Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic faucet that automatically discharges water based on human body detection by a human body detection sensor, and more specifically, every time a human body detection sensor detects a human body in a non-contact manner according to a user's hand-holding operation. Further, the present invention relates to an automatic faucet that is a sensor that alternately switches between water discharge and water stop, and that includes a display unit that displays the type of water discharge.

Conventionally, automatic faucets that automatically discharge water based on human body detection by a human body detection sensor have been widely used.
For example, in a public toilet, the human body detection sensor is provided at the tip of the water discharge pipe so that the human body detection sensor is directed in the same direction as the direction of water discharge from the water discharge port. Automatic water that automatically discharges water from the spout by detecting the hand that is put out by the human body detection sensor (human body detection), and automatically stops water discharge when the human body detection sensor is not detected. A stopper is widely used as a water faucet.

  By the way, in recent years, automatic faucets have come to be used as kitchen faucets and the like for homes. In this case, the detection direction of the human body detection sensor is directed in the same direction as the direction of water discharge from the water outlet, If the automatic water discharge is performed by detecting the human body and the automatic water stop is performed by non-detecting the human body, the automatic faucet becomes inconvenient.

  When such an automatic faucet is used as a kitchen faucet, when cooking work is performed toward the sink of the sink, the operator's hand is placed in the detection area of the human body detection sensor even though there is no intention of water discharge. If you enter, the water will be discharged from the water outlet, or when you wash things, etc., even though you want to discharge water continuously, the water is not discharged because the tableware, pan, or operator's hand is outside the detection area. Alternatively, when a hand or the like enters or exits the detection area, water discharge may be performed or water discharge may be stopped.

  In such a case, the detection direction of the human body detection sensor is different from the direction of water discharge from the water discharge port, that is, the direction in which the human body or other objects ahead of the water discharge direction are not detected, and each time human body detection is performed It is desirable that the water discharge and the water stop be alternately performed.

  By doing so, water can be discharged and continued by the user holding the hand in front of the detection direction of the human body detection sensor. In addition, when water stop is desired, the user can hold the water in front of the detection direction of the human body detection sensor and stop water discharge, that is, stop the water.

  When an automatic faucet is used as a kitchen faucet, for example, water (cold water) and hot water adjusted to an appropriate temperature, or hot water and purified water (water obtained by purifying tap water) are discharged. It is desirable to be able to increase the convenience of the automatic faucet.

In this case, when the first human body detection sensor and the second human body detection sensor are provided in the water discharge pipe according to the type of water discharge, it is usually difficult to secure a large space for the water discharge pipe. The first human body detection sensor and the second human body detection sensor are provided side by side.
For example, such an automatic faucet is disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below.

  By the way, these human body detection sensors are usually in a position hidden under the light-transmitting sensor window, and in order to display which human body detection sensor corresponds to which type of water discharge, For this purpose, a display unit for this purpose is provided at a position corresponding to each sensor.

FIG. 3A shows a specific example of such a human body detection sensor and a display unit.
In FIG. 3A, 200 is a first human body detection sensor (here, a sensor for discharging hot water), and 202 is a second human body detection sensor (a sensor for discharging purified water). The sensor window 204 is provided on the back side.
Reference numerals 206 </ b> A and 206 </ b> B are a character display unit and an optical display unit (here, LEDs) that display the type of water discharge corresponding to the first human body detection sensor 200, respectively, and they constitute the first display unit 206.
On the other hand, 208A and 208B are a character display part and a light display part (here, LEDs) for displaying the type of water discharge corresponding to the second human body detection sensor 202, respectively, and they constitute the second display part 208. .

  Here, the character display units 206A and 208A are provided at the upper positions adjacent to the first human body detection sensor 200 and the second human body detection sensor 202, respectively, and the optical display units 206B and 208B are respectively the first human body detection sensor 200 and the second human body detection sensor 202. The detection sensor 200 and the second human body detection sensor 202 are provided at substantially overlapping positions.

  By the way, when the display unit is arranged in this way, the user of the faucet aims at the first display unit 206 or the second display unit 208, particularly the light display unit 206B or 208B, and the first human body detection sensor 200 or the second display unit. The present inventors have found out that there is a tendency to operate the human body detection sensor 202 with the hand by holding it.

  In this case, when the user tries to operate the second human body detection sensor 202 by hand, the second display unit 208, particularly the light display unit 208B, is located relatively close to the first human body detection sensor 200. When the hand held up in the middle of the operation enters the detection area of the first human body detection sensor 200, the first human body detection sensor 200 erroneously detects this, and the user originally discharges purified water. Despite attempts to do so, there is a risk that hot water will be accidentally discharged.

In this case, it is conceivable that the second human body detection sensor 202 is provided far away from the first human body detection sensor 200 in the upward direction in the figure, but in reality, this is difficult.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to secure such a wide space for installing a sensor in a water discharge pipe that originally had a difficult space for installing a sensor, the second human body detection sensor 202 has a As a result, the distance from the user is further increased, and the operability during the hand-holding operation is deteriorated.

  In addition, when the water discharge pipe has an inverted U-shaped gooseneck shape and the human body detection sensors are installed side by side along the water discharge pipe, the second human body detection sensor 202 at the upper position is further moved upward. If it makes it transfer, when the raising / lowering cabinet provided so that raising / lowering is possible in a kitchen is lowered | hung, there exists a possibility that this may be detected accidentally.

JP 2006-144326 A JP 2004-92023 A

  The present invention is based on the above circumstances, and when a user tries to discharge water by a hand-holding operation, the human body detection sensor does not cause a false detection of a hand held by the human body detection sensor. It was made for the purpose of providing an automatic faucet equipped with a sensor.

  Thus, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the human body is detected in a non-contact manner in accordance with the user's hand-holding operation, and at least two types of first and second modes for alternately switching the water discharge and the water stop each time the human body is detected. The human body detection sensor is arranged side by side on the water discharge pipe, and the first display unit that displays the type of water discharge corresponding to the first human body detection sensor, and the type of water discharge corresponding to the second human body detection sensor are displayed. In the automatic water faucet in which the second display unit is provided on the water discharge pipe, the first display unit is located on the side farther from the second human body detection sensor and opposite to the second human body detection sensor. At the position adjacent to the first human body detection sensor, and the second display unit is located on the side farther from the first human body detection sensor and opposite to the first human body detection sensor. Positioned adjacent to the second human body sensor in position And wherein the are.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, in the first aspect, the water discharge pipe has an inverted U-shaped gooseneck shape, and the first human body detection is performed at a portion that forms a downward shape from the uppermost portion toward the tip. A sensor and a second human body detection sensor are arranged side by side with the first human body detection sensor on the bottom and the second human body detection sensor on the top, and the first display unit is the first human body detection sensor. The second display unit is arranged below the human body detection sensor and above the second human body detection sensor, respectively.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, the light display section in the first display section is at the lower end of the sensor window section of the first human body detection sensor, and the light display section in the second display section. Each of the second human body detection sensors is arranged at the upper end of the sensor window.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to third aspects, at least one of the first display unit and the second display unit is turned on when the water stops, flashes when the water is discharged, and water is discharged. It is characterized in that the emission color is changed according to the temperature.

Effects and effects of the invention

  As described above, the present invention provides the first display unit corresponding to the first human body detection sensor at the first position at a position far from the second human body detection sensor and opposite to the second human body detection sensor. The second display unit corresponding to the second human body detection sensor is arranged on the side far from the first human body detection sensor and opposite to the first human body detection sensor. It is arranged adjacent to the second human body detection sensor at the position.

In such an automatic water faucet of the present invention, for example, when the user extends his / her hand to aim at the second display unit while operating the second human body detection sensor, the second display unit is Since it is located far from the first human body detection sensor, it is possible to effectively prevent the first human body detection sensor from erroneously detecting this.
Similarly, when the user tries to operate the first human body detection sensor and extends his hand toward the first display unit, the second human body detection sensor may detect this erroneously. It can be effectively prevented.

  In the present invention, since the position of the display unit is set as described above, the effect of the position of the display unit prevents erroneous detection by the human body detection sensor. In the case where the second human body detection sensor is provided side by side on the water discharge pipe, erroneous detection can be effectively prevented without particularly increasing the distance between the first human body detection sensor and the second human body detection sensor.

Therefore, in order to prevent false detection, installing the two types of human body detection sensors at a large distance may increase the space for installing the water discharge sensor or make it difficult to hold the hand. Inconvenience can be avoided.
Further, according to the present invention, the first display unit and the second display unit are located far away from each other. Therefore, when the user performs a hand-holding operation, it is easy to know where to place the hand. Can also be obtained.

  In the present invention, it is possible to arrange the first human body detection sensor and the second human body detection sensor side by side in the front view as viewed from the user, but the water discharge pipe is reversed. In the case of a U-shaped gooseneck shape, according to claim 2, the first human body detection sensor is placed on the lower portion of the water discharge pipe from the uppermost portion toward the tip, and the second human body detection sensor They are arranged side by side with the human body detection sensor facing up, and the first display unit is arranged below the first human body detection sensor and the second display unit is arranged above the second human body detection sensor. I can keep it.

When the water discharge pipe has such an inverted U-shaped gooseneck shape, it is difficult to provide the second human body detection sensor behind the water discharge pipe beyond the uppermost position and further to the far side. If it does so, the visibility of the 2nd human body detection sensor and the 2nd display part will worsen, and operation will also become difficult.
Accordingly, it is preferable that the first human body detection sensor, the second human body detection sensor, and the corresponding display unit are provided in a portion that has a downward shape from the uppermost portion of the water discharge pipe to the tip.

  However, even in this case, if the second human body detection sensor is arranged rearward and upward away from the first human body detection sensor, the detection direction of the second human body detection sensor becomes more upward, and the lift provided in the kitchen When the cabinet is lowered, the second human body detection sensor may erroneously detect this.

However, in the present invention, since it is not necessary to install the first human body detection sensor and the second human body detection sensor apart from each other, such a problem can be effectively avoided.
That is, the present invention is particularly effective when applied to an automatic faucet having such a gooseneck-shaped water discharge pipe.

  According to the second aspect, the optical display unit in the first display unit is provided at the lower end of the sensor window unit of the first human body detection sensor, and the optical display unit in the second display unit is provided by the second human body detection sensor. It can be provided at the upper end of the sensor window (claim 3).

Next, claim 4 is an optical display in which at least one of the first display unit and the second display unit is turned on when water stops, blinks when water is discharged, and changes the emission color according to the water discharge temperature. It can be made to have a part.
If it does in this way, it will become possible to display the type of water discharge, the state of water discharge or water stop, and also the water discharge temperature by a single light display part.
