By arranging in this way, even when the rotating body 10 continues to rotate in a certain direction, the members do not interfere with each other due to the rotating operation of the rotating body 10.
Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the button portion 4 c is arranged on the left side and is arranged so as to be pushed on the right side, the axis of advancement / retraction of the operation body 4 in the rotation axis direction view of the rotation body 10 is the rotation body 10. The axis of advancement / retraction of the output body 5 is on the right side of the center point of rotation of the rotating body 10 (the button portion 4c of the operating body 4 is the position of the rotating body 10). The operation unit body 15 is configured to advance and retract in the vertical direction on the opposite side to the center point of rotation.

In addition, although not specifically described, in the following construction, the connection places of the respective members are connected in a watertight manner by adhesion or connection using packing as necessary.
In the present embodiment, the operation unit main body 15 includes the operation body 4, the output body 5, the rotating body 10, the first hinge member 8 a, the second hinge member 8 b, and the spring member in a factory or the like. It is assumed that after being processed as an incorporated member, it is carried into the construction site.
First, the operation unit 3 side end of the outer tube 11a is operated after the operation unit 3 side end of the inner wire 11b of the release wire 11 is connected to the output body 5 arranged in the operation unit main body 15 in advance. It is fixedly connected to the body 15.
Next, after the support portion 14 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the support shaft 12b, the lock member 12 is inserted into the tubular portion 13a of the joint member 13, and the drain port 1a of the outer tube 11a of the release wire 11 is further inserted. The side end portion is connected and fixed to the connection portion 13b.

Finally, the valve member 2 is arranged at the drain port 1a, and the construction of the remote-operated drain plug device of the third embodiment of the present invention is completed.

First, the operation of the operation unit 3 will be described for the case of using the remote-operated drain plug device of the third embodiment constructed as described above.
In a state in which the user does not perform any operation on the operation unit 3, as shown in FIG. 15, the operation body 4 of the operation unit 3 is moved forward by the biasing of the spring member when viewed in the rotation axis direction of the rotation body 10. Thus, the central axis of the first rotating portion 10b and the central axis of the first hinge member 8a are aligned and arranged in a straight line.
At this time, the second rotating portion 10c is oriented in substantially the same direction as the first rotating portion 10b, so that the end of the second hinge member 8b connected to the end of the second rotating body 10 is provided. The part moves upward with respect to the button part 4c side, that is, the central axis of the rotating body 10, and the output body 5 is also raised accordingly. The output body 5 is also urged upward from the inner wire 11b by the action of the return spring 11c of the release wire 11 connected to the output body 5.
Such a positional relationship of each member of the operation unit 3 is hereinafter referred to as an “initial state”.
When a pushing operation is performed on the operating body 4 of the operating unit 3 from this state, the operating body 4 advances to the back side, and the first rotating portion 10b is urged to the back side via the first hinge member 8a. The rotating body 10 rotates clockwise about the rotating shaft portion 10a. In this way, the rotating body 10 performs a rotating motion by pushing the operating body 4 in the horizontal direction (reciprocating motion).
Due to the rotational movement of the rotating body 10 in the clockwise direction, as shown in FIG. 17 through the state shown in FIG. 16, the central axis of the second rotating portion 10c and the second hinge member 8b temporarily. The positional relationship is such that the central axis coincides with a straight line. At this time, the output body 5 protrudes downward most. As described above, the output body 5 performs a vertically projecting operation (reciprocating motion operation) by the rotating operation of the rotating body 10.
When the operating body 4 is further pushed in from the state of FIG. 17, the rotation of the rotating body 10 proceeds in the clockwise direction, and as shown in FIG. 18, the central axis of the first rotating portion 10 b and the first axis The positional relationship in which the central axis of one hinge member 8a coincides and forms a straight line, provided that the initial state is the central axis of the first rotating portion 10b and the central axis of the first hinge member 8a. Are arranged at positions that coincide with each other in a positional relationship in the opposite direction. Note that this position is the position at which the operating body 4 is pushed most into the position where the first hinge member 8a has moved to the rearmost side (right side in the figure) and the lower side, and the first is no more. This is because the operating member 4 inevitably cannot move further back because the hinge member 8a cannot move rearward and downward.
In addition, as described above, the first rotating unit 10b and the second rotating unit 10c are configured so that the second rotating unit 10c is located on the right side of the first rotating unit 10b when the rotating body 10 is viewed in the rotation axis direction. An angle of about 18 degrees is formed in the rotation direction. For this reason, in the state of FIG. 18, the second rotating portion 10c is a straight line in which the central axis of the second rotating portion 10c coincides with the central axis of the second hinge member 8b. From the positional relationship, the rotation is further moved to the position where the rotation has advanced by 18 degrees in the clockwise direction.
At this time, the output body 5 moves to a position slightly elevated from the state of FIG.
When the user ends the pushing operation to the button portion 4c from this state and the pushing stress from the user to the button portion 4c is lost, the operating body 4 is moved to the near side (left side in FIG. 15) by the spring member. Biased in the direction. The output body 5 connected to the inner wire 11 b of the release wire 11 is biased upward by the bias of the return spring 11 c of the release wire 11.
Considering only the spring member on the operation body 4 side, in the state of FIG. 18, the first hinge member 8a and the first rotating portion 10b are in a straight line state, so that the operation body 4 is moved leftward in the figure by the spring member. Although this causes a stress that causes the first rotating portion 10b to be pulled toward the operating body 4 side, the rotating body 10 can rotate in either the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction. I can't specify what to do. In some cases, the first hinge member 8a and the first rotating portion 10b are balanced in a straight state, and the rotating body 10 may be stationary without rotating in either the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction. is there.
However, considering the output body 5 biased by the return spring 11c, in the state of FIG. 18, the central axis of the second rotating portion 10c coincides with the central axis of the second hinge member 8b so as to be in a straight line. Thus, the second rotating portion 10c is rotated and moved to a positional relationship in which the rotation of the second rotating portion 10c is advanced by about 18 degrees in the clockwise direction. For this reason, when the output body 5 urged upward by the return spring 11c of the release wire 11 rises, the rotating body 10 moves to the right to further advance the rotation advanced by about 18 degrees of the second rotating portion 10c. Rotate further in the direction of rotation.
In this way, from the rise of the output body 5 and the configuration of the first rotating portion 10b and the second rotating portion 10c, the rotating body 10 reliably rotates clockwise and the spring member and the return spring 11c By the action, the state returns to the initial state shown in FIG. 15 through the state shown in FIG.
Thereafter, each time a push operation is applied to the button unit 4c, the operation unit 3 rotates the rotating body 10 360 degrees in the operation unit main body 15, and at this time, once performs an operation of projecting the output body 5 downward. . Further, the inner wire 11b of the release wire 11 connected to the output body 5 advances and retreats as the output body 5 protrudes and rises downward.
As described above, the operation unit 3 according to the present embodiment defines a single pushing operation of the operating body 4 that performs a reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction in a certain direction, that is, a direction that rotates clockwise in FIG. The number of rotations, that is, the operation to the rotating body 10 that rotates by one rotation is converted. Further, one rotation of the rotating body 10 is converted into one reciprocating motion of the output body 5 in a vertical direction different from the operating body 4 in the reciprocating direction.

Next, the opening / closing operation of the drain port 1a of the remote-operated drain plug device provided with the operation unit 3 will be described.
When using the remote-operated drain plug device of the first embodiment constructed as described above, as shown in FIG. 9, first, the button portion 4c of the operation unit 3 is operated, and the drain port 1a is closed. State.
At this time, the operation unit 3 is in the initial state described in the description of paragraph 0023.
Further, the support shaft 12b of the lock member 12 is released from being fixed by the lock mechanism, is lifted by the action of the spring member inside the lock member 12, and the support portion 14 that is rotatably connected to the support shaft 12b is also a support shaft. It rises with 12b, is substantially accommodated in the cylindrical part 13a, and is spaced apart from the lower end of the valve shaft of the valve member 2. Therefore, the valve member 2 is lowered by its own weight, and the lower surface of the valve body 2a of the valve member 2 is in watertight contact with the periphery of the drain port 1a, thereby closing the drain port 1a.
When a pushing operation is applied to the button portion 4c from this state, as described in paragraph 0023, the output body 5 is lowered once every pushing operation, and the inner side of the release wire 11 connected to the output body 5 is moved. The wire 11b advances to the drain port 1a side.
As a result, the tip of the inner wire 11b on the drain outlet 1a side abuts on the upper end of the support shaft 12b of the lock member 12 housed in the tubular portion 13a of the joint member 13, and pushes the support shaft 12b. The support shaft 12b is lowered and the lock mechanism is operated to fix the support shaft 12b in a state of being advanced toward the discharge port. As a result, the support portion 14 that is pivotally connected to the lower end of the support shaft 12b moves forward to the drain port 1a side, and hits the projection portion 13c so that the tip end side of the support portion 14 rotates upward, and the valve member 2 In order to push the valve member 2 together with the valve shaft in contact with the lower end of the valve shaft, the valve body 2a is separated from the periphery of the drain port 1a, and the drain port 1a is opened as shown in FIG.
When the user finishes the operation and stops the stress on the button part 4c, the operation unit 3 always returns to the initial state regardless of whether the drain port 1a is open or closed.
When there is water discharge or drainage inside the wash bowl B which is a tank body, the water discharge or drainage is performed from the drain port 1a through the drain pipe P provided with the drain port body 1 inside, the joint member 13, and the trap part T. Finally, it is discharged from the underfloor piping to the sewage side. Further, when drainage is accumulated in the trap portion T, accumulated water is generated in the trap portion T due to drainage called sealed water. This sealed water generates a full part on the drainage flow path, and odors and pests from the sewage side cannot flow back through the full part, so the trap part T allows odors and pests from the sewage side to enter the indoor side. Can be prevented.
When the pushing operation is again performed on the button portion 4c of the operation portion 3 from the state where the drain port 1a is opened, the inner wire 11b moves forward again, and the lock member 12 housed in the tubular portion 13a of the joint member 13 is moved. The support shaft 12b is brought into contact with the upper end of the support shaft 12b and pushed into the support shaft 12b, so that the lock mechanism functions again to release the support shaft 12b from being fixed. As a result, the support shaft 12b rises again by the action of the spring member inside the lock member 12, and the support portion 14 that is pivotally connected to the support shaft 12b also rises together with the support shaft 12b so as to be substantially within the cylindrical portion 13a. The valve member 2 is housed and separated from the lower end of the valve shaft of the valve member 2, the valve member 2 is lowered by its own weight, and the lower surface of the valve body 2a of the valve member 2 is in watertight contact with the peripheral edge of the drain port 1a. It returns to the state which closed the drain port 1a shown.
Thereafter, every time the operation body 4 is pushed in, the drainage port 1a can be closed / the drainage port 1a can be opened alternately.
Note that, as described above, the operation unit 3 according to the present embodiment performs the operation in which the output body 5 protrudes downward each time the operation body 3 in the initial state is pushed into the operation body 4. The operation of returning to the initial state is repeated, and no change or the like occurs in the operation unit 3 returning to the initial state by opening or closing the drain port 1a.
