Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the temperature of the hot water which flows through a faucet to be indicated, by suspending a thermosensing element through a valve rod and a valve body from a thermometer installed onto the upper surface of a handle. CONSTITUTION:The installation fitting 9 of a valve body 4 is made of thermal conductor and projected from the undersurface, and an opening communicating to the vertical-edges, having a valve rod 5 as center, is opened and a thermosensing element 10 is inserted, and the lower edge of the thermosensing element 10 is engaged with the upper edge of the installation metal fitting 9. A concaved surface is formed onto the upper-surface of a cylindrical handle 8, and a thermometer 11 is buried and connected with the thermosensing element 10. Therefore, a user for hot water can immediately confirm the temperature of the hot water by the thermometer 11.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a hot water faucet equipped with a thermometer.

In recent years, solar water heaters have been installed in many homes, providing hot water to bathtubs, kitchens, etc. at a low cost.
Unable to determine the temperature of the water, the only way to find out the temperature is to warm the water with water and use your fingertips to find out the temperature, and the high temperature can sometimes cause burns to the fingertips. Even in water heaters heated by general boilers, etc., there are still drawbacks such as the inability to check the temperature of the hot water.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a thermometer for each type of hot water faucet so that the temperature can be easily checked. It is characterized by being able to do the following.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to embodiment figures.

1 Connect the communication pipe 2 to the rear of the valve box 1 and the discharge port 3 to the front, and connect the threaded part of the valve stem 5 with the valve body 4 loosely attached to the lower end to the threaded cylinder 6 protruding from the upper end of the valve box 1. In a hot water faucet in which a lid 7 is screwed onto the upper end of a threaded barrel 6 and a cylindrical handle 8 is secured to a valve stem 5 protruding from the lid 7, the mounting bracket 9 of the valve body 4 is made of a heat conductor. A hole is made in the center of the valve stem 5 that communicates with the upper and lower ends, and the heat sensing element 10 is inserted so that the lower end of the heat sensing element 10 is engaged with the upper end of the mounting fitting 9. A thermometer 11 is embedded in four parts of the upper surface of the mold handle 8, and the thermometer 11 and the heat sensing element 10 are connected to form a thermometer-equipped hot water faucet 12a.

2 Valve boxes 14a and 14b are installed on both sides of the front of the U-shaped communication pipe 13.
A hot water supply faucet 12 with a thermometer is installed in the valve boxes 14a and 14b.
A water discharge pipe 1 is provided with valve mechanisms 15a and 15b having the same configuration as a, and is rotatably communicated with the center position of a U-shaped communication pipe 13.
Hot water/water supply faucet 12b with a thermometer attached with a thermometer 11 on the top surface of the thermometer 6 and a heat sensing element 10 hanging down into the water discharge pipe 16
It is made to constitute.

Next, the effects of the present invention will be explained with reference to embodiment figures.

The thermometer-equipped hot water faucet 12a of the first embodiment is used as a hot water faucet for bathtubs, wash basins, and other places by directly communicating the communication pipe 2 at the rear with the hot water pipe.

The desired hot water is supplied while rotating the valve stem 5 through the cylindrical handle 8 and opening and closing the faucet with the valve body 4. When the valve body 4 is opened or closed, The temperature of the hot water is determined by the mounting bracket 9 of the valve body 4 and the heat sensing element 1.
0 to a thermometer 11, and the temperature of the hot water is indicated by the thermometer 11. Therefore, the hot water user does not need to directly check the temperature of the hot water with the thermometer 11 and touch the hot water directly with his or her fingertips, which prevents burns caused by high temperatures, and provides assistance with a boiler etc. if the temperature is low. By heating the water to raise the temperature before using it, you can always visually check the temperature of the hot water to prevent any discomfort during hot water supply.

The hot water/water supply faucet 12b with a thermometer according to the second embodiment is as follows:
One side of the U-shaped communication pipe 13 is used to communicate with the hot water supply pipe and the other with the water supply pipe, and the thermometer 11 of the valve mechanism 15a on the side
Check the temperature of the hot water in the hot water pipe by
The temperature of the water is checked using the thermometer 11 at 5b, and water is discharged from the central water discharge pipe 16 while adjusting the hot water and water using the valve mechanisms 15a and 15b.
The temperature of the mixed hot water can be checked using the thermometer 11 installed in the hot water bath, and the hot water can be discharged in the optimum condition at all times.
