Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The functional water supply device of the present invention is a device for supplying mixed water containing mixed inflow water and functional material supplied from the outside to the user. Such a functional water supply device is generally used in a bathroom, a public bath, and the like.

1 to 5, the functional water supply device of the present invention includes a main body 100, a door 200, a flow control unit 300, and a door lock unit 400.

The main body 100 includes a first chamber 110, a second chamber 120, a flow path 130, and a barrier 140.

The first chamber 110 includes an inlet 111 through which inflow water is supplied, an outlet 112 through which mixed water is discharged, and a shower plate 114 that opens and closes the first chamber 110.

The inlet port 111 and the outlet port 112 are connected to the middle of the pipeline or downstream of the pipeline, respectively, and are connected to the middle or downstream of the water pipe of the bathroom. The inlet (111) and outlet (112) may be threadably coupled to the water tube or coupled in a flanged manner.

The functional water supply device of the present invention may be provided in a showerhead.

3, the inlet 111 is connected to the inner duct 11 of the handle 10 of the shower head, and the shower plate 114 is installed downstream of the outlet 112. As shown in FIG. As a result, the water introduced through the handle 10 of the shower head is sprayed through the shower plate 114. This is because the water pressure of the outflowing mixed water is increased by the water spray plate 114, so that the user can use a mixed water of appropriate water pressure.

At this time, the shower plate 114 is installed in the lower part of the first chamber 110. Thus, mixed water sprayed to the spray plate 114 can be conveniently used while the user holds the handle 10. The shower plate 114 is detachably attached to the first chamber 110 and can be coupled to the first chamber 110 such as a screw type or a flange type so as to open and close the first chamber 110. Thus, the first chamber 110 can be opened and closed by the shower plate 114, facilitating the cleaning, repairing, maintenance and replacement of the shower plate inside the first chamber 110.

The second chamber 120 is connected to the first chamber 110 and the flow path 130 to supply a part of the inflow water and supply the mixed water to the first chamber 110. In other words, the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 are communicated with the first chamber 110 through the flow path 130 and the partition 140 by the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120, respectively. The inflow water flows into the second chamber 120 through the flow path directly outgoing to the outlet 112 through the first chamber 110 and then flows out to the first chamber 110 again And may have a path that flows out to the outlet 112.

The second chamber 120 further includes a perforation 121 protruding from the inner surface.

The perforation 121 is formed by piercing one side of the functional substance storage body when the door unit 200 is closed in a state where the functional substance storage body is mounted therein.

As a result, the functional substance accommodating body ejects the functional material from the portion perforated by the perforation 121. The injected functional material is rapidly mixed with the inflow water flowing into the second chamber 120, so that the user can use the mixed water in a short time from the viewpoint of storing the functional material storage body.

The flow path 130 is a path for communicating the first and second chambers 110 and 120 and at least one of the chambers 140 between the first and second chambers 110 and 120 is formed. 6, a plurality of the flow paths 130 are formed in the partition wall 140 and the first flow paths 131 adjacent to the first flow paths 131 and the first flow paths 131 adjacent to the first flow paths 131, And a second flow path 132 located far away. This makes it possible to smoothly flow the inflow water into the second chamber 120 and the mixed water outflow by separately constituting the inflow water and the flow path for the inflow and outflow of the mixed water into the second chamber 120.

At this time, the first chamber 110 protrudes from the partition wall 140 toward the inside of the first chamber 110.

It is preferable that the flow path guide 113 is formed on the inner surface between the first and second flow paths 131 and 132. Thus, the inflow water introduced through the inlet 111 is guided into the second chamber 120 through the first flow path 131. In this way, the inflow water is prevented from flowing out through the outlet 112 directly. By providing the flow guide 113, it is possible to increase the amount of the inflow water flowing into the first flow path 131, that is, the flow path adjacent to the inflow port 111. [

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the flow guide 113 can control the amount of inflow water flowing into the first flow path 131 by adjusting the size, shape, and installation position of the flow guide 113. Figs. 6 and 7 show horizontal cross-sections of the flow guide 113. Fig.

The flow guide 113 is formed by projecting a partition wall between the first and second chambers 110 and 120 so as to protrude toward the inside of the first chamber 120, Shape.

First, as shown in Fig. 6, the flow guide 113 is formed into a flat plate shape. The upper end of the flow guide 113 is in contact with the partition wall. The lower end of the flow guide 113 is spaced apart from the bottom of the first chamber 110, and both ends of the flow guide 113 are in contact with the side surface of the first chamber 110.

Next, as shown in Fig. 7, the flow path guide 113 is formed in the form of a curved surface having a concave shape toward the first flow path 131. As shown in Fig. The upper end of the flow guide 113 is in contact with the partition wall. The lower end of the flow guide 113 is spaced apart from the bottom of the first chamber 110, and both ends thereof are spaced apart from the side of the first chamber 110.

Although not shown in the drawing, the flow path guide may have a lower end concaved toward the first flow path, and may be formed in any shape to increase the amount of inflow water flowing into the first flow path.

The door unit 200 opens and closes the second chamber 120 so that the functional material is supplied into the second chamber 120. The door unit 200 includes a lid 210 which is hinged by the main body 100 and the hinge 220 to open and close the second chamber 120.

The lid 210 opens and closes the second chamber 120. When the lid 210 is opened, the second chamber 120 is opened. When the lid 210 is closed, the second chamber 120 is sealed.

2, the hinge unit 220 can rotate the lid 210 around an axis perpendicular to the inflow direction of the inflow water flowing through the inflow opening 111. [

Although not shown in the drawings, the hinge portion can pivot the lid about an axis parallel to the inflow direction of the inflow water, and the position where the hinge portion is disposed and the pivot axis of the lid can be determined according to the arrangement position and direction of the main body portion.

The lid 210 may have a transparent portion 230 formed at least partly transparent. By providing the transparent portion 230, the user can see through the inside of the second chamber 120 when the lid is closed. Thus, the user can recognize whether the functional material stored in the second chamber 120 is stored or not, and can easily confirm the inside of the second chamber 120. [

It is preferable that the lid 210 is fixed by the latching part 240 when the lid 210 is closed and formed on the opposite side where the hinge part 220 is provided.

The latching part 240 may be formed in a button shape. When the lid is opened, the lid 210 can be opened by releasing the engagement between the lid 210 and the main body 100 by pressing a button protruding outside the lid 210. Conversely, if the lid 21 is rotated in the direction of the main body 100 by the hinge 22 when the lid is closed, the engaging portion between the lid 210 and the main body 100 is engaged to close the lid 210 The state can be fixed.

Thus, the user can open the lid 210 only by pressing the button of the latching part 240, and close the lid 210 only by pressing the lid. Thus, the user can easily open and close the lid 210 with one hand . This is advantageous in that replacement of the functional material is convenient, and the functional material storage body having a desired function can be immediately replaced and used.

The flow rate regulator 300 regulates the opening size of the flow path 130 to regulate the flow rate of the influent water and mixed water passing through the flow path 130. The flow rate regulator 300 can adjust the opening size of the flow passage 130 by moving relative to the partition 140 in a close contact state. The flow rate regulator 300 includes a regulator 310, a regulator 320, and a regulator 330.

The throttle plate 310 is preferably in close contact with the partition 140 and rotates and is positioned above the partition 140. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer circumference of the throttle plate 310 may extend upward. The second chamber 120 may be formed of the inner space of the lid 210 and the throttle plate 310 and may be stably supported in the main body 100 when the throttle plate 310 rotates.

The adjuster 320 is a hole penetrating the upper and lower portions of the throttle plate 310 so that the opening size of the passage 130 is changed according to the rotation of the throttle plate 310. The position of the control port 320 corresponding to the flow path 130 is changed by the rotation of the control plate 310. [ At this time, depending on the size of the portion overlapping with the flow path 130, the flow rate of water flowing through the flow path 130 and the mixed water amount can be controlled and the flow path 130 can be opened or closed.

The control member 320 can be divided into first and second control members 321 and 322.

The first control port 321 is formed at a position adjacent to the inlet port and the second control port 322 is formed at a position farther from the inlet port than the first control port 321. At this time, the first and second control openings 321 and 322 may be formed symmetrically with respect to a position symmetrical with respect to the rotation center axis of the control plate 310.

The adjustment piece 330 is formed to extend outward from the main body 100 from the adjustment plate 310 so as to rotate the adjustment plate 310. The user can move the adjusting member 330 to rotate the adjusting plate 310 provided in the second chamber 120 even when the lid 210 is closed.

The adjuster 330 extends outward from the adjuster plate 310 through the adjuster through hole 331 passing through the inside and the outside of the main body 100.

The adjusting through hole 331 is formed to correspond to the moving distance of the adjusting piece 330 moving in accordance with the rotation angle of the adjusting plate 310.

The sealing member 340 is provided between the main body 100 and the outer circumferential surface of the throttle plate 310 to prevent inflow water and mixed water from leaking out of the main body 100 into the second chamber 120.

Hereinafter, the shape of the control valve 320 formed in the throttle plate 310 and the flow path 130 formed in the partition wall 140 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. FIG.

8A to 10C are plan views showing an adjustment port 320 of the throttle plate 310 according to each embodiment, and FIG. 8B is a cross- (C), (d), and (e) are plan views showing a state in which the throttle plate 310 and the partition wall 140 are overlapped with each other according to each embodiment, and (c) (D) shows a state in which the flow path 130 is partially opened, and (e) shows a state in which the flow path 130 is closed.

It is also assumed that the inflow water flows in from the left side in the drawing, the hatched portion in the figure indicates a portion where the flow path is opened, and the throttle plate 310 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing.

First, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the first and second control openings 321 and 322 are symmetrically formed in arc shape having a long length in the radial direction.

As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the first and second flow paths 131 and 132 are symmetrically formed in arc shape having a long length in the radial direction. At this time, the first and second flow paths 131 and 132 are formed to correspond to the first and second control ports 321 and 322, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 8 (c), the regulator 320 and the flow path 130 are completely overlapped, so that the opening size of the flow path is maximized. When the adjusting member 330 is rotated, the flow path 130 is partially closed by the adjusting member 130, and the remaining part of the flow path 130 is opened as shown in FIG. When the adjusting piece 330 is further rotated, as shown in FIG. 8 (e), the flow passage 130 is closed because there is no portion overlapping the adjusting portion 130.

Second, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first and second control openings 321 and 322 are symmetrically formed in arc shape having a long length in the radial direction.

9 (b), the flow path 130 is composed of first and second large flow paths 131a and 132a, and first and second small flow paths 131b and 132b.

The first and second large flow paths 131a and 132a are formed symmetrically with respect to the arc shape having a shorter length in the radial direction than the control hole 320. [

The first and second small flow paths 131b and 132b are shorter in radial direction than the control valve 320 and are symmetrically formed in the shape of an arc having the same angle as that of the first and second large flow paths 131a and 132a .

9 (c), the regulator 320 is overlapped with the first and second large flow paths 131a and 132a so that the opening size of the flow path is maximized. When the adjusting member 330 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 9D, the adjusting member 320 overlaps with the first and second small flow paths 131b and 132b to reduce the opening size of the flow path. When the adjusting member 330 is further rotated, as shown in FIG. 9E, the flow path 130 is closed because there is no overlapping portion with the adjusting member 130.

Third, as shown in FIG. 10A, the first and second control openings 321 and 322 are symmetrically formed in a rectangular shape having a long length in the radial direction and a short length in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 10 (b), the first and second flow paths 131 and 132 are symmetrically formed such that the length in the radial direction becomes shorter in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 10 (c), the regulator 320 is overlapped with the longest portion of the first and second flow paths 131 and 132 in the radial direction, so that the opening size of the flow path is maximized. 10 (d), the regulator 320 is overlapped with a portion of the first and second flow paths 131 and 132 having a shorter radial length, so that the opening size of the flow path . When the adjusting piece 330 is further rotated, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the flow passage 130 is closed because there is no part overlapping the adjusting piece 130.

As described above, the opening size of the flow path can be adjusted and opened by rotating the adjusting plate 310 by forming the adjusting valve 320 and the flow path 130. This can control the ratio of the functional material contained in the water sprayed to the user by controlling the flow rate of the water flowing through the second chamber 120 by controlling the amount of the inflow water and the mixed water passing through the flow path 130.

At this time, when the door part 200 is closed, the soft capsule 520 is pressed inside the sealed second chamber 120, and one side of the soft capsule 520 is punctured by the perforation 121.

Since the case portion surrounding the functional material 520 is made water-soluble, when the flexible capsule 520 is stored in the second chamber 120, the soft material gradually melts by the inflow water, and the functional material contained in the soft capsule 520 is mixed with water. Therefore, the user can use the mixed water in which the functional material is mixed without puncturing the soft capsule 520.

When the soft capsule 520 is punctured, the functional material in the soft capsule 520 is immediately ejected, so that the user can use the mixed water in which the functional material is mixed in a short time.

Meanwhile, when the capsule is smaller than the internal space of the second chamber 120 and the capsule can not be punctured by the perforation 121, the adapter 530 may be additionally provided.

The adapter 530 is provided inside the lid 210, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, to provide additional volume to reduce the internal space of the second chamber 120. Fig. As a result, a small-sized capsule can be inserted into the adapter 530 to obtain additional volume, thereby reaching the perforation 121 and being perforated.

By providing the adapter 530 as described above, capsules of various sizes can be mounted and used.

On the other hand, in the case of the soft capsule 520 made of a case made of a water-soluble material, if the mixed water of the functional material in the capsule is not used in a short time, the water-soluble case melts in water and does not need to be drilled separately. In this case, the perforation 121 may be omitted.

As described above, the functional water supply device of the present invention can be easily used during showering by simply storing the functional substance storage body in the middle of showering, and it is not necessary to wash the functional substance, so that the showering time can be shortened.

In addition, since the present invention is directly applied to the body through a shower head, a water spraying plate, or the like during a shower, it is possible to conveniently apply a portion such as a portion not touching the hand and there is no need to use any other tool for applying a functional material, Waste or loss of material can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the functional material storage body is used as a disposable hard capsule or a soft capsule, hygienic management of the functional material is thorough.

The present invention is also characterized in that a bent path is not formed in the path from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112 and from the inlet 111 to the outlet 112 through the second chamber 120, The noise generated by the collision during the passage through the second chambers 110 and 120 is minimized.

The second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in the flow control portion and the door lock portion.
