Description

1 TARIFF WATER FAUCET WITH GRADUAL WATER FLOW CONTROL Technical Area 5 The invention relates to the technical field of sanitary fittings, specifically for sinks, washbasins, showers, and similar applications. It relates to the water tap fixtures used. The invention is particularly effective at saving water by gradually controlling the amount of water flow. It relates to the water supply faucet fixture. State of the Art In current plumbing fixtures, water flow is mostly via a free-moving cartridge. 15 It is controlled by a mechanism. In the cartridges in question, the user lifts the lever upwards. As the arm is raised, the flow cross-section widens and the water flow rate increases. When the arm is lowered... However, the flow cross-section narrows and the flow rate decreases. This structure completely eliminates flow control. It leaves it to the user's dexterity and momentary preference. Therefore, this situation, Especially in short daily uses such as brushing teeth and washing hands, users 20 This leads to turning the water on excessively and wasting water. Some fittings found in current technology have flow-limiting aerators or pressure regulators. Water consumption is being reduced by using water-lowering devices. However, this The solutions maintain the flow rate at a constant level of 25, independent of user control. This reduces the flow rate. The user cannot switch to a higher flow rate when needed. Therefore, such solutions are not ergonomic and reduce user comfort. Today, some advanced lighting fixtures have a single stopping point. This stopping point The point where the arm feels a slight resistance at a certain angle is 30 degrees mid-level in the water. This encourages opening up. However, these systems only reach a single level of savings. It has and does not offer the user different flow rate levels. Also, a stopping point. Because it generally provides a soft feel, it can be easily overcome by the user and The cost-saving effect remains limited. 35 2 Mechanisms that provide stepped flow control are generally found in industrial valves. or are used in multi-stage hydraulic control systems. These systems These are complex, large-volume structures that are difficult to adapt to residential and commercial fixtures. A compact, low-cost, and cartridge-integrated step for use. Flow control mechanisms are not commonly found. 5 Consequently, the current technology restricts water flow in multiple stages. directly integrated into the standard cartridge structure, giving the user a sense of physical pause. a fixture that can be adjusted, making savings levels repeatable and mechanically constant. There is no solution. These shortcomings affect both water conservation and usage. 10 This creates a need for a new technical solution in terms of ergonomics. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions, This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field. Purpose of the Invention The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and contributes to the relevant technical field. This relates to water tap fittings with stepped water flow control, which offer new advantages. The main purpose of the invention is to control and restrict water flow at specific levels. A water tap with incremental water flow control providing repeatable flow management. The goal is to reveal the fixture. The purpose of the invention is to create a free-moving or only 25-inch machine with the prior art. Unlike cartridges with a single stop point, the movement of the tap handle by creating noticeable and difficult-to-overcome mechanical stopping points in the water It is repeatable and in fixed increments at 25%, 50%, 75%, and fully open levels. The goal is to create a water tap fitting that allows for its restriction. Another aim of the invention is to provide multi-stage flow, which is not found in existing fittings. its control is a compact and fully mechanical system compatible with standard cartridge structures. by providing it through a stratification component for domestic, commercial and public use. The goal is to develop a water tap fixture that increases water conservation at these points. 35 3 To fulfill all the purposes mentioned above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation.

Accordingly, a water tap fitting, in its most basic form, consists of the following main structures: The tap body which forms and delivers the water flow to the user through the outlet (60) (10), on the tap body (10) the user controls the water flow and the transition between levels The movable control lever (20) that enables it to be controlled is inside the tap body (10) 5 Step mechanism forming the flow stages (30), tap body (10) inside, hot and cold water from cold water inlet line (70) and hot water inlet line (80) The step mechanism provides the mixing and basic on / off function. Ceramic cartridge (40) that regulates water passage according to the location determined by (30), Water passage according to the flow rate stages determined by the stage mechanism (30) 10 flow control that enlarges or narrows the cross-section and provides different flow rates at each stage. element (50), faucet body (10) for sink, washbasin or similar sanitary fitting assembly The fixing nut (90) connecting to the surface of the tap body (10) sanitary fittings Seal group (110) that ensures a leak-proof and stable fit on the mounting surface It includes. 15 The tap body (10) which forms the main structure of the water tap fitting subject to the invention fixing nut (90) for sink, washbasin or similar sanitary fitting mounting surface It is mechanically connected by means of. On the tap body (10), 20 movable parts that allow the user to control the water flow and transition between levels There is a control lever (20). A step mechanism that creates flow rate stages inside the tap body (10) (30) is installed. The said step mechanism (30) is shown in Figure 2. A rotating shaft (31) connected to the control lever (20) in the center of the tap body (10), 25 The tap body (10) is connected to the rotating shaft (31) and via the rotating shaft (32). The flow limiter disc (32) that rotates is located on the flow limiter disc (32). located within the area step slots (321) and the flow limiting disc (32) by rotational movement, it exits the current stage slot (321) and moves to the next stage slot. (321) by sitting in position, the flow limiter disc (32) at certain angular positions 30 enabling the pause and mechanical fixing of these angular steps. Indexing ball (33), continuous indexing ball (33) in step slots (321) By applying pressure, the indexing ball (33) is securely placed into the step slots (321). It contains a step spring (34) that enables it to sit. 35 6 The step mechanism (30) is moved by the user's control lever (20). by turning the rotating shaft (31) inside the tap body (10) It works on the principle of moving the flow limiting disc (32) to specific angular positions. When the user rotates the joystick (20), the rotating shaft (31) rotates around its own axis. By rotating, it moves the flow limiter disc (32) in the same direction. Flow limiter 5 continuously pressed by the step spring (34) during the rotation of the disk (32) Indexing ball (33), current stage on flow limiting disc (32) coming out of its housing (321) and in the direction of the angular movement of the flow limiting disc (32). It is directed to the next stage slot (321). The flow limiter disc (32) has a certain position. When it reaches the angular position, the indexing ball (33) is under pressure of the step spring (34) 10 By fitting into the new stage housing (321), the flow limiter disc (32) is in this angular position It causes a pause. Thanks to this mechanical interaction, the step mechanism (30) is driven by the rotating shaft (31). It converts the continuous rotational motion provided into specific angular increments, and each 15 The stage housing (321) has a repeatable angular position of the flow limiter disc (32). This makes it possible to fix it. Thus, the user can fix the control lever (20) in any position. When the step mechanism (30) moves, the step of the indexing ball (33) By settling into its socket (321), it creates a perceptible stopping point and step The transitions occur at mechanically defined angular positions. 20 Angular defined by the step mechanism (30) of the flow limiting disc (32) their positions allow for different flow levels within the hydraulic structure of the water tap. It creates mechanical step points that allow for its achievement. The initial angularity of the flow limiting disk (32) in the 0th stage (a) shown in Figure 3. It is located in a position where the water flows through the open space. In the first stage (b), the flow limiting disc (32) is moved to the next angular position, water It creates a stopping point where the flow occurs at a lower level. 30 In the first stage (b), water savings are at the level of 25%. In the 2nd stage (c), the flow limiting disc (32) moves to a more advanced angular position, water A stage is achieved where the flow is further reduced. In stage 2 (c) water saving It is at 50%. 35 7 In the 3rd stage, the disc (32) reaches an even further angular position, minimizing the water flow. A level is provided where the water level is reduced to 75%. In the 3rd level (c), water savings are 75%. It is at that level. Angular positions of the flow limiter disc (32) geometric 5 of the stage slots (321) depending on the sequence, the step mechanism (30) can be repeated at the stop points It ensures that it is fixed and the user moves the joystick (20) each time These angular steps created by the step mechanism (30) are perceptible. It is perceived in this way. The ceramic cartridge (40), located inside the tap body (10), is connected to the cold water inlet. mixing the water from line (70) and hot water inlet line (80) to open-close the base it performs its function and is determined by the step mechanism (30). It regulates water flow depending on the angular position. A flow control element (50) is located inside the ceramic cartridge (40). The flow control element (50) controls the water passage depending on the position of the flow limiting disc (32). enlarging or narrowing its cross-section, thus providing different flow rates at each angular step. It allows for the achievement of these levels. Water flow is directed through the tap body (10) and through the outlet (60). is delivered to the user. The outlet (60) is controlled by the flow control element (50). the specified flow level is transmitted to the external environment in a smooth flow form. It provides. The sink can be fitted with the fixing nut (90) located at the bottom of the faucet body (10), It is mechanically attached to a sink or similar sanitary fitting surface and The tap body (10) with the gasket assembly (100) placed under the fixing nut (90) Water leaks are prevented by ensuring a leak-proof and stable fit on the mounting surface.
