The rack gear 122 that rotates around X2 and meshes with the pinion gear 121 moves linearly. When the rack gear 122 moves linearly, the one end 3a of the long member 3 engaged with the rack gear 122 also moves in the same direction as the movement direction of the rack gear 122, and the long member 3 is pulled and moved in the axis X direction. . In the present embodiment, the pinion gear 121 and the rack gear 122 convert the rotational motion about the shaft support portion 11c at the base end portion of the swinging portion 11b into the linear motion of the long member 3, but the rotational motion The movement conversion mechanism that can convert the movement into the linear movement is the movement of the lever body 11a in the axial direction of the long member 3 between the proximal end portion of the swinging portion 11b and the one end portion of the long member 3 by the tilting operation. It suffices if it is provided so as to be convertible. As will be described later, the motion conversion mechanism is a surface that receives a force due to the rotational motion of the operation side lever portion 11 around the axis of the operation side lever portion 11 (for example, in the present embodiment, the surface of the rack gear 122). Side). This motion conversion mechanism rotates by receiving a force due to the rotational motion of the operation side lever portion 11 and can rotate the long member 3 around the axis X.

また、本実施形態では、操作機構1は基体Bに対して軸X周りに回転可能に取り付けられている。より具体的には、レバー本体11aが軸X周りに回転操作されると、図1および図3に示されるように、操作側伝達部12および操作側筐体13が基体Bに対して軸X周りに回転する。操作側伝達部12および操作側筐体13が回転すると、長尺部材接続部Cに一端3aが取り付けられた長尺部材3は軸X周りに回転する。このとき、操作機構1全体の回転軸と長尺部材3の軸Xとは、長尺部材接続部Cの位置において同軸上に配置されているので、操作機構1の回転動作によって、長尺部材3が軸X周りに円滑に回転する。   In the present embodiment, the operation mechanism 1 is attached to the base B so as to be rotatable around the axis X. More specifically, when the lever main body 11a is rotated around the axis X, the operation-side transmission unit 12 and the operation-side housing 13 are moved relative to the base B with respect to the axis X as shown in FIGS. Rotate around. When the operation-side transmission unit 12 and the operation-side casing 13 rotate, the long member 3 having the one end 3a attached to the long member connection unit C rotates about the axis X. At this time, since the rotation axis of the entire operation mechanism 1 and the axis X of the long member 3 are arranged coaxially at the position of the long member connecting portion C, the long member is rotated by the rotation of the operation mechanism 1. 3 rotates smoothly around the axis X.

なお、上記操作機構1の構造は一例であり、操作機構1は、長尺部材3の回転操作と軸X方向操作とを行うことができれば、その形状や構造は特に限定されない。たとえば、操作機構1は、操作側レバー部11を回転操作および直線操作することにより長尺部材3の回転操作と軸X方向操作を行う機構や、操作側レバー部11に方向の異なる2つの直線操作を加えることにより長尺部材3の回転操作と軸X方向操作を行う機構としてもよい。   In addition, the structure of the said operation mechanism 1 is an example, and if the operation mechanism 1 can perform rotation operation of the elongate member 3, and an axial X direction operation, the shape and structure will not be specifically limited. For example, the operation mechanism 1 includes a mechanism that performs a rotation operation and an axial X-direction operation of the long member 3 by rotating and linearly operating the operation side lever portion 11, and two straight lines having different directions with respect to the operation side lever portion 11. It is good also as a mechanism which performs rotation operation of the elongate member 3, and an axial X direction operation by adding operation.

長尺部材3は、操作機構1により操作された際に、長尺部材3の軸X方向(長手方向)に沿う移動と、長尺部材3の軸X周りの回転動作との両方の動作を行い、操作機構1へ加えられた操作力を操作力伝達機構4に伝達する。長尺部材3は、一端3aおよび他端3bが操作機構1および操作力伝達機構4にそれぞれ取り付けられ、操作機構1と操作力伝達機構4との間に配置されている。なお、長尺部材3の他端3bは、上述した長尺部材3の一端3aと同様の取付方法で取り付けることができる。   When the long member 3 is operated by the operation mechanism 1, both the movement along the axis X direction (longitudinal direction) of the long member 3 and the rotation operation around the axis X of the long member 3 are performed. The operation force applied to the operation mechanism 1 is transmitted to the operation force transmission mechanism 4. The long member 3 has one end 3 a and the other end 3 b attached to the operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4, respectively, and is disposed between the operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4. In addition, the other end 3b of the elongate member 3 can be attached by the same attachment method as the one end 3a of the elongate member 3 mentioned above.

長尺部材3は、操作機構1により操作された際に、軸X周りの回転動作と軸X方向への動作とを行って、操作力伝達機構4に操作機構1の操作力を伝達できる部材であり、たとえば、ケーブルやロッドを用いることができる。本実施形態では、長尺部材3としてトルクケーブルが用いられている。長尺部材3にトルクケーブルを用いることにより、長尺部材3を湾曲して配索することが可能で、湾曲した配索経路においても、操作機構1に加えられた操作力を長尺部材3を介して操作力伝達機構4へと伝えることができる。したがって、操作装置Dを簡単な構成で、操作機構1から操作力伝達機構4へ操作力を容易に伝達して、操作対象物2を操作することができる。また、長尺部材3にトルクケーブルを用いることにより、長尺部材3を湾曲して配索してもトルクの伝達が可能であるため、操作機構1や操作力伝達機構4を設ける位置などの制約が少なく、操作装置Dのレイアウトの自由度が高くなる。   The long member 3 is a member capable of transmitting the operation force of the operation mechanism 1 to the operation force transmission mechanism 4 by performing a rotation operation around the axis X and an operation in the direction of the axis X when operated by the operation mechanism 1. For example, a cable or a rod can be used. In the present embodiment, a torque cable is used as the long member 3. By using a torque cable for the long member 3, the long member 3 can be curved and routed, and the operating force applied to the operation mechanism 1 is also applied to the long member 3 even in the curved routing route. Can be transmitted to the operating force transmission mechanism 4. Therefore, the operation device D can be operated by easily transmitting the operation force from the operation mechanism 1 to the operation force transmission mechanism 4 with a simple configuration. Further, by using a torque cable for the long member 3, torque can be transmitted even if the long member 3 is bent and routed, so that the position where the operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4 are provided, etc. There are few restrictions and the freedom degree of the layout of the operating device D becomes high.

本実施形態では、トルクケーブルとして示された長尺部材3は、図1に示されるように、アウターケーシング31内に挿通され、アウターケーシング31内を摺動する。トルクケーブル(長尺部材)がアウターケーシングに挿通されることで、トルクケーブルを保護することができる。本実施形態では、アウターケーシング31の一端および他端は、操作機構1および操作力伝達機構4にそれぞれ取り付けられている。本実施形態では、図1に示されるように、アウターケーシング31の一端および他端には、それぞれケーシングキャップ31a、31bが設けられ、ケーシングキャップ31a、31bが操作機構1および操作力伝達機構4にそれぞれ取り付けられている。アウターケーシング31のケーシングキャップ31a、31bは、たとえば、操作機構1および操作力伝達機構4が設けられる基体B等の取付部に対して、軸X周りに回転しないように固定される。一方、後述するように、操作機構1、長尺部材3および操作力伝達機構4が軸X周りに回転動作を行う際には、アウターケーシング31が上記の回転動作にともなって回転しないように、操作機構1および操作力伝達機構4がケーシングキャップ31a、31bに対して回転できるように互いに取り付けられる。   In the present embodiment, the long member 3 shown as a torque cable is inserted into the outer casing 31 and slides in the outer casing 31 as shown in FIG. The torque cable can be protected by inserting the torque cable (long member) through the outer casing. In the present embodiment, one end and the other end of the outer casing 31 are respectively attached to the operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, casing caps 31 a and 31 b are respectively provided at one end and the other end of the outer casing 31, and the casing caps 31 a and 31 b serve as the operating mechanism 1 and the operating force transmission mechanism 4. Each is attached. The casing caps 31a and 31b of the outer casing 31 are fixed so as not to rotate around the axis X, for example, with respect to an attachment portion such as the base B on which the operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4 are provided. On the other hand, as will be described later, when the operation mechanism 1, the long member 3 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4 rotate around the axis X, the outer casing 31 does not rotate with the rotation operation described above. The operation mechanism 1 and the operation force transmission mechanism 4 are attached to each other so as to be rotatable with respect to the casing caps 31a and 31b.

長尺部材3は、上述したように軸X周り方向の回転動作と、軸X方向の動作とを行い、長尺部材3から操作力伝達機構4に操作力を伝達する。操作力伝達機構4については後述するが、操作力伝達機構4から操作対象物2にさらに操作力が伝達されることで、操作対象物2に対して2種類の操作がなされる。   As described above, the elongate member 3 performs the rotation operation around the axis X and the operation in the axis X direction, and transmits the operation force from the elongate member 3 to the operation force transmission mechanism 4. Although the operation force transmission mechanism 4 will be described later, when the operation force is further transmitted from the operation force transmission mechanism 4 to the operation target object 2, two types of operations are performed on the operation target object 2.

操作対象物2は、操作機構1により操作される1の長尺部材3により、操作力伝達機構4を介して少なくとも2種類の操作がなされる部位である。操作対象物2は、本実施形態では、混合栓において、水量の調節と、水とお湯との混合割合の調節とを行う調節機構として示されているが、操作対象物2は混合栓用の調節機構に限定されず、少なくとも2種類の異なる操作がなされる作動装置であればよい。操作対象物2は、特に、軸周り方向の回転運動と、当該回転方向を含む面に対して、垂直な面上の回転運動または垂直な方向の移動運動との2つの異なる方向の移動操作を有することが好ましい。なお、操作対象物2は、最終的な操作対象である必要はなく、最終的な操作対象と操作機構1の間の中間操作対象であってもよい。   The operation target object 2 is a part where at least two types of operations are performed by the one long member 3 operated by the operation mechanism 1 via the operation force transmission mechanism 4. In the present embodiment, the operation target object 2 is shown as an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the amount of water and the mixing ratio of water and hot water in the mixing plug, but the operation target object 2 is used for the mixing plug. The actuator is not limited to the adjusting mechanism, and may be any actuator that can perform at least two different operations. In particular, the operation object 2 performs a movement operation in two different directions, that is, a rotation movement in the direction around the axis and a rotation movement on a vertical plane or a movement movement in a vertical direction with respect to a plane including the rotation direction. It is preferable to have. The operation object 2 does not need to be a final operation object, and may be an intermediate operation object between the final operation object and the operation mechanism 1.

操作対象物2は、図1および図4に示されるように、回転方向の力を受けて回転する回転作動部21と直線方向の力を受けて移動する直線作動部22とを有している。本実施形態では、長尺部材3の軸X周り方向の回転によって、操作対象物2の回転作動部21が回転し、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動によって、操作対象物2の直線作動部22が移動して、操作対象物2に少なくとも2種類の操作がなされる。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the operation object 2 includes a rotation operation unit 21 that rotates by receiving a force in the rotation direction and a linear operation unit 22 that moves by receiving a force in the linear direction. . In the present embodiment, the rotation operation portion 21 of the operation target object 2 is rotated by the rotation of the long member 3 in the direction around the axis X, and the linear operation of the operation target object 2 is performed by the movement of the long member 3 in the axis X direction. The unit 22 moves and at least two types of operations are performed on the operation target object 2.

回転作動部21は、長尺部材3の軸X周りの回転による回転方向の力を直接または間接的に受けて回転する。回転作動部21の回転作動によって、操作装置Dの少なくとも2種類の操作のうちの1の操作が行われる。本実施形態では、回転作動部21の回転作動により、操作対象物2の水量調節および混合調節のうち、混合調節のための操作が行われる。本実施形態では、回転作動部21の回転軸は、操作力伝達機構4に取り付けられた長尺部材3の他端3bにおける軸Xと同軸となるように操作対象物2が設けられ、回転作動部21は、長尺部材3の軸Xと同軸となる回転軸周りに回転する。これにより、長尺部材3が回転したときに回転作動部21は安定して円滑に回転することができる。   The rotation operation unit 21 rotates directly or indirectly by receiving a force in the rotation direction due to the rotation of the long member 3 around the axis X. One of the at least two types of operations of the controller device D is performed by the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 21. In the present embodiment, the operation for mixing adjustment among the water amount adjustment and the mixing adjustment of the operation target object 2 is performed by the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 21. In the present embodiment, the operation object 2 is provided so that the rotation axis of the rotation operation unit 21 is coaxial with the axis X at the other end 3b of the long member 3 attached to the operation force transmission mechanism 4, and the rotation operation is performed. The part 21 rotates around a rotation axis that is coaxial with the axis X of the long member 3. Thereby, when the elongate member 3 rotates, the rotation action part 21 can rotate stably and smoothly.

直線作動部22は、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動により直線方向の力を直接または間接的に受けることによって移動する。直線作動部22の移動方向は、特に限定されないが、本実施形態では、回転作動部21の回転軸方向と交差するように設けられている。本実施形態では、直線作動部22は、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動により傾倒するように作動しているものを示している。しかし、直線作動部22は、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動に起因して移動することができればよく、回転作動部21の回転軸方向と交差して直線状に移動するものでもよいし、所定の軸周りに回転移動するものであってもよい。直線作動部22の移動によって、2種類の操作のうち、回転作動部21による操作とは異なる他の操作が行われる。本実施形態では、直線作動部22の作動により、操作対象物2の水量調節および混合調節のうち、水量調節のための操作が行われる。   The linear operation unit 22 moves by receiving a force in the linear direction directly or indirectly by the movement of the long member 3 in the axis X direction. Although the moving direction of the linear action | operation part 22 is not specifically limited, In this embodiment, it is provided so that the rotation axis direction of the rotation action | operation part 21 may be crossed. In this embodiment, the linear action | operation part 22 has shown what is operate | moving so that it may incline by the movement of the elongate member 3 in the axis | shaft X direction. However, the linear actuating part 22 only needs to be able to move due to the movement of the long member 3 in the axis X direction, and may be one that moves linearly across the rotational axis direction of the rotary actuating part 21. Further, it may be one that rotates around a predetermined axis. Of the two types of operations, another operation different from the operation by the rotation operation unit 21 is performed by the movement of the linear operation unit 22. In the present embodiment, the operation for adjusting the water amount is performed among the water amount adjustment and the mixing adjustment of the operation target object 2 by the operation of the linear operation unit 22.

本実施形態では、操作対象物2は、図1、図4に示されるように、水量調節と、混合調節とを行う混合栓用のカートリッジとして示されている。混合栓用のカートリッジは公知であるため、詳細な説明は省略するが、操作対象物2は、ケース23と、固定ディスク24と、移動体25と、作動部材ACとを備えている。ケース23には、給水管P1、給湯管および流出管P2が接続される。固定ディスク24は、ケース23内に収容され、給水管P1、給湯管および流出管P2からの水を通過させる給水口24a、給湯口24b、流出口24cが形成される。移動体25は、給水口24aおよび給湯口24bとから供給された水およびお湯を混合する混合室25a(図6および図7参照)を有し、ケース23内で移動することにより、給水口24aおよび給湯口24bの開口面積を調整する。作動部材ACは、移動体25に接続され、移動体25を移動させる。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the operation target object 2 is shown as a mixing plug cartridge that performs water volume adjustment and mixing adjustment. Since the cartridge for the mixing stopper is known, the detailed description is omitted, but the operation target 2 includes a case 23, a fixed disk 24, a moving body 25, and an operating member AC. A water supply pipe P1, a hot water supply pipe, and an outflow pipe P2 are connected to the case 23. The fixed disk 24 is accommodated in the case 23, and a water supply port 24a, a hot water supply port 24b, and an outflow port 24c through which water from the water supply pipe P1, the hot water supply pipe and the outflow pipe P2 passes are formed. The moving body 25 has a mixing chamber 25a (see FIGS. 6 and 7) that mixes water and hot water supplied from the water supply port 24a and the hot water supply port 24b, and moves in the case 23 to move the water supply port 24a. And the opening area of the hot-water supply port 24b is adjusted. The actuating member AC is connected to the moving body 25 and moves the moving body 25.

本実施形態では、作動部材ACが上述した回転作動部21と直線作動部22とを備えている。本実施形態では、直線作動部22は、傾倒して操作するレバーとして示されている。レバー状の直線作動部22は、図6および図7に示されるように、作動部材ACにおいて、回転作動部21の回転軸に対して略垂直な方向に延びる軸(図示せず)に軸支され、直線作動部22が傾動できるように構成されている。直線作動部22は、移動体25側にギア部22aを有しており、移動体25に設けられたラック部25bにギア部22aが噛み合うように構成されている。より詳細には、図4に示されるように、筒状の移動体25の一方の端面側に凹部25cが形成され、その凹部25c内に移動体25のラック部25bが形成され、ギア部22aが凹部25c内に入り込んだ状態でラック部25bに噛み合うように構成されている。   In this embodiment, the operation member AC includes the rotation operation unit 21 and the linear operation unit 22 described above. In this embodiment, the linear action part 22 is shown as a lever which operates by tilting. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lever-like linear operation portion 22 is pivotally supported on an axis (not shown) extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotation operation portion 21 in the operation member AC. Thus, the linear actuating part 22 is configured to be tiltable. The linear actuator 22 has a gear portion 22 a on the moving body 25 side, and is configured such that the gear portion 22 a meshes with a rack portion 25 b provided on the moving body 25. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a concave portion 25c is formed on one end face side of the cylindrical moving body 25, a rack portion 25b of the moving body 25 is formed in the concave portion 25c, and a gear portion 22a. Is configured to mesh with the rack portion 25b in a state of entering the recess 25c.

本実施形態では、回転作動部21が回転すると、凹部25cに入り込んだギア部22aが凹部25cの内壁と当接して作動部材ACと移動体25とを共に回転させて、給水口24aと給湯口24bとの開口割合を調節して、混合室25aに入る水およびお湯の量を調節して混合調節を行っている。また、直線作動部22が傾倒して操作されると、図6および図7に示されるように、直線作動部22のギア部22aと噛み合うラック部25bが操作されることにより、移動体25がケース23内で軸Xに対する垂直方向に移動する。これにより、給水口24aおよび給湯口24bの開口面積を増減させて、水量の調節が行われる。   In the present embodiment, when the rotation actuating part 21 rotates, the gear part 22a that has entered the recess 25c contacts the inner wall of the recess 25c to rotate the actuating member AC and the moving body 25 together, so that the water supply port 24a and the hot water supply port The mixing ratio is adjusted by adjusting the opening ratio to 24b and adjusting the amount of water and hot water entering the mixing chamber 25a. When the linear operation unit 22 is operated while being tilted, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rack unit 25 b that meshes with the gear unit 22 a of the linear operation unit 22 is operated, whereby the moving body 25 is moved. It moves in the case 23 in the direction perpendicular to the axis X. Thereby, the opening area of the water supply port 24a and the hot water supply port 24b is increased / decreased, and the amount of water is adjusted.

なお、上述したように、操作対象物2は、混合栓用の調節機構に限定されるものではなく、回転作動部21および直線作動部22を有し、これらが1つの長尺部材3により2種類の操作が可能であれば、他の構造であってもよい。   As described above, the operation object 2 is not limited to the adjusting mechanism for the mixing plug, but includes the rotation operation unit 21 and the linear operation unit 22, which are 2 by one long member 3. Other structures may be used as long as the operation of the kind is possible.

操作力伝達機構4は、長尺部材3から伝達された操作力を、操作対象物2に伝達することで、操作対象物2を操作する。操作力伝達機構4は、長尺部材3が軸X周りに回転すると、操作対象物2の回転作動部21を回転させて、操作力を回転作動部21に伝達する。また、操作力伝達機構4は、長尺部材3が軸X方向に移動すると、操作対象物2の直線作動部22を移動させて、操作力を直線作動部22に伝達する。   The operation force transmission mechanism 4 operates the operation target 2 by transmitting the operation force transmitted from the long member 3 to the operation target 2. When the elongate member 3 rotates around the axis X, the operation force transmission mechanism 4 rotates the rotation operation unit 21 of the operation object 2 and transmits the operation force to the rotation operation unit 21. Further, when the long member 3 moves in the axis X direction, the operation force transmission mechanism 4 moves the linear operation unit 22 of the operation target 2 and transmits the operation force to the linear operation unit 22.

操作力伝達機構4は、図1に示されるように、長尺部材3の他端3bに接続する直線移動部41と、直線作動部22と直線移動部41とに接続する回転変換部42と、回転作動部21と直線移動部41とに接続する回転伝達部43とを有している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the operating force transmission mechanism 4 includes a linear movement unit 41 connected to the other end 3 b of the long member 3, a rotation conversion unit 42 connected to the linear operation unit 22 and the linear movement unit 41, and The rotation transmission unit 43 is connected to the rotation operation unit 21 and the linear movement unit 41.

直線移動部41は、長尺部材3の他端3bが接続され、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動により直線移動する。直線移動部41は、図1および図2に示されるように、直線移動することにより、回転変換部42を介して操作対象物2の直線作動部22を作動させる。直線移動部41は、長尺部材3の他端3bが接続される長尺部材接続部Cを有している。長尺部材接続部Cは、長尺部材3の軸X周りの回転動作および軸X方向の移動が直線移動部41に伝達されるように、長尺部材3の他端3bが接続される。長尺部材3の他端3bの接続方法は、特に限定されず、長尺部材3の他端3bの周方向および軸方向で、他端3bの端部と長尺部材接続部Cとが係合するように構成してもよいし、長尺部材接続部Cに接着、溶接等により固定してもよい。長尺部材3の他端3bは、例えば、長尺部材3の本体よりも径が大きく、横断面が六角形等の多角形であるエンド部材(例えば公知のケーブルエンド)を用いることもできる。   The linear movement part 41 is connected to the other end 3b of the long member 3 and linearly moves by the movement of the long member 3 in the axis X direction. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the linear movement unit 41 operates the linear operation unit 22 of the operation target object 2 via the rotation conversion unit 42 by moving linearly. The linear moving portion 41 has a long member connection portion C to which the other end 3b of the long member 3 is connected. The long member connecting portion C is connected to the other end 3b of the long member 3 so that the rotation of the long member 3 around the axis X and the movement in the direction of the axis X are transmitted to the linear moving portion 41. The connection method of the other end 3b of the elongate member 3 is not particularly limited, and the end of the other end 3b and the elongate member connection portion C are engaged in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the other end 3b of the elongate member 3. You may comprise so that it may match, and you may fix to the elongate member connection part C by adhesion | attachment, welding, etc. The other end 3b of the long member 3 may be an end member (for example, a known cable end) having a larger diameter than the main body of the long member 3 and a polygonal cross section such as a hexagon.

回転変換部42は、長尺部材3の軸X方向の移動による直線移動部41の直線移動を回転運動に変換して、直線作動部22を移動させるように構成されている。回転変換部42は、直線移動部41と、操作対象物2の直線作動部22とに直接または間接的に接続され、直線移動部41の直線移動による操作力を直線作動部22に伝達する。回転変換部42は、直線移動部41の直線移動を回転移動に変換して直線作動部22へ操作力を伝達する。なお、本実施形態では、回転変換部42は、直線作動部22を回転させるように力を伝達しているが、たとえば、直線作動部22と回転変換部42との間に別部材を設けて、直線作動部22を直線動作させるように力を伝達しても構わない。   The rotation converting unit 42 is configured to convert the linear movement of the linear moving unit 41 due to the movement of the long member 3 in the axis X direction into a rotational motion and move the linear operating unit 22. The rotation conversion unit 42 is directly or indirectly connected to the linear movement unit 41 and the linear operation unit 22 of the operation target 2, and transmits the operation force generated by the linear movement of the linear movement unit 41 to the linear operation unit 22. The rotation conversion unit 42 converts the linear movement of the linear movement unit 41 into a rotational movement and transmits the operation force to the linear operation unit 22. In the present embodiment, the rotation conversion unit 42 transmits force so as to rotate the linear operation unit 22. For example, a separate member is provided between the linear operation unit 22 and the rotation conversion unit 42. The force may be transmitted so that the linear operation unit 22 is operated linearly.

本実施形態では、操作力伝達機構4は、操作力伝達機構側筐体44を備え、直線移動部41は、操作力伝達機構側筐体44に形成された収容部44a内に軸X方向に移動可能に設けられている。本実施形態では、図1に示されるように、直線移動部41にはラックギア410が設けられている。ラックギア410は収容部44a内に、軸X方向に移動可能に設けられている。ラックギア410は、歯列を有するラック部410aと、ラック部410aからラック部410aの移動方向に交差する方向に延びる延在部410bとを有し、全体として略L字状に形成されている。本実施形態では、延在部410bに長尺部材接続部Cが設けられ、長尺部材3の他端3bが接続されている。   In the present embodiment, the operation force transmission mechanism 4 includes an operation force transmission mechanism side housing 44, and the linear movement unit 41 is arranged in the axis X direction in a housing portion 44 a formed in the operation force transmission mechanism side housing 44. It is provided to be movable. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a rack gear 410 is provided in the linear movement unit 41. The rack gear 410 is provided in the housing portion 44a so as to be movable in the axis X direction.

And a pinion gear 420b. Note that two pinion gears 420 may be provided as in the present embodiment, but one or more pinion gears 420 may be provided. Moreover, the rotation conversion part 42 does not need to have teeth formed on the entire circumference as in the present embodiment, and may be a part of the entire circumference formed with teeth or a sector gear.

直線移動部41の直線運動が回転変換部42により回転運動に変換された操作力は、操作対象物2の直線作動部22に伝達される。本実施形態では、回転変換部42により回転運動に変換された回転力が伝達される直線作動部22は、図1に示されるように、レバー22bと、レバー22bに設けられ、レバー22bの延在方向に歯列が設けられて、旋回することでレバー22bを傾倒させるセクタギア22cとを有している。本実施形態では、回転変換部42のピニオンギア420が、セクタギア22cの歯列と歯合してレバー22bを傾倒させる。より具体的には、本実施形態では、図1および図2に示されるように、小径のピニオンギア420aが、ラックギア410と噛み合い、直線移動部41が直線移動することにより小径のピニオンギア420aが回転し、小径のピニオンギア420aの回転により大径のピニオンギア420bが回転する。大径のピニオンギア420bが回転することにより、直線作動部22となるレバー22bに設けられたセクタギア22cが回転して、直線作動部22が作動する。   The operation force obtained by converting the linear motion of the linear movement unit 41 into the rotational motion by the rotation conversion unit 42 is transmitted to the linear operation unit 22 of the operation target 2.

As the large-diameter pinion gear 420b rotates, the sector gear 22c provided on the lever 22b serving as the linear operating unit 22 rotates, and the linear operating unit 22 operates.

なお、直線移動部および回転変換部は、上記実施形態ではラックアンドピニオン機構として示しているが、直線移動部の直線移動を回転運動に変換する機構は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。たとえば、直線送りインデックスカム機構など、直線移動を回転運動に変換する他の公知の機構を用いても構わない。また、本実施形態では、回転変換部により変換された回転運動は、直線作動部22の傾倒動作させるように構成されているが、回転変換部の回転運動が、直線作動部22の直線動作として伝達されてもよい。   In addition, although the linear movement part and the rotation conversion part are shown as a rack and pinion mechanism in the said embodiment, the mechanism which converts the linear movement of a linear movement part into a rotational motion is not limited to the said embodiment. . For example, other known mechanisms that convert linear movement into rotational motion, such as a linear feed index cam mechanism, may be used.

回転伝達部43は、長尺部材3により操作力伝達機構4に加わった回転力を、操作対象物2に伝達する。より具体的には、回転伝達部43は、長尺部材3の軸X周り方向の回転による長尺部材3の延在方向を回転軸とした直線移動部41の旋回によって、回転されて回転作動部21を回転させる。本実施形態では、図1および図3に示されるように、長尺部材3が軸X周りに回転すると、長尺部材3の他端3bが接続された直線移動部41は長尺部材3の他端3bから軸X周りに旋回するように力を受ける。本実施形態では、直線移動部41が軸X周りに旋回するように力を受けたときに、回転伝達部43が直線移動部41とともに軸X周りに回転するように、直線移動部41が構成されている。具体的には、本実施形態では、直線移動部41の旋回による回転力が、回転伝達部43となる操作力伝達機構側筐体44に伝わるように、操作力伝達機構側筐体44の収容部44aに収容されている。本実施形態では、収容部44aに収容された直線移動部41が旋回しようとすると、収容部44aの内壁と直線移動部41が当接し、直線移動部41と操作力伝達機構側筐体44とがともに軸X周りに回転する。すなわち、旋回しようとする直線移動部41が収容部44aの内壁を押すことで、操作力伝達機構側筐体44が軸X周りに回転する。操作力伝達機構側筐体44が軸X周りに回転すると、操作力伝達機構側筐体44内に設けられたセクタギア22cおよびレバー22bを含む回転作動部21も軸X周りに回転する。操作対象物2のケース23は基体B等に固定されているので、回転作動部21が操作対象物2において軸X周りに回転する。ここで、回転伝達部43の回転中心は長尺部材3の軸Xと略一致し、回転伝達部43により回転される回転作動部21の回転中心は、回転作動部43の回転中心と同軸上となるように、操作対象物2が配置されている。そのため、操作力伝達機構4の回転伝達部43は、回転作動部21を安定して円滑に回転させることができる。なお、本実施形態では、説明の便宜上、回転伝達部43を操作力伝達機構側筐体44として示しているが、回転伝達部43は、直線移動部41の軸Xを中心とする旋回によって、回転作動部21に軸Xを中心とする回転力を与えるものであればよく、筐体である必要はない。また、回転作動部21の回転は、図1に示される状態のように直線作動部22の延びる方向が軸Xと一致した状態で回転してもよいし、図2に示されるように、直線作動部22の延びる方向が軸Xからずれた状態で回転してもよい。本実施形態では、いずれの状態でも回転作動部21が回転できるので、流出管P2に流出される混合水の量、ひいては蛇口から吐出される混合水の量を調節することができる。   The rotation transmission unit 43 transmits the rotation force applied to the operation force transmission mechanism 4 by the long member 3 to the operation object 2. More specifically, the rotation transmission unit 43 is rotated and rotated by turning of the linear moving unit 41 with the extending direction of the long member 3 as a rotation axis by the rotation of the long member 3 around the axis X. The part 21 is rotated. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the long member 3 rotates around the axis X, the linear moving portion 41 to which the other end 3 b of the long member 3 is connected is A force is received from the other end 3b so as to turn around the axis X. In the present embodiment, the linear moving unit 41 is configured such that the rotation transmitting unit 43 rotates around the axis X together with the linear moving unit 41 when receiving a force so that the linear moving unit 41 turns around the axis X. Has been. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the operation force transmission mechanism-side housing 44 is accommodated so that the rotational force generated by the turning of the linear movement unit 41 is transmitted to the operation force transmission mechanism-side housing 44 serving as the rotation transmission unit 43. It is accommodated in the part 44a. In this embodiment, when the linear moving part 41 accommodated in the accommodating part 44a tries to turn, the inner wall of the accommodating part 44a and the linear moving part 41 come into contact with each other, and the linear moving part 41 and the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 Both rotate about the axis X. That is, the operation force transmission mechanism side housing 44 rotates around the axis X when the linear moving portion 41 to turn turns pushes the inner wall of the housing portion 44a. When the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 rotates around the axis X, the rotation operation unit 21 including the sector gear 22c and the lever 22b provided in the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 also rotates around the axis X. Since the case 23 of the operation target object 2 is fixed to the base B or the like, the rotation operation unit 21 rotates around the axis X in the operation target object 2. Here, the rotation center of the rotation transmission unit 43 substantially coincides with the axis X of the long member 3, and the rotation center of the rotation operation unit 21 rotated by the rotation transmission unit 43 is coaxial with the rotation center of the rotation operation unit 43. The operation object 2 is arranged so that Therefore, the rotation transmission part 43 of the operating force transmission mechanism 4 can rotate the rotation action part 21 stably and smoothly. In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the rotation transmission unit 43 is shown as the operation force transmission mechanism side housing 44, but the rotation transmission unit 43 is turned by turning around the axis X of the linear movement unit 41. What is necessary is just to give the rotational force centering on the axis | shaft X to the rotation action part 21, and it does not need to be a housing | casing. Further, the rotation of the rotation operation unit 21 may be performed in a state in which the direction in which the linear operation unit 22 extends coincides with the axis X as in the state shown in FIG. 1, or as shown in FIG. You may rotate in the state from which the direction where the action part 22 extends shifted from axis X. In this embodiment, since the rotation operation part 21 can rotate in any state, the amount of the mixed water flowing out to the outflow pipe P2, and thus the amount of the mixed water discharged from the faucet can be adjusted.

以上のように、本実施形態の操作装置Dは、操作機構1に1の操作を加えると、長尺部材3が軸X周りに回転し、操作機構1に他の操作を加えると、長尺部材3が軸X方向に移動する。この1つの長尺部材3が操作されることにより、長尺部材3が接続された操作力伝達機構4の直線移動部41が、軸X方向の移動と、軸X周りの回転との2つの異なる動作を行う。直線移動部41が軸X方向に移動する場合は、回転変換部42を介して操作対象物2の直線作動部22が操作され、直線移動部41が軸X周りに回転する場合は、回転伝達部43を介して回転作動部21が操作される。したがって、1つの長尺部材3の操作により、直線作動部22と回転作動部21とを操作することができ、操作対象物2に異なる操作を加えるために複数の長尺部材を設ける必要が無い。そのため、操作装置Dが小型化し、操作装置Dを取り付けるのに必要なスペースを小さくすることができる。また、1つの長尺部材3で操作が可能であるので、部品点数を減らすことができる。   As described above, when the operation device D according to the present embodiment applies one operation to the operation mechanism 1, the long member 3 rotates around the axis X, and when another operation is applied to the operation mechanism 1, the operation device D is long. The member 3 moves in the axis X direction. By operating this one long member 3, the linear movement part 41 of the operating force transmission mechanism 4 to which the long member 3 is connected has two movements of the movement in the axis X direction and the rotation around the axis X. Perform different actions. When the linear moving unit 41 moves in the axis X direction, the linear operating unit 22 of the operation target 2 is operated via the rotation converting unit 42, and when the linear moving unit 41 rotates around the axis X, rotation transmission The rotation operating unit 21 is operated via the unit 43. Therefore, the linear operation unit 22 and the rotation operation unit 21 can be operated by operating one long member 3, and there is no need to provide a plurality of long members in order to apply different operations to the operation object 2. . Therefore, the operating device D can be downsized, and the space required for attaching the operating device D can be reduced. Further, since the operation can be performed with one long member 3, the number of parts can be reduced.

以下、本実施形態の操作装置Dをシングルレバータイプの水栓装置に適用したときの動作を詳細に説明する。なお、本発明は、以下の実施形態に限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, the operation when the operation device D of the present embodiment is applied to a single lever type faucet device will be described in detail. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

蛇口から排出される水量を調節する場合、図1に示される状態から、操作側レバー部11のレバー本体11aを矢印A1の方向に傾倒させる。レバー本体11aを操作側筐体13に対して傾倒させると、操作側レバー部11の揺動部11bが軸支部11cを中心として軸X2に対して揺動する。揺動部11bが揺動すると、操作機構1のピニオンギア121が回転し、ピニオンギア121とかみ合うラックギア122が、図1において上側に軸Xに沿って直線移動する(図2参照)。図2に示されるように、ラックギア122が移動すると、長尺部材3の一端3aが軸X方向に移動して、長尺部材3が引き操作される。   When adjusting the amount of water discharged from the faucet, the lever body 11a of the operation side lever portion 11 is tilted in the direction of the arrow A1 from the state shown in FIG. When the lever main body 11a is tilted with respect to the operation side housing 13, the swinging portion 11b of the operation side lever portion 11 swings with respect to the axis X2 about the shaft support portion 11c. When the swinging portion 11b swings, the pinion gear 121 of the operation mechanism 1 rotates, and the rack gear 122 that meshes with the pinion gear 121 moves linearly along the axis X in FIG. 1 (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 2, when the rack gear 122 moves, the one end 3a of the long member 3 moves in the direction of the axis X, and the long member 3 is pulled.

操作機構1において長尺部材3が引き操作されると、操作力伝達機構4のラックギア410に接続された長尺部材3の他端3bが図1において上側に軸X方向に移動して、図2に示されるように、ラックギア410が図2において上側に直線移動する。ラックギア410が操作力伝達機構4の収容部44a内で直線移動すると、ラックギア410に噛み合う小径のピニオンギア420aが反時計回りに回転し、それとともに同軸上に設けられた大径のピニオンギア420bも反時計回りに回転する。大径のピニオンギア420bが回転すると、大径のピニオンギア420bに噛み合うセクタギア22cが図1において時計回りに回転し、直線作動部22が時計回りに傾倒する(図2参照)。直線作動部22が図1から図2の状態へ傾倒すると、操作対象物2は、図6の状態から図7の状態へ動作する。すなわち、直線作動部22が傾倒すると、直線作動部22のギア部22aが、移動体25のラック部25bと噛み合って、移動体25を図6の位置から図7の位置へと移動させる。これにより、移動体25の一部により閉鎖されていた給水口24aの混合室25a側の開口が開口することで給水口24aと混合室25a、流出口24cとが連通して、流出管P2へ混合水が供給され、ひいては図示しない蛇口などの吐出部から混合水が供給される。この給水口24a(または給湯口24b)の開口面積は、レバー本体11aの傾倒の量に応じて調整が可能であり、水量の調整がなされる。水を止める場合には、レバー本体11aを図2に示される状態から図1に示される状態へと戻せばよい。この場合、レバー本体11aから長尺部材3に押し操作が加わり、長尺部材3の他端3bおよびラックギア410が図2において下側に移動して、小径のピニオンギア420aおよび大径のピニオンギア420bを介して、直線作動部22を図2に示す状態から図1に示す状態へと傾倒させる。これにより、給水口24a(または給湯口24b)が移動体25の一部により閉鎖されることで混合室25aへの水の供給が止まり、ひいては、流出管P2への水の供給が止まる。これにより、図示しない蛇口などの吐出部からの混合水の供給が止まる。   When the elongate member 3 is pulled in the operating mechanism 1, the other end 3b of the elongate member 3 connected to the rack gear 410 of the operating force transmission mechanism 4 moves upward in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the rack gear 410 linearly moves upward in FIG. When the rack gear 410 moves linearly within the accommodating portion 44a of the operating force transmission mechanism 4, the small-diameter pinion gear 420a meshing with the rack gear 410 rotates counterclockwise, and the large-diameter pinion gear 420b provided coaxially therewith also. Rotates counterclockwise. When the large-diameter pinion gear 420b rotates, the sector gear 22c that meshes with the large-diameter pinion gear 420b rotates clockwise in FIG. 1, and the linear actuator 22 tilts clockwise (see FIG. 2). When the linear operation unit 22 tilts from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG. 2, the operation target 2 moves from the state shown in FIG. 6 to the state shown in FIG. That is, when the linear operation part 22 tilts, the gear part 22a of the linear operation part 22 meshes with the rack part 25b of the moving body 25, and moves the moving body 25 from the position of FIG. 6 to the position of FIG. Thereby, the water supply port 24a, the mixing chamber 25a, and the outflow port 24c communicate with each other by opening the opening on the side of the mixing chamber 25a of the water supply port 24a that has been closed by a part of the moving body 25, and to the outflow pipe P2. Mixed water is supplied, and as a result, mixed water is supplied from a discharge unit such as a faucet (not shown). The opening area of the water supply port 24a (or hot water supply port 24b) can be adjusted according to the amount of tilt of the lever body 11a, and the amount of water is adjusted. In order to stop water, the lever main body 11a may be returned from the state shown in FIG. 2 to the state shown in FIG. In this case, a pushing operation is applied to the long member 3 from the lever main body 11a, and the other end 3b of the long member 3 and the rack gear 410 move downward in FIG. 2, and the small diameter pinion gear 420a and the large diameter pinion gear are moved. Via 420b, the linear operation part 22 is tilted from the state shown in FIG. 2 to the state shown in FIG. As a result, the water supply port 24a (or hot water supply port 24b) is closed by a part of the moving body 25, whereby the supply of water to the mixing chamber 25a is stopped, and consequently the supply of water to the outflow pipe P2 is stopped. Thereby, supply of mixed water from discharge parts, such as a faucet which is not illustrated, stops.

蛇口から排出される水の温度を調節する場合、すなわち、水とお湯との混合調節を行う場合は、図1に示される状態から、操作側レバー部11のレバー本体11aを矢印A2の方向に回転させる。レバー本体11aを矢印A2の方向に回転させると、操作側レバー部11から回転力が伝わった操作側筐体13が軸X周りに回転する(図3参照)。操作側筐体13が軸X周りに回転すると、操作側筐体13内部のラックギア122も回転し、ラックギア122の長尺部材接続部Cに係合または固定された長尺部材3の一端3aも回転する。操作側筐体13の回転軸は、長尺部材3の一端3aにおける軸Xと一致しているため、長尺部材3の一端3aは安定して円滑に回転する。長尺部材3の一端3aが回転すると、湾曲した配索経路であっても、トルクケーブルである長尺部材3は、操作力伝達機構4側にトルクを伝達し、長尺部材3の他端3bを軸X周りに回転させる。   When adjusting the temperature of the water discharged from the faucet, that is, when adjusting the mixing of water and hot water, the lever body 11a of the operation side lever portion 11 is moved in the direction of the arrow A2 from the state shown in FIG. Rotate. When the lever main body 11a is rotated in the direction of the arrow A2, the operation side housing 13 to which the rotational force is transmitted from the operation side lever portion 11 rotates about the axis X (see FIG. 3). When the operation side housing 13 rotates around the axis X, the rack gear 122 inside the operation side housing 13 also rotates, and the one end 3a of the long member 3 engaged or fixed to the long member connecting portion C of the rack gear 122 also moves. Rotate. Since the rotation axis of the operation side housing 13 coincides with the axis X at the one end 3a of the long member 3, the one end 3a of the long member 3 rotates stably and smoothly. When the one end 3 a of the long member 3 rotates, the long member 3 that is a torque cable transmits torque to the operating force transmission mechanism 4 side, even if it is a curved routing route, and the other end of the long member 3. 3b is rotated around the axis X.

長尺部材3の他端3bが軸X周りに回転すると、長尺部材3の他端3bが長尺部材接続部Cに係合または固定された操作力伝達機構4のラックギア410が、軸Xを回転軸として旋回する。ラックギア410が旋回するとともに、ラックギア410を収容部44aに収容している操作力伝達機構側筐体44もラックギア410から旋回方向の力を受けて、軸X周りに旋回する(図3参照)。そして、操作力伝達機構側筐体44に収容されているセクタギア22cおよびレバー22bも軸X周りに旋回して、操作対象物2の回転作動部21を軸X周りに回転させる。回転作動部21の回転軸と、長尺部材3の他端3bにおける軸Xとが回転前後において一致しているため、操作力伝達機構側筐体44は安定して円滑に回転することができる。回転作動部21が図5に実線で示される位置から二点鎖線に示される位置まで回転すると、図4に示される移動体25も回転作動部21とともに回転する。移動体25が回転すると、固定ディスク24に形成された給水口24aの開口割合と給湯口24bの開口割合が変化し、給湯口24bの開口割合が大きくなるほど、水の温度が高くなるように調節が可能となる。   When the other end 3b of the long member 3 rotates about the axis X, the rack gear 410 of the operating force transmission mechanism 4 in which the other end 3b of the long member 3 is engaged or fixed to the long member connecting portion C is Rotate around the axis of rotation. As the rack gear 410 turns, the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 housing the rack gear 410 in the housing portion 44a also receives the force in the turning direction from the rack gear 410 and turns around the axis X (see FIG. 3). Then, the sector gear 22c and the lever 22b housed in the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 also turn around the axis X to rotate the rotation operation unit 21 of the operation target 2 around the axis X. Since the rotation axis of the rotation actuating part 21 and the axis X at the other end 3b of the long member 3 coincide with each other before and after the rotation, the operating force transmission mechanism side housing 44 can rotate stably and smoothly. . When the rotation operation unit 21 rotates from the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, the moving body 25 shown in FIG. 4 also rotates together with the rotation operation unit 21. When the moving body 25 rotates, the opening ratio of the water supply port 24a and the opening ratio of the hot water supply port 24b formed in the fixed disk 24 change, and the temperature of the water is adjusted to increase as the opening ratio of the hot water supply port 24b increases. Is possible.
