DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0025] In the Instruction Book of implementation mode for this invention, what need to understand is that, the orientations or positional relations indicated by the term Up, Down, Front, Back, Left, Right Vertical, Horizontal, Top, Bottom, Inside, Outside, Clockwise Counterclockwise are the ones based on appended drawings, which is only to facilitate the Instruction Book of this invention and simplify the Instruction Book, but not to indicate or suggest that the mentioned devices or components must have specific orientations, and get constructed and operated in specific orientations, so all above cannot be regarded as limiting this invention. The appended drawings are schematic or conceptual graphs, so for the relation between the thickness and width of each part, and the proportion relation among the parts, etc., they are not completely consistent with the actual values.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 12, it is a drainer that utilizes basket type to adjust the height of floating body from our examples. It includes drainer body 1, basket type 5, floating body 12, and water-saving component 14. The drainer body 1 comprises water inlet 3, a water inner cavity 16 of drainer body, height adjustment column 4 and water outlet 2. Basket type 5 and water-saving component 14 are arranged at intervals inside the drainer body 1; water-saving component 14 is closer to the water outlet 2.

[0027] The basket type 5 includes filter hole 6, floating body cavity 8, water-saving to component 14 and water-saving component's drain hole 15, so as to form a circulation channel sequentially through the water inlet 3, inner cavity 16 of drainer body, basket type filter hole 6, floating body 12, water-saving component 14, drain hole 15 the water outlet 2.

[0028] The shape of basket type 5 restricts the floating body cavity 8 which faces water-saving component 14, and floating body 12 is arranged between basket type 5 and water-saving component 14, while floating body cavity 8 restricts the active portion of floating body 12; under the condition without water, the floating body 12 falls upon water-saving component 14, and its shape and size are sufficient to seal water-saving component's drain hole 15, so as to close the sewer; when the buoyancy effect of floating body 12 leaves water-saving component 14 and goes deep into floating body cavity 8, namely opening water-saving component's drain hole 15, so as to achieve the opening on 15, and then the water flow 11 goes downward through the drainer water outlet 2.

[0029] In this case, the floating body 12 can also be used with sphere, ellipsoid, cube, cuboid, cylinder or cone, as long as they can meet the opening and closing of water-saving component's drain hole 15.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 9, there is a height adjustment column at the bottom of inner cavity 16 of drainer body. The position corresponding to height adjustment column 4, there is a height adjustment groove 7 at the bottom of basket type 5. When the water tank needs water remain 10, the basket type's height adjustment groove 7 should be correspondingly placed on height adjustment column 4. When basket type 5 overall goes down, and floating body cavity 8 pushes floating body 12 onto water-saving component 14, the floating body 12 will play closure effect on water-saving component's drain hole. At this moment, the water remains 10 accumulates on water-saving component 14, thus the water remain 10 cannot flow down and the water tank cannot save water 10.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 10, the handle 9 lifts height adjustment groove 7 which will leave height adjustment column 4. The basket type 5 rotates at certain angle and sets down. The positions of height adjustment groove 7 and height adjustment column 4 do not correspond to each other. The height adjustment column 4 supports the basket type bottom plane 13. After the basket type 5 overall moves up, the floating body cavity 8 leaves floating body 12. When the water flow 11 enters inner cavity of drainer body 16, and the floating body 12 floats with the effect of water flow, the water-saving component's drain hole 15 will be opened. Later, the water flow 11 goes through the water-saving component's drain hole 15 and then drainer water outlet 2 and finally the external drainage pipeline.

[0032] The diameter of water-saving component's drain hole 15 is less than that of drainer water outlet 2 (the diameter size of drain hole 15 matches medium water yield of tap), when the water flow is larger than medium water yield, due to the throttling effect of water-saving component's drain hole 15, the water will overflow the drainer, and then it will remind users of strong water flow of tap, so as to achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

[0033] When there is no water flow 11, the floating body 12 will fall under the influence of own gravity force, and play closure effect on water-saving component's drain hole 15, preventing the foul smell from rising in the external drain pipe, thus to achieve the goal of automatic anti-smell-returning.

[0034] FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 is another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The major difference from the first case lies in that the height adjustment groove 7 is canceled, and the bottom plane of basket type is placed at the top of height adjustment column 4; handle 9 is an independent component, which is inserted at the upper of the floating body cavity 8 and can be moved up and down manually. When the handle 9 is pulled along the floating body cavity 8, and the floating body 12 rises, the water flows through the water-saving component's drain hole 15; when the handle 9 is pressed downward into the floating body 8 and contacts floating body 12, the water-saving component's drain hole 15 will be closed and save water.

[0035] The above has in detail described some relatively excellent cases of this invention. It should be understood that one skilled in the art do not need creative work and can make many modifications and changes according to the conception of this invention. Therefore, the technical scheme created by all technical staff in this technical field in accordance with the idea of this invention and on the basis of the existing technology through logical analysis and reasoning or limited experiment should be in the scope of protection determined by the claims presented below.
