In FIG. 2, hot water and water supplied through a hot water flow path 1 and a water flow path 2 are depressurized by an automatic pressure regulating valve 3 and the mixing ratio of hot water and water is adjusted. Automatic pressure regulating valve 3
Is a hot water side valve body 4 for reducing the primary pressure PH1 of the hot water flow path 1,
A hot water side valve seat 5, a water side valve body 6 for reducing the primary pressure PC1 of the water flow path 2, a water side valve seat 7, a valve shaft 8 connecting the hot side valve body 4 and the water side valve body 6, 1 of hot water and water provided in cylinder 9
The automatic pressure regulating valve 3 is moved left and right by the pressure of the hot water or the water even if the pressure of the hot water or the water changes suddenly. The secondary pressure PH2 of the side valve body 6 and the PC2 act so as to be always kept equal. Further, the bias driving means 1 is attached to the valve shaft 8.
0, a bias driving means 10 is provided with a bobbin 11 coupled to the end of the valve shaft 8, a coil 12 wound on the bobbin 11 and insulated, and a permanent magnet provided so as to sandwich the coil 12. 13, the coil 12 has
It is connected to the control means 18 via the flexible part 14. When a current flows from the control means 18 to the coil 12, the current crosses the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 13, so that
A bias force is applied to the valve shaft 8 by Fleming's law. For this reason, the automatic pressure adjustment point shifts by the bias force,
For example, the secondary pressure PH2 of the hot water and the pressure of the PC2 are constantly adjusted at the point of 2: 1. As a result, the tapping temperature becomes high. Thus, by changing the current to the coil 12, the temperature of the mixed hot water is changed.

15 and its flow rate are detected by the flow rate detecting means 16, and the control means 18 biases the bias driving means 10 and the flow rate control on / off valve driving means 21 to adjust the temperature so as to match the value of the setting means 17.

For example, when the supply primary pressure on the hot water side and the water side, that is, the pressure difference between PH1 and PC1, is large, the required driving force of the bias driving means 10 for changing the mixing ratio of hot water and water becomes large. There is a problem that the capacity of the bias driving means 10 and the power consumption increase. For example, the supply primary pressure on the hot water side is 1 kg / cm 2 (9.8 × 10 4 Pa)
And the primary pressure on the water side is 2 kg / cm 2 (19.6 × 10 4 P
In a), when the diameter of the partition piston 9a is 15 mm, the bias driving means 10 must be able to generate a force of about 1.8 kgf (= 17.3 N) or more. Therefore, the bias driving means 10 has to be increased in external dimensions and power consumption.

With the above arrangement, the hot water mixing apparatus of the present invention drives the hot water side pilot pressure variable means and the water side pilot pressure variable means by a signal from the controller.
The pressure acting on the hot water side piston and the water side pressure piston changes. Along with this, the hot water side valve element, the partition piston and the water side valve element, which are connected to each other, are moved by the pressure balance action, so that the mixing ratio of hot water and water is varied. Moreover, since the flow passage areas of the hot water side and water side pilot pressure introduction passages are significantly smaller than the pressure receiving areas of the hot water side and water side valve bodies and the partition pistons, the hot water side and water side pilot pressure variable means are required. The required driving force can be reduced by orders of magnitude.

In addition, the hot water mixing apparatus of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure has a shape memory alloy of a hot water pilot pressure variable means provided in the hot water pilot pressure introduction passage for driving the hot water pilot valve by energizing and heating; Since any of the shape memory alloys of the water side pilot pressure variable means provided in the pilot pressure introduction path and driving the water side pilot valve by energization heating is cooled by water from the primary side flow path of the water side valve body, Any shape memory alloy acts so as to be rapidly deformed, return to its original state, or change responsively in accordance with the amount of current supply. For example, it enables variable control of the hot and cold water mixing ratio with a response speed several times faster than the case of driving with a geared motor or the like or using a shape memory alloy in the air.

Further, according to the hot water mixing apparatus of the present invention, by heating the one of the shape memory alloy wires by applying electric current, the hot water pilot valve or the water side pilot valve is opened in a direction to open the hot water pilot valve seat or the water side pilot valve seat. The water side pilot valve is driven, and the pressure acting on the hot water side pressure piston and the water side pressure piston changes. Along with that,
By the pressure balance action, the hot water side valve element, the partitioning piston and the water side valve element which are connected to each other are moved to act to change the mixing ratio of hot water and water. Moreover, both the hot-water-side pilot valve and the water-side pilot valve are urged by a bias spring in a direction to close the hot-water-side and water-side pilot valve seats against the water pressure from the primary flow path of the water-side valve body, and the shape memory is stored. Since the valve is opened by energizing heating of the alloy wire, when the hot-water-side pilot valve and water-side pilot valve transition from the closed state to the open state, or vice versa, the hot-water-side and water-side pilot valves Abrupt pressure changes acting on the water can be prevented, and hot water mixing control with excellent control stability can be realized. In addition, when the opening degree of the hot-water-side and water-side pilot valves is controlled by the current-carrying heat shrinking action and the water-cooling elongation action of the shape memory alloy wire, the shape memory alloy wire is thin and has a small heat capacity, so that the hot water with a faster response can be obtained. This enables mixing control.

For example, when the water-side pilot valve 53 of the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 increases the opening, water enters from the water-side flow path 24 through the water-side pilot pressure introduction path 35 and the water-side pressure piston 31 Pressure acting on the water side valve body 27
The pressure approaches the next pressure and increases, and the pressure pushes the water-side pressure piston 31 to move the water-side valve body 27 in the closing direction. On the other hand, since the pressure acting on the hot water side pressure piston 30 does not change during that time, the balance of the force is higher than the force in the direction of closing the hot water side valve element 26 and opening the water side valve element 27. And the force in the direction of closing the water-side valve body prevails, and as a result, as shown in FIG. Conversely, when the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 decreases the opening of the water-side pilot valve 53 and increases the opening of the hot-side pilot valve 50 of the hot-side pilot pressure variable means 39, the water-side flow path 24 Water enters through the hot-water-side pilot pressure introduction passage 34, and the pressure acting on the hot-water-side pressure piston 30 approaches the primary pressure of the water-side valve body 27 and increases. Thus, the force for moving the hot-water-side valve body 26 in the closing direction increases. On the other hand, since the pressure acting on the water-side pressure piston 31 decreases, in this case, the hot-water-side valve body 26 is closed and the water-side valve body 27 is moved in a direction in which the water-side valve body 27 is opened. become. Thus, the controller 43
By controlling the hot-water-side pilot pressure variable means 39 and the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 based on the signal from the controller, the mixing ratio of hot water and water can be variably controlled. Moreover, the flow passage areas of the hot-water pilot pressure introduction passage 34 and the water-side pilot pressure introduction passage 35 are significantly smaller than the pressure-receiving areas of the hot-water valve body 26, the water-side valve body 27, and the partition piston 29. The driving force required for the hot-water-side pilot pressure variable means 39 and the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the hot-water-side pilot pressure variable means 39 and the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 can be small and compact with low power consumption.

In the hot water mixing apparatus of the above embodiment, when hot water flows, the hot water side valve element 26, the partition piston 29, the water side valve element 27, the hot water side pressure piston 30, the water side pressure piston 31
Turns. The hot-side valve body 26 and the water-side valve body 27
Are formed around the swirling blades 61 and 62 which generate a rotational force in the same direction in response to the flow of hot and cold water. That is, the swirling vanes 61 and 62 are formed by fixing several blades to the outer periphery of the hot water side valve element 26 and the water side valve element 27 at an angle of about 40 degrees with respect to the axis of the valve shaft 28. Hot water or water flows from the hot water side flow path 23 and the water side flow path 24 to the mixing flow path 41.
When flowing, the hot water flows while hitting the swirling vanes 61 and 62, so that the hot water flow force causes the hot water valve body 26, the partition piston 29, the water side valve body 27, and the hot water pressure piston 3.
0, the water-side pressure piston 31, and the valve shaft 28 are swiveled together.
By performing this turning, it is possible to prevent the mixing valve body 25 from being fixed by the dust between the partitioning piston 29 and the cylinder 63. This is because foreign matter such as dust is simultaneously swirled by the swiveling of the partition piston 29 and the like, and is dispersed and flows away without concentrating on a part, and accumulation of water scale and the like is prevented by swirling. Conceivable. Even in a simulated garbage endurance test due to garbage mixing, the effect of preventing the mixing valve body 25 from sticking due to the turning is remarkable. Not only that, but also swirl wings 61,
With the configuration provided with 62, the sliding resistance when moving in the axial direction of the valve shaft 28 is reduced by the fact that the hot water side valve body 26, the partition piston 29, the water side valve body 27, the valve shaft 28, and the like rotate together. There is also an effect that the mixture ratio can be minimized, and the mixture ratio can be controlled smoothly and faithfully in the control of the hot-water-side pilot pressure variable means 39 and the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40.

Further, the hot water mixing apparatus of the above embodiment is provided in the hot water pilot pressure introducing passage 34 and has a shape memory alloy of the hot water pilot pressure variable means 39 for driving the hot water pilot valve 34 by electric heating. 51 and the shape memory alloy 54 of the water-side pilot pressure variable means 40 which is provided in the water-side pilot pressure introduction passage 35 and drives the water-side pilot valve 53 by energizing heating. Since the configuration is cooled by water, the shape memory alloys 51 and 54 can be deformed or quickly returned to the original shape or responsively changed according to the amount of energization depending on the amount of energization. For example, variable control of the mixture ratio of hot water and water can be performed with a response speed several times faster than in the case of driving with a geared motor or the like or using a shape memory alloy in the air.

Further, the hot water mixing apparatus of the above-described embodiment has the above-described configuration, in which the shape memory alloy wires 51 and 54 are energized and heated to open the hot pilot valve seat 49 and the water pilot valve seat 52 in the opening direction. Pilot valve 50
And the water side pilot valve 53 is driven, and the pressure acting on the hot water side pressure piston 30 and the water side pressure piston 31 changes. Accordingly, the hot water side valve body 26, the partitioning piston 29, and the water side valve body 27 which are connected to each other are moved by the pressure balance action, so that the mixing ratio of hot water and water is varied. In addition, both the hot-water-side pilot valve 50 and the water-side pilot valve 53 move in a direction to close the hot-water-side pilot valve seat 49 and the water-side pilot valve seat 52 against the water pressure from the primary flow path 24 of the water-side valve body 27. The shape memory alloy wire 5 is urged by bias springs 55 and 56.
Since the valve opening is controlled by the energization heating control of 1, 54, when the hot water side pilot valve 50 and the water side pilot valve 53 shift from the closed state to the open state,
At the time of the reverse operation, the rapid pressure change acting on the hot water side pilot valve 50 or the water side pilot valve 53 can be prevented, and hot water mixing control with excellent control stability can be performed.
For example, if the hot water side pilot valve 50 and the water side pilot valve 53 are supposed to be operated by the water pressure from the primary side flow path 24 of the water side valve body 27 and the bias springs 55 and 56,
Hot water side pilot valve seat 49 and water side pilot valve seat 52
Is urged in the closing direction, and the shape memory alloy wire 51,
When the valve opening is controlled by the energization heating control of 54, the fluid acting force in the closing direction of the hot water side pilot valve 50 or the water side pilot valve 53 suddenly changes at the moment of starting to open and the moment of closing. However, the opening and closing ends suddenly change, and as a result, the opening and closing of the hot-side valve element 26 and the water-side valve element 27 become abrupt, which may cause a so-called water hammer phenomenon. Absent. In the case of the above embodiment, such a water hammer can be prevented.

The contraction effect of the shape memory alloy wires 51 and 54 by the electric heating and the elongation by the water cooling cause the hot-side pilot valve 50 and the water-side pilot valve 53.
When the valve opening degree is controlled, the shape memory alloy wires 51 and 54 have a small diameter of about 0.1 mm and a small heat capacity, so that quick heating and cooling can be performed, and hot water / water mixing control can be performed more quickly.

(3) Both the hot water side pilot valve and the water side pilot valve are biased by a bias spring in a direction to close the hot water side and water side pilot valve seats against the water pressure from the primary side flow path of the water side valve body. Since the valve is opened by energizing and heating the shape memory alloy wire, when the hot-water-side pilot valve and the water-side pilot valve transition from the closed state to the open state, or in the reverse operation, A sudden change in pressure acting on the water-side pilot valve can be prevented, and hot water mixing control with excellent control stability can be performed. In addition, since the shape memory alloy wire is thin and has a small heat capacity, it is possible to perform hot water mixing control with a faster response.
