Description

本発明は、人体を洗浄する人体洗浄手段に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a human body cleaning means for cleaning a human body.

一般に、洗浄ノズル体より洗浄水を噴出して用便後の人体の局部を洗浄する人体洗浄装置は知られている。従来のこの種の人体洗浄装置に使用されている洗浄ノズル体では、洗浄水に空気を混入して吐水するものがあった(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   In general, a human body washing apparatus that flushes washing water from a washing nozzle body to wash a local part of a human body after a stool is known. Some cleaning nozzle bodies used in this type of conventional human body cleaning apparatus discharge water by mixing air into the cleaning water (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図13は、特許文献1に記載された従来の人体洗浄手段としての洗浄ノズル体を示すものである。図13に示すように洗浄ノズル体1は、洗浄水流路2と、空気流路3と、気泡混入部4と、噴出部5から構成されている。ここで、洗浄ノズル体1内の洗浄水流路2を流れる洗浄水は、気泡混入部4において空気流路3を通って導入される空気と混合され、空気を含んだ洗浄水は噴出部5より吐水される。このように洗浄水に空気を混入することで洗浄水の水勢を変化させることができ、洗浄感および洗浄能力を高める効果があった。
特開平11−350569号公報

Here, the cleaning water flowing through the cleaning water flow path 2 in the cleaning nozzle body 1 is mixed with the air introduced through the air flow path 3 in the bubble mixing section 4, and the cleaning water containing air is supplied from the ejection section 5. Water is discharged. Thus, by mixing air into the cleaning water, the water flow of the cleaning water can be changed, and there is an effect of improving the feeling of cleaning and the cleaning ability.
JP-A-11-350569

しかしながら、上記従来の構成では、人体を洗浄するために洗浄ノズル体1を人体洗浄装置本体に設け、この人体洗浄装置本体から便器内に洗浄ノズル体1を便器内に突き出した状態で洗浄動作を行うので洗浄水に混入する空気を、人体洗浄装置本体から突き出ている洗浄ノズル体1の吐水口(空気混入部4の先付近)近傍で、便器の中央付近から吸入していた。そして、この吸引した空気は、便器中央付近の排泄物の臭いがたちこめる可能性のある場所の空気であるため、使用者に不快感を与えることがあった。   However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the cleaning nozzle body 1 is provided in the human body cleaning apparatus main body for cleaning the human body, and the cleaning operation is performed with the cleaning nozzle body 1 protruding into the toilet bowl from the human body cleaning apparatus main body. Therefore, the air mixed in the cleaning water was sucked in from the vicinity of the center of the toilet near the water discharge port (near the tip of the air mixing unit 4) of the cleaning nozzle body 1 protruding from the main body cleaning apparatus body. And since this sucked air is air in a place where there is a possibility that the smell of excrement near the center of the toilet bowl may be filled, the user may feel uncomfortable.

上記従来の問題点に鑑み、本発明が解決しようとする課題は、洗浄水に混入する空気を、使用者に不清潔な感じを与えない場所から吸入し、衛生的な感じの得られる人体洗浄手段を提供することにある。   In view of the above-described conventional problems, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to inhale air mixed in cleaning water from a place that does not give the user an unclean feeling, and to clean the human body with a hygienic feeling It is to provide means.

本発明の人体洗浄手段は、内部に洗浄水を流す水流路、空気を流す空気流路、洗浄水に空気を混入する空気混入体を有し、空気混入の洗浄水を先端部より噴出する棒状の洗浄ノズル体を備え、前記空気流路は空気取り入れ口を、前記洗浄ノズル体の後部またはそれより上流側に配置したものである。   The human body cleaning means of the present invention has a water flow path for flowing cleaning water therein, an air flow path for flowing air, an air mixing body for mixing air into the cleaning water, and a rod-like shape for ejecting cleaning water mixed with air from the tip. The air flow path has an air intake port disposed at the rear of the cleaning nozzle body or upstream thereof.

上記構成により、例えば人体洗浄装置本体に洗浄ノズル体を使用した場合には比較的きれいな人体洗浄装置本体内の空気を取り入れて洗浄水に混入して吐水でき、使用者は清潔感が得られる。また、洗浄水への空気の混入は所定長さの空気流路を経て空気混入体に至って行われるため、結果として洗浄ノズル体の先端部で洗浄水が吐水される直前に実施することが可能になり、洗浄水に空気をまんべんなく散在させることができて使用者はマイルドで、かつ十分な洗浄感が得られるとともに、高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   With the above configuration, for example, when a cleaning nozzle body is used for the human body cleaning device main body, relatively clean air in the human body cleaning device main body can be taken in and mixed into the cleaning water to discharge water, and the user can feel clean. In addition, since air is mixed into the cleaning water through the air passage of a predetermined length to the air mixing body, it can be performed immediately before the cleaning water is discharged at the tip of the cleaning nozzle body. Thus, air can be evenly scattered in the cleaning water, and the user can obtain a mild and sufficient cleaning feeling and high cleaning performance.

本発明の人体洗浄手段は、比較的きれいな空気を洗浄水に混入できるので、使用者は清潔感を得ることができるとともに、空気を洗浄水にまんべんなく散在させることができるので、使用者はマイルドで、かつ十分な洗浄感と高い洗浄性能を得ることができる。   The human body cleaning means of the present invention can mix relatively clean air into the cleaning water, so that the user can get a clean feeling and the air can be evenly scattered in the cleaning water. In addition, sufficient cleaning feeling and high cleaning performance can be obtained.

第1の発明は、内部に洗浄水を流す水流路、空気を流す空気流路、洗浄水に空気を混入する空気混入体を有し、空気混入の洗浄水を先端部より噴出する棒状の洗浄ノズル体を備え、前記空気流路は空気取り入れ口を、前記洗浄ノズル体の後部またはそれより上流側に配置したものである。   1st invention has the water flow path which flows wash water in the inside, the air flow path which flows air, and the air mixing body which mixes air in wash water, and is a rod-shaped washing which spouts air-mixed wash water from a tip part A nozzle body is provided, and the air flow path has an air intake port arranged at the rear part of the cleaning nozzle body or upstream thereof.

これにより、洗浄水に混入する空気の取り入れ口は、洗浄ノズル体の後部またはそれより上流側に位置するので、例えば人体洗浄装置本体に洗浄ノズル体を使用した場合には比較的きれいな人体洗浄装置本体内の空気を取り入れて洗浄水に混入して吐水でき、従来のように便器の中央付近の空気ではなくなり、使用者は清潔感が得られる。   Thereby, since the intake port of the air mixed in the cleaning water is located at the rear part of the cleaning nozzle body or upstream thereof, for example, when the cleaning nozzle body is used for the human body cleaning apparatus body, a relatively clean human body cleaning apparatus The air inside the body can be taken in and mixed with the wash water to discharge water, and the air near the center of the toilet is lost as in the conventional case, and the user can get a clean feeling.

また、例えば洗浄水への空気の混入を洗浄ノズル体の上流部で行う場合には、混入された空気と洗浄水とが水流路を流れる間に洗浄水中に混入された空気同士が互いに結合し合って空気の泡が大きくなり、吐水口からから洗浄水が吐水される際には、空気が大きな塊となってしまって吐出される。   Further, for example, when air is mixed into the cleaning water upstream of the cleaning nozzle body, the air mixed in the cleaning water is coupled to each other while the mixed air and the cleaning water flow through the water flow path. In combination, the air bubbles become large, and when the washing water is discharged from the water outlet, the air becomes a large lump and is discharged.

然るに本実施の形態では、洗浄水への空気の混入は所定長さの空気流路を経て空気混入体に至って行われるため、結果として洗浄ノズル体の先端部で洗浄水が吐水される直前に実施することが可能になり、すなわち、洗浄水への空気の混入が、洗浄ノズル体の先端部の洗浄水が吐水される直前に実施されるので空気同士が結合せず微細粒のまま洗浄水と一緒に吐水されるため、空気を噴流中の洗浄水にまんべんなく散在させることができ、使用者はマイルドで、かつ十分な洗浄感を得ることができる。   However, in the present embodiment, since the air is mixed into the cleaning water through the air passage having a predetermined length to reach the air mixing body, as a result, immediately before the cleaning water is discharged at the tip of the cleaning nozzle body. In other words, since the mixing of air into the cleaning water is performed immediately before the cleaning water at the tip of the cleaning nozzle body is discharged, the cleaning water remains in a fine particle state without air being combined. Since the water is discharged together with the air, the air can be evenly scattered in the washing water in the jet, and the user can obtain a mild and sufficient feeling of washing.

第2の発明は、特に、第1の発明の空気取り入れ口を、洗浄ノズル体を設けた人体洗浄装置本体内部に位置するように構成したもので、便器とは人体洗浄装置本体を構成する外装体で隔てられた装置本体内部の空間から、比較的きれいな空気を搬送してきてこれを洗浄水に混入するので、使用者はさらに清潔感が得られる。   In the second invention, in particular, the air intake of the first invention is configured so as to be positioned inside the human body cleaning apparatus main body provided with the cleaning nozzle body, and the toilet constitutes the human body cleaning apparatus main body. Since relatively clean air is conveyed from the space inside the apparatus main body separated by the body and mixed into the washing water, the user can obtain a further clean feeling.

第3の発明は、特に、第1または第2の発明の空気流路を、洗浄ノズル体内の水流路以外の部分で構成したもので、従って特別に空気流路を構成する例えばパイプを設けなくても洗浄ノズル体の内部そのものが空気の流路となるため、簡単な構成で空気流路が実現できる。   In the third invention, in particular, the air flow path of the first or second invention is configured by a portion other than the water flow path in the cleaning nozzle body, and therefore, for example, a pipe that specifically forms the air flow path is not provided. However, since the inside of the cleaning nozzle body itself becomes the air flow path, the air flow path can be realized with a simple configuration.

第4の発明は、特に、第1〜第3のいずれか1つの発明の洗浄ノズル体と空気混入体は別材質で形成したもので、洗浄ノズル体として例えば、筒状体を使用し、空気混入体として例えば、内部に空洞部分とそうでない部分とが共に存在して複雑な形状をし、外形が塊の形態をしたものを使用した場合、これらを同じ材料を用いて形成するよりも別材質で形成した方が、それぞれ加工が容易となる。   In the fourth invention, in particular, the cleaning nozzle body and the aeration body of any one of the first to third inventions are formed of different materials. For example, a cylindrical body is used as the cleaning nozzle body, and the air For example, when a hollow object and a non-existing part are both present and have a complicated shape, and the outer shape is a lump, the mixture is different from the formation of the same material. Each material is easier to process.

第5の発明は、特に、第1〜第4のいずれか1つの発明の空気混入体を、合成樹脂で形成したもので、加工上、空気混入体を作る際に必要な精度が確保しやすい。   In the fifth invention, in particular, the aeration body according to any one of the first to fourth inventions is formed of a synthetic resin, and it is easy to ensure the accuracy necessary for making the aeration body for processing. .

第6の発明は、特に、第1〜第5のいずれか1つの発明の洗浄ノズル体を、抗菌材質とするもので、洗浄ノズル体の部分が菌などによって汚れるのを防ぐことができる。   In the sixth invention, in particular, the cleaning nozzle body of any one of the first to fifth inventions is made of an antibacterial material, and the portion of the cleaning nozzle body can be prevented from being contaminated by bacteria.

第7の発明は、特に、第1〜第6のいずれか1つの発明の洗浄ノズル体を、金属とするもので、洗浄ノズル体を例えば薄肉の金属の筒状体を使用して形成する場合、強度が確保できる上、加工が容易であるとともに、汚れを拭き取るなどの掃除が容易に行える。   In the seventh invention, in particular, the cleaning nozzle body according to any one of the first to sixth inventions is made of metal, and the cleaning nozzle body is formed using, for example, a thin metal cylindrical body. In addition to ensuring strength, it is easy to process and can be easily cleaned, such as wiping off dirt.

第8の発明は、特に、第7の発明の金属を、ステンレスとするもので、洗浄ノズル体の部分に菌などの汚れを付きにくくすることができるとともに、水に濡れても錆の発生を抑えることもできる。   In the eighth invention, in particular, the metal of the seventh invention is made of stainless steel, and it is possible to make the cleaning nozzle body less susceptible to contamination such as bacteria, and also to generate rust even when wet. It can also be suppressed.

第9の発明は、特に、第1〜第8のいずれか1つの発明の洗浄ノズル体に開口を、空気混入体に吐水口を、それぞれ設け、前記開口を前記と水口よりも大きく形成したので、開口から吐水される洗浄水が開口以外の部分で阻まれるなど、その流れが乱される心配がない。   In the ninth aspect of the invention, in particular, the cleaning nozzle body according to any one of the first to eighth aspects is provided with an opening, the aeration body is provided with a water discharge port, and the opening is formed larger than the water port. There is no worry that the flow of water is disturbed, for example, the wash water discharged from the opening is blocked by a portion other than the opening.

第10の発明は、特に、第1〜第9のいずれか1つの発明の洗浄ノズル体の開口を、多角形にしたもので、洗浄水が一方向に振動しながら吐水される場合など、洗浄水の噴流形態によっては、吐水される洗浄水の流れを乱さずに済むことができる。   In the tenth aspect of the invention, in particular, the opening of the washing nozzle body according to any one of the first to ninth aspects is formed into a polygon, and the washing water is washed while vibrating in one direction. Depending on the jet form of water, it is possible to avoid disturbing the flow of the wash water discharged.

第11の発明は、特に、第1〜第10のいずれか1つの発明の空気混入体を、純流体素子で形成したもので、純流体素子から変化のある洗浄水が吐水されるので、強い洗浄力と良好な洗浄感を実現することができる。   In the eleventh aspect of the invention, in particular, the aeration body according to any one of the first to tenth aspects of the invention is formed by a pure fluid element, and since washing water having a change is discharged from the pure fluid element, it is strong. Detergency and good cleaning feeling can be realized.

第12の発明は、特に、第11の発明の空気混入体の吐水口を、前記吐水口より噴出される吐水の噴出中心角を、洗浄ノズル体の長手方向に対して垂直ではないように構成してなるもので、吐水口を洗浄ノズル体の長手方向に対し傾けて配置することで、例えば洗浄する人体局部のおしりに対して最適な角度が実現できる上、純流体素子の形状を確保しながら省スペース化が実現できる。   According to a twelfth aspect of the invention, in particular, the spout of the aeration body of the eleventh aspect of the invention is configured such that the central angle of the spout discharged from the spout is not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning nozzle body. Therefore, by arranging the water discharge port to be inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning nozzle body, for example, it is possible to realize an optimum angle with respect to the buttocks of the local body to be cleaned, and to ensure the shape of the pure fluid element. However, space saving can be realized.

That is, a front view of the aeration body main body 15a is shown. The aeration body 15a mixes the cleaning water and the air, the inflow path 27 through which the cleaning water flowing through the water flow path 12 is passed, the air hole 28 through which the air flowing through the air flow path 14 passes. The mixing part 29 and the water discharge port 16 which discharges the wash water mixed with air are provided.

図5、図6は、それぞれ洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置本体21に格納され、中に納められた状態と、洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置本体21の中央部より一部(空気取り入れ口13のある部分)を残して突き出して吐水口16もしくは開口部17が人体洗浄装置本体21から外に出た状態とを示す。   FIGS. 5 and 6 respectively show a state in which the cleaning nozzle body 11 is stored in the human body cleaning device main body 21 and is housed therein, and a part of the cleaning nozzle body 11 from the central portion of the human body cleaning device main body 21 (air intake port). 13 shows a state in which the water discharge port 16 or the opening 17 protrudes from the human body cleaning device main body 21 with the portion 13) remaining.

以上のように構成された人体洗浄手段10について、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   About the human body washing | cleaning means 10 comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below.

使用者が用を足すためにトイレ室に入室し、図2に示すような人体洗浄装置本体21が設置された便座22に着座し、用を足した後にリモコン26を用いて局部を洗浄するための操作をすると、やがて図1に示す伸縮駆動部19が稼働し、また、伸縮機構18の働きによって、図5のように人体洗浄装置本体21内に格納されていた洗浄ノズル体11が、図6のように人体洗浄装置21よりせり出し、洗浄動作可能な状態となる。   In order for the user to enter the toilet room for use, to sit on the toilet seat 22 provided with the human body cleaning device main body 21 as shown in FIG. After that, the expansion / contraction drive unit 19 shown in FIG. 1 is operated, and the cleaning nozzle body 11 stored in the human body cleaning apparatus main body 21 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the human body cleaning device 21 protrudes and the cleaning operation is possible.

本実施の形態では、洗浄ノズル体11は内部が空洞で、かつ先端部が閉じた筒形状をしたステンレス製の棒体で、ステンレス製なので水に対する耐食性に優れ、また内部が空洞で円筒形をしていることからこれを大量に生産する場合を考えても薄板を丸く巻くだけで比較的容易に加工でき、さらに拭き取るなどの掃除が楽な上に菌などの汚れも付きにくい。   In the present embodiment, the cleaning nozzle body 11 is a stainless steel rod body having a hollow inside and a closed end, and is made of stainless steel, so that it has excellent corrosion resistance against water, and the inside is hollow and has a cylindrical shape. Therefore, even when considering mass production, it can be processed relatively easily by simply rolling a thin plate, and it is easy to clean, such as wiping, and it is difficult to get dirt such as bacteria.

また、リモコン26を操作の後、洗浄ノズル体11を人体洗浄装置本体21から電動で自動的に出し入れする方法の一例としては、次のようなものが挙げられる。ラックなどの伸縮機構18と、歯車を備えたモーターなどの伸縮駆動部19とを互いに組み合わせ、モーターへの通電を制御してモーターを任意に回転させると、その回転運動は歯車を介してラックの直動運動に変換される。そして、ラックが動くことでラックに取り付けられた洗浄ノズル体11が直動する。   In addition, as an example of a method for automatically removing and inserting the cleaning nozzle body 11 from the human body cleaning apparatus main body 21 after operating the remote controller 26, the following may be mentioned. When the expansion / contraction mechanism 18 such as a rack and the expansion / contraction drive unit 19 such as a motor equipped with a gear are combined with each other and the motor is arbitrarily rotated by controlling energization to the motor, the rotational motion of the rack is transmitted via the gear. Converted to linear motion. Then, as the rack moves, the cleaning nozzle body 11 attached to the rack moves directly.

図1は、洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置本体21から伸長された状態、つまり図6のように洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置本体21から伸び出て人体の局部を洗浄可能な状態を示すのに対し、この状態で、伸縮駆動部19であるモーターが時計回りに回転を行うと、モーターに取り付けられた歯車も、時計回りに回転を行い、そしてこの歯車と歯が組合わされた伸縮機構18であるラックが図の右方向に直動し、ラックに取り付けられたステンレス製の洗浄ノズル体11も、図の右方向に駆動する。   FIG. 1 shows a state in which the cleaning nozzle body 11 is extended from the human body cleaning apparatus main body 21, that is, a state in which the cleaning nozzle body 11 extends from the human body cleaning apparatus main body 21 and can wash a local part of the human body as shown in FIG. 6. On the other hand, in this state, when the motor, which is the expansion / contraction drive unit 19, rotates clockwise, the gear attached to the motor also rotates clockwise, and the expansion / contraction mechanism in which the gear and teeth are combined. The rack 18 is linearly moved in the right direction in the figure, and the stainless steel cleaning nozzle body 11 attached to the rack is also driven in the right direction in the figure.

この結果、図5に示すように洗浄ノズル体11は人体洗浄装置本体21内に格納され、例えば使用者が便器20に用便を排泄する際などに、この洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置21から伸び出ていることで排泄の邪魔になることなどがなく良好に排泄が行える。一方、人体洗浄装置21内に格納された洗浄ノズル体11が、先に述べたようにリモコン26を操作して洗浄ノズル体11が人体洗浄装置本体21よりせり出して洗浄可能な状態となるには、図1のモーターが反時計回りに回転を行い、これに伴って歯車が反時計まわりに回ると、その結果、ラックと洗浄ノズル体11が図1の左方向に駆動してノズルが伸び出てくることになる。   As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning nozzle body 11 is stored in the human body cleaning apparatus main body 21. For example, when the user excretes stool in the toilet 20, the cleaning nozzle body 11 is used by the human body cleaning apparatus 21. It can be excreted satisfactorily without disturbing excretion. On the other hand, when the cleaning nozzle body 11 stored in the human body cleaning device 21 operates the remote controller 26 as described above, the cleaning nozzle body 11 protrudes from the human body cleaning device main body 21 and becomes ready for cleaning. When the motor 1 rotates counterclockwise and the gear rotates counterclockwise, the rack and the cleaning nozzle body 11 are driven in the left direction in FIG. 1 and the nozzle extends. It will be.

人体洗浄手段10が洗浄動作可能な状態となると、予め接続された水道管より水道水が、電磁弁(図示せず)などの働きによって人体洗浄装置本体21に導入され、その水道水は洗浄水として図1の水流路12を通って空気混入体15に流入し、一方、空気取り入れ口13より取り込まれた人体洗浄装置本体21内のきれいな空気が空気流路14を経て空気混入体15に流入する。   When the human body cleaning means 10 is ready for cleaning operation, tap water is introduced into the human body cleaning device main body 21 by a function of a solenoid valve (not shown) from a previously connected water pipe, and the tap water is washed water. 1 flows into the aeration body 15 through the water flow path 12 of FIG. 1, while clean air in the human body cleaning device main body 21 taken in from the air intake port 13 flows into the aeration body 15 through the air flow path 14. To do.

そして、この空気混入体15で洗浄水に空気が混入され、やがて、吐水口16より空気の混入された洗浄水が、洗浄ノズル体11の開口17を経て吐水される。ここで、空気混入体15に空気が取り込まれる原理について説明する。   Then, air is mixed into the cleaning water by the air mixing body 15, and the cleaning water mixed with air is discharged from the water discharge port 16 through the opening 17 of the cleaning nozzle body 11. Here, the principle that air is taken into the aeration body 15 will be described.

図4(b)において、混合部29の水流入口30、つまり洗浄水が流入路27から軍配のような形状をした混合部29に入る部分の流路は、他の流路に比べて流路幅が細くなっている。このため、ここを通り過ぎて混合部29に流入された洗浄水は、水流入口30へ流入する前に圧力の高い状態となる分、混合部29では減圧されることになり、よって混合部29の内部は負圧の状態となる。このため、空気を通す空気穴28からは大気より空気が吸入されることとなる。   In FIG. 4B, the water inlet 30 of the mixing portion 29, that is, the flow path of the portion where the washing water enters the mixing portion 29 shaped like a military arrangement from the inflow path 27, is a flow path compared to other flow paths. The width is narrow. For this reason, the wash water that has passed through the flow into the mixing section 29 is reduced in pressure by the mixing section 29 as the pressure is increased before flowing into the water inlet 30. The inside is in a negative pressure state. For this reason, air is sucked from the atmosphere through the air hole 28 through which air passes.

次に、空気混入体15から吐水される噴流の様子について説明する。図7(a)〜(d)に流入路27、混合部29、および吐水口16を流れる洗浄水の流れの様子を示す。流入路27から混合部29に流入した洗浄水は、最初、偶然的に吐水口16の左右いずれかの壁面に付着して吐水されるが、仮に洗浄水が図7(a)に示すように、右側の吐水口16の右側の壁面から吐水されるとすると、一方で一部の洗浄水は図7(b)のように、環流となって混合部29の右側の壁面に沿って流れ、再び混合部29の水流入口30に戻される。   Next, the state of the jet discharged from the aeration body 15 will be described. 7A to 7D show the state of the wash water flowing through the inflow path 27, the mixing unit 29, and the water discharge port 16. FIG. The wash water that has flowed into the mixing portion 29 from the inflow path 27 is accidentally attached to the left or right wall surface of the water discharge port 16 and discharged, but the wash water is temporarily as shown in FIG. Assuming that water is discharged from the right wall surface of the right water outlet 16, on the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), a part of the washing water flows as a flow along the right wall surface of the mixing unit 29. It is returned again to the water inlet 30 of the mixing section 29.

すると、次に流入路27から混合部29に流入した洗浄水は、上記のように右方向から戻ってくる環流の力を受けて、図7(c)のように今度は左方向に水が流され、やがて一部は吐水口16の左壁面に付着したまま吐水され、残りの洗浄水は環流となって混合部29の左側の壁面に沿って流れ、再び混合部29の水流入口30に戻される。そして、次に流入路27から混合部29に流入した洗浄水は、上記のように左方向から戻ってくる環流の力を受けて、図7(d)のように今度は右方向に洗浄水が流され、吐水口16の右側の壁面から吐水される。   Then, the wash water that has flowed into the mixing section 29 from the inflow path 27 next receives the force of the recirculation returning from the right direction as described above, and this time, the water flows in the left direction as shown in FIG. Soon, a part of the water is discharged while adhering to the left wall surface of the water discharge port 16, and the remaining washing water flows as a recirculation along the left wall surface of the mixing unit 29 and again enters the water inlet 30 of the mixing unit 29. Returned. Then, the wash water that has flowed into the mixing portion 29 from the inflow passage 27 next receives the recirculation force returning from the left direction as described above, and this time the wash water is turned rightward as shown in FIG. Is discharged, and water is discharged from the right wall surface of the water discharge port 16.

以上のように流入路27から混合部29に流入した洗浄水の流れは、変化が繰り返され、連続的に見ると、吐水口16から吐水される洗浄水は吐水口16の左右の壁面に変わるがわる付着するのを繰り返し、左右に触れながら吐水される。そして、このように吐水される噴流が左右に振れることで強い洗浄力と、良好な洗浄感とが実現できる。なおここでは、空気穴28の図示並びに空気の流れについては説明を省略したが、空気穴28から混合部29に、混合部29内の負圧の効果で空気を混入することによって、環流が空気穴28を中心にしてより確実にまわると同時に、吐水される洗浄水に空気が混入されるので、さらにマイルドでありながら、かつ十分な洗浄力と洗浄感が得られる。ここで説明した空気混入体15は、一般に純流体素子(フルイディクス)と呼ばれる。   As described above, the flow of the cleaning water flowing into the mixing unit 29 from the inflow path 27 is repeatedly changed. When viewed continuously, the cleaning water discharged from the spout 16 changes to the left and right wall surfaces of the spout 16. Repeated adherence and water is discharged while touching the left and right. And the strong detergency and favorable washing | cleaning feeling are realizable because the jet stream discharged in this way shakes right and left. Here, the illustration of the air hole 28 and the description of the air flow are omitted, but the air flows into the mixing unit 29 from the air hole 28 due to the negative pressure in the mixing unit 29, so that the reflux flows into the air. Since the air is mixed in the cleaning water discharged at the same time as turning around the hole 28 more reliably, the cleaning power and the feeling of cleaning can be obtained while being milder. The aeration body 15 described here is generally called a pure fluid element (fluidics).

このように本実施の形態では、洗浄ノズル体11の内部先端部に設けられた空気混入体15である純流体素子に空気を混入させる場合、図1のような空気流路14を用いて空気混入体15まで空気を搬送すれば、洗浄ノズル体11の先端部付近のように局部を洗浄した後の水がかかるような位置に空気を吸い込むための穴を余計に設けなくても良いことから、非常に優れた手段となる。また、これによって、後述のように洗浄水に混入する空気を便器20の中央付近の使用者に不快感を与えるような場所からではなく、使用者に不快感を与えないようなさらに上流側の場所から空気を吸い込んでこれを混入することによって、使用者に不快感を与えなくて済ませることもできる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, when air is mixed into the pure fluid element, which is the air mixing body 15 provided at the inner tip of the cleaning nozzle body 11, the air flow path 14 as shown in FIG. If air is conveyed to the contamination 15, it is not necessary to provide an additional hole for sucking air into a position where water after washing the local area is applied, such as near the tip of the washing nozzle 11. It will be a very good means. Further, as described later, the air mixed in the washing water is not from a place where the user near the center of the toilet 20 is uncomfortable, but further upstream so as not to cause the user to feel uncomfortable. By sucking air from the place and mixing it, it is possible to avoid discomfort to the user.

例えば、図6のように洗浄水に混入する空気を、洗浄ノズル体11の外部から取り込むための空気取り入れ口13を人体洗浄装置本体21内部に位置するようにすれば、便器20の中央付近の、いわゆる排泄物などの臭いのする場所、あるいは臭いの残る場所の空気ではなく、そのような場所とは人体洗浄装置21を構成する筐体の壁で隔てられた人体洗浄装置本体21内部の空気を吸い込むことができるので、局部を洗浄する洗浄水の中に含まれる空気が、そのような比較的不快な印象を与えない位置から吸い込んだ空気であることから、よりいっそう使用者に不快感を与えずに済むことができる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the air intake port 13 for taking in air mixed into the washing water from the outside of the washing nozzle body 11 is positioned inside the human body washing apparatus main body 21, The air inside the human body cleaning device main body 21 separated from the place where the odor of the so-called excrement or the odor remains or not by the wall of the casing constituting the human body cleaning device 21 Since the air contained in the washing water for washing the local area is air that has been sucked in from a position that does not give such a relatively unpleasant impression, the user is more uncomfortable. It can be done without giving.

なお、空気取り入れ口13は図1のように洗浄ノズル体11の長手方向に伸び出した形態であっても、図8のように洗浄ノズル体11の長手方向に対して空気取り入れ口13を約90°折り曲げて洗浄ノズル体11の外側面に位置させる形状であっても、また、図9のように空気取り入れ口13をさらに上流側に伸ばした状態で設けても、あるいは、この他の形状、形態であってもいずれでも良い。これらは、人体洗浄装置本体21内部の他の部品との配置位置の関係に依存して決定されることが多い。   Even if the air intake port 13 extends in the longitudinal direction of the cleaning nozzle body 11 as shown in FIG. 1, the air intake port 13 is approximately equal to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning nozzle body 11 as shown in FIG. Even if it is a shape that is bent by 90 ° and is positioned on the outer surface of the cleaning nozzle body 11, or is provided with the air intake port 13 extended further upstream as shown in FIG. Either form may be used. These are often determined depending on the arrangement position relationship with other components inside the human body cleaning device main body 21.

また、図10のように洗浄ノズル体11は、その内部空洞部分にパイプを中心部に内蔵して水流路12を設け、空気流路14は洗浄ノズル体11の筒体内部における水流路12以外の部分とすることもできる。この場合、空気取り入れ口13を洗浄ノズル体11の筒体に直接設け、空気混入体15の空気穴28を洗浄ノズル体11内部に配置すれば、空気取り入れ口13から吸い込んだ空気は、洗浄ノズル体11内部を通って空気穴28より空気混入体15に取り込まれる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the cleaning nozzle body 11 includes a pipe in the center of the internal cavity and a water flow path 12 is provided, and the air flow path 14 is other than the water flow path 12 inside the cylindrical body of the cleaning nozzle body 11. It can also be a part. In this case, if the air intake port 13 is directly provided in the cylinder of the cleaning nozzle body 11 and the air hole 28 of the aeration body 15 is disposed inside the cleaning nozzle body 11, the air sucked from the air intake port 13 is removed from the cleaning nozzle body 11. It passes through the inside of the body 11 and is taken into the aeration body 15 through the air hole 28.

この場合、空気混入体15に混入させる空気を、使用者に不快感を与えかねないような場所からは吸い込まないように、空気混入体15と洗浄ノズル体11の開口部17との間、並びに水流路12と洗浄ノズル体11背面部との間のそれぞれにシールを施しておく必要がある。   In this case, the air mixed in the aeration body 15 and the opening 17 of the cleaning nozzle body 11 are arranged so as not to be sucked from a place where the user may feel uncomfortable. It is necessary to seal each between the water flow path 12 and the back surface of the cleaning nozzle body 11.

また、上記のようなシールを施した上で、空気取り入れ口13の開口部を閉止させると、空気混入体15での洗浄水の流れを乱れさせ、空気混入体15の吐水口16から洗浄ノズル体11の開口17を経て吐水される洗浄水の噴流を、上記のように左右に振れながら吐水される噴流から、吐水口16の左右どちらかの壁面にのみ付着しながら吐水されるか、もしくは左右の壁面のほぼ中央を吐水されるかのいずれかの、いわゆる直噴流に切り換えることが可能となる。このことを利用すれば、使用者は好みに応じて洗浄水を振れる噴流と直噴流とに切り換えることができる。   Further, when the opening of the air intake port 13 is closed after the sealing as described above is performed, the flow of the cleaning water in the aeration body 15 is disturbed, and the cleaning nozzle is discharged from the water discharge port 16 of the aeration body 15. The jet of washing water discharged through the opening 17 of the body 11 is discharged from the jet discharged while swinging left and right as described above while adhering only to the left or right wall surface of the water outlet 16, or It is possible to switch to a so-called direct jet flow in which water is discharged from substantially the center of the left and right wall surfaces. If this is utilized, the user can switch between the jet flow that can shake the washing water and the direct jet flow according to preference.

また、本実施の形態では図4(b)のように洗浄ノズル体11の長手方向、つまり水流路12の長手方向に対し、吐水口16の中心線31の位置までの角度が90°よりも小さいと、図11(a)のように約90°である場合に比べ、空気混入部15の高さを小さくすることができる。これは、局部を洗浄するに際して最適な角度が選択できるのと同時に、混合部29の形状を換えずに混合部29を水平位置に対して傾けることで、空気混入体15の高さを小さくできるもので、特に一定の内径を持つステンレス製の洗浄ノズル体11内部に、この空気混入体15を納める際には、このように空気混入体15の高さを小さくできることは非常に重要なことである。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, the angle to the position of the center line 31 of the water discharge port 16 is more than 90 ° with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cleaning nozzle body 11, that is, the longitudinal direction of the water channel 12. If it is small, the height of the aeration unit 15 can be reduced as compared to the case of about 90 ° as shown in FIG. This is because an optimum angle can be selected when cleaning the local portion, and at the same time, the height of the aeration body 15 can be reduced by tilting the mixing portion 29 with respect to the horizontal position without changing the shape of the mixing portion 29. In particular, when the aeration body 15 is placed inside the stainless steel cleaning nozzle body 11 having a constant inner diameter, it is very important to be able to reduce the height of the aeration body 15 in this way. is there.

なお、この他にも図11(b)のように、必要に応じて水流路12の長手方向に対して吐水口16の中心線31の位置までの角度が90°よりも大きくしても構わない。ステンレス製の洗浄ノズル体11に純流体素子である空気混入体15を納めることで、純流体素子が菌などのヌメリなどによって汚されるのを防ぐことが可能となる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, the angle to the position of the center line 31 of the water discharge port 16 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the water channel 12 may be larger than 90 ° as necessary. Absent. By storing the aeration body 15 as a pure fluid element in the stainless steel cleaning nozzle body 11, it becomes possible to prevent the pure fluid element from being soiled by slime such as bacteria.

洗浄ノズル体11の材質としては、ステンレス製以外にも、汚れを簡単に拭き取りやすいように金属製のものに菌などの汚れが付きにくいように抗菌剤を練り込んだりコーティングをしたものなどが挙げられる。一方、混合部29や流入部27などの複雑な形状をした部分を供えた空気混入体15は、加工の便宜上、合成樹脂など金属とは別部材である方が好ましい。   As the material of the cleaning nozzle body 11, in addition to stainless steel, an antibacterial agent is kneaded or coated so that dirt such as bacteria is not easily attached to a metal object so that the dirt can be easily wiped off. It is done. On the other hand, the aeration body 15 provided with complicatedly shaped parts such as the mixing part 29 and the inflow part 27 is preferably a member different from a metal such as synthetic resin for the convenience of processing.

空気混入体15の加工方法としては、空気混入体本体15aを樹脂成形などで加工した後、別に樹脂成形して加工したカバー体15bを空気混入体本体15aにカバーをして、その後、これらを例えば超音波溶着などで接着すると比較的容易に作製できる。接着箇所は図3の実線で示す部分となる。ここで、空気混入体15の吐水口16は加工上、円形状よりも角(四角)形状の方が加工しやすいが、円形状であっても構わない。   As a processing method of the aeration body 15, after processing the aeration body body 15 a by resin molding or the like, the cover body 15 b that is separately molded and processed is covered with the aeration body body 15 a, and thereafter For example, it can be manufactured relatively easily by bonding by ultrasonic welding. An adhesion location becomes a part shown with the continuous line of FIG. Here, the water discharge port 16 of the aeration body 15 is more easily processed in a square (square) shape than in a circular shape, but may be circular.

本実施の形態では、洗浄ノズル体11の開口17と、空気混入体15の吐水口16との関係は、開口17の開口面積が吐水口16よりも大きいばかりではなく、互いの位置関係が吐水口16から噴出される洗浄水を開口17が阻害しないような位置関係であるようにする必要がある。この関係を維持できさえすれば、例えば、図12に示すように、吐水口16が円形状で、開口17が四角形などの多角形の形状をしていても問題はなく、あるいは吐水口16と開口17が共に円形状であったり、または共に多角形形状であったりしても問題はない。   In the present embodiment, the relationship between the opening 17 of the cleaning nozzle body 11 and the water discharge port 16 of the aeration body 15 is not only that the opening area of the opening 17 is larger than that of the water discharge port 16 but also the mutual positional relationship. It is necessary to make the positional relationship such that the opening 17 does not block the washing water ejected from the water port 16. As long as this relationship can be maintained, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, there is no problem even if the spout 16 has a circular shape and the opening 17 has a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle. There is no problem even if the openings 17 are both circular or polygonal.

先に述べたように、空気混入体15の吐水口16の形状を四角い口となるように加工した場合、噴流は図4(b)の左右の方向に振れて吐水されるため、洗浄ノズル体11の開口17の形状も四角形であると、開口17の開口面積を大きくしなくても噴流の形状を阻害しなくすることが。あるいは、その変わりに開口17を十分に大きな円形状の穴であっても問題はない。しかし、いずれの場合でも加工精度や組立精度を考慮に入れて、吐水口16と開口17との間にはある程度の余裕部分を設けておく必要がある。   As described above, when the shape of the water discharge port 16 of the aeration body 15 is processed to be a square port, the jet is swung in the left and right directions in FIG. If the shape of the opening 17 of the eleventh is also square, the shape of the jet can be prevented from being hindered without increasing the opening area of the opening 17. Alternatively, there is no problem even if the opening 17 is a sufficiently large circular hole. However, in any case, it is necessary to provide a certain margin between the water outlet 16 and the opening 17 in consideration of processing accuracy and assembly accuracy.

なお、本実施の形態では、人体洗浄装置本体21に設けられる洗浄水の加熱手段の形態としては、貯湯式であっても瞬間式であってもどちらでも構わない。本実施の形態で示したような純流体素子を用いれば、比較的流量に制限のある瞬間式でも良好な洗浄噴流が得られる。   In the present embodiment, the heating means for the cleaning water provided in the human body cleaning device main body 21 may be either a hot water storage type or an instantaneous type. If a pure fluid element as shown in the present embodiment is used, a good cleaning jet can be obtained even in an instantaneous type with a relatively limited flow rate.

以上のように、本発明にかかる人体洗浄手段は、例えば使用者が用便後、局部を洗浄する際に、マイルドでありながら強い洗浄力と良好な洗浄感が得られる空気混入タイプの洗浄手段に適用できる。   As described above, the human body cleaning means according to the present invention is, for example, an aerated type cleaning means that provides a strong cleaning power and a good cleaning feeling while being mild when the user cleans the local area after use. Applicable to.
