Definitions
- a sanitary washing apparatus includes a nozzle, a water passage, a tank, and a backflow prevention mechanism.
- the nozzle is configured to discharge water toward a private part of a user.
- the water passage is configured to communicate with the nozzle and a water supply pipe.
- the tank is disposed on the water passage.
- the tank is provided with a heating element inside thereof and configured to store water therein.
- the tank is configured to supply water to the nozzle.
- the backflow prevention mechanism is disposed on the water passage and upstream of the tank.
- the water passage includes a first water passage that connects the water supply pipe and the backflow prevention mechanism, and a second water passage that connects the tank and the nozzle.
- a sanitary washing apparatus includes a tank, a discharge nozzle, and a backflow prevention mechanism.
- the tank is provided with a heating element inside thereof and stores water therein.
- the discharge nozzle discharges water in the tank toward a private part of a user.
- the backflow prevention mechanism has an air gap disposed on an upstream side of the tank and at a site where a flow passage is divided by an atmosphere open space.
- the backflow prevention mechanism includes a spout port, a water-receiving port, and a water drain port.
- the spout port is disposed at an end of a flow passage communicating with a water supply pipe and spouts water in a horizontal direction.
- such a backflow prevention mechanism is a horizontal-type backflow prevention mechanism and a water-receiving port of the backflow prevention mechanism serves as an inflow port of a tank, so that a sanitary washing apparatus can be downsized.
- the water drain port and the water drain channel are formed to have shapes provided by denting the outer wall toward an inside of the tank. Thereby, a water drain channel is not required to be installed as a separate member in a heat exchanged that includes a backflow prevention mechanism, so that the number of parts can be reduced and a tank can be downsized.
- the sanitary washing apparatus includes a pump that is disposed on a downstream side of the tank and supplies water stored in the tank to the discharge nozzle.
- the case houses the pump on a side of a distal end of a slope part where a top surface is downwardly sloped toward a side of a bowl of a toilet in a side view. Thereby, a dead space of a case can be utilized effectively.
- the tank includes a direction-changing part that causes water spouted from the spout port and passing though the water-receiving port to change a direction of its flow downwardly. Thereby, water received through a water-receiving port can efficiently be guided to a tank.
- an open-type tank is separately disposed on an upstream side of a tank of a heat exchanger and such an open-type tank is provided with a vertical-type backflow prevention mechanism that spouts water in a vertical direction.
- Water stored in such an open-type tank is pumped to such a tank of a heat exchanger by a pump disposed on a downstream side of the open-type tank and subsequently supplied to a nozzle unit.
- the thermistor 73 detects temperature of water in the tank 80 and outputs a signal that indicates detected temperature.
- the bimetal 74 is interposed in an energization circuit (not-illustrated) for the heating element 71.
- the bimetal 74 opens a contact in an energization circuit in a case where temperature of water in the tank 80 is higher than a predetermined level, so that energization of the heating element 71 is blocked.
- a predetermined temperature can be set arbitrary, and it is preferable to set, for example, a value enabling to detect an excessive temperature rise of water in the tank.
- the pump 130 is disposed on a downstream side of the tank 80 and the strainer 110.
- the pump 130 is driven in response to a control signal from the control part 200 and supplies water stored in the tank 80 to the discharge nozzle 41.
- the seating sensor 210 is disposed at, for example, an appropriate position of the case 31 (see FIG. 1 ) and detects that a user sits on a toilet seat.
- the seating sensor 210 outputs a predetermined signal that indicates seating in a case where the seating is detected.
- a light-projecting-and-receiving-type distance sensor can be used for the seating sensor 210.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sanitary washing apparatus 20. Any view in FIG. 3 and subsequent figures that illustrate a configuration of the sanitary washing apparatus 20 is a schematic diagram.
- the case cover 31 b is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the plate 31 a and mounted so as to cover tops of various components disposed on the plate 31 a.
- the case cover 31 b is indicated by an imaginary line so that an inside of the case 31 is indicated transparently.
- the backflow prevention mechanism 90 is disposed on top of the tank 80.
- the backflow prevention mechanism 90 is disposed on an upper right portion of the tank 80, in other words, on a side of the discharge nozzle 41 on top of the tank 80.
- the backflow prevention mechanism 90 is disposed on top of the tank 80 and not limited thereto, and the backflow prevention mechanism 90 may be disposed at, for example, an upper position that separates from the tank 80 by a predetermined distance.
- water spouted from the spout port 91 is indicated by an arrow of broken line D1.
- a term of "horizontal”, “vertical”, or the like does not necessarily need mathematically strict precision and a substantial tolerance or error or the like is permitted.
- the second seal member 116b is mounted on the sealing part 113a of the cap 113.
- the second seal member 116b seals a gap between the sealing part 113a and the water drain hole 83 in a watertight manner when the strainer 110 is disposed at a position where the water drain hole 83 is sealed thereby.
- the cover 120 configured as mentioned above is installed in the water drain hole 83 so that one end 120d of the cover 120 is communicated with the water drain hole 83.
- a female screw 83b capable of engaging with the male screw 112a is formed on the water drain hole 83 of the tank 80. Therefore, the male screw 112a is engaged with the female screw 83b, so that the strainer 110 is installed in the water drain hole 83. The male screw 112a is loosened with respect to the female screw 83b, so that the strainer 110 is removed from the water drain hole 83.
- the strainer 110 is provided so as to be attachable to and detachable from the water drain hole 83, and hence, the strainer 110 is removed from the water drain hole 83, so that scale in the tank 80 can reliably be discharged.
- water supplied from the tank 80 passes through the outflow port 82b and the filter 114 as indicated by an arrow D9, and as water passes through the filter 114, scale included therein is captured. Water having passed through the filter 114 flows on the second flow passage 100, and subsequently, is discharged from the discharge nozzle 41 through the pump 130.
- the case 31 is provided with the above-mentioned taking-out hole 34 (see FIG. 3 ), and hence, the strainer 110 is taken out through the taking-out hole 34.
- the case 31 is provided with the taking-out hole 34, so that the strainer 110 can be removed from the tank 80 without removing the case cover 31 b or the like.
- the slope part 37 is positioned so as to cover a front side of the plate 31 a (a negative direction of a Y-axis).
- the slope part 37 is formed in such a manner that an upper surface 37a thereof is continuous with the rectangular part 36.
- the upper surface 37a of the slope part 37 is continuous with the front surface 36a of the rectangular part 36 on a side of a proximal end 37a1 thereof, and is sloped forward and downward so as to be directed downward on a side of a distal end 37a2 thereof.
- the slope part 37 configured as mentioned above is provided in such a manner that an internal space 39 with a trapezoidal shape or a substantially trapezoidal shape is formed in a side view.
- the internal space 39 is comparative narrow and has a deformed shape, and hence, is frequently a dead space.
- the above-mentioned pump 130 is contained on a side of the distal end 37a2 of the slope part 37 in the sanitary washing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment. Thereby, a dead space of the case 31 can be utilized effectively.
- the heating element control unit 203 operates the heating element 71 to heat water in the tank 80 in a case where temperature of water in the tank 80 that is detected by the state detection unit 201 is lower than a reference temperature. On the other hand, the heating element control unit 203 stops an operation of the heating element 71 in a case where temperature of water in the tank 80 is higher than or equal to such a reference temperature.
- the state detection unit 201 detects an ON signal from the seating sensor 210. Then, as an instruction for starting washing is input by a user through the operation part 220 at a time T2, the water supply control part 202 drives the pump 130 to discharge water (hot water) in the tank 80 from the discharge nozzle 41.
- hot water in the tank 80 is provided with a reference symbol HW and indicated by dots
- cold water is provided with a reference symbol CW and indicated by diagonal lines.
- hot water HW means water heated by the heating element 71 to have temperature around reference temperature
- cold water CW means water at temperature that has not yet reached such reference temperature, for example, immediately after water flows into the tank 80 through the water inflow pipe 81.
- the water supply control unit 202 stops the pump 130 to stop discharge of water from the discharge nozzle 41.
- the water supply control unit 202 also closes the electromagnetic valve 62 to stop supply of water into the tank 80 (see FIG. 15E ).
- a float switch ON time is longer than a third predetermined time A3 at a time T12
- the water supply control unit 202 closes the electromagnetic valve 62 to stop supply of water into the tank 80.
- a third predetermined time A3 is settable at an arbitrary value, and is set at, for example, a value of a few seconds to several tens of seconds.
- the outlet 81 b of the water inflow pipe 81 is positioned closer to the heating element 71.
- the water inflow pipe 81 is provided in such a manner that the outlet 81 b is disposed above the center line 71 a of the heating element 71, and is not limited thereto.
- the backflow prevention mechanism 90 includes the spout port 91, the water-receiving port 92, and the water drain port 93.
- the spout port 91 is disposed at the end 60a of the first flow passage 60 communicating with the water supply pipe A and spouts water in a horizontal direction.
- the water-receiving port 92 is disposed to be opposed to the spout port 91 through the atmosphere open space 94, receives water spouted from the spout port 91, and serves as the inflow port 81 a of the tank 80.
- the water drain port 93 drains water remaining in the space 94.
- the backflow prevention mechanism 90 is a horizontal type and the water-receiving port 92 of the backflow prevention mechanism 90 serves as the inflow port 81 a of the tank 80, so that the sanitary washing apparatus 20 can be downsized.
- supply of water into the tank 80 is started after an output of the float switch 72 is switched from an ON signal to an OFF signal and subsequently the first predetermined time A1 is elapsed, and is not limited thereto. That is, for example, supply of water into the tank 80 may be started at a time when an output of the float switch 72 is switched from an ON signal to an OFF signal.
