For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.

[0029] As Figures 1-3 The specific embodiment of the opening and closing button 10 for controlling the water valve provided by the utility model is shown, which comprises a button main body 11 fixedly connected to the water valve body and a button panel 12 slidably connected to the button main body 11, the design enables the button panel 12 to slide on the button main body 11, thereby realizing the control of the water valve 20.

[0030] The button main body 11 and the button panel 12 are provided with a sliding limiting structure for avoiding shaking when the button panel 12 slides, as Figure 1 The sliding limiting structure comprises at least two limiting grooves 13 provided on one of the button main body 11 and the button panel 12, and at least two limiting columns 14 correspondingly provided on the other one of the button panel 12 and the button main body 11, at least two The limiting grooves 13 have a sliding channel, the extension directions of the sliding channels of at least two limiting grooves 13 are different, the sliding channel is formed by the groove surface of the limiting grooves oppositely arranged and extending in a straight line direction, and the limiting column 14 is slidably inserted into the limiting groove 13 and in contact with the sliding channel. Limit the sliding path of the button panel 12, ensure that the button panel 12 can only slide according to the preset direction and range, avoid random shaking or deviation, and ensure the accuracy and stability of operation.

[0031] Specifically, in an alternative embodiment, the key body 11 is provided with four limiting grooves 13, and the key panel 12 is correspondingly provided with four limiting posts 14. Among the four limiting grooves 13 of the key body 11, three limiting grooves 13 are configured in the form of grooves with sliding tracks, and one limiting groove 13 is in the form of a round hole. In other alternative embodiments, two or all of the four limiting grooves 13 of the key body 11 are in the form of grooves with sliding tracks.

[0032] Among them, the shape of the limiting groove 13 is not unique, in order to facilitate processing and manufacturing, the limiting groove 13 can be configured as a long hole, which can be a rectangular hole or Figure 1 a waist-shaped hole as shown. The two parallel faces of the long waist-shaped hole form a sliding track for cooperating with the limiting post 14. The directions of the sliding tracks of the three limiting grooves 13 are different, and the key panel 12 can be constrained from multiple directions. The long holes with different extension directions act like multiple tracks, guiding the sliding of the limiting post 14, effectively preventing the key panel 12 from shaking left and right or shifting forward and backward during sliding, further improving the stability and accuracy of the sliding of the key panel 12. In other alternative embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the limiting groove 13 is also configured as a special-shaped hole, for example, a T-shaped groove, and the parallel grooves form the sliding track; the sliding tracks of the four limiting grooves 13 extend in different directions.

[0033] Specifically, the structure of the limiting post 14 is not unique, which can be configured as a cylindrical body, a polygonal column or other special-shaped column extending in a direction perpendicular to the key panel 12. The cylindrical limiting post 14 is in line contact with the sliding track of the limiting groove 13 during sliding, which can reduce friction and make sliding smoother; while the polygonal column or special-shaped column limiting post 14 can better prevent the limiting post 14 from rotating in the limiting hole, further enhancing the limiting effect. The special-shaped column, for example, is configured as a T-shaped limiting post for matching Figure 4 the T-shaped limiting groove 13, which can better realize contact and cooperation with the limiting groove 13 and avoid key shaking.

[0034] Specifically, in an alternative embodiment, the key body 11 is configured as a frame structure with a receiving space in the middle, and the drive rod 21 of the water valve 20 is located in the receiving space of the key body 11. When the key panel 12 slides towards the key body 11, it can trigger the drive rod 21. This frame structure design not only provides a safe and stable placement space for the drive rod 21 of the water valve 20, protecting the drive rod 21 from external interference and damage, but also enables the key panel 12 to accurately act on the drive rod 21 during sliding, ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the water valve 20 control.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 the key panel 12 is provided with a trigger part 15 for triggering the driving rod 21, the trigger part 15 comprises a trigger plate 151 and a limiting protrusion 152 arranged on the surface of the trigger plate 151, the limiting protrusion 152 encloses a limiting space which is adapted to the shape of the driving rod 21 of the water valve 20; after the key panel 12 is triggered, the driving rod 21 of the water valve 20 is limited in the limiting space and abuts against the trigger plate 151. The structure of the trigger part 15 can make the key panel 12 enclose the driving rod 21 of the water valve 20 in the limiting space during the sliding process, so as to more accurately act on the driving rod 21, and ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the water valve 20 control.

[0036] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 the key panel 12 is provided with a support protrusion 17 for connecting the balance bar 16, and the key body 11 is provided with a hooking groove 18 for connecting the balance bar 16. When the key panel 12 slides, the balance bar 16 can move synchronously with the key panel 12, and plays a role of balance and support, reducing the shaking and tilting of the key panel 12 during the sliding process.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 the balance bar 16 comprises a rod-shaped main part 161 and hooking parts 162 bent on both sides of the main part 161. The main part 161 of the balance bar 16 is connected to the support protrusion 17 of the key panel 12, and the hooking parts 162 of the balance bar 16 are connected in the hooking groove 18 of the key body 11. The support protrusion 17 is configured as a circular ring protrusion, and a connecting hole is arranged on the opposite wall surface of the circular ring protrusion, and the main part 161 of the balance bar 16 is arranged in the connecting hole of the support protrusion 17. This connection mode makes the balance bar 16 closely connected with the key panel 12 and the key body 11, forming a stable whole. For those skilled in the art, the support protrusion 17 can also be configured in other shapes, such as rectangular, square or polygonal, etc., which only need to be adapted to the balance bar to achieve the support of the balance bar.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, the hooking groove 18 is configured as an L-shaped notch groove, as shown in Figure 3As shown, it includes the notch section 181 and the sliding section 182 which are perpendicular to each other in the extending direction, the hooking part 162 of the balance bar 16 enters the sliding section 182 along the notch section 181, and the hooking part 162 of the balance bar 16 moves along the sliding section 182 when the key panel 12 slides relative to the key body 11. The design of the L-shaped notch slot facilitates the installation and dismounting of the balance bar 16, and can effectively guide and limit the hooking part 162 of the balance bar 16 during the sliding of the key panel 12. The setting of the sliding section 182 enables the hooking part 162 of the balance bar 16 to move along a fixed path, further ensuring the stability and reliability of the balance bar 16, so that the balance effect on the sliding of the key panel 12 is better achieved.

[0039] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the utility model discloses a shower device, which comprises a storage box body 30 directly installed on the wall surface of a bathroom. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the utility model provides a specific embodiment of a shower device, which comprises a storage box body 30 directly installed on the wall surface of a bathroom. The storage box body 30 can provide space for users to place bath supplies and other articles, thereby increasing the practicability of the shower device. A water valve 20 is arranged in the storage box body 30. A through hole (not shown in the drawings) for penetrating an inlet water pipeline is formed on the side of the storage box body 30 facing the wall surface, so as to connect the water inlet of the water valve 20. A through hole for penetrating an outlet water pipeline 40 (such as a shower column) is formed on the upper side of the storage box body 30, so as to connect the water outlet of the water valve 20. At least one group of switch buttons 10 for controlling the opening and closing of the water valve 20 are arranged on the side surface of the storage box body 30 opposite to the wall surface. The specific structure and working principle of the switch buttons 10 are described above, and will not be described here again.

[0040] Specifically, the shape of the key panel 12 of the switch button 10 is not unique, and can be circular (see Figure 5 ), oval, triangular, rectangular, polygonal (see Figure 6 ), etc. This structural design hides the main part of the water valve 20 and the switch button 10 inside the storage box body 30, thereby achieving the protection and aesthetic effects. The key panel 12 is arranged on the outer surface of the storage box body 30, thereby facilitating the direct operation of users and improving the convenience of use. At the same time, the use of the above-mentioned structural form of the switch button 10 can avoid the shaking of the relative key body 11 when the key panel 12 (especially the edge region) is triggered, thereby improving the reliability of controlling the opening and closing of the water valve 20.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely exemplary and not limiting. Based on the above description, one of ordinary skill in the art can make other different forms of changes or modifications. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
