One end of the metal connecting rod is provided with a threaded hole for connecting with the external valve body, the other end of the metal connecting rod is fixedly connected with the metal stepping plate, the periphery of the metal tread cover plate is bent downward to form a bending part for fixing the metal stepping plate, and a relief opening for cooperating with the metal connecting rod is opened on the bending part on one side of the metal tread cover plate. A support column for pressing against the metal tread cover plate is arranged on the surface of the metal stepping plate.
[0006] Preferably, a cavity is formed between the metal tread cover plate bent downward around its periphery and the metal stepping plate, and the support column is placed in the cavity and integrally formed with the metal stepping plate.
[0007] Preferably, the support column protrudes from the surface of the metal stepping plate.
[0008] Preferably, there are multiple support columns, which are spaced apart in the cavity. The upper end of the support column presses against the lower end surface of the metal tread cover plate, and the lower end of the support column is integrally formed with the metal stepping plate.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end surface of the support column is an arc surface.
[0010] Preferably, an anti-slip structure is arranged on the surface of the metal tread cover plate.
[0011] Preferably, the anti-skid structure of the utility model comprises an anti-skid protrusion which is protruded upward from the treading surface of the metal tread cover plate and is used to increase the friction force.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: the metal tread cover plate of the foot pedal in the utility model is fixed to the metal tread plate by stamping assembly, and a support column is added between the metal tread plate and the metal tread cover plate, so that when the foot pedal is stepped on, it is not easy to cause the metal tread cover plate to dent or collapse, etc., which has the effect of increasing the overall structural strength, is not only simple to manufacture, but also has low manufacturing cost and is light.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a foot pedal for a flushing valve includes a metal connecting rod 1 for connecting with an external valve body, a metal pedal 2 for being stepped on to drive the external valve rod to act, and a metal pedal cover 3 for sleeving the metal pedal 2. One end of the metal connecting rod 1 is provided with a threaded hole 10 for connecting with the external valve body. The other end of the metal connecting rod 1 is fixedly connected to the metal pedal 2. The four sides of the metal pedal cover 3 are bent downward to form a bending part 4 for fixing the metal pedal 2. Among them, a relief opening 5 for cooperating with the metal connecting rod 1 is opened on the bending part on one side of the metal pedal cover 3. The relief opening 5 just clips on both sides of the metal connecting rod 1 to make the assembly of the metal pedal cover firm. A support column 6 for pressing against the metal pedal cover 3 is provided on the surface of the metal pedal 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, in order to not only reduce material waste but also enhance the structural strength, a cavity 7 is formed between the metal pedal cover 3 bent downward at its four sides and the metal pedal 2. The support column 6 is placed in the cavity and is integrally formed with the metal pedal 2.
[0024] Specifically, there are a plurality of support columns 6. Each support column 6 protrudes from the surface of the metal pedal 2. The support columns 6 are spaced apart in the cavity. The upper end of the support column 6 presses against the lower end surface of the metal pedal cover 3. The lower end of the support column is integrally formed with the metal pedal 2. The upper end surface of the support column 6 is an arc surface.
[0025] It should be noted that the surface of the metal tread plate 3 is provided with an anti-slip structure, and the anti-slip structure includes anti-slip protrusions 8 that protrude upward from the tread surface of the metal tread plate 3 for increasing friction. When in use, it is not easy for the feet to slip when stepping on the pedal, and it is more convenient to smoothly control the flushing of the flushing valve.
