For this purpose, a pump (see FIG. 3), a hot air drying fan (not shown), and the like are provided. In addition, a heating toilet seat 17 and a toilet lid 18 are attached to the toilet seat box 12 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the hot water cleaning apparatus includes an acoustic device 30, an operation unit 14, a control unit 20, a cleaning nozzle switching valve 21, a buttocks cleaning nozzle 15, a bidet cleaning nozzle 16, and a pump 22. The acoustic device 30 includes a sound source unit 30s, a music output unit (speaker) 30a, and an output level detection unit 30b that detects an output level from the music output unit 30a. The operation unit 14, the control unit 20, the cleaning nozzles 15 and 16, and the pump 22 constitute cleaning strength adjusting means.

  The sound source means 30s is not particularly limited, and may be a radio or television in addition to a CD playback device, an MD playback device, or a cassette tape playback device. The music output means 30a may be headphones.

  The output level detection means 30b may detect the volume level as the output level, or may detect the sound level as the output level. The output level detecting means 30b may detect a sound generated from the music output means (speaker) 30a, but it detects an electric signal transmitted to the speaker or is set in the sound source means 30s. It is easier to detect a certain output level (for example, a resistance value of a volume made up of a variable resistor) or to detect the volume of sound recorded on a CD, MD, cassette tape or the like.

  In the hot water washing apparatus configured as described above, when the user operates the anal music washing operation switch 14b of the operation unit 14 after the stool, a signal from the switch 14b is transmitted from the operation unit 14 to the control unit 20. At the same time, an average cleaning strength signal from the cleaning strength adjusting knob 14 f and a volume signal from the volume adjusting knob 14 g are also transmitted to the control unit 20.

  The control unit 20 that has received these signals transmits a switching signal to the cleaning nozzle switching valve 21 and switches the cleaning nozzle switching valve 21 so that warm water flows through the cleaning nozzle 15. Further, the control unit 20 transmits an average cleaning strength signal to the pump 22 to rotate the pump 22 at an average rotational speed corresponding to the cleaning strength signal. Further, the control unit 20 transmits a volume instruction signal to the sound source means 30 s in the acoustic device 30. The sound source means 30s switches the amplification factor of the output amplifier circuit in accordance with the volume instruction signal. The music output means 30a is activated by the signal from the sound source means 30s to generate a music sound source.

  The output level output to the music output means 30a is continuously detected by the output level detection means 30b in the acoustic device 30. The detected output level is continuously transmitted to the control unit 20 as an output level signal.

  The control unit 20 that has received the output level signal converts the output level signal into a cleaning strength signal and transmits it to the pump 22 to change the rotational speed of the pump 22. Corresponding to the change in the rotational speed of the pump 22, the jet strength of the washing water from the butt washing nozzle 15 changes.

  When the control unit 20 converts the output level signal from the output level detection means into the cleaning strength signal, the cleaning strength signal may be changed based on the relative change in the volume, and the absolute value of the volume ( That is, the strength of the cleaning strength signal may be set based on the magnitude of the output level signal. In the case where the cleaning strength signal is set according to the relative change in volume, the user can independently adjust the size of the music that is heard and the average cleaning strength. For this reason, for example, it is convenient when the user wants to listen to music at a low sound volume but has a strong cleaning strength, or conversely, wants to listen to music at a high sound volume but has a low cleaning strength. In the case where the cleaning strength signal is set according to the absolute value of the volume, the user can experience the cleaning strength corresponding to the size of the music that is heard.

  If it is desired to change the average cleaning strength, the cleaning strength adjusting knob 14f is operated. Then, a cleaning strength signal from the knob 14 f is transmitted to the control unit 20, and the control unit 20 transmits an average cleaning strength signal to the pump 22 to change the average rotational speed of the pump 22.

  Further, when it is desired to change the volume of the music, the volume adjustment knob 14g is operated. Then, the volume signal from the knob 14g is transmitted to the control unit 20, and the control unit 20 transmits the volume instruction signal to the sound source means 30s in the acoustic device 30 and is switched to the amplification factor corresponding to the volume instruction signal. .

  When the stop switch 14 a of the operation unit 14 is operated, a stop signal is transmitted to the control unit 20. The control unit 20 transmits a stop signal to the pump 22 to stop the pump 22, and the control unit 20 outputs to the acoustic device 30. Send a stop signal to stop the music output.

  When the user operates the anus normal washing operation switch 14 a or the bidet washing operation switch 14 d of the operation unit 14, an operation signal is transmitted from the operation unit 14 to the control unit 20. Further, a cleaning strength signal from the cleaning strength adjusting knob 14 f is also transmitted to the control unit 20.

  The control unit 20 that has received these signals transmits a switching signal to the cleaning nozzle switching valve 21, and the cleaning nozzle 15 (when the anus normal cleaning operation switch 14a is operated) or the bidet cleaning nozzle 16 (the bidet cleaning operation). When the switch 14d is operated), the washing nozzle switching valve 21 is switched so that warm water flows. In addition, the control unit 20 transmits a cleaning strength signal to the pump 22 and rotates the pump 22 at a rotation speed corresponding to the cleaning strength signal.

  When the cleaning strength adjusting knob 14f is operated, the cleaning strength signal is transmitted again to the control unit 20, and the control unit 20 transmits the cleaning strength signal to the pump 22 to determine the rotation speed of the pump 22 as the cleaning strength signal. Change to the rotation speed corresponding to.

  When the stop switch 14 a of the operation unit 14 is operated, a stop signal is transmitted to the control unit 20, and the control unit 20 transmits a stop signal to the pump 22 to stop the pump 22.

  In the hot water cleaning apparatus according to the present embodiment, when the music cleaning mode is selected by operating the anal music cleaning operation switch, the cleaning strength of the cleaning water ejected from the buttocks cleaning nozzle 15 is automatically adjusted to the music. Therefore, the change pattern of the strength of jetting of washing water becomes remarkably diverse. It is also possible to experience music rhythms and melodies as stimuli for the buttocks. Furthermore, a massage effect tailored to music can be obtained, and the user can be relaxed. It is also possible to select the normal washing mode that performs straight washing with a constant warm washing strength by operating the anus normal washing operation switch, and the music washing mode and the normal washing mode can be used properly according to preference it can.
