It is provided with a flow rate adjusting piece for moving the forward or backward to limit the amount of rotation of the valve body by the inclined surface selectively contacting the stopper when the handle is rotated.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are intended to describe in detail enough to be able to easily carry out the invention by one of ordinary skill in the art, This does not mean that the technical spirit and scope of the present invention is limited.

As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the faucet having a double outlet according to the present invention, the faucet body 10 is formed with a coupling hole 13 in communication with the inlet 11 and the outlet 12 in the vertical direction and ,

The first and second communication holes 21 and 22 selectively communicated with the inlet 11 are formed to maintain a predetermined interval, and the fluid flowing through the first communication hole 21 communicating with the inlet 11 is discharged ( A third communication hole 23 is formed between the first and second communication holes 21 and 22 so as to be discharged through 12, and a casing 20 rotatably coupled to the inside of the coupling hole 13;

The through hole 31 is integrally coupled to the casing 20 and communicated with the second communication hole 22 selectively communicating with the inlet 11 in the rotational direction, and the inlet side is the first communication hole 21. And a fluid passage 32 communicating with the outlet and the outlet side communicating with the third communication hole 23 is formed in the circumferential direction on the outer side, and the valve body 30 having the outlet 33 formed at the upper end thereof;

The first and second communication holes of the valve body 30 with respect to the inlet 11 of the faucet body 10 by rotating the valve body 30 with respect to the faucet body 10 when the valve body 30 is rotated. And a flow control means 40 for selectively communicating 21, 22.

At this time, the amount of rotation of the above-described handle 40a is limited within the set angle range and flows through the first and second communication holes 21 and 22 of the valve body 30 from the inlet 11 of the faucet body 10. Flow control means for adjusting the flow rate is 40,

The stopper 41 formed by maintaining a predetermined angle on the upper surface of the faucet body 10 and the guide hole 42 formed on the handle 40a are screwed to the coupling hole 13 of the faucet body 10. A moving rod 43 radially moved relative to the moving rod 43, and an inclined surface 44 fixedly rotatable at the end of the moving rod 43 and moving forward or backward along the moving rod to selectively contact the stopper 41 when the handle 40a is rotated. It is provided with a flow rate adjusting piece 45 for restricting the amount of rotation of the valve body 30 by adjusting the flow rate.

In the figure, reference numeral 34 is a clamper which is fastened to the screw rod 30a formed in the valve body 30 to prevent the valve body 30 from being separated from the faucet body 10, and 35 is a valve body 30. The upper cap to be coupled, 36 is a hose connection coupled to the outlet 33 of the valve body (30).

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings the operation of the faucet having a double outlet according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

a) when the tap water is discharged in the upward direction of the faucet body with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the movable rod 43 of the handle 40a mounted on the valve body 30 is rotated clockwise in the drawing, the inlet 11 formed in the aforementioned faucet body 10 is shown. The second communication hole 22 of the casing 20 and the through hole 31 of the valve body 30 coincide with each other.

Thus, the tap water discharged from the faucet body 10 at a predetermined pressure passes through the inlet 11 of the faucet body 10 and the through-hole 31 of the valve body 30 in sequence to form the center of the valve body 30. After flowing in, it is discharged upward through the hose connection portion 36 of the upper cap 35 formed on the valve body 30 top.

Therefore, when using the tap water discharged in the upward direction of the faucet body that is installed outdoors, such as a park, a separate component such as an adapter is unnecessary, thereby reducing the cost and providing convenience to the user.

b) The tap water is discharged downward through the existing fluid passage of the faucet body with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the moving rod 43 of the handle 40a mounted on the valve body 30 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing, the inlet formed in the faucet body 10 described above ( 11) the first communication hole 21 formed in the casing 20 is in communication with each other.

As a result, the tap water discharged from the faucet body 10 at a predetermined pressure is discharged from the inlet 11 of the faucet body 10, the first communication hole 21 formed in the casing 20, and the valve body 30. After passing through the fluid passage 32 formed in the circumferential direction on the side and the third communication hole 23 formed in the casing 20 in order, the discharge passage 12 passes through the outlet 12 of the faucet body 10. .

c) The process of water saving using the flow rate adjusting piece of the handle will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 6, the movable rod 43 is rotated by rotating the movable rod 43 screwed to the handle 40a mounted to the outside of the valve body 30 in the forward direction (meaning the clockwise direction). Along the guide hole 42 of the handle (40a) is moved forward toward the coupling hole 13 of the faucet body (10). Thus, the inclined surface 44 of the flow rate adjusting piece 45 rotatably fixed to the moving rod 43 comes into contact with the stopper 41 formed on the upper surface of the valve body 30.

For this reason, when rotating the handle 40a in the left or right direction, it interferes with the rotation of the handle 40a by the inclined surface 44 of the flow adjusting piece 45 in contact with the stopper 41 described above. To control the angle at which the first and second communication holes 21 and 22 of the casing 20 communicate with the inlet 11 of the faucet body 10.

Therefore, the first and second communication holes 21 of the casing 20 selectively communicated with the inlet port 11 of the faucet body 10 by limiting the amount of rotation of the handle 40a described above within the set angle range. The amount of passing through the second and third communication holes (22, 23) of the casing (20) can be adjusted according to the adjustment of the communicating angle of 22) by using a faucet installed in a public place such as subway station or park. We can save water.

On the other hand, as the above-described moving rod 43 is rotated in the reverse direction (meaning counterclockwise), the moving rod 43 is a coupling hole of the faucet body 10 along the guide hole 42 of the handle 40a. Since it moves backward from 13 to the outside, the inclined surface 44 of the flow regulating piece 45 is far from the stopper 41.

For this reason, when the handle 40a is rotated in the left or right direction, the interference of the inclined surface 44 of the flow rate adjusting piece 45 with respect to the stopper 41 described above is released, so that the inlet port of the faucet body 10 is released. The amount of discharged can be increased by increasing the angle of communication of the first and second communication holes 21 and 22 of the casing 20 which is selectively communicated with (11) as much as possible.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7, the faucet having a double outlet according to the present invention can be used as a hot water / cold water combined faucet, of course.

A part of the outlet side of the hot water pipe (A) and the cold water pipe (B) embedded in the wall surface communicates with the first and second communication holes (21, 22) of the casing (20) described above to use the handle (40a). When the valve body 30 is rotated in the left or right direction, the first and second communicating holes 21 of the casing 20 are supplied with hot water and cold water supplied through the hot water pipe A and the cold water pipe B. And 22) at the same time can be mixed to be used as a hot / cold water faucet.

As schematically illustrated in FIG. 7A, when the hot / cold water is to be discharged upward of the faucet, the valve body 30 is rotated clockwise in the drawing by using the aforementioned handle 40a. By rotating the hot water pipe (A) and the cold water pipe (B) to the outlet of each of the second communication hole 22 of the casing 20 to communicate with each other.

For this reason, the hot water / cold water discharged through the hot water pipe A and the cold water pipe B, respectively, passes through the second communication hole 22 of the casing 20 and the through hole 31 of the valve body 30. After flowing into the valve body 30 and mixed with each other, the hot / cold water mixed in the upward direction of the faucet is discharged.

As shown schematically in FIG. 7 (b), when the hot / cold water is to be discharged downward of the faucet, the valve body 30 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing by using the handle 40a described above. It rotates so that a part of the 1st communication hole 21 of the casing 20 may communicate with each exit of the above-mentioned hot water pipe A and cold water pipe B, respectively.

Therefore, the hot water / cold water discharged through the hot water pipe A and the cold water pipe B respectively flows into the first communication hole 22 of the casing 20, and then the fluid passage of the valve body 30. At 32, hot / cold water mixed with the outlet 12 of the faucet body 10 through the third communication hole 23 of the casing 20 is discharged.

As described above, the faucet having a double outlet according to the present invention has the following advantages.

The faucet outlet formed of a plurality of places is selectively opened according to the operation direction of the handle to provide convenience to the user since a separate adapter, clamp, etc. are unnecessary when arbitrarily changing the discharge direction of the tap water.

By adjusting the outlet opening angle easily according to the amount of rotation of the handle, the amount of discharge can be arbitrarily adjusted to prevent waste of tap water through a faucet installed in a public place such as subway station.
