  A drain port 50 for discharging water into the sink 2 is formed on the bottom surface of the sink 2, and the drain port 50 is connected to a sink side drain trap 51 for preventing a reverse flow of sewage odor. To the drain pipe 30. 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.

Here, the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 are both configured to be cantilevered and can be repeatedly moved synchronously.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 4B, the upper nozzle link 11 starts rotating in the direction of arrow C around the rotation axis A, and rotates from the top position T1 shown in FIG. 4B. Thus, it is possible to repeatedly move to the occipital position T2, and then reversely rotate in the direction of arrow E and return to the top position T1. Here, when the upper nozzle link 11 is at the head top position T1, washing water is sprayed from each of the nozzles formed on the upper nozzle link 11 in the direction of the arrow Y1, thereby washing near the top of the head of the person being washed. Water will be jetted. In addition, when the upper nozzle link 11 is at the occipital position T2, cleaning water is jetted from each of the nozzles formed on the upper nozzle link 11 in the direction of the arrow Y2. It will be injected.

  On the other hand, the lower nozzle link 12 starts to rotate in the direction of arrow D about the rotation axis B, rotates from the hair position T3 shown in FIG. 4B, reaches the neck position T4, and from there to the direction of arrow F It is possible to repeatedly move back to the hair position T3. Here, when the lower nozzle link 12 is at the hair position T3, the cleaning water is jetted from the respective nozzles formed on the lower nozzle link 12 in the direction of the arrow Y3, and the washing water is jetted to the hair drooped by the user. Will be. Further, when the lower nozzle link 12 is at the neck position T4, cleaning water is sprayed in the direction of the arrow Y4 from each of the nozzles formed on the lower nozzle link 12, and the cleaning water is sprayed near the neck of the person to be washed. Will be.

In the present embodiment, the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 move in the same direction synchronously as follows by a drive mechanism (not shown).
That is, referring to FIG. 4B, when the upper nozzle link 11 is located at the top position T1, the lower nozzle link 12 is located at the hair position T3. Then, assuming that the upper nozzle link 11 is located at the top position T1 and the lower nozzle link 12 is located at the hair position T3, when the upper nozzle link 11 starts to rotate in the direction of arrow C, the lower nozzle link 12 is also synchronized. Then, rotation starts in the direction of arrow D, and when the upper nozzle link 11 reaches the occipital position T2, the lower nozzle link 12 reaches the neck position T4 substantially simultaneously. Furthermore, after the upper nozzle link 11 reaches the occipital position T2 and the lower nozzle link 12 reaches the neck position T4, each of these nozzle links is reversed and moved. That is, assuming that the upper nozzle link 11 is at the occipital position T2 and the lower nozzle link 12 is at the neck position T4, when the upper nozzle link 11 starts rotating in the direction opposite to the arrow C, the lower nozzle link 12 is also synchronized with the arrow. The rotation starts in the direction opposite to D, and when the upper nozzle link 11 reaches the top position T1, the lower nozzle link 12 reaches the hair position T3 at the same time.

Here, for example, the upper nozzle link 11 moves in the same direction as the hair grows while spraying the cleaning water, while the lower nozzle link 12 moves in the opposite direction to the hair grows while spraying the cleaning water, etc. When the movement directions of the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 with respect to the direction in which the hair grows are different, the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 each have their hair washed from different directions with respect to the direction in which the hair grows. The cleaning water will be sprayed on the person's head and hair, which may cause the hair to become tangled.
However, as described above, since the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 are configured to move in the same direction synchronously, each of the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 with respect to the hair growth direction. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the moving directions always coincide and the hair gets tangled.
In this embodiment, under the control of the control unit 89, the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 move at different speeds while being synchronized, temporarily stop after moving within a certain range, It is possible to move complexly, such as repetitively moving the range.

With reference to FIG.3, FIG4 and FIG.5, the mist generator 90 is connected to the automatic hair washing machine 1 which concerns on this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5, the mist generating device 90 is a device that generates mist and supplies the mist into the sink 2, and a mist tank 90 a for storing hot water used for generating mist, and the mist tank 90 a. A mist generating unit 90b that generates mist from the hot water supplied from.
The mist tank 90a is provided with a heater 90c for heating the hot water stored in the mist tank 90a, and a mist thermistor 90d for detecting the temperature of the hot water stored in the mist tank 90a. It has been.
The mist generator 90b includes an ultrasonic generator 90f that generates hot water in a mist by vibrating the hot water supplied from the mist tank 90a by ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic generator 90f. The fan 90g for sending out the mist generated by the action to the mist transport pipe 91 is 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 (FIGS. 3 to 5). The generated mist is supplied into the sink 2 through the mist transport pipe 91.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, 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 a mist transport pipe 91, and the mist supplied from the mist generating device 90 is sinked from the mist transport pipe 91 and the mist discharge port 102 via the mist discharge pipe 101. Supplied to the inside of the.
In the present embodiment, the mist generator 90, the mist discharge port 102, and the mist transport pipe 91 cooperate to function as a mist spray unit that sprays mist into the sealed space 8b.

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.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the mist discharge port 102 is exposed toward the inside of the sink 2, and no umbrella portion is provided to prevent backflow water from flowing into the mist discharge port 102. . 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.

This switch is operated when starting the operation or when instructing the start of one operation process. When the start / stop instruction switch 145 is operated, the operation related to the driving course or one operation is performed. Execution of the operation related to the process is started. The start / stop instruction switch 145 is a switch that is operated to temporarily stop the operation during the execution of the operation related to the driving course or the operation related to one operation stroke. When the start / stop instruction switch 145 is operated during the operation, the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 is temporarily interrupted. When the start / stop instruction switch 145 is operated again, the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 Resumes.

  Then, after the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 are turned on, any driving course is selected from the plurality of luck courses and the execution of the driving course is started. The operations of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generator 90 will be described with reference to flowcharts.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the above operation.
First, the user turns on the power of the mist generator 90 (step SA1) and turns on the automatic hair washer 1 (step SA2).
As described above, in the present embodiment, the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 are separate devices, and power is supplied from different power sources to the respective devices. The device is individually turned on.
In addition, by making the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generator 90 into separate devices, the function can be obtained by connecting the mist generator 90 to the automatic hair washer 1 that requires a function of spraying mist. On the other hand, by not connecting the mist generating device 90 to the automatic hair washing machine 1 that does not require the function, the function can be prevented from being added. Since the mechanism that generates mist tends to be a relatively large mechanism, the above configuration can prevent the automatic hair washing machine 1 that does not require the function from becoming unnecessarily large.
Of course, the mist generating mechanism for generating mist may be miniaturized and incorporated in the automatic hair washer 1.

  When the automatic shampoo machine 1 is turned on, the control unit 89 of the automatic shampoo machine 1 communicates with the mist generating device control unit 110 of the mist generating device 90 based on a predetermined protocol, and each part of the mist generating device 90 The information regarding the state of is acquired (step SA3). Here, the information regarding the state of each part of the mist generating device 90 is specifically a state in which the mist generating device 90 generates mist normally and can supply the generated mist to the sink 2 of the automatic hair washing machine 1 normally. Information indicating whether or not the mist can be normally supplied, and information indicating why the mist cannot be normally supplied when the mist cannot be normally supplied. Examples of cases where the mist cannot be normally supplied include, for example, when the power of the mist generator 90 is not turned on or when water is not stored in the mist tank 90a. There are cases where an error has occurred in the device.

Next, an instruction to select one of the driving courses as the driving course to be executed is input to the control unit 89 (step SA4). As described above, the user selects a driving course to be executed by operating any one of the full course switch 130, the powerful course switch 134, the scalp care switch 138, and the hair care switch 139 on the operation panel 60.
In the present embodiment, the full course and the powerful course do not include the operation of injecting mist, while the scalp care course, the hair care course I, and the hair care course II are injecting mist. The action to be included is included. Based on this, in the following description, the scalp care course, the hair care course I, and the hair care course II will be conceptually referred to as “mist-linked course”.

Next, the control unit 89 determines whether or not the driving course input in step SA4 is a mist-linked course (= scalp care course, hair care course I, or hair care course II) (step SA5).
When the driving course input in step SA4 is not a mist-linked course (step SA5: NO), the control unit 89 shifts the processing procedure to step SA9.

When the driving course input in step SA4 is a mist-linked course (step SA5: YES), the control unit 89 causes the mist generating device 90 to the automatic hair washer 1 based on the information acquired in step SA3. It is determined whether or not the mist can be normally supplied (step SA6).
If the mist generating device 90 is not in a state where mist can be normally supplied to the automatic hair washing machine 1 (step SA6: NO), the control unit 89 notifies that (step SA7).
For example, the control unit 89 performs a predetermined display indicating that some error has occurred in the mist generating device 90 on the set temperature display panel 126, so that the mist generating device 90 cannot normally supply mist. Inform the user that there is. In this case, the user can recognize that an error has occurred in the mist generating device 90 by referring to the display content of the set temperature display panel 126, and based on this recognition, a countermeasure for eliminating the error (For example, when the power of the mist generator 90 is not turned on, a measure such as turning on the power) can be performed.
On the other hand, in step SA6, when the mist generating apparatus 90 is in a state where mist can be normally supplied to the automatic hair washing machine 1 (step SA6: YES), the control unit 89 displays the input information indicating the driving course as mist. The data is output to the generator 90 (step SA8), and the processing procedure is shifted to step SA9.

In step SA9, the control unit 89 determines whether or not the driving course input in step SA4 is a mist-linked course (step SA10).
If the driving course input in step SA4 is a mist-linked course (step SA10: YES), the control unit 89 generates mist information indicating the driving start using the start / stop instruction switch 145 as a trigger. The data is transmitted to the apparatus 90 (step SA11), and the processing procedure is moved to step SA12.
On the other hand, when the driving course input in step SA4 is not a mist-linked course (step SA10: NO), the control unit 89 moves the processing procedure to step SA12.

In step SA12, the control unit 89 starts executing the driving course input in step SA4.
Next, the control unit 89 determines whether or not the driving course input in step SA4 is a mist-linked course (step SA13).
When the driving course input at step SA4 is a mist-linked course, that is, when the driving course input at step SA4 corresponds to one of the scalp care course, hair care course I, and hair care course II ( (Step SA13: YES), the control unit 89 controls each part of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 in accordance with the corresponding driving course in cooperation with the mist generating device control unit 110. The driving course is executed (step SA14). The operation in step SA14 will be described in detail.
On the other hand, when the driving course input at step SA4 is not a mist-linked course, that is, when the driving course input at step SA4 is either a full course or a powerful course (step SA13: NO), The control unit 89 controls each part of the automatic hair washer 1 according to the corresponding driving course and executes the driving course (step SA15). Details of the operation in step SA15 are omitted.

  Next, details of operations of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 during execution of the scalp care course will be described with reference to flowcharts.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing operations of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 during execution of the scalp care course.
In this scalp care course, the first operation process and the last operation process in the series of operation processes are mist processes involving mist spraying. The effect of this will be described later.
Referring to FIG. 9, first, the execution of the scalp care course is started (step SB1).
The start of the execution of the scalp care course is performed by operating the scalp care switch 138 so that the scalp care course is selected as the driving course to be executed and the head of the hair-washed person is accommodated in the sink 2. The operation is triggered by the operation of the start / stop instruction switch 145 after the cover 8 is closed.
As described above, when the cover 8 is closed in a state where the head of the person to be washed is housed in the sink 2, the head notch 8a is closed by the head, and the sink 2, the cover 8, A sealed space 8b (FIG. 4) that is substantially sealed is formed in the space surrounded by, and the head extends into the sealed space 8b.

Next, the control unit 89 starts a mist process (step SB2). That is, in the scalp care course, the mist stroke accompanied by the mist spraying is the first operation stroke. In other words, in the scalp care course, a mist process is performed prior to a shampoo process and a rinsing process (process involving injection of cleaning water), which will be described later.
Here, the mist process will be described in detail.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 during the mist process.
Referring to FIG. 10, when the mist stroke is started (step SC1), the control unit 89 controls the main pump 32 via the inverter 64, and the cleaning water is discharged from each nozzle link with a very weak injection pressure. Is injected (step SC2). This washing water injection is continuously performed while the mist is sprayed. Here, the very weak injection pressure is an injection pressure such that the cleaning water injected from each nozzle link does not reach the head accommodated in the sink 2. Further, the temperature of the water stored in the hot water storage tank 25 is controlled by controlling the mixing valve 15 so that the temperature of the cleaning water sprayed from each nozzle link becomes relatively high.
The operation of this step SC2 aims at the following.
That is, at the start of the scalp care course, the temperature of the sealed space 8b surrounded by the sink 2 and the cover 8 may be low, or the surface temperature of the sink 2 or the cover 8 on the side of the sealed space 8b is low. There is also. When the temperature of the sealed space 8b and the surface temperature of the sink 2 and the cover 8 are low, when the sealed space 8b is filled with mist, the temperature of the mist is lowered, and the treatment effect and relaxation effect by the mist. May be reduced. Based on this, the operation of step SC2 is intended to increase the temperature of the sealed space 8b and the surface temperature of the sink 2 and the cover 8 before supplying mist to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2.

  After the process of step SC2, control unit 89 outputs a mist spray processing command to mist generator control unit 110 (step SC3). The mist spray processing command is a command for instructing the mist generating device control unit 110 to start execution of a series of processing related to the supply of mist to the automatic hair washing machine 1, such as mist spray preparation processing (described later).

The mist generating device control unit 110 to which the mist spraying processing instruction is input controls each part of the mist generating device 90 and executes a mist spray preparing process (step SC4).
Specifically, the mist generator control unit 110 heats the water stored in the mist tank 90a by driving the heater 90c. When detecting that the temperature of the water stored in the mist tank 90a has reached a predetermined temperature (for example, 75 ° C.) based on the detection value input from the mist thermistor 90d, a mist generator control unit 110 stops the driving of the heater 90c. A series of operations until the water stored in the mist tank 90a reaches a predetermined temperature corresponds to the mist spray preparation process.
In addition, the temperature range of the mist that can effectively exhibit the treatment effect and the relaxation effect is known, and the predetermined temperature described above is set so that the temperature of the mist supplied into the sink 2 falls within the temperature range. Set to an appropriate value.

During the execution of the mist spray preparation process in step SC4, the mist generator control unit 110 monitors whether or not the mist spray preparation process has been completed (step SC5).
When the mist spray preparation process is completed (step SC5: YES), the mist generator controller 110 starts mist injection into the sealed space 8b in the sink 2 (step SC6).
Specifically, the mist generating device controller 110 drives the ultrasonic generating device 90f to vibrate the water supplied from the mist tank 90a to the ultrasonic generating device 90f with ultrasonic waves. By generating the mist and driving the fan 90g, the mist generated by the ultrasonic generator 90f is sent to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2 through the mist transport pipe 91. As a result, mist is supplied from the mist discharge port 102 to the inside of the sink 2 via the mist transport pipe 91 and the mist discharge pipe 101.

Simultaneously with the start of mist injection in step SC6, control unit 89 counts down the time until a predetermined time is completed as the time for executing the mist stroke. That is, the control unit 89 measures the remaining time until the mist process is completed (step SC7).
In addition, the predetermined time as the time to perform the mist process is appropriately set according to the relationship between the treatment effect by injecting the mist and the degree of achievement of the relaxation effect and the time to inject the mist. In particular, in this embodiment, it is assumed that it is at least 30 seconds or longer.

Next, the control unit 89 monitors whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the mist generating device 90 so that the mist spray cannot be continued (step SC8), and monitors whether or not the remaining time has reached 30 seconds. (Step SC9).
In addition, the control unit 89 detects whether or not an abnormality has occurred so that the mist spraying cannot be continued as follows. That is, the mist generator control unit 110 constantly monitors the state (temperature and amount) of the water stored in the mist tank 90a, the operating state of the ultrasonic generator 90f, etc., and the mist spraying continues to be executed. When an abnormality that cannot be performed occurs (for example, an abnormal increase in the temperature of water stored in the mist tank 90a, an abnormal operation of the ultrasonic generator 90f, or the like), this can be detected. When the mist generating device control unit 110 detects that an abnormality has occurred such that the mist spraying cannot be continued, the mist generating device control unit 110 outputs a signal to that effect to the control unit 89. Based on the signal input from mist generator control unit 110, control unit 89 detects that an abnormality has occurred that prevents the mist spraying from continuing.

During the monitoring in step SC8 and step SC9, when an abnormality that prevents the mist spraying from being continued in the mist generating device 90 occurs (step SC8: YES), the control unit 89 ends the mist process (step ST8). SC11). After the end of the mist process, a break-in process is executed (see FIG. 9).
In addition, you may make it alert | report to a user that abnormality which cannot perform execution of mist spraying occurred.
Thus, in this embodiment, when an abnormality that prevents the mist generating device 90 from continuing to perform the mist spraying occurs during the mist spraying, the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 is not stopped. The process related to the spraying of mist is omitted, and the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 is continued. This is because mist spraying is an additional function compared to the shampooing process and conditioning process described later, and even when mist spraying is not performed, the degree of satisfaction of the hair wash is relatively high. The operation of the automatic hair washer 1 is continuously executed after the mist spraying is omitted, thereby ensuring smooth execution of the driving course and increasing the convenience of the user. It has improved.
In addition, when abnormality has arisen in the mist generating apparatus 90, you may make it stop operation | movement of the automatic hair washing machine 1 temporarily.

In step SC9, when the remaining time reaches 30 seconds (step SC9: YES), control unit 89 executes a massage operation (step SC12).
This massage operation is an operation performed for the purpose of giving a certain massage effect to the hair-washed person. For example, the control unit 89 controls various valves and the like, and ejects washing water from the parietal massage nozzle 150, the right temporal massage nozzle 151, and the left temporal massage nozzle 152, and is applied to the parietal portion and the right temporal region. Spray cleaning water. Here, the washing water to be sprayed is warm water. Thus, a massage effect can be effectively acquired by spraying warm water intensively with respect to a head part and a temporal region of a to-be-washed person.
In addition, when injecting the cleaning water from each nozzle, the cleaning water may be intermittently injected or may be injected while changing the strength of the injection pressure. By performing these operations, it can be expected to obtain a higher massage effect.

Next, the control unit 89 monitors whether or not the mist generating device 90 has an abnormality that prevents the mist spraying from continuing (step SC13), and the remaining time has expired (remaining time = 0 seconds). Is monitored (step SC14).
In step SC13, when an abnormality has occurred in the mist generating device 90 so that the mist spray cannot be continued (step SC13: YES), the control unit 89 ends the mist process (step SC11).
On the other hand, when the remaining time runs out (step SC14: YES), the control unit 89 controls the inverter 64 and each valve to stop the massage operation, and further cooperates with the mist generator control unit 110. The mist spraying is stopped (step SC15), thereby completing the execution of the mist stroke (step SC11).

Thus, in this embodiment, after the remaining time reaches 30 seconds, spraying of mist and jetting of washing water from each nozzle link accompanying the massage operation are performed in parallel.
In this operation, the head extends to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2, the cleaning water is sprayed from each nozzle link to the head in the sealed space 8b, and mist is sprayed in the sealed space 8b. This is possible because of the configuration. And when spraying mist and jetting of washing water from the nozzle link accompanying massage operation at the same time, the relaxation effect by mist, treatment effect, and massage effect by massage operation are given to the person being washed. These effects can be given simultaneously, and the achievement of these effects can be increased synergistically.
Further, when the mist is sprayed on the head of the person to be washed, it is known that there is an effect of opening the pores of the head, but in this embodiment, for the opening of the pores of the head by the mist and the massage operation The accompanying washing water can be sprayed onto the head at the same time, and the massage effect can be further enhanced.

In the scalp care course, the mist process is executed prior to the shampoo process described later. Thereby, the following effects can be produced.
That is, as described above, it is known that when mist is sprayed on the head of a person to be washed, there is an effect of opening the pores of the head. Then, the mist process is performed prior to the shampoo process, and the pores in the head are opened in this process, so that in the subsequent shampoo process, the detergency of the sebum dirt on the pores by the injection of cleaning water containing the shampoo liquid. Can be improved.
Furthermore, although the relaxation effect can be given to the hair-washed person by spraying the mist, by giving this hair-washing effect to the hair-washed person in the first half of the scalp care course, the hair-washed person can be given throughout the scalp care course. You can relax.

Now, referring to FIG. 9 described above, after the mist process in step SB2 is completed, the control unit 89 executes a break-in process (step SB3).
This running-in process is an operation process aimed at getting the hair-washed person to get used to the washing water being sprayed on the head and relaxing the hair-washed person.
In the running-in process, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a very moderate speed while injecting cleaning water with a relatively low injection pressure. As a result, it is possible to give the hair-washed person a sense of being stroked slowly by hand, and to give the hair-washed person a sense of security. Furthermore, in the running-in process, which is the process immediately after the scalp care course is started, the washing water is sprayed while moving each nozzle link at such a slow speed, so that the machine is not surprised. The feeling that the hair is being washed in can be wiped out and a high-class feeling can be given. Further, for example, the control unit 89 controls the neck nozzle valve 74 and the like, and causes the washing water to be sprayed from the neck nozzle link 80 to the neck of the person to be washed. Here, the washing water to be sprayed is warm water. Thus, by spraying warm water on the neck of the person to be washed, the blood flow at the neck is improved, the tension of the entire head is released, and the massage effect can be improved.

Next, the control unit 89 executes a weak cleaning process (step SB4).
In this weak washing process, before the first shampooing process, which is the next operation process, dirt that adheres to the hair is washed with washing water that does not contain shampoo liquid or conditioner liquid (hereinafter referred to as “rinse water” as appropriate). This is an operation process for flowing to some extent.
In this weak cleaning process, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while spraying the cleaning water with a relatively high spray pressure, thereby causing the head and hair to move. The rinsing water is sprayed over the entire area of the water, thereby causing a certain amount of dirt attached to the head to flow.

Next, the control unit 89 executes the first shampoo process (step SB5).
This first shampooing step is a step of washing the hair of the person to be washed with washing water containing a shampoo solution (hereinafter referred to as “shampoo washing water” as appropriate). The control unit 89 controls the shampoo pump 38 and mixes the shampoo liquid with the cleaning water to generate the shampoo cleaning water.
In the first shampoo stroke, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while injecting shampoo washing water with a somewhat strong injection pressure, thereby allowing the head and The shampoo washing water is sprayed over the entire area of the hair, thereby spreading the shampoo washing water over the entire area of the head and washing the entire area of the head.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 move at different speeds while being synchronized, temporarily move after moving within a certain range, or set a predetermined range. Since complicated movements such as repeated movements are possible, shampoo washing water can be sprayed intensively on a predetermined part of the head by using this, or each nozzle link can be moved within a predetermined range. By moving the head back and forth, the head can be washed efficiently while improving the efficiency of washing the head, increasing the washing effect of the head, and improving the massage effect. May be. The same applies to other operation strokes involving the injection of cleaning water.

Next, the control unit 89 executes the first rinsing process (step SB6).
The first rinsing process is an operation process for rinsing shampoo washing water sprayed on the head in the first shampoo process and remaining on the head and hair.
In the first rinsing process, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while injecting the rinsing water with a relatively high injection pressure, thereby allowing the head and hair to move. Rinsing water is sprayed over the entire area of the shampoo, thereby rinsing shampoo washing water remaining on the head and hair.

Next, the control unit 89 executes the second shampoo process (step SB7).
In this second shampooing process, the head that has been cleaned to some extent after the first shampooing process and the second rinsing process is washed again to perform washing of the head more reliably. This is the target operation process.
In the second shampoo stroke, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while injecting the shampoo washing water with a somewhat strong injection pressure, thereby allowing the head and The shampoo washing water is sprayed over the entire area of the hair, thereby spreading the shampoo washing water over the entire area of the head and washing the entire area of the head.

Next, the control unit 89 executes a finish rinsing process (step SB8).
This finishing rinsing process is an operation process for rinsing shampoo washing water sprayed on the head in the second shampoo process and remaining on the head and hair.
In the final rinsing process, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while injecting the rinsing water with a relatively high injection pressure, thereby causing the head and hair to move. Rinsing water is sprayed over the entire area, thereby rinsing shampoo washing water remaining on the head and hair.

Next, the control unit 89 executes a massage process (step SB9).
This massage operation is an operation performed for the purpose of giving a certain massage effect to the hair-washed person. For example, the control unit 89 controls various valves and the like, and ejects washing water from the parietal massage nozzle 150, the right temporal massage nozzle 151, and the left temporal massage nozzle 152, and is applied to the parietal portion and the right temporal region. Spray cleaning water. Here, the washing water to be sprayed is warm water. Thus, a massage effect can be effectively acquired by spraying warm water intensively with respect to a head part and a temporal region of a to-be-washed person.
In addition, when injecting the cleaning water from each nozzle, the cleaning water may be intermittently injected or may be injected while changing the strength of the injection pressure. By performing these operations, it can be expected to obtain a higher massage effect.

  Next, the control unit 89 starts spraying mist in cooperation with the mist generator control unit 110 (step SB10).

Next, the control unit 89 executes a conditioning process (step SB11).
This conditioning process is a process for performing so-called conditioning by injecting cleaning water containing a conditioner liquid (hereinafter referred to as “conditioner cleaning water” as appropriate) to the head and hair of the person to be washed.
In the conditioning process, for example, the control unit 89 moves the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 at a relatively high speed while injecting the conditioner washing water with a somewhat strong injection pressure, thereby causing the head and hair to move. Conditioner wash water is sprayed over the entire area, thereby spreading the conditioner wash water over the entire head area to condition the entire head area.

In step SB10, since the mist spraying is started, this conditioning process is executed simultaneously with the mist spraying.
Here, it is known that when the mist is sprayed on the head of the person to be washed, the hair cuticle has an effect of opening. In the present embodiment, since the mist spraying and the conditioning process are performed simultaneously, the opening of the cuticle by the mist and the injection of the conditioner washing water onto the head can be performed simultaneously. The effect by can be improved.
In this embodiment, the head extends to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2, and the cleaning water is sprayed from each nozzle link to the head in the sealed space 8b. It is possible to execute the mist spraying and the conditioning process at the same time because it is configured to spray.

Next, the control unit 89 executes a final rinsing process (step SB12).
This final rinsing process is an operation process for lightly rinsing the conditioner washing water sprayed on the head in the conditioning process and remaining on the head and hair.
In the final rinsing process, for example, the control unit 89 rinses the entire region of the head and hair by moving the upper nozzle link 11 and the lower nozzle link 12 while rinsing water with a relatively low spray pressure. Spray the water, which will lightly rinse off the conditioner wash water remaining on the head and hair.

In step SB10, since the mist spraying is started, this final rinsing process is executed concurrently with the mist spraying.
Here, as described above, when the mist is sprayed, the person to be washed can be relaxed, but during the final rinsing process, by performing the mist spraying, the person to be washed is relaxed and the final rinse is performed. The process can be executed. In this embodiment, the head extends to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2, and the cleaning water is sprayed from each nozzle link to the head in the sealed space 8b. It is possible to execute the mist spraying and the final rinsing process simultaneously in parallel because of the configuration of spraying.

  Next, the control unit 89 stops spraying mist (step SB13) and ends the execution of the scalp care course (step SB14).

Thus, in the scalp care course, mist injection is also performed at the end of the operation stroke. Thereby, the following effects can be produced.
In other words, the mist spray can give the hair wash a relaxation effect, but by spraying the mist in the second half of the scalp care course, the hair wash person who has finished the scalp care course can be relaxed, It can relieve fatigue.

  Next, details of operations of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 during the execution of the hair care course I or the hair care course II will be described with reference to flowcharts.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing operations of the automatic hair washer 1 and the mist generating device 90 during execution of the hair care course I or the hair care course II.
Referring to FIG. 11, first, execution of hair care course I or hair care course II is started (step SD1).
The start of the execution of the hair care course I or the hair care course II is performed by operating the hair care switch 139 so that the hair care course I or the hair care course II is selected as the driving course to be executed and the sink 2 The operation is triggered by the operation of the start / stop instruction switch 145 after the cover 8 is closed with the head of the person to be washed being accommodated.
As described above, when the cover 8 is closed in a state where the head of the person to be washed is housed in the sink 2, the head notch 8a is closed by the head, and the sink 2, the cover 8, A sealed space 8b (FIG. 4) that is substantially sealed is formed in the space surrounded by, and the head extends into the sealed space 8b.

Next, the control unit 89 performs a break-in process (step SD2), a weak cleaning process (step SD3), a first shampoo process (step SD4), a first rinse process (step SD5), a second shampoo process (step SD6), and Each operation process of the finish rinsing process (step SD7) is executed.
Next, the control unit 89 executes each operation process of the massage process (step SD81), and starts spraying mist in cooperation with the mist generating device control unit 110 in the middle of the execution of the massage process (step S81). SD82).

Next, the control unit 89 determines whether the selected driving course is the hair care course I or the hair care course II (step SD9).
When the selected driving course is the hair care course I (step SD9: hair care course I), the control unit 89 executes the conditioning process (step SD11), and shifts the processing procedure to step SD14.
As described above, in the hair care course I, the mist spraying and the conditioning process are performed in parallel. Here, as described above, here, it is known that when the mist is sprayed on the head of the person to be washed, the hair cuticle has an effect of opening. In the hair care course I, since the mist spraying and the conditioning process are performed in parallel, the opening of the cuticle by the mist and the injection of the conditioner washing water onto the head can be performed simultaneously. The effect by can be improved.

On the other hand, when the selected driving course is the hair care course II (step SD9: hair care course II), the control unit 89 temporarily stops the operation of the automatic hair washer 1 (step SD12).
During this pause, the user (in this case, the user refers to a person (such as a hairdresser) who can provide various services such as treatment of the head to the person to be washed, and operates the automatic hair washer 1. A person who is different from the person who is to be treated treats the head of the person to be washed with his / her hand, and after the treatment is finished, closes the cover 8 and operates the start / stop instruction switch 145 (step SD13).
After the temporary stop, using the start / stop instruction switch 145 as a trigger, the control unit 89 shifts the processing procedure to step SD14.

In step SD14, the control unit 89 executes a mist process. In the mist process in step SD14, referring to FIG. 10, the control unit 89 does not stop the mist spraying in step SC15, even when the remaining time has run out (step SC14: YES), Continue to spray mist.
Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 10, when an error occurs in the mist device during execution of the mist process in step SD14 and the mist cannot be supplied, the mist process is omitted. The final rinsing process (step SD15), which is the next process, is executed.

  As described above, in the hair care course I, the mist process after the conditioning process is executed, and in the hair care course II, the mist process is executed after the manual treatment. As a result, the ingredients of the conditioner sprayed in the conditioning process and the components of the treatment liquid in the treatment penetrate into the hair more as the cuticle is opened by the mist spraying in the mist process, and the effect of conditioning and treatment The effect is further improved.

Next, the control unit 89 executes the final rinsing process (step SD15).
In step SD14, since the spraying of mist is not stopped, this final rinsing process is executed concurrently with the spraying of mist.
Here, as described above, when the mist is sprayed, the person to be washed can be relaxed, but during the final rinsing process, by performing the mist spraying, the person to be washed is relaxed and the final rinse is performed. The process can be executed. In this embodiment, the head extends to the sealed space 8b in the sink 2, and the cleaning water is sprayed from each nozzle link to the head in the sealed space 8b. It is possible to execute the mist spraying and the final rinsing process simultaneously in parallel because of the configuration of spraying.

  Next, the control unit 89 cooperates with the mist generating device control unit 110 to stop the spraying of mist (step SD16) and end the execution of the hair care course I or the hair care course II (step SD17).

As described above, in the hair care course II, it is possible to perform an operation such as performing a treatment by a user (such as a beautician) immediately after the mist spraying and spraying the mist immediately after the treatment. On the other hand, it is difficult for a user (such as a hairdresser) to perform such an operation manually.
The spraying of mist and other operations can be performed continuously in this way in the automatic hair washer 1 connected to the mist generating device, in which the control unit 89 and the mist generating device control unit 110 cooperate. This is possible because various operations including spraying mist are performed. The same applies to other driving courses.
