Further, the water outlet D ′ with a water purification function includes a cylindrical water purification cartridge 21 having a through hole 20, a cylindrical water purification cartridge built-in case 23 in which the water purification cartridge 21 is exchangeably built, and a built-in case 23. 23, and the water purification cartridge 21 further includes a cylindrical high-performance antibacterial fiber activated carbon filter 22, and covers 22a and 22b respectively covering the front end face and the rear end face of the filter 22. 22b, and the cover bodies 22a and 22b have O-rings a and b on the outer peripheral surface, respectively. The through hole 20 forms a raw water flow path h communicating with a raw water supply flow path g made of water flowing out from the outlet 6 of the faucet main body 7. In addition, when using the tap for water supply with a water purification function for hot and cold water, a water supply flow path of raw water composed of hot and cold water can be formed in addition to water.
On the other hand, the built-in case 23 has inner screws m and n at front and rear positions on the inner circumferential surface, respectively, and is inserted into the holding member 24 of the built-in case 23 on the annular outer circumferential surface of the front opening 23c. It has a gripping uneven portion 23d for facilitating the insertion operation. The holding member 24 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical body having a front opening 24a for holding, and is an L-shaped tube in plan view communicating the water supply flow path g and the raw water flow path h in the through hole 20. A communication port 28 having a shape of a circle is provided at a central bottom portion 29. 28a is a communication hole of the communication port 28. The communication port 28 has an O-ring c on the outer peripheral surface at the outlet 28b. Further, the holding member 24 has an O-ring e for sealing between the rear end and the holding member 24 when the rear end of the built-in case 23 is inserted.
[0015]
Further, a cylindrical valve case 26 provided in the built-in case 23 in a horizontal state is provided immediately downstream of the water purification cartridge 21. The valve case 26 includes a movable disk connected to an operation member 27 for switching between a purified water discharge state and a raw water discharge state, and a cartridge type valve body including a fixed disk on which the movable disk is slidably mounted. Built-in. This cartridge type valve body is the same as the cartridge type valve body built in the faucet body 7. The valve case 26 has O-rings q and r before and after the outer peripheral surface, respectively. The operation member 27 is disposed in the opening 40 located on the left side of the front of the decorative plate 12, and the operation member 5 is disposed in the opening 13 located on the upper left side of the front of the decorative plate 12. The water supply port 9 is disposed in an opening 14 located at a lower portion of the water supply port.
[0016]
The water purification cartridge 21 is held in the built-in case 23 via perforated ring bodies 30 and 31 provided on the front and rear along the longitudinal direction of the built-in case 23. The perforated ring body 30 has a central opening 30a, a plurality of water passage holes 30b formed in the outer peripheral side along the circumferential direction, and has an external thread screwed to the internal thread m. In addition, the ring body with holes 31 has a central opening 31a, a plurality of water holes 31b formed in the outer peripheral side along the circumferential direction, and has an external screw screwed to the internal screw n. . Reference numeral 44 denotes an elastic body interposed between the ring body with holes 31 and the central bottom portion 29 of the holding member 24.
[0017]
Reference numeral 41 denotes a pair of upper and lower protrusions for locking provided on the outer peripheral surface of the built-in case 23.

The projection 41 passing through the guide groove 42 is inserted in the order of arrows A, B, and C into an L-shaped groove 42 (see FIG. 4B) provided on the inner peripheral surface of the front opening 24a of the holding member 24. First, with the gripping concave and convex portion 23d held, the projection 41 is inserted in the direction of arrow A against the urging force of the elastic body 44, and then the projection 41 is moved so that the projection 41 moves in the direction of arrow B. By operating the uneven portion 23d, finally, the projection 41 can be moved in the direction of arrow C by the urging force of the elastic body 44.
[0018]
Thus, when the operating member 5 is operated in the water discharging state and the operating member 27 is further operated in the purified water discharging state, an annular space formed between the inner peripheral surface of the built-in case 23 and the outer peripheral surface of the filter 22 is formed. After the purified water filtered by the filter 22 flows through the section S, it is discharged from the water supply port section 9. In this purified water spouting state, the raw water flowing inside the filter 22 is closed at the outlet of the through-hole 20, so that the raw water flows from the inside of the filter 22 in the radial direction of the water purification cartridge 21 by the water pressure on the water supply flow path g side. , it is filtered purified water in the filter 22, to the water discharge from the water inlet portion 9 reaches the water discharge flow path k ₂ from purified water flow path i of the annular space S through the water passing hole 31b of the perforated ring member 31.
[0019]
On the other hand, when the operation member 27 is switched from the purified water spouting state to the raw water spouting state, the water passage holes provided in the movable disk in the valve case 26 and the water passage holes provided in the fixed disk are aligned with each other. Of raw water passes through the water hole 30b of the perforated ring body 30 through the water hole and the water hole 26c provided in the valve case 26, and further passes through the raw water channel j of the annular space S. through the water-passing hole 31b of the ring member 31 to the water discharge from the water inlet portion 9 reaches the water discharge flow path k _1.
For this reason, purified water put in a bucket, for example, via a water supply hose connected to the water supply port 9 can be used for breeding creatures such as tropical fish and the like, compared with the case where raw water is used. It is safe. Purified water is also effective as drinking water.
[0021]
Further, purified water can be used in the dishwasher.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since purified water can be supplied from the water supply port, it can be used as drinking water and can be used for breeding creatures such as tropical fish, which is safer than using raw water. When connected to a dishwasher, purified water can be used for the dishwasher.
