DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sanitary washing apparatus for washing a female part with washing water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a method in which a woman's local washing nozzle is driven in the front-rear direction to wash a wide area, thereby washing the entire vulva and its surroundings which are contaminated by menstrual blood during menstruation. I have. Furthermore, this is one-way washing from the vagina to the anus, so that there is no concern about the anus and that women can wash with ease. (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 8-120731 and 8-326126)

Further, in addition to the above configuration, the movement position of the nozzle is changed to a position corresponding to each of the anus, the vagina, and the urethra, so that the water force and the washing range are changed in synchronization therewith, and the sense of each local sense is changed. There is shown a sanitary washing device for preventing a decrease in usability due to a difference. (JP-A-8-4927
No. 9)

This is shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cleaning nozzle, in which cleaning water supplied from a cleaning water supply unit (not shown) flows in from a water supply port 2, and a direct injection nozzle hole 3 and a dispersion nozzle hole 4 provided at a tip end portion. Squirts from the body towards the human body. The direct injection nozzle hole 3 and the dispersion nozzle 4
The supply of the washing water to the cleaning water is switched by a flow path switching valve (not shown). Numeral 5 is a driving means for driving the cleaning nozzle 1 forward and backward, and its driving force is determined by gears 6a, 6b, 6
