    DESCRIPTION
    Cartridge for mixer taps Object of the invention
    The present specification refers, as its title indicates, to a cartridge for single-lever faucets of the type used in water mixer taps, which in addition to the hot and cold water inlets and water outlet, incorporates in the lower ceramic disk an evacuation recess, intended to derive water, in collaboration with the upper ceramic disk, through grooves in the cartridge housing, outwards, through a perforation made in the body of a mixer tap, integrating the cartridge the functions of opening, closing and emptying in a single mechanism.
    The object of the invention is to be able to release the water retained in the water pipes to any single-lever shower system, both a column and a flexible hose or internal or external conduction, usually used to drive the water to a sprayer, to eliminate after the use of tap uncontrolled water discharges, drips and the proliferation of bacteria commonly generated in stagnant water, such as legionella.
    Background of the invention
    Currently, in the water pipes installed in the shower column taps, sprinklers, shower hoses and systems with recessed pipes, they have the disadvantage that when the water inlet flow is closed, a small volume is retained in them. which can cause the proliferation of bacteria and other microorganisms that develop easily with a high degree of humidity.
    Another drawback that is generated in sprinklers is that the water that is retained inside, in equilibrium with atmospheric pressure; After a while, the discharge of water occurs, rushing to the shower area, and may cause discomfort to the user.
    Currently, a wide variety of single lever faucet cartridges are known in the market, developed for the entry of cold or hot water and an outlet for mixed or hot or cold water according to the user's needs, but a cartridge that also includes The possibility of emptying.
    For example, in the Spanish utility model U9501191, an adjustment device is described in single-lever cartridges, for hot / cold water mixers whereby the necessary sealing between the components of the cartridge is achieved, through sealing joints, without this makes it difficult to drive the mobile ceramic disk, but without including the possibility of emptying.
    In the Spanish utility model U9902934, a mixing valve, or cartridge of type is described
    conventional with a fixed ceramic disk, provided with a cold water inlet opening, an opening of
    hot water inlet and a water outlet opening, disposed on said fixed disk, determining the rotation of the displaceable disc the exit of cold and / or hot water and the movement in a diametral direction of said displaceable disc the flow of water leaving of said valve, in which the distribution opening of said movable disk is displaced to one side of the disk, so that in the centered position of the actuating lever said distribution opening is located only above said cold water inlet opening and said water outlet opening, only cold water leaving the mixing valve when said lever is operated.
    Another example is shown in utility model U200100112, which describes a single-lever mixing valve, of the conventional type with a drive lever; a movable ceramic disk provided with a distribution opening and which is linked to said actuating lever; and a fixed ceramic disk
    arranged under said movable disk, provided with a cold water inlet opening, an opening of
    hot water inlet and a water outlet opening, determining the rotation of the displaceable disc the cold and / or hot water outlet and the movement in a diametral direction of said movable the water flow leaving said valve, incorporating means of water outlet pressure regulation.
    The cartridges described in the mentioned utility models U9902934 and U200100112, are oriented towards saving water and energy, but not including the possibility of emptying.
    Another solution provided for the evacuation of water can be found in the Spanish utility model U201430102 where automatic emptying device is described but only indicated for timed taps.

    Description of the invention
    In order to solve the current problem, a single-lever faucet cartridge has been devised, including a drive block, a housing, a housing closing base with gaskets, an upper ceramic disk and a lower ceramic disk, incorporating in the lower ceramic disc an evacuation recess to derive the water, in collaboration with the upper ceramic disc, towards the outside, through slots made in the cartridge housing in communication with a perforation practiced in the body of a mixer tap , integrating the cartridge the functions of opening, closing and emptying in a single mechanism.
    The slots made in the cartridge housing are positioned with a perforation made in the body of a mixer tap to be able to empty the water outside.
    The lower ceramic disk comprises two through holes, water inlet, positioned very close to its outer diameter, and slightly separated from each other, which correspond to the hot and cold water intake, a through hole of water outlet, positioned around its geometric center and a water evacuation recess, configured as a circular segment positioned in line with the exit hole and centered with the through torn holes.
    The upper ceramic disk comprises a torn cavity, which, when the drive block is at rest or closed, is positioned centered with the through hole of water outlet and with the water drain recess, so that after the use of a mixer tap, when closing it, the water retained in the ducts would go outside, through a perforation in the body of a mixer tap in collaboration with the evacuation recess.
    The configuration of the ceramic discs corresponds to a preferential design, but design alternatives of those known in the closing systems for ceramic discs that, with different configuration, would allow the same behavior would be equally valid.
    The cartridge drive is developed by a classic operation, so that when the drive block is activated through the corresponding handle of the mixer tap
    • hot and cold water flow is requested simultaneously,
    • or only hot water when turning the drive block to the left side
    • or only cold water when turning the drive block to the right side
    • or closing movement, in which the hot and cold water are closed, where when the
    closing, the use water circuit to the shower or exit communicates with the evacuation recess,
    directing the water to the outside, thus eliminating drips, uncontrolled discharges and proliferations of bacteria commonly generated in stagnant water, such as legionella.
    Advantages of the invention
    This cartridge for mixer taps, which is presented, provides multiple advantages over those currently available, the most important being that the lower ceramic disk is configured with a water drain, to derive the water, in collaboration with the upper ceramic disk, towards the outside, through slots in the cartridge housing, in communication with a perforation in the body of a mixer tap, integrating the functions of opening, closing and emptying in a single mechanism, thus eliminating drips, uncontrolled discharges and bacterial proliferations of those commonly generated in standing water, such as legionella,
    Another advantage of the most important is that the cartridge by integrating in a single mechanism the functions of opening, closing and emptying, also achieves that the residual water tends to a rapid evaporation when the pipes are in contact with the air, thanks to the outward conduction through the drain hole.
