Description

  The present invention relates to a water discharge device in a faucet facility, and more particularly to a device having a feature in a switching mechanism between shower water discharge and straight water discharge.

Conventionally, a water discharge device in a faucet facility can usually switch between shower water discharge and straight water discharge in a bundle of straight streams.
Therefore, in the conventional water discharge device, the shower water discharge port and the straight water discharge port are arranged at different positions. Specifically, the straight water discharge port is arranged at the center, and the shower water discharge port is arranged on the outer peripheral side so as to surround the straight water discharge port. The switching means switches between shower water discharge from the shower water discharge port and straight water discharge from the straight water discharge port.
The switching means in this case is such that one of the water discharge path to the shower water discharge opening and the water discharge path to the straight water discharge opening is closed and the other is opened, or one is opened and the other is closed.

FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 show an example of a conventional water discharge device provided with such switching means (Patent Document 1 below).
In FIG. 14, reference numeral 200 denotes a water discharge device provided in the water discharge head 202 in the faucet equipment, 204 denotes a straight water discharge port provided in the center of the water sprinkling member 206, and 208 denotes an outer peripheral side so as to surround the straight water discharge port 204. Is a shower spout formed of a large number of small shower holes 208a.

210 and 212 are water discharge paths to the straight water discharge port 204 and the shower water discharge port 208, and are formed independently of each other. Reference numerals 214 and 216 (see FIG. 15) are communication openings provided in communication with the water discharge channels 210 and 212.
These communication openings 214 and 216 are provided so as to penetrate the valve plate 218.
A valve body 220 switches the water discharge paths 210 and 212 and is operatively connected to a seesaw type switch operation unit 226 via an arm 222 and a shaft 224.

In the water discharge device 200 shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, when the left end portion of the switch operation unit 226 is pushed from the front (right side in FIG. 14), the valve body 220 rotates together with the shaft 224 and the arm 222. As shown in FIG. 15A, one communication opening 214 is closed and the other communication opening 216 is opened. That is, the water discharge path 210 to the straight water discharge outlet 204 is closed, and the water discharge path 212 to the shower water discharge opening 208 is opened.
Here, the water supply is led to the shower spout 208 and is discharged from there.

On the other hand, when the right end portion of the switch operation portion 226 is pushed, the valve body 220 is in a state where one communication opening 214 is opened and the other communication opening 216 is closed as shown in FIG. . That is, the water discharge path 210 leading to the straight water discharge opening 204 is opened, and the water discharge path 212 reaching the shower water discharge opening 208 is closed.
Here, the water supply is guided to the straight spout 204, and is spouted straight out from there with a bundle of straight streams.

  However, in the case of the water discharge device 200 shown here, since the straight water discharge port 204 and the shower water discharge port 208 are separately provided, the water discharge area by each of the straight water discharge port 204 and the shower water discharge port 208 must be narrowed, Along with this, the number of the shower holes 208a is limited, and the diameter of the straight water outlet 204 is limited, which makes it difficult to realize comfortable shower water discharge and straight water discharge.

Further, the switching mechanism for switching between shower water discharge and straight water discharge becomes complicated, and accordingly, the entire water discharge device 200 is inevitably increased in size, detracting from aesthetics and limiting the degree of freedom of design. There was a problem to do.
In addition, another prior art for the present invention is disclosed in Patent Document 2 below.

JP 2001-11916 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-4001

During straight water discharge, the switching means converts the shower flow by the shower water discharge portion into a straight flow by the straight water discharge portion located on the downstream side of the shower water discharge portion, and discharges water. When discharging water, the shower flow from the shower water discharge portion is not converted into a straight flow at the straight water discharge portion, and the shower water is discharged as it is. And the shower water discharger and the straight water discharger are arranged in a state where the straight water discharger overlaps in the water discharge direction in a state where the straight water discharger is located downstream of the shower water discharger in both the straight water discharge and the shower water discharge. In addition, the shower water discharger and the straight water discharger can be relatively approached and separated in the water discharge direction, and the switching means switches between the straight water discharger and the shower water discharger at the time of shower water discharge. While moving relatively, the shower flow from the shower water spouting portion does not hit the straight water spouting portion, and is directly switched to a position passing through the through hole of the straight water spouting portion, while shower water is discharged. Moving the straight water discharge portion and the shower water discharge portion relatively apart from each other so that the shower flow is Is switched to a position that passes through the through hole after having hit the water discharger, characterized in that the shower flow from the shower water discharger are no so as to straight spouting by merging by the straight water discharger.

Effects and effects of the invention

  As described above, the present invention converts the shower flow from the shower water discharge portion into a straight flow by the straight water discharge portion located on the downstream side of the shower water discharge portion by the switching means at the time of straight water discharge. Therefore, according to the present invention, since the shower flow is converted into a straight flow and discharged during straight water discharge, a wide water discharge area can be secured during straight water discharge, and a comfortable straight water discharge can be realized. Can do.

  Moreover, since the switching means only needs to move the straight water discharge portion relatively close to the shower water discharge portion during straight water discharge, the switching mechanism in such a switching means can be simply configured with a simple structure, thereby making the water discharge device compact. It is possible to achieve a beautiful appearance and improve the degree of freedom of design.

  In the present invention, the shower flow from the shower water discharge unit is not converted into a straight flow at the straight water discharge unit at the time of shower water discharge, so that the straight water discharge and the shower water discharge are the same. Water can be discharged using the water discharge surface, and not only straight water discharge but also shower water discharge can be discharged over a wide water discharge area, and comfortable straight water discharge and shower water discharge can be realized.

Here, the straight water discharge portion is made by disposing a large number of water through holes.
In this case, the straight water discharge part can be comprised with the mesh-shaped member.

  In the present invention, the shower water discharger and the straight water discharger are arranged in a state where the straight water discharger overlaps in the water discharge direction in the state where the straight water discharger is located on the downstream side of the shower water discharger in both the straight water discharge and the shower water discharge. The shower water discharger and the straight water discharger can be relatively approached and separated in the water discharge direction, and the straight water discharger and the shower water discharger are relatively approached or separated by the switching means. The shower water discharge and the straight water discharge are switched, and the shower water discharge unit and the straight water discharge unit are simply moved closer to or away from each other by the switching means. It is possible to switch between straight water discharge.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings together with a reference example.
In FIG. 1, 10 is a kitchen sink, 12 is a sink, 14 is a cabinet, 16 is a counter, and a kitchen faucet (water faucet equipment) 18 is installed on the counter 16.
In this example, the kitchen faucet 18 is a single lever type mixing faucet, 20 is a faucet body, and an operation lever 22 is provided on the upper part of the faucet body so as to be turnable in the horizontal and vertical directions.
A water discharge pipe 24 extends forward from the faucet body 20 toward the upper side of the sink 12, and a water discharge device 28 is provided at a water discharge head 26 at the distal end thereof.

The specific structure of the water discharging apparatus 28 is shown in FIG. 2 (FIGS. 2-4 shows a reference example).
As shown in the figure, the water discharger 28 is composed of a joint body 30, a cylindrical tubular member 32, a straight water discharge portion 36 made of a mesh-like member, and a shower water discharge portion 34 made of a plate-like member. A water discharge unit 38 is included as a main element.
A male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the joint body 30, and the joint body 30 in the male screw is screwed into and attached to the female screw on the inner peripheral surface of the water discharge port opening 40 of the water discharge head 26. Yes.

Here, the joint body 30 and the central hole 42 of the water discharge head 26 are sealed in a watertight manner by a sealing member 44 having an annular elasticity.
The space between the outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the joint body 30 and the cylindrical member 32 is also sealed watertight by a sealing member 46 having an annular elasticity.
Further, the joint body 30 is provided with a communication hole 60 in the vertical direction in the figure for communicating the upstream portion and the downstream portion thereof.

  The cylindrical member 32 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the joint body 30 and is fixed to the joint body 30 with a set screw 48 (see FIG. 4) in the fitted state.

The straight water discharge section 36 and the shower water discharge section 34 in the water discharge section unit 38 are assembled with each other in a state of overlapping in the water discharge direction.
The straight water discharge portion 36 made of this mesh member is a through hole 50 (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 2A) through which the mesh passes water.
On the other hand, the shower water spouting section 34 has a large number of shower holes 52 for spraying an independent trickle for each hole, and these are dispersedly arranged (see FIG. 2B).
The shower water discharger 34 allows the passing water to flow out in a shower-like manner, and here, the shower flow flows out in a direction that spreads outward with respect to the axis of the water discharge direction.

A shaft 54 extends laterally from the water discharge unit 38, that is, in a direction perpendicular to the water discharge direction.
The shaft 54 penetrates through the cylindrical member 32 and protrudes to the outside, and an operation knob 56 is fixed to the protruding outside by a fixture (here, a nut) 58 in an integrally rotated state.
In this example, the switching means is constituted by the shaft 54, the operation knob 56, the fixture 58, and the like.

In the water discharging device 28 of this example, by rotating the operation knob 56, the water discharging unit 38 is rotated 180 degrees around the axis perpendicular to the water discharging direction as shown in FIGS. Rotate and move (Figures (I) to (III) are all viewed from the axis 54 direction).
Then, by rotating the water discharge unit 38 by 180 °, the shower water discharge and the straight water discharge are switched.

FIG. 4I shows the shower water discharge state. At this time, the shower water discharge portion 34 is located downstream of the straight water discharge portion 36.
In this state, the water sent through the central hole 42 of the water discharge head 26 first passes through the through holes 50 of the straight water discharge unit 36 and then passes through the shower holes 52 of the shower water discharge unit 34, thereby An independent trickle is ejected downward for each hole 52.
That is, the shower flow from the shower water discharge unit 34 is discharged as it is to become shower water discharge.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (II), the water discharger unit 38 is rotated 180 ° from this state, and water is discharged in a state where the straight water discharger 36 is positioned downstream of the shower water discharger 34. And at this time, the water discharge becomes straight water discharge.
Specifically, the water sent through the center hole 42 first passes through the shower water discharge portion 34 and then flows downward as a shower flow.
The shower flow that has flowed out of the shower water discharge portion 34 hits the straight water discharge portion 36 made of a mesh-like member on the downstream side, and merges when passing through each through hole 50 and is discharged downward as a single straight flow. The
That is, the shower flow from the shower water discharge unit 34 passes through the straight water discharge unit 36, where it is converted into a straight flow and discharged downward (straight water discharge).

  As is apparent from the above description, in this example, the shower flow from the shower water discharge portion 34 does not pass through the through hole 50 of the straight water discharge portion 36 as it is, but once hits the straight water discharge portion 36 and merges from the through hole 50. It flows out downward. The straight water discharge part 36 is comprised in that way beforehand.

  According to the water discharge device 28 of the present example as described above, the shower flow from the shower water discharge unit 34 is converted into a straight flow by the straight water discharge unit 36 and discharged, and the shower from the shower water discharge unit 34 is discharged during shower discharge. Since the flow is discharged as it is, a large water discharge area can be secured for straight water discharge and shower water discharge, and comfortable straight water discharge and shower water discharge can be realized.

  In addition, according to this example, the shower water discharge unit 34 and the straight water discharge unit 36 in the overlapping state are simply rotated by the operation knob 56, and both the shower water discharge and the straight water discharge are simply performed by reversing the downstream position. The switching mechanism can be simply configured with a simple structure. As a result, the water discharge device 28 can be made compact, the appearance is good, and the degree of design freedom can be increased.

5 and 6 show other reference examples.
As shown in FIG. 5, in this example, the joint body 62 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the upper end portion thereof is connected to the water discharge head 26 via a screw ring 64.
Specifically, the male screw on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the joint body 62 is screwed to the female screw on the inner peripheral surface of the screw ring 64, and the male screw on the outer peripheral surface of the screw ring 64 is an opening for the water outlet of the water discharge head 26. The joint body 62 is attached and fixed to the opening 40 by the screw ring 64.

The joint body 62 is configured as a shower water spouting portion 34 having a bottom portion in which a large number of shower holes 52 are dispersedly arranged.
That is, in this example, the shower water discharger 34 is integrally formed with the joint body 62.

Reference numeral 66 denotes a straight water discharge portion, and the straight water discharge portion 66 is formed integrally with the cylindrical member 67.
The cylindrical member 67 has an inward flange portion 68 at the upper end portion, and the flange portion 68 is fitted in an annular groove 70 of the joint body 62, and the flange portion 68 and the groove 70 are fitted to each other. The cylindrical member 67 is attached to the joint main body 62 so as to be rotatable and prevented from being pulled out. That is, the straight water discharge portion 66 can rotate around the axis of the water discharge direction with respect to the shower water discharge portion 34.
In this example, the cylindrical member 67, the flange portion 68, and the annular groove 70 constitute switching means.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the straight water discharge portion 66 is configured in a mesh shape by a large number of radiating portions 72 and a large number of concentric circumferential portions 74, and a large number of meshes are formed there. The mesh portions are formed so as to form through holes 76 in the straight water discharge portion 66.
In this example, the shower holes 52 in the shower water discharger 34 are also arranged radially and in a number of concentric circles as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 5A, reference numeral 77 denotes a strainer for removing foreign matter.

In this example, the tubular member 67 is rotated around the axial center in the water discharge direction, thereby changing the relative rotational position of the straight water discharge portion 66 integrally formed with the shower water discharge portion 34 to thereby change the shower water discharge. And straight water discharge can be switched.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the operation.

  FIG. 6 (I) shows the state during shower water discharge. At this time, the shower hole 52 of the shower water discharge part 34 and the through hole 76 of the straight water discharge part 66 are in a state of being matched with each other. The shower flow passes through the through hole 76 of the straight water discharge section 66 and is discharged to the outside without hitting the straight water discharge section 66.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 (II) shows a state in which the cylindrical member 67 is rotated from this state, and the rotation position of the straight water discharge portion 66 is switched to the position during straight water discharge.
As shown in the figure, at this time, the through hole 76 of the straight water discharger 66 is in a state of mismatching (non-matching state) with the shower hole 52 of the shower water discharger 34, and the shower flow from the shower water discharger 34 is The water strikes and joins the straight water discharge portion 66, and is discharged through the through hole 76 of the straight water discharge portion 66 downward as a single straight flow (straight water discharge).

  According to this example, it is possible to easily switch between shower water discharge and straight water discharge simply by relatively rotating the shower water discharge unit 34 and the straight water discharge unit 36 and changing the rotation position thereof.

7 and 8 show still another reference example.
As shown in FIG. 7, in this example, the straight water discharge portion 66 is formed integrally with a thin plate-like slide plate 92, and this is integrated with the slide plate 92 with respect to the shower water discharge portion 34. It can slide in the middle and left and right directions. That is, the straight water discharge part 66 can be slid in a direction perpendicular to the water discharge direction with respect to the shower water discharge part 34.
In addition, the point that the straight water discharging part 66 is comprised by the mesh form is the same as that of said example. Particularly in this example, the mesh configuration is basically the same as that of the straight water discharge portion 66 shown in FIG.
In the case of this example, the slide plate 92 forms a switching means.

In this example, the shower water discharge and the straight water discharge can be switched by sliding the slide plate 92 in the horizontal direction in the drawing.
FIG. 8 (I) shows the state at the time of shower water discharge.
In this state, the shower hole 52 of the shower water discharger 34 and the through hole 76 of the straight water discharger 66 are in agreement, and the shower flow from the shower water discharger 34 is straight without hitting the straight water discharger 66. The shower water is discharged to the outside through the through hole 76 of the water discharger 66.

  On the other hand, when the slide plate 92 is slid in the left and right direction in the figure (left direction in the figure in this example) in this state and switched to the straight water discharge state as shown in FIG. The shower flow from 34 comes into contact with the straight water discharge portion 66, and the shower flow merges at the straight water discharge portion 66 and is discharged as a straight flow from each through hole 76 (straight water discharge).

  According to this example, the shower water discharge and the straight water discharge can be easily switched by simply operating the slide plate 92 and sliding the straight water discharge portion 66 relative to the shower water discharge portion 34.

Next, FIGS. 9 and 10 show an embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, a straight water discharge portion 66 having a mesh shape is integrally formed with the cylindrical member 78.
The cylindrical member 78 can be moved in the vertical direction in the figure by rotating the operation ring 80.
That is, the straight water discharge portion 66 can move in the vertical direction in FIG. 9A with respect to the shower water discharge portion 34 integrally formed as the bottom portion of the joint body 62, that is, in the approach and separation directions with respect to the shower water discharge portion 34 (water discharge). It can be moved in the direction).

In this embodiment, an inward flange portion 68 is provided at the upper end portion of the operation ring 80, and the flange portion 68 is rotatably fitted in an annular groove 70 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the joint body 62. The operation ring 80 is attached to the joint body 62 so as to be prevented from being rotated and to be rotatable.
Two guide grooves 81 having a spiral shape are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the operation ring 80, and two spiral projecting portions 82 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 78 are formed therein. 81 is fitted so as to be slidable relatively.
In this embodiment, the cylindrical member 78, the operation ring 80, the flange portion 68, the annular groove 70, the spiral guide groove 81, the protruding portion 82, and the like constitute switching means.

In the case of this embodiment, when the operation ring 80 is rotated, the cylindrical member 78 is moved in the vertical direction in FIG. 9A by the guiding action of the guide groove 81 and the protruding portion 82, that is, the water discharging direction, and the straight water discharging portion 66 is moved. It moves toward and away from the shower water discharger 34.
In order to prevent the cylindrical member 78 from rotating together when the operation ring 80 is rotated, the cylindrical member 78 is formed with a slide claw 84 protruding on the inner peripheral side, and the slide claw 84 is provided on the joint body 62. The vertical keyway 86 is slidably inserted in the vertical direction in the figure.

FIG. 10 shows the shower water discharge state and straight water discharge state.

FIG. 10 (I) shows a state at the time of shower water discharge. At this time, the straight water discharge unit 66 is close to the shower water discharge unit 34, specifically, the straight water discharge unit 66 is here with respect to the shower water discharge unit 34. In this case, the shower flow from the shower water discharger 34 does not hit the straight water discharger 66 but passes through the through hole 76 of the straight water discharger 66 and is discharged downward.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (II), the shower flow from the shower water discharger 34 is in a state where the straight water discharger 66 is spaced downward from the shower water discharger 34 in the figure (switched during straight water discharge). Hits the straight water discharge portion 66 and merges there and passes through the through-hole 76 and is discharged straight downward.

  According to the present embodiment, the shower water discharge and the straight water discharge can be easily switched by simply moving the shower water discharge unit 34 and the straight water discharge unit 66 relatively close to or away from each other by the operation ring 80.

11 and 12 show still another embodiment of the present invention.
This embodiment is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 in that the straight water discharger 66 switches between shower water discharge and straight water discharge as the shower water discharger 34 approaches or separates from the shower water discharger 34. In the embodiment, the cylindrical member 78 is provided with an air intake port 88.
However, the air intake port 88 is provided at a position that is open to the outside during straight water discharge shown in FIG.

The shower flow from the section 34 is discharged downward as it is without hitting the straight water discharge section 66.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (II), in the state where the straight water discharge section 66 is located at a position spaced downward from the shower water discharge section 34 in the figure, the shower flow from the shower water discharge section 34 hits the straight water discharge section 66. From there, water is discharged (straight water discharge) as a bundle of straight streams.

At this time, the trickle ejected from the shower hole 52 at the outer peripheral portion hits the tapered portion 90 at the outer peripheral portion of the lower end of the cylindrical member 78, more specifically, the annular tapered portion 90 whose upper surface protrudes inward with a tapered surface. Thus, an inward rebound is generated, and a substantially sealed annular space is formed on the outside thereof.
When water is discharged in this state, a negative pressure is generated in the annular space, and external air is taken into the inside from the air intake port 88 based on the negative pressure, and the taken-in air is mixed with the discharged water flow. Thus, the straight water discharge from the straight water discharge section 66 becomes a foam flow mixed with air.

FIG. 13 shows still another reference example, and this embodiment is an example in which the straight water discharge portion 94 is configured in a form in which the mesh-like portion is omitted in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
In this example, as shown in FIG. 13 (I), the straight water discharge portion 94 is in the raised position together with the cylindrical member 78 during shower water discharge, and the shower flow from the shower water discharge portion 34 is discharged downward as it is. Spitting water).
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13 (II), when the straight water discharge portion 94 is in the lowered position together with the cylindrical member 78, the outer peripheral portion of the shower flow from the shower water discharge portion 34 is the tapered portion 90 in the straight water discharge portion 94. Then, an inward rebound is generated, and the entire shower flow is discharged downward as a bundle of straight flow by the rebound water (straight water discharge).

  Also in this example, air is taken into the space of the outer peripheral portion through the air intake port 88, and the taken-in air is mixed with the discharged water flow to become a foam flow.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference examples, these are merely examples, and the present invention can be configured in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
