Description

Multi-stage branch water saving faucet

The present invention relates to a water tap, and more particularly to a multi-stage divergent water-saving tap.

In general, a water supply system for supplying water from a water supply or a boiler to a bathroom, a veranda, a sink, and the like is essential. To this end, piping is required. Currently, the most commonly used method is a one-to-one method of supplying water to a desired point through one distributor installed in the pipe.

One-to-one method is to distribute the water supplied from the water supply source to the sink, washing machine, bathtub, wash basin, toilet bowl, etc., which is the final water supply source directly connected to the distributor through a single distributor.

However, in the case of using the one-to-one type of dispenser as described above, since the distributor and each final water supply destination are piped to be directly connected to each other, there is a problem that the length of the pipe becomes long when the distance to the final water supply destination is far. Therefore, there is a concern that not only causes an increase in construction cost, but also interferes with other processes or interferes with the construction of other facilities, and furthermore, there is a problem that smooth water supply may not be achieved.

In order to solve the problem of the one-to-one type water supply system, a technology for a multi-stage branched water supply system capable of supplying water in multiple stages has been proposed.

The multi-stage divergent water supply system is arranged to be connected in multiple stages by sequentially connecting the plurality of

power outlets

10a, 10b, and 10c from the supply unit M for supplying water, as shown in FIG. To be supplied.

Here, in the multi-stage divergent water supply system as described above, when two or more faucet ports are used simultaneously in a multi-stage faucet, the farther the farther the faucet is, the less the amount of water discharged. In addition, the greater the number of water outlets used, the less the amount of water discharged. This is because the amount of water supplied is constant, but the discharge point is many and there is a difference in the water pressure bar, it is necessary to solve this problem so that the water pressure is maintained relatively uniformly in all water supply. In addition, the amount of water discharged from the water supply port that supplies water to a washing machine with a low frequency of use, and the amount of water discharged from the water supply port, such as a washbasin, is adjusted according to the frequency of use. As a result, there is a need to ensure that the amount of water discharged from the high-use water outlet is reduced as a result, and the present invention aims to provide a multi-stage divergent water-saving light bulb that can achieve such an object. do.

The present invention is the main body portion is formed an inner space; An inlet formed on one side of the lower portion of the main body to introduce water; A branching part formed at the other side of the lower part of the main body to branch the water passing through the inflow part; A discharge portion formed in the main body portion and discharged from the water flowing through the inflow portion; and a flow rate controller is mounted inside the discharge portion to control the flow rate and flow rate of the incoming water to implement a water saving function. A multi-stage divergent water-saving faucet is proposed to achieve the above object.

According to the present invention, in addition to the water saving effect, the amount of water discharged from the point where the use of water is required can be adjusted to a desired level, so that the water saving effect is induced, and the water discharge point is connected in a multi-stage branching system. The amount of water discharged at each point can be set to be different, so that the water can be smoothly discharged in consideration of the characteristics and frequency of use of each point.

The water-saving faucet 1 of the present embodiment may be mounted and used in a multi-stage divergent water supply system to diverge water into multiple stages.

2 to 5, the water-saving faucet 1 of the present embodiment is the main body 100, the inlet 200, the discharge unit 400, the branch 300, the flow rate regulator ( 420 may be configured to be included.

The main body 100 may have an inner space that allows water introduced into one side to be discharged in at least one direction and branches to the other side. For example, the body portion 100 may have various forms in which an inner space in which a predetermined amount of water can be stayed is formed. Fastening holes for screwing, etc. may be formed on the outside of the main body 100.

Inlet portion 200 is formed on the lower side of the main body portion 100 may be formed with an inlet through which water is introduced. The inlet 200 may have a short pipe shape such that the inlet of the circular cross section has a predetermined length, and may have various shapes as necessary.

The inlet 200 may be manufactured separately from the main body 100 and may be coupled to the main body 100, or may be integrally formed under the main body 100.

Branch portion 300 is formed on the other side of the lower portion of the main body portion 100 may be formed with a branch for branching water. The branch 300 may have a short pipe shape such that a branch having a circular cross section has a predetermined length, and may have various shapes as necessary.

Branch portion 300 may be manufactured separately from the main body portion 100 may be coupled to the main body portion 100, it may be integrally formed on the lower portion of the main body portion (100).

Here, the inlet part 200, the branch part 300, and the main body part 100 may be arranged such that inlets, inner spaces, and branching holes formed in each inner side thereof have a U-shape and communicate with each other. Of course, the above-described shape is merely an example and may be arranged in various forms.

Discharge unit 400 is formed in the above-described body portion 100 forms a portion in which the water flowing through the inlet 200 is discharged. The discharge unit 400 may be formed with a fastening screw groove 411 on the inside to be connected to various water sources such as sinks, washing machines, tubs, washbasins, toilets.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the discharge part 400 exemplifies a form in which the water pipe is fastened to the fastening screw groove 411 as shown in FIG. 4, but may be connected to various water sources as described above.

Similarly, the discharge part 400 may have a short pipe shape such that the discharge hole having a circular cross section has a predetermined length, and may have various shapes as necessary.

In addition, the discharge part 400 may be manufactured separately from the main body part 100 and may be coupled to the main body part 100, or may be integrally formed to be at a predetermined position of the main body part 100. For example, the discharge part 400 of the present embodiment may be coupled to the main body part 100 so as to be between the inlet part 200 and the branch part 300.

The flow rate controller 420 serves to supply the discharge unit 400 by adjusting the flow rate and flow rate of the water flowing into the discharge unit 400. The interior of the body is empty and regulates the flow rate and flow rate in a way that changes the direction of the water to increase resistance.

Flow rate controller 420 can be branched and discharged so that the flow of water is diverted smoothly with the water saving effect can simplify the pipe construction, and can suppress the generation of noise.

To this end, more specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the flow rate controller 420 includes an upper inlet hole 421, a lower outlet hole 423, a turning jaw 422, and a noise prevention channel 423a. Can be configured.

The upper inlet hole 421 has a cross-sectional area of a size smaller than that of the outlet and allows water to flow from the upper portion of the outlet 400. For example, the upper inlet hole 421 may be a small sized hole having a circular cross-sectional area and may have various shapes and sizes. The upper inlet hole 421 serves to speed up the flow rate and reduce the flow rate while reducing the cross-sectional area of the water flowing into the outlet.

The lower outlet hole 423 has a constant length and has a cross-sectional area of a size smaller than that of the outlet and allows water to flow out from the lower portion of the outlet 400. For example, the upper inlet hole 421 may be a small sized hole having a circular cross-sectional area and may have various shapes and sizes. In the horizontal direction, the upper inlet hole 421 is formed at a predetermined interval, and in the vertical direction, the height is formed at the lower portion. The lower outlet hole 423 serves to speed up the flow rate and reduce the flow rate while reducing the cross-sectional area of the water flowing out toward the outlet.

The turning jaw 422 is formed at a position corresponding to the upper inlet hole 421 at a predetermined distance from the upper inlet hole 421 at the vertically upper portion of the lower outlet hole 423. Through the upper inlet hole 421 serves to guide the lower outlet hole 423 by switching the direction of water flowing straight.

The water flowing into the upper inlet hole 421 by the direction changing jaw 422 does not move to the lower outlet hole 423 in a straight direction, and the direction may be converted into an 'S' shape while changing the direction.

Accordingly, a vortex is formed between the upper inlet hole 421 and the lower outlet hole 423 by the turning jaw 422, and an appropriate pressure is provided between the upper inlet hole 421 and the lower outlet hole 423 by the vortex. And flow rate is maintained. Therefore, by the direction change jaw 422 located between the upper inlet hole 421 and the lower outlet hole 423 it is possible to prevent excessive water from being discharged all at once to the discharge unit 400 can be expected water saving effect.

The noise prevention channel 423a is formed on the inner outer wall of the lower outlet hole 423 to control the noise generated when the water is discharged by rotating the water.

As described above, the water moves to a hole having a smaller cross-sectional area such as the upper inlet hole 421 and the lower outlet hole 423 and noise may be generated by pressure or collision between the water particles while passing through the direction change jaw 422. There may be concerns. Therefore, the noise prevention passage 423a may suppress the noise of the water discharged to the lower outlet hole 423.

For example, the noise prevention passage 423a may be configured to include a spiral groove formed in the inner outer wall of the lower outlet hole 423. Therefore, the water discharged to the lower outlet hole 423 is discharged while flowing along the spiral groove of the noise prevention passage 423a to reduce the noise and to be discharged to the discharge port.

The noise prevention channel 423a may be modified to include various types of channels other than the aforementioned spiral groove.

According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, since the amount of water discharged from the required point can be adjusted to the desired degree, water saving effect is induced, and the water discharge point is each point in the water supply system connected to the multi-stage branching method. The amount of water discharged can be set differently for each bar, so that the water supply system can be set in consideration of the characteristics of each point and the frequency of use.

In the water-saving faucet 1a of another embodiment of the present invention, the discharge part 400a may be formed in the main body part 100 so as to be in parallel with at least one of the inlet part 200 and the branch part 300. .

As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the discharge part 400a may be formed in the main body part 100 so as to be in parallel with the inlet part 200. In this case, it is possible to control the flow rate flowing to the branch 300 as necessary by having the discharge unit 400 is located in the appropriate position according to the flow rate supplied to the discharge unit 400. As another example, the discharge unit 400 may be formed in the discharge unit 400 to be in parallel with the branch 300.
