Description

  The present invention relates to a foot-operated disinfectant supply apparatus that is suitably installed at an entrance or entrance of an office or public facility for influenza countermeasures or the like.

  In recent years, disinfectant bottles are often installed at entrances and entrances of offices and public facilities and other various places for influenza countermeasures. Conventionally, however, there are many cases in which a disinfectant bottle is simply placed on a desk or the like, and there are cases where the disinfection effect is questionable. That is, in such a situation, an unspecified number of people press the operation head of the disinfectant bottle with the hands before disinfection, so some people hesitate to touch the operation head, and some measures are taken. It was desired.

  For this reason, a method of injecting a disinfectant by depressing a foot pedal is developed (for example, see Patent Document 1). However, the one described in Patent Document 1 uses a special disinfectant bottle, and the disinfectant bottle is inserted and held in a bottle box corresponding to the shape of the bottle. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that only a specific disinfectant bottle can be used.

  In order to eliminate such inconvenience, it can be considered that the disinfectant bottle is replaced with a box and a plurality of types of disinfectant bottles are held by a tray on which the bottle can be placed. However, if it does in this way, it will be easy to produce the problem that a disinfection liquid bottle may fall by the operation operation of an operation head, or it may cause position shift.

  With such a configuration, the operation head B21 of the disinfecting liquid bottle B is pressed by simply standing in front of the disinfecting liquid bottle B and depressing the foot pedal 7, and the disinfecting liquid is supplied from the nozzle B23. That is, when the foot pedal 7 is depressed, the front end portion 823 side of the lower link element 82 is pushed down, and the rear end portion 825 side is raised. When the rear end portion 825 side of the lower link element 82 rises, the raising operation is transmitted to the rear end portion 816 side of the rotating arm 81 via the intermediate link element 83, and the rear end portion 816 side of the rotating arm 81 is compressed. The coil spring 124 rises against the urging force of the coil spring 124, and the front end 815 side of the rotating arm 81 is lowered. As a result, the pressing body 6 is lowered and the operation head B21 of the disinfecting liquid bottle B is pressed. Therefore, the user can sanitize the hand hygienically without touching the operation head B21 of the disinfectant bottle B directly.

  In this embodiment, since the compression coil spring 124 is interposed between the rear end portion 816 of the rotating arm 81 and the top cover 123 of the support column 12, the repulsive force is generated when the stepping operation is performed more than necessary. growing. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the disinfectant from being discharged too much.

  If the disinfecting liquid is excessively discharged, the height position of the shelf board 3 is finely adjusted so that the clearance between the operation head B21 of the disinfecting liquid bottle B and the top wall 61 of the pressing body 6 in the initial stage is made appropriate. However, the adjustment is not always easy for general users.

  Therefore, you may further provide the stroke adjustment means for adjusting the stroke of the said press body 6. FIG. That is, FIG. 8 shows a preferred example of the stroke adjusting means. In this embodiment, the pivot range of the pivot arm 81 is regulated to be changeable. More specifically, the front end of the top cover 123 of the column 12 extends forward from the front surface 121 of the column 12. The upward movement range of the rotary arm 81 is regulated by the adjusting bolt 9 screwed out and screwed to the extended end portion 123a. More specifically, the rotation upper limit position of the rotation arm 81 can be appropriately adjusted by rotating the head 91 of the adjustment bolt 9 and screwing the adjustment bolt 9 up and down. Therefore, an appropriate discharge amount of the disinfectant can be determined according to the type of the set disinfectant bottle B.

The pressing body 6 includes a top wall 61 that presses the top B22 of the operation head B21, and front and rear of the operation head B21. Nozzles extending from the operation head B21 to the front regulating wall 62 of these regulating walls 62, 63, 64, 69 are provided. B 3 is provided, various types of disinfectant bottles B having different shapes and sizes can be placed on the tray 2, and only a specific disinfectant bottle B is used. The inconvenience of being unable to do so can be eliminated. Furthermore, even if the disinfectant bottle B is merely placed on the tray 2, the pressing body 6 includes restriction walls 62, 63, 64, and 69 for restricting the movement of the operation head B21 in all directions of front, rear, left and right. Therefore, it is possible to suitably suppress or prevent the sanitizing liquid bottle B from toppling over. Further, since the openings 66, 67, 68 are provided in the three restriction walls 62, 63, 64 other than the rear restriction wall 69, the operation head B21 is surrounded by the restriction walls 62, 63, 64, 69. Even in this case, the nozzle B23 can be exposed to the outside.

  Further, since a plurality of openings 66, 67, 68 are provided, the nozzle B23 can be set on the tray 2 by extending not only in the front direction but also in the horizontal direction. Since the stepping-type disinfectant supply device according to the present embodiment discharges the disinfectant by a stepping operation, it is difficult to understand the amount of discharge. Therefore, depending on the stepping amount of the foot pedal 7, the disinfectant may jump out to the user side and cannot be received by the tray 2 or the hand, and the clothes and the floor surface may be soiled. However, it is possible to install the disinfectant bottle B so that the nozzle B23 faces in the left-right direction, and if the extension 22 of the tray 2 is also set to extend in the direction of the nozzle B23, the momentum It is possible to solve the problem that at least the user's clothes are soiled by the disinfecting liquid that is often ejected.

  Moreover, since the installation position of the tray 2 can be changed in the height direction, the height of the tray 2 can be adjusted according to the height dimension of the disinfecting liquid bottle B, and various disinfecting liquid bottles can be used. Can be installed. In addition, by adjusting the installation position of the tray 2 in the height direction in this way, it is also possible to adjust the clearance between the top wall 61 and the operation head B21. Therefore, even with such a method, the stroke of the pressing body 6 can be adjusted, and the injection amount of the disinfecting liquid can be adjusted.

  Further, if the stroke of the pressing body 6 is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting bolt 9 provided on the extended end portion 123a of the top cover 123, it can be easily disinfected at a position that is relatively easy for the user to operate. The injection amount of the liquid can be adjusted.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  For example, as a modification of the present invention, the pressing body 6 may not have the restriction walls 62, 63, 64, 69 in any one of the front, rear, left and right directions. In addition, the openings 66, 67, 68 provided in the respective regulation walls 62, 63, 64 may be open at the lower ends or may be in the form of long holes that are not open.

  Moreover, this stepping type disinfectant supply device is not limited to one that supplies disinfectant in a bottle installed on a tray. For example, the present invention can be applied to a case where a liquid in a bottle such as a shampoo, a rinse, a body soap, etc., which is provided in a public bath and used by an unspecified number of people, is supplied. Further, the present invention is not limited to such a case, and can be applied to appropriate situations for supplying various liquids.
