Specifically, the head unit 20 performs a function of opening and closing the drain 51 of the wash basin. The head portion 20 is formed in a circular shape corresponding to the drain 51 so as to block the drain 51. A general elastic packing for sealing the drain port 51 may be coupled to the side of the head 20.

Foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30 is formed in a width corresponding to the drain. The foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30 extends downward from the bottom surface 21 of the head part 20. Foreign material jam prevention cover 30 serves to prevent the foreign material is caught on the operation lever (40). Foreign material jam prevention cover 30 is connected to the operating lever (40).

The lower portion of the foreign matter stopping cover 30 is provided with a cover portion 300 surrounding the operation lever 40. The cover part 300 is divided into two parts on the upper side of the operating lever 40 and surrounds a portion of the operating lever 40 exposed inside the drain port 51 of the wash basin 50.

The cover part 300 includes a first cover 310 and a second cover 320 that faces the first cover 310. A space 340 necessary for the operation of the operation lever 40 is provided between the first cover 310 and the second cover 320. The first cover 310 and the second cover 320 surrounds the operating lever 40 to prevent foreign matter from being caught by the operating lever 40 such as hair.

The first support part 311 is provided on the inner surface of the first cover 310. The second support part 321 is provided on the inner surface of the second cover 320 to face the first support part 311. The first support part 311 is provided with a first hole 312 surrounding one side half of the operation lever 40. The first hole 312 may be a semicircle. The second support member 321 is provided with a second hole 322 surrounding the other half of the operating lever 40 to face the first hole 312. The second hole 322 may be a semicircle. The first hole 312 and the second hole 322 abut to form a circle.

The connection surface of the cover part 300 of the upper and lower foreign matter jam prevention cover 30 is designed as a curved surface 330 so that water or foreign substances can flow down well. Wings 60 may be provided on both front and rear sides of the foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30. The foreign matter stopping cover 30 may be connected to the head portion 20 by a welding method or may be integral with the head portion 20.

Wings 60 are provided on both front and rear sides of the foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30. The wing 60 forms a shape such as "+" with the foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30. The vanes 60 should be designed to be close to the inner wall surface of the drain 51 of the basin 50. The wing 60 may serve as a guide for guiding the water passing through the drain 51 to flow well, and at the same time, serve as a rib to reinforce the durability of the foreign matter stopping cover 30.

As shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the wing 60 may be modified. In detail, the lower portion of the wing 60 may be positioned below the foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30, thereby reinforcing the rigidity of the foreign matter stopping prevention cover 30.

The following describes the operation of the basin pop-up valve according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Pressing the connecting rod connected to the operating lever 40 in a state in which the head portion 20 blocks the drain port 51 as shown in FIG. 4, the operating lever 40 pops up while rotating about the hinge shaft 70 by the operation of the connecting rod. Push up the valve. As the pop-up valve rises, the head portion 20 which is blocking the drain port 51 leaves the drain port 51 and the open state of the drain port 51 is achieved.

In the open state of the drain port 51, foreign substances such as water and hair are discharged through the drain port 51. At this time, since the portion of the operation lever 40 exposed inside the drain port 51 is covered by the first cover 311 and the second cover 312, foreign matter flowing along the drain port 51 may flow into the drain port 51. It can be immediately discharged along the drain port 51 without being caught by the exposed portion of the operating lever (40). Specifically, the foreign matter naturally flows along the outer surfaces of the first cover 311 and the second cover 312 and is discharged to the drain 51.

When the head 20 is pushed into the drain 51, the operation lever 315 is in the original position and the open drain 51 is blocked by the head 20.

The following describes the coupling process of the operating lever and the foreign matter prevention cover.

Conventionally, the coupling of the operating lever 40 was not easy because the operating lever 40 was combined by fitting the operating lever 40 precisely to the hole. However, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the operating lever 315 may be easily coupled at a time by pushing the operating lever 40 between the first cover 310 and the second cover 320.

Specifically, when the operation lever 315 is pushed between the first cover 310 and the second cover 320, the gap between the first cover 310 and the second cover 320 naturally opens. Specifically, when the operating lever 315 is pushed between the first cover 310 and the second cover 320, the operating lever 315 may enter between the first support part 311 and the second support part 321 which are adjacent to each other. The opening lever 315 is positioned in the first hole 312 and the second hole 322 through the gap. The engagement of the operation lever 315 is narrowed again between the first support part 311 and the second support part 321 which were opened when the operation lever 315 is positioned in the first hole 312 and the second hole 322. The state is achieved.

As described above, the washbasin pop-up valve according to the embodiment of the present invention may prevent the foreign matter discharged through the drainage from being caught by the operating lever by wrapping the operation lever portion exposed inside the drainage with a foreign matter stopping prevention cover. In addition, unlike the conventional coupling method of the operating lever to insert the operating lever into the hole, the operating lever can be easily coupled at a time by pushing the operating lever into the first hole and the second hole.
