2. Description of the Related Art Due to the development of material civilization, bathroom culture is becoming higher-grade and practical, and the number of apartments is increasing, and the living style and bathroom culture are changing. The trend is for a shower device that can be used easily and easily.

Conventionally, a valve device for a shower device (Korean Utility Model Publication No. 94-2067) has an exhaust hole in the bottom of a cavity of a body in which a long rubber ring is fitted between the valve sides to fit the valve. By being provided, the air compressed in the chamber is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust hole.

In the valve device of the shower device, the middle portion of the flow path is pressed by the elasticity of the spring to shut it off, and the force greater than the elastic force of the spring is applied by the force of the palm to open the flow path. There was a point. Further, since the pressing force is the palm force of an adult, the elderly and children and women are very powerful.

The one-touch opening / closing type shower device of Korean Utility Model Publication No. 96-7326, which was filed by the applicant earlier, was designed so that the bellows block the outflow hole by the pressure of water in the main body and the button. Although the valve is constructed by pushing the button, this is also inconvenient in use because it has the button type structure which is also the above-mentioned problem.

The switch type shower device according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a flow passage formed in a side portion thereof and an opening / closing valve 100 in an upper portion thereof.
An opening / closing device S1 that is opened / closed by a difference in fluid pressure by providing a mounting tool that accommodates the opening / closing valve; a shower device main body S2 in which a space for accommodating the opening / closing device that opens / closes the flow path is formed; It is configured to include a switch unit S3 that is mounted and opens / closes the adjustment port of the opening / closing device.

First, the switch type shower device has an opening / closing device S1 for opening and closing a flow path and a main body S for housing the opening / closing device.
2 and a switch unit S3 for controlling the switchgear;
Alternatively, the main body S2 shown in FIG. 3 forms a space capable of accommodating the opening / closing device including the opening / closing valve 100, and the adjusting chamber C1 for adjusting the flow pressure and the discharging chamber C for discharging to the outside.
It is composed of a shower cover 110 which is divided into three parts, is provided with a switch part S3 mounting tool on the side, and has a number of holes mounted on the bottom surface.

In the switchgear S1 shown in FIG. 4, a double rubber ring 20 and an inflow port 30 are formed between the rubber rings on the outer side so that a flow path is formed between the control chamber C1 and the discharge chamber C3. And an opening / closing adjusting port 10 is formed on one side of the upper plate so as to penetrate through the adjusting / discharging chambers C1 and C3, and is attached to the other end one side upper plate to reach the adjusting chamber C1 and the discharging chamber C3. An opening / closing valve 100 for controlling the flow path is attached, and the opening / closing valve 100 is composed of a thin rubber packing 80 which is connected to a disc 90 having a fine fluid pressure adjusting port 70 and which has an elastic return property.

The switch portion S3 includes a switch lever 120 mounted on the outside of the main body and the adjusting lever 130.
Has a switch lever 120 attached to one end thereof and a spring 140 and a ball 150 attached to the other end thereof, and is hinged to the inside of the main body so as to open / close the opening / closing adjustment port 10 of the opening / closing device. To be done.

Next, the operation of the switch type shower device of the present invention constructed as described above will be described in detail. First, FIG.
6 shows the flow of fluid when the switch lever 120 is moved to the open position. The switch lever 120 mounted on the side of the shower body is shown in FIG.
When is pressed or pressed, the opening / closing adjustment port 10 closed by the adjustment lever 130 is opened while rotating around the inside of the main body.

At this time, the fluid in the control chamber C1 moves to the discharge chamber C3 and the pressure in the control chamber C1 decreases, while the pressure in the discharge chamber C3 increases and the on-off valve 100 moves upward to move the fluid. Water entry chamber C
A flow path is formed in the discharge chamber C3 and the control chamber C1 through 2 and is discharged to the outside.

The opening / closing valve 100 is attached to the upper end of the opening / closing device and controls the inflow / outflow of the fluid flowing in through the inflow passage. That is, from the water entry chamber C2 to the adjustment chamber C1
And the flow of the fluid in the discharge chamber C3 is automatically adjusted by the difference in the flow pressure.

A fine fluid pressure adjusting port 70 is formed on one side of the on-off valve 100 to allow such a difference in fluid pressure, and the fluid pressure difference between the water inlet chamber C2 and the adjusting chamber C1 is adjusted and adjusted. The fluid pressure moves the on-off valve 100 up and down to open and close the outlet.

FIG. 3 or 5 shows the switch lever 120.
It shows the flow of fluid when moving the switch to the closed position.
When 0 is closed, the flow of the fluid that has been flowing from the adjustment chamber C1 to the discharge chamber C3 side until now is blocked through the opening / closing adjustment port 10, and in this state, the adjustment chamber C1 further causes the fluid in the water inlet chamber C2 to It enters the adjustment chamber C1 side through the fluid pressure adjusting port 70. At this time, while the pressure in the control chamber C1 gradually increased and the pressure became the same as the pressure in the water entry chamber C2, the flow path of the support plate was opened at a certain distance from the switch support plate until now. The on-off valve 100 which was in the state comes to close the flow path of the support plate while returning to the initial state. When the on-off valve 100 blocks the flow path of the support plate in this way, the pressure of the water inlet chamber C2 and the control chamber C1 is reduced. Are in the same state, and water is no longer flowing between the water input chamber C2 and the control chamber C1 and is in a blocked state.

Next, the switch type shower of the present invention is
Water pressure or water pressure can be adjusted by the size of the diameter of the fluid pressure adjusting port 70 provided in the on-off valve, and one side can adjust the water pressure to 200: 1, 100: 1, 50: 1. The diameter of the fine fluid pressure adjusting port 70 provided in the on-off valve 100 can be formed to be φ0.8 to φ1.5 mm, and an appropriate diameter is φ0.5 to φ0.1 mm, which is currently used. It is suitable to be used as the water pressure.

For example, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be modified by a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the scope of claims. Of course, such modifications are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0021]

As described above, the switch type shower device of the present invention has a simple structure and thus has a very low failure rate, and has an effect of reducing the manufacturing cost. In addition, the condition of the structure that can adapt to water pressure is easy, and since it can be adjusted by minute force, it is very convenient for the aged, children and women. It is a useful invention.
