Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a foot-operated flush valve for a toilet, belonging to the technical field of foot-operated flush valves. Background Art

[0002] At present, many people are reluctant to touch the flush valve with their hands in public toilets, so foot-operated flush valves came into being. The foot-operated control valve does not require hand contact with any part of the flush valve, which can effectively avoid cross-infection of bacteria. The foot-operated control valve can be stepped on normally for more than 200,000 times, is durable and has a long service life. It uses a hydraulic foot control switch and does not require power supply, so it is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and safe. The equipment has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble, and can be disassembled, cleaned and maintained by yourself without affecting the design environment.

[0003] For example, the announcement number CN207729027U discloses a foot-operated flush valve comprising a three-way main body, wherein the upper end of the three-way main body serves as a water inlet, the lower end serves as a water outlet, and the side end serves as a mounting port for a foot pedal assembly. A valve core housing and a ball valve are mounted in the water inlet. The valve core housing comprises an upper cavity and a lower cavity, wherein one side of the upper cavity is provided with a water inlet, and the sidewall of the lower cavity is provided with an exhaust groove. The ball valve is inserted into the lower cavity of the valve core housing, and a first spring is provided between the ball valve and the top of the lower cavity of the valve core housing. The top of the valve core housing is connected to a water inlet connector via a first fixing nut via a thread, and a first gasket is provided between the water inlet connector and the valve core housing. A second gasket is fixed to the lower portion of the ball valve via a water outlet notch, and the second gasket is located in the through hole between the upper and lower cavities of the valve core housing. The water outlet is threadedly connected to a second nut. This utility model can automatically remove blockages such as scale through the drain groove, preventing the ball valve from clogging and affecting normal use of the product.

[0004] The common foot-operated flush valve used in the bathroom is used to flush the water without touching the flush valve with hands. However, the pedal collides with the ground after long-term use and lacks a buffer device, making it prone to damage. In addition, when stepping on the pedal, it is easy to slip and cause the foot to fall off, posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

When in use, the limit plate 4 is first manually moved through the driving component 3, and the distance between the limit plates 4 is adjusted according to the age of the user, so as to limit the feet of users of different age groups and prevent the feet from sliding with the pedal 2 during use. When the user steps on the pedal 2 to flush, the buffer component 6 buffers the impact force brought by the pedal 2 to avoid damage to the pedal 2 after a long period of collision with the ground, thereby improving its service life. The anti-slip pad 7 prevents the user's feet from sliding up and down.

[0024] The driving component 3 includes a bidirectional screw 301, a sliding groove 302 is opened in the middle position of the upper end of the pedal 2, and a sliding block 303 is symmetrically clamped inside the sliding groove 302. The sliding block 303 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 4, and the sliding block 303 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 301. A handwheel 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional screw 301. When in use, the bidirectional screw 301 is manually rotated by the handwheel 304, driving the sliding block 303 to move in the sliding groove 302, and the limit plate 4 moves accordingly.

[0025] The buffer assembly 6 includes a guide rod 601 and a buffer plate 603 with a buffer pad 602 installed at one end. A square groove 604 is symmetrically opened on the upper end of the support plate 5. The guide rod 601 is fixedly installed in the square groove 604. A square block 605 is clamped in the square groove 604. The square block 605 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 601. One end of the square block 605 is hinged to a connecting plate 606. One end of the connecting plate 606 is hinged to the buffer plate 603.
