Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flow path opening / closing device that starts water supply to a toilet by receiving an instruction to start water supply and autonomously stops water supply by satisfying a predetermined condition.
- a so-called flash valve is known as such a channel opening / closing device.
- This flush valve accepts water from the primary flow path that is the water supply source and sends it to the primary internal flow path, and the flow that sends water from the secondary internal flow path to the secondary flow path that is the water supply destination.

- a secondary passage for opening and closing the bypass passage
- the flush valve configured as described above performs an operation of opening the sub-valve such as depressing the operation lever, the bypass passage is opened and the back pressure of the main valve body constituting the main valve is reduced, and the primary side internal flow is reduced.
- the main valve body is pushed up by the primary pressure in the passage so as to be separated from the main valve seat, the main valve is opened, and water flows out from the outlet to the secondary side flow path.
- the sub valve is closed such as returning the operation lever, or when the operation lever is automatically returned and the sub valve is closed, the bypass flow path is closed and the back pressure of the main valve body increases.
- the flush valve functions as a flow path opening / closing device that starts water supply to the toilet upon receiving an instruction to start water supply and autonomously stops water supply when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
- the conventional flush valve has a relatively simple configuration and is extremely useful as a device for sending out a certain amount of water, and is widely used as a means for supplying water to urinals and urinals.
- the standard water discharge is 15L, and the water discharge is 11 ⁇ 16.5L if the water pressure is low. If possible, it is acceptable. If the water pressure is high, it is acceptable if a water discharge amount of 13.5 to 19 L can be secured.
- the conventional flush valve has a different amount of water discharge due to fluctuations in water pressure.
- a plurality of toilets are generally installed in a form of being connected to each other.
- the water pressure fluctuation is more greatly generated depending on the case.
- the conventional flush valve toilet has a configuration in which the amount of water is increased so that filth can be discharged properly even when the water pressure is low or the water pressure fluctuation is large. Therefore, particularly when the water pressure is high or in an environment where fluctuations in the water pressure are small, excess water must be flowed. As a result, there is a great amount of wasted water, and a countermeasure in terms of water saving has been desired.
- the conventional technique described in Patent Document 2 is to incorporate a constant flow valve afterward into a flash valve that can operate without incorporating a constant flow valve.
- Each functional member of the conventional normal flash valve is based on the premise that the differential pressure between the primary pressure of the primary flow path and the secondary pressure of the secondary flow path is relatively large. Therefore, when a constant flow valve is installed as a retrofit, the differential pressure between the primary pressure and the secondary pressure becomes small, so although the effect of making the flow rate constant can be expected to some extent, the opening and closing response of the main valve becomes dull. there is a possibility. In particular, more reliable constant flow rate control is required to achieve water saving in the entire toilet bowl cleaning system including the flow path opening / closing device. In addition, when a constant flow valve is incorporated as a retrofit, it is a matter of course that a constant flow valve is added to the structure of a conventional normal flash valve, which makes it difficult to reduce the overall size of the apparatus. is there.

- the constant flow valve body and the constant flow valve seat are incorporated in the main valve, and by adjusting the distance between the constant flow valve body and the constant flow valve seat, The main flow rate flowing from the flow path to the secondary side internal flow path is kept constant. Since the main valve body and the constant flow valve body are formed as an integrated valve member, when the valve member is driven, the main valve body and the constant flow valve body move integrally. Since the flow rate can be adjusted simultaneously by driving the main valve body in this way, a large differential pressure between the primary pressure and the secondary pressure can be obtained, and the main valve body can be opened and closed quickly. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to provide a flow path opening / closing device that can quickly open and close the main valve for starting and stopping water supply and that can be downsized.

Therefore, it is required to eliminate an element that suppresses the movement of the main valve when the sub valve is opened. Therefore, in a standby state in which the main valve and the sub valve are closed, the position control member is moved so as to approach the valve member side by holding the position control member at a position farthest from the valve member. In addition, the possibility of hindering the movement of the valve member can be reduced. Therefore, the main valve can quickly leave the main valve seat without the position control member hindering the operation of the main valve included in the valve member.

Main flow fluctuates. Therefore, in this preferred embodiment, the outer shape of the constant flow valve body is devised, and the characteristic indicating the relationship between the displacement of the position of the valve member and the main flow rate becomes a non-linear characteristic.

前記バネは、少なくとも前記副バルブが閉じられている間は前記一次側内部流路から前記二次側内部流路へ流れる水が通過せず、前記一次側内部流路から流入する水が溜められて前記一次圧が前記主弁体を前記主弁座側に押す方向に作用するように形成された背圧室に配置されていることを特徴とする請求項6に記載の流路開閉装置。 - 前記バネは、加わる荷重と変位との関係を示す特性が線形特性となるものとして構成される一方で、前記定流量弁体は、前記弁部材の位置の変位と前記主流量との関係を示す特性が非線形特性となるようにその外形が形成されていることを特徴とする請求項3に記載の流路開閉装置。
- 前記弁部材は前記主弁座に前記主弁体を当接させたり引き離したりするように摺動するものであって、その摺動の際に周囲を囲む前記本体部の内壁に擦れてしまうことで円滑な摺動が阻害されないように、前記弁部材の傾きを抑制する安定化手段が設けられていることを特徴とする請求項3に記載の流路開閉装置。
- 前記安定化手段は、前記弁部材の一部がガイド部として前記本体部の一部と接触し、この接触によって前記弁部材が傾かずに摺動できるものであることを特徴とする請求項9に記載の流路開閉装置。
- 前記安定化手段は、前記弁部材の一部がガイド部として前記一次側内部流路及び前記二次側内部流路の一部と接触し、この接触によって前記弁部材が傾かずに摺動できるものであることを特徴とする請求項10に記載の流路開閉装置。
