Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a shower device used in a bathroom for various shower baths.

[Prior Art] In a conventional shower device, as shown in FIG. 4, a water supply pipe a and a hot water supply pipe b are connected via a check valve c to a temperature control valve d for mixing hot water, and a temperature control valve d is used. A flow rate adjustment valve e is provided on the outlet side of the flow rate control valve, and the flow rate adjustment valve e is separated into a hand shower side pipeline f and a functional shower side pipeline g, and the functional shower side pipeline g is fall (pulse). Shower pipeline h and mist shower pipeline i and rolling (pulse)
And a solenoid valve m, n, p was arranged at each of the branched portions. Then, the solenoid valves m, n, and p can be used to electrically open and close the conduit to be used as various showers.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such a conventional example, the solenoid valves m, n, p are electrically controlled.
There is a problem that the structure of the system becomes complicated due to the structure that opens and closes, and there is a risk of electrical leakage because it is electrically controlled, and when there is a failure, both electrical failure and mechanical failure such as valves are inspected. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the water hammer when the water pressure is high due to opening and closing by the solenoid valves m, n, p, and there is also a problem in terms of durability due to the above structure.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and the object of the present invention is to make the system simple, without the risk of electric leakage, easy to maintain and durable without using electrical control. However, it is to provide a low cost shower device with other functions.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the shower device of the present invention has an outlet side of a temperature control valve 1 for mixing hot water to obtain hot water of an appropriate temperature, which is branched into a discharge pipe side and a shower side. Then, the first switching valve 2 is provided in this branch portion, the shower side is branched into the functional shower side and the hand shower side, the second switching valve 3 is provided in this branch portion, and the functional shower side is connected with the mist shower side. A third switching valve 4 was provided at this branch portion by branching to the hot water side, and the first switching valve 2, the second switching valve 3, and the third switching valve 4 were manually operated mechanical valves.

[Function] A multifunctional shower that can be used by supplying water to the hand shower side to use as a hand shower, supplying water to the mist shower side to use as a mist shower, or supplying water to the shower water side to use as a shower water. It can be used, and various functions can be switched by a manually operated mechanical valve switching valve, and problems such as electrical control can be eliminated.

[Embodiment] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a bathtub 7 is installed on one side of the lower part of the bathroom 6, and a washing room 8 is installed on the other side. A mixing faucet 10 capable of mixing hot water is attached to a wall surface 9 above the bath 7. A mirror 11 is attached to a wall surface 9 of the washing room 8, and a temperature control valve 1 for mixing hot water to adjust the temperature is mounted below the mirror 11. Temperature control valve 1
Is provided with a discharge pipe 12 below, and a hand shower nozzle 13 is provided on the hand shower side communicating with the temperature control valve 1. The hand shower nozzle 13 is detachably hooked on a hook 14 of a wall surface 9. There is. Ceiling surface
A fixed shower nozzle 16 is attached to the upper part of the washing area 8 at 15, and the fixed shower nozzle 16 is provided with a mist jet nozzle portion 17 and a pouring hot water jet nozzle portion 18. The flow of hot water is as shown in FIG. The water supply from the water supply pipe 19 and the hot water supply from the hot water supply pipe 20 are sent to the temperature control valve 1 and mixed so that hot water having an appropriate temperature is obtained. The outlet side of the temperature control valve 1 is branched into a pipe line on the discharge pipe 12 side and a pipe line on the shower side, and the first switching valve 2 is arranged at this branched portion. The pipeline on the shower side is branched into a pipeline on the hand shower side and a pipeline on the functional shower side, and a second switching valve 3 is provided at the branched portion.
The pipe line on the hand shower side communicates with the hand shower nozzle 13. The functional shower side pipe is branched into a mist side pipe and a pouring hot water side pipe, and a third switching valve 4 is provided at the branched portion. The pipe line on the mist side is communicated with the mist spouting nozzle part 17, and the pipe line on the pouring water side is communicated with the pouring water spouting nozzle part 18. The first switching valve 2, the second switching valve 3, and the third switching valve 4 are mechanical valves that are manually operated. The first switching valve 2 is mounted near the temperature control valve 1, and the second switching valve 3 and the third switching valve 4 are mounted on the wall surface 9.

Therefore, by switching the first switching valve 2 to the discharge pipe 12 side, the hot water can be discharged from the discharge pipe 12 and used. When the first switching valve 2 is switched to the shower side and the second switching valve 3 is switched to the hand shower side, hot water is ejected from the hand shower nozzle 13 and the hand shower nozzle 13 can be held by hand for a hand shower bath. .
When the second switching valve 3 is switched to the function shower side and the third switching valve 4 is switched to the mist side, the mist is ejected from the mist ejection nozzle portion 17 to form a mist shower bath. When the third switching valve 4 is switched to the pouring hot water side in this state, a pouring hot water bath can be formed by ejecting water from the pouring hot water jet nozzle portion 19 like a waterfall. Further, in the case of the present invention, since the pipes are connected by using the back pipes, it is possible to finish aesthetically without exposing the complicated pipes. Furthermore, since a normal mixing stopper is pulled out on the back and various functions are switched by combining a switching valve, it is possible to realize a multifunctional shower at low cost.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the present invention branches the outlet side of the temperature control valve into the discharge pipe side and the shower side to obtain hot water of an appropriate temperature by mixing hot water with the first switching valve at this branch portion. Provided, the shower side is branched into the functional shower side and the hand shower side, and a second switching valve is provided in this branch portion, and the functional shower side is branched into the mist shower side and the sprinkling hot water side, and the second branch valve is provided in this branch portion. Since 3 switching valves are provided, they can be used as a hand shower, as a mist shower, or as hot water by appropriately switching the first switching valve, the second switching valve and the third switching valve. It can be used as a multifunctional shower and has only three switching valves for a discharge pipe, a hand shower, a mist shower, and a striking device. Four kinds of hot water can be used for switching, and the number of valves can be reduced as much as possible to simplify the structure, and the first switching valve, the second switching valve and the third switching valve can be used. Since it is a mechanical valve that can be operated manually, it can be switched without using electrical control as in the past, which simplifies the system and eliminates the risk of electrical leakage. Maintenance is easy without the need for electrical inspection, and because it does not open and close suddenly like the opening and closing of the solenoid valve, there is no worry of a water hammer. Since it is not accompanied, there is no problem in long-term reliability.
