【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、水道用コンセントに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材および浄水機能付水栓ならびに分岐バルブに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
本出願人は、水のみを吐水する給水用水栓や、湯水混合水を吐水する湯水用水栓としての水道用コンセントを開発している。例えば図9〜図12に示すような前記給水用水栓としての水道用コンセントDは、直方体形状で、前面開口1を有するとともに、左右の側面に前後方向にスライド可能に設けた一対のスライド部材2,2を有するハウジング本体3と、配管である給水用樹脂パイプから水が流入する流入口4および操作部材7によって流量調整された水を流出する流出口5を有するとともに、セラミック製の固定ディスクおよび可動ディスクを内蔵するカートリッジ式の弁体を有し、前記前面開口1を介して前記ハウジング本体3内に収容される水栓本体6と、この水栓本体6の上部に設けられ、止水・吐水機能と流量調整機能を有する前記操作部材7と、水栓本体6の下部に前記流出口5を介して設けられ、散水器8、洗濯機などの給水ホース9の上流端に設けられた継手部材10が着脱自在である給水口部11と、水栓本体6の下部に前記流入口4を介して設けられ、鞘管12に被覆された給水用樹脂パイプが接続される接続部13と、前面開口1を介してハウジング本体前面側に着脱自在に嵌込まれた枠体14と、この枠体14内に着脱自在に嵌込まれた化粧プレート15とを備えている。そして、この化粧プレート15の上部に位置する開口16に操作部材7が配置され、化粧プレート15の下部に位置する開口17に前記給水口部11が配置され、例えば家屋の外壁18に設けた取付用の開口内に、枠体14の裏面における外周端面部14aと一対のスライド部材2,2とで外壁18を挟むことにより、水道用コンセントDは固定設置される。
【0003】
この水道用コンセントDは、図8、図12に示すように、散水器8の給水ホース9の継手部材10が給水口部11に連結されていないときは、弾性部材19によって下流側へと付勢される弁体21が上流側から弁座部材22に当接して水が通れず止水状態とする一方、継手部材10が給水口部11に連結されると、図7に示すように、弾性部材19の付勢力に抗して弁体21が弁座部材22から上流側へと離間して吐水状態となり、操作部材7を吐水操作することによって給水口部11から散水器8を介して給水でき、それによって、ガーディニングや洗車が行えるとともに、給水中に子供のいたずらなどによって、継手部材10が不意に給水口部11から外されたとしても、給水口部11から水が吐出されず、水漏れ事故などを未然に防ぐことができるというものである。
なお、湯水混合水を吐水する湯水用の水道用コンセントを水道用コンセントDに代えて用いた場合は、散水器8の給水ホース9の継手部材10を給水口部11に接続し、操作部材7を吐水操作すると、湯水混合水で洗車できたり、散水器8の給水ホース9に代えて洗濯機の給水ホースを給水口部11に接続し、操作部材7を吐水操作すると、湯水混合水で洗濯できる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記構成の水道用コンセントDは、浄水機能を持っていなかった。
【0005】
この発明は上述の事柄に留意してなされたもので、その目的は、水道用コンセントに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材および浄水機能付水栓ならびに分岐バルブに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材を提供することである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、この発明の水道用コンセントに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材は、前面開口を有するハウジング本体と、流入口および流出口を有するとともに前記前面開口を介して前記ハウジング本体内に収容される水栓本体と、止水・吐水機能および流量調整機能を有する操作部材と、散水器、洗濯機などの給水ホースの上流端に設けられた継手部材が着脱自在である給水口部とを備えて壁、パネルまたは床に固定設置されるよう構成され、更に、前記給水口部は、前記継手部材が接続されていないときには、弾性部材によって下流側へと付勢される弁体が上流側から弁座部材に当接して止水状態とする一方、前記継手部材が接続されると、前記弾性部材の付勢力に抗して前記弁体が前記弁座部材から上流側へと離間して吐水状態とするよう構成されてなる水道用コンセントに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材であって、この浄水機能付吐水口部材は、前記給水口部に簡易着脱自在に接続されるよう構成されるとともに、取替自在に内蔵される浄水カートリッジを有することを特徴とする。
【0007】
また、この発明は別の観点から、止水・吐水機能および流量調整機能を兼ねた操作部材と、散水器、洗濯機などの給水ホースの継手部材が簡易着脱自在に接続され、前記継手部材が接続されていないときには、弾性部材によって下流側へと付勢される弁体が上流側から弁座部材に当接して止水状態とする一方、前記継手部材が接続されると、前記弾性部材の付勢力に抗して前記弁体が前記弁座部材から上流側へと離間して吐水状態とするよう構成された給水口部と、この給水口部に簡易着脱自在に接続する吐水口部材とを備え、前記給水口部に前記吐水口部材を接続して前記吐水状態とし、前記操作部材を吐水操作することによって前記吐水口部材から給水できるように構成してある水栓において、前記吐水口部材に浄水カートリッジが取替自在に内蔵されていることを特徴とする浄水機能付水栓を提供する。
【0008】
また、この発明は更に別の観点から、食器洗い機、浄水器、洗濯機等の機器の給水ホースの継手部材が簡易着脱自在に接続され、前記継手部材が接続されていないときには、弾性部材によって下流側へと付勢される弁体が上流側から弁座部材に当接して止水状態とする一方、前記継手部材が接続されると、前記弾性部材の付勢力に抗して前記弁体が前記弁座部材から上流側へと離間して吐水状態とするよう構成された給水口部を有し、水栓に分岐ソケットを介して分岐接続されて前記分岐ソケットとで前記水栓から分岐流路を形成するよう構成された分岐バルブに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材であって、この浄水機能付吐水口部材は、前記給水口部に簡易着脱自在に接続されるよう構成されるとともに、取替自在に内蔵される浄水カートリッジを有することを特徴とする分岐バルブに用いられる浄水機能付吐水口部材を提供する。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態について説明する。
この発明の特徴は、図9〜図12に示した給水用の水道用コンセントDの給水口部11に簡易着脱自在に接続する吐水口部材30を設け、この吐水口部材30は、取替自在に内蔵される浄水カートリッジ31を有する点にあり、浄水カートリッジ31を内蔵してある前記吐水口部材30を給水口部11に接続して吐水状態とし、止水・吐水機能と流量調整機能を兼ねた操作部材7を吐水操作することによって前記吐水口部材30から浄水または原水を給水できるようになっている。
【0010】
図1〜図6は、前記水道用コンセントDに用いられるこの発明の一実施形態を示す。なお、図1〜図6において、図7〜図12で示した符号と同一のものは、同一または相当物である。
【0011】
そして、この実施形態では、給水ホースとして庭先でのガーディニングや駐車場での洗車に用いられる散水器8の給水ホース9が採用されている。
【0012】
なお、湯水混合水を吐水する湯水用の水道用コンセントを前記給水用の水道用コンセントDに代えて用いることもできる。また、前記給水用の水道用コンセントDの構成は図9〜図12を用いて既に詳述されているので、以下にその説明を省略する。
【0013】
図1〜図6において、前記吐水口部材30は、前記給水口部11に簡易着脱自在に接続されて原水(この実施形態では水)の給水流路aを形成する継手33と、この継手33を介して前記給水口部11に接続する吐水口本体34と、この吐水口本体34に内蔵され、原水流路bを形成する貫通穴35を有する円筒状の前記浄水カートリッジ31とを備えている。吐水口本体34に浄水カートリッジ31が内蔵された状態では、原水流路bは前記給水流路aに連通し、また、貫通穴35は、浄水カートリッジ31の軸線A上に位置する。また、浄水カートリッジ31は、例えば高性能抗菌繊維活性炭フィルタ38を有する。なお、湯水用の水道用コンセントを用いた場合は、継手33によって原水としての湯水混合水の給水流路aも形成できる。そして、前記継手33の給水口部11に対する接続構造は、散水器8の給水ホース9の上流端に設けられた継手部材10の給水口部11に対する接続構造と同一である。
【0014】
更に、前記吐水口本体34は、浄水カートリッジ31が取替自在に内蔵されている筒状の浄水カートリッジケース部36と、この浄水カートリッジケース部36の下流端に設けたヘッド部37とよりなる。前記継手33は、ほぼ円筒状の継手本体80の下流端に外ねじ33aを有する一方、浄水カートリッジケース部36は、上流端に外ねじ33aに螺合する内ねじ36aを有し、これにより、継手33は浄水カートリッジケース部36に接続され得る。
【0015】
このヘッド部37は、下部側に吐水流路P’,P,Qを形成するチャンバ49を有する。また、ヘッド部37は、前記浄水カートリッジ31の外側に浄水カートリッジケース部36とで形成される環状の浄水流路cに連通する浄水用開口40を上流端に有するとともに、ヘッド部37の上流端おける前記軸線A上に前記原水流路bに連通する原水用開口41を有する。すなわち、浄水吐水状態では、浄水カートリッジケース部36の内周面mおよび前記フィルタ38の外周面n間に形成される環状空間部Sを前記フィルタ38によって濾過された浄水が浄水用開口40へ流出する。この浄水吐水状態では、図4に示すように、後述する金属製のボール弁体Bによって原水流路bと吐水流路P’,P,Qを連通させるための開口45(後述する)が閉塞されることにより、給水流路aから浄水カートリッジ31の貫通穴35、すなわち、前記フィルタ38の内側を流れる原水が原水用開口41でUターンするとともに、給水流路a側の水圧によって原水が前記フィルタ38内から浄水カートリッジ31の径方向に流れ、このフィルタ38で濾過された浄水が、浄水流路cから浄水用開口40を経て前記吐水流路P,P’,Qを形成するチャンバ49に至り吐水する。なお、前記浄水用開口40は前記チャンバ49に常時連通している。
【0016】
一方、浄水吐水状態から原水吐水状態に切替わると、図3に示すように、閉塞されていた前記開口45が開放されて貫通穴35内の原水が原水用開口41を通って前記チャンバ49に至り吐水する。この場合、前記浄水用開口41は前記チャンバ49に常時連通しているので、原水用開口41を通った原水は前記浄水用開口40を介して環状空間部Sにも流れ込み原水の溜まり部となるが、給水流路a側の水圧が大であるので原水用開口41を通った原水の大半は直接前記チャンバ49に流れ込む。また、原水が貫通穴35を流れる時点においても給水流路a側の水圧が大であり、かつ、原水用開口41と前記開口45が連通しているので、原水が前記フィルタ38に浸透する割合は極めて小さい。
【0017】
そして、ヘッド部37は、原水用開口41の下流側に、前記原水流路bを吐水流路P’,P,Qに連通させて原水を吐水する原水吐水状態と前記原水流路bを閉塞しながら前記浄水流路cを前記吐水流路P’,P,Qに連通させて浄水を吐水する浄水吐水状態とを切替える切替手段を有する。
【0018】
この切替手段は、前記ヘッド部37の横側部に露出したシーソー式の切替用の回動操作具39を有する。すなわち、図6に示すように、回動操作具39は、前面に、浄水吐水状態か、あるいは、原水吐水状態かを容易に目視できる切替え表示部44を有する。この切替え表示部44は、浄水吐水状態を示す表示部分44aと原水吐水状態を示す表示部分44bとよりなる。
【0019】
更に、前記切替手段は、ヘッド部37の上部側の空間部S’に、前記原水流路bを前記吐水流路P’,P,Qに連通させるための前記開口45が形成された弁座部材50と、この弁座部材50上に前記回動操作具39の回動操作に連動して前記吐水流路P’,P,Qを開閉する前記弁体Bを保持する弁体保持部材51を有する。
【0020】
すなわち、図6に示すように、前記弁座部材50の上面板50aに、前記チャンバ49に対応させて原水流路bと吐水流路P’,P,Qを連通させる開口45を設けるとともに、ヘッド部37の上部側の空間部に、上下方向の軸芯まわりで回動可能に合成樹脂製の前記弁体保持部材51を設け、この弁体保持部材51に、弁体保持部材51の回動に伴って前記開口45を開閉させる金属製のボール弁体Bを、スプリング53によって閉弁方向に付勢させて設けている。また、この弁体保持部材51に前記回動操作具39を連設し、かつ、この操作具39をヘッド部37の横側部に露出させてある。なお、前記スプリング53とボール弁体Bは、この順で筒体55に下側から挿入されている。
【0021】
前記回動操作具39の回動軸部は、弁座部材50の上面板50aに立設するピン56と、このピン56に嵌入係合するようピン56の形状に合わせて回動操作具A39穿設した孔39aとで構成される。
【0022】
57は、弁座部材50の上面板50aに開口45と並設されたボール弁体B用の溝である。すなわち、図3、図5に示す原水吐水状態では、前記開口45は、ボール弁体Bによって覆われておらず、ボール弁体Bは前記溝57に位置したままである。一方、回動操作具39を原水吐水状態から図4に示す浄水吐水状態に切替操作すると、回動操作具39の作動に連動してボール弁体Bが前記溝57から前記開口45に移動するよう弁体保持部材51が回動する。
【0023】
60は、ヘッド部37の下部側に回動自在に設けたリング状の回転ハンドルで、直放水の吐水流路P,P’と散水用の吐水流路Qに切替える機能を有する。
。なお、ヘッド部37は、中央部に浄水の直放水の吐水流路Pや原水の直放水の吐水流路P’を形成する吐水口部61を有する一方、吐水口部51のまわりに原水の散水用の吐水流路Qや浄水の散水用の吐水流路(図示せず)を形成する吐水口部62を有する。前記吐水口部61には、例えばメッシュの周囲を合成樹脂材で縁取りした複数枚の散水板61a…が設けられている。また、吐水口部62にも散水板62aが設けられている。
【0024】
以下、吐水口部材30の継手33と水道用コンセントDの給水口部11の簡易着脱自在な接続機構について説明する。
【0025】
図8において、給水口部11は、ほぼ円筒状の継手本体63内に、弁座部材22とこの弁座部材22に上流側から当接可能な弁体21とよりなるストップ弁64を有し、更に、弁体21を下流側へと付勢する弾性部材19を有する。
【0026】
前記継手本体63は、内壁の上流部に段差65が形成されており、また、外周面にロック溝部66が設けられている。さらに、継手本体63の上流側には、前記段差65を介して継手本体63の内径よりも小さい径となる流路が連通されており、また、継手本体63の内壁下流部には、雌ねじ部66が設けられている。
【0027】
前記弁座部材22は、ほぼ円筒状の部材であり、前記雌ねじ部66に螺着可能な雄ねじ部67が外周面に設けられているとともに、内壁上流部には、弁座部22aが設けられている。
【0028】
前記弁体21は、下流側に突出部21aを有するとともに、上流側に筒部21bを有する。
【0029】
前記弁体21は、外周に、たとえばOリングなどのシール部材68を装着することが可能となっている。
【0030】
前記突出部21aは、側面視がほぼL字形状であり、突出部21aの下流端部Tの先端は、継手本体63の長さ方向に対してほぼ直角をなす角度を向くように設けられている。
【0031】
前記筒部21bは、継手本体63の内壁に沿って摺動可能であり、スリット60が側面に四つ形成されている。また、筒部21bの上流部に設けられた段差70よりも上流側の部分は、内径が大きくなる薄壁部分71となっている。
【0032】
前記弾性部材19は、たとえばコイルスプリングであり、上流端が継手本体63の段差65に、下流端が弁体21の段差70にそれぞれ当接し、弁体21を常に下流側へ付勢している。
【0033】
次に、図8を用いて継手33について説明する。この継手33は、散水器8の給水ホース9の上流端に設けられた継手部材10の給水口部11に対する接続構造と同一の接続構造を継手本体80の下流側に有する。更に、継手33は、継手本体80の上流側先端部の外壁に沿って、継手本体80の軸芯方向に摺動可能であるとともに、スプリング81によって常に上流側へ付勢されているほぼ円筒状の摺動部材82を有する。
【0034】
前記継手本体80の上流側先端部の内壁には、上流側から順に、前記ロック溝部66を係止するための係止部99と、前記継手本体63の外周面に当接可能なシール部材83と、内径が小さくなる小径部84とが形成されている。
【0035】
前記係止部82は、四つの貫通孔85、85…と、各貫通孔85により保持される四つのロックボール86、86…とからなる。
【0036】
前記摺動部材82には、その内周面に突出部87が内側に向かって形成されており、さらに、この突出部87の上流側には、その内周面が突出部87の内周面よりも外側になるように設けられた凹入部88が形成されている。そして、前記突出部87の下流側の側面に、摺動部材82を常に上流側に付勢するスプリング81の上流側の端部が当接する構成となっている。
【0037】
また、継手本体80の先端部外周面には、リング状の抜け止め部材90が設けられており、この抜け止め部材90は、前記摺動部材82が継手本体80から上流側へ抜けることを防止するためのものである。
【0038】
次に、上記の構成からなる継手33を前記給水口部58に連結する際の動作について説明する。
【0039】
給水口部11に継手33が接続されていない図8に示す状態では、弁体21が弾性部材19によって常に下流側へ付勢されていることから、弁体21のシール部材68が、弁座部材72の弁座部22aに当接した状態となっており、水が弁座部22aを流通不能となっている。
【0040】
一方、接続前の継手33では、摺動部材82は、その摺動可能範囲の最も上流に位置し、このとき、摺動部材82の突出部87は、前記係止部99のすぐ外側に位置する。この状態では、突出部87は前記ロックボール86を継手本体80の内側へ付勢し、このように付勢された前記ロックボール86は、継手本体80の内壁の内側へ突出することになる。そして、継手本体80の内壁の内側へ突出したロックボール86は、給水口部11の前記継手本体63が継手本体80の内部に進入することを阻止する。
【0041】
上記のような状態にある継手33の摺動部材82を下流側へ摺動させると、継手本体63を継手本体80に取り付けることが可能となる。
【0042】
すなわち、摺動部材82を下流側へ摺動させると、前記係止部99のすぐ外側に位置していた突出部87がこの位置から下流側へ移動し、凹入部88が係止部99のすぐ外側に位置することになる。そして、この状態では、前記ロックボール86は継手本体80の内壁から凹入部88へと退避することが可能となり、継手本体63を継手本体80の内部へ進入させることが可能な状態(以下、進入可能状態という)となる。
【0043】
上記進入可能状態にある継手本体80を、前記継手本体63に外嵌させると、まず、前記弁体21の下流端部Tが、継手本体80の内壁下流部に設けられた小径部98(図1、図7参照)に上流側から当接する。そして、継手本体80をさらに継手本体63に深く差し込むと、前記小径部98が下流端部Tを上流側へ付勢することになり、この付勢が弾性部材19による下流側への付勢よりも大きくなると、弁体21が上流側へ摺動することになる。このように弁体21が上流側へと摺動した状態では、弁座部22aに当接していた弁体21のシール部材68が、弁座部22aから離れることになり、弁座部22aを水が流通可能となる。なお、前記下流端部Tの上流面から継手本体63の下流端までの距離は、弁体21と弁座部22aとの間を充分にあけることができるように設定されている。
【0044】
一方、継手本体80を継手本体63に可能な限り差し込んだ状態では、前記係止部99がロック溝部66のすぐ外側に位置することになる。そして、下流側へと摺動させていた前記摺動部材82をスプリング81の付勢に委ねると、摺動部材82は初期の位置に戻り、ロックボール86は前記突出部98により再び継手本体80の内側へ付勢される。このように付勢されたロックボール86は、継手本体63のロック溝部66に当接し、これにより継手本体80は給水口部11から抜けないようにロックされる。
【0045】
上記のように給水口部11に継手33を連結した状態とすることで、前記吐水状態とし、前記操作部材7を吐水操作することによって前記吐水口部材30から浄水や原水を吐出させることができる。
【0046】
なお、継手本体63から吐水口部材30を外すには、上記のロックボール86とロック溝部66とによるロックを解除する必要があり、このロックの解除は、前記摺動部材82を下流側へ摺動させることで行うことができる。すなわち、摺動部材82を下流側へ摺動させると、前記ロックボール86は摺動部材82の凹入部88へと退避可能となり、ロックボール86によるロック溝部66の係止が解除され、前記ロックが解除されることとなる。ロック解除の操作は、片手で行うことができる。
【0047】而して、図12に示すように、ガーディニングや洗車に使用した散水器8の給水ホース9を給水口部11から取り外し、吐水口部材30を給水口部11に取り付けると、操作部材7を吐水操作することによって前記吐水口部材30から浄水や原水を吐出させることができる。前記吐水口部材30から例えばバケツに入れられた浄水は、熱帯魚等の生き物の飼育に使用することができ、原水を使用する場合に比して極めて安全である。また、飲料水としても浄水は有効である。
