DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable human body local cleaning apparatus having a cleaning function for jetting cleaning water to a local part of a human body and drying the cleaning water efficiently.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hot water heating toilet seat that cleans a human body after defecation and dries with hot air has reached a penetration rate of about 30% and is growing into a standard device. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a general operation method of the present hot water flush toilet seat is to press a flush switch 21 after defecation to extend the flush nozzle 6 from the main body 1 to clean a human body part, and then to dry. By pressing the switch, the warm air blown out of the warm air drying device 5 (FIG. 4) is used to surround the human body part (the entire buttocks DE depending on the part to be washed).
The washing water on the thigh DA) is dried.

FIG. 6 shows a portable human body local cleaning apparatus. This apparatus is a portable human body local cleaning apparatus for cleaning a human body part by inserting and removing a cleaning nozzle 106 for cleaning a human body.

[0004]

However, according to the former technique, the hot air generated by the hot air drying device 5 can only contact a part of the surface H of the portion wetted by washing.
(0.5 to 5 mm thick layer of warm air), only a part of heat is given to the washing splash water. In other words, the warm air heated from the room temperature of 5 to 35 ° C. to 60 to 90 ° C. is from 60 to 90 ° C. to 35 to 90 ° on the buttocks D epidermis and the surface of the splashed water.
Drying energy is consumed so as to obtain C,
Dry energy is not efficiently consumed so as to be from 90 ° C to 5 to 35 ° C.

[0005] Further, the heat that could not come into contact with water blows out instantaneously without being used for drying, and escapes from the space S between the toilet seat 81 and the toilet bowl 83 to the outside of the portable human body local cleaning device 1. Most are left with the wind and are very inefficient.

Further, the warm air first hits a limited part of the buttocks DE, from which the temperature of the warm air layer which can come into contact with the skin and the washing splash water along the buttocks DE surface is reduced and spread (that is, dilution). Because it blows through while being cooled), the skin surface of the portion where the uncooled hot air first hits drys faster than other portions where the cooled hot air flows, and the temperature rises intensively. As a result, before the entire surface is dried, it may become hot and unbearable, and it is necessary to repeat ON / OFF several times.

[0007] Further, due to these inefficiencies, it often takes 5 minutes or more for the whole to dry with warm air alone, and the user cannot wait for it. Often dry out. Especially the thigh D
In A, the region is hard to dry.

[0008] As described above, it is uneconomical to waste electricity for warm air and waste time for drying, and the operation is troublesome. Regardless, many people just wipe with paper without using the hot air drying function.

However, a person having a local abnormality such as a hemorrhoidal disease, a local disorder, a skin disorder, or the like, exhibits wounds, inflammation, hemorrhoids, etc. around the human body, and the skin becomes hypersensitive or weakened. Wiping leaves scratches, and physical stimuli when wiping tend to cause severe pain. In this way, since people with hemorrhoids and the like are highly likely to worsen their symptoms, doctors and pharmacists often recommend that the local area be kept clean while avoiding excessive irritation. In fact, it is not possible to rely solely on hot air drying for that reason.

If wiping with paper cannot rely on hot-air drying alone, it may be abraded without pain in some cases. There is a problem that it is difficult to clean up the area around the human body including the local area while avoiding irritation.

In view of the above, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-93644 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-118078 discloses a patent publication in which hot air can be positively blown to the buttocks to improve drying efficiency and comfort. Although measures for improvement and the like have been conventionally taken, it is still difficult to solve the above-mentioned problems because the method is based on hot air drying using a heater.

[0012] In the latter technique of a portable human body part cleaning device, only the human body part is cleaned, and no function is provided for drying the human body part.

[0013] The present invention relates to a portable human body local cleaning apparatus having a drying function, in which washing splash water around the human body part is dried with energy efficiency, and the drying energy is uniformly applied to the human body part surrounding, so that the area around the buttocks is improved. Hemorrhoids by eliminating the problem of discomfort due to the polarization of too hot and cold parts, enabling paperless drying, and eliminating physical irritation To reduce the deterioration.

Also, by engaging with the condition of the presence of water, it is possible to safely sterilize and disinfect a local part of the human body, maintain hygiene, and provide a comfortable thermal sensation that promotes blood circulation around the local part to others in the toilet. In order to be able to obtain naturally without being known, a local part of a human body is dried by electromagnetic waves such as infrared rays.

A switch 306 is connected to the infrared ray generating unit 303 via an electric cord 307. The drying switch 305 is connected to the drying pressing switch 306.
The infrared ray is generated or stopped in the infrared ray generating section of the infrared ray generator 301 by pressing the button 5.

A battery E is housed in the portable human body cleaning device 200. This battery E is an infrared generator 301
Is electrically connected to

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the relationship between the controller C and various function switches and function means. The local cleaning switch 205 and the drying switch 305 are connected to the controller C,
As its functional means, a pump PM for supplying cleaning water, an infrared ray generator 303, and a battery E are connected.

When the drying switch 305 shown in FIG. 2 is pressed, an instruction is given via the control device C to irradiate the irradiation section 72 of the electromagnetic wave irradiation device 7 with an electromagnetic wave. The irradiation part 72 made of a ceramic element has a wavelength of 0.87 μm to 10 μm.
It is controlled by the controller C so as to irradiate infrared rays of 00 μm.

When the washing switch 205 is pressed, an instruction is given via the control device C to inject washing water from the ejection portion 203 of the washing nozzle via the pump P.

The operation procedure and effects of the present invention will be described below with reference to examples. The cleaning nozzle 201 of the portable human body local cleaning apparatus 200 is moved from the storage section 207 to Q to P
By rotating in the direction, directing the cleaning jet 203 to the human body part and pressing the local cleaning switch 205,
Cleaning water is spouted from the spouting section 203 to clean the human body part.

After that, when the drying switch 305 is pressed, the infrared rays radiated from the electromagnetic wave irradiation device 7 to the vicinity of the cleaning section are absorbed by the surface of the splash of the washing water and changed into heat, and the splash is evaporated and dried sequentially from the surface. Let me do it. At this time, there is almost no energy loss due to reflection, because the area around the buttocks of the human body, which is the washing part, is not a mirror lined with metal.

Electromagnetic waves such as infrared rays are easily absorbed by water and organic substances, are hardly converted into other energy such as sound, and the irradiated and absorbed components are efficiently heated.

Therefore, the washing splash water (in this case, directly contributing to the evaporation of the washing splash water) and the water and organic matter in the human body cells around the washing portion (in this case, washing by the heat conduction from the epidermis to the washing splash water). (Contributes to the evaporation of the splashing water) and is converted into heat, and the energy of the irradiated electromagnetic waves is effectively used for evaporation and drying of the washing splashing water.

The buttocks D protruding into the bowl of the toilet bowl
Since the infrared rays are radiated to E from a close distance, energy loss due to the infrared rays escaping to another space without hitting the buttocks DE is also eliminated.

According to the present invention, drying by electromagnetic waves such as infrared rays is more energy-efficient (e.g., energy saving, reduction of exhausted CO2 gas, etc.) than hot air drying by a heater which leaves with the wind, in addition to requiring paper as in the prior art. ) Is excellent.

Further, it has recently been found that by irradiating an area irradiated with water with infrared rays for about 20 seconds, E. coli and the like in the area can be sterilized. It is believed that this phenomenon is explained for the following reasons.

That is, fungi bind the surrounding water to the hydrophilic groups of their surface cells in order to buffer external energy and form a barrier for themselves. Therefore, by evaporating this bound water with infrared rays and then irradiating it with water immediately after giving water, molecular movement and ionization occur before the water changes from free water to bound water, thereby protecting the water with bound water. It is thought to cause mechanical and physical damage to the lost bacteria.

As described above, in the present invention, the harmful infrared rays (only infrared rays do not have a sterilizing effect) such as those used in a thermal treatment device are radiated to the periphery of the cleaning section, so that a wide range of water splashed by the cleaning water is scattered. The area around the cleaning section can be safely sterilized and disinfected.

As described above, the synergistic effect of the washing splash water and the infrared rays enables safe sterilization and disinfection without giving a stimulus such as ultraviolet rays. In particular, for those with hemorrhoids who are recommended to keep the affected area clean while avoiding excessive irritation by doctors and pharmacists, it is a great effect to be able to sterilize and maintain cleanliness around the local area with low irritation. It is.

As described above, since infrared rays are less harmful,
There is also an effect that a user who tends to be sickness to intimidation neurosis and who repeatedly repeats washing and drying can use it repeatedly for the purpose of enhancing the sterilizing / cleanliness maintaining effect.

Further, since it is possible to dry efficiently, the necessity of wiping with paper is eliminated, so that physical contact of the washing portion with the skin is eliminated, thereby eliminating irritations such as irritation and abrasions. However, the act of defecation → washing → drying can be performed with ease and ease.

In addition, since the apparatus is simpler than the hot air drying apparatus, it is possible to reduce the cost such as the assembly cost and the failure rate.

In this embodiment, an infrared ray is exemplified as the electromagnetic wave, but the microwave (1000 μm to 1 m).
Visible light (0.4 μm to 0.78 μm) and ultraviolet light (0.1
As long as a material having a heating effect or a sterilizing effect (for example, μm to 0.4 μm) can be used safely, electromagnetic waves in any range of ultra-long wave, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and ultra-short wave can be used.
