Description

本発明は、高い衛生管理状態を所望される、調理場等に最適化した水栓に関し、使用者が脚を用いて出水及び止水に係る操作を実行することができる械式脚用水栓に関する。 The present invention relates to a faucet optimized for a kitchen or the like, where a high hygiene control state is desired, and the present invention relates to a mechanical leg faucet capable of performing operations related to water discharge and water stoppage by a user using the legs. ..

従来、キッチン、洗面所等に設置されて上水道の出水及び止水に係る操作を行うための水栓は、熱湯や水等が通過する際の水圧やウォーターハンマー現象による破損を防止するため一般には金属から構成され、さらに錆や腐蝕を防止するため金属表面にメッキ等を施したものが使用されている(例えば、特許文献1特開2000-226869号参照)。 Conventionally, faucets installed in kitchens, washrooms, etc. for performing operations related to water discharge and water stoppage are generally used to prevent damage due to water pressure or water hammer phenomenon when hot water or water passes through. It is made of metal, and a metal surface plated or the like is used to prevent rust and corrosion (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-226869).

また、当該水栓の構造は、概ね上水の川上側の配管が接続された給水口から吐水口に連通する主水路と、当該主水路を開閉する弁と、当該弁の操作を行う操作ハンドルと、から構成されており、使用者は手を用いて操作ハンドルを動作させ、弁を操作することによって吐水口から出水又は止水を行っていた。 In addition, the structure of the faucet consists of a main water channel that connects the water supply port connected to the pipe on the upstream side of the tap water to the water discharge port, a valve that opens and closes the main water channel, and an operation handle that operates the valve. The user operated the operation handle with his / her hand and operated the valve to discharge or stop the water from the spout.

更に、大量の食品を加工する現場等では、手が食材以外に触れてしまうと雑菌が付着してしまうため、上記のように手を用いて操作を行う操作ハンドルを備えた水栓は敬遠される。このため、電気式のフットペダルスイッチを足先で踏むことにより出水又は止水操作を実行可能な電気式水栓が存在する(例えば、特許文献2特開2004-28259号参照)。 Furthermore, at sites where a large amount of food is processed, if the hand touches something other than the food, germs will adhere to it, so faucets equipped with an operation handle that is operated by hand as described above are avoided. To. Therefore, there is an electric faucet capable of executing water discharge or water stop operation by stepping on the electric foot pedal switch with the tip of the foot (see, for example, Patent Document 2, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-28259).

また、上記電気式水栓はイニシャルコスト及びメンテナンスコストから導入障壁が高くなるため、より容易に導入可能な機械式の脚操作水栓も一部で提案されている(例えば、特許文献3特開2001-295337号参照)。当該発明は、フットペダルに接続したワイヤの先端に球状部品を固定し、当該フットペダルの操作によって押し引き操作可能な球状部品を主水路内部から吐水口に当接させて構成されている。使用者の人力がフットペダル及びワイヤを通じて球状部品を動作させ、吐水口からの出水及び止水操作を実行するものである。 Further, since the introduction barrier of the electric faucet is high due to the initial cost and the maintenance cost, a mechanical leg-operated faucet that can be introduced more easily has been partially proposed (for example, Patent Document 3 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3). See 2001-295337). The present invention is configured by fixing a spherical component to the tip of a wire connected to the foot pedal and abutting the spherical component that can be pushed and pulled by operating the foot pedal from the inside of the main water channel to the spout. The human power of the user operates the spherical component through the foot pedal and the wire to execute the water discharge and stop operation from the spout.

特開2000-226869号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-226869 特開2004-28259号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-28259 特開2001-295337号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-295337

しかしながら、従来の水栓は、上述のとおり手を用いて出水及び止水操作を行うものが主流であり、一部に足を用いて操作を行うものが提供されているが、高コストとなる電気式や、機械式であっても主水路の開閉構造が単純で出水量を任意にコントロールできるものではなかった。特に大量の食品加工を行う調理現場では、工程や状況に応じて水の出水量コントロールが非常に重要視されるが、従来の水栓ではこれに対応することができなかった。 However, as described above, most of the conventional faucets are operated by using hands to discharge and stop water, and some of them are operated by using feet, but the cost is high. Even if it was an electric type or a mechanical type, the opening and closing structure of the main waterway was simple and the amount of water flow could not be controlled arbitrarily. Especially in a cooking site where a large amount of food is processed, control of the amount of water discharged is very important depending on the process and situation, but the conventional faucet cannot cope with this.

従来の水栓、特に既に提供されている足を用いて出水及び止水操作を行う機械式水栓の構造に着目すると、球状部品による吐水口の閉栓状態を変化させるものであって、使用者が容易に出水量をコントロールすることができないことは明らかであって、未だ改善の余地があった。 Focusing on the structure of conventional faucets, especially mechanical faucets that perform water discharge and water stop operations using the feet already provided, it changes the closed state of the spout by spherical parts, and the user. It was clear that the amount of water flow could not be easily controlled, and there was still room for improvement.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑みて創作されたものであり、使用者が脚を用いて出水又は止水操作を行え、出水量を容易かつ確実にコントロールすることができる安価な機械式脚用水栓を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention was created in view of the above problems, and is an inexpensive mechanical leg that allows the user to perform a water discharge or water stop operation using the leg and easily and surely control the water discharge amount. The purpose is to provide a faucet.

The user moves to the front side of the mechanical leg faucet 1, brings the knee tip and the toe into contact with the vicinity of the lower portion 5D of the operation lever 5, and presses from the rightmost position to the left side position in the closed state. By rotating it, the cap is opened. Further, when returning to the closed state, it can be performed by pressing from the left side to the rightmost position and rotating.

図8に示すとおり、操作レバー5の回動範囲(回転調整範囲)T3は、上述した筐体3のスリット17の範囲に限定される。スリット17の開口範囲を60度~150度の範囲とすることが好ましい。操作レバー5の回動範囲T3を上記範囲とすることで、使用者は脚を用いて容易に操作レバー5を操作することができる。 As shown in FIG. 8, the rotation range (rotation adjustment range) T3 of the operation lever 5 is limited to the range of the slit 17 of the housing 3 described above. The opening range of the slit 17 is preferably in the range of 60 degrees to 150 degrees. By setting the rotation range T3 of the operation lever 5 to the above range, the user can easily operate the operation lever 5 by using the legs.

操作レバー5を操作して開栓状態とすることで、給水口53から侵入した水が主弁7の第一通水孔57及び第二通水孔59を通過して主水路51に移送され、更に導水孔61を介して吐水口55に到着し、外部に出水される。また、閉栓状態とすることで、水が第一通水孔57及び第二通水孔59により堰き止められ、主水路51への移送が停止されて出水が停止する。 By operating the operation lever 5 to open the cap, the water that has entered from the water supply port 53 is transferred to the main water channel 51 through the first water passage hole 57 and the second water passage hole 59 of the main valve 7. Further, it arrives at the spout 55 through the water guide hole 61, and water is discharged to the outside. Further, in the closed state, the water is blocked by the first water passage hole 57 and the second water passage hole 59, the transfer to the main water channel 51 is stopped, and the water discharge is stopped.

なお、操作レバー5の回転位置によって主弁7の第一通水孔57と第二通水孔59との重複状態が調整されて開口率を任意に変更できるため、使用者は出水状況を確認しつつ出水量を段階的に変化させることができる。また、本実施形態では備えていないが、例えば本体部7Aと軸部7Bの天板とにおける回転方向の接触部に、等間隔の低いリブ等を互いに設け、所定の応力を加えることで双方が段階的に回転するよう構成すれば、上記開口率の調整時にクリック感等の手応えを使用者に提供し、出水量の調整をより確実かつ容易に行うことができる。また、上記クリック感が回動範囲を例えば5~10等分に区切って設定すれば、出水量をより定量的にコントロールすることができる。 The overlapping state of the first water passage hole 57 and the second water passage hole 59 of the main valve 7 can be adjusted by the rotation position of the operation lever 5 to arbitrarily change the opening ratio, so that the user can check the water discharge status. While doing so, the amount of water flow can be changed step by step. Further, although not provided in the present embodiment, for example, ribs or the like having low equal intervals are provided at the contact portion in the rotation direction between the main body portion 7A and the top plate of the shaft portion 7B, and both are applied by applying a predetermined stress. If it is configured to rotate stepwise, the user can be provided with a feeling of clicking when adjusting the aperture ratio, and the amount of water discharged can be adjusted more reliably and easily. Further, if the click feeling is set by dividing the rotation range into, for example, 5 to 10 equal parts, the amount of water discharge can be controlled more quantitatively.

以上、本実施形態における機械式脚用水栓1の代表的な実施形態について図面を参照しつつ説明してきたが、本発明は、これらの実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲の記載の精神及び教示を逸脱しない範囲でその他の変形例や改良例が存在し、これらは全て本発明の技術的範囲に含まれる。 Although the typical embodiment of the mechanical leg faucet 1 in the present embodiment has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and is within the scope of claims. There are other modifications and improvements to the extent that they do not deviate from the spirit and teachings described, all of which are within the technical scope of the invention.

本実施形態における機械式脚用水栓1は、使用者が脚を用いて出水又は止水操作を行え、出水量を容易かつ確実にコントロールすることができるものである。 The mechanical leg faucet 1 in the present embodiment allows the user to perform a water discharge or water stop operation using the legs, and can easily and surely control the amount of water discharge.
