Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When adjusting the temperature and flow rate of water, the handle is moved forward, backward, left, and right. Since the movement of the handle having both a temperature adjustment function and a flow rate adjustment function is complicated, the user needs to operate while touching the handle with a finger or palm. At this time, if the finger or palm is dirty, the dirt will adhere to the handle.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above conventional circumstances, and an object to be solved is to enable simple operation for discharging and stopping water.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The vanity unit of this disclosure comprises a washbasin having a bowl portion, a mirror cabinet positioned above the washbasin, a cover positioned below the mirror cabinet, a faucet function unit including a water discharge / stop valve for discharging and stopping water at the water outlet, at least a portion of which is housed within the cover, and a water discharge / stop operation unit positioned on the front of the cover for operating the water discharge / stop valve.

[0008] <Embodiment 1> Hereinafter, Embodiment 1, which embodies the present disclosure, will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The vanity unit A of this Embodiment 1 comprises a washbasin 10 placed on the floor, a mirror cabinet 30 fixed to the building wall W above the washbasin 10, and a faucet function unit 20.

[0009] In the following explanation, the front-to-back direction of vanity A is defined as the side closest to the user when the user is standing in the position to use vanity A, and the back side (wall W side) is defined as the side furthest from the user's perspective. In Figures 1, 4-8, the positive direction of the X-axis is the front. The left-to-right direction of vanity A is defined as the direction as seen from the user when the user is standing in the position to use vanity A, and these directions are defined as the left and right. The left-to-right direction and the width direction are used synonymously. In Figures 1-6, the positive direction of the Y-axis is the right. The up-to-down direction is defined as the positive direction of the Z-axis in Figures 1-4, 7, and 8. The up-to-down direction and the height direction are used synonymously.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the washbasin 10 has a box-shaped lower storage section 11, a countertop 12 positioned on the upper surface of the lower storage section 11, a bowl section 13 attached to the countertop 12, and a vertical wall 14 rising upward from the rear edge of the countertop 12. A faucet function unit 20 is installed in the area of ​​the vertical wall 14 to the right of the center in the left-right direction. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the faucet function unit 20 includes a mixing faucet 21 and a water flow shut-off valve 25. The mixing faucet 21 and the water flow shut-off valve 25 are positioned at the same height, with the mixing faucet 21 located to the right of the water flow shut-off valve 25. The mixing faucet 21 and the water flow shut-off valve 25 are installed so as to penetrate the vertical wall 14 from front to back.

[0011] The mixing faucet 21 is connected to the downstream end of a water supply pipe (not shown) connected to the public water supply (not shown), the downstream end of a hot water supply pipe (not shown) connected to a water heater (not shown), the upstream end of a first mixing water pipe (not shown), and the upstream end of a second mixing water pipe 22 (see Figures 5 and 6). The water supply pipe, hot water supply pipe, first mixing water pipe, and second mixing water pipe 22 are all routed behind the vertical wall 14 (on the wall surface W side). The water (including both cold and hot water) supplied to the mixing faucet 21 through the water supply pipe and hot water supply pipe is discharged to the first mixing water pipe and the second mixing water pipe 22.

[0012] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the mixing faucet 21 has an adjustment operating member 23 that protrudes downward. The adjustment operating member 23 is positioned in front of the vertical wall 14. The temperature and flow rate of the water discharged to the first and second mixing water pipes 22 can be adjusted by operating the adjustment operating member 23. Moving the adjustment operating member 23 forward increases the flow rate, and moving it backward decreases the flow rate. When the adjustment operating member 23 is moved to its rearmost position, the discharge of water to the first and second mixing water pipes 22 stops. Rotating the adjustment operating member 23 clockwise increases the amount of hot water supplied from the hot water pipe to the mixing faucet 21, and the temperature of the water discharged to the first and second mixing water pipes 22 increases. Rotating the adjustment operating member 23 counterclockwise decreases the temperature of the water discharged to the first and second mixing water pipes 22. When the adjustment operating member 23 is rotated to its counterclockwise end, the supply of hot water from the hot water pipe to the mixing faucet 21 is stopped.

[0013] As shown in Figures 5-8, the discharge / stop valve 25 has a valve body 26 with a built-in on / off valve mechanism and an operable part 27 located on the front of the valve body 26. The operable part 27 is located in front of the vertical wall 14. The downstream end of the second mixing water pipe 22 and the upstream end of the third mixing water pipe 29 (see Figures 7 and 8) are connected to the valve body 26. The third mixing water pipe 29 is routed behind the vertical wall 14. The downstream end of the first mixing water pipe connected to the discharge port of the mixing faucet 21 and the downstream end of the third mixing water pipe 29 connected to the discharge port of the discharge / stop valve 25 are connected to a common junction pipe (not shown).

[0014] The vertical front surface of the operated portion 27 functions as an operating force receiving surface 28 for receiving the operating force from the discharge / stop operating member 60, which will be described later. In a front view of the discharge / stop valve 25, the operated portion 27 (operating force receiving surface 28) is circular. Each time the operated portion 27 receives a pushing force from the front (operating force from the discharge / stop operating member 60), it is alternately held in the shut-off position (see Figures 6 and 8) and the discharge position (see Figures 5 and 7), which is horizontally advanced forward from the shut-off position. When the operated portion 27 is held in the shut-off position, the discharge / stop valve 25 is maintained in a shut-off mode, stopping the discharge to the third mixing water pipe 29. When the operated portion 27 in the shut-off position is pushed from the front, the operated portion 27 moves backward once, then moves to the discharge position forward by the elasticity of a spring (not shown), and is held in the discharge position.

[0015] When the operated part 27 moves to the water discharge position, the discharge shut-off valve 25 switches to a water discharge mode that discharges water supplied from the second mixing water pipe 22 to the third mixing water pipe 29, and maintains the water discharge mode. The discharge shut-off valve 25 does not have a function to adjust the water temperature and flow rate. Therefore, the temperature and flow rate of the water discharged from the discharge shut-off valve 25 to the third mixing water pipe 29 are the temperature and flow rate specified by the mixing faucet 21. In the water discharge mode, when the operated part 27 in the water discharge position is pushed from the front, the operated part 27 moves to the rear shut-off position and is held in the shut-off position. When the operated part 27 moves to the shut-off position, the discharge shut-off valve 25 switches to a shut-off mode that stops the discharge of water to the third mixing water pipe 29, and maintains the shut-off mode.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 1, the mirror cabinet 30 has an upper storage part 31, a central mirror member 36C, a left mirror member 36L, and a right mirror member 36R. The upper storage part 31 is a member integrally formed with a storage box 32 (see Figs. 7 and 8), a curtain plate part 33 (see Figs. 7 and 8), and a socket box 34 (see Figs. 1 and 2). The storage box 32 is box-shaped with an open front and has three storage compartments (not shown) partitioned left and right. The curtain plate part 33 extends downward from the lower edge of the front of the storage box 32. The socket box 34 protrudes downward from the right end of the curtain plate part 33. A socket 35 is provided in the socket box 34.

[0017] The three mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R are attached to the storage box 32 and are configured to individually open and close the openings in the fronts of the three storage compartments. Each of the mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R has a mirror body 37 whose front functions as a mirror surface, and a protective member 38 that protects the upper and lower edges of the mirror body 37. The central mirror member 36C is configured to open and close about a vertical support shaft 39 (see Fig. 2) provided at the right end of the central mirror member 36C as a fulcrum. The left mirror member 36L is rotatably supported about the right end of the left mirror member 36L as a fulcrum. The right mirror member 36R is rotatably supported about the left end of the right mirror member 36R as a fulcrum. The lower ends of the three mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R are located at either the same height as the lower end of the curtain plate part 33 or at a height above the lower end of the curtain plate part 33. When the three mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R are in the closed state, the curtain plate part 33 is covered and hidden from the front by the three mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R.

[0018] The mirror cabinet 30 is fitted with a water outlet 42, a cover 50, and a water outlet / stopping operating member 60. The case 40 is box-shaped with an open top. Through holes 41 (see Figures 3 and 4) are formed in the rear and bottom surfaces of the case 40. The case 40 is attached to the upper front end of the vertical wall 14. The case 40 is positioned below the storage box 32. The water outlet 42 has a bent shape and has a downward-facing water supply port (not shown) and a nozzle 43 extending diagonally downward and forward. The water outlet 42 is fixed to the case 40 by screws, passing through the through hole 41 in the rear and the communication hole (not shown) in the vertical wall 14. The water supply port is located on the rear side of the vertical wall 14. The nozzle 43 protrudes downward from the case 40 through the through hole 41 in the bottom surface. The nozzle 43 is positioned in the center of the vanity unit A in the left-right direction.

[0019] The cover 50 is made of synthetic resin and has a horizontally elongated bottom plate portion 51 (see Figures 7 and 8), a horizontally elongated front plate portion 52 (see Figures 7 and 8) rising upward from the front edge of the bottom plate portion 51, a left side plate portion 53L (see Figure 2), and a right side plate portion 53R (see Figure 2). The left side plate portion 53L is connected to the left side edges of the bottom plate portion 51 and the front plate portion 52. The right side plate portion 53R rises low from the right side edge of the bottom plate portion 51. The space inside the cover 50 (the space below the upper end of the front plate portion 52 and in front of the rear end of the bottom plate portion 51) functions as a storage space 54. In the area of ​​the bottom plate portion 51 to the right of the center in the horizontal direction, an operating opening 55 and a water discharge opening 56 are formed, as shown in Figure 2.

[0020] As shown in Fig. 2, a guide opening 57 is formed in a region of the front plate portion 52 to the right of the center in the left-right direction. In a front view of the cover 50 seen from the front, the opening shape of the guide opening 57 is a horizontally long rectangle with a larger width dimension in the left-right direction than the height dimension in the up-down direction. The opening range of the guide opening 57 in the up-down direction is only in a region below the center height in the up-down direction of the front plate portion 52. Specifically, the guide opening 57 opens only in the lower half region of the front plate portion 52. As shown in Figs. 5 to 8, a guide portion 58 for guiding the water discharge and stop operation member 60 to move forward and backward in the front-back direction is formed on the front plate portion 52. The guide portion 58 has a horizontally long cylindrical shape and extends rearward (inside the cover 50) from the opening edge of the guide opening 57.

[0021] In a region of the front surface 52F of the front plate portion 52 that surrounds the guide opening 57, a bulging portion 59 with a shape protruding forward is formed. The bulging portion 59 has a bulging shape in which the amount of protrusion forward increases as it approaches the guide opening 57. The guide opening 57 opens on the front end surface of the bulging portion 59.

[0022] The water discharge and stop operation member 60 is a member formed by assembling and integrating a button base 61 and a button head 65. The water discharge and stop operation member 60 has a flat track shape with a larger width dimension than the height dimension. An operation force transmission portion 62 protruding in a cantilever shape rearward is formed at the center in the width direction of the button base 61. A pair of elastic locking pieces 63 extending in a cantilever shape rearward are formed at both left and right ends of the button base 61. An outward locking protrusion 64 is formed at the rear end portion of the elastic locking piece 63. The elastic locking piece 63 is elastically deformable in the left-right direction.

[0023] The button head 65 has a flattened shape with a width greater than its height and is assembled to the front end of the button base 61. The front surface of the button head 65 functions as the operating surface 66. An identification section 67 is formed on the rear end region of the outer circumferential surface of the button head 65 (the region behind the dashed line in Figures 5-8). The identification section 67 differs from the front end region of the outer circumferential surface of the button head 65 and the operating surface 66 in terms of surface treatment, color tone, glossiness, etc. One example of the identification section 67 is one with a satin-like surface treatment.

[0024] The water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is attached to the front plate portion 52 of the cover 50 with a portion of it housed within the guide portion 58. The front end region of the button base 61 and the rear end region of the button head 65 are housed within the guide portion. The front end portion of the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 (a portion of the front end region of the button head 65) is located in front of the planar area of ​​the front surface 50F of the cover 50 and protrudes forward from the foremost end of the bulging portion 59 (guide portion 58). Guided by the guide portion 58, the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 moves back and forth between the water stop position (see Figures 6 and 8) and the water discharge position (see Figures 5 and 7) which is in front of the water stop position.

[0025] The cover 50 is attached to the fascia board portion 33. The cover 50 is positioned to cover the bottom surface of the storage box 32 and the upper front edge of the vertical wall 14. The front panel portion 52 of the cover 50 is positioned adjacent to the lower part of the fascia board portion 33. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the front surface 52F of the front panel portion 52 (the flat area where the bulge portion 59 is not formed) and the front surface 33F of the fascia board portion 33 are positioned at the same location in the front-to-back direction. The entire front panel portion 52, including the bulge portion 59, is positioned behind the front surface 38F of the protective member 38 of the mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R when they are closed. The cover 50 is positioned at the same height as the outlet box 34 and is positioned adjacent to the left of the outlet box 34. The cover 50 is positioned along the lower edge of the mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R when they are closed, and is aligned below the mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R. The upper end of the cover 50 and the lower end of the protective member 38 of the mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R are at the same height.

[0026] Most of the parts of the mixing faucet 21 and the water discharge valve 25 that protrude forward from the vertical wall 14 are housed in the housing space 54 inside the cover 50. The upper end of the mixing faucet 21 is above the upper end of the front plate portion 52 (lower end of the fascia plate portion 33) of the cover 50, i.e., outside the housing space 54. As shown in Figure 2, the adjustment operating member 23 protrudes downward from the bottom plate portion 51 of the cover 50, passing through the operating opening 55. The case 40 and a part of the water discharge portion 42 are housed inside the cover 50. The nozzle 43 of the water discharge portion 42 protrudes downward from the bottom plate portion 51, passing through the water discharge opening 56.

[0027] When the cover 50 is attached to the mirror cabinet 30, the rear end surface of the operating force transmission section 62 of the water discharge / stop operating member 60 abuts against the front surface (operating force receiving surface 28) of the operated section 27 of the water discharge / stop valve 25. As shown in Figures 6 and 8, when the water discharge / stop operating member 60 is in the shut-off position, the operated section 27 is pushed into the shut-off position, and the water discharge / stop valve 25 is held in the shut-off mode. When the water discharge / stop operating member 60 is in the shut-off position, the operating surface 66 is in approximately the same position in the front-to-back direction as the front surface 38F of the protective member 38 of the closed mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R. At this time, the identification section 67 cannot be seen because its entirety is housed within the guide section 58.

[0028] When the front surface (operating surface 66) of the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 in the shut-off position is pushed from the front, the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 retracts slightly and is then pushed back forward by a pushing force from the operated part 27. When the discharge / shut-off operating member 60, which has been pushed back, reaches the discharge position, as shown in Figure 5, the locking projection 64 of the elastic locking piece 63 catches on the rear end edge of the guide part 58, thereby holding the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 and the operated part 27 in the discharge position. As shown in Figures 5 and 7, when the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 moves to the discharge position, the discharge / shut-off valve 25 switches to discharge mode. When the operating surface 66 of the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 in the discharge position is pushed, the discharge / shut-off operating member 60 and the operated part 27 move to the shut-off position, and the discharge / shut-off valve 25 is held in shut-off mode.

[0029] When the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is in the discharge position, the operating surface 66 protrudes forward from the front surface 38F of the protective member 38 of the closed mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R. At this time, the identification part 67 is exposed forward from the guide opening 57 (the foremost end of the bulging part 59) and can be seen. Whether or not the identification part 67 can be seen allows identification of whether the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is in the stop position or the discharge position (whether the water discharge / stopping valve 25 is in stop mode or discharge mode).

[0030] The center of the water flow control member 60 is located at the same position as the center of the operated portion 27 of the water flow control valve 25 in both the left-right and up-down directions. The water flow control member 60 is positioned between the nozzle 43 of the water discharge portion 42 and the adjustment control member 23 of the mixing faucet 21 in the left-right direction. The water flow control member 60, which is elongated in the left-right direction, is positioned along the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C that extends in the left-right direction. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, a finger-grip space 68 (gap) that opens forward is secured between the upper edge of the water flow control member 60 and the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C. For example, if the user's palm or fingertips are dirty, even if they press and operate the water flow control member 60 with the back of their hand, there is no risk of the back of their hand hitting the lower end of the central mirror member 36C.

[0031] The central mirror member 36C opens and closes using the support shaft 39 at the right end of the central mirror member 36C as a pivot point. When opening the central mirror member 36C, the user should hook their fingers from below onto the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C that is furthest from the support shaft 39 (hanging end) (the part on the door edge side) and pull it towards them. In view of this, the water discharge / stopping operation member 60 is positioned between the center and the right end (support shaft 39) of the central mirror member 36C in the left-right direction. With this arrangement, there is no risk of fingers or hands hitting the water discharge / stopping operation member 60 when opening the central mirror member 36C.

[0032] The vanity unit A of this embodiment 1 comprises a washbasin 10 having a bowl portion 13, a mirror cabinet 30 having mirror members 36C, 36L, and 36R, a cover 50, a faucet function unit 20, and a water flow control member 60. The mirror cabinet 30 is positioned above the washbasin 10. The cover 50 is positioned below the mirror cabinet 30. The faucet function unit 20 includes a water flow control valve 25 for controlling water flow and shut-off at the water outlet 42. At least a portion of the faucet function unit 20 is housed within the cover 50.

[0033] The discharge / stop operating member 60 is a member for operating the discharge / stop valve 25 and is located on the front surface 50F of the cover 50. Since the cover 50 is positioned along the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C, the discharge / stop operating member 60 is also positioned along the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C. By operating the discharge / stop operating member 60, the discharge / stop valve 25 is switched between shut-off mode and discharge mode, and water discharge and shut-off are performed at the discharge section 42. The discharge / stop operating member 60 does not have a function to adjust the temperature or flow rate of the discharged water, so it is easy to operate.

[0034] Switching between the water discharge mode and the water shut-off mode in the water discharge valve 25 is done by pressing the operating surface 66 on the front of the water discharge / shut-off operating member 60, so there is no need to pinch the water discharge / shut-off operating member 60 with two fingers. If the palm or fingers are dirty, the water discharge / shut-off operating member 60 can be operated with the back of the hand. Even elderly people and people with disabilities whose hand and finger motor function has deteriorated can operate the water discharge / shut-off operating member 60.

[0035] When the water discharge / stop operating member 60 switches the water discharge / stop valve 25 to the shut-off mode, the front surface (operating surface 66) of the water discharge / stop operating member 60 is positioned at approximately the same location in the front-to-back direction as the front surface 38F of the central mirror member 36C. When the water discharge / stop operating member 60 switches the water discharge / stop valve 25 to the discharge mode, the operating surface 66 is positioned to protrude forward from the front surface 38F of the central mirror member 36C. By visually observing the positional relationship between the front surface of the water discharge / stop operating member 60 and the front surface 38F of the mirror member 36C, it is possible to determine whether the water discharge / stop valve 25 is switched to the shut-off mode or the discharge mode.

[0036] On the front surface 50F of the cover 50, a bulge 59 is formed in the portion surrounding the water discharge / stopping operating member 60, which protrudes forward as it approaches the water discharge / stopping operating member 60. The arrangement of the bulge 59 to surround the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 enhances the design aesthetics of the area surrounding the water discharge / stopping operating member 60.

[0037] The faucet function unit 20 has an adjustment operating member 23 for adjusting the temperature and flow rate of the water discharged from the water outlet 42. The water outlet 42 and the adjustment operating member 23 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction below the mirror cabinet 30 and protrude below the lower edge of the cover 50. The water discharge / stop operating member 60 is positioned between the water outlet 42 and the adjustment operating member 23 in the left-right direction and is located above the water outlet 42 and the adjustment operating member 23. This arrangement allows for an efficient design of the piping connected to the mixing faucet 21 and the water discharge / stop valve 25.

[0038] The water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is located only in the lower end area of ​​the front surface 50F of the cover 50. There is a gap (finger grip space 68) between the upper edge of the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 and the lower edge of the mirror cabinet 30. The position of the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is easier to identify compared to the case where the water discharge / stopping operating member 60 is located close to the lower edge of the mirror cabinet 30.

[0039] The mirror cabinet 30 has a central mirror member 36C that can be opened and closed using a vertical support shaft 39 as a pivot point. The water discharge / stopping operation member 60 is positioned within the entire width of the central mirror member 36C, closer to the support shaft 39 than the left-right center of the central mirror member 36C (the position on the hanging side). When opening the central mirror member 36C by hooking a finger on the lower edge of the central mirror member 36C, there is no risk of the finger hitting the water discharge / stopping operation member 60.
