 620 includes a first water blocking portion 621 and a second water blocking portion 622 distributed circumferentially. The thickness dimension of the first water blocking portion 621 in the axial direction is greater than the thickness dimension of the second water blocking portion 622 in the axial direction. A plurality of rib portions 630 extend downward from the stepped portion 620 in the axial direction away from the plate portion 610. The plurality of rib portions 630 are sequentially and spaced apart circumferentially along the stepped portion 620. After the time-delay valve core is installed in the installation cavity 740, normally, the plate portion 610 covers the drain port 743 to block the drain port 743. The outer diameter of the stepped portion 620 is adapted to the drain port 743. The stepped portion 620 and the rib portion 630 pass downward through the drain port 743. During use, in the process of the time-delay valve core gradually resetting from a position away from the drain port 743 towards the direction of blocking the drain port 743, initially, water flows through the drain port 743 from the gaps between the rib portions 630, and at this time, the drainage volume is the largest. As the time-delay valve core descends, the first water blocking portion 621 first enters the drain port 743. At this time, there is still a certain gap between the second water blocking portion 622 and the drain port 743. At this time, water is discharged from the gap between the second water blocking portion 622 and the drain port 743 to the water outlet cavity 720, and the discharged water volume becomes smaller than that at the initial time. The time-delay valve core continues to descend, the second water blocking portion 622 enters the drain port 743, and then the plate portion 610 covers the drain port 743, thereby finally blocking the drain port 743. In this way, before blocking the drain port 743, the drainage volume of the drain port 743 decreases in a staged manner, and it will not cause the time-delay valve core to descend too fast and cause water hammer.

[0057] Further, a plurality of flow guiding grooves 623 are provided on the circumferential side wall of the first water blocking portion 621. The flow guiding grooves 623 are arranged along the axial direction of the stepped portion 620. During the process of the time-delay valve core descending relative to the drain port 743, after the first water blocking portion 621 and the second water blocking portion 622 enter the drain port 743 and before the plate portion 610 covers the drain port 743, a small amount of water can flow from the drain port 743 into the drain cavity through the flow guiding grooves 623, thereby avoiding water hammer caused by the plate portion 610 being instantaneously pressed down on the drain port 743 due to excessive water pressure when the first water blocking portion 621 and the second water blocking portion 622 enter the drain port 743.

[0058] Among them, the delay valve core can be installed in the housing 700 for use after adjusting the displacement. It is also possible to adjust the displacement of the delay valve core after installing the delay valve core in the housing 700. In one embodiment, as Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, an adjustment assembly 900 is further installed on the housing 700. A second adjustment member 910 is provided on the adjustment assembly 900. The second adjustment member 910 can be translated to be inserted into the first adjustment member 200 and drive the first adjustment member 200 to rotate. The second adjustment member 910 can be translated away from the first adjustment member 200. In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 900 is located above the delay valve core. In the normal state, the second adjustment member 910 is away from the first adjustment member 200. When it is necessary to adjust the displacement of the water control flow channel 104 of the delay valve core, the second adjustment member 910 is pressed down, the second adjustment member 910 is inserted into the first adjustment member 200, and then the second adjustment member 910 is rotated, thereby driving the first adjustment member 200 to rotate, so as to realize the adjustment of the water control flow channel 104.

[0059] Among them, the adjusting component 900 further includes a base 920 and a rotating member 930. The base 920 is fixed on the housing 700. The rotating member 930 is inserted into the base 920, and the rotating member 930 is threadedly connected to the base 920. The rotating member 930 is threadedly connected to move up and down relative to the base 920 when rotating. A plugging cavity 931 communicating with the pressure relief cavity 730 is formed on the rotating member 930. The second adjusting member 910 is coaxially and movably plugged in the plugging cavity 931. A sealing ring can be arranged between the rotating member 930 and the base 920, and a sealing ring can be arranged between the second adjusting member 910 and the plugging cavity 931, so as to prevent the water in the pressure relief cavity 730 from leaking out through the adjusting component 900. A shoulder 932 is arranged in the plugging cavity 931, and a protruding portion 911 protruding radially is arranged on the second adjusting member 910. The outer diameter of the protruding portion 911 is larger than the inner diameter of the shoulder 932. The second adjusting member 910 can be under the action of the water pressure in the pressure relief cavity 730 so that the protruding portion 911 abuts upward against the shoulder 932 in a direction away from the first adjusting member 200. When the rotating member 930 rotates in one direction relative to the base 920, the rotating member 930 moves downward and abuts downward against the protruding portion 911 through the shoulder 932 to drive the second adjusting member 910 to press downward in the direction of the first adjusting member 200. Under normal conditions, the rotating member 930 moves upward to a position away from the first adjusting member 200. When there is water in the pressure relief cavity 730, the second adjusting member 910 moves upward under the action of the water pressure of the adjusting member to a position away from the first adjusting member 200. When the first adjusting member 200 needs to be rotated, the rotating member 930 is rotated clockwise, and the rotating member 930 drives the second adjusting member 910 to move downward until the second adjusting member 910 is inserted onto the first adjusting member 200. Then the second adjusting member 910 is rotated alone, and further drives the first adjusting member 200 to rotate. When the rotating member 930 rotates counterclockwise and moves upward, the second adjusting member 910 moves upward away from the first adjusting member 200 under the action of the water pressure in the pressure relief cavity 730.

[0060] Further, as Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 14As shown in the figure, an adjustment cavity 230 is provided on the first adjustment member 200. A plurality of protruding strips 231 are provided on the inner wall of the adjustment cavity 230 and are sequentially distributed along the circumference. The protruding strips 231 extend along the axial direction of the first adjustment member 200. A vertically arranged slot 232 is formed by the interval between two adjacent protruding strips 231. A slope 233 is provided at the top of the protruding strip 231, and an insertion strip 940 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the second adjustment member 910. The insertion strip 940 can enter and exit the slot 232. When the second adjustment member 910 descends, the insertion strip 940 is inserted into the adjustment cavity 230 along with the second adjustment member 910. The insertion strip 940 will abut against the slope 233, and then as the second adjustment member 910 descends, the insertion strip 940 slides down along the slope 233 until it enters the slot 232. Through the cooperation of the insertion strip 940 and the slot 232, the second adjustment member 910 can drive the first adjustment member 200 to rotate.
