The driving rod 10 is arranged horizontally, one end of the driving rod is the driving end 8, the other end is the mounting end 5, and the middle is the driving rod body 6. The driving end 8 is placed in the positioning nut 9, and the outer diameter matches the inner cavity of the positioning nut. The end face of the driving end 8 is the driving plane. When there is no external force, the elastic force of the return spring 16 makes the transmission panel 18 fit the driving plane; the mounting end 5 is cylindrical, and the circumferential surface of the mounting end is provided with an annular locking groove 21; a mounting hole for inserting the mounting end is provided above the center line 22 of the counterweight block, and the counterweight block in the figure is a rectangular parallelepiped, and a rectangular parallelepiped is preferred; the counterweight block 3 is sleeved outside the mounting end 5, which is equivalent to the counterweight block being rotatably arranged at the mounting end, then the counterweight block 3 is lighter above the driving rod 10, and the part below the driving rod is heavier, so that after the counterweight block is rotated, the counterweight block is heavier The part will still be at the bottom, and the lighter part will face upward, automatically returning to the initial state; the connection between the mounting end 5 and the driving rod body 6 forms a step, the outer diameter of the driving rod body is larger than the outer diameter of the mounting end, and the mounting end 5 is inserted into the mounting hole until the driving rod body 6 blocks the counterweight 3, so that the axial position of the counterweight is positioned, which is convenient for the subsequent installation; the top of the counterweight is provided with a threaded hole connected to the mounting hole, that is, the counterweight above the driving rod, and the threaded hole corresponds to the locking groove 21; the bottom of the pedal 2 is provided with a bolt 4 matching the threaded hole, the bolt extends into the locking groove 21, the pedal is installed on the top of the counterweight, that is, the top of the lighter end, also called the initial state, the counterweight makes the pedal return to the initial state after each use; the bolt 4 prevents the counterweight 3 from axially moving relative to the driving rod 10, and can only rotate or swing axially. The surface of the pedal 2 is provided with anti-skid patterns to increase the friction of stepping; the pedal is tilted relative to the counterweight, and the pedal is slightly tilted, which is more convenient for users to step on it.In order to make the drive rod 10 swing stably, the connection between the drive rod body and the drive end is a spherical portion 7, the surface of the spherical portion is a spherical surface, the spherical portion 7 is in sliding contact with the cap opening 19 of the positioning nut 9, and the diameter of the spherical portion matches the diameter of the cap opening.

[0025] When in use, the pedal 2 is stepped on, the mounting end of the driving rod 10 swings downward, the spherical portion 7 slides relative to the cap opening 19, the driving end 8 of the driving rod overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 16, tilts into the valve body, and pushes the push rod 20 to move along the guide channel toward the valve stem. At this time, the return spring is compressed, the push rod presses the valve stem 24, and the valve opens; the pedal 2 is released, the elastic force of the return spring 16 pushes the push rod 20 to reset, the push rod presses the driving end 8, so that its transmission panel fits the driving plane, and the driving rod 10 swings upward to reset; after each step on the pedal, even if the pedal 2 and the counterweight block 3 rotate relative to the driving rod or the driving rod rotates, the heavier end of the counterweight block automatically faces downward due to gravity, and the lighter end faces upward, and finally the pedal returns to its initial state.
