Description

本発明は、洗浄液を噴射するための洗浄装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a cleaning device for injecting a cleaning liquid.

従来から車両には、洗浄液を噴射するための洗浄装置が備えられている。そして、ヘッドランプ等の洗浄対象を洗浄する洗浄装置等は、例えばフロントバンパの内部(裏側)に配設され、洗浄時のみ外部に突出して洗浄液をヘッドランプ等の洗浄対象に噴射する。このような洗浄装置としては、シリンダ部材に対して出没可能に設けられる長尺筒状のピストン部の先端側にピストン部の内部流路と連通した弁用開口が設けられ、弁用開口を塞ぐように弁体が押圧接触され、ピストン部の内部流路内の圧力が高くなると弁体が移動して内部流路が噴射口に連通されるものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このような洗浄装置では、内部流路に給送される洗浄液の圧力によってピストン部材が突出され、更にその後、洗浄液の圧力が高まると弁体が移動されて噴射口から洗浄液が噴射される。   Conventionally, a vehicle has been provided with a cleaning device for injecting a cleaning liquid. A cleaning device or the like that cleans an object to be cleaned such as a headlamp is disposed, for example, inside (back side) of the front bumper, and protrudes to the outside only during cleaning to inject cleaning liquid onto the object to be cleaned such as a headlamp. As such a cleaning device, a valve opening communicating with the internal flow path of the piston portion is provided on the distal end side of the long cylindrical piston portion provided so as to be able to appear and retract with respect to the cylinder member, thereby closing the valve opening. When the valve body is pressed and contacted and the pressure in the internal flow path of the piston portion increases, the valve body moves and the internal flow path communicates with the injection port (for example, see Patent Document 1). In such a cleaning apparatus, the piston member is protruded by the pressure of the cleaning liquid fed to the internal flow path, and when the pressure of the cleaning liquid further increases, the valve body is moved and the cleaning liquid is injected from the injection port.

ところで、上記した洗浄装置では、弁体を付勢する弁付勢部材が、弁用開口が形成された部材とは別体の蓋部材に支持されているため、蓋部材が組み付けられるまで弁体の押圧接触状態が決定されないことになる。そして、蓋部材は流路を閉塞してしまうため、例えば、蓋部材の組み付け時に弁体が傾く等、弁体の押圧接触状態が異常となっても、その状態を外部から確認することが困難となってしまう。このことは、例えば、全ての部品を組み付けた後での不良率を増加させる原因となり、ひいては洗浄装置の高コスト化を招く原因となる。   By the way, in the above-described cleaning device, the valve urging member that urges the valve body is supported by a lid member that is separate from the member in which the valve opening is formed, and therefore the valve body until the lid member is assembled. The pressing contact state is not determined. And since the lid member closes the flow path, it is difficult to confirm the state from the outside even if the pressure contact state of the valve body becomes abnormal, for example, the valve body tilts when the lid member is assembled. End up. This causes, for example, an increase in the defect rate after assembling all the parts, and thus causes an increase in the cost of the cleaning device.

本発明は、上記問題点を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、製造時に早い段階で異常を容易に確認することができる洗浄装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus that can easily confirm an abnormality at an early stage during manufacturing.

A valve receiving portion formed with a valve opening communicating with the internal flow path of the piston portion; and an injection port for injecting the cleaning liquid fed through the internal flow path and the valve opening to the object to be cleaned. And a valve body that is in pressure contact with the valve receiving portion so as to close the valve opening and communicates the internal flow path with the injection port when the pressure in the internal flow path is equal to or higher than a preset value. And a valve urging member that urges the valve body toward the valve receiving portion, wherein the urging support portion that supports the valve urging member is formed integrally with the valve receiving portion. are, for opening the valve, transmural along the longitudinal direction of the piston portion An erected portion is formed outside the valve receiving portion along the longitudinal direction of the piston portion, and the urging support portion faces the valve opening from the tip of the erected portion. formed to extend to the position, the biasing valve member, one end Ru is a compression coil spring which is supported the other end to the biasing supporting portion biases along the valve element in the longitudinal direction.

同構成によれば、弁付勢部材を支持する付勢支持部は、弁用開口が形成された弁受け部と一体成形されるため、その一体成形物の付勢支持部に弁付勢部材を支持させつつ弁用開口を塞ぐように弁体を弁受け部に押圧接触させることができる。よって、別体の部材に依存することなく弁体の押圧接触状態を決定することができ、例えば、各部材が全て組み付けられていない状態であって弁体が露出した状態で弁体の押圧接触状態が正常であるか否かを確認することができる。詳しくは、例えば、弁受け部とは別体で構成されたノズル部に付勢支持部が形成された場合では、ノズル部が組み付けられるまで弁体の押圧接触状態が決定されず、ノズル部の組み付け時に弁体が傾く等、押圧接触状態が異常となっても、その状態を外部から確認することは困難となってしまう虞がある。これに対して、上記構成では、ノズル部を組み付ける前に(弁体等が覆われてしまう前に)、弁体の押圧接触状態が決定され、正常であるか否かを外部から(目視等にて)容易に確認することができる。よって、製造時に早い段階で異常を容易に確認することができ、例えば、全ての部品を組み付けた後での不良率を低下させることができ、ひいては洗浄装置の低コスト化を図ることが可能となる。   According to this configuration, the urging support portion that supports the valve urging member is integrally formed with the valve receiving portion in which the valve opening is formed. The valve body can be pressed into contact with the valve receiving portion so as to close the valve opening while supporting the valve.

Even if the pressing contact state becomes abnormal, such as when the valve body is tilted during assembly, it may be difficult to confirm the state from the outside. On the other hand, in the above configuration, the pressure contact state of the valve body is determined before assembling the nozzle portion (before the valve body and the like are covered), and whether or not it is normal from the outside (visually etc. Easily). Therefore, abnormalities can be easily confirmed at an early stage at the time of manufacture, for example, the defect rate after assembling all the parts can be reduced, and thus the cost of the cleaning device can be reduced. Become.

Therefore, the valve body can be stably pressed into contact with the valve receiving portion (so as to close the valve opening), and in the state where the pressure in the internal channel does not reach the preset value, the leakage of the cleaning liquid, etc. Can be stably prevented.

上記洗浄装置において、前記立設部には、前記長手方向に沿った前記弁体の移動を案内するガイド部が設けられることが好ましい。
同構成によれば、立設部には、前記長手方向に沿った弁体の移動を案内するガイド部が設けられるため、例えば、弁体が長手方向と直交する方向にずれてしまうことが防止される。

As a result, as schematically shown in FIG. 11, the cleaning liquid ejected from the ejection port 21 is oscillated left and right and is spread and diffused.

尚、前記噴射口21の角度、即ち噴射される洗浄液の角度は、ノズルボディ15が組み付けられた状態において前記球面部15aを球面凹部14f内で転動させることで調整可能とされている。そして、2つのノズルボディ15は、例えば、一方がヘッドランプカバー3におけるロービーム用の前記ヘッドランプ光源2(図1参照)と対応した位置に角度が設定され、他方がヘッドランプカバー3におけるハイビーム用のヘッドランプ光源(図示略)と対応した位置に角度が設定される。   The angle of the injection port 21, that is, the angle of the cleaning liquid to be injected can be adjusted by rolling the spherical portion 15a in the spherical concave portion 14f in a state where the nozzle body 15 is assembled. For example, one of the two nozzle bodies 15 has an angle set at a position corresponding to the low-beam headlamp light source 2 (see FIG. 1) in the headlamp cover 3, and the other is used for the high beam in the headlamp cover 3. An angle is set at a position corresponding to the headlamp light source (not shown).

又、図2(b)に示すように、ヘッドランプ洗浄装置6は、一端がシリンダ部材11の先端部に設けられた蓋部材12に支持され、他端がピストン部材13の前記外延部13bを付勢することで、ピストン部材13をシリンダ部材11内に没入させる方向に付勢する圧縮コイルばね22を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 2B, the headlamp cleaning device 6 is supported at one end by a lid member 12 provided at the tip of the cylinder member 11 and at the other end the extension portion 13b of the piston member 13. A compression coil spring 22 is provided that biases the piston member 13 in the direction of immersing the cylinder member 11 in the cylinder member 11 by biasing.

又、図3に示すように、前記弁収容室18には、前記弁用開口13eを塞ぐように弁受け部13fに押圧接触され、内部流路13d内の圧力が予め設定した値以上(ピストン部材13をシリンダ部材11内から伸長させるのに必要な内部流路13d内の圧力よりも大きな圧力)となると内部流路13dを噴射口21に連通する弁体23が設けられている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the valve accommodating chamber 18 is pressed against the valve receiving portion 13f so as to close the valve opening 13e, and the pressure in the internal flow path 13d is equal to or higher than a preset value (piston A valve body 23 is provided that communicates the internal flow path 13d with the injection port 21 when the pressure is higher than the pressure in the internal flow path 13d necessary for extending the member 13 from the cylinder member 11.

この弁体23は、弁付勢部材としての圧縮コイルばね24によって弁受け部13f側に付勢され、圧縮コイルばね24は、弁受け部13fが形成されるピストン部材13に一体成形された付勢支持部13gに支持されている。   The valve body 23 is urged toward the valve receiving portion 13f by a compression coil spring 24 as a valve urging member, and the compression coil spring 24 is integrally formed with the piston member 13 in which the valve receiving portion 13f is formed. It is supported by the force support portion 13g.

詳述すると、図6〜図8に示すように、本実施形態では、ピストン部材13の弁受け部13fの外側にはピストン部材13の長手方向に沿って延びる立設部13hが形成されている。本実施形態の立設部13hは、前記弁用開口13eを中心とした弁受け部13fの外側に180°間隔で一対形成されている。そして、前記付勢支持部13gは、立設部13hの先端から弁用開口13eと対向する位置に延びて、言い換えると、一対の立設部13hの先端同士を連結するように延びて形成されている。付勢支持部13gの弁用開口13eと対向する面には、圧縮コイルばね24が外嵌される凸部13jが形成され、圧縮コイルばね24は、凸部13jに外嵌されつつ一端側が付勢支持部13gに支持されて、他端側が弁体23を前記長手方向に沿って弁受け部13f側に付勢するように設けられている。弁体23は、ゴム材よりなり、略四角形の板状に形成され、付勢支持部13gと対向する面に圧縮コイルばね24が外嵌される凸部23aが形成されている。   More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, in this embodiment, a standing portion 13 h extending along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 is formed outside the valve receiving portion 13 f of the piston member 13. . A pair of standing portions 13h of the present embodiment are formed at intervals of 180 ° on the outside of the valve receiving portion 13f with the valve opening 13e as the center. The biasing support portion 13g extends from the tip of the standing portion 13h to a position facing the valve opening 13e, in other words, extends so as to connect the tips of the pair of standing portions 13h. ing. A convex portion 13j to which the compression coil spring 24 is externally fitted is formed on the surface of the biasing support portion 13g that faces the valve opening 13e, and the compression coil spring 24 is attached to the convex portion 13j while having one end attached thereto. The other end side is supported by the urging support portion 13g so as to urge the valve body 23 toward the valve receiving portion 13f along the longitudinal direction. The valve body 23 is made of a rubber material, is formed in a substantially square plate shape, and a convex portion 23a on which the compression coil spring 24 is fitted is formed on a surface facing the biasing support portion 13g.

又、立設部13hには、ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿った弁体23の移動を案内するガイド部13kが形成されている。詳しくは、まず、図8に示すように、ピストン部材13の長手方向から見て、弁体23の各辺の中央には、内側に円弧状に凹むようにガイド溝23bが形成されている。そして、ガイド部13kは、立設部13hの内側の面における中央に、前記ガイド溝23bに嵌る円弧状に突出して形成され、前記ピストン部材13の長手方向(図8中、紙面直交方向)に沿って長く形成されている。これにより、弁体23は、ピストン部材13の長手方向と直交する方向にずれてしまうことが防止されつつ、ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿った移動が許容されている。又、本実施形態では、弁体23の4つの辺の全てにガイド溝23bが形成されているため、組み付け時にガイド部13kに対して大きく回転させて位置合わせする必要が無く、組み付け時の位置合わせが容易となる。又、ガイド部13kが嵌められない2つのガイド溝23bは、洗浄液が流れる流路の一部となり、流路の断面積が増えることになるため、洗浄液が流れ易くなる。   Further, a guide portion 13k that guides the movement of the valve body 23 along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 is formed in the standing portion 13h. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, first, a guide groove 23 b is formed in the center of each side of the valve body 23 so as to be recessed in an arc shape when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13. And the guide part 13k is formed in the center in the inner surface of the standing part 13h so as to project in an arc shape that fits in the guide groove 23b, and in the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 (in the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 8). It is formed long along. Accordingly, the valve body 23 is allowed to move along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 while being prevented from being displaced in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13. Further, in this embodiment, since the guide groove 23b is formed on all four sides of the valve body 23, it is not necessary to rotate the guide portion 13k and align it at the time of assembly. Matching is easy. Further, the two guide grooves 23b into which the guide portion 13k cannot be fitted become a part of the flow path through which the cleaning liquid flows, and the cross-sectional area of the flow path increases, so that the cleaning liquid easily flows.

上記構成により、弁体23は、内部流路13d内の圧力が予め設定した値以上となると、圧縮コイルばね24の付勢力に抗して移動され(図9(b)及び図10参照)、前記弁用開口13eが開放されて内部流路13dが前記噴射口21に連通される。   With the above configuration, the valve body 23 is moved against the urging force of the compression coil spring 24 when the pressure in the internal flow path 13d becomes equal to or higher than a preset value (see FIGS. 9B and 10). The valve opening 13e is opened, and the internal flow path 13d communicates with the injection port 21.

次に、上記のように構成されたヘッドランプ洗浄装置6の作用について説明する。
例えば、運転席に設けられたウォッシャスイッチが操作される等、ヘッドランプカバー3を洗浄させるための操作が行われると、電動ポンプが駆動され、ホースH及び洗浄液導入部11aを介して洗浄液がピストン部材13の内部流路13dに給送される。
Next, the operation of the headlamp cleaning device 6 configured as described above will be described.
For example, when an operation for cleaning the headlamp cover 3 is performed, such as when a washer switch provided in the driver's seat is operated, the electric pump is driven, and the cleaning liquid is pistoned through the hose H and the cleaning liquid introducing portion 11a. It is fed to the internal flow path 13d of the member 13.

すると、まず図9(a)に示すように、弁体23が弁用開口13eを閉塞しているため洗浄液の圧力によってピストン部材13が圧縮コイルばね22の付勢力に抗してシリンダ部材11の先端(蓋部材12の中央開口12a)から突出し、噴射口21(図4参照)がフロントバンパ4から突出してヘッドランプカバー3に向いた伸長状態となる。   Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, first, the valve body 23 closes the valve opening 13e, so that the piston member 13 resists the urging force of the compression coil spring 22 by the pressure of the cleaning liquid. The front end (the central opening 12a of the lid member 12) protrudes, and the injection port 21 (see FIG. 4) protrudes from the front bumper 4 so as to extend toward the headlamp cover 3.

そして、次に図9(b)及び図10に示すように、それ以上の伸長が出来ず内部流路13d内の圧力が高まると(予め設定した値以上となると)、弁体23は圧縮コイルばね24の付勢力に抗して移動され、弁用開口13eが開放されて内部流路13dから噴射口21に洗浄液が給送され、該噴射口21からヘッドランプカバー3に洗浄液が噴射される。   Then, as shown in FIG. 9B and FIG. 10, when the pressure in the internal flow path 13d increases (becomes a preset value or more) as it cannot be further extended, the valve element 23 is compressed coil. The valve is moved against the urging force of the spring 24, the valve opening 13e is opened, the cleaning liquid is fed from the internal flow path 13d to the ejection port 21, and the cleaning liquid is ejected from the ejection port 21 to the headlamp cover 3. .

このとき、洗浄液は、渦発生室19を通過する際に、渦が発生され、その遠心力によって外側(流れる方向の軸線に対して離れる方向側)に力が加わりつつ発振室20に流れ、発振室20を通過する際に、大きく左右に発振されて噴射口21から噴射される。これによって、車両の左右方向に広範囲で上下方向にも多少広範囲な所望の洗浄範囲Z1(図1中、一点鎖線参照)を含むような洗浄範囲Z2(図1中、二点鎖線参照)が洗浄される。   At this time, when the cleaning liquid passes through the vortex generating chamber 19, a vortex is generated, and the centrifugal force causes the vortex to flow to the oscillation chamber 20 while applying a force to the outside (the direction away from the flow axis). When passing through the chamber 20, it is oscillated largely to the left and right and injected from the injection port 21. As a result, the cleaning range Z2 (refer to the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) including the desired cleaning range Z1 (refer to the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1) that is wide in the left-right direction and somewhat larger in the vertical direction is cleaned. Is done.

次に、上記実施形態の特徴的な効果を以下に記載する。
(1)圧縮コイルばね24を支持する付勢支持部13gは、弁用開口13eが形成された弁受け部13fと一体成形されるため、その一体成形物の付勢支持部13gに圧縮コイルばね24を支持させつつ弁用開口13eを塞ぐように弁体23を弁受け部13fに押圧接触させることができる。よって、別体の部材に依存することなく弁体23の押圧接触状態を決定することができ、例えば、各部材(ノズル支持部材14等)が全て組み付けられていない状態であって弁体23が露出した状態で弁体23の押圧接触状態が正常であるか否かを確認することができる。詳しくは、例えば、ノズル部材5のノズル支持部材14に付勢支持部が形成された場合では、ノズル支持部材14が組み付けられるまで弁体23の押圧接触状態が決定されず、ノズル支持部材14の組み付け時に弁体23が傾く等、押圧接触状態が異常となっても、その状態を外部から確認することは困難となってしまう虞がある。これに対して、上記構成では、ノズル支持部材14を組み付ける前に(弁体23等が覆われてしまう前に)、弁体23の押圧接触状態が決定され、その押圧接触状態が正常であるか否かを外部から(目視等にて)容易に確認することができる。よって、製造時に早い段階で異常を容易に確認することができ、例えば、全ての部品を組み付けた後での不良率を低下させることができ、ひいてはヘッドランプ洗浄装置6の低コスト化を図ることが可能となる。
Next, the characteristic effects of the above embodiment will be described below.
(1) Since the biasing support portion 13g that supports the compression coil spring 24 is integrally formed with the valve receiving portion 13f in which the valve opening 13e is formed, the compression coil spring is applied to the biasing support portion 13g of the integrally molded product. The valve body 23 can be pressed and contacted with the valve receiving portion 13f so as to close the valve opening 13e while supporting the valve 24. Therefore, the pressing contact state of the valve body 23 can be determined without depending on a separate member. For example, all the members (the nozzle support member 14 and the like) are not assembled and the valve body 23 is Whether or not the pressing contact state of the valve body 23 is normal in the exposed state can be confirmed. Specifically, for example, when the urging support portion is formed on the nozzle support member 14 of the nozzle member 5, the pressing contact state of the valve body 23 is not determined until the nozzle support member 14 is assembled. Even if the pressure contact state becomes abnormal, such as when the valve body 23 is tilted during assembly, it may be difficult to confirm the state from the outside. On the other hand, in the above configuration, the pressure contact state of the valve body 23 is determined before the nozzle support member 14 is assembled (before the valve body 23 and the like are covered), and the pressure contact state is normal. It can be easily confirmed from the outside (visually or the like). Therefore, an abnormality can be easily confirmed at an early stage at the time of manufacture, for example, the defect rate after assembling all parts can be reduced, and the cost of the headlamp cleaning device 6 can be reduced. Is possible.

(2)弁受け部13fの外側にはピストン部材13の長手方向に沿って立設部13hが形成され、付勢支持部13gは、立設部13hの先端から弁用開口13eと対向する位置に延びて形成され、弁体23を付勢する弁付勢部材は、一端側が付勢支持部13gに支持されて他端側が弁体23を前記長手方向に沿って付勢する圧縮コイルばね24とされる。これにより、弁用開口13eに付勢支持部13gを対向させ、その付勢支持部13gに支持された圧縮コイルばね24にて弁体23を弁用開口13e側に安定して(真っ直ぐに)付勢させることができる。よって、弁体23を(弁用開口13eを塞ぐように)弁受け部13fに安定して押圧接触させることができ、内部流路13d内の圧力が予め設定した値に達していない状態では、洗浄液の漏れ等を安定して防止することができる。   (2) A standing portion 13h is formed outside the valve receiving portion 13f along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13, and the urging support portion 13g faces the valve opening 13e from the tip of the standing portion 13h. The valve urging member that is formed extending in the direction and that urges the valve body 23 is supported by the urging support portion 13g at one end side and the compression coil spring 24 that urges the valve body 23 along the longitudinal direction at the other end side. It is said. Thus, the biasing support portion 13g is opposed to the valve opening 13e, and the valve body 23 is stably (straightly) on the valve opening 13e side by the compression coil spring 24 supported by the biasing support portion 13g. Can be energized. Therefore, the valve body 23 can be stably pressed into contact with the valve receiving portion 13f (so as to close the valve opening 13e), and in a state where the pressure in the internal flow path 13d has not reached a preset value, It is possible to stably prevent the leakage of the cleaning liquid.

(3)立設部13hは、弁用開口13eを中心とした弁受け部13fの外側に180°間隔で一対形成される。よって、例えば、立設部13hが1つしか形成されない構成に比べて、立設部13hの先端から弁用開口13eと対向する位置に延びて形成される付勢支持部13gの姿勢が安定し、弁体23を弁用開口13e側に、より一層安定して(真っ直ぐに)付勢させることができる。   (3) A pair of standing portions 13h are formed at intervals of 180 ° on the outside of the valve receiving portion 13f centered on the valve opening 13e. Therefore, for example, as compared with a configuration in which only one standing portion 13h is formed, the posture of the biasing support portion 13g formed extending from the tip of the standing portion 13h to a position facing the valve opening 13e is stabilized. The valve body 23 can be urged more stably (straightly) toward the valve opening 13e.

(4)立設部13hには、ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿った弁体23の移動を案内するガイド部13kが設けられるため、例えば、弁体23が長手方向と直交する方向にずれてしまうことが防止される。   (4) Since the standing portion 13h is provided with a guide portion 13k for guiding the movement of the valve body 23 along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13, for example, the valve body 23 is shifted in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Is prevented.

(5)弁受け部13fは、ピストン部材13と一体成形されるため、別体とされたものに比べて、部品点数を少なくすることが可能となる。
上記実施形態は、以下のように変更してもよい。
(5) Since the valve receiving portion 13f is integrally formed with the piston member 13, it is possible to reduce the number of parts compared to a separate member.
The above embodiment may be modified as follows.

・上記実施形態では、弁付勢部材は圧縮コイルばね24であって、付勢支持部13gは立設部13hの先端から弁用開口13eと対向する位置に延びて形成される構成としたが、弁付勢部材は圧縮コイルばね24以外の弁付勢部材としてもよいし、その弁付勢部材を支持する付勢支持部は弁受け部と一体成形されれば他の構成に変更してもよい。   In the above embodiment, the valve urging member is the compression coil spring 24, and the urging support portion 13g is formed to extend from the tip of the standing portion 13h to a position facing the valve opening 13e. The valve urging member may be a valve urging member other than the compression coil spring 24, and the urging support part that supports the valve urging member may be changed to another configuration if it is integrally formed with the valve receiving part. Also good.

例えば、図12〜図16に示すように、変更してもよい。この例では、ピストン部材13の先端部には、該ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿って延びて先端が閉塞された弁用筒状部13mが形成されている。そして、弁用筒状部13mには、その側方に(径方向に)貫通した開口である弁用開口13nが形成され、弁用筒状部13mにおける弁用開口13nの外側の周囲が弁受け部13pとされている。尚、この例では弁用開口13nは、弁用筒状部13mに180°間隔で一対形成されている。又、弁用筒状部13mには、付勢支持部としての支持溝13qが形成されている。この支持溝13qは、弁用筒状部13mの先端面を分割するように凹設されている。そして、支持溝13qには、基端部32aが挿入されることで支持されて先端部が弁体31を弁用筒状部13mの側方の外側から内側に(即ち径方向内側に)付勢する板ばね32が組み付けられている。この板ばね32は、基端部32aが前記支持溝13qに嵌る平板状に形成され、支持溝13qの両側から突出した部位がそれぞれ弁用筒状部13mに巻き付くように延びてその両先端部に設けられたゴム材よりなる弁体31を径方向内側に(前記弁用開口13n側に)付勢している。   For example, it may be changed as shown in FIGS. In this example, a valve cylindrical portion 13m extending along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 and closing the tip is formed at the tip portion of the piston member 13. The valve tubular portion 13m is formed with a valve opening 13n which is an opening penetrating to the side (in the radial direction), and the periphery of the valve tubular portion 13m outside the valve opening 13n is a valve. It is set as the receiving part 13p. In this example, a pair of valve openings 13n are formed at intervals of 180 ° in the valve tubular portion 13m. Further, a support groove 13q as an urging support portion is formed in the valve tubular portion 13m. The support groove 13q is recessed so as to divide the distal end surface of the valve tubular portion 13m. The support groove 13q is supported by inserting the proximal end portion 32a, and the distal end portion attaches the valve body 31 from the lateral outer side to the inner side (that is, radially inward) of the valve tubular portion 13m. A plate spring 32 is installed. The leaf spring 32 is formed in a flat plate shape with a base end portion 32a fitted into the support groove 13q, and the portions protruding from both sides of the support groove 13q extend so as to be wound around the valve tubular portion 13m, respectively. The valve body 31 made of a rubber material provided in the portion is urged radially inward (to the valve opening 13n side).

又、この例(図12〜図16参照)におけるノズル支持部材14は、前記弁収容筒部14b及び流路筒部14cの内側に前記弁用筒状部13mを収容するように(前記ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿って)組み付けられ、組み付けられた状態で前記板ばね32の基端部32aの支持溝13qからの抜け方向の移動を規制する規制部14gを有する。この例の規制部14gは、2つの渦発生部14dの上部を連結する上壁から弁用筒状部13mの先端面と当接する位置まで延びて形成されている。   Further, in this example (see FIGS. 12 to 16), the nozzle support member 14 accommodates the valve tubular portion 13m inside the valve accommodating tubular portion 14b and the flow passage tubular portion 14c (the piston member). 13) and a restricting portion 14 g that restricts movement of the base end portion 32 a of the leaf spring 32 from the support groove 13 q in the assembled state. The restricting portion 14g in this example is formed to extend from an upper wall connecting the upper portions of the two vortex generating portions 14d to a position where the restricting portion 14g comes into contact with the distal end surface of the valve tubular portion 13m.

このようにしても、内部流路13d内の圧力が高まると(予め設定した値以上となると)、弁体31は板ばね32の付勢力に抗して径方向外側に移動され(図16参照)、弁用開口13nが開放されて内部流路13dから前記噴射口21に洗浄液が給送され、該噴射口21からヘッドランプカバー3に洗浄液が噴射される。   Even in this case, when the pressure in the internal flow path 13d increases (becomes a preset value or more), the valve element 31 is moved radially outward against the urging force of the leaf spring 32 (see FIG. 16). ), The valve opening 13n is opened, the cleaning liquid is fed from the internal flow path 13d to the ejection port 21, and the cleaning liquid is ejected from the ejection port 21 to the headlamp cover 3.

そして、板ばね32を支持する支持溝13qは、弁用開口13nが形成された弁受け部13pと一体成形されるため、ノズル支持部材14を組み付ける前に(弁体31等が覆われてしまう前に)、弁体31の押圧接触状態が決定され、その押圧接触状態が正常であるか否かを外部から(目視等にて)容易に確認することができる。よって、製造時に早い段階で異常を容易に確認することができ、例えば、全ての部品を組み付けた後での不良率を低下させることができ、ひいてはヘッドランプ洗浄装置6の低コスト化を図ることが可能となる。   Since the support groove 13q for supporting the leaf spring 32 is integrally formed with the valve receiving portion 13p in which the valve opening 13n is formed, the valve body 31 and the like are covered before the nozzle support member 14 is assembled. Before), the pressing contact state of the valve body 31 is determined, and whether or not the pressing contact state is normal can be easily confirmed from the outside (by visual observation or the like). Therefore, an abnormality can be easily confirmed at an early stage at the time of manufacture, for example, the defect rate after assembling all parts can be reduced, and the cost of the headlamp cleaning device 6 can be reduced. Is possible.

又、ノズル支持部材14は、弁用筒状部13mを収容するように組み付けられ、組み付けられた状態で板ばね32の基端部32aの支持溝13qからの抜け方向の移動を規制する規制部14gを有するため、製造後に板ばね32の基端部32aが支持溝13qから抜けてしまうことが防止される。   In addition, the nozzle support member 14 is assembled so as to accommodate the valve tubular portion 13m, and in the assembled state, a restriction portion that restricts the movement of the base end portion 32a of the leaf spring 32 in the removal direction from the support groove 13q. Since it has 14g, it is prevented that the base end part 32a of the leaf | plate spring 32 slips out from the support groove 13q after manufacture.

・上記実施形態では、立設部13hは、弁用開口13eを中心とした弁受け部13fの外側に180°間隔で一対形成されるとしたが、これに限定されず、例えば、他の間隔で一対形成してもよいし、数を1つや3つ以上としてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the standing portions 13h are formed as a pair at intervals of 180 ° on the outside of the valve receiving portion 13f with the valve opening 13e as the center. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A pair may be formed, or the number may be one or three or more.

・上記実施形態では、立設部13hには、ピストン部材13の長手方向に沿った弁体23の移動を案内するガイド部13kが設けられるとしたが、これに限定されず、ガイド部13kが設けられていない構成としてもよい。   -In above-mentioned embodiment, although the guide part 13k which guides the movement of the valve body 23 along the longitudinal direction of the piston member 13 was provided in the standing part 13h, it is not limited to this, The guide part 13k is provided. It is good also as a structure which is not provided.

・上記実施形態では、弁受け部13fは、ピストン部材13と一体成形されるとしたが、これに限定されず、別体としてもよい。尚、この場合、勿論、弁受け部が形成された部材に、弁付勢部材を支持する付勢支持部を一体成形する。   In the above embodiment, the valve receiving portion 13f is integrally formed with the piston member 13, but is not limited thereto, and may be a separate body. In this case, as a matter of course, the urging support portion for supporting the valve urging member is integrally formed on the member in which the valve receiving portion is formed.

・上記実施形態では、噴射口21から噴射される洗浄液が拡散噴射とされる構成(即ち発振室20を有する構成)としたが、これに限定されず、例えば、噴射される洗浄液が直線的なジェット噴射とされる等、他の噴射パターンで洗浄液が噴射される構成に変更してもよい。尚、勿論、2つの噴射口からそれぞれ異なる噴射パターンで洗浄液が噴射される構成としてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the cleaning liquid ejected from the ejection port 21 is configured to be diffusely sprayed (that is, the structure having the oscillation chamber 20). However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be changed to a configuration in which the cleaning liquid is ejected in another ejection pattern such as jet ejection. Of course, the cleaning liquid may be ejected from the two ejection ports in different ejection patterns.
