Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, this embodiment provides a button structure, including a plate-shaped body 10 and a first button unit 20. The plate-shaped body 10 is provided with a through hole 101. The first button unit 20 includes a pressing member 201, a decorative member 202 disposed on the edge of the pressing member 201, and a connecting member 203 for resetting or maintaining the pressing member 201 in the through hole 101. The pressing member 201 is provided with a first mounting part 2011 that is assembled with the decorative member 202, and the decorative member 202 is provided with a second mounting part 2021 that is detachably connected to the first mounting part 2011.

[0023] The plate-shaped body 10 disclosed herein can be a ceramic plate, wood plate, acrylic plate, or metal plate, etc., and preferably can be made into a toilet tank cover structure to form a button structure for the toilet tank. As for the pressing element 201, it can be a button structure of different shapes, or it can be a simpler plate or block structure to form a structure design for people to press.

[0024] During assembly, the decorative piece 202 is installed on the edge of the pressing part 201. The decorative piece 202 can be colored, or patterns, text, logos, or etched textures can be added to it to decorate the edge. In terms of design, the first mounting part 2011 and the second mounting part 2021 can be fitted together using a snap-fit ​​or interlocking structure. For example, a through-hole can be designed on the pressing part 201, and a barb can be designed on the decorative piece 202 to mate with the through-hole, creating an interlocking effect for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0025] Of course, in other usage scenarios, bolts, nuts, or screws can be used for locking to form a secure connection. Alternatively, adhesive, welding, or riveting can be used to create a fixed installation with good stability. Or, a magnetic structure can be used to create a magnetically attracted installation; for example, permanent magnets can be placed on the pressing part 201 and the decorative part 202 respectively, allowing for a detachable connection through magnetic attraction. These multiple installation methods enhance its adaptability to different usage environments.

[0026] Furthermore, to secure the first button unit 20 within the through hole 101, the pressing member 201 is connected to the plate-like body 10 via a connector 203. The connector 203 can be a combination of a spring and a horizontal plate structure. For example, through a straight or I-shaped horizontal plate design, the pressing member 201 is hinged to the inner side of the plate-like body 10, and then a torsion spring 2032 is sleeved on the shaft, giving the pressing member 201 a reset function. When the user presses the button, the torsion spring 2032 is compressed, and the button moves downwards to trigger the travel; after releasing the button, the torsion spring 2032 releases its elasticity, pushing the button back to its initial position.

[0027] The decorative component 202 disclosed herein has a decorative coating (not shown) on its outer surface. The decorative coating can be a paint coating or an electroplated coating, and can be made into different graphics, characters, or colors. Different designs can be created to form different colors, and different decorative components 202 can be used interchangeably.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the plate-shaped body 10 of this disclosure is provided with a hinge seat 102 and a spring seat 103 on the same side of the through hole 101. The hinge shaft of the hinge part 2031 is provided on the hinge seat 102, the torsion spring 2032 and one end of it are provided on the spring seat 103, and the other end of the torsion spring 2032 is provided on the pressing member 201.

[0029] Specifically, the pressing member 201 can be hinged together using the hinge seat 102 and the shaft, allowing the pressing member 201 to rotate around the hinge shaft and achieve the button pressing operation. The torsion spring 2032 is mounted on the torsion spring 2032 seat, with one end of the torsion spring 2032 in contact with the pressing member 201 and the other end connected to the plate 10 or the hinge seat 102. This compression occurs when the button is pressed, and when the pressure is released, the torsion spring 2032 rebounds to push the pressing member 201 back to its original position, achieving the button reset function. Simultaneously, the pressing member 201 can be held within the through hole 101, forming a stable structural design.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pressing member 201 of this disclosure is provided with a stop block 2012 on the side away from the hinge portion 2031 to prevent itself from rotating out of the through hole 101. The stop block 2012 is a transversely protruding structure of the pressing member 201, which can prevent the pressing member 201 from being driven out of the through hole 101 by the torsion spring 2032, thus avoiding the situation of popping out of the through hole 101 and achieving the blocking effect.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner surface of the pressing member 201 of this disclosure is provided with a contact portion 2013 for improving friction or pressing engagement during contact. The contact portion 2013 can be multiple strip-shaped protrusions, which can improve the pressing contact stability of this part. In a specific implementation, the strip-shaped protrusions can be designed with silicone or rubber materials to improve friction during pressing contact. Alternatively, multiple strip-shaped protrusions can be integrally designed or set as metal parts to form a high-strength structure, thereby maintaining stability and durability during pressing. In addition, the protrusions of the contact portion 2013 can also be designed with different shapes, such as wavy, sawtooth, or dotted structures, to improve design flexibility.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure also includes a second button unit 30 arranged side by side with the first button unit 20, and the structure of the second button unit 30 is the same as that of the first unit.

[0033] Specifically, the design of the second button unit 30 allows for collaborative operation between multiple button units, creating a two-button design that enables different function triggers on the same operating surface, meeting diverse user needs. For example, a button design with different water flow rates can be implemented on the toilet, allowing for selection between large and small flushes, or switching between cold and hot water, by setting multiple button units.

[0034] To easily distinguish between the first button unit 20 and the second button unit 30, different colors, sizes, shapes, or markings can be used in their appearance design, allowing users to intuitively identify the functions corresponding to different button units. Furthermore, anti-slip textures or raised markings can be added to the surface of the button units to enhance tactile feedback and improve the convenience and accuracy of user operation. Moreover, multiple button units can achieve independent operation through an independent hinge structure, ensuring that the operation of each button unit does not interfere with each other.

[0035] Specifically, the first button unit 20 and the second button unit 30 can be distinguished by using presses 201 of the same shape but different sizes, such as circular, polygonal or elliptical structures, to enhance the user's operating experience through visual and tactile differences.

[0036] Example 2 This embodiment provides a toilet, including a button structure as shown in Embodiment 1. The button structure can be designed as a flush button for the toilet, for example, a two-button design to select between a large flush and a small flush. In practical applications, this button structure is not only suitable for toilet flush control but can also be widely used in other devices requiring multi-mode operation, such as cold and hot water switching buttons and water flow adjustment buttons on smart toilets. Decorative parts can be used to beautify the button's appearance and provide some protection, preventing dust from entering the button's internal structure. Furthermore, the design of the decorative parts can be coordinated with the overall style of the button, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the product. For example, specific patterns or brand logos can be engraved on the surface of the decorative parts to enhance product recognition and texture. In addition, the decorative parts can be designed in conjunction with lighting effects to ensure good visibility at night or in low-light environments, further improving the user experience.

[0037] 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.
