  • Patent number: 9790675
    Abstract: A double flow control mechanism of a soft touch drain valve and a double flow control method, includes a base, a float component and a starting component. The base is assembled with a valve body. The float component is has a flowing passage and can move relative to the base to open and close the drainage opening. The flowing passage connects the inside and the outside of the float chamber of the float component. The starting component controls the size of the flowing passage. The first starting switch can open a smaller flowing passage of the float component; the resultant force drains a first drainage volume of water. The second starting switch can open a larger flowing passage of the float component; the resultant force drains a second drainage volume of water.

  • Patent number: 9587387
    Abstract: A dual-drainage switching mechanism of water tank has: a water container with bottom opening of the inner cavity, an air vent communicating with the inner cavity is arranged on the sealed top; a valve unit used for controlling opens or closes of the air vent; a drain valve controller comprising a partial flush button and a full flush button, and the air vent is opened through the linking and coupling of the full flush button and the valve unit, and the air vent is closed through the linking and coupling of the partial flush button and the valve unit. The dual-draining switch is achieved through hermetically storing or non-hermetically controlling part of water body in the inner cavity of the water container, traditional one-pressing drain valve can be transformed into the draining control mechanism with dual-draining function.

  • Publication number: 20140216583
    Abstract: A water drain accelerating device has a base with a discharge port connected to a flush way assembled inside a water tank. An overflow hole is connected to the discharge port. An overflow pipe is plugged to the base. The bottom of the overflow pipe is connected to the overflow hole. A negative pressure pipe is connected to the overflow pipe. Negative pressure generates inside the overflow pipe when the base is draining. Water inside the water tank flows out of the discharge port when water drains. The water level inside the cavity of the negative pressure pipe falls down with the water level inside the water tank. Negative pressure generates inside the overflow pipe, so air inside the overflow pipe can't enter into the discharge port through the overflow hole. An air pipe extends from the overflow hole to the flush way.
