Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rinsing device technology, and more specifically, to a rinsing device sliding switch structure and an electric rinsing device. Background Technology

[0002] An electric bidet is a device that uses a pump to generate a high-speed water flow, which is then accelerated and pressurized and sprayed onto the human body or equipment to achieve cleaning, rinsing, and massage effects.

[0003] Currently, various electric flushers typically adjust the flow rate using one or more push-button switches. However, controlling the pump and thus the flow rate via push-button switches only allows for multiple adjustable levels, not stepless adjustment. In other words, push-button switches only provide a few fixed flow rate settings, which doesn't adequately meet user needs. A slide switch, on the other hand, can effectively control the pump and achieve stepless flow rate adjustment.

[0004] However, a slide switch requires a user-operated knob to move the slide rod for stepless control adjustment. Therefore, a slot needs to be provided in the housing for the knob to slide. Currently, it is not possible to guarantee a good seal between the knob and the slide switch within the slot, allowing external moisture or liquid to enter the slide switch and circuit board along the knob, causing the slide switch or circuit board to malfunction.

[0028] Example

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a flushing device sliding switch structure, including a sliding switch 2 disposed in the housing 1, and a sliding button 4 slidably disposed on the housing 1 and capable of moving the sliding rod 8 of the sliding switch 2; it also includes a soft rubber part 3 sealed on the housing 1 and placed between the sliding button 4 and the sliding switch 2;

[0030] The sliding button 4 cooperates with the sliding rod 8 to deform the soft rubber part 3, and the deformed area can move synchronously with the movement of the sliding button 4.

[0031] This embodiment uses an electric flushing device as an example for specific explanation. It regulates the flow rate through a sliding switch structure, which is the same sliding switch structure used in the flushing device described above; the sliding switch 2 is electrically connected to the control board 6.

[0032] Specifically, the electric flushing device includes a housing 1, a sliding switch 2, a soft rubber component 3, a sliding knob 4, and a cover plate 5. The sliding switch 2, electrically connected to a control board 6, is located inside the housing 1. A groove 7 is provided on the surface of the housing 1, and the sliding rod 8 of the sliding switch 2 is located within the groove 7. The cover plate 5 is connected to the groove 7, and the sliding knob 4 is slidably mounted on the cover plate 5. A groove 9 is provided at the lower end of the sliding knob 4. The soft rubber component 3 seals and covers the groove 7 and is located between the sliding knob 4 and the sliding rod 8. Under the action of the groove 9 and / or the sliding rod 8, the soft rubber component 3 is forced to deform, so that the groove 9 matches the sliding rod 8. When the sliding knob 4 moves, it drives the sliding rod 8 to move through the soft rubber component 3, thereby adjusting the sliding switch 2.

[0033] The soft rubber part 3 refers to a flexible sealing component with elastic deformation capability, specifically made of silicone or rubber material. Its outer edge is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the slot 7, and its central area covers the opening of the slot 7. Under the pressure of the sliding button groove 9, the soft rubber part 3 creates a local indentation. The indented area wraps around the sliding rod 8 and moves with the sliding button 4, while maintaining a sealed connection with the edge of the slot 7. The cover plate 5 refers to a rigid support component covering the slot 7 of the housing 1. Specifically, it can be an injection-molded plastic part with a connecting structure matching the slot 7 on its outer periphery and a guide groove for the sliding button 4 to slide in the middle. The cover plate 5 provides a sliding track for the sliding button 4 and a pressing surface for the soft rubber part 3. The groove 9 of the sliding button 4 refers to the geometric recessed structure set at the bottom of the sliding button 4, which, under the interaction with the sliding rod 8, causes the soft rubber part 3 to deform towards the sliding rod 8 and contact it.

[0034] Specifically, when the slider 4 slides on the cover plate 5, the sidewall of its lower groove 9 applies lateral pressure to the soft rubber part 3, causing the soft rubber part 3 to undergo elastic deformation towards the slide rod 8. The deformed local area of ​​the soft rubber part 3 moves synchronously with the slider 4, thus always wrapping around the surface of the slide rod 8, forming physical contact. As the slider 4 continues to move, the deformed area of ​​the soft rubber part 3 drives the slide rod 8 to move synchronously through friction, thereby changing the conduction state of the sliding switch 2 and achieving stepless flow regulation. During this process, the soft rubber part 3 always covers the opening of the slot 7, and the slider 4 and slide rod 8 are in indirect contact through the soft rubber part 3, preventing external liquid from entering the housing 1. The cover plate 5 provides a stable sliding path for the slider 4, preventing the slider 4 from shifting and causing sealing failure. The geometry of the slider groove 9 constrains the deformation direction of the soft rubber part 3, ensuring that the operating force is effectively transmitted to the slide rod 8.

[0035] Compared to existing technologies, in traditional solutions, the slider 4 is directly connected to the slide rod 8 of the slide switch 2, requiring a sliding gap at the slot 7, resulting in poor sealing. This solution adds a soft rubber component 3 to form a dynamic sealing layer. The force transmission between the slider 4 and the slide rod 8 is achieved through the deformation of the soft rubber component 3, ensuring sealing while retaining the stepless adjustment function. Furthermore, the cover plate 5, as an independent component, connects to the slot 7 and, together with the soft rubber component 3, forms a double-sealing structure. Compared to solutions that directly create a slot in the housing 1, this makes it easier to ensure assembly accuracy and sealing reliability.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves stepless flow rate adjustment while effectively preventing external liquid from seeping into the housing 1 through the operating area of ​​the slide button 4. The soft rubber part 3 maintains a deformation-sealed state when the slide button 4 moves, avoiding seepage gaps caused by component wear or assembly errors. The sliding fit structure between the slide button 4 and the cover plate 5 simplifies the user interface design and improves the smoothness of the user's flow rate adjustment operation.

[0037] This application further proposes that it also includes a ball head 10, which is sleeved on the upper end of the slide bar 8.

[0038] The ball head 10 is a hemispherical or near-spherical component fitted onto the upper end of the slide rod 8, with a smooth curved surface. This ball head 10 serves as an intermediary contact between the slide rod 8 and the soft rubber part 3, forming a spherical contact motion. Its curved shape can adapt to the deformation trajectory of the groove 9 in the soft rubber part 3. Specifically, when the slider 4 slides, because the surface of the ball head 10 is curved, the deformation stress in the contact area between the soft rubber part 3 and the ball head 10 is dispersed when the slide rod 8 moves, preventing localized stress concentration that could lead to tearing or wear of the soft rubber part 3.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of insufficient sealing caused by the contact between the slide rod 8 and the external environment. The ball head 10, as a dynamic sealing medium, not only transmits the displacement force of the slide rod 8, but also disperses the stress through curved surface contact, maintaining the deformation sealing state of the soft rubber part 3, thereby preventing external liquid from invading the internal circuit structure of the housing 1 along the slide rod 8 and avoiding the circuit components from becoming damp and failing.

[0040] This application further proposes that the cover plate 5 is provided with a sliding groove 11 along the sliding direction of the slide rod 8, and the sliding button 4 is slidably disposed on the sliding groove 11.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sliding groove 11 refers to the elongated slot 7 formed on the surface of the cover plate 5 along the movement direction of the slide rod 8. It can be specifically implemented by injection molding or machining, and is used to constrain the movement trajectory of the sliding button 4. In this application, as... Figure 4 As shown, the slider 4 includes an operating part 12 and a sliding part 13 connected to the operating part 12. A snap-fit ​​groove 14 is provided on the side between the operating part 12 and the sliding part 13, and it is slidably snapped onto the side wall of the sliding groove 11.

[0042] The operating part 12 refers to the area where the user's fingers contact the force application area. Specifically, it can be implemented using a raised structure with anti-slip texture on the surface, used to receive external thrust to drive the slider 4 to move. The sliding part 13 is connected to the operating part 12 by screws. The locking groove 14 refers to a recessed structure provided on the outer wall of the connection between the operating part 12 and the sliding part 13, used to cooperate with the side wall of the sliding groove 11.

[0043] Specifically, when the operating part 12 is subjected to external force, the sliding button 4 is displaced along the extension direction of the sliding groove 11. The engagement between the locking groove 14 and the side wall of the sliding groove 11 prevents the sliding button 4 from deflecting perpendicular to the sliding direction during movement.

[0044] This application is as follows Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer periphery of the slot 7 is further provided with an annular groove 15, the outer periphery of the soft rubber part 3 is provided with an annular fixing part 16, the annular fixing part 16 is provided with an annular slot 17, which is fixed on the inner peripheral wall of the annular groove 15, the cover plate 5 is provided with an annular protrusion 18, and a stepped surface 19 is provided inside. The annular protrusion 18 is connected to the annular groove 15, and the stepped surface 19 is pressed on the annular fixing part 16.

[0045] The annular groove 15 refers to the annular groove 9 structure formed around the slot 7 on the outer periphery of the housing 1. It can be integrally molded using injection molding and is used to accommodate the annular fixing part 16 of the soft rubber part 3 and form the first sealing interface. The annular fixing part 16 refers to the annular flange structure extending outward from the outer edge of the soft rubber part 3. Its annular groove 17 forms a sealing fit with the inner wall of the annular groove 15 of the housing 1, used to limit the radial displacement of the soft rubber part 3. The annular protrusion 18 refers to the annular boss structure provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 5, whose outer diameter matches the outer diameter of the annular groove 15 of the housing 1. The stepped surface 19 refers to the vertical support surface formed at the root of the annular protrusion 18 on the inner side of the cover plate 5. It can be implemented through a stepped structure design and is used to apply axial pressure to the annular fixing part 16 of the soft rubber part 3.

[0046] Specifically, when the cover plate 5 is assembled with the housing 1, the annular groove 17 of the soft rubber part 3 first engages with the inner peripheral wall of the annular groove 15 of the housing 1 to form a seal. The annular protrusion 18 of the cover plate 5 is connected to the annular groove 15 of the housing 1. At this time, the stepped surface 19 contacts the upper surface of the annular fixing part 16 and applies a vertically downward pressing force. The annular groove 17 and the annular groove 15 achieve a sealed fit, and the continuous pressing force of the stepped surface 19 causes the soft rubber part 3 to undergo elastic deformation, filling the potential gap between the housing 1 and the cover plate 5, further achieving a seal on the slot 7. During the sliding of the slider 4, the main body of the soft rubber part 3 can undergo local deformation with the groove 9 of the slider 4, but the multiple sealing structure formed by the annular fixing part 16, the housing 1, and the cover plate 5 always maintains the sealed state of the fixed area, preventing liquid from seeping into the interior of the housing 1 along the sliding direction.

[0047] This solution forms a three-dimensional sealing structure through the radial positioning of the annular groove 17, the mechanical limiting of the annular protrusion 18, and the axial pressing of the stepped surface 19. Even under the high-frequency sliding condition of the slide button 4, the integrity of the sealing interface can still be maintained through the self-compensating characteristics of the elastic material.

[0048] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively blocks the path of external liquid to seep in through the gap between the slider 4 and the housing 1, solves the problem of circuit failure caused by liquid seepage at the sliding adjustment mechanism of the electric flusher, and ensures that the sliding freedom required for the operation of the slider 4 is not affected by the sealing structure.

[0049] This application further proposes to provide a mark 20 on the cover plate 5 along the adjustment direction of the sliding switch 2 to indicate the flow rate.

[0050] The adjustment direction refers to the direction of movement of the slide bar 8 of the sliding switch 2 within the slot 7. The mark 20 refers to a visual mark set along the movement path of the slide button 4. Specifically, it can be implemented using scale lines, numerical symbols, or color gradient bars. The position of the mark 20 corresponds to the stroke of the slide bar 8. When the slide button 4 points to a specific mark 20, it corresponds to a specific flow output of the pump body 22; or, symbols indicating the flow rate can be marked at both ends of the sliding groove 11 of the cover plate 5.

[0051] Specifically, as the slider 4 slides on the surface of the cover plate 5, it drives the slide rod 8 to move along the adjustment direction, and the markings 20 on the surface of the cover plate 5 are arranged in the same direction. When the slider 4 moves to different positions of the markings 20, it adjusts the conduction of the sliding switch 2, controlling the pump body 22 to output the corresponding flow rate value. Of course, the spacing density of the markings 20 can be non-uniformly distributed according to the flow rate change curve. For example, dense scales can be set in the low flow rate range to improve adjustment accuracy, and loose scales can be set in the high flow rate range to simplify operation. Indicator arrows can also be set on the edge of the slider 4. When the arrow is aligned with a specific marking 20, the user can intuitively confirm the current flow rate level. In this way, the displacement of the slider 4 can be converted into a visual flow rate parameter, realizing visual control of the adjustment process.

[0052] This application further proposes to include a push-button switch 21 in the electric flusher to control the pump body 22 to be turned on or off.

[0053] The push-button switch 21 is an independent control unit that controls the circuit by pressing it. Specifically, it can be implemented using a contact switch with a waterproof sealing ring, and its circuit connection is independent of the slide switch 2. This feature independently controls the start / stop state of the pump body 22, avoiding the coupling of flow regulation and power control functions.

[0054] Specifically, push-button switch 21 is configured to control only the on / off state of the power supply circuit to pump body 22, while slide switch 2 solely handles the stepless flow regulation function. When the user presses push-button switch 21, the power supply to pump body 22 is cut off or turned on. At this time, the position of the slider 4 of slide switch 2 does not affect the operating state of pump body 22. Thus, the start / stop operation of pump body 22 is limited to a single command action, and flow regulation is achieved through the linear displacement of slide switch 2. The functional isolation between the two allows push-button switch 21 to adopt a fully enclosed waterproof structure, while the sealed structure of slide switch 2 does not need to withstand the wear and tear caused by high-frequency start / stop operations.

[0055] Of course, it should be noted that electric flushers usually also include existing components such as pipes, flush heads, and power connectors, which will not be described in detail here.
