Abstract

The present invention relates to a water saving apparatus. More specifically, according to the present invention, a flow rate and a temperature of a sink or a washbasin are controlled with user's feet. Therefore, the water saving apparatus of the present invention can be operated only by the user's feet without user's hands. As a result, the flow rate and the temperature of a water can be conveniently adjusted when a task which needs to be done by a hand, such as washing dishes, are performed. The water saving apparatus of the present invention comprises: an input panel (200); a signal controller (103); and a controller (102).

Description

발로 조작하는 수량 및 온도 조절 절수장치{Water saving device for controlling water quantity and temperature operated by feet}Water saving device for controlling water quantity and temperature operated by feet

본 발명은 절수장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는, 싱크대나 세면대에서 물의 양과 온도를 발로 조작할 수 있고 조작장치가 버튼방식으로 된 절수장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a water-saving device, and more particularly, to a water-saving device in which the amount and temperature of water in a sink or washbasin can be controlled by foot and the operation device is a button type.

일반적인 수도꼭지는 사용자가 식기를 세척하거나 물을 틀어놓고 어떤 행위를 할 때 손으로 물의 공급과 온도의 조절을 해야 하여 사용이 불편하였다.A general faucet was inconvenient to use because the user had to control the water supply and temperature by hand when washing dishes or turning on the water for any action.

그리하여 최근에는 발로 조작하는 절수장치가 개발되었다. 그러나 물의 공급 및 차단 기능만을 수행하거나 그 외에도 수온 조절 기능만을 수행하도록 되어 있어 유량, 온도, 공급 및 차단 기능등의 기존의 수도꼭지를 완전히 대체하기에는 문제가 있다.Therefore, recently, a water-saving device operated by foot has been developed. However, there is a problem in completely replacing the existing faucets such as flow rate, temperature, supply and shutoff functions, etc. because only the function of supplying and shutting off water or performing only the function of controlling the water temperature is performed.

대한민국 공개특허 제10-2020-0113953호(“발을 이용한 싱크대의 냉,온수 공급장치제공”, 양길성, 2020.10.07)Korean Patent Laid-Open Patent No. 10-2020-0113953 (“Provision of cold and hot water supply device for sink using feet”, Gil-Sung Yang, October 7, 2020) 대한민국 등록특허 제10-1791530호(“절수기용 풋스위치 및 이를 갖는 절수기”, 진명홈바스(주), 2017.10.24)Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1791530 (“Foot switch for water saving device and water saving device having the same”, Jinmyung Home Bath Co., Ltd., 2017.10.24)

본 발명의 목적은 발로 물의 공급 및 차단, 수온 조절뿐만 아니라 유량 조절의 기능도 수행하는 절수장치를 제공하는 것이다.An object of the present invention is to provide a water-saving device that performs the functions of supplying and blocking water with the feet, controlling water temperature, as well as controlling the flow rate.

본 발명에 따른 절수장치는 냉수의 유량을 조절하는 냉수밸브(100)와 온수의 유량을 조절하는 온수밸브(101)와 신호를 입력시키는 버튼(201)으로 이루어진 입력패널(200)과 입력패널(200)에 입력된 신호를 받아 신호전류를 생성해 각각의 컨트롤러(102)로 전송하는 신호제어기(103)와 신호제어기(103)에서 받은 전류값을 전압으로 전환해 온,냉수 밸브(100,101)에 인가하는 컨트롤러(102)로 구성된다.The water saving device according to the present invention includes an input panel 200 and an input panel ( 200), the signal controller 103 generates a signal current and transmits it to each controller 102, and the current value received from the signal controller 103 is converted into a voltage and applied to the hot and cold water valves 100 and 101. Consists of a controller 102 that applies.

본 발명은 기존의 수도꼭지처럼 유량, 온도, 개폐를 다 같이 조절할 수 있어 더 세밀하게 수도를 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.The present invention has the advantage of being able to control the water supply more precisely because the flow rate, temperature, and opening/closing can all be adjusted like a conventional faucet.

또한 본 발명은 발로 유량, 온도, 개폐를 다 같이 조절할 수 있어 손을 쓰지 않고도 수도를 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.In addition, the present invention has the advantage that the flow rate, temperature, and opening and closing can be controlled together with the feet, so that the water supply can be controlled without using hands.

싱크대(1) 내부에 상수도와 연결된 냉수관(110), 보일러등의 가열수단에 연결된 온수관(111)에 냉수밸브(100)와 온수밸브(101)이 설치되어 있으며, 싱크대(1) 외부에 버튼을 통해 신호를 입력시킬 수 있는 입력패널(200)이 설치되어 있다. 냉수밸브(100)와 온수밸브(101)은 유량 비례제어 솔레노이드 밸브로서 가해지는 전압에 비례하여 유량을 조절할 수 있는 밸브이다. 입력패널(200)에 위치한 각각의 버튼(201)에는 원하는 유량과 온도에 맞는 신호를 설정한다. 입력패널(200)에 위치한 버튼(201)을 누르면 신호제어기(103)에서 신호를 인식해 컨트롤러(102)에 신호에 맞는 전류를 전송한다. 컨트롤러(102)는 전송된 전류를 그에 맞는 전압으로 변환하여 냉수밸브(100)와 온수밸브(101)에 인가한다. 전압을 인가받은 냉수밸브(100)와 온수밸브(101)은 전압에 비례하여 밸브의 유로가 열려 유량을 조절하게 된다.The cold water valve 100 and the hot water valve 101 are installed in the cold water pipe 110 connected to the water supply inside the sink 1, and the hot water pipe 111 connected to the heating means such as a boiler, and the cold water valve 100 and the hot water valve 101 are installed outside the sink 1 An input panel 200 capable of inputting a signal through a button is installed. The cold water valve 100 and the hot water valve 101 are flow rate proportional control solenoid valves that can adjust the flow rate in proportion to the applied voltage. A signal suitable for the desired flow rate and temperature is set for each button 201 located on the input panel 200 . When the button 201 located on the input panel 200 is pressed, the signal controller 103 recognizes a signal and transmits a current corresponding to the signal to the controller 102 . The controller 102 converts the transmitted current into an appropriate voltage and applies it to the cold water valve 100 and the hot water valve 101 . The cold water valve 100 and the hot water valve 101 to which the voltage is applied open the flow path in proportion to the voltage to adjust the flow rate.
