上述したように、薬液供給装置は、薬液容器100の薬液排出口102に支持体110の接続部材112を嵌合させることで、薬液容器100を支持体110に装着している。また、装置によっては、上述した嵌合に加えて、支持体110の開口周縁に係合突部(図示せず)を設け、薬液容器100の端部104に設けられた係合凹部105に係合させることで、薬液容器100を支持体110に装着している。一方、使用後は、空の薬液容器100を新たな薬液容器100に取り替えるために、薬液容器100を支持体110から取り外すが、このとき、薬液容器100と支持体110とは少なくとも嵌合により取り外し難くなっているので、取り外すには、一方の手で薬液容器100を持つとともに他方の手で支持体110を持ち、薬液容器100を支持体110から強く引き離す必要がある。しかし、この場合に、薬液容器100に薬液が僅かに残っていると、薬液容器100を支持体110から強く引き離した際に薬液容器100内の残存する薬液が薬液排出口102から飛び散って使用者の服などに付着するおそれがある。また、支持体110の案内部材111に薬液が付着していると、支持体110を手で持った際に手に薬液が付着するおそれがある。このように、薬液容器100を支持体110から取り外す際に、薬液が服や手に付着すると、使用者は不快に感じるおそれがある。よって、上述した薬液供給装置では、薬液容器100を支持体110から取り外す際の操作性に改善の余地がある。   As described above, the chemical solution supply apparatus mounts the chemical solution container 100 on the support 110 by fitting the connection member 112 of the support 110 to the chemical solution discharge port 102 of the chemical solution container 100. Further, depending on the device, in addition to the above-mentioned fitting, an engagement protrusion (not shown) is provided on the opening periphery of the support 110 and engaged with the engagement recess 105 provided on the end portion 104 of the drug solution container 100. By combining them, the drug solution container 100 is mounted on the support 110. On the other hand, after use, the drug solution container 100 is removed from the support 110 in order to replace the empty drug solution container 100 with a new drug solution container 100. At this time, the drug solution container 100 and the support 110 are removed at least by fitting. Since it is difficult to remove, it is necessary to hold the drug solution container 100 with one hand and hold the support 110 with the other hand, and to strongly pull the drug solution container 100 away from the support 110. However, in this case, when the chemical solution is slightly left in the chemical solution container 100, when the chemical solution container 100 is strongly pulled away from the support 110, the chemical solution remaining in the chemical solution container 100 splattered from the chemical solution outlet 102 and the user. There is a risk of sticking to clothes and the like. In addition, when the chemical solution adheres to the guide member 111 of the support 110, the chemical solution may adhere to the hand when the support 110 is held by hand. Thus, when the drug solution adheres to clothes or hands when removing the drug solution container 100 from the support 110, the user may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, in the chemical liquid supply device described above, there is room for improvement in operability when the chemical liquid container 100 is removed from the support 110.

このような問題は、貯水タンク上部の給水受皿に設置されるタイプのみならず、便器のリムに取り付けられるタイプの薬液供給装置においても起こりうる問題である。   Such a problem is a problem that may occur not only in the type installed in the water supply tray at the top of the water storage tank, but also in the type of chemical solution supply type installed in the rim of the toilet bowl.

By fitting the inner side wall 41 to the inside of the outer side wall 34 of the support 3, the cover member 4 is mounted so as to cover the bottom surface portion 30. At this time, the surrounding wall 42 is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the outer side wall 34. The upper surface portion 40 includes a lower portion 40a having a circular shape in a plan view and a upper portion 40b around the lower portion 40a which is higher than the lower portion 40a. A cylindrical connecting member 43 connected to the discharge port 21 of the chemical solution container 2 is provided at the central position of the lower portion 40 a.

接続部材43は、カバー部材4の下段部40aの上面に設けられている。接続部材43は、図23に示すように、先端部43Aと先端部43Aよりも大径の基端部43Bとからなる。先端部43Aの上端は斜めに切り取られており、上部開口が傾斜している。図24に示すように、薬液容器2の排出口21に接続部材43が接続されて両者が嵌合する際には、接続部材43の基端部43Bがキャップ22の本体部27内に嵌合して内側壁部27Aの内周面と当接するとともに、本体部27の係合突部27Dが接続部材43の先端部43Aと係合して先端部43Aの外周面と当接している。   The connection member 43 is provided on the upper surface of the lower portion 40 a of the cover member 4. As shown in FIG. 23, the connecting member 43 is composed of a distal end 43A and a proximal end 43B larger in diameter than the distal end 43A. The upper end of the tip portion 43A is cut off obliquely, and the upper opening is inclined. As shown in FIG. 24, when the connection member 43 is connected to the discharge port 21 of the chemical solution container 2 and both are fitted, the base end 43 B of the connection member 43 is fitted in the main body 27 of the cap 22. Then, while being in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner side wall 27A, the engaging projection 27D of the main body 27 is engaged with the distal end 43A of the connecting member 43 and is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the distal end 43A.

図18〜図22に戻って、カバー部材4の下段部40aの下面には、接続部材43よりも小径の円筒状の排出部材44が同心円状に設けられている。接続部材43と排出部材44とは、流通孔45を介して連通しており、接続部材43及び排出部材44の内部は、薬液を薬液容器2から後述する案内部材5に通す薬液通路を構成している。接続部材43内の排出部材44の周囲には、連通孔61が複数(図示例では3個)形成されている。この連通孔61は、後述する調整機構6を構成するものである。   Referring back to FIGS. 18 to 22, a cylindrical discharge member 44 having a diameter smaller than that of the connection member 43 is concentrically provided on the lower surface of the lower portion 40 a of the cover member 4. The connection member 43 and the discharge member 44 communicate with each other through the flow hole 45, and the insides of the connection member 43 and the discharge member 44 constitute a chemical solution passage for passing the chemical solution from the chemical solution container 2 to the guide member 5 described later. ing. A plurality of (three in the illustrated example) communication holes 61 are formed around the discharge member 44 in the connection member 43. The communication hole 61 constitutes an adjustment mechanism 6 described later.

図10〜図15に戻って、支持体3の底面部30の外側壁34に囲まれた領域の中央部には、円形の底孔35が形成されている。この底孔35内にはカバー部材4の排出部材44が嵌合可能である。そして、支持体3の底面部30の下面には、底孔35を横断するようにして板状の案内部材5が設けられている。案内部材5は、薬液容器2から接続部材43及び排出部材44を介して排出された薬液を支持体3の外部の断続的に流れる液体と接触する位置へ案内するためのものであり、案内部材5の上面には、排出部材44内に嵌合可能な嵌合突部50が設けられている。嵌合突部50の外側面には、図16に示すように、上端部から下端部まで延びる縦溝51が形成されており、縦溝51により、排出部材44の内周面との間に薬液の導出路が形成されている。縦溝51の断面形状は、半円状の他、三角形や四角形などの角状など、種々の形状とすることができる。また、その断面寸法は、毛管作用により薬液が導出路に沿って導出され得る程度とするのが望ましい。底孔35の周囲には、排出部材44と嵌合突部50との嵌合状態を確実に保持するために、排出部材44が嵌合可能な環状壁36が設けられている。   Referring back to FIGS. 10 to 15, a circular bottom hole 35 is formed in the central portion of the region surrounded by the outer side wall 34 of the bottom portion 30 of the support 3. The discharge member 44 of the cover member 4 can be fitted in the bottom hole 35. A plate-like guide member 5 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom surface 30 of the support 3 so as to cross the bottom hole 35. The guide member 5 is for guiding the drug solution discharged from the drug solution container 2 through the connection member 43 and the discharge member 44 to a position in contact with the intermittently flowing liquid outside the support 3, and the guide member A fitting protrusion 50 that can be fitted in the discharge member 44 is provided on the upper surface of the fifth member 5. As shown in FIG. 16, a longitudinal groove 51 extending from the upper end to the lower end is formed on the outer surface of the fitting projection 50, and between the inner circumferential surface of the discharge member 44 and the longitudinal groove 51. A drug solution outlet is formed. The cross-sectional shape of the longitudinal groove 51 can be various shapes such as a semicircular shape, a square shape such as a triangle or a quadrangle, and the like. In addition, it is desirable that the cross-sectional dimension be such that the drug solution can be drawn out along the lead-out path by capillary action. An annular wall 36 to which the discharge member 44 can be fitted is provided around the bottom hole 35 in order to securely hold the fitting state of the discharge member 44 and the fitting projection 50.

案内部材5は、上面が排出部材44の下端部に当接している。案内部材5の表裏の板面には、図17に示すように、上下方向に延びる多数の細溝52が形成されている。この案内部材5は、2本の長脚部32の間に位置しており、長脚部32とともに給水受皿の排水口に挿入される。ただし、案内部材5は長脚部32よりもやや短く形成されており、その下端部のみが排水口に挿入可能となっている。案内部材5と長脚部32との間には、筒状の遮蔽壁37が設けられている。遮蔽壁37は、案内部材5よりもさらに短く形成されており、長脚部32は支持体3を排水口に位置決めし、案内部材5は排水口に流下する水に接することで、案内部材5上の薬液が水に洗い流されて貯水タンクの中に流れ込む。一方、遮蔽壁37は、流下する水が前記導出路から支持体3内に逆流することを規制している。   The upper surface of the guide member 5 is in contact with the lower end portion of the discharge member 44. As shown in FIG. 17, a large number of narrow grooves 52 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the front and back plate surfaces of the guide member 5. The guide member 5 is located between the two long legs 32 and is inserted into the water outlet of the water supply receiver together with the long legs 32. However, the guide member 5 is formed slightly shorter than the long leg portion 32, and only the lower end portion thereof can be inserted into the drainage port. A cylindrical shielding wall 37 is provided between the guide member 5 and the long leg 32. The shielding wall 37 is formed shorter than the guiding member 5, and the long leg 32 positions the support 3 at the drainage port, and the guiding member 5 contacts the water flowing down to the drainage port. The above drug solution is washed away with water and flows into the water storage tank. On the other hand, the shielding wall 37 regulates the backflow of flowing water from the outlet to the inside of the support 3.

支持体3は、底面部30の外側壁34の内側に、カバー部材4の内側壁41を嵌合させることで組み立てられる。これにより、支持体3には、図3及び図4に示すように、底面部30とカバー部材4との間に緩衝室60が形成される。緩衝室60は、排出部材44とは仕切られており、薬液が貯留可能な空間を有している。   The support 3 is assembled by fitting the inner side wall 41 of the cover member 4 to the inside of the outer side wall 34 of the bottom portion 30. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the buffer chamber 60 is formed between the bottom surface portion 30 and the cover member 4 in the support 3. The buffer chamber 60 is separated from the discharge member 44, and has a space in which the drug solution can be stored.

緩衝室60は、薬液容器2から排出される薬液の量を調整する調整機構6を構成するものであり、調整機構6は、緩衝室60、上述した連通孔61、及び、緩衝室60に空気を流入させる空気流通孔62により構成される。連通孔61は、薬液容器2から接続部材43に排出された薬液の一部を、緩衝室60へ導入可能である。   The buffer chamber 60 constitutes the adjustment mechanism 6 for adjusting the amount of the chemical solution discharged from the chemical solution container 2, and the adjustment mechanism 6 includes the buffer chamber 60, the communication hole 61 described above, and the air in the buffer chamber 60. Are formed by the air flow holes 62 for introducing the The communication hole 61 can introduce a part of the drug solution discharged from the drug solution container 2 to the connection member 43 into the buffer chamber 60.

空気流通孔62は、本実施形態では、緩衝室60の側壁(外側壁34及び内側壁41からなる)に設けられている。つまり、支持体3の外側壁34の上端部が凹状に切り欠かれることで、外側壁34に貫通穴63(図12及び図15に示す)が形成されている一方で、カバー部材4の内側壁41には、その上端部から下端部まで上下方向に延びるスリット64(図19及び図21に示す)が形成されている。このスリット64は、支持体3の外側壁34の貫通穴63に対応する位置に形成されており、カバー部材4を支持体3に装着して、貫通穴63とスリット64とを一致させることで、空気流通孔62が形成される。   The air flow holes 62 are provided in the side wall (consisting of the outer side wall 34 and the inner side wall 41) of the buffer chamber 60 in this embodiment. That is, the upper end portion of the outer side wall 34 of the support 3 is notched in a concave shape, whereby the through hole 63 (shown in FIGS. 12 and 15) is formed in the outer side wall 34. The wall 41 is formed with a slit 64 (shown in FIGS. 19 and 21) extending in the vertical direction from the upper end to the lower end. The slit 64 is formed at a position corresponding to the through hole 63 of the outer side wall 34 of the support 3, and the cover member 4 is attached to the support 3 to match the through hole 63 with the slit 64. , And the air flow holes 62 are formed.

なお、本実施形態では、空気流通孔62は、平面視略楕円形状の緩衝室60の側壁(外側壁34および内側壁41)の長手方向の端部位置に対向して設けられているが、空気流通孔62の配置は、必ずしもこれに限られるものではなく、緩衝室60の側壁のいずれの位置に設けることができる。また、本実施形態では、緩衝室60の側壁の上端部に空気流通孔62が設けられているが、上端部よりも下方位置に設けることもできる。ただし、あまりに下方に配置すると、給水受皿に供給された水が支持体3の内部へ浸入したときに、その水が空気流通孔62を通って緩衝室60内に浸入するおそれがあるので好ましくない。また、本実施形態では、内側壁41に縦長のスリット64を設けることにより空気流通孔62を形成しているが、内側壁41にも外側壁34と同じように貫通穴を設け、貫通穴同士を一致させることで、空気流通孔62を形成してもよい。また、本実施形態では、空気流通孔62は水平方向を向いているが、水平方向よりも下向き(斜め下向き)になるように形成してもよい。   In the present embodiment, the air flow holes 62 are provided to face the end positions of the side walls (the outer wall 34 and the inner wall 41) of the buffer chamber 60 having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view in the longitudinal direction. The arrangement of the air flow holes 62 is not necessarily limited to this, and can be provided at any position on the side wall of the buffer chamber 60. Further, in the present embodiment, the air flow hole 62 is provided at the upper end portion of the side wall of the buffer chamber 60, but may be provided at a lower position than the upper end portion. However, if it is arranged too low, when water supplied to the water supply tray intrudes into the interior of the support 3, the water may enter the buffer chamber 60 through the air flow holes 62, which is not preferable. . Further, in the present embodiment, the air flow holes 62 are formed by providing the vertically elongated slits 64 in the inner side wall 41, but the inner side wall 41 is also provided with through holes in the same manner as the outer side wall 34. The air flow holes 62 may be formed by matching the two. Further, in the present embodiment, the air flow holes 62 are directed in the horizontal direction, but may be formed to be downward (obliquely downward) in the horizontal direction.

また、空気流通孔62は、必ずしも緩衝室60の側壁62に設けられている必要はなく、緩衝室60の上壁(カバー部材4の上面部40)に設けられていてもよい。   In addition, the air flow holes 62 do not necessarily have to be provided in the side wall 62 of the buffer chamber 60, and may be provided in the upper wall of the buffer chamber 60 (upper surface portion 40 of the cover member 4).

上記した調整機構6は、薬液容器2の温度変化に対して次のように作用をする。例えば、温度が上昇して薬液容器2が暖められた場合には、薬液容器2内の空気が膨張して薬液容器2内は正圧になる。この場合、薬液容器2内の薬液は押し出されて排出口21から排出されるが、排出された薬液は、排出部材44から導出路に流れ込む他、連通孔61を介して緩衝室60にも流れ込むため、薬液が前記導出路へ過剰に流出するのが防止される。   The adjustment mechanism 6 described above acts on the temperature change of the chemical solution container 2 as follows. For example, when the temperature rises and the drug solution container 2 is warmed, the air in the drug solution container 2 expands and the inside of the drug solution container 2 becomes positive pressure. In this case, the drug solution in the drug solution container 2 is pushed out and discharged from the discharge port 21, but the discharged drug solution flows from the discharge member 44 into the lead-out path and also flows into the buffer chamber 60 through the communication hole 61. Therefore, the drug solution is prevented from flowing out excessively to the lead-out path.

一方、流水で冷やされるなどして、薬液容器2の温度が低下すると、薬液容器2内の空気が収縮して薬液容器2内は負圧になる。この場合には、空気流通孔62の作用により大気圧または室内圧となっている緩衝室60内の薬液が、連通孔61を介して薬液容器2内へ吸い込まれる。したがって、案内部材5上の水又は薄められた薬液が排出部材44を通って薬液容器2側に戻されるのが抑制される。また、薬液容器2内の負圧によって薬液の排出が制限されるのが防止される。このように、調整機構6によって、温度変化によって薬液容器2内に圧力変化が生じた場合でも、薬液容器2と緩衝室60との間での薬液の流通が生じるため、薬液容器2内の薬液が過剰に流出したり、あるいは、流出が制限されるのを防止することができる。なお、緩衝室60の容量(連通孔61の下端面から空気流通孔62の下端面までの間の容量)は、薬液容器2の容量(図5における排出口21の上端面までの容量)と以下の関係にあることが好ましい。すなわち、薬液容器2の容量が75mlの場合は緩衝室60の容量が2.7ml程度であることが好ましく、薬液容器2の容量が100mlの場合は緩衝室60の容量が3.6ml程度であることが好ましく、薬液容器2の容量が150mlの場合は緩衝室60の容量が5.4ml程度であることが好ましい。薬液容器2と緩衝室60との容量を上記のように設定することによって、例えば支持体3の外側壁34とカバー部材4の内側壁41との嵌合部分から薬液が漏出する等の不具合が抑制され、且つ緩衝室60の機能も十分に発揮される。   On the other hand, when the temperature of the drug solution container 2 is lowered by cooling with flowing water or the like, the air in the drug solution container 2 contracts and the inside of the drug solution container 2 becomes negative pressure. In this case, the chemical solution in the buffer chamber 60, which is at atmospheric pressure or room pressure, is sucked into the chemical solution container 2 through the communication hole 61 by the action of the air flow hole 62. Therefore, the return of the water or the diluted drug solution on the guide member 5 to the drug solution container 2 side through the discharge member 44 is suppressed. In addition, the negative pressure in the chemical solution container 2 prevents the discharge of the chemical solution from being restricted. As described above, even when a pressure change occurs in the drug solution container 2 due to a temperature change by the adjusting mechanism 6, the flow of the drug solution occurs between the drug solution container 2 and the buffer chamber 60. Can prevent excessive spillage or limited spillage. The volume of the buffer chamber 60 (the volume between the lower end surface of the communication hole 61 and the lower surface of the air flow hole 62) is the volume of the chemical solution container 2 (the volume to the upper surface of the discharge port 21 in FIG. 5) It is preferable to have the following relationship. That is, when the volume of the drug solution container 2 is 75 ml, the volume of the buffer chamber 60 is preferably about 2.7 ml, and when the volume of the drug solution container 2 is 100 ml, the volume of the buffer chamber 60 is about 3.6 ml When the volume of the drug solution container 2 is 150 ml, the volume of the buffer chamber 60 is preferably about 5.4 ml. By setting the capacities of the drug solution container 2 and the buffer chamber 60 as described above, for example, the drug solution may leak from the fitting portion between the outer wall 34 of the support 3 and the inner wall 41 of the cover member 4. Thus, the function of the buffer chamber 60 is sufficiently exerted.

図10〜図15に戻って、支持体3の側面部31には、薬液の芳香成分を外部に拡散させるための開口38が形成されている。また、底面部30の外側壁34の外側位置には、給水受皿に供給された水が支持体3の内部へ浸入したときに、その水を外部へ排出するための開口39が形成されている。   Referring back to FIGS. 10 to 15, the side surface portion 31 of the support 3 is formed with an opening 38 for diffusing the aroma component of the chemical solution to the outside. In addition, an opening 39 is formed at the outer side position of the outer side wall 34 of the bottom portion 30 for discharging the water to the outside when the water supplied to the water supply tray intrudes into the inside of the support 3. .

支持体3には、押圧により少なくとも一部分が内方に移動可能な押圧部7が少なくとも1つ設けられている。一方で、薬液容器2には、図4、図5及び図7に示すように、押圧部7が接触した状態での押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い薬液容器2の上方への移動を誘発する誘発部8が設けられている。つまり、誘発部8は、押圧部7の内方への移動により押圧部7と接触し、押圧部7との接触後は、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴って押圧部7から押圧力を受けることで、薬液容器2を上方に押し上げて移動させるように構成されている。薬液容器2が支持体3と嵌合状態にあるとき、薬液容器2の上方への移動は、支持体3との嵌合を自動的に解除するように作用する。よって、本実施形態の薬液供給装置1では、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外す際に、押圧部7を単に内側に向けて押圧することで、薬液容器2が支持体3との嵌合が外れる上方に移動するため、薬液容器2を支持体3から容易に取り外すことができる。   The support 3 is provided with at least one pressing portion 7 which can move at least partially inward by pressing. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the liquid medicine container 2 is moved upward as the pushing part 7 moves inward with the pushing part 7 in contact. A trigger 8 is provided to trigger the That is, the inducing unit 8 contacts the pressing unit 7 by the inward movement of the pressing unit 7, and after the contacting with the pressing unit 7, the inducing unit 8 presses the pressing unit 7 from the pressing unit 7 along with the inward movement of the pressing unit 7. By receiving pressure, the drug solution container 2 is configured to be pushed upward and moved. When the drug solution container 2 is in a fitted state with the support 3, the upward movement of the drug solution container 2 acts to automatically release the fit with the support 3. Therefore, in the drug solution supply device 1 of the present embodiment, when the drug solution container 2 is removed from the support 3, the drug solution container 2 is fitted with the support 3 by simply pressing the pressing portion 7 inward. The drug solution container 2 can be easily removed from the support 3 because it moves upward.

本実施形態では、支持体3の側面部31に、上端部から下方(底面部30)に向けて延びる一対の切欠き70を間隔をあけて設けることで、板状の押圧部7が支持体3に一体に設けられている。この板状の押圧部7は、基端部71(切欠き70の先端に位置する側面部31との連結部)を軸にして側面部31に対して支持体3の内外方向に傾動可能であり、この押圧部7の傾動に伴い、押圧部7の上端部72が内方に移動する。本実施形態では、押圧部7は、上端部72が基端部71のほぼ真上に位置しているので、押圧部7の上端部72は、押圧部7の内側への傾動により、円弧を描くようにして斜め下方に向けて移動する。   In the present embodiment, the plate-like pressing portion 7 is a support by providing a pair of notches 70 extending from the upper end toward the lower side (bottom surface portion 30) in the side surface 31 of the support 3 at intervals. It is provided integrally with 3. The plate-like pressing portion 7 can be tilted in the inward / outward direction of the support 3 with respect to the side surface portion 31 with the base end portion 71 (the connecting portion with the side surface portion 31 located at the tip of the notch 70) as an axis The upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 moves inward with the tilting of the pressing portion 7. In the present embodiment, since the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 is located almost directly above the base end portion 71, the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 is arc-shaped by inward tilting of the pressing portion 7. Move as you draw diagonally downward.

また、本実施形態では、押圧部7は、一対の切欠き70が平行に側面部31に設けられることで、外形が矩形状に形成されており、押圧部7の上端部72の2つの角が面取りされている。ただし、押圧部7の外形は矩形状に限定されるものではなく、種々の形状に形成することができる。例えば、一対の切欠き70を側面部31にハ字状、逆ハ字状、逆V字状に設けることで、押圧部7の外形を台形状、逆台形状、三角形状などに形成してもよい。なお、矩形状や台形状、逆台形状などのように、押圧部7の上端部72が幅を有する外形に形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、押圧部7は、詳細は後述するが、上端部72が薬液容器2の摺動面80に幅広く接触した状態で摺動面80上を動くので、押圧部7を摺動面80の延びる方向に沿って真っ直ぐ移動させることができる。その結果、薬液容器2を支持体3に対して真っ直ぐ上方に移動させることができるので、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合を良好に外すことができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the pressing portion 7 is formed in a rectangular shape by forming the pair of notches 70 in parallel in the side surface portion 31, and the two corners of the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 Is chamfered. However, the outer shape of the pressing portion 7 is not limited to the rectangular shape, and can be formed in various shapes. For example, the external shape of the pressing portion 7 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, a reverse trapezoidal shape, a triangular shape, or the like by providing the pair of notches 70 in the V shape, the reverse C shape or the reverse V shape in the side surface portion 31 It is also good. In addition, it is preferable that the upper end part 72 of the press part 7 is formed in the external shape which has a width | variety like rectangular shape, trapezoid shape, inverted trapezoidal shape etc. FIG. As a result, the pressing portion 7 moves on the sliding surface 80 in a state where the upper end portion 72 contacts the sliding surface 80 of the chemical solution container 2 as described in detail later. It can be moved straight along the extending direction. As a result, since the drug solution container 2 can be moved straight upward with respect to the support 3, the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 can be favorably removed.

また、所定幅を有するスリット状の切欠き70ではなく、線状の切込みを側面部31に設けることによっても、同様の板状の押圧部7を支持体3に一体に設けることができる。また、一対の切欠き70(又は切込み)を側面部31の上端部から設けなくても、例えば、コ字状、U字状、V字状などの切欠き(又は切込み)を上に凸となるようにして側面部31に設けることで、側面部31に対して支持体3の内外方向に傾動可能な板状の押圧部7を支持体3に一体に設けることができる。   Further, the same plate-like pressing portion 7 can be integrally provided on the support 3 by providing not the slit-like notch 70 having a predetermined width but a linear notch in the side surface portion 31. Further, even if the pair of notches 70 (or notches) are not provided from the upper end of the side surface portion 31, for example, the notches (or notches) such as U-shaped, U-shaped or V-shaped are convex upward Thus, by providing the side surface portion 31, the plate-like pressing portion 7 capable of tilting in the inner and outer directions of the support 3 with respect to the side surface portion 31 can be integrally provided on the support 3.

押圧部7の支持体3に設けられる位置は特に限定されるものではないが、支持体3の長手方向(第1の方向)に延びる部分である前側縁部3C及び/又は後側縁部3Dに設けられているのが好ましい。薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外す際には、支持体3を片方の手で掴んで押圧部7を指で押圧操作する必要があるが、支持体3の長手方向(第1の方向)に延びる部分に押圧部7が設けられていると、支持体3を手で掴んで指で押圧部7の押圧操作がし易くなるからである。   The position of the pressing portion 7 provided on the support 3 is not particularly limited, but the front edge 3 C and / or the rear edge 3 D, which are portions extending in the longitudinal direction (first direction) of the support 3 Is preferably provided. When the drug solution container 2 is removed from the support 3, it is necessary to hold the support 3 with one hand and press the pressing portion 7 with a finger, but in the longitudinal direction (first direction) of the support 3. When the pressing portion 7 is provided in the extended portion, the support 3 is gripped by hand and the pressing operation of the pressing portion 7 can be easily performed with a finger.

また、押圧部7は支持体3に少なくとも1つ設けられていればよいが、一対の押圧部7が対向するようにして支持体3に設けられていることが好ましい。押圧部7は、押圧による内方への移動が誘発部8を介して薬液容器2を上方に押し上げるように構成されているが、薬液容器2を一対の押圧部7により挟むことで、薬液容器2を真っ直ぐ上方に押し上げることができる。よって、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合を良好に外すことができる。本実施形態では、一対の押圧部7が、支持体3の側面部31の前側縁部3C及び後側縁部3Dの長さ方向の中央位置に、それぞれ配置されている。   Further, at least one pressing portion 7 may be provided on the support 3, but it is preferable that the pressing portion 7 be provided on the support 3 such that the pair of pressing portions 7 face each other. The pressing unit 7 is configured such that the inward movement by pressing pushes the drug solution container 2 upward through the inducing unit 8, but by pinching the drug solution container 2 by the pair of pressing units 7, the drug solution container 2 can be pushed straight up. Therefore, the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 can be removed well. In the present embodiment, the pair of pressing portions 7 are respectively disposed at central positions in the longitudinal direction of the front edge 3C and the rear edge 3D of the side surface portion 31 of the support 3.

一方、誘発部8は、図4、図5及び図7に示すように、本実施形態では、薬液収納部20の上面に設けられており、押圧部7の傾動により、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動する摺動面80により構成されている。なお、「摺動」とは、接触して滑りながら動くことをいう。薬液収納部20の上面には、周縁近傍から中央付近に向けて緩やかな山形に盛り上がった隆起部23が設けられており、隆起部23の一部を切り欠くようにして摺動面80が形成されている。また、隆起部23の略中央位置に排出口21が設けられている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7, in the present embodiment, the inducing portion 8 is provided on the upper surface of the drug solution storage portion 20, and the upper end portion of the pressing portion 7 is tilted by tilting of the pressing portion 7. A sliding surface 80 slides on the sliding surface 72. In addition, "sliding" means moving in contact and sliding. On the upper surface of the drug solution storage unit 20, a raised portion 23 is formed which is gently raised in the shape of a mountain from the vicinity of the peripheral edge toward the vicinity of the center, and a sliding surface 80 is formed as a part of the raised portion 23 is cut out. It is done. Further, the discharge port 21 is provided at a substantially central position of the protruding portion 23.

誘発部8(摺動面80)は、薬液容器2の支持体3との装着時に押圧部7と対応するように、薬液容器2に設けられている。本実施形態では、薬液容器2の長手方向(第1の方向)に延びる部分である前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dにそれぞれ設けられており、前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dの長さ方向の中央位置に、排出口21を挟んで対向配置されている。   The inducing portion 8 (sliding surface 80) is provided in the drug solution container 2 so as to correspond to the pressing unit 7 when the drug solution container 2 is attached to the support 3. In this embodiment, the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D, which are portions extending in the longitudinal direction (first direction) of the drug solution container 2, are respectively provided, and the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D At the central position in the length direction, the discharge port 21 is disposed opposite to the other.

また、本実施形態では、隆起部23の一部を凹状に切り欠くことで形成される凹部24が、薬液容器2の前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dの長さ方向の中央位置にそれぞれ設けられている。凹部24の前側縁部2C又は後側縁部2D側(手前側)の端縁は開口しており、この開口から内方に移動する押圧部7を凹部24内に受け入れ可能である。また、凹部24は、押圧部7の移動方向に沿って延びる底壁面を備えており、本実施形態では、この底壁面が摺動面80を構成している。摺動面80の左右側の端縁には凹部24の側壁面25が連設されており、摺動面80の排出口21側(奥側)の端縁には凹部24の奥壁面26が連設されている。摺動面80(凹部26の底壁面)の横幅は、押圧部7を受け入れられるように、押圧部7の横幅よりも若干大きく設定されている。摺動面80が凹部24内に設けられていることで、凹部24の両側壁面25にガイドされながら、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する。よって、押圧部7を摺動面80が延びる方向に沿って真っ直ぐ移動させることができるので、薬液容器2を支持体3に対して真っ直ぐ上方に移動させることができる。その結果、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合を良好に外すことができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the concave portion 24 formed by cutting out a part of the protruding portion 23 in a concave shape is respectively provided at the center position in the longitudinal direction of the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D of the drug solution container 2 It is provided. The edge on the front edge 2C or the rear edge 2D side (front side) of the recess 24 is open, and the pressing portion 7 moving inward from the opening can be received in the recess 24. In addition, the concave portion 24 includes a bottom wall surface extending in the movement direction of the pressing portion 7, and in the present embodiment, the bottom wall surface constitutes the sliding surface 80. The side wall surface 25 of the recess 24 is continuously provided at the left and right end edges of the sliding surface 80, and the back wall surface 26 of the recess 24 is at the end edge of the discharge port 21 side (rear side) of the sliding surface 80. It is arranged in a row. The lateral width of the sliding surface 80 (the bottom wall surface of the recess 26) is set to be slightly larger than the lateral width of the pressing portion 7 so that the pressing portion 7 can be received. Since the sliding surface 80 is provided in the recess 24, the upper end portion 72 of the pressing unit 7 slides on the sliding surface 80 while being guided by the both side wall surfaces 25 of the recess 24. Therefore, since the pressing portion 7 can be moved straight along the direction in which the sliding surface 80 extends, the drug solution container 2 can be moved straight up with respect to the support 3. As a result, the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 can be removed well.

摺動面80は、本実施形態では、内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて高く(使用時の薬液容器2を表す図4では低く)傾斜する、つまりは、薬液収納部20の上面からの高さが高くなる傾斜面に形成されている。上述したように、本実施形態では、押圧部7の上端部72が内方に向けて円弧を描くようにして斜め下方に移動する。よって、摺動面80を、押圧部7の上端部72の移動方向と同じ方向に傾斜する傾斜面とすることで、押圧部7の上端部72は摺動面80と接触しながら摺動面80に沿って移動し続ける。これにより、摺動面80には押圧部7より押圧力が作用し、この摺動面80に作用する押圧力は、摺動面80が斜め下方に傾斜していることで薬液容器2を上方に押し上げる力となるので、薬液容器2の上方への移動を誘発可能となっている。   In the present embodiment, the sliding surface 80 inclines higher (lower in FIG. 4 showing the chemical solution container 2 in use) toward the inner side (the discharge port 21 side), that is, the upper surface of the chemical solution storage portion 20 It is formed in the inclined surface where the height from becomes high. As described above, in the present embodiment, the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 moves obliquely downward so as to draw a circular arc inward. Therefore, by making the sliding surface 80 an inclined surface inclined in the same direction as the moving direction of the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7, the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 contacts the sliding surface 80 while sliding Continue moving along the 80s. Thereby, a pressing force acts on the sliding surface 80 from the pressing portion 7, and the pressing force acting on the sliding surface 80 is such that the chemical solution container 2 is upward by the sliding surface 80 being inclined obliquely downward. The upward movement of the drug solution container 2 can be induced.

なお、摺動面80は、断面視で直線状に傾斜する平坦面であってもよいし、断面視で曲線状に傾斜する湾曲面であっても構わないが、湾曲面で構成されているのが好ましい。上述したように、押圧部7の上端部72は円弧を描くように移動するので、摺動面80が湾曲面であると押圧部7の上端部72の移動方向に沿うので、押圧部7の上端部72をスムーズに摺動させることができる。   The sliding surface 80 may be a flat surface inclined linearly in a cross sectional view, or may be a curved surface inclined in a curved shape in a cross sectional view, but the sliding surface 80 is configured by a curved surface. Is preferred. As described above, since the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 moves in a circular arc, if the sliding surface 80 is a curved surface, it follows the moving direction of the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7. The upper end portion 72 can slide smoothly.

また、摺動面80は、傾斜度合いが異なる複数の傾斜面を連続して設けることで形成されていることが好ましく、例えば、摺動面80を内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて傾斜度合いが急となるように形成すれば、以下の理由で好ましい。   The sliding surface 80 is preferably formed by continuously providing a plurality of inclined surfaces having different degrees of inclination. For example, the sliding surface 80 is moved inward (toward the discharge port 21). It is preferable for the following reason if it is formed so as to make the inclination degree steep.

つまり、内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて傾斜度合いが急となるように摺動面80を形成すると、押圧部7の内方への移動により押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する当初の段階では、摺動面80の傾斜度合いが緩やかであるため、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴う摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させる移動量が小さい。一方、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動するにしたがって、摺動面80の傾斜の度合いが急になるため、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴う摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させる移動量が大きくなる。   That is, when the sliding surface 80 is formed so that the degree of inclination becomes steeper toward the inner side (the discharge port 21 side), the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides by the inward movement of the pressing portion 7 In the initial stage of sliding on the surface 80, since the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 is gentle, the chemical solution container 2 is moved upward via the sliding surface 80 accompanying the inward movement of the pressing portion 7. The amount of movement is small. On the other hand, since the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 becomes steeper as the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80, the sliding surface 80 accompanying the inward movement of the pressing portion 7 The moving amount of moving the drug solution container 2 upward is increased.

ここで、薬液容器2が支持体3に装着されている状態では、排出口21内に接続部材43が嵌合していることにより、薬液容器2は支持体3に固定されていて取り外し難くなっている。そのため、使用者は、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外そうとする際に、支持体3の押圧部7を強く(勢いよく)押圧するおそれがある。この場合に、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する当初の段階において摺動面80の傾斜度合いが急であると、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させる移動量が大きくなる。その結果、薬液容器2がいきなり大きく上方に移動することで支持体3との嵌合が解除され、使用者の意に反して薬液容器2が支持体3から勢いよく外れてしまうおそれがある。   Here, in the state where the drug solution container 2 is mounted on the support 3, the connection member 43 is fitted in the discharge port 21, whereby the drug solution container 2 is fixed to the support 3 and becomes difficult to remove. ing. Therefore, when the user tries to remove the drug solution container 2 from the support 3, the user may press the pressing portion 7 of the support 3 strongly (momentarily). In this case, if the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 is sharp at the initial stage when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80, the sliding occurs along with the inward movement of the pressing portion 7. The moving amount for moving the drug solution container 2 upward through the surface 80 is increased. As a result, when the drug solution container 2 suddenly moves up largely, the fitting with the support 3 is released, and there is a possibility that the drug solution container 2 is vigorously detached from the support 3 against the user's intention.

一方で、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する当初の段階において、摺動面80の傾斜度合いが緩やかであると、使用者が薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外そうとする際に、支持体3の押圧部7を強く(勢いよく)押圧しても、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴う摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させる移動量が小さいために、薬液容器2はさほど上方に移動しない。よって、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合がいきなり解除されて、薬液容器2が支持体3から勢いよく外れてしまうことを防止できる。そして、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動するにしたがい、摺動面80の傾斜の度合いが急になるので、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴う摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させる移動量が大きくなる。これにより、薬液容器2が大きく上方に移動して支持体3との嵌合が解除され、薬液容器2を支持体3から容易に取り外すことが可能になる。   On the other hand, at the initial stage where the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80, the user removes the drug solution container 2 from the support 3 if the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 is gentle. In doing so, even if the pressing portion 7 of the support 3 is pressed strongly (momentarily), the drug solution container 2 is moved upward via the sliding surface 80 accompanying the inward movement of the pressing portion 7 Because the amount of movement is small, the drug solution container 2 does not move so much upward. Therefore, the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is suddenly released, and it is possible to prevent the drug solution container 2 from being vigorously detached from the support 3. Then, as the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80, the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 becomes sharp, so the sliding surface 80 accompanying the inward movement of the pressing portion 7 The moving amount of moving the drug solution container 2 upward is increased. As a result, the drug solution container 2 is largely moved upward and the fitting with the support 3 is released, and the drug solution container 2 can be easily removed from the support 3.

なお、傾斜度合いとは、水平方向の変化に対する上下方向の変位量(水平面からの距離)のことをいい、傾斜面が平坦面であれば、平坦面の水平面に対する傾斜角度を指し、傾斜面が湾曲面であれば、湾曲面の曲がり具合いつまりは曲率半径を指す。摺動面80を内側に向かうに連れて傾斜の度合いが急となるように形成する場合には、平坦面同士の組み合せの場合には、内側に向かうに連れて傾斜角度が急な平坦面を順次並べる。また、湾曲面同士の組み合せの場合には、内側に向かうに連れて曲率半径が小さい湾曲面を順次並べる。また、平坦面と湾曲面との組み合せの場合、平坦面、湾曲面の順番に並べる場合には、平坦面の傾斜角度を、湾曲面の平坦面との連結部分における接線の傾斜角度以下とし、湾曲面、平坦面の順番に並べる場合には、平坦面の傾斜角度を、湾曲面の平坦面との連結部分における接線の傾斜角度以上とする。   The degree of inclination refers to the amount of vertical displacement (the distance from the horizontal surface) with respect to changes in the horizontal direction, and if the inclined surface is a flat surface, it refers to the inclination angle of the flat surface to the horizontal surface. In the case of a curved surface, it indicates the bending of the curved surface, that is, the radius of curvature. In the case where the sliding surface 80 is formed so as to have a steeper degree of inclination as it goes inward, in the case of a combination of flat surfaces, a flat surface having a steep inclination angle as it goes inward. Arrange in order. Moreover, in the case of the combination of curved surfaces, the curved surfaces with a small radius of curvature are arranged in order as it goes inward. In the case of a combination of a flat surface and a curved surface, in the case where the flat surface and the curved surface are arranged in order, the inclination angle of the flat surface is made equal to or less than the inclination angle of the tangent at the connecting portion with the flat surface of the curved surface. When arranging in order of a curved surface and a flat surface, the inclination angle of a flat surface is made more than the inclination angle of the tangent in a connection part with the flat surface of a curved surface.

また、摺動面80は、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端(本実施形態では奥壁面26との境目)まで摺動した際に、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合(本実施形態では、排出口21と接続部材43との嵌合)が外れる状態まで薬液容器2が上方に移動するように、傾斜度合いが設定されていることが好ましい。これにより、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端の凹部24の奥壁面26に突き当たった際に、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れて薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外し可能であることを確認できる。また、これ以上、押圧部7を押圧しても、押圧部7の上端部72が凹部24の奥壁面26に突き当たって内方に摺動しないために、薬液容器2がさらに上方に移動することが規制される。よって、使用者の意に反して薬液容器2が支持体3から勢いよく外れてしまうことを防止できる。   In the sliding surface 80, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides to the end of the sliding surface 80 (in the present embodiment, the boundary with the back wall surface 26), the chemical container 2 and the support 3 It is preferable that the degree of inclination be set so that the drug solution container 2 moves upward until the fitting (in the present embodiment, the fitting between the discharge port 21 and the connection member 43) is released. Thereby, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 abuts against the back wall surface 26 of the concave portion 24 at the end of the sliding surface 80, the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is released and the drug solution container 2 is a support It can confirm that it is removable from 3. In addition, the chemical solution container 2 is further moved upward because the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 abuts against the back wall surface 26 of the recess 24 and does not slide inward even if the pressing portion 7 is pressed any more. Is regulated. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution container 2 from being vigorously detached from the support 3 against the user's will.

ここで、本実施形態のように、排出口21と接続部材43とが嵌合している状態において、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れる状態とは、図24を参照して、薬液容器2の上方への移動に伴いキャップ22の内側壁部27Aが上方に移動して、少なくとも接続部材43の基端部43Bよりも上方に位置して基端部43Bの外周面と当接しなくなる状態をいう。このとき、内側壁部27の係合突部27Dについては接続部材43の先端部43Aの外周面と当接している状態であっても当接していない状態であってもよく、また、係合突部27Dの一部が先端部43Aの外周面と当接している状態であってもよい。少なくとも接続部材43の基端部43Bとキャップ22の内側壁部27Aとの嵌合が外れて両者が接触しなくなれば、薬液容器2を単に掴んで持ち上げるだけで、ほとんど力をかけることなく支持体3から薬液容器2を取り外すことができる。よって、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合状態が、本実施形態のような嵌合状態(接続部材43の基端部43Bとキャップ22の内側壁部27Aとの接触、及び、接続部材43の先端部43Aとキャップ22の係合突部27Dとの接触の上下2箇所での接触による嵌合状態)と異なる場合には、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れる状態とは、薬液容器2を単に掴んで持ち上げるだけで、ほとんど力をかけることなく支持体3から薬液容器2を取り外すことができる状態をいう。   Here, in the state where the discharge port 21 and the connection member 43 are fitted as in the present embodiment, the state where the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is released is referred to FIG. 24. The inner side wall 27A of the cap 22 moves upward along with the upward movement of the drug solution container 2, and is positioned above at least the proximal end 43B of the connection member 43 to contact the outer peripheral surface of the proximal end 43B. It says the state where it doesn't touch. At this time, the engagement projection 27D of the inner side wall portion 27 may or may not be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion 43A of the connection member 43. A portion of the projection 27D may be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tip 43A. If the fitting between at least the proximal end 43B of the connection member 43 and the inner side wall 27A of the cap 22 is disengaged and both are not in contact with each other, the drug container 2 is simply grasped and lifted. The drug solution container 2 can be removed from 3. Therefore, the fitting state between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is the fitting state as in the present embodiment (a contact between the base end 43B of the connection member 43 and the inner side wall 27A of the cap 22, a connection member In the case where it is different from the fitting state due to the contact at the upper and lower two places of the contact of the tip portion 43A of 43 and the engaging projection 27D of the cap 22), the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is released Is a state in which the drug solution container 2 can be removed from the support 3 with almost no force by merely grasping and lifting the drug solution container 2.

なお、摺動面80は、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端(本実施形態では奥壁面26との境目)まで達する前に、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合(本実施形態では、排出口21と接続部材43との嵌合)が外れる状態まで薬液容器2が上方に移動するように、傾斜度合いが設定されていてもよい。この場合には、摺動面80は、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れた後でも押圧部7の上端部72が摺動できる長さに設定される。この場合には、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端の凹部24の奥壁面26に突き当たった際には、薬液容器2が支持体3から少し浮かび上がるので、何らの力も要らずに薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外すことができる。なお、この場合には、薬液容器2が支持体3から勢いよく外れてしまうことがないように摺動面80の傾斜度合いを設定するのが好ましい。   The sliding surface 80 is a fit between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 before the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 reaches the end of the sliding surface 80 (the boundary with the back wall surface 26 in this embodiment). (In the present embodiment, the degree of inclination may be set so that the drug solution container 2 moves upward until the fitting of the discharge port 21 and the connection member 43 is released. In this case, the sliding surface 80 is set to such a length that the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 can slide even after the fitting between the chemical solution container 2 and the support 3 is released. In this case, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 abuts against the back wall surface 26 of the concave portion 24 at the end of the sliding surface 80, the chemical solution container 2 slightly floats from the support 3, so any force is required. The drug solution container 2 can be removed from the support 3 without. In this case, it is preferable to set the degree of inclination of the sliding surface 80 so that the drug solution container 2 does not come off the support 3 vigorously.

上記構成の薬液供給装置1によると、支持体3の接続部材43を薬液容器2の排出口21にキャップ22を貫通して嵌合させることにより、薬液容器2が支持体3に固定される。そして、水洗トイレの貯水タンク上部の給水受皿の排水口に支持体3の案内部材5及び長脚部32が挿入されることで、薬液容器2内の薬液は、接続部材43から排出部材44を通って案内部材5に排出され、案内部材5上の薬液がフラッシュ時に給水受皿に供給される水に洗い流されることで、排水口から貯水タンクに流れ込む。   According to the chemical solution supply device 1 configured as described above, the chemical solution container 2 is fixed to the support 3 by fitting the connection member 43 of the support 3 to the discharge port 21 of the chemical solution container 2 through the cap 22. Then, the guide member 5 and the long leg 32 of the support 3 are inserted into the drainage port of the water supply tray at the upper portion of the water storage tank of the flush toilet, whereby the chemical solution in the chemical solution container 2 The chemical solution on the guide member 5 is drained to the guide member 5, and the chemical solution on the guide member 5 is washed away by the water supplied to the water supply tray at the time of flushing, thereby flowing from the drainage port to the water storage tank.

使用に伴い薬液容器2内の薬液が全て排出されると、空の薬液容器2を新たな薬液容器2に取り替えることで、継続しての使用が可能になる。この場合、支持体3から薬液容器2を取り外す必要があるが、上記構成の薬液供給装置1では、支持体3及び薬液容器2にそれぞれ押圧部7及び誘発部8(摺動面80)が設けられており、押圧部7の内方への移動が誘発部8を介して薬液容器2を上方に移動させるように構成されているので、押圧部7を内側に向けて単に押圧するだけで、薬液容器2が上方へ移動して支持体3との嵌合が自動的に外れる。よって、薬液容器2を支持体3から容易に取り外すことができ、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外す際に薬液容器2を支持体3から強く引き離すなどの必要がないので、薬液容器2内の残存する薬液が排出口21から飛び散るおそれがなく、使用者の服などに付着するおそれがない。加えて、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外す際には、薬液供給装置1を給水受皿上に設置したままで、一方の手で支持体3の押圧部7を押圧し、他方の手で薬液容器2を掴んで持ち上げることで、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外せる。よって、支持体3の案内部材5に手が触れることがないので、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外した際に薬液が手に付着して薬液で汚れるおそれもなく、使用者が不快に感じるおそれがない。   When all the drug solution in the drug solution container 2 is discharged with use, the empty drug solution container 2 can be replaced with a new drug solution container 2 to enable continuous use. In this case, it is necessary to remove the drug solution container 2 from the support 3. However, in the drug solution supply device 1 configured as described above, the support 3 and the drug solution container 2 are provided with the pressing portion 7 and the inducing portion 8 (sliding surface 80). Since the inward movement of the pressing unit 7 is configured to move the drug solution container 2 upward via the inducing unit 8, simply pressing the pressing unit 7 inward simply The drug solution container 2 moves upward and the fitting with the support 3 is automatically released. Therefore, the drug solution container 2 can be easily removed from the support 3, and there is no need to strongly pull the drug solution container 2 away from the support 3 when removing the drug solution container 2 from the support 3. There is no risk of the remaining chemical solution splattering from the discharge port 21, and there is no risk of adhering to the clothes or the like of the user. In addition, when the drug solution container 2 is removed from the support 3, while the drug solution supply device 1 is installed on the water supply tray, the pressing portion 7 of the support 3 is pressed with one hand, and the drug solution with the other hand. The drug solution container 2 can be removed from the support 3 by grasping and lifting the container 2. Therefore, since the hand does not touch the guide member 5 of the support 3, when the drug solution container 2 is removed from the support 3, there is no possibility that the drug solution adheres to the hand and becomes dirty with the drug solution, and the user feels uncomfortable. There is no fear.

また、薬液容器2及び支持体3に、一対の押圧部7及び誘発部8(摺動面80)が対向するように設けられているので、薬液容器2を一対の押圧部7により挟むことで、誘発部8を介して薬液容器2を真っ直ぐ上方に押し上げて移動させることができるので、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合を良好に外すことができる。   Further, since the pair of pressing part 7 and the inducing part 8 (sliding surface 80) are provided opposite to each other on the drug solution container 2 and the support 3, the drug solution container 2 is sandwiched by the pair of pressing parts 7 Since the drug solution container 2 can be pushed up straight and moved through the inducing portion 8, the fit between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 can be removed well.

また、一対の押圧部7及び誘発部8(摺動面80)が、薬液容器2及び支持体3の長手方向(第1の方向)に延びる部分である前側縁部2C,3C及び後側縁部2D,3Dに設けられているので、薬液容器2を支持体3から取り外す際に、支持体3を片方の手で掴みやすく、よって、押圧部7の押圧操作をし易くすることができる。   Further, the front side edge portions 2C and 3C and the rear side edge which are portions in which the pair of pressing portions 7 and the inducing portions 8 (sliding surface 80) extend in the longitudinal direction (first direction) of the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 Since it is provided in the portions 2D and 3D, when the drug solution container 2 is removed from the support 3, the support 3 can be easily grasped with one hand, and thus the pressing operation of the pressing portion 7 can be facilitated.

また、誘発部8(摺動面80)が凹部26内に設けられており、押圧部7の上端部72は凹部26の両側壁面25にガイドされながら摺動面80を摺動するので、押圧部7を摺動面80が延びる方向に真っ直ぐ移動させることができる。よって、薬液容器2を支持体3に対して真っ直ぐ上方に移動させることができるので、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合を良好に外すことができる。   Further, since the inducing portion 8 (sliding surface 80) is provided in the recess 26 and the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80 while being guided by the both side wall surfaces 25 of the recess 26 The portion 7 can be moved straight in the direction in which the sliding surface 80 extends. Therefore, since the chemical | medical solution container 2 can be moved straight upward with respect to the support body 3, the fitting with the chemical | medical solution container 2 and the support body 3 can be removed favorably.

以上、本発明の一実施形態について詳述したが、本発明の具体的な態様は上記した実施形態に限定されない。例えば、上記実施形態では、誘発部8を構成する摺動面80が、内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて高く(使用時の薬液容器2を表す図4では低く)傾斜する傾斜面に形成されているが、内側(排出口21側)に向けて傾斜せずに水平に延びる平坦な水平面に形成されていてもよい。なお、この場合には、図25に示すように、押圧部7は、上端部72が基端部71よりも大きく外側に位置するように斜めに傾斜した状態で支持体3に設けるようにする。これにより、押圧部7の内側への傾動により、押圧部7の上端部72は円弧を描くようにして斜め上方に移動する。よって、摺動面80が水平面であると、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する際に、摺動面80は押圧部7により上方に押し上げられる。これにより、薬液容器2が上方に移動するので、摺動面80は押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い薬液容器2の上方への移動を誘発可能となっている。なお、押圧部7が支持体3に外側に倒れるように斜めに傾斜した状態で設けられる場合には、摺動面80は水平面に限らず、内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて低く(使用時の薬液容器2を表す図4では高く)傾斜する傾斜面に形成されていてもよい。この場合においても、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80を摺動する際に、摺動面80は押圧部7により上方に押し上げられる。よって、薬液容器2が上方に移動するので、摺動面80は押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い薬液容器2の上方への移動を誘発可能となっている。   As mentioned above, although one embodiment of the present invention was explained in full detail, a concrete mode of the present invention is not limited to an above-mentioned embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the sliding surface 80 constituting the inducing portion 8 is inclined to be higher (lower in FIG. 4 showing the chemical solution container 2 in use) toward the inside (the outlet 21 side). However, it may be formed in a flat horizontal surface extending horizontally without being inclined toward the inside (the outlet 21 side). In this case, as shown in FIG. 25, the pressing portion 7 is provided on the support 3 in a state of being obliquely inclined so that the upper end portion 72 is positioned on the outer side larger than the base end portion 71. . Thus, the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 moves obliquely upward in a circular arc by tilting the pressing portion 7 inward. Therefore, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80 along with the inward movement of the pressing portion 7 if the sliding surface 80 is a horizontal surface, the sliding surface 80 is the pressing portion 7. Is pushed upward by Thereby, since the drug solution container 2 moves upward, the sliding surface 80 can induce the upward movement of the drug solution container 2 as the pressing portion 7 moves inward. In the case where the pressing portion 7 is provided in an inclined state so as to fall to the outside on the support 3, the sliding surface 80 is not limited to the horizontal surface, and decreases toward the inside (the discharge port 21 side). It may be formed in the inclined surface which inclines (it is high in FIG. 4 showing the chemical | medical solution container 2 at the time of use). Also in this case, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides on the sliding surface 80 along with the inward movement of the pressing portion 7, the sliding surface 80 is pushed up by the pressing portion 7. Therefore, since the chemical solution container 2 moves upward, the sliding surface 80 can induce the upward movement of the chemical solution container 2 along with the inward movement of the pressing portion 7.

また、上記実施形態では、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の上面の隆起部23に凹部24が設けられ、誘発部8を構成する摺動面80が凹部24の底壁面により構成されているが、図26〜図29に示すように、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の隆起部23に凹部24を設けることなく隆起部23の一部を例えば斜めに切り欠くことで、切り欠かれた隆起部23の表面を摺動面80としてもよい。この実施形態では、摺動面80が排出口21の近傍まで延びている。摺動面80としては、上記実施形態と同様に、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端である排出口21の付け根位置まで摺動した際に、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合(排出口21と接続部材43との嵌合)が外れる状態まで薬液容器2が上方に移動するように、傾斜度合いが設定されていてもよいし、押圧部7の上端部72が摺動面80の終端である排出口21の付け根位置まで達する前に、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合(排出口21と接続部材43との嵌合)が外れる状態まで薬液容器2が上方に移動するように、傾斜度合いが設定されていてもよい。前者の場合には、摺動面80は、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れる状態となるまで押圧部7の上端部72が摺動できる長さに設定される。後者の場合には、摺動面80は、薬液容器2と支持体3との嵌合が外れた後でも押圧部7の上端部72が摺動できる長さに設定される。なお、この実施形態における摺動面80の薬液容器2に設けられる位置や数などは、上記実施形態と同様にすることができる。また、図26〜図29に示す薬液容器2のその他の構成は、図5〜図8に示す上記実施形態の薬液容器2の構成と同様であり、ここでは対応する構成に同一の符号を付することで詳細な説明を省略する。   Further, in the above embodiment, the recessed portion 24 is provided in the raised portion 23 of the upper surface of the drug solution container 2 (the drug solution storage portion 20), and the sliding surface 80 constituting the inducing portion 8 is configured by the bottom wall surface of the recessed portion 24. However, as shown in FIG. 26 to FIG. 29, it is notched by notching a part of the protrusion 23 obliquely, for example, without providing the recess 24 in the protrusion 23 of the drug solution container 2 (drug solution storage unit 20). The surface of the raised portion 23 may be a sliding surface 80. In this embodiment, the sliding surface 80 extends to the vicinity of the outlet 21. As the sliding surface 80, when the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 slides to the root position of the discharge port 21 which is the end of the sliding surface 80 as in the above embodiment, the chemical solution container 2 and the support 3 The degree of inclination may be set so that the drug solution container 2 moves upward until the fitting with the connector (the fitting between the discharge port 21 and the connecting member 43) is released, or the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 Before the liquid crystal container 2 and the support 3 are disengaged (the connection between the discharge port 21 and the connection member 43) before the liquid reaches the root position of the discharge port 21 which is the end of the sliding surface 80 The degree of inclination may be set such that 2 moves upward. In the former case, the sliding surface 80 is set to such a length that the upper end portion 72 of the pressing unit 7 can slide until the liquid chemical container 2 and the support 3 are disengaged. In the latter case, the sliding surface 80 is set to such a length that the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 can slide even after the fitting between the drug solution container 2 and the support 3 is released. In addition, the position, the number, etc. provided in the chemical | medical solution container 2 of the sliding face 80 in this embodiment can be made to be the same as that of the said embodiment. Further, the other configurations of the drug solution container 2 shown in FIGS. 26 to 29 are the same as the configurations of the drug solution container 2 of the above-described embodiment shown in FIGS. A detailed explanation is omitted by doing.

また、上記実施形態では、誘発部8を構成する摺動面80は、凹部24の底壁面や隆起部23の切り欠かれた表面など、面状に広がりを有しているが、図30〜図32に示すように、例えば、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の上面に、押圧部7の移動方向に沿って延びる(図32では、前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dから排出口21に向かって延びる)リブ81を少なくとも1つ設け、リブ81の表面を摺動面80としてもよい。この実施形態では、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い、押圧部7の上端部72がリブ81の表面の摺動面80と接触するように、リブ81の高さが設定される。なお、リブ81としては、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の上面に、横幅の広いものが1つ設けられていてもよいし、横幅の狭いものが間隔をあけて複数並列して設けられていてもよい。また、リブ81は、押圧部7が内側に傾動する際の上端部72の移動方向に応じて、表面(摺動面80)が内側(排出口21側)に向かうに連れて高く又は低く傾斜する傾斜面に形成されていてもよいし、内側(排出口21側)に向けて傾斜せずに水平に延びる平坦な水平面に形成されていてもよい。また、図30〜図32では、薬液容器2の前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dの長さ方向の中央位置にそれぞれ設けられた凹部24内にリブ81が設けられているが、凹部24は必ずしも設ける必要はない。   Further, in the above embodiment, the sliding surface 80 constituting the inducing portion 8 spreads in a planar manner, such as the bottom wall surface of the recess 24 or the surface of the notched portion of the protruding portion 23. As shown in FIG. 32, for example, the top surface of the chemical solution container 2 (chemical solution storage unit 20) extends along the moving direction of the pressing unit 7 (in FIG. 32, the discharge port from the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D) At least one rib 81 extending toward 21 may be provided, and the surface of the rib 81 may be a sliding surface 80. In this embodiment, the height of the rib 81 is set such that the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 contacts the sliding surface 80 of the surface of the rib 81 as the pressing portion 7 moves inward. As the ribs 81, one having a wide width may be provided on the upper surface of the drug solution container 2 (the drug solution storage portion 20), or a plurality of ribs having a narrow width may be provided in parallel at intervals. It may be In addition, the rib 81 has a surface (sliding surface 80) inclined higher or lower toward the inside (the discharge port 21 side) according to the moving direction of the upper end portion 72 when the pressing portion 7 tilts inward. It may be formed in the inclined surface which does not incline, and may be formed in the flat horizontal surface which extends horizontally without inclining toward the inner side (the discharge port 21 side). Further, in FIG. 30 to FIG. 32, although the rib 81 is provided in the recess 24 provided at the center position in the longitudinal direction of the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D of the chemical liquid container 2, Is not necessary.

また、上記実施形態では、誘発部8が摺動面80により構成されているが、図33〜図35に示すように、誘発部8を突起82より構成することができる。突起82は、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の上面において、押圧部7の移動方向に位置しており、押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い、押圧部7の上端部72が突起82に突き当たるように、その設置場所及び高さが設定されている。この実施形態では、押圧部7の上端部72が突起82に突き当たって接触した状態で、押圧部7がさらに内方へ移動すると、押圧部7は突起82を乗り越える。そのため、突起82には押圧部7より上向きの押圧力が作用する。これにより、薬液容器2が上方に押し上げられるので、突起82は押圧部7の内方への移動に伴い薬液容器2の上方への移動を誘発可能となっている。なお、突起82としては、薬液容器2(薬液収納部20)の上面に、外形が大きいものが1つ設けられていてもよいし、外形が小さいものが間隔をあけて複数並列して設けられていてもよい。また、図33〜図35では、薬液容器2の前側縁部2C及び後側縁部2Dの長さ方向の中央位置にそれぞれ設けられた凹部24内に突起82が設けられているが、凹部24は必ずしも設ける必要はない。   Moreover, although the induction | guidance | derivation part 8 is comprised by the sliding face 80 in the said embodiment, as shown to FIGS. 33-35, the induction | guidance | derivation part 8 can be comprised from the protrusion 82. As shown in FIG. The projection 82 is located in the moving direction of the pressing unit 7 on the upper surface of the drug solution container 2 (the drug solution storage unit 20), and the upper end portion 72 of the pressing unit 7 is protruded as the pressing unit 7 moves inward. The installation location and height are set so as to hit 82. In this embodiment, when the pressing portion 7 moves further inward with the upper end portion 72 of the pressing portion 7 abutted against and in contact with the protrusion 82, the pressing portion 7 rides over the protrusion 82. Therefore, a pressing force upward from the pressing portion 7 acts on the protrusion 82. Thereby, since the drug solution container 2 is pushed upward, the protrusion 82 can induce the upward movement of the drug solution container 2 as the pressing portion 7 moves inward. As the protrusion 82, one having a large outer diameter may be provided on the upper surface of the drug solution container 2 (the drug solution storage portion 20), or a plurality of small protrusions may be provided in parallel at intervals. It may be Further, in FIG. 33 to FIG. 35, the projection 82 is provided in the recess 24 provided at the center position in the longitudinal direction of the front edge 2C and the rear edge 2D of the chemical liquid container 2. Is not necessary.

また、上記実施形態では、押圧部7は、支持体3の側面部31に切欠き70(又は切込み)を設けることで側面部31に一体に設けられているが、図36に示すように、側面部31に切欠き70などを設けることなく、押圧部7を設ける位置の側面部31の高さを低くし、当該側面部31の上端部に板状の押圧部7を設けるようにしてもよい。また、押圧部7は、支持体3の側面部31に対して内外にスライド移動可能に設けられた移動体であってもよく、押圧部7の内方へのスライド移動により押圧部7の先端部が、例えば傾斜状態の摺動面80と接触し、摺動面80と接触した状態でさらに内方へ移動することに伴い摺動面80を介して薬液容器2を上方に押し上げるように構成されていてもよい。その他にも、押圧により少なくとも一部分が内方に移動して誘発部8と接触し、誘発部8と接触した状態でさらに内方へ移動することに伴い誘発部8を介して薬液容器2を上方に押し上げるように構成されていれば、押圧部7は種々の態様とすることができる。   Further, in the above embodiment, the pressing portion 7 is integrally provided on the side surface portion 31 by providing the notch 70 (or a notch) on the side surface portion 31 of the support 3, but as shown in FIG. Even if the height of the side portion 31 at the position where the pressing portion 7 is provided is lowered without providing the notch 70 or the like in the side portion 31, the plate-like pressing portion 7 is provided on the upper end portion of the side portion 31. Good. Further, the pressing portion 7 may be a movable body provided so as to be slidable in and out with respect to the side surface portion 31 of the support 3, and the tip of the pressing portion 7 is slid by inward sliding movement of the pressing portion 7. The part is in contact with, for example, the sliding surface 80 in the inclined state, and is configured to push the chemical solution container 2 upward through the sliding surface 80 as it moves further inward in the state in contact with the sliding surface 80 It may be done. In addition, at least a portion moves inward by pressing to come in contact with the inducing portion 8 and moves the chemical solution container 2 upward via the inducing portion 8 as it moves further inward in contact with the inducing portion 8 The pressing portion 7 can be configured in various ways as long as it is configured to push up.
