Description

Water saving type faucet with water quantity control function

The present invention relates to a water tap, and more particularly, to a water-saving tap that can be applied to a multi-stage divergent water supply system to implement water-saving and water-controlling capacity.

In general, a water supply system for supplying water from a water supply or a boiler to a bathroom, a veranda, a sink, and the like is essential. To this end, piping is required. Currently, the most commonly used method is a one-to-one method of supplying water to a desired point through one distributor installed in the pipe.

The one-to-one method is a method in which water supplied from a water supply source is distributed to a sink, a washing machine, a bathtub, a wash basin, a toilet, and the like, using a single distributor. However, in the case of using the one-to-one type of dispenser as described above, since the distributor and each end-use destination are directly connected to each other, the pipes become complicated and construction is difficult, and interference with other structures occurs.

In order to solve the problem of the one-to-one type of water supply system as described above, a technology for a multi-stage branched water supply system that can supply water in multiple stages has been proposed. Such a multi-stage divergent water supply system allows a plurality of power outlets 10a, 10b, and 10c to be sequentially connected from a water supply source, as shown in FIG.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 1446616 (August 31, 2014)

In the multi-stage branched water supply system as described above, when using multiple power outlets connected in multiple stages simultaneously, the farther the water source is, the less the amount of water discharged. This is due to the difference in frictional resistance according to the hydraulic pressure and the pipe length. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem so that the water pressure is maintained relatively uniformly at all the water supply points. Furthermore, the amount of water discharged is adjusted according to the frequency of use so that the water taps with high frequency of use, such as washbasins, have sufficient amount of water discharged. Therefore, it is necessary to discharge water to the required amount of electric power tools so that the water saving function can be implemented as a result.

In the present invention, a constant space in which water is formed is formed, a body having an inlet through which water is introduced into the space, a discharge port through which the introduced water is discharged to the outside, and a distribution port through which the inflowed water is distributed, and an inner hollow cylinder shape. Including a flow rate regulator which is installed to be rotated inside the body in communication with the discharge port and is guided to the discharge port by changing the direction of the water flowing from the inlet port, the flow rate regulator to rotate Providing a water-saving faucet with a water quantity control function to control the flow rate of water discharged to the outlet by adjusting the resistance imparted to the flow of water by controlling the distance from the inlet to the guide hole water To achieve the purpose.

According to the present invention it is possible to adjust the flow rate of the water discharged from the faucet to the outlet, thus in a water supply system in which a plurality of faucet is arranged to implement the water supply system to save water by controlling the amount of water discharged from each faucet as desired It becomes possible.

The present invention is to control the water discharge to the required amount in each tap in the tap connected to the multi-stage so that the water saving function is implemented as a result,

A body having a constant space in which water is retained, the body having an inlet through which water is introduced into the space, an outlet through which the inflowed water is discharged to the outside, and a distribution port through which the introduced water is distributed; And a flow rate controller having a hollow cylinder shape in which the inside is pivotably installed in the body in communication with the discharge port, and having a guide hole for guiding the discharge water by changing the direction of water flowing from the inlet to the discharge port; Including, by adjusting the flow rate regulator to adjust the distance of the water flowing from the inlet to the guide hole by adjusting the resistance imparted to the flow of water to adjust the flow rate of the water discharged to the outlet We propose a water-saving faucet equipped with.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

As shown, the water-saving faucet according to the present invention includes a flow rate regulator 200 and is configured to control the amount of water discharged to the flow rate regulator 200. The flow rate regulator 200 is installed in the body 100 of the water-saving faucet formed with a constant space in which the water stays, the body 100 is the inlet 110 and the water flows into the water flows into the space Is provided with a discharge port 130 is discharged to the outside 130 and the distribution port 120 is the inflow of water is introduced, the inlet port 110 of the other water-saving faucet adjacent to the distribution port 120 formed in any one water-saving faucet ) To form a multi-stage divergent water supply system.

The flow rate regulator 200 is formed to be rotatable inside the body 100 in a state in which the inside is in communication with the outlet 130 to form a hollow cylinder, the guide hole 222 is formed on the side. The guide hole 222 serves to guide the discharge port 130 by changing the direction of water flowing into the inner space of the body 100 through the inlet 110.

The flow rate regulator 200 may be composed of a first body 210 and a second body 220. It is to form a shape in which a different diameter of the barrel is continuous, the first body 210 is larger in diameter than the second body (220). This configuration is related to the configuration of the outlet 130. In other words, the first body 210 is inserted into the outlet 130 is accommodated in the configuration, the first body 210 is accommodated in the outlet 130 is to be installed so that the flow rate regulator 200 is rotatable. . In this configuration, the guide hole 222 is formed in the second body 220. Therefore, when the first body 210 is fitted to the outlet 130, the second body 220 is naturally accommodated in the interior space of the body 100.

As described above, since the flow rate regulator 200 is formed in the inner space of the body 100, the resistance given to the flow of water introduced through the inlet 110 and discharged to the outlet 130 is increased. As the guide hole 222 is formed on the side of the flow rate regulator 200, the water flowing through the inlet 110 is sharply converted to the outlet 130 through the guide hole 222 and is bent. Resistance is given to the flow of water. As a result, a phenomenon in which the flow velocity and the flow rate decreases occurs.

Here, according to the flow rate regulator 200 according to the present invention is installed to be able to rotate, as shown in Figure 6 when rotated as necessary to adjust the distance between the guide hole 222 in the inlet 110. . Through this distance control it is possible to control the time that the water flowing from the inlet 110 reaches the guide hole 222, as a result, the water discharged to the outlet 130 by adjusting the resistance imparted to the flow of water The flow rate of can be adjusted.

On the other hand, the guideway 224 is formed inside the flow rate regulator 200. A tubular shape having a predetermined length is formed in a direction parallel to the second body 220 inside the second body 220, and forms a tubular shape having a predetermined length. The inlet is open and in communication with the first body 210, the outer circumferential surface is formed in a convex shape downward in the vertical direction above the guide hole 222. The guide path 224 serves to guide the first body 210 by changing the direction of water flowing through the guide hole 222. Water introduced into the second body 220 through the guide hole 222 hits the outer circumferential surface of the guide path 224, spreads to both sides, and then flows into the guide path 224. Therefore, a buffering phenomenon occurs naturally, so that the water stays in the second body 220 for a predetermined time and is discharged again along the guide path 224. As a result, the water is discharged while causing another buffering phenomenon in the interior of the body 100 and in the second body 220. As a result, the flow rate is reduced.

Water-saving faucet according to the present invention that can adjust the flow rate of the water discharged to the discharge port 130 as described above can be applied to the multi-stage divergent water supply system so that the water can be discharged relatively uniformly for each water supply. have. As the resistance given to the water increases according to the distance of the water source, the farther the distance is, the water discharged is reduced. When the resistance given to the water is increased to the flow rate regulator 200 at the nearby water source, the distance is far. The discharge of water from the water supply is increased, so that the discharge of water is uniformly adjusted in this way. In addition, the amount of water discharged can be adjusted according to the frequency of use at each water supply source. By controlling the discharge of these various methods, it is possible to adequately provide the required amount of water at the required water supply source, resulting in water saving. Will be.

On the other hand, the water-saving faucet according to the present invention further includes a means for connecting the faucet to the outlet 130. The coupling pipe 300 is connected to the body 100 through the outlet 130 is that bar, the coupling pipe 300 is discharged to the outlet 130 by being detachably connected to the faucet or integrally formed in the faucet. Water is discharged into the tap.

The coupling pipe 300 is connected to the first body 210 in the outlet 130. It is to be fitted into the first body (210). Therefore, the water flowing through the second body 220 is discharged through the coupling pipe (300).

The grab ring 330 is installed inside the first body 210. The grab ring 330 is a configuration in which a tooth is formed to form a ring and protrude toward the center. The saw tooth is formed to be inclined toward the second body 220. When the coupling pipe 300 is fitted to the first body 210, the coupling pipe 300 penetrates the grappling ring 330 while pushing the teeth. In the penetrating state, the tooth presses the outer circumferential surface of the coupling pipe 300 so that the coupling pipe 300 is not separated. When this expansion can be separated to give the coupling pipe (300). Here, a groove may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the coupling pipe 300 to secure the coupling.

The fastening nut 400 is fastened to the outlet 130. The outlet 130 is screwed into the inlet is fastened. The fastening nut 400 has a double pipe structure in which two pipes having different diameters are formed in double, and the end of the inner pipe is pressed against the grabbing ring 330 installed inside the coupling pipe 300. Prevent deviations. The coupling pipe 300 penetrates the inner tube and is inserted into the first body 210 to penetrate the grabbing ring 330.

The operation of expanding the grab ring 330 for separation of the coupling tube 300 is accomplished by the pressing ring 320. The pressing ring 320 forms a pipe shape and is formed to have a predetermined length and is detachably installed on the outer circumference of the coupling pipe 300. The thread is formed on the outer circumference of the coupling pipe 300 so that the pressing ring 320 is fastened in a screwing manner. When the pressing ring 320 is fitted to the first body 210 located inside the outlet 130 in the state in which the coupling pipe 300 is fastened, the pressing ring 320 is naturally fitted to the first body 210. will be.

As described above, when the pressing ring 320 fastened to the coupling pipe 300 moves forward, the tip of the pressing ring 320 pushes the teeth formed in the grabbing ring 330. Accordingly, as the teeth push, the grabbing ring 330 is expanded, and in this state, the coupling pipe 300 can be pulled out and separated.

On the other hand, the screw thread formed in the coupling pipe 300 is formed so that the pressing ring 320 can be tightened when the coupling pipe 300 is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction in which the fastening nut 260 is tightened. For example, if the fastening nut 400 is rotated in the clockwise direction and fastened to the outlet 130, the pressing ring 320 is also tightened by rotating in the clockwise direction in the coupling pipe 300 such that nasansan is formed. And the outer circumference of the pressing ring 320 is formed to mesh with the inner circumference of the fastening nut 400. Protruding groove structure is formed on the outer circumference of the pressing ring 320 and the inner circumference of the fastening nut 400 is engaged with each other.

According to the configuration as shown in Figure 6 in the state in which the pressing ring 320 is fastened to the coupling pipe 300, the coupling nut 300 is rotated in the direction in which the fastening nut 400 is tightened to the outlet 130 inlet Then, the pressing ring 320 is advanced along the coupling pipe 300 to expand the grabbing ring 330 can be separated from the coupling pipe (300). On the contrary, when the coupling nut 300 is rotated in the direction in which the fastening nut 400 is released, the pressing ring 320 is retracted along the coupling tube 300. When the coupling nut 300 is retracted to the end and reaches a fully tightened state, as shown in FIG. 7. The fastening nut 400 engaged with the pressure ring 320 is released while rotating together. Therefore, it is possible to easily install the faucet in the water-saving faucet according to the present invention by simply inserting it, not simply tightening the method. The faucet can be separated by only holding and rotating the faucet by hand without a separate tool. And the convenience of separating work is improved.
