[0002] A drain is a drainage device located at the drain outlet of a washbasin, bathtub, or kitchen sink. Existing countertop-controlled drains do not require manual intervention to open the drain cover. For example, Chinese Patent 202222464886.8, entitled "Drainage Opening and Closing Mechanism of Countertop-Controlled Drain," includes a drain, a sealing cover for allowing or blocking water flow from the drain's inner cavity, and a shaft below the sealing cover. The key feature is the inclusion of a sliding switch. A guide pipe is provided on the wall of the drain, communicating with the drain's inner cavity. The sliding switch includes a switch arm and a sliding shaft connected at an obtuse angle. The sliding shaft slides within the guide pipe. The end of the switch arm is below the shaft. The end of the sliding shaft has an open groove for connecting one end of a steel wire rope. The other end of the steel wire rope is connected to a countertop control knob. When the countertop control knob drives the steel wire rope to tilt the sliding shaft upwards, the switch arm moves upwards, pushing the shaft upwards and thus opening the sealing cover from the drain outlet.

The drain body has two connecting channels 3 and one control channel 4 on its side wall. In this embodiment, the drainage channel is arranged vertically, and the two connecting channels and one control channel together realize the five-way valve interface structure, which improves the convenience and effectiveness of the connection.

[0024] In practical applications, a guide tube 6 is fixed in the drainage channel of the drain body by a reinforcing bar 5. The guide tube is located in the center of the drainage channel. The guide tube is mainly used for water inlet drainage and is connected to the water inlet drainage cup to improve the effectiveness and stability of water inlet drainage.

[0025] In practical applications, the sidewall of the guide tube and the top surface of the reinforcing bar are provided with interconnected C-shaped control grooves 7; and the control channel is connected to a control pipe 8, the outer end of the control pipe is fixed with a mounting switch seat 9, the mounting switch seat is provided with a push switch 10, and a control plug 11 is provided inside the guide tube. In this embodiment, the control plug is a metal ball or a plastic ball, and a steel wire 12 is provided between the push switch and the control plug. The steel wire is located inside the control pipe. By setting up the control pipe, the steel wire can be moved inside it to ensure the effectiveness of the control. The push switch is a conventional structure of the prior art, and it has a return spring inside. When the external force is released, the push switch is reset under the action of the return spring, and the steel wire is reset, so that the control plug is blocked and the guide tube is closed.

[0026] During operation, when the push switch is pressed, the control plug extends upward through the guide tube via the steel wire, at which point the guide tube is open. When the push switch is released, the steel wire drives the control plug into the guide tube, at which point the guide tube is closed.

[0027] In practical applications, the top of the drain body is threadedly connected to a water inlet cup 13, and the bottom of the water inlet cup is connected to the top of the guide tube. This ensures the effectiveness and reliability of water intake.
