Description

本発明は、水栓装置に係り、特に、湯又は水を吐水する水栓装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a faucet device, and more particularly to a faucet device that discharges hot water or water.

従来から、湯又は水を吐水する水栓装置として、例えば、特許文献１に記載されているように、給水源から供給された水をシャワーヘッドから吐水するシャワー吐水と、給水源から供給された水をスパウトの吐水口から吐水するスパウト吐水とを切り替える切替弁を備えたものが知られている。
このような従来の水栓装置においては、切替弁がスパウト内に一体に設けられているため、スパウト内には切替弁の構造に応じた内部流路が形成されている。
そのため、例えば、シャワー吐水による吐水形態自体を必要としない、すなわち、切替弁が不要なスパウトを製造する場合には、スパウトの鋳物を複数形態用意するか、機械加工によって種々の形態のスパウトを成形して作り分けている。 Conventionally, as a faucet device that discharges hot water or water, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, shower water discharge that discharges water supplied from a water supply source from a shower head and water supply from a water supply source have been performed. It is known to have a switching valve for switching between spout water spouting and spouting water from the spout spout.
In such a conventional faucet device, since the switching valve is integrally provided in the spout, an internal flow path corresponding to the structure of the switching valve is formed in the spout.
Therefore, for example, in the case of manufacturing a spout that does not require the spouting form itself by shower spouting, that is, that does not require a switching valve, a plurality of spout castings are prepared or various forms of spouts are formed by machining. And make them separately.

しかしながら、スパウトの鋳物を複数形態用意すると、その分だけ鋳型も必要になるため、製造コストが高くなってしまうという課題がある。
また、機械加工によって種々の形態のスパウトを成形して作り分ける場合においても、スパウトの内部流路が複雑になる程、加工工程も増大し、その分だけ製造コストも高くなってしまうという課題もある。 However, if a plurality of spout castings are prepared, a mold is required for that amount, which causes a problem that the manufacturing cost increases.
In addition, even when various forms of spouts are molded and made separately by machining, there is a problem that the more complicated the internal flow path of the spouts, the more the processing process increases, and the manufacturing cost increases accordingly. is there.

そこで、本発明は、上述した従来の課題を解決するためになされてものであり、スパウトを共通化しつつ、種々の内部流路にも対応することができ、製造コストを抑制することができる水栓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-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to cope with various internal flow paths while standardizing the spout, and it is possible to suppress the production cost of water. It is intended to provide a plug device.

上述した課題を解決するために、本発明は、湯又は水を吐水する水栓装置であって、吐水口を含むスパウトと、このスパウトの上流側に接続されて、給湯源から供給される湯又は給水源から供給される水を通水させる流路を形成する通水部材と、上記スパウト又は上記通水部材の内部に別体で組み込まれて、上記通水部材の流路と上記スパウト内の流路とを連通する内部流路を形成する接続部材と、を有し、上記通水部材の流路は、上記給湯源及び上記給水源のそれぞれから供給される湯及び水を上記接続部材の内部流路に通水させる第１流路と、この第１流路から分岐する第２流路と、を備え、上記通水部材の流路には、上記第１流路又は上記第２流路のいずれか一方に切り替え可能な切替弁が設けられており、上記接続部材には、上記切替弁の切替操作が可能な切替操作部が設けられており、上記通水部材は、上記第２流路及び上記切替弁が設けられていない他の通水部材に変更可能であり、且つ、上記接続部材は、上記内部流路と異なる内部流路を形成すると共に上記切替操作部が設けられていない他の接続部材に変更可能であ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、接続部材がスパウト又は通水部材の内部に別体で組み込まれているため、スパウト自体の構造を変更することなく、別体の接続部材を変更するだけで、スパウトと通水部材との間の内部流路を容易に変更することができる。
したがって、接続部材とは別体であるスパウトについては共通化することができると共に、様々な内部流路を備えた水栓装置にも対応することができる。
よって、スパウトを成形する型等を最小限に留めることがでるため、水栓装置の製造コストを抑制することができる。
また、接続部材の切替操作部を操作し、切替弁が通水部材の流路を第２流路に切り替えることにより、給湯源から供給される湯又は給水源から供給される水を第２流路に分岐させることができる。
したがって、スパウトを共通化しつつ、第２流路の下流側で、スパウトの吐水口以外による吐水が可能な多様性のある吐水形態を実現することができる。
さらに、第２流路及び切替弁が設けられている通水部材を採用している水栓装置には、切替操作部が設けられた接続部材を採用することができる。
一方、第２流路及び切替弁が設けられていない他の通水部材を採用している水栓装置には、内部流路が異なり且つ切替操作部が設けられていない他の接続部材を採用することができる。
したがって、互いに内部流路が異なる接続部材の少なくとも２種類の接続部材により、スパウトを共通化させて、様々な吐水形態に対応することができる。
また、例えば、スパウトが鋳物製である場合には、鋳型を共通化し、スパウトに対しては、別部材の接続部材に応じた最小限の加工で済ませることができる。
したがって、安価な水栓装置を製造することができる。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a faucet device for spouting hot water or water, which is connected to a spout including a spout and hot water supplied from a hot water supply source on the upstream side of the spout. Alternatively, the water passage member forming a flow path for passing water supplied from the water supply source and the spout or the inside of the water passage member are separately incorporated, and the flow path of the water passage member and the inside of the spout are incorporated separately. It has a connecting member that forms an internal flow path that communicates with the flow path of the water flow member, and the flow path of the water flow member connects the hot water and water supplied from the hot water supply source and the water supply source, respectively. A first flow path for passing water through the internal flow path of the water flow member and a second flow path branching from the first flow path are provided, and the flow path of the water flow member includes the first flow path or the second flow path.

Therefore, the internal flow path between the spout and the water flow member can be easily changed.
Therefore, the spout, which is a separate body from the connecting member, can be shared, and a faucet device provided with various internal flow paths can also be supported.
Therefore, since the mold for forming the spout can be kept to a minimum, the manufacturing cost of the faucet device can be suppressed.
Further, by operating the switching operation unit of the connecting member and switching the flow path of the water flow member to the second flow path, the switching valve switches the hot water supplied from the hot water supply source or the water supplied from the water supply source to the second flow. It can be branched into a road.
Therefore, it is possible to realize a variety of spouting forms in which water can be spouted from a spout other than the spout spout on the downstream side of the second flow path while standardizing the spout.
Further, a connecting member provided with a switching operation unit can be adopted for a faucet device that employs a water passing member provided with a second flow path and a switching valve.
On the other hand, for the faucet device that employs a second flow path and another water flow member that is not provided with a switching valve, another connection member that has a different internal flow path and is not provided with a switching operation unit is adopted. can do.
Therefore, at least two types of connecting members having different internal flow paths can make the spout common and correspond to various water discharge forms.
Further, for example, when the spout is made of a casting, the mold can be shared, and the spout can be processed with the minimum amount according to the connecting member of another member.
Therefore, an inexpensive faucet device can be manufactured.

つぎに、図２〜図７に示すように、接続部材１２は、樹脂材料で概ね円筒状に形成された部材であり、スパウト２の内部に別体で組み込まれている。
一方、図２〜図６に示すように、スパウト２は、金属製の鋳型成形品であり、通水部材１０は、黄銅等で形成された金属製の部材である。すなわち、これらの金属製のスパウト２や通水部材１０は、樹脂製の接続部材１２よりも剛性が高い材料で形成されている。
また、図５及び図６に示すように、スパウト２内の上流側には、接続部材１２が下側からスパウト２内に挿入可能な挿入穴４０が形成されている。
さらに、図５〜図７に示すように、接続部材１２は、その下側のフランジ１２ｂの上面が段部４２に当接するまで挿入穴４０に挿入されると、スパウト２の下端から所定高さＨ１の位置に位置決めされるようになっている。
そして、図５に示すように、接続部材１２が下側から挿入穴４０に挿入された後に、通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）がスパウト２内の上流側端部（下端部）に接続された状態では、接続部材１２は、スパウト２内の通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）の上方の所定位置に保持されるようになっている。

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the spout 2 is a metal molded product, and the water passage member 10 is a metal member made of brass or the like. That is, these metal spouts 2 and water passing members 10 are made of a material having higher rigidity than the resin connecting member 12.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, an insertion hole 40 into which the connecting member 12 can be inserted into the spout 2 from the lower side is formed on the upstream side in the spout 2.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, when the connecting member 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 40 until the upper surface of the lower flange 12b abuts on the step portion 42, the connecting member 12 has a predetermined height from the lower end of the spout 2. It is positioned at the position of H1.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, after the connecting member 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 40 from the lower side, the downstream end (upper end) of the water flow member 10 is the upstream end (lower end) in the spout 2. ), The connecting member 12 is held at a predetermined position above the downstream end (upper end) of the water flow member 10 in the spout 2.
In the faucet device 1 of the present embodiment, the connection member 12 will be described as being separately incorporated inside the spout 2, but the downstream end (upper end) of the water passage member 10 will be described. It may be a form incorporated separately inside or the like.

つぎに、図２及び図６に示すように、本実施形態の水栓装置１は、さらに、互いに接続されたスパウト２と通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）とを固定するねじ部材である金属製の止めねじ４４を備えている。
また、図６に示すように、通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）の外周面には、凹部１０ｂが形成されている。
そして、図６に示すように、止めねじ４４は、スパウト２の背面側から前方に向かって螺合された後、接続部材１２に当接することなく、止めねじ４４の先端（前端）が通水部材１０の凹部１０ｂ内に当接した状態で嵌合されるようになっている。
これらにより、スパウト２と通水部材１０とを止めねじ４４で固定する際には、強度が低い樹脂材料で形成された接続部材１２に対して、金属製の止めねじ４４の先端（前端）が当接し、接続部材１２が破損してしまうことを抑制することができるようになっている。
なお、本実施形態の水栓装置１においては、通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）の外周側がスパウト２の上流側端部（下端部）の内周側に接続された形態について説明している。
しかしながら、変形例として、通水部材１０の下流側端部（上端部）の内周側がスパウト２の上流側端部（下端部）の外周側に接続された形態であってもよい。このような形態の場合においても、止めねじ４４は、接続部材１２に当接することなく、スパウト２と通水部材１０とを固定すればよい。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the faucet device 1 of the present embodiment further has a screw for fixing the spout 2 connected to each other and the downstream end portion (upper end portion) of the water passage member 10. A metal set screw 44, which is a member, is provided.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a recess 10b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the downstream end portion (upper end portion) of the water flow member 10.
Then, as shown in FIG. 6, after the set screw 44 is screwed from the back surface side of the spout 2 toward the front, the tip (front end) of the set screw 44 passes water without coming into contact with the connecting member 12. It is fitted in a state of being in contact with the recess 10b of the member 10.
As a result, when the spout 2 and the water passage member 10 are fixed by the set screw 44, the tip (front end) of the metal set screw 44 is attached to the connecting member 12 made of a resin material having low strength. It is possible to prevent the connecting member 12 from being damaged due to contact.
In the faucet device 1 of the present embodiment, the outer peripheral side of the downstream end (upper end) of the water passage member 10 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the upstream end (lower end) of the spout 2. Explaining.
However, as a modification, the inner peripheral side of the downstream end (upper end) of the water passage member 10 may be connected to the outer peripheral side of the upstream end (lower end) of the spout 2. Even in such a form, the set screw 44 may fix the spout 2 and the water passage member 10 without contacting the connecting member 12.

つぎに、図４〜図７に示すように、スパウト２内において、接続部材１２の下流側には、スパウト２の吐水口２ａまで延びる流路２ｂが形成されている。そして、接続部材１２の内部には、通水部材１０のスパウト吐水用通水路２６とスパウト２内の流路２ｂと互いに連通させる内部流路４６が形成されている。
これにより、図２及び図４〜図７に示すように、上述した流路切替装置１６の流路切替弁３４がスパウト吐水モードに切り替えた場合において、通湯路２０及び通水路２４のそれぞれからスパウト吐水用通水路２６に流入した湯及び水は、接続部材１２の内部流路４６を通過するようになっている。
そして、この接続部材１２の内部流路４６を通過した湯及び水は、スパウト２の流路２ｂ内に流入するようになっている。その後、スパウト２の流路２ｂ内の湯及び水は、湯量調整用のハンドル６及び水量調整用のハンドル８の調整具合に応じて、スパウト２の吐水口２ａから湯、水又は混合湯水として吐水されるようになっている。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a flow path 2b extending to the spout 2a of the spout 2 is formed on the downstream side of the connecting member 12 in the spout 2. Inside the connecting member 12, an internal flow path 46 that communicates with the spout water discharge passage 26 of the water passage member 10 and the flow path 2b in the spout 2 is formed.
As a result, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to 7, when the flow path switching valve 34 of the flow path switching device 16 described above is switched to the spout water discharge mode, from each of the hot water passage 20 and the water passage 24 The hot water and water that have flowed into the spout water discharge channel 26 pass through the internal flow path 46 of the connecting member 12.
The hot water and water that have passed through the internal flow path 46 of the connecting member 12 flow into the flow path 2b of the spout 2. After that, the hot water and water in the flow path 2b of the spout 2 are spouted as hot water, water, or mixed hot water from the spout 2a of the spout 2 according to the adjustment condition of the handle 6 for adjusting the amount of hot water and the handle 8 for adjusting the amount of water. It is supposed to be done.

つぎに、図１〜図９を参照して、本発明の第１実施形態による水栓装置１の作用について説明する。
まず、上述した本発明の第１実施形態による水栓装置１によれば、接続部材１２がスパウト２の内部に別体で組み込まれている。したがって、スパウト２自体の構造を変更することなく、別体の接続部材１２を変更するだけで、スパウト２と通水部材１０との間の内部流路４６を容易に変更することができる。
したがって、接続部材１２とは別体であるスパウト２については共通化することができると共に、様々な内部流路４６を備えた水栓装置にも対応することができる。
よって、スパウト２を成形する型（鋳型）等を最小限に留めることがでるため、水栓装置１の製造コストを抑制することができる。
また、接続部材１２の縦穴１２ａ貫く操作レバー３６のレバー部材３６ａを操作し、流路切替弁３４が通水部材１０の流路１４をシャワー吐水用通水路２８に切り替えることにより、給湯源１８から供給される湯又は給水源２２から供給される水をシャワー吐水用通水路２８に分岐させることができる。
したがって、スパウト２を共通化しつつ、シャワー吐水用通水路２８の下流側のシャワーヘッド４において、スパウト２の吐水口２ａ以外による吐水が可能な多様性のある吐水形態を実現することができる。 Next, the operation of the faucet device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.
First, according to the faucet device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the connecting member 12 is separately incorporated inside the spout 2. Therefore, the internal flow path 46 between the spout 2 and the water passage member 10 can be easily changed by simply changing the separate connecting member 12 without changing the structure of the spout 2 itself.
Therefore, the spout 2 which is a separate body from the connecting member 12 can be shared, and a faucet device provided with various internal flow paths 46 can also be supported.
Therefore, since the mold (mold) for forming the spout 2 can be kept to a minimum, the manufacturing cost of the faucet device 1 can be suppressed.
Further, by operating the lever member 36a of the operating lever 36 penetrating the vertical hole 12a of the connecting member 12, the flow path switching valve 34 switches the flow path 14 of the water flow member 10 to the water flow path 28 for shower water discharge from the hot water supply source 18. The hot water supplied or the water supplied from the water supply source 22 can be branched into the water discharge channel 28 for shower water discharge.
Therefore, while sharing the spout 2, it is possible to realize a variety of water discharge forms in which the shower head 4 on the downstream side of the shower water discharge passage 28 can discharge water from a spout 2 other than the spout 2a.

つぎに、本実施形態による水栓装置１によれば、接続部材１２が樹脂の材料で形成されているため、接続部材１２の内部流路４６が複雑になる場合であっても、容易に且つ安価に形成することができる。
また、スパウト２内の内部流路４６を変更したい場合には、所望の内部流路４６に応じた別形態の樹脂製の接続部材１２を用意して交換すればよい。
したがって、例えば、スパウト２が鋳物製である場合には、鋳型を共通化し、スパウト２に対しては、別部材の接続部材１２に応じた最小限の加工で済ませることができる。
よって、スパウト２とは別形態のスパウトの鋳型を別途に用意する必要もないため、水栓装置１の製造コストを効果的に抑制することができる。 Next, according to the faucet device 1 according to the present embodiment, since the connecting member 12 is made of a resin material, even when the internal flow path 46 of the connecting member 12 becomes complicated, it can be easily and easily performed. It can be formed inexpensively.
Further, when it is desired to change the internal flow path 46 in the spout 2, a resin connecting member 12 having a different form according to the desired internal flow path 46 may be prepared and replaced.
Therefore, for example, when the spout 2 is made of a casting, the mold can be shared, and the spout 2 can be processed with the minimum amount according to the connecting member 12 of another member.
Therefore, since it is not necessary to separately prepare a mold for the spout having a form different from that of the spout 2, the manufacturing cost of the faucet device 1 can be effectively suppressed.

また、本実施形態による水栓装置１によれば、通水部材１０とスパウト２とを互いに接続した際に、通水部材１０及びスパウト２から接続部材１２に対して過度な外力が作用することなく、接続部材１２を通水部材１０とスパウト２との間の所定位置に保持することができる。
したがって、接続部材１２が樹脂の材料で形成されていたとしても、接続部材１２が上述した過度な外力により破損してしまうことを抑制することができる。 Further, according to the faucet device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the water passing member 10 and the spout 2 are connected to each other, an excessive external force acts on the connecting member 12 from the water passing member 10 and the spout 2. Instead, the connecting member 12 can be held at a predetermined position between the water passing member 10 and the spout 2.
Therefore, even if the connecting member 12 is made of a resin material, it is possible to prevent the connecting member 12 from being damaged by the above-mentioned excessive external force.

さらに、本実施形態による水栓装置１によれば、互いに接続されたスパウト２と通水部材１０とを止めねじ４４が固定した状態では、この止めねじ４４がスパウト２の背面側から螺合される。この際、止めねじ４４の先端（前端）が接続部材１２に当接することなく、通水部材１０の凹部１０ｂに当接して嵌合することができる。
したがって、スパウト２と通水部材１０とを止めねじ４４で固定する際に、止めねじ４４の先端（前端）が、強度の低い樹脂材料の接続部材１２に当接して接続部材１２が破損してしまうことを抑制することができる。 Further, according to the faucet device 1 according to the present embodiment, when the set screw 44 fixes the spout 2 and the water passage member 10 connected to each other, the set screw 44 is screwed from the back side of the spout 2. To. At this time, the tip (front end) of the set screw 44 does not abut on the connecting member 12, but can abut and fit in the recess 10b of the water passage member 10.
Therefore, when the spout 2 and the water flow member 10 are fixed by the set screw 44, the tip (front end) of the set screw 44 comes into contact with the connecting member 12 made of a low-strength resin material, and the connecting member 12 is damaged. It is possible to suppress the storage.

It is similar to the connecting member 12 of the first embodiment in that it is held.
However, the structure of the internal flow path 146 of the connecting member 112 is different from the internal flow path 46 of the connecting member 12 of the first embodiment.
As a result, in the faucet device 100 of the present embodiment, the hot water and water flowing out from each of the hot water passage 20 and the water passage 24 always flow into the spout water discharge water passage 26. Then, it passes through the internal flow path 146 of the connecting member 112 and flows into the flow path 2b of the spout 2. After that, the hot water and water in the flow path 2b of the spout 2 are spouted as hot water, water, or mixed hot water from the spout 2a of the spout 2 according to the adjustment condition of the handle 6 for adjusting the amount of hot water and the handle 8 for adjusting the amount of water. Will be done.
