TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a liquid removing device, and more particularly to a device for removing a soap solution or shampoo in a bathroom, a toilet, a toilet, or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a liquid take-out device has a container as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. In some cases, the valve is opened by pushing the valve by hand, and the liquid is taken out by dropping due to the gravity.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when the soap solution is taken out, sometimes the soap solution does not come out when the valve mechanism is pushed by hand. The reason for this is that the soap liquid easily solidifies when it comes into contact with air, and the solidification tends to start from about four days.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, in a conventional structure, the soap liquid is in a portion immediately in contact with the outside air just across the check valve 9, and tends to be in contact with the air and harden. Further, since there is no means for stopping the leakage of the liquid outside the check valve, there is a problem in the safety of the leakage.
In particular, a place that is easily exposed to air, such as a discharge pipe for taking out a liquid, tends to solidify, which is a problem. Further, when the pipe diameters of the discharge pipes are equal to each other as in the related art, it is difficult to determine in which part of the pipe the liquid accumulates.
[0004]
As a result, it is often necessary to remove the liquid removing mechanism from the container, and then to clean the inside of the discharge pipe and the pipe to remove the clogging. For this reason, the clogging and inspection of the discharge pipe and the pipe require manual operation, and particularly, the operation and inspection at a hotel outside a home or in a large residential area are difficult.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid take-out device which can solve the above problems and can prevent liquid clogging.
[0006]
Further, in this type of conventional liquid removing device, after the liquid has been completely removed, the discharge of the liquid is stopped only by the check valve, so that if the valve is broken, there is a risk of leakage. However, it is an object of the present invention to obtain a liquid removing device having a sufficient seal configuration.
[0007]
Further, in the conventional liquid removing device, as shown in the conventional example of FIGS. 1 and 4 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 42-136648), since it is located on the back side of the pressing member 7, the user is located behind the pressing member 7. Must reach out, and the position is hard to see from above the user, so the liquid sometimes falls off the hand, but the present invention performs the pump action. An object of the present invention is to perform easy washing by making the inside of a discharge member a liquid flow passage and bringing a liquid discharge pipe closer to a hand to be washed.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, in a device for removing a liquid such as a soap solution, the base portion includes a detachable member having a check valve for suction to which the liquid container is detachably attached, and A pump mechanism is provided at the lower end of the attached / detachable member of the attached liquid container, and a discharge pipe for taking out a liquid is provided downward corresponding to the pump mechanism, and the discharge pipe has a tapered portion and an enlarged portion. And a liquid take-out device provided with a liquid solidification removing structure.
[0009]
In a liquid removing device including a detachable member for detachably attaching a liquid container, a main body, a discharge member that performs a pump action sliding in the main body, and a discharge pipe,
The liquid flows into the discharge member passage from the detachable member through the main body by sliding of the discharge member, and the flow flowing into the passage communicates with a discharge pipe from a flow path provided in a depth direction of the passage. The communication from the flow path to the discharge pipe is provided to provide a liquid removing device that is shut off and closed from the outside at a position where the discharge member stops, and is opened and connected when the discharge member is pressed.
[0010]
In a liquid removing device including a detachable member for detachably attaching a liquid container, a main body, a discharge member that performs a pump action sliding in the main body, and a discharge pipe, the discharge pipe is near an end of a stationary position of the discharge member. The liquid is prevented from being unnecessarily dissipated from the user by being provided inside.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows one of the embodiments of the liquid removing apparatus according to the present invention.
[0012]
In the case shown in FIG. 2, an example is shown in which the liquid take-out device 1 is mounted in a device that houses the liquid container 8 (in FIG. 2, the device is mounted on a wall surface).
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the liquid container 8 containing the soap solution is fixed to a wall surface of a washroom or the like via an appropriate attachment. The liquid extracting device 1 is provided with a liquid container 8 containing a shampoo or the like detachably on the liquid extracting device 1 with the liquid outlet facing downward. In any of the mounting examples, the liquid removing device 1 of the present invention can be applied.
[0013]
The liquid container 4 is attached to the screw portion 30 of the detachable portion 3 of the unloading device 1 by screwing with a screw external to the liquid container 8.
[0014]
A spherical check valve 300 is accommodated in the attachment / detachment section 3 in a valve seat 301. The check valve 300 closes or opens the suction port 302. The detachable unit 3 is attached to the main body 2 of the liquid extracting device 1.
The main body 2 has a cylindrical shape, and has a discharge member 4 therein, and slides in the main body 2 to perform a pumping operation.
[0015]
The structure of the discharge member 4 includes a main body portion 40, a check valve 400 is provided in the main body portion 40, and is housed in a valve seat 401, and is constantly pressed rightward in FIG. Have been.
On the line of the valve seat 401, there is a conduit 403 through which the liquid flows, and a flow path 404 connected downward is provided at the end on the back side. Check valve 400 closes or opens opening 402. For replacement or repair of the check valve 400, an end portion has an insertion portion 41 having an opening 402, and is attached into the main body portion 40 with a screw.
The flow path 404 communicates with or is closed by the discharge pipe 5 at the lower end of the discharge member 4.
[0016]
The discharge member 4 is preferably provided with seal members 200, 200 between the discharge member 4 and the main body 2 to prevent leakage to the discharge tube 5 side when the discharge member 4 slides. I have. In order to prevent leakage to the discharge tube 5 when the discharge member 4 is not operating and still, the seal member 200 is located at a position where the flow path 404 and the discharge tube 5 are blocked and closed as shown in FIG. Provided.
[0017]
The shape of the discharge tube 5 is a tapered portion 500 that is gradually reduced, and an enlarged portion 501 that is enlarged at the lower end.
In this embodiment, the check valve applied to such a reciprocating pump has a spherical shape, but it is needless to say that other well-known check valves having a plate shape or the like can be applied. .
[0018]
In this situation, when the liquid drips, the liquid is set at the lower end of the tapered portion 500.
On the other side, the enlarged portion 501 is in an enlarged shape, so that it is difficult to solidify.
In a conventional pipe having the same diameter, it is not fixed where the liquid is stored in the pipe, but in the present invention, the location where the liquid is stored is specified.
[0019]
An abutting member 42 for sliding the ejection member 4 protrudes outside the main body 40 including the conduit 403 of the ejection member 4 in the main body 2.
The contact member 42 may be pressed directly by hand, or may be pressed via a suitable rotary pressing member 7 as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 or 4 showing a conventional example shows a pressing member 7.
[0020]
When the contact member 40 is pushed and the discharge member 4 moves to the left in FIG. 2 against the spring 201, the check valve 300 closes upward. Further, when going to the right in FIG. 2 in the opposite direction, the check valve 300 opens downward, while the check valve 400 is closed, so that the check valve 300 is formed by the main body 40 and the main body 2. The liquid from the liquid container 8 is sucked into the space to be formed.
As described above, since the check valves 300 and 400 which allow the flow in one direction are freely supported by removing the spring as in the related art, no extra parts are required.
[0021]
Next, when the discharge member 4 moves to the left in FIG. 2, the check valve 400 is opened, and the liquid sucked from the liquid container 8 is sucked into the pipe 403.
Next, when the discharge member 4 moves rightward in the figure, the check valve 400 closes, and the liquid sucked into the pipe 403 is discharged, flows from the flow path 404 to the discharge pipe 5, and is discharged to the outside. At the same time, the check valve 300 is opened to suck the liquid from the container.
[0022]
When the discharge member 4 stops at the right end of the main body 2 in FIG. 2 by the spring 201, the main body 40 of the discharge member 4 is configured to be in a position where it passes through the discharge pipe 5 and closes. Therefore, a member such as a check valve for special closing is not required. In addition, since the inlet of the discharge pipe 5 is closed by the main body 40 of the discharge member 4, it is not as light as the conventional check valve, and the sealing effect can be enhanced.
Further, in the closed position, the inside does not come into contact with air, so that it is not easy to solidify.
[0023]
The liquid sucked into the conduit 403 travels from the flow path 404 to the discharge pipe 5, and as shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the discharge pipe 5 is a tapered portion 500 that is gradually reduced, and the lower end is formed. , The liquid becomes a fast downward flow and is accelerated.
On the other hand, the accelerated liquid flows out because the enlarged portion 501 has an enlarged shape, and does not stop at the enlarged portion 501 and does not solidify.
With such a configuration, it can be seen that the liquid hardly accumulates in the discharge tube 5.
[0024]
When the discharge is stopped, the liquid hardly stays in the enlarged portion 501, but in the case where the liquid stays, the liquid dares to easily accumulate in the lower end portion 510 of the tapered portion 500.
[0025]
When the discharge member 4 is reused, the liquid does not stay in the enlarged portion 501 of the discharge tube 5 and remains in the lower end portion 510 of the tapered portion 500. And flows into the discharge tube 5 from the outlet.
The inflowing liquid has a tapered shape, and is gradually pressed and pushed in, and pushes out the liquid material accumulated at the lower end portion 510.
As a result, it was found from experiments that when the liquid was not used after being taken out, the problem that the liquid hardened and could not be taken out was solved.
As described above, even if the liquid is solidified, it is not necessary to perform any special operation, and it is possible to automatically remove the clogging at the same time as the ordinary operation of discharging the liquid.
[0026]
In addition, the shape of the discharge tube 5 is such that the tapered portion and the enlarged portion are gradually reduced in comparison with the tapered portion 500 having a gradually decreasing cross-section and the enlarged portion 501 having an enlarged shape at the lower end. It may be a combination of curves or gradually increasing curves.
Alternatively, the tapered portion may be curved and the enlarged portion may be linear in cross section, and vice versa.
[0027]
In addition, since the position of the discharge pipe 5 is such that the inside of the discharge member 4 is used as a liquid passage, the outlet flow path 404 can be provided closer to the abutment member 42. In this case, there is no advantage that an outlet is provided far away from the abutment member 42 as in the prior art, so that there is an advantage that the liquid does not leak from the hand.
[0028]
In this embodiment, the liquid removing device is installed in the horizontal direction, and the discharge pipe and the liquid container are installed in the vertical direction. However, various other installation methods can be implemented by those skilled in the art.
[0029]
Although the liquid-solidification automatic removal structure according to the present invention has been described using a soap liquid as an example, other liquids may of course be used.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the clogging due to the liquid pool, which has been a problem when the liquid is taken out from the liquid container containing the liquid, and the discharge member is shut off and closed from the outside, and a special device is provided. It can be automatically removed at the same time as performing the normal liquid removal operation without the need for tools and equipment.
[0031]
Also, in this type of conventional liquid removing device, after the liquid has been completely removed, the discharge of the liquid is stopped only by the check valve. Therefore, if the valve is broken or does not completely close, the leakage may not occur. Although there was a danger, in the present invention, since the sealing is performed by the discharge member itself, a liquid removing device having a sufficient sealing configuration was obtained.
[0032]
Furthermore, the present invention improves the discharge member that performs a pumping operation, and the inside of the discharge member is used as a flow passage, so that the liquid discharge pipe can be brought closer to the direction in which the user can wash his / her hands, and thus easy cleaning can be performed. I did it.
