[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a drain valve housing structure includes a body (or housing) 10 and a base plate 20. The base plate is disposed inside the lower end of the body, or in other words, the base plate seals the opening at the lower end of the body. An elastic sheet 30 is provided on the outer periphery of the base plate, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 is provided on the outer periphery of the elastic sheet. A connecting piece 40 is provided on the inner periphery of the lower end of the body, and a snap-fit ​​interface 41 is provided on the connecting piece. The snap-fit ​​protrusion can engage with the snap-fit ​​interface. In this way, due to the characteristic that the elastic sheet cannot deform without external force, the snap-fit ​​protrusion maintains the snap-fit ​​engagement with the snap-fit ​​interface, so that the body and the base plate are connected together.

[0026] Preferably, the connecting piece is formed by an inward protrusion of the inner peripheral wall of the lower end of the main body. A recess 21 is provided on the lower peripheral side of the base plate, which can be adapted to the protruding connecting piece, and the elastic piece is disposed within the recess. At least two connecting pieces are arranged circumferentially on the inner peripheral wall of the lower end of the main body, and a recess that can be adapted to the connecting pieces is arranged circumferentially on the lower peripheral side of the base plate. In one embodiment, the base plate includes a radially extending plate 22 at the bottom, and the recess is formed by an inward indentation of the outer periphery of the plate.

[0027] Furthermore, the base plate located on the inner periphery of the snap-fit ​​protrusion includes a first connecting ring 23 and a second connecting ring 24 distributed vertically, with a first inclined surface 25 formed between the first and second connecting rings; the lower circumferential inner wall of the body includes a first annular inner wall 11 and a second annular inner wall 12 distributed vertically, with a second inclined surface 13 formed between the first and second annular inner walls. The outer periphery of the first connecting ring can be adapted to the first annular inner wall, the outer periphery of the second connecting ring can be adapted to the second annular inner wall, and the first inclined surface can be adapted to the second inclined surface. This can serve as a pre-guide for inserting the base plate into the body and improve the coaxiality during installation. A limiting block 14 can also be provided on the second annular inner wall, which can be placed between the outer peripheries of the second connecting rings between two adjacent recesses.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the first connecting ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the second connecting ring, and the inner diameter of the first annular inner circumferential wall is smaller than the inner diameter of the second annular inner circumferential wall; the outer diameter of the second connecting ring is larger than the inner diameter of the first annular inner circumferential wall, and the outer diameter of the second connecting ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the second annular inner circumferential wall.

[0029] Preferably, a connecting plate 26 is further provided above the base plate, and the outer side of the connecting plate can be axially aligned with the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting ring. The outer periphery of the connecting plate can be adapted to the inner peripheral wall of the first ring, which can improve the situation where there is not too much axial wobble between the base plate and the body after installation.

[0030] Furthermore, a downward-facing groove 27 is formed on the base plate located inside the elastic sheet. During disassembly, the elastic sheet is moved into the groove by a tool, causing the snap-fit ​​protrusion to separate from the snap-fit ​​interface, thus achieving quick disassembly of the base plate and the body.

[0031] More specifically, this utility model provides a bottom plate connection mechanism for a drain valve, including a bottom plate and a body. An elastic buckle composed of an elastic sheet and a snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided on the lower part of the bottom plate. The inner side wall of the body extends inward to form a connecting piece, and a snap-fit ​​interface is opened on the connecting piece. The bottom plate is fixed to the snap-fit ​​block of the connecting piece of the body by the elastic buckle. Thus, the drain valve using this solution has no elastic buckle holes on its outer surface, and the drainage volume is stable and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0032] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
