In general, a faucet is installed in a kitchen sink or a bathroom sink to supply hot and cold water by manipulating the water supplied from the hydrant whenever necessary.

The faucet bracket is a two-handle type which opens and closes a faucet for cold and hot water respectively, and has a single disc lever mounted with a CDF (Ceramic Disc Faucet seal) and a cartridge and operated by a single lever. A manual operation is gradually carried out from the autism type that the water comes out for a certain time by pressing it once, and the one-touch type that automatically attaches the water (water supply) and the exponent (water block) by attaching a human sensor. Has been converted to electronically controlled, making it easier to use and saving water.

Among them, the single-lever type faucet bracket most commonly used is composed of a main body formed to supply cold and hot water respectively from cold and hot water pipes, and a lever installed in the main body to control the water and to select cold and hot water. The lever rotates left and right to select cold or hot water or raise and lower the lever up and down to adjust the amount of water to be supplied and shut off.

Since the single-lever faucet bracket must be manually adjusted using the lever as described above, the user must not only adjust the proper water temperature and the proper quantity at all times, but also has to adjust the amount of water discharged as needed. There was a feeling.

The automatic faucet bracket, which is used in recent years with the single lever faucet bracket, sets the water temperature and quantity at a constant value in the control unit, and automatically discharges water and an index by an IR sensor. Since the same water temperature and quantity of water are supplied regardless of the user, there is a problem that all users cannot meet the desired temperature and quantity.

In addition, the automatic faucet bracket continuously discharges water for a certain time even if the user releases the hand, and causes unnecessary waste of water. Also, as the water closes rapidly, a water hammer is generated due to the increase in the maximum pressure. It shortens the life and has the disadvantage of generating vibration and noise.

The present invention is designed to solve the above problems, the user can adjust the amount to the required amount when using the faucet, economically efficient, easy to operate and at the same time to facilitate the use of the faucet bracket The purpose is to provide a faucet bracket for extending the life.
