Some electronic toilets even include a third stage of water output - replenishing water, which can replenish the water in the water storage bay after the main flushing. The switches of the above-mentioned electronic toilets are mostly electrically controlled to achieve three-stage independent water output. However, when a power outage or electronic component damage occurs, the toilet cannot be flushed, which seriously affects the use of the toilet by consumers. For this reason, the present invention provides a hydraulic switch structure that can achieve multiple stages of independent water output with a mechanical structure to avoid the problem of being unable to flush when a power outage or electronic component damage occurs.

The second switch assembly 3 is mounted on the switch body 1 , and controls the connection state of the water passage 13 , and can control the water passage 13 to supply water to the first pressure relief chamber 15 .
[0030] The first switch assembly 2 includes a driving member 21, a switching member 22 and a first elastic member 23. The driving member 21 and the first pressure relief chamber 15 are both cylindrical, and the driving member 21 is slidably installed in the first pressure relief chamber 15 in a piston manner. Preferably, an annular step is provided on the periphery of the driving member 21, and a V-shaped sealing ring 211 is installed at one end of the annular step facing the pressure relief chamber, so that the driving member 21 forms a piston in the first pressure relief chamber 15.

One of the driving part 212 or the driven part 221 is provided with a guide profile 4, and the other is provided with a guide protrusion 5 moving along the guide profile 4. During the movement of the driving member 21, the driving part 212 drives the driven part 221 to swing back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the driving member 21 through the guide profile 4 and the guide protrusion 5. The switching member 22 forms a switching action of opening and blocking the first connecting hole 151 through the reciprocating swing, so that the first back pressure chamber 14 can be opened and closed for a preset number of times in one movement of the driving member 21, and the effect of multiple independent water discharges is achieved.
[0033] The guide profile 4 is a groove, or the guide profile 4 is a side wall of the driving part 212 or the driven part 221. The guide profile 4 is composed of a plurality of concave tracks 41 and convex tracks 42 in sequence along the moving direction of the driving member 21, so that when the guide profile 4 and the guide protrusion 5 move in a relative direction parallel to the movement of the driving member 21, the guide profile 4 and the guide protrusion 5 will also simultaneously swing relative to the moving direction of the driving member 21. As in the present embodiment, in order to reduce the complexity of the structure and the difficulty of molding, the guide protrusion 5 is arranged on the driven part 221 in a tooth shape, and the guide profile 4 is arranged on the periphery of the driving member 21 in a tooth groove shape and has three teeth, so that the guide protrusion 5 can have three left and right swinging actions, thereby realizing three independent water discharges. In addition, a second elastic member 24 is further provided in the driving member 21, and the second elastic member 24 pushes the driven part 221 to be close to the driving part 212, thereby improving the guiding effect of the guide profile 4 on the guide protrusion 5, and also improving the sealing degree of the switching member 22 when blocking the first connecting hole 151. Preferably, the first elastic member 23 and the second elastic member 24 are both compressed springs, the first elastic member 23 is arranged in the retreat area 154 of the first pressure relief chamber 15, and the second elastic member 24 is arranged in the pressure relief area 153 of the first pressure relief chamber 15.

[0035] In one embodiment, in order to reduce the overflow water discharged to the outside, the other end of the first drainage hole 152 is connected to the water outlet channel 12 to allow the overflow water to return to the water channel. In addition, in order to prevent the reset speed of the driving member 21 from being too fast, the drainage speed of the first drainage hole 152 to the first pressure relief chamber 15 is lower than the water inlet speed of the water passage 13 to the first pressure relief chamber 15, thereby controlling the delay effect of each independent water outlet.
[0036] On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to make the second switch assembly 3 more convenient to use, in one embodiment, the water passage 13 is also designed as a pilot valve structure, specifically: The water passage 13 is divided into a water inlet section 131 and a water outlet section 132.

The switch body 1 also includes a second back pressure chamber 17, a second pressure relief chamber 18, and a second blocking member 19. The water outlet of the water inlet section 131 and the water inlet of the water outlet section 132 are arranged close to each other and are both connected to the second back pressure chamber 17. The second back pressure chamber 17 and the second pressure relief chamber 18 are provided with a second connecting hole 181, and the second pressure relief chamber 18 is also provided with a second drainage hole 182.

The second blocking member 19 is also provided with a second overflow hole 191 connecting the two areas within the water outlet range of the water inlet section 131. The water inlet section 131 and the water outlet section 132 are connected or blocked by the movement of the second blocking member 19. The second switch assembly 3 is installed in the second pressure relief chamber 18, and controls the connecting state of the second connecting hole 181, so as to control the opening or closing state of the second back pressure chamber 17, and further control the connecting state of the water passage 13.
[0037] As for the second switch assembly 3, in one embodiment, the second switch assembly 3 includes a pressure relief member 31, a third elastic member 32 and a switch member 33. The pressure relief member 31 is movably installed in the second pressure relief chamber 18, and is provided with a blocking rod 311 inserted from the second connecting hole 181 into the second back pressure chamber 17, and a plug 312 is provided at the end of the blocking rod 311, and the plug 312 is further inserted into the second back pressure chamber 17 through the blocking rod 311 to open the second connecting hole 181, and the third elastic member 32 provides a reset force for the pressure relief member 31 to move away from the second connecting hole 181, and the plug 312 blocks the second connecting hole 181 through the reset action of the blocking rod 311 withdrawing from the second back pressure chamber 17.
[0038] One end of the switch member 33 is arranged in the second pressure relief chamber 18, and pushes the blocking rod 311 to be further inserted into the second back pressure chamber 17. Optionally, the switch member 33 is an airbag / hydraulic device, which is installed in the second pressure relief chamber 18 and is located on the side of the second pressure relief member 31 away from the second back pressure chamber 17. The airbag / hydraulic device is provided with a medium flow hole 331 extending to the outside of the switch body 1. The airbag or hydraulic device expands by inputting air / liquid, and pushes the pressure relief member 31 to approach the back pressure chamber. Furthermore, a receiving groove is provided at one end of the pressure relief member 31 away from the back pressure chamber, and the driving member 21 is a bellows-shaped airbag, one end of which is installed in the receiving groove, and the other end forms a cover of the pressure relief chamber.
[0039] For the above-mentioned pilot valve structure, the water pressure difference at both ends of the plugging member is used to control the state of the plugging member. The principle belongs to the prior art and will not be described here. In order to play a better switch role, the water inlet, water outlet and plugging member in the first back pressure chamber 14 and the second back pressure chamber 17 can adopt the following structure: the water outlet is arranged around the water inlet. The plugging member is an elastic rubber pad, and the peripheral part is fixedly installed on the peripheral wall of the back pressure chamber by pressing, and the middle part simultaneously blocks or opens the water outlet and the water inlet. A guide rod passing through the overflow hole is provided in the back pressure chamber, and the gap between the guide rod and the overflow hole forms an overflow channel, so that the overflow hole can be enlarged, reducing the difficulty of molding, and it also has a guiding function.

At this time, the blocking rod 311 opens the second back pressure chamber 17, allowing the water passage 13 to communicate, and water is injected into the first pressure relief chamber 15. Under the action of hydraulic force, the driving member 21 is pushed and moved, and separated from the switching member 22. At this time, the guide protrusion 5 is at the outermost tooth of the guide profile 4, thereby driving the switching member 22 to swing and open the first connecting hole 151, thereby opening the first back pressure chamber 14. At this time, the water inlet channel 11 is connected to the water outlet channel 12, and the water outlet channel 12 discharges water for the first time; The pressure relief member 31 is reset under the action of the third elastic member 32, the second back pressure chamber 17 is closed again, the first pressure relief chamber 15 no longer enters water, and water is drained through the first drain hole 152. At the same time, the driving member 21 is gradually reset under the action of the first elastic member 23, and the guide protrusion 5 comes into the tooth groove at the outermost end of the guide profile 4, thereby driving the switching member 22 to swing and close the first connecting hole 151, thereby closing the first back pressure chamber 14. At this time, the water inlet channel 11 and the water outlet channel 12 are blocked, and the water outlet channel 12 stops flowing for the first time. The first pressure relief chamber 15 continues to drain water through the first drain hole 152, and the driving member 21 continues to reset under the action of the first elastic member 23, and the guide protrusion 5 comes to the tooth in the middle of the guide profile 4, thereby driving the switching member 22 to swing and open the first connecting hole 151, thereby opening the first back pressure chamber 14.

At this time, the water inlet channel 11 and the water outlet channel 12 are blocked, and the water outlet channel 12 stops water for the second time; The first pressure relief chamber 15 continues to drain water through the first drain hole 152, and the driving member 21 continues to reset under the action of the first elastic member 23, and the guide protrusion 5 comes to the innermost tooth of the guide profile 4, thereby driving the switching member 22 to swing and open the first connecting hole 151, thereby opening the first back pressure chamber 14. At this time, the water inlet channel 11 is connected to the water outlet channel 12, and the water outlet channel 12 discharges water for the third time; The first pressure relief chamber 15 continues to drain water through the first drain hole 152, and the driving member 21 continues to reset under the action of the first elastic member 23. The guide protrusion 5 comes into the innermost tooth groove of the guide profile 4, thereby driving the switching member 22 to swing and close the first connecting hole 151, and then close the first back pressure chamber 14. At this time, the water inlet channel 11 and the water outlet channel 12 are blocked, and the water outlet channel 12 stops water for the third time.
