At least one branch hole (115) may be formed through one side of the spiral tube (130). For example, the branch hole 115 may have a shape such as a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, and a polygon.

The flange 111 may extend radially sideways from the top of the insertion tube 110 to form the rim of the body portion 100 and may have a shape that surrounds the drain hole 112. The flange 111 allows the main body 100 inserted in the drain hole to be mounted on the washstand 10.

The main body 100 may further include a drainage control board 150. The drainage regulating plate 150 may be installed in a lower region of the drain hole 112 adjacent to the branch hole 115 of the main body 100, that is, below the spiral tube 130.

The drainage regulating plate 150 may have a regulating plate 151 and a through-hole 152.

The adjustment plate 151 covers the lower portion of the drain hole 112 and can support the rotary side 250 of the drain valve 200 to be described later. The through hole 152 may be at least one hole formed through the adjustment plate 151 and communicating with the drain hole 112. In this embodiment, the through holes 152 have a fan shape and can be formed as a pair so as to face each other. The shape and number of the adjusting plate 151 and the through hole 152 are merely examples, and variations and modifications will be possible.

Herein, any one of the control board 151 may be disposed at a position adjacent to the branch hole 115 and blocking the lower region of the drain hole 112.

The drainage regulating plate 150, more specifically, the regulating plate 151 may support the rotary side 250 of the drainage valve 200 as shown in FIGS. The rotation side 250 of the drain valve 200 can be rotated while being closely attached to the drainage control plate 150. The through holes 152 of the drainage control plate 150 are opened or closed depending on the position of the rotation side 250 .

The drain valve 200 is inserted into the drain hole 112 of the main body 100 and the water discharged from the drainage receptacle 20 of the sink 10 is stored in the sink 10 while blocking or opening the drainage hole 112, . The drain valve 200 may be configured to open and close the drain hole 112 through a separate opening and closing device installed in the sink 10, but in this embodiment, the drain valve 200 is configured to be opened and closed .

In addition, the drain valve 200 may selectively open and close the lower portion of the drain hole 112 and the branch hole 115 of the main body 100 described above in a rotating manner. That is, the drain valve 200 is rotatably inserted into the drain hole 112 of the main body 100, and the drain valve 200 is opened or closed while the drain holes 152 of the drainage control plate 150 are opened or closed. It is possible to selectively open /

More specifically, the drain valve 200 may include a stop 210, a support shaft 230, a variable shaft 240, and a rotary valve 250.

The stopper 210 may be inserted into the flange 111 of the main body 100 to cover the drain hole 112. For example, the stopper 210 may have a circular cross section along the shape of the drain hole 112. In the upper region of the stopper 210, a handle (not shown) in the form of a folding iron can be further mounted to facilitate rotation of the stopper 210. A sealing ring 220 such as an O-ring may be further provided in the lower region of the stopper 210 to seal the drain hole 112.

The support shaft 230 supports the lower portion of the stopper 210 and may be positioned inside the insertion tube 110 of the main body 100. For example, the support shaft 230 may be in the form of a pipe supporting the central region of the stopper 210.

The variable shaft 240 is coupled to the support shaft 230 at a lower portion of the support shaft 230 by a spring (not shown). When the stopper 210 is pushed, the stopper 210 is engaged with the flange 111 So that the drain hole 112 can be opened and closed. For example, the variable shaft 240 is smaller or larger in cross-sectional area than the support shaft 230, and when the spring 210 is pressed by the spring, the variable shaft 240 is further superimposed on the support shaft 230 to lower the stopper 210, And lift the cap 210 supported on the support shaft 230 as it is being lifted. Although not shown, a component for pressing and releasing the drain valve 200 such as a hook member capable of temporarily fixing its position when compressed and tensioned by a spring is interposed between the variable shaft 240 and the support shaft 230 May be further included.

The rotation shaft 250 is coupled to the variable shaft 240 and is mounted on the drainage control plate 150 of the main body 100. Thus, when the stopper 210 is pushed, the variable shaft 240 rotates on the support shaft 230 It can be overlaid or unfolded.

The rotation side 250 can rotate selectively with the stopper 210 to selectively open and close the branch hole 115 and the drain hole 112 of the main body 100. The rotation side 250 includes a rotary body 251 coupled to the variable shaft 240 and rotatable in close contact with the drainage control plate 150 and a shape corresponding to the through holes 152 of the drainage control plate 150 And a cutout groove 252 formed in the rotary body 251.

In the present embodiment, the cutout grooves 252 may be formed so that a pair of the cutouts 252 face each other at the rotation sides 250 so as to have a sector shape corresponding to the through holes 152. When the cutout grooves 252 of the rotation side 250 and the through holes 152 of the drainage control plate 150 are overlapped, the lower part of the drain hole 122 is opened and the rotary body 251 of the rotation side 250 is opened, Is placed on the through hole 152 of the drainage regulating plate 150, the lower portion of the drainage hole 112 is sealed.

3 and 5, the size (width and height) and shape of the incision groove 252 may have a size and a shape corresponding to the size of the branch hole 115 of the main body 100. The drainage hole 112 and the branching hole 115 are communicated with each other so that the water drained from the drainage hole 112 flows into the branching hole 115, As shown in Fig. At this time, the rotary body 251 of the rotary side 250 is placed on the through hole 152 of the drainage control plate 150, so that the lower part of the drainage hole 112 is sealed.

The flange 111 and the cap 210 of the main body 100 may be provided with a display unit for indicating the opening position of the drain hole 112 and the branch hole 115.

For example, the display unit may include arrows as shown in FIG. 6, and an arrow 211 serving as a reference point may be positioned on one side of the stopper 210. Arrows 111a and 111b may be respectively displayed on the flange 111 so that the open positions of the branch hole 115 and the drain hole 112 are displayed. The arrows 111a and 111b of the flange 111 may be positioned to be spaced by 90 [deg.]. 6A, the arrow 111a at 6 o'clock position on the flange 111 is the closing position CLOSE of the drain hole 112 and the open position of the branch hole 115, The arrow 111b in the 3 o'clock direction may be the open position OPEN of the drain hole 112 and the closed position of the branch hole 115 as shown in Fig. 6 (b).

Accordingly, each time the stopper 210 of the main body 100 included in the display unit is rotated from the reference point at 6 o'clock or 3 o'clock, the rotation side 250 is pushed through the through holes 152 of the drainage control plate 150 The rotating side 250 is closed by closing the branch hole 115 while opening the branch hole 115 while closing the branch hole 115 and closing the drain hole 112. On the contrary, when the rotation side 250 opens the through hole 152 and the drain hole 112 of the drainage control plate 150, .

The discharge pipe 320 may extend from the lower portion of the coupling body 310 and may be coupled to the first drain pipe 400 to communicate with the drain hole 112. Accordingly, the drain pipe 320 moves the water drained from the drain hole 112. The first drain pipe 400 may be provided with a U-shaped trap 450 to filter out foreign substances or to prevent odors.

The branch pipe 330 may extend outside the coupling body 310 to be connected to the branch pipe 115 and may be coupled to the second pipe 500. Accordingly, the branch pipe 330 moves the water discharged from the branch pipe 115.

The second drain pipe (500) is provided with a filter unit (510) to purify the water drained through the sink (10). For example, the filter unit 510 may include a filter for filtering out foreign matter, a carbon filter for increasing water quality, and the like. The filter unit 510 may be detachably installed to be replaceable. A storage tank 700 for storing water passing through the filter unit 510 may be installed in the lower part of the second water pipe 500. The water passing through the second water pipe 500 and stored in the storage tank 700 can be recycled for toilet, bathroom cleaning, pollen water cycle, toilet bowl cleaning, and the like.

The first drain pipe 400 and the second drain pipe 500 may further include a first control valve 440 and a second control valve 540 for controlling the opening and closing of the respective passages. For example, the regulating valves 440 and 540 may be of a type used in a faucet or a gas valve and may be modified in other forms. Each of the control valves 440 and 540 can control the drainage to the first drain pipe 400 and the second drain pipe 500 as required, which will be described later.

Meanwhile, a connection pipe 600 may be further provided between the first drain pipe 400 and the second drain pipe 500. The connection pipe 600 can communicate the first drain pipe 400 and the second drain pipe 500.

The connection pipe 600 connects the first drain pipe 400 and the second drain pipe 500 at a horizontal height. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, one side of the connection pipe 600 is connected to the upper portion of the first drain pipe 400 where the first control valve 440 is located, and the other side of the connection pipe 600 And may be connected to a lower portion of the second drain pipe 500 where the second control valve 540 is located.
