Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a handle device used to remotely control valves that are buried under the floor of a building or outdoors, such as antifreeze faucets, either directly or via a connecting rod. Regarding.

Conventionally, when operating this type of valve, especially when it is installed under the floor, a pipe connected to the valve body protrudes upward from the floor surface and is connected to the upper end of a rod housed within the pipe. The operating frame is operated via a handle, and a valve body connected to the lower end of the rod is moved up and down to select both water supply and drainage states.

However, the operating parts of these devices protrude significantly upward from the floor, which makes them look unsightly, and they are often installed in corners such as the kitchen so that they do not get in the way of daily life, making it difficult to install them. There was a major flaw in that it was restricted and difficult to operate the steering wheel.

Therefore, a method proposed to solve this problem is Utility Model Application No. 57-10078K filed by the same applicant.

The above-mentioned device houses an operating part body that rotates without moving up and down in a flange that is fixed at approximately the same height as the floor, and a handle that rotates in a direction perpendicular to the operating part main body is always attached to the flange. is fitted into a recess formed in the upper end of the operating section main body, and is connected to the operating section main body so as to rise during operation to give rotational motion to the operating section main body, and further connects the operating section main body and the operating frame of the valve, It is designed to be connected via a connecting rod etc. in between, and if the flange, operating part main body and handle are formed at approximately the same height, it will look very good and will not get in the way during daily life. Furthermore, it has become possible to provide a handle device that completely eliminates the above-mentioned defects, and can be installed, for example, in the middle of the kitchen, without being subject to restrictions on the installation location.

However, although the above-mentioned devices have a handle that is rotated with the handle raised up during operation, they do not have a mechanism that allows the handle to remain stationary in the raised state, so when the number of rotations of the handle is high, the handle cannot be rotated. In some cases, when the handle is released to change hands, the handle may fall down, which is inconvenient in operation as the handle must be raised and operated again each time.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a valve handle device that takes advantage of the advantages of Utility Application No. 57-10078N and eliminates the above-mentioned defects.The basic configuration for this purpose is as follows. be.

In other words, a recess is formed at the upper end of the 7-lunge, which is fixed to the floor or wall with wood screws, etc., and the circular operating unit body, which is connected to the valve operating unit via a connecting rod, can be rotated in the horizontal direction. The valve is connected to and housed in such a manner that it can only move, and is further mounted on the operating section main body, so that it is normally seated horizontally in the recessed portion and stands up when operating the valve to impart rotational motion to the operating section main body.
Connecting the horseshoe-shaped handle At the waist, the handle is raised up, and in order for the handle to descend slightly vertically from that state, deep grooves are formed on both ends of the center line of the operation unit body, and guide grooves are also formed on the operation unit body or handle, so that the handle descends. When the handle is erected, both ends of the handle are locked in the deep grooves to prevent it from falling over.

The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 1 is an overall view of the device using the present invention.
The handle device 2 of the present invention is installed in the operating frame 5 of an antifreeze faucet 4 whose valve part is buried underground 3, and a connecting rod consisting of a rod joint 6, a square rod 7, and a square vibrator 8. are connected via.

The figure shows the handle being rotated in the horizontal direction with the handle upright, and this rotational force is applied to the rod joint 6 via the square pipe 8, the square L7 head 7, and the roll pin 9 inserted into the square rod 7. The operation frame 5 fixed to the joint 6 with screws 10 is rotated.

When the operating frame 5 moves up and down while rotating, the square rod 7 moves up and down within the square vibrator 8 by that amount.

Inserting the square rod 7 into the square pipe 8 is convenient in that the rotation can be reliably transmitted and the length can be easily adjusted.

Illustration 1. However, the operating frame 5 is connected to the valve body of the antifreeze faucet via a rod, and the valve body moves up and down within the valve box to select both water supply and drainage states.

The valve box is extended upward by a vibrator 11 and connected to an upper fitting 12 having a female thread.

The figure shows an example in which the handle device 2 and the antifreeze faucet 4 are installed offset, but if both are placed on the same axis, the rod joint 6 can be omitted, or the antifreeze It is also possible to extend the water tap 4 upward and directly connect the operating frame 5 to the handle device 2, thereby omitting the square pipe 8 and the square rod 7.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment of the handle device of the present invention in a normal state in a vertical cross-sectional view and a plan view. A tall circular flange 14 is formed and fixed to the floor 1 with wood screws 15.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a main body of the operating section with a circular outer periphery, and a flange section 17 at the lower end.
It is seated and accommodated in the flange 13, and is locked by two pins 18 provided in the flange 13, so that it only rotates without moving up and down.

The operating part main body 16 has a horseshoe-shaped recess 19 on its upper surface, has relief parts 20 deeper than the recess 19 at both ends, and further has a deep groove 21 on the center line of its lower end.

A rectangular pipe housing cylinder 22 is formed by drilling inside, and a vertical notch hole 23 is formed that penetrates from the deep groove 21 into the housing cylinder 22, and a connecting pin 24 connects the operating part main body 16 and the square pipe 8 with a certain degree of freedom. do.

A horseshoe-shaped handle 25 that fits and seats in the recess 19 is connected to the operating section main body 16 by a guide pin 27 inserted into a vertically elongated guide mechanism 26 provided on the central axis of the operating section main body 16.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, if the horseshoe-shaped tip 28 is now pressed with a finger, the handle 25 will rotate in a direction perpendicular to the floor surface 1 around the pin 27, and the center part of the handle 25 will rotate. Recess 1
Since a gap is created between the release part 9 and the operating part main body 16, a gap is created between the handle 25 and the operating part main body 16, so that the handle 25 can be rotated smoothly without hitting the operating part main body on the way. I can do it.

When rotated 90 degrees, the lower end of the handle 25 becomes one wall surface 2 of the relief part 20.
9 and stops rotating, but when the handle 25 is released, the handle 25 descends until the guide pin 27 comes into contact with the lower end of the vertically elongated guide groove 26.

That is, the handle 25 stops in the state shown in FIG. 4, but in this state, both sides of the horseshoe-shaped tip 28 are restrained by both walls of the deep groove 21, so the handle 25 does not fall in either the left or right direction but remains vertical. can maintain a standing position.

If you just rotate the handle in the horizontal direction, the control unit main body 1
6 and the operation frame 5 will also rotate at the same time.

After the rotation is completed, it is sufficient to lift the handle 25 until the guide pin 27 comes into contact with the upper end of the guide groove 26, and after the horseshoe-shaped tip 28 comes out of the deep groove 21, push down the handle 25. If the main body 16 of the operating section and the handle 25 are at the same height, it will look good, and your feet will not get caught when passing by, so you can install it anywhere, such as in the middle of the room. can.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5, and the differences from that in FIG. 2 are as follows.

Note that the same parts as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

In the figure, the flange 14 of the flange 13 has a square shape, and is fixed to the floor surface 1 at its diagonal portion with wood screws.

The operating part main body 16 is seated on the flange 13 by a collar 17 provided at the upper end.
This prevents them from leaving Franch 13.

Further, a concentric recess 19 is formed on the upper surface all around the circumference, deep grooves 21 are formed at both ends of the center line deeper than the recess, and a square pipe accommodating cylinder 22 is protruded from the lower end.

The horseshoe-shaped handle 25 is connected to the operation unit main body 1 by two bottles 27.
6, the distance from the bottle 27 to both ends of the handle 25 is shorter than that shown in FIG.

Therefore, when pulling up the handle 25, insert your finger between the handle 25 and the four parts 19, and when you release your hand when it becomes vertical, the handle 25 will descend until the guide pin 27 comes into contact with the upper end of the guide groove 26, forming a horseshoe shape. Since the light gusset 28 enters the deep groove 21 and both sides of the horseshoe-shaped tip 28 are restrained by both walls of the deep groove 21, the handle 25 is stably maintained in an upright state.

Other operating modes are almost the same as those in FIG.

The present invention has been explained above based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, but there are other ways to fix the flange 13, for example, not by fixing it to the floor or wall with wood screws, but with nuts that sandwich the floor or wall. Alternatively, the handle 25 may have an arc-shaped notch in the center where a finger can fit, and the handle can be pulled up by inserting the finger into the cutout, or a universal cutout can be formed between the operation part main body 16 and the square pipe 8. You are free to make design changes such as connecting via joints, etc.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to antifreeze faucets, but also to the operation of general valves.

As mentioned above, the handle device of the present invention has almost no protruding parts from the floor, so it looks good, and it does not get in the way of walking, so it can be installed in the middle of a room. In addition to the advantages of being able to choose freely, the handle stands up stably in a vertical position, so there is no chance of the handle falling over when rotating it.
Therefore, there is an effect that there is no difference in steering wheel operation.
