Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、浄水器と給湯熱源に接続され、浄水器にて処理された水と給湯熱源にて一定温度に吐出された温水とを、別々に設けた吐水管より吐水する水栓に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来技術】
従来、浄水器を水栓に接続する場合は、以下の方法が一般的である(非特許文献1参照)。
・水栓の吐水管の先端に接続する場合
・水栓と別に専用の浄水器用水栓を設け、台所用のカウンターの下に浄水器本体を設け、両者を接続する場合
・水栓に浄水器を組み込み場合
【0003】
【非特許文献】
TOTO 総合カタログ 2001−2002 701頁乃至702頁
【0004】
これらの場合について説明する。
水栓の吐水管の先端に浄水器を接続する場合は、吐水管より下に浄水器が接続されるため、台所の作業スペースが減少する。さらに、水栓の先端に重量物を接続するため、水栓が完全に固定されていない場合は、水栓が外れたり、漏水事故に至る場合がある。
水栓とは別に専用の水栓を設け、カウンターの下に浄水器を接続する場合は、台所の上に2つの水栓が連立されるため、台所のスペースが減少する。また、通常の水栓と浄水器用水栓を間違って操作する場合がある。
水栓に浄水器を組み込んだ場合は、台所の作業スペースが減少することはないが、水栓本体に組み込むためのコンパクトな浄水器がなく、浄水器処理水と水道水との切り替えができない。
【0005】
【発明の解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、以上の欠点を解消し、台所の狭い作業空間を有効に使うことができ、さらに使い勝手がよい水栓を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、以下の点に特徴を有する。
請求項1では、水道水を浄化する浄水器に接続され、さらに給湯熱源に接続された水栓であって、浄水器にて処理された水を吐出する清水用吐水管と、前記給湯熱源にて生成された温水を吐出する温水用吐出管とを備えた水栓において、前記清水吐出管の先端に吐水及び止水を指示するセンサを設け、さらに前記温水用吐水管の先端に通水流量を設定すると共に止水可能な開閉弁を設け、そして前記清水吐水管と温水用吐水管との水栓本体に対する鉛直方向の高さを違えたことを特徴とする。
【0007】
これにより、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。
【0008】
請求項2では、請求項1において、前記センサーがタッチセンサーであることを特徴とする。
【0009】
これにより、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。さらに、誤動作を防止することができる。
【0010】
請求項3では、請求項1乃至請求項2において、前記温水用吐水管の開閉弁の下流側に、散水状吐水及び集中吐水とを切換えることができる切替弁を備えることを特徴とする。
【0011】
これにより、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。さらに、誤動作を防止することができる。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の内容を以下に説明する。
図1は本発明の外観図であり、図2は図1の断面図である。
本発明は、浄水器1とガス給湯機2に接続され、浄水器1にて処理された水(清水)と、ガス給湯機2により一定温度で吐出された温水とを、別々の吐水管から吐水するものである。
【0013】
浄水器1用の吐水管3は略L字形状をしており、先端にセンサー5が設けられており、このセンサー5によって使用者の手を感知することにより、清水が吐水するようになっている。ここで、センサー5は、光電式投受光素子や静電容量変化を検知するタッチセンサが考えられるが、台所での利用であることを考えると、確実に吐水・止水を設定できるタッチセンサーがよい。さらに、後述するように浄水器1用の吐出管3は、水栓本体6とパッキン12を介して接続されており、水栓本体6の鉛直軸に対して、180度回転可能となっている。
【0014】
また、温水吐水用の吐水管4は略L字形状をしており、先端に開閉弁7を設けており、さらに吐水形態を散水状及び集中吐水状に切換えることができる切替弁8を備えている。ここで、開閉弁は従来公知の2枚のディスクバルブにより構成され、ハンドルを開閉することにより両ディスクの開度が変わり、流量調整及び止水が可能としている。さらに、切替弁8は従来公知の構成からなり、ハンドルを回転することで散水状吐水と集中吐水とに切換えることができるものである。さらに、温水用吐出管4は水栓本体6とパッキン部13で接続されており、水栓本体の鉛直軸に対して、180度回転可能となっている。
【0015】
ここで、浄水器1用の吐水管3と温水吐水用の吐水管4との水栓本体6からの高さを違えており、両者を回転することにより、浄水用の吐水管と温水吐水用の吐水管とをほぼ一列に並べることができるので、非常に使い勝手がよい。
【0016】
図2は図1の断面図であり、浄水器1により処理された清水が流入する清水流入口10と、ガス給湯機2により一定温度の温水にされた温水流入口11とがある。さらに、清水流入口10より流入した清水が水栓本体6内部を通り、パッキン12により接続された吐出管3に接続され、温水流入口11より流入した温水は、パッキン13により接続された温水吐水管4に接続されている。また、タッチセンサー5の信号線14は浄水用吐水管の内部から、水栓本体6を経由して、カウンター下に設けたコントローラ15を介して、浄水器1と水栓本体6の間に設けた電磁弁16に接続されている。
【0017】
以下に、清水及び温水の使用方法を説明する。
浄水の使用方法は、吐水管3先端に設けたタッチセンサー5に手を触れることにより、吐水信号が信号線14によりコントローラ15に伝わり、コントローラ15が電磁弁16に開弁信号を発する。これにより、浄水器にて処理された清水が吐出すると同時に新たな水道水が浄水器1に流入する。浄水器1より吐出した清水は水栓本体6の清水流入口10に入り、その後、パッキン12部を経由して浄水器吐水管3より吐出する。
【0018】
また、温水の使用方法は、必要な温水温度を給湯機用リモコン(図示せず)にて設定し、開閉弁7を開くことにより、所定の温度の温水がガス給湯機2より吐出し、水栓本体の温水流入口11より流入し、パッキン13部を経由して温水吐水管4より吐出する。
【0019】
尚、本実施形態においては、水道水の加熱熱源としてガス給湯器の例を示したが、この場合に限定されることなく、例えば石油給湯器、電気温水器、ヒートポンプ式給湯器等の他の熱源を利用することも当然できる。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
請求項1では、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。
請求項2では、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。さらに、誤動作を防止することができる。
請求項3では、通常の水栓と浄水器用の水栓の操作部を、一つの水栓の吐水口近傍に集中することができるので、使い勝手が良い。さらに、誤動作を防止することができる。

[0011]
Thereby, the operation parts of the normal faucet and the faucet for the water purifier can be concentrated near the water outlet of one faucet, so that the usability is good. Further, malfunction can be prevented.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The contents of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is an external view of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of FIG.
The present invention is connected to a water purifier 1 and a gas water heater 2 and separates water (clear water) treated by the water purifier 1 and hot water discharged at a constant temperature by the gas water heater 2 from separate water discharge pipes. It is what discharges water.
[0013]
The water discharge pipe 3 for the water purifier 1 has a substantially L-shape, and a sensor 5 is provided at a tip thereof. When the sensor 5 detects a user's hand, fresh water is discharged. I have. Here, the sensor 5 may be a photoelectric sensor or a touch sensor that detects a change in capacitance. However, considering that the sensor 5 is used in a kitchen, a touch sensor that can reliably set water discharge and water stoppage is used. Good. Further, as described later, the discharge pipe 3 for the water purifier 1 is connected to the faucet main body 6 via the packing 12, and is rotatable by 180 degrees with respect to the vertical axis of the faucet main body 6. .
[0014]
Further, the water discharge pipe 4 for hot water discharge has a substantially L-shape, is provided with an opening / closing valve 7 at a tip thereof, and further includes a switching valve 8 which can switch the water discharge form into a water spray form and a concentrated water discharge form. I have. Here, the opening / closing valve is constituted by a conventionally known two disk valve, and the opening degree of both disks is changed by opening / closing the handle, so that the flow rate can be adjusted and water can be stopped. Further, the switching valve 8 has a conventionally known configuration, and can switch between sprinkled water discharge and concentrated water discharge by rotating a handle. Further, the hot water discharge pipe 4 is connected to the faucet main body 6 by a packing portion 13 and is rotatable by 180 degrees with respect to a vertical axis of the faucet main body.
[0015]
Here, the height of the water discharge pipe 3 for the water purifier 1 and the height of the water discharge pipe 4 for hot water discharge from the faucet main body 6 are different, and by rotating both, the water discharge pipe for water purification and the water discharge pipe for hot water discharge are provided. Since the water discharge pipes can be arranged substantially in a line, it is very convenient.
[0016]
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, including a fresh water inlet 10 into which fresh water treated by the water purifier 1 flows, and a hot water inlet 11 heated to a constant temperature by the gas water heater 2. Further, the fresh water flowing from the fresh water inlet 10 passes through the inside of the faucet body 6 and is connected to the discharge pipe 3 connected by the packing 12, and the hot water flowing from the hot water inlet 11 is discharged by the hot water discharger connected by the packing 13. It is connected to the water pipe 4. In addition, a signal line 14 of the touch sensor 5 is provided between the water purifier 1 and the faucet body 6 from the inside of the water purifying water pipe via the faucet body 6 via a controller 15 provided under the counter. Connected to the solenoid valve 16.
[0017]
Hereinafter, a method of using fresh water and hot water will be described.
The method of using the purified water is as follows. When the user touches the touch sensor 5 provided at the tip of the water discharge pipe 3, the water discharge signal is transmitted to the controller 15 via the signal line 14, and the controller 15 issues a valve opening signal to the electromagnetic valve 16. As a result, fresh tap water flows into the water purifier 1 at the same time that fresh water treated by the water purifier is discharged. The fresh water discharged from the water purifier 1 enters the fresh water inlet 10 of the faucet main body 6, and then is discharged from the water purifier discharge pipe 3 via the packing 12 part.
[0018]
The method of using the hot water is as follows. The required hot water temperature is set by a remote controller (not shown) for the hot water heater, and by opening the on-off valve 7, the hot water of a predetermined temperature is discharged from the gas hot water heater 2, It flows in from the hot water inlet 11 of the plug body and is discharged from the hot water discharge pipe 4 via the packing 13.
[0019]
In addition, in this embodiment, although the example of the gas water heater was shown as a heating heat source of tap water, without being limited to this case, for example, other oil heaters, electric water heaters, heat pump water heaters, etc. Naturally, a heat source can be used.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect, the operation part of the normal faucet and the faucet for the water purifier can be concentrated in the vicinity of the water discharge port of one faucet, so that the usability is good.
According to the second aspect, the operation parts of the normal faucet and the faucet for the water purifier can be concentrated in the vicinity of the water outlet of one faucet, so that the usability is good. Further, malfunction can be prevented.
According to the third aspect, since the operation parts of the normal faucet and the faucet for the water purifier can be concentrated near the water outlet of one faucet, the usability is good. Further, malfunction can be prevented.
