Description

  The present invention relates to a wall faucet that is a wash basin of the type in which a faucet is attached to a panel portion fixed to a wall.

  Conventionally, as a type of bathroom vanity, there is a faucet with a base in which a faucet (a faucet body) is installed on an installation surface of a counter of a basin, for example. In a faucet with a base, water tends to accumulate around the faucet on the installation surface, which is an upward surface, due to the installation form of the faucet. For this reason, the faucet with a base creates an environment in which scale and mold are easily generated due to water accumulated on the installation surface. Therefore, in recent years, from the rise of cleanliness and ease of washing, etc., the installation form of the faucet of the vanity is from the type with a stand where the faucet is installed on the installation surface of the counter of the washbasin, Shifting to a wall-mounted type in which a faucet is attached to the panel fixed to the wall.

  For faucets with walls, where the faucet is installed on the wall, the panel is fixed to the wall and the panel, which is the part to which the faucet is attached, is fixed to the wall with the back guard installed. There is a thing provided with the composition to be performed (for example, refer to patent documents 1). Specifically, in a wall-mounted faucet, a basin is installed on a base such as a cabinet installed on the floor. The wash basin has a back guard, which is a wall-shaped part protruding upward substantially parallel to the wall surface, on the back side (wall side to which the panel part is fixed). On this back guard, the panel part which supports a water faucet is installed in the state fixed to the wall. A housing such as a mirror or a cabinet is generally installed on the upper side of the panel unit.

  In such a faucet with a wall, when exchanging the faucet or performing maintenance of the faucet part, it is necessary to remove the panel portion to which the faucet is attached from the wall, unlike the faucet with a base. That is, in the faucet with a base, the faucet can be exchanged by the work from the lower side of the basin or the like where the faucet is installed. On the other hand, in the wall faucet, since the panel portion that supports the faucet is fixed to the wall, the faucet can be replaced while the panel portion is fixed to the wall. First, the panel must be removed from the wall when replacing the faucet.

  And in the conventional faucet with a wall, in order to remove a panel part from a wall, when exchanging a faucet etc., it is necessary to remove or shift housings, such as a mirror located in the upper part of a panel part. The removal of the basin and the like in order to remove the panel part from the wall in this way means that the panel part is positioned above and below for the purpose of stabilizing the fixed state of the panel part with respect to the wall. This is due to the fact that it has a portion that overlaps the case such as a container or a mirror.

  That is, in the conventional wall-mounted faucet, the panel portion fixed to the wall is at least one of a washbasin located below the panel portion and a housing such as a mirror located above the panel portion. In the relationship, it has overlapping parts. In this case, the overlapping portion is a portion that overlaps the wall surface in the vertical direction so that the panel portion is located on the back side (back side). In other words, the panel part fixed to the wall has a part covered from the front side (front side) with respect to the back side by the wash basin or the cabinet. Patent Document 1 describes a configuration in which a portion corresponding to a panel portion to which a faucet is attached has an overlapping portion in relation to a basin having a back guard.

  As described above, in the conventional faucet with a wall, in order to remove the panel part from the wall, the basin located below the panel part or the housing such as the mirror located above the panel part can also be removed. Work to shift is necessary. Therefore, in the conventional faucet with a wall, when exchanging the faucet or the like, a large-scale work is required to remove the panel portion from the wall.

And in this structural example, the panel part 104 is fixed with respect to the wall surface W, when the part of the upper side protrusion 104b is fixed to the wall surface W with the screw | thread 126. FIG. That is, the screw 126 passes through the upper protrusion 104b and is screwed into the wall surface W.

  In this configuration example, having the lower protrusion 104 a and the upper protrusion 104 b, which are overlapping portions in the relationship between the wash basin 105 and the mirror unit 106, means that the screw 126 with respect to the wall surface W of the panel portion 104. To stabilize the fixed state. That is, the overlapping part of the panel part 104 with respect to the washbasin 105 and the mirror unit 106 is a part covered from the front side by the washbasin 105 and the mirror unit 106. For this reason, about the panel part 104 to which the force accompanying pulling-out operation etc. of a faucet body acts, the fixed state with respect to the wall surface W by fixing the part of the upper side protrusion 104b with the screw | thread 126 is stabilized.

  However, in the configuration in which the panel unit 104 has an overlapping portion in relation to the wash basin 105 and the mirror unit 106 as shown in FIG. 7, the panel portion 104 is detached from the wall surface W alone by the overlapping portion. Is disturbed. In this configuration example, when removing the panel unit 104 from the wall surface W, it is necessary to remove at least the mirror unit 106 from the wall in order to remove the screw 126. Removing the wash basin 105 or the mirror unit 106 installed on the wall surface W from the wall surface W causes a reduction in workability when replacing the faucet body performed by removing the panel unit 104 from the wall surface W. .

  On the other hand, the wall-mounted water faucet 1 of this embodiment is comprised without having the part which the panel part 4 overlaps with the washbasin 5 and the mirror unit 6 in the back direction at the back side. For this reason, in the faucet 1 with a wall of this embodiment, the panel part 4 can be removed from the wall surface W alone, without affecting the installation state with respect to the wall surface W of the washbasin 5 and the mirror unit 6. FIG.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, in the wall faucet 1 of the present embodiment, the space from the front side of the panel unit 4 from the state in which the panel unit 4 is fixed to the wall surface W (see FIG. 5). The panel portion 4 can be removed from the wall surface W by removing the screw 26 from the wall surface W via the portion 30. That is, by removing the screw 26 from the wall surface W from the state in which the panel portion 4 is fixed to the wall surface W, the panel portion 4 is removed from between the wash basin 5 and the mirror unit 6 in a state of being installed on the wall surface W. It can be pulled out to the near side (hereinafter simply referred to as “the near side”) in the forward direction (see arrow A1).

  Moreover, when fixing the panel part 4 with respect to the wall surface W again, in the state which made the panel part 4 into the wall surface fixing position between the washbasin 5 in the state installed in the wall surface W, and the mirror unit 6, The panel portion 4 is fixed to the wall surface W by screwing the screws 26 into the wall surface W through the space portion 30 from the front side of the portion 4. Such removal of the panel unit 4 from the wall surface W and fixation to the wall surface W are performed using the mating surfaces between the panel unit 4 and the washbasin 5 and the mirror unit 6 as slide surfaces. Thus, in the wall faucet 1 of the present embodiment, the panel unit 4 is attached to and detached from the wall surface W without affecting the installation state of the basin 5 and the mirror unit 6 alone.

  In the wall faucet 1 according to the present embodiment, the panel unit 4 includes a boss portion 27 that is formed inside the panel unit 4 and supports the screw 26 as a fixing unit to the wall surface W. As a result, in a portion fixed to the wall surface W of the panel unit 4, a portion sandwiched between the screw head 26 a of the screw 26 screwed into the wall surface W and the wall surface W (hereinafter referred to as “screw clamping portion”). The dimension B1 (see FIG. 5) in the screwing direction (frontward direction) of the screw 26 can be easily secured.

  That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the panel unit 104 is fixed to the wall surface W by the screw 126 in the overlapping portion (upper protrusion 104 b) existing on the back side of the mirror unit 106, the panel unit 104 is fixed by the screw 126. The shape of the portion (upper protrusion 104 b) is affected by the shape of the mirror unit 106. For this reason, the dimension of the screw 126 in the screwing direction (backward direction) of the part (screw clamping part) sandwiched between the screw head 126a and the wall surface W of the screw 126 in a state of being screwed into the wall surface W of the screw 126 is determined. It is difficult to secure. Therefore, with respect to the fixing structure of the panel portion 104 to the wall surface W as shown in FIG. 7, it is difficult to obtain a stable fixing state with the panel portion 104 alone because of the rigidity of the panel portion 104. This is because the force point of the force acting in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 3 and the spout 7 is on the front surface of the panel unit 104, so that the closer the fixing point to the wall surface W of the panel unit 104 is to the wall surface W, This is because the fixed portion is easily affected by the moment caused by the operation of the operation unit 3 and the water outlet 7.

  In contrast, in the wall-mounted faucet 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a fixing portion for the wall surface W of the panel portion 4 is formed as a boss portion 27 in the internal space of the panel portion 4. For this reason, by using the internal space of the panel part 4, it becomes easy to ensure the dimension B1 of the screw clamping portion. Therefore, since the fixing point to the wall surface W of the panel part 104 can be made into the position away from the wall surface W, it acts with the force point of the force accompanying operation of the operation part 3 or the spout 7 and the fixing point of the panel part 104. Since the difference in the force to be reduced is small, the fixing portion of the panel portion 104 is less susceptible to the moment caused by the operation of the operation portion 3 and the water outlet 7. Thereby, the stable fixed state with respect to the wall surface W of the panel part 104 is obtained.

  Specifically, the dimension B1 of the screw clamping part is ensured by securing the dimension of the screw support part 27a of the boss part 27 in the frontward direction. The longer the dimension B1 of the screw clamping portion, the more stable the fixed state of the panel portion 4 with respect to the wall surface W can be stabilized due to the rigidity of the panel portion 4.

  Thus, in the wall faucet 1 of this embodiment, even if the panel part 4 does not have the part which overlaps in the back direction in the back side in relation to the washbasin 5 and the mirror unit 6, it is a panel. The fixing strength with respect to the wall surface W of the part 4 can be ensured. That is, in the wall faucet 1 of this embodiment, while being able to obtain the stable fixed state with respect to the wall surface W of the panel part 4, the panel part 4 can be easily removed from the wall surface W, and replacement | exchange of the faucet main body 2 Workability during maintenance and the like can be improved.

  Below, the preferable form which the faucet 1 with a wall of this embodiment has is demonstrated. In the wall-mounted water faucet 1 of this embodiment, the panel part 4 has the inclination part 40 which forms the slope 41 which falls from the near side (left side in FIG. 2) to the back side (right side in FIG. 2). The inclined portion 40 is provided on the near side in the panel portion 4. The inclined portion 40 has a slope 41 that makes the dimension in the frontward direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 2) larger than other portions.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the inclined portion 40 is provided in the upper portion of the panel portion 4, and as described above, the panel portion 4 having a substantially rectangular thick plate-like outer shape along the inclined surface 41 on the front side. The dimension in the plate thickness direction is increased toward the upper side. Therefore, the inclined portion 40 has a substantially isosceles triangular shape with the upper end and the back side portion being a right-angled portion in a side view (see FIG. 2) in the panel portion 4.

  Thus, in the structure which has the inclination part 40 in which the panel part 4 forms the slope 41, the faucet body 2 is provided so that it may protrude from the slope 41. That is, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the faucet body 2 protrudes to the front side in a state where it is attached to a portion forming the slope 41 in the front wall portion 28 of the panel portion 4.

  Specifically, the base portion 22 constituting the faucet body 2 is provided in a state of being attached to the inclined surface 41, and the head portion 21 is attached to the base portion 22 so that it can be pulled out. And as mentioned above, the faucet body 2 having an integrated form by the head portion 21 and the base portion 22 has a posture in which the longitudinal direction is along the inclined surface 41 and protrudes obliquely upward on the near side as its installation posture ( (See FIG. 2).

  Thus, in the configuration in which the faucet body 2 is provided so as to protrude from the inclined surface 41 of the inclined portion 40 in the panel portion 4, the boss portion 27 which is a fixing portion for fixing the panel portion 4 to the wall surface W includes: It is provided on the inclined portion 40 and is located outside the faucet body 2 and the operation portion 3 in the horizontal direction parallel to the wall surface W (left and right direction in FIG. 4, hereinafter simply referred to as “left and right direction”). That is, in the wall faucet 1 of the present embodiment, the boss portion 27 that is a fixing portion for the wall surface W of the panel portion 4 is outside in the left-right direction with respect to the faucet body 2 and the operation portion 3 in the inclined portion 40. It is provided in the position.

  Accordingly, the boss portions 27 provided at two positions in the panel portion 4 are provided in the following arrangement. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from the back side of the wall faucet 1, one boss portion 27 is on the right side (arrow) of the faucet body 2 arranged in the right portion in the left-right direction in the panel portion 4. C1)). Further, the other boss portion 27 is provided at a position on the left side (see arrow C <b> 2) with respect to the operation portion 3 disposed on the left side portion in the left-right direction in the panel portion 4. That is, in the panel part 4 of this embodiment, the two boss | hub parts 27 are provided in the position which pinches | interposes the part containing the faucet main body 2 and the operation part 3 from both sides in the left-right direction.

  In this way, the boss portion 27 that is a fixing portion with respect to the wall surface W of the panel portion 4 is provided on both outer sides in the left-right direction with respect to the faucet body 2 and the operation portion 3 in the inclined portion 40 of the panel portion 4. The fixing part of the panel part 4 by the screw 26 does not obstruct the hose 18 that connects the faucet body 2 and the operation part 3 (hot water mixing part 15) on the back side of the panel part 4. That is, the boss portion 27 that is a fixing portion of the panel portion 4 does not interfere with the hose 18. As a result, the hose 18 disposed between the faucet body 2 and the operation unit 3 inside the panel unit 4 has a degree of freedom of movement along with the piping path inside the panel unit 4 and the withdrawal of the head unit 21. Secured.

  Further, since the boss portion 27 that is the fixing portion of the panel portion 4 is provided in the inclined portion 40, the fixing portion by the screw 26 of the panel portion 4 is difficult to enter the line of sight from the front side of the wall-mounted water faucet 1. For this reason, the effect excellent also in the design surface is acquired.

  Moreover, the boss | hub part 27 which is a fixing | fixed part of the panel part 4 is provided in the inclination part 40, and securing of dimension B1 (refer FIG. 5) of a screw clamping part becomes easier. That is, since the inclined portion 40 is a portion in which the dimension in the frontward direction in the panel portion 4 is larger than the other portion, it is possible to secure the dimension in the frontward direction of the screw support portion 27a of the boss portion 27 that becomes the screw clamping portion. It becomes easier. Thereby, the stability of the fixed state with respect to the wall surface W of the panel part 4 can be improved.

  Therefore, for example, even in a configuration in which a force associated with the operation of pulling out the faucet body 2 acts on the panel portion 4 as in the present embodiment, the panel portion 4 can have sufficient rigidity. It is possible to stabilize the fixed state with respect to the wall surface W. In addition, the number in which the boss | hub part 27 is provided in the panel part 4 is not specifically limited. Therefore, the boss portions 27 may be provided at three or more locations, for example.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 8, and 9, in the wall faucet 1 of the present embodiment, a part of the opening on the back side of the panel portion 4 is covered with a hose cover 43. Yes. That is, the panel unit 4 of the present embodiment has a hose cover 43 that opens to the back side (back side) and forms a space 44 in which the hose 18 is disposed, and covers a part of the opening of the space 44.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the panel portion 4 includes an upper end surface portion 4 a that is a surface portion that forms a mating surface with respect to the mirror unit 6, a lower end surface portion 4 b that is a surface portion that forms a mating surface with respect to the basin 5, and the panel portion 4. In addition to the front wall portion 28 that is the front surface portion, side wall portions 45 that face each other are provided as the surface portions on both sides in the left-right direction. Therefore, in the panel portion 4, a box-shaped main body is constituted by the upper end surface portion 4a, the lower end surface portion 4b, the front wall portion 28, and the side wall portions 45 on both sides in the left-right direction, and a space 44 that opens to the back side is formed in this main body. The Inside the space 44 formed by the main body of the panel unit 4, the hose 18 connected to the operation unit 3 and the faucet main body 2 is accommodated on the back side of the panel unit 4 as described above (see FIG. 8).

  The hose cover 43 is a plate-like member that covers at least a portion of the opening of the space 44 formed by the main body of the panel portion 4 where the faucet main body 2 is provided. In the present embodiment, the hose cover 43 is a substantially rectangular plate-like member, and is a faucet disposed on the right side in the left-right direction of the panel unit 4 when viewed from the back side of the wall-mounted faucet 1 (see FIG. 3). Corresponding to the position where the main body 2 is provided, the main body 2 is provided at a position close to one side in the left-right direction (right side in FIG. 3).

  The hose cover 43 has a fixing portion 43a for the panel portion 4 at a portion located at substantially four corners of the substantially rectangular shape. In the fixing portion 43a of the hose cover 43, a screw hole is formed through which a screw 46 (see FIG. 8) for fixing the hose cover 43 to the panel portion 4 is passed. The two fixing portions 43a on the upper side of the hose cover 43 are fixed to the upper end surface portion 4a. The two fixing portions 43 a on the lower side of the hose cover 43 are fixed to the front wall portion 28 via bosses 43 b formed on the hose cover 43. Here, the boss 43b provided on one of the two fixed portions 43a on the lower side of the hose cover 43 (the lower right fixed portion 43a in FIG. 4) is attached to the hose 18 as described above. The one end side of the energizing winding spring 23 functions as a locking portion 24 that is locked.

  The hose cover 43 is configured such that an outer side plate surface 43c, which is a flat plate surface on the outer side (back side), substantially contacts the wall surface W in a state where the panel unit 4 is in the wall surface fixing position. Further, in the substantially rectangular plate-like hose cover 43, a stepped portion 43d is provided on the upper side portion including the upper two fixing portions 43a and the lower side portion including the lower two fixing portions 43a. .

  The stepped portions 43d formed above and below the hose cover 43 are stepped so that the plate-like hose cover 43 that is substantially parallel to the wall surface W is positioned closer to the wall surface W than the other portions. It is a part formed by bending. Accordingly, the stepped portion 43 d positions a part of the outer plate surface 43 c on the near side in a state where the hose cover 43 is fixed to the panel portion 4. The stepped portion 43d is formed so as to have a stepped portion such that the screw head of the screw 46 positioned on the fixing portion 43a of the hose cover 43 does not protrude outward (right side in FIG. 8) from the outer plate surface 43c. That is, the stepped portion 43d prevents the screw head portion of the screw 46 in the fixed portion 43a from protruding from the outer plate surface 43c.

  As described above, the hose cover 43 is provided in the main body of the panel unit 4, so that the hose 18 that moves in accordance with the pulling-out operation of the head portion 21 of the faucet main body 2 or the operation of returning the pulled-out head portion 21 hits the wall surface W. Thus, the wall surface W can be prevented from being damaged. That is, the hose 18 that moves in accordance with the operation of the head portion 21 of the faucet body 2 hits the inner side surface 43f of the hose cover 43, and the wall surface W to which the panel portion 4 is fixed is protected from the hose 18 by the hose cover 43. The

  Further, the hose cover 43 can improve the rigidity of the main body of the panel portion 4. That is, the hose cover 43 is fixed to the upper end surface portion 4a of the panel portion 4 and the front wall portion 28 by screws 46 in a manner that it is bridged up and down in the opening of the space 44 formed by the main body of the panel portion 4. Is done. For this reason, the hose cover 43 can suppress a decrease in rigidity of the panel unit 4 due to the back side of the main body of the panel unit 4 being opened over substantially the entire surface. Thus, since the rigidity as a whole of the panel part 4 can be improved by the influence of the hose cover 43, the phenomenon that the panel part 4 on which the force accompanying the pull-out operation or the like of the faucet body 2 acts is detached from the wall surface W. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 9-11, in the water tap 1 with a wall of this embodiment, the enclosure part 50 which is a tray-shaped part is provided in the lower part of the panel part 4.

The bottom plate portion 51 is a portion formed along the shape of the lower end surface portion 4b, and is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion having the left-right direction as the longitudinal direction. The side wall portion 52 is a wall-shaped portion that protrudes upward from the bottom plate portion 51 along three side portions other than the side portion on the near side (front wall portion 28 side) of the bottom plate portion 51.

  The enclosure 50 has a bottom surface 54 formed as a slope that goes down toward the front side. The bottom surface 54 is formed as an upper surface of the bottom plate portion 51. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the bottom surface 54 of the enclosure 50 forms a slope that extends from the back side (right side in FIG. 11) to the front side (left side in FIG. 11) on the upper side of the bottom plate part 51. For example, the inclination angle of the bottom surface 54 is set to 5 ° with respect to the horizontal plane in a state where the panel unit 4 is fixed to the wall surface W. However, the inclination angle of the bottom surface 54 is not limited.

  Further, the surrounding portion 50 has a peripheral wall surface 55 that surrounds the periphery of the bottom surface 54. The peripheral wall surface 55 is formed as an inner surface of the side wall portion 52. Further, the peripheral wall surface 55 includes a part of the back side surface 28 b of the front wall portion 28. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the surrounding wall surface 55 which the enclosure part 50 has is a wall surface part which surrounds the circumference | surroundings of the bottom face 54 used as the substantially rectangular shape which makes the left-right direction a longitudinal direction over substantially the whole. The dimension of the peripheral wall surface 55 in the height direction (height protruding upward from the bottom surface 54) is sufficiently small in comparison with the longitudinal dimension of the bottom surface 54.

  The enclosure 50 has a drain hole 56 that is provided on the lower side of the bottom surface 54 in the inclination direction and that opens to the bottom surface 54 and communicates the space on the bottom surface 54 with the wash ball 8. The drain hole 56 is formed so as to penetrate the bottom plate portion 51 in the vertical direction, and thus opens to the bottom surface 54. The drain hole 56 is formed at the base portion of the bottom plate portion 51 with respect to the front wall portion 28, so that it is provided on the lower side of the bottom surface 54 in the inclined direction (left side in FIG. 11). In this embodiment, the drain holes 56 are substantially rectangular holes, and are formed at three locations at substantially equal intervals in the left-right direction (see FIGS. 4 and 9).

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the water drain hole 56 penetrates the bottom plate portion 51, so that the space on the bottom surface 54 (the space in the enclosure portion 50) can be separated from the back side surface 28 b of the front wall portion 28 and the back surface 28 b. The wash bowl 8 is communicated with the front wall 9a of the guard 9. That is, the bottom plate portion 51 is included in a portion of the panel portion 4 installed on the back guard 9 of the wash basin 5 with respect to the upper end surface 9 c of the back guard 9. Further, the upper end portion of the back guard 9 is covered from the front side (the front wall surface 9 a side) by the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28. Accordingly, the space on the bottom surface 54 is, through the drain hole 56, the front wall surface 9a of the back guard 9 continuous from the concave surface 8a of the wash bowl 8, and the back side surface of the front wall portion 28 facing the front wall surface 9a. The space formed between 28b is communicated with the wash bowl 8 as a communication path.

  According to the enclosure 50 having such a configuration, water dropped on the bottom surface 54 or dropped on the bottom surface 54 along the surrounding wall surfaces such as the back side surface 28b of the front wall portion 28 and the inner side surface 43f of the hose cover 43. Etc. (see FIG. 10, reference symbol Wa) and flows to the wash bowl 8 (see the arrow D1 in FIG. 10). That is, water or the like caught by the enclosure 50 is guided to the drain hole 56 side by the inclination of the bottom surface 54 (see arrow E1 in FIG. 11) and passes through the drain hole 56 from the front side of the back guard 9 to the wash bowl. 8 (see arrow E2 in the figure). That is, the drain hole 56 functions as a drainage hole in the enclosure 50.

  Here, as water or the like captured by the enclosure 50, water that enters the back side of the panel portion 4 through the hose 18 as the faucet body 2 is pulled out or returned, or water in the hot water mixing portion 15 is used. The leakage from the connection part of the piping 16, the hot water piping 17, and the hose 18 is included. For this reason, the enclosure part 50 is provided so that it may cover the range in which the faucet body 2 and the operation part 3 are provided at least in the vertical direction as described above.

  Further, a foam packing 57 is interposed between the enclosure 50 and the back guard 9 at a front side portion between the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 51 and the upper end surface 9 c of the back guard 9. . For example, when cleaning the wash basin 5, the foam packing 57 has water or detergent that enters between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9 from the wash ball 8 side between the panel portion 4 and the back guard 9 ( It is prevented from flowing into the wall surface W side (between the lower surface of the bottom plate portion 51 and the upper end surface 9c of the back guard 9).

  As described above, in the configuration in which the panel portion 4 has the enclosure portion 50, the water entering the inside of the panel portion 4 through the hose 18 in accordance with the operation of the faucet body 2 and the piping in the hot water mixing portion 15. Water or the like generated on the back side of the panel portion 4 such as water leakage from the connection portion can be guided to the front wash bowl 8.

  Further, the leakage of water from the connecting portion of the pipe in the hot water / mixing section 15 is guided to the wash bowl 8, so that the user of the wall mounted faucet 1 can connect the pipe in the hot water / mixing section 15 from the front side. Leakage such as drip leaking from the connection is easily detected. Thereby, the water leak which arises by the poor connection of piping etc. in the back side of the panel part 4 can be detected rapidly, and the expansion of the damage by water leak can be prevented. That is, the enclosure part 50 fulfills a function of detecting water leakage occurring on the back side of the panel part 4.

  In addition, an enclosure 50 for guiding water or the like generated on the back side of the panel unit 4 to the front side is provided on the back side portion of the panel unit 4 covered by the front wall portion 28. For this reason, the design of the panel part 4 is not impaired by the enclosure part 50.

  In the present embodiment, substantially rectangular drain holes 56 are formed at three locations in the enclosure 50, but the shape, size, number, etc. of the drain holes 56 are not particularly limited. . Further, the inclination direction of the bottom surface 54 of the enclosure 50 may include a horizontal inclination. That is, the shape or the like of the enclosure 50 is not particularly limited as long as the water or the like in the enclosure 50 is guided to the drain hole 56 by the inclination of the bottom surface 54 and flows into the wash bowl 8.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, in the relationship between the hose cover 43 and the enclosure 50, at least the lower end portion of the front side surface of the hose cover 43 is in front of the peripheral wall surface 55 of the enclosure 50. Located on the side. In the present embodiment, the hose cover 43 has the stepped portion 43d at the lower end portion as described above. The step portion 43d is provided by forming a lower end portion of the hose cover 43 in a crank shape in a side view, and partially positions the lower end portion of the hose cover 43 on the near side.

  Since the hose cover 43 has the stepped portion 43d at the lower end portion, the lower end portion of the hose cover 43 is positioned on the front side (left side in FIG. 11) of the side wall portion 52 of the enclosure portion 50. As a result, the position of the lower end side portion of the inner side surface 43f that is the front side surface of the hose cover 43, that is, the stepped portion 43d on the lower side of the inner side surface 43f, in the frontward direction (see FIG. 11, reference numeral F1). However, it is located in the near side rather than the position (refer code F2) of the peripheral wall surface 55 of enclosure 50.

  As described above, the lower end portion of the inner side surface 43f of the hose cover 43 is positioned on the front side with respect to the peripheral wall surface 55 of the surrounding portion 50, so that water or the like attached to the inner side surface 43f of the hose cover 43 can be reliably discharged. It can be captured by the enclosure 50. That is, for example, when the faucet body 2 is operated, water may hit the inner surface 43 f of the hose cover 43 from the hose 18. In this case, water falls along the inner side surface 43f. However, since the lower end portion of the inner side surface 43f is located on the near side of the peripheral wall surface 55, water or the like that falls along the inner side surface 43f is reliably transferred to the bottom surface. 54 and is captured by the enclosure 50.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 12 to 14, in the wall faucet 1 of the present embodiment, the space portion 30 formed by the boss portion 27 that is a fixing portion of the panel portion 4 has a cap shape. It is closed by a makeup cap 60 that is a member. That is, the boss portion 27 that is a fixing portion of the panel portion 4 is an inclined portion in order to fix the panel portion 4 to the wall surface W from a position on the back side with respect to the inclined surface 41 of the inclined portion 40 of the panel portion 4. The space part 30 opened to the slope 41 which 40 has is formed. And the space part 30 is closed by the makeup | decoration cap 60 from the side (left side in FIG. 13) opened with respect to the slope 41 which the inclination part 40 has.

  The space portion 30 is formed by the opening forming portion 27b of the boss portion 27 as described above. Specifically, the space portion 30 includes a back side surface 31 in contact with a screw head 26a of a screw 26 for fixing the panel portion 4 to the wall surface W, a pair of side surfaces 32 facing in the left-right direction, and an upper surface. It is formed by a certain ceiling surface 33 and a bottom surface 34 which is a lower surface facing the ceiling surface 33. That is, the side surface 32 on both sides, the ceiling surface 33, and the bottom surface 34 form an opening 30 a of the space portion 30 with respect to the slope 41 on the near side in the space portion 30. The space part 30 has a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front side.

  From the opening side with respect to the inclined surface 41 of the space part 30, the panel part 4 is fixed to the wall surface W when the screw 26 is screwed into the wall surface W through the screw hole 27c. Thereby, the panel part 4 is fixed to the wall surface W from a position on the back side (right side in FIG. 13) from the inclined surface 41. Then, the decorative cap 60 is fitted into the space 30 of the panel unit 4 in a state of being fixed to the wall surface W by the screws 26.

  The decorative cap 60 includes a main body portion 61 that is a portion that is fitted into the shape of the space portion 30, and a decorative plate portion 62 that is formed on one side of the main body portion 61. The main body portion 61 has a shape corresponding to each surface portion forming the space portion 30. Therefore, the main body 61 is in a state of being substantially in contact with the side surfaces 32, the ceiling surface 33, and the bottom surface 34 on both sides forming the space portion 30 in a state where the decorative cap 60 is attached to the space portion 30.

  The decorative plate portion 62 is a portion that forms a decorative surface 63 that is flush with the inclined surface 41 in a state in which the decorative cap 60 is fitted in the opening 30 a in a state where the decorative cap 60 is mounted in the space portion 30. Therefore, the decorative plate portion 62 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the opening 30 a of the space portion 30. In the present embodiment, the decorative plate portion 62 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape corresponding to the shape of the opening 30 a of the space portion 30.

  Further, in the present embodiment, rail grooves 35 are formed on the side surfaces 32 on both sides forming the space portion 30 as a shape portion for guiding the mounting of the makeup cap 60 to the space portion 30, and the main body portion 61 of the makeup cap 60. An engaging protrusion 65 is formed on the upper surface. The rail groove 35 is a linear recess formed on the side surface 32 substantially in parallel with the front side direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 13). The engaging protrusions 65 are formed along the attaching / detaching direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 13) of the makeup cap 60 with respect to the space portion 30 on the left and right surface portions (surface portions corresponding to the side surfaces 32) of the body portion 61 of the makeup cap 60. It is a linear protrusion part. Since the engagement protrusion 65 of the decorative cap 60 attached to the space 30 is fitted into the rail groove 35, an action for maintaining the attachment state of the decorative cap 60 to the space 30 is obtained.

  Further, on the lower surface side of the body portion 61 of the cosmetic cap 60, a locking projection 66 for obtaining a final fitting state in the mounting process of the cosmetic cap 60 with respect to the space 30 is formed. The locking projection 66 abuts against the bottom surface 34 that forms the space portion 30, thereby generating a holding force for the space portion 30 with respect to the cosmetic cap 60 that is attached to the space portion 30.

  As described above, the cosmetic cap 60 is held in the mounting state with respect to the space 30 by the engaging protrusion 65 that engages with the rail groove 35 and the locking protrusion 66 that contacts the bottom surface 34. Thereby, it is prevented that the makeup | decoration cap 60 falls out from the space part 30. FIG.

  Further, the bottom surface 34 forming the space 30 is formed as an inclined surface that descends from the back side toward the near side (opening end side of the space portion 30). This prevents water, detergent, or the like that has entered the space 30 from staying in the space 30. That is, water, detergent, or the like that has entered the space portion 30 flows to the outlet side (opening portion 30a side) of the space portion 30 through the bottom surface 34, and from the gap between the decorative cap 60 and the opening portion 30a of the space portion 30. Flows out.

  For this reason, in the decorative cap 60, a locking recess 67 is formed in the decorative plate portion 62. The locking recess 67 is a notch portion formed in the lower end portion of the decorative plate portion 62. Due to the locking recess 67, a gap 68 is formed between the opening 30a of the space 30 and the makeup cap 60 in a state where the makeup cap 60 is mounted in the space 30 (FIGS. 13 and 14B). reference). The gap 68 formed by the locking recess 67 serves as an outlet when water, detergent, or the like that has entered the space 30 by the bottom surface 34 formed as a slope flows out of the space 30.

  For example, the inclination angle of the bottom surface 34 is set to 5 ° with respect to the horizontal plane in a state where the panel unit 4 is fixed to the wall surface W. However, the bottom surface 34 forming the space 30 is provided with a contact surface 34a formed as a substantially horizontal surface as a portion that receives the contact of the locking projection 66 of the decorative cap 60 (see FIG. 13). Thereby, the holding | maintenance effect | action with respect to the space part 30 of the decorative cap 60 by the latching protrusion 66 is acquired reliably. The gap 68 formed between the locking recess 67 and the opening 30 a is used as a locking portion when the cosmetic cap 60 attached to the space 30 is removed from the space 30. That is, the decorative cap 60 is removed from the space 30 by inserting a tool or the like into the gap 68.

  The decorative cap 60 having the above configuration is attached to the space portion 30 in the panel portion 4 in a state of being fixed to the wall surface W by the screws 26. That is, as shown to Fig.14 (a), the makeup | decoration cap 60 is inserted toward the back side along the back front direction with respect to the space part 30 from the main-body part 61 side (refer arrow G1). The cosmetic cap 60 inserted into the space 30 slides while being guided by the rail groove 35 via the engaging protrusion 65 and is fitted into the space 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 14B, the cosmetic cap 60 obtains a holding force with respect to the space 30 by the engaging protrusion 65 and the locking protrusion 66 and aligns the decorative surface 63 with the inclined surface 41 of the inclined portion 40. In this state, it is attached to the space 30.

  Thus, the screw head 26a of the screw 26 that faces the space 30 that opens to the front side is concealed by the space cap 30 that is formed in the fixing portion with respect to the wall surface W of the panel portion 4 being blocked by the decorative cap 60. It becomes a state. Thereby, the screw head 26a of the screw 26 for fixing the panel part 4 to the wall surface W is not visible to the user of the wall-mounted water faucet 1, and excellent design can be obtained in the panel part 4.

  Further, the makeup cap 60 may be used as an accessory case by utilizing the space inside the cap. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the makeup cap 60 forms a space 69 that opens to the back side in a state of being mounted in the space portion 30. A space 69 formed by the decorative cap 60 is used as a storage space for small items. When the makeup cap 60 is used as an accessory case, for example, the makeup cap 60 and the space 30 are formed in a considerable size according to the size of the accessory that is supposed to be accommodated, such as glasses or a contact case.

  In this way, the cosmetic cap 60 can be used for both screw concealment and accessory case in the fixing portion of the panel portion 4. Further, the space portion 30 to which the cosmetic cap 60 is attached can also be used as an accessory case by securing a considerable size. By using the cosmetic cap 60 and the space portion 30 as an accessory case, it is possible to effectively utilize the dead space generated in the fixing portion of the panel portion 4.

  Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the part which is common in embodiment mentioned above, description is abbreviate | omitted by using the same code | symbol. The wall-mounted water faucet 1 according to the present embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that the panel portion 4 has an inclined recess 70.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the panel portion 4 according to the present embodiment has an inclined recess 70 in the front wall portion 28. The inclined concave portion 70 is provided in the middle portion in the left-right direction at the lower end of the front side surface 28 a that is the front side surface of the panel portion 4. In the present embodiment, the inclined recess 70 is provided in the center portion in the left-right direction. The inclined recess 70 forms an inclined surface 71 that descends from the near side to the far side, and also forms a recess with respect to the front side surface 28a of the panel portion 4 and the lower end surface 28c that is the lower surface. In the present embodiment, the inclined recess 70 is formed such that the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 of the panel portion 4 is partially recessed so as to form the inclined surface 71.

  Specifically, the inclined surface 71 of the inclined concave portion 70 is formed by bending the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 constituting the panel portion 4 to the back side, so that a part of the front side surface 28a of the front wall portion 28 is formed. It is formed by. That is, the inclined surface 71 is formed as an inclined surface that descends from the upper side to the lower side when the front side surface 28a formed as a surface substantially parallel to the wall surface W is used as a reference.

  Moreover, the panel part 4 which concerns on this embodiment has the lower end surface 28c formed in a horizontal direction toward the back | inner side from the lower end of the front side surface 28a of the front wall part 28 substantially parallel to the wall surface W (refer FIG. 18). ). That is, the lower end surface 28c is a bottom surface formed substantially perpendicular to the front side surface 28a. The inclined recess 70 is formed to be a recess with respect to each of the front side surface 28a and the lower end surface 28c.

  Therefore, the inclined concave portion 70 has concave curved surface portions 72 that are curved surface portions that smoothly and continuously connect the front side surface 28 a and the lower end surface 28 c to the inclined surface 71 on both ends in the left-right direction of the inclined surface 71. A portion of the inclined recess 70 where the inclined surface 71 is formed has a shape such that a substantially right angle corner portion formed by the front side surface 28a and the lower end surface 28c in the panel portion 4 is partially chamfered in the left-right direction. For this reason, the concave curved surface portion 72 has a substantially right triangle shape with the inclined surface 71 as a hypotenuse in a side view (see FIG. 18).

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, in the panel portion 4 of the present embodiment, the front wall portion 28 that is substantially parallel to the wall surface W has a bent portion 28 d that is partially bent back in the left-right direction. As a result, the inclined surface 71 is formed. The bent portion 28 d is located below the enclosure 50 provided on the back side of the panel portion 4. Specifically, the height position of the starting portion where the bent portion 28d is bent with respect to the portion substantially parallel to the wall surface W in the front wall portion 28 is the height at which the bottom plate portion 51 of the enclosure portion 50 is provided in the panel portion 4. It almost coincides with the position. The front wall portion 28 narrows the gap with the back guard 9 (the front wall surface 9a thereof) by the amount of bending of the bent portion 28d at the back side in the inclined recess 70 portion.

  As described above, since the panel portion 4 has the inclined recess 70, for example, when cleaning the wall faucet 1, from the lower side of the front wall portion 28 toward the upper side on the back side of the wash bowl 8 by a shower or the like. For example, when water is poured, it is difficult for water to enter from between the front wall portion 28 of the panel portion 4 and the back guard 9 of the basin 5. That is, since the gap between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9 is narrowed by the inclined surface 71 of the inclined recess 70, the water spouted from the shower or the like when cleaning the wall faucet 1 It is possible to prevent water or the like splashed on the surface of the ball 8 from entering between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9 from below the front wall portion 28. Thereby, it can prevent that the back side surface 28b of the front wall part 28 of the panel part 4, the upper end part of the back guard 9, etc. get wet with water.

  In particular, in the configuration in which the panel portion 4 has the enclosure portion 50 as described above, the water captured by the enclosure portion 50 as described above is guided to the wash bowl 8 through the drain hole 56, and thus the front side of the back guard 9. It is necessary to provide a gap between the panel portion 4 (front wall portion 28). On the other hand, when such a gap between the back guard 9 and the front wall portion 28 is wide, water from the lower side of the panel portion 4 easily enters.

  Therefore, since the panel portion 4 has the inclined concave portion 70, the gap between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9 is narrowed, and the surrounding portion 50 is surrounded by the bent portion 28 d of the front wall portion 28 that forms the inclined surface 71. The water drain hole 56 is covered from below. In other words, since the panel portion 4 has the inclined concave portion 70, the drain hole 56 of the enclosure portion 50 cannot be directly seen from below the panel portion 4 through the space between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9. Thereby, even when water is poured from below during cleaning of the wall faucet 1, the drain hole 56, which is a drainage hole of the enclosure 50, between the front wall portion 28 and the back guard 9. Through this, it is possible to prevent water from entering the enclosure 50. On the other hand, a gap is secured between the tip of the bent portion 28 d constituting the inclined recess 70 and the front wall surface 9 a of the back guard 9. For this reason, the flow of water guided to the wash bowl 8 from the enclosure 50 through the drain hole 56 is not hindered.

  That is, since the panel portion 4 has the inclined recess 70, water entering from the lower side through the drain hole 56 is secured while a water discharge path from the enclosure portion 50 to the wash bowl 8 through the drain hole 56 is secured. Therefore, the back side portion of the panel portion 4 such as the back side surface 28b of the front wall portion 28 is not wetted.

  Further, the water applied to the front wall portion 28 of the panel portion 4 flows downward along the front side surface 28a and the like of the front wall portion 28, and once collected by surface tension at the lower end edge portion of the front wall portion 28, In some cases, the water moves in the left-right direction along the lower edge of the front wall 28. When such transfer water is generated, according to the panel unit 4 according to this embodiment, the transfer water can be dropped into the wash bowl 8 by having the inclined recess 70.

  Specifically, the water generated in the inclined concave portion 70 of the panel portion 4 reaches the concave curved surface portions 72 existing on both the left and right sides of the inclined surface 71 as a result of moving in the left-right direction. The water that has reached the concave curved surface portion 72 falls down along the concave curved surface portion 72 and is received by the wash bowl 8 (see FIG. 16, arrows H1 and H2).

  On the left and right sides of the inclined recess 70 formed at the middle portion in the left-right direction at the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 of the panel portion 4, the front wall portion 28 is a portion substantially parallel to the wall surface W and is a plane along the vertical direction. There is a part. That is, the concave curved surface portion 72 of the inclined concave portion 70 is a boundary portion between the portion forming the inclined surface 71 and the left and right planar portions in the left-right direction at the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28. Therefore, the concave curved surface portion 72 is a portion where the shape of the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 changes in the left-right direction.

  As described above, the concave curved surface portion 72 that forms the inclined concave portion 70 exists as a boundary portion where the shape of the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 changes in the left-right direction. The edge cutting effect that the flow can be interrupted is obtained. In other words, the water generated in the portion forming the inclined surface 71 in the inclined concave portion 70 reaches the concave curved surface portion 72 through the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28 in the left-right direction. Fall into.

  Temporarily, when there is no shape change about the left-right direction in the lower end part of the front wall part 28 of the panel part 4, the transmitted water which arose in the lower end part of the front wall part 28 is not edge-cut, but the left-right both ends of the front wall part 28 To fall. In this case, the water generated at the lower end of the front wall portion 28 may fall from the left and right outer sides of the wash bowl 8 to the floor without being caught by the wash bowl 8. Therefore, when the panel portion 4 has the inclined concave portion 70, an edge cutting effect is obtained at the concave curved surface portions 72 on both the left and right sides of the portion forming the inclined surface 71, and the transmitted water generated at the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28. Can be reliably dropped into the wash bowl 8.

  Note that the position and number of the inclined recesses 70 are not limited to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the inclined concave portion 70 is provided in the central portion in the left-right direction at the lower end portion of the front wall portion 28, but is not limited thereto, and the inclined concave portion 70 is formed in the left-right direction with respect to the front wall portion 28. What is necessary is just to be provided in the intermediate part except the both ends of right and left in a lower end part. Therefore, for example, the inclined recesses 70 may be provided at a plurality of locations at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction in the middle portion in the left-right direction of the front wall portion 28.

  As described above, the inclined recess 70 is a range including at least a portion where the drain hole 56 is provided in the left-right direction from the viewpoint of preventing water from entering through the drain hole 56 of the enclosure 50 from below. It is preferable to be provided. In addition, the inclined recess 70 is within a range in which at least the concave surface 8a of the wash ball 8 is formed in the left-right direction from the viewpoint of dropping the water generated at the lower end of the front wall portion 28 into the wash ball 8 as described above. It is preferable to be provided. In the present embodiment, the inclined recess 70 is provided, for example, in a range that substantially matches the range in which the surrounding portion 50 is provided in the left-right direction.
