Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a sanitary cleaning device for cleaning private parts of the human body with cleaning water.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems A block diagram of the main body of a conventional sanitary cleaning device will be explained based on FIG. 1. 1 is a toilet main body, 2 is a toilet seat for a user to sit on the toilet main body 1, 3 is a washing nozzle that discharges washing water to the private parts of the user, 4 is a cistern, and 5 is water stored in the cistern. ,
6 is a water filter submerged in the water 5; 7 is a cleaning water supply means (hereinafter referred to as a pump) that sucks the water 5 from the water filter 6 and supplies the cleaning water to the cleaning nozzle 3; 8 is a water filter submerged in the water 5; A hot water storage tank provided in the water channel of the pump 7, 9 an electric heater serving as a heating means for warming the water in the hot water storage tank 8, and 10 a thermosensor for detecting the temperature of the water in the hot water storage tank. It is element. (hereinafter referred to as sensor) 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage box that houses the pump 7, a hot water storage tank, and the like. 12 is a controller incorporating control means for energizing the pump 7, the heater 9, etc.;
3 is a cleaning switch that gives an energizing command to the pump 7 via the controller 12, 14 is a setting means for setting the amount of cleaning water to be discharged to the private area, and 15 is:
This is cleansing water that is dispensed to the private parts.

In the above configuration, when the user washes his private parts after using the toilet, he sits on the toilet seat 2, energizes the washing switch 13, and operates the washing water amount setting means 14, thereby turning on the power to the pump. The amount of energization can be changed and therefore the amount of wash water discharged to the local area can be changed.

In addition, the hot water storage tank 8 always stores about 1 volume of washing water, and a sensor detects that the temperature of the washing water in the tank decreases due to the inflow of low-temperature water sent from the pump during washing. Upon detection, the heater 9 warms the cleaning water to a predetermined temperature, but when a 600W heater is used, it takes about 5 minutes to heat water at 5°C to, for example, 42°C.

In addition, users generally use 400 c.c. to 600 c.c. in one wash.
For families and users who frequently use water in this type of hot water storage configuration, the moment they turn on the wash switch 13 before the wash water in the hot water storage tank reaches the appropriate temperature, The cleansing water may be discharged into the private parts, and users who use more than one wash at a time may feel uncomfortable because they are exposed to low-temperature wash water during the wash.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the problems of the conventional art, and aims to provide a sanitary washing device that emits only washing water at a temperature that the user feels comfortable with, and does not cause discomfort. be.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention has a structure having a control means that prevents the release of washing water to private parts of the human body unless the temperature of the washing water is not a predetermined temperature. be.

With this configuration, the user always has the effect that cleansing water at a predetermined temperature is discharged locally.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a schematic control circuit diagram of the controller 12 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Setting means 14 is a variable resistor. Reference numeral 16 denotes a control means 17 built into the controller 12, which is a selection switch capable of discharging washing water even if the water in the hot water storage tank does not have a predetermined washing water temperature; 18, when the selection switch is turned off; This is an indicator that indicates when the temperature of the cleaning water in the hot water storage tank has reached a predetermined temperature.

In the above configuration, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the control flow diagram of FIG.

First, the control means 16 inputs a sensor signal, checks whether the water in the hot water storage tank is at a predetermined temperature 19, and when the temperature reaches that temperature, allows input of the cleaning switch. Therefore, if the temperature is below a predetermined temperature, the pump will not be energized and no wash water will be discharged to the private parts. This means that even if the temperature of the cleaning water in the hot water storage tank drops below a predetermined temperature after a certain period of time has passed after the start of cleaning, the energization of the pump 7 is immediately stopped. . If the temperature of the washing water is a predetermined temperature, the control means 16 lights up the indicator 18 indicating the appropriate temperature 20, otherwise it does not light it up.
1.

Further, when the selection switch 17 is on, 22 the cleaning water is discharged even if the temperature of the cleaning water is below a predetermined temperature. At this time, the appropriate temperature display on the display 18 is not lit. Therefore, when cleaning, the user must press the selection switch 17.
When it is off, you can check whether the temperature of the washing water is at an appropriate temperature on the display 18, and it is also useful for users who find it inconvenient to have the washing water stopped discharging when the temperature is below a predetermined temperature. However, this inconvenience can be resolved by turning on the selection switch 17.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has the following effects because it has a control means that prevents washing water from being released to private parts of the human body when the temperature of the washing water is below a predetermined temperature.

There is no exposure to low-temperature cleaning water at the start of cleaning, and the pump is stopped before the temperature of the cleaning water drops during cleaning, so only cleaning water at a predetermined temperature is always released during cleaning. First, the sudden feeling and discomfort caused by changes in the temperature of the washing water are eliminated.
