Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a hand washing device. More specifically, the present invention relates to improvement of a protective structure for electric members in a hand washing device equipped with various devices for automating water supply and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a hand washing device, for example, the applicant of the present application
No. 62-233764 (JP-A-1-75731) is proposed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the applicant's previous proposal is to set up a function box 2 around the upper edge 11 of the main body 1 of the hand-washing device having a bowl-shaped ball portion 12 having a drainage outlet 12 'at the bottom. It will be done.

According to this applicant's previous proposal, a hand is pulled out in front of the function box 2 so that water soap, water (warm water),
Dry air can be supplied and discharged, and a water soap port 3, a water supply port 4, and a dry air port 5 are attached to the front plate 21 of the function box 2 facing the ball portion 12, respectively. And this water soap mouth 3, water supply mouth 4, dry wind mouth 5
Sensor 6 that is linked to a controller (not shown) for controlling the supply and discharge of water soap, water (warm water), and dry air from the
However, they are attached in close proximity to the water soap port 3, the water supply port 4, and the dry air port 5 of the front plate 21, respectively. Further, a lamp 7 for displaying the remaining amount of liquid in a reserve tank (not shown) connected to the water soap port 3 is attached to the front plate 21 in the vicinity of the water soap port 3.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

According to the above-mentioned previous proposal by the applicant, the electric member (sensor 6, lamp 7) is usually provided with a waterproof structure such as a waterproof cover on the front surface side of the front plate 21, but is provided on the back surface side. There is no such thing. That is, on the back surface side of the front plate 21, there is no possibility of water splashing, and there is no simple and effective waterproof structure.

However, the sealing property of the operation box 2 deteriorates due to long-term use, or dew condensation occurs in the operation box 2 due to a sudden temperature change, etc. It is conceivable that there will be a problem.

The present invention is to improve the above-mentioned prior proposal by the present applicant in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a rear side of a front plate of an electric member attached to a front plate of an operation box. It is to provide a hand washing device having a simple and effective waterproof structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the hand washing device according to the present invention comprises:
In a washbasin in which a function box for automatically supplying water is erected around the upper edge of the main body of the handwasher, and an electric member is attached to the front plate of the function box facing the ball part, Means characterized in that an eave is provided above the electric member is adopted.

[Action]

According to the above-mentioned means, the water droplets transmitted on the back side of the front plate are changed in the flow direction by the eaves having the simple protruding structure,
Since water droplets are prevented from contacting the electrical member located below the eaves, the purpose of providing a simple and effective waterproof structure on the back side of the front plate of the electrical member is achieved.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the washbasin according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In this embodiment, the function box 2 has a structure in which the front plate 21, the bottom plate 22, and the upper plate 23 form a box shape. This bottom plate 22
Is fixed to the upper edge 11 of the washbasin 1 by bolts 8, and the front plate 21 is supported and fixed to the bottom plate 22 by screws 24. Further, the upper plate 23 is fitted into the front plate 21 and the bottom plate 22, and the bottom plate 22
It is supported and fixed by a screw 26 to a pillar 25 standing upright.

The electrical member of this embodiment is the sensor 6 and the front plate 21.
A locking portion 21b protruding toward the front surface 21a side is provided to lock the main body 61, and the protruding support piece 62 is fixed by a screw 63 to the boss 21d provided on the back side 21c near the locking portion 21b. There is. According to such a mounting structure of the sensor 6, there is an advantage that the mounting strength is increased.

Further, on the back surface 21c of the front plate 21 above the sensor 6, there is provided an eaves 9 projecting inward of the function box 2. This eave 9 has a curved shape with its convex side facing upward, and has a width larger than that of the sensor 6. The eaves 9 may be integrated with the front plate 21 or may be a separate member,
For example, a front plate made of a synthetic resin material together with the locking portion 21b and the boss 21d
It can be easily formed by integrally molding with 21.

According to such an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, since the water droplets transmitted through the front plate 21 of the function box 2 are changed by the eaves 9 to the both sides of the sensor 6, the flow direction of the sensor 6 is reduced.
No water drops on it. In addition, the curved shape of the eaves 9 has an advantage of facilitating the change of the flow direction of the water drops and preventing the water drops from being stored in the eaves 9 themselves. Further, the width of the eaves 9 is set larger than that of the sensor 6, so that the water droplets do not reach the sensor 6 even if the flow direction of the water droplets is changed again between the eaves 9 and the sensor 6. By doing so, there is an advantage that water droplets can be completely prevented from being applied to the sensor 6.

As described above, in addition to the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to implement the lamp 7 which is another electric member by providing the eaves 9. The same applies to electrical members installed outside of this.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the hand washing device according to the present invention can be provided with a simple and effective waterproof structure on the rear surface side of the front plate of the electric member attached to the front plate of the function box, thus improving the durability of the electric member. In addition, there is an effect that the accuracy of electrical control and the like is secured.

Moreover, since only the eaves having a simple protruding structure are provided, there is an effect that the manufacturing can be performed inexpensively and easily.

Further, since the eaves may be provided only above the electric member, there is an effect that the eaves can be implemented without changing the specifications in the function box.

Furthermore, by attaching a visor as a member different from the front plate, it is possible to easily modify the existing product.
