Description

{Assembling Type Of Shower Faucet}

In particular, in order to solve problems such as environmental pollution and detection of harmful components caused by manufacturing a shower receiving body by metal casting, a shower receiving body is made of a plurality of parts made of a plastic material To a prefabricated shower faucet of improved construction for easy assembly.

Generally, a shower of a bathroom selectively mixes hot and cold water flowing into cold / hot water supply pipes from a bath and discharges it to a bathtub or discharges it as a shower. In order to improve the convenience of use, And a so-called sunflower-type head having a shape such as a flower of a sunflower, is fixedly installed at a high position together with a hand shower connected to the shower head.

As an example of such a shower faucet, a Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0403384 (registered on Dec. 05, 2005) discloses an apparatus for controlling water temperature in a body connected to a cold / hot water pipe and having a channel connecting a water outlet and a shower In a conventional shower faucet provided with a cock and a flow path switching valve and equipped with a hand shower and a fixed shower, the water temperature control cock is opened and closed by a flow path switching valve under the first flow path from the water temperature adjusting cock to the flood discharging cock, A double flow path body having two flow paths formed therein; And a shower pipe which is fixed to a pipe connection port of the main body and is provided with a fixed shower connecting portion and a hand shower connecting portion and a cross valve provided with a switching valve for selectively opening and closing either one of the two connecting portions, Shower faucets equipped with a distribution pipe are disclosed.

The shower faucet of the conventional shower includes mainly a body formed by metal casting, and valves for selectively opening and closing the flow channel in the body. In order to manufacture a shower faucet made by the metal casting, a metal shower faucet was produced by first preparing a mold with sand, melting the metal in the mold, and cooling the metal shower faucet. In this process, There has been a problem that the working environment is very poor, for example, there is a risk of occurrence of an accident by using the molten metal.

  In addition, the shower faucet made of metal, mainly bronze, rusts on the surface due to long use, causing a problem that a harmful component is released from the body.
