  The faucet according to this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as this example) is a single lever type hot / cold water faucet installed on the wash basin S as shown in FIG. Hot water) and water (cold water) are mixed at an arbitrary ratio to form mixed water M, and this mixed water M is discharged from the water discharge port 3 of the water discharge member 2. That is, the faucet includes a faucet body 1 and a water discharge member 2 attached to the faucet body 1 as shown in FIG.

  First, the configuration of the faucet body 1 will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 4 to 6 (particularly refer to FIG. 6), the faucet body 1 is made of a metal (copper alloy in this example) and includes a substantially cylindrical body portion 4. The main body portion 4 has a seat portion 5 for mounting a valve unit 20 (details will be described later) on the upper side surface. Inside the main body portion 4, there are a hot water channel 6, a water channel 7, and a mixed water channel 8. Is provided.

  One end portions 6 a, 7 a, and 8 a of the hot water flow channel 6, the water flow channel 7, and the mixed water flow channel 8 communicate with the sheet portion 5. The hot water channel 6 and the water channel 7 extend to the lower part of the main body 4, a pipe 9 forming a hot water supply path is connected to the other end of the hot water channel 6, and water is supplied to the other end of the water channel 7. A pipe 10 forming a path is connected. On the other hand, the mixed water flow path 8 also extends to the lower part of the main body part 4, and the mixed water flow path 8 communicates with the back surface opening part 11 opened on the lower back surface of the main body part 4. 4, 6 </ b> A, 6 </ b> C, and 6 </ b> D show a state in which the mixed water channel 8 is opened below the main body 4, the lower end of the mixed water channel 8 is As shown in FIGS. 3 (A) and 5, it is closed by the closing member 12. In FIGS. 4, 6 (A), (C) and (D), the illustration of the closing member 12 is omitted. is there.

  Then, a metal connecting pipe 13 (made of a copper alloy in this example) shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B is inserted and connected to the back opening 11 provided on the back of the main body 4. As shown in FIG. 7A, the distal end side of the connecting pipe 13 has a smaller outer diameter than the rear end side, and a male screw 13a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the leading end side. It can be screwed onto a female screw 11a formed in the back opening 11 (see FIGS. 3A and 5). That is, the connecting pipe 13 is connected to the rear opening 11 by screwing the male screw 13 a of the connecting pipe 13 to the female screw 11 a of the rear opening 11. In order to secure the sealing performance in this connected state, the connecting pipe 13 is provided with three sealing members (in this example, synthetic rubber O-rings) 13b.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the inner peripheral wall portion 13c on the rear end side of the connecting tube 13 has a non-circular shape in the sectional view (in this example, a regular hexagonal shape). Accordingly, an appropriate tool (in this example, a hexagon wrench) that engages with the inner peripheral wall portion 13c is inserted, and the connecting tube 13 is easily connected to the rear opening 11 by rotating the tool. can do.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8A to 8D, a cartridge type valve unit 20 is mounted laterally on the seat portion 5. The valve unit 20 includes a synthetic resin case body 24 in which a ceramic fixed disk 21 and a movable disk 22 and a synthetic resin guide 23 are accommodated.

  As shown in FIGS. 8B and 8D, the fixed disk 21 includes a hot water supply through hole 25 communicating with the hot water flow path 6, a water supply through hole 26 communicating with the water flow path 7, and a mixed water flow path. 8 is provided, and the movable disk 22 is provided with a concave portion 28 as shown in FIG. 8B. The concave portion 28 is opened toward the fixed disk 21. Yes.

  Further, a metal (stainless steel in this example) pin 29 shown in FIG. 8B is fixed to the guide 23, and this pin 29 is fixed to the case as shown in FIGS. The stopper rod 30 made of a synthetic resin protruding outside the body 24 is pivoted. A lever 31 is fixed to the stopper rod 30 as shown in FIG.

  The operation of the valve unit 20 will be described. First, hot water and water that have passed through the hot water flow path 6 and the water flow path 7 of the main body 4 flow into the hot water supply through hole 25 and the water supply through hole 26 of the fixed disk 21. If the concave portion 28 of the movable disk 22 is located across the hot water supply through hole 25, the water supply through hole 26, and the mixed water through hole 27, it flows into the hot water supply through hole 25 and the water supply through hole 26. The hot and cold water merged into the concave portion 28 to become mixed water M, and then the mixed water M reaches the mixed water flow path 8 of the main body portion 4 through the mixed water through hole 27 of the fixed disk 21.

  Here, when the lever 31 is in the state shown in FIG. 4, the movable disk 22 is in a position close to one side in the case body 24, and the recess 28 of the movable disk 22 is a through hole for mixed water in the fixed disk 21. 27, since it does not straddle the hot water supply through hole 25 and the water supply through hole 26, the hot water does not flow into the recess 28, and the water is stopped. When the lever 31 tilts in the direction of the arrow T shown in FIG. 4 (at this time, the plug bar 30 rotates around the pin 29), the movable disk 22 is directed toward the other side of the case body 24 by the action of the plug bar 30. If the amount of movement is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount, the recess 28 straddles the hot water supply through hole 25 and the water supply through hole 26 and enters a water discharge state. As the movable disk 22 moves to the other side of the case body 24, the flow rate of hot water flowing into the recess 28 from the hot water supply through hole 25 and the water supply through hole 26 increases. The flow rate of hot water (mixed water M) reaching 8 increases.

  Further, as the lever 31 is rotated in the direction of the arrow H shown in FIG. 3A, the degree of communication between the concave portion 28 of the movable disk 22 and the hot water supply through hole 25 is determined by the degree of communication between the concave portion 28 and the water supply through hole 26. And the proportion of hot water in the mixed water M increases. Further, if the lever 7 is rotated in the reverse direction (arrow C direction), the degree of communication between the recess 28 and the water supply through hole 26 becomes greater than the degree of communication between the recess 28 and the hot water supply through hole 25, and mixing is performed. The proportion of water in water M increases.

  The valve unit 20 can adjust the mixing ratio and the flow rate of the hot water with the lever 31 when the hot water introduced from the hot water channel 6 and the water channel 7 of the main body 4 is led to the mixed water channel 8. As a mechanism for that, a known configuration such as the configuration shown in FIG. 3 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-282658 relating to the prior application of the applicant of the present application can be adopted. A more detailed description of the valve unit 20 is omitted here.

  And the main-body part 4 and the valve unit 20 are shown to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 (A), FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 9 (A)-(E) (refer especially FIG. 9 (A)-(E)). It is housed and mounted in a housing 40 made of a casting (made of a copper alloy in this example). On the side of the housing 40, as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, a protruding cylinder portion 41 used for mounting the valve unit 20 is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 9D, a substantially circular rear opening 42 is provided on the rear surface (rear surface) of the housing 40, and this rear opening 42 is the rear surface of the main body 4. One opening (rear opening) H is formed by the back opening 11 and the rear opening 42 in communication with the opening 11 (see FIG. 5).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 (A) and 9 (D), the upper end of the housing 40 communicates with the inner space of the rear opening 42, and the lower end is opened below the housing 40. Two screw holes 43 extending obliquely are formed symmetrically. As shown in FIG. 2, the left and right sides of the back surface of the housing 40 are provided with step portions 44 that protrude rearward, so that the screw holes 43 do not appear on the side of the housing 40.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, a female screw 43 a is provided on the inner wall surface of each screw hole 43, and a fixing screw 45 having a male screw 45 a that is screwed to the female screw 43 a is screwed into the screw hole 43. .

  As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the tip of the fixing screw 45 is provided with a recess 45b and a tapered surface 45c that extends from the periphery of the recess 45b toward the rear end. In addition, the fixing screw 45 is provided with a recessed portion 45d that extends from the rear end surface toward the front end side and has an inner peripheral wall portion having a non-circular sectional shape (regular hexagonal shape in this example). Accordingly, an appropriate tool (in this example, a hexagon wrench) that engages with the inner peripheral wall portion of the recessed portion 45d is inserted, and the fixing screw 45 can be easily inserted into the screw hole 43 by rotating the tool. Can be screwed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9D, a recess 46 is provided on the upper back surface of the housing 40 (above the rear opening 42).

  Next, the structure of the water discharging member 2 will be described.

  The water discharge member 2 is a metal member (made of stainless steel in this example), and as shown in FIGS. 2, 3A, 11A, and 11B, the water discharge member has a bent plate-like appearance. The water discharge pipe 51 includes a base 52 extending in a substantially vertical direction, and a mountain-shaped portion 53 extending in a mountain shape from above the base 52 toward the front of the base 52, and the tip of the mountain-shaped portion 53. A horizontally long water outlet 3 is provided on the side.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3A, 11A, and 11B, a substantially cylindrical cylindrical portion 54 made of metal (stainless steel in this example) is provided at the lower front surface of the base 52. It has been. In addition, this cylinder part 54 is joined to the base 52 by welding, for example. And the opening is formed in the location where the cylinder part 54 is joined in the front surface of the base 52 so that the inside of the cylinder part 54 and the inside of the base 52 (water discharge pipe 51) may communicate.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 11A, an annular taper groove 55 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 54 along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3A, 11A, and 11B, a substantially cylindrical convex portion 56 made of metal (in this example, made of stainless steel) is provided on the upper front surface of the base 52. It has been. In addition, this convex part 56 is joined to the base 52 by welding, for example.

  Next, a method for attaching the water discharge member 2 to the faucet body 1 will be described.

  (1) As shown in FIG. 2, the faucet body 1 and the water discharge member 2 are each assembled beforehand. At this time, the fixing screw 45 is not screwed into the screw hole 43 of the faucet body 1.

  (2) First, the convex portion 56 and the cylindrical portion 54 of the water discharging member 2 are inserted into the concave portion 46 and the rearward opening portion H of the faucet body 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 3A).

  Thereby, the rough positioning of the water discharging member 2 is made. There is a slight gap between the concave portion 46 and the convex portion 56, and there is also a gap between the rearward opening H and the cylindrical portion 54, so the water discharge member 2 is not completely positioned. Absent.

  Further, at this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the cylindrical portion 54 is externally fitted to the connecting pipe 13 that extends toward the rear side of the faucet body 1 inside the rearward opening H. .

  (3) Subsequently, the two fixing screws 45 are screwed into the two screw holes 43 from below, and the tip portions (tapered surfaces 45 c) of the fixing screws 45 are tapered grooves 55 of the cylindrical portion 54. (See FIGS. 2 and 3B).

  That is, as the two fixing screws 45 are screwed, even after the tip portions (tapered surfaces 45c) of the fixing screws 45 come into contact with the groove walls of the tapered grooves 55, they slide on the groove walls and eventually the faucet The gap between the back surface of the main body 1 and the front surface of the base portion 52 of the water discharging member 2 is eliminated so that the water discharging member 2 is completely positioned, and the cylindrical portion 54 and thus the water discharging member 2 is firmly fixed to the faucet main body 1. Will be.

  With the above, the attachment of the water discharge member 2 to the faucet body 1 is completed, and with the faucet assembled in this manner, wide and strip-like (film-like) water discharge from the water discharge port 3 can be performed satisfactorily. That is, in the conventional faucet that performs wide water discharge, a member for forming a weir is separately provided on the upstream side of the water outlet in order to reliably perform this wide water discharge. However, there was a problem of increasing complexity and size.

  However, in the faucet of the present example, the water discharge member 2 forms a water channel on the upstream side of the water discharge port 3 from the inside of the cylindrical portion 54 to the front of the faucet body 1 through the rear and upper sides of the faucet body 1 in this order. Since the flow path from the base 52 of the water discharging member 2 to the uppermost portion 53a of the mountain-shaped portion 53 also plays a role as a weir, there is no need to separately provide a member for forming a conventional weir, Therefore, the structure around the water outlet 3 can be made simple, downsized, and thinned accordingly.

  In addition, since the two fixing screws 45 are in a left-right symmetric and firm contact with the cylindrical portion 54, even if a person accidentally or intentionally presses the left and right ends of the spout 3 downward, The mounting posture of the water discharge member 2 is not distorted by the pressing force.

  Furthermore, the structure which fixes the water discharging member 2 to the faucet main body 1 by providing the taper groove 55 in the cylinder part 54 of the water discharging member 2 and making the fixing screw 45 contact | abut on the groove wall of this taper groove 55 is employ | adopted. Therefore, high-precision processing is not required to provide the two screw holes 43, and the water faucet of this example can be manufactured at a low cost.

  In addition, the water tap of this example can change suitably components, such as a material and a shape of each member. Therefore, a modification of this example is shown below.

  In this example, the faucet is a hot and cold water mixing faucet, but is not limited thereto, and may be a single faucet.

  Further, in this example, the faucet is a single lever type faucet, but as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, it has two handles (a hot water flow rate adjustment handle 61 and a water flow rate adjustment handle 62). It may be a type of faucet.

  In this example, the faucet is installed on the wash basin S, but the faucet may be installed in the bathtub U as shown in FIG.

  Moreover, in this example, the water discharging member 2 is made of stainless steel, and since there is material strength, an intermediate portion of the water discharging member does not bend. However, the water discharge member 2 may be made of resin. In this case, in order to prevent the intermediate portion of the water discharge member 2 from being bent, a rib may be provided at an appropriate location.

  In this example, only one recess 46 and one protrusion 56 are provided, but two or more may be provided.

  In this example, two pairs of screw holes 43 and fixing screws 45 are provided symmetrically in the left-right direction, but only one pair may be provided, or three or more pairs may be provided symmetrically in the left-right direction.
