Description

[Technical field]

The present invention relates to a valve device that is connected to the tip of a faucet and a water purifier or other water treatment device, and switches the flow of water supplied from the faucet.
[Background technology]

  Since the switching valve device attached to the faucet currently found on the market is a thick type, when this valve device is attached, the distance between the water outlet and the sink is reduced, and the range of water supplied from the faucet is reduced. There is a great inconvenience for the user to reduce the size of the image.

  Also, sometimes, just when a failure of the switching valve device occurs, the switching valve device and the water treatment device are fixed together by the hose. Troubles such as bringing them to a dealer have occurred.

In order to digitally display the treated water, a flow rate sensing unit, flow rate calculation, and a brain unit and battery that accumulate the flow rate are required, but since they are connected by electric wires, they are switched when the battery is replaced by the consumer. The valve device is required to be removed, and the tip of the faucet is constantly exposed to a steam atmosphere such as steam, resulting in a high failure rate of the brain.
[Disclosure of the Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Problems to be solved include the problem of the thickness related to the structure of the switching valve device that lowers the spout of water supplied from the faucet by installing the switching valve device, and the switching valve device uses a hose for water treatment. Because it is fixed to the vessel, it is troublesome in various places, and in order to digitally display the flow rate of treated water, it is possible to distribute many wires and switch the battery by switching the switching valve device. This is a problem such as removal from the faucet.
[Problem to solve the problem]

The valve ball used for the switching valve device is placed in a horizontal position with the shaft core, the switching valve device is thinned, and the hose attached to the switching valve device and the water treatment device such as a water purifier can be easily used by using the water connector. The main features are that it can be attached and detached, and the entire electronic brain part such as a flow rate digital display board, PC board, IC, etc. is fixedly housed in an insulating resin with an insulating resin, and is easily removed and installed in a switching valve device.
[The invention's effect]

A switching valve device and a hose that can be provided as a switching valve device with a lighter white thickness, and that makes it easy for the user to attach and remove the switching valve device, and that causes various complications during production. Because it is easy to attach and detach, the flow rate sensor required for the flow rate digital display, the electronic brain part that performs flow rate calculation, and the battery are stored in one case without external wiring, and the case can be easily removed, There is an advantage that the battery can be easily replaced.

[Industrial applicability]

  It is a consumer's desire to reduce the height of the switching valve device, and it is convenient for the consumer that the hose is not fixed when the switching valve is attached to the faucet.

  The water connector eliminates the work of dragging the hose, which has caused production trouble for the producer, and eliminates the work of winding the hose around the water treatment device main body during packaging and packing.

  In this way, many problems can be solved from the problem of complications in production and hygiene, to space utilization efficiency, packaging, transportation, installation and installation, and removal.

  Furthermore, there is an advantage that the switching valve can be rotated by a handle operation with a light fingertip force only by moving the valve ball, and the weight can be reduced and the number of parts can be reduced.

  By installing a magnetic water wheel in the water supply nozzle passage of the valve box and hanging a cyber case on the adjacent part, wiring of the electric wire becomes unnecessary, providing convenience when changing the battery of the consumer, and further wiring at various places during production There is a great advantage of facilitating the work of fixing the insulating material of parts that require electricity.
