Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bathroom in which a plurality of operation parts in a bathroom of a hot and cold water mixing apparatus for mixing hot water and water to produce hot water of appropriate temperature are concentrated in one unit. Operation unit for a vehicle.

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, a bathroom is equipped with at least a washing faucet, a shower, and a bathtub faucet. And these four have solenoid valves, and they are becoming easier to use by remote control operation.

Generally, the operation part in the bathroom of the hot and cold water mixing device that mixes hot water and hot water is as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, the shower remote control 2 for the shower 1, the faucet for the washing place. The washing place remote control 4 for 3 and the bathtub remote control 7 for the bathtub faucet 6 beside the bathtub 5 were separately provided in the bathroom 8 at locations where they were easy to operate. And the shower remote control 2, washroom remote control 4, bathtub remote control 7
Are wired to the control unit 9 each of which is composed of an electric circuit. Further, the control unit 9 is connected to a drive unit 11 for driving the hot and cold water mixing valve 10 so that the hot water temperature and the hot water discharge amount can be adjusted by operating the remote controllers 2, 4, and 7.
Power is supplied to the control unit 9 from the power supply section 12.

Reference numeral 13 is an HA (home automation) remote controller optionally wired to the control unit 9 so that the hot and cold water mixing device can be operated by telephone even when the user is out.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a structure, since the shower remote controller 2, the washroom remote controller 4, the bathtub remote controller 7 and the like are separately arranged in the bathroom 8, the installation work is complicated and troublesome. It was hanging. In addition, these remote controllers 2, 4, 7
Waterproofing such as is left to the construction company, and the manufacturer could not take measures against earth leakage, which lacked safety and long-term reliability.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a bathroom operation unit of a hot and cold water mixing apparatus which enables the manufacturer to take safety and long-term reliability.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a first technical means of the present invention is to provide a position close to a shower and a washbasin in a bathroom for adjusting the hot water temperature and the amount of hot water discharged from the shower and a washbasin. Each of the shower remote controller and the washing room remote controller, the control unit for controlling the hot and cold water mixing means by the signals of these remote controllers, and the control unit are watertightly fitted into a plurality of holes provided on the front surface of the hollow box. The hot and cold water mixing means constituted by a driving unit of the mixing valve is arranged on the surface of the box, and wiring to the remote controller, the control unit and the driving unit of the hot and cold water mixing valve is performed in the hollow portion of the box, and the box is It is configured to be covered integrally with a makeup cover.

The second technical means is, in addition to the first technical means, provided with a drainage pipe communicating from the lower end of the hollow box to the outside of the bathroom, and drawing out electrical wiring to the outside through this drainage pipe. It is configured as follows.

Operation With the above configuration, since the plurality of remote controllers and the control unit are integrated, the mounting work is facilitated, and the leakage preventing measures can be taken by the manufacturer. Further, since the remote controller and the control unit are watertightly fitted in the hollow box, no abnormality will occur in the electric circuit system due to dew condensation due to water in the bathroom.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a bathroom operation unit of a hot and cold water mixing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 to 4, the same components as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. As shown in the figure, it is electrically connected to the shower remote control 2 for the shower 1, the washroom remote control 4 for the washroom faucet 3 and these remote controls 2 and 4, and controls the drive section of the hot and cold water mixing valve 10 by the signals of the remote controls 2 and 4. The control unit 9 is inserted into the holes 22, 23, 24 provided in the front surface of the hollow resin box 21 through a packing or the like in a watertight manner.
Here, electric wiring between the shower remote controller 2, the washing room remote controller 4, and the control unit 9 is made in the hollow portion of the box 21, and the electric circuit system is cut off by the water in the bathroom 8.

Further, a hot and cold water mixing valve 10 as hot and cold water mixing means and a drive unit 11 thereof are arranged in a recess 25 formed in the front surface of the box 21. The lead wire led out from the lead wire lead-out portion 11a of the drive unit 11 is connected to the control unit 9 via the wiring hole portion 26 provided in the box 21, and the lead wire lead-out portion 11a and the wiring hole portion 26 are made of rubber or resin. It is connected in a watertight manner by a pipe 27 made of steel.

At the lowermost end of the box 21, a watertight state is fitted via an O-ring 32 or other seal packing to the opening of a flange 31 mounted on the wall 8a surface of the bathroom 8 where the box 21 is mounted via packing 30. Drain pipe 28 that fits and communicates with the outside
Is provided. This water distribution pipe 28 drains the water existing in the hollow part of the box 21 when it condenses, and also connects the control unit 9 with the low-voltage power supply 12, the bathtub remote controller 7, the HA remote controller 13, and the like. Is also used to derive from box 21.

The decorative cover 29 is attached so as to cover the front part of the box 21, and the decorative cover 29 has holes 29a and 29b for operating the shower remote controller 2 and the washing room remote controller 4.
Are formed. Further, the decorative cover 29 is provided with a door 29c for checking the hot and cold water mixing means as needed.

With the above configuration, the remote controller 2 installed in the bathroom 8,
4. Since the control unit 9 and the hot and cold water mixing means are integrated into one unit, the installation work is simple and the manufacturer can take waterproof measures, so that the risk of electric leakage can be suppressed. Further, the hot and cold water mixing means to which the condensed water frequently adheres is arranged outside the box 21.
It is possible to prevent water from being generated in the hollow part, and the safety of the electric circuit system is further enhanced.

The positions of the remote controllers in the hollow box according to the present invention are not limited to those in this embodiment.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, the bathroom operation unit of the hot and cold water mixing apparatus of the present invention is a box in which the control unit including a plurality of remote controllers and electric circuits for operating the hot and cold water mixing apparatus is a hollow box. Since it is fitted in a watertight manner and is designed as a waterproof unit, the installation work is easy and the manufacturer can take waterproofing measures that had previously depended on the contractor, so that there is no leakage of electricity. The risk is greatly reduced and long-term reliability is improved.
