  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on preferred embodiments with appropriate reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a faucet device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the faucet device 2. The faucet device 2 is attached to a sink (not shown). In FIG.1 and FIG.2, description of the part which is not visually recognized, ie, the part in the inside of a sink, is abbreviate | omitted. In addition, as a setting place of the faucet device 2, a sink and a bathroom are illustrated in addition to a sink.

  Although not shown, the faucet device having the faucet device 2 has a hot water introduction pipe and a water introduction pipe. For example, the hot water introduction pipe is connected to a pipe extending from the water heater. For example, the water introduction pipe is connected to the water supply pipe without passing through the water heater.

  The faucet device 2 includes a main body portion 4, a lever handle 6, and a discharge portion 8. The faucet device 2 is a so-called single lever faucet. The temperature of the discharged water can be adjusted by turning the lever handle 6 left and right. The amount of water discharged can be adjusted by turning the lever handle 6 up and down. A valve mechanism that allows temperature adjustment and water discharge adjustment is incorporated in the main body 4. This valve mechanism is known.

  In the faucet device 2, the discharge part 8 is fixed to the main body part 4, but other forms are possible. For example, the shower 8 may be a detachable shower head with respect to the main body 4.

  Although not shown, heated hot water is introduced into the hot water introduction pipe. Heating is performed by a water heater. Unheated water is introduced into the water introduction pipe. The mixing ratio of hot water and water is adjusted by the valve mechanism. By this mixing ratio, temperature control of the water discharge is achieved. Hereinafter, heated hot water, unheated water, and a mixed liquid thereof are also simply referred to as “water”.

  The discharge unit 8 includes a water guide unit 10, a switching unit 12, a button member 14, a water shape adjustment unit 16, and a discharge port 18. In the present embodiment, the button member 14 is a push button.

  The discharge part 8 has two flow paths. From the viewpoint of clarifying the distinction between these two flow paths, the names of the flow paths A and B are used in the present application. In the faucet device 2, the channel A is a raw water channel, and the channel B is a purified water channel. However, the role of each flow path is not limited. For example, the channel A may be a purified water channel and the channel B may be a raw water channel. For example, warm water and cold water may be switched by two flow paths. Moreover, the discharge part 8 may have three or more flow paths.

  In the present application, the terms “water discharge Wa” and “water discharge Wb” are used from the viewpoint of clarifying the distinction of water discharge. The water discharge Wa is water from the flow path A. The discharged water Wb is water from the flow path B. In the faucet device 2, the discharged water Wa is raw water, and the discharged water Wb is purified water.

  The discharge unit 8 includes a cover member 20 and a switching mechanism. Details of the switching mechanism will be described later.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the button member 14 and the cover member 20. The button member 14 has a pressing surface 22 and a side surface portion 24. The pressing surface 22 is a flat surface. The pressing surface 22 is circular. The shape of the pressing surface 22 is not limited. The cover member 20 covers at least a part of the side surface portion 24. The cover member 20 is combined with a second cover member 21 (described later).

  The button member 14 functions as a switching button. When switching the flow path, the pressing surface 22 is pressed. Every time the button member 14 is pressed, switching between the flow path A and the flow path B is performed. As will be described later, the switching mechanism has an alternate operation type push button mechanism. The push button mechanism of the button member 14 is realized by this push button mechanism. Each time the pressing operation is performed, the button member 14 moves to the first position P1 and the second position P2.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cover member 20 has a front portion 30. The button member 14 is inserted into the front portion 30. The button member 14 can move inside the front portion 30. The front part 30 covers at least a part of the side part 24. The front part 30 is cylindrical. The inner surface shape of the front portion 30 corresponds to the shape of the side surface portion 24. Since the gap between the side surface portion 24 and the front portion 30 is small, intrusion of water or the like is suppressed.

  The cover member 20 has a display window wd1. As shown in a sectional view to be described later, the display window wd1 is an opening. The display window wd <b> 1 is provided in the front part 30. A transparent member t1 is installed in the display window wd1. The transparent member t1 closes the display window wd1.

  When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the front portion 30 (the cover member 20) covers the second appearance portion c2. On the other hand, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the front portion 30 (the cover member 20) does not cover the first appearance portion c1. This is because the first appearance portion c1 is located inside the display window wd1 (opening). When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the front portion 30 (the cover member 20) covers the first appearance portion c1. On the other hand, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the front portion 30 (the cover member 20) does not cover the second appearance portion c2. This is because the second appearance portion c2 is located inside the display window wd1 (opening). When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the second appearance portion c2 is not visually recognized from the outside. When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the second appearance portion c2 is not visually recognized from the display window wd1. When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the first appearance portion c1 is not visually recognized from the outside. When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the first appearance portion c1 is not visually recognized from the display window wd1.

  Regardless of the position of the button member 14, the cover member 20 or the transparent member t1 covers the first appearance portion c1 and the second appearance portion c2.

  The transparency of the transparent member t1 is not limited. For example, the transparent member t1 may be translucent. The transparent member t1 may be colored.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the button member 14 has a display part h1. The display part h <b> 1 is a part of the side part 24. The display unit h1 includes a first appearance part c1 and a second appearance part c2. The first appearance part c <b> 1 is a part of the side part 24. The second appearance part c <b> 2 is a part of the side part 24. The X direction position of the first appearance part c1 is different from the X direction position of the second appearance part c2. The appearances of the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2 are different. In the present embodiment, the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2 are different in color. In the present embodiment, the first appearance part c1 is black and the second appearance part c2 is blue. Blue can give the user a “clean water” image.

  In the present embodiment, the first appearance part c <b> 1 is a part of the main body part of the button member 14. On the other hand, the second appearance portion c <b> 2 is a separate body from the main body portion of the button member 14. A separately-formed second appearance portion c <b> 2 is attached to the main body of the button member 14. The second appearance part c2 is an annular member.

  By making the 1st appearance part c1 and the 2nd appearance part c2 into a different body, the color of both materials can be made different. Therefore, even if the surface of the display unit h1 is worn by the reciprocating movement of the button member 14, the color difference is maintained. Therefore, the difference in appearance can be maintained for a long time.

The first appearance portion c1 is not exposed to the outside at any movable position of the button member 14.
The second appearance portion c2 is not exposed to the outside at any movable position of the button member 14. In the pressing operation, the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2 are not touched. Therefore, the adhesion of dirt to the appearance portions c1 and c2 is prevented.

  FIG. 4 is a front view of the vicinity of the button member 14. FIG. 5 is a view in which the cover member 20 is removed from FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a view in which the button member 14 is removed from FIG.

  The water shape adjusting unit 16 can change the shape of the discharged water. The water shape adjustment unit 16 has an adjustment lever 26. By operating the adjustment lever 26, the water shape can be changed. By operating the adjusting lever 26, a shower water shape, a straight water shape, and an intermediate water shape can be selected.

  FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the discharge unit 8. FIG. 8 is a side view of the discharge unit 8. FIG. 9 is a side view in which the cover members 20 and 21 are removed from FIG. FIG. 10 is a side view in which the button member 14 is removed from FIG. FIG. 11 is a plan view of the discharge unit 8. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the discharge unit 8. FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the discharge unit 8. In FIG. 13, the description of the water shape adjustment unit 16 is omitted. FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view in which a part of FIG. 13 is enlarged.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the discharge unit 8 includes a button member 14, a cover member 20, a second cover member 21, a push button mechanism 34, and a case 35.

  The push button mechanism 34 includes a first switching top 36, a second switching top 38, a switching ring 40, a switching shaft 42, a coil spring 44, a switching cover 46 and an O-ring 48. The switching shaft 42 includes a push rod 50 and a button holding unit 52. The switching cover 46 has a back side bottom portion 56 and a slit 58. The switching ring 40 is fixed to the front side of the switching cover 46. The switching shaft 42 is guided by the slit 58 and moves in and out in a predetermined direction. This direction of exit and withdrawal is also referred to as direction X in the present application. The second switching top 38 moves in and out with the switching shaft 42. In conjunction with the pressing operation of the button member 14, the second switching top 38 and the switching shaft 42 move back and forth (reciprocating) in the direction X. A push rod 50 is inserted into the coil spring 44. The coil spring 44 is positioned between the back side bottom portion 56 of the switching cover 46 and the base portion of the switching shaft 42 and biases them in a direction away from each other. The first switching top 36 rotates every time the button is pressed, and can be held at two different positions. The push button mechanism 34 realizes an alternate operation.

  In the present application, the terms “front” and “back” are used. “Front” and “rear” are directions along the direction X. “Backward” is a direction toward the far side in the direction X. Therefore, in the above embodiment, the pressing force perpendicular to the pressing surface 22 is directed rearward. The front is the direction opposite to the rear.

  A thrust lock mechanism is used for the push button mechanism 34. This thrust lock mechanism is widely used as a button mechanism. The thrust lock mechanism is also used in, for example, a ballpoint pen, and allows the ballpoint pen core to be inserted and removed. Japanese Patent No. 3454756 also employs this thrust lock mechanism. The push button mechanism 34 of this embodiment is the same as the mechanism described in Japanese Patent No. 3454756.

  In general, heart-shaped cam mechanisms, rotary cam mechanisms, ratchet cam mechanisms, and the like are known as so-called alternate operation type push button mechanisms. All of these mechanisms are known. Any of these mechanisms can be employed as the push button mechanism 34. Any button mechanism that allows an alternate operation method may be employed.

  The alternate operation of the push button mechanism 34 is as follows. When the button member 14 at the first position P1 is pressed, the button member 14 moves to the second position P2. Unless the pressing force is applied again, the position P2 is maintained. Next, when the button member 14 at the position P2 is pressed, the button member 14 returns to the position P1. Unless the pressing force is applied again, the position P1 is maintained. For each pressing operation, the position P1 and the position P2 are switched. The position in the direction X is different between the position P1 and the position P2.

  In the present embodiment, the position P1 is also referred to as a protruding position. In this protruding position, the button member 14 is positioned in front of the position P2. In the present embodiment, the position P2 is also referred to as a regression position. In this retreat position, the button member 14 is located behind the position P1. 1, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show the button member 14 in the first position P1. On the other hand, FIG. 2 shows the button member 14 in the second position P2.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the water guide section 10 includes an outer cover 60 and an inner cylinder 62. The inner cylinder 62 has a water inlet 64 and a joint portion 66. The joint portion 66 is joined to the case 35 in a watertight manner.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the water guide unit 10 includes a water purification unit 68. The water purification part 68 of this embodiment is a replaceable water purification cartridge. The water purification cartridge 68 includes a water purification flow path 70B, a water quality purification unit 72, and caps 74 disposed at the upstream and downstream ends. The water purification unit 72 includes a water purification material 72a, an outer filtration layer 72b, and an inner filtration layer 72c. The water purification material 72a has activated carbon as a main component. For example, a nonwoven fabric is used for the outer filtration layer 72b and the inner filtration layer 72c. A ceramic having a sterilizing action may be employed for the outer filtration layer 72b and / or the inner filtration layer 72c. An ion exchanger may be employed for the outer filtration layer 72b and / or the inner filtration layer 72c. The outer filtration layer 72b may be a plurality of layers. The inner filtration layer 72c may be a plurality of layers. The purified water flow path 70B is an example of the flow path B. In FIG. 13, the water purification cartridge 68 is not shown.

  A raw water channel 76 </ b> A is formed outside the water purification cartridge 68. The raw water flow path 76A is an example of the flow path A.

  When in the raw water discharge state, the raw water that has passed through the raw water flow path 76A is discharged from the discharge port 18 via the switching mechanism. On the other hand, when in the purified water discharge state, the purified water that has passed through the purified water flow path 70B passes through the filter 78, reaches the switching mechanism, and is discharged from the discharge port 18 via this switching mechanism.

  When in the purified water discharge state, the raw water introduced from the water inlet 64 passes through the water purification unit 72 and reaches the purified water flow path 70B to become purified water. More specifically, the raw water passes through the outer filtration layer 72b, the water purification material 72a, and the inner filtration layer 72c and reaches the purified water flow path 70B.

  In the purified water discharge state, foreign matter or the like adheres to the outer filtration layer 72b. However, the foreign matter or the like can be discharged together with the raw water in the raw water discharge state. Therefore, clogging of the water purification cartridge 68 is suppressed, and the water purification performance of the water purification cartridge 68 is maintained for a long time.

  15 to 17 are cross-sectional views of the vicinity of the switching mechanism 100 of the discharge unit 8. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view when the button member 14 is in the first position P1. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view when the button member 14 is in the second position P2. FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view when the button member 14 is in the third position P3. As described above, the push button mechanism 34 causes the button member 14 to alternately switch between the first position P1 and the second position P2 for each pressing operation. The third position P3 is behind the second position P2. The third position P3 is a position where the button member 14 is pushed in most, and can occur only during operation. In the mutual transition between the first position P1 and the second position P2, the third position P3 is routed. However, the positions held by the push button mechanism 34 are only the first position P1 and the second position P2.

  The discharge unit 8 includes a switching mechanism 100 that can switch between the water discharge Wa from the flow path A and the water discharge Wb from the flow path B. The switching of water discharge by the switching mechanism 100 is alternative. The switching mechanism 100 includes the above-described button member 14, the first valve 101, the second valve 102, and the third valve 103. The water discharge is switched by opening and closing the three valves. Two or less valves may be provided. From the viewpoint of water discharge diversity, the number of valves is preferably 3 or more. Considering miniaturization and cost, the number of valves is preferably 2 or 3, and most preferably 3.

  In the present embodiment, the first valve 101 includes a valve seat 101a and a first valve body 101b (see FIG. 14). The first valve 101 is a ball valve. The first valve body 101b is a ball. The valve seat 101a is an annular member. The valve seat 101a has a through hole h1 (see FIG. 15). The valve seat 101a is made of an elastic material. The valve seat 101 a is mounted in the through hole 108 of the valve seat mounting portion 106. The ball 101b is held by a ball holder 101c. The ball holder 101c is opened downward. An elastic body 101d is disposed between the upper part of the ball holder 101c and the first valve body 101b. The elastic body 101d is a coil spring. The first valve body 101b is always urged toward the valve seat 101a by the elastic body 101d. Inside the case 35, a space that allows the movement of the ball holder 101c in the direction X is secured.

  A connection portion 50j is provided behind the push rod 50. The connecting portion 50j is connected to the front connecting portion j1 (see FIGS. 12 and 14) of the ball holder 101c. Therefore, the ball holder 101 c moves in the direction X in conjunction with the push rod 50. In other words, the ball holder 101 c moves in the direction X in conjunction with the button member 14. As the ball holder 101c moves, the first valve body 101b (ball) also moves in the direction X.

  When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the center of the ball 101b is located on the central axis of the through hole h1 of the valve seat 101a. For this reason, the ball 101b moves in the direction Y (FIG. 16) by the urging force and gravity on the elastic body 101d, and fits into the through hole h1 (see FIG. 16). The inner diameter of the through hole h1 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 101b. By this fitting, the through hole h1 is blocked by the ball 101b, and the first valve 101 is closed. On the other hand, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the center of the ball 101b is displaced from the central axis of the through hole h1. For this reason, the ball 101b cannot fit into the through hole h1. Therefore, the through hole h1 is not blocked. Thus, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the first valve 101 is open (see FIG. 15). The direction Y is perpendicular to the direction X. A configuration in which the ball 101b closes the through hole h1 only by gravity without using the elastic body 101d may be employed.

  The case 35 has a second valve body valve hole h2 and a third valve body valve hole h3. In the case 35, the shaft member 110 moves along the center line Z1. As the shaft member 110 moves, the second valve 102 opens and closes. At the same time, the third valve 103 is opened and closed by the movement of the shaft member 110. When the second valve 102 is closed, the third valve 103 is open.

  When the button member 14 is in the third position P3, the first valve 101 is open, the second valve 102 is open, and the third valve 103 is closed. The third valve 103 is closed regardless of the position of the button member 14 from the second position P2 to the third position P3. Therefore, the effect (effect A) in which useless discharge of the purified water (water discharge Wb) is prevented can occur. In a normal pressing operation, the button member 14 is in the third position P3 for a short time. However, considering that the third position P3 is generated each time the button member 14 is pressed, the effect A is significant. Moreover, even if the button member 14 exists in any position from the 2nd position P2 to the 3rd position P3, since the 3rd valve | bulb 103 is closed, mixing with purified water and raw | natural water is suppressed.

  The switching mechanism 100 has a shaft member 110. As shown in FIG. 14, the shaft member 110 includes a second valve body mounting portion 110a, an inclined surface portion 110b, a small diameter portion 110c, a third valve body mounting portion 110d, a rear end portion 110e, and a connection portion 110j.

  The shaft member 110 is disposed coaxially with the second switching top 38. The shaft member 110 is arranged coaxially with the push rod 50. The connecting portion 110j is connected to the rear connecting portion j2 (see FIGS. 12 and 14) of the ball holder 101c. Therefore, the shaft member 110 moves in the direction X in conjunction with the ball holder 101c. The shaft member 110 can move in the direction X in conjunction with the button member 14.

  The switching mechanism 100 has a second valve body 112. As shown in FIG. 14, in the present embodiment, the second valve body 112 is an O-ring. The second valve body 112 is fitted into the second valve body mounting portion 110a. The second valve body mounting portion 110a forms a circumferential groove, and the second valve body 112 is fitted into the circumferential groove.

  The switching mechanism 100 has a third valve body 113. As FIG. 14 shows, in this embodiment, the 3rd valve body 113 is U packing. The third valve body 113 is fitted into the third valve body mounting portion 110d. The third valve body mounting portion 110d forms a circumferential groove, and the third valve body 113 is fitted into the circumferential groove.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the second valve body valve hole h <b> 2 has a contact surface h <b> 21 that can contact the second valve body 112. This contact surface h21 is a slope. The contact surface h21 is a conical concave surface. The rear end portion 110e of the shaft member 110 cannot pass through the second valve element valve hole h2. Therefore, the second valve 102 has an effect of preventing the shaft member 110 from moving forward beyond a predetermined position. Each valve 101, 102, and 103 opens and closes in conjunction with the shaft member 110. The retaining effect contributes to stable operation of each valve.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the case 35 has a third valve body valve hole h3. The third valve body valve hole h3 has a contact surface h31 that can contact the third valve body 113. The third valve element valve hole h3 is a through hole having a circular cross section and a constant inner diameter. The third valve body valve hole h <b> 3 is coaxial with the shaft member 110.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1 (projecting position), the second valve body 112 contacts the contact surface h21. The second valve 102 is closed by this contact. On the other hand, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the third valve body 113 does not contact the contact surface h31, and water can flow through the third valve body valve hole h3. That is, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the third valve 103 is open.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2 (retreat position), the third valve body 113 contacts the contact surface h31. The third valve 103 is closed by this contact. On the other hand, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the second valve element 112 does not contact the contact surface h21, and water can flow through the valve hole h2 for the second valve element. That is, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the second valve 102 is open.

  In the present embodiment, the plurality of valves are of different types. The first valve 101 is a ball valve. The second valve 102 is a combination of a slope that is a conical concave surface and an annular packing (O-ring) that is attached to the conical convex surface. The third valve 103 is a combination of the inner surface of the through hole and a packing (U packing) that can be reduced in diameter so as to contact the inner surface of the through hole.

  In the present embodiment, the first valve 101 is located behind the button member 14. The second valve 102 is located behind the first valve 101. This tandem arrangement eliminates the need for a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force. In addition, the operating force is transmitted smoothly. Therefore, a highly reliable switching mechanism 100 is realized. Moreover, the switching unit 12 can be reduced in size (slimmed) by this vertical arrangement. Therefore, the design freedom of the switching unit 12 is increased. The faucet device 2 is excellent in functionality and design.

  The third valve 103 is located behind the first valve 101. The third valve 103 is located in front of the second valve 102. The third valve 103 is located between the first valve 101 and the second valve 102. This tandem arrangement eliminates the need for a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force. In addition, the operating force is transmitted smoothly. Further, the valves can be stably linked with each other. Therefore, a highly reliable switching mechanism 100 is realized. Moreover, the switching unit 12 can be reduced in size (slimmed) by this vertical arrangement.

  In the present embodiment, the first valve body 101 b is located behind the button member 14. The second valve body 112 is located behind the first valve body 101b. This tandem arrangement eliminates the need for a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force. In addition, the operating force is transmitted smoothly. Further, the valve bodies can be linked stably. Therefore, a highly reliable switching mechanism 100 is realized. Moreover, the switching unit 12 can be reduced in size (slimmed) by this vertical arrangement.

  The third valve body 113 is located behind the first valve body 101b. The third valve body 113 is located in front of the second valve body 112. The third valve body 113 is located between the first valve body 101b and the second valve body 112. This tandem arrangement eliminates the need for a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force. In addition, the operating force is transmitted smoothly. Further, the valve bodies can be linked stably. Therefore, a highly reliable switching mechanism 100 is realized. Moreover, the switching unit 12 can be reduced in size (slimmed) by this vertical arrangement.

  In the discharge unit 8, the button member 14, the push rod 50, the first valve body 101b, and the shaft member 110 are arranged in series. This series direction is parallel to the direction X. The second valve body 112 and the third valve body 113 are attached to the shaft member 110. Therefore, the transmission of the pressing force is smooth, and the interlocking of these members is reliably achieved.

  As described above, the push button mechanism 34 has the push rod 50. A push rod 50 is located behind the button member 14. The first valve body 101 b is located behind the push rod 50. The shaft member 110 is located behind the first valve body 101b. Therefore, the pressing force of the button member 14 is smoothly transmitted to the first valve body 101 b and the shaft member 110 via the push rod 50. A mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force is unnecessary.

  In the switching mechanism 100, the first valve 101 is located behind the button member 14. A third valve 103 is located behind the first valve 101. The second valve 102 is located behind the third valve 103. By this tandem arrangement, the discharge unit 8 can be reduced in size and slim. Moreover, the pressing force applied to the button member 14 is smoothly transmitted to the first valve 101, the second valve 102, and the third valve 103 by this vertical arrangement. Therefore, the opening / closing operation of each valve is stable.

  A center line Z1 of the shaft member 110 is parallel to the direction X. The center line of the push rod 50 is parallel to the direction X. Further, the push rod 50 is located behind the button member 14, and the shaft member 110 is located behind the push rod 50. Therefore, the pressing force applied in the direction X can be efficiently transmitted to each valve. Further, a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force may be unnecessary.

  A center line Z <b> 1 of the shaft member 110 coincides with the center line of the push rod 50. Further, the center line Z1 of the shaft member 110 coincides with the center line of the button member 14. The button member 14 and the push rod 50 are coaxial. Further, the button member 14 and the shaft member 110 are coaxial. Therefore, the operating force applied to the button member 14 is transmitted to the push rod 50 and the shaft member 110 efficiently and smoothly.

  The push rod 50, the coil spring 44, and the shaft member 110 are arranged coaxially. The shaft member 110 and the second valve body 112 are coaxial. Furthermore, the shaft member 110 and the third valve body 113 are coaxial. Except for the state where the first valve 101 is closed, the first valve body 101b (ball) is also arranged coaxially with the shaft member 110 and the like. Therefore, the operation force can be transmitted smoothly. In addition, the switching mechanism 100 with a simple mechanism and high reliability is realized.

  As described above, the open / close state of each valve differs depending on the position of the button member 14. In the present application, an open / close state V1 and an open / close state V2 are defined as the open / close state.

  In the present application, a state where the first valve 101 is open and the second valve 102 is closed is referred to as an open / close state V1. FIG. 15 shows the open / close state V1. In the open / closed state V <b> 1, raw water (water discharge Wa) is discharged from the discharge port 18. Thus, when the button member 14 is in the position P1, the switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V1, and in this open / close state V1, the raw water is discharged from the discharge port 18. Thus, the open / close state V1 is a raw water discharge state. This raw water discharge state is an example of a first discharge state.

  In FIG. 15, what is indicated by an alternate long and short dash line is the flow path of the raw water (water discharge Wa). The raw water from the raw water flow path 76A described above passes through the first valve 101 (through hole h1) and reaches the discharge port 18. The flow path from the raw water flow path 76A through the first valve 101 to the discharge port 18 is an example of the flow path A in the present application.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the channel A has a branch channel A <b> 1 that passes through the third valve 103. The water that has passed through the branch channel A <b> 1 merges with the water that has passed through the first valve 101 and is discharged from the discharge port 18. In the present embodiment, the branch channel A1 is a raw water channel.

  On the other hand, in this application, the state in which the first valve 101 is closed and the second valve 102 is open is referred to as an open / close state V2. FIG. 16 shows the open / close state V2. In this open / closed state V <b> 2, purified water (water discharge Wb) is discharged from the discharge port 18. Thus, when the button member 14 is in the position P2, the switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V2, and the clean water is discharged from the discharge port 18 in the open / close state V2. Thus, the open / close state V2 is a purified water discharge state. This purified water discharge state is an example of a second discharge state.

  In FIG. 16, a thin solid line arrow indicates a flow path of purified water (water discharge Wb). The purified water from the purified water flow path 70B described above passes through the second valve 102 (second valve body valve hole h2) and reaches the discharge port 18. The flow path from the purified water flow path 70B through the second valve 102 to the discharge port 18 is an example of the flow path B in the present application.

  The discharge unit 8 has a common flow path C in which the flow path A and the flow path B are common. The common flow path C is indicated by reference numeral 120C in FIG. The common flow path C is located on the downstream side of the switching mechanism 100. The common flow path C contributes to the downsizing of the discharge unit 8.

  As described above, when the third valve 103 is opened, the branch flow path A1 branched from the flow path A is formed. In the present application, the state where the first valve 101 is open, the second valve 102 is closed, and the third valve 103 is open is also referred to as an open / close state V10. When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V10. In the open / close state V10, raw water (water discharge Wa) is discharged from the discharge port 18. The open / close state V10 is an example of an open / close state V1. The open / close state V10 is a raw water discharge state, and is an example of a first discharge state.

  In the present application, the state in which the first valve 101 is closed, the second valve 102 is open, and the third valve 103 is closed is also referred to as an open / close state V20. When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V20. In this open / closed state V20, purified water (water discharge Wb) is discharged from the discharge port 18. The open / close state V20 is an example of an open / close state V2. The open / close state V20 is a purified water discharge state, and is an example of a second discharge state.

  The first discharge state or the second discharge state may be a water stop state.

  From the above, the specification of switching by the switching mechanism 100 is as follows.

[First position P1: See FIG. 15]
The specifications when the button member 14 is in the first position P1 are the following (a1) to (j1).
(A1) Channel A is selected.
(B1) Raw water (water discharge Wa) is discharged.
(C1) The switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V1.
(D1) The switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V10.
(E1) The first valve 101 is open.
(F1) The second valve 102 is closed.
(G1) The third valve 103 is open.
(H1) The button member 14 is in the protruding position.
(I1) A branch channel A1 is formed.
(J1) The discharge state is the first discharge state.

[Second position P2: See FIG. 16]
The specifications when the button member 14 is in the second position P2 are the following (a2) to (i2).
(A2) Channel B is selected.
(B2) Purified water (water discharge Wb) is discharged.
(C2) The switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V2.
(D2) The switching mechanism 100 is in the open / close state V20.
(E2) The first valve 101 is closed.
(F2) The second valve 102 is open.
(G2) The third valve 103 is closed.
(H2) The button member 14 is in the retracted position.
(I2) The discharge state is a second discharge state.

  In the present embodiment, the first valve body 101b (ball) and the second valve body 112 (O-ring) are located on a single straight line Lx parallel to the direction X. That is, the single straight line Lx crosses the first valve body 101b and the second valve body 112. Here, “crossing the valve body” includes a case of passing through a space inside the valve body (such as a cavity inside the O-ring). The single straight line Lx can be arbitrarily selected. In FIG. 16, the center line Z1 of the shaft member 110 is selected as a single straight line Lx. However, the straight line Lx is not limited as long as it is parallel to the direction X. The single straight line Lx may be the center line Z1 or a line other than the center line Z1. From the viewpoint of the transmission efficiency of the operating force, the single straight line Lx is preferably the center line Z1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the second valve body 112 is attached to the shaft member 110. The center line Z1 (see FIG. 16) of the shaft member 110 passes through the first valve body 101b (ball) at any movable position and the button member 14 at any movable position. That is, the center line Z1 passes through the ball 101b and the button member 14 at any position in the movable range. “Passing” includes not only the case of crossing but also the case of passing through an inner space (such as the inner side of an annular body).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the second valve body 112 and the third valve body 113 are mounted on the common shaft member 110. In the present embodiment, the second valve 102 is a shaft valve, and the third valve 103 is a shaft valve. A shaft valve is a valve that opens and closes by movement of a shaft member. A preferred shaft valve satisfies the following requirements (1) to (4).
(1) The valve body is attached to the shaft member.
(2) This shaft member is inserted through the hole.
(3) The movement of the shaft member causes the valve body and the inner surface of the hole to be separated from each other.
(4) Opening and closing of the valve is achieved by this separation / connection.

  In the faucet device 2, since the first valve body 101b and the second valve body 112 are located on the single straight line Lx, the switching unit 12 can be reduced in size. Further, in the faucet device 2, the center line Z1 of the shaft member 110 intersects the first valve body 101b at every position and the button member 14 at every position. By this arrangement, the vicinity of the button member 14 and the switching unit 12 can be further reduced in size.

  In the faucet device 2, the button member 14, the first valve body 101b, and the second valve body 112 are located on a single straight line Lx. The single straight line Lx is parallel to the moving direction of the button member 14. That is, this single straight line Lx is parallel to the pressing direction. Therefore, the operating force applied to the button member 14 is smoothly transmitted to the first valve body 101b and the second valve body 112. The link between the button member 14 and the first valve body 101b is smooth, and the link between the button member 14 and the second valve body 112 is also smooth. These interlocking mechanisms do not include a mechanism for changing the direction of the operating force. Therefore, stable interlocking can be achieved with a simple mechanism. By simplifying the mechanism, high durability is achieved, and operability and reliability are increased.

  Further, the third valve body 113 is also located on the single straight line Lx. Therefore, the operating force applied to the button member 14 is smoothly transmitted to the third valve body 113. Therefore, in the switching mechanism 100 having three valves, the simplification of the mechanism is achieved, and the durability, operability, and reliability are excellent.

  The coil spring 44 is located on a single straight line Lx. That is, the single straight line Lx passes through the coil spring 44 or the inside thereof. Further, the coil spring 44 is coaxial with the axis Z1. Further, the expansion / contraction direction of the coil spring 44 coincides with the direction X. Therefore, the operating force is efficiently transmitted to the coil spring 44 and transmission loss is small. The operation of the push button mechanism 34 is stable.

  The second valve body 112 and the third valve body 113 are disposed on the common shaft member 110. Therefore, two valves can be formed compactly. Further, since the common shaft member 110 is used, the movement of the second valve body 112 and the movement of the third valve body 113 are reliable. Therefore, the opening and closing of the second valve 102 and the opening and closing of the third valve 103 are reliably linked. For this reason, the highly reliable switching mechanism 100 can be realized. Further, by mounting the two valve bodies on the common shaft member 110, the number of parts is reduced, the assembly efficiency is increased, and the productivity is improved.

  As described above, at the first position P1, the water discharge Wa passes through the two valves (the first valve 101 and the third valve 103). Further, the branch flow path A1 is formed at the first position P1. For this reason, the flow volume of discharged water Wa can be enlarged, without enlarging an apparatus. When the water discharge Wa is raw water as in the above embodiment, the flow rate of the raw water can be increased. Therefore, for example, a sufficient flow rate can be ensured in applications where raw water is used (such as washing applications such as dishwashing). In the present embodiment, the flow rate of the discharged water Wa can be made larger than the flow rate of the discharged water Wb. Therefore, the diversity of water discharge increases and the faucet device 2 excellent in convenience can be realized.

  As the material of the switching shaft 42, resin is preferable. Examples of preferable resins include polyoxymethylene (POM), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS), and polypropylene (PP). From the viewpoint of heat resistance, polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) are more preferable. Further, from the viewpoint of improving the positional accuracy of the first valve body 101b (ball) or the like, the switching shaft 42 is preferably highly elastic. From this viewpoint, the material of the switching shaft 42 is more preferably polyoxymethylene (POM). In the above embodiment, polyoxymethylene (POM) was used.

  Examples of the material of the ball (first valve body 101b) include stainless steel, polycarbonate resin (PC), and brass. In order to close the first valve 101 reliably, it is better that the weight of the ball is larger. From this viewpoint, stainless steel or brass is preferable, and stainless steel is more preferable in consideration of corrosion resistance.

  The U packing is a lip packing having a substantially U-shaped section. U-packing has good sealing properties and low sliding resistance. Examples of the material of the U packing include rubber and elastomer. Examples of the rubber include NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), fluorine rubber, and silicon rubber. From the viewpoint of cost and chlorine resistance, and from the viewpoint of low compression set, EPDM and fluororubber are preferable, and EPDM is more preferable in view of cost.

  Examples of the material of the O-ring include rubber and elastomer. Preferred examples of the rubber include NBR, EPDM, fluorine rubber, and silicon rubber. From the viewpoint of cost and chlorine resistance, and from the viewpoint of low compression set, EPDM and fluororubber are more preferable, and EPDM is more preferable in consideration of cost.

  18A and 18B are sectional views showing the positional relationship between the button member 14 and the cover member 20. In FIG. 18A, the button member 14 is in the first position P1. In FIG. 18B, the button member 14 is in the second position P2.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the first appearance portion c1 is in a position where it can be viewed from the display window wd1. When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the second appearance portion c2 is in a position where it cannot be visually recognized from the display window wd1.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the second appearance portion c2 is in a position that can be viewed from the display window wd1. When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the first appearance portion c1 is in a position where it cannot be visually recognized from the display window wd1.

  As described above, the first appearance portion c1 and the second appearance portion c2 have different appearances. Therefore, the appearance of the display unit h1 from the display window wd1 differs depending on whether the button member 14 is at the first position P1 or the second position P2. The difference in the external appearance identifies whether the first discharge state or the second discharge state.

The aspect of the difference in appearance between the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2 is not limited. It only needs to have a different appearance in human vision. The following differences 1 to 8 are exemplified as types of differences in appearance.
(Difference 1) Difference in color (Difference 2) Difference in design (Difference 3) Difference in character (Difference 4) Difference in shading (Difference 5) Difference in luminance (Difference 6) Difference between light emission and non-light emission (Difference 7) Difference in light between emitted lights (difference 8) Two or more combinations selected from the group consisting of the above differences 1 to 7

  From the viewpoint of discriminating the difference, the above (Difference 1) is preferable. A combination of one or more selected from the group consisting of (difference 2) to (difference 7) and the above (difference 1) is also preferable.

  From the viewpoint of discriminability of difference, at least one of the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2 may include a light emitter. An LED (light emitting diode) is exemplified as an example of the light emitter. However, when a light emitter is used, there is a concern that the apparatus will be increased in size and cost. From this point of view, it is preferable that no light emitter is used.

  The cover member 20 or the button member 14 may have a daylighting window that can increase light (reflected light) from the display unit h1. In this case, it is preferable that the incident light from the daylighting window is configured to hit the display unit h1. The daylighting window may be provided with a member made of the same material as the transparent member t1.

Examples of configurations that can achieve the above differences 1, 4 and / or 5 include the following configurations 1 to 7.
(Configuration 1) Difference in paint color (Configuration 2) Presence / absence of paint (Configuration 3) Difference in deposition layer color (Configuration 4) Presence / absence of deposition layer (Configuration 5) Difference in material color (Configuration 6) Plating color (Structure 7) Presence / absence of plating In the embodiment, the structure 5 is adopted. An example of a method for realizing the configuration 7 with high productivity is a two-color electroplating method described later.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 18B, the surface of the transparent member t1 has a convex curved surface. As will be described later, this convex curved surface can realize bending of light. As will be described later, the visibility can be improved by the bending of the light. In consideration of ease of viewing, hatching of the transparent member t1 is omitted in the enlarged portion of FIG.

  When the radius of curvature R1 of the convex curved surface is too small, the reflected light may cross and the display unit h1 may be difficult to see. In this respect, the curvature radius R1 is preferably 7.5 mm or more, more preferably 8 mm or more, and still more preferably 10 mm or more. In light of increasing the bending of light, the curvature radius R1 is preferably equal to or less than 30 mm, more preferably equal to or less than 20 mm, and still more preferably equal to or less than 15 mm. In the present embodiment, the radius of curvature R1 is 20 mm. This curvature radius R1 is measured in a cross section along the direction X.

  What is shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 18B is an example of incident light Lt1 and reflected light Lt2. Incident light Lt1 is indicated by a broken line. The reflected light Lt2 is indicated by a solid line. The reflected light Lt2 is light from the display unit h1.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 18B, the reflected light Lt2 has forward bent light Lt21 bent forward. That is, the transparent member t1 can bend the light from the display unit h1 forward. The user is usually located in front of the faucet device 2. Therefore, the visibility of the user is enhanced by the forward bending light Lt21.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 18B, the reflected light Lt2 has backward bent light Lt22 bent backward. That is, the transparent member t1 can bend the light from the display unit h1 backward. The user's perspective is not constant. For example, the viewpoint differs depending on the height of the user. Further, even when the same user is used, the viewpoint at the time of use is not constant. Visibility from multiple directions is enhanced by the backward bending light Lt22.

  The light from the second appearance portion c2 is easily diffused by the front bending light Lt21 and the rear bending light Lt22. Therefore, visibility from multiple directions is increased.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 18B, the incident light Lt1 has a center bent light Lt11 that is bent toward the center of the transparent member t1. That is, the transparent member t1 can bend light from the outside toward the center. Therefore, the light quantity irradiated to the display part h1 can be increased. Due to the increase in the amount of irradiation light, the reflected light Lt2 increases. Therefore, visibility is improved.

  FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of the transparent member t1. The transparent member t1 has an outer surface t11, a width expanding portion t12, and an inner surface t13. In the cross section along the direction X, the outer surface t11 is a convex curved surface (convex shape). In the width extension portion t12, the cross-sectional width in the X direction increases as going outward. The X direction width of the outer surface t11 is larger than the X direction width of the inner surface t13. With this shape, even if the X-direction width of the second appearance portion c2 is small, the visibility of the second appearance portion c2 that can be seen through the transparent member t1 can be improved.

  FIGS. 20A and 20B are cross-sectional views showing the positional relationship between the button member 14 and the cover member 20. In FIG. 20A, the button member 14 is in the first position P1. In FIG. 20B, the button member 14 is in the second position P2.

  As shown in FIG. 20A, when the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the first appearance portion c1 is in a position where it can be viewed from the display window wd1. When the button member 14 is in the first position P1, the second appearance portion c2 is in a position where it cannot be visually recognized from the display window wd1.

  As shown in FIG. 20B, when the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the second appearance portion c2 is in a position where it can be viewed from the display window wd1. When the button member 14 is in the second position P2, the first appearance portion c1 is in a position where it cannot be visually recognized from the display window wd1.

  In the present embodiment, a transparent member t2 is used. As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 20B, the surface of the transparent member t2 has a concave curved surface. As will be described later, this concave curved surface can realize light bending. As will be described later, the visibility can be improved by the bending of the light. In consideration of ease of viewing, hatching of the transparent member t2 is omitted in the enlarged portion of FIG.

  When the radius of curvature R2 of the concave curved surface is too small, dust or the like accumulates in the concave portion and is easily contaminated. In this respect, the curvature radius R2 is preferably 5 mm or more, more preferably 8 mm or more, and still more preferably 10 mm or more. In light of increasing the bending of light, the curvature radius R2 is preferably equal to or less than 50 mm, more preferably equal to or less than 30 mm, and still more preferably equal to or less than 20 mm. In the present embodiment, the radius of curvature R2 is 20 mm. This radius of curvature R2 is measured in a cross section along the direction X.

  What is shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 20B is an example of the incident light Lt3 and the reflected light Lt4. Incident light Lt3 is indicated by a broken line. The reflected light Lt4 is indicated by a solid line. The reflected light Lt4 is light from the display unit h1.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 20B, the reflected light Lt4 has forward bent light Lt41 bent forward. That is, the transparent member t2 can bend the light from the display unit h1 forward. The user is usually located in front of the faucet device 2. Therefore, the visibility of the display part h1 from the front is improved by the front bending light Lt41.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 20B, the reflected light Lt4 has backward bent light Lt42 bent backward. That is, the transparent member t2 can bend the light from the display unit h1 backward. The user's perspective is not constant. For example, the viewpoint differs depending on the height of the user. Further, even when the same user is used, the viewpoint at the time of use is not constant. Visibility from multiple directions is enhanced by the backward bending light Lt42.

  The light from the second appearance portion c2 is easily diffused by the front bending light Lt41 and the rear bending light Lt42. Therefore, visibility from multiple directions is increased.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 20B, the incident light Lt3 includes both-edge bent light Lt31 that is bent toward both edges of the transparent member t2. That is, the transparent member t2 can bend light from the outside to both edge sides. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of light irradiated on both sides of the display unit h1. Due to the increase in the amount of irradiation light, a large amount of light is collected at both edges of the outer surface t21. Therefore, the visibility of the second appearance portion c2 that can be seen through the transparent member t2 is increased.

  FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of the transparent member t2. The transparent member t2 has an outer surface t21, a width expanding portion t22, and an inner surface t23. In the cross section along the direction X, the outer surface t21 is a concave curved surface (concave shape). In the width extension part t22, the cross-sectional width in the X direction increases toward the outside. The X direction width of the outer surface t21 is larger than the X direction width of the inner surface t23. With this shape, even if the X-direction width of the second appearance portion c2 is small, the visibility of the second appearance portion c2 that can be seen through the transparent member t2 can be improved. Thus, the visibility of the display part h1 can be improved because at least a part of the outer surface t21 of the transparent member t2 is concave.

  FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the operation unit 14 and the cover member 20. In this embodiment, a transparent member t3 is used.

  FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the button member 14 and the cover member 20 when the operation unit 14 is in the second position P2. A convex part t33 is provided on the outer surface t31 of the transparent member t3. The convex portion t33 extends along the longitudinal direction of the transparent member t3. This convex part t33 is extended over the whole longitudinal direction of the transparent member t3. The convex portion t33 forms a diffusion functional surface that can diffuse the transmitted light from the display portion h1. This diffusion can improve visibility from multiple directions. From the viewpoint of improving the visibility of the display unit h1, it is preferable that the transparent member t3 can diffuse the transmitted light from the display unit h1.

  The convex portion t33 is provided at the center position in the X direction of the transparent member t3. With this arrangement, the light diffusion effect by the convex portion t33 is enhanced.

In the embodiment of FIG. 23, the outer surface t31 of the transparent member t3 is a combination of a convex curved surface and a convex portion t33. FIGS. 24A to 24C show another embodiment.
In the embodiment of FIG. 24A, the outer surface t41 of the transparent member t4 is a combination of a convex curved surface and a concave portion t43. The recess t43 extends along the longitudinal direction of the transparent member t4. The recess t43 extends over the entire length of the transparent member t4. In the embodiment of FIG. 24B, the outer surface t51 of the transparent member t5 is a combination of a concave curved surface and a convex portion t53. The convex portion t53 extends along the longitudinal direction of the transparent member t5. The convex portion t53 extends over the entire length of the transparent member t5. In the embodiment of FIG. 24C, the outer surface t61 of the transparent member t6 is a combination of a concave curved surface and a concave t63. The recess t63 extends along the longitudinal direction of the transparent member t6. The recess t63 extends over the entire length of the transparent member t6. Also in these embodiments, the light from the display unit h1 is effectively diffused and visibility is improved.

  The recess t43 is provided at the center position in the X direction of the transparent member t4. With this arrangement, the light diffusion effect by the recess t43 is enhanced. The convex portion t53 is provided at the center position in the X direction of the transparent member t5. With this arrangement, the light diffusion effect by the convex portion t53 is enhanced. The recess t63 is provided at the center position in the X direction of the transparent member t6. With this arrangement, the light diffusion effect by the recess t63 is enhanced.

  FIG. 25A is another example of a convex portion that can be placed on a transparent member. Preferably, a plurality (large number) of the convex portions p1 are provided on the outer surface of the transparent member. The surface of the convex portion p1 is a diffusion function surface capable of diffusing transmitted light from the display portion h1. This diffusion is turbulent diffusion. This diffusion increases the visibility of the display unit h1. Thus, at least a part of the outer surface of the transparent member is convex, so that the visibility of the display unit h1 can be improved.

  FIG. 25B is another example of a recess that can be installed in a transparent member. Preferably, a plurality (large number) of the recesses r1 are provided on the outer surface of the transparent member. The surface of the recess r1 is a diffusion function surface that can diffuse the transmitted light from the display unit h1. This diffusion is turbulent diffusion. This diffusion increases the visibility of the display unit h1. Thus, the visibility of the display part h1 can improve because at least one part of the outer surface of a transparent member is made into concave shape.

  The diffusion function surface is, for example, the surface of the convex portion or the concave portion. Examples of the diffusion function surface include an inclined surface, a horizontal surface, a vertical surface, or a combination thereof. The diffusion functional surface may be a flat surface or a curved surface. The diffusion functional surface may be a concave surface or a convex surface. The convex portion t33 described above is an example of a convex portion having a diffusion function surface. The convex part p1 mentioned above is another example of the convex part which has a diffusion function surface. The concave portion t43 described above is an example of a concave portion having a diffusion function surface. The concave portion r1 described above is another example of a concave portion having a diffusion function surface. These convex portions and convex portions are examples in which the diffusion function surface is only a slope.

  In the above-described embodiment, the display window wd1 has an annular window portion that extends along an annular shape. In the above embodiment, the entire display window wd1 is the annular window portion wc1 (see FIG. 3). The annular window portion wc1 extends along the circumferential surface.

  In the said embodiment, the transparent member t1 has the cyclic | annular transparent part tc1 extended along the cyclic | annular window part wc1. In the said embodiment, the whole transparency member t1 is the cyclic | annular transparent part tc1. The annular transparent portion tc1 may be interrupted at one place or two or more places in the extending direction. The annular transparent part tc1 of the above embodiment is interrupted at one place (lower part) in the extending direction. The display portion h1 is conspicuous by the annular transparent portion tc1. The display part h1 is visually recognized from multiple directions by the annular transparent part tc1. The visibility of the display part h1 is enhanced by the annular transparent part tc1.

In the upper projection, the width of the cover member 20 is W1, and the total length La of the annular window portion wc1 is L1. From the viewpoint of improving visibility, L1 / W1 is preferably 0.3 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and still more preferably 0.7 or more. The width W1 is measured at the boundary position adjacent to the annular window portion wc1. In addition, when there are a plurality of measured values of the width W1, an average value is adopted. In this upper projection, the length L is equal to the total length L1 because there is one annular window portion wc1. In the embodiment of FIG. 11, L1 / W1 is 1.

In this right projection, the width of the cover member 20 is W2, and the total length Lb of the annular window portion wc1 is L2. From the viewpoint of improving visibility, L2 / W2 is preferably 0.3 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and still more preferably 0.7 or more. The width W2 is measured at a boundary position adjacent to the annular window portion wc1. In addition, when there are a plurality of measured values of the width W2, the average value is adopted. In this right projection, the length Lb is equal to the total length L2 because there is one annular window portion wc1. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, L2 / W2 is approximately 1.

  Although not shown, a left projection projected in the left direction is defined. In the present embodiment, the left-right projection is a drawing in which FIG. 8 is horizontally reversed. This projection direction (left direction) is perpendicular to the direction X. In this left projection, the width of the cover member 20 is W3, and the total length Lc of the annular window portion wc1 is L3. From the viewpoint of improving visibility, L3 / W3 is preferably 0.3 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and still more preferably 0.7 or more.

The following is illustrated as an effect of the embodiment.
(Effect 1) The button member 14 operated by hand does not have a display window. Therefore, the stain of the display window due to contact with the hand is suppressed, and the stain resistance and durability are improved.
(Effect 2) The movement of the button member 14 is also the movement of the display unit h1, and the structure is simple. For this reason, it is hard to produce the position shift of the display part h1 by the repetition of use and the error of an assembly. In addition, the simple structure improves productivity and reduces costs.
(Effect 3) Since the transparent member t1 is provided in the display window wd1, the accumulation of dust and the like in the display window wd1 is suppressed. Further, the display window wd1 which is an opening is reinforced by the transparent member t1, and the strength of the cover member 20 is increased.
(Effect 4) Since the light from the display unit h1 is bent forward, the light from the display unit h1 easily reaches the viewpoint of the user of the faucet device 2. Therefore, the visibility of the display unit h1 can be improved.
(Effect 5) The visibility of the display part h1 can improve by providing a convex-shaped and / or concave-shaped part in a transparent member.
(Effect 6) The visibility of the display unit h1 from multiple directions can be improved by the diffusion function surface.
(Effect 7) Regardless of the position of the button member 14, the first appearance portion c1 and the second appearance portion c2 are covered with the cover member 20 or the transparent member t1. During the operation of the button member 14, no contact is made with the first appearance part c1 and the second appearance part c2. Therefore, the 1st appearance part c1 and the 2nd appearance part c2 are hard to get dirty, and visibility can be maintained for a long time.

  In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 4298319, since the display portion is a rotary type, the structure is complicated, and failure and cost increase due to repeated use are likely to occur. Further, since there is a display window on the front surface, the display window is likely to become dirty due to contact during operation. In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-217858, since a button has a display window, a hand easily touches the display window during button operation. For this reason, dust or the like accumulates in the display window, and visibility is likely to deteriorate. In addition, the strength of the button tends to decrease due to the display window. In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-49565, since the display portion is a rotary type, the structure is complicated, and failure and cost increase are likely to occur due to repeated use. In the said embodiment, an advantageous effect is show | played compared with these prior documents.

  In the present embodiment, the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20 are molded by a two-color molding method.

[Two-color molding method]
In the two-color molding method, different materials are combined and molded integrally. The two-color molding method is also referred to as a double mold method.

  The two-color molding method includes a primary molding step for molding the first member, and a secondary molding for obtaining a two-color molded body by integrally molding a second member made of a material different from the first member with the first member. Process. This two-color molded body has a contact boundary surface where the first member and the second member are in direct contact.

  In the primary molding process, the first mold M1 is used. In the secondary molding process, the second mold M2 is used. The first mold M1 has a first mold space in which the first member can be molded. This first mold space is filled with the first material, and the first member is molded. The second mold M2 has a second mold space in which the two-color molded body can be molded. When the first member is disposed in the second mold space, the molding space for the second member remains. By filling the remaining molding space with the second material, the second member is molded, and at the same time, the two-color molded body is formed. In this manufacturing method, high adhesion can be obtained at the contact boundary surface. In this two-color molding method, different materials can be brought into close contact with each other without a gap.

  In the present embodiment, the first member is a cover member 20, and the second member is a transparent member t1. Conversely, the first member may be the transparent member t1 and the second member may be the cover member 20.

  FIG. 26 is a cross-sectional view for explaining this two-color molding. The upper drawing of FIG. 26 shows the molding space SP of the second mold M2, the cover member 20, and the second member. The lower drawing of FIG. 26 shows a state where the molding space SP is filled with a transparent material and the transparent member t1 is molded. By this two-color molding method, high adhesion is obtained at the contact boundary surface bs1 between the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20. By this two-color molding method, generation of a gap between the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20 is prevented. Since the faucet device 2 is a product around water, moss or mold is likely to occur in the gap. Therefore, prevention of gaps is important.

Thus, in the faucet device 2, prevention of a gap is important. From this viewpoint, the usefulness of the two-color molding method is not limited to the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20, but can be applied to any resin molded product including the faucet device 2. From this viewpoint, the following configuration α is preferable, and configuration β is more preferable.
(Configuration α) The members A and B constituting the resin molded product and adjacent to each other are molded by a two-color molding method.
(Configuration β) The members A1 and B1 that constitute the outer surface of the resin molded product are molded by a two-color molding method.

  It is preferable that the material is different between the member A and the member B. The members A and B are preferably resin. It is preferable that the material is different between the member A1 and the member B1. The member A1 and the member B1 are preferably resin.

  Examples of the method for joining the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20 include fitting, adhesion, and mechanical joining. For example, the separately formed transparent member t1 may be fixed by fitting into the display window wd1. However, in the case of fitting, a gap may occur. Further, the transparent member t1 and the cover member 20 may be bonded. In this case, an adhesion process and an adhesive are required. Further, if the adhesive cannot be completely applied, a gap may be generated. A gap can also be generated by mechanical joining. In the two-color molding method, gaps are prevented. In addition, the assembly process can be reduced, and productivity is improved.

  From the viewpoint of lightness and cost, the cover member 20 is preferably made of resin. From the viewpoints of lightness and cost, the material of the transparent member t1 is preferably a resin. From the viewpoint of appearance, when the cover member 20 is made of resin, the surface is preferably plated.

  FIG. 27 is a cross-sectional view showing a process of plating the two-color molded body dm1 composed of the cover member 20 and the transparent member t1. In FIG. 27, (a) is a cross-sectional view before the plating process, and (b) is a cross-sectional view after the plating process. In the plating process, no masking is provided on the outer surface of the transparent member t1. In the plating process, the outer surface of the transparent member t1 comes into contact with the plating solution. However, the plating layer PL is not formed on the outer surface of the transparent member t1.

  In order to ensure transparency, it is preferable not to provide the plating layer PL on the outer surface t11 of the transparent member t1. In order to physically prevent the plating layer from adhering to the outer surface t11, it is necessary to mask the outer surface t11. However, it is difficult to perform masking so as to exactly match the boundary k1 of both members on the outer surface t11. This masking takes time and reduces productivity.

  Examples of plating methods include electrolytic plating, electroless plating, and vapor deposition plating. Masking is required for electroless plating or vapor deposition plating.

  In order to eliminate the need for masking and to set the boundary k1, electrolytic plating is preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the material of the transparent member t1 is a resin in which a plating layer is not formed by the electrolytic plating. Furthermore, it is preferable that the material of the cover member 20 is a resin on which a plating layer is formed by the electrolytic plating. In this case, the plating layer PL is formed only on the surface of the cover member 20 by plating the two-color molded body dm1 (see FIG. 27). This plating layer PL is a direct plating layer formed directly on the surface of the plating object (cover member 20). In this method, a gap is not generated by using the two-color molded body dm1, and the edge of the plating layer PL is coincident with the boundary k1. Furthermore, masking is not necessary. Therefore, aesthetics and productivity are improved, and gaps are prevented.

[Resin X]
A resin in which a plating layer is not formed by electrolytic plating is also referred to as resin X in the present application. Examples of the resin X include polystyrene resin, polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, and polypropylene resin.

[Resin X1]
A resin having no plating layer formed by electrolytic plating and having transparency is also referred to as a resin X1 in the present application. That is, the resin X1 is a resin X having transparency. Examples of the resin X1 include polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, and polypropylene resin. From the viewpoint of excellent transparency, the resin X1 is preferably a polycarbonate resin. In the said embodiment, the material of the transparent member was made into polycarbonate resin. From the viewpoint of taking advantage of the transparency of the resin, the resin X is preferably the resin X1.

[Resin Y]
A resin on which a plating layer is formed by electrolytic plating is also referred to as a resin Y in the present application. As this resin Y, an ABS resin (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer synthetic resin) is preferable. In the above embodiment, the cover member is made of ABS resin. Although the resin Y may have transparency, it is preferable that the resin Y does not have transparency from the viewpoint of freedom of resin selection.

A method that satisfies the following (a), (b), (c), and (d) is also referred to as a two-color molded electrolytic plating method in the present application.
(A) The material of the first member in the two-color molded body is one selected from the resin X and the resin Y.
(B) The material of the second member in the two-color molded body is the other selected from the resin X and the resin Y.
(C) The electrolytic plating is performed on the two-color molded body.
(D) Due to the difference between the material of the first member and the material of the second member, a portion having an electrolytic plating layer and a portion not having an electrolytic plating layer are formed.

  Due to the two-color molding method, a gap between the member A and the member B is hardly generated. Further, even if a slight gap is generated between the member A and the member B, this gap can be filled with the electrolytic plating layer. Therefore, the generation of a gap can be effectively prevented at the boundary k1 on the surface of the two-color molding method AB. Furthermore, a plating layer is formed only in a necessary portion without masking.

  More preferably, the resin X is a resin X1 having transparency. Therefore, for example, when the electroplating is performed on the two-color molded body AB composed of the member A and the member B, the material of the member A is the resin X1, and the material of the member B is the resin Y. Is preferred. In addition, when electrolytic plating is performed on the two-color molded body AB1 including the member A1 and the member B1, the material of the member A1 is the resin X1, and the material of the member B1 is the resin Y. Is preferred. This method is effective for faucets that are prone to problems due to gaps. This method is effective at any part of the faucet device.

  Due to the two-color molding method, a gap between the member A and the member B is hardly generated. Further, even if a slight gap is generated between the member A and the member B, this gap can be filled with the electrolytic plating layer. Therefore, the generation of a gap can be effectively prevented at the boundary k1 on the surface of the two-color molding method AB.

  Even in a resin molded product other than a water faucet, it is preferable that a member in which two materials are combined has no gap between them. In addition, it is useful to save the labor of masking and the like and increase the productivity other than the faucet application. Therefore, this two-color molded electrolytic plating method can be preferably applied to any resin molded product. This two-color molded electrolytic plating method is effective for any part of the resin molded product.

  For example, when electrolytic plating is performed on a two-color molded body AB composed of the member A and the member B, the material of the member A is the resin X, and the material of the member B is the resin Y. Is preferred. When the two-color molded body AB1 is subjected to electrolytic plating, it is preferable that the material of the member A1 is the resin X and the material of the member B1 is the resin Y. The two-color molded body AB1 is a two-color molded body composed of the member A1 and the member B1.

  From this point of view, the method for producing a resin molded product according to the present invention includes a step of molding a first member and a second member by a two-color molding method to obtain a two-color molded body, and electrolytic plating on the two-color molded body The process of giving. Preferably, the material of the first member is a resin X on which a plating layer is not formed by the electrolytic plating. Preferably, the material of the second member is a resin Y on which a plating layer is formed by the electrolytic plating.

Preferably, the plating layer by the electrolytic plating is not formed on the surface of the first member. In the step of performing the electrolytic plating, the plated layer by the electrolytic plating is formed on the surface of the second member, and the plated layer by the electrolytic plating is not formed on the surface of the first member. Preferably, in the step of applying electrolytic plating, the two-color molded body is not masked.

  Examples of the preferable resin molded product other than the water faucet include a molded product having a transparent part and a non-transparent part. Examples of the molded product include uses that require light to be transmitted through a transparent portion, such as a display panel of a car.

  The plating layer may be a single layer or a multilayer. From the viewpoint of ease of formation of the plating layer, a preferable innermost layer in the case of multiple layers is a copper plating layer. More preferably, the multilayer plating layer includes a copper plating layer, a nickel plating layer, and a chromium plating layer. More preferably, a nickel plating layer and / or a chromium plating layer is formed outside the copper plating layer. More preferably, a nickel plating layer is formed outside the copper plating layer, and a chromium plating layer is formed outside the nickel plating layer. More preferably, the plurality of plating layers have a three-layer structure, in which the innermost layer is a copper plating layer, the intermediate layer is a nickel plating layer, and the outermost layer is a chromium plating layer.
