Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sanitary facility which is used in a wash basin or a shampoo table and has a ball washing function.

[Conventional technology]

In general, a vanity table, a shampoo table, and the like have a structure in which an accessory is provided around a hole for receiving water. For example, the ball is fixed on a cabinet installed on the floor, or in the case of a vanity stand, the ball is used as a washbasin and a makeup mirror is attached.

In recent years, there is a vanity table that incorporates a hand shower as well as a washstand so that hair can be washed, and is widely used for home use. In a vanity table having such a function, facilities have been expanded such as incorporating an electric water heater or the like in a cabinet to use hot water. One of the most important sanitary facilities is to keep the surroundings of the facilities clean. As one example, there is a facility having a function of cleaning a ball.

In the ball cleaning, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-13469, a flow path is formed around a rim of a ball, and water is discharged toward a ball surface from a number of holes formed in the flow path. Things. By adopting such a ball cleaning, even in equipment used by many people, the inside of the ball can be cleaned and used comfortably.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, the water supply pipe connected to the rim of the ball for supplying water for ball cleaning needs a mechanism for preventing a backflow due to the generation of a negative pressure in the pipe. This is intended to prevent the backflow of water from the discharge end because the water between the discharge end and the closed valve is gradually discharged after the water supply is stopped in the pipeline flow and the inside of the pipeline becomes negative pressure. It was done. A vacuum breaker is generally used to prevent negative pressure in a pipeline. This is provided with a valve for opening to the atmosphere, and when the pressure in the pipeline becomes negative, this valve is opened and air is sucked into the inside to release the negative pressure.

By the way, conventionally, the vacuum breaker has to be provided at a position somewhat higher than the highest level of the reservoir surface of the ball, and therefore, has been incorporated in the piping of the building.

In addition, in order to simplify the installation, the vacuum breaker may be integrated into the vanity stand, but in the conventional vanity stand, the vacuum breaker and the piping are exposed from the vanity stand, and there is a problem in appearance. .

Further, since the vacuum breaker is of an open-to-atmosphere type, the water supply may overflow due to dust or the like of the vacuum breaker main body, and it is necessary to provide a path for draining the overflow water. If the overflow from the breaker is directly discharged to the wash basin, there is a problem that a person using the wash basin may be uncomfortable.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to install a vacuum breaker and to collect overflow water in a place invisible to a user.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention is a sanitary facility comprising a ball for washing or washing hair and a water supply system for the ball, wherein the ball is provided with a water passage for washing the ball, wherein the level of the ball is higher than the maximum water level of the ball. A water supply path to the water passage that passes through the water supply path is provided in the water supply system, and the supply path incorporates a vacuum breaker having a valve mechanism that opens to the atmosphere when the pressure in the flow path of the supply path becomes negative. An overflow pipe is connected to the vacuum breaker, and the overflow pipe is connected to a water receiving container provided in the facility.

[Action]

When water is fed into the rim water passage from the ball cleaning water supply channel provided in the ball water supply system, water flows out from the discharge end of the rim into the ball surface, and the ball surface is discharged. Washed. When the supply of water is stopped, the supply end side closes and water continues to be discharged to the discharge end, so that the pressure in the supply path is reduced. At this time, the valve of the vacuum breaker arranged at a level higher than the reservoir level of the ball stops the flow of water and opens the opening to the atmosphere to open the supply passage to the atmosphere. For this reason, the air is sucked into the supply path, the negative pressure is eliminated, and the backflow of water is prevented.

The overflow pipe connected to the vacuum breaker is for collecting overflow water generated by dust biting of the valve body of the vacuum breaker, and the collection destination is a water receiving container provided in the facility. For this reason, the overflow flows into the water receiving container, and the overflow water of the vacuum breaker can be collected.

Is incorporated. Pipe lines 7a and 8a connected to the water supply pipe 7 and the hot water supply pipe 8 are connected to the hot water mixing tap 4, respectively.
The outlet side of the hot water mixing tap 4 and the solenoid valve box 9 are connected by a pipe 4a. Then, a flow path from the spout solenoid valve 9a of the solenoid valve box 9 to the spout 5 is formed by the conduit 5a. The electromagnetic valve box 9 is provided with a shower electromagnetic valve 9b, and a hose 6a connected thereto is connected to the hand shower 6.

With such a flow path configuration, hot water or water whose temperature has been adjusted by the temperature adjusting handle 4b of the hot water mixing tap 4 is sent to the electromagnetic valve box 9. When the spout solenoid valve 9a is opened, water is spouted from the spout 5 and its flow rate is adjusted by a flow rate adjustment handle 5b provided on the spout 5. On the other hand, when the shower solenoid valve 9b is opened, the hand shower 6
Is supplied with water or hot water.

In order to wash the ball, the basin 1 forms a water passage 10a around the entire circumference of the rim 10 and a large number of water injection holes 1a toward the ball.
0b is open. In addition to forming the water passage 10a integrally with the basin 1, a washing pipe may be provided along the upper edge of the ball, and a large number of water holes may be formed in the washing pipe. On the other hand, a ball washing electromagnetic valve 9c of the electromagnetic valve box 9 is connected to another pipe 7b of the water supply pipe 7, and further connected to a water passage 10a of the rim 10 by a pipe 11. The pipe 11 is provided with a vacuum breaker 12 for preventing backflow of water from the basin 1 to the pipe 11.

The operation of the spout, shower and ball cleaning solenoid valves 9a, 9b, 9c is performed by an operation panel 9d provided at the upper end of the basin 1.

The vacuum breaker 12 is connected to the upper end of the rising pipe 11a at the back of the back guard 1a, and details thereof are shown in FIG. At the lower end of the main body 12a of the vacuum breaker 12, a vertical pipe 11a and a supply pipe (described later) to the water passage 10a of the rim 10 are connected. A valve seat 12b is formed at an upper end of a portion where the riser pipe 11a is inserted, and a valve body 12 that opens and closes the valve seat 12b.
c is built in. The valve element 12c is slidably attached to a spindle 12e of a cap 12d integrated with the upper end of the main body 12a. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 2B, the cap 12d has a mounting portion 12f of the spindle 12e spanned in the radial direction and an opening 12g below the cap 12d. In the state of FIG. The section 12g is open to open the supply pipe to the water passage 10a to the atmosphere. A packing 12h is attached to the upper end of the valve body 12c so as to be in close contact with the lower end surface of the cap 12d. Further, an overflow tray 13 is fixed to an upper end of the main body 12a, and an overflow pipe 14 is connected to the tray 13. Reference numeral 13a is a cover that covers the cap 12d, guides water overflowing from the opening 12g to the tray 13, and prevents dust from entering the main body 12a.

Supply pipe to be piped between the main body 12a and the water passage 10a of the rim 10.
2 and 3 are connected to two connection ports 10c opened on the innermost back wall of the rim 10 as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the water supplied via the vacuum breaker 12
The water flows into the water passage 10a by the supply pipe 15, and is discharged from the water spray hole 10b opened toward the ball surface as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, so that the ball portion of the basin 1 can be washed.

The makeup mirror body 3 is made of a thin synthetic resin sheet. As shown in FIG. 4, a shelf portion 3b is formed below the mirror 3a and a storage portion 3c is formed under the mirror portion 3b. ing. The bottom wall 3d of the storage section 3c is arranged to rest on the back guard 1a of the basin 1 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The left and right ends of the storage section 3c are defined by sheets of the makeup mirror body 3 as shown in FIG.
Are formed. Then, a part of the rising pipe 11a, a vacuum breaker 12, an overflow pipe 14, and a part of the supply pipe 15 are accommodated in the space of the hollow portion 3e. Therefore, when the makeup mirror main body 3 is integrated with the basin 1, the vacuum breaker 12 is assembled so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

Since the vacuum breaker 12 can be hidden in the makeup mirror main body 3 in this manner, the vacuum breaker 12 can be set at a higher level than the basin 1. Therefore, the level that can function as a vacuum break valve is 150 mm from the maximum water level of balls.
Although it is more than the degree, by arranging it above the back guard 1a, an arrangement satisfying this condition becomes possible.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the overflow pipe 14 was connected to the water receiving container 6b of the shower phos 6a in order to collect the overflow from the overflow pipe 14. Therefore,
It is economical because there is no need to provide a special water container.

As shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), a drain 6c for draining accumulated water is provided at the bottom of the water receiving container 6b. The drain 6c is always set up on the wall of the water receiving container 6b, and is removed and drained when draining. At the upper end of the water receiving container 6b, there is provided a fitting 6d formed of an L-shaped tube formed so as not to be shifted at the tip. Then, the overflow pipe 14 is connected to the fixture 6d.
The overflow pipe 14 used here is preferably a flexible one, for example, a rubber hose can be used.

As a method of draining the water collected in the water receiving container 6b, in addition to the above-described method, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), a method of connecting the drain 6h to the drain pipe 1b is conceivable.

Further, as a structure for connecting the overflow pipe 14 to the water receiving container 6b, as shown in FIG.
Provide a semicircular connector 6e with the inner surface cut out at the upper edge of
A method of inserting and connecting the overflow pipe 14 to the notch, or as shown in FIGS. 12 (a), (b) and (c), the inner diameter of the overflow pipe 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the overflow pipe 14. A method of forming the L-shaped projection 6g, inserting the overflow pipe 14 into the projection 6g, and connecting the overflow pipe 14 to the projection 6g can be considered. In addition to the above, the hose may be directly fixed to the cabinet.

In the above configuration, when the ball cleaning electromagnetic valve 9c is opened, water is supplied to the vacuum breaker 12 from the pipeline 11 and the rising pipe 11a. Due to this water supply pressure, the valve element 12c moves upward in FIG. 6 (a) to open the valve seat 12b, and water is sent from the supply pipe 15 to the water passage 10a of the rim 10 through the main body 12a. The water is discharged into the basin 1 through the spray hole 10b. When the ball cleaning electromagnetic valve 9c is closed, the supply of water is stopped and the water supply pressure is reduced, and the valve element 12c is lowered to close the valve seat 12b, and at the same time, the packing 12h opens the opening 12g of the cap 12d. As a result, the flow path on the side of the pipeline 11 is closed and the supply pipe is closed.
The air is sucked together with the movement of the flow to the flow path 15, so that the flow in the pipe is prevented from becoming negative pressure, and the backflow to the upstream side is suppressed.

Here, if the valve body 12c of the vacuum breaker 12 is left open due to bite of dust or the like, water overflows to the tray 13 when water is supplied. The overflowed water is discharged from the overflow pipe 14 to the water receiving container 6b. Therefore, even if an overflow occurs in the vacuum breaker 12, all the water is collected in the water receiving container 6b without falling outside or into the cabinet 2.

In this way, the vacuum breaker 12 is installed at a higher level on the back side of the basin 1 and the overflow pipe 14 is directed to the water receiving container 6b, so that there is no need to connect the pipe to a building, and construction is easy. become. In addition, even if overflow water comes out, it is discharged without being seen by a washbasin user.

In addition, although a vanity vanity table was explained in an Example, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention can be applied to sanitary facilities provided with various balls, such as a shampoo sink.

[Effect of the invention]

According to the present invention, a supply path for washing a ball is connected to a water supply system such as a water faucet provided on a ball such as a vanity table or a shampoo table, and the supply path passes through a level higher than the water level of the ball. A vacuum breaker is assembled, and an overflow pipe connected to the vacuum breaker is connected to a water receiving container.

Therefore, compared to the case where the overflow pipe is connected to the building pipe as in the conventional case, the pipe is simplified, and installation can be performed in units of facilities such as a vanity table or a shampoo table, and does not have a ball cleaning function. It can be installed as easily as equipment. In addition, since the overflow water is collected in the water receiving container, comfortable use is possible without giving the washbasin user an unpleasant feeling.
