<p>Provided is a faucet device enabling stable operation of a generator by facilitating discharge of air present in the generator. The present invention is a faucet device (1) provided with: a faucet device body (2); a solenoid valve (12); a spout (6); an impeller type generator (14) that is provided with a generator water passage (24), a wide diameter portion (24a) of the generator water passage (24), and an impeller (26) placed in the wide diameter portion, and that produces power used for driving the solenoid valve by rotating the impeller by using the water flow passing through the solenoid valve; and vibration excitation means (58, 60) that excite vertical direction vibration in the generator, thus detaching air bubbles present in the wide diameter portion on the inner wall surface thereof, and that support the generator in the faucet device body in such a manner that air bubbles are discharged from the generator. The faucet device is characterized by the generator being disposed in such a manner that a space is formed between the generator and the inner wall surface of the faucet device body over the entire periphery of the generator to allow vibration of the same.</p> |
