DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(8) As showed in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, an exploded diagram, a partial explosion diagram, and a cross-sectional view showing a quantitative pressing structure according to the present invention are respectively disclosed.

(9) The quantitative pressing structure comprises a pressing structure (1), an assembling seat (2), a piston tube (3), a lid (37), a pressing portion (38), and a plurality of limiting kits (7).

(10) The assembling seat (2) is disposed on the pressing structure (1) and has a first assembling hole (21) and a second assembling hole (22).

(11) The piston tube (3) disposed at a bottom of the first assembling hole (21) of the assembling seat (2) and comprises a piston (31) accommodated in the piston tube (3), and the piston (31) has a piston rod (311) extended from an upper end of the piston (31). The piston rod (311) is provided with an upper supporting piece (32) at the upper end thereof and a lower supporting piece (33) at a lower end thereof. A supporting portion (34) is disposed between the lower supporting piece (33) and an inner edge of the piston tube (3). An elastic member (35) is disposed between the upper supporting piece (32) and the lower supporting piece (33). The piston rod (311) is further connected with a pushing tube (36) on the upper supporting piece (32) for passing through an outer casing (371) protruded from the lid (37), and the pushing tube (36) is connected to the pressing portion (38).

(12) The piston tube (3) is connected with a connection piece (4) at a bottom thereof. The connection piece (4) comprises a guiding channel (41) communicated with the piston tube (3), a guiding hole (42) disposed at a bottom of the guiding channel (41), a first ball (43) disposed below a first limit piece (411) fixed in the guiding channel (41) for rolling up and down between the first limit piece (411) and the guiding hole (42) and rolling down to plug in the guiding hole (42), a communicating channel (44) transversely connected to the guiding channel (41), an importing channel (45) connected to the communicating channel (44) at a lower end thereof and a connecting duct (5) at an upper end thereof and having an importing hole (451) formed at a junction of the communicating channel (44) and the importing channel (45), and a second ball (46) below a second limit piece (452) fixed in the importing channel (45) for rolling up and down between the second limit piece (452) and the importing hole (451) and rolling down to plug in the importing hole (451). Preferably, the first limit piece (411) and the second limit piece (452) are pins. An inner end of the guiding hole (42) is formed with a first inner arc line (421) to increase an anti-leak effect of the first ball (43), and an inner end of the importing hole (451) is formed with a second inner arc line (453) to increase an anti-leak effect of the second ball (46). The upper end of the importing channel (45) is formed with an exporting hole (454) having a tapering shape.

(13) The connecting duct (5) is connected with an outflow duct (6) at an upper end thereof. The outflow duct (6) is protruded from the second assembling hole (22) of the assembling seat (2), and an outer end of the outflow duct (6) is provided with an outflow port (61). The outflow port (61) of the outflow duct (6) is further sleeved with a limiting ring (62) to prevent liquid remaining in the outflow duct (6) leaking from the outflow port (61).

(14) The plurality of limiting kits (7) have different heights. A bottom of each of the plurality of limiting kits (7) has a slot (71) corresponding to the outer casing (371) of the lid (37) of the piston tube (3) for assembling to the outer casing (371) of the lid (37) and further limiting a pressing down degree of the pressing portion (38).

(15) In an actual use of the quantitative pressing structure of the present invention, the pressing structure (1) is assembled to an opening (81) of a container (8) by the assembling seat (2). Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, if a user wand to take out liquid accommodated in the container (8), the use can press the pressing portion (38) downwards to drive the piston rod (311) together with the pushing tube (36) to move downwards. In such a case, the pushing tube (36) pushes the upper supporting piece (32) to compress the elastic member (35). At the same time, the liquid in the piston tube (3) pushed by the piston rod (311) and the piston (31) moving downwards further flows into the guiding channel (41) of the connection piece (4) and pushes the first ball (43) downwards to plug in the guiding hole (42). After the guiding hole (42) is plugged, the liquid cannot continue to flow downwards and can only flows from the guiding channel (41) into the communicating channel (44) and the importing channel (45) for further pushing the second ball (46) upwards, so the liquid flows into the connecting duct (5) from the exporting hole (454) of the importing channel (45), passes through the outflow duct (6), and finally flows out of the container (8) from the outflow port (61) of the outflow duct (6). The exporting hole (454) has a tapering shape, and a diameter of the exporting hole (454) is less than a diameter of the connecting duct (5). Therefore, when the liquid flows from the exporting hole (454) having a smaller diameter into the connecting duct (5) having a larger diameter, flow velocity of the liquid is decreased, which prevent the liquid being rapidly spouted at a large angle from the outflow port (61) of the outflow duct (6) and contaminating the surrounding environment. Furthermore, diameter of the exporting hole (454) can be adjusted to change an outflow angle and flow velocity of the liquid flowing out of the outflow port (61).

(16) When the user is no longer pressing the pressing portion (38), the elastic member (35) rebounds to push the upper supporting piece (32) together with the pushing tube (36) upwards, which also drives the pressing portion (38) together with the piston rod (311) to move upwards. In such a case, the piston rod (311) pulls the piston (31) in the piston tube (3), which causes a negative pressure in the piston tube (3). Thus, the second ball (46) is guided to the importing hole (451) by the negative pressure and then rolls down to plug in the importing hole (451). At the same time, the first ball (43) move upwards and leave the guiding hole (42), allowing the liquid accommodated in the container (8) to flow from the guiding hole (42) into the piston tube (3) for storage.

(17) Referring to FIG. 6, if the user want to change different amount of liquid to flow out of the outflow port (61) of the outflow duct (6), the limiting kit (7) on the slot (71) can be replaced with a limiting kit (7) having different height by taking off the pressing portion (38) at the top end of the piston rod (311), assembling the limiting kit (7) having different height to the outer casing (371) of the lid (37), and assembling the pressing portion (38) back to the piston rod (311). Accordingly, when the user presses the pressing portion (38), the pressing down degree of the pressing portion (38) is limited by the limiting kit (7) during the pressing down of the piston rod (311) along with the pushing tube (36) by the pressing portion (38), so the piston (31) is limited to push the liquid in the piston tube (3) and the amount of the liquid flowing out of the outflow port (61) of the outflow duct (6) is changed.

(18) Compared with the technique available now, the present invention has the following advantages:

(19) 1. The plural limiting kits having distinct rated flows of the present invention can be replaced according to a user's demand for limiting the pressing down degree of the pressing portion so as to accurately control an outflow of fluid, which increases convenience in use and practicality of overall implementation.

(20) 2. The piston rod of the piston in the piston tube is provided with the upper supporting piece and the lower supporting piece, and the elastic member is disposed between the upper supporting piece and the lower supporting piece, so the piston can be pushed back to its original position by the elastic member after it is pressed and avoids contact of the elastic member with the liquid. Therefore, the present invention prevents the elastic member from contaminating the fluid and avoids suspicion of sanitary problems in use.

(21) 3. The outflow duct of the present invention has the limiting ring at the inner edge of the outflow port, which prevents the liquid remaining in the outflow duct leaking from the outflow port.

(22) 4. The overall structure of the present invention can be disassembled and assembled easily, and it is also easy to clean after disassembly, so the present invention achieves efficacy of simplicity and convenience in the overall use.
