Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a sanitary cleaning device that performs cleaning by discharging hot water to a part of a human body to be cleaned.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet bowl equipped with a sanitary cleaning device.

A is a toilet bowl, on which a sanitary cleaning device B is placed. C
is a cistern for flushing, and D is an operating lever for flushing.

The conventional sanitary cleaning device has 1 unit as shown in Figure 2.
2 is a toilet seat installed on the toilet bowl; 2 is a cistern that stores water for flushing the inside of the toilet bowl; 3 is a nozzle that discharges cleaning water to the part of the human body to be cleaned that is sitting on the toilet seat 1;
5 is a water filter submerged in water in the cistern 2; 5 is a water heater that stores washing water and heats it to an appropriate temperature;
Reference numeral 6 denotes a pump that sucks the water in the cistern 2 through the water filter 4 and pumps it to the water heater 5, and also pumps the hot water in the water heater 5 to the nozzle 3 to discharge cleaning water. Yes, it has a built-in motor as a drive source. 9 is a fan that blows hot air to the hot air outlet 7 for drying the parts to be cleaned that are wet with cleaning water; 10 is a motor that drives the fan; and 11 is for heating the air from the fan to an appropriate temperature. 12 is a control means for controlling the water heater 5, pump 6, motor 10, heater 11, etc.; 13 is an operating section of the control means; B is a sanitary cleaning device incorporating each of the functions described above; It is the main body.

When cleaning with this sanitary cleaning device, the operating section 1
The cleaning switch and the cleaning water amount regulator (not shown) provided at 3 are operated to guide the cleaning water discharged from the cleaning nozzle to the part to be cleaned. When the cleaning is finished, a drying switch (not shown) provided in the operating section 13 operates the motor 10, the fan 9,
The heater 11 is driven and controlled to emit warm air from the hot air outlet 7 to dry the area to be cleaned that has been wetted by cleaning.

However, in the above-mentioned cleaning and drying process, the toilet bowl is dried with filth left behind, which poses a problem of odor and sensory discomfort. Even when flushing, it is not easy to operate the flush lever located behind the user while sitting, and there are problems with comfort and operability.

Purpose of the invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
To provide a sanitary cleaning device capable of drying without leaving any dirt in a toilet bowl.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention is provided with an electromagnetic flush driving means that operates in conjunction with a drying switch, and the toilet bowl can be dried after removing filth, thereby improving comfort during drying. This has the effect of improving operability.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 3 is an installation configuration diagram of a sanitary cleaning device in an embodiment of the present invention. Note that the same symbols are attached to the same members as in the above-mentioned conventional art.

14 is a drying switch provided in the sanitary washing device B, 15 is an electromagnetic flush drive means for driving a flush release valve, and 16 is a control line. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram for energizing the electromagnetic water washing drive means. 17 is the power supply, 18
is a control means for the electromagnetic washing drive means 15, which is composed of a series circuit of a diode 19, a capacitor 20, and a relay 21, and a resistor 22 for discharging the capacitor 20, and is supplied with a power source 17 via a drying switch 14. 23 is a motor that drives the flush valve; 24 is a rotation detection self-holding switch that detects the rotational position of the motor; and contact output 25 of the relay 21.
Connect in parallel with

The operation will be explained using the above configuration.

After the part of the human body to be cleaned is cleaned by the cleaning means, when a drying switch 14 for energizing the drying means is closed, a power source 17 is applied to the motor 10 and the heater 11, and warm air is discharged from the hot air outlet 7. At the same time, the power supply 17 is applied to the control means 18 of the electromagnetic washing drive means 15, and the relay 21 is driven via the diode 19 and capacitor 20. The relay 21 is driven by the charging current of the capacitor 20, and the contact 25 is closed only during the charging period of the capacitor 20. At this time, the power supply 17 is supplied to the flush valve drive motor 23 to open the flush valve and discharge the water stored in the cistern 2 in the toilet bowl A. The rotation detecting self-holding switch 24 opens and stops the motor 23 when the motor 23 rotates to a predetermined position. Then, washing with water is completed.

When the drying switch 14 is opened, the capacitor 20
The charge is discharged through the resistor 22, and the initial state is restored. Needless to say, at this time, the value of the resistor 22 is selected so that the relay 21 does not operate.

It is also possible to provide a flushing switch in parallel with the contact 25 of the relay 21 to perform flushing as desired, and the electromagnetic flushing drive means 15 may be of a structure that allows a manual flushing lever to be operated.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the sanitary cleaning device of the present invention,
After washing the part of the human body that has been wetted with washing water, when the part to be washed is dried with warm air, the electromagnetic flushing drive means that operates in conjunction with the drying switch will cause the toilet bowl to become dirty due to the scattering of waste during washing. Also, waste such as paper from which water droplets adhering to the buttocks have been removed to speed up drying is swept away from the toilet bowl, increasing the water-saving effect during flushing. In addition, the discomfort caused by drying with dirt left behind is eliminated, resulting in a pleasant sensation. Furthermore, there is no need to operate the flush lever at the back while sitting, making it easier to use.
