Description

SHOWER FAUCET EXTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM {SHOWER FAUCET EXTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM}

The present invention can flood the shower faucet in the shower booth from a remote place outside the shower booth to prevent cold accident in the bathroom by showering the cold cold water in the hot water pipe in the winter before showering and to prevent unnecessary water waste, The present invention relates to an external control system for a shower faucet that provides energy saving effects.

In the case of using a shower in the winter, it is inconvenient that it takes a long time for water to be showered at a suitable temperature for showering for a few seconds to a few minutes when the water is sprayed after adjusting the shower faucet to hot water. Especially, in a small space such as a shower booth, sudden cold water is easily caught, and if the cold water is suddenly sucked by the elderly or children who have low cognitive abilities, a heart attack may occur. To avoid this, May cause a safety accident in the bathroom. In addition, if the hot and cold water control portion of the shower faucet is controlled to the hot water position and the cold water is not controlled to the hot water, the cold water is circulated to the hot water The time to exit is longer than the time it takes to regulate to full hot water, which causes more water to be wasted. This is because the boiler is restarted from the hot water to the hot water in the state where the water in the hot water pipe is cooled, and a considerable amount of water is wasted until the cold water is circulated back to the hot water.

In Korean Patent No. 10-0960708, which has a technique more advanced than the conventional shower faucet, large-scale facility investment must be made in order to flood hot water having a temperature suited to the user's desire, and in addition, There are many difficult problems to install at low cost, which is universally required through renovation such as remodeling, not construction.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, in which the elderly person or child who has poor cognitive ability suffers a heart attack due to sudden cold water during a winter shower, And it is also intended to reduce waste of energy by reducing unnecessary water waste so that it can be rapidly discharged with water suitable for showering.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a hot water pipe which is branched into a branching adapter to be introduced into a shower faucet, a first hot water pipe connected to a shower faucet on one side and a second hot water pipe connected to an outdoor opening / The water in the hot water pipe is supplied to the shower water receiving and external opening and closing means and the drain pipe is connected to the shower water receiving water pipe at the drainage side of the external opening and closing means so that the inside of the hot water pipe is cooled And the water is jetted to the water outlet of the shower faucet without directly controlling the control part of the shower faucet.

The present invention having the above-described structure can shower the shower faucet in the shower booth from a remote place outside the shower booth by directly operating the external opening / closing means, so that the elderly person or child who has poor cognitive ability suddenly suffers cold water during a winter shower, It is possible to prevent the safety accident of the bathroom which may be caused by falling down in the bathroom to avoid the cold water and also to prevent the safety of the bathroom when the hot and cold water control portion of the shower faucet is adjusted to the hot water position, Since hot water and cold water are mixed with each other at a constant rate, it takes longer than the time of leaving the completely hot water state, thereby preventing unnecessary water waste, thereby achieving water saving effect and energy saving effect.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a system for externally controlling a shower faucet in a shower booth. First, Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the construction of a shower faucet in a conventional shower booth. Fig.

The conventional shower faucet 200 includes a body 210 installed in the shower booth 100 and equipped with opening and closing means for connecting the hot water pipe 400 and the cold water pipe 410 buried in the shower booth 100, A control unit 220 for controlling cold water and adjusting a flow rate, a water outlet 240 for receiving a final shower water, and a water pipe 230 between the body and the water outlet, The cold water cooled in the hot water pipelines will be poured into the shower booth so that it is easy to get cold water in the narrow shower booth. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems by providing an external opening and closing means 300 outside the shower booth.

4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. The first hot water pipe 400a is connected to the shower faucet on one side and the second hot water pipe 400a is connected to the other side of the branched hot water pipe 400. The hot water pipe 400, (430) is connected to the water supply side of the external opening / closing means (300) so that the water in the hot water pipe is supplied to the shower receiving and external opening / closing means, and the drain pipe (440) The cold water cooled in the hot water piping is poured into the water outlet of the shower faucet without directly adjusting the control part of the shower faucet according to the operation state of the external opening and closing means.

The manual opening / closing system includes a valve body 310 provided between the second hot water pipe 430 and the drain pipe 440, and the valve body 310, which is provided between the second hot water pipe 430 and the drain pipe 440, And the manual opening / closing means 320 are fixed to the body of the valve by the fixing lid 330 and the front cover 340 is fixed to the valve body by the fixing member 350 so as to be exposed to the wall surface so that the embedded parts are not exposed to the outside The hermetic member 360 is fixed by the fixing nut 370 and the operating portion 380 is engaged with the manual opening and closing means in order to prevent water flowing on the wall from flowing into the embedded part, Is flooded to the floodgate (240) of the shower faucet or becomes an index.

The automatic opening and closing method will be described with reference to FIG. A controller unit 530 that receives an opening and closing signal from the switch unit and gives an electric signal to the electromagnetic opening and closing unit 510, a second hot water pipe 430 and a drain pipe 440 are connected to each other An electromagnetic opening / closing unit 510 for automatically opening / closing water in the hot water pipe by receiving an electrical signal from the controller unit 530, a temperature sensing unit 540 for sensing the temperature of the water temperature, The power supply unit 550 is configured to electronically control the water in the hot water pipeline to flood or expel water in the water receiving hole 240 of the shower faucet.

The automatic opening and closing system configured as described above operates variously according to the control method. An example of the first operation is to operate according to the ON / OFF operation signal of the switch part to exponent and toe. In the second operation example, when the operation signal of the switch part is input, Is operated so as not to waste water more than necessary, and in the third operation example, the temperature sensing means senses the temperature of the water, and when the predetermined temperature elapses, the water is automatically exponentially developed to obtain a more advanced water saving system.

As described above, the present invention can prevent a safety accident in a bathroom that can be caused by a person suffering from a cognitive decline or a child falling into a bathroom while suddenly suffering a heart attack due to cold water during a winter shower or avoiding cold water In addition, if the control part of the shower faucet is adjusted to the hot water position and the cold water can not be controlled by the hot water, the hot water and the cold water are mixed and discharged at a certain ratio. Therefore, In the present invention, in order to prevent unnecessary waste of water from being consumed because it takes longer than the time of heating and circulating out of the boiler, water can be saved by shortening the time for hot water to be discharged by discharging cold water from the hot water pipe, It does not.
