[0049] A method of using a floor drain with a spring in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] Select a suitable outer ring to adapt to different floor drain holes, and install the floor drain in the floor drain hole. When water enters the floor drain, the water will first pass through the water inlet of the upper cover to reach the lower cover. At this time, based on the pressure of the water, the water will drive the lower cover, the support column, and the upper cover to press down. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state, and the lower cover is pressed against the bottom of the floor drain body, thereby causing water to flow out from the bottom of the floor drain body; when there is no water, the spring returns to its initial state, and the lower cover, the support column, and the upper cover will also return to their initial state. At this time, the lower cover is attached to the bottom of the floor drain body to avoid the influence of groundwater odor; in this embodiment, the upper cover can also hang hair on the connecting rod, thereby reducing the risk of excessive hair entering the floor drain and causing water pipe blockage; finally, the user takes out the upper cover by pinching the cap with his hands, which facilitates cleaning and replacement of the upper cover.

[0051] This utility model features a spring-loaded floor drain with a removable upper cover for easy replacement. The cover's structural design also increases drainage capacity. A spring within the drain body compresses when water flow is high and resets when water flow is low, preventing groundwater odor from affecting the living environment. The drain body also features an external ring that fits snugly around drain holes of varying sizes. Furthermore, this design offers a simple structure, strong practicality, and low production costs, making it suitable for widespread adoption among similar products.
