Description

本発明は、セラミックディスク(固定ディスク及び可動ディスク)を使用した止水弁機構を樹脂製のハウジングに内蔵した樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの装着構造、並びに、かかる樹脂製止水弁カートリッジと(樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの取付対象部としての)水栓の弁収容部の取付構造とから構成される水栓の止水構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a resin water stop valve cartridge in which a water stop valve mechanism using a ceramic disk (a fixed disk and a movable disk) is incorporated in a resin housing, a mounting structure of the resin water stop valve cartridge, and the resin product The present invention relates to a water stop structure for a faucet composed of a water stop valve cartridge and a mounting structure for a valve housing portion of a faucet (as a mounting target part of a resin water stop valve cartridge).

従来、給水栓は、開栓操作及び閉栓操作のための弁収容部に止水弁を内装し、弁収容部を上方向及び下方向のいずれかに選択的に傾動したり、周方向(正逆方向)のいずれかに選択的に回動したりすることにより、止水弁を開弁動作又は閉弁動作して、給水源の水を吐水口から吐水又は止水するようになっている。この止水弁には、開弁動作及び閉弁動作を行う弁部材として、セラミックディスクを内装して操作性を向上したものがある。また、止水弁は、2〜10年程度で経年劣化による消耗により、消耗部品の交換等のメンテナンスを行う必要があるが、近年、このメンテナンス作業を容易に行えるよう、止水弁の各部品をハウジング内に収容して一体化した止水弁カートリッジの開発が進んでいる。ここで、単水栓用の止水弁カートリッジの場合、ハウジングとしては、単水栓の水栓本体への挿着時の工具による締結動作(水栓本体側の雌螺子に止水弁カートリッジ側の雄螺子を螺入して締結固定する動作)の際にハウジングに加わる負荷に十分に耐えることができる一定の強度や、使用による耐久性を満足する等の要請から、黄銅製ハウジング等の金属製ハウジングが使用されている。   Conventionally, a water faucet is provided with a water stop valve in a valve housing portion for opening and closing operations, and the valve housing portion can be selectively tilted in either the upward direction or the downward direction, The water stop valve is opened or closed by selectively rotating in one of the opposite directions), and water from the water supply source is discharged or stopped from the water outlet. . Some of the water stop valves have an improved operability by incorporating a ceramic disk as a valve member that performs a valve opening operation and a valve closing operation. In addition, it is necessary to perform maintenance such as replacement of consumable parts due to wear due to aging in about 2 to 10 years. In recent years, each part of the stop valve has been designed to facilitate this maintenance work. Development of a water stop valve cartridge that integrates and integrates the inside of the housing into the housing is progressing. Here, in the case of a water stop valve cartridge for a single water faucet, the housing has a fastening operation by a tool when the single water faucet is inserted into the water faucet body (the female screw on the faucet body side is connected to the water stop valve cartridge side). Metal, such as brass housings, from the demands of satisfying a certain level of strength that can sufficiently withstand the load applied to the housing when the male screw is screwed and fastened) A housing is used.

しかし、黄銅材料は、耐食性・耐久性に優れた金属材料であり、また、本来は必要な機械的強度を有する材料であるものの、水に触れることによって黄銅に含有される亜鉛が溶出して黄銅が劣化する現象(いわゆる脱亜鉛現象又は脱亜鉛腐食現象)が発生し、その機械的強度が減少したり、腐食により微小孔が発生したりする等の不具合を生じる可能性が指摘されている。また、止水弁のハウジングを含む水道用製品に使用される黄銅材料としては、被削性を高めて加工性を向上した快削黄銅が多く使用されるが、この快削黄銅には被削性を高めるために鉛が含有されている。また、黄銅の含有物である亜鉛には、不純物としてカドミウムが(微量であるものの)一般に含まれる。したがって、黄銅材料を使用して止水弁カートリッジのハウジングを製造すると、上記脱亜鉛現象による機械的強度の低下や腐食の発生、止水弁カートリッジ内を流れる水への鉛やカドミウムの溶出及び含有といった問題点が発生する可能性がある。特に、昨今の国際的な環境保護意識の高まりにより、環境汚染物質の拡散を防止するための各種規制、例えば、欧州連合によるRoHS指令(危険物質に関する制限)等が水道用製品にも適用されており、止水弁カートリッジを製造する場合においても、上記鉛やカドミウムの溶出等の可能性を確実に防止することが求められている。   However, the brass material is a metal material having excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and is originally a material having the necessary mechanical strength, but the zinc contained in the brass is eluted by touching water, and the brass material It has been pointed out that there is a possibility that a phenomenon (dezincification phenomenon or dezincification corrosion phenomenon) that deteriorates occurs and the mechanical strength decreases or micropores are generated due to corrosion. In addition, as a brass material used for water supply products including a water stop valve housing, free-cutting brass with improved machinability and workability is often used. Lead is included to enhance the properties. Moreover, cadmium is generally contained as an impurity (though it is a trace amount) in zinc which is a brass-containing material. Therefore, when a water stop valve cartridge housing is manufactured using brass material, the mechanical strength is reduced and corrosion occurs due to the dezincing phenomenon, and lead and cadmium are eluted and contained in the water flowing in the water stop valve cartridge. Such a problem may occur. In particular, with the recent increase in international environmental protection awareness, various regulations to prevent the spread of environmental pollutants, such as the RoHS Directive (Restrictions on Hazardous Substances) by the European Union, etc. are also applied to water supply products. Therefore, even when manufacturing a water stop valve cartridge, it is required to reliably prevent the possibility of elution of lead and cadmium.

そこで、上記従来の黄銅製ハウジングを有する止水弁カートリッジについて、上記問題点を発生しない別箇の材料を模索する過程で、本発明者らは、黄銅材料に代わる材料として、止水弁カートリッジの主材料を合成樹脂化すれば、上記脱亜鉛現象による機械的強度の低下や腐食の発生、鉛やカドミウムの溶出という可能性を完全に払拭することができることに着目し、樹脂材料の選定や樹脂による機械的構造を工夫することで、従来の黄銅製止水弁カートリッジに代わる樹脂製止水弁カートリッジについて鋭意実験研究を重ね、試行錯誤を繰り返した。その結果、本発明者らは、単に従来の黄銅材料からなるハウジング等の部品を合成樹脂材料に置き換えただけでは、特に、ハウジング部分の強度の点で新たな問題が発生することを確認した。そこで、本発明者らは、更に鋭意の人権研究を重ねた結果、ハウジングを合成樹脂材料から形成した場合でも十分な強度を有する止水弁カートリッジの発明をなすに至り、特許文献1として出願している。   Therefore, in the process of searching for another material that does not cause the above-mentioned problems with regard to the water stop valve cartridge having the conventional brass housing, the present inventors have used a water stop valve cartridge as a material to replace the brass material. Focusing on the fact that if the main material is made of synthetic resin, it is possible to completely eliminate the possibility of deterioration of mechanical strength, corrosion, and elution of lead and cadmium due to the above dezincification phenomenon. By devising the mechanical structure by, we conducted extensive experimental research on a resin water stop valve cartridge to replace the conventional brass water stop valve cartridge, and repeated trial and error. As a result, the present inventors have confirmed that a new problem arises particularly in terms of the strength of the housing part simply by replacing a conventional component such as a housing made of brass material with a synthetic resin material. Accordingly, as a result of further earnest research on human rights, the present inventors have come up with an invention of a water stop valve cartridge having sufficient strength even when the housing is formed of a synthetic resin material. ing.

特許文献1は、完全な合成樹脂化を可能とすることで、合成樹脂化による軽量化や、従来の黄銅材料に固有の問題点(使用に伴う強度低下や規制物質溶出等)を解決することができる樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの提供を課題とし、以下の構成を備えている(以下の特許文献1の説明においては、特許文献1の部材番号を使用して説明する)。即ち、特許文献1の発明は、ハウジング10の全体及び栓棒30の全体を合成樹脂化している。また、ハウジング10は、小径円筒部SCにおいて、可動ディスク41及び固定ディスク45の収容空間部分の壁厚を、可動ディスク41及び固定ディスク45に加わる水圧に耐えうる小さな第1の壁厚とし、締結用雄螺子部15の壁厚を、小径円筒部の第1の壁厚よりも大きく、かつ、締付部11の締付に伴って締結用雄螺子部15に加わる物理的負荷に耐えうる大きな第2の壁厚としている。そして、小径円筒部SCの内周面において、締結用雄螺子部15の他端側の位置と整合する位置には、第1の壁厚と第2の壁厚との差による平坦リング状の段差面18を形成している。   Patent Document 1 solves the problems inherent in conventional brass materials (such as strength reduction due to use and elution of regulated substances) by enabling the use of a completely synthetic resin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a resin water stop valve cartridge that can be used, and has the following configuration (in the following description of Patent Document 1, description will be made using the member numbers of Patent Document 1). That is, in the invention of Patent Document 1, the entire housing 10 and the entire plug rod 30 are made of synthetic resin. The housing 10 has a small first wall thickness that can withstand the water pressure applied to the movable disk 41 and the fixed disk 45 in the small-diameter cylindrical portion SC. The wall thickness of the male screw portion 15 is larger than the first wall thickness of the small-diameter cylindrical portion, and is large enough to withstand the physical load applied to the fastening male screw portion 15 as the tightening portion 11 is tightened. The second wall thickness is used. Then, on the inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter cylindrical portion SC, a flat ring shape due to the difference between the first wall thickness and the second wall thickness is located at a position that matches the position on the other end side of the fastening male screw portion 15. A step surface 18 is formed.

上記のように構成した特許文献1の止水弁カートリッジは、主要部品であるハウジングや栓棒の材料を従来の黄銅材料から合成樹脂材料へと変更した場合でも、必要な機械的強度及び耐久性等の諸特性、特に、大きな負荷のかかるハウジングの雄螺子部分における機械的強度及び耐久性等の要求を十分に満足することができ、完全な合成樹脂化を可能とすることで、合成樹脂化による軽量化や、従来の黄銅材料に固有の問題点(使用に伴う強度低下や規制物質溶出等)を解決することができるという特有の作用効果を発揮する。一方、特許文献1の止水弁カートリッジは、単水栓等の給水栓(具体的には、給水栓の弁収容部)への取付構造及び締結構造自体は、従来の黄銅製の止水弁カートリッジと同様となる。   The water stop valve cartridge of Patent Document 1 configured as described above has the necessary mechanical strength and durability even when the material of the housing and the stopper rod, which are main parts, is changed from a conventional brass material to a synthetic resin material. It is possible to fully satisfy the requirements such as mechanical strength and durability in the male screw part of the housing where a heavy load is applied, and to make it completely synthetic resin. And the unique effects of solving the problems inherent in conventional brass materials (such as strength reduction due to use and elution of regulated substances). On the other hand, the water stop valve cartridge of Patent Document 1 is a conventional water stop valve made of brass in terms of the mounting structure and the fastening structure itself to a water faucet such as a single water faucet (specifically, a valve accommodating portion of the water faucet). The same as the cartridge.

詳細には、従来の黄銅製の止水弁カートリッジは、ハウジングに内部構成部品(セラミックディスク等)を内蔵した状態で、そのハウジングの軸方向の一部に設けた雄螺子を、給水栓の弁収容部の止水弁収容用の開口に設けた雌螺子に螺合して締め込むことにより、給水栓の弁収容部に水密に装着されるようになっており、弁収容部のハンドルを開閉操作することで、止水弁カートリッジの弁機構を選択的に開弁動作及び閉弁動作させるようになっている。ここで、止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子を給水栓の弁収容部の雌螺子へ締め込むときには、給水栓のハンドルに固着される部分である止水弁カートリッジの栓棒の基端部(給水栓の弁収容部の開口から露出する突出側端部)に一体形成した六角ナット状の締付部を、スパナ等の工具により締め込み方向(通常の螺子の締付方向と同様の時計回り方向)に回転するが、このとき、止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子部分、特に、雄螺子を構成する各々の螺子山部分には工具からのトルクによる大きな機械的負荷(物理的負荷)が加わることになる。また、給水栓のハンドルの回転軸と(弁収容部に挿着した)止水弁カートリッジの回転軸(及び、弁収容部の雌螺子に対するハウジングの雄螺子の回転軸)とが一致するため、給水栓のハンドルを正方向又は逆方向に回転操作すると、このときの(一方の方向の回転操作の際の)トルクが、給水栓の弁収容部の雌螺子に締め込んだ止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子を緩ませる方向のトルクとなる。典型的には、閉弁動作のためのハンドルの閉成方向が反時計回り方向である場合に、ハンドルを閉成方向(逆方向)に回転すると、その回転トルクは、弁収容部の雌螺子部に対する止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子部の締め込み方向である時計回り方向と逆方向(即ち、締め込みを緩める方向)となる。   In detail, a conventional water stop valve cartridge made of brass has a male screw provided in a part of the housing in the axial direction with a built-in internal component (ceramic disk or the like) in the housing. By screwing and tightening into a female screw provided in the water stop valve housing opening of the housing section, the valve housing section of the water faucet is fitted in a watertight manner, and the handle of the valve housing section is opened and closed By operating, the valve mechanism of the water stop valve cartridge is selectively opened and closed. Here, when the male screw of the water stop valve cartridge is tightened to the female screw of the valve housing portion of the water tap, the base end portion of the stop rod (water tap) of the water stop valve cartridge that is a portion fixed to the handle of the water tap The hexagon nut-shaped tightening part formed integrally with the projecting side end exposed from the opening of the valve housing part) is tightened with a tool such as a spanner (clockwise direction similar to the normal screw tightening direction) At this time, a large mechanical load (physical load) due to the torque from the tool is applied to the male screw portion of the water stop valve cartridge, particularly to each screw thread portion constituting the male screw. . In addition, since the rotation axis of the handle of the faucet and the rotation axis of the water stop valve cartridge (inserted in the valve housing portion) (and the rotation shaft of the male screw of the housing with respect to the female screw of the valve housing portion) coincide with each other, When the handle of the water tap is rotated in the forward or reverse direction, the torque (at the time of the rotation operation in one direction) at this time is the torque of the water stop valve cartridge that is tightened into the female screw of the valve accommodating portion of the water tap. The torque is in the direction to loosen the male screw. Typically, when the closing direction of the handle for the valve closing operation is the counterclockwise direction, when the handle is rotated in the closing direction (reverse direction), the rotational torque is generated by the female screw of the valve housing portion. This is the direction opposite to the clockwise direction that is the tightening direction of the male screw portion of the water stop valve cartridge with respect to the portion (that is, the direction in which the tightening is loosened).

したがって、従来の止水弁カートリッジでは、給水栓の弁収容部に止水弁カートリッジを締結して取付けるときは、上記のようなハンドルの開閉操作による止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子部の緩みを念頭において、止水弁カートリッジをハンドルに対して工具により強く締め込む必要があった。また、これにより、従来の止水弁カートリッジのハウジングは、特に、給水栓への取付時に雄螺子部に加わるトルクに耐えるよう、十分な強度を付与する必要があった。特に、特許文献1の発明のように止水弁カートリッジのハウジングを合成樹脂で形成した場合は、給水栓への取付時にハウジングの雄螺子部に加わるトルクに耐えるよう、雄螺子部分の壁厚を前記トルクによる負荷を考慮した十分な壁厚とし、十分な強度を確保する必要があった。更に、従来の止水弁カートリッジでは、給水栓の弁収容部への取付け時に、弁収容部の雌螺子部や止水弁カートリッジの雄螺子部に過大な負荷がかからないよう、工具のトルクが(締め付け対象である雄螺子部等に過大な負荷が加わらないような)設定数値内となるよう(工具に内蔵したトルク制御装置等により)、締め込み時のトルク管理をする必要もあるが、業者によっては十分なトルク管理がなされず、設定値よりも過大なトルクで締め込み作業が行われることもある。この場合、特に、特許文献1の発明のように止水弁カートリッジのハウジングを合成樹脂で形成した場合は、設定値を超える過大なトルクの値によっては、ハウジングに過大な負荷が加わって損傷の可能性を否定できないため、このような最悪事態を想定すると、ハウジングを従来の黄銅材料等の金属材料以外により形成することは困難であった。   Therefore, in the conventional water stop valve cartridge, when the water stop valve cartridge is fastened and attached to the valve accommodating portion of the water faucet, the looseness of the male screw portion of the water stop valve cartridge due to the opening / closing operation of the handle as described above is taken into consideration. In this case, it is necessary to strongly tighten the water stop valve cartridge with a tool against the handle. In addition, this makes it necessary for the housing of the conventional water stop valve cartridge to have sufficient strength so as to withstand the torque applied to the male screw portion particularly when attached to the water faucet. In particular, when the housing of the water stop valve cartridge is formed of a synthetic resin as in the invention of Patent Document 1, the wall thickness of the male screw portion is set so as to withstand the torque applied to the male screw portion of the housing when attached to the water tap. It was necessary to secure a sufficient strength by considering a sufficient wall thickness in consideration of the load due to the torque. Further, in the conventional water stop valve cartridge, when the water faucet is attached to the valve housing portion, the torque of the tool is set so that an excessive load is not applied to the female screw portion of the valve housing portion and the male screw portion of the water stop valve cartridge. Although it is necessary to manage the torque at the time of tightening so that it is within the set value (so that an excessive load is not applied to the male screw part etc. to be tightened) (by a torque control device built in the tool, etc.) In some cases, sufficient torque management is not performed, and the tightening operation may be performed with a torque exceeding the set value. In this case, in particular, when the housing of the water stop valve cartridge is formed of a synthetic resin as in the invention of Patent Document 1, depending on an excessive torque value exceeding the set value, an excessive load is applied to the housing and damage may occur. Since the possibility cannot be denied, it is difficult to form the housing from a metal material other than the conventional brass material, assuming such a worst case.

そこで、本発明は、ハウジングや栓棒等の主要部品の材料として、従来の黄銅材料等の金属材料を使用することなく、合成樹脂材料を使用する一方で、給水栓のハンドルによる開栓/閉栓操作時に加わる(従来の止水弁カートリッジにおける締め込みを緩める方向の)トルクの影響を完全に排除することができ、これにより、従来のように(開閉操作時のトルクによる緩みを考慮して)止水弁カートリッジを給水栓の弁収容部に強く締め込む必要がない結果、従来のように止水弁カートリッジを給水栓の弁収容部に取付けるときに工具を使用することも不要となり、手作業によって給水栓の弁収容部へ簡単かつ確実かつ円滑に装着することができ、かつ、従来のような取付時のトルク管理をも不要とすることができ、その結果、主要部品の完全な合成樹脂化を可能とすることができ、合成樹脂化による軽量化や、従来の黄銅材料に固有の問題点(使用に伴う強度低下や規制物質溶出等)を完全に解決することができる樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの装着構造、並びに、かかる樹脂製止水弁カートリッジと取付対象部の嵌合溝とから構成される水栓の止水構造の提供を課題とする。   Therefore, the present invention uses a synthetic resin material as a material for main parts such as a housing and a plug bar, without using a conventional metal material such as a brass material, while opening / closing with a water faucet handle. It is possible to completely eliminate the influence of torque (in the direction of loosening the tightening in the conventional water stop valve cartridge) applied during operation, and as in the past (considering loosening due to torque during opening and closing operations) As a result, there is no need to tighten the water stop valve cartridge into the water tap valve housing. As a result, it is not necessary to use a tool when attaching the water stop valve cartridge to the water tap valve housing as in the past.

In the case of a screw, it is in the shape of a recessed groove formed so as to divide the female screw on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting part, but the male part formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting part is a valve housing side screw part. In the case of a screw, the male screw can be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion so as to be divided, or can be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion on the side opposite to the male screw. In addition, the valve side fitting portion, which is an element corresponding to the valve accommodating portion side fitting portion, is a female screw when corresponding to the male screw on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion, and corresponds to the female screw on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion.

[Housing 10]
As shown in FIG. 4A, the housing 10 is formed by injection molding or the like of the predetermined synthetic resin material so that a cylindrical plug rod insertion portion 11, a cylindrical fitting portion 12 with a projection, a cylindrical shape is formed. The O-ring mounting portion 14, the perforated cylindrical water flow portion 15, and the cylindrical support cap mounting portion 16 are integrally formed so as to extend coaxially in this order, and the stepped cylinder having the predetermined shape is formed. It is a single-piece molded product. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper rod insertion portion 11 has a predetermined cylindrical shape having a predetermined length (predetermined axial length) or a predetermined height having a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined outer diameter and a predetermined thickness. None, chamfered on the outer peripheral surface side of the tip. The fitting portion 12 has a cylindrical shape with a larger diameter than the plug rod insertion portion 11. Specifically, the fitting portion 12 has a cylindrical shape with a short axis protrusion or a circular ring shape with a protrusion having a predetermined inner diameter that is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the plug rod insertion portion 11, and other than the protrusion portion. The main portion has a predetermined outer diameter corresponding to the thickness of the main portion. As shown in FIG. 12, the inner peripheral surface of the stopper rod insertion portion 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12 each form a simple cylindrical surface (with a diameter corresponding to each inner diameter). ing. Moreover, the fitting part 12 has the external shape (design external appearance) which protrudes outward in the circular ring shape at the lower end of the plug stick insertion part 11. And between the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the said plug stick insertion part 11 and the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the fitting part 12, the level | step-difference part according to the difference of both internal diameters is formed, At the upper end position of the inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12, a step surface is formed which becomes a circular ring-shaped flat surface having a predetermined width (in the radial direction of the fitting portion 12) corresponding to the difference between the inner diameters of the two. . Here, the fitting part 12 is accommodated and arranged in the base part 121 in a substantially abutting state on the inner peripheral surface of the base part 121 of the valve accommodating part 120 (more precisely, the apex position of the female screw 122 of the base part 121). The outer diameter of the portion is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the base 121 (more precisely, the diameter between the vertices of the female screw 122 of the base 121).

嵌合部12の外周面には、所定角度を置いた位置に、前記カートリッジ回動阻止手段の他方であるカートリッジ回動阻止部としての所定個数の嵌合突起13が、嵌合部12の放射方向外方に突出するよう一体形成されている。なお、本実施の形態では、同一形状の嵌合突起13が、嵌合部12の外周面において180度の角度を置いた位置に、それぞれ、互いに対をなすように設けられている。各嵌合突起13は、嵌合部12の軸方向の全長を延びる所定長さ(高さ)と、嵌合部12の周方向の所定角度を占める所定幅と、嵌合部12の外周面からの突出長である所定厚みとを有する略直方体状の突起形状をなし、一対の嵌合突起13が、前記所定幅で嵌合部12の軸方向両端間(即ち、上端から下端まで)を嵌合部12の中心軸に沿って(互いに平行となって互いに対向した位置を)直線的に延びている。嵌合突起13は、樹脂止水弁カートリッジを弁収容部120に装着したときに、弁収容部120に対して樹脂製止水弁カートリッジのハウジング10が正逆方向に回転することを完全に阻止する構成部分又は構成要素であり、弁収容部120に設けた対応する形状の前記嵌合溝123に軸方向に摺動して挿入し、当該嵌合溝123内に密嵌されるようになっている。即ち、各嵌合突起13の前記所定幅は前記嵌合溝123の所定幅と同一寸法に設定され、また、各嵌合突起13の前記所定厚みは、前記嵌合溝123の所定深さと同一寸法(又は若干小さな寸法)に設定されている。ここで、嵌合突起13が嵌合溝123に対して弁収容部120の周方向に完全に回動となるよう、各嵌合突起13の前記所定幅は、前記嵌合溝123の所定幅と同一寸法に設定することが好ましいが、各嵌合突起13の前記所定厚みは、嵌合突起13の嵌合溝123に対する嵌合により回動阻止力を十分に発揮できる限りにおいて、前記嵌合溝123の所定深さよりも小さな寸法としてもよく、この場合、嵌合溝123への嵌合突起13の摺動による挿入が円滑化されることが期待できる。   On the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12, a predetermined number of fitting protrusions 13 as cartridge rotation prevention portions, which is the other of the cartridge rotation prevention means, are located at a predetermined angle, and the fitting portion 12 radiates. It is integrally formed so as to protrude outward in the direction. In the present embodiment, the fitting protrusions 13 having the same shape are provided so as to be paired with each other at positions at an angle of 180 degrees on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12. Each fitting protrusion 13 includes a predetermined length (height) extending the entire axial length of the fitting portion 12, a predetermined width occupying a predetermined angle in the circumferential direction of the fitting portion 12, and an outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12. And a pair of fitting protrusions 13 between the axial ends of the fitting portion 12 with the predetermined width (ie, from the upper end to the lower end). It extends linearly along the central axis of the fitting portion 12 (at positions parallel to each other and facing each other). The fitting protrusion 13 completely prevents the housing 10 of the resin water stop valve cartridge from rotating in the forward and reverse directions with respect to the valve housing portion 120 when the resin water stop valve cartridge is attached to the valve housing portion 120. And is inserted into the fitting groove 123 having a corresponding shape provided in the valve accommodating portion 120 by sliding in the axial direction, and is tightly fitted in the fitting groove 123. ing. That is, the predetermined width of each fitting protrusion 13 is set to the same dimension as the predetermined width of the fitting groove 123, and the predetermined thickness of each fitting protrusion 13 is the same as the predetermined depth of the fitting groove 123. It is set to a dimension (or a slightly smaller dimension). Here, the predetermined width of each fitting protrusion 13 is the predetermined width of the fitting groove 123 so that the fitting protrusion 13 is completely rotated in the circumferential direction of the valve housing portion 120 with respect to the fitting groove 123. It is preferable that the predetermined thickness of each fitting protrusion 13 is set to the same size as long as the rotation preventing force can be sufficiently exerted by fitting the fitting protrusion 13 to the fitting groove 123. It is good also as a dimension smaller than the predetermined depth of the groove | channel 123, and it can be anticipated that the insertion by the sliding of the fitting protrusion 13 to the fitting groove | channel 123 is smoothed in this case.

前記Oリング装着部14は、嵌合部12の外径よりも若干小径となる所定外径を有すると共に、嵌合部12よりも短い短軸円筒状又は円形リング状をなし、その外周面の周方向に沿って、OリングR1を外嵌して挿着するためのOリング溝(図示略)を形成している。Oリング装着部14のOリング溝には、OリングR1が弾性的に外嵌して装着されている。また、図12に示すように、Oリング装着部14は、前記嵌合部12の内径と同一の所定内径を有している。これにより、嵌合部12の内周面及びOリング装着部14の内周面は、それぞれ、完全に連続する(それらの内径と同一直径の)単純円柱状の面を形成している。また、前記通水部15は、Oリング装着部14の外径よりも若干小径となる所定外径を有する所定軸長(所定高さ)の穴あき円筒状をなしている。なお、Oリング装着部14の下端縁部は、面取りされて、その下端(及び、当該下端と一致する通水部15の上端)にかけて縮径するテーパー面を形成している。即ち、通水部15の外径は、このテーパー面に対応する寸法だけOリング装着部14の外径より小さくなっている。一方、通水部15は、Oリング装着部14の内径よりも若干大きい所定内径を有している。これにより、通水部15の壁厚は、通水部15より大きな外径を有するOリング装着部14の壁厚と比較して(及び、それよりも更に大きな外径を有する嵌合部12と比較して)、前記テーパー面に対応する外径差と前記内径差との合計分だけ小さい所定厚みとなっている。   The O-ring mounting portion 14 has a predetermined outer diameter that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the fitting portion 12, has a short-axis cylindrical shape or a circular ring shape shorter than the fitting portion 12, and has an outer peripheral surface thereof. An O-ring groove (not shown) for externally fitting and inserting the O-ring R1 is formed along the circumferential direction. An O-ring R1 is elastically fitted in the O-ring groove of the O-ring mounting portion 14 and mounted. As shown in FIG. 12, the O-ring mounting portion 14 has a predetermined inner diameter that is the same as the inner diameter of the fitting portion 12. Thereby, the inner peripheral surface of the fitting part 12 and the inner peripheral surface of the O-ring mounting part 14 each form a simple columnar surface that is completely continuous (having the same diameter as their inner diameter). The water flow portion 15 has a cylindrical shape with a predetermined axial length (predetermined height) having a predetermined outer diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the O-ring mounting portion 14. In addition, the lower end edge part of the O ring mounting part 14 is chamfered, and forms the taper surface which diameter-reduces toward the lower end (and the upper end of the water flow part 15 which corresponds to the said lower end). That is, the outer diameter of the water flow portion 15 is smaller than the outer diameter of the O-ring mounting portion 14 by a dimension corresponding to this tapered surface. On the other hand, the water flow portion 15 has a predetermined inner diameter that is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the O-ring mounting portion 14. Thereby, the wall thickness of the water flow part 15 is compared with the wall thickness of the O-ring mounting part 14 having a larger outer diameter than the water flow part 15 (and the fitting part 12 having a larger outer diameter than that). The predetermined thickness is smaller by the sum of the outer diameter difference corresponding to the tapered surface and the inner diameter difference.

It is installed. In addition, the water outlet 15a of the water flow part 15 is a predetermined distance from the upper end position of the water flow part 15 (the boundary position with the O-ring mounting part 14 or the lower end position of the tapered surface) from the lower end position of the water flow part. It has a predetermined height dimension that extends only to an upper position. In addition, each outlet 16a of the water flow portion 15 extends in a circular arc shape extending in a predetermined angle range (for example, a range of about 90 degrees) in the circumferential direction of the water flow portion 15, and this predetermined angle It has the circumferential dimension (arc length) corresponding to the extending range. Thereby, the wall portion between the pair of outlets 15a in the water flow portion 15 is also symmetrically arranged with an angle range of about 90 degrees, and the circumferential dimension (arc) corresponding to the extension range of this predetermined angle. Long). Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12, the water outlet 15a of the water flow part 15 occupies the upper half part of the water flow part 15, and the width dimension (the height dimension in FIG.

Moreover, the upper end edge part of the support cap attaching part 16 is chamfered, and forms the taper surface which diameter-reduces toward the upper end (and the lower end of the water flow part 15 which corresponds to the said upper end). That is, the outer diameter of the support cap mounting portion 16 is larger than the outer diameter of the water flow portion 15 by a dimension corresponding to the tapered surface. Similarly, the lower end edge portion of the support cap mounting portion 16 is chamfered to form a tapered surface that is reduced in diameter toward the lower end. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, a female screw 16a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the support cap mounting portion 16 from the lower end position in the axial direction to a position slightly ahead of the upper end position.

An O-ring R2 is elastically fitted in the O-ring groove of the base 21. The screwing portion 22 has a circular ring shape having a predetermined outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the support cap mounting portion 16 of the housing 10, and a support cap is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the screwing portion 22 over the entire axial length thereof. A male screw 22b that is screwed into the female screw 16a of the mounting portion 16 (that is, can be screwed into and removed from the female screw 16a) is formed by threading. The inner end surface (upper end surface) of the screw portion 22 is a circular ring-shaped flat surface, and the O-ring R3 is inserted into the inner end surface with a close fit along the circumferential direction. An O-ring groove (not shown) is formed. An O-ring R3 is fitted in the O-ring groove of the base portion 21 in a close fit.

It is a stepped inner peripheral surface composed of the inner peripheral surface 23a. As a result, the inner peripheral surface of the support cap 20 has first and second inner diameters between the circular inner peripheral surface 22a having the first predetermined inner diameter and the square inner peripheral surface 23a having the second predetermined inner diameter. A stepped surface formed of a flat surface having a width and a planar shape corresponding to the difference is formed. That is, when the support cap 20 is viewed from the bottom surface 23 side (lower end side) as the lower end surface, as shown in FIG. 2B, the circular inner periphery of the screwed portion 22 is formed inside the rectangular inner peripheral surface 23a of the base portion 21. The surface 22a appears and is visually recognized, and the step surface between the circular inner peripheral surface 22a and the rectangular inner peripheral surface 23a appears and is visually recognized. Further, at the bottom surface 23 of the base portion 21, the lower end edge of the enlarged inner peripheral surface 23a appears as a regular hexagonal opening. The support cap 20 thus configured has a lower end of the housing 10 (with the stopper rod 30 attached to the housing 10 as described later and the movable disk 41 and the fixed disk 45 accommodated inside the housing 10). The support cap mounting portion 16 is fixed by screwing. Specifically, the screwing portion 22 of the support cap 20 is completely screwed into the female screw 16a of the housing 10 and fastened, and the O-ring R3 on the upper end surface of the screwing portion is fixed to the fixing disk inside the housing 10.

[Plug bar 30]
The plug rod 30 is formed by injection molding or the like of the predetermined synthetic resin material, so that a cylindrical or columnar spline fitting portion 31 or a cylindrical columnar insertion (or a hollow central shaft portion) is inserted. The landing part 32 and the irregularly shaped cylindrical driving part 33 are integrally formed so as to extend coaxially in this order, and are formed into a step-shaped irregularly shaped cylindrical integral part having the predetermined shape.

Is spline-fitted to the handle 130 of the valve accommodating portion 120 as shown in FIG. 6, transmits a rotational driving force in the forward / reverse direction by the handle 130, and rotates the plug rod 30 in the forward / reverse direction. A female screw 31a is formed in the spline fitting portion 31 along the central axis. When the handle 130 is fixed to the resin water stop valve cartridge (attached to the valve housing portion), the spline fitting portion 31 The handle 130 is fixed to the water stop valve cartridge so as not to move in the axial direction by screwing a male screw (not shown) corresponding to the female screw 31a. Further, the outer diameter of the spline fitting portion 31 (the diameter connecting the vertices of the protrusions at the opposing angular positions spaced apart by 180 degrees between the spline grooves by spline processing) is larger than the inner diameter of the plug rod insertion portion 11 of the housing 10. The spline fitting portion 31 is loosely fitted to the plug rod insertion portion 11 of the housing 10 so as to be freely inserted. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the insertion portion 32 is a predetermined outer diameter that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the spline fitting portion 31 and is the same as or substantially the same as the inner diameter of the plug rod insertion portion 11 of the housing 10. The insertion portion 32 is inserted into the plug rod insertion portion 11 of the housing 10 so as to be slidable in the axial direction and rotatable in the circumferential direction. A position at a predetermined distance in the axial direction from the base end (or a position at a predetermined distance from the distal end) on the distal end side (upper end side) of the insertion portion 32 has a predetermined depth over the entire circumferential direction. A fitting groove 32a having a circular ring groove shape is formed.

ここで、挿着部32における嵌合溝32aの軸方向位置は、図12に示すように、栓棒30をハウジング10の下端開口から挿入して、栓棒30の挿着部32をハウジング10の栓棒挿着部11に挿着し、かつ、駆動部33の上端面(正確には、規制部33bの上端面)を嵌合部12の段差面に当接させたときに、嵌合溝32aがハウジング10の上端面から所定距離だけ突出した所定高さ位置にくるよう設定されている。具体的には、後述するように、固定キャップ50をハウジング10の上端部に固定した状態で、栓棒30の嵌合溝32aの下縁位置が、固定キャップ50の上壁53の上面とほぼ面一となる位置にくるよう、嵌合溝32aの軸方向位置が設定されている。そして、栓棒30をハウジング10の下端開口から挿入して栓棒30をハウジング10に完全に装着した状態(完全装着状態)で、栓棒30の嵌合溝31aには、止めリング61が着脱自在に嵌合され、止めリング61が固定キャップ50の上壁53の挿着孔53aの周縁部に当接することで、栓棒30をハウジング10に対して抜止した状態で固定すると共に、固定キャップ50をもハウジング10及び栓棒30に対して抜止した状態で固定するようになっている。また。挿着部32の基端側(下端側)において基端から軸方向に所定距離を置いた位置には、その周方向全体にわたって、所定深さを有する円形リング溝状をなすOリング溝(図示略)が軸方向に所定の小間隔を置いて一対形成されている。挿着部32のOリング溝には、それぞれ、OリングR4及びOリングR5が弾性的に外嵌して装着されている。そして、栓棒30をハウジング10に装着した状態では、挿着部32のOリング溝に装着されたOリングR4及びOリングR5が、ハウジング10の栓棒挿着部11の内周面に弾接し、栓棒30が、ハウジング10の内部で半径方向に移動不動に固定されると共に、正逆方向に回転自在となる。   Here, as shown in FIG. 12, the axial position of the fitting groove 32 a in the insertion portion 32 is inserted from the lower end opening of the housing 10, and the insertion portion 32 of the plug rod 30 is inserted into the housing 10. When the upper end surface of the drive unit 33 (more precisely, the upper end surface of the restricting portion 33b) is brought into contact with the stepped surface of the fitting portion 12. The groove 32a is set at a predetermined height position protruding from the upper end surface of the housing 10 by a predetermined distance. Specifically, as will be described later, in a state where the fixing cap 50 is fixed to the upper end portion of the housing 10, the lower edge position of the fitting groove 32 a of the stopper rod 30 is substantially the same as the upper surface of the upper wall 53 of the fixing cap 50. The axial position of the fitting groove 32a is set so as to be in a flush position. When the stopper rod 30 is inserted from the lower end opening of the housing 10 and the stopper rod 30 is completely attached to the housing 10 (completely attached state), the retaining ring 61 is attached to and detached from the fitting groove 31a of the stopper rod 30. The stopper ring 61 abuts on the peripheral edge portion of the insertion hole 53a of the upper wall 53 of the fixing cap 50 so that the stopper rod 30 is fixed to the housing 10 in a state where it is prevented from being removed. 50 is fixed to the housing 10 and the stopper rod 30 in a state of being removed. Also. On the base end side (lower end side) of the insertion portion 32, an O-ring groove that forms a circular ring groove shape having a predetermined depth over the entire circumferential direction is provided at a position that is a predetermined distance in the axial direction from the base end. A pair) is formed at predetermined small intervals in the axial direction. An O-ring R4 and an O-ring R5 are elastically fitted in the O-ring grooves of the insertion portion 32, respectively. In the state where the plug rod 30 is mounted on the housing 10, the O-ring R 4 and the O-ring R 5 mounted in the O-ring groove of the insertion portion 32 are elastic on the inner peripheral surface of the plug rod insertion portion 11 of the housing 10. In contact therewith, the stopper rod 30 is fixed so as not to move in the radial direction inside the housing 10 and is rotatable in the forward and reverse directions.

駆動部33は、前記挿着部32と同一又はほぼ同一の外径を有する略円筒状の回動部33aと、回動部33aの周方向の所定角度にわたって同軸状となるよう外側に張り出して一体形成された円弧リング状の規制部33bと、回動部33a及び規制部33bの下端において規制部33bと同一の外径となるよう外側に張り出し掲載された円弧フランジ状または円弧リング板状の当接部33cとからなり、回動部33aの周方向両端面をそれぞれ(対となる)規制面33dとしている。規制部33bは、所定厚み(放射方向における所定の張り出し厚み)で回動部33aから放射方向外方に張り出し形成される。ここで、規制部33bは、栓棒30を正逆方向に所定の回転角度だけ回転したときに、その周方向両端面を構成する一方の規制面33d及び他方の規制面33dのいずれかが、ハウジング10の嵌合部12の内周面に一体形成した規制突起17と当接してそれ以上の移動を阻止されることにより、栓棒30のそれ以上の回転を阻止する構成部分又は構成要素である。よって、規制部33bの規制面33dのうち、一方の規制面33dが、栓棒30を閉弁位置から正方向(開弁方向又は時計回り方向)に所定の回転角度だけ回転したときにハウジング10の規制突起17の一方の面と当接すると共に、他方の規制面33dが、栓棒30を開弁位置から逆方向(閉弁方向又は反時計回り方向)に所定の回転角度だけ回転したときにハウジング10の規制突起17の他方の面と当接するよう、規制部33bの周方向の延設角度範囲が設定されている。   The drive unit 33 projects outward so as to be coaxial with a substantially cylindrical rotation unit 33a having the same or substantially the same outer diameter as the insertion unit 32 and a predetermined angle in the circumferential direction of the rotation unit 33a. An arc ring-shaped restricting portion 33b that is integrally formed, and an arc flange-like shape or an arc-ring plate-like shape that projects outwardly so as to have the same outer diameter as the restricting portion 33b at the lower ends of the rotating portion 33a and the restricting portion 33b. Each end surface in the circumferential direction of the rotating portion 33a is a pair of regulating surfaces 33d. The restricting portion 33b is formed to project outward from the rotating portion 33a in a radial direction with a predetermined thickness (a predetermined protruding thickness in the radial direction). Here, when the restricting portion 33b rotates the plug rod 30 in the forward and reverse directions by a predetermined rotation angle, one of the one restricting surface 33d and the other restricting surface 33d constituting the circumferential end surfaces thereof is A component or component that prevents further rotation of the plug bar 30 by abutting against a restriction protrusion 17 integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12 of the housing 10 and preventing further movement. is there. Accordingly, when one of the restriction surfaces 33d of the restriction portion 33b rotates the plug rod 30 from the valve closing position in the forward direction (the valve opening direction or the clockwise direction) by a predetermined rotation angle, the housing 10 When the other restricting surface 33d rotates the plug bar 30 in the reverse direction (the valve closing direction or the counterclockwise direction) from the valve opening position by a predetermined rotation angle. The extending angle range in the circumferential direction of the restricting portion 33b is set so as to come into contact with the other surface of the restricting protrusion 17 of the housing 10.

具体的には、本実施の形態では、栓棒30を90度の範囲内で正逆回転して開弁位置及び閉弁位置とするため、規制部33bは、栓棒30の周方向に約240度の角度範囲で設けられ、これに対応して、一対の規制面33d間の間隙の角度範囲が、栓棒30の周方向に約120の角度範囲となるよう設定されている。また、規制部33bの規制面33dは、上下方向(栓棒30の軸方向に沿った方向)に延びる平坦面となっている。一方、ハウジング10の規制突起17は、例えば、図5(b1)及び図5(b2)に二点鎖線で示すように、平面視で所定角度(例えば、約90度)の円弧リング状をなすと共に、その平面形状と同一の断面形状で上下方向に所定高さだけ延びる略円弧ブロック状の突起とすることができ、その円弧方向両端面を規制面とすることができる。ハウジング10の規制突起17の高さ寸法は、規制部33bの高さ寸法(及び規制面33dの高さ寸法)と略同一寸法とすることができる。また、ハウジング10内において規制突起17を設ける高さ範囲は、ハウジング10の嵌合部12及びOリング装着部14内に栓棒30の駆動部33を当接状態で収容配置したときに、前記嵌合部12の内周面上端位置にある段差面から駆動部33の当接部33cの上面までの所定高さ範囲とされ(また、規制突起17の高さも当該高さ範囲内とされ)、駆動部33(特に当接部33c)が、所定角度範囲内での回動中に規制突起17と干渉することなく円滑に回動するようにしている。これにより、規制部33bの規制面33dのうち、一方の規制面33d(図5(b1)の右側の規制面33d)が、栓棒30を(図5(b1)に示す)閉弁位置から正方向(開弁方向である時計回り方向)に所定の回転角度(90度)だけ回転したときに、ハウジング10の規制突起17の一方の面(図5(b1)中の上側又は左側の面)と当接し、栓棒30が開弁位置(図5(b2)の位置)で回転停止するようになっている。一方、規制部33bの他方の規制面33d(図5(b1)の左側の規制面33d)が、栓棒30を開弁位置(図5(b2)の位置)から逆方向(閉弁方向である反時計回り方向)に所定の回転角度(90度)だけ回転したときに、ハウジング10の規制突起17の他方の面(図5(b1)中の下側又は右側の面)と当接し、栓棒30が閉弁位置(図5(b1)の位置)で回転停止するようになっている。即ち、ハウジング10に装着した栓棒30を正逆回転すると、規制部33bの一対の規制面33dが、ハウジング10の規制突起17の対応する側面にそれぞれ当接して、それ以上の回動が規制及び阻止され、これにより、栓棒30が、前記所定角度範囲内(約90度の範囲内)で正逆回転自在となるよう構成されている。   Specifically, in the present embodiment, the restricting portion 33b is arranged approximately in the circumferential direction of the plug rod 30 in order to rotate the plug rod 30 forward and backward within a range of 90 degrees to the valve opening position and the valve closing position. Corresponding to this, the angular range of the gap between the pair of restricting surfaces 33 d is set to be about 120 in the circumferential direction of the plug rod 30. The restricting surface 33d of the restricting portion 33b is a flat surface extending in the vertical direction (the direction along the axial direction of the plug rod 30). On the other hand, the restricting protrusion 17 of the housing 10 has an arc ring shape with a predetermined angle (for example, about 90 degrees) in a plan view, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 5 (b1) and 5 (b2), for example. At the same time, the projection can be a substantially arc block shape having the same cross-sectional shape as the planar shape and extending in the vertical direction by a predetermined height, and both end surfaces in the arc direction can be used as restricting surfaces. The height dimension of the restriction protrusion 17 of the housing 10 can be made substantially the same as the height dimension of the restriction portion 33b (and the height dimension of the restriction surface 33d). Further, the height range in which the restricting protrusion 17 is provided in the housing 10 is such that when the driving portion 33 of the plug bar 30 is accommodated and disposed in the fitting portion 12 and the O-ring mounting portion 14 of the housing 10 in a contact state. A predetermined height range from the step surface at the upper end position of the inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion 12 to the upper surface of the contact portion 33c of the drive portion 33 (and the height of the restricting projection 17 is also within the height range). The drive portion 33 (particularly the contact portion 33c) smoothly rotates without interfering with the restricting protrusion 17 during the rotation within a predetermined angle range. As a result, of the restricting surfaces 33d of the restricting portion 33b, one restricting surface 33d (the restricting surface 33d on the right side of FIG. 5B1) moves the plug rod 30 from the valve closing position (shown in FIG. 5B1). One surface (the upper or left surface in FIG. 5 (b1)) of the restricting projection 17 of the housing 10 when rotated by a predetermined rotation angle (90 degrees) in the positive direction (clockwise direction which is the valve opening direction). ) And the stopper rod 30 stops rotating at the valve opening position (the position shown in FIG. 5 (b2)). On the other hand, the other restricting surface 33d of the restricting portion 33b (the restricting surface 33d on the left side of FIG. 5 (b1)) moves the plug rod 30 in the reverse direction (in the valve closing direction) from the valve opening position (position of FIG. 5 (b2)). When it is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle (90 degrees) in a certain counterclockwise direction), it contacts the other surface (the lower or right surface in FIG. 5 (b1)) of the restriction projection 17 of the housing 10, The stopper rod 30 stops rotating at the valve closing position (position shown in FIG. 5 (b1)). That is, when the plug rod 30 attached to the housing 10 is rotated forward and backward, the pair of restricting surfaces 33d of the restricting portion 33b come into contact with the corresponding side surfaces of the restricting projections 17 of the housing 10, and further rotation is restricted. Accordingly, the stopper rod 30 is configured to be rotatable forward and backward within the predetermined angle range (within a range of about 90 degrees).

Each of the pair of water passage recesses 41a has a center angle (about 90 degrees) corresponding to the center angle of the fan-shaped portion 41x, and is symmetrically arranged in the direction perpendicular to the pair of fan-shaped portions 41x on the movable disk 41. Yes. The fan-shaped portion 41x and the central portion 41 have the same thickness, and both side surfaces in the thickness direction of the movable disk 41 are flat surfaces (except that the engaging recess 41b is provided on the upper surface side). Further, the other side surface (the lower surface in FIG. 6B) of the movable disk 41 in use is a polished surface that is in close contact with one side surface (upper surface) of the fixed disk 45, and has high smoothness and low frictional resistance. ing.

可動ディスク41は、図12に示すように、ハウジング10の通水部15の内部において前記出水口15aの厚さ部分(高さ方向部分)に対向する空間内に配置されるため、可動ディスク41の厚みは、前記ハウジング10の出水口15aの高さ寸法と同一寸法に設定されている。また、可動ディスク41の(平面扇状をなす)各通水凹部41aの最大開口長さは、可動ディスク41の一側において対向する2つの扇状部41xの角部間の寸法となるが、この最大開口長さは、前記ハウジング10の出水口15aの周方向寸法(円弧帳)と同等の寸法に設定されている。具体的には、可動ディスク41は、その外周面が通水部15の内周面に摺動自在となるよう密接状態で配置されるため、通水凹部41aの最大開口長さは、通水部15の内周面側における出水口15aの円弧帳とほぼ同一の寸法に設定されている。更に、可動ディスク41の扇状部41xの厚さ方向一側面(使用状態で栓棒30の駆動部33の下面と対向する面である上面)の外周部(円弧状部)において、180度の角度を置いて対向する位置には、それぞれ、略矩形凹部状の係合凹部41bが形成されている。係合凹部41bは、扇状部41xの途中の深さまで延びる断面略長方形状の凹部である。図6(a)に示すように、一対の係合凹部41bは、それぞれ、扇状部41xの外周面で開口している。また、係合凹部41bは、前記栓棒30の駆動部33の下面側の係合突起34を密嵌して保持するものであり、係合突起34に対応する形状及び寸法を有している。即ち、係合凹部41bは、係合突起34と同一又はほぼ同一の長さ寸法、幅寸法及び厚み寸法を有している。   As shown in FIG. 12, the movable disk 41 is disposed in a space facing the thickness portion (height direction portion) of the water outlet 15 a inside the water flow portion 15 of the housing 10.

In addition, the maximum opening length of each water-flowing recess 41a (which forms a flat fan shape) of the movable disk 41 is a dimension between the corners of the two fan-shaped parts 41x facing each other on the one side of the movable disk 41. The opening length is set to a dimension equivalent to the circumferential dimension (arc book) of the water outlet 15a of the housing 10. Specifically, since the movable disk 41 is arranged in close contact so that the outer peripheral surface thereof is slidable on the inner peripheral surface of the water flow portion 15, the maximum opening length of the water flow recess 41 a is set to the water flow rate. The size is set to be approximately the same as the arc book of the water outlet 15a on the inner peripheral surface side of the portion 15. Further, an angle of 180 degrees is formed at the outer peripheral portion (arc-shaped portion) of one side surface in the thickness direction of the fan-shaped portion 41x of the movable disk 41 (the upper surface that is the surface facing the lower surface of the drive portion 33 of the plug rod 30 in use). The engaging concave portions 41b having a substantially rectangular concave shape are formed at positions facing each other. The engaging recess 41b is a recess having a substantially rectangular cross section that extends to a depth in the middle of the fan-shaped portion 41x. As shown to Fig.6 (a), a pair of engaging recessed part 41b is each opened in the outer peripheral surface of the fan-shaped part 41x. The engaging recess 41b is for tightly fitting and holding the engaging protrusion 34 on the lower surface side of the driving portion 33 of the plug rod 30, and has a shape and a dimension corresponding to the engaging protrusion 34. . In other words, the engagement recess 41b has the same or substantially the same length, width, and thickness as the engagement protrusion 34.

That is, the fixed disk 45 is supported from the lower end edge position of the water outlet 15a (or the lower surface position of the movable disk 41 in the water flow section 15) in the water flow section 15 of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. Up to a position near the lower edge of the tapered surface of the cap mounting portion 16 (more precisely, a position where the upper end surface of the support cap 20 is disposed when the support cap 20 is completely screwed into the support cap mounting portion 16). Since it is arranged in the internal space that occupies the range, the thickness of the fixed disk 45 is set to the same dimension as the thickness dimension of the internal space. Further, a substantially triangular or substantially fan-shaped water passage hole 46 a extending from a position near the joining line of the pair of inclined surfaces 46 to the middle of the outer peripheral edge of the fixed disk 45 penetrates in the thickness direction of the fixed disk 45. Is formed. The pair of water passage holes 46 a of the fixed disk 45 are arranged such that their respective arc-shaped outer peripheral edges overlap the middle portions in the circumferential direction of the corresponding inclined surfaces 46. In this manner, the pair of inclined surfaces 46 are symmetrically disposed on the fixed disk 45 at positions facing each other at an angle of 180 degrees, and similarly, a pair of inclined surfaces 46 are disposed at positions facing each other at an angle of 180 degrees. The water passage holes 46a are arranged symmetrically. Furthermore, the center angle of the water passage hole 46 a of the fixed disk 45 is set to the same angle (about 90 degrees) as the center angle of the water passage recess 41 a of the movable disk 41. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed disk 45, small cubic locking projections 47 are integrally formed at positions facing each other at an angle of 180 degrees so as to protrude in the radial direction. The pair of locking protrusions 47 protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the fixed disk 45 at positions corresponding to the center position of the circular arc of the water passage hole 46 a of the fixed disk 45, and are arranged symmetrically on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed disk 45.

<When closed (valve closing)>
As shown in FIG. 12 (a1), in the water stop valve cartridge made of resin, the movable disk 41 is in the fully closed position when the water is not flowing. As shown in FIG. The water passage hole 46a of the fixed disk 45 is completely closed. In this state, the water that has entered the housing 10 from the lower end opening of the support cap 20 of the resin water stop valve cartridge is the water passage portion 15 of the housing 10. The water is completely blocked by the fixed disk 45 and the movable disk 41, and no water flows out from the water outlet 15 a of the water flow portion 15. In the fully closed position, the outer peripheral surfaces of the pair of fan-shaped portions 41 x of the movable disk 41 are arranged so as to completely face the pair of water outlets 15 a of the water flow portion 15 of the housing 10. The water outlet 15a is completely blocked, and the communication between the water outlet 15a of the water passage 15 and the water passage 46a of the fixed disk 45 is also blocked.

That is, from the fully closed position, the stopper rod 30 is rotated by a predetermined angle (about 90 degrees) in the valve opening direction, and the movable disk 41 is rotated in the valve opening direction via the drive unit 33 and the engagement protrusion 34 to be movable. The pair of water passage recesses 41 a of the disk 41 are completely opposed to the pair of water outlets 15 a of the water passage portion 15 of the housing 10. At this time, one restricting surface 33d of the restricting portion 33b of the plug rod 30 contacts one side surface of the restricting protrusion 17 in the inner space of the housing 10, and the movable disk 41 is stopped at the fully valve-opened position. Rotation is prevented. Further, at this fully open position, the pair of water passage recesses 41 a of the movable disk 41 are disposed so as to completely face the pair of water outlets 15 a of the water passage portion 15 of the housing 10. The water outlet 15a and the water passage hole 46a of the fixed disk 45 are completely communicated with each other. At this time, as described above, the pair of water passage recesses 41a of the movable disk 41 are disposed so as to completely face the pair of water passage holes 46a of the fixed disk 45, so that the water passage holes 46a are completely covered. It is open. Thereby, the water from the water flow hole 20a of the support cap 20 passes through the water flow hole 46a of the fixed disk 45 and the water flow recessed part 41a of the movable disk 41 in the axial direction of the water flow part 15 at the maximum flow rate. 41 is changed from the axial direction of the water flow portion 15 to the radially outward direction by the side surface of the water flow recess portion 41a (by the plane “く” -shaped side surface of the fan-shaped portion 41x), as shown in FIG. The water is smoothly discharged from the water outlet 15a of the water flow portion 15 toward the outside at the maximum flow rate.

[Function and effect]
According to the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment, and the water stop structure constituted by the resin water stop valve cartridge and the fitting groove 123 of the valve housing portion 120, the resin When assembling the water stop valve cartridge into the valve housing 120, the operator does not use a tool to tighten the water stop valve cartridge with a large torque as in the prior art, but the operator uses the fingers to hold the fixing cap 50 with his / her fingers. The assembly of the resin water stop valve cartridge to the valve accommodating portion 120 is completed simply by gripping and screwing and screwing into the mounting portion 121. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when assembling the resin water stop valve cartridge to the mounting target portion, as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the load applied by tightening with such a tool. As a result, the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment takes into account only the torque and load when tightening with fingers (that is, completely considers the torque and load when tightening with conventional tools). Not)) The overall strength can be designed, and a structure having sufficient strength can be obtained even though the whole is made of resin. In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to tighten with a tool when assembling the resin water stop valve cartridge to the mounting target portion, and therefore, torque management when tightening with a conventional tool is not required. As a result, assembly workability is improved.

一方、本実施の形態でも、給水栓100のハンドル130の回転軸と弁収容部120に装着した樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの回転軸とが一致し、弁収容部120の雌螺子122の回転軸とハウジング10に組付けた固定キャップ50の雄螺子52の回転軸とが一致するため、給水栓100のハンドル130を正方向又は逆方向に回転操作すると、このときの特に閉弁操作の際の反時計回り方向のトルクが、弁収容部120の雌螺子122に締め込んだ固定キャップ50の雄螺子52を緩ませる方向のトルクとなるはずであるが、このとき、本実施の形態では、固定キャップ50を取り付けたハウジング10が、装着部120の嵌合溝123に嵌合されて、装着部120に対する相対回動を阻止されている。したがって、本実施の形態では、たとえ、閉弁動作のために給水栓100のハンドル130を閉成方向(反時計回り方向)に回転しても、その回転トルクは、弁収容部120の嵌合溝123とハウジング10の嵌合突起13との係合構造によって完全に阻止又は遮断され、ハウジング10を介して固定キャップ50に全く伝達されることがない。その結果、給水栓10のハンドル130を開閉操作することによる弁収容部120からの樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの緩みや脱落といった事態を想定する必要がなく、また、ハンドル130の開閉操作によって樹脂製止水弁カートリッジが弁収容部120から緩んで漏水したりするといった不具合を完全に防止することができる。加えて、ハンドル130の開閉操作による樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの緩みを考慮する必要が全くないため、この点でも、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを弁収容部120に対して強く締め込む必要がなくなり、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの強度(特に、弁収容部120との間で機構的に連結されて機械的負荷が加わる部品であるハウジング10の強度)を相対的に小さく設定することができ、装置全体の軽量化及びコンパクト化に大きく貢献することができる。   On the other hand, also in this embodiment, the rotating shaft of the handle 130 of the water tap 100 and the rotating shaft of the resin water stop valve cartridge attached to the valve housing portion 120 coincide with each other, and the rotating shaft of the female screw 122 of the valve housing portion 120 And the rotation axis of the male screw 52 of the fixed cap 50 assembled to the housing 10 coincide with each other. Therefore, when the handle 130 of the water tap 100 is rotated in the forward direction or in the reverse direction, the valve closing operation at this time is particularly performed. The torque in the counterclockwise direction should be a torque in a direction to loosen the male screw 52 of the fixing cap 50 tightened to the female screw 122 of the valve housing portion 120. At this time, in this embodiment, the fixing screw 50 is fixed. The housing 10 to which the cap 50 is attached is fitted into the fitting groove 123 of the mounting portion 120 and is prevented from rotating relative to the mounting portion 120. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the handle 130 of the water tap 100 is rotated in the closing direction (counterclockwise direction) for the valve closing operation, the rotational torque is the fitting of the valve housing portion 120. The engagement structure between the groove 123 and the fitting protrusion 13 of the housing 10 is completely blocked or blocked, and is not transmitted to the fixed cap 50 through the housing 10 at all. As a result, it is not necessary to assume a situation where the resin water stop valve cartridge is loosened or dropped from the valve housing portion 120 due to the opening / closing operation of the handle 130 of the water tap 10. It is possible to completely prevent a problem that the water stop valve cartridge is loosened from the valve housing portion 120 and leaks water. In addition, since there is no need to consider the looseness of the resin water stop valve cartridge due to the opening / closing operation of the handle 130, it is not necessary to tighten the resin water stop valve cartridge with respect to the valve housing portion 120 in this respect as well. The strength of the resin water stop valve cartridge (particularly, the strength of the housing 10 which is mechanically connected to the valve housing portion 120 and is subjected to a mechanical load) can be set relatively small. This can greatly contribute to the weight reduction and compactness of the entire apparatus.

このように、本実施の形態に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ、並びに、当該樹脂製止水弁カートリッジと弁収容部120の嵌合溝123とにより構成される止水構造によれば、ハウジング10や栓棒30等の主要部品の材料として、従来の黄銅材料等の金属材料を使用することなく、合成樹脂材料を使用する一方で、給水栓100のハンドル130による開栓/閉栓操作時に加わる(従来の止水弁カートリッジにおける締め込みを緩める方向の)トルクの影響を完全に排除することができ、これにより、従来のように(開閉操作時のトルクによる緩みを考慮して)樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを給水栓100の弁収容部120に強く締め込む必要がない結果、従来のように樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを給水栓100の弁収容部120に取付けるときに工具を使用することも不要となり、手作業によって給水栓100の弁収容部120へ簡単かつ確実かつ円滑に装着することができ、かつ、従来のような取付時のトルク管理をも不要とすることができ、その結果、主要部品の完全な合成樹脂化を可能とすることができ、合成樹脂化による軽量化や、従来の黄銅材料に固有の問題点(使用に伴う強度低下や規制物質溶出等)を完全に解決することができる。詳細には、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、金属製の従来の止水弁カートリッジに比べて、約1/3の重量とすることができ、大幅な軽量化を図ることができる。また、従来の金属製止水弁カートリッジは、腐食による錆や劣化の問題があるため、表面が変色したり錆が(通水に混入して)流出するおそれがあるが、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、完全樹脂化されており、金属材料のように腐食することがないため、これらの問題をも解決することができる。更に、従来の金属製止水弁カートリッジは、金属内に含まれる(RoHS指令により規制対象とされる)鉛やカドミウム等の成分が水中に浸出して健康に影響を及ぼす恐れがあり、基準値を満たさない限り、製品を欧州圏に出荷できないという問題もあるが、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、完全樹脂化されており、金属材料のように規制成分が浸出するおそれがないため、これらの問題をも解決することができる。加えて、従来の金属製止水弁カートリッジは、金属材料としての黄銅が水に触れると亜鉛が溶解して黄銅が劣化する脱亜鉛現象が発生し、この場合、強度の減少や腐食による微小孔の発生という問題もあるが、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、完全樹脂化されており、脱亜鉛現象に起因する問題をも解決することができる。更に、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、樹脂により各種部品を形成するにもかかわらず十分な強度を備えることができるため、製品全体の寸法を従来の金属製止水弁カートリッジと同等の寸法とすることができ、かつ、この場合でも、従来の金属製止水弁カートリッジと同等の性能を発揮することができる。   As described above, according to the water stop structure of the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment, and the water stop structure of the resin water stop valve cartridge and the fitting groove 123 of the valve accommodating portion 120, the housing 10 As a material for the main parts such as the plug rod 30 and the like, a synthetic resin material is used without using a conventional metal material such as a brass material, and on the other hand, it is added at the time of opening / closing operation by the handle 130 of the water tap 100 ( It is possible to completely eliminate the influence of torque (in the direction of loosening the tightening in the conventional water stop valve cartridge), so that the resin water stop as before (considering the loosening due to torque during opening and closing operations) As a result of not having to tightly tighten the valve cartridge into the valve housing portion 120 of the water tap 100, the resin water stop valve cartridge is attached to the valve housing portion 120 of the water tap 100 as in the prior art. It is no longer necessary to use a tool, and can be easily and surely and smoothly attached to the valve accommodating portion 120 of the faucet 100 by manual work, and torque management at the time of mounting as in the past is also unnecessary. As a result, it is possible to make the main parts completely synthetic resin, lightening the synthetic resin, and problems inherent in conventional brass materials (strength reduction due to use and controlled substances) Elution) can be solved completely. Specifically, the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment can be about 1/3 the weight of a conventional metal water stop valve cartridge, and can be significantly reduced in weight. it can. In addition, since conventional metal water stop valve cartridges have the problem of rust and deterioration due to corrosion, the surface may be discolored or rust may flow out (mixed into the water flow). Since the resin water stop valve cartridge is completely made of resin and does not corrode like a metal material, these problems can be solved. In addition, conventional metal water stop valve cartridges may cause health effects due to leaching of components such as lead and cadmium contained in the metal (regulated by the RoHS directive) into water. However, the resin water stop valve cartridge of this embodiment is completely resin, and there is a risk that regulated components may leach out like metal materials. Therefore, these problems can be solved. In addition, conventional metal water stop valve cartridges have a dezincing phenomenon that occurs when brass as a metal material comes into contact with water, causing zinc to dissolve and the brass to deteriorate. However, since the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment is completely made of resin, the problem caused by the dezincification phenomenon can be solved. Furthermore, since the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment can be provided with sufficient strength in spite of the formation of various parts by resin, the overall product dimensions can be compared with the conventional metal water stop valve cartridge. The dimensions can be equivalent, and even in this case, performance equivalent to that of a conventional metal water stop valve cartridge can be exhibited.

[組付時及び取り外し時の作用効果]
上記作用効果に加え、本実施の形態に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ、並びに、当該樹脂製止水弁カートリッジと弁収容部120の嵌合溝123とにより構成される止水構造によれば、以下のような作用効果をも発揮することができる。詳細には、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを水栓の所定の取付対象部120A(図9及び図10の場合の弁収容部120に相当)への組付方法について一般的に説明すると、図14は、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを水栓の所定の取付対象部120Aへ組み付ける場合の組付方法の概要を経時的に示しているが、まず、図14(a)に示すように、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの支持キャップ20側を、取付対象部120Aに形成した樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ装着用の(前記装着部121の内周面により形成される円筒状の収容空間に対応する)円筒状の収容空間の先端(図14中の上端)の開口から当該収容空間内に挿入し、次いで、ハウジング10の嵌合部12を取付対象部120Aの当該収容空間内に挿入すると共に、一対の嵌合突起13を、それぞれ、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の周面に形成した(前記一対の嵌合溝123に相当する)一対の嵌合溝123Aに位置決めして、当該嵌合溝123Aに沿って案内しながら挿入及び嵌合すると、固定キャップ50の基部51の先端(図14中の下端)が、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の開口端(上端)に当接したとき、嵌合部12のみが取付対象部120Aの収容空間内に完全に収容された状態になる。この状態で、固定キャップ50の雄螺子52の軸方向下端位置(最外側位置)が、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の内周面に螺刻形成した(前記雌螺子122に対応する)雌螺子の軸方向上端位置(最外側位置)に当接しており、雄螺子52を取付対象部120Aの雌螺子に螺入する準備状態となっている。この状態から、固定キャップ50の雄螺子52を取付対象部120Aの雌螺子に螺入していくと、固定キャップ50の基部51の雄螺子52を形成した部分が、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の内部へと軸方向に進入すると共に、これに伴い、ハウジング10及び栓棒30も、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の内部へと軸方向に進入する。そして、図14(b)に示すように、固定キャップ50の雄螺子52を取付対象部120Aの雌螺子に完全に螺入すると、基部51の把持部分の先端が、取付対象部120Aの収容空間の開口周縁と当接し、固定キャップ50の取付対象部120Aへの螺入締結が完了して、取付対象部120Aに対する樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの組付けが完了する。即ち、本実施の形態によれば、図14(a)の状態から図14(b)の状態への位置の変化(又は遷移)に示すように、固定キャップ50の取付対象部120Aへの螺入動作に連動(又は同期)して、ハウジング10(及びハウジング10内の構成部品)を取付対象部120Aの収容空間内の所定位置に自動的に挿入して収容保持することができ、作業者の手指による固定キャップ50の締め付け方向(時計回り方向)への回転操作のみによって、止水弁カートリッジの取付対象部120Aへの装着作業を完了することができ、作業性を大幅に向上することができる。
[Effects during assembly and removal]
In addition to the above-described effects, according to the water stop structure of the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment and the resin water stop valve cartridge and the fitting groove 123 of the valve housing portion 120, The following effects can also be exhibited. Specifically, the resin stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment is generally attached to a predetermined attachment target portion 120A of the faucet (corresponding to the valve accommodating portion 120 in the case of FIGS. 9 and 10). To explain, FIG. 14 shows an outline of an assembling method over time when the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment is assembled to the predetermined attachment target portion 120A of the water faucet. As shown to (a), the support cap 20 side of the resin water stop valve cartridge is formed by the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 121 for mounting the resin water stop valve cartridge formed on the mounting target portion 120A. The cylindrical housing space (corresponding to the cylindrical housing space) is inserted into the housing space through the opening (upper end in FIG. 14), and then the fitting portion 12 of the housing 10 is inserted into the mounting target portion 120A. Insert into the containment space Both the pair of fitting protrusions 13 are respectively positioned in a pair of fitting grooves 123A (corresponding to the pair of fitting grooves 123) formed on the peripheral surface of the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A, and the fitting is performed. When inserted and fitted while guiding along the mating groove 123A, the tip of the base 51 (the lower end in FIG. 14) of the fixed cap 50 comes into contact with the opening end (the upper end) of the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A. Only the fitting part 12 is in a state of being completely accommodated in the accommodation space of the attachment target part 120A. In this state, the lower end position (outermost position) in the axial direction of the male screw 52 of the fixing cap 50 is screwed and formed on the inner peripheral surface of the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A (corresponding to the female screw 122). In the axial direction upper end position (outermost position), and the male screw 52 is ready to be screwed into the female screw of the attachment target portion 120A. From this state, when the male screw 52 of the fixing cap 50 is screwed into the female screw of the attachment target portion 120A, the portion where the male screw 52 of the base 51 of the fixing cap 50 is formed is the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A. In the axial direction, the housing 10 and the plug rod 30 also enter the interior of the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A in the axial direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the male screw 52 of the fixing cap 50 is completely screwed into the female screw of the attachment target portion 120A, the tip of the gripping portion of the base 51 becomes the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A. When the fixing cap 50 is screwed into the attachment target portion 120A, the assembly of the resin water stop valve cartridge to the attachment target portion 120A is completed. That is, according to the present embodiment, as shown in the change (or transition) of the position from the state of FIG. 14A to the state of FIG. 14B, the fixing cap 50 is screwed onto the attachment target portion 120A. The housing 10 (and the components in the housing 10) can be automatically inserted into a predetermined position in the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A and accommodated and held in conjunction with (or synchronized with) the entry operation. The operation of attaching the stop valve cartridge to the mounting target portion 120A can be completed only by rotating the fixing cap 50 in the tightening direction (clockwise direction) with the fingers of the finger, and the workability can be greatly improved. it can.

一方、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを水栓の取付対象部120Aから取り外すには、まず、図14(b)に示すように、作業者が、固定キャップ50を手指により把持して反時計回り方向に回転し、雄螺子52を取付対象部120Aの雌螺子から螺退させる。すると、固定キャップ50が、雄螺子52の螺退動作によって取付対象部120Aから軸方向に離間移動するのに伴い(これと連動及び同期して)、固定キャップ50が固定されたハウジング10が、取付対象部120Aから引き出され(又は抜き出され)、基部51の先端が取付対象部120Aの収容空間の開口周縁と当接したとき(即ち、雄螺子52が取付対象部120Aの雌螺子から完全に抜け出たとき)に、取付対象部120Aに対する樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの取り外し作業が完了する。即ち、本実施の形態によれば、図14(b)の状態から図14(a)の状態への位置の変化(又は遷移)に示すように、固定キャップ50の取付対象部120Aから螺退動作に連動(又は同期)して、ハウジング10(及びハウジング10内の構成部品)を取付対象部120Aの収容空間内の所定位置から自動的に抜き出して取り外すことができ、作業者の手指による固定キャップ50を緩める方向(反時計回り方向)への回転操作のみによって、止水弁カートリッジの取付対象部120Aからの取り外し作業を完了することができ、作業性を大幅に向上することができる。   On the other hand, in order to remove the water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment from the faucet attachment target portion 120A, first, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), the operator holds the fixing cap 50 with fingers. Then, it rotates counterclockwise, and the male screw 52 is screwed out of the female screw of the attachment target portion 120A. Then, as the fixing cap 50 moves away from the attachment target portion 120A in the axial direction by the retraction operation of the male screw 52 (in conjunction with and in synchronization with this), the housing 10 to which the fixing cap 50 is fixed is When pulled out (or extracted) from the mounting target portion 120A and the tip of the base 51 abuts against the opening periphery of the accommodation space of the mounting target portion 120A (that is, the male screw 52 is completely removed from the female screw of the mounting target portion 120A). The removal work of the resin water stop valve cartridge with respect to the attachment target portion 120A is completed. That is, according to the present embodiment, as shown in the change (or transition) of the position from the state of FIG. 14B to the state of FIG. The housing 10 (and the components in the housing 10) can be automatically extracted and removed from a predetermined position in the accommodation space of the attachment target portion 120A in conjunction with (or synchronized with) the operation, and can be fixed by the operator's fingers. Only by rotating in the direction of loosening the cap 50 (counterclockwise direction), the operation of removing the water stop valve cartridge from the mounting target portion 120A can be completed, and the workability can be greatly improved.

上記した本実施の形態に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの組付け作業及び取り外し作業の優位性を説明するため、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの構成として図15に示すような構成を採用した場合について説明する。なお、図15に示す樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200は、本発明者が本実施の形態に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの優位性を対比説明する目的で、あくまで比較例として想定したものであり、従来技術として記載するものではない。詳細には、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、上記のとおり、ハウジング10に固定キャップ50を一体的に取付けることで、固定キャップ50を取付対象部120Aに対して締め込み又は緩めるだけで、ハウジング10を連動して取付対象部120Aに収容又は取り外しすることができ、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ全体の取付対象部120Aへの取り付け作業及び取り外し作業を大幅に簡易化することができる構成となっている。これに対し、図15に示すように、かかる固定キャップを備えない樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200の構成を想定した場合、まず、かかる樹脂製カートリッジ200を取付対象部300に装着して抜止不能に固定するためには、図15に示すように、取付対象部300は、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを収容する基部310と、基部310に樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを収容した後に当該樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを上側から押圧して固定する蓋体320とを備える必要がある。   In order to explain the superiority of the assembling operation and the removing operation of the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment described above, the configuration shown in FIG. 15 is adopted as the configuration of the resin water stop valve cartridge. explain. The resin water stop valve cartridge 200 shown in FIG. 15 is assumed as a comparative example only for the purpose of comparing the superiority of the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment. It is not described as prior art. Specifically, in the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment, as described above, the fixing cap 50 is integrally attached to the housing 10 to tighten or loosen the fixing cap 50 with respect to the attachment target portion 120A. Only the housing 10 can be housed or removed in conjunction with the attachment target portion 120A, and the attachment work and the removal work of the entire resin water stop valve cartridge to the attachment target portion 120A can be greatly simplified. It has a configuration. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, when assuming the configuration of the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 that does not include such a fixing cap, first, the resin cartridge 200 is attached to the attachment target portion 300 so that it cannot be removed. In order to fix, as shown in FIG. 15, the attachment target portion 300 includes a base portion 310 that houses a resin water stop valve cartridge, and the resin water stop valve after the resin water stop valve cartridge is housed in the base portion 310. It is necessary to provide a lid 320 that presses and fixes the valve cartridge from above.

この場合、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を取付対象部300に組み付けるには、図15(a)に示すように、取付対象部300の基部310から蓋体320を取り外した状態で、基部310の内部空間に樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を収容し、その後、図15(b)に示すように、基部310の上端に蓋体320を(螺合等によって)締結固定し、基部310の内部空間に収容配置した樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を蓋体320により上側から支持して、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を基部310に対して固定保持する必要がある。また、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を取付対象部300から取り外すには、図15(b)に示す状態から、取付対象部300の基部310から蓋体320を取り外し、基部310の内部空間から樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200を抜き取る必要がある。したがって、比較例に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジの場合、取付対象部300への組付け作業及び取り外し作業のいずれにおいても、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジ200と蓋体310とを別個に取り扱う必要があり、この意味で、本実施の形態に係る樹脂製止水弁カートリッジと比較して作業量が2倍になり、作業が煩雑になって作業性が劣ることになる。したがって、少なくとも作業性の点からも見ても、本実施の形態の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジは、上記ハウジング10及び固定キャップ50の構成により顕著な特有の作用効果を発揮するものとなっている。   In this case, in order to assemble the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 to the attachment target portion 300, as shown in FIG. 15A, with the lid 320 removed from the base portion 310 of the attachment target portion 300, The resin water stop valve cartridge 200 is accommodated in the internal space, and then, as shown in FIG. 15B, a lid 320 is fastened and fixed to the upper end of the base portion 310 (by screwing or the like). It is necessary to support the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 accommodated in the housing from the upper side by the lid 320 and to fix and hold the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 to the base portion 310. Further, in order to remove the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 from the attachment target portion 300, the lid 320 is removed from the base 310 of the attachment target portion 300 from the state shown in FIG. It is necessary to remove the water stop valve cartridge 200. Therefore, in the case of the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the comparative example, it is necessary to handle the resin water stop valve cartridge 200 and the lid 310 separately in any of the assembling work and the detaching work from the attachment target portion 300. In this sense, the amount of work is doubled compared to the resin water stop valve cartridge according to the present embodiment, the work becomes complicated, and workability is inferior. Therefore, at least also from the viewpoint of workability, the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present embodiment exhibits a distinctive effect by the configuration of the housing 10 and the fixed cap 50. .

[使用材料]
ところで、本発明の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジでは、ハウジング10は、上記PSS樹脂により一体成形する以外にも、合成樹脂材料中で相対的に高い強度を有する任意の合成樹脂により、即ち、PSS樹脂と同等の機械的強度(引っ張り強度150MPa、曲げ強度215MPa程度の強度)を確保できる他の合成樹脂により一体成形してもよい。しかし、機械的強度に加え、精密成形性による寸法精度の確保、並びに、寸法精度の確保による更なる機械的強度の向上を図ることができるという点からは、PSS樹脂を使用することが最も好ましい。また、栓棒30は、上記POM樹脂により一体成形する以外にも、合成樹脂材料中で相対的に低い摩擦係数任意の合成樹脂により、即ち、POM樹脂と同等の低摺動抵抗(0.15程度の摩擦係数)を確保できる他の合成樹脂により一体成形してもよい。
[Materials used]
By the way, in the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present invention, the housing 10 is made of any synthetic resin having relatively high strength in the synthetic resin material, that is, the PSS resin, in addition to the integral molding of the PSS resin. May be integrally formed with another synthetic resin that can ensure the same mechanical strength (tensile strength of about 150 MPa and bending strength of about 215 MPa). However, it is most preferable to use PSS resin from the viewpoint that in addition to mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy can be ensured by precision moldability and further mechanical strength can be improved by ensuring dimensional accuracy. . Besides, the stopper rod 30 is not integrally formed with the POM resin, but is made of a synthetic resin having a relatively low friction coefficient in the synthetic resin material, that is, a low sliding resistance (0.15 equivalent to that of the POM resin). Alternatively, it may be integrally formed with another synthetic resin that can ensure a certain degree of friction coefficient.

また、本発明の樹脂製止水弁カートリッジでは、固定キャップ50は、止めリング61でハウジング10に対して軸方向への移動不能(特に、抜止不能)に固定しない場合でも、弁収容部120の装着部121への螺入時には、少なくとも、ハウジング10を連動して弁収容部120の装着部121の内部空間に押し込むことができる。よって、かかる止めリング61を省略して、固定キャップ50をハウジング10の基端側に単に(止めリング61のような軸方向への抜止用の部材等は設けることなく)取り付ける構成として、少なくとも、ハウジング10を押圧する方向においてはハウジング10と作用的に連結する(即ち、固定キャップ50がハウジング10を軸方向に押圧する方向に移動するときに、当該ハウジング10を当該押圧方向に押圧できるように取り付ける)よう構成することもできる。この場合でも、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを水栓本体100の弁収容部120に装着する上での支障はない。しかし、樹脂製止水弁カートリッジを水栓本体100の弁収容部120から取り外すときに、固定キャップ50と共にハウジング10を連動して弁収容部120から引き抜くには、止めリング61等の抜止部材によって固定キャップ50をハウジング10に対して軸方向への抜止不能に固定しておく構成が必要となる。   Further, in the resin water stop valve cartridge of the present invention, even if the fixing cap 50 is not fixed to the housing 10 so that it cannot move in the axial direction (particularly, cannot be removed) with the retaining ring 61, At the time of screwing into the mounting part 121, at least the housing 10 can be interlocked and pushed into the internal space of the mounting part 121 of the valve housing part 120. Therefore, at least as a configuration in which the retaining ring 61 is omitted and the fixing cap 50 is simply attached to the proximal end side of the housing 10 (without providing a member for axial removal such as the retaining ring 61), In the direction in which the housing 10 is pressed, the housing 10 is operatively connected (that is, when the fixing cap 50 moves in the direction in which the housing 10 is pressed in the axial direction, the housing 10 can be pressed in the pressing direction). It can also be configured. Even in this case, there is no problem in mounting the resin water stop valve cartridge in the valve housing portion 120 of the faucet body 100. However, when the resin stop valve cartridge is removed from the valve housing part 120 of the faucet body 100, a retaining member such as the retaining ring 61 is used to pull the housing 10 together with the fixing cap 50 from the valve housing part 120. A configuration is necessary in which the fixing cap 50 is fixed to the housing 10 so as not to be able to be removed in the axial direction.
