FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross- 2 is a view for explaining an operation of discharging a fixed amount of liquid by using the liquid quantum discharging device shown in Fig.

5 and 6 are views for explaining the structure of a liquid metering device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The liquid quantum discharging apparatus according to the present invention comprises a liquid discharging portion 10, which is coupled to the container B so as to communicate with the container B in which the liquid is accommodated and in which an opening for discharging the liquid contained in the container B is formed, 20 and the liquid discharge portion 10 and 20 to control the amount of liquid supplied from the container B into the liquid discharge portions 10 and 20 when the container B is tilted And a flow rate controller 30.

The inside of the liquid discharge unit 10 and 20 includes a first space V1 for receiving the liquid supplied from the container B when the container B is tilted, And a second space (V2) for receiving the liquid supplied from the first space (V1).

For this, in the present embodiment, the liquid discharge units 10 and 20 include a cup-shaped body 10 coupled to the container B, and a cup-shaped metering body In the present embodiment, the inner space of the metering body 20 forms a first space V1, and a space between the metering body 20 and the main body 10 is formed in the second space V1. (V2).

The main body 10 has a cup-like shape in which a coupling hole 14 for coupling with the container B and a through-hole 15 for passage of liquid from the container B are formed on the lower surface 13 And a body housing (11).

At this time, the coupling port 14 is formed to extend downwardly of the lower surface. In this embodiment, the inner side surface of the coupling port 14 is provided with a screw tab 14a for coupling to a spout of a container such as a bottle But the present invention is not limited thereto. If necessary, the coupling holes may be formed in the shape of a flexible tube that can be expanded and contracted in the radial direction so as to be easily coupled to the spout of each container.

A first opening 12 for discharging liquid is formed on the upper portion of the main body housing 11 so that liquid can be easily discharged to one side of the first opening 12. [ A funnel-shaped liquid discharge groove 12a may be further formed.

The metering body 20 is provided inside the body housing 11 so that the inner space thereof faces the through hole 15. The metering body 20 has a metering body housing 21 in the shape of a cup, .

The metering body housing 21 is coupled to a lower surface of the main housing 11 and is coupled to an unillustrated coupling groove formed on an inner surface of the main housing 11, A plurality of first engaging protrusions 24 for fixing the inner case 11 to the inside of the main body housing 11 are formed.

A liquid filled in the first space V1 when the container B is set up is placed between the lower surface 13 of the main housing 11 and the lower surface of the metering body housing 21 facing each other in the second space And a second opening 23 having a predetermined area for supplying the first opening 23 to the second opening 23 is further formed.

When the lower surface of the metering body housing 21 is in contact with the bottom of the lower surface 13 of the main housing 11 as in the present embodiment, The metering body housing 21 constituted by the overturned cup-like shape is formed in such a manner that the lower surface rim is spaced apart from the bottom of the lower surface 13 of the main housing 11 by a predetermined gap, , A gap (not shown) formed between the lower surface of the opened metering housing 21 and the bottom of the lower surface 13 of the main housing forms the second opening 23.

The flow control unit 30 includes a tubular guide 33 installed in the first space V1 and an opening and closing member 31 accommodated in the guide 33 and made of a material floating in the liquid .

4 (a), when the container B is tilted, the opening and closing member 31 moves to the upper portion of the guide 33 by its own weight and opens the through-hole 15, The liquid L is supplied to the first space V1 and the lower portion of the guide 33 is moved by the buoyancy force as the liquid L is supplied to the first space V1, The amount of the liquid supplied to the first space V1 is controlled within a certain range.

It is preferable that the guide 33 is formed of a mesh structure at least partially so that the liquid L can be easily supplied into the first space V1 when the through hole 15 is opened In order to prevent the opening and closing member 31 from being separated from the guide 33 and the through hole 15 when the opening and closing member 31 moves in the above-described manner, It is preferable to have a clogged tube shape or a tapered tube shape such that the upper end portion has a smaller cross sectional area than the lower end portion.

The guide 33 is coupled to an unshown coupling groove formed on the inner surface of the metering body housing 21 at the lower portion of the outer side of the metering body housing 21 to be coupled with the lower side of the metering body housing 21, A plurality of second engaging projections 33b are formed to be fixed to the inside of the housing 21.

The flow control unit 30 further includes a weight 32 accommodated in the guide 33 so as to be positioned between the upper end of the guide 33 and the opening and closing member 31, It is preferable that the body 32 is made of a material such as stainless steel or brass which is heavier than the liquid and has excellent corrosion resistance against the liquid.

4 (b), the weight 32 moves to the lower portion of the guide 33 due to its own weight when the container B is set up, thereby pressing the upper portion of the opening / closing member 31, The liquid filled in the first space V1 flows back into the container B rather than into the second space V2 by the buoyant force of the buoyant force, .

4 (a), when the user tilts the container B in an inverted manner to follow the liquid, the liquid quantum discharging device according to the present invention will be described below. The weight 32 and the opening and closing member 31 move in the upper direction of the guide 33 to open the through hole 15 formed in the lower surface 13 of the main body housing 11, So that the liquid is filled.

As described above, when the first space V1 is filled with liquid, the opening and closing member 31 gradually moves downward (that is, through hole direction) of the guide 33 along the guide 33 by buoyancy By closing the through-hole 15, further liquid is prevented from being supplied into the first space V1.

In this case, since the opening and closing member 31 is configured to rise in accordance with the level of the liquid filled in the first space V1, whenever the user tilts the container B to pour liquid, The amount of the liquid to be filled can be maintained in a predetermined range within a predetermined range. This is the case when there is no liquid filled in the first space V1 as in the case of tilting the container B for the first time, The same is true when the liquid is partially filled.

When the user sets the container B directly after the first space V1 is filled with the liquid in the predetermined range, the weight 32 moves in the downward direction of the guide 33 due to its own weight The upper surface of the opening and closing member 31 is pressed to prevent the opening and closing member 31 from rising (that is, opening the through hole) by the buoyancy force, and the liquid contained in the first space V1 At least a part thereof is discharged into the second space V2 through the second opening 23. [

Thereafter, when the user again tilts the container B to follow the liquid L, the first space V1 is filled with the liquid L as described above, and at the same time, the second space V2 is filled with the liquid L, The liquid L filled in the first opening 12 is discharged to the outside through the first opening 12.

In this case, as described above, since the amount of the liquid filled in the first space V1 by the above operation is always kept within a certain range, the amount of the liquid discharged from the second space V2 can be maintained within a certain range By repeating the above operation, the user can always follow the liquid in a predetermined range.

5 and 6 are views for explaining a configuration of a liquid metering device according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the above-described embodiment, and a duplicate description is omitted .

5, a portion of the lower surface 13 of the main body housing 11 extends to an end of the coupling hole 14. In this case, It is possible to increase the amount of the liquid to be filled in the liquid V2.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the metering body housing 21 is formed in the shape of a cup overturned and the clog of the upper surface 22 is formed integrally with the side portion forming the first space V1 has been described as an example In this case, since the main body 10, the metering body 20, and the guide 33 are formed of separate molds and are coupled by the first and second coupling protrusions 24 and 33b, There was a time-consuming problem.

6, the upper surface 22 of the metering body housing is configured to be detachably coupled to the upper end of the side portion forming the first space V1, And is integrally formed so as to extend from the upper surface (22) of the body housing toward the through hole (15).

In this case, the side surface portion of the metering body housing 21 forming the first space V1 is preferably integrally extended from the bottom surface 13 of the main housing 11 toward the first opening 12 Do.

According to the above configuration, since the main body 10, the metering body 20, and the guide 33 used in the liquid metering device according to the present invention can be produced by only two dies, the production cost and time can be significantly There is an advantage that it can be reduced.

In this case, by simply changing the thickness (W in Fig. 6) between the upper surface 22 of the metering housing and the upper end of the guide 33, There is an advantage in that the amount of liquid discharged to the outside can be changed as needed.

Meanwhile, as described above, the weight 32 may be made of a material having a specific gravity heavier than that of the liquid, It is preferable that the opening and closing member 31 is made of a material having a specific gravity smaller than that of the liquid.

In the above-described embodiments, the opening and closing member 31 is a ball-shaped spherical member. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The opening and closing member 31 may have a disc shape, But may be formed in various shapes such as a cylindrical shape and an ellipsoidal shape.

In the above-described embodiments, the case where the body 10 and the metering body 20 are respectively formed as a cup or a cup shape is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The body 10, the metering body 20, and the guide 33 may have various shapes and structures (including a coupling structure).

In this case, it should be understood that the various shapes and structures of the main body 10, the metering body 20, and the guide 33 are merely design modifications of those skilled in the art, and therefore fall within the scope of the present invention.
