First, referring to FIG. 3, the cartridge valve 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is used in the faucet body 210 (see FIG. 6), and is employed in the faucet body 210 and supplies water to an outer circumferential side thereof. A valve housing (130) having at least one water supply inlet hole (135) formed thereon so as to be introduced therein, and a rotating shaft member (140) inserted into and rotatably inserted at a predetermined angle in an upper central portion of the valve housing (130); The first plate 110 is inserted into the valve housing 130, and the second plate 120 positioned below the first plate 110.

Here, the first plate 110 may be inserted into the valve housing 130 and positioned below the rotary shaft member 140 to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary shaft member 140. The second plate 120 may be positioned below the first plate 110 and may be fixedly connected to the valve housing 130.

Specifically, the structures of the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the first plate 110 has at least one feed water conversion groove 115 on one surface thereof so that water supplied through the feed water inlet hole 135 of the valve housing 130 flows. Can be formed.

At this time, the first plate 110 is located in the lower portion of the rotary shaft member 140 can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary shaft member 140, thereby entering the water supply inlet hole 135 The supplied water may be converted and flow by the first plate 110 rotating according to the rotation of the rotating shaft member 140.

As shown in FIG. 5, the second plate 120 is positioned below the first plate 110 and communicates with the water supply switching groove 115 of the first plate 110 on the upper surface thereof. It is preferable that a plurality of water supply outlet holes 125a and 125b are formed to be switched. Here, the operation of the first and second plates 110 and 120 will be described later.

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a faucet with a cartridge valve according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 3, Figure 7a to Figure 7c shows the operation of the first and second plate in the tap shown in Figure 6 The drawings. And, Figure 8 is a front view showing the appearance of the faucet shown in Figure 6, Figure 9 is a view showing another embodiment of the water supply handle installation position in the faucet shown in FIG.

First, referring to Figure 6, the faucet 200 having a cartridge valve according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water supply port 241 is formed so that water can be supplied through the water supply pipe 1, this water supply port First and second discharge ports 242 and 243 through which the water supplied to the water is discharged are formed, and a faucet body having a cartridge accommodating part 250 therein for accommodating the cartridge valve 100 is formed therein. 210, the cartridge valve 100 shown in FIG. 4 accommodated in the cartridge receiving portion 250, and the rotary shaft member 140 of the cartridge valve 100 is combined with the water supply to rotate in accordance with the user's operation Handle 220.

Looking at the water supply flow of the faucet 200 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention of the above structure, the water flowing through the water supply pipe 1 installed on the inner wall of the building is introduced into the water supply port 241 of the faucet 200 Water is selectively discharged to the first and second discharge ports 242 and 243 separated by the feedwater conversion wall 230. This is because when the user rotates the rotary shaft member 140 of the cartridge valve 100 in conjunction with the operation of the water supply handle 220, accordingly, the water supply switching of the first plate 110 included in the cartridge valve 100 This is because the water supply is switched by the plurality of water supply outlet holes 125a and 125b of the groove 115 and the second plate 120 to flow to the first and second discharge ports 242 and 243, respectively.

Looking at the operation principle that the water supply is switched by the first and second plates 110, 120 of the cartridge valve 100 of the faucet 200 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, first, Figure 7a is a user The handle 220 is operated to bring the water supply switching groove 115 to a predetermined angle so that the water supply flows to the first discharge port 242 by communicating with the water supply outlet hole 125a. As shown in the drawing, when the water supply handle 220 is rotated in a predetermined direction, the rotation shaft member 140 also rotates in association with each other. As a result, the first plate 110 also rotates in a predetermined direction so that the second plate 120 may be rotated. The water supply outlet hole 125a is closed to block the flow of the water supply. Here, when the user operates the water supply handle 220 again and rotates at a predetermined angle as shown in FIG. 7C, the water supply outlet hole 125b and the water supply change over again. Groove 115 communicates with water It is possible to control the flow to the second outlet (243).

Here, the switching of the water supply to the first and the first discharge port 242, 243 according to the water supply conversion groove 115 of the first plate 110 may be changed depending on the structure of the faucet 200, of course. to be.

The appearance of the faucet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention of the above structure is shown in FIG. Referring to the drawings, the faucet 200 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is fixedly installed on one side of the wall, the upper is provided with a water supply handle 220 that can be operated by the user, the lower portion of the first discharge port ( 242 and a second discharge port 243 are formed, respectively. On the other hand, Figure 9 is a view showing another embodiment in which the water supply handle installation position is changed in the faucet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, another embodiment in which the water supply handle 320 of the faucet 300 is installed on the side or front The figure is shown.

Cartridge valve 100 and the faucet 200, 300 having the same according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention of the structure as described above, the water supply inlet hole 135 of the cartridge valve 100 is the valve housing 130 Because it is formed on the outer circumferential side of the water supply, the water supply flows into the cartridge valve 100 can be simplified to prevent the deposition of impurities in the faucets 200 and 300, thereby reducing the channel resistance, the cartridge Since the structure is simplified to make the valve 100 easy to manufacture, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and economical.

As described above, the cartridge valve of the present invention and the faucet having the same provide the following effects.

First, it is possible to simplify the channel in the cartridge valve to prevent the deposition of impurities and to reduce the channel resistance.

Second, because the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture and accordingly economical to reduce the manufacturing cost.
