Method for Manufacturing Faucet and Faucet Produced Thereby

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a faucet including the steps of: preparing metallic parts and non-metallic parts, the non-metallic parts having a manifold, and cool and hot water flow path pipes; coupling the cool and hot water flow path pipes to the manifold or coupling the cool and hot water flow path pipes to flow connection members and the manifold; molding the manifold in such a manner as to inject a liquid type ABS resin into a space portion of a double injection mold and to fill the space portion with the ABS resin, so that the manifold to which the cool and hot water flow path pipes are coupled is surrounded with a body; and assembling the body in which the manifold coupled to the cool and hot water flow path pipes is accommodated to other parts constituting the faucet.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean 1 application 10-2014-0068078 filed on Jun. 5, 2014 and entitled “Method for Manufacturing Faucet and Faucet Produced Thereby,” the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a controlling valve (hereinafter, which is referred to as ‘faucet’), and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a faucet mounted on a wash basin, bathtub, shower, and kitchen sink to supply water therefrom and to a faucet produced by the method.[0004]2. Background of the Related Art[0005]Generally, a faucet is mounted on a wash basin, bathtub, shower, and kitchen sink to supply hot and cool water to a user, while being cooperatively operated with a boiler.[0006]That is, the faucet is connected to the front end portions of buried cool and hot water pipes, irrespec...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a method for manufacturing a faucet that can reduce manufacturing costs, prevent harmful components from being supplied to the user, and improve productivity through double injection molding while decreasing failure rates in the manufacturing process.

Problems solved by technology

However, the molding work for making the body of the faucet may cause serious environmental pollution, and further, harmful components (graphite and impurities) may remain on the body of the faucet according to the characteristics of the molding work, so that when the faucet is used as a product, the harmful components may be mixed with the water discharged from the faucet.

Additionally, since the molding work for the faucet is generally conducted in weak circumstances, manufacturers are reluctant to do the molding work.

On the other hand, while the body of the faucet is being used as a product for a long period of time, it may be decayed to a higher degree than that of the body of the faucet as an initial product due to tap water, thus causing serious sanitary problems.

When hot water is used, moreover, heat is fast transmitted to the faucet body made of brass, and at this time, if the old and the weak or the children are contacted with the hot faucet body, they may easily get burnt.

Since the faucet made of the synthetic resin does not have any molding work, it can solve the above-mentioned problems and can be easily made, thus enhancing the manufacturing cost and the productivity, but while the faucet made of the synthetic resin is being frequently contacted with cool and hot water, harmful components of the synthetic resin may be supplied to a user, in the state of being contained in the cool and hot water, due to the chemical reaction with chlorine contained in water.
