Description

  The present invention relates to a drainage device that can be used in a bathroom vanity or the like.

  As a conventional drainage device that can be used in a bathroom vanity or the like, typically, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a kelp 6 is attached to the upper end opening 5 of the drainage plug 4 so as to be movable up and down. A drive rod 7 is provided at one end of the release wire [inner cable] 10, an operation portion 8 is provided at the other end of the release wire 10, and a drain plug is provided vertically from the top end 16 of the drive rod 7 from the kerep 6. A drainage device 1x having a drive rod control mechanism 11 that is connected to the lower end of the slide shaft 15 and is formed so as to be capable of responding to the vertical movement of the distal end portion 16 of the drive rod 7 (for example, JP-A-7-224451). Etc.) are known.

However, in such a conventional drainage device 1x, the release wire 10 that drives the drive rod 7 is not particularly restricted, and as a result, a free curvature (about R50 to R100) is taken. Therefore, a large space is required for the bent portion 13 of the release wire 10 on the back side of the mounting portion of the pop-up pulling rod 8a that is the operation portion 8 (for example, here, the drive rod 7 is driven from the surface of the counter 17). The depth [L0] for accommodating the release 9 is required to be 100 mm or more.) As a result of the increase in dead space, for example, the effective space available for the accommodation space and the like is relatively reduced. (See FIG. 4).

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned background art, and the problem is that in a drainage device that can be used for a vanity etc., the dead space in the cabinet can be reduced as much as possible, and the storage space can be effectively used. It is to provide a drainage device that can secure a sufficient space.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the drainage device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the kelp attached to the upper end opening of the drainage plug provided on the bottom surface of the water storage section can be moved up and down in accordance with the displacement of the drive rod. In the drainage device in which the Kelep is formed so as to be able to move freely by operating an operation unit directly connected to a drive rod control mechanism for controlling the displacement of the drive rod via a release wire, the drive rod control mechanism includes the release rod. A release bending adapter member capable of driving the wire with a predetermined curvature is provided.

  The drainage device of the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that in the drainage device according to claim 1, the release bending adapter member has a linear drive region.

  In the drainage device of the present invention, the Kellep attached to the upper end opening of the drain plug provided on the bottom surface of the water storage section is movable up and down corresponding to the displacement of the drive rod, and the displacement of the drive rod is controlled via the release wire. In the drainage device in which the Kelep is formed so as to be able to move freely by operating an operation unit directly connected to the drive rod control mechanism, the drive rod control mechanism includes a release bending adapter member that can drive the release wire with a predetermined curvature. Therefore, for example, a space that can be effectively used such as a storage space in a cabinet or the like can be sufficiently secured.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the drainage device of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Here, FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing an outline of the internal structure of a vanity equipped with a drainage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the other hand, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing the outline of the main part of the internal structure of the vanity equipped with the drainage apparatus which is an embodiment different from the above of the present invention. Further, FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing an outline of the internal structure of a vanity equipped with a drainage apparatus which is an embodiment further different from the above of the present invention.
[First Embodiment]
As described above, FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing the outline of the internal structure of a vanity equipped with a drainage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, the drainage device 1a of the present embodiment has a drive rod 7 that has a kelp (drainage plug body) 6 attached to an upper end opening 5 of a drainage plug 4 provided on a bottom surface 3 of a wash bowl 2a that is a water storage part 2 of a vanity. The movement of the drive rod 7 can be moved up and down in response to the displacement of the drive rod 7 and the displacement of the drive rod 7 is controlled by operating the pop-up pulling rod 8a which is the operation portion 8 directly connected to the drive rod control mechanism 11 which controls the displacement. In this drainage device 1a, the drive rod control mechanism 11 includes a release bending adapter member 12 that can drive the release wire 10 with a predetermined curvature. . Here, the drive rod control mechanism 11 reaches the drive rod 7 via the operation unit 8 (here, the pop-up pulling rod 8a) and the release 9 (including the release wire 10), and the displacement of the drive rod 7 is released. It is a series of mechanisms controlled through the wire 10. In addition, the release bending adapter member 12 forcibly bends the release wire 10 to a relatively small radius of curvature (about R30) and changes its direction. This is fixed to a predetermined shape, size, etc., and by incorporating this into the drive rod control mechanism 11, the space of the bent portion 13 of the release wire 10 is fixed small, and the dead space resulting from this is reduced. As a result, it is possible to secure a larger effective space that can be used as a storage space or the like.

  Furthermore, in the drainage device 1a of the present embodiment, since the release bending adapter member 12 has the linear drive region 14, the drive rod 7 can be driven smoothly and stably via the release wire 10. Become.

Here, as shown in FIG. 1, a pop-up pull bar 8a is attached to the surface of the counter 17, and the release wire 10 extending in the vertical direction from the pop-up pull bar 8a has a relatively small radius of curvature as described above. A release bending adapter member 12 whose orientation is changed in the horizontal direction at about (R30), the dead space caused by the bent portion 13 of the release wire 10 can be minimized, and the direction of the release 9 can be changed. Become. Specifically, in the drainage device 1a of the present embodiment, unlike the conventional example, the depth [L1] for accommodating the release 9 for driving the drive rod 7 from the surface of the counter 17 is set to about 70 mm. In other words, the bent portion 13 of the release 9 can be stored compactly in a narrow space behind the counter 17.
[Second Embodiment]
The compact storage of the bent portion 13 of the release 9 is not limited to the back side of the counter 17. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the pop-up pull bar 8 a is placed on the surface of the back guard 18 of the wash bowl 2 a which is the water storage part 2 of the washstand having the back guard 18 having a high standing and a small depth dimension (about 70 mm). Also in the case of attachment, the release wire 10 can be accommodated in a small space in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, a pop-up pull bar 8a is attached to the surface of the back guard 18, and the release wire 10 extending in the horizontal direction from the pop-up pull bar 8a is connected to the case of the first embodiment. Similarly, a release bending adapter member 12 that changes its direction in the vertical direction with a relatively small radius of curvature (about R30) is interposed to reduce the dead space caused by the bent portion 13 of the release wire 10 as much as possible. The direction can be changed. Specifically, in the drainage device 1b of the present embodiment, the depth dimension [L2] for accommodating the release 9 from the surface of the back guard 18 is about 70 mm as in the case of the first embodiment. Will be able to. As a result, even in a vanity having a back guard 18 having a small depth dimension [L2] (about 70 mm), the bent portion 13 of the release 9 can be compactly accommodated within the allowable dimensions of the back guard 18.
[Third Embodiment]
On the other hand, such dead space can be reduced also in the release 9 in the vicinity of the drain pipe. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the drainage device 1 c of the present embodiment, in the release 9 in the vicinity of the drainage pipe, the release bending adapter member 12 is interposed to suppress the release of the release 9 extending below the drainage plug. Thus, the dead space caused by the bent portion 13 of the release wire 10 can be made as small as possible, and the space 20 in the cabinet 19 can be widened.

  As described above, in the drainage device of the present invention, the kelep attached to the upper end opening of the drain plug provided on the bottom surface of the water storage section is movable up and down corresponding to the displacement of the drive rod, and the displacement of the drive rod is set to the release wire. In a drainage device in which the Kelep is formed so as to be able to move freely by operating an operation unit directly connected to a drive rod control mechanism that is controlled via a release rod, the drive rod control mechanism can drive the release wire with a predetermined curvature. Since the bending adapter member is provided, for example, a space that can be effectively used such as a storage space in a cabinet or the like can be sufficiently secured.
