[Embodiment 1] FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (c) show a schematic configuration of an embodiment of installation of piping members in a floor, in a wall, and behind a ceiling according to the present invention.
Shown in 1 (a) to 1 (c), a drain pipe connection part 2, a water supply pipe connection part 3, and a hot water pipe connection part 4 are provided in a casing 5 housed in the floor, in the wall, or behind the ceiling. One end of each pipe connection portion is a connection portion with a water supply device, and the other end is connected to a water supply pipe, a hot water supply pipe, and a drain pipe connected to a sewer pipe provided in the building. . For the pipe member of the present invention, water supply, for hot water supply, the suppliable flow rate,
For drainage, a means is provided to allow the user to recognize the allowable flow rate. Regarding water supply and hot water supply, if the amount of water or hot water required to connect too many appliances exceeds the flow rate that can be supplied,
Water and hot water cannot be supplied sufficiently, deteriorating the performance of the appliance. Regarding drainage, if the amount of drainage from the equipment exceeds the permissible flow rate, it is possible that the drainage overflows in front of the piping members or flows back to the equipment side, which should be avoided hygienically. It is a problem. Therefore, the number and types of devices that can be connected need to be limited. As a method for allowing the user to recognize the flow rate that can be supplied and the allowable flow rate, the limit value and the type and number of instruments that deserve it may be simply described in the vicinity of the piping member. It is better to measure and display this value so that the user can adjust the usage of the appliance to achieve the appropriate flow rate. Alternatively, the user may be notified by a buzzer, a warning light, or the like when the supply flow rate or the allowable flow rate is exceeded. The pipe connection section may have a joint structure, and each pipe connection section is provided with a simple attaching / detaching function, and a water supply pipe, a hot water supply pipe, and a drain pipe (not shown) connected to each water supply device can be connected with one touch. Can be detached. The simple attachment / detachment function is preferably a one-touch coupler structure.For example, disconnecting each pipe connected to the coupler shuts off water supply, hot water supply, and drainage, and automatically connects the pipe to the coupler. Preferably, the structure is such that water is opened. This may be provided by providing such a structure in the piping from each water plumbing fixture. By doing so, a special user does not need a special tool, and a general user without specialized knowledge can easily connect each water-supplying device to the piping member. And connection of each piping connection part and piping from each water plumbing fixture is such that flexible piping from each water plumbing fixture is inserted into each pipe connection part and connected with a fastener such as a hose band. The method may be used. Here, with regard to drainage, especially toilet bowl drainage, care must be taken not to inadvertently remove the pipe from the viewpoint of sanitation. For this reason, although it is desirable for toilets to have a simple detachable function,
In addition, a safety lock device, a warning buzzer, and the like may be provided so as to call the user's attention when removing the drain pipe.
In a case where the pipe connection from each water-supplying device is not performed, an open / close door such as a double door or a sliding door (not shown) that closes the opening of the casing 5 may be provided. By doing so, the scenery when the pipe connection portion is not used can be maintained, and harmful effects such as accumulation of dust and dust and smell can be prevented. Further, the opening and closing door may have the same pattern as the floor, wall, and ceiling. Further, by providing a fan in the casing 5, ventilation and deodorization in the casing can be performed, and dew condensation on the pipe and the pipe connection portion can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the performance of the pipe and the pipe connection for a long time. Furthermore, a detachable cap may be provided at the connection port of each pipe connection portion. As shown in FIG. 1 (b), it is preferable to provide a water stopping function at each pipe connection portion in order to suppress water or particularly sewage blowout at the time of pipe connection. As the water stopping function, a stop valve 8 or a ball valve T-type 9 can be suitably used. In this case, if there is not enough space to install a manual operation unit having a water stop function at the pipe connection unit,
A structure in which a button is provided outside or the like and water is automatically stopped by operating the button may be used. Further, the pipe member of the present invention is preferably provided with a water leak detection function, and a sensor is provided in the casing 5 and each pipe connection portion, and receives a signal from the sensor to turn on a water leak indicator lamp or sound a buzzer. Any means may be used as long as it notifies the user of water leakage. Further, the water supply and hot water supply to each water supply device from each pipe connection portion of the pipe member of the present invention can be adjusted by a pressure adjusting function or a temperature adjusting function. For example,
The function may be provided in a joint portion or the like of each pipe connection portion. However, the operation part for setting the pressure and temperature is provided in the casing 5 and may be arbitrarily set at the time of use, or may be provided outside the casing and set in advance at the time of installation of the piping member. It is not limited. When the piping member of the present invention is installed above the ceiling as shown in FIG. 1 (c), there is no particular problem in supplying water and hot water to each water-supply device, but for drainage, the location depends on the location of each water-supply device. Water must be pumped by drainage because water must be sent to the ceiling and to the sewer. For that purpose, it is necessary to provide the forced drainage device 11 in each water supply device, the piping member, or both. By doing so, it is possible to drain water from each water plumbing device installed at a position lower than the sewer pipe, and by enabling pressure feeding, it is possible to reduce the diameter of piping before and after the forced drainage device,
A flexible pipe can be used, and the piping member of the present invention can be installed at any place including the length of the piping. Therefore, it becomes possible to install a water supply device in a basement or the like.
