When the inner frame 41 is mounted on the body 10, the connecting piece 12 fixed at the front end of the valve rod 111 of the pressing valve core 11 is located between the two extending portions 412, and the two protrusions thereon also form sliding fit with the two sliding slots 411 respectively, so that when the inner frame 41 rotates relative to the body 10 around the first axial direction, the matching between the sliding slots 411 and the protrusions drives the inner frame 41 to convert the rotation of the inner frame 41 relative to the body 10 into the sliding of the valve rod 111 in the axial direction thereof, so that a user can operate the pressing valve core 11 by operating the pressing piece 40.

A through shaft hole 415 is formed at the upper end of the inner frame 41 along the first axial direction, the shaft hole 415 is used for installing the rotating shaft 31, and two limiting grooves 413 are further concavely arranged at the upper end of the inner frame 41 along the first axial direction, and the groove walls of the two limiting grooves 413 intersect with the shaft hole 415, i.e. the shaft hole 415 passes through the groove walls of the two limiting grooves 413. Clamping connectors 414 are further provided at both ends of the inner frame 41, and the clamping connectors 414 are used for forming a clamping fit with the face cover 42 to fix the face cover 42.

The face cover 42 may be regarded as a cover-shaped member having a half-surrounding structure, which can surround the inner frame 41 and is fixed to the inner frame 41. Specifically, the two ends of the face cover 42 have a limiting portion 422 extending toward the pressing valve core 11, and a shielding portion 421 located at the lower end of the face cover 42 and extending toward the pressing valve core 11, the limiting portion 422 and the shielding portion 421 form a main structure that the face cover 42 surrounds the inner frame 41, meanwhile, the limiting portion 422 of the face cover 42 is provided with clamping holes 423, and the positions of the clamping holes 423 correspond to the clamping joints 414 on the inner frame 41 one by one, so that the clamping joints 414 can form clamping fit with the surface cover 42 to fix the face cover 42 on the inner frame 41; meanwhile, the limiting part 422 of the face cover 42 can also play a role in limiting the rotating shaft 31 to be separated from the shaft hole 415 on the inner frame 41, the rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the shaft hole 415 during installation, and then the face cover 42 is clamped to the inner frame 41, so that the limiting part 422 on the face cover 42 can be abutted against the rotating shaft 31, and the rotating shaft 31 is prevented from being separated from the shaft hole 415.

The fixing member 21 is fixed to the body 10 and is connected to the inner frame 41 to rotate around the first axial direction. Specifically, the fixing member 21 has a main body and two rotating shaft portions 211 extending from the main body in a direction away from the pressing valve core 11, and the rotating shaft portions 211 are provided with through holes for the rotating shaft 31 to pass through; the main body of the fixing member 21 can be fixed on the main body 10 by the fixing bolt 22 and is located approximately at the inner side of the upper portion of the opening 101, at this time, the rotating shaft portion 211 extends outward toward the main body 10, and the rotating shaft portion 211 can extend into the limiting groove 413 on the inner frame 41 and make the through hole on it correspond to the shaft hole 415 on the inner frame 41; at this time, the rotating shaft 31 can simultaneously penetrate through the inner frame 41 and the fixing member 21, so that the inner frame 41 can rotate relative to the fixing member 21 and further rotate relative to the body 10, and the limit fit between the rotating shaft portion 211 and the inner frame 41 in the first axial direction can also prevent the inner frame 41 from loosening in the first axial direction.

During installation, the fixing member 21 is fixed on the body 10 through the fixing bolt 22, then the inner frame 41 is connected with the fixing member 21 through the rotating shaft 31, meanwhile, the sliding groove 411 is matched with the protrusion on the connecting member 12, and then the surface cover 42 is clamped and fixed on the inner frame 41.

When the valve is used, a user presses the surface cover 42 to drive the valve rod 111 of the pressing valve core 11 to move, so that the water channel of the pressing valve core 11 is switched.

It should be noted that, in the case that a plurality of pressing valve cores 11 are provided, a plurality of pressing pieces 40 are provided, and each pressing piece 40 corresponds to one pressing valve core 11, and the valve rod 111 of each pressing valve core 11 is slidably connected to the slide slot 411 of the pressing piece 40 through a connecting piece 12.

Further, in the present embodiment, a position where the pressing piece 40 is rotatably connected to the body 10 is provided on an upper side of the opening 101, and the opening 101 has a size suitable for a lower end of the pressing piece to protrude into the opening 101 so that a sufficient pressing stroke of the stem pressing the valve body 11 can be obtained. Meanwhile, in the case where the face cap 42 of the pressing piece 40 is provided with the shielding portion 421, the inner wall surface of the body 10 near the lower end of the opening 101 is provided with an inclined portion 102 extending in the first direction toward the outside of the opening 101 and inclined downward, the inclined portion 102 is adapted to provide a space for the shielding portion 421 to give way when the pressing piece 40 rotates relative to the body 10, and the shielding portion 421 is still located in the opening 101 when the valve stem 111 of the pressing piece 11 is at the maximum protruding position.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 3, when the lower end edge of the opening 101 protrudes to the left side of the upper end edge thereof with respect to the vertical direction, such a structure enables the face cover 42 of the pressing member 40 to be in a state of being flush with the opening 101 on the outer side wall surface thereof, i.e., in the state shown in fig. 2, the pressing member 40 can be in a certain inclined state with respect to the vertical direction, which not only provides a more beautiful appearance, but also facilitates the user to operate the pressing member 40 in a slightly inclined posture, and allows water to flow along the outer side wall surface of the pressing member 40, thereby preventing water accumulation from being formed above the pressing member. At this time, since the body 10 is provided with the inclined portion 102 at the opening 101, in the state shown in fig. 2, the lower end of the pressing member 40 still has a certain distance from the inner wall of the opening 101, and then the user presses the face cover 42, the pressing member 40 rotates toward the inside of the opening 101, and the lower end of the pressing member 40 starts to move toward the inclined portion 102, at this time, the inclined portion 102 enables the pressing member 40 to rotate for a sufficient stroke without interfering with the pressing member 40 until the valve stem 111 of the pressing valve core 11 is pressed in place; the valve rod 111 can be bounced outwards after being pressed, and reaches the maximum extending position, the maximum extending position is the position where the valve rod 111 extends the longest relative to the body 10 of the pressing valve core 11, when the valve rod 111 is at the maximum extending position, the pressing piece 40 can be jacked up, so that the pressing piece 40 protrudes out of the opening 101, and at this time, the end of the shielding part 421 on the pressing piece 40 can also move in the yielding space provided by the middle inclined part 102 without interfering with the body 10.

The utility model provides a shower device presses down case 11 including foretell button structure, presses down case 11 and installs in body 10 and be connected with pressing member 40.

The utility model provides a button structure and shower bath, because the spout 411 sliding fit on the valve rod 111 of pressing case 11 and the pressing piece 40, the user can also turn into the endwise slip of valve rod 111 after turning into the rotation action of pressing piece 40 to the operation of pressing piece 40, thereby realize the operation of pressing down to pressing the case 11, convenience when can improving user operation, simultaneously because the pressing piece 40 is installed in the opening 101 department of body 10, and can the closing cap opening 101, consequently, can make opening 101 department keep leveling beautifully, the user can not cut by opening 101's edge yet.
