[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-purpose spout conversion device capable of converting the spout of a faucet for multi-purpose use, a shower member holder for holding the multi-purpose spout conversion device on a faucet, and faucet equipment with a water purification function, in which the water purification function is added to a faucet equipped with the multi-purpose spout conversion device.
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, for example, a water purifier has been attached to the tip end of a domestic water faucet. As shown in Patent Document 1, for example, this type of water purifier is configured by attaching a water purifier main body (1) to the tip end of a spout (18). A filtration cartridge (3) is attached to a side portion of the water purifier main body (1). A straight hole that directly discharges tap water (raw water) in a straight stream is provided at the center of the lower surface of the water purifier main body (1), and a large number of shower holes that discharge tap water (raw water) in a shower pattern are formed around the straight hole. Further, a large number of purified water discharge ports (14) that discharge purified water filtered by the filtration cartridge (3) in a shower pattern are formed on the lower surface of the filtration cartridge (3).
[0003] In the above water purifier, by swinging a lever (6) provided on the water purifier main body (1) to switch between three different positions, tap water from the spout (18) can be switched to be discharged straight as it is from the straight hole on the lower surface of the water purifier main body (1), discharged in a shower pattern from the shower holes on the lower surface of the water purifier main body (1), or discharged as purified water in a shower pattern from the purified water discharge ports (14) on the lower surface of the filtration cartridge (3).

Summary of the Invention
Problem to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] In a water purifier with the structure described above, for example, if you want to clean the entire sink with a water tap using a shower-like stream of water, you would want to use the shower-like stream of water discharged from the shower holes on the bottom of the water purifier body (1).
[0006] However, since the shower holes are fixed in a position facing the bottom of the sink, even if the spout (18) is capable of swinging from side to side, the shower-like water can only be discharged downwards within the range of the spout's swing. This resulted in a limited area within the sink where the shower-like water could be sprayed, making it inconvenient to use.
[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and its purpose is to provide a simple spout multi-purpose changer, shower member holder, and faucet equipment with a water purification function that can easily dispense tap water directly from the spout, dispense it in a shower-like manner, and dispense tap water in a shower-like manner that reaches the entire sink. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The present invention relates to a multi-purpose outlet changer for a faucet, comprising: an outlet head with a flow path switching mechanism that is attached to the outlet of a faucet and incorporates a flow path switching mechanism that switches the tap water discharged from the outlet between a first flow path and a second flow path, the outlet head being detachably attached to the portion that discharges tap water from the first flow path and the second flow path, the outlet head being detachably attached to the portion that discharges tap water from the first flow path and the portion that discharges tap water from the second flow path, the outlet state changing member being configured to have a tap water direct discharge hole positioned opposite to the first flow path for discharging tap water as is, and a shower discharge hole consisting of a plurality of holes positioned opposite to the second flow path for discharging tap water in a shower-like manner, and further comprising a hose attachment pipe attached so as to protrude outward from the tap water direct discharge hole, and a shower member having a hose with one end detachably connected to the hose attachment pipe of the outlet state changing member, and a shower head connected to the other end of the hose. According to the present invention, during normal use of the faucet, the spout head with a flow path switching mechanism is switched between the first flow path and the second flow path, thereby either discharging tap water directly from the spout head with the flow path switching mechanism or discharging tap water in a shower-like manner. On the other hand, if you want to clean the inside of a sink, for example, you connect the hose of the shower component to the hose attachment pipe provided on the outflow state changing component, and switch the spout head with the flow path switching mechanism to the first flow path. As a result, tap water is discharged in a shower-like manner from the shower head of the shower component, and the shower can be sprayed towards the area to be cleaned, such as the inside of a sink. According to the present invention, when the shower member is not in use, it can be removed from the hose connection pipe of the discharge state changing member. Therefore, the operation of switching between a straight stream of tap water and a shower stream of tap water directly from the spout head with a flow path switching mechanism can be performed smoothly without the shower member obstructing it. Furthermore, since the discharge state changing component can be detachably attached to the discharge head with a flow path switching mechanism, it can be easily replaced with conventional discharge state changing components that do not have a hose connection pipe attached. Furthermore, instead of connecting the shower component to the spout head with a flow path switching mechanism by providing a separate switching flow path, this structure utilizes the first flow path to connect to it. This prevents the structure of the flow path switching mechanism from becoming even more complex by increasing the number of switching flow paths, thereby suppressing increased costs and the need to enlarge the spout head with a flow path switching mechanism.
[0009] In addition to the above configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the outflow state changing member is plate-shaped, the direct tap water discharge hole is formed in the center of the outflow state changing member, a plurality of shower discharge holes are formed around the direct tap water discharge hole, and a hose fitting is installed at one end of the hose attachment pipe and one end of the hose, respectively, to detachably connect the two. According to the present invention, the hose connection pipe is positioned to protrude outward from the center of the plate-shaped outflow state changing member, and shower discharge holes are provided in the outflow state changing member surrounding it. Therefore, with the shower member removed, there is no risk of the hose connection pipe obstructing the flow of tap water discharged straight from the direct tap water discharge hole and the flow of tap water discharged in a shower-like manner from the shower discharge hole, and both flows can be carried out smoothly. Furthermore, the hose connection pipe and one end of the hose can be easily attached and detached.
[0010] The present invention relates to a shower member holder installed on a faucet to which the above-mentioned multi-purpose spout changer is attached, and which holds the shower member, characterized in that it has an arm portion attached to the spout of the faucet, a shower head holder portion attached to one end of the arm portion for detachably holding the shower head, and a hose holder portion attached to the other end of the arm portion for detachably holding the end of the hose opposite to the end to which the shower head is attached. According to the present invention, the shower component can be easily retained in the faucet when not in use. In this configuration, the ends of the shower component are held by both ends of the arm attached to the spout of the faucet. This balances the weight on the arm on both sides of the spout, allowing the shower component to be held stably in place on the spout.
[0011] The present invention is a water purification faucet system comprising the above-mentioned faucet, a spout head with a flow path switching mechanism attached to the faucet, a discharge state changing member detachably attached to the spout head with the flow path switching mechanism, a filtration device connected to the side of the spout head with the flow path switching mechanism, and the shower member, wherein the flow path switching mechanism built into the spout head with the flow path switching mechanism is a flow path switching mechanism that switches the flow path to a third flow path that discharges the tap water discharged from the spout directly, a second flow path that discharges it in a shower-like manner, and a shower member holder that holds the shower member, and furthermore, a shower member holder that holds the shower member is attached to the spout of the faucet. According to the present invention, by simply discharging tap water directly from a spout head with a flow path switching mechanism attached to a faucet, discharging tap water in a shower-like manner, discharging purified water via a water purifier, or connecting the hose of the shower member to a hose connection pipe provided on the discharge state changing member, it is possible to discharge tap water in a shower-like manner from the shower head of the shower member to clean, for example, the inside of a sink. [Effects of the Invention]
[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to easily achieve three different ways of discharging tap water from the spout of a faucet: discharging it directly, discharging it in a shower-like manner, and discharging tap water in a shower-like manner to reach the entire sink, simply by switching between the first and second flow paths.

[Figure 6] It is an explanatory diagram of how to use faucet equipment 100 with a water purification function. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one configuration example of faucet equipment 100 with a water purification function, in which a water purification function is added to a spout head 130 with a flow path switching mechanism (hereinafter also simply referred to as "spout head") provided with a multipurpose spout modifier 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of parts of the multipurpose spout modifier 1 and a shower member holder 60 in the faucet equipment 100 with a water purification function. As shown in these figures, the faucet equipment 100 with a water purification function comprises: the multipurpose spout modifier 1 configured including an outflow state changing member 10 and a shower member 30; the shower member holder 60 that holds the shower member 30; the spout head 130 attached to the spout 111 (see Fig. 3 described below) of a faucet 110 installed at a predetermined position around a sink S; and a filtering device 150 connected to a side portion of the spout head 130. In the following description, "upper" refers to the direction from the outflow state changing member 10 toward the spout head 130, and "lower" refers to the opposite direction, but this is not intended to limit the direction when using the multipurpose spout modifier 1 or the like.
[0015] The faucet 110 is installed at a predetermined position on the upper outer periphery of the sink S, and comprises a lever handle 113 for stopping tap water and adjusting the amount of discharged water, and a rod-shaped spout 115 protruding above the sink S from the position of the lever handle 113. The spout 115 is configured to be swingable with the portion of the lever handle 113 as a fulcrum. The tip end of the spout 115 serves as the spout 111 (see Fig. 3 described below).
[0016] The outflow state changing member 10 is configured by providing a tap water direct discharge hole 13 in the center of a substantially circular plate-shaped base plate portion 11, and providing shower discharge holes 15 formed of a plurality of small through-holes so as to surround the periphery of the tap water direct discharge hole 13. Furthermore, a hose attachment pipe 17 is attached to the tap water direct discharge hole 13 so as to protrude downward (outward) from the tap water direct discharge hole 13.
[0017] In this example, the tap water direct discharge hole 13 is a circular through-hole, and allows tap water to flow out directly from a first flow path A1 described below. In this example, the shower discharge holes 15 are formed by arranging a plurality of circular through-holes in a circumferential shape, and allow tap water to flow out in a shower form from a second flow path A2 described below. In this example, the hose attachment pipe 17 is a substantially cylindrical pipe, and a first hose joint 19 for detachably connecting a second hose joint 35 of a shower member 30 described below is provided on the outer periphery of the hose attachment pipe 17. The first hose joint 19 is formed by providing a ring-shaped recess on the outer periphery of the hose attachment pipe 17.
[0018] The shower member 30 is configured to include a hose 31 and a shower head 33 attached to one end of the hose 31. A second hose joint 35, which is detachably and watertightly connected to the first hose joint 19 of the hose attachment pipe 17, is attached to the end of the hose 31 opposite to the end where the shower head 33 is attached.
[0019] The second hose joint 35 has an insertion hole 37 into which the first hose joint 19 is inserted, and a locking mechanism (not shown) for locking the first hose joint 19 is provided inside the insertion hole 37. In this example, the shower head 33 has a substantially rod-shaped handle portion 39 and a head portion 41 connected to the distal end side of the handle portion 39. The head portion 41 is substantially cylindrical, and has a shower-shaped outflow port (not shown) for discharging tap water in a shower form on a lower surface thereof, and a tap water direct discharge hole (not shown) for discharging tap water directly, and a switching operation portion 43 for switching between the two is provided on an outer peripheral side surface of the head portion 41.
[0020] The shower member holder 60 comprises a holder body 61 and a fixing device 63 for fixing the holder body 61 to the spout 115 of the faucet 110. The holder body 61 comprises a plate-shaped arm portion 65 that is bent in a substantially L-shape, a shower head holder portion 67 provided on one end of the arm portion 65, and a hose holder portion 69 provided on the other end of the arm portion 65. The shower head holder portion 67 has two gripping arm portions 71, 71 that are installed so as to bend downward from both sides of the arm portion 65, and both gripping arm portions 71, 71 are bent in a substantially V-shape in the direction away from each other, and the space between the two bent and spread gripping arm portions 71, 71 is configured as a gripping portion 73. The hose holder portion 69 is configured by a recess provided on the tip side of the arm portion 65. The width of the recess is greater than the width of the hose 31 of the shower member 30 and smaller than the width of the second hose joint 35. The fixing device 63 is made of a rectangular plate, which is bent upwards in the center, with the recess on the bent lower side serving as the faucet insertion part 75 and the parts on both sides of the bent portion serving as mounting parts 77.
[0021] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the spout head 130 and filtration device 150 with the outflow state changing member 10 attached, and Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the outflow state changing member 10 shown in Figure 3 removed from the spout head 130. As shown in both figures, the upper part of the spout head 130 is attached to the spout 111 of the faucet 110. Inside the case 131 of the spout head 130, a flow path switching mechanism 133 is installed to switch the tap water introduced from the spout 111 to three flow paths (a first flow path A1, a second flow path A2, and a third flow path A3). The flow path is switched by rotating an operating lever 135 connected to the flow path switching mechanism 133 and protruding from the outside of the case 131. The outflow state changing member 10 is detachably attached to the lower surface of the spout head 130. The mounting structure will not be described in detail, but for example, it may be screwed in using screws provided near the outer circumference of the base portion 11 of the outflow state changing member 10, or it may be any other type of mounting structure.
[0022] The first flow path A1 is a flow path that flows downward from the portion of the outflow state changing member 10 attached to the spout head 130 that faces the direct tap water discharge hole 13. The second flow path A2 is a flow path that flows downward from the portion of the outflow state changing member 10 attached to the spout head 130 that faces the shower discharge hole 15. The third flow path A3 is a flow path that flows towards the filtration device 150 attached to the spout head 130.
[0023] The filtration device 150 houses filter media for purifying tap water, and is configured to purify tap water introduced through a tap water inlet 151 located on the side to which the spout head 130 is connected, by passing it through the filter media, and then discharging the purified water in a shower-like manner from a discharge port 153 consisting of multiple small holes located on its lower surface.
[0024] Next, the assembly method of this water purification faucet equipment 100 will be explained. First, attach the outflow state changing member 10 of the multi-purpose outlet changer 1 to the underside of the outlet head 130 shown in Figures 2 and 4, to the state shown in Figures 1 and 3.
[0025] Next, as shown in Figure 1, the middle portion of the spout 115 of the faucet 110 is sandwiched between the fixing device 63 and the arm portion 65 from above and below, and the two mounting portions 77, 77 of the fixing device 63 are brought into contact with the upper surface of the arm portion 65, and the two are fixed together with fixing means such as bolts and nuts (not shown). In this way, the shower member holder 60 is fixed in the middle position of the spout 115. At this time, the shower head holder portion 67 and hose holder portion 69 provided on both sides of the arm portion 65 are located on the left and right sides of the faucet 110 (and its spout 115).
[0026] When the shower component 30 is not in use, as shown in Figure 1, the handle portion 39 of the shower head 33 is inserted into the grip portion 73 of the shower head holder portion 67 to hold it in place, and at the same time, the base portion of the hose 31 of the second hose connector 35 is inserted into the recess that constitutes the hose holder portion 69 to hold it in place. This configuration ensures that both ends of the shower component 30 are held on both the left and right sides of the faucet 110 (its spout 115), thus balancing the force and allowing the shower component 30 to be stably held on the faucet 110. This completes the assembly of the water purification faucet equipment 100. It goes without saying that the above assembly procedure is just one example, and other different assembly procedures may be used.
[0027] In this state, for example, when using tap water normally at home, the operating lever 135 is rotated to the position of the first flow path A1, opening the lever handle 113, which causes tap water to flow straight out from the lower end of the hose connection pipe 17 through the tap water direct discharge hole 13 of the outflow state changing member 10 shown in Figure 3. On the other hand, by rotating the operating lever 135 to the position of the second flow path A2, opening the lever handle 113, tap water is discharged in a shower-like manner through the shower discharge hole 15 of the outflow state changing member 10 shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, by rotating the operating lever 135 to the position of the third flow path A3, opening the lever handle 113, purified water is discharged in a shower-like manner from the discharge hole 153 of the filtration device 150 shown in Figure 3.
[0028] Next, for example, when cleaning the entire sink S in which the faucet 110 is installed, even if tap water is directly discharged in a shower-like manner from the spout head 130 through the shower discharge hole 15, it is not possible to cover the entire sink S with tap water. Therefore, the shower member 30 is removed from the shower member holder 60, the hose attachment pipe 17 of the outflow state changing member 10 is inserted into the insertion hole 37 of the second hose fitting 35, and connected to the first hose fitting 19. The state at this time is shown in Figure 5.
[0029] Then, by rotating the operating lever 135 to the position that becomes the first flow path A1 and opening the lever handle 113, tap water flows out in a shower-like manner from the shower head 33 via the hose connection pipe 17 of the outflow state changing member 10 and the hose 31 of the shower member 30. Of course, by operating the switching operation unit 43, the tap water can also be discharged straight out of the shower head 33. In this case, since the hose 31 is long and flexible, the tap water can be easily discharged to all parts of the sink S.
[0030] After the washing of the sink S by the shower member 30 is completed, the lever handle 113 is closed, the connections of the first and second hose fittings 19 and 35 are disconnected, and the shower member 30 is held in the shower member holder 60 as shown in Figure 1, and normal use is resumed by discharging water from the spout head 130 or the filtration device 150.
[0031] Note that when not in use, the shower component 30 may be stored in any other location instead of being held in the shower component holder 60. In this case, the spout head 130 and filtration device 150 will be used as normal, as shown in Figure 6.
[0032] As described above, the spout multi-purpose changer 1 is configured as a discharge state changing member 10, which is attached to the spout 111 of the faucet 110 and incorporates a flow path switching mechanism 133 that switches the tap water discharged from the spout 111 between a first flow path A1 and a second flow path A2, and is detachably attached to the part of the spout head 130 that discharges tap water from the first flow path A1 and the second flow path A2, and is positioned opposite the first flow path A1 to form a tap water direct discharge hole 13 that discharges tap water as is, and is positioned opposite the second flow path A2 to form a shower discharge hole 15 consisting of a plurality of holes that discharge tap water in a shower-like manner, and is further configured as a discharge state changing member 10 which is attached so as to protrude outward (downward) from the tap water direct discharge hole 13, and a hose attachment pipe 17 which is attached so as to protrude outward (downward) from the tap water direct discharge hole 13, and a shower member 30 which has a hose 31 whose one end is detachably connected to the hose attachment pipe 17 of the discharge state changing member 10, and a shower head 33 which is connected to the other end of the hose 31.
[0033] With this multi-purpose spout changer 1, when the shower member 30 is not in use, it can be removed from the hose connection pipe 17 of the outflow state changer 10. Therefore, the operation of switching between a straight stream of tap water and a shower stream of tap water directly from the spout head 130 is not hindered by the shower member 30, enabling smooth operation. Furthermore, since the outflow state changer 10 can be detachably attached to the spout head 130 with a flow path switching mechanism, it can be easily replaced from conventional outflow state changers that do not have a hose connection pipe 17 attached. In addition, since the shower member 30 is connected to the first flow path A1 rather than being connected to the spout head 130 by providing a separate switching flow path, it is possible to prevent the structure of the flow path switching mechanism 133 from becoming more complex by increasing the number of switching flow paths, thereby suppressing increased costs and the enlargement of the flow path switching mechanism 133.
[0034] Furthermore, the outlet state changing member 10 of the multi-purpose outlet changer 1 is plate-shaped, the direct tap water discharge hole 13 is formed in the center of the outlet state changing member 10, and multiple shower discharge holes 15 are formed around the direct tap water discharge hole 13. Therefore, when the shower member 30 is removed, there is no risk that the flow of tap water discharged straight from the direct tap water discharge hole 13 and the flow of tap water discharged in a shower-like manner from the shower discharge holes 15 will be obstructed by the hose connection pipe 17. In addition, hose connectors 19 and 35 are installed at one end of the hose connection pipe 17 and one end of the hose 31, respectively, so that the hose connection pipe 17 and one end of the hose 31 can be easily attached and detached.
[0035] Furthermore, the shower member holder 60 is configured to include an arm portion 65 attached to the spout 115 of the faucet 110, a shower head holder portion 67 attached to one end of the arm portion 65 to detachably hold the shower head 33, and a hose holder portion 69 attached to the other end of the arm portion 65 to detachably hold the end of the hose 31 opposite to the one to which the shower head 33 is attached. Therefore, the shower member 30 can be easily held on the spout 115 of the faucet 110 when not in use. At that time, both ends of the shower member 30 are held on both ends of the arm portion 65 attached to the spout 115 of the faucet 110, so the weight on the arm portion 65 is balanced on both the left and right sides of the spout 115, and the shower member 30 can be stably held on the spout 115.
[0036] Furthermore, the above-mentioned water purification faucet equipment 100 comprises the faucet 110, a spout head 130 attached to the faucet 110, a spout multi-purpose changer 1 detachably attached to the spout head 130, a filtration device 150 connected to the side of the spout head 130, and the shower member 30. The flow path switching mechanism 133 built into the spout head 130 switches the flow path to a third flow path A3 that directs the tap water discharged from the spout 111 towards the filtration device 150, in addition to a first flow path A1 that allows the tap water to flow out directly, a second flow path A2 that allows it to flow out in a shower-like manner, and a third flow path A3 that directs the water towards the filtration device 150. The replacement mechanism 133 is further configured by attaching a shower member holder 60 for holding the shower member 30 to the spout 115 of the faucet 110. Therefore, it is possible to discharge tap water directly from the spout head 130, discharge tap water in a shower-like manner from the spout head 130, discharge purified water via the water purifier 150, or simply connect the hose 31 of the shower member 30 to the hose connection pipe 17 provided on the discharge state changing member 10 to discharge tap water in a shower-like manner from the shower head 33 of the shower member 30 to clean, for example, the inside of the sink S.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims, specification, and drawings. Furthermore, any shape, structure, or material not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as it achieves the function and effect of the present invention. For example, the faucet 110 uses a lever handle 113, but a faucet using a handle of any other structure, such as a rotary handle, may also be used. Also, the filtration device 150 is not necessarily required and may be omitted. In this case, the third flow path A3 becomes unnecessary. In the above embodiment, the tap water discharged from the shower head 33 of the shower member 30 is switched between a shower-like discharge and a straight discharge by a switching operation unit 43, but the switching operation unit 43 may be omitted, and a configuration that only allows for shower-like discharge may be used. In the above embodiment, the purified water discharged from the filtration device 150 is shower-like, but it may also be a straight discharge. Also, the spout 115 of the faucet 110 is swingable, but it may also be a fixed structure that does not swing. In the above embodiment, the shower member holder 60 is composed of a holder body 61 and a fixing device 63, but the mounting structure for attaching the holder body 61 to the spout 115 may be any other type of mounting structure. Also, in the above embodiment, the holder body 61 is composed of a single plate, but it may be composed of multiple plates connected together. Furthermore, the holder body 61 can be modified in various ways, such as being rod-shaped instead of plate-shaped.
[0038] Furthermore, the embodiments described above and shown in the figures can be combined, provided that there is no contradiction in their purpose and structure. Also, even if only a part of the descriptions above and shown in the figures is included, each can constitute an independent embodiment, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to a single embodiment that combines the above descriptions and figures.
