no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0042] figure 1 It is an explanatory diagram showing the faucet device according to the first embodiment.

[0043] like figure 1 As shown, the faucet device 10 is a device that detects an object (human body, object, etc.) and automatically spits water and stops water, and performs water spout and water stop with respect to a washbasin 11 installed on a washstand.

[0044] The washbasin 11 is installed above the washstand 12 . On the washstand 12 is provided a water tap 13 (spouting unit) constituting a spout for spouting water from the bowl surface 11 a of the washbowl 11 . The faucet 13 has a water discharge port 13 a for discharging water, and is provided so as to discharge the water discharged from the water discharge port 13 a into the bowl surface 11 a of the washbowl 11 .

[0045] The water spouted by the faucet 13 from the spout port 13 a is supplied through the water supply channel 14 . The water supply path 14 guides water supplied from a water supply source such ...

Abstract

A faucet apparatus including a water discharger, a water supply path, an opening / closing valve, a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller, where the water discharger has a water discharge port discharging water, the water supply path guides the water from a water supply source to the water discharge port, the opening / closing valve opens and closes the water supply path, the transmitter transmits an optical signal, the receiver receives a reflected signal of the optical signal and outputs a received signal corresponding to the reflected signal, the controller detects an existence or absence of an object based on the received signal and controls opening and closing of the opening / closing valve according to a detection result of the object.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the invention generally relate to hydrant devices. Background technique [0002] There is a faucet device that automatically controls water spouting and water stoppage by detecting an object such as a user's hand with a sensor and driving an on-off valve. The faucet device transmits an optical signal such as infrared rays, receives a reflected signal of the optical signal reflected by an object, and detects the presence of the object when the received light amount of the reflected signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, and starts spouting water. [0003] In such a faucet device, by providing polarizing plates on the transmitting side and the receiving side, misspraying of water due to incident specularly reflected light is suppressed (for example, Patent Document 1). [0004] For example, a polarizer in the vertical direction is installed on the transmitting side to transmit linearly polarized light in the vertical direction as an optica...
