2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in controlling shower water injection, a desired solenoid valve is operated by a control signal from a controller, and a battery is considered to be used as a power supply. For example, the present inventors have proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 3-28806 and the like, and in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 2-78802 and the like, have proposed a seal configuration.

However, when a battery is used as a power source as described above, there is a problem that it is difficult to provide a waterproof structure for the battery. The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a shower device that can easily and sufficiently seal a battery case.

The shower apparatus according to the present invention is a shower apparatus in which a controller C installed in a bathroom is driven by a battery B when controlling the injection of shower water. A control unit storage unit 1 for storing the control unit and a battery storage unit 2 for storing the battery B
The battery case 3 containing the battery B is housed in the battery housing 2 and the conductive cord 4 led out of the battery case 3 is fixed to the elastic bush 5 and the end cap. 7, and the elastic bush 5 is elastically deformed by the end cap 7 attached to the battery case 3 with the screw 6.
Characterized by being pressed against

[0005]

As described above, the controller C is divided into the control section storage section 1 for storing the control section and the battery storage section 2 for storing the battery B. The control section storage section 1 is sealed and has a battery storage section. 2, a battery case 3 containing a battery B is housed therein. A conductive cord 4 led out of the battery case 3 is inserted through the elastic bush 5 and the end cap 7, and an end cap 7 attached to the battery case 3 with screws 6. The elastic bush 5 is elastically deformed and pressed against the conductive cord 4 to seal the control unit storage unit 1 in which the control device is stored. Is inserted through the elastic bush 5 and the end cap 7, and the end cap 7 is fixed to the battery case 3 with screws 6. Then, the elastic bush 5 is elastically deformed by the end cap 7 and pressed against the conductive cord 4 so that the lead portion of the conductive cord 4 is sufficiently sealed, and the end cap 7 is used for this purpose. In addition, the seal configuration can be simplified.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows a shower device A. A casing 8 of the shower device A is provided with a nozzle 9 for pouring hot water as a shower water jet, a nozzle 10 for a body shower, and the like. The bathroom wall 11 below the casing 8
Is supplied with hot water from an outdoor water heater and tap water from a water pipe, and is operated by a touch operation of a touch switch button on a display panel 14 of the controller C incorporated in the casing 8. A control section provided therein is operated to operate an electromagnetic valve (not shown) so that injection from the nozzles 9, 10,... Can be controlled.

The solenoid valve uses a self-holding solenoid valve to suppress power consumption by using a power supply as a battery. The solenoid valve is opened and closed by switching the energizing direction of an exciting coil, and is opened even after the exciting current is cut off. , So that the closed state is maintained by itself. The configuration of such a self-holding type solenoid valve uses a known one. As shown in FIG.
The case body 16 is attached to the back plate 15 with screws,
In a partition 17 formed in the case body 16, the inside of the controller C is partitioned into a control section storage section 1 for storing the control section and a battery storage section 2 for storing the battery B. An annular packing 18 is disposed between the back plate 15 and the case body 16, and the control section housing section 1 is sealed.
Then, the battery case 3 containing the battery B is accommodated in the battery accommodating section 2, and the portion of the conductive cord 4 derived from the battery case 3 is sufficiently sealed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the battery case 3 is screwed and connected to the main body case 19 through the O-ring 21 with a sufficient sealing property.
A positive electrode 23 is attached to 0 with a screw 22. A through hole 25 is formed in the end plate 24 of the main body case 19 so that the conductive cord 4 can be led out. A screw receiver 26 is formed on the end plate 24. The conductive cord 4 has the elastic bush 5
Is inserted, the conductive cord 4 is inserted into the through hole 27 of the end cap 7, the screw 6 inserted into the mounting hole 28 of the end cap 7 is screwed into the screw receiver 26, and the end cap 7 is attached to the main body case 19. , If so,
The elastic bush 5 is elastically deformed by the end cap 7, and the elastic bush 5 is strongly pressed against the conductive cord 4, so that the portion where the conductive cord 4 is led out can be sufficiently sealed. In the figure, reference numeral 29 denotes a conductive spring, which is a negative pole and is electrically connected to the conductive cord 4. The positive pole is also electrically connected to the conductive cord 4.

The screw 6 has a blind hole 3 in the screw receiver 26.
The screw B is screwed into the screw 0 to prevent the water from penetrating inside through the screw 6, and furthermore, the screw spring 26 receives the conductive spring 29, thereby positioning the battery B. In the drawing, reference numeral 31 denotes an opening / closing lid for taking out the battery case 3 and replacing the battery B.

[0010]

As described above, the present invention divides the controller into a control section storage section for storing the control section and a battery storage section for storing the battery, and the control section storage section is sealed and battery storage is performed. The battery case containing the battery is stored in the part, and the conductive cord derived from the battery case is inserted through the elastic bush and the end cap,
Since the elastic bush is elastically deformed by the end cap attached to the battery case with a screw and pressed against the conductive cord, the control part storage part where the control equipment is stored is sealed, and the seal for the control equipment is sufficiently sealed. While the conductive cord derived from the battery case is inserted through the elastic bush and the end cap, and the end cap is fixed to the battery case with screws, the elastic bush is elastically deformed by the end cap and pressed against the conductive cord. As a result, there is an advantage that the sealing performance of the lead-out portion of the conductive cord can be made sufficient, and in order to achieve this, an end cap is used and the sealing configuration can be simplified.
