Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a float adjustment mechanism and an inlet valve. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, consumers' aesthetic preferences for toilet tanks have shifted towards thinner and narrower designs. This has led to a corresponding decrease in internal space, resulting in several common problems: The smaller internal space makes it difficult to install the inlet valve float, as the float can easily become stuck against the tank wall or drain valve, causing it to float up and fail to stop the water flow. Therefore, the inlet valve needs to be installed correctly the first time to avoid jamming the float, making installation difficult. Furthermore, adjusting the float position after installation requires removing the nut and reinstalling the float, which is inconvenient. Additionally, over time, scale buildup on the sealing gasket in the inlet valve cover can cause it to lose its seal. Given the current cramped internal space of the tank, the cumbersome disassembly and assembly process of the inlet valve, and the complex and easily damaged connection structure, users often find it difficult to clean the internal sealing gasket themselves.

[0003] In view of this, the inventors of this application have invented a float adjustment mechanism and an inlet valve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a float adjustment mechanism and inlet valve that can quickly adjust the position of the float and facilitate the cleaning of the water stop pad.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a float adjustment mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A valve body, wherein a top cover is provided on the valve body, and the top cover is rotatably connected to the valve body;

[0007] A float assembly includes a float that is movably fitted onto the valve body and is connected to the upper cover;

[0008] A fixing component is inserted into the valve body and the upper cover. The fixing component is inserted into the valve body and the upper cover to connect and fix the upper cover to the valve body. The upper cover can rotate relative to the valve body. The rotation of the upper cover causes the float to rotate relative to the valve body.

[0009] Furthermore, the valve body is provided with a limiting part, and the upper cover is provided with a mating part that limits and cooperates with the limiting part, and the mating part rotates within the range defined by the limiting part.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting part is an arc-shaped protrusion extending outward from the valve body, and the mating part is a protrusion located at the bottom end of the upper cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the valve body and the top cover are provided with a plug-in structure that cooperates with the fixing member. The plug-in structure includes a plug hole and a limiting groove corresponding to the plug hole. The top cover and the valve body are nested inside and outside. The component on the outer periphery is provided with the plug hole, and the component placed inside is provided with the limiting groove. The fixing member is inserted into the plug hole and the limiting groove to fix the top cover and the valve body.

[0012] Furthermore, both the insertion hole and the limiting groove are horizontally extended, and the fixing member is horizontally inserted into the insertion hole and the limiting groove from the side.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper cover is fitted around the outer periphery of the top of the valve body, the limiting groove is arranged in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the upper cover, and there are two sets of insertion holes, each set of insertion holes including a front hole and a rear hole. The fixing member is inserted into the front hole, the limiting groove and the rear hole in sequence to fix the upper cover and the valve body.

[0014] Furthermore, the fastener includes a main body and a fixing pin extending along one side of the main body, the fixing pin being inserted into the upper cover and the valve body to fix the upper cover and the valve body.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes an elastic hook, and the upper cover is provided with a limiting step that cooperates with the elastic hook. The fixing component is inserted into the upper cover and the valve body, and at the same time, the elastic hook engages with the limiting step.

[0016] Furthermore, the elastic hook and the fixing pin are located on the same side of the main body, and there are two of each of the fixing pin and the elastic hook.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0037] It should be noted that in this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element of this utility model must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Example

[0038] Cooperate Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model discloses a float 31 adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the float 31. This way, the position of the float 31 does not need to be considered too much when installing the water inlet valve, making installation convenient. After the water inlet valve is installed, the position of the float 31 can also be adjusted at any time. At the same time, the convenient disassembly and assembly design of the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 makes it easy to clean the water stop pad inside the upper cover 20.

[0039] Cooperate Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a float 31 adjustment mechanism includes:

[0040] The valve body 10 has a top cover 20, which is rotatably connected to the valve body 10.

[0041] The float assembly 30 includes a float 31, which is movably sleeved on the valve body 10 and connected to the upper cover 20.

[0042] The fixing member 40 is inserted into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20 to connect and fix the upper cover 20 to the valve body 10. The upper cover 20 can rotate relative to the valve body 10. The rotation of the upper cover 20 drives the float 31 to rotate relative to the valve body 10.

[0043] The fixing member 40 is plugged into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20, connecting and fixing the upper cover 20 to the valve body 10. However, the fixing member 40 does not completely fix the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10; it prevents the upper cover 20 from detaching from the valve body 10, but the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 can rotate relative to each other. When the position of the float 31 needs to be adjusted, rotating the upper cover 20 will cause the float 31 to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the float 31 relative to the valve body 10 achieves the purpose of adjusting the position of the float 31. Furthermore, the plugging connection between the fixing member 40 and the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 allows for convenient assembly and disassembly of the fixing member 40 and the upper cover 20 and valve body 10. After removing the fixing member 40, the upper cover 20 can be directly detached from the valve body 10, facilitating the cleaning of the water-stop gasket inside the upper cover 20.

[0044] The float assembly 30 further includes a lifting rod 32 and an adjusting screw 33. The float 31 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 33. One end of the lifting rod 32 is connected to the upper cover 20, and the other end is connected to the adjusting screw 33. Rotation of the upper cover 20 causes the float assembly 30 to rotate accordingly. Parts of the float assembly 30 are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The float 31 is connected to the upper cover 20 via the adjusting screw 33 and the lifting rod 32, causing the float 31 and the upper cover 20 to rotate in tandem. Rotation of the upper cover 20 relative to the valve body 10 causes the entire float assembly 30 (float 31, lifting rod 32, and adjusting screw 33) to rotate accordingly.

[0045] The upper cover 20 can only rotate within a certain range relative to the retaining ring. This rotation angle can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the upper cover 20 rotates at an angle of 0-180 degrees relative to the valve body 10. A rotation range of 180 degrees is sufficient to meet the usage requirements.

[0046] The rotation of the upper cover 20 is restricted by the following structure: the valve body 10 is provided with a limiting part 11, and the upper cover 20 is provided with a mating part 21 that engages with the limiting part 11. The mating part 21 rotates within the range defined by the limiting part 11. Specifically, the limiting part 11 is an arc-shaped protrusion extending outward from the valve body 10, and the mating part 21 is a protrusion located at the bottom end of the upper cover 20. In this embodiment, the central angle corresponding to the arc-shaped protrusion is 180 degrees, and the mating part 21 moves between the two ends of the arc-shaped protrusion.

[0047] Cooperate Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20 are provided with a plug-in structure that cooperates with the fixing member 40. The plug-in structure includes a plug hole 22 and a limiting groove 12 corresponding to the plug hole 22. The upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 are nested inside and outside. The component on the outer periphery is provided with the plug hole 22, and the component placed inside is provided with the limiting groove 12. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the plug hole 22 and the limiting groove 12 to fix the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10.

[0048] The plug-in structure is a structure for the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20 to cooperate with the fixing member 40. The fixing member 40 cooperates with the plug-in structure to fix the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10. The bottom end of the upper cover 20 and the top end of the valve body 10 are nested inside each other. The bottom end of the upper cover 20 fits onto the outer periphery of the top end of the valve body 10, or the top end of the valve body 10 fits onto the outer periphery of the bottom end of the upper cover 20. The component fitted on the outer periphery has the plug hole 22, and the component placed inside has the limiting groove 12. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the plug hole 22 and the limiting groove 12 in sequence to achieve plug-in fixation. The plug-in structure can be set horizontally or vertically. Correspondingly, the fixing member 40 is inserted horizontally or vertically into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20. In this embodiment, the plug hole 22 and the limiting groove 12 are both set horizontally. The fixing member 40 is inserted horizontally into the plug hole 22 and the limiting groove 12 from the side. This design has little impact on the overall volume of the water inlet valve.

[0049] In this embodiment, the plug-in structure is specifically designed as follows: the upper cover 20 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the top of the valve body 10. The limiting groove 12 is arranged in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the upper cover 20. There are two sets of plug holes 22, each set of plug holes 22 including a corresponding front hole 221 and a rear hole 222. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the front hole 221, the limiting groove 12, and the rear hole 222 in sequence to fix the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10. The fixing member 40 is inserted into both sets of plug holes 22 simultaneously, into the front hole 221, the limiting groove 12, and the rear hole 222 in sequence, thus fixing the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10. Since the limiting groove 12 is ring-shaped, the upper cover 20 can be rotated to any position, and the fixing member 40 can cooperate with the plug-in structure for fixation, making the rotation adjustment of the upper cover 20 more flexible and precise.

[0050] Cooperate Figure 7 As shown, the fastener 40 is designed as follows: the fastener 40 includes a main body 41 and a fixing pin 42 extending along one side of the main body 41. The fixing pin 42 is inserted into the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 to fix the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10. The fastener 40 has a structure similar to a plug rod, and the fixing pin 42 is inserted into the valve body 10 and the upper cover 20, that is, the fixing pin 42 cooperates with the plug-in structure. In this embodiment, there are two fixing pins 42, which cooperate with two sets of plug holes 22 respectively.

[0051] The fixing member 40 also includes an elastic hook 43. The upper cover 20 is provided with a limiting step 23 that cooperates with the elastic hook 43. The fixing member 40 is inserted into the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10, and the elastic hook 43 engages with the limiting step 23. The cooperation between the elastic hook 43 and the limiting step 23 secures the fixing member 40, preventing the fixing member 40 from easily coming loose and causing the connection of the upper cover 20 to fail. When the fixing member 40 is pulled out by force, the elastic hook 43 deforms and disengages from the limiting step 23 under its own elasticity, thereby allowing the fixing member 40 to be pulled out. Furthermore, the elastic hook 43 and the fixing pin 42 are located on the same side of the main body 41, and there are two elastic hooks 43, with the limiting step 23 provided on both sides of the upper cover 20.

[0052] Cooperate Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model also discloses a water inlet valve, including the above-mentioned float 31 adjustment mechanism. Through the float 31 adjustment mechanism, the relative position of the float 31 and the valve body 10 can be adjusted, making the installation of the water inlet valve simpler. After the water inlet valve is installed, the position of the float 31 can be adjusted by simply rotating the upper cover 20, which is convenient to operate. In addition, the upper cover 20 and the valve body 10 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which facilitates the cleaning of the water stop pad in the upper cover 20.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
