Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a battery portion from being covered with water by interrupting entering of leakage from the interior of a valve enclosure through a valve shaft into a water-proof case by insulating means in an electric driven control valve device of a bathroom or the like. CONSTITUTION:According to the temperature set by a setting device 35, a control device 36 sends a signal to a mixing valve driving device 28 to control a mixing valve 22, whereby mixed water equal to the set temperature can be obtained. The mixing valve driving device 28 is covered with a water-proof case 32. Though a valve shaft 25 of the mixing valve 22 and a driving shaft 37 of the mixing valve driving device 28 are connected by a connecting joint 30, they are insulated from each other through a seal material 33 so that water or humidity in a valve enclosure 21 is kept from entering the water-proof case 32 through the connecting joint 30. That is, the connecting joint 30 is formed as insulating means 38. Thus, even under high humidity condition of a bathroom or the like, the device can be used safely.
