The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and its purpose is to provide an automatic/manual faucet device that is easy to open and close when working on kitchen faucets and is easy to operate.

[Disclosure of the invention]

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of the embodiment. The faucet 1 is a mixed faucet that can be used both manually and automatically. This faucet 1 can be opened and closed by moving a manual lever 2 up and down, In the evening, the valve can be opened automatically by driving the drive unit 3 consisting of an electromagnetic solenoid or the like. The drive unit 3 drives the valve mechanism of the water faucet 1 based on a faucet opening control signal and a faucet closing control signal sent from the control unit 4 . The control section 4 outputs a faucet opening control signal or a faucet closing control signal based on the operation signal from the operation input section 5 and the opening/closing detection signal of the first faucet. The operation input unit 5 includes an automatic operation means consisting of a sensor 6 that detects the proximity of a faucet, a hand, an object, etc. installed near the faucet 1, and an open/close detection switch y of a valve mechanism.
It inputs the signals from sw. Faucet 1￥i
For example, it has a configuration as shown in FIG. In other words, the faucet 1 is a cylinder with a bottom, and the faucet 1 is located slightly above the bottom.
One end of the water supply pipe 7 is opened for communication between the sides, and one end of the hot water supply pipe 8 is opened for communication on the opposite side. Further, a faucet 9 is provided on the upper side surface of the faucet 1, and the faucet 9 and the inside of the faucet 1 communicate with each other. The valve body 1O has a cylindrical shape with a hollow interior, and has a water supply port 11 and a hot water supply port 12 on both sides of the bottom.
A drain port 13 is opened in the upper side surface on the side corresponding to the faucet 9, and is housed inside the faucet 1 so as to be vertically movable and horizontally rotatable. Here, the water inlet 11 and the hot water inlet 12 are arranged so that the height position of the drain outlet 13 matches the communication opening of the faucet 9 at the position where the water inlet 11 and the hot water inlet 12 are driven to the communication opening of the water supply pipe 7 and the hot water supply pipe 8, respectively. The distance between the hot water supply port I2 and the drain port 13 is set. Now, there is a hand in the center of the top surface of the valve body 10! A handle body 16 is provided with a handle body 16, which has an automatic stem 15 protruding from the center of the lower surface, and a manual stem 14 that is rotatable in the horizontal direction on the upper surface of the faucet 1. The manual stem 14 is inserted into the handle body 16 through a wide opening window 16a opened on the side of the handle body 16, and the tip is inserted into the manual stem 14.
It is pivotally connected to the upper end. When the free end of the manual lever 2 is pushed down, the manual lever 2 rotates using the opening edge of the opening window 16a as a fulcrum and pulls up the valve body 13 via the manual stem 14, and in this pulled up state, the manual lever 2 When the free end is pushed up, the valve body I3 is pushed down via the manual stem 14. Further, when the manual lever 2 is rotated horizontally within the opening window 16a, the manual stem 1 supported by the snap pin 17 is rotated.
4 and the automatic stem 15 as central axes, the valve body 10 is rotated in the horizontal direction, and by vertically moving the valve body IO, the opposing area between the drain port 13 and the communication opening of the faucet 9 (water supply Water supply (hot water supply) by changing the opposing area between the communication openings of the pipe 7 and the hot water supply pipe 8 and the water supply port 11 and the hot water supply port 12 of the valve body 10
The ratio of the opposing area between the communication opening of the water supply pipe 7 and the water supply port 11 and the opposing area between the communication opening of the hot water supply pipe 8 and the water supply port 12 by changing the amount and rotating the valve body 10 in the horizontal direction; In other words, the temperature of the hot water can be adjusted by changing the mixing ratio between the amount of hot water and the amount of water. Now, the automatic stem 15 passes downward through the bottom surface of the faucet 1 and is connected to the connecting means of the drive section 3.

However, when the automatic stem 15 is pushed up by the drive of the drive unit 3, the valve body 10 in the faucet 1 moves upwardly,
Water supply port 11, M! The sprues I2 are opposed to the communication openings of the hot water supply pipe 8 and the water supply pipe 7, respectively. Therefore, depending on the facing area, water,
Hot water flows into the valve body 10 and is sent to the faucet 9 via the drain port 13 at the top. The amount of water at this time is determined by the vertical movement of the valve body 10, and the water temperature is determined by the rotation angle of the valve body 10.

The manual lever 2 moves its free end downward in conjunction with the upward movement of the valve body 10, thereby indicating the open/closed state of the valve body 10. Here, the switch driver 1g provided on the automatic stem 15 drives the open/close detection switch SW1, and it is detected that the valve body 10 is opened. Next, 1:2 [If plugging, drive part 3
The driving force moves the valve body 10 downward via the automatic stem 15 and returns it to the open state shown in FIG. This valve body 10
This downward movement of course causes the manual lever 2 to rotate via the manual stem 14 and raise its free end, indicating that it has returned to the closed state. Further, it is detected that the opening/closing detection switch SW1 has been deactivated and returned to the closed state. Now, the opening/closing operation described above is performed automatically by the drive unit 3, but it can also be performed manually. That is, when the free end of the manual lever 2 is pushed down, the valve body 10 moves upward via the manual stem 14, and the valve body 10 is opened in the same manner as described above. When closing the opened valve body 10, the valve body 10 can be closed by lifting the free end of the manual lever 2 that has been moved downward, thereby moving the valve body 10 downward via the manual stem I4. In this way, by manual operation, the valve body 10
Even if the drive unit 3 is to be driven up and down, it is possible to link the drive unit 3 via the automatic stem 15, and vice versa.
In the case of After the valve body 10 is opened by the drive unit 3, when the manual lever 2 is rotated horizontally to close the valve body 10, the valve body 10 is rotated around the manual stem 14 and the automatic stem 15. Rotates in the horizontal direction and adjusts the ratio of the facing area between the communication opening of the water supply pipe 7 and the water supply port 11 and the facing area between the communication opening of the hot water supply pipe 8 and the water supply port 12 according to the rotation angle. This means that the water temperature can be adjusted by changing the mixing ratio of water and hot water. Although the above embodiment is a mixing faucet, a simple water faucet may be used, and in this case, a horizontal rotation mechanism for the valve body 10 is not required.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, in the open state of FIG. 2, when an operation signal from the sensor 6 is input to the control section 4 via the operation input section 5 as shown in FIG. 3(b), the open/close detection switch SW is turned off and the cap is in the closed state. The control section 4 detecting this fact sends an opening control signal to the drive section 3 to drive the automatic stem I5 in the direction in which the valve body 10 opens.

The open state of the valve body 10 is maintained as shown in Figure 3 (c). Then, when the operation signal from the sensor 6 is inputted to the control section 4 via the operation input section 5 again, the control section 4
Since the opening/closing detection switch SW1 is turned on and detects that the tap is open, it immediately sends the opening control signal to the drive unit 3.
The automatic stem 15 is driven in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes. In other words, the above-mentioned operation is an automatic opening/closing operation.

Next, when the valve body 10 is automatically opened, the manual lever 2 is manually operated to push down the manual stem 14 as shown in FIG. 3(a), so that the valve body 10 can be closed.

In other words, it opens automatically and closes manually. On the other hand, the third
3 (a) by operating the manual lever 2 as shown in figure (a).
It is also possible to open the valve body 10 as shown in c) and then close the valve body 10 by operating the sensor 6 as shown in FIG. 3(b). It goes without saying that the valve body 10 can be opened or closed by moving the manual lever 2 up or down.

Embodiment 2 In the above-mentioned Embodiment 1, it was not possible to set automatic/manual switching, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. ing.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, the automatic/manual changeover switch SW of the operation input section 5 is switched to automatic as shown in FIG. 5(a). In the closed state of FIG. 2, the opening/closing detection switch SW is in the off state, so the control unit 4 determines that the cap is in the open state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5(c), when the sensor 6 is activated by bringing a hand or object close to the faucet 9 to (faucet I), an operation signal is input to the control unit 4 via the operation input unit 5. and control section 4
is determined from the state of the opening/closing detection switch SW1 and gives an opening control signal to the drive unit 3 to open the valve body 13 as shown in FIG. 5(d). Next, as shown in FIG. 5(c), when the sensor 6 is activated by bringing a hand or an object close to the faucet 92 (faucet 1) again, the control unit 4 detects that the faucet is opened by driving the open/close detection switch SW1. Since this is the case, an opening control signal is output to operate the drive unit 3 in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes.

Therefore, the faucet 1 suddenly returns to its original closed state.

By the way, after the first automatic opening, Fig. 5(b)
As shown in the figure, when the manual lever 2 is operated in the closing direction, the valve body 10 can be pushed down via the manual stem 14 to close the valve. In this case as well, since the automatic stem 15 also moves downward in conjunction with the downward movement of the valve body 10, the opening/closing detection switch SW1 returns to its original state as the drive unit 3 returns to the closed state. Note that when the automatic/manual changeover switch SW is set to the manual side, even if the signal from the sensor 6 is input as shown in FIG. 5(c), the control unit 4 detects that the open/close detection switch SW detects the closed state If it is, the opening control signal will not be output. Therefore, the valve body 10 is not driven as shown in FIG. 5(d).

Next, with the automatic/manual changeover switch SW set to automatic as shown in Fig. 6(a), operate the manual lever 2 in the opening direction as shown in Fig. 6(b) to open the stopper. After the valve body 10 is moved upward and opened as shown in FIG. 6(d), when an operation signal from one sensor 6 is inputted as shown in FIG. 6(C), the control unit 4 detects opening/closing. switch SW
1 detects that the valve is open, it outputs a valve closing control signal to drive the drive unit 3 in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes, thereby closing the valve body 10. Next, as shown in Figure 6(a), with the automatic/manual changeover switch SW1 in the manual position, as shown in Figure 6(b), operate the manual lever 2 in the opening direction to open the bottle. After the valve body 10 is moved up and down and opened as shown in FIG. 6(d), the operation signal from the sensor 6 is
When the input is made as shown in Figure (c), the control unit 4 outputs a valve opening control signal since the opening/closing detection switch SW detects opening, and causes the drive unit 3 to move 1 in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes.
Pivot to close the valve body 10. In other words, it is possible to close the valve automatically even in manual settings.

In addition, with the automatic/manual changeover switch SW set to automatic as shown in FIG. 6(a), operate the manual lever 2 in the opening direction to open the valve as shown in FIG. 6(b). After the body 10 is moved upward and opened as shown in FIG. 6(d), the valve body 10 in the open state can be closed by operating the manual lever 2 in the closing direction. The valve body 10 can be opened and closed manually even in the automatic switching setting. Of course, the valve body 10 can also be opened and closed by operating the manual lever 2 under manual settings.

(Hereinafter referred to as "Gateway") -"1 Embodiment 3 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a foot switch 19 placed at the feet is provided as an automatic operation means in addition to the sensor 6, and the operation signal on the foot switch 19 side is a one-shot, The signal from the sensor 6 side is continuously outputted while the sensor 6 is in the detection operation, and the control section 4 performs the following control processing. The automatic-manual changeover switch SW of the operation input section 5 is set as shown in FIG.
).Switch to automatic as shown in ). In the closed state of FIG. 2, since the open/close detection switch s w and Fi are off, the control unit 4I/''i determines that the faucet 9 is in the open state.Next, as shown in FIG. When a hand (object) approaches and activates the sensor 6, an operation signal is input to the control unit 4.The control unit determines from the state of the 4-piece open/close detection switch SW and gives an opening control signal to the drive unit 3. Open the valve body 10 as shown in Figure 8(d).Next, as shown in Figure 8(b), when the hand (object) that was close to the faucet 9 is removed from the faucet 9, the sensor 6 will no longer operate. , the operation signal falls.Since the control unit 4 open/close detection switch SW1 is driven and detects the opening, a closure control signal is output at the end of the second operation signal to cause the drive unit 3 to switch to the valve body 10. is moved in the closing direction.Therefore, one faucet returns to the original open state.By the way, when the foot switch 19 is turned on in one shot when the faucet is in the open state with automatic setting, @Figure 8 (c) The operation signal shown in FIG. body 1
Open 0. Next, when the foot switch 19 is turned on again in one shot, the operation signal shown in FIG.
Based on the detection of the opening of the opening, a command for controlling opening is given to the driving unit 3;
The valve body 10 is closed as shown in FIG. 8(d) K. By the way, even if the foot switch 19 is activated as shown in FIG. 8(C) after the valve body (10) is automatically opened by the operation signal of the sensor 6, the opening/closing detection switch SW1 is on and the valve has already been opened. Since this is a detection, the rising edge of the operation signal from the control section 4Vi foot switch 19 is ignored. Then, even if there is no input of the operation signal from the sensor 6 during the opening period, the control section 4 gives priority to the previous one-shot ON of the foot switch 19 to maintain the open state. When the valve is turned on again as shown in FIG. 8(c), the controller 4 gives a closing control signal to the drive unit 3 to close the valve body 10. Of course, while the signal from the sensor 6 continues, the operating signal from the switch 19 is as shown in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 1, the control unit outputs a closing control signal according to the second signal inputted twice, and the valve body 10 is controlled as shown in Fig. 8 (
It closes as shown in d). In other words, when opening the bottle, priority is given to the operation signal from the foot switch 19. Now, as shown in Figure 9(a), the automatic/manual changeover switch S
Even if the sensor 6 or the foot switch 19 is activated while W is switched to manual, the control unit 4 ignores the input of the operation signal shown in FIG. The drive of 10 is not performed as shown in Fig. 9 (dl). Also, as shown in Fig. 9 (b), when the operation signal from the sensor 6 is input, the automatic e-manual changeover switch SW is
When the switch is switched from manual to automatic as shown in FIG.
is opened as shown in Fig. 9(d), and then the operation signal υ''
When the input is no longer present, the control section 4 gives a stopper control signal ``to the drive section 3 to open the valve body 10.

Of course, if an operation signal is input from the foot switch 19 while an operation signal is being input from the sensor 6, the same operation as that described in FIG. 8 will be performed. Now, the above operation was performed when the opening and closing were performed automatically, but next, a combination of automatic and manual operation will be explained. First, when the automatic/manual changeover switch SW1 is set to automatic as shown in Figure 10 (a) K, when the operation signal of the sensor 6 is input as shown in Figure 10 (c), the control unit 4T/'i As shown in FIG. 10(e), the drive unit 3 sends a valve opening control signal to close the valve body 10.
Output to. Then, when the manual lever 2 is operated in the opening direction as shown in FIG. 4(b) while the operation signal of the valve 6 is being input, the valve body 10 is pushed down via the manual stem 14 to close the valve. can be done. In this case also valve body 1
Since the automatic stem 15 also moves downward in conjunction with the downward movement of 0, the drive unit 3 returns to the open state, and the 1N idle detection switch SW also returns to its original state. Therefore, even if there is no longer any operational input after the cap is opened, the control section 4 does not perform any control operation. Now, when the operation signal from sensor 6 is input, the 10th
As shown in FIG. (d) K, when the foot switch 19 is turned on one-shot and an operation signal is input, the control section 4 does not output the opening control signal even if the operation signal from the sensor 6 is no longer input. Then, as shown in Figure 10 (b), when the manual lever 2 is operated in the closing direction, the valve body 10 can be pushed down via the manual stem 14 to close the valve. In this case as well, the automatic stem 1 is moved in conjunction with the downward movement of the valve body 10.
Since the valve 5 also moves downward, the drive unit 3 returns to the open state, and the opening/closing detection switch SW1 also returns to its original state. Now, as shown in Fig. 11(a), with the automatic/manual changeover switch SW in the automatic state, as shown in Fig. 11(b), operate the manual lever 2 in the opening direction to open the valve. After the body 10 is moved upward and opened as shown in FIG. 11(e), when an operation signal from the sensor 6 is input as shown in FIG. 11(C), the control unit 4 activates the opening/closing detection switch. Since SW1 detects the opening of the valve, when the input of the operation signal from the sensor 6 disappears, it outputs the valve closing control signal and causes the drive unit 3 to close the valve body 1.
0 is driven in the closing direction to close the valve body 10. Next, during automatic setting, the manual lever 2 is operated in the opening direction as shown in FIG. 11(b) to move the opened valve body 10 upward and open it as shown in FIG. 11(h). 11 (dt), the control unit 4 receives the operation signal from the sensor 6. Even if the signal is no longer input, the valve closing control signal is not output, and only after the second operation signal from the foot switch 19 is input, the valve opening control signal is output, and the drive unit 3 is driven in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes. to close the valve body 10.Next, with the automatic/manual switch SW1 set to manual as shown in FIG. 11(a), the valve body 10 is closed.
), the manual lever 2 is operated in the opening direction to move the valve body 10 in the opened state toward Hijikata, and after opening it as shown in FIG. 11(e), the sensor 6 is operated. Even if the signal is input as shown in FIG. 11(c), the control unit 41
-tIgnore this. Next, when the first operation signal by one-shot ON of the foot switch 19 is inputted as shown in FIG. outputting a signal to drive the drive unit 3 in the direction in which the valve body 10 closes;
The valve body 10 is closed. Even when the knob is set manually, the valve can be closed by operating the foot switch 19. Further, when an operation signal from the sensor 6 is input after manual opening, and an operation signal from the foot switch 19 is input during the input period, the control unit 4 outputs an opening control signal.

Now, with the automatic/manual changeover switch SW set to automatic as shown in FIG. 12(a)K, operate the manual lever 2 in the opening direction as shown in FIG. 12(b) to open the valve. body 1
After moving the valve 0 upward and opening the valve as shown in FIG. 12(e) K, the manual lever 2 is operated in the closing direction, in other words, the valve body 10 in the open state can be closed. Furthermore, after opening the bottle with the manual lever 2, as shown in Fig. 12 (C), t
When the sensor &'il- is operated, the control unit 4 ignores the input of the second operation signal from the sensor 6 since it is already in the open state. Then, by operating the manual lever 2 in the opening direction, the valve body 10 in the open state can be closed. Of course, if there is a signal input from the foot switch 19, the same applies to the case shown in FIG. Next, when switching to manual setting as shown in FIG. 13(a), it is of course possible to manually open and close the valve body 10, and the sensor 6 can be opened and closed manually as shown in FIG. 13(c). Even if an operation signal is input from the control unit 4, the control unit 4 ignores this, and furthermore, in the open state, the sensor 6''!!
Even if the input is made as shown in the figure, it will be ignored and the valve body IO can be opened and closed by manual operation.

Example 4 Automatic/manual changeover switch SW in Example 31d above
However, in this embodiment, this changeover switch SW is eliminated, and the switching is made between manual and automatic depending on the open/closed state of the valve body 10 at the time of inputting the operation signal from the foot switch 19. .

That is, when an operation signal is input from the sensor 6 as shown in FIG. 14(a), the four-controller drive section 3 is operated to move the valve body 10 as shown in FIG. 14(C). let it open,
Closes when there is no more input. If an operation signal is input from the foot switch 19 as shown in FIG. 14(b) while the valve body 10 is open, the valve continues to open until a second operation signal is input from the foot switch 19. . Once the valve body 10 is closed, if the operation signal is input again from the foot switch 19, the setting switches to manual setting, and the manual setting continues until the operation signal from the next foot switch 19 is input. Even if the valve body 10 of the control unit 4 is opened, the valve body 10 is not opened.

As shown in FIG. 15(b), during the manual setting period, the operation signal from the sensor 6 shown in FIG. 15(a) is input and the ten valve bodies are in the closed state as shown in FIG. 15(C). It remains as it is. After the automatic return, when an operation signal from the sensor 6 is input, the valve body 10 will be opened. Also, valve body 1
0, an operation signal from the foot switch 19 is input and manual setting is performed, and then an operation signal from the sensor 6 is input, and during the input period of the operation signal, the next foot switch 1
When the operation signal 9 is input, automatic return occurs and the valve body 10 is recessed from that point on. and sensor 6
