[0020] To further illustrate the embodiments, the present utility model provides accompanying drawings. These accompanying drawings are part of the disclosure of the present utility model, mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principle of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible embodiments and the advantages of the present utility model. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0021] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present utility model discloses a water tank control panel, which is installed on the wall to control the flushing of a concealed water tank and can also be used for the flushing of other water tanks. The water tank control panel includes a panel bracket 1 and a panel body 2. The back of the panel bracket 1 faces the inside of the wall, the front of the panel bracket 1 faces the direction of the panel body 2, and the panel body 2 is located in the direction where the front of the panel bracket 1 is located relative to the panel bracket 1. A hanging part 21 is provided on the lower side of the panel body 2, and a groove part 11 corresponding to the hanging part 21 is provided on the panel bracket 1. The hanging part 21 is a trapezoidal structure with an inclined surface, the groove part 11 is a rectangular groove structure, and the hanging part 21 and the groove part 11 cooperate to form a snap-fit.
[0022] The front of the panel bracket 1 is provided with an elastic member 3. This elastic member 3 is a slender metal member with a certain degree of elasticity. Mounting portions 31 are provided at each end of the elastic member 3, and the elastic member 3 is mounted to the panel bracket 1 via these mounting portions 31. The upper side of the panel body 2 is provided with a hook portion 22, and the elastic member 3 is provided with a hook portion 32. The hook portion 32 engages with the hook portion 22, forming a snap fit between the elastic member 3 and the panel body 2.
[0023] The inverted hook portion 22 of the panel body 2 is a triangular structure with an inclined surface. When installing the panel body 2, the hook portion 21 on the lower side is first engaged with the groove portion 11 of the panel bracket 1 and forms a certain angle with the panel bracket 1 under the action of the inclined surface of the trapezoidal structure; then the upper side of the panel body 2 is pressed toward the panel bracket 1, and under the elastic action of the elastic member 3, the hook portion 32 of the elastic member 3 enters the inverted hook portion 22 of the panel body 2, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the panel body 2.
[0024] It should be noted that the up and down directions described in this manual only refer to the directions corresponding to the drawings, and do not represent the directions during actual installation and use. During installation, the upper side described in this manual can face any direction of up, down, left, or right.
[0025] See Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the panel body 2, the panel bracket 1 is provided with a limiting structure 10, and the body 30 of the elastic member 3 is located in the limiting structure 10 and is limited. The elastic member 3 is provided with an operating part 33 protruding from the limiting structure 10, and the operating part 33 is used for the user to apply force to move the body 30 of the elastic member 3 away from the limiting structure 10.
[0026] The present invention provides an operating portion 33 protruding from the retaining structure 10 on the elastic member 3, allowing the user to apply force to the elastic member 3 to pull the body 30 of the elastic member 3 away from the retaining structure 10, thereby releasing the retaining structure 10 from the elastic member 3. This allows the elastic member 3 to be pulled so that the mounting portions 31 at both ends are separated from the panel bracket 1, thereby improving the convenience of removing the elastic member 3 and facilitating its removal and replacement. If the operating portion 33 is not provided, the body 30 of the elastic member 3 is completely confined within the retaining structure 10. Since the elastic member 3 is a slender metal member, its body 30 is naturally also slender, making it difficult to apply force to it to separate it from the retaining structure, and increasing the difficulty of removing the elastic member 3.
[0027] See Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the operating portion 33 is formed by bending a metal member, so that the operating portion 33 forms a three-fold structure protruding relative to one side of the body 30 of the elastic member 3 .
[0028] See Figure 6As shown, in another embodiment, the operating portion 33 is formed by bending a metal piece, so that the operating portion 33 forms an arc-shaped structure protruding from one side of the main body 30 of the elastic member 3.
[0029] In other embodiments, the operating portion 33 formed by bending a metal piece is not limited to a three-fold structure, and may also be a two-fold V-shaped structure.
[0030] Whether it is a three-fold structure, an arc-shaped structure or a two-fold structure, the operating portion 33 can form a recess for the user's hand or tool to be inserted therein, further reducing the difficulty of the main body 30 of the elastic member 3 disengaging from the limiting structure 10 and improving the convenience of disassembling and replacing the elastic member 3. In addition, the operating portion 33 formed by bending or folding a metal piece has a simple structure, is easy to process, and has a low cost.
[0031] Refer to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the mounting portion 31 is formed by bending a metal piece. The panel bracket 1 is provided with a plug-in portion 12, and the plug-in portion 12 is provided with a plug-in through hole 120. The mounting portion 31 of the elastic member 3 passes through the plug-in through hole 120 and is snap-connected to the end face of the plug-in portion 12 to form a mounting limit. The protruding direction of the operating portion 33 relative to the main body 30 of the elastic member 3 is the same as the extending direction of the plug-in through hole 120. The protruding direction of the operating portion 33 relative to the main body 30 of the elastic member 3 being the same as the extending direction of the plug-in through hole 120 enables the user to apply a force in the protruding direction of the operating portion 33 to pull out the mounting portion 31 of the elastic member 3 from the plug-in through hole 120, and the force applied by the user in the protruding direction of the operating portion 33 is more in line with the conventional force application direction, further improving the convenience of disassembling the elastic member 3.
[0032] The hook portion 32 is formed by bending a metal piece. The hook portion 32 protrudes from one side relative to the main body 30 of the elastic member, and the protruding direction of the hook portion 32 is the same as that of the operating portion 33. The hook portion 32 is provided on the side of the mounting portion 31 away from the end of the elastic member, so that the length of the metal piece on the side of the mounting portion 31 away from the end of the elastic member is longer, that is, the mounting portion 31 has a larger deformation space, can be inserted into the plug-in through hole 120 and form a reliable limit with the end face of the plug-in portion 12 by means of the elastic deformation of the metal piece, and can also be smoothly pulled out from the plug-in through hole 120 by means of the elastic deformation of the metal piece.
[0033] In this embodiment, the operating portion 33 protrudes from the main body 30 of the elastic member 3 toward one side of the panel bracket 1 along the front surface of the panel bracket 1, more specifically, protrudes toward the upper side of the panel bracket 1. The panel bracket 1 is provided with a relief portion 13, and the operating portion 33 is arranged in the relief portion 13. The operating portion 33 extends along the front surface of the panel bracket 1 toward one side, and does not occupy the space in the thickness direction of the panel bracket 1, that is, does not affect the installation between the panel bracket 1 and the panel body 2, and the front surface of the panel bracket 1 can also provide a supporting force for the operating portion 33, which is beneficial to the stability of the elastic member 3.
[0034] See Figure 4 As shown, specifically: the front of the panel bracket 1 is provided with a first limiting ridge 14 and a second limiting ridge 15 extending along the length direction of the elastic member 3, the first limiting ridge 14 and the second limiting ridge 15 are arranged opposite to each other, the first limiting ridge 14 is provided with a plurality of first limiting protrusions 141 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the elastic member 3 toward the second limiting ridge 15, the second limiting ridge 15 is provided with a plurality of second limiting protrusions 151 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the elastic member 3 toward the first limiting ridge 14, a part of the elastic member 3 is provided between the first limiting protrusion 141 and the second limiting protrusion 151, so that the first limiting protrusion 141 and the second limiting protrusion 151 form a limiting structure 10, and the giving portion 13 is a notch provided on the first limiting ridge 14.
[0035] The operating portion 33 of the above embodiment is formed by bending or folding a slender, straight metal part. In other embodiments, the operating portion 33 may also be a structure in which a straight metal part protrudes outward, that is, the operating portion 33 is a structure formed during the metal part molding process.
[0036] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] See Figure 2 As shown, when installing the elastic member 3, both ends of the elastic member 3 are respectively inserted into the plug-in through hole 120 of the panel bracket 1 until the mounting portion 31 passes through the plug-in through hole 120 and forms a mounting limit with the end face of the plug-in portion 12, and then the body 30 of the elastic member 3 is pressed into the limiting structure 10, so that the operating portion 33 is located in the yield portion 13 and abuts against the panel bracket 1.
[0038] When removing the elastic member 3 , the operating portion 33 is pulled to separate the body 30 of the elastic member 3 from the limiting structure 10 , and then force is applied in the protruding direction of the operating portion 33 to deform the mounting portion 31 and disengage the mounting portion 31 from the insertion hole 120 , thereby removing the elastic member 3 .
[0039] See Figure 3 As shown, when installing the panel body 2, the hook portion 21 on its lower side is first engaged with the groove portion 11 of the panel bracket 1 and forms a certain angle with the panel bracket 1 under the action of the inclined surface of the trapezoidal structure; then the upper side of the panel body 2 is pressed toward the panel bracket 1, and under the elastic action of the elastic member 3, the hook portion 32 of the elastic member 3 enters the inverted hook portion 22 of the panel body 2, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the panel body 2.
[0040] When disassembling the panel body 2, apply force to the upper side of the panel body 2. By virtue of the elastic deformation of the elastic member 3, the hook portion 32 of the elastic member 3 is disengaged from the barb portion 22 of the panel body 2, so as to disassemble the upper side of the panel body 2; then pull the upper side of the panel body 2 away from the panel bracket 1 to form a certain angle between its lower side and the panel bracket 1, and pull the panel body 2 downward to disengage the hooking portion 21 on its lower side from the groove portion 11 of the panel bracket 1, thereby completing the disassembly of the panel body 2.
[0041] Although the present utility model is specifically shown and described in combination with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining parts not described are the prior art, and any changes made to the present utility model in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model defined by the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
