Description

{Plug apparatus of drain}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a stopper device for a drain hole, and more particularly, to a stopper device for a drain hole used for storing or discharging water in a swimming pool or a bath.

Generally, in a place where a large water tank such as a bathroom and a swimming pool is provided, the water contained in the water tank must be drained and replaced periodically. In other words, it is a very important hygienic matter that the water stored in the water tank is contaminated and the contaminated water is replaced with fresh water because the user uses the water for a certain period of time.

Therefore, when replacing the water in the tank, first, the used water in the tank must be discharged to the outside, and fresh water should be stored in the tank after the discharge is completed. In this way, when the water in the water tank is removed (discharged), the water drain provided in the water tank is opened and discharged to the drain.

In order to remove the water in the water tank, a drain hole is disposed on the bottom surface of the water tank, and a drain pipe is connected to the inner bottom surface of the drain hole to allow the fluid to escape. Here, in order to fill the water in the water tank, the drain hole is blocked by a separate drain plug, and the water tank is filled with water. If the water tank has stored a certain level of fluid (H), water pressure proportional to the water level (H) will be applied to the drain port when the drain plug that blocks the drain port is removed. In particular, the water pressure applied to a narrow drainage area, which is a large storage area of a water tank, is considerable.

Therefore, when the drain plug is removed in the state where a high water pressure is applied to the drain port, the flow rate of the fluid flowing into and discharged from the drain port becomes considerable. At this time, if there is a person in the water tank, a person's hand or foot may be injured, and if the pressure resistance of the drain hole and the drain pipe is weak, the drain hole and the drain pipe may be damaged.

Especially in the case of a large bath in the bath, when children are pulled out of water, children's hair often gets caught in the drains, causing a child to die. When the water pressure of the general structure of the bathroom drainage is measured, it is more than five times the power of the child in the maximum of 49 kg. Therefore, the child can not overcome the drainage pressure of the drainage hole.
