Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application generally relates to the technical field of household lighting, and in particular, to a panel and a toilet. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the home furnishing field is also rapidly iterating. Commonly used hidden water tanks will use mechanical panels or inductive panels or panels that combine inductive and mechanical. In order to avoid repeated flushing and waste of water resources, the prior art will have a built-in travel switch in the panel. Each time the button is pressed to drain water, the travel switch will trigger the travel switch. The travel switch will feedback the flushing signal to the main control system, and the main control system will process the control signal. However, since the travel switch has a very small stroke and the button stroke is very large. If the button is not pressed in place, the travel switch often fails to be triggered. If the button stroke is too large, it may exceed the limit of the travel switch when triggered, causing damage to the travel switch. Therefore, the method of using a travel switch in the prior art has problems such as the inability to stably feedback the required signal and damage to the travel switch.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0032] The outer frame 10 includes a front face 101 and a back face 102. The front face 101 may be the side facing the user, or the front face 101 may be the side exposed to the outer wall, and the back face 102 is the side opposite to the front face 101. The outer frame 10 is provided with a receiving hole 11. The receiving hole 11 is at least a hole penetrating the front face 101, or the receiving hole 11 may be a through hole penetrating the front face 101 and the back face 102.

The pressing portion 21 is provided in the receiving hole 11, and the pressing portion 21 may be exposed from the receiving hole to the front face 101 for the user to operate.

[0033] The button 20 is provided with a button lift arm 23, which extends toward the swing member 40. The button lift arm 23 can be arranged on the side of the button 20. When the button 20 is pressed in a direction away from the front face 101, the button lift arm 23 moves with the button 20 and pushes the swing member 40 to move, and then the swing member 40 pivots relative to the outer frame 10, and the position of the swing member 40 changes, thereby triggering the micro switch 30 in a linkage manner. When the button 20 is reset, the button lift arm 23 is reset accordingly and stops pushing the swing member 40. The swing member 40 is reset under the action of gravity and / or elastic force, and the swing member is separated from the triggering relationship with the micro switch 30.
