이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시 예에 대해 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 상세하게 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 1은 본 발명의 잠금속도 조절기를 구비한 자폐식 절수장치의 정지상태를 도시한 종단면도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 A부의 확대도이다.1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a stationary state of a self-closing water saving device equipped with a lock speed regulator of the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a portion A of FIG.

상기 도면에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 잠금속도 조절기를 구비한 자폐식 절수장치는 온수와 냉수가 공급되는 메인관에 연결되면서 수로(22)가 구비된 상부밸브뭉치(20)와, 상기 상부밸브뭉치(20)와 결합되며 내측에 탄발력에 의해 일정시간이 지나면 수로를 닫히도록 설치된 탄성부재(31,32,33)와 상기탄성부재(31,32,33)의 탄발력을 조절할 수 있는 잠금속도 조절기(34)를 구비한 하부밸브뭉치와 수로를 개폐하는 샤프트(21) 및 사용자가 조작하기 위해 설치된 핸들(40)로 이루어져 있다.As shown in the figure, the self-closing water saving device provided with the lock speed regulator of the present invention is connected to the main pipe supplied with hot water and cold water, the upper valve bundle 20 provided with a water channel 22, and the upper Coupled with the valve bundle 20 and can adjust the elastic force of the elastic member (31,32,33) and the elastic member (31,32,33) installed to close the waterway after a certain time by the elastic force inside It consists of a lower valve bundle having a lock speed adjuster 34, a shaft 21 for opening and closing the channel and a handle 40 installed for the user to operate.

본 출원인이 선출원한 특허출원제 2000-15914(2000.3.28)호에 기재된 바와 같이 물을 사용하기를 원하는 사용자가 핸들(40)을 상측(점선표시)으로 올리면 제1 핸들고정샤프트(41)를 중심으로 제2 핸들고정샤프트(42)에 의해 핸들(40)과 연결된 샤프트(21)가 아래로 당겨지면서 수로(22)를 개방하므로 급수가 되게 되고, 이후 제1, 제2, 제3 탄성부재(31,32,33)의 탄발력과 오일의 유동에 의해 일정시간이 지나면 샤프트(21)가 원래의 위치로 돌아가 수로를 막아 물의 공급이 중단된다.As described in patent application No. 2000-15914 (2000.3.28) filed by the applicant, when the user who wants to use water raises the handle 40 to the upper side (dotted line), the first handle fixing shaft 41 is opened. The shaft 21 connected to the handle 40 by the second handle fixing shaft 42 is pulled downward to open the waterway 22 so that water is supplied to the center, and then the first, second and third elastic members are opened. After a certain time due to the elasticity of the (31, 32, 33) and the flow of oil, the shaft 21 returns to its original position to block the waterway and stop the water supply.

이때 샤프트(21)와 연결된 핸들(40)도 제1 핸들고정샤프트(41)를 중심으로 회전하여 원래의 위치로 복귀되게 된다.At this time, the handle 40 connected to the shaft 21 also rotates about the first handle fixing shaft 41 to be returned to its original position.

물이 나오는 시간이 길어 빨리 단수하기를 원하는 경우에는 핸들(40)을 눌러 원래의 위치로 복귀시키면 핸들(40)과 연결된 샤프트(21)가 원래의 위치로 복귀하면서 수로를 막아 물의 공급이 중단되는데, 사용자가 일반적인 설정보다 짧거나 길게 물이 나오는 시간을 조절하기를 원하거나, 수압이 너무 높거나 낮아 원하는 시간 만큼 급수가 되지를 않을 때는 제3 탄성부재(33)의 하부에 구비된 잠금속도 조절기(34)를 조작하여 탄성부재(31,32,33)의 탄발력을 조절하여 급수시간을 조절할 수 있게 하였다.If the water comes out long and wants to cut off quickly, press the handle 40 to return to the original position. Then, the shaft 21 connected to the handle 40 returns to the original position, blocking the waterway and stopping the water supply. , When the user wants to adjust the time out of water shorter or longer than the general setting, or when the water pressure is too high or too low to supply water for the desired time, the locking speed adjuster provided in the lower portion of the third elastic member 33 Manipulating the (34) to adjust the elastic force of the elastic members (31, 32, 33) was able to adjust the water supply time.

잠금속도 조절기(34)는 제3 탄성부재(33)를 지지하면서 하부밸브뭉치 나사산(30a)과 결합되는 조절기 나사산(34a)에 의해 하부밸브뭉치(30)와 결합되어있다.The lock speed controller 34 is coupled to the lower valve bundle 30 by the adjuster thread 34a coupled to the lower valve bundle thread 30a while supporting the third elastic member 33.

잠금속도 조절기(34)를 조작하기를 원하는 사용자는 제1 핸들고정샤프트(41)를 풀어 핸들(40)을 분해한후 조절홈(34b)에 지그를 삽입하여 시계방향으로 돌리면 잠금속도 조절기(34)가 제3 탄성부재(33) 방향으로 올라가면서 탄성부재(31,32,33)의 탄발력을 강화 시켜 샤프트(21)가 빨리 수로를 폐쇄하게 되므로 급수시간이 짧고, 반시계방향으로 돌리면 잠금속도 조절기(34)가 하측으로 내려와 탄성부재(31,32,33)의 탄발력을 약화시켜 샤프트(21)가 느리게 수로를 폐쇄하게 되어 오랜시간 동안 급수가 되는 것이다.The user who wants to operate the lock speed adjuster 34 disassembles the handle 40 by releasing the first handle fixing shaft 41 and inserts a jig into the adjusting groove 34b and rotates it clockwise to lock the speed adjuster 34. ) Increases in the direction of the third elastic member 33 to strengthen the resilience of the elastic members (31, 32, 33), so that the shaft 21 closes the waterway quickly, so the water supply time is short, locks when turned counterclockwise The speed controller 34 descends to lower the elasticity of the elastic members 31, 32, and 33, and the shaft 21 slowly closes the channel so that water is supplied for a long time.

제1,제2,제3 탄성부재(31,32,33)는 서로 연결되어 있어 제3 탄성부재(33)의 하단에 설치된 잠금속도 조절기(34)의 조작이 전 탄성부재(31.32.33)에 영향이 미친다.The first, second, and third elastic members 31, 32, and 33 are connected to each other so that the operation of the lock speed adjuster 34 installed at the lower end of the third elastic member 33 is performed before the elastic member (31.32.33). Affects.

잠금속도 조절기(34)를 조작하여 탄성부재의 탄발력을 원하는 수준으로 조절후 핸들(40)을 삽입하고 제1 핸들고정샤프트를 고정한후 자폐식 절수기를 사용하면 되므로 용이하게 급수시간을 변경할 수 있다.After adjusting the elasticity of the elastic member to the desired level by operating the lock speed adjuster 34, the handle 40 is inserted and the first handle fixing shaft is fixed, and then the water supply time can be easily changed. .

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명발명하면 사용조건이나 수압 등의 주위환경에 따라 자폐식 절수장치의 물 토출시간을 적절하게 조절할 수 있어 수압차에 의해 물이 불필요하게 과다토출되는 것을 미연에 방지할 수 있는 효과를 지니고 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, the water discharging time of the autism-type water-saving device can be properly adjusted according to the use conditions or the ambient pressure, so that unnecessary water can be unnecessarily discharged due to the water pressure difference. Has the effect.

잠금속도 조절기를 구비한 자폐식 절수장치를 제공하여 사용의 편리성을 향상시키는 효과가 있다.It is effective to improve the convenience of use by providing a self-closing water saving device provided with a lock speed regulator.
