Description

本発明は、元止め式のホース付き吐水口を有するシャワーヘッド等の水栓具において、ホース元側の開閉弁の開閉操作を、無線電波（ここでは電磁波を含む、以下同じ）を受信して電源の供給を受け、この電源を利用してデータをアンテナから送信するようにした無線タグを利用して行うようにした技術に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a faucet such as a shower head having a water outlet with a stop type hose, and the opening / closing operation of the on / off valve on the hose base side is performed by receiving radio waves (here, including electromagnetic waves, the same applies hereinafter). The present invention relates to a technology that uses a wireless tag that is supplied with power and uses this power to transmit data from an antenna.

元止め式のホース付き吐水口を有するシャワーヘッドの技術としては、特許文献１に記載されたものが公知である。この特許文献１の技術は、シャワーヘッドの把持部の背面側に、受光部を有する信号発生部を設け、これを制御部に光ファイバーで連絡している。制御部は、ホース元側の開閉弁を開閉制御するようになっている。   As a technique of a shower head having a main-stop type water outlet with a hose, one described in Patent Document 1 is known. In the technique of Patent Document 1, a signal generation unit having a light receiving unit is provided on the back side of a gripping unit of a shower head, and this is communicated with a control unit via an optical fiber. The control unit controls opening / closing of the on-off valve on the hose base side.

シャワーヘッドが係止具（シャワーフック）に係止されている状態では、係止具によって受光部が遮られることになり、自然光や浴室内照明等の光が受光部で受光されなくなる。そのため、信号発生部から制御部へ送信される光信号が受光部において遮断され、開閉弁は閉となって止水のままとなる。
これに対して、係止具からシャワーヘッドを取り外すと、受光部が開放され、制御部へ光信号が送られて開閉弁が開へ操作される。これにより、シャワーヘッドの吐水口から吐水が行われる。またシャワーヘッドの把持部を握って係止具から取り外した場合において、使用者の手によって受光部が遮られる。そのため、開閉弁は閉となって止水となる。
実開平４−７７３９３号公報 In the state where the shower head is locked to the locking tool (shower hook), the light receiving part is blocked by the locking tool, and light such as natural light or lighting in the bathroom is not received by the light receiving part. For this reason, the optical signal transmitted from the signal generating unit to the control unit is blocked in the light receiving unit, the on-off valve is closed and the water is still stopped.
On the other hand, when the shower head is removed from the locking tool, the light receiving unit is opened, an optical signal is sent to the control unit, and the on-off valve is operated to open. Thereby, water is discharged from the water outlet of the shower head. When the grip portion of the shower head is grasped and removed from the locking tool, the light receiving portion is blocked by the user's hand. Therefore, the on-off valve is closed and water is stopped.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-77393

このように、前記特許文献１に記載された発明にあっては、シャワーヘッドが係止具に係止されているか又は使用者が把持部を把持している場合には、受光部が遮蔽されるので開閉弁は閉であり、シャワー水が吐水されることはない。ところが、使用者がシャワーヘッドの把持部以外の先端部等を掴んで係止具から取り外した場合には、受光部が使用者の手によって遮蔽されなくなり、開閉弁が開となって、吐水口からシャワー水が不意に吐出されるという問題があった。
この問題はシャワーヘッドが洗面化粧台等において、吐水用の水栓を兼用するものとして利用される場合には、シャワーヘッドを取り出したときに不意に衣服等を濡らす事態になり、特に問題であった。 Thus, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, when the shower head is locked to the locking tool or the user is holding the grip, the light receiving portion is shielded. Therefore, the on-off valve is closed and shower water is not discharged. However, when the user grasps the tip other than the grip portion of the shower head and removes it from the locking tool, the light receiving portion is not shielded by the user's hand, the on-off valve is opened, and the spout There was a problem that the shower water was discharged unexpectedly.
This problem is particularly problematic when the shower head is used as a faucet for water discharge in a bathroom vanity, etc., when the shower head is taken out and the clothes are suddenly wetted. It was.

本発明は従来の前記課題に鑑みてこれを改良除去したものであって、配線接続が不要な無線タグを利用し、使用者が意図的にスイッチ操作しない限りは吐水することのない水栓具を提供せんとするものである。   The present invention is an improvement and removal in view of the above-described problems, and uses a wireless tag that does not require wiring connection and does not discharge water unless the user intentionally operates the faucet. Is intended to provide.

而して、前記課題を解決するために本発明が採用した請求項１の手段は、元止め式のホース付き吐水口を有する水栓具において、水栓具本体にホース元側の開閉弁を操作する無線タグを配置して成り、該無線タグは、無線電波を受信するアンテナと、無線電波を受信して電源の供給を受け、この電源を利用してデータをアンテナから送信するタグＩＣと、データの送信をＯＮ／ＯＦＦ制御するスイッチとで構成されていることを特徴とする無線タグを利用した水栓具である。   Thus, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means of claim 1 adopted by the present invention is a faucet having a main-stop type hose-equipped water outlet, wherein a hose base side opening / closing valve is provided on the faucet body. The wireless tag includes an antenna that receives a radio wave, a tag IC that receives the radio wave, receives power supply, and transmits data from the antenna using the power supply. A faucet using a wireless tag, characterized by comprising a switch for ON / OFF control of data transmission.

本発明が採用した請求項２の手段は、元止め式のホース付き吐水口を有する水栓具において、水栓具本体に、ホース元側の開閉弁を操作する操作用の無線タグと、水栓具の係止状態を検知するための無線タグと、人体を検知してホース元側の開閉弁を操作する人体検知スイッチとを配置して成り、前記二つの無線タグは、無線電波を受信するアンテナと、無線電波を受信して電源の供給を受け、この電源を利用してデータをアンテナから送信するタグＩＣと、データの送信をＯＮ／ＯＦＦ制御するスイッチとで構成されており、前記係止状態検知用の無線タグは水栓具が係止具から取り外されると人体検知スイッチの機能を停止することを特徴とする無線タグを利用した水栓具である。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a faucet having a main-stop type water hose with a hose, an operation-use wireless tag for operating an on-off valve on the hose base side, a water faucet body, The wireless tag for detecting the locking state of the stopper and the human body detection switch for detecting the human body and operating the opening / closing valve on the hose side are arranged, and the two wireless tags receive radio waves. And a tag IC that receives wireless radio waves and receives power supply, transmits data from the antenna using this power supply, and a switch that controls ON / OFF of data transmission. The wireless tag for detecting the locking state is a water faucet using a wireless tag, which stops the function of the human body detection switch when the faucet is removed from the locking device.

請求項１の発明にあっては、使用者が無線タグのスイッチをＯＮ動作させると、アンテナ回路が形成され、当該アンテナがリーダ側から発信された無線電波を受信する。これにより、タグＩＣに電源が供給され、当該電源を利用してタグＩＣに保存されていたデータがアンテナを通じて送信される。送信されたデータは、リーダ側のアンテナに受信され、制御回路を介してホース元側の開閉弁を開にし、吐水を開始する。
このように、本発明にあっては、使用者がスイッチ操作をしない限り、開閉弁が開となることがなく、水栓具をその係止具から取り外しただけで、吐水されて衣服や床を濡らす等のことがない。
また無線タグは、無線電波を利用して電源の供給を受け、データを送信するようになっており、電源及び配線が不要である。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the user turns on the switch of the wireless tag, an antenna circuit is formed, and the antenna receives a radio wave transmitted from the reader side. As a result, power is supplied to the tag IC, and data stored in the tag IC is transmitted through the antenna using the power. The transmitted data is received by the antenna on the reader side, and the on-off valve on the hose base side is opened via the control circuit to start water discharge.
As described above, according to the present invention, unless the user performs a switch operation, the on-off valve is not opened. There is no such thing as wetting.
In addition, the wireless tag is supplied with power using wireless radio waves and transmits data, so that a power supply and wiring are unnecessary.

請求項２の発明にあっては、水栓具が係止具に係止されている状態では、これを検知する無線タグが人体検知スイッチを使用可能な状態に維持する。そのため、使用者が手などの人体の一部を吐水口の下方へ差し出す等により、人体検知スイッチが開閉弁を開にすべく、ＯＮ動作する。これにより、吐水が開始される。またこの水栓具が係止具に係止されている状態で、開閉弁操作用の無線タグのスイッチをＯＮ動作させると、請求項１の発明の場合と同じように、無線電波による開閉弁の操作ができ、吐水が得られる。   In the invention of claim 2, when the faucet is locked to the locking tool, the wireless tag for detecting this maintains the human body detection switch in a usable state. Therefore, when the user inserts a part of the human body such as a hand below the water outlet, the human body detection switch is turned on to open the on-off valve. Thereby, water discharge is started. In addition, when the switch of the wireless tag for opening / closing the valve is turned ON in a state where the water faucet is locked to the locking tool, as in the case of the invention of claim 1, the open / close valve by the radio wave is used. Can be operated and water discharge is obtained.

一方、水栓具が係止具から取り外された状態では、係止状態検知用の無線タグがこれを検知して人体検知スイッチの機能を停止する。そのため、水栓具をフック等の係止具から取り外しても不意に吐水が開始されるようなことはない。この場合は、開閉弁操作用の無線タグのスイッチを使用者がＯＮにすることによって、開閉弁がＯＮとなり、吐水が開始される。   On the other hand, in a state where the faucet is removed from the locking device, the locking state detection wireless tag detects this and stops the function of the human body detection switch. For this reason, even if the faucet is removed from the hook or the like, water discharge does not start unexpectedly. In this case, when the user turns on the switch of the on-off valve operation wireless tag, the on-off valve is turned on and water discharge is started.

以下に、本発明の構成を図面に示す発明の実施の形態に基づいて説明すると次の通りである。図１及び図２は本発明の第１の実施の形態に係るものであり、図１は浴室に設置したシャワーヘッド１の給湯機構を示す縦断面側面図、図２はは無線タグ２の電気回路構成を示す図面である。図１に示す如く、この実施の形態のシャワーヘッド１は、壁面３に固定された係止具４に係脱自在になされており、係止したままの使用、手で持った状態での使用が選択的に行えるようになっている。シャワーヘッド１は、先端に吐水口５を有し、ホース６及び電磁式の開閉弁７を介して湯水混合水栓８に連通接続されている。図１において、符号９は、浴室内に設置された湯水混合水栓８の温度設定装置である。   The configuration of the present invention will be described below based on the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings. 1 and 2 relate to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional side view showing a hot water supply mechanism of a shower head 1 installed in a bathroom, and FIG. It is drawing which shows a circuit structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the shower head 1 of this embodiment is detachable from a locking tool 4 fixed to a wall surface 3, and can be used while held or held by hand. Can be selectively performed. The shower head 1 has a water discharge port 5 at its tip, and is connected to a hot and cold water mixing faucet 8 through a hose 6 and an electromagnetic on-off valve 7. In FIG. 1, the code | symbol 9 is the temperature setting apparatus of the hot / cold water faucet 8 installed in the bathroom.

またシャワーヘッド１の本体１Ａの上部正面側には、無線タグ２が組み込み方式、貼付方式等の方法により取り付けられている。無線タグ２は、図２に示すように、無線電波を受信するアンテナ１０と、無線電波を受信して電源の供給を受け、この電源を利用してデータをアンテナ１０から送信する無線タグＩＣ１１と、当該無線タグＩＣ１１のデータの送信をＯＮ／ＯＦＦ制御するスイッチ１２とからなる。スイッチ１２は、二つの電極を指（身体の一部）で触ることによりＯＮ動作するようなものや、機械的なリミットスイッチであってもよく、あるいは静電容量センサーであってもよい。静電容量センサーである場合は、指先でセンサーをタッチすればよい。   A wireless tag 2 is attached to the upper front side of the main body 1A of the shower head 1 by a method such as a built-in method or a sticking method. As shown in FIG. 2, the wireless tag 2 includes an antenna 10 that receives wireless radio waves, a wireless tag IC 11 that receives the wireless radio waves, receives power supply, and transmits data from the antenna 10 using the power supply. And a switch 12 for ON / OFF control of data transmission of the wireless tag IC 11. The switch 12 may be one that is turned on by touching two electrodes with a finger (part of the body), a mechanical limit switch, or a capacitance sensor. In the case of a capacitance sensor, the sensor may be touched with a fingertip.

一方、壁面３には、前記無線タグ２との送受信を行うためのリーダ装置１３が埋め込まれている。該リーダ装置１３は、ホース元側の開閉弁７を開閉制御する機能を有するソレノイド装置１４に信号出力するようになっている。   On the other hand, a reader device 13 for performing transmission / reception with the wireless tag 2 is embedded in the wall surface 3. The reader device 13 outputs a signal to a solenoid device 14 having a function of controlling opening / closing of the on-off valve 7 on the hose base side.

次に、このように構成されたシャワーヘッド１の使用態様を説明する。シャワーヘッド１を係止具４へ係止したままの状態で、あるいは手で持った状態でシャワー吐水を行いたい場合は、シャワーヘッド本体１Ａに設けた無線タグ２のスイッチ１２をタッチする等によりＯＮ動作させればよい。これにより、リーダ装置１３のアンテナ（図示せず）から送信されている無線電波を、無線タグＩＣ１１のアンテナ１０が受信し、無線タグＩＣ１１内部の電圧回路に動作ようの電圧を発生させるようになる。   Next, the usage aspect of the shower head 1 comprised in this way is demonstrated. If you want to perform shower water discharge while the shower head 1 is locked to the locking tool 4 or held by hand, touch the switch 12 of the wireless tag 2 provided on the shower head body 1A. The ON operation may be performed. As a result, the radio wave transmitted from the antenna (not shown) of the reader device 13 is received by the antenna 10 of the radio tag IC 11, and an operating voltage is generated in the voltage circuit inside the radio tag IC 11. .

またスイッチ１２がＯＮになったことにより、無線タグＩＣ１１に記憶されているデータが無線通信インターフエイスを通じてアンテナ１０からリーダ装置１３側のアンテナを経てリーダ装置１３側へ取り込まれる。リーダ装置１３は、送信されたデータに応じた設定動作を行う。この場合、開閉弁７のソレノイド装置１４へ開動作信号を送信する。ソレノイド装置１４は、開閉弁７を開にする。これにより、湯水混合水栓８で所定温度に調節された温水が開閉弁７からホース６を通じてシャワーヘッド１に供給され、吐水口５から吐出される。   When the switch 12 is turned on, data stored in the wireless tag IC 11 is taken from the antenna 10 to the reader device 13 through the antenna on the reader device 13 side through the wireless communication interface. The reader device 13 performs a setting operation according to the transmitted data. In this case, an opening operation signal is transmitted to the solenoid device 14 of the on-off valve 7. The solenoid device 14 opens the on-off valve 7. Thereby, the hot water adjusted to a predetermined temperature by the hot and cold water mixing tap 8 is supplied from the opening / closing valve 7 to the shower head 1 through the hose 6 and discharged from the water outlet 5.

止水したい場合は、無線タグ２のスイッチ１２から指を放す等してＯＦＦ動作させればよい。また別途フリップ・フロップ回路を付加する等により、操作したスイッチ状態を維持するようにし、最初にスイッチ１２を押すとＯＮとなってそのまま維持され、次にスイッチ１２を押すとＯＦＦとなってＯＦＦの状態が維持されるようなものであってもよい。更に、無線タグ２を、図３に示すように、三個準備し、それぞれに操作を可能な状態にする動作用のもの、吐水用のもの、止水用のもののように機能を別けたリモコンタイプとすることも可能である。   When it is desired to stop the water, the OFF operation may be performed by releasing the finger from the switch 12 of the wireless tag 2. In addition, the operated switch state is maintained by adding a separate flip-flop circuit or the like. When the switch 12 is first pressed, the switch is turned on and maintained. When the switch 12 is pressed next, the switch is turned off and turned off. It may be such that the state is maintained. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, three wireless tags 2 are prepared, and remote controllers with different functions such as those for operation, water discharge, and water stop, each of which can be operated. It can also be a type.

このように本実施の形態では、シャワーヘッド１側の無線タグ２と、リーダ装置１３側とは、無線インターフエイスを通じて電源の供給を受け、また開閉弁７の制御用の信号のやりとりを行うことができる。そのため、前記無線タグ２に電源を供給するための配線及びその信号を出力するための配線が不要である。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the wireless tag 2 on the shower head 1 side and the reader device 13 side are supplied with power through the wireless interface and exchange control signals for the on-off valve 7. Can do. Therefore, wiring for supplying power to the wireless tag 2 and wiring for outputting the signal are not necessary.

図４は本発明の第２の実施の形態に係るシャワーヘッド１５の給湯機構を示す縦断面側面図である。同図に示す如く、この実施の形態では、図１に示す無線タグ２に加えて、シャワーヘッド本体１５Ａの係止状態を検知するための無線タグ１６と、人体検知スイッチ１７とをシャワーヘッド本体１５Ａに取り付けている。人体検知スイッチ１７は、赤外線センサ等であり、シャワーヘッド本体１５Ａ及びホース６の配管内を通じて配線され、信号制御器１８へ接続されている。また係止具４の近くの壁面３には、無線タグ１６のリーダ装置１９が埋め込まれている。このリーダ装置１９は、前記信号制御器１８へ信号を出力し、制御器１８は開閉弁７のソレノイド装置１４へ信号を出力し、これを制御するようになっている。その他の構成並びに雨滴を検知する動作態様は前記第１の実施の形態の場合と同じである。   FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional side view showing a hot water supply mechanism of the shower head 15 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, in addition to the wireless tag 2 shown in FIG. 1, a wireless tag 16 for detecting the locking state of the shower head body 15A and a human body detection switch 17 are provided. It is attached to 15A. The human body detection switch 17 is an infrared sensor or the like, and is wired through the piping of the shower head main body 15 </ b> A and the hose 6, and is connected to the signal controller 18. A reader device 19 for the wireless tag 16 is embedded in the wall surface 3 near the locking tool 4. The reader device 19 outputs a signal to the signal controller 18, and the controller 18 outputs a signal to the solenoid device 14 of the on-off valve 7 and controls it. Other configurations and operation modes for detecting raindrops are the same as those in the first embodiment.

次に、シャワーヘッド１５の使用態様を説明する。シャワーヘッド１５が係止具４に係止された図４に示す状態では、無線タグ２及び人体検知スイッチ１７の両方が動作可能な状態にある。そのため、シャワーヘッド１５の吐水口５の下方へ使用者が手を差し出すと、人体検知スイッチ１７がこれを検知してＯＮ出力し、信号制御器１８を介してソレノイド装置１４へ開閉弁７を開動作させる信号を出力する。これにより、湯水混合水栓８で所定の温度に調節された温水が開閉弁７、ホース６からシャワーヘッド１５へ流入し、吐水口５から吐水されることになる。   Next, how the shower head 15 is used will be described. In the state shown in FIG. 4 in which the shower head 15 is locked to the locking tool 4, both the wireless tag 2 and the human body detection switch 17 are operable. Therefore, when the user puts his hand below the water outlet 5 of the shower head 15, the human body detection switch 17 detects this and outputs an ON signal, and opens the on-off valve 7 to the solenoid device 14 via the signal controller 18. Output a signal to operate. Thereby, the hot water adjusted to a predetermined temperature by the hot and cold water mixing faucet 8 flows into the shower head 15 from the on-off valve 7 and the hose 6 and is discharged from the water outlet 5.

一方、シャワーヘッド本体１５Ａを係止具４から取り外すと、無線タグ１６のスイッチ１２がＯＮとなり、無線ＩＣタグ１１内のデータをアンテナ１０を介してリーダ装置１９へ送信する。リーダ装置１９は、当該データを信号制御器１８へ出力し、これをＯＦＦ動作させる。これにより、人体検知スイッチ１７の機能が停止する。すなわち、シャワーヘッド本体１５Ａを係止具４から取り外すと、無線タグ１６がこれを検知し、人体検知スイッチ１７の機能を停止するので、係止具４からシャワーヘッド本体１５Ａが離れた直後に吐水が開始されることを確実に防止でき、衣服や床等を濡らす等の事故がない。
シャワーヘッド本体１５Ａを係止具４から取り外した状態では、前記第１の実施の形態の場合と同じように、無線タグ２を通じてシャワー吐水を制御を行えばよい。 On the other hand, when the shower head main body 15 </ b> A is removed from the locking tool 4, the switch 12 of the wireless tag 16 is turned ON, and data in the wireless IC tag 11 is transmitted to the reader device 19 via the antenna 10. The reader device 19 outputs the data to the signal controller 18 and turns it off. As a result, the function of the human body detection switch 17 is stopped. That is, when the shower head main body 15A is removed from the locking tool 4, the wireless tag 16 detects this and stops the function of the human body detection switch 17, so that the water discharge occurs immediately after the shower head main body 15A is separated from the locking tool 4. Can be reliably prevented, and there is no accident such as wetting of clothes or floor.
In the state where the shower head main body 15A is removed from the locking tool 4, the shower water discharge may be controlled through the wireless tag 2 as in the case of the first embodiment.

ところで、本発明は上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜の変更が可能である。例えば、水栓具として浴室の壁面へ設置したシャワーヘッドの場合を説明したが、洗面化粧台のシャワーと吐水との切り換えが可能なホース付きの水栓具へ適用することも可能であり、その他の水栓具の吐水切換装置として利用することが可能である。   By the way, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A suitable change is possible. For example, the case of a shower head installed on the wall surface of a bathroom as a faucet was explained, but it is also possible to apply to a faucet with a hose that can be switched between a shower on a bathroom vanity and water discharge. It can be used as a water discharge switching device for a water faucet.
