Description
この発明は、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することを可能とする鍵付きウォーターサーバーに関する。
This invention relates to a water server with a key that can prevent a burn accident of an infant very effectively.
従来、主にオフィスや病院などでウォーターサーバーが利用されてきたが、近年、水の安全や健康への関心の高まりから、一般家庭にもウォーターサーバーが普及しつつある。ウォーターサーバーは、通常、筐体と、その筐体の内部に収容された冷水タンクと、その冷水タンク内の低温の飲料水を筐体の外部に注出する冷水注出路と、その冷水注出路を開閉する冷水注出弁と、その冷水注出弁を開弁するためにユーザーが操作する冷水注出操作部とを有し、この冷水注出操作部を操作することで冷水を利用することができるようになっている。
Conventionally, water servers have been used mainly in offices and hospitals, but in recent years, water servers are becoming popular in ordinary households due to growing interest in water safety and health. A water server usually has a housing, a cold water tank accommodated in the housing, a cold water pouring path for pouring low-temperature drinking water in the cold water tank to the outside of the housing, and the cold water pouring path. A chilled water pouring valve that opens and closes the chilled water, and a chilled water pouring operation section that is operated by a user to open the chilled water pouring valve. Can be done.
また、ウォーターサーバーは、筐体の内部に収容された温水タンクと、その温水タンク内の高温の飲料水を筐体の外部に注出する温水注出路と、その温水注出路を開閉する温水注出弁と、その温水注出弁を開弁するためにユーザーが操作する温水注出操作部とを更に有し、この温水注出操作部を操作することで温水を利用することができるようになっているものが多い。
The water server also includes a hot water tank housed in the housing, a hot water pouring path for pouring hot drinking water in the hot water tank to the outside of the housing, and hot water pouring that opens and closes the hot water pouring path. It further has a warming water pouring operation part operated by a user to open the valve and the warm water pouring valve so that hot water can be used by operating this warm water pouring operation part There are many things.
ところで、温水が利用できるタイプのウォーターサーバーにおいては、幼児が不用意にウォーターサーバーを操作して温水を注出するのを防止するため、チャイルドロック機能が設けられている。チャイルドロック機能は、ウォーターサーバーから温水を注出するための操作を、2つ以上の操作の組み合わせとすることにより、幼児が操作しても簡単には温水が注出されないようにしたものである(例えば下記特許文献1)。
By the way, in the type of water server that can use hot water, a child lock function is provided to prevent an infant from inadvertently operating the water server to pour out hot water. The child lock function is a combination of two or more operations for pouring hot water from the water server, so that hot water is not easily poured even if operated by an infant. (For example, the following patent document 1).
しかしながら、チャイルドロック機能を設けた場合であっても、幼児がいろいろ操作するうちに、温水を注出する操作がたまたま偶然に成立してしまったり、大人が温水を注出するときに行なう操作を幼児が見て真似したりする可能性があったため、幼児が温水を注出してやけどする危険性を完全には無くすことができないという問題があった。
However, even when the child lock function is provided, the operation to pour out hot water happens to happen accidentally while the infant performs various operations, or the operation to be performed when an adult pours out hot water. There was a problem that the risk of scalding hot water from being poured out by the infant could not be completely eliminated because there was a possibility that the infant would look and imitate it.
すなわち、温水を注出するための操作を複雑化すればするほど、チャイルドロック機能を強化することができ、幼児のやけど事故をより効果的に防止することが可能となるが、その反面、ユーザーである大人が温水を注出するときの操作が煩雑なものとなり、ウォーターサーバーの利便性が犠牲になってしまう。そのため、チャイルドロック機能を強化するにも限界があり、チャイルドロック機能だけでは、幼児が温水を注出する危険性を完全に無くすことが難しかった。
In other words, the more complicated the operation for pouring hot water is, the more the child lock function can be strengthened, and it becomes possible to prevent infant burn accidents more effectively. The operation when an adult is pouring hot water becomes complicated and the convenience of the water server is sacrificed. For this reason, there is a limit to strengthening the child lock function, and it has been difficult to completely eliminate the risk of the infant pouring hot water with the child lock function alone.
この発明が解決しようとする課題は、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能なウォーターサーバーを提供することである。
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a water server capable of extremely effectively preventing an infant burn accident.
上記課題を解決するために、この発明では以下の構成のウォーターサーバーを提供する。

A hot water tank disposed inside the housing;
A hot water pouring path for pouring hot drinking water in the hot water tank to the outside of the housing;
A hot water pouring valve for opening and closing the hot water pouring path;
A hot water dispensing operation unit operated by a user to open the hot water dispensing valve;
A key member configured to be carried independently from the housing;

このようにすると、鍵部材が筐体から独立して持ち運ぶことができるように構成されているので、鍵部材を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することが可能である。そして、鍵部材が無ければ、温水注出操作部を操作しても温水注出弁が開弁しない状態となる。すなわち、幼児がウォーターサーバーをいろいろ操作したとしても、鍵部材が無いかぎり、温水は注出されない。このように、鍵部材を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することで、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能となる。
In this case, since the key member can be carried independently from the casing, the key member can be stored in a place out of the reach of infants. And if there is no key member, even if it operates a warm water extraction operation part, it will be in the state where a warm water extraction valve does not open. That is, even if the infant operates the water server in various ways, the hot water is not poured out unless there is a key member. Thus, by storing the key member in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to extremely effectively prevent an infant burn accident.

Thus, by storing the key member in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to prevent an infant's burn accident very effectively.
図1に、この発明の第1実施形態の鍵付きウォーターサーバーを示す。このウォーターサーバーは、床面Fに載置された筐体1と、筐体1の内部に収容された冷水タンク2と、冷水タンク2内の低温の飲料水を筐体1の外部に注出する冷水注出路3と、冷水注出路3を開閉する冷水注出弁4と、冷水注出弁4を開弁するためにユーザーが操作する冷水注出操作部5(図2参照)と、筐体1の内部に収容された温水タンク6と、温水タンク6内の高温の飲料水を筐体1の外部に注出する温水注出路7と、温水注出路7を開閉する温水注出弁8と、温水注出弁8を開弁するためにユーザーが操作する温水注出操作部9とを有する。
FIG. 1 shows a keyed water server according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This water server pours the housing 1 placed on the floor F, the cold water tank 2 accommodated in the housing 1, and the low-temperature drinking water in the cold water tank 2 to the outside of the housing 1. A chilled water pouring path 3, a chilled water pouring valve 4 for opening and closing the chilled water pouring path 3, a chilled water pouring operation section 5 (see FIG. 2) operated by a user to open the chilled water pouring valve 4, A hot water tank 6 housed in the body 1, a hot water pouring path 7 for pouring hot drinking water in the hot water tank 6 to the outside of the housing 1, and a hot water pouring valve 8 for opening and closing the hot water pouring path 7 And a hot water pouring operation unit 9 operated by a user to open the hot water pouring valve 8.
筐体1は、上下方向に延びる筒部10と、筒部10の上端を塞ぐように設けられた天板11と、筒部10の下端を塞ぐように設けられた底板12とを有する。筒部10は、左右一対の側面板13と、側面板13の前縁同士を連結する前面板14と、側面板13の後縁同士を連結する後面板15とで構成されている。
The housing 1 has a cylindrical portion 10 extending in the vertical direction, a top plate 11 provided so as to close the upper end of the cylindrical portion 10, and a bottom plate 12 provided so as to close the lower end of the cylindrical portion 10. The cylindrical portion 10 is composed of a pair of left and right side plates 13, a front plate 14 that connects the front edges of the side plates 13, and a rear plate 15 that connects the rear edges of the side plates 13.
筐体1の天板11には、交換式の原水容器16が着脱可能にセットされている。原水容器16は、水出口17を下向きにした姿勢で天板11に載置される。原水容器16の容量は、満水状態で10~20リットル程度である。この原水容器16は、内部の残水量の減少に伴って収縮するように柔軟性をもたせて形成されている。天板11には、原水容器16から冷水タンク2に飲料水を導入する原水導入管18が設けられている。
A replaceable raw water container 16 is detachably set on the top plate 11 of the housing 1. The raw water container 16 is placed on the top plate 11 with the water outlet 17 facing downward. The capacity of the raw water container 16 is about 10 to 20 liters when it is full. The raw water container 16 is formed with flexibility so as to contract as the amount of residual water inside decreases. The top plate 11 is provided with a raw water introduction pipe 18 for introducing drinking water from the raw water container 16 to the cold water tank 2.

One end of the raw water introduction pipe 18 is detachably connected to the raw water container 16, and the other end of the raw water introduction pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the cold water tank 2. A float valve 19 that opens and closes according to the water level in the cold water tank 2 is provided at the end of the raw water introduction pipe 18 on the cold water tank 2 side. When the raw water container 16 is of a type formed with rigidity so as not to be deformed even if the amount of residual water inside is reduced, the float valve 19 is unnecessary. In this case, the water level in the cold water tank 2 becomes the same height as the end of the raw water introduction pipe 18 on the cold water tank 2 side. A decorative cover 20 that covers the raw water container 16 is attached to the top of the housing 1.
冷水タンク2は、空気と飲料水を上下二層に収容している。冷水タンク2には、冷水タンク2内に収容された飲料水を冷却する冷却装置21が取り付けられている。また、冷水タンク2内には、冷水タンク2の内部を上下に仕切るバッフル板22が設けられている。冷却装置21は、冷水タンク2内のバッフル板22よりも下方の飲料水を低温(5℃程度)に保つ。冷水タンク2の飲料水の容量は、原水容器16の容量よりも小さく、2~4リットル程度である。
The cold water tank 2 contains air and drinking water in upper and lower layers. The cold water tank 2 is provided with a cooling device 21 for cooling the drinking water stored in the cold water tank 2. In the cold water tank 2, a baffle plate 22 that partitions the inside of the cold water tank 2 up and down is provided. The cooling device 21 keeps the drinking water below the baffle plate 22 in the cold water tank 2 at a low temperature (about 5 ° C.). The capacity of drinking water in the cold water tank 2 is smaller than the capacity of the raw water container 16 and is about 2 to 4 liters.
冷水注出路3は、冷水タンク2と、筐体1の前面側に開口する冷水出口23(図2参照)との間を連通している。冷水注出路3の冷水出口23の側の端部には、冷水注出弁4が設けられている。冷水注出弁4を開弁すると、冷水タンク2内の低温の飲料水が冷水注出路3を通り、冷水出口23から注出される。

このウォーターサーバーは、幼児が不用意にウォーターサーバーを操作して温水を注出するのを防止するため、チャイルドロック機能が設けられている。チャイルドロック機能は、温水注出弁8を開弁するための操作を、2つ以上の操作の組み合わせ(この実施形態では、後述のチャイルドロック操作部材30の操作と、温水注出操作レバー31の操作との組み合わせ)とすることにより、幼児が操作しても簡単には温水注出弁8が開弁しないようにしたものである。
This water server is equipped with a child lock function to prevent an infant from inadvertently operating the water server to pour out hot water. The child lock function is a combination of two or more operations for opening the hot water pouring valve 8 (in this embodiment, an operation of a child lock operating member 30 described later and an operation of the hot water pouring operation lever 31). In combination with the operation), the hot water discharge valve 8 is not easily opened even when an infant operates.
さらに、このウォーターサーバーは、もし幼児がウォーターサーバーをいろいろ操作したとしても、温水の注出が確実に防止されるようにするため、上記チャイルドロック機能に加えて、持ち運び可能な鍵部材を用いたチャイルドプルーフ機能が設けられている。このチャイルドプルーフ機能は、図3に示す鍵部材32が有るときだけ、温水注出操作部9(チャイルドロック操作部材30と温水注出操作レバー31)の操作に応じて温水注出弁8が開弁するようにし、鍵部材32が無い状態では、温水注出操作部9を操作しても温水注出弁8が開弁しないようにする機能である。以下具体例を説明する。
Furthermore, this water server uses a portable key member in addition to the child lock function to ensure that hot water can be prevented from being poured out even if an infant operates the water server in various ways. A child proof function is provided. In this child proof function, only when the key member 32 shown in FIG. 3 is provided, the hot water pouring valve 8 is opened according to the operation of the hot water pouring operation portion 9 (the child lock operation member 30 and the hot water pouring operation lever 31). The function is to prevent the warm water dispensing valve 8 from opening even when the warm water dispensing operation unit 9 is operated in a state where the key member 32 is not provided. A specific example will be described below.
図4~6に示すように、温水注出弁8は、温水注出路7を閉じる閉弁位置(図4参照)と、温水注出路7を開く開弁位置(図6参照)との間で移動可能に設けられた弁体33と、弁体33を開弁位置から閉弁位置に付勢するバルブスプリング34と、弁体33と一体に移動するように弁体33に固定された弁棒35と、温水を注出するためにユーザーが操作する温水注出操作レバー31とを有する。温水注出操作レバー31は、連結ピン36を介して弁棒35に連結され、この温水注出操作レバー31を操作することで弁体33を閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動させることが可能となっている。このように、温水注出弁8は、ユーザーの操作力により閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動する弁体33をもつ手動開閉弁とされている。
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the hot water pouring valve 8 is located between the valve closing position (see FIG. 4) for closing the hot water pouring path 7 and the valve opening position (see FIG. 6) for opening the hot water pouring path 7. A valve body 33 provided so as to be movable, a valve spring 34 for urging the valve body 33 from the valve opening position to the valve closing position, and a valve rod fixed to the valve body 33 so as to move integrally with the valve body 33 35 and a hot water pouring operation lever 31 operated by the user for pouring hot water. The hot water pouring operation lever 31 is connected to the valve rod 35 via the connecting pin 36, and the valve element 33 can be moved from the valve closing position to the valve opening position by operating the hot water pouring operation lever 31. It has become. Thus, the hot water pouring valve 8 is a manual on-off valve having the valve element 33 that moves from the valve closing position to the valve opening position by the user's operating force.
さらに、温水注出弁8は、弁体33が閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動するのを阻止する開弁阻止位置(図4参照)と温水注出弁8の弁体33が閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動するのを許容する開弁許容位置(図6参照)との間を移動可能に設けられた開弁阻止部材37と、開弁阻止部材37を開弁許容位置から開弁阻止位置に付勢するロックスプリング38と、開弁阻止部材37を開弁阻止位置から開弁許容位置に移動させるためにユーザーが操作するチャイルドロック操作部材30とを有する。
Further, the hot water dispensing valve 8 includes a valve opening preventing position (see FIG. 4) that prevents the valve element 33 from moving from the valve closing position to the valve opening position, and the valve element 33 of the hot water dispensing valve 8 is in the valve closing position. A valve opening blocking member 37 movably provided between a valve opening permission position (see FIG. 6) that permits movement from the valve opening position to the valve opening position, and opening the valve opening blocking member 37 from the valve opening permission position. It has a lock spring 38 that biases to the blocking position, and a child lock operating member 30 that is operated by the user to move the valve opening blocking member 37 from the valve opening blocking position to the valve opening permission position.
弁棒35は、上下方向に延びるように配置され、上下に移動可能に支持されている。弁体33が閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動するとき、弁棒35は上方に移動し、弁体33が開弁位置から閉弁位置に移動するとき、弁棒35は下方に移動する。弁棒35の外周には、下側が大径となる段部39が形成されている。開弁阻止部材37には、弁棒35を挿通させる上下方向の貫通孔40が形成されている。開弁阻止部材37が開弁阻止位置(図4参照)にあるとき、開弁阻止部材37の貫通孔40の縁が、弁棒35の外周の段部39に係合して弁棒35の上方への移動を阻止し、開弁阻止部材37が開弁許容位置(図6参照)にあるとき、開弁阻止部材37の貫通孔40は、弁棒35の外周の段部39を通過させて弁棒35の上方への移動を許容するようになっている。
The valve rod 35 is arranged so as to extend in the vertical direction and is supported so as to be movable up and down. When the valve element 33 moves from the valve closing position to the valve opening position, the valve rod 35 moves upward. When the valve element 33 moves from the valve opening position to the valve closing position, the valve rod 35 moves downward. On the outer periphery of the valve stem 35, a step portion 39 having a large diameter on the lower side is formed. The valve opening blocking member 37 is formed with a vertical through hole 40 through which the valve rod 35 is inserted. When the valve-opening blocking member 37 is in the valve-opening blocking position (see FIG. 4), the edge of the through hole 40 of the valve-opening blocking member 37 engages with the step 39 on the outer periphery of the valve rod 35 and When the valve-opening blocking member 37 is in the valve-opening allowed position (see FIG. 6), the through-hole 40 of the valve-opening blocking member 37 allows the step 39 on the outer periphery of the valve rod 35 to pass. Thus, upward movement of the valve stem 35 is allowed.
また、このウォーターサーバーは、図3に示すように、筐体1から独立して持ち運ぶことができるように構成された鍵部材32と、図6に示すように、鍵部材32が有るときだけ温水注出操作部9の操作で温水注出弁8が開弁するようにし、図7に示すように、鍵部材32が無い状態では温水注出操作部9を操作しても温水注出弁8が開弁しないようにするチャイルドプルーフ手段41を有する。
Further, the water server includes a key member 32 configured to be carried independently from the housing 1 as shown in FIG. 3, and hot water only when the key member 32 is present as shown in FIG. The hot water pouring valve 8 is opened by the operation of the pouring operation section 9, and as shown in FIG. 7, even if the hot water pouring operation section 9 is operated without the key member 32, the hot water pouring valve 8 is operated. Has child proof means 41 for preventing the valve from opening.
図6に示すように、チャイルドプルーフ手段41は、鍵部材32を抜き差しする差込口42と、ユーザーがチャイルドロック操作部材30を操作する操作力をチャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37に伝達する操作力伝達経路43とを有する。差込口42は、筐体1の前面板14に形成されている。筐体1の外側から差込口42に鍵部材32を差し込むと、鍵部材32の先端が図示しないガイド部で案内されて、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間に導入されるようになっている。
As shown in FIG. 6, the child proof means 41 includes an insertion port 42 through which the key member 32 is inserted and removed, and an operation force for the user to operate the child lock operation member 30 from the child lock operation member 30 to the valve opening prevention member 37. And an operating force transmission path 43 for transmission. The insertion port 42 is formed in the front plate 14 of the housing 1. When the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42 from the outside of the housing 1, the tip of the key member 32 is guided by a guide portion (not shown) and introduced between the child lock operation member 30 and the valve opening prevention member 37. It is like that.
操作力伝達経路43は、チャイルドロック操作部材30と、差込口42に差し込まれた鍵部材32と、開弁阻止部材37とで構成されている。チャイルドロック操作部材30は、押し込み位置(図7参照)と復帰位置(図4参照)の間をスライド可能に支持された押しボタンである。図4に示すように、チャイルドロック操作部材30の内部には、チャイルドロック操作部材30を押し込み位置から復帰位置に付勢するリターンスプリング44が組み込まれている。
The operating force transmission path 43 includes a child lock operating member 30, a key member 32 inserted into the insertion port 42, and a valve opening blocking member 37. The child lock operation member 30 is a push button supported so as to be slidable between a push-in position (see FIG. 7) and a return position (see FIG. 4). As shown in FIG. 4, a return spring 44 that urges the child lock operation member 30 from the push-in position to the return position is incorporated in the child lock operation member 30.
図4に示すように、鍵部材32が無い状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間にスペース45を有する。スペース45は、チャイルドロック操作部材30の移動可能ストロークから、開弁阻止部材37が開弁阻止位置から開弁許容位置に移動するときの移動ストロークを差し引いた大きさよりも大きく設定されている。図5に示すように、鍵部材32は、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間のスペース45に対応する厚さをもつ板状の部材である。鍵部材32は、図ではスティック形の板状部材を示したが、カード形の板状部材でもよい。
As shown in FIG. 4, a space 45 is provided between the child lock operating member 30 and the valve-opening blocking member 37 when the key member 32 is not present. The space 45 is set to be larger than the movable stroke of the child lock operating member 30 minus the moving stroke when the valve opening blocking member 37 moves from the valve opening blocking position to the valve opening allowable position. As shown in FIG. 5, the key member 32 is a plate-like member having a thickness corresponding to the space 45 between the child lock operating member 30 and the valve opening prevention member 37. The key member 32 is a stick-shaped plate member in the figure, but may be a card-shaped plate member.
図5、図6に示すように、鍵部材32を差込口42に差し込んだ状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30を押し動かす操作力が、チャイルドロック操作部材30から鍵部材32を介して開弁阻止部材37に伝達し、一方、図7に示すように、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出した状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30を押し動かしても、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間のスペース45で、操作力の伝達が遮断されるようになっている。
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the state where the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42, the operation force that pushes the child lock operation member 30 is opened from the child lock operation member 30 via the key member 32. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, in the state where the key member 32 is pulled out from the insertion port 42 as shown in FIG. 7, even if the child lock operating member 30 is pushed and moved, the child lock operating member 30 and the valve opening blocking are prevented. In the space 45 between the members 37, transmission of the operating force is cut off.
すなわち、図5に示すように、鍵部材32を差込口42に差し込み、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間のスペース45に鍵部材32を挿入する。この状態でユーザーがチャイルドロック操作部材30を押し動かすと、その操作力が、チャイルドロック操作部材30と鍵部材32と開弁阻止部材37とを順に伝達し、図6に示すように、開弁阻止部材37が開弁阻止位置から開弁許容位置に移動する。つまり、鍵部材32を差込口42に差し込んだ状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30を操作することで、開弁阻止部材37を開弁阻止位置から開弁許容位置に移動させることができ、さらに温水注出操作レバー31を操作することで、温水注出弁8が開弁する。
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42, and the key member 32 is inserted into the space 45 between the child lock operation member 30 and the valve opening prevention member 37. When the user pushes and moves the child lock operating member 30 in this state, the operating force is transmitted in sequence through the child lock operating member 30, the key member 32, and the valve opening preventing member 37, and as shown in FIG. The blocking member 37 moves from the valve opening blocking position to the valve opening allowable position. That is, in a state where the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42, the valve-opening blocking member 37 can be moved from the valve-opening blocking position to the valve-opening allowable position by operating the child lock operating member 30. By operating the hot water pouring operation lever 31, the hot water pouring valve 8 is opened.
一方、図4に示すように、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出すと、チャイルドロック操作部材30と開弁阻止部材37の間にスペース45が形成された状態となる。この状態でユーザーがチャイルドロック操作部材30を押し動かしても、その操作力はチャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37に伝達せず、図7に示すように、開弁阻止部材37は開弁阻止位置から移動しない。つまり、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出した状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30を操作しても開弁阻止部材37が移動せず、この状態で温水注出操作レバー31を操作しても、温水注出弁8は開弁しない。
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when the key member 32 is extracted from the insertion port 42, a space 45 is formed between the child lock operating member 30 and the valve opening prevention member 37. Even if the user pushes and moves the child lock operating member 30 in this state, the operating force is not transmitted from the child lock operating member 30 to the valve opening blocking member 37, and the valve opening blocking member 37 is opened as shown in FIG. Does not move from the valve blocking position. That is, in the state where the key member 32 is pulled out from the insertion port 42, even if the child lock operation member 30 is operated, the valve opening prevention member 37 does not move, and even if the hot water dispensing operation lever 31 is operated in this state. The hot water discharge valve 8 does not open.
この第1実施形態の鍵付きウォーターサーバーは、鍵部材32が無いときは、チャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37への操作力の伝達が遮断された状態になるので、チャイルドロック操作部材30を操作しても、開弁阻止部材37が開弁阻止位置から移動しない。すなわち、幼児がウォーターサーバーをいろいろ操作したとしても、鍵部材32が無いかぎりチャイルドロックが解除されず、温水は注出されない。そのため、鍵部材32を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することで、幼児による温水の注出を確実に防止することができ、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能である。また鍵部材32が有るときも、チャイルドロック機能により、幼児による温水の注出を防止することが可能である。
In the water server with a lock according to the first embodiment, when the key member 32 is not provided, the transmission of the operation force from the child lock operation member 30 to the valve opening prevention member 37 is cut off. Even if 30 is operated, the valve-opening blocking member 37 does not move from the valve-opening blocking position. That is, even if the infant operates the water server in various ways, the child lock is not released unless the key member 32 is provided, and the hot water is not poured out. Therefore, by storing the key member 32 in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to reliably prevent the infant from pouring hot water, and to prevent the infant from being burned extremely effectively. . Even when the key member 32 is provided, it is possible to prevent the infant from pouring hot water by the child lock function.

That is, in the state where the key member 32 is pulled out from the insertion port 42, even if the child lock operation member 30 is operated, the valve opening prevention member 37 does not move, and even if the hot water dispensing operation lever 31 is operated in this state. The hot water discharge valve 8 does not open.
この第2実施形態の鍵付きウォーターサーバーは、第1実施形態と同様、鍵部材32が無いときは、チャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37への操作力の伝達が遮断された状態になるので、チャイルドロック操作部材30を操作しても、開弁阻止部材37が開弁阻止位置から移動しない。すなわち、幼児がウォーターサーバーをいろいろ操作したとしても、鍵部材32が無いかぎりチャイルドロックが解除されず、温水は注出されない。そのため、鍵部材32を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することで、幼児による温水の注出を確実に防止することができ、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能である。また鍵部材32が有るときも、チャイルドロック機能により、幼児による温水の注出を防止することが可能である。
Similarly to the first embodiment, the water server with a lock according to the second embodiment is in a state where the transmission of the operation force from the child lock operation member 30 to the valve opening prevention member 37 is cut off when the key member 32 is not provided. Therefore, even if the child lock operating member 30 is operated, the valve opening blocking member 37 does not move from the valve opening blocking position. That is, even if the infant operates the water server in various ways, the child lock is not released unless the key member 32 is provided, and the hot water is not poured out. Therefore, by storing the key member 32 in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to reliably prevent the infant from pouring hot water, and to prevent the infant from being burned extremely effectively. . Even when the key member 32 is provided, it is possible to prevent the infant from pouring hot water by the child lock function.
上記第1実施形態および第2実施形態では、鍵部材32を差込口42に差し込んだ状態では、ユーザーがチャイルドロック操作部材30を操作する操作力が、チャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37に伝達され、一方、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出した状態では、チャイルドロック操作部材30から開弁阻止部材37への操作力の伝達が遮断されるように構成したチャイルドプルーフ手段41を採用した例を説明したが、チャイルドロック操作部材30を温水注出操作レバー31に置き換えたチャイルドプルーフ手段41を採用することも可能である。
In the said 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, in the state which inserted the key member 32 in the insertion port 42, the operation force in which a user operates the child lock operation member 30 is the valve opening prevention member from the child lock operation member 30. On the other hand, in a state where the key member 32 is pulled out from the insertion port 42, the child proof means 41 configured so that the transmission of the operation force from the child lock operation member 30 to the valve opening prevention member 37 is cut off. Although the example which employ | adopted was demonstrated, it is also possible to employ | adopt the child proof means 41 which replaced the child lock operation member 30 with the warm water extraction operation lever 31. FIG.
すなわち、鍵部材32を差込口42に差し込んだ態では、ユーザーが温水注出操作レバー31を操作する操作力が、温水注出操作レバー31から弁体33に伝達され、一方、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出した状態では、温水注出操作レバー31から弁体33への操作力の伝達が遮断されるようにチャイルドプルーフ手段41を構成してもよい。
That is, in a state where the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42, an operating force for the user to operate the hot water pouring operation lever 31 is transmitted from the hot water pouring operation lever 31 to the valve body 33, while the key member 32 is operated. The child proof means 41 may be configured so that the transmission of the operation force from the hot water pouring operation lever 31 to the valve body 33 is cut off in the state where the water is extracted from the insertion port 42.
このようにすると、鍵部材32が無いときは、温水注出操作レバー31から弁体33への操作力の伝達が遮断された状態になるので、温水注出操作レバー31を操作しても、温水注出弁8の弁体33が閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動しない。そのため、鍵部材32を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することで、幼児による温水の注出を確実に防止することが可能である。
In this way, when there is no key member 32, the transmission of the operating force from the hot water pouring operation lever 31 to the valve body 33 is interrupted, so even if the hot water pouring operation lever 31 is operated, The valve element 33 of the hot water pouring valve 8 does not move from the valve closing position to the valve opening position. Therefore, by storing the key member 32 in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to reliably prevent the infant from pouring hot water.
図13に、この発明の第3実施形態の鍵付きウォーターサーバーを示す。第1実施形態および第2実施形態では、ユーザーの操作力により閉弁位置から開弁位置に移動する弁体33をもつ手動開閉弁を温水注出弁8に採用しているのに対し、第3実施形態では、通電により開弁する電磁開閉弁を温水注出弁8に採用している。以下、第1実施形態に対応する部分は同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
FIG. 13 shows a keyed water server according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, a manual on-off valve having a valve body 33 that moves from the valve-closing position to the valve-opening position by the user's operating force is adopted as the hot water discharge valve 8, whereas In the third embodiment, an electromagnetic on-off valve that opens when energized is used for the hot water pouring valve 8. Hereinafter, parts corresponding to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
温水注出弁8は、電磁コイル60に通電すると開弁し、電磁コイル60への通電を遮断すると閉弁する電磁開閉弁である。この温水注出弁8を開弁するためにユーザーが操作する温水注出操作部9として、筐体1には、温水注出操作スイッチ61が設けられている。
The hot water pouring valve 8 is an electromagnetic opening / closing valve that opens when the electromagnetic coil 60 is energized and closes when the electromagnetic coil 60 is de-energized. A hot water pouring operation switch 61 is provided in the housing 1 as the hot water pouring operation unit 9 operated by the user to open the hot water pouring valve 8.
また、このウォーターサーバーは、筐体1から独立して持ち運ぶことができるように構成された鍵部材32と、鍵部材32が有るときだけ温水注出操作スイッチ61の操作で温水注出弁8が開弁するようにし、鍵部材32が無い状態では温水注出操作スイッチ61を操作しても温水注出弁8が開弁しないようにするチャイルドプルーフ手段41を有する。
In addition, the water server includes a key member 32 configured to be carried independently from the housing 1, and the hot water discharge valve 8 is operated by operating the hot water discharge operation switch 61 only when the key member 32 is provided. A child proof means 41 is provided so that the warm water dispensing valve 8 is not opened even if the warm water dispensing operation switch 61 is operated in a state where the key member 32 is not provided.
チャイルドプルーフ手段41は、鍵部材32の有無を検知する鍵センサ62と、鍵センサ62および温水注出操作スイッチ61から入力される信号に基づいて温水注出弁8を制御する電子制御装置63とを有する。電子制御装置63は、鍵センサ62、温水注出操作スイッチ61、温水注出弁8に電気的に接続されている。鍵部材32は、例えば、非接触ICチップを埋め込んだカードキーであり、この場合、鍵センサ62は、ICカードリーダーである。
The child proof means 41 includes a key sensor 62 that detects the presence or absence of the key member 32, and an electronic control device 63 that controls the hot water dispensing valve 8 based on signals input from the key sensor 62 and the hot water dispensing operation switch 61. Have The electronic control device 63 is electrically connected to the key sensor 62, the hot water extraction operation switch 61, and the hot water extraction valve 8. The key member 32 is, for example, a card key in which a non-contact IC chip is embedded. In this case, the key sensor 62 is an IC card reader.
電子制御装置63は、鍵センサ62が鍵部材32を検知しないときは、温水注出操作スイッチ61が操作されても温水注出弁8を非通電とし、一方、鍵センサ62が鍵部材32を検知したときは、温水注出操作スイッチ61の操作に応じて温水注出弁8への通電を行なうように構成されている。
When the key sensor 62 does not detect the key member 32, the electronic control device 63 deenergizes the hot water extraction valve 8 even if the hot water extraction operation switch 61 is operated, while the key sensor 62 causes the key member 32 to be disconnected. When detected, the hot water dispensing valve 8 is energized in accordance with the operation of the hot water dispensing operation switch 61.
この第3実施形態の鍵付きウォーターサーバーは、鍵部材32が無いときは、温水注出操作スイッチ61を操作しても、温水注出弁8への通電が行なわれない状態になる。すなわち、幼児がウォーターサーバーをいろいろ操作したとしても、鍵部材32が無いかぎり、温水は注出されない。そのため、鍵部材32を幼児の手の届かない場所に保管することで、幼児による温水の注出を確実に防止することができ、幼児のやけど事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能である。
In the water server with a lock according to the third embodiment, when the key member 32 is not provided, even if the hot water pouring operation switch 61 is operated, the hot water pouring valve 8 is not energized. That is, even if the infant operates the water server in various ways, the hot water is not poured out unless the key member 32 is provided. Therefore, by storing the key member 32 in a place out of the reach of the infant, it is possible to reliably prevent the infant from pouring hot water, and to prevent the infant from being burned extremely effectively. .
また、第3実施形態のように、通電により開弁する電磁開閉弁を温水注出弁8に採用した場合にも、第1および第2実施形態のように、鍵部材32を抜き差しする差込口42を設け、その差込口42に鍵部材32を差し込んだ状態では、ユーザーの操作力が温水注出操作スイッチ61に伝達され、一方、鍵部材32を差込口42から抜き出した状態では、ユーザーの操作力が温水注出操作スイッチ61に伝達するのが遮断されるようにチャイルドプルーフ手段41を構成することも可能である。
In addition, even when an electromagnetic on-off valve that is opened by energization is employed in the hot water discharge valve 8 as in the third embodiment, the insertion and removal of the key member 32 as in the first and second embodiments. In the state where the port 42 is provided and the key member 32 is inserted into the insertion port 42, the user's operation force is transmitted to the hot water dispensing operation switch 61, while in the state where the key member 32 is extracted from the insertion port 42. The child proof means 41 can be configured so that the user's operating force is blocked from being transmitted to the hot water dispensing operation switch 61.
上記各実施形態のチャイルドプルーフ手段41は温水側だけでなく冷水側にも設けてもよい。すなわち、鍵部材32が有るときだけ冷水注出操作部5の操作で冷水注出弁4が開弁するようにし、鍵部材32が無い状態では冷水注出操作部5を操作しても冷水注出弁4が開弁しないように、温水側と同一の構造のチャイルドプルーフ手段41を冷水側に追加して設けてもよい。このようにすると、幼児による冷水の注出も確実に防止することが可能となり、幼児のいたずらによる床下への浸水事故を極めて効果的に防止することが可能となる。
The child proof means 41 of each of the above embodiments may be provided not only on the hot water side but also on the cold water side. That is, only when the key member 32 is present, the chilled water dispensing valve 4 is opened by operating the chilled water dispensing operation unit 5, and even when the chilled water dispensing operation unit 5 is operated without the key member 32, A child proof means 41 having the same structure as the hot water side may be additionally provided on the cold water side so that the outlet valve 4 does not open. In this way, it is possible to reliably prevent the cold water from being poured out by the infant, and it is possible to extremely effectively prevent a flooding accident under the floor due to the mischief of the infant.
今回開示された実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
