Hereinafter, a channel distributor according to the present invention and a shower device using the same will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the channel distributor according to the present invention distributes the channel in several paths and moves the water only to a selected path among the distributed paths, thereby serving to discharge water to any one or a combination of a plurality of outlets.

To this end, the channel distributor 100 according to the present invention, as shown in Fig. 2, a plurality of inlets 110 through which water (W) is introduced, a plurality of outlets 130 through which water (W) is discharged, and various paths thereof. And a check valve 150 mounted at one or more points of the multiple forked channels according to the flow direction of the interleaved multiple channels and the predesigned water W.

At this time, the channel distributor 100 according to the present invention preferably forms a plurality of forked channels by puncturing the inside of the full-block block 101, and at this time, a plurality of ends of the channel exposed to the outside of the block 101 are formed. It is an inlet 110 and a plurality of outlets (130).

However, the channel distributor 100 according to the present invention is not limited to the illustrated form, and it may be possible to omit the block 101 so that the forked channel is a pipe made of synthetic resin or metal.

The check valve 150 is to control the flow so that the water proceeds in only one direction, preferably the first and second check valve channels 150a, 150b and both ends penetrate the inside in a line as shown in FIG. A check valve housing connected to the first and second check valve channels 150a and 150b and including a driving space 150c extending a predetermined length with a cross-sectional area wider than that of the first and second check valve channels 150a and 150b. 150d, the movable tool 150e which can move along the longitudinal direction in the drive space 150c is included.

At this time, one side of the driving space 150c connected to the first check valve channel 150a moves to the opening / closing end 150f that contacts the movable port 150e and blocks the first check valve channel 150a. It is preferable to protrude toward the sphere 150e, and a packing 150g may be added to the movable sphere 150e for a closer contact.

On the other hand, the other side surface of the drive space 150c connected to the second check valve channel 150b is always spaced apart from the moving hole 150e so as not to block the second check valve channel 150b. To this end, a communication path (not shown) is perforated at the end of the moving hole 150e facing the second check valve channel 150b so that the communication path (even when the moving hole 150e and the driving space 150c abut).

In addition, between the movable tool 150e and the other side surface of the driving space 150c may further include an elastic means 150h for pushing the movable tool 150e toward the open / close end 150f. Therefore, as described later, the movable port 150e is more effectively in close contact with the opening / closing end 150f in addition to the water pressure of the water to proceed from the driving space 150c toward the first check valve channel 150a.

At this time, the elastic means (150h) should be exerted an elastic force only enough to push the moving port (150e) by the water pressure as described later.

The water (W) introduced into the first check valve channel 150a of the check valve 150 pushes the movable port 150e apart from the open / close end 150f by hydraulic pressure and passes through the gap to drive the space. Proceeds to 150 b of second check valve channels 150b through 150c.

On the contrary, the water (W) introduced into the second check valve channel 150b is the elastic force or the water pressure (the water flowing in the direction of the second check valve channel 150b from the first check valve channel 150a mentioned above). It is the water pressure in the direction opposite to the water pressure.

Therefore, when the check valve 150 is used, the water W proceeds only in one direction, that is, the direction from the first check valve channel 150a to the second check valve channel 150b.

The channel distributor 100 according to the present invention including the plurality of inlets 110, the plurality of outlets 130, and one or more check valves 150 may change the arrangement and configuration of these channels to change the channels in various ways.
