当接部52は、受け部51から下方に延びる前面板55と、前面板55の両側に連結される一対の側面板56と、を有しており、一対の側面板56によって前面板55が支持されている。前面板55は、受け部51の貯水タンク1側の外周面から下方に延びる第1延在面551と、第1延在面551の下端から下に凸となるように湾曲する湾曲面552と、湾曲面552から斜め上方に延びる第2延在面553と、この第2延在面553の端部から下方に延びる当接面554と、を有している。また、各側面板56において、貯水タンク1側の縁部は、第1延在面551、湾曲面552、第2延在面553、及び当接面554に沿うように形成されている。一方、各側面板56において、貯水タンク1とは反対側の縁部は、受け部51の下端部から当接面554の下端部まで直線状に斜めに延びている。
The contact portion 52 has a front plate 55 extending downward from the receiving portion 51 and a pair of side plates 56 connected to both sides of the front plate 55 . Supported. The front plate 55 has a first extension surface 551 extending downward from the outer peripheral surface of the receiving portion 51 on the water storage tank 1 side, and a curved surface 552 that curves downward from the lower end of the first extension surface 551 . , a second extension surface 553 extending obliquely upward from the curved surface 552 and a contact surface 554 extending downward from the end of the second extension surface 553 . In each side plate 56 , the edge on the water storage tank 1 side is formed along the first extension surface 551 , the curved surface 552 , the second extension surface 553 and the contact surface 554 . On the other hand, in each side plate 56 , the edge portion on the side opposite to the water storage tank 1 extends linearly and obliquely from the lower end portion of the receiving portion 51 to the lower end portion of the contact surface 554 .
前面板55において、湾曲面552には貫通孔555が形成されており、第2延在面553には貫通孔555と連続するように貯水タンク1側へ延びる第1溝556が形成されている。上述したように、棒状部材513に差し込まれたチューブ6は、貫通孔555を介して貯水タンク1側に引き出され、第2延在面553の第1溝556に沿うように配置される。第1溝556は、断面円弧状に形成されており、チューブ6の断面積の30%以上、好ましくは50%以上が埋まるように形成されている。
The front plate 55 has a curved surface 552 formed with a through hole 555 , and a second extended surface 553 formed with a first groove 556 extending toward the water storage tank 1 so as to be continuous with the through hole 555 . . As described above, the tube 6 inserted into the rod-shaped member 513 is pulled out through the through-hole 555 toward the water storage tank 1 and arranged along the first groove 556 of the second extending surface 553 . The first groove 556 has an arcuate cross-section, and is formed so that 30% or more, preferably 50% or more of the cross-sectional area of the tube 6 is filled.
また、前面板55において、第1延在面551の背面には、板状の案内部材557が配置されている。この案内部材557は、貫通孔555の上縁から上方に延び、棒状部材513と隙間を空けて配置されている。また、棒状部材513から貫通孔555に至る案内部材557の端縁は、円弧状に形成されている。そのため、棒状部材513に差し込まれたチューブ6は、案内部材557の端縁に沿うように配置され、貫通孔555に向かうようにガイドされている。
A plate-shaped guide member 557 is arranged on the back surface of the first extension surface 551 of the front plate 55 . The guide member 557 extends upward from the upper edge of the through hole 555 and is arranged with a gap from the rod-shaped member 513 . Further, the end edge of the guide member 557 extending from the bar member 513 to the through hole 555 is formed in an arc shape. Therefore, the tube 6 inserted into the rod-like member 513 is arranged along the edge of the guide member 557 and guided toward the through hole 555 .
次に、固定部53について説明する。固定部53は、初期状態において、上述した第2延在面553の上端から上に凸となるように延びる湾曲部531と、湾曲部531の先端から下方に延びる延在部532と、を有する帯状に形成されている。固定部53には第2延在面553に形成された第1溝556と連続する第2溝533が形成されている。第2溝533は、第1溝556と同様の断面形状を有し、湾曲部531及び延在部532に亘って延びている。また、延在部532には、第2溝533を覆うような抜け止め部534が形成されており、第2溝533にはめ込まれたチューブ6が離脱しないように、抜け止め部534によって覆われる。なお、チューブ6は、延在部532の下端からさらに下方に延びるような長さになっている。
Next, the fixing portion 53 will be explained. The fixing portion 53 has, in the initial state, a curved portion 531 extending upward from the upper end of the second extension surface 553 and an extending portion 532 extending downward from the tip of the curved portion 531 . It is formed like a strip. A second groove 533 that is continuous with the first groove 556 formed in the second extension surface 553 is formed in the fixing portion 53 . The second groove 533 has the same cross-sectional shape as the first groove 556 and extends across the curved portion 531 and the extension portion 532 . In addition, the extension portion 532 is formed with a retaining portion 534 that covers the second groove 533, and is covered with the retaining portion 534 so that the tube 6 fitted in the second groove 533 does not come off. . Note that the tube 6 has a length such that it extends further downward from the lower end of the extension portion 532 .
延在部532の下端には、当接面554に向かって斜め上方に延びる帯状の折り返し部54が連結されている。折り返し部54は、弾性変形可能であるため、力を作用させることで、延在部532側に近接するようになっている。すなわち、折り返し部54を押圧すると、折り返し部54と延在部532とのなす角が小さくなる。
A strip-shaped folded portion 54 extending obliquely upward toward the contact surface 554 is connected to the lower end of the extension portion 532 . Since the folded portion 54 is elastically deformable, it is brought closer to the extending portion 532 side by applying force. That is, when the folded portion 54 is pressed, the angle formed by the folded portion 54 and the extension portion 532 becomes smaller.
以上のように構成された取付部材5は、可撓性のある材料によって一体的に形成されている。取付部材5を構成する材料は特には限定されないが、ウレタンゴム、スチレン・ブタジエンゴム、シリコーンゴム、フッ素ゴムなどの材料で形成することができる。また、取付部材5の硬度(国際ゴム硬さ)は、60~100IRHDであることが好ましく、85~95IRHDであることがさらに好ましい。国際ゴム硬さは、例えば、JIS K 6253-2(ISO480)に規定する試験で測定することができる。
The mounting member 5 configured as described above is integrally formed of a flexible material. Although the material constituting the mounting member 5 is not particularly limited, it can be formed of materials such as urethane rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, silicone rubber, and fluororubber. The hardness (international rubber hardness) of the mounting member 5 is preferably 60 to 100IRHD, more preferably 85 to 95IRHD. International rubber hardness can be measured, for example, by a test specified in JIS K 6253-2 (ISO480).
<5.薬液供給装置の組立方法及び使用方法>
次に、上記のように構成された各部材による薬液供給装置の組立方法及び使用方法について説明する。まず、薬液誘導部材3を支持体4に取り付ける。すなわち、薬液誘導部材3を支持体4の受け部42を覆うように取り付ける。このとき、薬液誘導部材3の突部34が支持体4の係合部45に係合することで、薬液誘導部材3が支持体4に固定される。 <5. Method for Assembling and Using the Chemical Supply Device>
Next, a method for assembling and using the chemical liquid supply device using the members configured as described above will be described. First, the chemicalsolution guide member 3 is attached to the support 4 . That is, the chemical solution guide member 3 is attached so as to cover the receiving portion 42 of the support 4 . At this time, the drug solution guide member 3 is fixed to the support 4 by engaging the projecting portion 34 of the drug solution guide member 3 with the engaging portion 45 of the support 4 .
次に、上記のように構成された各部材による薬液供給装置の組立方法及び使用方法について説明する。まず、薬液誘導部材3を支持体4に取り付ける。すなわち、薬液誘導部材3を支持体4の受け部42を覆うように取り付ける。このとき、薬液誘導部材3の突部34が支持体4の係合部45に係合することで、薬液誘導部材3が支持体4に固定される。 <5. Method for Assembling and Using the Chemical Supply Device>
Next, a method for assembling and using the chemical liquid supply device using the members configured as described above will be described. First, the chemical
次に、取付部材5を支持体4に取り付ける。このとき、貯水タンク1の蓋体12の位置によって取付部材5の取り付け方法が異なる。例えば、図3に示すような蓋体12がタンク本体11から側方にせり出している場合には、支持体4が蓋体12と干渉しないようにする必要がある。そのため、取付部材5の受け部51の前面板55側の面と支持体4の第2長壁部411bとが接するように、受け部51を支持体4に嵌め込む。これにより、図11に示すように、支持体4の第2長壁部411bと、取付部材5の第1延在面551とが概ね面一になるため、支持体4と蓋体12とが干渉するのが抑制される。
Next, the attachment member 5 is attached to the support 4. At this time, the mounting method of the mounting member 5 differs depending on the position of the lid 12 of the water storage tank 1 . For example, when the lid 12 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the receiving portion 51 of the mounting member 5 is fitted into the support 4 so that the surface of the receiving portion 51 of the mounting member 5 on the side of the front plate 55 and the second long wall portion 411b of the support 4 are in contact with each other. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11, the second long wall portion 411b of the support 4 and the first extension surface 551 of the mounting member 5 are substantially flush with each other. is suppressed.
また、取付部材5の受け部51は、支持体4の筐体41の短手方向の中心からずれた位置に配置されるため、ガイド板46の真下には、受け部51の排出孔512が配置されず、受け部51の凹部511のすり鉢状の底面が配置される。したがって、ガイド板46を伝う薬液はすり鉢状の底面に滴下される。
Further, since the receiving portion 51 of the mounting member 5 is arranged at a position shifted from the center of the housing 41 of the support 4 in the lateral direction, the discharge hole 512 of the receiving portion 51 is located directly below the guide plate 46 . Instead, the mortar-shaped bottom surface of the recessed portion 511 of the receiving portion 51 is placed. Therefore, the chemical liquid flowing along the guide plate 46 is dripped onto the mortar-shaped bottom surface.
次に、取付部材5を貯水タンクに取り付ける。まず、蓋体12をタンク本体11からずらし、タンク本体11の上端の縁111を露出させる。次に、図12に示すように、タンク本体11の縁111を上方から跨ぐように固定部53を取り付ける。このとき、タンク本体11の縁111の外面に取付部材5の当接面554が当接し、縁111の内壁面が折り返し部54によって押圧される。したがって、タンク本体11の縁111は、当接面554と折り返し部54とによって挟まれ、これによって、取付部材5がタンク本体11に固定される。続いて、図13に示すように、蓋体12をタンク本体11に取り付けると、蓋体12の第1縁部121と第2縁部122との間に固定部53が配置される。また、第1縁部121は、取付部材5の湾曲面552及び第2延在面553の辺りを押圧する(この部分が本発明の設置面を構成する)。但し、チューブ6は第1溝556に嵌め込まれているため、第1縁部121によってチューブ6全体が押圧されるのが抑制される。
Next, attach the mounting member 5 to the water storage tank. First, the lid body 12 is shifted from the tank body 11 to expose the edge 111 at the upper end of the tank body 11 . Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the fixing portion 53 is attached so as to straddle the edge 111 of the tank body 11 from above. At this time, the contact surface 554 of the mounting member 5 contacts the outer surface of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 , and the inner wall surface of the edge 111 is pressed by the folded portion 54 . Therefore, the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is sandwiched between the contact surface 554 and the folded portion 54 , thereby fixing the mounting member 5 to the tank body 11 . Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 13 , when the lid 12 is attached to the tank body 11 , the fixing portion 53 is arranged between the first edge 121 and the second edge 122 of the lid 12 . Also, the first edge portion 121 presses around the curved surface 552 and the second extended surface 553 of the mounting member 5 (this portion constitutes the installation surface of the present invention). However, since the tube 6 is fitted in the first groove 556 , the pressure of the entire tube 6 by the first edge 121 is suppressed.
こうして、取付部材5を貯水タンク1に取り付けた後、図14に示すように、薬液容器2を支持体4に取り付ける。薬液容器2のキャップ22の薄膜部222には、薬液誘導部材3の連通管33が刺し込まれるため、これによって、薬液は連通管33を経て、支持体4の受け部42に流れ込む。そして、この薬液は、受け部42の貫通孔421からガイド板46を伝って下方に流れる。薬液はガイド板46の下端から、取付部材5の受け部51の凹部511に滴下される。このとき、ガイド板46の下端は、凹部511の排出孔512ではなく、すり鉢状の底面に落下し、底面を流れながら、排出孔512に入っていく。排出孔512に入った薬液は、チューブ6に流れ込み、チューブ6から貯水タンク1に溜められた洗浄水に供給される。
After attaching the attachment member 5 to the water storage tank 1 in this manner, the chemical container 2 is attached to the support 4 as shown in FIG. Since the communication tube 33 of the drug solution guide member 3 is inserted into the thin film portion 222 of the cap 22 of the drug solution container 2 , the drug solution flows through the communication tube 33 into the receiving portion 42 of the support 4 . Then, the chemical liquid flows downward from the through hole 421 of the receiving portion 42 along the guide plate 46 . The chemical solution is dripped from the lower end of the guide plate 46 into the concave portion 511 of the receiving portion 51 of the mounting member 5 . At this time, the lower end of the guide plate 46 falls not to the discharge hole 512 of the concave portion 511 but to the mortar-shaped bottom surface and enters the discharge hole 512 while flowing on the bottom surface. The chemical liquid that has entered the discharge hole 512 flows into the tube 6 and is supplied from the tube 6 to the cleaning water stored in the water storage tank 1 .
こうして、貯水タンク1内に洗浄水とともに貯められた薬液は、芳香成分により芳香消臭効果を奏する。また、フラッシュ時に貯水タンク1から便器に流された薬液により、便器が洗浄され、芳香消臭効果も得ることができる。なお、薬液容器2を支持体4に取り付けた後、薬剤供給装置を貯水タンク1に取り付けることもできる。
Thus, the chemical liquid stored in the water storage tank 1 together with the wash water has an aromatic deodorizing effect due to the aromatic component. In addition, the toilet bowl is washed by the liquid medicine poured into the toilet bowl from the water storage tank 1 at the time of flushing, and an aromatic deodorizing effect can also be obtained. It is also possible to attach the drug supply device to the water storage tank 1 after the drug solution container 2 is attached to the support 4 .
<6.特徴>
以上のように構成された薬液供給装置においては、次の効果を得ることができる。
(1)この薬液供給装置は、タンク本体11の縁111に取り付け可能に構成されている取付部材5を有しているため、給水受け皿が設けられていない貯水タンクに薬剤供給装置を取り付けることができる。また、取付部材5には、薬液容器2の薬液を貯水タンク1に案内する、可撓性を有するチューブ6が支持されているため、このチューブ6によって、薬液容器2の薬液を安定して貯水タンク1に供給することができる。 <6. Features>
The following effects can be obtained in the chemical liquid supply device configured as described above.
(1) Since this drug solution supply device has the mountingmember 5 configured to be attachable to the edge 111 of the tank body 11, the drug solution supply device can be attached to a water storage tank that is not provided with a water supply tray. can. In addition, since the attachment member 5 supports the flexible tube 6 for guiding the chemical solution in the chemical solution container 2 to the water storage tank 1, the tube 6 stably stores the chemical solution in the chemical solution container 2. Tank 1 can be fed.
以上のように構成された薬液供給装置においては、次の効果を得ることができる。
(1)この薬液供給装置は、タンク本体11の縁111に取り付け可能に構成されている取付部材5を有しているため、給水受け皿が設けられていない貯水タンクに薬剤供給装置を取り付けることができる。また、取付部材5には、薬液容器2の薬液を貯水タンク1に案内する、可撓性を有するチューブ6が支持されているため、このチューブ6によって、薬液容器2の薬液を安定して貯水タンク1に供給することができる。 <6. Features>
The following effects can be obtained in the chemical liquid supply device configured as described above.
(1) Since this drug solution supply device has the mounting
(2)固定部53及び折り返し部54が変形可能であるため、種々の幅のタンク本体11の縁111に取付部材5を取り付けることができる。上述した図14の例では、タンク本体11の縁111の幅が狭い場合、つまり、縁111の幅が、当接面554と固定部53の延在部532との距離より短い場合の例を示したが、タンク本体11の縁111の幅が広い場合には、次のように、取付部材5を取り付けることができる。
(2) Since the fixed portion 53 and the folded portion 54 are deformable, the attachment member 5 can be attached to the edge 111 of the tank body 11 with various widths. 14, the width of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is narrow, that is, the width of the edge 111 is shorter than the distance between the contact surface 554 and the extension portion 532 of the fixing portion 53. As shown, when the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is wide, the mounting member 5 can be mounted as follows.
図15に示すように、タンク本体11の縁111の幅がやや広い場合には、折り返し部54が縁111によって押圧され、折り返し部54は固定部53の延在部532に接触する。そして、タンク本体11の縁111は当接面554と折り返し部54との間に挟まれる。この場合、タンク本体11の縁111は、概ね固定部53の弾性力によって挟まれる。つまり、タンク本体11の縁111の幅が、固定部53の延在部532と当接面554との距離と概ね同等の場合には、このような挟み方になる。
As shown in FIG. 15 , when the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is slightly wide, the folded portion 54 is pressed by the edge 111 and the folded portion 54 contacts the extending portion 532 of the fixed portion 53 . The edge 111 of the tank body 11 is sandwiched between the contact surface 554 and the folded portion 54 . In this case, the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is generally held by the elastic force of the fixing portion 53 . In other words, when the width of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is approximately equal to the distance between the extension portion 532 of the fixed portion 53 and the contact surface 554, such a sandwiching method is adopted.
図16に示すように、タンク本体11の縁111の幅が広い場合には、湾曲した固定部53を直線状に延ばし、さらに折り返し部54と延在部532との角度を広げ、両者が概ね90度をなすようにする。これにより、当接面554と折り返し部54との間にタンク本体11の縁111を挟むことができる。すなわち、タンク本体11の縁111の幅が、固定部53の延在部532と当接面554との距離よりも長い場合には、このような挟み方になる。
As shown in FIG. 16, when the edge 111 of the tank body 11 is wide, the curved fixing portion 53 is extended linearly, and the angle between the folded portion 54 and the extending portion 532 is widened so that the two are approximately equal to each other. Make 90 degrees. As a result, the edge 111 of the tank body 11 can be sandwiched between the contact surface 554 and the folded portion 54 . That is, when the width of the edge 111 of the tank main body 11 is longer than the distance between the extending portion 532 of the fixing portion 53 and the contact surface 554, the sandwiching method is as described above.
図17に示すように、タンク本体11の縁111に内側に延びるフランジ18が形成されている場合には、湾曲した固定部53を直線状に延ばし、この部分をフランジ18の上面に沿って配置する。このとき、折り返し部54は、フランジ18の下面に係合する。
As shown in FIG. 17 , when the flange 18 extending inwardly is formed on the edge 111 of the tank body 11 , the curved fixing portion 53 is extended linearly and arranged along the upper surface of the flange 18 . do. At this time, the folded portion 54 engages with the lower surface of the flange 18 .
このように、本実施形態に係る取付部材5は、種々の幅のタンク本体11の縁111に取付部材5を取り付けることができる。
Thus, the mounting member 5 according to this embodiment can be mounted on the edge 111 of the tank body 11 with various widths.
(3)固定部53が上に凸の湾曲部531を有しているため、タンク本体11の縁111を乗り越えるように固定部53を配置することができる。例えば、図18に示すように、固定部8が直線状に延びていると、蓋体12が固定部8の上に乗り上げ、蓋体12が傾く、または、取付部材5が傾くおそれがある。これに対して、上記のように固定部53を形成すると、固定部53がタンク本体11の縁111を乗り越えるように配置されるため、タンク本体11と蓋体12との嵌合部分と、固定部53との干渉を抑制することができる。その結果、蓋体12が傾いて配置されるのを抑制することができる。また、取付部材5が傾いて配置されるのを抑制することができるため、薬液容器2が傾くのも抑制することができる。
(3) Since the fixed portion 53 has the upwardly convex curved portion 531 , the fixed portion 53 can be arranged so as to climb over the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . For example, as shown in FIG. 18, if the fixed portion 8 extends linearly, the lid body 12 may ride on the fixed portion 8 and the lid body 12 may tilt or the mounting member 5 may tilt. On the other hand, when the fixing portion 53 is formed as described above, the fixing portion 53 is disposed so as to climb over the edge 111 of the tank body 11, so that the fitting portion between the tank body 11 and the lid body 12 and the fixing portion Interference with the portion 53 can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the lid 12 from being inclined. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the mounting member 5 from being arranged in a tilted manner, it is possible to prevent the chemical liquid container 2 from being tilted.
上述した形態の貯水タンク1のほか、次のような貯水タンクにも取付部材5を取り付けることができる。図19の例は、蓋体12の外周縁に下方に延びる第1縁部121のみが設けられており、この第1縁部121とタンク本体11の縁111とが接している。この場合、固定部53はタンク本体11の縁111を跨ぐように配置されるため、取り付け可能である。また、蓋体12の第1縁部121は固定部53の湾曲部531の辺りを押圧するが、チューブ6は第2溝533に埋め込まれているため、第1縁部121によってチューブ6全体が押圧されるのが抑制される。したがって、薬液の流れが阻害されるのが防止される。
In addition to the water storage tank 1 having the form described above, the mounting member 5 can also be attached to the following water storage tanks. In the example of FIG. 19, only the first edge portion 121 extending downward is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the lid body 12, and the first edge portion 121 and the edge 111 of the tank body 11 are in contact with each other. In this case, since the fixed part 53 is arranged so as to straddle the edge 111 of the tank body 11, it can be attached. Also, the first edge 121 of the lid 12 presses the curved portion 531 of the fixed portion 53, but since the tube 6 is embedded in the second groove 533, the first edge 121 pushes the tube 6 as a whole. Being pressed is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the flow of the chemical from being obstructed.
図20の例は、蓋体12の外周縁に下方に延びる第1縁部121が設けられているが、この第1縁部121の幅がタンク本体11の縁111よりも広くなっている。また、第1縁部121の下端にはタンク本体11の縁111の内面側に配置される突部124が形成されている。この場合も、固定部53はタンク本体11の縁111を跨ぐように配置されるため、取り付け可能である。
In the example of FIG. 20 , a first edge 121 extending downward is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the lid 12 , and the width of this first edge 121 is wider than the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . A protrusion 124 is formed at the lower end of the first edge portion 121 to be arranged on the inner surface side of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . Also in this case, since the fixed part 53 is arranged so as to straddle the edge 111 of the tank body 11, it can be attached.
図21の例は、蓋体12の外周縁に下方に延びる第1縁部121が設けられているが、この第1縁部121の幅がタンク本体11の縁111よりも広くなっている。一方、タンク本体11の縁111の上端面の外側には上方に突出する突部112が形成されている。また、第1縁部121の下端にはタンク本体11の縁111の内面側に配置される突部125が形成されており、この突部125が、タンク本体11の突部112の内側に配置される。この場合も、固定部53はタンク本体11の縁111を跨ぐように配置されるため、取り付け可能である。
In the example of FIG. 21 , a first edge 121 extending downward is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the lid 12 , and the width of this first edge 121 is wider than the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . On the other hand, a protrusion 112 that protrudes upward is formed on the outside of the upper end surface of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . A protrusion 125 is formed at the lower end of the first edge 121 to be arranged on the inner surface side of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 , and the protrusion 125 is arranged inside the protrusion 112 of the tank body 11 . be done. Also in this case, since the fixed part 53 is arranged so as to straddle the edge 111 of the tank body 11, it can be attached.
図22の例は、蓋体12の外周縁に下方に延びる第1縁部121が設けられている。一方、タンク本体11の縁111の上端面の内側には上方に突出する突部113が形成されている。そして、第1縁部121は、タンク本体11の突部113の外面側に配置される。この場合も、固定部53はタンク本体11の縁111を跨ぐように配置されるため、取り付け可能である。
In the example of FIG. 22, a first edge portion 121 extending downward is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the lid body 12 . On the other hand, a protrusion 113 that protrudes upward is formed inside the upper end surface of the edge 111 of the tank body 11 . The first edge portion 121 is arranged on the outer surface side of the protrusion 113 of the tank body 11 . Also in this case, since the fixed part 53 is arranged so as to straddle the edge 111 of the tank body 11, it can be attached.
このように、本実施形態に係る取付部材5は、種々の態様の貯水タンク1に取り付けることができる。
In this way, the mounting member 5 according to this embodiment can be mounted on various types of water storage tanks 1.
(4)上記の例では、蓋体12がタンク本体11からせり出しているため、支持体4の第2長壁部411bが取付部材5の固定部53側を向くように、取付部材5の受け部51を支持体4に嵌め込んでいる。これにより支持体4と蓋体12とが干渉するのが抑制される。一方、図23に示すような蓋体12の側面とタンク本体11の側方とが概ね面一である場合には、支持体4の第1長壁部411aが取付部材5の固定部53側を向くように、取付部材5の受け部51を支持体4に嵌め込む。これにより、支持体4の第1長壁部411aが、取付部材5の第1延在面551よりも貯水タンク1側にせり出すため、支持体4と蓋体12との間が離れすぎるのを抑制することができる。
(4) In the above example, since the lid 12 protrudes from the tank body 11, the receiving portion of the mounting member 5 is mounted so that the second long wall portion 411b of the support 4 faces the fixing portion 53 side of the mounting member 5. 51 is fitted in the support 4 . This prevents the support 4 and the lid 12 from interfering with each other. On the other hand, when the side surface of the lid 12 and the side of the tank body 11 are substantially flush as shown in FIG. The receiving portion 51 of the mounting member 5 is fitted into the support 4 so as to face. As a result, the first long wall portion 411a of the support 4 protrudes further toward the water storage tank 1 than the first extension surface 551 of the mounting member 5, thereby preventing the support 4 and the lid 12 from being too far apart. can do.
このように、本実施形態に係る取付部材5及び支持体4では、蓋体12のせり出しの有無に応じて、取付部材5に対する支持体4の向きを変えることができる。したがって、蓋体12と支持体4との干渉を防止したり、あるいは蓋体12と支持体4との距離が開きすぎないように配置することができる。
Thus, with the mounting member 5 and the support 4 according to this embodiment, the orientation of the support 4 with respect to the mounting member 5 can be changed depending on whether or not the lid 12 protrudes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent interference between the lid body 12 and the support body 4 or arrange the lid body 12 and the support body 4 so that the distance between the lid body 12 and the support body 4 is not too large.
(5)チューブ6が取付部材5によって、受け部の排出孔よりも下方に位置するように支持されているため、次の効果を得ることができる。例えば、図24に示すように、チューブの一部が受け部の排出孔よりも上方に位置する場合には、排出孔から滴下された薬液は、チューブにおいて排出孔よりも上方に位置する部分と排出孔との間に溜まるため、サイフォンの原理により溜まった薬液が一気に流れ出るおそれがある。
(5) Since the tube 6 is supported by the mounting member 5 so as to be positioned below the discharge hole of the receiving portion, the following effects can be obtained. For example, as shown in FIG. 24, when a portion of the tube is positioned above the discharge hole of the receiving part, the liquid medicine dripped from the discharge hole will be discharged from the portion of the tube positioned above the discharge hole. Since it accumulates between the discharge hole, there is a risk that the accumulated chemical liquid may flow out at once due to the siphon principle.
一方、図25に示すように、チューブ6が、受け部51の排出孔512よりも下方に位置していれば、ガイド板46から受け51部に滴下される薬液は、空気と交互にチューブ6内に入るため、チューブ6から貯水タンク1内に少量ずつ薬液を供給することができる。
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25, if the tube 6 is positioned below the discharge hole 512 of the receiving portion 51, the liquid medicine dripped from the guide plate 46 to the receiving portion 51 will flow through the tube 6 alternately with air. Since it enters inside, the chemical liquid can be supplied little by little from the tube 6 into the water storage tank 1 .
(6)取付部材5において、チューブ6が配置される案内部材557、湾曲面552、第2延在面553、及び固定部53は、曲面または平坦面によって形成されているため、角を有していない。したがって、チューブ6が折れ曲がるのを防止することができる。その結果、チューブ6にキンクが生じるのを抑制できるため、チューブ6内に薬液をスムーズに流すことができる。
(6) In the mounting member 5, the guide member 557 on which the tube 6 is arranged, the curved surface 552, the second extending surface 553, and the fixing portion 53 are formed by curved surfaces or flat surfaces, and thus have corners. not Therefore, bending of the tube 6 can be prevented. As a result, the tube 6 can be prevented from being kinked, so that the liquid medicine can flow smoothly into the tube 6 .
(7)ガイド板46は、支持体4の筐体41の内部において、第2長壁部411bと向き合っている。そのため、ガイド板46を伝う薬液の一部は、ガイド板46上で揮散する。そのため、筐体の開口413から芳香成分が外部に流れるため、芳香効果を得ることができる。
(7) The guide plate 46 faces the second long wall portion 411b inside the housing 41 of the support 4 . Therefore, part of the chemical liquid flowing along the guide plate 46 volatilizes on the guide plate 46 . Therefore, since the aromatic component flows to the outside from the opening 413 of the housing, an aromatic effect can be obtained.
(8)支持体4のガイド板46の真下には、受け部51の排出孔512が配置されず、受け部51の凹部511のすり鉢状の底面が配置される。したがって、ガイド板46を伝う薬液は、排出孔512に直接入らず、すり鉢状の底面に滴下される。そのため、この底面上で薬液の一部は揮散するため、芳香効果を得ることができる。
(8) Immediately below the guide plate 46 of the support 4, the discharge hole 512 of the receiving portion 51 is not arranged, and the mortar-shaped bottom surface of the concave portion 511 of the receiving portion 51 is arranged. Therefore, the chemical liquid flowing along the guide plate 46 does not directly enter the discharge hole 512 and is dripped onto the mortar-shaped bottom surface. Therefore, a part of the chemical solution volatilizes on this bottom surface, so that an aromatic effect can be obtained.
(9)取付部材5に蓋体12が設置され、蓋体12によってチューブ6が押圧されたとしても、その箇所(設置部)においてチューブ6は溝に収容されているため、完全には押し潰されない。したがって、チューブ6内に薬液をスムーズに流すことができる。また、取付部材5は可撓性を有しているため、蓋体12に押圧されると、溝は縮径される。これにより、溝の内壁面とチューブ6とが密着するため、チューブ6を溝に対してしっかりと固定することができる。
(9) Even if the lid 12 is installed on the mounting member 5 and the tube 6 is pressed by the lid 12, the tube 6 is accommodated in the groove at that location (installation portion), so that it is completely crushed. not. Therefore, the liquid medicine can flow smoothly into the tube 6 . Moreover, since the mounting member 5 is flexible, when it is pressed against the lid 12, the diameter of the groove is reduced. As a result, the inner wall surface of the groove and the tube 6 are in close contact with each other, so that the tube 6 can be firmly fixed to the groove.
