DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a drain controller is shown, including a control part 1, an executive part 2 connected to the drain cover 9 of the drain, and a brake line 3 connecting the control part 1 and the executive part 2. The control part 1 includes a knob 11 and a rotary rod 12. An eccentric handle 13 extends laterally from the lower end of the rotary rod 12. An eccentric shaft 14 is provided at the outer end of the eccentric handle 13. A rocker arm 31 is rotatably installed at the input end of the brake line 3. The rocker arm 31 is rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft 14.

[0021] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the rotary rod 12 is located at the bottom of the knob 11 and extends axially downward. The knob 11 drives the rotary rod 12 to rotate, and the eccentric handle 13 at its lower end drives the swing rod 31 to swing relative to the rotary rod 12. The swing rod 31 then drives the brake line 3 to produce axial telescopic movement, which is transmitted to the actuator 2 to open and close the drain cover. A control unit 1 is added to the drain, which can be independently installed in a user-friendly location. Operations of the control unit 1 are transmitted to the actuator 2 via the brake line 3 to open and close the drain cover. The entire operation process does not require direct contact with the drain cover, which is cleaner and more hygienic.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a control sleeve 15 that limits the connection between the rotating rod 12 and the brake line 3. The control sleeve 15 includes an input hole 151 that can rotatably accommodate the rotating rod 12, a working chamber 152 for the eccentric handle 13 and the rocker rod 31 to swing, and an output hole 153 connected to the brake line 3.

[0023] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the hollow control sleeve 15 is installed beneath the countertop where the control unit 1 is mounted, such as under a washbasin or within a shower column. Its concealed installation does not affect the appearance. The input hole 151 and the output hole 153 can be arranged at right angles, with the intersection forming a working chamber 152. The rotary rod 12 rotates within the input hole 151, and the eccentric handle 13 at its lower end drives the rocker arm 31 to swing within the working chamber 152. The rocker arm 31, in turn, drives the brake cable 3 to move telescopically within the output hole 153. As can be seen, the control sleeve 15 centrally limits the movement of the rotary rod 12, the eccentric handle 13, the rocker arm 31, and the input end of the brake cable 3, making installation more convenient and controllable, and the exercise environment more sealed and reliable.

[0024] Furthermore, the actuator 2 includes a piston 4 and a Z-shaped rotating shaft 5 connected to the output end of the brake line 3. A sliding hole 41 is opened horizontally on the upper edge of the piston 4. The front swing arm 51 of the Z-shaped rotating shaft 5 is movably embedded in the sliding hole 41. The bottom of the drain cover 9 is connected to a push rod 91. The rear swing arm 52 of the Z-shaped rotating shaft 5 can swingably abut against the push rod 91.

[0025] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the operation of the control unit 1 causes the brake line 3 to move telescopically, and the piston 4 at the output end of the brake line 3 moves forward and backward, causing the front swing arm 51 to swing. The front swing arm 51 can slide up and down in the sliding hole 41 and swing slightly for compensation. The swing of the front swing arm 51 drives the Z-shaped rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thereby driving the rear swing arm 52 to swing. When the rear swing arm 52 swings downward, it disengages from the push rod 91, and the push rod 91 and the drain cover 9 fall down to seal the sewer pipe. When the rear swing arm 52 swings upward, it lifts the push rod 91, causing the drain cover 9 to move upward to open the sewer pipe.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes an execution sleeve 21, which includes a piston tube 22 for accommodating the piston 4, an input tube 23 for accommodating the Z-shaped rotating shaft 5, and a main tube 24 for accommodating the swing of the rear swing arm 52 and the push rod 91. A long through hole 221 that can pass through the front swing arm 51 is opened on the piston tube 22.

[0027] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the hollow actuator sleeve 21 is installed beneath the drain cover 9, for example, below a wash basin drain cover 9 or beneath the floor of a shower room, allowing for discreet installation without detracting from the appearance. The piston 4 moves axially within the piston tube 22, while the front swing arm 51 extends downward from the elongated through-hole 221. The Z-shaped shaft 5 rotates within the input tube 23. The intersection of the rear section of the input tube 23 and the main tube 24 is enlarged to accommodate the up and down swing of the rear swing arm 52. The movement of the piston 4, Z-shaped shaft 5, and ejector pin 91 of the actuator sleeve 21 is centrally limited, making installation more convenient and reliable.

[0028] Furthermore, a connecting ear 241 is laterally provided on the outside of the main pipe 24 , and one end of the piston pipe 22 is detachably connected to the connecting ear 241 .

[0029] As shown in the attached drawings, after installation, it is connected to the execution sleeve 21 as a whole, so that the axial movement of the piston 4 and the rotation of the Z-shaped shaft 5 and the rise and fall of the drain cover 9 are limited and controlled, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate.

It is understandable that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the claims and scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
