A pressure holding chamber 401 is disposed between the sealing gasket 12 and the movable seal 4. The pressure relief hole 40 communicates with the pressure holding chamber 401. A spring 13 is provided between the 11 and the button assembly 5. A soft seal 31 is provided at one end of the linkage rod 3 that passes through the retaining seat 11 and the sealing gasket 12. The soft seal 31 is used to open and close the pressure relief hole 40. A water passage groove 49 is provided on the movable seal 4 to connect the pressure holding chamber 401 and the water inlet 21. By designing the water passage groove to connect the pressure holding chamber and the water inlet, the pressure holding chamber is always connected to the water inlet. By pressing the button assembly, the soft seal on the linkage rod can seal or open the pressure relief hole on the movable seal. Since the pressure holding chamber is always connected to the water inlet, there is always liquid in the pressure holding chamber. The user does not need to press the button assembly to open or close the device. The above-mentioned button assembly is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In the aforementioned push-button valve core, the movable sealing element 4 includes a piston 41, an O-ring 42, and an angled sealing ring 43. The upper end of the piston 41 has a receiving ring groove 44 for accommodating the O-ring 42, and the lower end has a receiving ring groove 45 for accommodating the angled sealing ring 43. The water passage groove 49 is located on the upper side wall 46 of the receiving ring groove 44, and the receiving ring groove 44 and the O-ring 42 are in clearance fit. The outer side of the O-ring 42 contacts the inner wall of the piston 41. The angled sealing ring 43 is used in conjunction with the water outlet 22. Specifically, the water outlet 22 has a chamfered angle that is used in conjunction with the angled sealing ring, and the number of water passage grooves is at least one. This utility model uses one.

[0035] In the above-mentioned press type valve core, the upper end of the movable sealing member 4 is provided with a receiving groove 47 for the soft sealing member 31 to extend into, the pressure relief hole 40 is located in the receiving groove 47, the lower end of the pressure relief hole 40 is always in communication with the water outlet 22, a sealing convex ring 48 is protrudingly formed in the receiving groove 47, and the sealing convex ring 48 is arranged around the circumferential side of the pressure relief hole 40. Specifically, when the soft sealing member seals the pressure relief hole, the soft sealing member will be deformed by being pushed downward through the linkage rod, and the lower end of the soft sealing member wraps the upper side of the sealing convex ring, so as to further play a role in sealing the pressure relief hole.

[0036] In the above-mentioned press type valve core, the retaining seat 11 is provided with a through hole one 111 for the linkage rod 3 to pass through, the sealing gasket 12 is provided with a through hole two 112 for the linkage rod 3 to pass through, the through hole one 111 and the linkage rod 3 are in clearance fit, the through hole two 112 and the linkage rod 3 are in interference fit, and the through hole two 112 is a tapered hole structure. Specifically, this can improve the sealing performance between the linkage rod and the sealing gasket, and the upper opening of the through hole two is larger than the lower opening.

[0037] In the above-mentioned press type valve core, the inner side of the lower end of the shell 1 is provided with a clamping ring groove 10, the outer side of the upper end of the base 2 is provided with a clamping convex ring 20 matched with the clamping ring groove 10, and the shell 1 is provided with a deformation groove 101 communicating with the clamping ring groove 10. Specifically, this is to facilitate the connection between the base and the shell. When the base is inserted into the shell, the designed deformation groove 101 can be slightly expanded outward, facilitating the insertion of the base into the shell. The shell of the utility model preferably adopts two deformation grooves, and the two deformation grooves are oppositely arranged on the shell.

[0038] In the above-mentioned press type valve core, the upper end surface of the base 2 is provided with a convex rib 201 for abutting against the lower end surface of the sealing gasket 12. Specifically, this is to further improve the sealing performance of the two.

[0039] In the above-mentioned press type valve core, the sealing gasket 12 and the soft sealing member 31 are both made of silica gel or rubber material.

[0040] Working principle: when the valve core needs to be opened, just press the button assembly 5, the button assembly 5 drives the linkage rod 3 to move upward through the elasticity of the spring 13, the linkage rod 3 drives the soft sealing piece 31 to move upward, the soft sealing piece 31 opens the pressure relief hole 40, the water in the pressure maintaining cavity 401 is discharged from the pressure relief hole 40, at the same time the water in the water inlet 21 pushes the movable sealing piece 4 to move upward, at this time the water in the water inlet 21 is discharged through the water outlet 22; when the valve core needs to be closed, just press the button assembly 5 again, the button assembly 5 drives the linkage rod 3 and the soft sealing piece 31 to move downward as a whole, the soft sealing piece 31 seals the pressure relief hole 40, at the same time the soft sealing piece 31 also pushes the movable sealing piece 4 to move downward as a whole, finally the inclined sealing ring 43 seals the water outlet 22.

[0041] After the valve core is closed, the water in the water inlet 21 enters the base 2 and extrudes the inner side of the O-shaped ring 42, so that the water flow enters the water passing groove 49 from between the O-shaped ring 42 and the containing ring groove 44, then the water flow passes through the water passing groove 49 and enters the pressure maintaining cavity 401 from the gap between the piston 41 and the inner wall of the base 2, so that the water storage state is formed in the pressure maintaining cavity 401; until the valve core is opened, the linkage rod 3 and the soft sealing piece 31 move upward, the pressure relief hole 40 discharges the water stored in the pressure maintaining cavity 401 and the containing groove 47 from the water outlet 22, at this time the water pressure in the pressure maintaining cavity 401 is lower than the water pressure at the water inlet 21, the piston 41 moves upward, so that the water outlet 22 is communicated with the water inlet 21, the water flow in the water inlet 21 can flow out from the water outlet 22, that is, the water storage in the pressure maintaining cavity 401 can be used as the buffer of the piston 41, avoiding the vibration or high-speed movement of the piston 41 affected by the water hammer, the piston 41 can move upward at a slow speed, improving the service life thereof; at the same time, even if the water pressure fluctuates, the piston 41 in the slidable state can stabilize the water pressure at the water inlet 21 and the water outlet 22, thereby stabilizing the water outlet of the valve core.

[0042] The above embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the protection scope of the present application, therefore: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
