[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Example
[0028] A button device for a piano key shower, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a button base 1 for fixing to the valve core switch of the shower valve body, and a button 2 for the user to apply external force. The button 2 is rotatably mounted on the button base 1. When the button 2 is pressed and rotated to the rotation limit state, the button 2 abuts against the button base 1 and can further push the button base 1 to move, thereby achieving the effect of turning on the sun shower. By creating a tactile feedback, a two-stage opening effect is formed. Thus, if the user realizes that they have pressed the wrong button when they press the first stage, they can remove the external force to avoid water flowing down from above, effectively improving the comfort of use.
[0029] It also includes an elastic element 3 for resetting the position of the button 2 after the external force on the button 2 is removed. The two ends of the elastic element 3 are connected to the button base 1 and the button 2 respectively. The elastic element 3 enables the button 2 to return to its initial position after the external force is removed, so as to prepare for the next use.
[0030] At the same time, such as Figures 2-3As shown, the button base 1 is provided with a protrusion 4, and the button 2 is provided with a groove 5 for the protrusion 4 to be inserted. The protrusion 4 is provided with a receiving groove 6, and the elastic element 3 is fixedly set in the receiving groove 6. Through the cooperation of the groove 5 and the protrusion 4, the elastic element 3 is wrapped, which avoids the external water flow from contacting the elastic element 3, thereby improving the service life.
[0031] A limiting rod 7 is slidably provided in the receiving groove 6. One end of the limiting rod 7 can extend to the outside of the protrusion 4 and be embedded in the inner wall of the groove 5. Thus, in the initial state, the limiting rod 7 is pushed into the receiving groove 6, and then the button 2 can be sleeved on the protrusion 4.
[0032] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the button base 1 is also provided with a pushing component for pushing the limiting rod 7 into the inner wall of the groove 5. One end of the pushing component extends into the receiving groove 6 and the other end extends to the outside of the button base 1. Then, the pushing component pushes the limiting rod 7 out again, thereby embedding it into the inner wall of the groove 5, realizing the connection with the button 2, and thus achieving the effect of rotational connection. In addition, the inner wall of the groove 5 is provided with a groove for the limiting rod 7 to be embedded, which enhances the connection firmness with the button 2.
[0033] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the pushing assembly includes an ejector 8 slidably connected to the limiting rod 7, a pusher 9 slidably connected to the other end of the ejector 8, and a bolt 10 threadedly connected to the button base 1. The ejector 8 is slidably disposed within the button base 1, with one end embedded in the receiving groove 6, so that the limiting rod 7 can be pushed into the inner wall of the groove 5 by the ejector 8. The pusher 9 is slidably disposed within the button base 1, with one end of the bolt 10 abutting against the pusher 9 and the other end extending to the outside of the button base 1. Thus, during installation, the pusher 9 is pushed inward by rotating the bolt 10 with a tool, and the pusher 9 pushes the ejector 8 upward, and the ejector 8 pushes the limiting rod 7 into the inner wall of the groove 5, thereby completing a complete fixing.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the side walls where the ejector 8 and the limiting rod 7 abut against each other are provided with arc surface structures. The arc surface structures reduce the possibility of jamming during the transmission process between the ejector 8 and the limiting rod 7.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the side walls where the ejector 8 and the pusher 9 abut against each other are both inclined, which reduces the possibility of jamming during the transmission of the ejector 8 and the pusher 9.
[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the button base 1 has a shielding decorative piece 11 attached to the outside of the through hole for use with the thread of the bolt 10. The shielding decorative piece 11 prevents external moisture from entering the interior through the through hole, thus protecting the internal structure.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two limiting rods 7, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ejector 8, so as to ensure that the two limiting rods 7 are synchronously embedded in the groove 5.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the elastic element 3 is set as a torsion spring. There are two elastic elements 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the two limiting rods 7 to ensure that the force on both sides is uniform and the button 2 can be stably reset. At the same time, the limiting rods 7 pass through the elastic elements 3, and the limiting rods 7 have the effect of fixing the position of the elastic elements 3.
[0039] Working principle: When button 2 is pressed, button 2 rotates downwards. At this time, button 2 compresses the elastic element 3, while the button base 1 remains fixed and does not move. As more force is applied, button 2 rotates further and becomes blocked by the button base 1, thus limiting its rotation. Further force is required to push the button base 1 and cause displacement, creating a jerky feeling when the button is pressed. This serves as a warning during the first press if the user accidentally presses the button, effectively reducing the chance of accidentally turning on the sun shower and causing water to pour down from above, thus improving user comfort.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
