Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for flushing toilet tanks, and in particular to a water inlet valve. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology, Chinese patent 201120264745.0, describes a water tank inlet valve, including a valve body, a sealing cap, a valve cover, a lever, and a float. The valve cover and valve body are connected to form a valve cavity, and the valve body has an inlet pipe connected to the valve cavity. The sealing cap is disposed inside the valve cavity, and its bottom end is connected to the lever. The lever and float are connected via an adjusting screw. Under the action of the lever, the sealing cap seals or opens the inlet pipe of the valve body. The sealing cap is characterized by a locking position on its top surface, with a protrusion on the locking position. A small groove is cut into the boss; a sealing silicone pad is installed on the top surface of the sealing cap, and the sealing silicone pad is fitted into the locking position; when water enters through the small groove on the boss of the sealing cap, because the sealing silicone pad is relatively thin, under the water pressure, the inclined surface between the sealing silicone pad and the sealing cap will open a large gap to allow water to enter. The float is lifted by the buoyancy of the water, and the float drives the pressure rod to close the small hole on the valve cover. When the pressure is high enough, it pushes the sealing cap to press the sealing silicone pad tightly against the valve body, and the water inlet valve stops water intake. At the same time, dirt and silt in the water can be carried away to prevent blockage and failure of the water inlet valve. The problem is: it is prone to siphon backflow. Utility Model Content

The valve core seat 14 is hollow with one open end and the closed end connected to the water outlet pipe 11 through a water guide channel 15. The valve cavity 13 is provided with a countersunk hole 131. A filter screen is provided inside the water inlet pipe 12.

[0031] The movable valve core 2 includes a core part 21 with one end open and a guide post 22 with a water guide groove. The guide post 22 and the core part 21 are provided with an annular groove (not marked) at the adjacent end.

[0032] The sealing element 3 has an opening at one end and includes a core cavity 31, an interface cavity 32, and an annular seat plate 33. The end plate of the core cavity 31 is provided with a mounting hole 311.

[0033] The valve cover 4 includes a plug-in portion 41, an inlet / outlet seat 42, and a hinge cavity 43. The hinge cavity 43 has an end opening and a limiting groove 431 provided on the circumferential wall.

[0034] The water inlet lever 9 includes a screw seat 91, a straight arm 92, a crank arm 93, and a hinged frame plate 94. The hinged frame plate 94 includes a half shaft and a pellet seat located on both sides of the upper part.

[0035] The core part 21 is embedded in the core cavity 31, the guide post 22 extends out from the core cavity 31, and the end plate of the core cavity 31 at the mounting hole 311 is fitted with the annular groove; the annular seat plate 33 is fitted with the bottom plate of the countersunk hole 131, the valve cover 4 is inserted into the valve cavity 13 and presses the annular seat plate 33, the insertion interface part 41 is inserted into the interface cavity 32, the closed end of the core cavity 31 is fitted with the valve core seat 14, and the guide post 22 is inserted into the valve core seat 14 and slides; the air seal granules 8 are set on the granule seat on the hinge frame plate 94, the half shaft is hinged to the hinge cavity 43, the crank arm 93 is fitted with the limiting groove 431, and the upper end of the screw 7 is fitted with the screw seat 91; the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the water outlet interface pipe 11, the float 6 is slidably fitted with the water inlet pipe 5, and the lower end of the screw 7 is connected to the float 6;

[0036] Figure 1 , Figure 8 This is a view in a static state, i.e., the state after the toilet tank is filled with water; the air-sealing granules 8 and the air inlet / outlet seat 42 are fitted together in a sealed manner, the end plate of the closed end of the core cavity 31 is fitted with the valve core seat 14, and the sealing element 3 and the valve cover 4 form a closed pressure chamber; when the water level in the toilet tank drops, such as Figure 8 As shown, the float 6 moves downward, the inlet lever 9 rotates counterclockwise, and the air seal granules 8 leave the inlet and outlet seats 42, as... Figure 2 As shown; under the action of water pressure, the movable valve core 2, in Figure 1 As the water moves to the left, a gap appears between the end plate of the closed end of the core cavity 31 and the valve core seat 14, and the guide column moves within the valve core seat 14. Water enters the valve cavity 13 through the inlet pipe 12 and the water guide channel 15; then it enters the toilet tank through the valve core seat 14, the outlet pipe 11, and the inlet pipe 5. As the water level in the tank rises, the float gradually moves upward, and the inlet lever 9 rotates clockwise until the set water level is reached. The air seal granules 8 and the air inlet / outlet seat 42 seal together, and the end plate of the closed end of the core cavity 31 fits against the valve core seat 14, stopping the water intake.

The water flowing out of the valve core seat 14 enters the gap between the air pipe 111 and the water outlet pipe 11, and then enters the lower end of the water outlet pipe 11.

[0040] As a further improvement of this utility model: the core part 21 of the movable valve core 2 is provided with a positioning post 211;

[0041] The end plate of the core cavity 31 of the sealing element 3 is provided with a positioning hole 312; the positioning pin 211 is inserted into the positioning hole 312 to prevent the movable valve core 2 from rotating.
