Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet accessories technology, and in particular to a toilet flushing side button structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and consumption capacity, the popularization and development of smart technology in home life has been promoted. The application of smart toilets has also gradually expanded to individual households. As a smart home, smart toilets not only have conventional functions such as bidet / feminine wash, seat heating, flushing after leaving the seat, and warm air drying, but also add a side button mechanical control method for flushing in case of power failure for the convenience of customers.

[0003] However, existing toilets with button-operated mechanical control systems have many structural parts, and the structure and mold making are too complex, making the product installation process too cumbersome, resulting in a lengthy assembly process and making it inconvenient for later disassembly and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To simplify the structure of the toilet flush button during power outages and facilitate easier installation and removal, this application provides a toilet flush side button structure.

[0005] The toilet flush button structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A toilet flush button structure, including

[0007] A button sleeve, wherein an axially penetrating sliding cavity is formed inside the button sleeve;

[0008] A push rod, which is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity along the axial direction, with one end extending to the outside of the button sleeve;

[0009] An elastic element is sleeved on the push rod, and its two ends abut against the inner wall of the button sleeve and the radial flange of the push rod, respectively.

[0010] A button, the button being connected to one end of the push rod extending to the outside of the button sleeve;

[0011] A limiting component is used to limit the axial displacement of the button to prevent the button from detaching from the button sleeve. The end of the push rod away from the button is inserted into the manual puller. Pressing the button drives the push rod to compress the elastic element and push the trigger of the manual puller to achieve manual flushing in case of power failure. After releasing the button, the elastic element resets and drives the push rod and button to reset.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component includes

[0013] A limiting edge is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the button;

[0014] The limiting groove is opened along the axial direction of the inner wall of the button sleeve. The limiting groove is slidably embedded in the limiting groove. The groove walls at both ends of the limiting groove will form a stop surface. The stop surface near the button end is an elastic barrier wall.

[0015] When the button is pressed and embedded in the sliding cavity, the limiting edge can squeeze the barrier wall to cause it to elastically deform, allowing the limiting edge to pass over the barrier wall and be inserted into the limiting groove. The axial limiting and anti-dislodgement of the button are achieved by the stop surface blocking the limiting edge.

[0016] Furthermore, the barrier wall has a guide slope on the side facing the button, the thickness of the barrier wall gradually decreases along the direction towards the interior of the sliding cavity, and the limiting edge has an inclined wall that matches the guide slope on the side facing the barrier wall.

[0017] Furthermore, the barrier wall is integrally molded from the elastic material of the button sleeve.

[0018] Furthermore, the limiting edge consists of multiple protrusions evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer wall of the button.

[0019] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the button is circular or rounded rectangle, and its end face facing the user is arc-shaped.

[0020] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting ball disposed at the end of the push rod, the limiting ball being disposed in the inner cavity of the manual puller, and the diameter of the limiting ball being larger than the cross-section of the push rod;

[0021] When the elastic element undergoes elastic deformation to drive the button to detach from the button sleeve, the limiting ball abuts against the inner wall of the manual puller to limit the axial displacement of the button.

[0022] Furthermore, the button and the push rod are detachably connected, the end of the push rod near the button is provided with a threaded section, and the end of the button is provided with a threaded hole for the push rod.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. Align the limiting edge of the button side wall with the limiting groove of the inner wall of the button sleeve and slide it in. No additional adjustment of the buckle position is required. The elastic barrier wall of the limiting groove near the button end will deform under the pressure of the limiting edge, allowing the limiting edge to smoothly lock into the groove. This avoids the problem of damage to parts caused by forceful hammering during the installation of traditional rigid buckles, improving installation efficiency and making installation simpler.

[0025] When in use, press the button, and the limit edge slides along the limit groove. The elastic deformation of the barrier wall can buffer the impact of pressing and avoid wear caused by hard collision between the limit edge and the groove wall. At the same time, the stop surfaces at both ends of the limit groove can limit the maximum pressing stroke and the reset stroke of the button respectively, preventing the push rod from excessively squeezing the puller or the button from falling off the button sleeve. After long-term use, the button can still maintain a stable sliding effect and will not jam due to loss of stroke control.

[0026] 2. During installation, the guide slope of the barrier wall facing the button guides the inclined wall of the limiting edge to automatically slide into the limiting groove, eliminating the need for repeated alignment. This is especially suitable for installation in narrow spaces on the side of the toilet, reducing installation difficulty. When in use, pressing the button causes the inclined wall of the limiting edge to slide along the guide slope and compress the barrier wall, converting the vertical pressing resistance into a sliding force in the inclined direction. This reduces the pressing force, making it easy for the elderly and children to operate. At the same time, the gradually thinning thickness design of the barrier wall along the sliding cavity concentrates the deformation in the thinner inner section, avoiding the problem of breakage caused by excessive local stress when the thickness is uniform. Even after long-term pressing, the barrier wall can still maintain stable elasticity, and the pressing feel will not fluctuate between loose and tight. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This application discloses a toilet flush button structure, referring to... Figures 1 to 3 The assembly includes a button sleeve 1, a push rod 2, an elastic element 3, a button 4, and a limiting component 5. The button sleeve 1 is integrally injection molded from ABS elastic plastic, forming an axially penetrating sliding cavity 11 inside. The push rod 2 slides axially within the sliding cavity 11. One end of the push rod 2 is inserted into a manual puller 6, and the other end of the push rod 2 is connected to the button 4. In this embodiment, the push rod 2 and the button 4 are integrally cast. In other embodiments, the push rod 2 and the button 4 can be detachably connected for easier assembly. An elastic element 3 is sleeved on the push rod 2. The elastic element 3 is a return spring. One end of the elastic element 3 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding cavity 11, and the other end of the elastic element 3 extends to the outside of the button sleeve 1 and abuts against the end of the button 4. The limiting component 5 is used to limit the axial displacement stroke of the button 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The outer contour of button 4 is circular or rounded rectangle, and its end facing the user is curved. During installation, the circular or rounded rectangle of button 4 does not need to be distinguished by the installation direction. It can be rotated at any angle to fit the side of the toilet, and there are no sharp edges or corners, so it will not scratch your hands during installation, thus increasing safety. When in use, the curved surface facing the user can fit the natural pressing posture of the fingers or palm, increasing the contact area and reducing local pressure. It will not cause finger pain after long-term use. The curved surface also allows water droplets to slide off naturally, making it less likely to leave stains. Cleaning only requires wiping with a cloth, without having to go into the recessed area, making maintenance more convenient. At the same time, the curved surface has high visual recognition, and the position of button 4 can be quickly located by touch when operating blindly, improving the convenience of use.

[0039] When button 4 is pressed, elastic element 3 is compressed, and push rod 2 moves toward the inner cavity of manual puller 6. Push rod 2 pushes manual puller trigger 61, realizing manual flushing in the event of a power outage. After releasing, elastic element 3 undergoes elastic deformation, pushing button 4 and push rod 2 to move in the opposite direction. Limiting component 5 can limit the axial displacement stroke of button 4, thereby allowing button 4 to reset.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting component 5 includes several limiting edges 51 fixedly connected to the periphery of the button 4. The limiting edges 51 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the periphery of the button 4. A limiting groove 52 is formed axially on the inner wall of the button sleeve 1. The limiting edges 51 can be slidably embedded in the limiting groove 52. The groove walls at both ends of the limiting groove 52 form stop surfaces, thereby limiting the axial movement distance of the limiting edges 51. The stop surface near the button 4 is an elastic barrier wall 53. The barrier wall 53 is integrally formed with the button sleeve 1, and a guide slope 54 is provided on the side of the barrier wall 53 facing the button 4. The thickness of the barrier wall 53 gradually decreases along the direction towards the interior of the sliding cavity 11, and an inclined wall parallel to the guide slope 54 is provided on the end of the limiting edge 51 facing the barrier wall 53.

[0041] The implementation principle of the toilet flushing side button structure in this application embodiment is as follows: During installation, the spring is sleeved on the push rod 2, and the limiting edge 51 of the side wall of the button 4 is aligned with the limiting groove 52 of the inner wall of the button sleeve 1 and slid in. No additional adjustment of the buckle position is required. The barrier wall 53 of the limiting groove 52 near the button 4 will deform under the pressure of the limiting edge 51, allowing the limiting edge 51 to smoothly engage in the limiting groove 52. This avoids the problem of damage to parts caused by forceful hammering during the installation of traditional rigid buckles, thus improving installation efficiency. During the installation process, the elastic deformation of the barrier wall 53 can buffer the pressing impact force and prevent the limiting edge 51 from hard collision with the groove wall, which would cause wear. The inclined wall on the limiting edge 51 abuts against the guide inclined surface 54, converting the vertical pressing resistance into sliding force, reducing the pressing force, and making it easy for the elderly and children to operate.

[0042] When in use, if the toilet needs to be flushed due to a power outage, the user presses button 4. Button 4 causes push rod 2 to move axially along sliding cavity 11, and push rod 2 compresses elastic element 3. At the same time, the end of push rod 2 away from button 4 pushes the trigger of manual pull device 6, triggering the flushing action. After releasing the button, elastic element 3 resets under its own elastic force, causing push rod 2 and button 4 to return to their original positions. At this time, the limiting edge 51 on the side wall of button 4 will abut against the barrier wall 53 near the end of the limiting groove 52 close to button 4, preventing button 4 from detaching from button sleeve 1.

[0043] The curved surface of button 4 conforms to the hand's pressing posture, reducing fingertip pressure and preventing fatigue during long-term use.

[0044] The barrier wall 53 and the button sleeve 1 are integrally molded without any seams, preventing moisture from seeping into the interior. This prevents the barrier wall 53 from falling off or softening, and it can maintain a stable anti-drop effect even after long-term use. The smoothness of the button 4 sliding does not decrease significantly, and its service life is extended compared to existing structures.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, referring to... Figure 5 The limiting component 5 includes a limiting ball 55, which is installed at the end of the push rod 2 away from the button 4 and located in the inner cavity of the manual puller 6. The diameter of the limiting ball 55 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the push rod 2, making it difficult for the limiting ball 55 to pass through the hole of the push rod 2 through the manual puller 6. In this embodiment, the limiting ball 55 and the push rod 2 are connected by threads. Both ends of the push rod 2 are provided with threaded ends. One end of the push rod 2 is inserted into the threaded hole of the matching limiting ball 55, and the other end of the push rod 2 is threadedly connected to the button 4.

[0047] Example 2 describes the implementation principle of a toilet flush side button structure as follows: During installation, the limiting ball 55 is first fixed to one end of the push rod 2 via a threaded connection. The limiting ball 55 is then placed inside the manual puller 6. The push rod 2 passes through the manual puller 6 and enters from one end of the sliding cavity 11 of the button sleeve 1. The elastic element 3 is fitted onto the push rod 2, and the button 4 is threaded to the other end of the push rod 2. This installation process eliminates the need to cut grooves in the inner wall of the button sleeve 1, saving the process of assembling the limiting groove 52 accessory in the traditional structure. Furthermore, the limiting ball 55 is directly integrated into the end of the push rod 2, without occupying external space on the side of the toilet.

[0048] In use, when the power is off, press button 4. Button 4 will move push rod 2 along sliding cavity 11. Push rod 2 will compress elastic element 3 and push the trigger of manual puller 6 to flush. After releasing, elastic element 3 will reset and push rod 2 and button 4 back to their original positions. When button 4 tends to detach from button sleeve 1, the limiting ball 55 at the end of push rod 2 will abut against the inner wall of manual puller 6, restricting push rod 2 from moving further and thus preventing button 4 from falling off.

[0049] 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.
