Description

Water dividing device

The present invention relates to a water distribution device.

More specifically, it is connected to the faucet, and the water supplied from the faucet is distributed and supplied to at least two or more branch pipes, and water distribution that allows the user to selectively use water by using a button provided in each branch pipe It's about the device.

In addition, the present invention consists of a casing, an operation part, and a flow path opening and closing part that opens and closes a flow path through which water flows. is about

In general, a faucet (faucet, etc.) is a device that is connected to the end of a pipe to which water is supplied and is installed on the wall or directly above the bathtub and washbasin to supply and block cold and hot water by the user's operation.

Such a faucet is used for various purposes such as washing face, showering, washing, cleaning, etc., and has recently developed into a form having various functions from a conventional simple structure.

For example, in the conventional faucet (faucet), the packing is connected to the lower part of the handle that moves along the thread, and when the user rotates the handle, the packing goes up and down and blocks or opens the flow path. Several types have been developed, such as a ball type, a disc type in which two disks are installed, and a cartridge type in which two porous cartridges are inserted. .

There is also a faucet in which two or more water outlets are provided in one body.

The domestic public utility model No. 20-2012-4030 is equipped with a plurality of spouts in a faucet. The faucet includes: a housing; an inlet pipe extending vertically downward from the bottom of one side of the housing to introduce water into the housing; at least one water jetting part formed in the housing to discharge the water introduced from the inlet pipe; A plurality of first and second valves respectively inserted and fastened to the first and second valve holes formed on one side and the other side of the housing and the first and second valve holes to guide water to one of the one or more water jetting parts Consisting of a sieve, the water jetting part includes: a first water jetting hole extending vertically upwardly on an upper surface of one side of the housing; a second jetting hole extending vertically downward from the center of the bottom surface of the housing; It is a faucet having a multi-directional jetting structure, characterized in that it is composed of a third jetting hole formed on one side of the front side of the bottom of the housing.

However, such a faucet (faucet) is difficult to process in a form in which two or more water outlets are cast, and since a valve is installed inside each spout, assembly work is complicated, and it is difficult for a user to control water quickly.

As another example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1702408 is a multi-faucet-only water discharge path adjustment device that has multiple discharge paths in one body, and enables a user to use and block water by operating a switch.

However, this device has a disadvantage in that the structure is complicated.

In detail, one inlet space through which water supplied through a water supply pipe can be filled by dividing the internal space of the device body, and each outlet path in which the flow of water introduced into the inlet space leads to the water outlet means A plurality of distribution spaces to be dispersed inflow are separately provided, but a transverse diaphragm is installed in the inner space horizontally, and a longitudinal diaphragm is installed again, and it has a complex structure such as penetrating the first and second assembly holes. Other than that, there are problems that are difficult to manufacture.

In addition, such a device has several problems, such as remarkably poor assembly, impossible to mass-produce, and accordingly, an increase in manufacturing cost, and a structure in which water leakage is easy to occur due to water pressure.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a fitting pipe in which a flow path opening and closing part for controlling the flow of water is assembled to each branch pipe branched from the main pipe by fitting, so that it is easy to manufacture and assemble. The purpose of this invention is to provide a water distribution device in which a button operated by a user is provided in the opening and closing part of the flow path so that the user can conveniently use the button by selectively pressing the button.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a water distribution device that does not leak, withstands water pressure, and can be used for a long period of time by controlling the flow path provided inside the flow path opening and closing part with a diaphragm.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a water distribution device that is easy to install in a bathroom, etc., and is easy to repair because it can be assembled and disassembled.

The present invention provides a water distribution device for distributing and supplying water supplied from a faucet, comprising: a main conduit connected to the faucet and provided with a water channel therein to allow water to flow in; a branch pipe branched in the vertical direction from the water channel; Fitting pipe expanded from the end of the branch pipe; It is achieved by having a technical feature consisting of; a flow passage opening and closing part that is assembled to fit the fitting pipe, opens or closes the flow path provided therein, and has a button to block or flow the supplied water.

In addition, the flow path opening and closing portion of the present invention is provided with a casing assembled to the fitting pipe by interference fit, and a water supply portion communicating with the branch pipe is provided on the upper surface of the casing, along the inner flow path of the guide pipe installed on the wall of the casing The water flows, but a discharge hole penetrating the wall is formed at the end of the guide pipe, wherein the flow path opening and closing part is provided with a diaphragm for blocking or opening the flow path of the guide pipe installed therein, the diaphragm is a push It has a feature that includes moving forward and backward in connection with the button.

The present invention distributes and supplies water to a branch pipe branched from the main pipe line connected to the faucet, and by providing a fitting pipe in which the flow path opening and closing part is fitted to the lower part of the branch pipe, assembly is easy, manufacturing is convenient, and the above A diaphragm is provided in the flow path opening/closing part to open or close the flow path, so that it operates stably even under internal and water pressure and can be used for a long time.
