Background Art

[0002] At present, the known foot-controlled valve (or foot valve, or foot-operated delay valve) is characterized by an open structure in which the contact (valve stem), valve cover, and valve seat (body) are connected in parallel and do not contain each other. For example, in patent ZL201410772662.0, its contact (valve stem), valve cover, and valve seat (body) are connected in parallel and do not contain each other. Due to this structure, it has problems such as unsafe use, easy damage, inconvenient maintenance, and unsightly appearance. Therefore, it is difficult to popularize and use foot-controlled valves (foot valves, foot-operated delay valves) in family kitchens or public toilets, and it is difficult to play the role of foot-controlled valves in saving water in family kitchens or public toilets, ensuring hygiene, and preventing contact infection. In order to overcome the problems of unsafe use, easy damage, inconvenient maintenance, and unsightly appearance of existing foot-controlled valves (foot valves, foot-operated delay valves), which are not conducive to popularization and use, the present invention is proposed.
