JP 2000-28017 A

  In addition to the arch handle, some of the flow adjustment handles are configured only at one end side and do not have an operation unit extending in the left-right direction (hereinafter, referred to as “normal handles”).

  In the case of a conventional faucet device, in the case of an arch handle, a support portion for supporting the operating portion extending to the left and right on the left and right end portions of the faucet main body is required, but in the case of a normal handle, the support portion is unnecessary. Therefore, in the two cases, the attachment position of the temperature adjustment handle to the faucet main body is shifted in the left-right direction.

  For this reason, in the conventional faucet device, it is necessary to change the temperature adjustment handle depending on whether the flow adjustment handle is an arch handle or a normal handle. That is, in the conventional faucet device, when one type of the operation handle is different, the other operation handle also needs to be changed, and the operation handle cannot be shared.

The same temperature adjustment handle can be used regardless of the presence or absence. That is, the operation handle can be shared.

  Further, the temperature adjustment handle includes a high-temperature operation restriction button for restricting an operation on a high-temperature side, and a pushing amount of the high-temperature operation restriction button is regulated by the offset member.

  According to this configuration, the offset member regulates the pressing amount of the high-temperature operation restricting button, so that the offset member also serves as the restriction of the offset of the temperature adjustment handle and the pressing amount of the high-temperature operation restricting button, thereby reducing the number of parts. And so on.

  Further, the mixing valve includes a valve spline portion at a tip end on one end side of the faucet main body on the shaft, the offset member includes a valve-side fitting portion that fits with the valve spline portion, It is characterized by comprising a handle-side fitting portion that contacts the inner surface of the temperature adjustment handle, and a connecting portion that connects the valve-side fitting portion and the handle-side fitting portion in a radial direction.

  According to this configuration, since the valve-side fitting portion and the handle-side fitting portion are connected in the radial direction, the male and female members that transmit power by fitting are connected without extending in the axial direction. be able to. Thereby, the overall length of the faucet device can be shortened.

  Further, the temperature adjustment handle includes a handle spline portion, and the handle side fitting portion is in contact with a portion other than the handle spline portion.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to transmit the rotational power at a portion other than the spline of the handle spline portion. As a result, a decrease in rotational strength can be suppressed.

  Further, the handle spline portion includes a groove into which the connection portion enters.

  According to this configuration, a groove is provided in the handle spline portion, and the connection portion enters the groove, so that the overall length of the faucet device can be reduced.

  According to one aspect of the embodiment, the operation handle can be shared.

  The faucet main body 2 includes a cylindrical outer member 21 (see FIG. 3A). The outer shell member 21 is a metal member and forms the outer shell of the faucet main body 2. An inner channel unit 5 (see FIG. 3A) described later is inserted into the outer shell member 21 in the axial direction. Note that the axes of the outer member 21 and the internal flow path unit 5 coincide with the axis L of the faucet main body 2 (see FIG. 3A). Therefore, hereinafter, the axial directions of the outer shell member 21 and the internal flow path unit 5 are also referred to as “axis L” directions. The radial direction of the outer shell member 21, the internal flow path unit 5, and other members is the same direction as the radial direction of the faucet main body 2. Hereinafter, the radial direction of each member is also commonly referred to as “radial direction”.

  A hot water supply pipe 8 is attached to one end (for example, the left end) of the faucet main body 2 from the rear. A water supply pipe 9 is attached to the left or right other end (for example, the right end) of the faucet body 2 from the rear.

  A temperature adjustment handle 3 is attached to one of the left and right ends (for example, the left end) of the faucet body 2. A flow adjustment handle main body 41A, which will be described later, of the flow adjustment handle 4A is attached to one of the left and right other ends (for example, the right end) of the faucet main body 2.

  The temperature adjustment handle 3 is a cylindrical member with a bottom, and is attached to the faucet main body 2 so as to be rotatable around the axis L. The temperature adjustment handle 3 switches the type of fluid discharged from the water discharge pipe 6 or the hand shower to water or mixed water according to the rotation position. Specifically, the temperature adjustment handle 3 switches whether or not to mix hot water with water, and adjusts the temperature of the mixed water according to the rotation position when the mixed water is discharged from the water discharge pipe 6 or the hand shower. (Set).

  The temperature adjustment handle 3 includes a high-temperature operation restriction button 31. The high temperature operation restriction button 31 is a button for restricting the operation of the temperature adjustment handle 3 on the high temperature side, that is, the rotation operation on the high temperature side. The high-temperature operation restriction button 31 is urged radially outward by an urging member 311 (see FIG. 3A) described later.

  The temperature adjustment handle 3 cannot be set to a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature unless the high temperature operation restriction button 31 is pushed inward in the radial direction. As described above, the provision of the high-temperature operation restriction button 31 prevents discharge of high-temperature mixed water (hot water) contrary to the user's intention.

  As described above, the flow adjustment handle 4A is an arch handle, and includes the flow adjustment handle main body 41A, the handle support 42A, and the connecting portion 43A. The flow adjustment handle main body 41A is a cylindrical member with a bottom, and is attached to the faucet main body 2 so as to be rotatable around the axis L.

  The handle support portion 42A is a cylindrical or annular member, and the temperature adjustment handle is located closer to the other end (right end) than the temperature adjustment handle 3 at one of the left and right ends (for example, the left end) of the faucet main body 2. 3 and is attached to the faucet body 2 so as to be rotatable around the axis L. The handle support 42A is also a pivot point at the other end of the flow adjustment handle 4A.

  The connecting portion 43A is a long member having both ends bent in a hook shape, and connects the flow adjustment handle main body 41A and the handle supporting portion 42A outside the faucet main body 2. The connecting portion 43A is an operation portion that is operated when rotating the flow rate adjustment handle 4A.

  The flow adjustment handle 4A switches the outlet of water or mixed water to the water discharge pipe 6 or the hand shower according to the rotation position of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A. The flow adjustment handle adjusts the flow rate of water or mixed water discharged from the water discharge pipe 6 or the hand shower according to the rotation position of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A.

<Internal configuration of faucet device 1A>
Next, an internal configuration of the faucet device 1A will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIG. 3A is a sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 2, that is, a front sectional view of the faucet apparatus 1A. FIG. 3B is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. 3A. As shown in FIG. 3A and as described above, the faucet main body 2 includes the outer shell member 21. The outer member 21 extends in the left-right direction. The outer member 21 has an inner peripheral surface 21a having a circular cross section orthogonal to the left-right direction.

  An insertion hole for attaching the water discharge pipe 6 to the internal flow path unit 5 from below is formed in the outer casing member 21 near the center in the left-right direction. Further, an insertion hole for attaching the shower hose 7 (see FIG. 2) to the internal flow path unit 5 from the rear is formed in the outer casing member 21 near the center in the left-right direction.

  The faucet main body 2 includes the internal flow path unit 5 therein by being inserted into the outer shell member 21. The internal flow path unit 5, for example, supplies water supplied from the water supply pipe 9 (see FIG. 2) to the inner peripheral surface 21 a of the outer member 21 and the outer peripheral surface of an internal flow path member 51 of the internal flow path unit 5, which will be described later. This is a unit that allows the flow of water without passing through the space, and completes the flow path of water inside.

  The internal flow channel unit 5 includes an internal flow channel member 51, a temperature control unit (mixing valve 60), and a flow control unit (open / close valve 70). The internal flow path member 51 is made of a high-strength resin such as, for example, PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), and has a cylindrical outer shape in accordance with the inner peripheral surface 21 a of the outer member 21.

  A rib-shaped protrusion 511 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the internal flow path member 51. The internal flow path member 51 has a convex portion 511 abutting against the inner peripheral surface 21a of the outer shell member 21 to reduce the frictional resistance at the time of assembling the internal flow path member 51 (at the time of insertion), thereby improving the assemblability, and A space is formed between the inner peripheral surface 21a of the member 21 and the heat insulating property is enhanced. Inside the internal flow path member 51, a mixing valve 60 as a temperature adjustment unit and an opening / closing valve 70 as a flow rate adjustment unit are provided.

  The mixing valve 60 mixes water and hot water supplied from respective supply sources. The mixing valve 60 is arranged on the axis L of the faucet main body 2. The mixing valve 60 includes a temperature-sensitive spring 61, a bias spring 62, a valve body 63, a liner 64, and a spindle 65.

  The temperature-sensitive spring 61 is housed in a first support case 66 provided at the center in the left-right direction. The temperature-sensitive spring 61 is a spring whose spring constant changes according to the temperature, and is made of, for example, a shape memory alloy. The temperature sensing spring 61 urges a valve body 63 described later toward one of left and right (leftward).

  The bias spring 62 is housed in a second support case 67 provided on the left side of the first support case 66. The bias spring 62 is provided in the water discharge passage R that supplies the mixed water W mixed in the mixing valve 60 to an opening / closing valve 70 described later. The bias spring 62 is a spring whose spring constant is substantially constant with respect to temperature. The bias spring 62 urges the valve body 63 toward either the left or right (rightward).

  The valve body 63 is provided between the first support case 66 and the second support case 67. The valve body 63 is supported by the internal flow path member 51 via the separating wall 68 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The isolation wall 68 defines a hot water introduction flow path for introducing hot water supplied from the hot water supply pipe 8 (see FIG. 2) and a water introduction flow path for introducing water supplied from the water supply pipe 9 (see FIG. 2). Isolate in direction. Further, the valve body 63 has a through-hole penetrating in the left-right direction.

  The valve body 63 moves in the left-right direction in accordance with the urging force of the temperature-sensitive spring 61 and the urging force of the bias spring 62, and adjusts the communication between the hot water introduction flow path and the water discharge flow path R. Specifically, when the urging force of the temperature-sensitive spring 61 is larger than the urging force of the bias spring 62, the valve body 63 moves to the left. When the valve body 63 moves to the left and comes into contact with the first support case 66, the communication between the hot water introduction flow path and the water discharge flow path R is interrupted, and the hot water does not flow into the water discharge flow path R.

  When the biasing force of the bias spring 62 is larger than the biasing force of the temperature-sensitive spring 61, the valve body 63 moves to the right. For example, when the biasing force of the bias spring 62 is increased from a state where the valve body 63 is in contact with the first support case 66, and the valve body 63 is separated from the first support case 66, the hot water introduction flow path and the water discharge flow path R communicate with each other. The hot water flows into the water discharge passage R.

  When the valve body 63 is separated from the first support case 66, the valve body 63 is held at a position where the biasing force of the temperature-sensitive spring 61 and the biasing force of the bias spring 62 are balanced. As the distance between the valve body 63 and the first support case 66 increases, the amount of hot water flowing into the water discharge passage R increases. Further, as the distance between the valve body 63 and the first support case 66 increases, the distance between the valve body 63 and the second support case 67 decreases, and the amount of water flowing into the water discharge passage R decreases.

  The liner 64 is in contact with the end of the bias spring 62 opposite to the valve body 63, and is connected to the temperature adjustment handle 3 via the spindle 65. The spindle 65 is rotatably supported by the second support case 67 and converts the rotational movement of the temperature adjustment handle 3 into a linear movement of the liner 64 in the left-right direction. For this reason, the liner 64 moves in the left-right direction according to the rotation of the temperature adjustment handle 3.

  In the mixing valve 60, the liner 64 moves in the left-right direction in accordance with the turning position of the temperature adjustment handle 3. That is, the mixing valve 60 changes the position of the valve body 63 to a position where the urging force of the temperature-sensitive spring 61 and the urging force of the bias spring 62 are balanced in accordance with the rotation position of the temperature adjustment handle 3. Thus, when discharging the mixed water W, the mixing valve 60 can set the temperature of the mixed water W to a set temperature corresponding to the turning position of the temperature adjustment handle 3.

  When the mixed water W is discharged, for example, when the temperature of the hot water changes and the temperature of the mixed water W changes, the temperature-sensitive spring 61 expands and contracts according to the temperature of the mixed water W, and the valve body 63 moves in the left-right direction. It moves, and the balance position of the valve body 63 is automatically changed. Thereby, the amount of hot water and the amount of water flowing into the water discharge passage R are adjusted, and the temperature of the mixed water W is automatically adjusted.

  The opening / closing valve 70 selectively switches the mixed water W mixed by the mixing valve 60 and sent from the mixing valve 60 to a plurality of water supply paths, that is, the water discharge pipe 6 or the shower hose 7 (see FIG. 2), Stop the water. The opening / closing valve 70 is disposed on the axis L of the faucet main body 2, similarly to the mixing valve 60.

  The opening / closing valve 70 includes a switching valve body 71 and a rotating shaft 72. The switching valve body 71 is provided in the water discharge channel R. The switching valve body 71 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, rotates in accordance with the rotation of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A, and slides on the inner peripheral surface of the internal flow path member 51.

  The switching valve body 71 is provided so as to go to two openings (not shown) formed near the center of the internal flow path member 51. One of the two openings is a water outlet leading to the water discharge pipe 6, and the other is a water outlet leading to the shower hose 7 (see FIG. 2).

  Further, a communication port (not shown) is formed in the switching valve body 71. When the switching valve body 71 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A, the communication port communicates with one of the two openings.

  The rotation shaft 72 is rotatably supported on the inner peripheral surface of the internal flow path member 51. One end (right end) of the rotating shaft 72 is connected to the flow adjustment handle main body 41A, and the other end (left end) is connected to the switching valve body 71.

  When the flow adjustment handle main body 41A is at the predetermined water stop position, the communication port does not communicate with any of the two openings. Therefore, when the flow adjustment handle main body 41A is at the predetermined water stop position, the mixed water W (or water) is not discharged from the water discharge pipe 6 and the hand shower.

  When the flow adjustment handle main body 41A rotates forward from the water stop position, for example, the communication port communicates with one of the two openings (a water discharge port communicating with the water discharge pipe 6). Thereby, the mixed water W (or water) flows into the water discharge pipe 6 from one opening, and is discharged from the water discharge port of the water discharge pipe 6.

  When the flow adjustment handle main body 41A rotates rearward from the water stop position, for example, the communication port communicates with the other of the two openings (the water discharge port communicating with the shower hose 7). Thereby, the mixed water W (or water) flows into the shower hose 7 from the other opening, and is discharged from the water outlet of the hand shower.

  The switching valve body 71 can change the area where the communication port communicates with the two openings in accordance with the rotation position of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A. That is, the opening / closing valve 70 can adjust the flow rate of the mixed water W (or water) spouted from the spout pipe 6 or the spout of the hand shower in accordance with the rotation position of the flow adjustment handle main body 41A.

  The flow adjustment handle main body 41A has on its inner surface a handle spline portion 44A that is connected to a valve spline portion 73 that is a connection portion of an opening / closing valve 70 provided at a distal end on one end side of the rotating shaft 72. As described above, the flow adjustment handle main body 41A is disposed at the other end (right end) on the axis L of the faucet main body 2, and is connected to the open / close valve 70 so as to be rotatable around the axis L. Is done.

  Further, as described above, the handle support portion 42A, which constitutes the flow adjustment handle 4A together with the flow adjustment handle main body portion 41A and the connecting portion 43A, has the temperature adjustment handle 3 at one of the left and right ends (left end) of the faucet main body 2. It is arranged alongside the temperature adjustment handle 3 on the other end (right end) side.

  Here, when a handle support portion 42A is provided as a pivot point on one end (left end) side of the faucet body 2 of the flow adjustment handle 4A (see FIG. 2), the mounting position of the temperature adjustment handle 3 is the normal handle. As compared with the case of, the handle support portion 42A is shifted outward (left side) in the left-right direction by the width in the axis L direction. Therefore, the faucet device 1A includes an offset member 33 for offsetting the temperature adjustment handle 3 by the width of the handle support portion 42A in the axis L direction.

<Temperature adjustment handle 3 and offset member 33>
The temperature adjustment handle 3 and the offset member 33 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B. 4A and 4B are perspective views of the offset member 33. FIG. 4A is a view of the offset member 33 as viewed from the upper left, and FIG. 4B is a view of the offset member 33 as viewed from the upper right when the temperature adjustment handle 3 shown in FIGS. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the temperature adjustment handle 3 is disposed at one end (left end) on the axis L. The temperature adjustment handle 3 rotates the mixing valve 60 around the axis L. In addition, the temperature adjustment handle 3 has a handle spline portion 32 on the inner surface for connecting to the mixing valve 60. The handle spline portion 32 includes a groove 32a formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof along the direction of the axis L.

  The offset member 33 is provided between the mixing valve 60 and the temperature adjustment handle 3. The offset member 33 is connected to a valve spline portion 69 that is a connection portion of the mixing valve 60 and is connected to the temperature adjustment handle 3 and is provided at a tip end on one end (left end) side on the axis L of the mixing valve 60. Is done.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B, the offset member 33 includes a valve-side fitting portion 33a, a handle-side fitting portion 33b, and a connection portion 33c. The valve side fitting portion 33a is connected to the valve spline portion 69 by fitting with the valve spline portion 69 of the mixing valve 60. The handle side fitting portion 33b includes a contact portion 33ba. The contact portion 33ba contacts a portion of the inner surface of the temperature adjustment handle 3 other than the handle spline portion 32.

  The connection part 33c connects between the valve side fitting part 33a and the handle side fitting part 33b in the radial direction. The plurality of connection portions 33c are formed in a plate shape, and are provided to protrude radially from the handle side fitting portion 33b. The connection portion 33c is formed in a groove of the handle spline portion 32 in a state where the valve side fitting portion 33a is fitted with the valve spline portion 69 and the handle side fitting portion 33b is in contact with the inner surface of the temperature adjustment handle 3. 32a (see FIG. 3B). In addition, the connection part 33c may be single.

  As described above, since the valve side fitting portion 33a and the handle side fitting portion 33b are radially connected by the connecting portion 33c, the male and female members that transmit power by fitting do not extend in the axis L direction. However, both can be connected. Thereby, the total length of the faucet, that is, the length of the faucet device 1A in the left-right direction can be reduced.

  Further, by providing a groove 32a in the handle spline portion 32 and connecting the connection portion 33c of the offset member 33 into the groove 32a, rotational power can be transmitted to a portion other than the spline of the handle spline portion 32. In the case where a connecting portion is provided to connect between the fitting portion 33a and the handle side fitting portion 33b, it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength against rotation due to a short length of the handle spline portion 32. .

  As described above, the temperature adjustment handle 3 includes the high-temperature operation restriction button 31 (see FIG. 3B). As shown in FIG. 3B, the high temperature operation restriction button 31 protrudes from a hole 3a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the temperature adjustment handle 3. The high-temperature operation restriction button 31 is urged radially outward of the temperature adjustment handle 3 by an urging member 311 such as a leaf spring.

  The amount of movement of the high-temperature operation restriction button 31 inward in the radial direction is restricted by the outer peripheral surface 33d of the offset member 33 (see FIGS. 4A and 4B). That is, the pressing amount of the high-temperature operation restriction button 31 is restricted.

  In this manner, the offset member 33 regulates the amount of pressing of the high-temperature operation restricting button 31 so that the offset member 33 also serves to regulate the lateral offset of the temperature adjustment handle 3 and the amount of pressing of the high-temperature operation restricting button 31. Become. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts.

<Normal handle type faucet device 1B>
Next, a normal handle type faucet apparatus 1B will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a normal handle type faucet device 1B. FIG. 6 is a plan view of a normal handle type faucet device 1B. FIG. 7A is a sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. 6, that is, a front sectional view of the faucet apparatus 1B. FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG. 7A. In FIG. 7B, the temperature adjustment handle 3 in the arch handle type faucet device 1A is indicated by a two-dot broken line.

  The normal handle type faucet device 1B can use the same operation handle (temperature adjustment handle 3) as the arch handle type faucet device 1A. The faucet device 1B differs from the faucet device 1A in the configuration of the flow rate adjustment handle 4. Therefore, in the faucet device 1B described below, the same or equivalent parts as those of the faucet device 1A are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description may be omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the faucet device 1B includes a flow rate adjusting handle 4B. The flow adjustment handle 4B includes a flow adjustment handle main body 41B and an operation unit 43B.
