DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement in a human body private part cleaning device.

(Prior art) In the human body private parts cleaning device, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-102031
As shown in No. 1, there is known a system in which a single motor moves a cleaning water jet nozzle for both anal cleaning and bidet cleaning into and out of the toilet bowl.

According to this, since the water volume, water pressure, and jet angle were the same in order to jet cleansing water to the anus and the bidet with one jet nozzle, the adaptability to the anus and the bidet was not desirable.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In order to improve the above-mentioned adaptability, it is necessary to use two nozzles, an anus-specific nozzle and a bidet-specific nozzle.
However, there is a problem in that the configuration becomes complicated when the two nozzles are driven separately by motors. Here, the technical object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems when using an anus-specific nozzle and a bidet-specific nozzle.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides the following means for solving the above technical problems.

That is, the present invention provides a toilet bowl body, and a first nozzle and a second nozzle that are held in a guide portion supported on the toilet bowl body so as to be freely advanced and retractable, and that have a spout at their tip.
a nozzle; a cleaning water supply device that supplies cleaning water to the first nozzle and the second nozzle; a band member having one end locked to the first nozzle and the other end locked to the second nozzle; The present invention is characterized by comprising a drive device that includes a drive body that engages with the band member and drives the band member, and a drive source that rotates the drive body in forward and reverse directions.

The main components of the present invention include a toilet bowl body, a first nozzle and a second nozzle, a flush water supply device, a band member, and a drive device. Here, what is the toilet bowl body?
It corresponds to a conventional toilet bowl, and corresponds to a Western-style toilet bowl that is used while seated.

The first nozzle and the second nozzle are used to clean the anus and the bidet, respectively, and each has a spout at each tip for spouting cleansing water. Further, a water supply hole for supplying cleaning water is usually provided at the other end of each nozzle. The cleaning water supply device normally operates in conjunction with the expansion and contraction of the nozzle, and supplies cleaning water to be jetted from the spout of the nozzle when the nozzle protrudes to a certain position.
Note that the first nozzle, second nozzle, washing water supply device, etc. are the same as those of conventional human body private parts washing devices, and do not need to be particularly new in the present invention. . As the band member, a metal band that does not easily buckle or a round bar made of polyacetal or the like with high rigidity is used.

The drive device includes a drive body and a drive source. The driving body drives the band member. A drive drum or a gear can be used as the drive body. still,
The driving drum may be one that rotates the band member using frictional resistance on the outer circumferential surface of the drum, or may be one that rotates the band member using teeth provided on the outer circumferential surface of the drum, such as a gear. As a driving source, an electric motor or a step motor is usually used.

(Function) In the present invention, the rear end of the first nozzle and the rear end of the second nozzle are respectively locked to both ends of one band member, and the band member is prevented from buckling over its entire length. It is in a state where it is guided by the guide part. The band member is slid in the axial direction and in the forward and reverse directions along the guide portion by the rotation of the drive drum. The first nozzle and the second nozzle are each slidably held in the toilet bowl body and are each retracted to the most retracted position via a stopper. Anal cleansing and bidet cleansing are performed with one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle being protruded at the tip and the other being retracted, and vice versa. In the intermediate state, both nozzles are normally housed and held within the toilet bowl body.

(Example) A typical example of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of the main part, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the - arrow in FIG. 1.

The main components are a nozzle 5, a second nozzle 6, a drive drum 7 and a drive motor 8, which constitute a drive device.

The guide portion 21 of the housing 2 has a guide hole 3a for guiding the band member 4, a first nozzle 5 and a second nozzle.
A first guide hole 5a and a second guide hole 6a are provided for holding the nozzle 6 so as to be freely advanced and retracted.
The first nozzle 5 is inserted into the guide hole 5a and the second guide hole 6a.
A second nozzle 6 is held so as to be freely advanced and retracted. The inside of the first nozzle 5 is hollow,
A spout 51 is provided at one tip, and a water supply hole 52 is provided at the other tip. The inside of the second nozzle 6 is hollow, and a spout 61 is provided at one tip and a water supply hole 62 is provided at the other tip. Although not shown in the drawings, a cleaning water supply device is incorporated into the housing 2, and the cleaning water is sent to the first supply hole 9 and the second supply hole 10 from this cleaning water supply device. ing. First supply hole 9
communicates with and is cut off from the water supply hole 52 of the first nozzle 5 depending on the position of the first nozzle 5. Second water supply hole 10
communicates with and is cut off from the water supply hole 62 of the second nozzle 6 depending on the position of the second nozzle 6. The band member 4 is shaped like a metal band, and is made of a plate spring, for example, and has a plurality of slits 41 in the lateral direction at the center thereof, and each tip 42 and 43 has a screw 44 connected to the first nozzle 5 and the second nozzle 6, respectively. , 45.
Then, the ridge teeth 71 on the outer peripheral surface of the drive drum 7 and the plurality of slits 41 on the band member 4 are engaged, and the electric circuit (not shown) of the drive motor 8 is operated by the user.
When either the anus cleaning switch or the bidet cleaning switch in the switch group 8a is pressed, the drive drum 7 is rotated forward (clockwise) and reversed (counterclockwise) by the drive motor 8, thereby cleaning the belt. The member 4 slides along the guide hole 3a. The band member 4 moves by sliding along the guide hole 3a. When one end 46 of the band member 4 advances, the other end 47 retreats.
