Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-related faucets, specifically to a button and a faucet having the button. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, faucets on the market that allow for flow adjustment typically include a push-button switch and an adjustment knob. The push-button switch controls the opening and closing of the faucet valve, while the adjustment knob controls the water flow. Therefore, they are two separate components. The defects of this structure are as follows: because it is divided into two parts to achieve different functions, the overall structure of the faucet is not compact enough. Secondly, due to the control stroke problem, even after the existing button is pressed to close the faucet, it still protrudes from the button panel, which can easily lead to accidental operation.

[0003] Therefore, improvements need to be made to the existing button structure to overcome the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide a button and a faucet with the button, which can realize the on / off and flow regulation functions with just a single button, and also increases the control travel of the button.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a button, including a slidably disposed button body, a connecting sleeve fixedly connected to the button body, an elastic buckle fixedly connected to the button body, and a rotating shaft slidably disposed relative to the button body. The lower end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a button valve core. The connecting sleeve is slidably disposed relative to the button valve core, and a driving structure for driving the button valve core to rotate is disposed between the two. The rotating shaft is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part that cooperate with the elastic buckle. The first limiting part and the second limiting part are distributed along the vertical direction. A first elastic element is disposed between the rotating shaft and the button body. The rotating shaft is also provided with a limiting abutment that opens the elastic buckle. A second elastic element is disposed between the rotating shaft and the limiting abutment.

[0006] Optionally, the button body and the connecting sleeve are threaded together.

[0007] Optionally, a mounting rod extending vertically is fixedly disposed inside the button body, and a cavity that mates with the mounting rod is opened on the upper surface of the rotating shaft, and the first elastic element is disposed between the mounting rod and the cavity.

[0008] Optionally, the upper surface of the elastic buckle is provided with a through hole for the mounting rod to pass through.

[0009] Optionally, the lower end of the rotating shaft is threadedly connected to the button valve core.

[0010] Optionally, both the limiting contact member and the second elastic member are sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting contact member is a conical sleeve and its lower surface abuts against the upper surface of the button valve core, and the lower surface of the elastic buckle has an opening slope that cooperates with the limiting contact member.

[0012] Optionally, the drive structure includes an adapter, the adapter having a first tooth on its inner side and a second tooth on its outer side, the connecting sleeve having a third tooth on its inner side that mates with the second tooth, and the button valve core having a fourth tooth on its outer side that mates with the first tooth.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, in a second aspect, this application provides a faucet, including the aforementioned button, an installation body, and a fixed base. The button valve core is disposed on the installation body, a connecting rod is connected between the fixed base and the installation body, a connecting housing is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, and a first sealing element is provided between the button body and the fixed base.

[0014] Optionally, it includes a button panel fixedly connected to the fixed chassis, a second sealing element is provided between the button panel and the fixed chassis, the button body is slidably disposed relative to the button panel, the button body is in a pressed state, and the upper surface of the button body is flush with the upper surface of the button panel.

[0015] This utility model provides a button and a faucet with the button. Compared with the prior art, its advantages are as follows: When the button is pressed, the entire button slides downward. After the first elastic element is compressed, it applies a downward force to the rotating shaft. Since the rotating shaft is connected to the button valve core, the button valve core is controlled to close the faucet. At this time, the elastic buckle cooperates with the first limiting part on the rotating shaft for positioning. When the button needs to be raised, the button is pressed again. The elastic buckle abuts against the limiting contact element and deforms under its action, so that the first limiting part disengages from the elastic buckle. Under the action of the first elastic element, the button body moves upward relative to the rotating shaft until the elastic buckle cooperates with the second limiting part. When adjusting the flow rate, since the button body is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve, and the connecting sleeve is connected to the button valve core through a drive structure, the control stroke of the button is increased. Therefore, when the button body is rotated, the button valve core is driven to rotate under the action of the connecting sleeve and the drive structure, thereby adjusting the flow rate.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-2 , Figures 4-7As shown, a button includes a slidably mounted button body 1, a connecting sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the button body 1, an elastic buckle 3 fixedly connected to the button body 1, and a rotating shaft 4 slidably mounted relative to the button body 1. The lower end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to a button valve core 5. The connecting sleeve 2 is slidably mounted relative to the button valve core 5, and a driving structure for driving the button valve core 5 to rotate is provided between the two. The rotating shaft 4 is provided with a first limiting part 6 and a second limiting part 7 that cooperate with the elastic buckle 3. The first limiting part 6 and the second limiting part 7 are distributed along the vertical direction. A first elastic element 8 is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the button body 1. The rotating shaft 4 is also provided with a limiting abutment 10 that opens the elastic buckle. A second elastic element 9 is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the limiting abutment 10. The first limiting part 6 is located below the second limiting part 7. Figure 1 As shown, when the faucet is in the closed state, the elastic buckle 3 engages with the first limiting part 6, and the elastic buckle 3 locks onto the lower plane of the first limiting part 6, forming a flat button state, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, when the faucet is in the open state, the elastic buckle 3 cooperates with the second limiting part 7, and the elastic buckle 3 is locked onto the lower plane of the second limiting part 7. That is, when the button body 1 is pressed, the elastic buckle 3 touches the limiting contact 10 and is opened. With the help of the elastic force of the first elastic member 8, the button body 1 rises, thereby driving the elastic buckle 3 to rise. At this time, the elastic buckle 3 cooperates with the second limiting part 7 to form a button protrusion state. At this time, the button body 1 can be rotated to adjust the flow rate. In this embodiment, both the first elastic member 8 and the second elastic member 9 are springs.

[0032] It should be noted that the drive structure includes an adapter 11. The inner side of the adapter 11 has a first tooth shape, and the outer side has a second tooth shape. The inner side of the connecting sleeve 2 has a third tooth shape that mates with the second tooth shape. The outer side of the button valve core 5 is provided with a fourth tooth shape that mates with the first tooth shape. The first, second, third, and fourth teeth are all straight teeth. Since the button needs to be pressed, the use of straight teeth does not affect the button. When it needs to rotate to adjust the flow rate, the button body 1 is rotated, and the connecting sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to it, thereby driving the connecting sleeve 2 to rotate. The second and third teeth mate, thereby driving the adapter 11 to rotate. Since the first and fourth teeth mate, the adapter 11 drives the button valve core 5 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the flow rate.

[0033] Preferably, the button body 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 are threaded together, and an installation rod 12 extending vertically is fixedly provided inside the button body 1. The upper surface of the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a cavity that cooperates with the installation rod 12. The first elastic element 8 is provided between the installation rod 12 and the cavity. The upper surface of the elastic buckle 3 is provided with a through hole for the installation rod 12 to pass through. Therefore, during installation, the elastic buckle 3 is first passed through the installation rod 12, and then the button body 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 are threaded together. Thus, the upper surface of the elastic buckle 3 is clamped between the button body 1 and the connecting sleeve 2 to form a fixed connection.

[0034] For ease of installation, the lower end of the rotating shaft 4 is threadedly connected to the button valve core 5, and the limiting contact 10 and the second elastic element 9 are both sleeved on the rotating shaft 4.

[0035] In order to allow the elastic buckle 3 to open and disengage from the first limiting part 6, the limiting contact 10 is a conical sleeve and its lower surface abuts against the upper surface of the button valve core 5. The lower surface of the elastic buckle 3 has an opening slope that cooperates with the limiting contact 10.

[0036] like Figures 3-4 As shown, a faucet includes the aforementioned button, a mounting body 13, and a fixed base 14. The button valve core 5 is disposed on the mounting body 13. A connecting rod 18 is connected between the fixed base 14 and the mounting body 13. A connecting housing 19 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 18. The lower end of the connecting rod 18 is threadedly connected to the mounting body 13, while its upper end is fixedly connected to the fixed base 14 by fasteners, which can be bolts or screws. A first sealing element 15 is provided between the button body 1 and the fixed base 14. The first sealing element 15 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the lower end of the button body 1, thereby providing a good sealing effect when the button body 1 slides.

[0037] In addition, a button panel 17 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 14. A second sealing element 16 is provided between the button panel 17 and the fixed base 14. The second sealing element 16 is also a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed base 14. After the button panel 17 is installed, it is covered inside the button panel 17, thereby achieving a seal between the fixed base 14 and the button panel 17. The button body 1 is slidably disposed relative to the button panel 17. When the button body 1 is in the pressed state, the upper surface of the button body 1 is flush with the upper surface of the button panel 17. When the button body 1 is in the pressed state, the faucet is in the closed state. Therefore, the user cannot turn the button body 1 at this time. The flow rate can only be adjusted when the button body 1 is raised, which can also prevent certain accidental operation.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
