内部ケーシング１１の内部空間１１ａ内には、内部ケーシング１１を長さ方向に貫通する配線部材３２が収容されるとともに、貯水部１１ｂの下方には導水管７が収容されている。 The inner casing 11 is open at the upper and lower ends. The inside of the inner casing 11 is an inner space 11a that penetrates in the length direction. The outer wall of the inner casing 11 is substantially cylindrical at the upper and lower portions of the inner casing 11, and has a substantially semicircular cross section in the vicinity of the protruding portion 12d of the intermediate casing 12b as shown in FIG.
In addition, a water storage portion 11b having a substantially semicircular cross section is provided between the outer surface of the inner casing 11 and the inner surface of the intermediate casing 12b. The water storage part 11 b communicates with the water discharge pipe 2.
By providing the water storage part 11b, water discharged from the water discharge pipe 2 can be temporarily stored in the water storage part and discharged from the water discharge pipe when it reaches a certain amount, so that the water discharge pressure is adjusted appropriately. can do.
A tubular joint 21 is liquid-tightly inserted into the inner casing 11 forming the bottom surface 11c of the water storage part 11b. The lower end of the joint 21 is connected to the water conduit 7, and the upper end is opened to the water storage part 11b. That is, the water storage part 11b communicates with the water conduit 7 penetrating inside the faucet through the joint 21. Reference numeral 22 in the figure denotes an O-ring.
In the inner space 11a of the inner casing 11, a wiring member 32 penetrating the inner casing 11 in the length direction is accommodated, and the water conduit 7 is accommodated below the water storage portion 11b.

内部ケーシング１１の下端は、基台５０に固定された環状部材１３のナット部１５に（螺合されており、内部ケーシング１１の下部、環状部材１３の上部、およびナット部１５の外面を一体的に覆うように金属製の補強部材１４が設けられており、該補強部材１４の外側に下部ケーシング１２ｃが設けられている。補強部材１４と下部ケーシング１２ｃとの接合部はＯリング１８で液密にシールされている。また下部ケーシング１２ｃの下端部、内部ケーシング１１の下端部及び該補強部材１４の下端部は、いずれも、ボルト１６によって環状部材１３に固定されている。   The lower end of the inner casing 11 is screwed into the nut portion 15 of the annular member 13 fixed to the base 50 (the lower portion of the inner casing 11, the upper portion of the annular member 13, and the outer surface of the nut portion 15 are integrated). A reinforcing member 14 made of metal is provided so as to cover it, and a lower casing 12c is provided outside the reinforcing member 14. The joint between the reinforcing member 14 and the lower casing 12c is liquid-tight with an O-ring 18. Further, the lower end portion of the lower casing 12c, the lower end portion of the inner casing 11 and the lower end portion of the reinforcing member 14 are all fixed to the annular member 13 by bolts 16.

中間部ケーシング１２ｂの上端部において、図４に示すように、該中間部ケーシング１２ｂの内面に突起１２ｅが形成されている。該突起１２ｅは、上方から見たときに突出部１２ｄの中心と対向する位置に設けられている。また内部ケーシング１１の外面には該突起１２ｅと係合する溝部１１ｄが設けられている。
該溝部１１ｄは内部ケーシング１１の周方向に沿って所定の長さで形成されており、中間部ケーシング１２ｂを周方向に回動させると、それに伴って突起１２ｅが溝部１１ｄ内を、溝部１１ｄの長さ方向に沿って移動する。そして、溝部１１ｄの長さ方向の端面１１ｅに突起１２ｅが突き当たると、それ以上、中間部ケーシング１２ｂを回動させることができなくなる。すなわち、溝部１１ｄの長さに応じて、中間部ケーシング１２ｂが回動できる範囲が限定される。図４に示す実施形態では、中間部ケーシング１２ｂの中心Ｏに対して１２０°の範囲で、中間部ケーシング１２ｂを周方向に回動できるようになっている。すなわち、吐水管２の回動範囲が、水栓本体１の周方向のうちの１２０°の範囲に限られている。 As shown in FIG. 4, a projection 12e is formed on the inner surface of the intermediate casing 12b at the upper end of the intermediate casing 12b. The protrusion 12e is provided at a position facing the center of the protrusion 12d when viewed from above. Further, a groove portion 11d that engages with the protrusion 12e is provided on the outer surface of the inner casing 11.
The groove portion 11d is formed with a predetermined length along the circumferential direction of the inner casing 11, and when the intermediate casing 12b is rotated in the circumferential direction, the projection 12e moves along the groove portion 11d along with the groove portion 11d. Move along the length. When the projection 12e hits the end surface 11e in the length direction of the groove 11d, the intermediate casing 12b cannot be rotated any more. That is, the range in which the intermediate casing 12b can rotate is limited according to the length of the groove 11d. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the intermediate casing 12b can be rotated in the circumferential direction within a range of 120 ° with respect to the center O of the intermediate casing 12b. That is, the rotation range of the water discharge pipe 2 is limited to a range of 120 ° in the circumferential direction of the faucet body 1.

浄水器６内には浄水手段（水処理手段）が着脱可能に装着されている。浄水手段は、例えば、原水中の残留塩素や総トリハロメタンなどを除去、吸着する濾材と、一般細菌や不純物を取り除く中空糸膜等とを備えた浄水カートリッジ等である。
浄水手段としては、有害成分を除去する本来の濾過機能の他、水を美味しくしたり健康上でよいとされる成分を放出したりするようにしてもよい。
また給水管５には、浄水器６に供給される原水の流量を一定に制御する定流量弁（図示略）が設けられている。 A water purifier (water treatment means) is detachably mounted in the water purifier 6. The water purification means is, for example, a water purification cartridge provided with a filter medium that removes and adsorbs residual chlorine, total trihalomethane, and the like in raw water, and a hollow fiber membrane that removes general bacteria and impurities.
As the water purification means, in addition to the original filtration function of removing harmful components, water may be made delicious or components that are considered good for health may be released.
Further, the water supply pipe 5 is provided with a constant flow valve (not shown) for controlling the flow rate of the raw water supplied to the water purifier 6 at a constant level.

操作部３の操作面３ａには、吐水管２からの吐水と止水と切り替える吐水・止水スイッチ（図示略）が設けられており、該吐水・止水スイッチを操作すると、開閉弁４に電気信号が送られ、これによって開閉弁４の開閉が制御されるようになっている。開閉弁４が閉じられているとき吐水管２からの吐水が停止され、開閉弁４が開放されると吐水管２から吐水される。
また操作部３には、浄水手段の交換時期を知らせる報知手段としてのカートリッジ交換サイン（図示略）を設けてもよい。 The operation surface 3a of the operation unit 3 is provided with a water discharge / water stop switch (not shown) for switching between water discharge and water stop from the water discharge pipe 2, and when the water discharge / water stop switch is operated, An electric signal is sent to control the opening / closing of the on-off valve 4. Water discharge from the water discharge pipe 2 is stopped when the on-off valve 4 is closed, and water is discharged from the water discharge pipe 2 when the on-off valve 4 is opened.
Further, the operation unit 3 may be provided with a cartridge replacement sign (not shown) as a notification means for notifying the replacement timing of the water purification means.

本実施形態の水栓は、電気信号に基づいて開閉する開閉弁４を備えており、該開閉弁４の操作部３が水栓本体１の上部に設けられているため、開閉弁４の開閉を制御するスイッチやボタンの操作がしやすく、操作部３の表示も見やすい。また、かかる操作のしやすさや、表示の見やすさが、水栓本体１の取り付け方向や、取り付け場所の周囲の構造に左右されにくい。
また吐水管２が水栓本体１の周方向に回動可能であるため、吐水位置を移動させることができる。吐水管２の回動は操作部３とは独立しており、吐水管２を回動させても、それに伴って操作部３が動くことはないので、操作部３における操作のしやすさや、表示の見やすさが維持されるほか、操作部３に接続されている配線部材３２が捩れない。
また吐水管２の回動範囲が、水栓本体１の周方向の全部（３６０°）ではなく一部に限られているため、シンクの周囲の天板部に誤って吐水するのを防止できる。特に、本発明における「一部」とは、水栓本体１の周方向のうちの１２０°以下の範囲の回動に限定されていると、本発明に係る水栓が、使用者から見て通常シンクの奥側に配されることを考慮すれば好ましい。 The faucet of the present embodiment includes an on-off valve 4 that opens and closes based on an electrical signal. Since the operation portion 3 of the on-off valve 4 is provided on the upper part of the faucet body 1, the on-off valve 4 is opened and closed. It is easy to operate switches and buttons for controlling the operation, and the display on the operation unit 3 is easy to see. In addition, the ease of such operations and the visibility of the display are not easily affected by the mounting direction of the faucet body 1 and the structure around the mounting location.
Moreover, since the water discharge pipe 2 can rotate in the circumferential direction of the faucet body 1, the water discharge position can be moved. The rotation of the water discharge pipe 2 is independent of the operation unit 3, and even if the water discharge pipe 2 is rotated, the operation unit 3 does not move accordingly. In addition to maintaining the visibility of the display, the wiring member 32 connected to the operation unit 3 is not twisted.
Moreover, since the rotation range of the water discharge pipe 2 is limited to a part rather than the whole (360 °) in the circumferential direction of the faucet body 1, it is possible to prevent water from being accidentally discharged to the top plate portion around the sink. . In particular, when “part” in the present invention is limited to rotation within a range of 120 ° or less in the circumferential direction of the faucet body 1, the faucet according to the present invention is viewed from the user. It is preferable in consideration of the fact that it is usually arranged on the back side of the sink.

なお、本実施形態における水処理手段は浄水手段であるが、これに限らず他の水処理手段であってもよい。例えば浄水器６に代えてアルカリイオン整水器を用いてもよい。
また、本実施形態においては、弁の例として開閉弁４を用いて説明したが、単なる開閉弁に代えて、水処理手段（浄水手段等）により処理させた浄水の吐水、原水の吐水および止水の機能を兼ねた流路切換弁を用いてもよい。
また本実施形態では、開閉弁４として電磁弁を用い、操作部３の基盤と開閉弁４とが信号配線により電気的に接続されている構成としたが、弁は電磁弁でなくてもよく、弁と操作部とを接続する配線は電気的な配線でなくてもよい。例えば水栓本体の外部に設けられた弁がプラグ弁で、該プラグ弁と操作部とがワイヤで接続されている構成とすることもできる。 In addition, although the water treatment means in this embodiment is a water purification means, it is not restricted to this, Other water treatment means may be sufficient. For example, instead of the water purifier 6, an alkali ion water conditioner may be used.
In the present embodiment, the on-off valve 4 has been described as an example of the valve. However, instead of a simple on-off valve, water discharged from purified water treated by water treatment means (water purification means or the like), water from the raw water, and water stoppage are stopped. A flow path switching valve that also functions as water may be used.
In this embodiment, an electromagnetic valve is used as the on-off valve 4 and the base of the operation unit 3 and the on-off valve 4 are electrically connected by signal wiring.
