Communicating with Thereby, the water discharged from the drain port 50 of the sink 2 passes through the drain pipe 30 and is drained outside the machine. The end of the branch path 48 extending from the drain valve 44 is connected to the sink side drain trap 51.

With reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the automatic hair washing machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a mist generating device 90.
The mist generating device 90 is a device that generates mist and supplies the mist into the sink 2. The mist generating device 90 is a tank for storing hot water used for generating mist, a heater for heating hot water stored in the tank, and a tank. A thermistor for detecting the temperature of the stored hot water, an ultrasonic generator for generating mist by making the hot water mist by vibrating the hot water supplied from the tank by ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic generator Various mechanisms and devices for generating mist and supplying it to the sink 2, such as a fan for sending the mist generated by the action to the mist transport pipe 91, are provided.

The mist transport pipe 91 has one end connected to the mist generating device 90 and the other end connected to the sink 2 via the sink connecting portion 94. The mist generated in the mist generating device 90 is It is supplied into the sink 2 through the transport pipe 91.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a drain trap 92 is provided on the mist transport pipe 91.
Hereinafter, the function of the drain trap 92 and the flow of mist in the mist transport pipe 91 and the flow of backflow water (described later) flowing into the mist transport pipe 91 from the sink 2 will be described.

Since the mist transport pipe 91 is a pipe for supplying the mist generated by the mist generator 90 into the sink 2, cleaning water or the like used for cleaning in the sink 2 may flow into the mist transport pipe 91. is there. In the following description, a liquid such as washing water that has flowed from the sink 2 into the mist transport pipe 91 is referred to as “backflow water” for convenience. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the backflow water flows into the mist transport pipe 91 not a little for the reasons described later.
And when backflow water flows in into the mist generating apparatus 90 main body via the mist conveyance pipe | tube 91, while becoming a cause of failure of the mist generating apparatus 90, it becomes a cause by which supply of the smooth mist to the sink 2 is inhibited. .
Based on this, in this embodiment, a drain trap inlet pipe 93 extending downward is connected to the mist transport pipe 91. The connection portion 95 between the mist transport pipe 91 and the drain trap inlet pipe 93 is provided below the sink connection portion 94, and the backflow water flowing into the mist transport pipe 91 from the sink 2 is inclined to the mist transport pipe 91. Accordingly, it flows toward the connecting portion 95 and flows into the drain trap inlet pipe 93 at the connecting portion 95, and thus, the backflow water does not reach the mist generating device 90.

Thus, by providing the drain trap inlet pipe 93 on the mist transport pipe 91, the backflow water that has flowed into the mist generator 90 is configured not to flow into the mist generator 90, so the mist generator 90 to the sink 2. The supplied mist flows into the drain trap inlet pipe 93, and there is a possibility that smooth supply of mist is hindered.
Based on this, in the present embodiment, a drain trap 92 composed of a so-called S-shaped trap is provided below the drain trap inlet pipe 93. The drain trap 92 is formed with a liquid storage portion 96 that is bent downward in a U-shape, and backflow water flows into the liquid storage portion 96 via the drain trap inlet pipe 93. The liquid is supplied and continuously stored at a predetermined water level. The liquid stored in the liquid storage part 96 of the drain trap 92 serves as a stopper, and the mist supplied from the mist generator 90 to the sink 2 is prevented from flowing into the drain trap inlet pipe 93. This prevents the smooth supply of mist from being hindered.

Since the mist transport pipe 91 is a pipe through which the mist supplied to the sink 2 passes, drain water is generated inside due to the circulation of the mist, but the drain generated in the mist transport pipe 91 is generated. The water is also supplied to the drain trap 92 through the drain trap inlet pipe 93 in the same manner as the backflow water that has flowed into the mist transport pipe 91, thereby preventing the drain water from flowing into the mist generator 90. .
Further, the drain water generated inside the mist generator 90 with the generation of mist by the mist generator 90 is discharged from the drain water discharge pipe 97 connected to the mist generator 90 to the outside of the mist generator 90. In addition, the other end of the drain water discharge pipe 97 is connected to the drain trap inlet pipe 93. As a result, the drain water discharged from the mist generator 90 is appropriately supplied to the drain trap 92, and the liquid is more reliably stored in the drain trap 92.
As described above, in this embodiment, drain water can be treated without providing a dedicated path for draining water, a solenoid valve provided on the path, or a device for controlling the solenoid valve. Therefore, manufacturing cost can be reduced and manufacturability can be improved.

A drain trap outlet pipe 98 is connected to the outlet side of the drain trap 92.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the other end of the drain trap outlet pipe 98 is connected to the drain pipe 30 described above. In the liquid storage portion 96 of the drain trap 92, the drain trap outlet exceeds the predetermined water level. The liquid that has flowed into the pipe 98 flows out to the drain pipe 30 through the drain trap outlet pipe 98, and is discharged outside the machine through the drain pipe 30. That is, the backflow water that has flowed into the mist transport pipe 91 and the drain water that is generated due to the generation of mist by the mist generator 90 are discharged to the outside through the existing drain pipe 30. In this way, the existing facility called the drain pipe 30 of the sink 2 is used to discharge the backflow water or drain water to the outside of the machine, so compared with the case where a mechanism for newly discharging the liquid to the outside of the machine is provided. Thus, it is possible to reduce costs and improve manufacturability.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view when the sink connection portion 94 is viewed from the inside of the sink 2. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the sink connection portion 94.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, a cylindrical mist discharge pipe 101 is provided on the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2 so as to protrude toward the inside of the sink 2, and this mist discharge pipe A mist discharge port 102 is formed in the opening at the end of 101. The mist discharge pipe 101 is connected to the mist transport pipe 91 described above, and the mist supplied from the mist generating device 90 is supplied from the mist transport pipe 91 and the mist discharge port 102 via the mist discharge pipe 101. It is supplied to the inside of the sink 2.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, in this embodiment, the mist discharge port 102 is exposed toward the inside of the sink 2, and backflow water flows into the mist discharge port 102. An umbrella is not provided to prevent it. This is due to the following reason.
That is, in the present embodiment, the mist gives a treatment effect by bringing the mist containing a predetermined medicinal component into contact with the head of the person to be washed in the sink 2, and the mist having a good fragrance and warm is applied to the head. By bringing them into contact with each other, they are supplied into the sink 2 for the purpose of providing a relaxation effect. Therefore, it is considered that the above-mentioned effects can be maximized when the mist is sprayed directly from the mist discharge port 102 onto the head of the person being washed while maintaining a certain level of warmth.
When the umbrella portion is provided at a position corresponding to the mist discharge port 102, it is possible to prevent the backflow water from flowing into the mist discharge port 102, but the head portion of the person to be washed from the mist discharge port 102 by the umbrella portion. In contrast, the mist is prevented from being directly sprayed, and the mist bypasses the umbrella part and is sprayed on the head of the person to be washed, which may reduce the temperature of the mist due to this bypass. was there.
In consideration of the above, in the present embodiment, the mist discharge port 102 is exposed in the sink 2, and the mist can be directly injected from the mist discharge port 102 to the head housed in the sink 2. As a result, treatment effects, relaxation effects, and the like are effectively produced.
If the umbrella portion is not provided at the position corresponding to the mist discharge port 102, the backflow water will probably flow into the mist discharge port 102. The backflow water is reliably prevented from flowing into 90, and the smooth supply of mist is prevented from being hindered.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mist is ejected from the “tubular” mist discharge pipe 101. Therefore, the mist is jetted to the head with a certain degree of directivity, and the above-described treatment effect and relaxation effect can be further generated.
In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mist discharge port 102 is provided at the lower center of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2, and the mist-like mist having the property of rising in the air is preferably in a supine posture. Can be spread over the entire head of the hair-washed person. That is, when the mist is ejected from the mist discharge port 102 provided in the lower center of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2 to the vicinity of the back of the hair wash person in the supine posture, the mist rises and follows the shape of the head. And spread all over the head.
Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, during the automatic hair washing, in the sink 2, the back head of the person to be washed is supported by the head support net 70 (see also FIGS. 2 and 4). In this case, however, the hair hangs vertically downward from the head support net 70. Based on this, since the mist discharge port 102 is provided at the center lower part of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2, the mist can be sprayed from the side of the hair that hangs vertically downward, and is suitable for the entire region of the hair including the hanging hair. Can spread mist.

Thereby, when the mist discharge tube 101 is rotated, the orientation of the rotated mist discharge tube 101 is maintained by the frictional force accompanying the contact between the positioning portion 125 and the positioning portion storage space 131.

Thus, in the present embodiment, the orientation of the mist discharge pipe 101 can be changed within a predetermined range, and the changed orientation of the mist discharge pipe 101 is maintained after the change. Thereby, the following effects are produced.
That is, the size and shape of the head varies from person to person. Accordingly, the optimum direction of the mist discharge port 102 formed in the mist discharge pipe 101 differs depending on the person. Then, by making it possible to change the direction of the mist discharge tube 101 within a predetermined range, the direction of the mist discharge port 102 can be optimized according to the person to be washed. In particular, in this embodiment, since the orientation of the mist discharge port 102 of the mist discharge pipe 101 can be changed by a very simple operation of gripping and rotating the mist discharge pipe 101, the workability is good, and Since the work can be done in a short time, the convenience of the user and the user can be improved.

As described above, the automatic hair washing machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the sink 2 that stores the head of the person to be washed, and the upper nozzle link 11 that jets the cleaning water toward the head stored in the sink 2. A lower nozzle link 12. The automatic hair washing machine 1 includes a mist generating device 90 that generates mist, and a mist transport pipe 91 that introduces the mist generated by the mist generating device 90 into the sink 2. A drain trap 92 is provided in the mist transport pipe 91 after exposing the mist discharge port 102 formed at the end of the transport pipe 91.
According to this, since the mist discharge port 102 is exposed in the sink 2, the mist can be directly injected from the mist discharge port 102 to the head housed in the sink 2, and the treatment effect, the relaxation effect, etc. Will not be reduced. Since the mist discharge port 102 is exposed, the backflow water flows from the mist discharge port 102 into the mist transport pipe 91, but the backflow water that flows into the mist transport pipe 91 by the function of the drain trap 92. Is prevented from flowing into the mist generator 90, and a smooth supply of mist can be realized.

In the present embodiment, the mist discharge port 102 is exposed in the sink 2 so that mist can be ejected toward the head housed in the sink 2.
More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mist discharge port 102 is provided in the lower center portion of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2 with its opening exposed.
Thereby, the mist-like mist which has the property to rise in the air can be suitably distributed over the entire region of the head of the hair-washed person in a supine posture. That is, when the mist is ejected from the mist discharge port 102 provided in the lower center of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2 to the vicinity of the back of the hair wash person in the supine posture, the mist rises and follows the shape of the head. And spread all over the head.
Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, in the sink 2, the back head of the person to be washed is supported by the head support net 70 (see also FIGS. 2 and 4). The hair hangs vertically downward from the head support net 70. Since the mist discharge port 102 is provided at the lower center of the rear side surface 100 of the sink 2, the mist can be sprayed from the side of the hair that hangs vertically downward to the entire region of the hair that hangs down. Mist can be suitably distributed over the entire area.

In the present embodiment, the direction of the mist discharge port 102 can be changed.
Here, the size and shape of the head vary from person to person. Accordingly, the optimum direction of the mist discharge port 102 formed in the mist discharge pipe 101 differs depending on the person. Then, by making it possible to change the direction of the mist discharge tube 101 within a predetermined range, the direction of the mist discharge port 102 can be optimized according to the person to be washed. In particular, in this embodiment, since the orientation of the mist discharge port 102 of the mist discharge pipe 101 can be changed by a very simple operation of gripping and rotating the mist discharge pipe 101, the workability is good, and Since the work can be done in a short time, the convenience of the user and the user can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the drain water generated inside the mist generating device 90 as the mist is generated by the mist generating device 90 is discharged from the drain water discharge pipe 97 connected to the mist generating device 90. Further, the other end of the drain water discharge pipe 97 is connected to the drain trap inlet pipe 93. As a result, the drain water discharged from the mist generator 90 is appropriately supplied to the drain trap 92, and the liquid is more reliably stored in the drain trap 92.

In the present embodiment, the outlet side of the drain trap 92 is connected to the drain pipe 30 of the sink 2.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the other end of the drain trap outlet pipe 98 is connected to the drain pipe 30, and exceeds the predetermined water level in the liquid storage portion 96 of the drain trap 92. The liquid that has flowed into the pipe 98 flows out to the drain pipe 30 through the drain trap outlet pipe 98, and is discharged outside the machine through the drain pipe 30. That is, the backflow water that has flowed into the mist transport pipe 91 and the drain water that is generated due to the generation of mist by the mist generator 90 are discharged to the outside through the existing drain pipe 30. In this way, the existing facility called the drain pipe 30 of the sink 2 is used to discharge the backflow water or drain water to the outside of the machine, so compared with the case where a mechanism for newly discharging the liquid to the outside of the machine is provided. Thus, it is possible to reduce costs and improve manufacturability.

The above-described embodiment is merely an aspect of the present invention, and can be arbitrarily modified and applied within the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the automatic hair washer 1 includes the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12, and these cooperate with each other. However, the number and shape of the nozzle links are the same as those in the embodiment. It is not limited.
