DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Herein give a detailed description for the present invention assisted with attached figures as follows.

In this invention, the centralized control valve, the valve control device 10 adopts various possible valve control devices in the background patent technology to locate the vertical position of a valve shaft then to switch or regulate a supply water.

Two eccentric hinge pieces 22 are tightened at lower end of a valve shaft/stem 11 which is tightened under a centralized control button 14 as a whole; said hinge pieces 22 are just clamped outside of front and rear of a ceramic valve core handle 12 which must be ensured that relative motion of the valve stem 11 driving the valve core handle 12 is flexible; A hinge rod 23 is tightened to the lower part of said hinge pieces 22 and embedded in a penetrated hinge groove 21 with mouth opened right upwards on upper part of valve core handle 12 which must be ensured their relative motion of said hinge rod 23 driving said valve core handle 12 is flexible;

In FIG. 1 or 2, the hinge rod 23 should be in a horizontal pose and arranged parallel to the hinge groove 21, the inclined direction of the hinge groove needs to accord with the eccentric direction of the hinge pieces 22 and the hinge rod 23 which should be located on the same side of the valve shaft, so as to realize the design function and flexible operation. Said the hinge pieces, the hinge rod and the hinge groove configure a valve hinge (mechanism) to connect the valve stem with the valve core handle. Thereby, with which the vertical movement of pressing or lifting the valve shaft 11 will be converted into a deflexion rightwards of the valve core handle 12 of ceramic valve core around itself axis 15, and the horizontal rotation of the valve shaft around itself shaft axis will be transferred to valve core handle 12.

When the ceramic valve core 13 is in its closed position, as shown in FIG. 1, by pressing the centralized control button 14 to drive the valve shaft 11 vertically downwards, the hinge rod 23 tightened with the valve shaft will force the valve core handle to rotate clockwise around itself axis 15 via the hinge groove 21, finally dock at the opened position of the ceramic valve core 13; As shown in FIG. 2, when the valve stem moves vertically upwards (as can be known by background technology, after releasing the pressing on a button, the reset spring under the button will force the valve stem to move upwards), the hinge rod 23 will force the valve core handle to dock at its original vertical position, the closed position of the ceramic valve core, by pressing the button 14 repeatedly, the hinge so acts repeatedly to perform the switching operation of the ceramic valve core. For flow adjustable valve control devices, as the valve shaft can be docked at any position between the highest closed and lowest opened positions, the hinge rod 23 will force the ceramic valve core handle to dock at a position corresponding uniquely to that of the valve shaft, thereby the flow regulating is performed.

The flow adjustable valve control device in the background technology can force the valve shaft 11 to locate at any position of its vertical full journey, which correspond uniquely to an angle of deflexion rightwards of the valve core handle 12 forced to rotate, namely the opened extent, thus the flow regulation function of the ceramic valve core 13 can be realized.

When the valve shaft 11 is docked at any position of its vertical full journey, including the opened and closed positions, rotating the press-knob button 14 rightwards or leftwards, the hinge pieces 22 tightened to the valve shaft will rotate the valve core handle 12 leftwards or rightwards, thereby the selection of multiple water inlets can be realized.

The following hinge mechanism can substitute for said valve hinge (mechanism) configured by the hinge rod 23 and the hinge groove 21:

A wedge 61 tightened to the lower end of the valve stem 11 and to the upper left side of the hinge pieces 22 located on upper left side of the valve core handle 12, which inclined surface opposites to the upper left angle of the valve core handle 12, a recovery rod 62 tightened to the lower right side of the hinge pieces 22 is located under lower right of a curved surface of upper right part of the valve core handle 12, wherein, said inclined surface and curved surface are parallel to the axis of said recovery rod 62.

when the valve stem 11 moves vertically downwards, the inclined surface of the wedge 61 will drive the valve core handle 12 to rotate clockwise through its said upper left angle, and when the valve stem 11 moves vertically upwards, the recovery rod 62 will force the valve core handle 12 to rotate counterclockwise through its said curved surface then return to its initial closed position.

In this invention, only one button is mounted on top of a water valve, said centralized control button or press-knob button 14, which is integrated with all operations of switch and/or regulation of water flow of a single water inlet valve or all operations of switch and/or regulation of water flow and/or selection of inlets of a multiple water inlets valve, any switching of the work status of the centralized control valve all requires manual operation, full manually, facility for operation, saving for water, betterment for living quality, decoration for house.

Commonly, the single inlet water valve of ordinary skill switches water by rotating a knob on its top, or by pressing to open then close automatically. In this invention, it's a varied scene beyond imaged. A large angle oblique external thread accessory 33 tightened to the upper end of the single valve core handle 32 of a single inlet water valve is meshed with a large angle oblique internal thread accessory 34 tightened at the lower end of the valve stem 11, said two large angle oblique thread accessories meshed each other to configure a large angle oblique thread pair, a valve hinge mechanism to convert a straight line movement into a rotation movement; wherein by pressing or lifting the button 14, the vertically moving valve stem 11 will rotate the single valve core handle 32 to turn leftwards or rightwards via said large angle oblique thread pair to switch or regulate single supply water flow, therein said internal and external threads of the large angle oblique thread pair can be replaced mutually.

As shown in FIG. 3, what called the large-angle oblique thread pair indicates the angle between the internal or external thread line and a reference horizontal plane is much more large than usual, which may be more than 45°, when one of the thread is forced to move along itself axial direction, another meshed thread which can be rotated around itself axis but cannot be moved axially or radially will be flexibly rotated around itself axis without thread jam or self-locking.

As shown in FIG. 4, a parallel shaft worm gear pair 41 can substitute for the large angle oblique thread pair said above and what their work principle is the same, one of worm gear/shaft accessory is tightened to the upper end of the single valve core handle 32 of a single inlet valve core and another worm gear/shaft accessory is tightened at the lower end of the valve shaft 11; furthermore

The large angle oblique thread pair can be replaced by an inclined groove fork 51 tightened at the lower end of a valve shaft 11 to drive a lever 52 tightened at the upper end of the single valve core handle 32 which configure an inclined fork lever hinge via an inclined groove 53 to realize said same conversion, as shown in FIG. 5, the vertical movement of the inclined groove fork 51 will rotate the lever 52 to a certain angle around its axis namely the valve core handle vertical axis by the inclined groove 53 to realize switch or regulation for supply water, wherein the inclination of the inclined groove 53 should be kept at an appropriate value to avoid to be blocked or no action, said inclination indicates the angle value configured by an extension direction of the inclined groove 53 with a reference vertical direction, which absolute value should be >0° and <90°.
