Easy combination can be performed.
즉, 하부 본체(110)는 중심에서 돌출 형성되는 회전 중심관(112)의 내부 중공(EM)을 통해 외부로부터 유체를 공급받고, 회전 중심관(112)의 측면에 형성되는 유체 유출구(112-1)를 통해 내부 중공(EM)으로 공급된 유체를 유출시킬 수 있다. 하부 본체(110)는 회전 중심관(112)에 끼워지는 회전 본체(120)가 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체의 압력에 의해 시계 방향 또는 반시계 방향으로 회전할 수 있는 내부 공간이 형성된다.That is, the lower body 110 receives fluid from the outside through the internal hollow (EM) of the rotating central pipe 112 protruding from the center, and the fluid outlet 112- formed on the side of the rotating central pipe 112. The fluid supplied to the internal cavity (EM) can be discharged through 1). The lower body 110 has an internal space where the rotating body 120 inserted into the rotating center pipe 112 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by the pressure of the fluid flowing out from the fluid outlet 112-1. is formed
하부 본체(110)의 각 구성에 대해서 구체적으로 살펴보면, 회전 중심관(112)은 하부 본체(110)의 중심에서 일정 길이로 돌출되어 내부 중공(EM)을 통해 공급되는 유체가 하부 본체(110)의 중심으로만 공급되도록 하고, 회전 본체(120)의 중심홀(122)이 끼워져 유체의 흐르는 압력에 따라 회전 본체(120)가 회전할 수 있도록 하는 회전축 역할을 수행할 수 있다.Looking in detail at each configuration of the lower body 110, the rotating central pipe 112 protrudes from the center of the lower body 110 at a certain length so that the fluid supplied through the internal hollow (EM) flows into the lower body 110. It is supplied only to the center, and the central hole 122 of the rotating body 120 is inserted to serve as a rotation axis that allows the rotating body 120 to rotate according to the flowing pressure of the fluid.
또한, 일 실시예에 따라 회전 중심관(112)은 상부 측면 둘레를 따라 분산 결합홈(112-2)이 형성되어 회전 덮개(130)의 상부에서 압력 분산 부재(150)가 끼움결합될 수 있다. 상기 압력 분산 부재(150)는 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)가 회전 중심관(112)으로부터 이탈되는 것을 방지하는 부재로서, 압력 분산 부재(150)에 대한 상세한 설명은 이하에서 설명한다.In addition, according to one embodiment, the rotation center pipe 112 has a distribution coupling groove 112-2 formed along the upper side circumference, so that the pressure distribution member 150 can be fitted at the top of the rotation cover 130. . The pressure distribution member 150 is a member that prevents the rotating body 120 and the rotating cover 130 from being separated from the rotating central pipe 112. A detailed description of the pressure distribution member 150 will be described below. .
이때, 유체 유출구(112-1)는 회전 중심관(112)의 측면에서 상호 대향하거나 또는 일정 간격으로 이격되어 형성될 수 있으며, 내부 중공(EM)을 따라 공급되는 유체를 외부로 유출시킬 수 있다.At this time, the fluid outlets 112-1 may be formed to face each other or be spaced apart at regular intervals on the side of the rotating center pipe 112, and may discharge the fluid supplied along the internal hollow (EM) to the outside. .
상기 회전 본체(120)가 회전 중심관(112)에 끼워지게 되면, 유체 유출구(112-1)는 회전 본체(120)의 중심홀(122)과 유체 가이드홈(124)에 의해 개폐가 결정되는데, 유출되는 유체에 따라 회전 본체(120)가 회전하면서 중심홀(122)과 유체 가이드홈(124)에 의해 개폐될 수 있다. 즉, 유체 유출구(112-1)는 회전 본체(120)의 회전에 따라 중심홀(122)에 대향하도록 배치되면 중심홀(122)의 내면에 의해 폐쇄되고, 유체 가이드홈(124)에 대향하도록 배치되면 유체 가이드홈(124)의 공간에 의해 개방될 수 있다.When the rotating body 120 is inserted into the rotating central pipe 112, the opening and closing of the fluid outlet 112-1 is determined by the central hole 122 and the fluid guide groove 124 of the rotating body 120. , the rotating body 120 rotates according to the fluid flowing out and can be opened and closed by the central hole 122 and the fluid guide groove 124. That is, when the fluid outlet 112-1 is disposed to face the central hole 122 according to the rotation of the rotating body 120, it is closed by the inner surface of the central hole 122 and is positioned to face the fluid guide groove 124. When placed, it can be opened by the space of the fluid guide groove 124.
또한, 유체 유출구(112-1)는 중심홀(122)의 내면에 의해 폐쇄되었을 때 중심홀(122)의 내면 둘레를 따라 형성되는 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)에 의해 계속해서 유체를 유출시킬 수 있으며, 이에 회전 본체(120)에 계속적인 회전력을 제공할 수 있다. 이때, 유체 유출구(112-1)의 개폐에 따라 유출되는 유체량에는 차이가 있으며, 중심홀(122)에 의해 폐쇄되었을 때 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)으로 유출되는 유체량이 유체 가이드홈(124)에 의해 개방되었을 때 유출되는 유체량보다 적게 유출될 수 있다.In addition, when the fluid outlet 112-1 is closed by the inner surface of the central hole 122, fluid can continue to flow out by the fluid flow microgroove 140 formed along the inner circumference of the central hole 122. And, as a result, continuous rotational force can be provided to the rotating body 120. At this time, there is a difference in the amount of fluid flowing out depending on the opening and closing of the fluid outlet 112-1, and the amount of fluid flowing out into the fluid flow fine groove 140 when the central hole 122 is closed is the fluid guide groove 124. Less fluid may flow out than the amount that would flow out when opened.
즉, 상기 회전 본체(120)는 하부 본체(110)의 상부에서 회전 중심관(112)의 중심에 끼워지고, 하부 본체(110)의 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체의 압력에 의해 회전 중심관(112)을 기준으로 회전한다.That is, the rotating body 120 is inserted into the center of the rotating central pipe 112 at the upper part of the lower body 110, and is activated by the pressure of the fluid flowing out from the fluid outlet 112-1 of the lower body 110. It rotates based on the rotation center pipe (112).
또한, 회전 본체(120)는 회전 중심관(112)에 수용되도록 중심에 원형의 중심홀(122)이 형성되고, 중심홀(122)을 기준으로 나선 방향으로 유체 가이드홈(124)이 형성될 수 있다.In addition, the rotating body 120 has a circular central hole 122 formed at the center to be accommodated in the rotating center pipe 112, and a fluid guide groove 124 is formed in a spiral direction based on the central hole 122. You can.
이에 따라 상기 중심홀(122)은 상술한 바와 같이 회전 본체(120)의 회전에 의해 유체 유출구(112-1)를 개폐하여 유체의 반작용적인 압력을 발생시키고, 압력에 의해 회전 본체(120)에 계속적인 회전력을 발생시켜 맥동을 생성할 수 있다. 여기서 맥동은 유체 유출구(112-1)의 개폐에 따라 유체를 유출하면서 주기적으로 압력이 변화하여 맥박이 뛰는 것과 같이 흐르는 현상을 의미하는 것으로, 본 발명에서 예시한 샤워기 뿐만 아니라, 마사지 장치, 비데 등 다양한 장치에 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. Accordingly, as described above, the central hole 122 opens and closes the fluid outlet 112-1 by the rotation of the rotating body 120 to generate a reactive pressure of the fluid, and the pressure causes the rotating body 120 to Pulsations can be created by generating continuous rotational force. Here, pulsation refers to a phenomenon in which the pressure changes periodically while the fluid flows out according to the opening and closing of the fluid outlet 112-1, flowing like a pulse, not only in the shower exemplified in the present invention, but also in massage devices, bidets, etc. It can be usefully applied to various devices.
또한, 상기 중심홀(122)의 상부에는 내측 둘레를 따라 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)이 형성되어 유체 유출구(112-1)가 폐쇄되더라도 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)을 따라 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유체가 유출될 수 있도록 한다. 이에 유체가 끊김없이 계속적으로 유출되어 맥동을 생성하도록 한다.In addition, a fluid flow micro-groove 140 is formed along the inner circumference of the central hole 122, so that even if the fluid outlet 112-1 is closed, the fluid outlet 112-1 is formed along the fluid flow micro-groove 140. ) to allow fluid to flow out. Accordingly, the fluid continues to flow out without interruption, creating pulsation.
한편, 유체 가이드홈(124)은 회전 본체(120)의 중심홀(122)을 기준으로 나선 방향으로 형성되어 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체의 흐름을 가이드하는 구성으로, 중심홀(122)을 기준으로 적어도 두 개 이상 형성될 수 있다. 유체 가이드홈(124)은 중심홀(124)에서부터 하부 본체(110)와 회전 본체(120) 사이의 공간으로 유체가 흐르도록 하고, 이러한 흐름에 의해 회전 본체가 시계방향 또는 반시계 방향으로 회전하도록 할 수 있다.Meanwhile, the fluid guide groove 124 is formed in a spiral direction based on the central hole 122 of the rotating body 120 and guides the flow of fluid flowing out of the fluid outlet 112-1. The central hole ( 122), at least two or more can be formed. The fluid guide groove 124 allows fluid to flow from the central hole 124 to the space between the lower body 110 and the rotating body 120, and allows the rotating body to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by this flow. can do.
즉, 중심홀(122)과 유체 가이드홈(124)은 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체의 흐름을 가이드하여 유체의 반작용적인 압력을 생성하고, 이러한 압력으로 인해 별도의 동력장치를 추가할 필요없이 회전 본체(120)에 회전력을 제공하여 유체의 맥동을 생성할 수 있다.That is, the central hole 122 and the fluid guide groove 124 guide the flow of fluid flowing out of the fluid outlet 112-1 to generate a reactive pressure of the fluid, and a separate power device is added due to this pressure. Pulsation of the fluid can be generated by providing rotational force to the rotating body 120 without any need.
도 3을 참고하여 중심홀(122)과 유체 가이드홈(124)에 대하여 상세하게 살펴보면, 도 3(a)는 유체 유출구 (112-1)가 개방되어 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체가 유체 가이드홈(124)을 따라 흐르는 방향(WH)을 설명하는 도면으로, 이러한 유체의 흐름에 따라 회전 본체(120)가 회전하여 유체의 맥동이 생성될 수 있다. Looking at the central hole 122 and the fluid guide groove 124 in detail with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 3(a) shows the fluid flowing out from the fluid outlet 112-1 when the fluid outlet 112-1 is opened. This is a diagram illustrating the direction (WH) flowing along the fluid guide groove 124. The rotating body 120 rotates according to the flow of the fluid, thereby generating fluid pulsation.
한편, 도 3(b)는 회전 본체(120)의 회전에 따라 유체 유출구(112-1)가 폐쇄되어 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유출되는 유체가 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)을 따라 흐르는 방향(WH)을 설명하는 도면으로, 이러한 유체의 흐름에 따라 회전 본체(120)가 회전하여 유체의 맥동이 생성될 수 있다. 도 3에서 회전 본체(120)는 유체 유출구(112- 1)의 개폐가 반복됨에 따라 반시계 방향으로 회전하게 되고, 도 3b보다 도 3a에서 유출되는 유체량이 더 많은 것으로 도시(화살표 두께)되어 있다.Meanwhile, Figure 3(b) shows the direction in which the fluid outlet 112-1 is closed as the rotating body 120 rotates, and the fluid flowing out of the fluid outlet 112-1 flows along the fluid flow microgroove 140. This is a diagram explaining (WH), and the rotating body 120 rotates according to the flow of the fluid, thereby generating pulsation of the fluid. In FIG. 3, the rotating body 120 rotates counterclockwise as the fluid outlet 112-1 is repeatedly opened and closed, and the amount of fluid flowing out in FIG. 3A is shown to be greater than in FIG. 3B (arrow thickness). .
회전 덮개(130)는 회전 본체(120)의 상부에서 체결 수단(미도시)을 통해 결합되고, 회전 본체(120)의 회전 시 함께 회전할 수 있다. 회전 덮개(130)는 중앙에 회전 본체(120)의 중심홀(122)에 대응하도록 홀이 형성되고, 중앙의 홀을 기준으로 상부면에 복수의 저항 날개(132)가 배치될 수 있다. The rotating cover 130 is coupled to the upper part of the rotating body 120 through a fastening means (not shown) and can rotate together with the rotating body 120. The rotating cover 130 may have a hole formed in the center to correspond to the central hole 122 of the rotating body 120, and a plurality of resistance wings 132 may be disposed on the upper surface based on the central hole.
예를 들어, 복수의 저항 날개(132)는 일정 간격으로 배치될 수 있으며, 체결 수단(미도시)은 나사로 구현될 수 있다. 또한, 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)를 연결할 수 있는 구성이라면 접착제, 기계적 조립 방법 등도 적용가능하고, 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)를 일체형으로 형성할 수도 있다.For example, the plurality of resistance wings 132 may be arranged at regular intervals, and fastening means (not shown) may be implemented as screws. In addition, as long as the rotating body 120 and the rotating cover 130 can be connected, adhesives, mechanical assembly methods, etc. can be applied, and the rotating body 120 and the rotating cover 130 can be formed as one piece.
저항 날개(132)는 격벽으로 형성되어 회전 본체(120)의 회전 시 회전 덮개(130) 인근으로 흐르는 유체를 일부 막을 수 있어, 유체의 흐름을 제어하여 회전 본체(120)의 회전 속도를 조절할 수 있다.The resistance wing 132 is formed as a partition and can block some of the fluid flowing near the rotating cover 130 when the rotating body 120 rotates, thereby controlling the flow of fluid to adjust the rotational speed of the rotating body 120. there is.
한편, 저항 날개(132)는 필요에 따라 회전 본체(120)에 형성되지 않을 수 있으며, 이는 본 발명 단속장치를 구비한 유체의 맥동 발생 장치(100)를 응용하는 데 있어 구현상의 문제이므로, 저항 날개(132)의 유무는 필요에 따라 결정될 수 있다.On the other hand, the resistance wing 132 may not be formed on the rotating body 120 as needed, and this is an implementation problem in applying the fluid pulsation generator 100 equipped with the present invention control device, so the resistance wing 132 may not be formed on the rotating body 120 as needed. The presence or absence of wings 132 may be determined as needed.
유체 흐름 미세홈(140)은 회전 본체(120)의 중심홀(122) 상부 내부 둘레를 따라 형성되어 유체 유출구(112-1)의 폐쇄 시 유체의 계속적인 흐름을 제공한다. 유체 흐름 미세홈(140)은 유체 유출구(112-1)가 중심홀(122)에 의해 완전 폐쇄되지 않도록 하여 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유체가 계속 유출되도록 하고, 이에 따라 회전 본체(120)가 멈춤없이 회전가능하도록 할 수 있다.The fluid flow microgroove 140 is formed along the upper inner circumference of the central hole 122 of the rotating body 120 to provide continuous flow of fluid when the fluid outlet 112-1 is closed. The fluid flow microgroove 140 prevents the fluid outlet 112-1 from being completely closed by the central hole 122 so that the fluid continues to flow out from the fluid outlet 112-1, and thus the rotating body 120 It can be rotated without stopping.
압력 분산 부재(150)는 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)가 하부 본체(110)의 회전 중심관(112)에 끼워진 후 회전 중심관(112)의 분산 결합홈(112-2)에 수용되어 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)가 회전 시 회전 중심관(112)으로부터 이탈되지 않도록 할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 압력 분산 부재(150)는 플라스틱 재질의 와셔(washer) 또 는 금속 재질의 와셔 등으로 구현될 수 있다.The pressure dispersion member 150 is connected to the distribution coupling groove 112-2 of the rotation center pipe 112 after the rotation body 120 and the rotation cover 130 are inserted into the rotation center pipe 112 of the lower body 110. It can be accommodated so that the rotating body 120 and the rotating cover 130 do not separate from the rotating central pipe 112 when rotating. For example, the pressure distribution member 150 may be implemented as a plastic washer or a metal washer.
한편, 압력 분산 부재(150)와 분산 결합홈(112-2)의 형상 및 구성은 위에서 설명된 바와 같이 한정하고자 하는 것은 아니며, 회전 본체(120)와 회전 덮개(130)가 회전 중심관(112)으로부터 이탈되지 않는 구성이라면 어떠한 형상이라도 구현가능하다.Meanwhile, the shape and configuration of the pressure dispersion member 150 and the distribution coupling groove 112-2 are not intended to be limited as described above, and the rotating body 120 and the rotating cover 130 are connected to the rotating central pipe 112. ) Any shape can be implemented as long as it does not deviate from the structure.
이하, 도 4를 참조하여 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 단속장치 어셈블리의 구성 및 작동관계를 살펴보기로 한다. Hereinafter, the configuration and operational relationship of the control device assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention will be examined with reference to FIG. 4.
먼저, 도 4(a)는 사용자가 하부 본체(110)의 일측에 구비된 조작 레버(160A)를 누름 조작함에 따라 상기 조작 레버(160A)와 축 결합된 회동축 부재(170)가 회동축(171)을 중심으로 회전 덮개(130)와 멀어지는 방향으로 회동된다. 이 상태에서는 회동축 부재(170)의 래치(175)도 함께 회전 덮개(130)로부터 이격된 상태이므로 회전 덮개(130)의 회전이 차단 해제된 상태이다. 이 상태에서 회전 중심관(112)의 내부 중공(EM)으로 유체가 유입됨에 따라 회전 중심관(112)의 유체 유출구(112-1)로부터 유체가 토출되면서 회전 덮개(130)가 회전 및 맥동이 발생된다. 이에 따라, 사용자는 도 4(a)의 상태(맥동 모드)에서 샤워기 등에 적용된 본 발명을 통해 별도의 동력장치를 부가할 필요없이 맥동에 의한 마사지 또는 맥동 세정 기능 등을 실행할 수 있다.First, Figure 4(a) shows that when the user presses the operation lever 160A provided on one side of the lower body 110, the rotation axis member 170 coupled to the operation lever 160A is rotated ( 171) is rotated in a direction away from the rotating cover 130. In this state, the latch 175 of the rotating shaft member 170 is also spaced apart from the rotating cover 130, so the rotation of the rotating cover 130 is unblocked. In this state, as the fluid flows into the internal hollow (EM) of the rotation center pipe 112, the fluid is discharged from the fluid outlet (112-1) of the rotation center pipe 112, causing the rotation cover 130 to rotate and pulsate. occurs. Accordingly, the user can perform a massage or pulsation cleaning function by pulsation without the need to add a separate power device through the present invention applied to a shower, etc. in the state (pulsation mode) of FIG. 4(a).
한편, 도 4(b)는 사용자가 하부 본체(110)의 일측에 구비된 조작 레버(160A)를 다시 누름 조작함에 따라 이번에는 상기 조작 레버(160A)와 축 결합된 회동축 부재(170)가 회동축(171)을 중심으로 회전 덮개(130)와 가까워지는 방향으로 회동된다. 이 상태에서는 회동축 부재(170)의 래치(175)도 함께 회전 덮개(130)쪽으로 회동되면서 상기 래치(175)에 회전 덮개(130)의 스토퍼돌기(135)가 걸림되므로 상기 회전 덮개(130)의 회전이 차단된다. 이 상태에서 회전 중심관(112)의 내부 중공(EM)으로 유체가 유입되더라도 회전 덮개(130)가 래치(175)에 의해 걸림되어 회전하지 못하므로 맥동이 발생되지 않는다. 이에 따라, 사용자는 도 4(b)와 같은 상태(비맥동 모드)에서 맥동이 제거된 일반적인 샤워기 등의 제품을 이용할 수 있다.Meanwhile, Figure 4(b) shows that as the user presses the operation lever 160A provided on one side of the lower body 110 again, this time the rotation axis member 170 axially coupled to the operation lever 160A It is rotated around the rotation axis 171 in a direction closer to the rotation cover 130. In this state, the latch 175 of the rotating shaft member 170 is also rotated toward the rotating cover 130, and the stopper projection 135 of the rotating cover 130 is caught by the latch 175, so that the rotating cover 130 rotation is blocked. In this state, even if fluid flows into the internal hollow (EM) of the rotating center pipe 112, the rotating cover 130 is caught by the latch 175 and cannot rotate, so no pulsation is generated. Accordingly, the user can use products such as a general shower head from which pulsation has been removed in the state (non-pulsation mode) shown in FIG. 4(b).
도 5는 본 발명 단속장치를 구비한 유체의 맥동 발생 장치를 다른 실시예에 따라 도시한 분해 사시도이고, 도 6은 도 5의 요부 종단면도이며, 도 7은 도 5의 다른 실시예에 따른 단속장치 어셈블리 구성을 보인 횡단면도로서, (a)는 제1 연통공이 개방됨에 따라 유체의 유입으로 회전 덮개가 회전되면서 맥동이 발생되는 상태, (b)는 제1 연통공이 폐쇄됨에 따라 회전 덮개가 회전되지 못하여 맥동이 발생되지 않는 상태이다.Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a fluid pulsation generating device equipped with the control device of the present invention according to another embodiment, Figure 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the main part of Figure 5, and Figure 7 is a control device according to another embodiment of Figure 5. A cross-sectional view showing the device assembly configuration, (a) is a state in which pulsation is generated as the rotating cover is rotated due to the inflow of fluid as the first communication hole is opened, and (b) is a state in which the rotating cover is not rotated as the first communication hole is closed. This is a state in which no pulsation occurs.
이하, 상기 도 5 내지 도 7을 참조하여 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 단속장치를 구비한 유체의 맥동 발생 장치의 구성 및 작동 관계를 살펴보기로 한다.

Bypass members 180 each having a second communication hole 180-2 directly communicating therewith; And one end is axially coupled to the operation lever (160B) to selectively block the first communication hole (180-1) or the second communication hole (180-2) as the user operates the operation lever (160B). It may be composed of a valve member 190.
또한, 상기 밸브 부재(190)의 일단은 회동축(192)을 구성하며, 밸브 부재(190)의 타단에는 볼 시트(ball seat, 193, 도 5 및 도 6 참조) 및 상기 볼 시트(193)에 탄성을 부가하는 스프링(194, 도 6 참조)이 더 구비됨으로써 상기 볼 시트(193)가 제1 연통공(180-1) 또는 제2 연통공(180-2)에 탄력적으로 접촉된다.In addition, one end of the valve member 190 constitutes a rotation axis 192, and the other end of the valve member 190 is provided with a ball seat 193 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) and the ball seat 193. A spring 194 (see FIG. 6) that adds elasticity is further provided so that the ball seat 193 elastically contacts the first communication hole 180-1 or the second communication hole 180-2.
이하, 도 7을 참조하여 다른 실시예에 따른 단속장치 어셈블리의 작동관계를 살펴보면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, the operational relationship of the control device assembly according to another embodiment is as follows.
먼저, 도 7(a)는 사용자가 조작 레버(160B)를 손으로 잡고 반시계 방향으로 회전 조작함에 따라 밸브 부재(190)도 함께 동일한 방향으로 회동된다. 이에 따라 도 7(a)에서 도시된 바와 같이 상기 밸브 부재(190)의 회동에 따라 바이패스 부재(180)의 제1 연통공(180-1)은 개방되는 한편, 제2 연통공(180-2)은 밸브 부재(190)에 의해 폐쇄된다. 이때, 상기 개방된 제1 연통공(180-1) 및 회전 중심관(112)으로 유체가 유입되면서 상기 회전 중심관(112)의 유체 유출구(112-1)를 통해 토출되는 유체에 의해 회전 덮개(130)가 회전되면서 맥동이 발생된다. (맥동 모드)First, in Figure 7(a), as the user holds the operation lever 160B with his hand and rotates it counterclockwise, the valve member 190 is also rotated in the same direction. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7(a), the first communication hole 180-1 of the bypass member 180 is opened as the valve member 190 rotates, while the second communication hole 180- 2) is closed by the valve member 190. At this time, as fluid flows into the open first communication hole 180-1 and the rotating central pipe 112, the cover rotates due to the fluid discharged through the fluid outlet 112-1 of the rotating central pipe 112. As (130) rotates, pulsation is generated. (pulsation mode)
한편, 도 7(b)는 사용자가 조작 레버(160B)를 시계 방향으로 반대로 회전 조작함에 따라 밸브 부재(190)도 함께 동일한 방향으로 회동된다. 이에 따라 도 7(b)에서 도시된 바와 같이 바이패스 부재(180)의 제1 연통공(180-1)은 밸브 부재(190)에 의해 폐쇄되는 한편, 제2 연통공(180-2)은 개방된다. 이때, 상기 개방된 제2 연통공(180-2) 및 하부 본체(110)의 내부 공간부(미도시)로 유체가 유입되는데, 이 경우에는 유체가 상기 도 7(a)에서와 같이 회전 중심관(112)으로 유입되지 못하게 되므로 회전 덮개(130)도 회전되지 못하여 결국 맥동이 발생되지 않게 된다. (비맥동 모드=일반 모드)Meanwhile, in Figure 7(b), as the user rotates the operation lever 160B counterclockwise, the valve member 190 is also rotated in the same direction. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the first communication hole 180-1 of the bypass member 180 is closed by the valve member 190, while the second communication hole 180-2 is closed. It is open. At this time, fluid flows into the open second communication hole 180-2 and the inner space (not shown) of the lower body 110. In this case, the fluid is rotated at the center of rotation as shown in FIG. 7(a). Since it is prevented from flowing into the pipe 112, the rotating cover 130 cannot be rotated and ultimately no pulsation is generated. (Non-pulsating mode = normal mode)
따라서, 본 발명에 따른 단속장치를 구비한 유체의 맥동 발생 장치(100)를 샤워기의 샤워 헤드에 적용한 경우, 사용자가 하부 본체의 일측에 구비된 조작 레버(160A, 160B)를 간단히 수동 조작함에 따라 유체의 유압만을 이용하여 회전 본체(120)를 회전시켜 맥동 수류를 토출하는 맥동 모드를 실행할 수 있다. 한편, 사용자가 맥동 모드를 오프하고자 할 경우에는 조작 레버(160A, 160B)를 다시 반대 방향으로 수동 조작함에 따라 이번에는 맥동을 발생시키지 않는 비맥동 모드(일반 모드)로 전환할 수 있다. Therefore, when the fluid pulsation generating device 100 equipped with the control device according to the present invention is applied to the shower head of a shower, the user simply manually operates the operating levers 160A and 160B provided on one side of the lower body. A pulsation mode can be executed in which the rotating body 120 is rotated using only the hydraulic pressure of the fluid to discharge a pulsating water stream. Meanwhile, when the user wants to turn off the pulsation mode, the operation levers 160A and 160B can be manually operated in the opposite direction again to switch to a non-pulsation mode (normal mode) that does not generate pulsation.
일례로, 상기 맥동 모드에서 생성되는 맥동 수류는 상기와 같이 샤워기와 직접 연결하면 두드리는 물살이 구현되어 마사지가 가능하게 되고 세정력이 우수한 형태의 효과를 얻을 수 있으며, 한편 구강 관리 용품인 워터픽의 노즐만 연결한다면 잇몸의 마사지가 가능한 맥동하는 물살의 형태를 간단하게 구현할 수 있어 다양한 분야의 제품에 마사지, 세정 기능 등을 부가할 수 있는 이점을 얻을 수 있다.For example, when the pulsating water flow generated in the pulsation mode is directly connected to the shower as described above, a pounding water stream is realized, enabling massage and achieving the effect of excellent cleaning power. Meanwhile, the nozzle of the Waterpick, an oral care product, If you just connect it, you can easily create a pulsating water current that can massage the gums, giving you the advantage of adding massage and cleaning functions to products in various fields.
아울러 본 발명은 단지 앞서 기술된 일 실시예에 의해서만 한정된 것은 아니며, 장치의 세부 구성이나 개수 및 배치 구조를 변경할 때에도 동일한 효과를 창출할 수 있는 것이므로 당해 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자라면 본 발명의 기술적 사상의 범주 내에서 다양한 구성의 부가 및 삭제, 변형이 가능한 것임을 명시하는 바이다.In addition, the present invention is not limited to just one embodiment described above, and the same effect can be created even when changing the detailed configuration, number, and arrangement structure of the device, so those skilled in the art will understand the present invention. It is stated that addition, deletion, and modification of various configurations are possible within the scope of the technical idea.
본 발명은 유체의 맥동 발생 장치 분야에 광범위하게 사용될 수 있다.The present invention can be widely used in the field of fluid pulsation generating devices.
