Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In a configuration in which the faucet device and the upper cabinet are provided separately, the boundary between the case of the faucet device and the upper cabinet may be exposed in a front view. Therefore, the appearance of the washstand may deteriorate.

[0005] The present invention has been made based on the recognition of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a washstand capable of suppressing deterioration in appearance.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The first invention is a washstand comprising a washbowl, a faucet device attached to a wall of a building structure above the washbowl, and a mirror cabinet disposed above the faucet device. The faucet device includes an electrical component, a unit case housing the electrical component, a water discharge part provided on the unit case and discharging water toward the washbowl, and an interface part provided on the front surface of the unit case and having at least one of an input part for receiving a user's operation input and inputting it to the electrical component and an output part for displaying information from the electrical component. The mirror cabinet has an upper cabinet with an open front surface and a mirror door attached to the front surface of the upper cabinet so as to be openable and closable. The mirror door extends downward from the lower end of the upper cabinet. When the mirror door is closed, in a front view, the lower end part of the mirror door overlaps a part of the front surface of the unit case, and the boundary part between the upper cabinet and the unit case is concealed by the mirror door. The washstand is characterized in that the interface part is usable in a state where the mirror door is closed.

[0007] According to this washstand, in a configuration where the faucet device is provided separately from the mirror cabinet, the boundary part between the unit case and the upper cabinet can be concealed. Thereby, deterioration in appearance (reduction in the design property of the appearance) can be suppressed. For example, a sense of unity between the faucet device and the mirror cabinet can be produced, and the appearance is good. Also, for example, it is possible to suppress dust from adhering to the boundary part. Even if dust adheres to the boundary part, since the boundary part is concealed, deterioration in appearance can be suppressed. Moreover, the interface part provided on the faucet device can be used without opening the mirror door, which is convenient to use.

[0008] The second invention is the washstand according to the first invention, characterized in that in a front view, the upper end of the interface part and the lower end of the mirror door do not overlap.

[0009] According to this washstand, while hiding the boundary between the unit case and the upper cabinet, the interface part is more user-friendly.

[0010] A third invention is the washstand according to the second invention, wherein the unit case has an upper part and a protruding part protruding forward from the upper part, and the interface part is provided on the front surface of the protruding part.

[0011] According to this washstand, since the interface part is provided on the protruding part protruding forward, when a user standing in front of the washstand looks down at the interface part, at least a part of the interface part is hidden by the mirror door, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in visibility.

[0012] A fourth invention is the washstand according to the third invention, wherein the interface part has the input part, and the front surface of the protruding part is flush with the front surface of the mirror door in the closed state or is in front of the front surface of the mirror door in the closed state.

[0013] According to this washstand, when the mirror door is closed, there is no mirror door between the user in front of the washstand and the input part. That is, when the user performs an input operation on the input part, there is no mirror door on the movement line, and the operability is excellent.

[0014] A fifth invention is the washstand according to the third or fourth invention, wherein a gap is provided between the lower surface of the mirror door in the closed state and the upper surface of the protruding part, and the length of the gap in the vertical direction is longer than the length of the protruding part in the vertical direction.

[0015] According to this washstand, even when a protruding part is provided on the unit case, the user can easily open the mirror door by inserting a finger into the gap between the lower surface of the mirror door and the upper surface of the protruding part and touching the lower surface of the mirror door.

[0016] The sixth invention is a washstand according to any one of the first to fifth inventions, wherein the unit case has a rising portion that rises upward, and the rising portion overlaps the boundary portion in the front-rear direction.

[0017] According to this washstand, since the rising portion overlaps the boundary portion in the front-rear direction, even when the mirror door is open, the boundary portion is concealed by the rising portion in a front view. As a result, the impression that the unit case and the mirror cabinet are separate members can be suppressed, and the design property is improved. In addition, since the boundary portion is concealed, the adhesion of dust to the boundary portion can be suppressed.

Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to an aspect of the present invention, a washstand capable of suppressing deterioration in appearance is provided.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted as appropriate. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a washstand according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the washstand 10 includes a washbowl 12, a faucet device 14, a support base 16, and a mirror cabinet 18.

[0021] In the present specification, the descriptions of “upper”, “lower”, “right” and “left” refer to the upper, lower, right and left with reference to a person who views the washstand 10 in front of the washstand 10. Further, in the present specification, the direction from the washstand 10 toward a person in front of the washstand 10 is defined as the “front” direction, and the opposite direction is defined as the “rear” direction.

[0022] The washbowl 12 has a washbasin 22 and a back guard portion 24. The washbasin 22 is formed in a concave shape that is recessed downward. The washbasin 22 has a drain port 26. The drain port 26 is provided at the bottom of the washbasin 22. The drain port 26 is connected to a drain pipe and allows the water discharged into the washbasin 22 to flow into the drain pipe. The washbasin 22 has a drainage gradient that slopes downward toward the drain port 26.

[0023] The back guard portion 24 extends upward from the rear end of the washbasin 22. The back guard portion 24 is provided as needed and can be omitted. The shape of the washbowl 12 may be any shape having at least the washbasin 22.

[0024] The support base 16 is placed on the floor F of the building structure. For example, the support base 16 is placed on the floor of the room (such as a washroom or a dressing room) where the washbasin 10 is installed. The washbasin 12 is provided on the support base 16. The support base 16 supports the washbasin 12. The support base 16 has, for example, a main body portion 16a and two drawers 16b, 16c. The main body portion 16a is, for example, in the shape of an open box with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped that is open at the front and above. The upper opening of the main body portion 16a is blocked by the washbasin 12. At least a part of the washbowl 22 enters the main body portion 16a from the upper opening of the main body portion 16a.

[0025] Each drawer 16b, 16c is in the shape of an open box with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped that is open at the top. Each drawer 16b, 16c is supported by the main body portion 16a so as to be movable back and forth, and moves between a storage position (the position shown in FIG. 1) where it is stored in the main body portion 16a and a pulled-out position where it is pulled forward from the main body portion 16a. When each drawer 16b, 16c is in the storage position, it blocks the front opening of the main body portion 16a. And when each drawer 16b, 16c is in the pulled-out position, it can store articles inside.

[0026] In this way, the support base 16 also functions as a cabinet capable of storing articles. In other words, the support base 16 is a lower cabinet (floor cabinet). Note that the number of drawers is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. Also, the support base 16 is not limited to a drawer-type cabinet, and may be a door-type cabinet.

[0027] The support base 16 does not necessarily have to have a storage function. The support base 16 may have any configuration capable of supporting the washbasin 12. Also, the washbasin 12 may be directly attached to the wall W (such as the wall surface of a washroom or a dressing room) of the building structure. That is, the support base 16 is provided as needed and can be omitted.

[0028] The faucet device 14 is disposed above the washbowl 22 and the back guard portion 24. The faucet device 14 discharges water toward the washbowl 22 of the washbasin 12. For example, the upper end portion of the back guard portion 24 may be in contact with the unit case 46 of the faucet device 14. The faucet device 14 is directly or indirectly attached to the wall W of the building structure by a fixing member such as a bolt.

[0029] The mirror cabinet 18 is disposed above the faucet device 14. The mirror cabinet 18 has an upper cabinet 30 and three mirror doors 31 to 33. Mirrors 31a to 33a are provided on the front surfaces of the respective mirror doors 31 to 33. Note that the number of mirror doors provided in the mirror cabinet 18 is not limited to three, and may be one or two, or four or more.

[0030] The mirror cabinet 18 is attached to a support such as the wall W of the building structure by a fixing member such as a bolt. Not limited thereto, the mirror cabinet 18 may be attached to and supported by a support other than the wall W (for example, a separately provided counter or panel, or the support base 16).

[0031] Thus, the faucet device 14 is separate from the washbasin 12 and the mirror cabinet 18. The faucet device 14 does not have to be directly fixed to the washbasin 12 and the mirror cabinet 18. The faucet device 14 alone can be removed from the building structure without removing the washbowl 22 from the support base 16 or the mirror cabinet 18 from the support such as the wall W. This facilitates the maintenance of the faucet device 14.

[0032] FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are perspective views illustrating a part of the washstand according to the embodiment. In Fig. 2(a), the illustration of the mirror doors 31 to 33 is omitted. As shown in Fig. 2(a), the front surface of the upper cabinet 30 is open. The upper cabinet 30 is in the shape of an open box with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having an opening at the front, and articles can be stored inside. For example, the lower end portion of the upper cabinet 30 may be in contact with the unit case 46 of the faucet device 14. Each of the mirror doors 31 to 33 is detachably attached to the front surface of such an upper cabinet 30. In other words, each mirror door is attached to be able to open and close the opening 30p in front of the upper cabinet 30.

[0033] More specifically, each mirror door is movably attached between an open position where the opening and the inside of the upper cabinet 30 are exposed and a closed position (the position shown in Fig. 1) where the opening of the upper cabinet 30 is closed. For example, Fig. 2(b) shows a state where the mirror door 32 is in the open position. One side of the left and right sides of each of the mirror doors 31 to 32 is detachably attached to the upper cabinet 30 via a member 30s such as a slide hinge. Thereby, each of the mirror doors 31 to 33 is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable about the vertical direction as a rotation axis, and is movable between the closed position and the open position.

[0034] Fig. 3 is a front view illustrating a part of the washbasin dressing table according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the faucet device 14 has a water discharge part 42, a flow rate adjustment part 44, and a unit case 46.

[0035] The unit case 46 is the outer shell (housing) of the faucet device 14. The unit case 46 houses electrical components to be described later. The water discharge part 42 is provided on the unit case 46 and discharges water toward the washbowl 22. The water discharge part 42 is a so-called spout having a water discharge port.

[0036] The flow rate adjustment unit 44 adjusts the flow rate of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42. Further, the flow rate adjustment unit 44 adjusts the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42. The flow rate adjustment unit 44 has a flow rate adjustment lever 44a. The flow rate adjustment unit 44 adjusts the flow rate and temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 according to the operation of the flow rate adjustment lever 44a by the user. The mode of adjusting the flow rate and temperature in the flow rate adjustment unit 44 is not limited to the flow rate adjustment lever 44a, and may be any mode capable of adjusting the flow rate and temperature.

[0037] The water discharge unit 42 is connected to a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe via a hot and cold water mixing unit or the like in the internal space of the unit case 46 or the support base 16. The water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 is, for example, tap water (city water). The temperature adjustment of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 may be performed by an adjustment unit different from the flow rate adjustment unit 44. The flow rate adjustment unit 44 only needs to be able to adjust at least the flow rate of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42.

[0038] The unit case 46 covers at least a part of the water discharge unit 42 and the flow rate adjustment unit 44. The unit case 46 is, for example, box-shaped and extends in the left-right direction. The water discharge unit 42 is directly or indirectly attached to the unit case 46. The unit case 46 allows at least a part of the water discharge unit 42 and the flow rate adjustment unit 44 to enter its internal space and holds these parts.

[0039] The water discharge unit 42 is provided at the lower part of the unit case 46 and discharges water toward the lower washbowl 22. In this example, the water discharge unit 42 is attached to the lower part of the unit case 46 so as to protrude forward and downward from the lower surface 46b of the unit case 46. At least a part of the water discharge unit 42 may be built into the unit case 46. The water discharge unit 42 may be connected to a flexible hose and be removable from the unit case 46.

[0040] The flow rate adjustment lever 44a of the flow rate adjustment unit 44 is provided at the lower part of the unit case 46 and extends downward. The flow rate adjustment lever 44a is pivotally supported at its upper end so as to be swingable, for example, in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. For example, by swinging the flow rate adjustment lever 44a in the front-rear direction, the flow rate of the water discharged from the water discharge part 42 is adjusted, and by swinging the flow rate adjustment lever 44a in the left-right direction, the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge part 42 is adjusted.

[0041] The faucet device 14 may further include a functional water discharge part 60. The functional water discharge part 60 discharges functional water having a sterilizing action into the wash basin 22. The functional water discharge part 60 is provided at the lower part of the unit case 46 and discharges the functional water downward. The functional water discharge part 60 discharges the functional water, for example, toward the drain port 26 of the wash basin 22.

[0042] In the faucet device 14, for example, by discharging the functional water from the functional water discharge part 60 into the wash basin 22, the breeding of bacteria in the drain port 26 of the wash basin 22 and inside the drain port 26 can be suppressed. In the washstand 10 and the faucet device 14, for example, the drain port 26 and the inside of the drain port 26 can be sterilized to keep the washbasin 12 clean. Also, by discharging the functional water onto a toothbrush, a cup, etc., these can be sterilized.

[0043] The functional water discharge part 60 sprays the functional water in a mist form onto the wash basin 22, for example. The functional water discharge part 60 is, for example, a mist nozzle. The outer diameter (width of spread) of the mist-like functional water sprayed from the functional water discharge part 60 is larger than the opening diameter of the spray port of the functional water discharge part 60. The functional water discharge part 60 sprays the functional water in a conical shape, for example. Thereby, for example, the functional water can be attached to a wide range of the wash basin 22, and the washbasin 12 can be sterilized more appropriately. The form of the discharge of the functional water from the functional water discharge part 60 is not limited to the mist form, and may be in the form of droplets or a water stream.

[0044] Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) are perspective views illustrating a part of the washstand according to the embodiment. Fig. 4(a) shows the vicinity of the faucet device 14 as viewed obliquely from the front, and Fig. 4(b) shows the vicinity of the faucet device 14 as viewed obliquely from the rear. In Figs. 4(a) and 4(b), a part of the inside of the mirror cabinet 18 and the faucet device 14 is not shown.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 4(a), in this example, the unit case 46 has an upper part 46U and a protruding part 46L. The protruding part 46L is the lower part of the unit case 46 provided below the upper part 46U and protrudes forward from the upper part 46U. The protruding part 46L extends, for example, from the right end to the left end of the unit case 46. The front surface 46f of the unit case 46 includes the front surface 46Uf of the upper part 46U and the front surface 46Lf of the protruding part 46L. The front surface 46Lf is located forward of the front surface 46Uf. For example, the front surface 46f (the front surfaces 46Uf and 46Lf) of the unit case 46 is a surface extending parallel to the vertical direction. However, the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 does not necessarily have to be parallel to the vertical direction. The front surface 46f of the unit case 46 may be a surface facing forward (for example, a surface at least partially visible in a front view). Note that the protruding part 46L does not necessarily have to be provided.

[0046] More specifically, in this example, the unit case 46 includes a case member 47, a cover member 48, and a rear member 49. The case member 47 includes a left side wall 47h and a right side wall 47m. The left side wall 47h forms the left side surface of the unit case 46, and the right side wall 47m forms the right side surface of the unit case 46. Further, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the case member 47 includes a bottom plate 47b. The bottom plate 47b connects the lower part of the left side wall 47h and the lower part of the right side wall 47m, and forms the lower surface of the unit case 46. In this example, the bottom plate 47b has a curved shape that slopes downward from front to back. For example, the lower end of the left side wall 47h, the lower end of the right side wall 47m, and the bottom plate 47b abut against the upper end of the back guard part 24. For example, the upper ends of the left side wall 47h and the right side wall 47m abut against the lower end of the upper cabinet 30 (see FIG. 1). A part of the lower surface, the back surface, the front surface, and the upper surface of the case member 47 are open.

[0047] The rear member 49 includes a back plate part 49b and an extension part 49a. The back plate part 49b forms a part of the back surface of the unit case 46. The extension part 49a extends forward from the back plate part 49b to the cover member 48. The rear member 49 is fixed to the case member 47. As shown in FIG. 4(b), a hole 49d penetrating the back plate part 49b is provided in the back plate part 49b. A screw is inserted into the wall W of the building structure through the hole 49d from the front of the back plate part 49b. Thereby, the faucet device 14 can be attached to the wall W of the building structure.

[0048] The cover member 48 is arranged to cover the front of the case member 47. For example, the cover member 48 is attached to the front end of the extension part 49a. The cover member 48 forms the front surface 46f of the unit case 46. That is, the front surface of the cover member 48 is the front surface 46f of the unit case 46.

[0049] Thus, the unit case 46 may be assembled from a plurality of members. Any means such as fixing members like screws, snap fits, adhesives, etc. may be used for assembly. The unit case 46 may be appropriately divided into a plurality of members or may be integrally formed. At least a part of the upper and rear portions of the unit case 46 may be open.

[0050] Inside the unit case 46, an electrical component 70 (see FIG. 6) is housed. The electrical component 70 includes, for example, an electric circuit that controls the functions (operations) of the faucet device 14. More specifically, the electrical component 70 includes a control unit 71 (see FIG. 6) that controls the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42, controls the water discharge and stop from the water discharge unit 42, and controls the water discharge and stop from the functional water discharge unit 60.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4(a), the faucet device 14 further has an interface unit 61. The interface unit 61 is provided on the front surface 46f of the unit case 46. In this example, the interface unit 61 is provided on the front surface 46Lf of the protruding portion 46L. The interface unit 61 is electrically connected to the electrical component 70.

[0052] FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b) are front views illustrating the interface unit of the faucet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 5(a) shows an enlarged view of the region R1 shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5(b) shows an enlarged view of the region R2 shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the interface unit 61 has at least one of an input unit 63 and an output unit 65.

[0053] The input unit 63 receives the operation input of the user and inputs it to the electrical component 70. This operation input is, for example, an input for operating the operation (function) of the faucet device controlled by the electrical component 70. For example, the input unit 63 is a switch or sensor for the user to control the operation (function) of the faucet device 14. When the input unit 63 receives the operation input, an operation signal corresponding to the operation input is transmitted to the electrical component 70. When receiving the operation signal, the electrical component 70 controls the operation (function) corresponding to the operation signal.

[0054] Any device capable of inputting an operation signal to the electrical component 70 can be used for the input unit 63. For example, for the input unit 63, a switch (such as a push button) that turns the contact on and off by mechanical operation, a capacitive switch, a touch panel, or a photoelectric sensor can be used.

[0055] In this example, a substrate having a capacitive switch electrically connected to the electrical component 70 by a harness or the like is disposed on the back of the cover member 48 (inside the unit case 46). As an operation input, when the user touches a predetermined area 63r on the front surface 46Lf of the cover member 48, the operation input is detected by the capacitive switch. Then, an operation signal corresponding to the operation input is transmitted from the capacitive switch to the electrical component 70. In such a case, the predetermined area 63r may be regarded as a part of the input unit 63. In other words, the input unit 63 may include a part of the cover member 48.

[0056] Not limited to this, the input unit 63 may be a switch or sensor separate from the cover member 48. For example, an opening may be provided in the cover member 48, and a switch or the like may be fitted into the opening as the input unit 63. Or, the input unit 63 may be a switch or the like attached to the front surface of the cover member 48.

[0057] A plurality of input units 63 may be provided. In this example, as shown in Fig. 5(a), a hot water preparation switch 63a, an automatic water discharge switch 63b, and a functional water switch 63c are provided as the input unit 63.

[0058] The warm water preparation switch 63a is used to switch the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge part 42. When the warm water preparation switch 63a is operated, the water discharge part 42 automatically discharges water until the discharged water becomes warm water (for example, about 30°C). For example, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, the control part 71 included in the electrical component 70 controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valves 80, 81 (see FIG. 6) that supply water or hot water to the water discharge part 42, and the operation of the electric instant water heater 104 (see FIG. 6). Thereby, the control part 71 makes the water discharged from the water discharge part 42 into warm water.

[0059] The automatic water discharge switch 63b is used to switch the on / off of the automatic water discharge function. When the automatic water discharge switch 63b is operated and the automatic water discharge function is turned on, if the user puts a hand under the water discharge part 42, water is discharged from the water discharge part 42. For example, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, when the hand detection sensor 76 detects (senses) the user's hand, the control part 71 opens the electromagnetic valves 80, 81 connected to the water supply source or the hot water supply source. Thereby, the user can use water just by holding a hand without operating the flow rate adjustment lever 44a. When the automatic water discharge switch 63b is operated and the automatic water discharge function is turned off, even if the user puts a hand under the water discharge part 42, no water is discharged.

[0060] The functional water switch 63c is used to switch the discharge stop of the functional water from the functional water discharge part 60. The faucet device 14 discharges functional water from the functional water discharge part 60 according to the operation of the functional water switch 63c by the user. The faucet device 14, for example, sprays the functional water for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) according to the operation of the functional water switch 63c, and automatically stops spraying the functional water according to the elapse of the predetermined time. For example, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, according to the operation of the functional water switch 63c, the control part 71 controls the functional water generation part 88 built in the faucet device 14, and controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 86 that supplies the functional water.

[0061] The faucet device 14 may, for example, spray functional water upon the first operation of the functional water switch 63c, and stop spraying the functional water upon the second operation of the functional water switch 63c. Further, the faucet device 14 may have a functional water automatic discharge function. When the functional water automatic discharge function is on, for example, the functional water is automatically sprayed from the functional water discharge unit 60 regardless of the operation of the functional water switch 63c after a lapse of a predetermined time or the like.

[0062] The on / off of the functional water automatic discharge function is switched, for example, by operating the functional water switch 63c. For example, by pressing and holding the functional water switch 63c (continuously pressing for a predetermined time) in a state where the automatic water discharge function is set to off, it is set to on. Then, by pressing and holding the functional water switch 63c in a state where the automatic water discharge function is set to on, it is set to off.

[0063] The output unit 65 displays various information from the electrical components 70 to the user. The information displayed by the output unit 65 is, for example, the operating state of the faucet device 14. The information displayed by the output unit 65 may be arbitrary information such as time or date.

[0064] A light emitting element such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is used for the output unit 65. The output unit 65 performs display, for example, by lighting, extinguishing, blinking of light, and color. A display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display may be used for the output unit 65.

[0065] In this example, a substrate having a light emitting element electrically connected to the electrical components 70 is disposed on the back of the cover member 48 (inside the unit case 46). The light from the light emitting element passes through a predetermined area 65r of the cover member 48, and thus display is performed on the front surface 46f. In such a case, the predetermined area 65r may be regarded as a part of the output unit 65.

[0066] The output unit 65 is not limited to this. For example, an opening may be provided in the cover member 48, and a display device or a light-emitting element may be fitted into the opening as the output unit 65. Alternatively, the output unit 65 may be a display device or a light-emitting element attached to the front surface of the cover member 48.

[0067] A plurality of output units 65 may be provided. In this example, as shown in Fig. 5(a), a water temperature display unit 65a, an automatic water discharge display unit 65b, and a functional water display unit 65c are provided as the output unit 65, and as shown in Fig. 5(b), a time display unit 65d is provided.

[0068] The water temperature display unit 65a displays the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42. The faucet device 14 detects the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 and displays the detected temperature on the water temperature display unit 65a. Further, when the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the faucet device 14 stops the water discharge from the water discharge unit 42. That is, when the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 is at a high temperature, the faucet device 14 locks the water discharge from the water discharge unit 42. At this time, the faucet device 14 notifies the user of the lock of the water discharge from the water discharge unit 42 by the water temperature display unit 65a. Thereby, for example, an abnormality in the water supply pipe or the like can be notified to the user.

[0069] For example, when the water temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature (for example, about 30°C), the water temperature display unit 65a lights up green in response to a signal from the control unit 71 included in the electrical component 70, and when the water temperature is at a high temperature (for example, about 45°C or higher), it lights up red. Alternatively, when the water discharge is locked due to a high temperature, the water temperature display unit 65a blinks red in response to a signal from the control unit. The water temperature display unit 65a turns off when the water temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature (for example, about 30°C).

[0070] The automatic water discharge display section 65b lights up when the automatic water discharge function is on and turns off when the automatic water discharge function is off, in response to a signal from the control section 71. The functional water display section 65c lights up when the functional water automatic discharge function is on and turns off when the functional water automatic discharge function is off, in response to a signal from the control section 71. The time display section 65d displays the time in response to a signal from the control section 71.

[0071] When a guide display (such as an edge border by printing or unevenness) indicating a predetermined area 63r where the input section 63 receives an input and a predetermined area 65r where the output section 65 performs a display is provided on the front surface 46f of the unit case 46, the range (section) indicated by the display may be regarded as a part of the interface section 61. The interface section 61 provided on the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 only requires that at least a part of the interface section 61 be provided on the front surface 46f of the unit case 46. The interface section 61 may be a console panel provided with at least one of the input section 63 and the output section 65 and attached to the unit case 46.

[0072] When there are a plurality of input sections 63 and output sections 65, the input sections 63 and output sections 65 may be grouped together in one section of the front surface 46f or may be provided dispersed at a plurality of locations. That is, in a front view, the interface section 61 may be in one place or in two or more places. In the example of FIG. 3, the interface section 61 is in two places, the region R1 and the region R2.

[0073] FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a faucet device according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the faucet device 14 further includes an electrical component 70, solenoid valves 80, 81, a branch fitting 82, a temperature sensor 84, a solenoid valve 86, and a functional water generation unit 88. The electrical component 70 includes a control section 71 and a hand detection sensor 76. These are provided, for example, inside the unit case 46.

[0074] The control unit 71 controls each part of the faucet device 14. The control unit 71 is connected to each input unit 63 (hot water preparation switch 63a, automatic water discharge switch 63b, functional water switch 63c) and each output unit 65 (water temperature display unit 65a, automatic water discharge display unit 65b, functional water display unit 65c, time display unit 65d). The control unit 71 controls the operations of each part such as the water temperature display unit 65a, the automatic water discharge display unit 65b, and the functional water display unit 65c according to the operation input received from each input unit 63. The control unit 71 is a control circuit including, for example, a microcomputer or the like.

[0075] The hand detection sensor 76 detects a hand existing in the area below the unit case 46 and in the vicinity of the water discharge part 42. For example, the hand detection sensor 76 detects a hand existing within a range of 100 millimeters (mm) from the water discharge port of the water discharge part 42. The hand detection sensor 76 detects, for example, the hand of the user put into the washbowl 22 or above the washbowl 22. The hand detection sensor 76 detects, for example, the hand of the user put between the washbowl 22 and the water discharge part 42. The hand detection sensor 76 is disposed inside the unit case 46 or inside the water discharge part 42. Not limited to this, the position of the hand detection sensor 76 may be any position where it can detect the hand of the user put out to the water discharge part 42.

[0076] The hand detection sensor 76 is connected to the control unit 71 and inputs the detection result to the control unit 71. For the hand detection sensor 76, for example, an infrared distance measurement sensor having a light emitting part and a light receiving part is used. For the hand detection sensor 76, for example, a pyroelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor may be used. The hand detection sensor 76 may be any sensor that can detect a human body, a hand, etc. non - contact based on a signal wave such as an electromagnetic wave like infrared rays or an ultrasonic wave.

[0077] When the automatic water discharge function is on, the control unit 71 causes the water discharge part 42 to discharge water according to the detection of a hand by the hand detection sensor 76. Also, the control unit 71 stops the water discharge from the water discharge part 42 according to the stop of the detection of a hand by the hand detection sensor 76. Thus, the control unit 71 automatically discharges water from the water discharge part 42 according to the detection result of the hand detection sensor 76.

[0078] The solenoid valve 80 is connected to a hot water supply source HS such as a hot water supply pipe via a stop valve 90. The solenoid valve 81 is connected to a water supply source WS such as a water supply pipe via a branch fitting 82 and a stop valve 91. The solenoid valves 80 and 81 are connected to a flow rate adjustment unit 44. Further, the solenoid valves 80 and 81 are connected to a control unit 71. The control unit 71 controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valves 80 and 81. By setting the solenoid valves 80 and 81 to the open state, the water supplied from the water supply source WS and the hot water supplied from the hot water supply source HS are supplied to the flow rate adjustment unit 44.

[0079] The flow rate adjustment unit 44 includes a flow rate adjustment lever 44a and a flow rate adjustment valve 44b. The flow rate adjustment lever 44a is connected to the flow rate adjustment valve 44b and adjusts the opening amount of the flow rate adjustment valve 44b. The flow rate adjustment valve 44b adjusts the respective flow rates of the water supplied from the water supply source WS and the hot water supplied from the hot water supply source HS based on the opening amount set by the flow rate adjustment lever 44a. Then, the flow rate adjustment valve 44b mixes the water and hot water after flow rate adjustment and supplies them to the water discharge unit 42. Thereby, the flow rate and temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42 are adjusted.

[0080] The control unit 71 controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valves 80 and 81 according to the detection result of the hand detection sensor 76. Thereby, according to the detection of the hand by the hand detection sensor 76, the water with adjusted flow rate and temperature is discharged from the water discharge unit 42.

[0081] The temperature sensor 84 is provided on the path between the water discharge unit 42 and the flow rate adjustment unit 44 and detects the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge unit 42. The temperature sensor 84 is connected to the control unit 71 and inputs the detection result to the control unit 71.

[0082] The control unit 71 displays the detection result of the temperature sensor 84 on the water temperature display unit 65a. Further, when the detection result of the temperature sensor 84 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the control unit 71 closes the electromagnetic valves 80 and 81, stops the water discharge from the water discharge unit 42, and notifies the stop of the water discharge by the water temperature display unit 65a. That is, when the detection result of the temperature sensor 84 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the control unit 71 executes a high-temperature lock notification.

[0083] An electric instant water heater 104 is further provided in the washstand 10. The electric instant water heater 104 is connected to a water supply source, heats the water supplied from the water supply source to generate hot water, and supplies the generated hot water to the faucet device 14. For example, the electric instant water heater 104 is a hot water supply source HS. The electric instant water heater 104 has an electric heater and instantaneously heats the water supplied from the water supply source and supplies it to the faucet device 14. The electric instant water heater 104 is housed inside the support base 16, for example.

[0084] The electromagnetic valve 86 is connected to the water supply source WS via the branch fitting 82 and the stop valve 91. The electromagnetic valve 86 is connected to the functional water generation unit 88. Further, the electromagnetic valve 86 is connected to the control unit 71. The control unit 71 controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve 86. By setting the electromagnetic valve 86 to the open state, the water supplied from the water supply source WS is supplied to the functional water generation unit 88.

[0085] The functional water generation unit 88 generates functional water from the water (tap water) supplied from the electromagnetic valve 86 and supplies the generated functional water to the functional water discharge unit 60. Further, the functional water generation unit 88 is connected to the control unit 71. The generation of functional water in the functional water generation unit 88 is controlled by the control unit 71.

[0086] In response to the input of an operation instruction from the functional water switch 63c, the control unit 71 opens the electromagnetic valve 86 and operates the functional water generation unit 88. Thereby, in response to the operation of the functional water switch 63c by the user, the functional water is discharged from the functional water discharge unit 60 into the washbowl 22.

[0087] The functional water generation unit 88 has, for example, an electrolytic cell. Inside the electrolytic cell, an anode plate and a cathode plate are provided. The functional water generation unit 88 electrolyzes tap water or miscellaneous water flowing inside the electrolytic cell based on a signal transmitted from the control unit 71. Here, the tap water contains chloride ions. The chloride ions are contained in a water source (for example, groundwater, water in a dam, water in a river, etc.) as, for example, sodium chloride (NaCl) or calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ). Therefore, hypochlorous acid is generated by electrolyzing the chloride ions. As a result, the water (electrolyzed water) electrolyzed in the functional water generation unit 88 changes into a liquid containing hypochlorous acid (functional water). Hypochlorous acid functions as, for example, a deodorizing component or a bactericidal component. The liquid containing hypochlorous acid can reduce general bacteria and the like.

[0088] Note that the functional water generation unit 88 of the present embodiment is not necessarily limited to generating a liquid containing hypochlorous acid. The functional water generated in the functional water generation unit 88 may be a liquid containing metal ions such as silver ions and copper ions. Alternatively, the functional water generated in the functional water generation unit 88 may be a liquid containing electrolytic chlorine, ozone, or the like. Alternatively, the functional water generated in the functional water generation unit 88 may be acidic water or alkaline water. Further, the functional water generation unit 88 is not necessarily limited to an electrolytic cell unit having an electrolytic cell, an anode plate, and a cathode plate.

[0089] FIG. 7 is a side view illustrating a part of the washbasin dressing table according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, when the mirror cabinet 18 is disposed above the faucet device 14, the mirror doors 31 to 33 extend downward beyond the lower end 30b of the upper cabinet 30. That is, the lower ends 31b, 32b, and 33b of the mirror doors 31, 32, and 33 are located below the lower end 30b of the upper cabinet 30.

[0090] Also, as shown in FIG. 7, when the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed, the lower end portions of the mirror doors (the lower end portion 31L of the mirror door 31, the lower end portion 32L of the mirror door 32, and the lower end portion 33L of the mirror door 33, respectively) are located in front of a part 46p of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46. In other words, in the front-rear direction, the lower end portion of the mirror door and a part 46p of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 overlap. In a front view (see FIG. 3) seen from the front, the lower end portion of the mirror door and a part 46p of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 overlap. Thereby, in the front view, the boundary portion BP between the upper cabinet 30 and the unit case 46 is hidden by the lower end portions 31L to 33L of the mirror doors 31 to 33. That is, the lower end portion of the mirror door is located in front of the boundary portion BP, and the boundary portion BP is covered by the lower end portion of the mirror door in the front view and is not exposed to the front and is not visible. It is sufficient that at least a part of the boundary portion BP is hidden, and it is preferable that substantially the entire boundary portion BP is hidden.

[0091] Note that, in a front view, the state where one element (first element) hides another element (second element) means a state where the first element is disposed in front of the second element, and another element may be disposed between the first element and the second element, or another element may be disposed in front of the first and second elements. For example, a rising portion 48U described later may be disposed between the mirror doors 31 to 33 and the boundary portion BP.

[0092] Also, in the state where the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the interface portion 61 is available. The state where the interface portion 61 is available is, for example, at least either a state where a user can input to the input portion 63 (hereinafter referred to as an inputable state) or a state where the user can visually recognize the information displayed on the output portion 65 (hereinafter referred to as a visually recognizable state).

[0093] The input-enabled state is, for example, a state in which at least a part of the input unit 63 is exposed in a front view. Specifically, for example, when the input unit 63 is a switch (button), in the input-enabled state, the user can touch the switch from in front of the washstand 10. When a plurality of switches are provided as the input unit 63, in the input-enabled state, it is possible to input to at least some of the switches, and for example, it is desirable to be able to input to all of the switches.

[0094] The visible state is, for example, a state in which at least a part of the output unit 65 is exposed in a front view. Specifically, for example, when the output unit 65 is a light-emitting element, in the visible state, the user can determine whether the light-emitting element is lit or not from in front of the washstand 10. Also, when the output unit 65 is a display device that displays the time, in the visible state, the user can visually recognize the time display and read the time from in front of the washstand 10. When a plurality of light-emitting elements or display devices are provided as the output unit 65, in the visible state, the information displayed on at least some of the light-emitting elements or display devices is visible, and for example, it is desirable that the information displayed on all of the light-emitting elements or display devices is visible.

[0095] In a state where the interface unit 61 is available, a part of the interface unit 61 (for example, the input unit 63, the output unit 65, or a part of the console panel) may overlap with a part of the mirror door in the front-rear direction.

[0096] For example, if the faucet device is provided separately from the mirror cabinet, the boundary between the unit case of the faucet device and the mirror cabinet may be exposed. In this case, the appearance of the washstand may deteriorate. For example, compared to the case where the unit case and the mirror cabinet are provided integrally, the sense of unity may be impaired, and the design property of the appearance may be reduced. Or, dust (for example, dust or dirt) may adhere to the boundary, and the appearance of the washstand may become poor.

[0097] In contrast, according to the embodiment, in a configuration where the faucet device 14 is provided separately from the mirror cabinet 18, the boundary portion BP between the unit case 46 and the upper cabinet 30 can be concealed. Thereby, deterioration in appearance (reduction in the design property of the appearance) can be suppressed. For example, a sense of unity between the faucet device 14 and the mirror cabinet 18 can be produced, and the appearance is good. Also, for example, it is possible to suppress dust from adhering to the boundary portion BP. Even if dust adheres to the boundary portion BP, since the boundary portion BP is concealed, deterioration in appearance can be suppressed.

[0098] In addition, in recent faucet devices, there may be provided an electrical component and an interface portion connected to the electrical component. Thereby, the usability of the washbasin vanity can be further improved. However, when simply concealing the boundary portion with the mirror door, in a state where the mirror door is closed, the interface portion of the electrical component may become unusable, and the usability of the washbasin vanity may deteriorate. For example, there is a possibility that at least a part of the interface portion is concealed by the mirror door and the interface portion becomes unusable.

[0099] In contrast, according to the embodiment, the interface portion provided in the faucet device can be used without opening the mirror doors 31 to 33, and the usability is good.

[0100] In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the front-rear direction, the upper end 61t of the interface portion 61 in the front view does not overlap with the lower end of the mirror door (the lower ends 31b of the mirror door 31, the lower ends 32b of the mirror door 32, and the lower ends 33b of the mirror door 33, respectively). The upper end 61t of the interface portion 61 is below the lower end of the mirror door. In the front view (see FIG. 3), the upper end of the interface portion 61 and the lower end of the mirror door do not overlap. Thereby, while concealing the boundary portion BP between the unit case 46 and the upper cabinet 30, the interface portion 61 can be made more easily usable.

[0101] Also, as already described, in this example, the interface unit 61 is provided on the front surface 46Lf of the protruding portion 46L. As a result, when a user standing in front of the washstand 10 looks down at the interface unit 61, at least a part of the interface unit 61 can be prevented from being hidden by the mirror doors 31 to 33 and the visibility can be prevented from being reduced.

[0102] Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the front surface 46Lf of the protruding portion 46L protrudes forward beyond the front surfaces of the mirror doors in the closed state (the front surfaces 31f of the mirror door 31, the front surfaces 32f of the mirror door 32, and the front surfaces 33f of the mirror door 33, respectively). The front surface 46Lf of the protruding portion 46L may be flush with the front surfaces of the mirror doors in the closed state. In other words, the position of the front surface 46Lf in the front-rear direction is the same as or in front of the position of the front surfaces of the mirror doors in the front-rear direction. Therefore, when the mirror doors 31 to 33 are in the closed state, there are no mirror doors 31 to 33 between the user in front of the washstand 10 and the input unit 63. That is, when the user performs an input operation on the input unit 63, there are no mirror doors 31 to 33 on the flow line, and the operability is excellent.

[0103] Each mirror door is provided with a handle portion 34. The handle portion 34 is a concave portion recessed upward from the lower end of the mirror doors 31 to 33. The user can open and close each mirror door by placing a finger on the handle portion 34.

[0104] In the state where the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed as shown in FIG. 7, a gap SP that enables the user to open the mirror doors 31 to 33 is provided between the lower surfaces of the mirror doors (the lower surfaces 31c of the mirror door 31, the lower surfaces 32c of the mirror door 32, and the lower surfaces 33c of the mirror door 33, respectively) and the upper surface 46Lt of the protruding portion 46L. The vertical length H1 of the gap SP (the length along the vertical direction between the lower surface of the mirror and the upper surface 46Lt) is longer than the vertical length H2 of the protruding portion 46L. As a result, even when the protruding portion 46L is provided in the unit case 46, the user can easily open the mirror doors 31 to 33 by inserting a finger into the gap SP and placing a finger on the handle portion 34 on the lower surface of the mirror door.

[0105] Note that the upper surface 46Lt of the protruding portion 46L is a surface that connects the front surface 46Uf and the front surface 46Lf in the front-rear direction, and in the left-right direction, it is a surface that extends horizontally from the left side wall 47h to the right side wall 47m (see Fig. 4(a)) of the unit case 46. In this way, the unit case 46 is in a shelf shape. For example, an object (e.g., a smartphone, etc.) can be placed on the upper surface 46Lt. The length H1 is, for example, about 50 mm, and the length H2 is, for example, about 30 mm.

[0106] Also, as shown in Fig. 7, the unit case 46 has a rising portion 48U that rises upward. The rising portion 48U includes a portion that extends above the left side wall 47h and the right side wall 47m (see Fig. 4(a)) of the unit case 46. In this example, the rising portion 48U is a part of the cover member 48 and is a part that includes the upper end of the cover member 48. The rising portion 48U forms a part of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46. The rising portion 48U extends continuously from the left side wall 47h to the right side wall 47m in the left-right direction.

[0107] The rising portion 48U is located in front of the boundary portion BP and a part of the upper cabinet 30. In other words, in the front-rear direction, the rising portion 48U overlaps with the boundary portion BP and a part of the upper cabinet 30. The upper end of the rising portion 48U is located above the lower end 30b of the upper cabinet 30. Also, the rising portion 48U is located between the closed mirror doors 31 - 33 and the boundary portion BP.

[0108] In a front view seen from the front, the rising portion 48U overlaps with the lower end 30b of the upper cabinet 30 and the boundary portion BP. As a result, in the front view, the boundary portion BP is hidden by the rising portion 48U. That is, the boundary portion BP is covered by the rising portion 48U in the front view, is not exposed forward, and is not visible. Thereby, the impression that the unit case 46 and the mirror cabinet 18 are separate members can be suppressed, and the design property is improved. Also, since the boundary portion BP is hidden, the adhesion of dust to the boundary portion BP can be suppressed.

[0109] FIG. 8 is a side view illustrating a part of another washstand according to the embodiment. The washstand 10a shown in FIG. 8 is different from the washstand 10 described above in the shape of the faucet device 14.

[0110] In the washstand 10a, the unit case 46 of the faucet device 14 is not provided with the protruding portion 46L and the rising portion 48U. An interface portion 61 is provided on the front surface 46f of the unit case 46.

[0111] Also in the washstand 10a, in the front - rear direction, the lower ends 31L to 33L of the mirror doors 31 to 33 and a part of the front surface 46f of the unit case overlap. In a front view, the overlapping of the lower end of the mirror door and a part 46p of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 conceals the boundary between the upper cabinet 30 and the unit case 46. Further, in a state where the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed as shown in FIG. 8, the interface portion 61 is usable. Thereby, similar to the washstand 10, it is possible to improve the usability of the interface portion 61 while suppressing the deterioration of the appearance.

[0112] Also, the upper end 61t of the interface portion 61 in a front view is below the lower ends 31b to 33b of the mirror doors 31 to 33. In a front view, the upper end of the interface portion 61 and the lower end of the mirror door do not overlap. Thereby, while concealing the boundary portion BP between the unit case 46 and the upper cabinet 30, the interface portion 61 can be made more easily usable.

[0113] The interface portion 61 and the front surface 46f of the unit case 46 are behind the mirror doors 31 to 33. Thereby, a wider washing space on the washbowl 22 can be secured, and the usability can be improved.

[0114] FIG. 9 is a side view illustrating a part of another washstand according to the embodiment. The washbasin vanity unit 10b shown in Fig. 9 is different from the washbasin vanity unit 10a described above in the arrangement of the interface unit 61.

[0115] In the washbasin vanity unit 10b, the upper end 61t of the interface unit 61 in the front view is above the lower ends 31b to 33b of the mirror doors 31 to 33. In this example, the upper part of the interface unit 61 overlaps with one of the mirror doors 31 to 33 in the front-rear direction. The lower part of the interface unit 61 is not hidden by the mirror doors 31 to 33 and is exposed in the front view. As a result, when the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed as shown in Fig. 9, the interface unit 61 can be used. In this way, if the interface unit 61 is available, the mirror doors 31 to 33 may overlap with a part of the interface unit 61.

[0116] Fig. 10 is a side view illustrating a part of another washbasin vanity unit according to the embodiment. The washbasin vanity unit 10c shown in Fig. 10 is different from the washbasin vanity unit 10 described above in the shape of the faucet device 14.

[0117] In the washbasin vanity unit 10c, as shown in Fig. 10, when the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed, the front surface 46Lf of the protruding portion 46L of the unit case 46 and the interface unit 61 provided on the front surface 46Lf are in front of the upper cabinet 30 and behind the front surfaces 31f to 33f of the mirror doors 31 to 33.

[0118] Also in the washbasin vanity unit 10c, in the front view, the lower end portions 31L to 33L of the mirror doors 31 to 33 overlap with a part 46p of the front surface 46f of the unit case 46, so that the boundary portion BP between the upper cabinet 30 and the unit case 46 is hidden. Also, when the mirror doors 31 to 33 are closed, the interface unit 61 can be used. As a result, similar to the washbasin vanity unit 10, it is possible to improve the usability of the interface unit 61 while suppressing the deterioration of the appearance.

[0119] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these descriptions. Regarding the foregoing embodiments, those in which those skilled in the art make appropriate design changes are also included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the features of the present invention. For example, the shape, dimensions, material, arrangement, installation form, etc. of each element provided in the washstand are not limited to those exemplified and can be changed as appropriate.
