The operation of the present invention, which can be configured as described above, is as follows.

First, the distance between the cold water supply pipe (C) and the hot water supply pipe (H), which is installed on the wall surface (W), that is, the installation width of each other is most of the construction does not meet the pre-designed dimensions or normal specifications.

Due to the difference between the construction of the cold water supply pipe (C) and the hot water supply pipe (H) as described above, in fixing the faucet 100 to the wall (W), the water valve housing constituting the faucet 100 Since the 110 is installed at an inclined angle, it hurts the aesthetic appearance (see conventional drawings 1 to 3), and is made of a plurality of pipes and coupling parts, which makes the construction cumbersome and not easy.

However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, one side of the hot water supply pipe 140 is fitted into the width adjusting means 130 provided in the water valve housing 110 and is slidable (width adjustable). In, on the wall (W) buried in the construction of the hot water supply pipe (H) is connected to the side, so that even if the construction width of the cold water supply pipe (C) and hot water supply pipe (H) is narrower or wider than the designed state or flexible It can be installed while coping.

In more detail, the one end of the hot water supply pipe 140 is inserted into the width adjusting means 130 provided in the water valve housing 110, and the other end is in a state in which the angle adjustment support means 170 is coupled. In, the cold water supply pipe 120 is located in the coupling means 2 (160) of the hot water supply pipe (H) buried on the wall (W), provided on the other side of the width control means 130 of the water valve housing (110) To the coupling means 1 (150) of the cold water supply pipe (C) buried on the wall (W).

In this state, the width of the cold water supply pipe (C) and hot water supply pipe (H) to adjust the width of the hot water supply pipe 140 to the width adjusting means 130 while temporarily adjusting the width. Coupling means 150 pre-coupled to the cold water supply pipe (C) and hot water supply pipe (H), respectively, the angle control support unit 170 coupled to the front end of the cold water supply pipe 120 and hot water supply pipe 140 in this state Each to (160).

As described above, the present invention, even if the interval between the cold water supply pipe (C) and the hot water supply pipe (H) installed on the wall (W), that is, the width is not designed or conformed to the specifications, width adjusting means 130 The gap with the cold water supply pipe 120 can be adjusted while sliding the hot water supply pipe 140 inserted therein, thereby flexibly coping with the construction width error of the cold / hot water supply pipe (C) (H).

The present invention is thus a communication path for communicating the cold / hot water supply pipe (C) (H) installed on the wall (W) and the cold / hot water inlet of the water valve cartridge 10 provided in the water valve housing (110). By connecting them through fitting fittings, respectively, to facilitate the installation.

In particular, the present invention, as shown in Figure 8, the cold / hot water supply pipe (C) (H) can be installed to flexibly cope with the crooked angle even when the construction is not parallel to each other to be installed.

For example, as shown, when the angle of the hot water supply pipe (H) is an example, first, the cold water supply pipe 120 is located in the coupling means 1 (150) pre-coupled to the cold water supply pipe (C), Position the angle adjustment support means 170 in the coupling means 2 (160) pre-coupled to the crooked hot water supply pipe (H).

Then, the angle-adjusting support means 170 is also induced to be in a crooked state by the crooked angle of the hot water supply pipe (H), with the whole water valve housing 110 is also in a crooked state (water valve housing (in Figure 8) The left portion of the 110) is inclined forwardly).

At this time, in order to adjust the water valve housing 110 in parallel with the wall surface, as described above, when pushing the left portion protruding forward of the water valve housing 110 in the wall surface (W) direction, the angle adjustment support means ( While the angle is adjusted while the pivoting portion 141 rotates by the crooked angle within 170, the width is also adjusted, so that one end of the hot water supply pipe 140 slides into the width adjusting means 130.

This, even if the left portion protruding forward of the water valve housing 110 intentionally pushed in the direction of the wall (W) as described above, in the process of coupling the angle adjustment support means 170 to the coupling means 2 (160) The eastern portion 141 is rotated inside the angle adjustment support means 170, the angle is adjusted.

As described above, after the correction for the crooked angle is made, the angle adjusting support means 170 is firmly tightened and fixed to the coupling means 2 (160).

As described above, the present invention, even if the interval between the cold water supply pipe (C) and the hot water supply pipe (H) constructed on the wall (W), that is, the width is not constructed to meet the design or specifications, the connection width adjustment The gap with the cold water supply pipe 120 can be adjusted while sliding the hot water supply pipe 140 inserted inside the means 130, thereby flexibly coping with the construction width error of the cold / hot water supply pipe (C) (H). .

In addition, the present invention even if the cold water supply pipe (C) and the hot water supply pipe (H) installed on the wall surface (W) is not installed parallel to each other, the hot water supply pipe 140 in the angle adjustment support means (170) Rotating portion 141, which is the tip of the rotating portion, by rotating the three-dimensional angle in the up / down or left / right or front / rear direction, so that the water valve housing 110 is inclined relative to the wall (W) or the bottom surface The condition can be easily corrected.

As another embodiment of the present invention as described above, as shown in Figure 9, one end of the width adjusting means 130 is in communication with the hot water inlet of the water valve cartridge 10, the other end is It may be formed through one side direction of the valve housing 110.

At this time, one side direction of the water valve housing 110 is any one of the side direction of the both sides of the long-axis direction of the water valve housing 110 (the opposite direction where the control knob is located).

In this case, since the width adjusting means 130 is not positioned between the wall surface W and the water valve housing 110, the interval between the wall surface W and the water valve housing 110 may be narrowed.

In addition, as another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 10, the front end of the cold water supply pipe 120 is not coupled to the outer diameter of the coupling means 1 (150) of the coupling means 1 (150) After the interview with the front end, it may be coupled to the coupling means 1 (150) through the nut (121).

At this time, the outer peripheral surface of the front end portion of the cold water supply pipe 120 is provided with a flange protruding in an annular shape, while being pressed and fixed to the coupling means 1 (150) by the pressure applied while the nut 121 is fastened to maintain the airtight.

In addition, a screw thread is formed on the outer end surface of the other end of the portion corresponding to the coupling means 1 (150) of the cold water supply pipe (120), and is coupled to the screw thread formed at the inner diameter of the cold water inlet of the water valve housing (110).

In this case, the water valve housing 110 can be corrected to be inclined with respect to the wall surface or the bottom surface by compensating the skewed angle due to the structural or mechanical play caused by the nut 121 coupling. ) It can keep the whole fixed state more stable and firm.

If, when the cold water supply pipe (C) is constructed in a crooked state in the fitted coupling structure as described above, that is, the cold water supply pipe 120 and the coupling means 1 (150) is fitted through the sliding method coupled, cold water There is a fear that the packing located between the supply pipe 120 and the coupling means 1 (150) may be leaked to any part due to the pressure difference, but it may be compensated through another embodiment of the present invention as described above.

That is, when the cold water supply pipe (C) is skewed, it is preferable to apply the nut 121 coupling structure, otherwise it is preferable to selectively apply the fitting coupling structure.
