I have. The two holding pieces 48 extend to the opposite sides beyond the center in the width direction of the base-side partition main body 41B. One holding piece 48 is located on the front side of a slope portion 43 described later. The other holding piece 48 is located at the end of the base-side partition member 40B.

両保持片48の自由端部には、図6に示すように、軸方向に直交する方向に対して斜めに切りかかれた切欠縁部49が形成されている。切欠縁部49は、先端側(図6では上側)の保持片48においては基端側に、基端側(図6では下側)の保持片48においては先端側に形成されている。電線33は、各保持片48の自由端側から保持片48と基端側仕切り本体41Bとの間に挿入され保持される。   At the free ends of both holding pieces 48, as shown in FIG. 6, there is formed a cutout edge 49 which is cut obliquely to a direction orthogonal to the axial direction. The notch edge portion 49 is formed on the proximal end side of the holding piece 48 on the distal end side (upper side in FIG. 6), and is formed on the distal end side of the holding piece 48 on the proximal end side (lower side in FIG. 6). The electric wires 33 are inserted and held between the holding piece 48 and the base partition body 41B from the free end side of each holding piece 48.

さて、基端側仕切り本体41Bの表面56には、図3に示すように、段差部42が突設されている。これにより、基端側仕切り本体41Bは、段差部42より先端側の部分(以後、第1本体59と称する)が基端側の部分(以後、第2本体61と称する)より一段表側に位置している。ホース収容部19は、図1に示すように、段差部42より基端側が先端側より表側に広くなっている。なお、段差部42は、連結部材44より基端側にずれた位置に設けられている。   Now, as shown in FIG. 3, a step portion 42 is protruded from the surface 56 of the base partition body 41B. As a result, in the proximal partitioning body 41B, a portion on the distal side (hereinafter, referred to as a first main body 59) from the step portion 42 is positioned one step higher than a portion on the proximal side (hereinafter, referred to as the second main body 61). doing. As shown in FIG. 1, the proximal end side of the hose accommodating portion 19 is wider than the distal end side of the step portion 42 toward the front side. The step portion 42 is provided at a position shifted from the connecting member 44 to the base end side.

段差部42は、図1に示すように、基端側仕切り本体41Bの表面56と直交する方向に立ち上がっている。段差部42には、第1本体59の上面に配置された結束バンド36が先端側から係止する。これにより、センサユニット30は、吐水管10の軸方向に対して位置決めされ、基端側への位置ずれが規制される。したがって、コネクタ34が吐水管10の基端側に引っ張られて外れたり、電線33が吐水管10の基端側に引っ張られて断線したりすることを防止できる。   As shown in FIG. 1, the step 42 rises in a direction orthogonal to the surface 56 of the base-side partition main body 41B. The binding band 36 arranged on the upper surface of the first main body 59 is locked to the step 42 from the front end side. Thereby, the sensor unit 30 is positioned in the axial direction of the water discharge pipe 10, and the displacement to the proximal end side is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connector 34 from being pulled off from the base end side of the water discharge pipe 10 and the electric wire 33 being pulled out from the base end side of the water discharge pipe 10 and being disconnected.

基端側仕切り本体41Bの裏面58には、図1に示すように、段差部42から基端側に向かって傾斜したスロープ部43が設けられている。スロープ部43は、基端側仕切り部材40Bの筒部55に形成されている。スロープ部43は、図8に示すように、第1本体59の裏面58と第2本体61の裏面58とを緩やかに繋ぐ傾斜面63を有している。   As shown in FIG. 1, a slope portion 43 that is inclined from the step portion 42 toward the base end side is provided on the back surface 58 of the base end-side partition main body 41B. The slope portion 43 is formed in the cylindrical portion 55 of the base end side partition member 40B. As shown in FIG. 8, the slope portion 43 has an inclined surface 63 that gently connects the back surface 58 of the first body 59 and the back surface 58 of the second body 61.

スロープ部43は、図5に示すように、吐水管10の延び方向に対して交差方向に並列した複数のリブ64を有している。複数のリブ64は、同じ形状、同じ大きさであり、基端側仕切り本体41Bの幅方向に概ね等間隔で配置されている。各リブ64の厚さ寸法は、隣接するリブ64の間の間隔より小さくされている。複数のリブ64は、基端側仕切り本体41Bの全幅にわたって配されている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the slope portion 43 has a plurality of ribs 64 arranged in a direction intersecting the direction in which the water discharge pipe 10 extends. The plurality of ribs 64 have the same shape and the same size, and are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the width direction of the base-side partition main body 41B. The thickness dimension of each rib 64 is smaller than the interval between adjacent ribs 64. The plurality of ribs 64 are arranged over the entire width of the base partition body 41B.

傾斜面63は、各リブ64に形成されている。各リブ64は、図8に示すように、段差部42の裏面58と第2本体61の裏面58とを繋ぐ三角形状をなしている。各リブ64は、基端側仕切り部材40Bの長さ方向に長く、傾斜面63の勾配は緩やかになっている。各リブ64の傾斜面63の一端は、第1本体59の裏面58に連なり、他端は第2本体61の裏面58に連なる。   The inclined surface 63 is formed on each rib 64. As shown in FIG. 8, each rib 64 has a triangular shape that connects the back surface 58 of the step portion 42 and the back surface 58 of the second main body 61. Each rib 64 is long in the length direction of the proximal end partition member 40B, and the slope of the inclined surface 63 is gentle. One end of the inclined surface 63 of each rib 64 is connected to the back surface 58 of the first main body 59, and the other end is connected to the back surface 58 of the second main body 61.

次に、上記のように構成された実施例の作用および効果について説明する。
本実施例の吐水装置Mは、基端側から先端側に向かって延びる吐水管10と、吐水口11を有して吐水管10の先端側に着脱自在に保持される吐水口部材12と、を備えている。吐水管10の内部には、吐水口部材12に給水する給水ホース18を収容するホース収容部19と、電気部品を収容する電気部品収容部21とが設けられ、ホース収容部19と電気部品収容部21との間を仕切る仕切り部材40を有している。仕切り部材40の表面(電気部品収容部21に臨む面)56に、センサユニット30が先端側から係止する段差部42が突出して設けられ、仕切り部材40の裏面(ホース収容部19に臨む面)58に、段差部42と段差部42より基端側の部分とを繋ぐスロープ部43が設けられている。この構成によれば、センサユニット30を位置決めでき、かつ給水ホース18がスロープ部43に沿って移動するため、摺動音を抑制することができる。
Next, the operation and effect of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The water discharge device M of the present embodiment includes a water discharge pipe 10 extending from a base end side to a distal end side, a water discharge port member 12 having a water discharge port 11 and detachably held at a distal end side of the water discharge pipe 10, It has. Inside the water discharge pipe 10, a hose accommodating portion 19 for accommodating a water supply hose 18 for supplying water to the water spouting member 12 and an electric component accommodating portion 21 for accommodating electric components are provided. A partition member 40 is provided for partitioning the space from the portion 21. On the front surface (the surface facing the electrical component housing 21) 56 of the partition member 40, a step portion 42 for locking the sensor unit 30 from the front end side is provided so as to protrude, and the rear surface of the partition member 40 (the surface facing the hose housing portion 19) is provided. ) 58 is provided with a slope portion 43 connecting the step portion 42 and a portion closer to the base end side than the step portion 42. According to this configuration, since the sensor unit 30 can be positioned and the water supply hose 18 moves along the slope portion 43, the sliding noise can be suppressed.

また、スロープ部43が、吐水管10の幅方向(延び方向に対して交差する方向)に並列した複数のリブ64により形成されている。この構成によれば、例えば吐水管10の幅全体に広がったスロープ部43を設ける場合に比して、給水ホース18とスロープ部43との接触面積を小さくできるから、給水ホース18の摺動性をよくすることができ、摺動音をより小さくできる。また、スロープ部43を複数のリブ64によって構成することにより、例えば吐水管の幅全体に広がったスロープ部を設ける場合に比してヒケを生じにくいため、容易に成形できる。   Further, the slope portion 43 is formed by a plurality of ribs 64 arranged in parallel in the width direction of the water discharge pipe 10 (direction intersecting the extending direction). According to this configuration, the contact area between the water supply hose 18 and the slope portion 43 can be reduced as compared with the case where the slope portion 43 is provided which extends over the entire width of the water discharge pipe 10, for example. And the sliding noise can be reduced. In addition, since the slope portion 43 is formed by the plurality of ribs 64, sink is less likely to occur than in a case where a slope portion extending over the entire width of the water discharge pipe is provided, so that the molding can be easily performed.
