Description

A hose for a shower hiving tangle preventing funtion with improved watertightness

The present invention relates to an anti-twist connector for a showerhead, and more particularly, a tangle-prevention means having a free rotation and a leak-preventing function at the joint connection portion between the shower head and the shower hose, so that it is stable and convenient to use. It relates to an anti-twist connector for a showerhead with improved watertightness to have a relationship.

The shower helps not only basic physical hygiene but also skin beauty, and especially, it provides a role of helping mental health by relaxing the body and mind that are tired from daily life.

That is, the shower refers to the act of washing off body contaminants by spraying water in the form of a sprayer, and at this time, the means used is usually referred to as a shower.

Accordingly, a brief look at the generally widely used configuration of a shower, which is a fluid shower hose of a predetermined length that stably guides water discharged through a water pipe to a required direction and position, and a small particle of water supplied from the shower hose. It consists of a shower head that splits into shape and sprays.

However, in such a conventional shower, the shower hose and the shower head are connected by a single body structure fixed by a simple screw fastening method, and the shower hose and the shower head are always in the same copper line by the fixed connection structure. Therefore, the conventional shower hose as described above is easily twisted without adequately responding to various direction changes of the user, and the twisted shower hose is not unscrewed directly by the user due to labor. Unless it maintains its twisted state, there is a problem in that the use relationship is very inconvenient and cumbersome, such as disturbing the smooth movement of the showerhead.

Accordingly, in recent years, as a method for preventing the twist of the shower hose, as described above, a “shower hose having a twist prevention function” registered in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (Utility Model Registration No. 0288757) has been created.

Such, the prior application registration technology, by mounting a rotating member including a sealing means at the end of the shower hose connected to the shower head, the shower head can be rotated irrespective of the shower hose, the configuration to prevent twisting of the shower hose Has features.

However, the shower hose having a twist prevention function as the pre-registered technology has a structure in which the lower portion of the coupling portion of the shower head is pressed against the upper surface of the packing fixture provided in the shower hose because the shower head is coupled to the shower hose. Accordingly, the problem of twisting the shower hose remains unchanged without inducing the rotational action of the showerhead smoothly. In particular, in order to prevent the rotational action of the showerhead from being unfavorable due to the pressure coupling force, When the coupling force of the shower hose is weakened, there is a problem of a significant structural obstruction that causes a leakage phenomenon in the joint portion of the shower head and the shower hose due to the weak coupling force.

On the other hand, in recent years, as a solution to the problem of the pre-registered technology "shower hose having a twist prevention function", a "shower hose anti-twist connector" registered in advance by the inventor of the present application has been created.

However, the "shower hose anti-twist connector" developed in advance by the inventor of the present invention is accepted as a simple avoidance configuration in which the watertight packing coupled into the packing receiving groove is not directly affected by the water pressure flowing through the waterway hole. By forming an avoidance gap spaced a predetermined distance between the bottom surface of the fastener of the showerhead and the sealing fastener of the twist prevention member, the watertightness of the watertight packing coupling portion and the avoiding void formation portion relatively decreases, causing a leakage phenomenon. There is a problem.

Accordingly, the present invention is invented to solve the general problems of the conventional showerhead anti-twist connector;

It is an object of the present invention to form a water channel insertion pipe in a twist prevention unit that connects a shower head and a shower hose in a rotatable structure, and connect the formed water channel insertion pipe with the supply channel of the shower head by an insertion and fastening structure. The space configuration created by the coupling portion of the showerhead and the anti-twist unit, for example, to eliminate the avoidance gap. In particular, despite the elimination of the avoidance gap, the free rotational action of the shower hose is caused by external components (shower head). The purpose is to provide an anti-twist connector for a showerhead with improved watertightness, which greatly increases the efficiency of use, such as preventing unnecessary leaks from the source by making it smooth and easy without being restricted by coupling pressure or frictional interference.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to form a first variable mill groove and a first variable mill rod in the hose connection member, and to form a second variable mill groove and a second variable mill rod in the rotation inducing member, so that these configurations are mutually By allowing the concave-convex fitting structure to be combined, the watertightness is further improved, and in addition, a clearance of a predetermined space is formed at the connection part between the shower head and the water channel insertion pipe, and the connection part of the shower hose and the hose connection member, It is to provide an anti-twist connector for a showerhead with improved watertightness so that the function and the watertightness can be greatly increased by allowing the hose connection member to slide up and down so that the free rotation action of the hose connection member is more smooth.

Accordingly, as a specific means of the anti-twist connector for a showerhead having improved water tightness according to the present invention for achieving the above object;

In the twist prevention unit consisting of a hose connection member, a rotation guide member, and a rotation guide packing, the hose connection member integrally forms a packing fixing piece, a rotation packing fastening groove, and a water channel insertion pipe, and fixes the packing. The piece is formed of a sliding fastening mechanism, a first variable mill groove, and a first variable mill rod;

The rotation inducing member includes a high sealing ring coupled with a rotation coupling hole formed therein, and a watertight locking type integrally provided with a second variable sealing groove and a second variable sealing rod around an inner diameter surface below the rotation coupling hole It is achieved by forming a stepped jaw.

As described above, the anti-twist connector for a showerhead having improved watertightness according to the present invention forms a water channel insertion pipe in the anti-twist unit, and connects the water channel insertion pipe with the supply channel of the shower head through an insertion and fastening structure to twist the shower head. The space configuration created by the coupling portion of the prevention unit, for example, avoidance voids are excluded, and in spite of the elimination of the avoidance voids, the free rotational action of the shower hose is caused by the coupling pressure or frictional interference with external components (shower head). By making it smooth and easy without being constrained, unnecessary leaks are prevented from the source, and this provides an effect of increasing use efficiency.

Also, according to the present invention, the anti-twist connector for a showerhead having improved watertightness according to the present invention forms a first variable mill groove and a first variable mill rod in a hose connecting member, and a second variable mill groove and a second in the rotation guide member. By forming a variable milling rod and combining these configurations with a concave-convex meshing structure, water tightness is further improved, and in addition, a predetermined space in the connection part of the shower head and the water channel insertion pipe, and the connection part of the shower hose and the hose connection member. By forming a clearance of the composition and allowing the hose connection member to slide up and down as much as the clearance range, the free rotational action of the hose connection member is made more smooth and the functionality is also increased, which provides a very useful expected effect. .
