A hand-held soap solution supply pump 5 is disposed between each tap 1, and each soap solution supply pump 5 is detachably attached to a pump attachment port 4 formed at the upper end of the tank assembly 2. ing.
[0012]
The tank assembly 2 includes a plurality of short cylindrical main tank structures 6 having pump attachment ports 4 and a plurality of connecting tanks having the same outer diameter as the main tank structures 6 and longer than the main tank structure 6. 1 comprises a structure 7 and a pair of left and right closing lids 8. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the tank structure 6 is disposed at a position between the water taps 1, and the tank structure 6 is connected to each other by a connected tank structure. The connecting tank constituent body 7 is connected to the remaining ends of the tank constituent bodies 6 at the left and right ends, and the closing lid 8 is attached to the connecting tank constituent bodies 7 at the left and right ends. . The tank structural body 6, the connecting tank structural body 7 and the closing lid 8 are all made of translucent polyethylene so that the amount of liquid in the tank can be visually recognized from the outside.
[0013]
2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1. The tank assembly 2 is placed on, for example, a horizontal base 10 of a hand washing place, and is The pair of square outward ribs 19 prevents rolling.
[0014]
FIG. 3 is an exploded partial perspective view of the soap solution supply device. A pump mounting port 4 is formed in a cylindrical male screw 10 formed at the upper end of the tank constituting body 6. A mounting lid 12 of the liquid supply pump 5 is detachably screwed. The basic structure of the soap solution supply pump 5 is a hand-knob type pump that is frequently used for shampoos and liquid soap containers. Is provided with a discharge nozzle 14 extending downward and downward, and provided with a suction pipe 16 extending to the bottom of the tank structure 6 at the lower part. By pushing down the hand push knob 13 against the elastic member, the tank structure A soap solution is sucked from the bottom of the body 6 and discharged from the discharge nozzle 14 by a certain amount.
[0015]
A female screw 20 is engraved on the inner periphery of each opening of the tank constituting body 6 as a connecting portion. On the other hand, a female screw of the main tank constituting body 6 is provided as a connecting portion on both ends of the connecting tank constituting body 7. A male screw 21 that can be screwed to 20 is formed, and a female screw 22 that can be screwed to the male screw 21 of the connecting tank constituting body 7 is formed on the inner periphery of the opening end of the closing lid 8.
[0016]
【assembly】
First, the soap solution supply pump 5, the main body tank constituting body 6, and the connecting tank constituting body 7 are prepared according to the number of water faucets in the hand washing place to be installed and the interval between the water faucets. For example, when there are four water taps 1 as shown in FIG. 1, three soap tanks 5, three main tank components 6, four connected tank components 7, 2 A single closing lid 8 is prepared. In addition, when it is desired to install the soap solution supply pump 5 for each water tap 1, the number of the soap solution supply pump 5 and the main tank component 6 is increased to four each.
[0017]
The main tank structure 6, the connection tank structure 7, and the closing lid 8 are arranged in a row on the left and right as shown in FIG. A soap solution supply pump 5 is detachably attached to the attachment port 4. In addition, the screw connection part of this tank structure 6, the connection tank structure 7, and the obstruction | occlusion lid | cover 8 is maintained in the sealing state using the seal tape etc., for example.
[0018]
The tank assembly 2 assembled as described above is placed, for example, on a table 10 in a hand washing place, one of the soap solution supply pumps 5 is removed, and the soap solution is supplied to the entire tank assembly 2.
[0019]
[Use state]
During use, the soap solution in the tank assembly 2 is uniformly reduced regardless of the difference in use frequency between the soap solution supply pumps 5. Therefore, the soap solution in the tank assembly 2 can be used efficiently without the soap solution remaining in any part.
[0020]
[Liquid replenishment work]
In the case of replenishing the soap solution, I is removed from the three soap solution supply pumps 5 and the entire tank assembly 2 is replenished with the soap solution from its attachment port 4. That is, the liquid can be replenished to the whole tank assembly 2 by pouring from one place.
[0021]
[Other embodiments]
(1) FIG. 4 shows a modified example of the connecting tank structure 7, and the inner peripheral surface 7 a of the connecting tank structure 7 has a small diameter at the center in the length direction and increases in diameter toward both ends. It is formed in a tapered shape.
[0022]
By forming the inner peripheral surface 7a in a middle-high shape as described above, the bottom wall of the bottom tank is opened at both ends when the connecting tank constituent body 7 is fixed at any rotational position. As you go, it will be inclined so that it goes down. Therefore, when the remaining amount of the soap liquid in the tank assembly 2 is reduced, the soap liquid is collected at the lower part of the tank constituting body 6 and can be sucked by the suction pipe 16 of the pump 5 without waste. That is, the soap solution can be efficiently sucked into the tank assembly 2 without leaving it.
[0023]
(2) FIG. 5 shows an example of the tank holder 25, in which a tank support hole 26 is formed in a screen-like panel portion 25 b erected on the leg portion 25 a, and the tank assembly is formed in the support hole 26. 2 is supported by fitting.
[0024]
(3) When the tank assembly 2 is attached to a vertical wall surface, for example, the leg portion 25a of the tank holder 25 of FIG. 5 may be adhered to the wall surface, and a semicircular clamp member is used. It is also possible to attach.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
As explained above, according to the present invention,
(1) Since the tank assembly is configured by combining a plurality of main tank components having a pump attachment port, a plurality of connected tank components, and a closing lid, a water faucet for a hand washing place to be installed By changing the number of tank components, etc., according to the number and layout of the tank, the specifications of the device can be changed easily, providing a soap solution supply device with great installation flexibility and versatility. it can.
[0026]
(2) Since a common tank assembly is provided for a plurality of soap solution supply pumps, it is possible to remove the soap solution supply pump at one location and supply soap solution from its mounting port to the entire tank assembly. Soap liquid can be supplied, and the labor and labor of liquid replenishment work can be saved.
[0027]
(3) By connecting a connecting tank structure to the tank structure, a large capacity tank assembly is formed, and the tank assembly is a tank common to a plurality of soap solution supply pumps. Regardless of the frequency of use between the soap solution supply pumps, the soap solution in the tank assembly can be reduced uniformly, thereby extending the replenishment interval and reducing the time required for replenishment. be able to.
[0028]
(4) If the bottom wall of the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tank structure is inclined so as to decrease as it goes from the central portion in the length direction to both ends, when the remaining liquid in the tank assembly is reduced, The soap liquid collects in the tank body, and the remaining liquid can be sucked up efficiently and used effectively.
[0029]
(5) When the tank structure and the connection tank structure are formed in a cylindrical shape and a screw is formed as a connection portion, the manufacturing is simplified and the connection operation between the tank structure and the connection tank structure is performed. Is easy to do.
[0030]
(6) If the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical connecting tank structure is formed so that the diameter increases from the center in the length direction to both ends, any rotation is possible when the connecting tank structure is connected. Even if connected at an angle, the bottom of the connecting tank structure is always maintained in an inclined state so that both ends are lowered. For example, the first position can be determined without determining the rotational position using a positioning mechanism or the like. The effect of item (4) can be exhibited.
