Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of foot-kick switches, in particular to a toilet foot-kick switch. Background Art

[0002] A kick-operated toilet, also known as a foot-flush toilet, is a toilet design that uses foot movement to control the flush. The purpose of this design is to reduce hand contact and thus improve hygiene, especially in public places.

[0003] A foot switch is usually installed at the bottom of the toilet. By kicking the movable block with your foot, the sensor inside the foot switch is triggered to realize the switch function. The foot switch is also equipped with reset components such as springs. Therefore, after a person kicks the movable block to trigger the sensor, the reset component can separate the movable block from the sensor to prevent the sensor from remaining in the triggered position.

[0004] The existing foot switch is to trigger the sensor by directly kicking the movable block. Therefore, the force transmitted by the person when kicking is transmitted to the sensor through the movable block. The lack of buffering components makes the foot switch easily damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a toilet foot kick switch, including a connecting tube 1, a pressing block 2 is provided inside the connecting tube 1, a sensing element 6 is inserted inside the connecting tube 1, a fixed threaded tube 4 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting tube 1, a buffer assembly 3 is provided on the side of the pressing block 2 away from the connecting tube 1, and a waterproof assembly 5 is provided on the end of the connecting tube 1 away from the pressing block 2. The buffer assembly 3 includes a connecting block 305 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressing block 2, a buffer spring 303 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting block 305, and a pressing piece 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring away from the connecting block 305. Three spring pieces 304 are fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 305 close to the pressing piece 301, one end of the spring piece 304 abuts against the pressing piece 301, and a connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing piece 301 close to the connecting block 305, and one end of the connecting rod 302 passes through the interior of the buffer spring 303 and is inserted into the interior of the connecting block 305.

[0030] Specifically, a spring for resetting the pressing block 2 is provided inside the connecting tube 1, a sliding groove is provided at one end of the pressing piece 301 close to the connecting block 305, one end of the spring piece 304 slides in the sliding groove, and a socket is provided on one side of the connecting block 305 close to the connecting rod 302, and one end of the connecting rod 302 is inserted into the socket.

[0031] When the cam 304 is in the closed position, the cam 304 is in the closed position, and the cam 304 is in the open position, so that the cam 304 can move in the closed position.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5, which is the second embodiment of the present utility model, and is based on the previous embodiment. The waterproof component 5 includes a limiting cylinder 501 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cylinder 1, and a rotating block 504 is provided on the outer surface of the limiting cylinder 501. The side of the rotating block 504 close to the limiting cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to an extrusion piece 503, and the inner wall of the extrusion piece 503 is fixedly connected to a plurality of limiting blocks 506. The side of the extrusion piece 503 close to the connecting cylinder 1 is provided with a sealing ring 502.

[0034] Specifically, the outer surface of the limiting cylinder 501 is provided with a plurality of J-shaped limiting grooves, in which the limiting block 506 slides, and the outer surface of the rotating block 504 is provided with an insertion port 505 having the same cross section as one end of the sensing element 6 .

[0035] Furthermore, after fixing the connecting tube 1 to the outer surface of the toilet by fixing the threaded tube 4, the sealing ring 502 is inserted into the outer surface of the limiting tube 501, and then the rotating block 504 is inserted into the J-shaped limiting groove on the outer surface of the limiting tube 501 through the limiting block 506 on the inner wall of the extrusion piece 503. The material of the sealing ring 502 is soft rubber material, and the width of the sealing ring 502 exceeds the internal rotating part of the J-shaped limiting groove, so that when the rotating block 504 has not reached the rotating position in the J-shaped limiting groove, the extrusion piece 503 has already abutted against the sealing ring 502, and by continuing to press the rotating block 504, the sealing ring 502 is deformed, so that the limiting block 506 reaches the rotating position in the J-shaped limiting groove, and then the rotating block 504 is rotated, thereby driving the extrusion piece 503 and the limiting block 506 to rotate, and after the limiting block 506 is rotated to the rotating position in the J-shaped limiting groove, It plays the role of fixing the limit block 506 and has an extrusion and sealing effect on the sealing ring 502. The diameters of the extrusion sheet 503 and the sealing ring 502 are larger than the diameter of the limit tube 501, so that the extrusion sheet 503 can squeeze the sealing ring 502 to achieve a sealing effect on the connecting tube 1, thereby preventing water from entering and causing damage to the sensing element 6 in the connecting tube 1. The limit tube 501 is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 1, and the corresponding limit grooves on the outer surface of the limit tube 501 cooperate with the corresponding limit block 506, so that the plug interface 505 on the outer surface of the rotating block 504 can correspond to the sensing element 6 in the connecting tube 1. One end of the sensing element 6 does not contact the plug interface 505, and when the external wire plug is connected to the sensing element 6 through the plug interface 505, the connection position of the wire plug and the plug interface 505 is tight enough to prevent water stains from seeping into the connecting tube 1 from the position of the plug interface 505.

[0036] Working principle: To install the toilet kick switch, insert one end of the connecting tube 1 into the hole reserved on the toilet, and then install the fixed threaded tube 4 to the connecting tube 1 from the inside of the toilet, and then put the sealing ring 502 on the outer surface of the limiting tube 501, and then insert the rotating block 504 into the J-shaped limiting groove on the outer surface of the limiting tube 501 through the limiting block 506 on the inner wall of the extrusion piece 503. When the extrusion piece 503 contacts the sealing ring 502, it continues to squeeze the rotating block 504 to deform the sealing ring 502, thereby driving the limiting block 506 to reach the rotating position in the J-shaped limiting groove, and then rotate the rotating block 504 to fix the limiting block 506 inside the J-shaped limiting groove, thereby achieving a waterproof seal inside the connecting tube 1, and then insert another connecting line into the plug hole, The plug-in hole corresponds to one end of the sensing element 6, thereby connecting with the sensing element 6 to realize the installation of the foot switch. When using the foot switch, by kicking the pressing piece 301, the connecting rod 302 is driven to move in the socket inside the connecting block 305, and the elastic force of the buffer spring 303 and the shrapnel 304 plays a buffering role on the pressing piece 301. The connecting block 305 drives the pressing block 2 to move in the connecting tube 1, so that the pressing block 2 triggers the sensing element 6, thereby realizing the switch. After the kick is completed, the pressing block 2 is reset under the action of the spring set inside the connecting tube 1, and the pressing piece 301 is reset under the action of the shrapnel 304 and the spring, so that the foot switch has a buffering effect when kicking, avoiding damage to the internal structure due to excessive kicking force.
