  • Automatic faucets can be installed without using an external power source.
  • An automatic faucet that does not require an external power supply operates simply by replacing the existing faucet device installed in a washroom, etc., so it can be installed without choosing the power environment of the installation location There is.
  • the generator built in the faucet device is usually arranged downstream of the solenoid valve that switches between water stop and water discharge. This is because, when the water pressure is stopped, if the primary pressure of the water supply acts on the generator, the generator is likely to malfunction, and if it is upstream of the solenoid valve, it is difficult to maintain the generator. .
  • the solenoid valve when the solenoid valve is arranged on the upstream side of the generator, the space at the base end portion of the faucet device body is occupied by the solenoid valve. Further, in order to downsize the faucet device body to some extent, it is difficult to incorporate both the solenoid valve and the generator at the base end portion extending substantially in the vertical direction of the faucet device body. For this reason, the generator must be built in a portion extending substantially horizontally from the vertical portion of the faucet device body. If a generator is arrange
  • the air that has entered the generator and the air that has stayed in the generator before the start of initial use is not completely pushed out by the flow of tap water even after switching to the water discharge state. Even in the state, it stays inside the generator. Further, in order to generate necessary electric power by the impeller-type generator, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the impeller to some extent. On the other hand, in order to store the generator inside the faucet device, it is necessary to reduce the size of the generator. For this reason, normally, the generator is comprised as an enlarged diameter part where the part which accommodates the impeller among the water passages in a generator is large. Therefore, when the generator is arranged in the faucet device in a substantially horizontal direction, the air staying in the generator tends to accumulate on the upper portion of the enlarged diameter portion that houses the impeller.
  • the air staying in the enlarged diameter part that houses the generator impeller there is a problem that the generator cannot receive the energy of the water flow that flows inside, and the power generation efficiency decreases. Also, the air staying in the generator may move, resulting in an unstable change in the amount of power generation or, in some cases, a problem with the generator. Furthermore, if air stays in the enlarged diameter part, the load acting on the impeller becomes non-uniform around the rotation axis of the impeller, and the vibration of the rotating impeller increases, causing abnormal noise. It may become.
  • the water passage of the generator has a complicated uneven shape in structure, and bubbles in the water passage remain so as to be caught on the wall surface above the uneven portion. Further, since the flow rate near the wall surface is very slow compared to the center of the flow path, it is difficult to discharge this residual air only with a small flow rate such as a faucet device.

  • an elastic member for allowing the generator to vibrate in the vertical direction with respect to the faucet body is provided separately from the elastic member for ensuring watertightness.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses water-tight sealing materials 12, 13, and 14. However, since this is a sealing material for preventing water leakage, the elastic capacity is extremely small. The material cannot vibrate the generator enough to pull air from the wall. If this sealing material is made to have an elastic capacity that allows vibration to the extent that air is peeled off, sealing performance cannot be ensured and water leakage may occur. Needless to say, there is no such function.
  • the present inventors faced a new problem by providing an elastic member that allows vibration. Specifically, if the generator is subjected to large vibrations in order to separate the air from the wall surface, the water discharged from the water outlet will be shaken and the aesthetics will be impaired, or the faucet body will vibrate and generate noise Furthermore, we encountered unique technical problems that impair the practicality, such as the problem that the vibration of the faucet body is transmitted to the washstand and the noise is further expanded.
  • a space called a diameter-expanded portion was formed by actively expanding a part of the water passage in the vertical direction, and the impeller was stored in this space.
  • This is a device for reducing the amount of vibration of the generator necessary for discharging air. Specifically, if air bubbles are moved from the vicinity of the wall surface having a low flow velocity to the vicinity of the center portion of the flow path having a high flow velocity so that air is discharged only by the vibration, it is necessary to apply a considerably large vibration.
  • a configuration is provided in which a diameter-enlarged portion that is expanded in the vertical direction is provided in a part of the water passage so that air in the generator is easily collected, and the impeller is further stored in the expanded-diameter portion.
