It is a side cross-sectional view showing the maximum water supply state of the shower, and Figure 8 is a side cross-sectional view showing the minimum water supply state of the water-saving shower device according to the present invention.

As shown in these drawings, the water-saving shower 100 having an opening and closing function according to the present invention is installed in a bag 1, and a passage 11 is formed through it in the vertical direction, and a passage 11 and a passage 11 are formed in the horizontal direction. A body (10) through which a communicating manipulation hole (12) is formed; A slider 20 that is inserted into the manipulation hole 12 of the body 10 and slides laterally so that the central through hole 21 communicates with the flow path 11 to open or close the flow path 11; It is installed on one side of the operating hole 12 of the body 10 and rotates while assembled with one end of the slider 20, and the eccentric band 32 is rotated according to the degree of rotation of the eccentric band 32 located inside the slider 20. An operation button (30) for controlling the water supply amount by partially blocking the through hole (21) of the slider (20); And an opening button (40) installed on the other side of the operating hole (12) of the body (10) and assembled with the slider (20); Includes.

The body 10 is installed in the handle 1 of the shower as shown in Figure 1, and as shown in Figures 2 to 5, a passage 11 is formed through it in the vertical direction to allow water to pass through. , an operating hole 12 communicating with the flow path 11 in the horizontal direction is formed through.

The slider 20 is inserted into the operating hole 12 of the body 10 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, is formed in a cylindrical shape, and has a through hole 21 in the vertical direction at the center, The insertion hole 22, which is open at one end, is formed to communicate with the through hole 21. The through hole 21 selectively communicates with the flow path 11 of the body 10. That is, when the through hole 21 of the slider 20 and the flow path 11 of the body 10 are located on the same vertical line, the through hole 21 and the flow path 11 communicate with each other, so water passes through and supplies water. If the slider 20 moves to one side and the through hole 21 deviates from the flow path 11, the flow path 11 is closed and the water supply is blocked.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the operation button 30 is connected to one side of the slider 20 and exposed to the outside, and is installed on one side of the operation hole 12 of the body 10, and the slider 20 ) is installed to rotate as it is assembled with the end.

Looking at the structure of the operation button 30 in more detail, a cylindrical knob 31 is partially inserted into the operation hole 12 on one side of the body 10 and protrudes from the operation hole 12, and the inside of the knob 31 It consists of an eccentric band 32 that protrudes eccentrically from the side and has a semicircular cross-section, and a shaft end 33 formed on the other side of the eccentric band 32 and located at the end of the insertion hole 22 of the slider 20.

With this structure, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the eccentric band 32 of the operation button 30 is connected to the flow path 11 of the body 10 and the through hole 21 of the slider 20. ) is positioned vertically, the through hole 21 is maximally opened, and when the eccentric band 32 is positioned horizontally, the through hole 21 is minimally opened. Therefore, the water supply amount can be adjusted by rotating the knob 31 integrated with the eccentric table 32.

Circular packings 25 are installed on both sides of the slider 20 to block the gap between the operating hole 12 of the body 10 and the slider 20, and to separate the operating hole 12 of the body 10 from the flow path. Packing (15) is installed on the surface where (11) intersects and is in close contact with the outer periphery of the slider (20) to prevent water leakage.

The operation hole 12 of the body 10 forms a locking protrusion 16 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the knob 31 of the operation button 30 is caught by the locking protrusion 16. By forming a step 36, the operation button 30 rotates within the stopping step 16. Here, it is desirable to design the positions of the locking step 16 and the step 36 so that they are caught when the through hole 21 is at its maximum and minimum openings.

The opening button 40 is installed on the operating hole 12 of the body 10 and integrated with the slider 20, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, and is connected to the operating hole 12 on the other side of the body 10. It is partially inserted into the cylinder and is formed to protrude from the manipulation hole 12, and a protrusion 47 is formed on the inner periphery in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a slide groove 17 into which the protrusion 47 is inserted is formed in the operating hole 12 in the longitudinal direction, so that the opening button 40 protrudes in the longitudinal direction without rotating. Ultimately, the slider 20 assembled and integrated with the open button 40 cannot rotate together with the open button 40 and can only slide in the longitudinal direction.

The operational effects of the water-saving shower device 100 having the water supply volume control and opening/closing functions according to the present invention structured as described above will be described.

First, the shower 100 of the present invention is normally used in a state in which the flow path 11 of the body 10 and the through hole 21 of the slider 20 are maximally open and water is supplied through the flow path 11. do. That is, the flow path 11 of the body 10 and the through hole 21 of the slider 20 are located on the same vertical line so that water passes through, and the eccentric band 32 installed in the slider 20 is located vertically. The through hole 21 is used with the maximum open state.

When using it in this way, if the water supply amount is too much and you want to use it less, adjust the water supply amount by rotating the knob (31) of the operation button (30). That is, when the knob 31 is rotated, the eccentric band 32 integrated with the knob 31 rotates and gradually moves from vertical to horizontal, partially blocking the space of the through hole 21 through which water passes. When the eccentric band 32 is positioned horizontally, the through hole 21 is in the minimum open state, so the user can adjust the water supply amount to an appropriate amount by rotating the knob 31.

And if you want to temporarily cut off the water supply, press the knob (31) to cut off the water supply. That is, when the user presses the knob 31, the slider 20 assembled therewith moves together, and the through hole 21 of the slider 20 deviates from the flow path 11 of the body 10 and moves through the flow path 11. Close and cut off the water supply. If you want to supply water again, press the open button (40) to return the slider (20) to its original position so that the flow path (11) of the body (10) and the through hole (21) of the slider (20) are located on the same vertical line. By doing so, water supply is achieved.

In this way, the amount of water supply can be adjusted and blocked by simply rotating or pressing the operation button 30, so it is very convenient to use, and since it can be operated while holding the shower 100, it can be easily operated without looking.

Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a water-saving shower device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the figure, a pressing means 50 for pressing the opening button 40 is installed.

The pressing means 50 includes a rotating plate 51 installed to rotate on the body 10, a pressing roller 52 installed to rotate idly on the rotating plate 51, and a shaft of the rotating plate 51. It consists of a torsion spring 53 that rotates the rotating plate 51 in the direction of the opening button 40. Also, a compression spring (S) is installed between the opening button (40) and the body (10), so that the pressed opening button (40) protrudes by the compression spring (S) when the external force is removed. In this process, the pressing roller 52 presses the circumference of the opening button 40, so that the opening button 40 gradually protrudes. The pressure roller 52 is preferably made of a material such as rubber or silicone that has its own elastic restoring force.

Due to this structure, even if water is supplied by pressing the open button 40 to communicate with the flow path 11 and the through hole 21, the open button 40 gradually protrudes and blocks the flow path 11, thereby automatically supplying water. is blocked. Here, the time the water supply is cut off is determined by the elastic coefficient of the compression spring (S), so an appropriate design must be made.

Conversely, when the open button 40 is pressed, the rotating plate 51 is lifted and can be easily pressed without any interference.
