Description

本発明は、手動ポンプ付の液体容器を筐体内に収容し、手動ポンプの押下ヘッドを押下する押下機構を備え、該押下により筐体外部に突出した吐出ノズルから液体を吐出させる液体の口腔用組成物供給装置に関する。 The present invention is provided for a pressing mechanism in which a liquid container with a manual pump is housed in a housing and the pressing head of the manual pump is pressed, and the liquid is discharged from a discharge nozzle protruding outside the housing by the pressing for the oral cavity. The present invention relates to a composition supply device.

この種の液体供給装置としては、従来、消毒液や洗浄液等の液体を収容したボトル形の液体容器であって押下ヘッドの押し下げ操作により容器内の液体を吐出ノズルへ供給するポンプ付きの液体容器を、筐体の内部に取り出し可能に格納し、検出領域に差し込まれたユーザー（利用者）の手指をセンサによって検出したときに、押下機構を駆動し、前記液体を吐出ノズルから吐出させる吐出動作を自動で行う液体供給装置が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１、２参照。）。 Conventionally, this type of liquid supply device is a bottle-shaped liquid container that contains liquids such as disinfectant liquid and cleaning liquid, and is a liquid container with a pump that supplies the liquid in the container to the discharge nozzle by pushing down the push head. Is retractably stored inside the housing, and when the user's finger inserted into the detection area is detected by the sensor, the pressing mechanism is driven to discharge the liquid from the discharge nozzle. A liquid supply device that automatically performs the above has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

このような従来の液体供給装置では、液体容器の押下ヘッドを、吐出ノズルが通常のものよりも長い特別なものに取り換えるか、あるいはノズル先端に延長パイプを取り付ける等して、ノズルが容器腹部よりも側方へ延びているものとし、該液体容器を筐体内に収容することで、筐体前面パネルに形成された縦長のノズルスロットから吐出ノズルが常時、突出した状態とされる。そして、この吐出ノズル先端の下側付近にユーザが手指を近づけることで、センサがこれを感知し、押下機構が押下ヘッドとともに吐出ノズルを下降させ、これに伴いノズル先端から手指に向けて液体が吐出される。 In such a conventional liquid supply device, the push head of the liquid container is replaced with a special one having a discharge nozzle longer than the usual one, or an extension pipe is attached to the tip of the nozzle so that the nozzle is from the abdomen of the container. By accommodating the liquid container in the housing, the discharge nozzle is always projected from the vertically long nozzle slot formed on the front panel of the housing. Then, when the user brings the finger close to the lower side of the tip of the ejection nozzle, the sensor detects this, and the pressing mechanism lowers the ejection nozzle together with the pressing head, and the liquid is discharged from the tip of the nozzle toward the finger. It is discharged.

従来の液体供給装置では、上記のように長いノズルにしなければ、ボトル形の液体容器を収容した状態でノズルを外部に突出させることができず、ユーザが手指等を差し出すこともできず、使い勝手が悪く、また、液だれにより筐体内部も汚れてしまう。 In the conventional liquid supply device, unless the nozzle is long as described above, the nozzle cannot be projected to the outside while the bottle-shaped liquid container is housed, and the user cannot extend his / her fingers or the like, which is convenient. In addition, the inside of the housing becomes dirty due to dripping.

他方、このような長いノズルの押出ヘッドへの交換又は延長パイプの取り付けは、作業性が悪くなるとともに、部品点数が増えてコストも増大する。また、常時ノズルが突出していることから、物が当ったり手指が当たったりいたずら等によりノズルが破損する虞があり、設置場所によっては汚れや虫などが付着しやすく衛生上の問題があり、特に洗口液やうがい薬など人の口に入れるような液体の口腔用組成物を供給するためのものとしては使用しにくいものであった。 On the other hand, replacement of such a long nozzle with an extrusion head or attachment of an extension pipe deteriorates workability, increases the number of parts, and increases the cost. In addition, since the nozzle is always protruding, there is a risk that the nozzle will be damaged due to object hits, finger hits, mischief, etc., and depending on the installation location, dirt and insects may easily adhere, which may cause hygiene problems. It was difficult to use as a liquid oral composition such as mouthwash and mouthwash that could be put into the human mouth.

特開２００１−１５３０３６号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-153036 特開２０１２−１４４２８３号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-144283

そこで、本発明が前述の状況に鑑み、解決しようとするところは、長いノズルの押出ヘッドへの交換作業や延長パイプの取り付け作業が不要で、一般的なポンプ付き液体容器をそのまま使用することができ、また、ノズルに物や手指が当ったり、いたずら、汚れや虫などの付着も防止でき、洗口液やうがい薬など人の口に入れる液体の口腔用組成物供給装置として好適であり、使い勝手もよく、液だれによる筐体内部の汚れも防止できる液体の口腔用組成物供給装置を提供する点にある。 Therefore, what the present invention seeks to solve in view of the above situation is that it is not necessary to replace the long nozzle with the extrusion head or attach the extension pipe, and it is possible to use a general liquid container with a pump as it is. It can also prevent objects and fingers from hitting the nozzle, and prevent mischief, dirt, insects, etc. from adhering to it, and is suitable as a liquid oral composition supply device that can be put into the human mouth such as mouthwash and mouthwash. The point is to provide a liquid oral composition supply device that is easy to use and can prevent the inside of the housing from being contaminated by dripping.

本発明者は、かかる現況に鑑み、鋭意検討した結果、押下時にのみノズルが突出し、不使用時にはノズルが筐体内部に退避するようにすれば、ノズルに物や手指があたったり、いたずら等による破損や、汚れや虫などの付着を防止でき、使い勝手もよいものとすることができることを発案し、さらに検討をすすめた結果、ボトル形の液体容器の形状に着目し、細い首部から押下ヘッドの移動範囲にわたり筐体内方に凹んだ凹陥部を設けることができ、該凹陥部の吐出ノズルの位置に対応する領域に下側ほど筐体内方の位置となる傾斜面を設け、該傾斜面にノズル用穴を設けることで、長いノズルの押出ヘッドへの交換作業や延長パイプの取り付けをしなくても、吐出ノズルが上方の位置にあるときはノズル用穴から吐出ノズルが突出せず内側に退避し、押下時に下降するときにのみノズル用穴から突出するように構成することができ、液だれによる筐体内部の汚れも防止できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of diligent studies in view of the current situation, the present inventor considers that the nozzle protrudes only when pressed, and if the nozzle retracts inside the housing when not in use, the nozzle may be hit by an object or finger, or may be mischievous. As a result of further study, we focused on the shape of the bottle-shaped liquid container and focused on the shape of the bottle-shaped liquid container. A recessed portion that is recessed inward in the housing can be provided over the moving range, and an inclined surface that is positioned inward in the housing is provided in the region corresponding to the position of the discharge nozzle of the recessed portion, and the nozzle is provided on the inclined surface. By providing a hole, the discharge nozzle does not protrude from the nozzle hole and retracts inward when the discharge nozzle is in the upper position, without having to replace the long nozzle with the extrusion head or attach an extension pipe. However, it has been found that it can be configured to protrude from the nozzle hole only when it is lowered when pressed, and it is possible to prevent the inside of the housing from being contaminated by dripping, and the present invention has been completed.

It is provided with a nozzle hole 20 for projecting the discharge nozzle 91 to the outside of the housing 10 at the time of the pressing.

収容する液体容器９は、公知の手動ポンプ付のボトル形の口腔用組成物の液体容器を広く用いることができる。このようなボトル形の液体容器は、図１に示すように、液体の口腔用組成物が収容されるボトル本体である胴部９４と、胴部の上端のテーパー状に小径に窄まる傾斜面よりなる肩部９３と、その上端小径部から上方に延び、手動ポンプ本体の取り付けキャップが着脱可能に取り付けられた首部９２と、その上端から延び、側方へ突出した吐出ノズル９１が一体的に形成された手動ポンプの押下ヘッド９０とを備えている。 As the liquid container 9 for accommodating, a liquid container of a known bottle-shaped oral composition with a manual pump can be widely used. As shown in FIG. 1, such a bottle-shaped liquid container has a body portion 94, which is a bottle body for accommodating a liquid oral composition, and an inclined surface having a tapered small diameter at the upper end of the body portion. The shoulder portion 93, the neck portion 92 extending upward from the upper end small diameter portion thereof and to which the mounting cap of the manual pump body is detachably attached, and the discharge nozzle 91 extending from the upper end thereof and protruding laterally are integrally integrated. It comprises a formed manual pump push head 90.

筐体１０は、図１〜図３及び図５に示すように、液体容器９が収容される前面開口した箱状の本体部４と、前面開口を着脱可能に塞ぐ前面パネル２とより構成されている。符号５は本体部４の底部の前方向に外部に取り付けられる付属的なトレーである。本体部４の内部に、前記収容部１１および押下機構１２が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, the housing 10 is composed of a box-shaped main body 4 having a front opening for accommodating a liquid container 9 and a front panel 2 for detachably closing the front opening. ing. Reference numeral 5 is an attached tray attached to the outside in the front direction of the bottom portion of the main body portion 4. The accommodating portion 11 and the pressing mechanism 12 are provided inside the main body portion 4.

収容部１１は、液体容器９が収容される本体部４内部の空間であり、図１及び図５に示すように、本体部４の後壁４０内面には収容される液体容器９の胴部９４を支持する支持片４１が高さ方向の複数の位置に設けられ、液体容器９を安定保持している。また、本体部４を構成する後壁４０および左右側壁４２、４３の内面下部には、液体容器９の底面を支持して重量を支える載置板６の端部を係止する突起部４４、４５、４６がそれぞれ同じ複数の高さ位置に設けられ、収容部１１に収容される液体容器９の寸法（高さ寸法）に応じて所定位置の突起部４４、４５、４６をそれぞれ選択することにより載置板６の高さを調整できるように構成されている。 The accommodating portion 11 is a space inside the main body portion 4 in which the liquid container 9 is accommodated, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the body portion of the liquid container 9 accommodated on the inner surface of the rear wall 40 of the main body portion 4 Support pieces 41 that support the 94 are provided at a plurality of positions in the height direction to stably hold the liquid container 9. Further, on the lower inner surface of the rear wall 40 and the left and right side walls 42 and 43 constituting the main body 4, a protrusion 44 for locking the end of the mounting plate 6 that supports the bottom surface of the liquid container 9 and supports the weight, 45, 46 are provided at the same plurality of height positions, respectively, and the protrusions 44, 45, 46 at predetermined positions are selected according to the dimensions (height dimensions) of the liquid container 9 accommodated in the accommodating portion 11. The height of the mounting plate 6 can be adjusted by the above method.

図１及び図４に示すように、筐体１０の前面パネル２における、液体容器９の少なくとも首部９２から押下ヘッド９０の移動範囲内の所定位置に至る範囲に対応する領域には、筐体１０内方に凹んだ凹陥部３が設けられている。凹陥部３の押下ヘッド９０とともに移動する吐出ノズル９１の位置に対応する領域には、下側ほど筐体内方の位置となる傾斜面３１が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, in the front panel 2 of the housing 10, the region corresponding to a range from at least the neck portion 92 of the liquid container 9 to a predetermined position within the moving range of the push head 90 is the housing 10 in the front panel 2. A recessed portion 3 recessed inward is provided. In the region corresponding to the position of the discharge nozzle 91 that moves together with the push head 90 of the recessed portion 3, an inclined surface 31 that is positioned toward the inside of the housing is provided on the lower side.

ノズル用穴２０は、この傾斜面３１に開口して設けられており、該傾斜面３１は、吐出ノズル９１が上方の位置にあるとき、ノズル用穴２０から吐出ノズル９１が突出せずに筐体内側に退避しているよう設定されている。このように非使用時に吐出ノズル９１がノズル用穴２０から内側に退避しているため、ノズルに物や手指があたったり、いたずら等による破損や、汚れや虫などの付着を防止でき、衛生的にも良好なものとなる。また、押下時には、図６に示すように、前記傾斜面３１のノズル用穴２０から吐出ノズル９１が外部に突出するように構成されており、使い勝手も損なうことはない。このように衛生的であることから、不特定多数のユーザが利用する場所、たとえばホテル、病院や介護施設などの医療機関、企業、公共の施設のトイレや洗面所などに設置するのに好適なものとなる。 The nozzle hole 20 is provided so as to open in the inclined surface 31, and the inclined surface 31 is formed so that the discharge nozzle 91 does not protrude from the nozzle hole 20 when the discharge nozzle 91 is located at an upper position.

Since the discharge nozzle 91 is retracted inward from the nozzle hole 20 when not in use in this way, it is possible to prevent damage due to objects or fingers from hitting the nozzle, mischief, etc., and adhesion of dirt, insects, etc., which is hygienic. It will also be good. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when pressed, the discharge nozzle 91 is configured to protrude to the outside from the nozzle hole 20 of the inclined surface 31, and the usability is not impaired. Due to such hygiene, it is suitable for installation in places used by an unspecified number of users, such as hotels, medical institutions such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, companies, and toilets and washrooms in public facilities. It becomes a thing.

また、長いノズルの押出ヘッドへの交換作業や延長パイプの取り付けを行うことなく、ノズルが容器腹部よりも側方へ延びていない、一般的な手動ポンプ付のボトル形の液体容器９をそのまま用いつつ、上述のとおり吐出ノズル９１が上方の位置にあるときにはノズル用穴２０から吐出ノズルが突出せず内側に退避し、押下時に下降するときにのみノズル用穴２０から突出するように構成することができるため、液体容器９の取り換え時の作業性も良好で、部品点数も増やすことなくコストを低減でき、使用後の液だれもノズル用穴２０から外部に排出されるため、筐体内部の汚れも防止できるのである。 Also, the bottle-shaped liquid container 9 with a general manual pump, in which the nozzle does not extend laterally from the abdomen of the container, is used as it is without replacing the long nozzle with the extrusion head or attaching an extension pipe. However, as described above, when the discharge nozzle 91 is in the upper position, the discharge nozzle does not protrude from the nozzle hole 20 but retracts inward, and is configured to protrude from the nozzle hole 20 only when it descends when pressed. Therefore, the workability when replacing the liquid container 9 is good, the cost can be reduced without increasing the number of parts, and the liquid dripping after use is discharged to the outside from the nozzle hole 20. It can also prevent dirt.

また、図４に示すように、本例では、ノズル用穴２０は、吐出ノズル９１が上方の位置にあるとき、吐出ノズル９１の先端開口９５の下端９５ａがノズル用穴２０の前面開口２２の上端２２ａより上側に位置するよう設定されている。これにより、前方からノズル用穴２０を覗いても吐出ノズル先端開口９５が見えない構造となるため、いたずらや汚れの付着などをより確実に防止することができることとなる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in this example, in the nozzle hole 20, when the discharge nozzle 91 is in the upper position, the lower end 95a of the tip opening 95 of the discharge nozzle 91 is the front opening 22 of the nozzle hole 20. It is set to be located above the upper end 22a. As a result, the discharge nozzle tip opening 95 cannot be seen even when the nozzle hole 20 is viewed from the front, so that mischief and adhesion of dirt can be prevented more reliably.

前面パネル２の内側面のノズル用穴２０を臨む左右の位置には、図１及び図５に示すように、双方の間に吐出ノズル９１を位置させて吐出ノズル９１の上下移動を案内する一対の案内壁２１が設けられており、吐出ノズル９１が押下ヘッド９０とともに上下に安定して移動し、且つ液体容器９を取り付ける作業の際には吐出ノズル９１の位置（方向）合せが容易かつ確実となり、作業性が良好となる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a pair of discharge nozzles 91 are positioned between the two at the left and right positions facing the nozzle holes 20 on the inner surface of the front panel 2 to guide the vertical movement of the discharge nozzles 91. The guide wall 21 is provided, the discharge nozzle 91 moves stably up and down together with the push head 90, and the position (direction) of the discharge nozzle 91 can be easily and reliably aligned when the liquid container 9 is attached. Therefore, workability is improved.

凹陥部３は、より具体的には、前面パネル２における、液体容器９の肩部９３から押下ヘッド９０に至る範囲に対応する領域に設けられている。そして、凹陥部３の肩部９３に対応する領域には、上側ほど筐体内方の位置となる第２の傾斜面３２が設けられており、吐出ノズル９１から吐出された液体を当該傾斜面３２を利用してコップ８で確実かつ容易に受け止めることができるように構成されている。 More specifically, the recessed portion 3 is provided in the region of the front panel 2 corresponding to the range from the shoulder portion 93 of the liquid container 9 to the push head 90. A second inclined surface 32 is provided in the region corresponding to the shoulder portion 93 of the recessed portion 3, which is located inward of the housing toward the upper side, and the liquid discharged from the discharge nozzle 91 is discharged from the inclined surface 32. It is configured so that it can be reliably and easily received by the cup 8 using the above.

また、この第２の傾斜面３２には、図１〜図３に示すように、吐出ノズル９１から吐出される液体を注ぐために該傾斜面３２に沿って配されたコップ８の側面を部分的に受け入れる位置決め用の凹部３３が形成されており、吐出前のノズルが筐体内に隠れて見えない本発明の装置においても、迷うことなくコップを適切な位置に添えることができ、良好な使い勝手が維持されている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the second inclined surface 32 partially has a side surface of a cup 8 arranged along the inclined surface 32 for pouring the liquid discharged from the discharge nozzle 91. Even in the device of the present invention in which the nozzle before ejection is hidden in the housing and cannot be seen, the cup can be attached to an appropriate position without hesitation, and good usability is achieved. It is maintained.

押下機構１２としては、図１、図７及び図８に示すように、押下ヘッド９０の上面に当接して該押下ヘッド９０を押し下げる当接片７４、その後端から下方に縦方向に延びる垂下板７５、及びその下端から後方に延びる短い下端板７６を有する押下部材７０と、本体部４の後壁４０の内面上部の位置に取り付けられた箱状の内部フレーム１７に設けられるガイド枠７１であって、垂下板７５を上下移動可能に保持して押下部材７０を上下に案内するガイド枠７１と、ガイド枠７１に対して押下部材７０を上方に付勢するばね７２と、後述する駆動部１３により回転駆動されるカム７３であって、押下部材７０の下端板７６を下方に押し下げることにより下方に移動させるカム７３とが設けられている。 As the pressing mechanism 12, as shown in FIGS. 1, 7, and 8, a contact piece 74 that abuts on the upper surface of the pressing head 90 and pushes down the pressing head 90, and a hanging plate extending downward from the rear end in the vertical direction. A push member 70 having a short lower end plate 76 extending rearward from the lower end of the 75, and a guide frame 71 provided on a box-shaped inner frame 17 attached to a position on the upper inner surface of the rear wall 40 of the main body 4. A guide frame 71 that holds the hanging plate 75 so as to be movable up and down and guides the pushing member 70 up and down, a spring 72 that urges the pushing member 70 upward with respect to the guide frame 71, and a drive unit 13 described later. The cam 73 is rotationally driven by the cam 73, and is provided with a cam 73 that moves the lower end plate 76 of the pressing member 70 downward by pushing the lower end plate 76 downward.

さらに、本例では、押下機構１２を動作させる駆動部１３と、該駆動部１３の動作を制御する制御部１４と、前記駆動部に駆動電力を供給する電力供給部１５とが、筐体１０の内部に設けられ、電力供給部１５からの電力を受けた駆動部１３の駆動力により、上述の押下機構１２を動作させるように構成されている。駆動部１３は、押下機構１２のカム７３の入力軸７３０を駆動させるモータ８０および歯車機構８１より構成され、電力供給部１５としては電池ボックス８２が設けられている。 Further, in this example, the drive unit 13 that operates the pressing mechanism 12, the control unit 14 that controls the operation of the drive unit 13, and the power supply unit 15 that supplies the drive power to the drive unit are the housing 10. It is configured to operate the above-mentioned pressing mechanism 12 by the driving force of the driving unit 13 provided inside the power supply unit 15 and receiving the electric power from the power supply unit 15. The drive unit 13 is composed of a motor 80 for driving the input shaft 730 of the cam 73 of the push mechanism 12 and a gear mechanism 81, and a battery box 82 is provided as the power supply unit 15.

また、本例では、さらにコップ８を検出する検出センサ１６が、図２にも示すように凹陥部３の凹んだ空間、とくにコップ８が配される第２の傾斜面３２に対応する位置に露出させて設けられており、制御部１４は、該検出センサ１６からの出力信号に応じて前記駆動部１３の動作を制御するように構成されている。これにより、ユーザが凹陥部３の前記空間の所定の位置（傾斜面３２に沿った位置）にコップを差し出すだけで、自動的に下降した吐出ノズル９１からコップ内に液体が吐出し、使い勝手がさらに向上する。 Further, in this example, the detection sensor 16 that further detects the cup 8 is located at a position corresponding to the recessed space of the recessed portion 3, particularly the second inclined surface 32 on which the cup 8 is arranged, as shown in FIG. It is exposed and is provided, and the control unit 14 is configured to control the operation of the drive unit 13 in response to an output signal from the detection sensor 16. As a result, the user simply inserts the cup into the predetermined position (position along the inclined surface 32) of the space of the recessed portion 3, and the liquid is automatically discharged from the ejected nozzle 91 that has been lowered into the cup, which is convenient. Further improve.

制御部１４は、液体容器９をセットしてからの押下機構による押下回数をカウントし、所定の回数に達することで、薬剤切れのお知らせランプやブザーを作動させるように構成されている。押下回数は、本例では図１１に示すようにカム７３の入力軸７７からオフセットした裏面の位置に突起７３１を設けるとともに、カム７３とともに回転する前記突起７３１に接触する接触センサ７７を設けることでカム７３の回転数をカウントすることにより行われる。押下動作を検出するその他の検出手段で押下回数をカウントすることも勿論可能である。なお、本発明は本例のように駆動部や制御部、電力供給部を設けて自動的に押下機構を動作させるものに何ら限定されるものではなく、たとえばレバー式、ベダル式など、手動で押下機構を動作させるものとしても勿論よい。押下機構も特に本例の構造に限定されるものではない。 The control unit 14 is configured to count the number of times the liquid container 9 is pressed by the pressing mechanism after the liquid container 9 is set, and to operate the drug-out notification lamp or buzzer when the number of times the liquid container 9 is pressed reaches a predetermined number of times. In this example, the number of presses is determined by providing a protrusion 731 at a position on the back surface offset from the input shaft 77 of the cam 73 and providing a contact sensor 77 that contacts the protrusion 731 that rotates with the cam 73, as shown in FIG. This is done by counting the number of rotations of the cam 73. Of course, it is also possible to count the number of times of pressing by other detection means for detecting the pressing operation. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the one in which a drive unit, a control unit, and a power supply unit are provided to automatically operate the pressing mechanism as in the present example, and for example, a lever type, a pedal type, etc. are manually operated. Of course, the pressing mechanism may be operated. The pressing mechanism is not particularly limited to the structure of this example.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこうした実施例に何ら限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々なる形態で実施し得ることは勿論である。 Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention.
