Description

Upper construction type faucet

The present invention relates to a faucet used in a sink and a washbasin, and more particularly, to an upper construction type faucet that can be constructed on the upper side of the sink or washbasin.

A faucet, also called a faucet, is a device that supplies water by attaching to the water supply point at the end of the water supply pipe. It has various names depending on the structure, use, and installation location. It is divided into a wall mount for installation and a wall mount for installation, and products such as water change, water saving type, connecting hose replacement, and head replacement are sold and installed in the market.

If we look further into the types of faucets, we have a ball-type faucet that controls the flow and temperature of water with a handle by installing a porous ball inside, and a disc faucet and a disk faucet with two porous disks inserted to control the flow and temperature of water. There is a cartridge faucet having a porous disk and a cartridge rod installed, and in addition, various types of faucets are being remodeled, improved and developed.

The faucets above are installed in sinks and bathrooms, and they are used more frequently than other faucets in the house, so their lifespan is short. The time comes when the water supply system control function is broken and needs to be replaced.

Therefore, it must be replaced periodically, and unless the plumbing work is renewed, the same type as the existing one must be selected.

However, since the conventional faucets are all replaced on the lower side of the sink, there are many interfering parts such as pipes, so it is difficult to replace them.

Accordingly, although a faucet replaceable from the upper side has been developed in the prior art, it has a problem in that it takes a lot of time and labor because the number of parts is large and the replacement is complicated.

1 or 2, the upper construction type faucet according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the faucet body 100 installed in the sink or washbasin to be installed from the upper side using the coupling means 200. characterized in that

Here, for convenience of description, the installation in the sink 20 will be described as an example.

The upper construction type faucet includes a faucet body 100 from which water is largely discharged, and a coupling means 200 that helps the faucet body 100 to be constructed from the upper side of the sink 20, and the coupling means Reference numeral 200 includes a base nut 210 installed in the construction hole 22 again, and a base shank 220 that is inserted and installed in the base nut 210 .

The faucet body 100 is installed in the sink 20 to discharge tap water, and a valve body 110 for controlling water supply through the valve, and a body support for supporting the valve body 110 ( It consists of a body support, 120, and a head 130 for discharging water.

And although not shown, a plurality of cold and hot water pipes connected from the body support 120 to the valve sea 110 may be connected and installed.

Here, since the faucet body 100 is a general faucet, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, at least one horizontal screw hole 122 is formed in the body support 120 for coupling with the coupling means 200 , and the set screw 140 is fastened to the horizontal screw hole 122 to thereby couple the coupling means. (200) and can be fixed.

And when the coupling means 200 is described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 , the coupling means 200 is to be installed in the construction hole 22 of the sink 20 from the upper side, and the construction hole The base nut 210 and the base nut 210 that are installed in close contact on the upper surface with the 22 at the center are inserted and screwed inward, and the base shank 220 is coupled to the construction hole 22. can

First, the base nut 210 is made of a metal mold and supported on the upper surface of the construction hole 22, the upper and lower ends are opened, the upper side has a polygonal nut shape, and the inner thread is along the vertical direction. It can be composed of a nut body 212 that is continuously formed, and a hole fixing part 214 that is integrally connected from the nut body 212 and is supported on the upper surface with the construction hole 22 as the center and the diameter is enlarged to the bottom. have.

Therefore, the hole fixing portion 214 is preferably formed larger than the diameter of the construction hole (22).

And the hole fixing part 214 is formed by stepping the annular stepped groove 214a on the inside, and the packing 216 is installed in the annular stepped groove 214a to increase sealing force.

The packing 216 may have a ring shape having a certain thickness and may be made of rubber or urethane.

The base shank 220 is inserted and installed into the base nut 210, and may be made of a synthetic resin material or a metal material having relatively elasticity. , the screw thread may be screwed to correspond to the inner screw thread of the base nut 210 .

In addition, a plurality of vertical cut-out grooves 222 are formed along the circumferential direction from the middle part of the base shank 220 , and may be partitioned by the cut-out grooves 222 to form the coupling part 224 .

The number of coupling parts 224 is at least about 4 to 6, and as shown, about 6 may be preferable.

Furthermore, the coupling portion 224 is formed with a hook-shaped stepped portion 224a having an inclined surface to face upward, and the stepped portion 224a penetrates the construction hole 22, and then spreads out to the construction hole 22. It is located on the lower surface of the to prevent the upward escape.

Meanwhile, a cylindrical inner pipe 230 may be further installed inside the base shank 220 coupled to the base nut 210 to support the coupling portion 224 .

The assembly of the upper construction type faucet according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 5 .

First, the packing 216 is positioned in the annular stepped groove 214a of the base nut 210 , and the base shank 220 is inserted through the inside of the base nut 210 .

At this time, the screw fastening of the base nut 210 and the base shank 220 is made, but not in a fully fastened state, and fastening is made only to the extent that the stepped part 224a of the coupling part 224 protrudes.

The base nut 210 and the base shank 220 assembled as described above are pushed into the construction hole 22 from the upper side, and as the coupling part 224 of the base shank 220 is closed, the construction hole 22 After passing through, the constricted coupling portion 224 is unfolded again, and the stepped portion 224a is in close contact with the bottom surface of the construction hole 22 to prevent upward separation.

In the following state, the inner pipe 230 is inserted into the base shank 220 , and the inner pipe 230 is installed up to the inner end surface of the coupling part 224 .

When the inner pipe 230 is installed, the fastening force with the base shank 220 is increased while the base nut 210 is tightened, and the base nut 210 is brought into close contact with the sink 20 .

Here, the inner pipe 230 may prevent deformation by supporting the cut coupling portion 224 of the base shark 230 .

When the fastening is completed as described above, the faucet body 100 is inserted from the upper side to include the base nut 210 , and the insertion degree is made up to the upper surface of the hole fixing part 214 of the base nut 210 .

And the set screw 140 is fastened with the horizontal screw hole 122 to be pressed against the base nut 210, and the separation of the faucet body 100 can be prevented.

According to the above-mentioned bar, when the first installation and replacement of the faucet body 100, the construction was performed at the lower side of the sink 20 at the cost of inconvenience using the coupling means 200 at the upper side of the sink 20. Easy construction is possible, and time and cost can be saved.

The embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the present specification and drawings are merely provided for specific examples to easily explain the technical contents of the present invention and to help the understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments according to the present invention described above are merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent ranges of embodiments are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the following claims.
