VALVE FOR CHANGING FLOW PATHS IN WATER SOFTENER

摘要

A flow change valve of a water softener is provided to decentralize water pressure applied intensively to a lower flow change plate, thereby preventing water from leaking near the flow change valve. A plurality of flow holes(51a) are formed in an upper flow change plate(51). A lower flow change plate(52) is closely attached to a bottom surface of the upper flow change plate such that the lower flow change plate is rotatable. The lower flow change plate has a flow groove formed in an upper surface thereof, wherein the flow groove selectively communicates with two or more flow holes according to a rotation angle of the lower flow change plate. A first water hole(510) is formed in the upper flow change plate, and a second water hole(520) is formed in the lower flow change plate. Further, the first water hole is formed with the flow holes side by side.
