Description

この発明は、水道配管の末端部と混合水栓との間に介在される分岐接続具に関する。   The present invention relates to a branch connector interposed between a terminal end of a water pipe and a mixed water tap.

混合水栓に給水を行う水側流路もしくは給湯を行う湯側流路に分岐流路を設け、この分岐流路によって、食器洗浄機や浄水器等の関連機器に水もしくは湯の供給を行う分岐接続具として公知のものに、特許文献１のものがある。   A branch channel is provided in the water channel for supplying water to the mixer tap or the hot water channel for supplying hot water, and water or hot water is supplied to related equipment such as dishwashers and water purifiers by this branch channel. There is a thing of patent documents 1 in a publicly known thing as a branch connector.

特許文献１では、分岐接続具は、壁面に埋設された水側及び湯側の各水道配管の末端部に接続された供給管と、混合水栓の背面に形成された水側及び湯側の各接続口との間に介在されるものであり、水側又は湯側の供給管と混合水栓の一方の接続口との間にＴ字状の分岐接続具を付加し、もう一方の供給管と混合水栓の他方の接続口との間に直線状のアダプターを付加したものである。そして、分岐接続具に形成された分岐口に配管を介して食器洗浄機や浄水器等の関連機器が接続されている。   In Patent Document 1, the branch connector includes a supply pipe connected to the end of each water pipe on the water side and hot water side embedded in the wall surface, and a water side and hot water side formed on the back surface of the mixing faucet.

実公平７−２７５３号公報No. 7-2753

特許文献１においては、例えば給水側の分岐口に食器洗浄機への配管を接続する場合は、食器洗浄機へは水のみしか供給することができない。また、食器には調理用の油等が付着しており、この油を素早く洗い落とすには、水よりも適温の湯が適しており、適温の湯で食器を洗うには、分岐接続具又は食器洗浄機の何れかに加熱器を設けて水を加熱する必要がある。この場合、混合水栓から水を分岐しても、この水が適温の湯となるまで加熱するには時間がかかり、素早く食器洗いを行なうことができない。   In Patent Document 1, for example, when piping to the dishwasher is connected to a branch port on the water supply side, only water can be supplied to the dishwasher. In addition, cooking oil or the like is attached to the tableware, and in order to quickly wash off this oil, hot water with an appropriate temperature is more suitable than water. It is necessary to heat the water by providing a heater in any of the washing machines. In this case, even if the water is branched from the mixing faucet, it takes time to heat the water until it becomes hot water, and dishwashing cannot be performed quickly.

一方、給湯側の分岐口に食器洗浄機への配管を接続する場合では、食器洗浄機へは高温の湯が直接供給されるので、給水側に接続したときのような加熱器による加熱は不要となり、食器洗いを素早く行なうことができる。   On the other hand, when piping to the dishwasher is connected to the branch on the hot water supply side, high-temperature hot water is directly supplied to the dishwasher, so heating with a heater is not required as when connected to the water supply side. The dishwashing can be done quickly.

しかしながら、高温の湯が食器洗浄機に直接供給されると、食器に付着した蛋白質が高温の湯に曝されることによって食器に固着してしまい、除去できなくなってしまう。   However, if hot water is directly supplied to the dishwasher, the protein adhering to the tableware will be fixed to the tableware by exposure to the hot water and cannot be removed.

また、分岐接続具の分岐口は、混合水栓の右側又は左側に開口しているが、関連機器の設置場所が分岐口の開口と逆方向であった場合、配管の一端を分岐口に接続するとともに、水側の供給管やアダプターとの干渉を回避しつつ、混合水栓の上方または下方に引き回して関連機器に接続する必要がある。したがって、配管は必要以上に長く、混合水栓の上方または下方に湾曲した状態となり、混合水栓の取付箇所の見栄えを大きく損ねてしまう。   Also, the branch port of the branch connector opens to the right or left side of the mixing faucet, but if the installation location of the related equipment is in the opposite direction to the branch port opening, one end of the pipe is connected to the branch port At the same time, it is necessary to connect to related equipment by drawing it above or below the mixing faucet while avoiding interference with the water supply pipe and adapter. Accordingly, the pipe is longer than necessary and is curved upward or downward of the mixing faucet, which greatly impairs the appearance of the mounting location of the mixing faucet.

この発明は、このような従来の技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものであり、その目的は、壁面の裏側に配設された水道配管に接続された供給管と混合水栓との間に介在され、関連機器へ水又は湯を供給する分岐接続具において、関連機器の機能の低下や混合水栓の使い勝手に影響を与えることがなく、しかも混合水栓と関連機器とを連通する配管により、混合水栓の取付箇所の見栄えを損ねることのない分岐接続具を提供することである。   The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a supply pipe and a mixing faucet connected to a water pipe arranged on the back side of the wall surface. In the branch connector that supplies water or hot water to the related equipment, it does not affect the function of the related equipment or the usability of the mixed faucet, and communicates the mixed faucet and the related equipment. It is an object of the present invention to provide a branch connector that does not impair the appearance of the installation location of the mixing faucet.
