Hereinafter, a sink water-saving device of the present invention will be described in detail by explaining a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the sink water saving device 2 according to the present invention includes a hose 8 connected to supply water by operating the opening/closing lever 6 of the sink faucet 4, and the sink. When the switch member 12, which is installed to slide left and right on the front side of the body 10, is slid using a body part, the water saving valve member 14 that interlocks can be opened and closed so that the water in the hose 8 can be controlled. made to be

In addition, the water-saving valve member 14, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5, is in the middle of the hose 8 connected to the sink faucet 4, the inlet hose 8a and the water outlet hose 8b. ) are respectively connected to the valve body 16, and the valve body 16, the valve body 16, and the valve restoration body 20 having a magnetic force that is coupled to the outer peripheral surface of the knob 18 to be inserted and installed; Water-saving valve plate ( 26) is included.

The valve restoration body 20 and the water saving valve plate 26 are installed to pull each other by magnetic force. That is, the water-saving valve plate 26 is restored by the repulsive action of the magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control of the switch member 12 after the opening operation to quickly shut off the valve chamber 24 .

And the water-saving valve plate 26 is, as shown in FIG. 4, when the magnetic body 28 for valve opening and closing control having magnetic force moves in the left and right directions outside the valve body 16, by the repulsive force of the magnetic force, the inlet port ( 22) is assembled so that it can be easily opened and closed, and is installed to be attached to the valve restoration body 20 in a vertical posture by magnetic force. In addition, the water-saving valve member 14 is pressed into the holder 44 on the base frame 36, which is installed after the sound-absorbing rubber plate 42 is added to the front surface 10a of the sink 10, and then fastened with bolts to make the valve The body 16 is securely installed. The sound-absorbing rubber plate (42) blocks the vibration of the sink (10) from affecting the water-saving valve plate (26) in the water-saving valve member (14).

In addition, since the water-saving valve plate 26 is disposed so as to be in close proximity to the magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control installed inside the switch cover 12a, when the magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control moves left and right, in the valve chamber 24 The opening and closing of the acquisition-side port 22 to which the acquisition-side hose (8a) is connected is performed quickly and accurately.

In addition, the switch member 12, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, is installed on the front surface 10a of the sink 10, the magnet 30 for inducing the return to the return of the switch cover 12a. It is installed on one side, the water-saving valve member 14 is installed in the center, and a rectangular base frame 36 having a locking jaw groove 34 formed in the middle of the upper guide rail 32 among the upper and lower guide rails 32 and ; It is assembled as a rail groove 46 slidably on the guide rail 32 of the base frame 36 so that the locking protrusion 38 is caught in the locking jaw groove 34 to limit left and right movement, and a water-saving valve member ( 14) is provided with a magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control that allows the opening and closing control by magnetic force, and includes a switch cover 12a formed so that both ends are assembled with a closing cover 40 and closed.

In addition, the base frame 36 is provided with a magnet 30 for induction of return only on one side. The return induction magnet 30 is installed to attract the return corresponding magnet 30a installed close to the inner side of the switch cover 12a. That is, when the user operates in the direction to cut off the water discharged from the jet cock 4a of the sink faucet 4 using the switch member 12, the magnet for inducing the return of the base frame 36 side ( 30) and the switch cover (12a) side of the return-response bottom stone (30a) is attracted by the magnetic force is strengthened so that the switch member (12) is quickly returned.

The base frame 36 has a locking jaw groove 34 that limits the sliding range of the switch cover 12a. That is, the switch member 12 is prevented from being separated from the base frame 36 .

A closing cover 40 for closing both sides is coupled to the switch cover 12a. The closing cover 40 is assembled by screwing into the screw grooves 12b formed on the inner circumferential surface of the switch cover 12a in a state in which the auxiliary cover 40a exposed to the outside is removed. After that, when the auxiliary cover 40a is assembled in a press fit type, the finish is neatly completed.

Further, a rail groove 46 is formed in the switch cover 12a. And in the middle of the upper side of the rail groove 46, a locking projection 38 to be caught in the locking jaw groove 34 of the base frame 36 is formed. The locking protrusion 38 allows the sliding switch cover 12a to move left and right in the locking jaw groove 34 without leaving the guide rail 32 so that the switch member 12 slides accurately.

On the other hand, any one of the closing cover 40 is provided with a return corresponding magnet 30a so as to attract each other with the return induction magnet 30 . That is, as the return induction magnet 30 and the return corresponding magnet 30a are formed with different polarities, when they enter the sphere of influence of magnetic force, the switch cover 12a is always pulled. Accordingly, when the sliding operation applied to the switch member 12 is released, the return induction magnet 30 and the return corresponding magnet 30a return the switch member 12 to the initial position by mutually pulling magnetic force.

And, as the magnetic material having magnetic force in the sink water saving device 2, either a rubber magnet or a metal magnet is used, or it is possible to use a combination of a rubber magnet and a metal magnet. It is also possible to add or subtract the strength of the magnetic force according to the design of the magnetic material. That is, the strength of the magnetic force may be adjusted by adding or subtracting a magnetic material. In addition, the magnetic body is formed in a size or shape so as to be easily installed in the internal space of the switch member 12 and the water saving valve member 14 .

In addition, the switch member 12, as shown in FIG. 6, to form a butt plate 12c in the longitudinal direction inside the switch cover 12a for easy disassembly and assembly, and attach a detachable magnetic body 12d thereto It is also possible to form by embedding. And a rail groove cap 46a is assembled to the guide rail 32 of the base frame 36 so as to correspond to the butt plate 12c. In addition, a rail-side magnetic body 46b that can be attached to the detachable magnetic body 12d of the butt plate 12c is embedded in the rail groove cap 46a.

Therefore, when cleaning the switch member 12, as shown in FIG. 6, when the switch cover 12a is pulled and held, the switch cover 12a is simply separated. That is, when an external force capable of overcoming the magnetic force between the detachable magnetic body 12d and the rail-side magnetic body 46b respectively installed in the butt plate 12c and the rail groove cap 46a is applied, they are simply separated. As described above, when the switch cover 12a is removed from the sink water saving device 2, it is possible to clean the switch cover 12a, the water saving valve member 14, and the base frame 36. The assembly of the gn switch cover 12a may be performed in the reverse order of disassembly.

Hereinafter, embodiments and usage examples of the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, when the opening/closing lever 6 is raised to use the sink faucet 4 , it is ejected through the injection cock 4a through the hose 8 . At this time, when it is desired to save water jetted through the spray cock 4a, the switch member 12 of the sink water saving device 2 installed on the front side of the sink 10 is attached to a part of the body, for example, the abdomen, arm, and side. When the switch member 12 is pushed to the right in a state in which it is brought into contact by using the like, the switch member 12 is moved while sliding.

And, when the switch member 12 slides to the right by operation, the magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control installed in the same polarity inside the switch cover 12a moves to the right and the water-saving valve plate inside the valve chamber 24 (26) by pushing the repulsive force so that the inlet port 22 is opened.

When the inlet port 22 inside the valve body 16 is opened, the water flowing into the hose 8 passes through the water saving valve plate 26 of the water saving valve member 14 in the inlet hose 8a. Afterwards, it is discharged through the injection cock 4a of the sink faucet 4 through the water outlet hose 8b.

Then, when the switch member 12 is pushed in the opposite direction to the body part that has been pushing the switch member 12 and falls off, the return corresponding magnet 30a of the switch cover 12a and the return induction magnet 30 of the base frame 36 ) are attracted to each other due to the action of magnetic force. As the return corresponding magnet 30a and the return induction magnet 30 are attracted to each other, the switch member 12 provided with the switch cover 12a returns to its pre-use state.

As described above, when the switch member 12 moves to the left to return, the magnetic body 28 for valve opening/closing control moves to the left and pushes the water saving valve plate 26 inside the valve chamber 24 to the left again. Accordingly, the water-saving valve plate 26 blocks the water inlet port 22 inside the valve chamber 24 . As the water inlet port 22 inside the water saving valve member 14 is closed by the water saving valve plate 26, the water discharged through the injection cock 4a is blocked without being discharged to the sink side of the sink 10 . That is, even when the opening/closing lever 4 of the sink faucet 4 is in an open state, water supply is in a state blocked by the water saving valve plate 26 . Since it is only necessary to operate the switch member 12 described above when water is required, the water saving efficiency is improved.

In addition, the switch member 12 is easy to disassemble and assemble so that cleaning can be carried out easily at any time. That is, when the auxiliary cover 40a assembled to the closing cover 40 is removed and only screws are loosened, the closing cover 40 is easily separated from the switch cover 12a. Then, when the rail groove 46 hung on the guide rail 32 is slightly lifted and pulled, the switch cover 12a is also simply separated from the base frame 36 . Thereafter, the switch cover 12a and the valve body 16 and the base frame 36 of the water saving valve member 14 may be cleaned. In addition, the assembly of the switch member 12 is simply assembled in the reverse order of disassembly.

The embodiment of the sink water saving device of the present invention described above is merely exemplary, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will be aware that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. will be able Therefore, it will be well understood that the present invention is not limited to the form mentioned in the above detailed description.
