Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a sanitary cleaning device that is attached to a toilet bowl and mainly performs washing by spraying water onto a local area after using the toilet.

[Prior art and its problems] In general, this type of cleaning device has a structure that only sprays water in a fixed direction, so the water spray only hits a limited area, and the user has to move his or her body to clean it. I needed to change my position. In addition, since the water was concentrated in a fixed location on sensitive private parts, there were inconveniences such as making the user feel pain.

On the other hand, if the water outlet is enlarged or provided with a large number of water outlets so as to uniformly hit the water over a wide area, a large water discharge capacity is required, and the pump device must be made larger. Furthermore, as seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-110731, there is a device known that can spray flush water by shaking it in the front and back directions of the toilet bowl, which can clean a wide area from front to back. In particular, there were many cases in which the user was forced to move his/her body from side to side because it was easy to leave unwashed items in the lateral direction.

[Means for solving the problem] This invention was made in response to the above problem, and includes a means for spreading or swinging the flushing water in the front and rear directions of the toilet bowl, and a means for spraying water at a predetermined angle with the top surface of the toilet bowl. means for pivotally supporting the water discharging means so as to be rotatable along a plane intersecting the water discharging means; The toilet bowl is improved so that the user can enjoy a comfortable feeling of use without having to move his or her body by having a means for swinging the water discharged from the means in the left and right directions of the toilet bowl.

[Example] Examples thereof will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a toilet bowl, 2 is a toilet seat, 3 is a low tank for flushing, and 4 is a cleaning device main body. A pump 5 sucks water from the low tank 3 through a filter 6 and a hose 7. A hot water tank 8 communicates with the pump 5 via a hose 9, and is equipped with a heater inside to heat the water stored therein to a constant temperature. A water discharge nozzle 10 communicates with the hot water tank 8 via a hose 11 and a solenoid valve 12, and discharges cleaning water that is sucked from the low tank 3 and heated in the hot water tank 8 as the pump 5 is driven. 13 is the operation panel,
It is equipped with switch buttons and adjustment knobs that provide cleaning operations.

2 and 3 are explanatory diagrams of the water spray nozzle 10, which includes a cylinder body 14 and a plunger body 1 that slides inside the cylinder body 14.
5 and a nozzle head 16 attached to the tip of the plunger body 15. As the pump 5 is driven, the water pressure of the cleaning water introduced into the cylinder body 14 increases, and this water pressure causes the spring 17 to
The plunger body 15 is pushed outward against the urging force of the nozzle head 16 to move the nozzle head 16 to a required position to spray water.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a plate that is provided integrally with the water discharge nozzle 20 and is rotatably supported on a shaft 19 that is integrally fixed to the bottom plate of the main body 4. It is formed so that it can rotate along planes that intersect at an angle. 20 is a water supply port provided at the rear end of the cylinder body 14, and is connected to the hose 11.
The water supply port 20 is located as close as possible to the shaft 19, which is the center of rotation, in order to minimize the bending motion of the hose 11 that occurs when the water discharge nozzle 10 rotates about the shaft 19, thereby reducing fatigue of the hose. It is preferable to provide it at a certain position.

21 is a cam mechanism for horizontally swinging the water nozzle 10 within a certain range, and includes a motor 22 and a cam plate 24 that follows the rotation axis of the motor 22 and has an eccentric protrusion 23, and is formed integrally with the plate 18. The transmission arm 25 and the eccentric protrusion 23 are interlocked with each other and are configured to swing the water nozzle via the arm 25.

FIGS. 4a and 4b are enlarged views showing examples of the shape of the water outlet 26 in the nozzle head 16, respectively.
has a plurality of openings arranged in the front-rear direction, and b has a slit-shaped opening that expands in a tapered shape, and discharges water by expanding in the front and rear. In addition to the above-mentioned example, a type that swings the water spray back and forth, as shown in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-110731, may also be used.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic electrical circuit diagram of the embodiment, 2
7 is a drive circuit for the pump 5; 28 is a drive circuit for the motor 22; 29 is a cleaning switch that drives the pump 5 and performs a cleaning operation; 30 is a water discharge nozzle 1;
This is a rocking switch that gives left and right rocking motion to the 0. Buttons for operating these switches 29 and 30 are provided on the operation panel 13.

According to the above embodiment, when the cleaning switch 29 and the swing switch 30 are turned on, the water spray nozzle 10
The water discharge port 26 generates water that spreads to the front and rear of the toilet bowl, and the cam mechanism 21 causes the water discharge nozzle 1
0 rotates within a predetermined range and the water spray swings in the left and right directions of the toilet bowl, making it possible to wash a wide range of water in the front, back, left and right directions. Further, since the water spray nozzle 10 can be stopped at any position by the swing switch 30, the water can be directed to a desired position, and the washing position can be changed without moving the body.

[Effects of the invention] This invention is constructed as described above, and can wash a wide area in the front, back, left and right, and there is no need for the user to move his body to change the washing position. Moreover,
The water does not oscillate from side to side and is concentrated in one spot, so it does not cause any pain to the user. Furthermore, the water spray oscillates and acts on the human body intermittently, creating a pine surge effect as well as cleaning, allowing for comfortable use.
