Abstract

This utility model discloses a novel electrically controlled seat height valve, including a main valve housing. An operation button is centrally mounted on the top of the main valve housing, and an electronic switch for activating an air pump is located on one side of the main valve housing. The main valve housing has two sets of trigger components that can be used to open the exhaust elastic reset sealing assembly and the intake elastic reset sealing assembly, respectively. Only one trigger component can be activated by reciprocating the operation button. The operation button also has a trigger structure that triggers the electronic switch synchronously with the intake. In addition to controlling intake, exhaust, and discharge, this height valve integrates the function of controlling and activating the air pump in conjunction with the trigger control function near the intake. By triggering the electronic switch controlling the air pump while controlling the intake, the air pump is activated, ensuring sufficient air supply and good intake effect, thereby better controlling and adjusting the seat height.
