Description

Water jet device with adjustable jetting position {FAUCET STRUCTURE OF A CONTROLLABLE WATER DISCHARGING POSITION}

The present invention relates to a water jetting device capable of adjusting the jetting water position, and more particularly, to a water jetting device for convenient use by allowing the user to arbitrarily adjust the water jetting position of the tap water.

In general, the faucet installed in the kitchen has a fixed height when building the building, the kitchen sink is installed according to the height of the faucet.

Therefore, the faucet installed in the kitchen will always have a certain height, so that the water discharge pipe of the faucet can be rotated from side to side as a means for convenient use.

Such a water discharge pipe is provided in the power receiving bracket 72 which has the some handle 70 as shown to FIG. 5 (a), and one is shown as FIG. 5 (b). There is one provided in the power receiving bracket 76 having the lever 74.

In the case of FIG. 5A, the water discharge pipe 78 is located above the faucet bracket, and in FIG. 5B, the water discharge pipe 78 is located below the faucet fixture.

In such a structure, since the water discharge pipe 78 rotates only to the left and right, the distance from the sink bucket (not shown) of the sink located below the water discharge pipe 78 does not change.

Therefore, especially when washing dishes in the kitchen, bulky containers may collide with the water discharge pipes.To prevent such collisions, when the water discharge pipes are rotated to the periphery side, the water jetting devices proposed so far are splashed around the sink. It is pointed out that there are many things that need to be improved.

In particular, when installing a sink of a new product in an old structure, the distance between the faucet and the sink's drip tray is not appropriate, and when changing the faucet bracket with one lever from a plurality of handle structures, the sink and the faucet of the sink do not match. There are many cases.

In addition, to solve this problem, re-plumbing the water pipe is time and economical, so no solution has been proposed until now.

The present applicant has proposed Utility Model Registration No. 50936 on December 18, 1996 to solve the problems of the prior art as described above.

However, the flexible pipe of the water jetting device which can adjust the jetting position of the above application is not good for hygiene because the foreign matter such as dust is caught in the flexible pipe located outside the synthetic resin pipe because the synthetic pipe is located only inside the flexible pipe. Rather, it acts as a factor that shortens the elastic force and lifespan.

Another disadvantage is that the connecting means for connecting the flexible pipe and the connecting end formed on the faucet has a packing member installed on the outer periphery of the flexible pipe and screwed together using the above-described connecting end and the nut member. When the packing member does not rotate smoothly due to the packing member, the life of the packing member is shortened.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is to use the faucet bracket of the faucet as it is to change the water discharge position arbitrarily user can vary the distance of passing through the sink basin appropriately In addition, the present invention provides a water discharge device capable of adjusting the water discharge position which can be hygienically used for a long time.

In order to realize the object of the present invention as described above, the water discharge device connected in the attachment of the water discharge device for use in the faucet bracket connected to the water supply pipe, tap water flows into the flexible synthetic resin pipe located inside the flexible pipe, In manufacturing flexible pipes that can bend and maintain posture, the flexible configuration includes a posture maintenance means in which a first elastic member of a circular cross section and a second elastic member of a triangular cross section are wound spirally, and a connection connecting the faucet bracket and the flexible pipe. The water jetting position includes a pipe and a connection member including a connecting member formed by inserting a packing member into a hole formed in the rotating member and a protrusion formed in the connecting tube coupled to a groove formed in the rotating member so that the posture maintaining means can rotate. With adjustable water jetting device, you can change the water jet position at your discretion. It is possible to suitably vary the distance of the water receiving passage, the user can smooth rotation in the circumferential direction.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail.

1 and 2 are side cross-sectional views of the water jetting apparatus according to the present invention, and show that it is applied to the power receiving bracket 4 having a plurality of handles 2.

The power receiving bracket 4 is a conventional one as it is, and connects the connecting pipe 8 and the rotating member 10 to the discharge pipe connecting end 6 so as to be in communication with each other, and the rotating member 10 is flexible. The pipe 12 is connected so as to communicate with each other so that the tap water can be jetted to the water heater 14 through the flexible pipe 12 described above.

The connection of the connecting tube 8 and the rotating member 10 is inserted into the packing member 18 in the groove 16 formed in the rotating member 10 as shown in Figure 3b and the connecting tube 8 to the outside ) Can be inserted into the locking jaw 20 of the rotating member 10 and then pressed in the circumferential direction by using a press or the like on the outer periphery of the connecting pipe 8.

In this case, a protrusion 22 is formed inside the connection pipe 8, and a groove 24 corresponding to the protrusion 22 is formed outside the rotating member 10.

Therefore, the coupling member 8 and the rotating member 10 connected to the connecting tube 8 can be easily rotated in the circumferential direction, and the packing member 18 inserted into the rotating member 10 also has a vertical movement or torsional direction. The service life is long because no friction force is generated in the rotational direction.

The other side of the rotating member 10 coupled with the connection pipe 8 is coupled to the flexible pipe 12 by pressing the rotating member 10 by a press or the like, and to maintain airtightness at the lower end of the rotating member 10. The general packing member 26 is forcibly pressed in to maintain hermeticity.

As shown in FIG. 4, the flexible pipe 12 includes posture holding means capable of flowing tap water and bending inside, and soft synthetic resin pipes 28 and 30 positioned inside and outside the posture holding means. Is formed.

The posture maintaining means is wound in a coil shape in a state in which the iron core having a circular cross section is wound onto the coil and in contact with the core of the first elastic member 32 and the iron core of the first elastic member 32. It has a second elastic member 34.

The second elastic member 34 has a substantially triangular cross section and is manufactured in a band shape and wound in a coil shape and elastically.

Since the first elastic member 32 has a circular cross section, the contact portion of the second elastic member 34 in contact with the first elastic member is formed with a circular groove so that the circular member can be in surface contact. What is necessary is just a structure.

When the synthetic resin pipes 28 and 30 are positioned inside and outside the elastic members 32 and 34, the elastic members 32 and 34 made of metal do not come into contact with the tap water, so that rust does not occur, thus extending the life and the state of cleanness. It can maintain and maintain the elastic force semi-permanently.

In addition, a lubricant (not shown) may be further included between the elastic members 32 and 34.

Such lubricants may be used, such as commonly used grease, it is good that the temperature does not change itself.

Including a lubricant in the elastic members 32 and 34 can bend the flexible pipe more easily and smoothly, further increasing the convenience of use.

In addition, the outer synthetic resin pipe 30 may be provided in a variety of colors to match the atmosphere of the water discharge device is installed.

The flexible pipe 12 and the power receiving bracket 4 is preferably made to be more convenient and easy to combine when combined.

In this embodiment, the adapter 36 is used for the coupling in this case.

The adapter 36 is composed of female and male adapters 38 and 40 which are screwed together, and in order to easily connect the flexible pipe when the outer end of the connection end 6 of the faucet 4 is small. The female adapter 38 is positioned outside the one connecting end 6 and the male adapter 40 is positioned outside the connecting tube 8 so that the screw holes 42 and the screws 44 formed in the female adapter 38 are provided. ), Etc., so that these parts can be fixed and connected.

Figure 3 shows that the present invention is applied to the power receiving bracket of the type having one lever.

In this type, the flexible pipe can be connected to the connection end 6 formed integrally with the faucet by using a direct adapter as shown in FIG. 1, but in this case, the flexible pipe is disturbed when washing the dishes, so the flexible pipe is moved upward. I am looking for a means to raise.

Such a means is provided with an adapter 36 at the connecting end 6, connecting one side of the curved tube 54 to the adapter 36, and then attaching the flexible pipe 12 to the other end of the curved tube 54. To connect.

The curved pipe 54 may be made by manufacturing the connecting pipe 8 in a bent form.

The connection of the curved pipe 54 and the flexible pipe 12 may be combined in the same manner as that of the power receiving bracket having the plurality of handles described above, as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

The water jetting device according to the present invention, which is constituted as described above, can move the jetting port position in a desired direction because the site where the tap water is jetted is made of a flexible pipe.

The water discharge port can perform its function only when the moved posture is maintained as it is, and the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, has a first elastic member 32 having a circular cross section and a second elastic member having a triangular cross section. Combining the 34 in the form of a coil and surrounding the inner and outer sides of the synthetic resin pipes 28 and 30 allows the user to change the posture to an arbitrary position so that the posture can be maintained even when the tap water is pitched.

As described above, the water discharge device according to the present invention can freely change the position of the water discharge port, so that the water discharge port can be moved up, down, left, or right. You can change the position of the water jet freely.

In addition, when the water jet is rotated in the circumferential direction, it can be easily and smoothly rotated to extend the life of the packing member, and since foreign matter does not occur in the flexible pipe, it is possible to maintain cleanliness and elastic force.

Therefore, the water work in the sink can be more convenient than before, and the water jetting device of the present invention can be installed while using the conventional faucet, and the same problem occurs even when the sink is replaced or the faucet is replaced. I never do that.
