  The present invention is based on the above situation, and even when the main body of the faucet is made of resin, the main body can be effectively prevented from being deformed, the main body is damaged or leaked due to the deformation of the main body, or The object of the present invention is to provide a faucet mounting structure that can eliminate the possibility of the faucet performance being deteriorated by the internal faucet function being affected by the deformation of the main body.

  Thus, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a resin body body having a cylindrical peripheral wall portion and having a faucet function portion incorporated therein is protruded from an attachment base at one end side in the axial direction. A faucet mounting structure for mounting and fixing to the mounting base by screwing a main body fixing nut into a male threaded portion on the outer surface of the portion, located on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion, and in a radial direction against the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion A ring-shaped stopper that contacts and regulates the expansion deformation of the peripheral wall portion is provided at a distance smaller than the radial gap between the male screw portion of the main body body and the female screw portion of the inner surface of the main body fixing nut. It is characterized in that it is provided close to the outer surface.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the main body fixing nut is made of resin, and the stopper is formed integrally with the main body fixing nut.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first and second aspects, the main body is formed into a shape having an opening at one end in the axial direction, and the faucet function portion is connected to the main body through the opening. The stopper is incorporated into the main body and is pressed against the main body by a functional part fixing nut screwed into the female thread on the inner surface of the one end of the main body, and the stopper Is disposed at a position facing the female thread portion of the main body body in the radial direction.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the third aspect of the present invention, the external thread portion of the main body and the internal thread portion of the inner surface are provided at different positions in the axial direction and not overlapping each other. .

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a resin-made main body having a cylindrical peripheral wall portion and having a faucet function portion incorporated therein is protruded from an attachment base at one end side in the axial direction, and the outer surface of the protruding portion A faucet mounting structure for mounting and fixing to a mounting base by screwing a main body fixing nut into a male screw portion of the main body body, wherein the main body has a shape having an opening at one end in the axial direction, and through the opening The faucet function part is incorporated into the body body, and the incorporated faucet function part is pressed against the body body with a function part fixing nut screwed into an internal thread part on the inner surface of the one end side of the body body. The male threaded portion of the main body is shifted from the female threaded portion of the main body body toward the center in the axial direction, and is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the female threaded portion. Yes, before The main body fixing nut is provided with a projecting portion that projects annularly inward in the radial direction at a position facing the female thread portion on the inner surface of the main body body after the screwing, and the projecting portion It is located close to the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion at a distance smaller than the radial gap between the male screw portion of the body and the internal thread portion of the inner surface of the main body fixing nut, and contacts the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion in the radial direction. A ring-shaped stopper that contacts and regulates the expansion deformation of the peripheral wall portion is formed.

Effects and effects of the invention

  As described above, according to the present invention, the resin body body into which the faucet function part is incorporated is protruded from the mounting base such as a counter on one end side in the axial direction, and the main body with respect to the external thread part of the protruding part It is fixed to the mounting base by screwing the fixing nut, and on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion of the main body, it is in a ring shape that abuts radially on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion to regulate the expansion deformation of the peripheral wall portion. The stopper is provided close to the outer surface of the peripheral wall, more specifically, in a state close to the radial gap between the male threaded portion on the outer surface of the main body and the female threaded portion on the inner surface of the main body fixing nut. is there.

  According to the present invention, when the peripheral wall portion of the main body body expands outward and is deformed, the peripheral wall portion is caused by the stopper action caused by the contact between the ring-shaped stopper located on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion and the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion. Can be effectively prevented.

  Therefore, even when the main body is made of resin, by preventing the peripheral deformation of the peripheral wall of the main body, there is no risk of damage to the main body or water leakage due to the deformation of the main body. It is possible to effectively prevent the faucet performance from being deteriorated by affecting the internal faucet function part.

When the ring-shaped stopper as described above is not provided, when the peripheral wall portion of the main body is expanded and deformed, a radial gap (clearance) between the female screw portion of the main body fixing nut and the male screw portion on the outer surface of the main body body is located at a certain point. Disappears, and the main body fixing nut and the main body are in a state where they hit the entire thread portion in the radial direction.
At that stage, the deformation of the main body is temporarily restricted, but the radial gap between the female threaded part of the main body fixing nut and the male threaded part of the main body is large in dimension, and therefore the deformation of the main body is suppressed to a small extent. I can't do it.

In this case, if the force from the main body is applied to the female threaded portion of the main body fixing nut and the threaded portion is damaged or the main body fixing nut is made of resin, the stress concentration on the trough of the female threaded portion As a result, the main body fixing nut cracks from there, and the main body fixing nut itself may be damaged.
However, in the present invention, since the ring-shaped stopper strikes against the body body before the male threaded portion of the main body comes into contact with the female threaded portion of the main body fixing nut, such a problem does not occur.

In the present invention, the main body fixing nut may be made of resin, and the ring-shaped stopper may be integrally formed with the main body fixing nut (claim 2).
In this way, the number of required parts and the number of assembly steps can be reduced as compared with the case where the ring-shaped stopper is configured separately from the main body fixing nut.

In addition, by forming the ring-shaped stopper integrally with the main body fixing nut, it is possible to reliably position the stopper in the radial position with the main body fixing nut screwed in, that is, the female screw of the main body fixing nut. The stopper can be accurately positioned so that the stopper is positioned close to the main body at a distance smaller than the radial gap between the portion and the male thread portion of the main body.
In addition, the stopper can be positioned at an appropriate position just by screwing the main body fixing nut.

  Further, in the present invention, the main body is shaped so as to have an opening at one end in the axial direction, the faucet function part is incorporated into the main body through the opening, and the incorporated faucet function part is connected to the main body body. The function part fixing nut screwed into the female threaded part on the inner surface of one end of the body is pressed against the main body and fixed, and the stopper is connected to the female thread on the inner surface of the main body that is the threaded part of the functional part fixing nut. It can arrange | position in the position which opposes a radial direction with respect to a part (Claim 3).

Since the main body is in a shape having an opening as described above, the side of the opening is likely to be deformed in the expanding direction.
In addition, a function part fixing nut that presses and fixes the faucet function part to the main body body is screwed into the female thread part on the inner surface of the main body body on the opening side, thereby opening the peripheral wall part side of the main body body. The reaction force at the time of screwing the functional part fixing nut is applied to the part as a force in the direction of expanding the main body, and the main body is more easily deformed.

  However, in this third aspect, with respect to the functional portion fixing nut that applies a deformation force in the expanding direction to the peripheral wall portion of the main body body, specifically, at a position opposed to the female screw portion on the inner surface of the main body body in the radial direction. Therefore, the deformation can be effectively prevented.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the external thread portion and the internal thread portion on the outer surface of the main body are provided at different positions in the axial direction and not overlapping each other.
The threaded part is a place where stress concentration is easy, and when such a threaded part is provided on both the inner surface and the outer surface of the main body at the same position in the axial direction, the female threaded part and the male threaded part are provided. The body body becomes weak in strength at the location.

Moreover, if the internal thread part and the external thread part are provided at the same position in the axial direction, the thickness of the main body becomes thin at that part, which also reduces the strength.
However, in this fourth aspect, since the female screw portion and the male screw portion are provided at different positions in the axial direction and at positions that do not overlap with each other, such inconvenience can be satisfactorily avoided.

In the present invention, by screwing the main body fixing nut to the external thread portion of the outer surface of the main body, the main body is fixed to the mounting base, and the main body has a shape having an opening at one end in the axial direction. The faucet function part is incorporated into the body body through the opening, and the incorporated faucet function part is pressed and fixed to the body body with the function part fixing nut screwed into the female thread part on the inner surface of the body body. None, and the male threaded part on the outer surface of the main body is shifted from the inner threaded part on the center side in the axial direction, and the main body fixing nut has a diameter on the female threaded part on the inner surface of the main body after screwing. It is possible to provide a projecting portion projecting in an annular shape radially inward at a position facing the direction, and the projecting portion can be configured as the above-described ring-shaped stopper.
According to the fifth aspect, the main body can be effectively prevented from expanding and deforming on the opening side.

It is sectional drawing which showed the attachment structure of the faucet of one Embodiment of this invention. It is the figure which expanded and showed the principal part of the same embodiment. It is the figure which decomposed | disassembled and showed the attachment structure of the embodiment.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a main part of the faucet. In this figure, 10 is a faucet body, 12 is a body body in the faucet body 10, and the body body 12 has a primary side water channel 14 on the inflow side, The secondary side water channel 16 on the outflow side is formed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the intermediate portion 30-3 is provided with a pair of projections 82 spaced apart from each other, while the upper portion 30-1 and the lower portion 30-2 have corresponding holes. A portion 84 is formed, and the upper portion 30-1, the lower portion 30-2, and the intermediate portion 30-3 are assembled vertically by fitting the hole portion 84 with the protrusion 82.

The peripheral wall portion 18 also has a female screw portion 31 on the inner surface of the upper end portion, and a functional portion fixing nut 35 having a male screw portion 33 on the outer surface is screwed therein.
The cartridge case 30 is fixed by being pressed downward with respect to the main body 12 by screwing in the function portion fixing nut 35.

A main valve 32 is disposed on the main water channel composed of the primary water channel 14 and the secondary water channel 16.
The main valve 32 is seated on a main valve seat 34 formed at the upper end of the cylindrical portion in the lower portion 30-2 to close the main water channel, and is separated from the main valve seat 34 upward in the figure to thereby remove the main water channel. The water is circulated from the primary side water channel 14 toward the secondary side water channel 16.
Further, the flow rate of the flowing water is increased or decreased according to the distance from the main valve seat 34, that is, the valve opening.

  The main valve 32 is a diaphragm valve, and includes a rubber diaphragm film 36 that also serves as a sealing material, and a hard main valve body 38 that holds the rubber film 36. A cartridge case 30 is provided at the outer periphery of the diaphragm film 36. It is fixed to.

A back pressure chamber 40 is formed behind the upper side of the main valve 32 in the figure.
The back pressure chamber 40 causes the internal water pressure to act downward on the main valve 32 as a pressing force in the valve closing direction.
The main valve 32 is provided with a through introduction small hole (not shown) that allows the primary side water passage 14 and the back pressure chamber 40 to communicate with each other, and the water in the primary side water passage 14 is back pressured through the introduction small hole. By flowing into the chamber 40, the pressure in the back pressure chamber 40 increases.

The main valve 32 is also formed with a through-hole penetrating in the vertical direction at the center thereof, and a pilot valve 42 described later can be inserted therein.
A minute annular pilot water channel 44 is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the through hole and a drive shaft 47 described later, and water in the back pressure chamber 40 passes through the pilot water channel 44 as a water drainage channel and the secondary side water channel 16. It is possible to leak to

A pilot valve seat 48 having an O-ring 46 as a seal material is provided around the through hole of the main valve 32.
Reference numeral 47 denotes a valve portion, more specifically, a drive shaft for driving the pilot valve 42. The pilot valve 42 is integrally formed on the lower end side of the drive shaft 47 and on the upper side of the small diameter portion 49.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the pilot valve 42 is fitted to the O-ring 46 of the pilot valve seat 48 and the pilot water channel 44 is closed, that is, the valve is closed. At this time, the back pressure chamber 40 and the secondary side water channel 16 are separated from each other. It is in a blocked state.
Accordingly, the main valve 32 is also seated on the main valve seat 34 and is in a closed state.

If the pilot valve 42 moves backward from this state and a gap is formed between the pilot valve 42 and the pilot valve seat 48, specifically, the O-ring 46 (that is, when the pilot valve 42 is opened), The water in the pressure chamber 40 flows out to the secondary water channel 16 through the pilot water channel 44, and the pressure in the back pressure chamber 40 decreases.
Then, the pressure in the primary water channel 14 overcomes the pressure in the back pressure chamber 40, and the main valve 32 is pushed upward by the pressure. Here, the main valve 32 is opened.

  When the main valve 32 is opened, that is, when the main valve 32 is moved backward in the figure, the clearance between the pilot valve 42 and the O-ring 46, that is, the opening of the pilot water channel 44 becomes small. The flow rate of the water flowing out through the chamber decreases, the pressure in the back pressure chamber 40 gradually increases, and the main valve 32 moves backward at a position where the pressure in the back pressure chamber 40 and the pressure in the primary water channel 14 are balanced. Stop.

Thereafter, the main valve 32 moves in the same direction as the pilot valve 42 following the backward movement of the pilot valve 42 so as to balance the pressure of the back pressure chamber 40 and the pressure of the primary side water passage 14, and Increase the opening.
Conversely, when the pilot valve 42 moves forward in the figure downward, the main valve 32 follows this and moves forward downward in the figure, and the flow rate of the water flowing through the main water channel with the opening of the main water channel being small is reduced. Decrease.

A male screw member 50 that is a separate member is coupled to the upper end of the drive shaft 47 via a ball joint so as to be tiltable with respect to the drive shaft 47.
The male screw member 50 has a flat shape in which the planar shape is long in the left-right direction in the drawing, and the front surface and the rear surface in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface are flat engagement surfaces.
The front and rear engagement surfaces are sandwiched forward and backward by a pair of clamping pieces 54 of the locking member 52, and the male screw member 50 is locked.
The male screw member 50 is provided with male screw portions on the left and right peripheral surfaces in the figure, and this male screw portion is screwed into the female screw portion on the inner surface of a cylindrical female screw member 56 arranged on the outer side.

A push button 58 disposed on the outer side of the female screw member 56 is assembled in an integrally rotated state, and a sleeve 60 disposed on the outer side of the push button 58 is also assembled in an integrally rotated state. Yes.
On the other hand, a rotor 62 is disposed below the push button 58, and this rotor 62 is mounted on the upper surface of the outward flange portion 64 of the female screw member 56 so as to be relatively rotatable.

  An upper end of a spring (here, a coil spring) 66 is in contact with the lower surface of the flange portion 64 of the female screw member 56, and the female screw member 56, the rotor 62, the push button 58, and the female screw member 56 are contacted by the spring 66. A drive shaft 47 integrally provided with a male screw member 50 and a pilot valve 42 which are screw-coupled is biased upward in the drawing.

  In this embodiment, when the sleeve 60 rotates, the rotational movement is transmitted from the push button 58 to the cylindrical female screw member 56, the female screw member 56 rotates, and the female screw member 56 rotates. A drive shaft 47 integrally provided with the pilot valve 42 moves forward and backward in the vertical direction in the figure by screw feed through the male screw member 50.

That is, the pilot valve 42 is moved forward and backward, and the main valve 32 is moved forward and backward along with this, whereby the valve opening of the main valve 32 is changed and the flow rate of water in the main water channel is changed.
That is, in this embodiment, the flow rate is adjusted by rotating the sleeve 60.

  On the other hand, each time the push button 58 is pushed downward, the rotor 62 rotates, and the protrusion projecting radially outward engages with the cam-shaped engagement tooth formed on the inner surface of the sleeve 60, and the vertical position. The position of the pilot valve 42 is changed to the push-in position and the raised position, more specifically, the valve-closing position and the valve-opening position, and the position is held at each position. .

  The rotor 62, the sleeve 60, the spring 66 and the like constitute a thrust lock mechanism, and the pilot valve 42, that is, the main valve 32 is closed and opened each time the push button 58 is pushed by the thrust lock mechanism. The positions are alternately changed and are held at the respective positions.

In this embodiment, the drive shaft 86, the male screw member 50, the female screw member 56, the push button 58, the sleeve 60, the spring 66, and the like constitute a drive portion 86 that drives the valve portion.
Here, the drive part 86 is assembled | attached to the valve cartridge 80, and they comprise one unit, and the valve cartridge 80 and the drive part 86 are integrated in the main body 12 as a unit.
The structures of these valve portions and their drive portions are basically known ones similar to those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-46770, and therefore further detailed description is omitted here.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 68 denotes an operating device, which includes a push-operated spout water operating portion 70 and a ring-shaped rotationally-operated flow control handle (flow rate adjusting handle) 78 surrounding the operation device.
The flow control handle 78 is coupled to the sleeve 60 in an integrally rotated state.
Further, the spout water operation unit 70 is provided with a pressing unit 72 that presses the push button 58 downward in a shape that falls downward at the center.
Further, the outer peripheral portion is provided with a retaining portion 74 that protrudes annularly outward in the radial direction, and this retaining portion 74 comes into contact with the inward flange portion 76 at the upper end portion of the flow control handle 78, The water discharge operation unit 70 is prevented from coming off.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the internal thread portion 31 is formed on the inner surface of the upper end portion of the cylindrical peripheral wall portion 18 in the body body 12, specifically, the lower inner surface following the opening 88, A functional portion fixing nut 35 is screwed into the cartridge case 30 to press and fix the cartridge case 30 downward in the drawing.

  Further, on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18, a male screw portion 23 is formed at a position different from the inner screw portion 31 in the axial direction, specifically, at a position lower than the female screw portion 31 and not overlapping with the female screw portion 31 in the vertical direction. The main body fixing nut 26 is screwed there, and the main body fixing nut 26 is pressed against the upper surface of the counter 20 via the washer 90.

In the present embodiment, both the main body 12 and the main body fixing nut 26 are made of resin.
Specifically, the main body 12 is formed of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) resin containing glass fiber as a reinforcing material, and the main body fixing nut 26 is a POM (polyoxymethylene (polyacetal)) resin containing glass fiber as a reinforcing material. Are formed respectively.
The functional unit fixing nut 35 is made of metal (brass).

  In this embodiment, when the functional portion fixing nut 35 is screwed downward and the cartridge case 30 is pressed downward and fixed to the main body 12, the upward reaction force against the functional portion fixing nut 35 causes the functional portion fixing nut 35 to pass through the functional portion fixing nut 35. A force is applied to the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 18 in the main body 12 so as to push it outward, that is, to expand and deform the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 18.

The main body 12 also has a force that pushes the peripheral wall 18 directly outward in the radial direction through the cartridge case 30 by the action of the internal water supply pressure, and a force that pushes the functional portion fixing nut 35 upward, that is, an opening of the peripheral wall 18. The force of the direction which expands the edge part by the side of 88 to outward via the function part fixing nut 35 acts.
With these forces, the peripheral wall portion 18 tends to expand and deform outward, particularly at the upper end side on the opening 88 side.

In this embodiment, in order to prevent the deformation, a ring-shaped stopper 92 that is located on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion 18 and is in radial contact with the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 to restrict the expansion deformation is provided on the main body fixing nut 26. Are integrally formed.
Here, the ring-shaped stopper 92 is formed on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 at a smaller distance than the radial gap (clearance) between the external thread portion 23 on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 and the internal thread portion 24 on the inner surface of the main body fixing nut 26. It is provided in the state located close to.

Specifically, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 2B, the gap S between the stopper 92 and the outer surface of the peripheral wall 18 is such that the internal thread portion 24 on the inner surface of the main body fixing nut 26 and the outer surface of the peripheral wall 18. The stopper 92 is positioned close to the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 so as to be smaller than a radial gap (clearance) K between the external screw portion 23 and the external thread portion 23.
In this embodiment, the gap S is in the range of 0.05 to 0.1 mm in one-side dimension.
On the other hand, the gap K is 0.25 to 0.5 mm.

  The stopper 92 integrally formed with the main body fixing nut 26 is provided at one position of the main body fixing nut 26 at a position where the main body fixing nut 26 is screwed and the inner thread portion 31 on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 is radially opposed. It is provided by projecting the portion (upper end portion in the figure) annularly inward in the radial direction.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the peripheral wall portion 18 of the main body 12 is to be expanded outward in the radial direction, the stopper 92 integrally formed with the main body fixing nut 26 quickly hits the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18. It acts to prevent the peripheral wall portion 18 from expanding and deforming.
In this embodiment, the body fixing nut 26 is stronger than the peripheral wall 18 and has a large resistance to deformation.

  According to the present embodiment as described above, when the peripheral wall portion 18 of the main body 12 spreads outward and is deformed, the ring-shaped stopper 92 located on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion 18 and the peripheral wall portion outer surface. Due to the stopper action due to the contact, it is possible to effectively prevent the peripheral wall portion 18 from spreading and deforming.

  Therefore, even when the main body 12 is made of resin, by preventing the peripheral deformation of the peripheral wall 18 of the main body 12, there is no risk of damage to the main body 12 or water leakage due to the deformation of the main body 12. It can prevent effectively that the deformation | transformation of the main body 12 affects the internal faucet function part, and the performance of a faucet deteriorates.

When the ring-shaped stopper 92 is not provided, when the peripheral wall portion 18 of the main body 12 is expanded and deformed, the radial gap between the female screw portion 24 of the main body fixing nut 26 and the male screw portion 23 on the outer surface of the main body body 12 is somewhere. K (clearance) disappears, and the main body fixing nut 26 and the main body body 12 are in a state where they hit the entire thread portion in the radial direction.
At that stage, the deformation of the main body 12 is temporarily restricted, but the radial gap K between the female screw portion 24 of the main body fixing nut 26 and the male screw portion 23 of the main body body 12 is large in dimension, and therefore the main body body. 12 deformation cannot be suppressed small.

Further, in this case, a force from the main body 12 is applied to the female threaded portion 24 of the main body fixing nut 26 to damage the threaded portion, or stress concentration on the valley portion of the female threaded portion 24 to the main body fixing nut 26 from there. There is a risk that the main body fixing nut 26 itself is broken due to cracks.
However, in the present embodiment, before the male threaded portion 23 of the main body body 12 hits the female threaded portion 24 of the main body fixing nut 26, the ring-shaped stopper 92 hits the main body body 12 to restrict deformation.

  In the present embodiment, since the main body fixing nut 26 is made of resin and the ring-shaped stopper 92 is integrally formed thereon, the ring-shaped stopper 92 is formed separately from the main body fixing nut 26. The number of required parts and assembly man-hours can be reduced.

In addition, by forming the ring-shaped stopper 92 integrally with the main body fixing nut 26, the radial position of the stopper 92 can be surely positioned at the target position when the main body fixing nut 26 is screwed. The stopper 92 is positioned close to the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 18 of the main body 12 at a smaller distance than the radial gap K between the female screw portion 24 of the fixing nut 26 and the male screw portion 23 of the main body 12. The position of the stopper 92 can be accurately positioned.
In addition, the stopper 92 can be positioned at an appropriate position as it is simply by screwing the main body fixing nut 26.

In this embodiment, the external thread part 23 and the internal thread part 31 of the inner surface of the main body 12 are provided at different positions in the axial direction and not overlapping each other.
The threaded portion is a part where stress is easily concentrated, and when such a threaded portion is provided on both the inner surface and the outer surface of the main body 12 at the same position in the axial direction, the female threaded portion 31 and the male threaded portion 23 The body body 12 is weakened in strength at the place where is provided.

Further, if the internal thread portion 31 on the inner surface and the external thread portion 23 on the outer surface are provided at the same position in the axial direction, the thickness of the main body 12 is reduced at that portion, and the strength is also reduced.
However, in this embodiment, since the female screw portion 31 and the male screw portion 23 are provided at different positions in the axial direction and at positions that do not overlap with each other, such inconvenience can be avoided well.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, this is merely an example, and the present invention can be applied to various forms of faucets other than the above examples. The present invention can be configured in various forms without departing from the scope.
