Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an operating device for an antifreeze faucet. Conventionally known antifreeze faucet opening/closing devices are screws,
It uses mechanisms such as cams and levers independently.

In order to open and close an antifreeze faucet whose valve part is buried underground and installed vertically, it is necessary to vertically reciprocate the valve body in the valve body. Therefore, devices using screws turn the handle in a horizontal plane, and devices using cams, levers, etc. turn the handle in a vertical plane.
According to screws, it is easy to extend the operating rod from the handle and operate it from the second floor of a house, but the handle has a large rotation angle, making it difficult to use. In the case of cams and levers, the rotation angle is small and they are easy to use, which is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that they cannot be extended to the second floor for use. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so in recent years there has been a trend towards devices using cams, levers, etc. for use on the first floor, and devices using screws for use on the second floor. However, this requires replacing the opening and closing devices for the first and second floors, making it particularly difficult and inconvenient to replace the devices on-site. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventionally known devices, and the gist thereof is to include both screw and lever mechanisms in the same device and combine them to take advantage of the advantages of both. . That is, a threaded body in which a spindle and a passive element are rotatably connected to each other, a cylindrical bracket that accommodates the threaded body and has a longitudinal notch in its side wall, and one end of which protrudes into the inside of the bracket and which connects the passive element. In addition to a shaft, the passive element is provided with a valve element that reciprocates in the valve box of the antifreeze faucet at one end, and the passive element is provided with a lever that is loosely connected to the lower part and the notch of the bracket is hinged to the bracket by a pin. This is a device in which the ends of the pipe are joined, and the bracket has a valve box at one end and the other end of the pipe is joined, and the other end of the pipe is joined to the bracket, and it can be used for either horizontal rotation of the spindle using a screw mechanism or vertical rotation of the ram using a lever mechanism. In most cases, the problem is solved by reciprocating the valve body using the same device. The structure and method of operation will be described in detail below according to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

A valve box (not shown) buried underground is fixed at one end, and a bracket 2 is connected to the other end of a pipe 10 extending above the ground to form an outer frame of the antifreeze faucet. The side wall of the bracket 2 is provided with longitudinal notches 2 and 1 in which the rod 1 is inserted and can be vertically rotated at a certain angle, and the bracket 2 and the ram 1 can be rotated by a pin 6 in the notches 2 and 1. is hinged to. Guide grooves 1, 1 are provided in the portion of the ram 1 that protrudes into the bracket 2, and a pin 7 fixed to the spindle 3 engages with the guide grooves 1, 1, so that the ram 1 and the spindle 3 are movably connected. ing. The spindle 3 and the passive element 4 are rotatably screwed together and integrated as a set of screw bodies. The other end of a shaft 9 having a valve body (not shown) that reciprocates vertically within the valve box is fixed to the passive element 4 with a pin 5 at one end. The head of the spindle 3 protrudes from the upper end of the bracket 2 to allow attachment of a handle (not shown). The head of a screw 8 is inserted from the upper side of the bracket 2 into the grooves 3 and 1 provided on the outer periphery of the spindle 3, and the spindle 3 is connected so that it can rotate freely without detaching from the bracket 2.
Further, by loosening the screw 8, the spindle 3 can be taken out from the bracket 2. The bracket 2 is fixed to the other end of a pipe 10 to which an antifreeze faucet is fixed at one end, and a shaft 9 is connected to the passive element 4. Therefore, the operation according to this embodiment is as follows. Without fixing spindle 3 with screw 8, attach bracket 2.
When the lever 1 is vertically rotated in the detached state, the passive element 4 reciprocates in the vertical direction. Further, when the spindle 3 is inserted and screwed together with the passive element 4, and the spindle 3 is horizontally rotated, the passive element 4 will not rotate in the vertical direction because the side surface of the lever 1 is constrained by the notches 2 and 1. It moves back and forth. According to this embodiment, two types of operations can be obtained: one is to rotate the spindle 3 in the horizontal direction, and the other is to rotate the lever 1 in the vertical direction.

As explained above, the present invention includes a screw mechanism and a lever mechanism in the same device, and achieves the object by slidably coupling one of the screws to the lever. In the embodiment, the lever 1 and the spindle 3 or the passive element 4 are engaged by sliding the pin 7 into the guide grooves 1 and 1 provided in the lever 1, but this is not necessarily an essential requirement. , the configuration may be reversed. Also, the lever 1 and the spindle 3 or the passive element 4
In addition to the pin 7, the connection may be made by a combination of concave and convex portions, as long as they are connected in a slidable manner, and the design can be freely changed within that range.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to perform two types of operation, horizontal rotation and vertical rotation, which were not possible with conventional methods, so it can be operated with the same device on both the first and second floors of a house, and it is also much faster than conventional construction. This means that we can provide products that have excellent effects and are highly utilized.
