<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a faucet device capable of stably operating a generator by allowing easy discharge of retention air from the generator. <P>SOLUTION: A faucet device (1) includes a faucet device body (2), a solenoid valve (12), a discharge port (6), a generator water passage (24) and its large-diameter portion (24a), an impeller (26) provided in the large-diameter portion, a power generation magnet (28), an impeller-type generator (14) provided with a generation coil (32), and vibration excitation means (58, 60) which support the generator so that retention bubbles in the large-diameter portion are discharged by causing the generator to excite vibration based on electromagnetic force acting between the power generation magnet and the generation coil. Use of a pole piece (40) that guides magnetism from the power generation magnet to the generation coil allows the pole piece and the power generation magnet to transfer the magnetism in a radial direction of a circle having an impeller rotary shaft set as the center. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
