The operating portion of the conventional remote-controlled drain plug device has the following problems.
Conventionally, there has been a problem of making it possible to easily visually confirm the open/closed state of the valve body of a remote-controlled drain plug device. . In order to solve this problem, we compared the opening/closing state of the valve body from the tank body by comparing two states, that is, the state in which the operation part protrudes from the mounting surface, or the state in which the mounting surface and the operation surface of the operation unit are flush with each other. In order to make it visible even from a certain distance, there is a device in which the operation body and the operation part are connected, and the opening/closing state of the valve body is judged from the position of the operation surface of the operation part.
However, in the case of such a device in which the operating part and the operating body are connected and fixed, it is necessary to clean the inside of the overflow port or the overflow pipe after installing the remote-operated drain plug device on the washbasin or the like, or perform maintenance in the event of a failure. However, in the structure of the operating part of this conventional remote-controlled drain plug device, since the operating part and the operating body are connected and fixed, the operating part can be removed from the overflow port. Without removing it, when cleaning the inside of the overflow port or performing maintenance in the event of a failure such as the release wire, it was very large-scale, such as removing the entire tank body. .
In order to avoid such a problem, the remote-controlled drain plug device described in the above-mentioned patent document is designed so that the operating part and the operating body are not connected.
However, if the operating part and the operating body are not connected to each other, the operating part is separated from the operating body due to the repulsive force of the operating part itself when the user pushes the operating part, and the operating part is operated from the side of the tank body. In the worst case, the operation part may fall off.
In addition, if the user presses and operates the operation unit while his or her fingers are wet, the operation surface of the operation unit may be displaced by the user's fingers due to the action of the surface tension of the water adhering to the user's fingers because the operation unit and the operating body are not connected. It sticks to the valve body and jumps out to a position unrelated to the opening and closing of the valve body, and even if the operation part is visually recognized, the opening and closing of the valve body cannot be accurately recognized.

As described above, the present invention solves the following problems.
1. To enable cleaning and maintenance of an overflow pipe and the inside of installation after construction.
2. To prevent an operation part from popping out or falling off from an installation location due to recoil or the like when the operation part is operated.
3. To prevent an operation part from jumping out of an attachment part due to the surface tension of water adhering to fingers.
4. To make it possible to visually recognize that an operation surface of an operation part protrudes from the surface of a tank body or to be flush with the surface of the tank body, and to recognize opening and closing of a valve body according to the position of the operation part.

The operating portion structure of the above-described remote controlled drain plug device operates as follows.
When the valve body 2 of the drain port 12 is raised to open the drain port 12 as shown in FIG. When moved, the driver 91 of the first operating body 5 integrally formed on the back surface of the operating section 4 also moves horizontally. Then, the driving element 91 comes into contact with the inclined surface 92 of the second operating body 6, and the second operating body 6 is positioned so as to be vertically movable but not horizontally movable. The second operating body 6 moves downward while moving. That is, the horizontal motion direction of the driver 91 of the first motion body 5 is converted into vertical motion, and the second motion body 6 moves downward.
Then, the inner wire 31 of the release wire 3 connected to the second operating body advances along with the movement of the second operating body 6, the inner wire 31 is released from the holding mechanism 34, and the release wire 3 returns. The inner wire 31 retreats due to the biasing force of the spring 33 .

When the operation surface 41 of the operation unit 4 is pushed horizontally again from the state where the drain port 12 is closed, the driver 91 of the first operating body 5 integrally formed on the back surface of the operation unit 4 also moves horizontally. do. Then, the driving element 91 comes into contact with the inclined surface 92 of the second operating body 6, and the second operating body 6 is positioned so as to be vertically movable but not horizontally movable. The second operating body 6 moves downward while moving. That is, the horizontal motion direction of the driver 91 of the first motion body 5 is converted into vertical motion, and the second motion body 6 moves downward.
Then, the inner wire 31 of the release wire 3 advances, and the lever body 21 connected to the other end of the inner wire 31 moves upward in conjunction with the advancement of the inner wire 31 . Then, the movement of the inner wire 31 is held by the holding mechanism portion 34 . When the inner wire 31 is held, the inner wire 31 advances by a preset play length and then retreats by the play length of the return spring 33 . In this state, as shown in FIG. 4A, the operation surface 41 of the operation unit 4 is substantially flush with the side surface of the tank body 1. As shown in FIG. In addition, since the lever body 21 rises, the valve body 2 also rises as shown in FIG. becomes possible.
After that, by repeating the operation of the operation unit 4, the drain port 12 can be opened and closed.
The first operating body 5 and the second operating body 6 are connected because the driver 91 is arranged in the guide portion 7 . Therefore, when the user releases the operation portion 4 and the valve body 2 of the drain port 12 is closed, the operation surface 41 of the operation portion 4 is reliably positioned on the side surface of the tank body 1 as shown in FIG. 5(b). When the valve body 2 of the drain port 12 is opened, the operation surface 41 of the operation portion 4 is reliably flush with the side surface of the tank body 1 as shown in FIG. 5(a). The position of the first operating body 5 is also reliably determined according to the position of the second operating body 6, and the operation section 4 is prevented from moving arbitrarily due to surface tension or the like.

The detachment after construction of the first action body 5 and the second action body 6 which are the operation part 4 is performed in the following procedures.
When removing the first operating body 5 from the second operating body 6, as shown in FIG. 7(a), when the operating portion 4 is pulled horizontally with a suction cup or the like, the drive moves along with the backward movement in the horizontal direction. Since the second operating body 6 is once moved upward by the element 91 as shown in FIG. . When the first operating body 5 is released, the second operating body 6 falls vertically downward by its own weight to a position where it abuts on the release wire as shown in FIG. 7(c). The state of FIG. 7(c) is when the valve body 2 is in the open state. Although not shown, when the valve body 2 is in the closed state, the second operating body 6 has already moved upward in the vertical direction. Therefore, even if the first operating body 5 is removed, the second operating body 6 will not drop due to its own weight, and will remain in the proper position.
6(a), when attaching the first operating body 5 to the second operating body 6, insert the first operating body 5 into the overflow pipe 13 through the overflow port 14, and The driving element 91 of the operating body 5 comes into contact with the inclined surface of the upper portion of the guide portion 7 of the lowered second operating body 6 . When the first operating body 5 is pushed horizontally while the driving element 91 is in contact with the upper portion of the guide portion 7 , the contact between the guiding portion 7 and the driving element 91 causes the second operating body 6 to move downward in the vertical direction. At this time, since a play space is formed below the second operating body 6, it can be lowered by the play space. When the second operating body 6 descends, the sliding portion 8 of the driving element 91 comes into contact with the sliding portion 8 of the guiding portion 7 as shown in FIG. While contacting the guide portion 7 of the operating body 6, it can be smoothly introduced into the recessed groove 51 from the detachable portion 71 as shown in FIG. 6(c). At this time, since the sliding portion 8 makes the angle of inclination sharper toward the introduction direction, the introduction becomes smoother.
As described above, since the first operating body 5 and the second operating body 6 can be easily attached and detached even after construction, cleaning of the overflow port 14 and maintenance can be easily performed.

In addition to the embodiments described above, the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of the claims.
The structure of the drive mechanism section 9 is not limited to the above embodiment. Any mechanism may be used as long as it converts the direction of movement of the first operating body 5 to that of the second operating body 6 . Although not shown, a gear structure for direction change, an arm structure, or the like may be employed.
The shape of the guide portion 7 is not limited to the above embodiment. Any shape may be used as long as it guides the movement of the drive element 91 . For example, claw-like protrusions may be engaged with each other.
In the above embodiment, the direction of motion of the first operating body 5 is the horizontal direction, and the direction of motion of the second operating body 6 is the vertical direction, but the directions are not limited to these directions. For example, the first operating body 5 may be operated in the vertical direction, and the second operating body 6 may be operated in the horizontal direction. Inclination direction, etc. may also be used.
The shape of the detachable portion 71 is not limited to the above embodiment.
