Is rotated with respect to the clutch ring member 48, and the engaging protrusion 46b of the rotating ring member 46 is disposed next to the predetermined deep groove 38b of the cam groove forming member 38 which has been previously disengaged. Engage and move to 38a, the pilot valve 32 is adapted to be switched to the water stop position.

Next, the rotation operation unit 40 of the valve operation unit 34 includes a substantially cylindrical rotation operation member 20 that is rotatably attached to the outer periphery of the cam groove forming member 38.
As shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of inclined portions 20 a formed so as to protrude substantially spirally along the circumferential direction on the inner side of the rotation operation member 20 and on the end portion on the side of the opening / closing operation button 6 for currants. 20b.
In a state where the rotation operation member 20 is attached to the cam groove forming member 38, each of the inclined portions 20 a and 20 b of the rotation operation member 20 passes through the central hole 38 d of the cam groove formation member 38 and the clutch of the pressing operation unit 36. The inclined portions 48b and 48c of the ring member 48 are in contact with the inclined portions 48b and 48c, respectively, and the inclined portions 20a and 20b of the rotary operation member 20 and the inclined portions 48b and 48b of the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 according to the rotation angle of the rotary operation member 20. The relative position in the axial direction between the rotation operation member 20 and the clutch ring member 48 is changed by changing the mutual axial distance from the 48c.
That is, the inclined portions 20a and 20b of the rotational operation member 20 and the inclined portions 48b and 48c of the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 are caused by the rotational operation of the rotational operation member 20 when the pilot valve 32 is in the water discharge position. The rotary operation member 20 functions as a regulating means for regulating the amount of movement relative to the pressing operation unit 36 in the axial direction within a predetermined range.

Further, a protrusion 20c protruding in the inner circumferential direction from the outer periphery is provided at the end of the rotation operation member 20 on the pressure chamber forming member 28 side, and when the rotation operation member 20 rotates with respect to the cam groove forming member 38. The protrusion 20c of the rotation operation member 20 is in contact with the protrusion 38c formed on the outer periphery of the cam groove forming member 38 and extending in the axial direction, so that the rotation is restricted.
Further, the end portion of the rotary operation member 20 on the side of the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan is provided with a generally annular curan flow adjustment dial mounting portion 20d for attaching the inner peripheral portion of the flow adjustment dial 18 for the curan. Yes.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a flange 38e is provided at the end of the cam groove forming member 38 on the side of the opening / closing operation button 6 for currant.
In particular, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the pilot valve 32 is in the water stop position, the inclined portions 20 a and 20 b of the rotation operation member 20 and the inclined portions 48 b and 48 c of the clutch ring member 48 facing them are provided. Are in contact with each other, but the protrusion 20c of the rotation operation member 20 does not come into contact with the flange 38e of the cam groove forming member 38 regardless of the rotation operation of the currant flow adjustment dial 18. Therefore, when the water discharge device 1 is stopped, there is little wear due to mutual contact between the inclined portions 20a, 20b of the rotary operation member 20 and the inclined portions 48b, 48c of the clutch ring member 48, and the curling flow control dial 18 is relatively It can be operated with a small rotational operating force.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the pilot valve 32 is in the water discharge position, the inclined portions 20 a and 20 b of the rotation operation member 20 and the inclined portions 48 b and 48 c of the clutch ring member 48 facing them are provided. The protrusions 20c of the rotary operation member 20 are in contact with each other and the flange 38e of the cam groove forming member 38 is in contact with the pilot valve 32 shown in FIGS. Although a large rotational operation force is required at the time of rotating the curan flow adjustment dial 18, the water discharge state of the water discharge device 1 is temporary compared to the water stop state, regardless of the rotation angle of the curan flow adjustment dial 18. Since the rotational operation force is also substantially constant, it is possible to maintain good rotational operability of the currant flow adjustment dial 18.

The pilot valve 32 is connected to the end portion of the sliding member 42 of the pressing operation unit 36 connected to the end portion of the shaft 32a of the pilot valve 32 on the side of the open / close operation button 6 for the currant. A cap 50 for fixing to the sliding member 42 is attached.
Further, the rotation operation unit 40 of the valve operation unit 34 includes a compression coil spring 52 disposed between the cap 50 and the base end portion 20e of the currant flow adjustment dial mounting portion 20d of the rotation operation member 20, and includes a compression coil. The axial urging force that the spring 52 urges toward the rotation operation member 20 prevents axial rotation of the rotation operation member 20 with respect to the pressing operation unit 36, and according to the rotation angle of the rotation operation member 20, The position of the cap 50 in the axial direction is always positioned within the range between the base end portion 20e and the tip end portion 20f of the currant flow dial mounting portion 20d.

The main valve body 14a is formed with a bleed hole 14b through which hot water in the water passage 24b flows into the pressure chamber 26 and a pressure release hole 14c through which the hot water in the pressure chamber 26 flows into the water passage 24e.
A compression coil spring 32c is disposed between the shaft 32a of the pilot valve 32 and the valve portion 32b.
As shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the water discharge device 1 is stopped, the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 closes the pressure release hole 14c by the urging force generated by the compression coil spring 32c being compressed. The shaft 32a of the pilot valve 32 is urged toward the opening / closing operation button 6 for currant.

Below, the effect | action of the water discharging apparatus 1 by one Embodiment of this invention mentioned above is demonstrated.
First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, when the water discharge device 1 is in a water stop state and the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position, the diaphragm 30 is connected to the main valve of the valve body 24. The seat 24c is seated and the main valve seat 24c is closed.
That is, hot water that has flowed into the water passage 24b from the main body inlet 2a of the water discharger main body 2 through the valve inlet 24a flows into the pressure chamber 26 through the bleed hole 14b provided in the main valve body 14a. The diaphragm 30 and the main valve body 14a are pressed toward the main valve seat 24c by the pressure of the hot water in 26, and the main valve seat 24c is closed.
Further, the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 closes the pressure release hole 14c by the urging force of the compressed compression coil spring 32c.

At this time, the engaging protrusion 46b of the rotating ring member 46 is locked to the shallow groove 38a of the cam groove forming member 38, and the clutch tooth surface 46c of the rotating ring member 46 and the clutch tooth surface 48a of the clutch ring member 48 are Since they are engaged, the sliding member 42, the rotating ring member 46, and the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 are fixed without moving in the axial direction and the rotating direction.
Further, the striker projection 6g of the door member 6a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 passes through the striker projection insertion hole 18a of the curan flow control dial 18, and the tip of the striker projection 6g is a flow control valve unit for the curan. 14 is in contact with the front face of the cap 50 which is a part of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34.
At this time, the front surface of the door member 6 a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 is substantially flush with the counter surface of the counter plate 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the water discharge device 1 is in a water-stopping state and the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the minimum flow rate setting position, the user rotates the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8. When operated, only the currant flow adjustment dial 18 and the rotation operation member 20 rotate integrally with the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8.
At this time, the respective inclined portions 20a and 20b of the rotation operation member 20 pass through the central hole 38d of the cam groove forming member 38 and contact the respective inclined portions 48b and 48c of the clutch ring member 48 in a fixed state. The rotation operation member 20 moves in the axial direction toward the curan opening / closing operation button 6 with respect to the clutch ring member 48, and the curan flow adjustment dial 18 together with the rotation operation member 20 rotates. 6 moves in the axial direction.
However, since the sliding member 42, the rotating ring member 46, and the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 are fixed without moving in the axial direction and the rotating direction, the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 is also released from the pressure. The hole 14c remains closed, and the diaphragm 30 and the main valve body 14a also remain closed with the main valve seat 24c.

Here, even if the rotation operation member 20 moves in the axial direction toward the opening / closing operation button 6 for curaning as the curling flow adjustment dial 18 rotates, the striker protrusion of the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for curaning. Since the position of the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34 of the flow regulating valve unit 14 for currant 6g in contact with the axial direction has not moved in the axial direction, the water discharge device 1 shown in FIG. In addition, the front surface of the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan is substantially flush with the counter surface of the counter plate 4 as in the case where the curan flow control dial knob 8 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position. It has become.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, even if the flow control dial knob 8 is rotated while the water discharge device 1 is in the water-stopping state and the flow rate setting position is changed, Regardless of the rotation angle, the distance between the curan opening / closing operation button 6 and the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34 of the curan flow control valve unit 14 is constant.

Next, when the user presses the opening / closing operation button 6 for currants in a state where the water discharging device 1 shown in FIG. 5 is in a water-stopping state and the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the water discharge device 1 is switched to the water discharge state, and the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position.
At this time, by the pressing operation of the user, the door member 6a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 rotates around the rotating shaft member 6b and is pushed into the currant flow control valve unit 14 side, and the striker of the door member 6a The protrusion 6g presses the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operating unit 34 toward the currant flow control valve unit 14 side.
Then, the entire pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34 is pressed back.
Further, since the rotation operation member 20 of the rotation operation unit 40 of the valve operation unit 34 is pressed against the cap 50 side of the pressing operation unit 36 by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 52, the entire pressing operation unit 36 is currant. When pressed to the flow control valve unit 14 side, the rotary operation member 20 also moves to the main valve element 14a side in the axial direction together with the entire pressing operation unit 36. Accordingly, the curan flow adjustment dial 18 is also translated together with the rotary operation member 20 in the axial direction together with the curan flow adjustment valve unit 14 and pushed into the curan flow adjustment valve unit 14.

Further, when the sliding member 42, the rotating ring member 46, and the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 are also pushed into the main valve body 14a in the axial direction, the engaging protrusion 46b of the rotating ring member 46 and the cam groove forming member 38 are provided. , The rotation ring member 46 rotates by a predetermined angle, the engagement protrusion 46b of the rotation ring member 46 moves into the deep groove 38b of the cam groove forming member 38, and the compression coil spring 44 Due to the urging force, the sliding member 42 slides toward the curran opening / closing operation button 6 side.
As a result, the sliding member 42, the rotating ring member 46, and the clutch ring member 48 of the rotating operation member 20 and the pressing operation unit 36 are integrally moved toward the curran opening / closing operation button 6 in the axial direction.

  At this time, the shaft 32a of the pilot valve 32 also moves together with the sliding member 42 to the curran opening / closing operation button 6 side, so that the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 opens the pressure release hole 14c, and the hot water in the pressure chamber 26 flows. The pressure flows out from the pressure release hole 14c into the water passage 24e, and the pressure inside the pressure chamber 26 decreases. And the diaphragm 30 and the main valve body 14a leave | separate from the main valve seat 24c, and will be in the water discharge state.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the striker projection 6g of the door member 6a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 abuts on the front surface of the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34, and the door of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 The surface on the front side of the member 6 a is in a state of slightly protruding to the front side from the counter surface of the counter plate 4.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, when the water discharge device 1 is in a water discharge state and the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the minimum flow rate setting position, the user rotates the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8. Then, the currant flow control dial 18 and the rotation operation member 20 rotate integrally with the currant flow control dial knob 8.
At this time, the rotational operation member 20 does not move in the axial direction with respect to the clutch ring member 48, and the respective inclined portions 20a, 20b of the rotational operation member 20 and the respective inclined portions 48b, 48c of the clutch ring member 48 They rotate relative to each other in contact with each other. The inclined portions 48b and 48c of the clutch ring member 48 are rotated by the inclined portions 20a and 20b of the rotating operation member 20 in contact with the clutch ring member 48, and the clutch ring member 48 is axially connected to the main valve body 14a. Pushed into the side.

Further, when the clutch ring member 48 is pushed toward the axial main valve element 14a, the rotating ring member 46, the sliding member 42 and the cap 50 are also integrated with the clutch ring member 48 in the axial main valve element 14a. Pushed into the side.
At this time, the engaging protrusion 46 b of the rotating ring member 46 is located in the middle of the deep groove 38 b of the cam groove forming member 38.

  Further, since the shaft 32a of the pilot valve 32 also moves to the main valve body 14a side together with the sliding member 42, the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 is also applied to the curan flow shown in FIG. 7 by the urging force of the compression coil spring 32c. Compared to the case where the adjustment dial knob 8 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position, the pressure inside the pressure chamber 26 increases because the pressure release hole 14c is approached. Accordingly, the opening degree of the main valve body 14a is reduced as compared with the case where the diaphragm 30 and the main valve body 14a approach the main valve seat 24c and the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 shown in FIG. 7 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position. And the water discharge flow rate decreases.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the striker protrusion 6g of the door member 6a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 abuts compared to the case where the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 shown in FIG. 7 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position. Since the position of the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34 of the current control valve unit 14 for the curan is pushed toward the main valve body 14a in the axial direction, the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan The surface on the front side is slightly located on the back side as compared with the case where the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 shown in FIG. 7 is set to the maximum flow rate setting position.

When the user presses the curan opening / closing operation button 6 again, the entire pressing operation unit 36 including the cap 50 with which the striker projection 6g of the door member 6a of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 abuts is axially moved. The rotary operation member 20, the currant flow adjustment dial knob 8, and the currant flow adjustment dial 18 are also integrally pushed again into the axial main valve element 14a side.
As a result, the alignment between the engaging protrusion 46b of the rotating ring member 46 and the deep groove 38b of the cam groove forming member 38 is released, the rotating ring member 46 rotates by a predetermined angle, and the engaging protrusion 46b of the rotating ring member 46 becomes cam groove. Locked in the shallow groove 38a of the forming member 38. And again, the pilot valve 32 and the main valve body 14a are hold | maintained in the water stop position shown in FIG. That is, the valve portion 32b of the pilot valve 32 closes the pressure release hole 14c of the main valve body 14a, and the pressure in the pressure chamber 26 rises, so that the diaphragm 30 and the main valve body 14a are seated on the main valve seat 24c. It becomes a water stop state.

According to the water discharging device 1 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, when the pilot valve 32 is in the water stop position, the curling flow control dial knob 8, the currant flow control dial 18, and the rotation operation member 20 are used for the rotation operation. Regardless, when the pressing operation unit 36 of the curan flow control valve unit 14 is held in a predetermined position and the user presses the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan, the striker protrusion of the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan 6g can press the front of the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 held at a predetermined position.
Therefore, even if the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 is rotated without changing the axial position of the curan opening / closing operation button 6 to adjust the water discharge flow rate, for example, the water discharge device 1 is stopped. In the water state, the front surface of the door member 6a of the curran opening / closing operation button 6 is maintained substantially flush with the counter surface of the counter plate 4. Therefore, the surface on the front side of the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for currants and the surface on the front side of the door member 10a of the opening / closing operation button 10 for shower arranged adjacent to each other are flush with each other. It can also be combined.
Furthermore, when the water discharge device 1 is in a water-stopped state, the curan opening / closing operation button 6 and the shower opening / closing operation button 10 can be prevented from projecting to the front side from the counter surface of the counter plate 4, and the curan in the projecting state can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the unexpected opening of the opening / closing operation button 6 and the shower opening / closing operation button 10 to damage the curran opening / closing operation button 6 and the shower opening / closing operation button 10.

  Further, according to the water discharging device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the user presses the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan, the striker projection 6g of the door member 6a of the opening / closing operation button 6 for the curan causes the striker of the flow adjustment dial 18 for the curan. Through the protrusion insertion hole 18a, it can abut against the front face of the cap 50 of the pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operating unit 34 of the flow control valve unit 14 for currant and can be pressed directly. Therefore, the size of the valve operation unit 34 can be reduced, and the entire water discharge device 1 can be reduced in size. For example, when the pilot valve 32 is in the water stop position, even if a rotation operation by the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8, the currant flow adjustment dial 18 and the rotation operation member 20 is performed, the rotation operation is not affected. A reliable pressing operation can be realized.

  Furthermore, according to the water discharging apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, when the pilot valve 32 is at the water discharging position, the curan flow adjustment dial knob 8 and the curan flow adjustment dial 18 are rotated, and the curan flow adjustment valve unit 14 When the rotary operation member 20 of the valve operation unit 34 is rotated, the inclined portions 48b and 48c of the clutch ring member 48 of the pressing operation unit 36 correspond to each other by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 44 in a narrow space. The entire pressing operation unit 36 of the valve operation unit 34 can be moved relative to the rotation operation member 20 in the axial direction while being in contact with and pressed against the inclined portions 20a and 20b of the rotation operation member 20. The amount of movement of the valve 32 in the axial direction can be changed to adjust the opening degree of the pilot valve 32 to adjust the water discharge flow rate. Kill. Therefore, the size of the valve operation unit 34 and the pilot valve 32 can be reduced, and the entire water discharge device 1 can be reduced in size.

  In addition, in the water discharging apparatus 1 by this embodiment mentioned above, about the opening / closing operation button 6 for currants, the form where the door member 6a rotated around the rotating shaft member 6b by pressing operation was demonstrated. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form, and the door member 6a may be slid in the axial direction toward the currant flow control valve unit without rotating by a pressing operation.
