Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a water faucet device that supplies and stops water to a bathroom or a toilet.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional water stopcock device provided with a filter, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical filter 106 mounted on a lid 106 is disposed so as to wrap the shaft of the on-off valve 103, and the lid is screwed onto the main body 101. 105 is coaxial with the shaft of the on-off valve 103, and the shaft of the lid 105 and the on-off valve 103 rotates independently when the filter 106 is removed and when the on-off valve 103 is opened / closed.
[0003]
Further, the removal operation of the filter 106 and the opening / closing operation of the on-off valve 103 are performed by a tool such as a screwdriver or a dedicated tool by providing grooves on the shafts of the lid 105 and the on-off valve 103.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional configuration described above, in the event of a water leakage accident downstream of the on-off valve, even if the on-off valve 103 is to be closed, inundation damage spreads while looking for a driver or special tool, and the surrounding floor or wall is damaged. Not only that, but if an accident happens upstairs, it will cause damage downstairs.
[0005]
Further, when cleaning the filter 106 due to dust clogging, the lid 105 can be removed without closing the groove of the lid 105 by the shaft of the on-off valve 103 without necessarily closing the on-off valve 103 completely. There is a problem that water is spouted when the lid 105 is accidentally opened without completely closing the valve 103.
[0006]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to be able to immediately close the on-off valve even if a water leakage accident occurs downstream of the on-off valve. An object of the present invention is to provide a water faucet device in which the lid of the filter is not taken off when is opened.
[0007]
[Means, actions and effects for solving the problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in claim 1, a main body in which a passage through which water flows is formed, an on-off valve that opens and closes the passage disposed in the main body, a lever handle that operates the on-off valve, In a water stop cock device comprising a lid fixed to the main body in the vicinity of the on-off valve and a filter removable by removing the lid, when the on-off valve is open, a lever portion of the lever handle the lid and the have at least some overlap case, the when the on-off valve is closed and so do not overlap with the lid and lever portion of the lever handle.
[0008]
According to the above invention, since the lever handle is provided to improve the operability of the on-off valve, the on-off valve can be immediately closed even if a water leakage accident occurs downstream of the on-off valve. Damage can be minimized, and when the on-off valve is open, the lever part of the lever handle and the cover overlap at least partly, so when removing the cover by cleaning the filter etc. When the on-off valve is open, if the lever and cover overlap, the lever will be in the way when you remove the cover with a tool, so close the on-off valve and remove the filter cover so that it does not get in the way. It is possible to prevent water from being accidentally ejected by directing it.
[0009]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, when the on-off valve is opened, the lever portion of the lever handle faces the direction of water flow.
[0010]
According to the above invention, when the on-off valve is opened, the lever portion of the lever handle is directed in the direction of water flow, so that the lever portion is in the direction of water flow when the lid is removed by filter cleaning or the like. If it is facing, it can be judged from the image that the on-off valve is open. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water from being accidentally ejected by closing the on-off valve and then removing the filter cover. Can do.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a water stop cock device showing an embodiment of the present invention.
Water flows in from the lower part of the main body 1 and flows out from the upper part of the main body 1 through the on-off valve 3 and the filter 6. The on-off valve 3 and the lever handle 2 are fastened by a bolt 4, the filter 6 is press-fitted to the lid 5, and the lid 5 is fixed to the main body 1 by screwing.
[0013]
The on-off valve 3 opens when the lever portion of the lever handle 2 is directed in the direction in which water flows (upward in FIG. 1), and rotates about 90 degrees clockwise from the direction in which water flows (rightward in FIG. 1). ) To close.
[0014]
The on-off valve 3 and the filter 6 are brought as close as possible so that when the on-off valve 3 is opened, at least a part of the lever portion of the lever handle 2 and the lid 5 of the filter 6 overlap each other.
[0015]
When removing the filter 6 by cleaning or the like, the lid 5 is removed by inserting a screwdriver or a special tool into a groove provided in the lid 5 and rotating it, for example.
[0016]
As described above, since the lever handle 2 is provided to improve the operability of the on-off valve 3, the on-off valve 3 can be immediately closed even in the event of a water leakage accident downstream of the on-off valve 3. Inundation damage can be minimized.
[0017]
Further, when the on-off valve 3 is open, the lever portion of the lever handle 2 is directed in the direction of water flow, so that the lever portion flows in the direction of water when the cover 5 is removed by cleaning the filter 6 or the like. Since it can be determined from an image that the on-off valve 3 is open, if the on-off valve 3 is closed and the cover 5 of the filter 6 is removed, water is accidentally ejected. This can be prevented.
[0018]
Alternatively, when the on-off valve 3 is opened, the lever portion of the lever handle 2 and the lid of the filter 6 are at least partially overlapped, so that the on-off valve can be removed when removing the lid 5 by cleaning the filter 6 or the like. If the lever 3 and the lid 5 overlap each other when the cover 3 is open, the lever will be in the way when the lid is removed with a tool. Therefore, the on-off valve 3 is closed so as not to disturb the lid 5 of the filter 6. It is possible to prevent the water from being accidentally spouted by turning it off.
[0019]
In the above-described embodiment, the on-off valve 3 is arranged at the lower part of the main body 1 and the filter 6 is arranged at the upper part of the main body 1. However, when the inflow and outflow directions of water are the same as in the embodiment, the on-off valve 3 and the filter 6 are When the on-off valve 3 is opened side by side, the lever portion of the lever handle 2 faces the direction of the lid 5 of the filter 6 arranged either upward (in the direction of water flow) or left and right. For example, the position and direction of the on-off valve 3 and the filter 6 and the direction of the lever portion of the lever handle 2 when the on-off valve 3 is opened and closed are not limited.
[0020]
In the embodiment described above, the opening / closing valve 3 and the filter 6 are integrally disposed on the main body 1, but the opening / closing valve 3 and the filter 6 may be disposed separately by dividing the main body 1.
[0021]
In the above-described embodiment, when the on-off valve 3 is opened, the lever portion of the lever handle 2 and the lid 5 of the filter 6 are at least partially overlapped. You may make it overlap so that the whole lid | cover 5 may be covered. In that case, when the on-off valve 3 is opened, the lid 5 cannot be completely removed, and water is not ejected.
