Flush valve
A flush valve has a relief valve that has a stationary valve element and a rotatable valve element each having at least one opening, and being rotationally positionable relative to one another to regulate fluid flow. A disc contacts a diaphragm valve seat to form a seal between the disc and the diaphragm valve seat when the diaphragm assembly is in the closed position and with the relief valve closed. When the flush valve is activated, the relief valve is opened to permit a flow of water from the chamber into the fluid outlet. The opening of the relief valve relieves fluid pressure in the chamber and causes diaphragm assembly to move from the closed position to the opened position. The disc is unseated from the valve seat which permits water to pass from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet when the diaphragm assembly is in the open position.

Vacuum operated valve
A fill valve with pressure chamber having an open bottom end and a diaphragm at a top end such that falling water level in the toilet tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a first direction, thereby moving a sealing member to an open position, with a venturi in the fill valve keeping the sealing member in the open position until water refilling the tank causes the diaphragm to flex in a second direction, thereby moving the sealing member back to the closed position.

Flush Valve With Relief Valve Having Axially-Translatable Valve Element
A flush valve has a relief valve including a stationary relief valve housing and an axially-translatable valve element. The axially-translatable valve element has an axial end that can be selectively translated to unseal an upper opening in a relief passageway through the stationary relief valve housing in order to permit fluid flow therethrough in order to initiate a flush cycle by the lifting of a diaphragm assembly. The axially-translatable valve element may include lead screw-like features which can be used to axially drive the axially-translatable valve element relative to the stationary relief valve housing to open or close the relief valve.

Flush Valve
A flush valve has a valve body, a relief assembly, and a solenoid valve assembly. The valve body has a flushing tube. The solenoid valve assembly has a seal, an assembling mount, a solenoid valve, and a power supply. The seal is disposed between a diaphragm of the relief assembly and an intake end of the flushing tube. The assembling mount has a disk. A first reserving space is formed between the disk and the relief assembly. The solenoid valve is assembled to the assembling mount. A second reserving space is formed between the solenoid valve and the assembling mount and communicates with the first reserving space. The solenoid valve has a blocking unit to prevent the first reserving space and the second reserving space from communicating with each other. The power supply is electrically connected to the solenoid valve.
Flush Valve with a Power Generation Function
A flush valve has a valve body having a flushing tube, a power generating set, and a solenoid valve assembly. The power generating set is disposed within the flushing tube and has a turbine capable of rotating, an induction coil, and a magnet inserted through the induction coil and capable of simultaneously rotating with the water turbine. The solenoid valve assembly has an assembling mount, a solenoid valve assembled to the assembling mount, and a power supply electrically connected to both the induction coil and the solenoid valve. A first reserving space is formed between the assembling mount and a relief assembly. A second reserving space is formed between the solenoid valve and the assembling mount and communicates with the first reserving space. The solenoid valve optionally prevents the first reserving space and the second reserving space from communicating with each other.
Flow diverter with antisiphon
A flow diverter for diverting flow between a toilet bowl and a toilet tank, having: a body having an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet; and a flow adjustment mechanism rotatable within the body to selectively divert different percentages of flow between the first outlet and the second outlet; and an air vent and diaphragm in the body to prevent a siphon flow from the first or second outlet back to the inlet.
