About.

従来から、湯水混合水栓に組み込まれ、給湯源から供給される湯と給水源から供給される水とを混合した湯水を吐止水する湯水混合バルブ装置として、例えば、特許文献1に記載されているように、いわゆる、シングルレバー式の湯水混合水栓の内部に組み込まれ、操作レバーが水栓の正面位置にある状態で水のみを吐水することができるようになっているものが知られている。
このような湯水混合バルブ装置では、給湯源から供給された湯が通過する一次側通湯用開口部と、給水源から供給された水が通過する一次側通水用開口部と、一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部に隣接するように形成され、これら一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部のそれぞれを通過した湯水を通過させる二次側開口部と、を備えた固定弁体を有する。また、固定弁体の上方には、固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部を開閉する可動弁体が摺動可能に設けられている。さらに、この可動弁体は、開弁時に固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び/又は一次側通水用開口部と二次側開口部とを連通させる連通開口部を備えており、可動弁体が開弁している状態では、固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部のそれぞれを通過した湯水が、可動弁体の連通開口部を経て固定弁体の二次側開口部に流入し、湯水混合水栓の吐水口へ流れるようになっている。さらに、これらの固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部、一次側通水用開口部及び二次側開口部と可動弁体の連通開口部のそれぞれは、互いに独立して閉曲した開口をそれぞれ形成している。
Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a hot and cold water mixing valve device that is incorporated in a hot and cold water mixing faucet and stops hot water mixed with hot water supplied from a hot water supply source and water supplied from the water supply source. It is known that it is built into the so-called single lever type hot and cold water mixing faucet, and can only discharge water with the operation lever in the front position of the faucet. ing.

しかしながら、上述した従来の湯水混合バルブ装置においては、装置の小型化の要請に応じて、装置内部のレイアウト上の制約により固定弁体や可動弁体の大きさ(例えば、横断面寸法や厚み)を小さく設計する必要があり、固定弁体や可動弁体のそれぞれの開口部の開口面積についても相対的に小さく設計することも必要となる。
また、例えば、操作レバーを使用頻度が高い湯水混合水栓の正面側のほぼ中央の位置に設定した状態で水のみを吐水することができるようにするためには、湯水混合水栓の正面位置で固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部を閉鎖した状態を維持し、一次側通水用開口部のみを開放させた状態にする必要がある。その対策として、固定弁体や可動弁体のそれぞれの開口部の開口面積を小さく設計する等の工夫が必要となるが、これらの開口面積を同一の給水圧の条件下で小さく設計する程、湯水が開口部を通過する際の圧力損失が大きくなるため、吐水可能な流量が減少し、十分な湯水の流量を確保し難くなるという問題もある。
したがって、シングルレバー式の湯水混合水栓の内部に組み込まれる湯水混合バルブ装置においては、いかに装置自体の大きさをコンパクトに設計して十分な湯水の流量を確保しつつ、例えば、操作レバーを使用頻度が高い湯水混合水栓の正面側の中央の位置に設定した場合においても、いかに水の吐水量を多くするのかが従来から要請されている課題となっている。
However, in the above-described conventional hot and cold water mixing valve device, the size of the fixed valve body and the movable valve body (for example, cross-sectional dimensions and thickness) due to restrictions on the layout inside the device in response to a request for downsizing of the device. Must be designed to be small, and the opening areas of the openings of the fixed valve body and the movable valve body must also be designed to be relatively small.
Also, for example, in order to allow only water to be discharged with the operation lever set at a substantially central position on the front side of the frequently used hot and cold water mixing faucet, the front position of the hot and cold water mixing faucet Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a state where the primary side hot water opening is closed and to open only the primary side water opening. As a countermeasure, it is necessary to devise such as designing the opening area of each opening of the fixed valve body and the movable valve body to be small, but as these opening areas are designed to be small under the same water supply pressure conditions, Since the pressure loss when hot water passes through the opening increases, the flow rate at which water can be discharged decreases, and it is difficult to ensure a sufficient flow rate of hot water.
Therefore, in the hot water / water mixing valve device incorporated in the single lever type hot water / water mixing faucet, the size of the device itself is designed to be compact to ensure a sufficient flow rate of hot water, for example, using an operating lever. Even when the frequency is set at the center position on the front side of the hot and cold water mixing faucet, how to increase the amount of water discharged has been a problem that has been conventionally requested.

そこで、本発明は、上述した従来技術の問題を解決するためになされたものであり、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができ、装置全体を小型化することができる湯水混合バルブ装置を提供することを目的としている。   Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and can ensure a larger flow rate of hot water with the same water supply pressure, and can reduce the size of the entire apparatus. An object of the present invention is to provide a hot and cold mixing valve device.

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明は、湯水混合水栓に組み込まれ、給湯源から供給される湯と給水源から供給される水とを混合した湯水を吐止水する湯水混合バルブ装置であって、湯水混合水栓の吐水口の上流側に設けられたケーシングと、このケーシング内に固定された固定弁体であって、給湯源から供給された湯が通過する一次側通湯用開口部と、給水源から供給された水が通過する一次側通水用開口部と、上記一次側通湯用開口部及び上記一次側通水用開口部に隣接するように形成されて上記一次側通湯用開口部及び上記一次側通水用開口部を通過した湯水を通過させる二次側開口部と、を備えた上記固定弁体と、上記ケーシング内に配置されて上記固定弁体に対して摺動することにより上記固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部を開閉する可動弁体であって、開弁時に上記固定弁体の上記一次側通湯用開口部及び/又は上記一次側通水用開口部と上記二次側開口部とを連通させると共に、湯と水を混合させる湯水混合室を形成する連通開口部を備えた上記可動弁体と、上記可動弁体の開閉操作を行うと共に、上記湯水混合室で混合される湯と水の割合を調整して上記湯水混合水栓の吐水口から吐水される湯水の温度調節を行う操作部と、を有し、上記固定弁体の二次側開口部は、上記固定弁体の平面視において外側方向の一部が開放されるように上記固定弁体の外周の一部を切り欠いた形状に形成されていることを特徴としている。
このように構成された本発明においては、操作部により可動弁体を開弁させた状態では、固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部のそれぞれを通過した湯水は、可動弁体の連通開口部を経て固定弁体の二次側開口部に流入し、湯水混合水栓の吐水口へ流れる。このとき、固定弁体の二次側開口部が、固定弁体の平面視において外側方向の一部が開放されるように固定弁体の外周の一部を切り欠いた形状に形成されていることにより、固定弁体の二次側開口部の開口断面積(流路断面積)をより大きく設定することができるため、固定弁体の二次側開口部を湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができる。したがって、固定弁体の二次側開口部が固定弁体の外周の一部を切り欠いた形状とは異なる閉曲した開口を形成している場合に比べて、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができ、装置全体を小型化することができる。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a hot and cold water mixing valve device that is incorporated in a hot and cold water mixing faucet and discharges hot water mixed with hot water supplied from a hot water supply source and water supplied from the water supply source. A casing provided on the upstream side of the water outlet of the hot water and water mixing faucet, and a fixed valve body fixed in the casing, for passing hot water supplied from a hot water supply source. The primary part is formed adjacent to the opening, the primary side water passage opening through which the water supplied from the water supply source passes, the primary side hot water passage opening, and the primary side water passage opening. The fixed valve body provided with a side hot water opening and a secondary side opening through which the hot water having passed through the primary side water flow opening is passed, and the fixed valve body disposed in the casing. By sliding against the opening for primary side hot water and the fixed valve body A movable valve body that opens and closes a side water passage opening, and when the valve is opened, the primary side water passage opening of the fixed valve body and / or the primary side water passage opening and the secondary side opening. And the movable valve body having a communication opening that forms a hot and cold mixing chamber for mixing hot water and water, and the hot valve mixed in the hot and cold mixing chamber while opening and closing the movable valve body. And an operation part for adjusting the temperature of the hot water discharged from the outlet of the hot and cold water mixing faucet by adjusting the ratio of water, and the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body has the fixed valve body It is characterized by being formed in a shape in which a part of the outer periphery of the fixed valve body is cut out so that a part in the outer direction is opened in a plan view.
In the present invention configured as described above, in the state where the movable valve body is opened by the operation section, the hot water that has passed through each of the primary side water passage opening and the primary side water passage opening in the fixed valve body. Flows into the secondary side opening of the stationary valve body through the communication opening of the movable valve body, and flows to the spout of the hot and cold water mixing faucet. At this time, the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body is formed in a shape in which a part of the outer periphery of the fixed valve body is cut out so that a part in the outer direction is opened in a plan view of the fixed valve body. As a result, the opening cross-sectional area (channel cross-sectional area) of the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body can be set larger, so that the pressure loss when hot water passes through the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body Can be reduced. Therefore, compared with the case where the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body forms a closed opening that is different from the shape in which a part of the outer periphery of the fixed valve body is cut out, more at the same water supply pressure. The flow rate of hot water can be ensured, and the entire apparatus can be downsized.

本発明において、好ましくは、更に、上記可動弁体の連通開口部に沿って取り付けられた網部材を有する。
このように構成された本発明においては、操作部により可動弁体を開弁させた状態では、固定弁体の一次側通湯用開口部及び一次側通水用開口部のそれぞれを通過した湯水は、可動弁体の連通開口部に沿って取り付けられた網部材を通過し、可動弁体の連通開口部から固定弁体の二次側開口部に流入するが、この湯水が網部材を通過する際に、湯水が整流化される。したがって、固定弁体の二次側開口部を湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができるため、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができ、装置全体を小型化することができる。また、網部材が取り付けられていない場合に比べて、通水中に生ずるキャビテーションを抑制することができ、このようなキャビテーションによって生ずる騒音を抑制することができる。
In this invention, Preferably, it has further the net | network member attached along the communicating opening part of the said movable valve body.
In the present invention configured as described above, in the state where the movable valve body is opened by the operation section, the hot water that has passed through each of the primary side water passage opening and the primary side water passage opening in the fixed valve body. Passes through the mesh member attached along the communication opening of the movable valve body and flows from the communication opening of the movable valve body into the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body, but this hot water passes through the mesh member. In doing so, the hot and cold water is rectified. Therefore, since the pressure loss when hot water passes through the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body can be reduced, a larger flow rate of hot water can be ensured with the same feed water pressure, and the entire apparatus can be made compact. Can be Moreover, compared with the case where the mesh member is not attached, the cavitation which arises during water flow can be suppressed, and the noise which arises by such a cavitation can be suppressed.

つぎに、図3〜図30により、本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置の詳細について説明する。
まず、図4は、本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置を示す分解斜視図である。
図4に示すように、本実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置1は、下方から上方に向って、下側ケーシング部材14、固定弁体12、可動弁体10、網部材15、可動弁体ガイド部材16、操作レバー下側保持部材18、シール部材20、操作レバー部材22、上側ケーシング部材24及び操作レバー上側接続部材26を備えている。
Next, the details of the hot and cold water mixing valve device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a hot and cold water mixing valve device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 4, the hot and cold water mixing valve device 1 according to the present embodiment has a lower casing member 14, a fixed valve body 12, a movable valve body 10, a net member 15, and a movable valve body guide member from the bottom to the top. 16, an operation lever lower holding member 18, a seal member 20, an operation lever member 22, an upper casing member 24, and an operation lever upper connection member 26 are provided.

つぎに、図5は、本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置の下側ケーシング部材と固定弁体を示す平面図である。
図3〜図5に示すように、下側ケーシング部材14は、湯水混合水栓装置2の内部に上下方向に延びるように形成されている通湯路2a及び通水路2bの上端(下流側端部)に接続され、下側ケーシング部材14の内部には、固定弁体12が固定されている。
Next, FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a lower casing member and a fixed valve body of a hot and cold water mixing valve device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the lower casing member 14 includes upper ends (downstream ends) of the hot water passage 2 a and the water passage 2 b that are formed in the hot water / mixing faucet device 2 so as to extend in the vertical direction. The fixed valve body 12 is fixed inside the lower casing member 14.

また、図4及び図5に示すように、固定弁体12の後側には、可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10a内を通過した湯及び/又は水が通過する二次側開口部12cが一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bに隣接するように形成されている。この二次側開口部12cの形状は、その全周が閉曲した孔形状ではなく、固定弁体12の平面視において固定弁体12の後方側の一部が開放されるように固定弁体12の後方側の外周の一部を内方に向って切り欠いた形状に形成されている。これにより、全周が閉曲した開口部よりも固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cの開口断面積(流路断面積)を大きく設定することができるようになっており、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができるようになっている。したがって、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cは、全周が閉曲した開口に比べて、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができると共に、湯水混合バルブ装置1の全体を小型化することができるようにもなっている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, on the rear side of the fixed valve body 12, a secondary side opening 12 c through which hot water and / or water that has passed through the hot water communication opening 10 a of the movable valve body 10 passes. Is formed so as to be adjacent to the primary side hot water opening 12a and the primary side water flow opening 12b. The shape of the secondary side opening 12c is not a hole shape whose entire circumference is closed, but a fixed valve body so that a part of the rear side of the fixed valve body 12 is opened in a plan view of the fixed valve body 12. 12 is formed in a shape in which a part of the outer periphery on the rear side is notched inward. Thereby, the opening cross-sectional area (flow-path cross-sectional area) of the secondary side opening part 12c of the fixed valve body 12 can be set larger than the opening part where the perimeter closed, and the fixed valve body The pressure loss when hot water passes through the 12 secondary side opening 12c can be reduced. Therefore, the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 can secure a larger flow rate of hot water with the same water supply pressure than the opening whose entire circumference is closed, and the hot water mixing valve device 1 The whole can be downsized.

さらに、下側ケーシング部材14内の固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cの下方且つ下側ケーシング部材14の後端部14aに隣接した部分には、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cと連通する下側ケーシング部材14内の湯水混合路14bが形成されている。   Further, the secondary side opening of the fixed valve body 12 is located below the secondary side opening 12 c of the fixed valve body 12 in the lower casing member 14 and adjacent to the rear end portion 14 a of the lower casing member 14. A hot and cold mixing path 14b in the lower casing member 14 communicating with 12c is formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, each of the primary side hot water opening 12 a and the primary water flow opening 12 b formed in the fixed valve body 12 is provided with a hot water passage in the hot and cold water mixing device 2. 2a and the water passage 2b are connected to each other.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, from the outermost position (the leftmost position of the primary side hot water opening 12a in FIG. 5) of the fixed valve body 12 to the primary side hot water opening 12a, the fixed valve body 12 is the maximum distance L1 to the position where the vertical line extends down to the central axis A2 extending in the front-rear direction, which is the outermost position of the primary side water passage opening 12b (the rightmost side of the water passage 12a in FIG. 5). Of the fixed valve body 12 to the center axis A2 of the fixed valve body 12 so as to be smaller than the maximum distance L2 to the position where the vertical line is lowered. The portions 12b are formed in different shapes and are asymmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis A2 of the fixed valve body 12.

また、図5に示すように、下側ケーシング部材14の内周側の後端部14aに隣接した部分であり且つ固定弁体12よりも上方部分には、固定弁体12に対する可動弁体10の摺動及び回転をガイドするためのガイド手段であるガイド用突起28が内方に突出するように形成されている。このガイド用突起28の中心軸線28aは、固定弁体12の前後方向に延びる中心軸線A2の方向に対して水平面内において所定角度αだけ傾いた方向に設定されている。
さらに、この中心軸線A2は、下側ケーシング部材14の中心Oと固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bの湯側端部12dの近傍を通過している。さらに、下側ケーシング部材14の中心Oの上方には、詳細は後述する可動弁体ガイド部材16の取付穴16aに取り付けられている止水状態における操作レバー部材22の接続部22aの中心点が位置している。すなわち、中心軸線A2は、操作レバー部材22の接続部22aの中心点を中心Oに投影させた点と固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bの湯側端部12dの近傍とを通過している。
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the movable valve body 10 with respect to the fixed valve body 12 is a portion adjacent to the rear end portion 14 a on the inner peripheral side of the lower casing member 14 and above the fixed valve body 12. Guide protrusions 28 which are guide means for guiding the sliding and rotation of the protrusions are formed so as to protrude inward. The central axis 28a of the guide projection 28 is set in a direction inclined by a predetermined angle α in the horizontal plane with respect to the direction of the central axis A2 extending in the front-rear direction of the fixed valve body 12.
Further, the center axis A2 passes through the center O of the lower casing member 14 and the vicinity of the hot water side end 12d of the primary water passage opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12. Further, above the center O of the lower casing member 14, the center point of the connection portion 22 a of the operation lever member 22 in the water stop state attached to an attachment hole 16 a of the movable valve element guide member 16, which will be described in detail later. positioned. That is, the center axis A2 is a point where the center point of the connection portion 22a of the operation lever member 22 is projected on the center O and the vicinity of the hot water side end portion 12d of the primary water passage opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12. Has passed.

つぎに、図6は、本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置の可動弁体と可動弁体ガイド部材を示す平面図である。
図3、図4及び図6に示すように、固定弁体12上には、可動弁体10が摺動可能且つ回転可能に設けられている。
また、可動弁体10上には、固定弁体12に対する可動弁体10の摺動及び回転をガイドするための可動弁体ガイド部材16が固定されている。この可動弁体ガイド部材16には、可動弁体10と共に下側ケーシング部材14内に取り付けられた状態で、下側ケーシング部材14のガイド用突起28が挿入されて嵌合可能なガイド溝30が形成されている。
Next, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the movable valve body and the movable valve body guide member of the hot and cold water mixing valve device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, a movable valve body 10 is slidably and rotatably provided on the fixed valve body 12.
A movable valve body guide member 16 for guiding the sliding and rotation of the movable valve body 10 with respect to the fixed valve body 12 is fixed on the movable valve body 10. The movable valve body guide member 16 has a guide groove 30 into which the guide protrusion 28 of the lower casing member 14 can be inserted and fitted with the movable valve body 10 together with the movable valve body 10 in the lower casing member 14. Is formed.

さらに、図3、図4及び図6に示すように、可動弁体10と可動弁体ガイド部材16との間には、網部材15が設けられており、この網部材15は、可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aの上縁部に沿って取り付けられている。可動弁体10が開弁した状態では、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bのそれぞれを通過した湯水は、網部材15の表面上に沿って可動弁体10の連通開口部10a内を通過することにより整流化されるようになっており、この可動弁体10の連通開口部10a内の整流化された湯水が固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cに流入することができるようになっている。したがって、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができるため、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができるようになっており、網部材15が可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aの上縁部に沿って取り付けられていない場合に比べて、網部材15の表面を通過する湯水に生ずるキャビテーションを抑制し、このようなキャビテーションによって生ずる騒音を抑制することができるようになっている。
なお、本実施形態では、一例として、可動弁体10と可動弁体ガイド部材16は、互いに別部材となっているが、可動弁体10と可動弁体ガイド部材16を互いに一体的に形成し、一部材とし、可動弁体10と可動弁体ガイド部材16との間に網部材15を取り付けてもよい。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6, a mesh member 15 is provided between the movable valve element 10 and the movable valve element guide member 16, and the mesh member 15 is provided with a movable valve element. It is attached along the upper edge part of 10 hot and cold water communication openings 10a. In a state where the movable valve body 10 is opened, the hot water that has passed through the primary side hot water opening 12 a and the primary side water flow opening 12 b of the fixed valve body 12 extends along the surface of the net member 15. Rectification is performed by passing through the communication opening 10 a of the movable valve body 10, and the rectified hot water in the communication opening 10 a of the movable valve body 10 is secondary to the fixed valve body 12. It can flow into the side opening 12c. Therefore, since the pressure loss at the time of hot water passing through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 can be reduced, it becomes possible to secure a larger flow rate of hot water with the same water supply pressure. Compared with the case where the net member 15 is not attached along the upper edge of the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10, the cavitation generated in the hot water passing through the surface of the net member 15 is suppressed. Such noise caused by cavitation can be suppressed.
In this embodiment, as an example, the movable valve body 10 and the movable valve body guide member 16 are separate members. However, the movable valve body 10 and the movable valve body guide member 16 are formed integrally with each other. The mesh member 15 may be attached as a single member between the movable valve element 10 and the movable valve element guide member 16.

つぎに、上述した本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置1の動作(作用)について説明する。
湯水混合水栓装置2を使用する際、図1及び図2に示すように、湯水混合水栓装置2の操作ハンドル4をその中心軸線A1回りに回転操作し、使用頻度が高い湯水混合水栓装置2の正面側のほぼ中央の操作位置P3に設定し、操作ハンドル4を矢印「開」の方向に操作した場合には、図11〜図14に示すように、湯水混合バルブ装置1の操作レバー部材22の操作により、可動弁体10が固定弁体12に対して湯側への回転を伴って摺動し、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12aを閉鎖した状態を維持しながら、固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bのみを開放する。そして、固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bから網部材15及び可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aを通過した水は、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを経て、湯水混合水栓装置2のスパウト6の吐水口6aから吐水される。
Next, the operation (action) of the hot and cold water mixing valve device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be described.
When using the hot-water mixing faucet device 2, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation handle 4 of the hot-water mixing faucet device 2 is rotated around its central axis A1 to frequently use the hot-water mixing faucet. When the operation position P3 is set at the substantially central operation position P3 on the front side of the apparatus 2 and the operation handle 4 is operated in the direction of the arrow "open", the operation of the hot and cold mixing valve apparatus 1 is performed as shown in FIGS. By operating the lever member 22, the movable valve body 10 slides with rotation to the hot water side with respect to the fixed valve body 12, and the state where the primary side hot water opening 12 a is closed is maintained in the fixed valve body 12. However, only the primary water passage opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 is opened. Then, the water that has passed through the mesh member 15 and the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10 from the primary water passage opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 passes through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12, Water is discharged from the spout 6a of the spout 6 of the hot and cold water mixing device 2.

また、操作ハンドル4を水側(図1及び図2に示す矢印Cの方向)に回動操作して操作位置P2に設定し、操作ハンドル4を矢印「開」の方向に操作した場合には、図19〜図22に示すように、湯水混合バルブ装置1の操作レバー部材22の操作により、可動弁体10が固定弁体12に対して水側への回転を伴って摺動し、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12aを閉鎖した状態を維持しながら、固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bのみを開放する。そして、固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bから網部材15及び可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aを通過した水が、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを経て、湯水混合水栓装置2のスパウト6の吐水口6aから吐水される。   Further, when the operation handle 4 is rotated to the water side (in the direction of arrow C shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) and set to the operation position P2, and the operation handle 4 is operated in the direction of the arrow “open”, 19 to 22, as the operation lever member 22 of the hot / cold water mixing valve device 1 is operated, the movable valve body 10 slides relative to the fixed valve body 12 with rotation to the water side, and is fixed. While maintaining the primary side hot water opening 12a of the valve body 12 being closed, only the primary side water opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 is opened. Then, the water that has passed through the mesh member 15 and the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10 from the primary water passage opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 passes through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12, Water is discharged from the spout 6a of the spout 6 of the hot and cold water mixing device 2.

さらに、操作ハンドル4を湯側(図1及び図2に示す矢印Hの方向)に回動操作して操作位置P1に設定し、操作ハンドル4を矢印「開」の方向に操作した場合には、図26〜図30に示すように、湯水混合バルブ装置1の操作レバー部材22の操作により、可動弁体10が固定弁体12に対して湯側への回転を伴って摺動し、固定弁体12の一次側通水用開口部12bを閉鎖した状態を維持しながら、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12aのみを開放する。そして、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12aから網部材15及び可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aを通過した湯が、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを経て、湯水混合水栓装置2のスパウト6の吐水口6aから吐水される。   Further, when the operation handle 4 is rotated to the hot water side (in the direction of the arrow H shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) and set to the operation position P1, and the operation handle 4 is operated in the direction of the arrow “open”, 26 to 30, the movable valve body 10 slides with respect to the fixed valve body 12 with the rotation toward the hot water side by the operation of the operation lever member 22 of the hot and cold water mixing valve device 1, and is fixed. Only the primary side hot water opening 12a of the fixed valve body 12 is opened while maintaining the primary side water opening 12b of the valve body 12 closed. Then, the hot water that has passed through the mesh member 15 and the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10 from the primary side hot water opening 12a of the fixed valve body 12 passes through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12, Water is discharged from the spout 6a of the spout 6 of the hot and cold water mixing device 2.

また、操作ハンドル4を湯側(図1及び図2に示す矢印Hの方向)に回動操作して操作位置P1と操作位置P3との間の湯水混合操作領域R3の操作位置に設定し、操作ハンドル4を矢印「開」の方向に操作した場合には、湯水混合バルブ装置1の操作レバー部材22の操作により、可動弁体10が固定弁体12に対して湯側への回転を伴って摺動し、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bの双方を開放する。そして、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bのそれぞれから流出して網部材15の表面を通過し、可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aで混合された湯水が、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを経て、湯水混合水栓装置2のスパウト6の吐水口6aから吐水される。   Further, the operation handle 4 is turned to the hot water side (in the direction of the arrow H shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) to set the operation position in the hot water mixing operation region R3 between the operation position P1 and the operation position P3. When the operation handle 4 is operated in the direction of the arrow “open”, the operation of the operation lever member 22 of the hot water / mixing valve device 1 causes the movable valve body 10 to rotate to the hot water side with respect to the fixed valve body 12. To open both the primary side hot water opening 12a and the primary side hot water opening 12b. And it flows out from each of the primary side hot water opening 12a and the primary side water flow opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 and passes through the surface of the mesh member 15, and at the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10. The mixed hot and cold water is discharged from the spout 6 a of the spout 6 of the hot and cold water mixing device 2 through the secondary opening 12 c of the fixed valve body 12.

上述した本発明の一実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置1によれば、操作レバー部材22により可動弁体10を開弁させた状態では、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bのそれぞれを通過した湯水は、網部材15を経て可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aを経て固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cに流入し、下側ケーシング部材14の湯水混合路14bを経て湯水混合水栓装置2の吐水口6aへ流れる。このとき、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cが、その全周が閉曲した孔形状ではなく、固定弁体12の平面視において固定弁体12の後方側の一部が開放されるように固定弁体12の後方側の外周の一部を内方に向って切り欠いた形状に形成されていることにより、全周が閉曲した開口部よりも固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cの開口断面積(流路断面積)を大きく設定することができる。したがって、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができるため、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cの全周が閉曲した開口に比べて、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができると共に、湯水混合バルブ装置1の全体を小型化することができる。   According to the hot and cold water mixing valve device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, in the state where the movable valve body 10 is opened by the operation lever member 22, the primary side hot water opening 12a and the primary valve body 12 are opened. The hot water that has passed through each of the side water passage openings 12b flows into the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 via the mesh member 15 and the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10, and then the lower casing. It flows to the water outlet 6a of the hot and cold water mixing device 2 through the hot and cold water mixing path 14b of the member 14. At this time, the secondary side opening portion 12c of the fixed valve body 12 is not a hole shape whose entire circumference is closed, but a part of the rear side of the fixed valve body 12 in the plan view of the fixed valve body 12 is opened. In this way, a part of the outer periphery on the rear side of the fixed valve body 12 is formed in a shape cut out inward, so that the secondary side of the fixed valve body 12 is more than the opening whose entire circumference is closed. The opening cross-sectional area (channel cross-sectional area) of the opening 12c can be set large. Therefore, since the pressure loss when hot water passes through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 can be reduced, the entire circumference of the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 is a closed opening. In comparison, it is possible to secure a larger flow rate of hot water with the same water supply pressure, and it is possible to reduce the size of the hot water / mixing valve device 1 as a whole.

また、本実施形態による湯水混合バルブ装置1によれば、可動弁体10が開弁した状態では、固定弁体12の一次側通湯用開口部12a及び一次側通水用開口部12bのそれぞれを通過した湯水は、網部材15の表面上に沿って可動弁体10の連通開口部10a内を通過することにより整流化され、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cに流入することができる。したがって、固定弁体12の二次側開口部12cを湯水が通過する際の圧力損失を低減させることができるため、同一の給水圧でより多くの湯水の流量を確保することができ、網部材15が可動弁体10の湯水連通開口部10aの上縁部に沿って取り付けられていない場合に比べて、網部材15の表面を通過する湯水に生ずるキャビテーションを抑制し、このようなキャビテーションによって生ずる騒音を抑制することができる。   Moreover, according to the hot and cold water mixing valve device 1 according to the present embodiment, each of the primary side hot water opening 12a and the primary side water passing opening 12b of the fixed valve body 12 in a state where the movable valve body 10 is opened. The hot water that has passed through can be rectified by passing through the communication opening 10 a of the movable valve body 10 along the surface of the mesh member 15, and can flow into the secondary opening 12 c of the fixed valve body 12. it can. Therefore, since the pressure loss at the time of hot water passing through the secondary side opening 12c of the fixed valve body 12 can be reduced, it is possible to secure a larger flow rate of hot water with the same water supply pressure. Compared with the case where 15 is not attached along the upper edge part of the hot water communication opening 10a of the movable valve body 10, the cavitation generated in the hot water passing through the surface of the mesh member 15 is suppressed, and the cavitation is generated. Noise can be suppressed.
