[0030] The utility model, through the design of the back-pressure chamber 5, can effectively utilize water pressure to control the closure of the valve disc 4, reducing unnecessary liquid waste and achieving a water-saving effect. The design of the back-pressure chamber 5 also helps to reduce the noise generated by the sudden release of water pressure, making the flushing process of the toilet 9 quieter. Through the coordinated use of the valve stem 8 and the valve disc 4 and other structures, the pressure relief of the liquid can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the flushing force of the toilet 9, improving the flushing efficiency, and reducing the probability of flush valve failure due to mechanical failure. The various components are designed to be separated, and if the valve stem 8 or valve disc 4 are damaged, they can be removed and replaced separately.

[0031] The back pressure control cover 3 is provided with a stepped hole 31 for installing the valve stem 8. The valve stem 8 moves up and down along the stepped hole 31. It also includes a retaining ring 32 covering the stepped hole 31. A first sealing ring 33 is provided in the stepped hole 31. The first sealing ring 33 seals against the valve stem 8. The first sealing ring 33 is clamped between the retaining ring 32 and the back pressure control cover 3 to prevent liquid from leaking from this position.

[0032] A spring 81 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem 8 . The spring 81 is disposed in the step hole 31 . The spring 81 is used to keep the valve stem 8 blocking the pressure relief channel 211 .

[0033] The valve stem 8 is sleeved with a sealing gasket 82, and the valve stem 8 abuts the pressure relief channel 211 through the sealing gasket 82. Specifically, the pressure relief channel 211 is provided with a raised surface 212 protruding from the upper end surface of the pressure relief hole 22, and the sealing gasket 82 of the valve stem 8 blocks the pressure relief channel 211 by supporting the raised surface 212.

[0034] The sealing gasket 82 is preferably made of rubber to ensure the sealing effect of the pressure relief channel 211.

[0035] There are multiple pressure relief holes 22 , which are arranged in a circular array around the pressure relief channel 211 to increase the flow rate of the liquid.

[0036] It also includes a driver 6 fixed to the back pressure control cover 3, and a driving rod 7 embedded in the back pressure control cover 3, the other end of the driving rod 7 is connected to the valve stem 8, the driver 6 drives the driving rod 7, so that the driving rod 7 drives the valve stem 8 to move up and down, so that one end of the valve stem 8 can move between the position of blocking and opening the pressure relief channel 211.

[0037] The valve body shell 1 is provided with two water outlet chambers 12 and two corresponding driving rods 7 . The output end of the driver 6 can selectively drive one of the driving rods 7 to move up and down.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The figure shows a first embodiment of the present invention in which a driver 6 provided by the present invention drives a drive rod 7 to move up and down by rotation. Specifically, the output end of the driver 6 is provided with a gear 61 having a partial tooth 611. The drive rod 7 is provided with a rack portion 71. The driver 6 drives the gear 61 to rotate, causing the partial tooth 611 to selectively engage with the rack portion 71 of the drive rod 7, thereby selecting one of the water outlet chambers 12 for water discharge. The two water outlet chambers 12 are respectively connected to the upper flush pipe 91 and the lower flush pipe 92 of the toilet 9.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 The figure shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which the driver 6 provided by the present invention drives the driving rod 7 to move up and down by rotation. Specifically, the output end of the driver 6 is provided with two supporting plates 62, and the driving rod 7 is provided with a force-bearing shaft 73. By rotating the driver 6, the supporting plates 62 are lifted by the force-bearing shaft 73, thereby selecting any water outlet chamber 12 for water discharge. The two water outlet chambers 12 are respectively connected to the upper flush pipe 91 and the lower flush pipe 92 of the toilet 9.

[0040] The driver 6 can be electrically controlled or manually controlled. The electrically controlled method is to drive the gear 61 or the support plate 62 through a motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the left or right driving rod 7 to move up and down; the manually controlled method is to set a knob, manual wrench, etc. extending out of the back pressure control cover 3, and drive the gear 61 or the support plate 62 through the knob or manual wrench to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the left or right driving rod 7 to move up and down.

[0041] The back pressure control cover 3 is provided with a mounting groove 34 for mounting the driving rod 7 and the gear 61 , and the driving rod 7 moves up and down along the mounting groove 34 .

[0043] The valve plate 4 includes a supporting layer 45 and a rubber layer 46 arranged outside the supporting layer 45. The rubber layer 46 is provided with the through hole 41. The through hole 41 is provided with a constricted portion 43 abutting the conduit 21. The constricted portion 43 ensures that the conduit 21 is sealed against the valve plate 4.

[0044] The valve plate 4 is provided with a deformation portion 44 , and the upper end surface of the water outlet chamber 12 constitutes a water stop surface 121 . Through the deformation of the deformation portion 44 , the lower end surface of the valve plate 4 can move between the position of supporting and separating from the water stop surface 121 .

[0045] The valve stem 8 is provided with an assembly hole, and the drive rod 7 is provided with a pin shaft 72 passing through the assembly hole. Through this structure, the driving rod 7 is lifted and lowered, thereby driving the valve stem 8 to move up and down.

[0046] The valve body further includes a second sealing ring 23 , which seals against the back pressure control cover 3 and the valve body upper cover 2 , thereby preventing liquid from leaking from this position.

[0047] Reference Figure 8 As shown, when the water inlet chamber 11 and the water outlet chamber 12 are in a blocked state, the liquid in the water inlet chamber 11 enters the back pressure chamber 5 through the through hole 41 of the valve plate 4. At this time, the rubber layer 46 of the valve stem 8 abuts against the convex surface 212 of the pressure relief channel 211, and the liquid in the back pressure chamber 5 causes the lower end surface of the valve plate 4 to abut against the water stop surface 121 of the water outlet chamber 12, thereby disconnecting the water outlet chamber 12 and the water outlet chamber 12.

[0048] Reference Figure 9 As shown, when the water inlet chamber 11 and the water outlet chamber 12 are in a connected state, the drive rod 7 is driven to rise by the driver 6, and the drive rod 7 drives the valve stem 8 to rise, so that the rubber layer 46 of the valve stem 8 is separated from the convex surface 212 of the pressure relief channel 211, and the liquid in the back pressure chamber 5 enters the pressure relief channel 211 through the pressure relief hole 22, and then enters the water outlet chamber 12. At this time, the back pressure chamber 5 is depressurized, and then the deformation part 44 of the valve plate 4 is deformed by the action of water pressure, so that the lower end face of the valve plate 4 is separated from the water stop surface 121 of the water outlet chamber 12. At this time, the liquid in the water inlet chamber 11 turns over the water stop surface 121 and enters the water outlet chamber 12.

[0049] Reference Figure 10As shown, on the other hand, the present invention provides a toilet 9, which is provided with an upper flush pipe 91 and a lower flush pipe 92, and the upper flush pipe 91 and the lower flush pipe 92 are respectively connected to the two water outlet chambers 12 of the flushing valve, and the upper flush pipe 91 or the lower flush pipe 92 is selected to discharge water through the driver 6.
