FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a liquid discharge device according to one example. InFIG. 1 , a high-pressure washer which discharges a liquid at high pressure is illustrated as an example of the liquid discharge device. It is assumed that aliquid discharge device 1 illustrated inFIG. 1 is used in a state where theliquid discharge device 1 is carried on the back by an operator using a backpack band or the like, or in a state where theliquid discharge device 1 is carried on the shoulder by the operator using a shoulder belt or the like. Incidentally, theliquid discharge device 1 may be used in a state where theliquid discharge device 1 is placed on the ground or the like. InFIG. 1 , a side surface of theliquid discharge device 1, which is a side close to the operator when theliquid discharge device 1 is carried on the back by the operator, is drawn as a front surface. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, a direction in which the front surface that is a front side of theliquid discharge device 1 and a rear surface opposite the front surface are connected to each other is defined as a forward and rearward direction, a horizontal direction orthogonal to the forward and rearward direction is defined as a rightward and leftward direction, and a direction orthogonal to the forward and rearward direction and the rightward and leftward direction is defined as an upward and downward direction. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the right and left of theliquid discharge device 1 is based on a state where theliquid discharge device 1 is viewed from the front. Namely, the right of the drawing sheet ofFIG. 1 coincides with the right of theliquid discharge device 1. - The
liquid discharge device 1 includes aliquid tank 10, and adevice body 20 that detachably holds theliquid tank 10. Theliquid tank 10 is a member that stores a liquid such as a chemical solution thereinside. Aninlet port 11 through which the liquid is inlet into theliquid tank 10 is formed in an upper portion of theliquid tank 10. Theinlet port 11 includes acylindrical portion 11a having a cylindrical shape, and anupper lid 11b that is detachably mounted to an outer peripheral surface of thecylindrical portion 11a by, for example, a screw or the like. It is assumed that agrip portion 11c is formed in theupper lid 11b of the illustrated example, and is held for carriage by a user. -
FIG. 2(a) is a rear view of theliquid tank 10 when viewed from a rear side, andFIG. 2(b) is a bottom view of theliquid tank 10. A pair ofleg portions 13 are formed in abottom portion 12 of theliquid tank 10. Theleg portions 13 of one example protrude downward from both right and left ends of thebottom portion 12. Theleg portion 13 is formed over substantially the entire region in the forward and rearward direction. Theleg portion 13 of the illustrated example includes aprotrusion portion 13a, which extends toward the other end in the rightward and leftward direction, at substantially the center in the forward and rearward direction. - In addition, a connection portion (valve) 14 is provided between the pair of
leg portions 13 in thebottom portion 12 of theliquid tank 10. Theconnection portion 14 of one example has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and protrudes downward from thebottom portion 12. Avalve 14a is provided at the center of a bottom surface of theconnection portion 14. Thevalve 14a may be provided inside a recessedportion 14b formed in the bottom surface of theconnection portion 14. For example, thevalve 14a is opened to discharge the stored liquid when pressed from an outer side toward an inner side. - In addition,
lock portions 16 are formed in theliquid tank 10 of the illustrated example. Thelock portions 16 are provided in, for example, both side surfaces in the rightward and leftward direction, respectively. A pair of thelock portions 16 are portions that engage with alock lever 26a of thedevice body 20 to be described later. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device body when viewed from the upper right.FIG. 4 is a plan view of the device body.FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line V-V ofFIG. 4 .FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI ofFIG. 4 . Incidentally, inFIGS. 5 and6 , only upper portion of the device body is illustrated. Thedevice body 20 includes abody case 21 that accommodates power devices including, for example, a pump, a motor, and the like. Thebody case 21 includes anupper wall 23 that faces thebottom portion 12 of theliquid tank 10 to support theliquid tank 10, alower wall 24 facing theupper wall 23, and aperipheral wall 25 that connects theupper wall 23 and thelower wall 24. Thelower wall 24 of thedevice body 20 is provided with aleg member 24a for placing thedevice body 20 on the ground or the like (refer toFIG. 1 ). For example, when thedevice body 20 is placed at a horizontal position, abottom surface 24b of thelower wall 24 of thedevice body 20 is disposed along substantially the horizon. - An
insertion portion 25a through which a battery for operating the power devices such as the pump and the motor is inserted is formed in a part of theperipheral wall 25 of thebody case 21. Theinsertion portion 25a is an opening formed in theperipheral wall 25, and connects the inside and the outside of thebody case 21. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , theinsertion portion 25a may be closed with acover 25b. When the battery is attached and detached, thecover 25b is opened and closed by a user. In the present embodiment, thecover 25b (namely, theinsertion portion 25a) is provided on a front side of a right side surface in theperipheral wall 25 of thebody case 21. Incidentally, in the illustrated example, aknob 25c or the like by which the strength of a liquid flow is adjusted is disposed on a rear side of the right side surface in theperipheral wall 25 of thebody case 21. - In addition, in the illustrated example, a
pocket 27 which accommodates a discharge nozzle or the like is formed on a rear side of theperipheral wall 25. An upper portion of theperipheral wall 25 is formed to protrude to an upper side from theupper wall 23. In one example, theperipheral wall 25 protruding upward from a peripheral edge of theupper wall 23 forms asupport wall 26. Thebody case 21 supports theliquid tank 10 in a state where a lower portion of theliquid tank 10 is accommodated in a region surrounded by thesupport wall 26. Incidentally, in the illustrated example, a pair of thelock levers 26a provided in thesupport wall 26 engage with thelock portion 16 of theliquid tank 10, so that theliquid tank 10 can be fixed to thebody case 21. - The
upper wall 23 includes a recessedportion 31, aflat portion 32, astep portion 34, agroove 36, and aflow path 37. The recessedportion 31 is a portion that is recessed downward from the height position of theflat portion 32 at the center of theupper wall 23. The recessedportion 31 of the illustrated example has a substantially circular shape in a plan view. In addition, the recessedportion 31 has a substantially mortar shape, and has aperipheral surface 31b which is inclined such that the diameter is increased as theperipheral surface 31b extends upward from abottom surface 31a. For example, the diameter of thebottom surface 31a of the recessedportion 31 is larger than the outer diameter of theconnection portion 14 of theliquid tank 10. In addition, the size (depth from the flat portion 32) of the recessedportion 31 is larger than the size (height from the bottom portion 12) of theconnection portion 14 of theliquid tank 10 in the upward and downward direction. For this reason, theconnection portion 14 can be accommodated inside the recessedportion 31. - A
liquid supply nozzle 40 connected to thevalve 14a of theliquid tank 10 is provided at the center of theupper wall 23. In one example, the pump accommodated in thebody case 21 is driven to suction the chemical solution from thevalve 14a of theliquid tank 10 through theliquid supply nozzle 40. The chemical solution is pressure fed to adischarge port 25d (refer toFIG. 1 ) exposed from theperipheral wall 25 of thebody case 21. Accordingly, the chemical solution can be discharged from the discharge nozzle that is connected to thedischarge port 25d via, for example, a hose or the like. Incidentally, in theliquid discharge device 1 of the illustrated example, the hose, the discharge nozzle, and the like are removed and are not drawn. - The
liquid supply nozzle 40 includes aninner nozzle 41 and anouter nozzle 45. As illustrated inFIGS. 5 and6 , theinner nozzle 41 is disposed inside thebody case 21 such that a part of theinner nozzle 41 is located above theupper wall 23. Theinner nozzle 41 of one example includes atubular portion 42 having a tubular shape, and aflange portion 43 provided in a lower portion of thetubular portion 42 to protrude from thetubular portion 42 in a radial direction. Thetubular portion 42 protrudes to the outside of thebody case 21 through anopening 31c provided at the center of thebottom surface 31a of the recessedportion 31. Thetubular portion 42 is connected to a pipe, which is connected to the pump, below theflange portion 43. Accordingly, the liquid can be supplied to the pump through thetubular portion 42. Theflange portion 43 has a disk shape having a larger diameter than that of theopening 31c formed in the recessedportion 31, and is in contact with a lower surface of the recessedportion 31. In one example, a protrusion 31d through which the lower surface of the recessedportion 31 is in contact with theflange portion 43 is formed in the lower surface of the recessedportion 31. - The
outer nozzle 45 includes asmall diameter portion 46, and alarge diameter portion 47 that is formed to be continuous with thesmall diameter portion 46. Thesmall diameter portion 46 is a portion that is inserted into the recessedportion 14b formed in theconnection portion 14 of theliquid tank 10, and has a tubular shape. The diameter of thesmall diameter portion 46 is smaller than the diameter of the recessedportion 14b formed in theconnection portion 14. When thesmall diameter portion 46 is inserted into the recessedportion 14b, thevalve 14a inside the recessedportion 14b is pressed. Namely, thevalve 14a is opened. In one example, agroove 46a in which an O-ring is mounted is formed at a tip of thesmall diameter portion 46 in a circumferential direction. When thesmall diameter portion 46 is inserted into the recessedportion 14b of theconnection portion 14, a gap between the recessedportion 14b and thesmall diameter portion 46 is sealed by the O-ring. - The
large diameter portion 47 has a cylindrical shape having a larger diameter than that of thesmall diameter portion 46. A center axis of thelarge diameter portion 47 and a center axis of thesmall diameter portion 46 coincide with each other. The center axis may coincide with, for example, a vertical direction in a state where thebody case 21 is placed on a horizontal ground or the like. The inner diameter of thelarge diameter portion 47 may be substantially the same as the outer diameter of thetubular portion 42 of theinner nozzle 41. Thetubular portion 42 of theinner nozzle 41 is fitted to an inner periphery of thelarge diameter portion 47, so that theinner nozzle 41 and theouter nozzle 45 are connected to each other. As in the illustrated example, thetubular portion 42 of theinner nozzle 41, which protrudes upward from theopening 31c, and thelarge diameter portion 47 of theouter nozzle 45 are fitted to each other, so that theliquid supply nozzle 40 is fixed to the center of the recessedportion 31 of theupper wall 23. In one example, a lower end (end portion on a side opposite an end portion on asmall diameter portion 46 side) of thelarge diameter portion 47 is athick portion 48 that is formed thick. Agroove 48a having a ring shape is formed in thethick portion 48 to face thebottom surface 31a of the recessedportion 31 of theupper wall 23. A packing such as an O-ring is disposed in thegroove 48a, so that a gap between theliquid supply nozzle 40 and theupper wall 23 is sealed. - The
flat portion 32 is provided outside the recessedportion 31 to surround the recessedportion 31. Theflat portion 32 has a flat upper surface without unevenness. Theflat portion 32 may be inclined in one direction of the forward and rearward direction in a state where thebody case 21 is placed on a horizontal ground or the like. The inclination has, for example, a gradient such that the liquid flows downstream in a natural state. In thebody case 21 of one example, theflat portion 32 is inclined downward toward apocket 27 side. In addition, as illustrated inFIGS. 3 and4 , theflat portion 32 of one example has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. Theflat portion 32 is in contact with a front surface, and is separated from right and left surfaces and a rear surface among inner peripheral surfaces of thesupport wall 26. In addition, theflat portion 32 is divided into a plurality of sections (three in the illustrated example) by theflow path 37 to be described later. - The
step portion 34 is a portion in which theleg portion 13 of theliquid tank 10 is accommodated. Thestep portions 34 of the illustrated example are provided at both ends in the rightward and leftward direction of theupper wall 23, respectively. Namely, thestep portion 34 is formed from a front end to a rear end of theupper wall 23 between theflat portion 32 and thesupport wall 26 in the rightward and leftward direction. Thestep portion 34 is recessed downward from the height position of the flat portion 32 (refer toFIG. 5 ). For example, the size (depth of a recess) of thestep portion 34 may be smaller than the size of theleg portion 13 of theliquid tank 10 in the upward and downward direction. In this case, a gap is formed between theflat portion 32 and thebottom portion 12 of theliquid tank 10 in a state where theliquid tank 10 is supported on thebody case 21. - In addition, the
step portion 34 is provided with amark 34a indicating a position different from the position of theinsertion portion 25a in theperipheral wall 25 of thebody case 21. Themark 34a of one example is provided at a position (rear left) facing the position (front right) of theinsertion portion 25a with theliquid supply nozzle 40 interposed therebetween in a plan view. Themark 34a of the illustrated example is an imprint formed in thestep portion 34, and has a shape representing an arrow. The arrow points to a rear left corner of thebody case 21. - The
groove 36 is recessed downward from the height position of theflat portion 32, and is formed to be deeper than the depth of the recessed portion 31 (refer toFIG. 6 ). Thegroove 36 is formed in a part of the peripheral edge of theupper wall 23. For example, thegroove 36 may be formed in one end portion in the forward and rearward direction of theupper wall 23. Thegroove 36 of one example is formed in an end portion on thepocket 27 side (namely, rear side) of theupper wall 23 from the position of onestep portion 34 to the position of theother step portion 34 of thestep portions 34 formed at both the ends in the rightward and leftward direction. Namely, thegroove 36 is formed along a lower end of an inclined surface formed by theflat portion 32. For this reason, theflat portion 32 is inclined downward toward thegroove 36. - The
flow path 37 includes a pair offirst flow paths 37b that connect the recessedportion 31 and a pair of thestep portions 34, and asecond flow path 37a that connects the recessedportion 31 and thegroove 36. Each of thefirst flow paths 37b is recessed downward from the height position of theflat portion 32, and extends in the rightward and leftward direction. For example, the depth of thefirst flow path 37b from theflat portion 32 is substantially the same as the depth of thestep portion 34, and is shallower than the depth of the recessedportion 31 in the upward and downward direction. In addition, thefirst flow path 37b is inclined downward from astep portion 34 side toward a recessedportion 31 side. The inclination has, for example, a gradient such that the liquid flows downstream in a natural state. - The
second flow path 37a is recessed downward from the height position of theflat portion 32, and extends in the forward and rearward direction. For example, the depth of thesecond flow path 37a from theflat portion 32 is the same as the depth of the recessedportion 31, or is deeper than the depth of the recessedportion 31, and is shallower than the depth of thegroove 36 in the upward and downward direction. In addition, thesecond flow path 37a is inclined downward from the recessedportion 31 side toward agroove 36 side. The inclination has, for example, a gradient such that the liquid flows downstream in a natural state. - In the
liquid discharge device 1 described above, theliquid tank 10 is mounted in thedevice body 20, so that thevalve 14a of theliquid tank 10 and theliquid supply nozzle 40 of thedevice body 20 are connected to each other. Accordingly, the liquid such as a chemical solution stored in theliquid tank 10 is supplied to thedevice body 20, and the chemical solution is discharged from thedischarge port 25d by operation of the pump or the like. In one example, the discharge nozzle is connected to thedischarge port 25d via the hose, and the chemical solution or the like can be discharged from the discharge nozzle in a desired state. - In the
liquid discharge device 1 described above, it is considered that, for example, when theliquid tank 10 is removed from thedevice body 20, or the like, the liquid such as a chemical solution flows into theupper wall 23 of thedevice body 20. In this case, in theliquid discharge device 1 of one example, even when the liquid flows into the recessedportion 31 surrounding theliquid supply nozzle 40, the liquid flows from the recessedportion 31 through thesecond flow path 37a to be stored in thegroove 36. As described above, since the liquid is unlikely to be stored in the recessedportion 31 surrounding theliquid supply nozzle 40, the liquid is suppressed from infiltrating into thedevice body 20 from around theliquid supply nozzle 40. Accordingly, the power devices such as the pump, the motor, and the like disposed inside thedevice body 20 is suppressed from being exposed to the liquid. - In addition, the
upper wall 23 includes theflat portion 32 surrounding the recessedportion 31, and theflat portion 32 is inclined downward toward thegroove 36 side. In this configuration, the liquid which has flowed into theupper wall 23 easily flows toward thegroove 36 without passing through the recessedportion 31. Namely, when the liquid flows into a side behind thefirst flow paths 37b in theflat portion 32, the liquid flows downstream due to the inclination of theflat portion 32, and is stored in thegroove 36 as it is. Incidentally, when the liquid flows into a side in front of thefirst flow paths 37b in theflat portion 32, the liquid flows from theflat portion 32 to thefirst flow paths 37b. Then, the liquid flows from thefirst flow paths 37b through the recessedportion 31 and thesecond flow path 37a to be stored in thegroove 36. - In addition, the
second flow path 37a is inclined downward toward thegroove 36. In this configuration, the liquid which has flowed into the recessedportion 31 easily flows toward thegroove 36. In the present embodiment, thesecond flow path 37a is inclined downward toward thegroove 36 in a state where thedevice body 20 is placed in a horizontal location. For this reason, an operation such as inclining thedevice body 20 to guide the liquid to thegroove 36 does not need to be performed. - In addition, the
insertion portion 25a through which the battery for the power devices is inserted is formed in a part of the peripheral wall of thebody case 21, and theupper wall 23 of thebody case 21 is provided with themark 34a indicating a position different from the position of theinsertion portion 25a in the peripheral wall of thebody case 21. In this configuration, a user can easily recognize the position of theinsertion portion 25a for the battery, and the liquid stored in thegroove 36 of theupper wall 23 can be discharged from a position different from aninsertion portion 25a side. For this reason, when the liquid stored in the groove 36 (in the region surrounded by the support wall 26) is discharged, theinsertion portion 25a is suppressed from being exposed to the liquid. - The exemplary embodiment of the present invention has been described above, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.
- The high-pressure washer has been illustrated as an example of the liquid discharge device. The liquid discharge device may include a supply nozzle that supplies the liquid to the device body, and the form of discharge of the liquid is not particularly limited. For example, the liquid discharge device may be a liquid spray device or the like.
- In addition, an example where the mark is provided in the step portion has been illustrated; however, the mark may be provided at another position in the upper wall, for example, in the flat portion or the like. In addition, since the position of drainage of the liquid, which suppresses the insertion portion for the battery from being exposed to the liquid, may be determined by the mark, the mark may be various shapes, characters, or a combination thereof other than the arrow. For example, the position of the insertion portion for the battery may be recognizable by the mark provided in the upper wall, to promote the drainage of the liquid from a location other than the position corresponding to the position of the insertion portion for the battery.
