The rear surface 1b is set along the front surface 1a of the water conditioner body 1 so as to face the front of the sink 28. For example, the water conditioner body 1 is placed on the corner flange portion of the sink 28, and the sink 28 The center of the sink 28 which becomes the space which opened the front surface 1a of the water adjuster main body 1 while making the both sides 1c of the water adjuster main body 1 adjoin to the sink and the rear wall 29a and the side wall 29b of a kitchen which are orthogonal in a corner | angular part Can be installed so that the front surface 1a of the water conditioner body 1 is directed obliquely forward of the sink 28. In particular, in the latter case, for example, compared to the case where the water conditioner body 1 ′ having a rectangular shape in plan view having the same plane area as that of the water conditioner body 1 of this example is installed at the corner of the sink 28, The protrusion dimension to the side can be suppressed, which is preferable (see FIG. 7). That is, the water conditioner body 1 of this example has a shape suitable for installation around the sink with its front surface 1a facing the user side located in front of the sink 28.

Here, the front surface 1a of the water conditioner main body 1 is provided with a cover material covering portion 30 that is covered with a front surface cover 6a that is a cover material 6 that is removed when the water purification cartridge 3 is attached or detached, as shown in FIG. .

  On the outer peripheral end of the operation panel 9, a fitting projection 35 is formed that is bent downward depending on the entire circumference. Further, a draining wall 31 is formed on the periphery of the lower surface of the operation panel 9 (inside the fitting projection 35) so as to hang downward over the entire circumference. In addition, a pair of left and right bosses 36 are suspended downward in the rear area of the operation panel 9, and a plurality of locking legs 37 are provided at the lower end of the front portion of the draining wall 31 along the front surface of the water adjuster body 1. Is suspended downward. In this example, three locking legs 37 are formed, locking claws 38 are formed in the locking legs 37a on both the left and right sides, and screw insertion holes 43 are formed in the central locking leg 37b. Has been.

  A fitting groove 39 is formed at the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 34 of the electrical equipment housing recess 32 over the entire circumference. Further, a dam wall 40 projecting upward from the bottom wall 33 so as to face the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 34 with a gap is provided on the peripheral edge portion of the electrical component storage recess 32 over the entire periphery. Is formed. That is, the receiving groove portion 11 that opens upward is surrounded by the outer peripheral wall 34, the dam wall 40, and the bottom wall 33 so as to extend over the entire periphery of the operation panel mounting opening 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a pair of left and right screw insertion holes 44 are formed in the rear region of the bottom wall 33 of the electrical component housing recess 32 (inside the weir wall 40). A locking hole 42 for loosely inserting the locking leg 37 of the operation panel 9 is formed in the groove bottom (the bottom wall 33 of the electrical component storage recess 32 is configured) at the front portion of the receiving groove 11 along the front surface of the main body 1. It has been drilled. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the locking hole 42 is formed so as to communicate the front portion of the receiving groove portion 11 with the drawing recess 30 a formed in the front surface 1 a of the water adjuster body 1. ing.

  When the operation panel 9 is attached to the operation panel mounting opening 10 of the electrical unit housing recess 32, the fitting projection 35 of the operation panel 9 is fitted into the fitting groove 39 on the peripheral wall of the electrical unit storage recess 32. At the same time, the locking leg 37 of the operation panel 9 is inserted into the locking hole 42 of the receiving groove portion 11 of the electrical unit housing recess 32, and the locking claws 38 of the locking legs 37 a on both the left and right sides are inserted into the locking hole 42. The central locking leg 37b and the front surface of the housing 100 of the water adjuster main body 1, the boss 36 of the operation panel 9 and the bottom of the electrical component storage recess 32 are held. This is done by connecting the wall 33 through screws 45 and 46 to the screw insertion holes 43 and 44, respectively. That is, the operation panel 9 has its entire peripheral edge fitted into the operation panel mounting opening 10 so that a beautifully finished appearance appears.

When the operation panel 9 is attached to the operation panel mounting opening 10 of the electrical component storage recess 32 as described above, the draining wall 31 of the operation panel 9 is electrically connected as shown in FIGS. It is in a state of being loosely inserted into the receiving groove portion 11 of the recess 32 for storing parts.

  By the way, when the water conditioner main body 1 is installed around the sink, it is conceivable that water discharged from a faucet provided in the sink is applied to the water conditioner main body 1, but in the water conditioner main body 1 of this example, The waterproof function is remarkably strengthened compared to the conventional case, and the water conditioner body 1 is suitable for installation around the sink. That is, when the water discharged from the faucet is applied to the upper surface of the water adjuster main body 1, the entire water adjuster main body 1 is covered with water, and the waterproof performance of the water adjuster main body 1 is questioned. Become. In particular, the water adjuster body 1 of this example has a structure in which the upper surface of the water adjuster main body 1 is attached to the operation panel mounting opening 10 and the operation panel 9 is provided between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10. Although there is a risk that water may enter the interior of the water conditioner body 1, the waterproof function is remarkably enhanced by providing a waterproof structure against water entering from between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10. It is illustrated.

  That is, in the water conditioner body 1 of the present example, even if water enters from between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10, this intruded water is put on the inner edge of the operation panel mounting opening 10. It is received by the receiving groove portion 11 that is provided and can be discharged from the receiving groove portion 11 to the outside of the water adjuster main body 1 through the drainage portion 12, and the waterproof function of the water adjuster main body 1 is enhanced. ing. Further, even if there is water that enters from between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10 and is transmitted to the lower surface of the operation panel 9, it extends over the peripheral edge of the lower surface of the operation panel 9 as described above. Since the draining wall 31 to be projected is inserted into the receiving groove portion 11, the water is dripped into the receiving groove portion 11 by the draining wall 31, and from the receiving groove portion 11 to the outside of the water regulating device main body 1 through the drainage portion 12. It can be drained. Therefore, the lower surface of the operation panel 9 on which electrical components are mounted or electrically connected is protected against water entering from between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10. The waterproof function of the main body 1 is enhanced.

  Specifically, since the receiving groove portion 11 is provided over the inner edge of the operation panel mounting opening 10, it is possible to receive the water that has entered from between the operation panel 9 and the operation panel mounting opening 10 without leakage. . Moreover, the receiving groove part 11 of this example is formed in the front-falling shape similarly to the shape of the upper surface part of the water adjuster main body 1, that is, the receiving groove part 11 has its front part positioned at a lower position than the rear part. Is formed. Thus, the water received by the receiving groove portion 11 flows and collects at the front portion of the receiving groove portion 11 at the low position. And the water collected in the front part of the receiving groove part 11 passes through the locking hole 42 formed in the front part of the receiving groove part 11 and into which the locking leg 37 is loosely inserted. It flows down to the retracting recess 30a isolated from the inside. The water that has flowed down into the pull-in recess 30a through the locking hole 42 flows down the pull-in recess 30a that is isolated from the interior of the water conditioner body 1, and the lower ends of the front cover 6a and the pull-in recess 30a that are attached. It is discharged out of the water adjuster body 1 from the section.

  Thus, in this example, the drainage part 12 for discharging the water received by the receiving groove part 11 to the outside of the water conditioner body 1 is a locking hole used for attaching the operation panel 9 to the operation panel mounting opening 10. 42 is also used, and it is avoided to separately form a drainage path for draining the water received by the receiving groove portion 11 in the water adjuster body 1 separately. The configuration is simplified. Further, the drainage flowing through the drainage part 12 is discharged from the receiving groove part 11 to the drawing recessed part 30a which is the front part of the water regulating body main body 1 isolated from the inside of the water regulating body main body 1, and is attached to the drawing recessed part 30a. Since the drainage unit 12 is concealed by the front lid 6a used for attaching / detaching the water purification cartridge 3, the drainage unit 12 is made inconspicuous because it is discharged from the front lid 6a to the outside of the water conditioner body 1. In other words, the waterproof function of the water conditioner body 1 is enhanced while ensuring a good appearance of the water conditioner body 1.

  More specifically, the front edge of the locking hole 42 constituting the drainage portion 12 of this example on the side of the drawing recess 30a has a very small front edge with respect to the back surface of the front lid 6a attached to the drawing recess 30a. A horizontal hole-shaped drainage guide portion 47 that is opened forward and located at a gap s is formed, and the water that has flowed down to the drawing recess 30 a through the locking hole 42 passes through the drainage guide portion 47. It flows down the inside of the drawing recess 30a along the back surface of the front lid 6a and is discharged from the lower edge of the front lid 6a to the outside of the water conditioner body 1 (the lower end portion of the front surface of the water conditioner body 1). ing. The cartridge housing recess 5 is opened in the drawing recess 30a of this example to store the cartridge. As described above, the drainage from the receiving groove portion 11 passes through the drainage guide portion 47 and passes through the back surface of the front lid 6a. Since it is made to flow down the drawing recessed part 30a so that it may be transmitted, the waste water which reaches from the receiving groove part 11 and flows down the drawing recessed part 30a is transmitted to the water purification cartridge 3 and the cartridge storage recessed part 5, and the water path 2 of the water purification cartridge 3 The possibility of intrusion into the interior of the water conditioner main body 1 from the connection part (the connection part of the cartridge side connection port 8 to the main body side connection port 7) or the like is also avoided. The waterproof function 1 is strengthened.
