JP 05-006153 A

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、フラット構造のタッチパネルを用いたものにおいてもそのスイッチ応答位置を容易に判別することができる電解水生成装置を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and provides an electrolyzed water generating device capable of easily discriminating the switch response position even when a flat structure touch panel is used. It is to be an issue.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る電解水生成装置は、タッチパネル式の操作部を備えるとともに、フラットな表面を備えた上記操作部の表面に、エンボスで形成されてスイッチ応答位置を囲む枠線を備える加飾シートが貼られていることに特徴を有している。スイッチ応答位置をエンボスからなる枠線で囲むことで触感によっても判別することができるようにしたものである。   In order to solve the above problems, an electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to the present invention includes a touch panel type operation unit and a frame formed by embossing on the surface of the operation unit having a flat surface and surrounding a switch response position. It is characterized in that a decorative sheet provided with a line is affixed. By enclosing the switch response position with a frame line made of emboss, the switch response position can also be determined by tactile sensation.

上記操作部が一列に並ぶ複数のスイッチを備えている場合、上記加飾シートは複数のスイッチのうちの中央に位置するスイッチの応答位置を囲む枠線の脇に凸部を備えたものとするのが好ましい。目の不自由な人でも中央位置のスイッチの識別が容易となる。   In the case where the operation unit includes a plurality of switches arranged in a row, the decorative sheet is provided with a convex part beside a frame line surrounding a response position of a switch located at the center of the plurality of switches. Is preferred. Even a blind person can easily identify the switch at the center position.

本発明は、加飾シートに設けたエンボスからなる枠線がスイッチ応答位置を囲んでいるために、スイッチ応答位置を触感で判別することができるものであり、フラット構造のタッチパネルにおけるスイッチ応答位置が加齢者にも容易に判別することができて、操作性を犠牲にすることなく、操作部まわりの美観向上を図ることができる。   In the present invention, since the frame line made of embossing provided on the decorative sheet surrounds the switch response position, the switch response position can be determined by tactile sensation. Even an aged person can easily discriminate, and the aesthetics around the operation unit can be improved without sacrificing operability.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明すると、図２は本発明に係る電解水生成装置の一例を示しており、濾過浄水部と電解槽と切換弁を備えて流し台９内に配設される本体１と、流し台９の上面に設置される水栓部２とからなり、本体１と水栓部２とは２本の接続管２１，２２及び信号線２３で接続されている。信号線２３は、水栓部２に設けた操作部２０と本体１内に設けた制御回路との接続用である。また、流し台９が備える蛇口８に至る水道配管の途中から分岐させた給水管３が本体１に接続されている。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 shows an example of an electrolyzed water generating apparatus according to the present invention, which includes a filtered water purification unit, an electrolyzer, and a switching valve. And the faucet part 2 installed on the upper surface of the sink 9. The main part 1 and the faucet part 2 are connected by two connecting pipes 21 and 22 and a signal line 23. Yes. The signal line 23 is for connection between the operation unit 20 provided in the faucet unit 2 and a control circuit provided in the main body 1. In addition, a water supply pipe 3 branched from the middle of a water pipe reaching the faucet 8 provided in the sink 9 is connected to the main body 1.

上記水栓部２は、図１に示すように、上記接続管２１，２３に接続された放水口２４ａ，２４ｂを備えるとともに、その前面に操作部２０を備えている。止水／通水切換スイッチ２０ａ、アルカリ水吐出とするためのスイッチ２０ｂ、浄水吐出とするためのスイッチ２０ｃ、弱酸性水吐出とするためのスイッチ２０ｄ、リセット動作を行わせるためのスイッチ２０ｇのほか、吐出しているアルカリ水のアルカリ度を表示するための表示部２０ｅ、前記濾過浄水部の濾過用カートリッジの交換目安を表示するための表示部２０ｆ等を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the water faucet unit 2 includes water outlets 24 a and 24 b connected to the connection pipes 21 and 23, and an operation unit 20 on the front surface thereof. In addition to a water stop / water flow switch 20a, a switch 20b for discharging alkaline water, a switch 20c for discharging purified water, a switch 20d for discharging weakly acidic water, and a switch 20g for performing a reset operation. And a display unit 20e for displaying the alkalinity of the discharged alkaline water, a display unit 20f for displaying a replacement guide for the filtration cartridge of the filtration water purification unit, and the like.

上記各スイッチを有する上記操作部２０は、図３にも示すように、フラット構造のタッチパネル（接触式でも静電式のものでもよい）で形成されたもので、水栓部２における筐体２５内に固定されて筐体２５に設けた開口面にその表面を位置させることで、筐体２５外面との間に段差のないフラットな面を形成して、汚れなどが溜まりやすい部分が生じないようにしている。図３中の２７は通水路を備えるフレーム、２８は表示基板、２９は基板ホルダーである。また、上記操作部２０はその表面全面を静電防止のための絶縁性シート４で覆った上で筐体２５に取り付けて、表面にメッキが施された上記筐体２５とタッチパネルにおける電気回路との間の電気的絶縁距離を長くしている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the operation unit 20 having the switches is formed by a flat-structured touch panel (contact type or electrostatic type), and a casing 25 in the faucet unit 2. By positioning the surface on the opening surface provided in the housing 25 that is fixed inside, a flat surface without a step is formed between the outer surface of the housing 25 and a portion where dirt or the like tends to accumulate does not occur. I am doing so. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 27 denotes a frame having a water passage, 28 denotes a display substrate, and 29 denotes a substrate holder. The operation unit 20 is attached to the casing 25 after covering the entire surface with an insulating sheet 4 for preventing static electricity, and the casing 25 having a plated surface and an electric circuit in the touch panel. The electrical insulation distance between is increased.

そして、操作部２０における図１に示す操作内容を示している表示は、上記絶縁性シート４の上に筐体２５の開口面を囲む部分にまで渡って貼り付けられた加飾シート５に色によっても識別することができるように施してある。また、ＰＥＴシートからなる上記加飾シートには、スイッチ対応位置上にある上記各表示を囲む枠線５０を設けてある。この枠線５０は、図３に示すように、加飾シート５にエンボス加工を施すことで形成したものであり、フラットなシートである加飾シート５に設けた高さ０．３ｍｍほどのエンボスからなる枠線５０によって、スイッチ対応位置が触感で判別することもできるようにする。このために加齢者や視覚弱者でも、スイッチ位置が明確なものとなっており、２つのスイッチを同時に押してしまうということがない。   And the display which shows the operation content shown in FIG. 1 in the operation part 20 is colored on the decoration sheet 5 affixed on the said insulating sheet 4 over the part surrounding the opening surface of the housing | casing 25. It is given so that it can also be identified. In addition, the decorative sheet made of a PET sheet is provided with a frame line 50 that surrounds each display on the switch corresponding position. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame line 50 is formed by embossing the decorative sheet 5, and has an embossing height of about 0.3 mm provided on the decorative sheet 5 that is a flat sheet. The switch-corresponding position can also be discriminated by the tactile sensation by the frame line 50. For this reason, even an aged person or a visually impaired person has a clear switch position and does not press two switches at the same time.

また、タッチパネルで構成された操作部２０の各スイッチは上下に一列で並ぶものとなっているが、上下方向中央位置にあるスイッチ２０ｃを囲んでいる枠線５０の脇には、同じくエンボス加工によって形成した凸部５１を設けてある。加飾シート５の横の端を上下に指でなぞれば、凸部５１によって上下方向中央にあるスイッチ２０ｃの位置を判別することができるために、目の不自由な人でも中央位置のスイッチ２０ｃの識別が容易となっている。   In addition, the switches of the operation unit 20 configured with a touch panel are arranged in a line vertically, but the embossing is performed on the side of the frame line 50 that surrounds the switch 20c at the center in the vertical direction. The formed convex part 51 is provided. If the horizontal edge of the decorative sheet 5 is traced up and down with a finger, the position of the switch 20c at the center in the vertical direction can be determined by the convex portion 51, so even a blind person can switch the switch at the center position. 20c can be easily identified.

枠線５０や凸部５１の高さは上記数値に限定されるものではなく、触感的にその存在が判るものであれば、どのような高さのものであってもよい。また、操作部２０における各スイッチの配置も図示例のものに限るものではない。   The height of the frame line 50 and the convex portion 51 is not limited to the above numerical values, and may be any height as long as the presence can be found tactilely. Further, the arrangement of the switches in the operation unit 20 is not limited to the illustrated example.
