In addition, the flow path control valve 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is connected to the rotary shaft 110 to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary shaft 110, so that the water flowing inside the rotary shaft 110 is discharged It includes a rotating unit 120 is provided.

And, the flow path control valve 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is connected to the rotating unit 120, at least one of the plurality of water discharge passage 300 is selected to discharge the water discharged from the rotating unit 120 It includes a fixing unit 130 provided to be withdrawn through the flow path (300).

In addition, the flow path control valve 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention accommodates the rotary shaft 110, the rotary part 120 and the fixed part 130, the housing (connected to the inlet flow path 200) 140).

Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

Referring to Figure 3 (b), the rotating shaft 110 is provided so that the water flowing in the inflow passage 200 flows through the interior.

Here, the rotation shaft 110 may be a flow rate distribution opening 112 is formed on one side, the outlet opening 114 may be formed on the other side.

That is, the water flowing in the inflow passage 200 flows into the rotary shaft 110 through the flow distribution opening 112, and the water flowing in the rotary shaft 110 flows through the outlet opening 114. 110) outflow.

Here, the flow rate distribution opening 112, as shown in Figure 2 or 3 (a), the hole size of one side and the other side can be formed differently to adjust the flow rate of the water flowing in the inlet flow path 200. .

2 or 3 (a), the flow rate distribution opening 112 is illustrated in a triangular shape, but is not limited thereto, and may include various shapes having different hole sizes on one side and the other side.

That is, circles, ellipses, or polygons having different sizes of one side and the other side may be arranged, or the hypotenuse among triangles may be provided in a curved shape rather than a straight line.

In addition, the flow rate distribution opening 112 may include a shape in which the hole size gradually increases from one side to the other side as in the triangular shape of FIG. 2. The above shape is for easier adjustment of the flow rate.

On the other hand, Figure 5 shows the process of adjusting the flow rate of water through the flow rate distribution opening 112.

Referring to the above process, since the rotary shaft 110 is connected to a drive unit such as a motor 160 so as to be rotatable, when the rotary shaft 110 rotates, the flow distribution opening 112 formed on the rotary shaft 110 is rotated. It will also rotate.

Here, when the portion of the body of the rotary shaft 110 is not formed the flow rate distribution opening 112 is in contact with the opening 220 formed in the inlet flow path 200, the water flowing through the inlet flow path 200 is the rotary shaft Blocked in the body of 110 will not be able to flow.

However, as the rotary shaft 110 rotates, the flow rate distribution opening 112 also rotates, so that the flow rate distribution opening 112 is able to communicate with the opening 220 formed in the inflow passage 200. Water flowing through the flow path 200 may be introduced into the rotating shaft 110 through the communicating portion (see FIG. 1).

Here, the flow rate distribution opening 112 is different from the size of the hole on one side and the other side, the opening formed in the flow rate distribution opening 112 and the inlet flow path 200 according to the degree of rotation of the flow distribution distribution opening 112 ( The size of the communicating part of the 220 is also changed, it is possible to adjust the flow rate of the water flowing into the rotary shaft 110 through the communicating parts of different sizes.

That is, in FIG. 5 (a), since a portion (hatched in FIG. 5) communicating by the rotation of the flow distribution opening 112 is relatively small, a relatively small amount of water flows into the rotating shaft 110. do.

However, as it proceeds to FIG. 5 (c) through FIG. 5 (b), the communicating portion becomes larger and larger, the amount of water flowing into the rotating shaft 110 increases, and the flow rate distribution opening 112 and the inflow passage 200 are provided.

Water flowing into the buffer unit 150 through the inflow passage 200 is to stand by in the space formed between the buffer unit 150 and the housing 140.

That is, as shown in Figure 4 (a) or 4 (b), when the buffer unit 150 is connected to the rotary shaft 110, the flow distribution opening 112 formed in the rotary shaft 110 and obtained The opening 220 formed in the flow path 200 does not directly communicate with each other, and the flow rate distribution opening 112 communicates with the through opening 152 formed in the buffer unit 150 to obtain a flow rate that is received through the rotation shaft 110. It can be arranged to adjust.

Since the process of adjusting the flow rate through the through opening 152 formed in the buffer unit 150 is common to the process of adjusting the flow rate through the opening 220 formed in the inlet flow passage 200 (see FIG. 5), The description will be omitted.

Here, a plurality of through openings 152 may be formed in the buffer unit 150, and the number of the through openings 152 may be provided to correspond to the number of the water discharge passages 300. Detailed description of this part will be described later.

The rotating shaft 110 is rotatable by various driving units. For example, the motor 160 may be connected to an upper portion of the rotating shaft 110 to rotate the rotating shaft 110. Here, the rotating part 120 may be connected to the rotating shaft 110.

2 or 3 (a), the rotating part 120 is connected to the rotating shaft 110 to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating shaft 110 is provided to discharge the water flowing inside the rotating shaft 110. .

Here, a discharge opening 122 may be formed in the rotating part 120 so that water flowing out from the rotating shaft 110 may be discharged.

That is, the water flowing into the rotary shaft 110 through the flow distribution opening 112 formed on one side of the rotary shaft 110 flows out through the outlet opening 114 formed on the other side of the rotary shaft 110 and then the rotating unit Through the discharge opening 122 formed in the (120) it is possible to discharge to the water discharge passage 300 side via the fixing portion 130.

On the other hand, the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 is able to communicate with the flow path distribution opening 132 formed in the fixed portion 130 through the rotation, whereby at least one of the plurality of discharge passage 300 It may be arranged to be selected. Detailed operation of this part will be described later.

Referring to FIG. 2, the fixing unit 130 is connected to the rotating unit 120, and at least one of the plurality of water outlet passages 300 is selected so that water discharged from the rotor unit 120 is discharged through the outlet passage 300. Prepared to exit.

Here, a flow path distribution opening 132 may be formed in the fixing part 130, and a plurality of water discharge passages are formed by communicating with the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 when the rotating part 120 rotates. At least one of 300 may be selected.

As shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of flow path distribution openings 132 may be formed in the fixing part 130. Here, the plurality of flow path distribution openings 132 may be provided in a number corresponding to the water discharge passage 300.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the plurality of flow path distribution openings 132 may be disposed at a portion of a radial circumference having different diameters provided in the fixing part 130.

That is, the flow path distribution opening 132 formed in the circumferential direction may be disposed at the circumference 400a of the first radial shape and the circumference 400b of the second radiation shape.

Here, the shape of the flow path distribution opening 132 does not necessarily need to be a curve, but may be formed in various shapes such as a circle, a straight line, or an uneven shape, which may be disposed at a portion of the radial circumference.

In addition, the plurality of flow path distribution openings 132 disposed at a portion of the radial circumference may have different lengths.

As a result, water discharged through the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 may be discharged through one or more water discharge passages 300 in a specific section.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the flow path distribution opening 132 formed at a portion of a radial circumference having a different diameter may be provided in a space formed inside a virtual straight line 420 drawn outward from the center point 410. have.

Here, a plurality of flow path distribution openings 132 may be disposed in a space formed inside the virtual straight line 420.

In the space formed inside the virtual straight line 420, one flow path distribution opening 132 is formed in one space (c space or f space), and two spaces in the other space (b space or e space). The flow path distribution openings 132 may be formed.

That is, the flow path distribution openings 132 may be formed in the b space and the e space formed inside the virtual straight line 420 in the periphery 400a of the first radial shape and the periphery 400b of the second radiation shape, respectively (FIG. 6).

In addition, one channel distribution opening 132 may be formed only in the circumference 400a of the first radial shape in the c space and the f space formed inside the virtual straight line 420 (see FIG. 6).

In addition, one channel distribution opening 132 may be formed only in the circumference 400b of the second radial shape in the d space formed inside the virtual straight line 420, and the shape of the channel distribution opening 132 may be circular. (See FIG. 6). However, the shape is not limited to the circular shape.

On the other hand, the flow path distribution opening 132 may not be formed as in the a space formed inside the virtual straight line 420 (see Fig. 6).

However, this is only one example, and it is apparent that the flow path distribution openings 132 having various shapes and numbers may be disposed at various positions in the space formed inside the virtual straight line 420.

Here, a process in which the discharge opening 122 and the flow path distribution opening 132 communicate with each other by the rotation of the rotating unit 120 selects at least one of the plurality of water discharge passages 300.

As shown in Fig. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the rotating part 120 abuts the fixing part 130 in a space (see Fig. 6) of the fixing part 130, the height Since the a space of the fixing part 130 is blocked, water cannot be discharged through the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the rotation part 120 rotates so that the flow path distribution openings are formed at the periphery 400a of the first radial shape and the periphery 400b of the second radial shape, respectively. 132 is formed in contact with the fixing part 130 in the b space or e space (see Fig. 6) of the fixed portion 130, the discharge opening 122 and the two flow path distribution opening 132 is Water penetrates through each of the discharge openings 122 and flows through the two channel distribution openings 132.

In addition, since the water discharge passage 300 is connected to each of the flow path distribution openings 132, the water discharged through the discharge opening 122 in the b space or the e space of the fixing portion 130 is two water discharge passages ( 300 can be withdrawn respectively.

9 (a) and 9 (b), the fixing part (1) having one flow path distribution opening 132 formed only at the periphery 400a of the first radial shape by rotating the rotary part 120 ( When contacted with the fixing part 130 in the c space or f space (see Fig. 6) of 130, the discharge opening 122 and the flow path distribution opening 132 is penetrated, and the discharge opening 122 Water discharged through the flow through one of the flow path distribution opening 132, it is possible to be discharged through the one discharge channel 300 connected to the flow path distribution opening (132).

In addition, the fixing part 130 is rotated in the d space (see FIG. 6) of the fixing part 130 in which one flow path distribution opening 132 is formed only on the circumference 400b of the second radial shape. When in contact with the discharge opening 122 and the flow path distribution opening 132 is penetrated, the water discharged through the discharge opening 122 flows through one of the flow path distribution opening 132, the flow path It is possible to withdraw water through one of the water discharge passage 300 connected to the distribution opening 132.

Here, water is discharged through each of the water discharge passages 300 connected to the two flow path distribution openings 132, the water flowing through one water discharge passage 300 to the water flowing in the water flowing through the other water discharge passage (300) In addition, it can be provided to enable the adjustment of the injection angle of the water ejected from the other discharge passage 300.

On the other hand, as described above, since the rotating unit 120 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the rotary shaft 110, it is possible to adjust the flow path.

As a result, the water obtained through the inflow passage 200 is controlled by both the flow rate and the flow path by rotating the one rotation shaft 110 through one motor 160.

On the other hand, as described above, the number of the through-openings 152 formed in the buffer unit 150 may be provided to correspond to the number of the water discharge passage (300).

For example, five water outlet passages 300 are formed in FIG. 6, and in this case, five through openings 152 may also be provided (see FIG. 4B).

In addition, assuming that a space corresponding to FIG. 6 is formed in FIG. 4 (b), the through opening 152 is not formed in the buffer unit 150 because water is not discharged from the space a.

In addition, in the space b of FIG. 4 (b), the flow rate is controlled through the first through-opening opening 152a, and the water flowing through the first through-opening opening 152a is divided into two discharge channels 300 formed in the b space. It can be spilled through.

In the same manner as described above, the flow rate is controlled through the second through opening 152b to the fifth through the opening 152e in the c space to the f space.

That is, when the rotation shaft 110 is rotated in a space to f space, the flow path is controlled by the communication between the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 and the flow path distribution opening 132 formed in the fixing part 130. This becomes possible.

In addition, in each of the spaces, it is possible to adjust the flow rate through each of the through openings 152 corresponding to each of the plurality of through openings 152 formed.

Therefore, when the one rotating shaft 110 is rotated, it is possible to adjust both the flow rate and the flow path.

As a result, since one drive unit and the rotating shaft 110 can be used, the volume occupied in the space is reduced, the arrangement structure is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced, thereby improving productivity.

On the other hand, in the case of the bidet 500 having the flow path control valve 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 10, a nozzle in a plurality of water discharge passages 300 provided in the flow path control valve 100 It may be arranged to be connected.

Here, the plurality of nozzles may be provided to include at least two of the bidet nozzle 510, the cleaning nozzle 520, or the cleaning nozzle 530.

On the other hand, as described above, when the rotating part 120 abuts the fixing part 130 in the b space or e space (see Fig. 6) of the fixing part 130, the two flow path distribution opening ( Water is withdrawn through each of the water extraction passages 300 connected to the 132.

Then, the water flowing through one water outlet passage 300 is applied to the water flowing through the other water outlet passage 300 to adjust the injection angle of the water ejected from the other water outlet passage 300.

Here, when the operation process is applied to the bidet 500 having the flow path control valve 100, the one withdrawal passage 300 corresponds to the wide passage of the bidet 500, the other withdrawal passage 300 ) Corresponds to the linear flow path of the bidet 500, and the injection angle can be adjusted by applying water pressure to the water flowing in the straight flow path of the bidet 500, whereby the wide spray function of the bidet 500 Will be available.

For example, in FIG. 6, the b space may be used as a bidet wide jet 512 function for local washing since water is discharged through two water outlet passages 300, and the c space is one outlet passage 300. Since water is withdrawn, it can be used as a bidet straight jet 514 function.

In addition, in FIG. 6, the d space is water discharged through one discharge channel 300, and may be used as a nozzle cleaning spray 532 function.

In addition, in FIG. 6, the e-space may be used as the water is discharged through the two water extraction passages 300, and thus, may be used as a washing wide spray 522 function for anal washing. Since it is extracted, it can be used as a cleaning straight line injection 524 function.

In addition, when the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 abuts on the fixing part 130 in the space b of FIG. 4 (b), the bidet wide jet 512 function is selected. The flow rate can be adjusted through the one through opening 152a.

Then, when the discharge opening 122 formed in the rotating part 120 abuts on the fixing part 130 in the space c of Figure 4, the bidet linear injection 514 function is selected, where the second opening opening Through 152b, the flow rate can be adjusted.

In the same manner as described above, it is possible to control not only the flow path of each bidet 500 but also the flow rate.

However, this is only one example, it is possible to set a variety of functions according to different combinations.

Referring to FIG. 1, the housing 140 accommodates the rotation shaft 110, the rotation unit 120, and the fixing unit 130, and is provided to be connected to the inflow passage 200.
