Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a private parts cleaning device for cleaning private parts of the human body.

[Background Art] Conventionally, this type of private parts cleaning device has a cleaning device that spouts hot water from a cleaning nozzle disposed in the toilet bowl, a drying device that sends out warm air, and an operation switch that controls the water pressure level and the wind pressure level. The cleaning control means controls the operation of the cleaning means and the drying means based on the output of the level setting means for setting the level setting means, and the data memory for storing the level of the level setting means is formed by RAM, and The water pressure level for spouting hot water and the wind pressure level for drying hot air can be set arbitrarily according to the user's preference. By the way, in such a conventional example, the data memory for storing the level is stored at the time when the main power supply that supplies power to all equipment such as the cleaning control means, the cleaning means, the drying means, etc. including the level storage means is turned on. The contents, that is, level data, were random, and it was necessary to set appropriate water pressure and wind pressure levels every time the power was turned on. However, if you turn off the main power while you are away for a long time, if the power plug is inadvertently disconnected, or if a power outage occurs, you may forget these initial settings when the main power is turned on. In such a case, it is not known what level the hot water pressure level and hot air wind pressure level should be set to, and if they are set too high or too low, the cleaning operation or drying may occur at an unexpected level. There was a problem in that the user was frightened when the device started operating, or the user was misled into thinking that there was a malfunction.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to set the water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air to an intermediate value of a settable range immediately after power is turned on. To provide a private part cleaning device which prevents a user from starting a cleaning operation or a drying operation at an unexpected level by setting such settings, and which does not frighten a user immediately after turning on the power or mislead the user into thinking that the device is malfunctioning. There is a particular thing.

[Disclosure of the Invention] (Structure) Fig. 1 shows the structure of the present invention, which includes a cleaning means 4 that spouts hot water from a cleaning nozzle 2 disposed in a toilet bowl 1, and a drying means that sends out warm air. 7 and
It comprises an operation switch means 9 and a cleaning control means 10 for controlling the operation of the cleaning means 4 and the drying means 7 based on the output of the level setting means 8 for setting the water pressure level and the wind pressure level, and a level memory of the level setting means 8. In a private part cleaning device in which a data memory for use is formed of RAM, a cleaning control means 10 including a level storage means 8, a cleaning means 4, a drying means 7
This device is provided with an initial level setting means 13 that sets the level data stored in the level storage data memory to approximately the middle value of the settable range when the source power supply that supplies power to all devices is turned on. Since the water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air are set to the middle value of the settable range, the cleaning or drying operation does not start at an unexpected level, and it can be used immediately after the power is turned on. This has the effect of not frightening people or causing them to think that there is a malfunction.

Note that the display means 15 displays the water pressure level set by the level setting means 8 or the wind pressure level of the hot air for drying. Further, the cleaning means 4 includes a cleaning nozzle 2 and a cleaning nozzle 2.
The drying means 7 is composed of a heater 5 and a blower fan 6, and the driving means 11 is controlled by a control signal output from the cleaning control means 10. It is designed to be driven through.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 2 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a private parts cleaning device includes a hot water tank 20 on one side of the toilet bowl 1, and a solenoid valve on the top of the hot water tank 20. A cleaning nozzle 2 communicated with the cleaning nozzle 2 through the toilet bowl 1 is swingably provided in the toilet bowl 1, and when the clean (for anal cleaning) operation switch 9a or the beauty (for bidet cleaning) operation switch 9c is pressed, the cleaning nozzle 2 is opened. is rotated to a predetermined position by the drive motor 37 until the drying operation switch 9b is pressed, the submersible pump 3 provided in the wash water tank 22 is operated, and this pump 3 operates. Hot water is jetted from the cleaning nozzle 2 under the pressure of water supplied to the lower part of the hot water tank 20 to clean the private parts of the human body. Here, the water pressure level of the hot water jetted from the cleaning nozzle 2 (the operating level of the pump 3) is determined by the level setting switch 24.
It is set in a, 24b,
When pressing the “high” level setting switch 24a,
The water pressure level increases by one step, and each time the "low" level setting switch 24b is pressed, the water pressure level decreases by one step. Here, every time the level setting of the water pressure level is changed by operating the level setting switches 24a and 24b, a confirmation sound with a pitch corresponding to the water pressure level is emitted from a confirmation sound generating means (not shown), and the setting is confirmed. Changes in the level can be recognized by hearing without looking at the display means 15. Furthermore, as the setting level of the water pressure level becomes higher, the pitch of the confirmation sound becomes higher, and depending on the pitch of the confirmation sound, the display means 15
You can now tell whether the water pressure level is high or low without looking at it. This level setting switch 2
The water pressure level set in 4a and 24b is indicated by LED.
It is displayed on the display means 15 formed by 25a to 25g, and is also stored in a level storage data memory formed by RAM. By the way, a toilet seat switch 12 that is activated when a predetermined weight is applied is provided on the pivot portion of the toilet seat 30 that is rotatably attached to the toilet bowl 1. When the user sits on the toilet seat 30, the toilet seat switch 12 is activated. is turned on and a usage detection signal is output. When this usage detection signal is input to the cleaning control means 10, the cleaning means 4 and the drying means 7 of the private parts cleaning device are set to an operable state, and the water pressure level preset in the level storage data memory is set. It is adapted to be displayed on the display means 15. In the embodiment, the LEDs 25a to 25g of the display means 15 also serve to display the wind pressure level of the hot drying air stored in advance in the level storage data memory, and the wind pressure level of the hot drying air is The setting is performed in the same way as setting the water pressure level using the level setting switches 24a and 24b when the drying operation switch 9b is pressed to start the drying operation, and the setting using the level setting switches 24a and 24b When changing the level, a confirmation sound with a pitch corresponding to the wind pressure level is generated, making it easy to select the wind pressure level. Further, each of the operation switches 9a to 9c has built-in LEDs 26a to 26c for displaying operation, and the current operating state is displayed by lighting the LEDs 26a to 26c. Furthermore, the cleaning operation and the drying operation can also be stopped by operating the operation switches 9a to 9c again. The power lamp 27 is a light emitting diode that indicates whether or not power is being supplied to the private parts cleaning device, and the operation section 36 with a lid has a
Volumes for setting the hot water temperature and hot air temperature, and means for turning on and off the heater in the hot water tank 20, which are not frequently operated in normal cleaning operations, are provided.

By the way, the initial level setting means 13 includes a power-on detection circuit that detects that the power is turned on;
and a data writing circuit that writes level data of an intermediate level in a settable range by the level setting means 8 to a level storage data memory as an initial setting level for hot water and hot air when a power-on detection signal is obtained. This prevents the water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air from remaining set too high or too low when the power is turned on.

Note that a control circuit 28 including the cleaning control means 10, drive means 11, initial level setting means 13, etc. formed using a CPU is housed in the toilet main body housing 29.

The operation of the embodiment will be specifically explained below. I have now installed a private cleaning device, and when I turn on the power for the first time, when I turn on the power after returning from a long absence,
When the main power is turned on at the time of recovery from a power outage, etc., the power lamp 27 lights up to indicate that the standby state has been set, and at the same time, the initial level setting means 13 operates and the level setting means 8 sets the level. The water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air are set to approximately the center of the settable range. That is, in the embodiment, the settable range of each level can be set to eight levels from level "1" to "8", so the initial setting level when the power is turned on is the intermediate value. However, it is set to level "4". Therefore, immediately after turning on the power, the user does not have to set the water pressure level of hot water and the air pressure level of warm air, and then switch the cleaning operation switch 9.
Even when operating switch a, 9c or drying operation switch 9b, the cleaning or drying operation does not start at an unexpected level (excessive or insufficient level), which frightens the user immediately after turning on the power. This ensures that there is no possibility of the product being damaged or causing people to mistake it for malfunction. Next, when the user sits on the toilet seat 30, the toilet seat switch 12 is turned on and the use detection signal is input to the cleaning control means 10, and the cleaning means 4 and the drying means 7 are in the operable state (operation switch 9a The water pressure level set by the level setting means 8 is displayed on the display means 15. Therefore, the user can check the water pressure level of hot water jetted from the cleaning nozzle 2 when sitting on the toilet seat 30, and adjust the water pressure level by operating the level setting switches 24a and 24b as necessary. It can be adjusted according to the user's preference. Here, when changing the water pressure level, use the level setting switch 24a,
24b to set the predetermined level, and each time the setting level is changed, a confirmation sound corresponding to the setting level is generated, and the user can confirm the setting level by this confirmation sound. It's summery. In this state, when the clean or beauty operation switch 9a, 9c is pressed, the cleaning control means 10 drives the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21 for a short time (for example, 1 second), and the cleaning nozzle 2 pipe Hot water is supplied inside the cleaning nozzle 2, and cold water remaining inside the pipe of the cleaning nozzle 2 is jetted out and removed. Next, the driving of the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21 is temporarily stopped, and the driving motor 37 swings the cleaning nozzle 2 from the storage position to the cleaning position.
is driven, moved to the cleaning nozzle 2 or a predetermined position, and then stopped. In this way, the cleaning nozzle 2
With the is set at a predetermined position, the pump 3 and solenoid valve 21 are driven again, hot water is force-fed to the cleaning nozzle 2, and hot water at a predetermined water pressure level is spouted from the nozzle hole formed at the tip. There is. At this time, the voltage applied to the pump 3 rises relatively slowly until the set water pressure level is obtained in about 1 second, resulting in a so-called soft start. Next, when the drying operation switch 9b is turned on, the drive of the pump 3 and the electromagnetic valve 21 is stopped, the spouting of hot water is finished, and the drive motor 37 is reversed to return the cleaning nozzle 2 to its original storage position. At the same time, the drying means 7
The heater 5 and the blower fan 6 are driven,
The cleaned private area is then dried. In this state, the wind pressure level of the hot drying air can be changed by pressing the level setting switches 24a and 24b, and each time the set level is changed, a confirmation sound with a pitch corresponding to the wind pressure level will be emitted. ing. When the private parts washed in this way are dried and the user stands up, the toilet seat switch 12 is turned off and no use detection signal is output, so the drying means 7 is stopped and the power supply to other means is stopped. The toilet seat switch 12 is then turned on.
It will be in standby mode until it is turned on. Note that when the cleaning operation is completed and the cleaning nozzle is returned to the storage position, the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21 are driven again to supply warm water to the cleaning nozzle 2, and the cleaning nozzle 2 is cleaned. It's starting to become easier. Additionally, if cleaning nozzles are provided separately for clean and beauty purposes, and both cleaning nozzles are stored adjacent to each other, hot water can be jetted out alternately to perform the cleaning process on the other side. good.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a cleaning means for spouting hot water from a cleaning nozzle disposed in the toilet bowl, a drying means for sending out warm air, an operation switch means, a water pressure level, and a wind pressure level. A cleaning control means for controlling the operation of the cleaning means and the drying means based on the output of the level setting means for setting the level, and a data memory for storing the level of the level setting means is formed of RAM. An initial stage in which the level data stored in the level storage data memory is set to approximately the middle value of the settable range when the main power source that supplies power to all equipment such as the cleaning control means, cleaning means, and drying means including the storage means is turned on. This device is equipped with a level setting means, and when the power is turned on, the water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air are set to the middle value of the settable range, so washing or drying operations can occur at unexpected levels. This has the effect that the user will not be startled immediately after the power is turned on, or will not be misled into thinking there is a malfunction.
