The above-described remote-operated drain plug device is applied to drainage equipment equipped with a tank body such as a wash basin and a bathtub as follows.
The drain plug and the elbow member are connected through an opening provided on the bottom surface of the tank body, and fixed to the bottom surface of the tank body. Next, the operation part is attached in the vicinity of the tank body such as a counter of the tank body, and the operation part and the connection part of the elbow member are connected via a tube tube.
Next, after connecting one end of the release wire to the holding mechanism portion, the other end side is inserted through the tube tube from the operation portion to reach the elbow member. At this time, the length is adjusted in advance, and when one end of the release wire reaches the elbow member, the holding mechanism portion is accommodated and fixed in the operation portion.

ところで、遠隔操作式排水栓装置のレリースワイヤには、以下のような問題点があった。   By the way, the release wire of the remote control type drain plug device has the following problems.

洗面台や浴槽等の排水機器において、排水口や操作部の位置は製品ごとにまちまちで、配管/配線などもその時々の施工状態によって変化する。このため、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の操作を伝達する部材としては、金属の棒などではなく、金属の縒り線からなるワイヤー線や、軟質樹脂などの中空管を利用した、可撓性のあるレリースワイヤが用いられる。一方で、レリースワイヤの端部には、操作部の保持機構部やワイヤ保持具等を接続するために、剛性のある金属や硬質の樹脂材などでネジなどの接続機構を構成する必要がある。このように、レリースワイヤの本体部分と端部とでは要求される性質(硬度)に相違があり、実際には何らかの方法で、柔らかいレリースワイヤの端部に、接続の為の剛性のある部材を取り付ける必要があった。
しかしながら、次の1.乃至3.のような問題があった。
1.レリースワイヤと接続の部材とを、接着などの方法で取り付けると、長期間の使用によって接着材が劣化し、接続が外れてしまう場合がある。また、素材によっては、フッ素樹脂など、接着ができない素材も存在しており、この方法の使用に問題を生じていた。
2.レリースワイヤと接続の部材とを、接続の部材を金属で構成し、カシメ止めによって取り付ける方法を採用すると、柔らかい素材であるレリースワイヤの本体に、金属材が食い込む構造となるため、レリースワイヤの本体に傷が付いて部材劣化の原因となる場合がある。また、この方法は素材的に高価な金属材を必ず使わねばならいため、部材単価が高額となる問題がある。また、使用箇所が排水機器であり、使用時に頻繁に排水に晒されるため、素材である金属が錆びてしまうなどの問題があった。
3.レリースワイヤのインナーワイヤの端部は、施工の際、排水口からペンチなどを用いて、つまみ上げるように引き上げられる場合がある。この時、誤ってレリースワイヤの端部、特にインナーワイヤの端部をつまんで持ち上げようとすると、インナーワイヤ端部が折れ曲がって破損してしまったり、インナーワイヤがアウターチューブから引き出されて破損してしまったりする場合がある、という問題があった。
本発明は上記問題点に鑑み発明されたものであって、遠隔操作式排水栓装置のレリースワイヤにおいて、安価且つ加工が容易で、また劣化・破損などが生じにくい遠隔操作式排水栓装置のレリースワイヤを提供するものである。
In drainage equipment such as a wash basin and a bathtub, the positions of drain outlets and operation sections vary from product to product, and piping / wiring changes depending on the construction conditions at each time. For this reason, as a member for transmitting the operation of the remote-operated drain plug device, a flexible wire using a hollow wire such as a metal wire or a soft resin is used instead of a metal rod or the like. A release wire is used. On the other hand, it is necessary to configure a connection mechanism such as a screw with a rigid metal or a hard resin material at the end of the release wire in order to connect a holding mechanism section of the operation section, a wire holder, or the like. . Thus, there is a difference in the required properties (hardness) between the main body and the end of the release wire. In fact, a rigid member for connection is attached to the end of the soft release wire by some method. It was necessary to install.
However, the following 1. To 3. There was a problem like this.
1. If the release wire and the connection member are attached by a method such as adhesion, the adhesive may deteriorate due to long-term use, and the connection may be disconnected. In addition, depending on the material, there are materials that cannot be bonded, such as a fluororesin, causing problems in the use of this method.
2. When the release wire and the connection member are made of metal and the attachment method is fixed by caulking, the release wire is a soft material and the metal material bites into the release wire. May be damaged and cause deterioration of the member. In addition, this method has a problem that the unit unit price is high because a metal material that is expensive in terms of material must be used. Moreover, since the use location is drainage equipment and it is frequently exposed to drainage at the time of use, there existed problems, such as the metal which is a raw material rusting.
3. The end portion of the inner wire of the release wire may be pulled up so as to be picked up by using pliers or the like from the drain outlet during construction. At this time, if you accidentally pinch the end of the release wire, especially the end of the inner wire, the inner wire end may be bent and damaged, or the inner wire may be pulled out of the outer tube and damaged. There was a problem that it might be trapped.
The present invention has been invented in view of the above problems, and in a release wire for a remote-operated drain plug device, the release of the remote-operated drain plug device is inexpensive and easy to process, and is unlikely to deteriorate or break. A wire is provided.

According to the release wire of the remote control type drain plug device of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
According to the first and fifth aspects of the present invention, the end portion of the outer tube is provided with the engaging portion, and the wire cover is provided so as to be engaged with the engaging portion. By comprising in this way, a connection member can be attached to the edge part of a release wire, without performing adhesion | attachment etc.
In addition, since caulking is not performed, a resin material or the like can be used without using a metal for the connection member, so that it is inexpensive and can be prevented from being rusted even if it is frequently exposed to waste water.
In addition, since the wire cover is provided, the end of the release wire is not damaged even when the release wire is pulled up during construction.

請求項2、請求項3、請求項4に記載の本発明によれば、レリースワイヤ端部における係合部と取付部材の構造を明確にすることができる。   According to the second, third, and fourth aspects of the present invention, the structure of the engaging portion and the attachment member at the end portion of the release wire can be clarified.

請求項6、請求項7、請求項8に記載の本発明によれば、アウターチューブの端部に設けられた係合部の構造を明確にすることができる。   According to the sixth, seventh, and eighth aspects of the present invention, the structure of the engaging portion provided at the end of the outer tube can be clarified.

請求項9に記載の本発明によれば、アウターチューブ及びインナーワイヤを同じフッ素樹脂製にすることができる。
コスト低減や錆の発生防止を目的として、レリースワイヤのインナーワイヤ及びアウターチューブを共に樹脂素材、特に耐熱/耐薬製、可撓性などの理由からフッ素樹脂性に変更することは従来から以前から検討されていた。しかしながら、アウターチューブの両端に取付の部材を設ける必要から、従来はアウターチューブにフッ素樹脂を採用することは困難で、ゴムなどの可撓性のある材質のチューブ管が採用されていた。本発明では、アウターチューブの端部には接着などの方法を行わないので、フッ素樹脂製のアウターチューブを採用することができる。また、浴槽は温水乃至冷水が流れるなど、様々な温度の排水が流れる構造となっている。アウターチューブのみフッ素樹脂製で、インナーワイヤは従来通り金属材を採用すると、樹脂と金属の温度に対する膨張率の差異から、インナーワイヤの飛び出し長さが変化してしまう。飛び出し長さが変化すると、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の作動の信頼性が失われてゆく。両者を共にフッ素樹脂製とすれば、温度に対する膨張率は同じとなり、レリースワイヤの飛び出し長さは温度に関わらず一定となるため、遠隔操作式排水栓装置の作動の信頼性を高い物とすることができる。
According to this invention of Claim 9, an outer tube and an inner wire can be made from the same fluororesin.
For the purpose of reducing costs and preventing rusting, it has long been considered to change both the inner wire and outer tube of the release wire to resin materials, especially heat-resistant / chemical-resistant and flexible, for reasons such as flexibility. It had been. However, since it is necessary to provide attachment members at both ends of the outer tube, it has been difficult to employ a fluororesin for the outer tube in the past, and a tube tube made of a flexible material such as rubber has been employed. In the present invention, since a method such as adhesion is not performed on the end portion of the outer tube, an outer tube made of a fluororesin can be employed. In addition, the bathtub has a structure in which drainage at various temperatures flows, such as hot water or cold water flows. If only the outer tube is made of a fluororesin and the inner wire is made of a metal material as usual, the jumping length of the inner wire changes due to the difference in expansion coefficient with respect to the temperature of the resin and metal. When the pop-out length changes, the reliability of the operation of the remote-operated drain plug device is lost. If both are made of fluororesin, the coefficient of expansion with respect to temperature will be the same, and the length of the release wire will be constant regardless of the temperature, making the operation of the remote-operated drain plug device highly reliable. be able to.

請求項10に記載の本発明によれば、インナーワイヤの端部に硬質のロッド部を設けたことで、施工時や通常の使用の際に破損を生じにくくすることができる。また弁体を昇降させる場合に、ロッド部をガイドとして機能させることで、動作の安定性を向上させることができる。   According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, by providing the hard rod portion at the end portion of the inner wire, it is possible to make it difficult to cause breakage during construction or normal use. Further, when the valve body is raised and lowered, the operation stability can be improved by causing the rod portion to function as a guide.

請求項11に記載の本発明によれば、インナーワイヤとロッド部の構成を別々に構成することができる。請求項9に記載したような、フッ素樹脂製のインナーワイヤは、押し出し成型法と呼ばれる方法で成形される場合が多い。この押し出し成型法では、同じ断面形状の部材を、いくらでも長く成形することができるが、他方、特定の部分のみ形状を変化させ、ロッド部状に変化させる等はできない。また接着やカシメ止めなどの方法にも問題点があることは前述の通りである。上記方法によれば、成形したインナーワイヤの端部を加熱等の方法で(例えば球状に)溶融・変形させ、この形状に嵌合する形状にロッド部を構成することで、インナーワイヤの端部にロッド部を備えることができる。   According to this invention of Claim 11, the structure of an inner wire and a rod part can be comprised separately. The inner wire made of fluororesin as described in claim 9 is often molded by a method called an extrusion molding method. In this extrusion molding method, a member having the same cross-sectional shape can be molded as long as possible, but on the other hand, only a specific portion cannot be changed in shape to a rod portion. In addition, as described above, there are problems with methods such as adhesion and caulking. According to the above method, the end portion of the inner wire is formed by melting and deforming the end portion of the molded inner wire by a method such as heating (for example, in a spherical shape) and configuring the rod portion in a shape that fits into this shape. Can be provided with a rod portion.

請求項12に記載の本発明によれば、上記インナーワイヤの外側面、又はアウターチューブの内側面のいずれか一方を軸方向視多面体に形成し、他方を局面形状に形成したことで、両者の接触が面ではなく線での接触となるため、摩擦の程度が弱くなり、アウターチューブに対するインナーワイヤの摺動性が向上する。上記構成は、例えば請求項9に記載した本発明のように、インナーワイヤ)とアウターチューブのいずれか一方、又は両方を樹脂材で構成した場合に特に容易に構成することができ、好適である。   According to the present invention as set forth in claim 12, either one of the outer side surface of the inner wire or the inner side surface of the outer tube is formed into a polyhedron viewed in the axial direction, and the other is formed into a phase shape. Since the contact is not a surface but a line contact, the degree of friction is reduced, and the slidability of the inner wire with respect to the outer tube is improved. The above configuration can be particularly easily configured when one or both of the inner wire) and the outer tube are made of a resin material, as in the present invention described in claim 9, for example. .

排水栓(13)は円筒形状にしてその内部に排水を流すための排水口(13a)を備えており、洗面ボウルや浴槽などの槽体の底面に備えられる。
エルボ部材(16)は槽体の底面などに設けられた開口を介して、排水栓(13)に接続される部材であって、排水口(13a)からの排水を下水側に排出するための排出口(16a)と、後述するレリースワイヤ(1)を接続するための接続部(16b)を備えて成る。
弁部材(12)は上記排水栓(13)の排水口(13a)を閉口する部材であって、後述するレリースワイヤ(1)によって上下動することによって、排水口(13a)を開口/閉口する。
ワイヤ保持具(17)は上記排水栓(13)の排水口(13a)内に配置固定される部材であって、下端に後述するレリースワイヤ(1)のアウターチューブ(2)端部が接続されると共に、その内部に、貫通した状態でインナーワイヤ(3)の端部が配置される。
操作部(14)は洗面台や浴槽などのカウンターなど、任意の部分に配置される部材であって、備えられた操作ボタンなどを押し込む事で保持機構部(15)を動作させ、排水口(13a)を開口した状態に固定/固定を解除して排水口(13a)を閉口などの動作を行う部材である。
レリースワイヤは円筒状にして側面方向に可撓性を備え、軸方向に剛性を備えたアウターチューブ(2)と、該アウターチューブ(2)内に摺動自在に収納される、側面方向に可撓性を備え、軸方向に剛性を備えたインナーワイヤ(3)と、から構成されて成る。インナーワイヤ(3)、アウターチューブ(2)ともフッ素樹脂である四フッ化エチレンによって構成されている。
アウターチューブ(2)は、その端部に、周縁に沿って外方向に突出した係合部(4)を一体的に設けて成る。
また前述の通りアウターチューブ(2)は軸方向視円筒状であって、内周側、外周側共にほぼ正円形状をしている。
更に該アウターチューブ(2)の端部には、係合部(4)に係合して、アウターチューブ(2)の端部に備えられ、インナーワイヤ(3)の端部を収納して保護するワイヤカバー(5)を備えてなる。本実施例のワイヤカバー(5)には、ワイヤカバー(5)端部外面に設けた、雌ネジを構成した固定部(5a)を備えてなる。また、この固定部(5a)の雄ネジと螺合する構成として、アウターチューブ(2)外周に摺動自在に配置され、ワイヤカバー(5)の固定部(5a)に設けた雄ネジと螺合する雌ネジを備えた被固定部(6a)を備えた取付部材(6)を備えて成り、ワイヤカバー(5)の固定時に、係合部(4)を、ワイヤカバー(5)と取付部材(6)とでレリースワイヤ(1)の軸方向に挟み込むことで、アウターチューブ(2)端部に対して位置決めされるように構成されて成る(取付部材(6)の内部に、係合部(4)が収納されるように配置されて位置決め固定される)。このようにして構成されたワイヤカバー(5)は、インナーワイヤ(3)が操作部(14)側に後退している場合、後述するロッド部(9)をその内部に完全に収納する。

上記のインナーワイヤ(3)のような、直線に長い樹脂部材を成型する場合、一般には押し出し成型法と呼ばれる方法が採用される。これは、熱などによって溶融した樹脂に圧力を加えて、円形など任意の断面形状の孔に樹脂を押し通す方法である。このように孔に樹脂を押し通すことで、均一な断面形状の成型品を、望む長さに自在に成型できるというメリットがある。
インナーワイヤ(3)の端部には、ワイヤ先端を保護するため、PP、ABSなどを用いたロッド部(9)を備えると好適である。
ここで、フッ素樹脂は耐薬性がある反面接着が困難で、また柔らかく傷つき易いため、ロッド部(9)とフッ素樹脂製であるインナーワイヤ(3)との接続を、接着法やカシメ止め法にて行うことは困難である。本実施例では、先の押し出し成形法にて成形したインナーワイヤ(3)の端部に、再び熱を加えて球形に変形させ、一方ロッド部(9)にはこの球形に嵌合する凹部(7)を設け、両者を嵌合させることで、インナーワイヤ(3)とロッド部(9)の接続を行っている。

チューブ管(18)は可撓性を備えた中空パイプ状の部材であって、一端はエルボ部材(16)の接続部(16b)に、他端は操作部(14)に、それぞれ接続され、その内部にレリースワイヤ(1)を挿通させることで、レリースワイヤ(1)のガイドとして機能する。

3. In addition, since all the members are made of resin, they can be formed at a lower cost than when a metal material is used, and rust does not occur due to use.
4). Both the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) are made of tetrafluoroethylene, which is a fluororesin, and the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) have the same expansion coefficient with respect to temperature. For this reason, even if it is exposed to warm bath drainage and the temperature of the release wire (1) changes significantly, the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) both expand in the axial direction by the same length. The amount of protrusion of the inner wire (3) with respect to the outer tube (2) is almost unchanged (exactly the amount of protrusion, the inner wire (3) is long, so the length of the protrusion is multiplied by the expansion rate) However, since the jumping out itself is only a few mm to a few dozen mm, there is no change that is actually a problem).
5. Since the distal end of the inner wire (3) is provided with the hard rod portion (9), the possibility of breakage of the inner wire (3) can be further reduced.
6). Since the outer surface of the inner wire (3) is a regular hexagon when viewed in the axial direction and the inner surface of the outer tube (2) is formed in a substantially circular shape, the contact between the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) is not a surface. As a result, the friction when the inner wire (3) slides in the outer tube (2) is almost eliminated.

The above-described remote-operated drain plug device is applied to drainage equipment equipped with a tank body such as a wash basin and a bathtub as follows.
First, in advance in a factory or the like, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the female screw of the fixed portion (6a) of the mounting member (6) is attached to the male screw of the fixing portion (5a) of the wire cover (5). The engaging portion (4) is sandwiched between the tip of the wire cover (5) and the mounting member (6). Thus, the wire cover (5) can be fixed so as to cover the end of the outer tube (2). After the release wire (1) is configured in such a state, each member of the remote-operated drain plug device including the release wire (1) is delivered to the construction site.
Next, at the construction site, the drain plug (13) and the elbow member (16) are connected through an opening provided on the bottom surface of the tank body, and fixed to the bottom surface of the tank body.

At this time, since the holding mechanism (15) provided on the wire holder (17) does not fix the operation of the inner wire (3) in the release wire (1), the valve member (12) is lowered by its own weight. The drain port (13a) is closed.
Next, when the operation button is operated and the tip of the inner wire (3) is protruded, the holding mechanism (15) provided in the wire holder (17) is operated and connected to the tip of the shaft. The valve member (12) is lifted, and the drain port (13a) is opened. Note that the inner wire (3) of the release wire (1) is retracted toward the operation portion (14) by the effect of the spring.
When the operation button is operated again from this state and the tip of the inner wire (3) is protruded again, the holding mechanism (15) provided in the wire holder (17) operates to fix the shaft. The valve member (12) is moved by its own weight, the valve member (12) is lowered together with the shaft of the holding mechanism (15), and the drain port is closed.
Thereafter, by repeating this operation, the opening and closing of the drain port (13a) can be remotely and freely operated by the operation unit (14).

2.接着法やカシメ止め法などを、インナーワイヤ(3)とアウターチューブ(2)等に用いないため、部材に破損や長期の使用による劣化が生じることがない。
3.また、各部材は全て樹脂によって構成されているため、金属材を使った場合よりも安価に構成することができると共に、使用によって錆が生じることもない。
4.インナーワイヤ(3)とアウターチューブ(2)は共にフッ素樹脂である四フッ化エチレンを素材としており、インナーワイヤ(3)とアウターチューブ(2)の温度に対する膨張率は等しい。このため、温暖な浴槽排水に晒され、レリースワイヤ(1)の温度が大幅に変化しても、インナーワイヤ(3)とアウターチューブ(2)は軸方向に共に同じ長さだけ膨張するので、インナーワイヤ(3)のアウターチューブ(2)に対する飛び出ししろはほとんど変化しない(正確には飛び出ししろ分、インナーワイヤ(3)が長いため、その飛び出ししろの長さに膨張率を乗じた分だけ変化するが、飛び出ししろ自身が数mm乃至十数mmしかないため、実際に問題になる程度の変化は無い)。
5.上記インナーワイヤ(3)の外側面を軸方向視正六角形に、アウターチューブ(2)の内側面をほぼ円形状に形成したため、インナーワイヤ(3)とアウターチューブ(2)の接触が面ではなく線で行われるようになり、インナーワイヤ(3)がアウターチューブ(2)内を摺動する際の摩擦がほとんどなくなる。

4). Both the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) are made of tetrafluoroethylene, which is a fluororesin, and the expansion rates of the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) with respect to temperature are equal.

The jumping distance of the inner wire (3) with respect to the outer tube (2) is almost unchanged (exactly the amount of jumping out, the inner wire (3) is long, so the length of the jumping out length is multiplied by the expansion rate) However, since the jumping out itself is only a few mm to a few dozen mm, there is no change that is actually a problem).
5. Since the outer surface of the inner wire (3) is a regular hexagon when viewed in the axial direction and the inner surface of the outer tube (2) is formed in a substantially circular shape, the contact between the inner wire (3) and the outer tube (2) is not a surface.
