Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the structure of the shower water discharging part 12 is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the shower water discharger.
As shown in FIG. 4, the shower water discharger 12 fixes the watering plate member 20, the two U-shaped plates 24 attached to both sides of the watering plate member 20, and the watering plate member 20 to the water discharger body 8. A watering plate fixing plate 26 for performing the above and a shower water discharger fixing screw 28 are provided.

  The sprinkling plate member 20 is formed around the narrow and long sprinkling plate 20a and is formed at a substantially right angle from the long and thin sprinkling plate 20a. The water spray plate side wall 20b is integrally formed. In the present embodiment, the water spray plate member 20 is made of resin. Moreover, the sealing member 30 is arrange | positioned at the outer periphery of the water spray plate side wall part 20b.

  The U-shaped plate 24 is a metal plate generally formed in a U-shape, and the two U-shaped legs are received in the grooves formed in the side wall 20b of the water spray plate. 20 is attached.

  The watering plate fixing plate 26 is an elongated metal plate arranged so as to surround the watering plate member 20. A shower water spouting portion engaging portion 26a is formed at the distal end portion of the water spray plate fixing plate 26, and a hole 26b which is a shower water discharging portion screwing portion through which the shower water spouting portion fixing screw 28 is passed is formed at the base end portion. ing. In addition, an elongated hole 26 c for receiving the lower portion of the water spray plate member 20 is formed in the center of the water spray plate fixing plate 26. The watering plate fixing plate 26 is provided with four female screw holes 26d.

  Furthermore, a shower water discharger fixing screw 28 is passed through the hole 26b of the water spray plate fixing plate 26 and fixed by a retaining ring 28a. Thereby, the shower water discharger fixing screw 28 is rotatably fixed to the water spray plate fixing plate 26.

  The two U-shaped plates 24 engaged with the water spray plate member 20 are fixed to the water spray plate fixing plate 26 by screws 24a screwed into the female screw holes 26d. Thereby, the water spray plate member 20, the two U-shaped plates 24, and the water spray plate fixing plate 26 are integrated, and the shower water discharge part 12 is comprised.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the shower water discharger 12 integrated, the shower water discharger engagement part 26 a at one end is engaged with a recess 8 e formed on the side wall surface of the shower water discharger mounting recess 8 c. Further, the other end of the shower water discharger 12 is screwed to the water discharger main body 8 with a shower water discharger fixing screw 28, whereby the shower water discharger 12 is fixed to the water discharger main body 8.

  When the shower water discharger 12 is mounted in the shower water discharger mounting recess 8c, the seal member 30 is sandwiched between the water spray plate side wall 20b and the side wall surface of the shower water discharger mounting recess 8c. It is configured to ensure water tightness. With this structure, the force that elastically deforms the seal member 30 between the water spray plate side wall portion 20b and the side wall surface acts equally regardless of the force that fixes the shower water discharge portion 12 to the water discharge device main body 8. The structure for fixing the shower water discharger 12 can be simplified.

  Here, the seal member is disposed between the surfaces parallel to the elongated sprinkling plate 20a, and the seal member is elastically deformed by a force (upward force in FIG. 2) for fixing the shower water discharger 12 to the water discharger main body 8. In the case of the structure, it is difficult to elastically deform each part of the seal member evenly. That is, as in the present embodiment, only by fixing the shower water discharger 12 with a single shower water discharger fixing screw 28, only the seal member in the vicinity of the fixing screw is elastically deformed, and the position away from the fixing screw. Then, the seal member is not sufficiently elastically deformed. Furthermore, considering that the shower water discharger 12 is elongated, three or more fixing screws are required.

Next, with reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3, the effect | action of the water discharging apparatus 1 by embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
First, the user operates the lever of the single unit unit 6 to place the water discharge device 1 in a water discharge state. When the water discharge head 2 is in the DC water discharge state shown in FIG. 2, the tap water (hot water) that has passed through the single unit section 6 passes through the flexible hose 14 and the outward path 8a, and is discharged into the direct current. It flows into the part mounting recess 8b. In the direct current water discharge state, the switching closing body 16 is separated from the switching water passage hole 18a, so that the tap water flowing into the direct current water discharge portion mounting recess 8b passes through the inside of the tubular body 18 with the water passage hole. Then, DC water is discharged from the lower end. Thereby, direct-current water discharge is carried out at a substantially right angle with respect to the front-end | tip part of the water discharging apparatus main body 8. FIG.

  Even in the DC water discharge state shown in FIG. 2, the inlet of the return passage 8d is not completely closed by the cylindrical body 18 with the water passage hole, but the gap at the entrance of the return passage 8d is the switching water passage 18a. Therefore, the tap water that has flowed into the DC water discharge portion mounting recess 8b does not leak into the return passage 8d.

  Next, when the user rotates the tubular body 18 with water passage hole, the tubular body 18 with water passage hole is discharged in the direction in which DC water discharge is discharged by the action of the male screw thread 18b and the female screw forming member 22. Is moved in the direction of the orthogonal axis B, that is, in the downward direction of FIG. 2, and the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. In the shower water discharge state shown in FIG. 3, the switching closing body 16 is seated on the switching water passage hole 18a of the cylinder 18 with water passage hole, and the switching water passage hole 18a is closed. At the same time, the cylinder 18 with water passage hole is moved downward in FIG. 3, so that the gap at the entrance of the return passage 8d is enlarged. Thereby, the tap water that has flowed into the DC water discharger mounting recess 8b is U-turned and flows into the shower water discharger mounting recess 8c through the turn-back passage 8d. The tap water that has flowed into the shower spout attachment recess 8 c is discharged as shower spout from a water spout formed in the elongated sprinkler plate 20 a of the sprinkler plate member 20.

  In addition, in the water discharging apparatus 1 of this embodiment, when switching direct current water discharge and shower water discharge, the cylinder 18 with a water flow hole which comprises the direct current water discharge part 10 is only moved in parallel with the direction of direct current water discharge. Therefore, the discharge position of the DC water discharge does not move when switching the water discharge.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the maintenance procedure of the water discharging apparatus 1 by embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the shower water discharger 12 is detached from the water discharger body 8.

For this reason, the user needs to remove the shower water discharger 12 from the water discharger body 8 and clean it. First, in the assembled state shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the shower water discharger fixing screw 28 is rotated to loosen it. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the shower water discharger fixing screw 28 starts to come off from the female screw formed in the water discharger body 8.

  Here, since the shower water spouting portion fixing screw 28 is fixed to the water spray plate fixing plate 26 by the retaining ring 28a, when the shower water spouting portion fixing screw 28 starts to come off, the water spray plate fixing plate 26 is moved downward by the retaining ring 28a. Is lifted from the water discharge device main body 8. Thereby, the user can remove the shower water discharge part 12 from the shower water discharge part attachment recessed part 8c easily. After cleaning the removed shower water discharger 12, the user inserts the shower water discharger engaging portion 26a into the recess 8e and tightens the shower water discharger fixing screw 28. The water spray plate fixing plate 26 is pushed in the direction of the water discharger main body 8 by the shower water discharger fixing screw 28 and is fitted into the shower water discharger mounting recess 8c and fixed.

  According to the water discharge device of the embodiment of the present invention, the direct current water discharge and the shower water discharge are switched by the cylindrical body with the water passage hole moved in the direct current water discharge direction, so the direct current formed at the lower end of the cylindrical body with the water passage hole. The water discharge part is only moved in the water discharge direction. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the discharge position of the DC water discharge from changing due to the switching operation. In addition, since the switching is performed by the relative movement of the switching closing body and the switching water passage hole, the reliability of the switching operation can be increased.

  Further, according to the water discharge device of the present embodiment, the DC water discharge and the shower water discharge can be switched by rotating the cylindrical body with the water passage hole at the tip of the water discharge device main body, so the DC water discharge unit and the shower water discharge unit are drawn out. Switching can be easily performed even in a state, and the operability of the water discharge device can be improved.

Furthermore, according to the water discharging apparatus of this embodiment, since the cylinder with a water passage hole serves as both the switching means and the DC water discharging section, the water discharging apparatus can be configured in a compact manner.
Moreover, according to the water discharging apparatus of this embodiment, since the sealing member is elastically deformed between the water spray plate side wall part and the side wall surface of the shower water discharging part mounting recess, the force for fixing the shower water discharging part to the water discharging apparatus main body and Regardless of, the seal member can be elastically deformed evenly. Thereby, while being able to ensure watertightness reliably, the fixing structure of a shower water discharging part can be simplified.

  Furthermore, according to the water discharge device of the present embodiment, the shower water discharge portion has one end engaged with the shower water discharge portion mounting recess and the other end screwed to the water discharge device main body with the shower water discharge portion fixing screw. The number of fixing screws exposed to the outside can be reduced, and the appearance of the water discharge device can be improved.

  Moreover, according to the water discharging apparatus of this embodiment, the shower water discharger fixing screw is rotatably fixed to the water spray plate fixing plate, so that the shower water discharger can be lifted by loosening the fixing screw. The shower water discharger fitted in the shower water discharger mounting recess can be easily removed.

  Furthermore, according to the water discharging apparatus of this embodiment, since the water spray plate member is formed of resin and the U-shaped plate and the water spray plate fixing plate are made of metal, the water spray plate can be easily formed by resin molding. At the same time, the shower water discharger can be firmly fixed.

  As mentioned above, although preferable embodiment of this invention was described, a various change can be added to embodiment mentioned above. In particular, in the embodiment described above, hot water in which hot water and water are mixed in the single unit portion flows into the water discharge head, but a water discharge device that directly discharges only tap water or water discharged directly from the water heater. The present invention can also be applied to a water discharge device. In the present specification, these hot water and hot water are referred to as tap water.
