The present invention relates to a wall shower in which a water-saving device is installed so that water discharged through the shower head of a shower head installed in a bathroom or the like can be kept constant at all times.

More specifically, since the discharge amount injected through the shower head is always adjusted automatically by the flow rate control mechanism built into the shower head of the shower, the shower effect is prevented from being wasted by the user. It relates to a wall shower with a built-in water-saving device that can increase the sense of feeling.

In the conventional wall shower, the water discharged through the discharge port 5 of the shower when operating the control knob (1) described above, the installation position of the water pipe connected to the shower head 3, the gap between the water tank and the water pipe, etc. Accordingly, the water pressure and the discharge amount discharged through the water pipe are different.

That is, when the water pressure of the water pipe is weak, a small amount is discharged within the same time, while when the water pressure is strong, a relatively large amount of water is discharged. For this reason, a part of the discharged amount is wasted due to water pressure more than necessary in the low floor of a high-rise building or a high-rise apartment.

On the other hand, when operating the control knob (1) to reduce the opening angle of the valve in the control knob (1), the strength of the water flow discharged through the discharge port (5) of the shower is weak, so that the user feels so that the user feels during the shower It does not meet the various needs of the user has a problem that the shower effect and reliability is inferior.

Therefore, when the opening angle of the valve is enlarged by operating the control knob 1, the strength of the water stream discharged through the discharge port 5 of the shower is strong, so that the shower effect can be improved, but water is discharged through the discharge port 5. There is a problem that is discharged more than necessary and wasted.

The embodiment of the present invention, since the discharge amount is always automatically adjusted by the flow control knob installed in the shower head of the shower installed in the bathroom or the like, it is possible to prevent the waste of water due to more than the required pressure in the lower floor of the high-rise building It is associated with a wall shower in which a water saving device is built.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the water saving is possible when using the shower, the wall of the water-saving device is installed to improve the user's shower effect and reliability because the strength of the water stream is sprayed through the discharge port of the shower head is kept constant Related to the shower

As shown in Fig. 2 to 4, the wall shower in which the water saving device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed, is connected to the water pipe is installed on the wall of the bathroom, the adjusting knob for adjusting hot water and cold water extends downward The water supply pipe 10 is formed,

Shower head 11 is connected to the water supply pipe 10 and,

It is connected to the shower head 11 so as to be rotated by the hinge ball 12 installed in the shower head 11, and discharges the water passing through the through hole of the shower head 11 and the hinge ball 12 A fallopian tube-shaped discharge port 13,

Built into the shower head 11, the kinetic energy of the fluid flowing through the injection hole 14 of the upper surface is converted into pressure energy to automatically adjust the amount of fluid passing through the discharge port 13 in accordance with the strength of the pressure energy It includes a flow rate adjusting means.

The above flow control means,

Cylindrical cap 15 through which the injection hole 14 is formed in the upper surface,

The inside is opened and a ring-shaped locking jaw 16 is formed at a predetermined position on the inner side, and when the outlet 13 is rotatably connected to the shower head 11, the hinge ball 12 can be accommodated. The expansion space 17 is formed under the locking projection 16, the housing 18 is fitted into the cap 15,

The flange 15 is accommodated between the cap 15 and the locking jaw 16 of the housing 18 so as to be slid by the fluid flowing through the injection hole 14, and is formed to extend upwardly over the control opening 19. At least one through-hole 21 is formed, the plunger 22 to adjust the flow rate passing through the through-hole of the locking projection 16 by the adjusting opening 19,

And an elastic member 23 (for example, a compression coil spring is used) which elastically biases in an initial state that the flange 20 of the plunger 22 is pressed against the upper surface of the cap 15.

At this time, the outer diameter of the above-described adjusting device 19 is formed smaller than the size of the through hole formed in the center of the locking projection (16).

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an example of the use of the wall shower is built in the water-saving device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in Figure 4, the flow rate adjusting means is built in the shower head 11 is connected to the water supply pipe 10 is installed on the wall surface of the bathroom, the discharge head 13 of the fallopian tube shape in the shower head 11 Is connected. The ejection opening 13 is rotated with respect to the shower head 11 to adjust the angle of the ejection opening 13 according to the age, physical characteristics or preference of the user during the shower.

At this time, since the hinge ball 12 fixed to the shower head 11 is accommodated in the space 17 formed to expand downward in the housing 18, the discharge port 13 is rotated with respect to the shower head 11. Even if it is made, the interference of the flow of the fluid by the hinge ball 12 in the housing 18 can be prevented.

When operating the control knob for adjusting the hot water and cold water described above is to take a shower using hot or cold water discharged through the shower head (11). At this time, water saving is possible by the flow rate adjusting means installed in the shower head 11, and at the same time, the shower effect of the user may be increased by the strength of the water stream sprayed and discharged through the discharge port 13.

That is, the tap water introduced through the injection hole 14 formed in the cap 15 of the flow control means described above passes through the through hole 21 formed in the flange 20 of the plunger 22 and into the housing 18. Inflow. At this time, since the cross-sectional area of the moving passage is reduced by the flange 20, the fluid passing through the shower head 11 increases the pressure of the fluid when passing through the through-hole 21 of the flange 20.

The plunger 22 is pushed down the housing 18 by the pressure of the fluid passing through the through hole 21 of the flange 20 to move toward the discharge port 13. At this time, the elastic member 23 receives a compressive force.

That is, the through hole formed in the center of the locking projection 16, the lower end of the control opening 19 is formed integrally extending to the flange 20 of the plunger 22 according to the strength of the pressure of the fluid flowing into the housing 18 Pass through.

Referring to this in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, when the pressure of the fluid flowing in the above-described housing 18 is high, the amount of movement of the plunger 22 in the housing 18 is large, so that the adjustment of the plunger 22 The opening 19 of the through-hole of the latching jaw 16 is reduced by the sphere 19. This reduces the amount of fluid passing through the through hole of the locking step (16).

In contrast, when the pressure of the fluid flowing into the housing 18 described above is low, the amount of movement of the plunger 22 inside the housing 18 is relatively reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the opening area of the through hole of the catching jaw 16 from being reduced by the adjusting opening 19 of the plunger 22. This increases the amount of fluid passing through the through hole of the locking step 16.

In this way, it can be seen that the amount of fluid passing through the through hole of the locking step 16 is determined according to the fluid pressure flowing into the housing 18.

Therefore, when the amount of water pressure and discharge through the above-described shower head 11 is large, the amount of movement of the plunger 22 inside the housing 18 is increased, so that the flow rate passing through the locking jaw of the housing 18 is reduced. On the other hand, when the amount of water pressure and discharge passing through the shower head 11 is small, the amount of movement of the plunger 22 in the housing 18 is relatively reduced, so that the flow rate through the locking step 16 is increased.

That is, regardless of the water pressure and the amount of discharge through the shower head 11, the discharge amount of the fluid discharged through the discharge port 13 is the same, it is possible to save a large amount of tap water.

On the other hand, even when the water pressure passing through the above-described shower head 11 is high or low, the water discharged by being discharged through the discharge port 13 becomes constant. As the pressure of the water passing through the locking step of the housing 18 drops by the space 17, it is discharged in a sprayed state due to peeling of water. That is, since the strength of the water stream discharged through the discharge port 13 is kept constant, the shower effect felt by the user during the shower can be improved.

On the other hand, the wall shower in which the water-saving device is installed according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described as an example of a fixed wall shower is installed on the wall of the bathroom, a mobile type fixed to the end of the hose connected to the water pipe is installed on the wall of the bathroom Of course, it can be used to equip the shower with a flow control means to achieve the same effect.

As described above, the wall shower in which the water-saving device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed has the following advantages.

Discharge amount is automatically adjusted and discharged at all times by the flow control device installed in the shower head of the shower head installed in the bathroom, so it is possible to drastically reduce the economic loss due to the waste of water due to the strong water pressure in the lower floor of the high-rise building. .

In addition, it is possible to save water when using the shower, and since the strength of the water stream sprayed through the discharge port of the shower head is kept constant, it is possible to improve the shower effect and reliability of the user.
