Description

本発明は、浴室に関する。 The present invention relates to bathrooms.

浴室の洗い場床に向かって除菌水を吐出させる除菌水吐出装置が知られている(特許文献1)。このような除菌水吐出装置において、吐出させる除菌水として、例えば、流れてきた水(水道水)を電気分解することで生成する次亜塩素酸水などの電解水を利用することも知られている。このような電解水を除菌水として利用することで、例えば洗剤などを利用する場合と比べ、洗剤などを蓄えるカートリッジ等の用意・交換が不要であり、非常に使い勝手が良い。 A sterilized water discharge device that discharges sterilized water toward the floor of a washroom in a bathroom is known (Patent Document 1). In such a sterilized water discharge device, it is also known that electrolyzed water such as hypochlorous acid water generated by electrolyzing flowing water (tap water) is used as the sterilized water to be discharged. It is By using such electrolyzed water as sterilized water, it is not necessary to prepare or replace a cartridge for storing detergent, etc., compared to the case of using detergent, etc., and it is very convenient to use.

一方で、例えば次亜塩素酸水などの電解水を除菌水として利用した場合、電解水は菌に接触すると殺菌するとともに水に戻ってしまう性質がある。したがって、洗い場床の表面を除菌するためには、洗い場床の表面に直接電解水を着水させることが肝要である。 On the other hand, when electrolyzed water such as hypochlorous acid water is used as sterilizing water, the electrolyzed water has the property of sterilizing and returning to water when it comes into contact with bacteria. Therefore, in order to sterilize the surface of the floor of the washing place, it is essential to let electrolyzed water fall directly on the surface of the floor of the washing place.

しかしながら、洗い場床には、浴室の使用者の身体から洗い落とされた皮脂汚れなどが表面に付着してしまっていることが多い。特に、水はけを良くするために洗い場床表面を親水性にしてしまうと、皮脂も表面に広く広がりやすくなるため、皮脂汚れなどが表面に広く付着しやすくなってしまう。皮脂汚れが付着している洗い場床の表面は、皮脂汚れに覆われているため、吐出された電解水が直接着水できない。このことから、使用者が例えばスポンジやブラシなどで浴室を洗浄して皮脂汚れを取り除いた際に、皮脂汚れを養分として繁殖した菌が原因で、皮脂汚れを取り除いた洗い場床の表面に黒ずみ等が発生してしまっているという課題がある。すなわち、せっかく電解水を洗い場床に向かって吐出させても、依然、洗い場床の表面の一部には黒ずみが発生してしまう可能性が残っている。 However, sebum stains and the like washed off from the body of the user of the bathroom often adhere to the surface of the floor of the washing space. In particular, if the floor surface of the washing area is made hydrophilic in order to improve drainage, sebum tends to spread widely over the surface, and sebum stains and the like tend to adhere widely to the surface. Since the surface of the floor of the washing place to which sebum is attached is covered with sebum, the discharged electrolyzed water cannot directly land thereon. For this reason, when the user cleans the bathroom with a sponge or a brush to remove sebum stains, the surface of the floor of the washing area from which the sebum stains have been removed becomes blackened due to bacteria that have propagated using the sebum stains as nutrients. There is a problem that has occurred. That is, even if the electrolyzed water is discharged toward the floor of the washing place, there is still a possibility that a part of the surface of the floor of the washing place will be darkened.

本発明は、皮脂汚れに隠れた洗い場床の表面に電解水を接触させやすい浴室を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom in which electrolyzed water is easily brought into contact with the surface of the floor of the washing place hidden by sebum stains.

第1の発明の浴室は、洗い場床へ向かって除菌作用を有する電解水を吐出可能な電解水吐出装置を備えた浴室であって、前記洗い場床の表面は、該洗い場床を大気中の常温下で水平に保持し、オレイン酸からなる1μLの油滴を該表面に存在させた場合の該油滴の接触角である油接触角が16°以上であって、前記電解水吐出装置における電解水の水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度は0°以上で且つ16°以下であることを特徴としている。
第1の発明によれば、洗い場床の表面へ向かって、電解水を、洗い場床の油接触角よりも鋭い吐出角度で斜めから吐出することができ。このような斜めから鋭く吐出された電解水は、皮脂汚れと洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込みやすくなる。したがって、洗い場床の表面において皮脂汚れに隠れた部分に電解水を接触させやすくなり、結果として洗い場床の表面をしっかりと除菌することができる。
洗い場床の表面は親水性にしつつも、撥油性が低くなりすぎないようにし(油接触角αを16°以上にし)、皮脂汚れの表面での広がりを抑えて、皮脂汚れが表面に広く付着しないようにできる。そして、油接触角以下の鋭い吐出角度(0°以上16°以下)で電解水を吐出することで、電解水を皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に潜り込ませることができる。
皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込んだ電解水は、洗い場床の表面に対して除菌の作用をした後、水に戻り、皮脂汚れはそのまま水とともに排水口へと排出されやすくなる。このため、せっかく除菌された洗い場床の表面に再度皮脂汚れが接触しにくくできるという、当業者も予期せぬ効果も生まれた。
第2の発明は、第1の発明において、前記洗い場床の表面は傾斜しており、前記電解水吐出装置は、電解水を、傾斜した前記洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、前記洗い場床の表面に対して0°以上で且つ16°以下の着水角度で着水するよう吐出させることを特徴とする。
第2の発明によれば、傾斜した洗い場床の表面に付着した皮脂汚れは、重力にしたがって傾斜方向に傾いた状態になりやすくなる。このような状態で、電解水は、傾斜した洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、洗い場床の表面に対して、0°以上で且つ16°以下の着水角度で着水するよう吐出させる。このことにより、より効果的に、電解水を皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込ませることができる。
第3の発明は、第2の発明において、使用者が操作することによって電解水を吐出させる操作部をさらに備え、前記操作部が操作された際には、まず電解水でない水道水を、傾斜した前記洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させた後、電解水を、傾斜した前記洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させることを特徴とする。
第3の発明によれば、皮脂汚れを洗い場床の表面から引き離す作用を水道水にさせ、皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込ませて洗い場床の表面を除菌させる作用を電解水にさせることができる。したがって、皮脂汚れを洗い場床の表面から引き離すために不要に電解水が皮脂汚れに接触してしまうことを抑制でき、より効果的に電解水を洗い場床の表面に対して作用させることができる。
第4の発明は、第3の発明において、前記操作部が操作された際には、まず電解水でない水道水を、傾斜した前記洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させた後、所定時間経過するまで電解水および水道水を吐出させず、前記所定時間経過した後、電解水を、傾斜した前記洗い場床の表面において下方から入り込むように、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させることを特徴とする。
第4の発明によれば、水道水を洗い場床へ着水させた直後に電解水を洗い場床へ吐出させてしまうと、せっかくの電解水の除菌成分の濃度が、残っている水道水で薄まってしまう。そこで、水道水を洗い場床に吐出させた後、所定時間が経過するまで電解水および水道水を吐出させず、その所定時間経過した後、電解水を洗い場床へ向かって吐出させることで、より効果的に電解水を洗い場床の表面に対して作用させることができる。
第5の発明は、第3または第4の発明において、前記電解水でない水道水は、前記洗い場床だけでなく、浴室を形成する浴室内壁にも吐出させることを特徴とする。
第5の発明によれば、皮脂汚れの両側から挟み込むように水道水を皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込ませることができ、より効果的に皮脂汚れを洗い場床の表面から引き離すことができる。
第6の発明は、第3~第5の発明のいずれか1つにおいて、前記電解水でない水道水は、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で吐出された状態で、着水位置が移動するように吐水されることを特徴とする。
第6の発明によれば、様々な方向から皮脂汚れと表面との間に潜り込むような水流を形成することができ、より確実に皮脂汚れを浮かせることができる。
A bathroom according to a first aspect of the invention is a bathroom equipped with an electrolyzed water discharge device capable of discharging electrolyzed water having a sterilizing action toward a floor of the washing space, wherein the surface of the floor of the washing space is such that the floor of the washing space is exposed to the atmosphere. The electrolyzed water discharge device has an oil contact angle of 16° or more, which is a contact angle of an oil droplet of 1 μL made of oleic acid when the oil droplet is held horizontally at normal temperature and is present on the surface. It is characterized in that the electrolyzed water is discharged downward at an angle of 0° or more and 16° or less with respect to the horizontal direction.
According to the first invention, electrolyzed water can be obliquely discharged toward the surface of the floor of the washing space at a discharge angle sharper than the oil contact angle of the floor of the washing space. The electrolyzed water sharply discharged from such an oblique direction tends to enter between the sebum stain and the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place. Therefore, it becomes easier for the electrolyzed water to come into contact with the surface of the floor of the washing place hidden by the sebum dirt, and as a result, the surface of the floor of the washing place can be thoroughly sterilized.
While making the surface of the floor of the washing area hydrophilic, the oil repellency should not be too low (oil contact angle α should be 16° or more), and the spread of sebum stains on the surface should be suppressed, so that sebum stains can adhere widely to the surface. You can avoid it. By discharging the electrolyzed water at a sharp discharge angle (0° or more and 16° or less) equal to or less than the oil contact angle, the electrolyzed water can penetrate between the sebum stain and the surface of the floor of the washing place.
The electrolyzed water that has entered between the sebum stain and the surface of the washing space floor acts to disinfect the surface of the washing space floor, and then returns to water, and the sebum stain is easily discharged along with the water to the drain port. . For this reason, an effect unexpected even by a person skilled in the art was produced in that sebum stains are less likely to come into contact again with the surface of the washing place floor that has been thoroughly sterilized.
According to a second invention, in the first invention, the surface of the floor of the washing place is inclined, and the electrolyzed water discharge device is arranged so that the electrolyzed water enters the inclined surface of the floor of the washing place from below. It is characterized in that the water is discharged so as to land on the surface of the floor at a landing angle of 0° or more and 16° or less.
According to the second invention, sebum stains adhering to the surface of the slanted washroom floor tend to be inclined in the slanting direction according to gravity. In this state, the electrolyzed water is discharged so as to enter from below on the surface of the slanted floor of the washing place and land on the surface of the floor of the washing place at a landing angle of 0° or more and 16° or less. . This allows the electrolyzed water to enter between the sebum stain and the surface of the floor of the washroom more effectively.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect, the apparatus further comprises an operation unit for discharging electrolyzed water by being operated by a user, and when the operation unit is operated, tap water that is not electrolyzed water is first tilted. After discharging electrolyzed water at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less with respect to the horizontal direction so that it enters from below on the surface of the washing place floor that is inclined, electrolyzed water enters from below on the surface of the inclined washing place floor. , the ink is discharged at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less with respect to the horizontal direction.
According to the third invention, tap water has the action of separating sebum stains from the surface of the washing place floor, and electrolyzed water has the action of entering between the sebum stains and the surface of the washing place floor to sterilize the surface of the washing place floor. can be made Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electrolyzed water from contacting the sebum stains unnecessarily in order to separate the sebum stains from the surface of the floor of the washing place, so that the electrolyzed water can be made to act on the surface of the floor of the washing place more effectively.
In a fourth invention based on the third invention, when the operation unit is operated, tap water, which is not electrolyzed water, is first poured downward in the horizontal direction so as to enter from below the inclined surface of the floor of the washing place. After discharging the electrolyzed water and tap water at a discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less, the electrolyzed water and the tap water are not discharged until a predetermined time has passed, and after the predetermined time has passed, the electrolyzed water is discharged from the inclined surface of the floor of the washing place. is discharged at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less with respect to the horizontal direction so as to enter from below.
According to the fourth invention, if electrolyzed water is discharged onto the floor of the washing place immediately after the tap water has landed on the floor of the washing place, the concentration of the sterilizing component in the precious electrolyzed water will be reduced by the remaining tap water. It becomes diluted. Therefore, after discharging the tap water to the floor of the washing place, electrolyzed water and tap water are not discharged until a predetermined time has passed, and after the predetermined time has passed, the electrolyzed water is discharged toward the floor of the washing place. Electrolyzed water can effectively act on the surface of the floor of the washing place.
A fifth invention is characterized in that, in the third or fourth invention, tap water that is not electrolyzed water is discharged not only to the floor of the washing place but also to the inner wall of the bathroom forming the bathroom.
According to the fifth invention, the tap water can enter between the sebum stain and the surface of the washing space floor so as to sandwich the sebum stain from both sides, and the sebum stain can be more effectively separated from the surface of the washing space floor. can be done.
In a sixth aspect, in any one of the third to fifth aspects, the tap water that is not electrolyzed water is discharged at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more with respect to the horizontal direction, and the water landing position is It is characterized in that water is jetted so as to move.
According to the sixth invention, it is possible to form water streams that sink between the sebum stain and the surface from various directions, and to more reliably float the sebum stain.

本発明の浴室によれば、皮脂汚れに隠れた洗い場床の表面に電解水を接触させやすい浴室が提供される。 According to the bathroom of the present invention, it is possible to provide a bathroom in which electrolyzed water is easily brought into contact with the surface of the floor of the washing space hidden by sebum stains.

A fourth wall 544 is provided on one long side of the bathtub 510 . A third wall 543 is provided on the washing floor 520 side facing the fourth wall 544 .

洗い場床520には排水口521が設けられている。図2(a)に示す例では、排水口521は、洗い場床520における浴槽510側の縁部近傍であって、洗い場床520の長手方向の略中央に位置している。 A washing place floor 520 is provided with a drain port 521 . In the example shown in FIG. 2( a ), the drain port 521 is located near the edge of the floor 520 on the side of the bathtub 510 and substantially in the center of the floor 520 in the longitudinal direction.

洗い場床520の表面(床面)には、第1の壁541側の縁部、第2の壁542側の縁部、および第3の壁543側の縁部から、排水口521へと向かう緩やかな下り傾斜(排水勾配)が設けられている。 On the surface (floor surface) of the floor of the washing area 520, there are the edge on the side of the first wall 541, the edge on the side of the second wall 542, and the edge on the side of the third wall 543 toward the drain port 521. A gentle downward slope (drain slope) is provided.

A power supply 30 supplies power to them. Also, the power supply 30 supplies power to the operation unit 35 . The power supply 30 is installed behind the ceiling 545 of the bathroom 500, for example, as shown in FIG. 2(a). The control device 40 is installed inside the counter 530 or behind the ceiling 545 of the bathroom 500 .

電磁弁53は制御装置40の制御によって開閉される。電磁弁53が開くと、水道水が第1の吐水口11から吐水される。電磁弁53が閉じると、第1の吐水口11から水道水水は吐水されない。 The solenoid valve 53 is opened and closed under the control of the control device 40 . When the solenoid valve 53 is opened, tap water is spouted from the first spout 11 . When the solenoid valve 53 is closed, tap water is not spouted from the first spout 11 .

電磁弁56は制御装置40の制御によって開閉される。電磁弁56が開くと、水道水が電解水生成部20に供給され、その電解水生成部20で生成された電解水が第2の吐水口12から吐水される。電磁弁56が閉じると、第2の吐水口12から電解水は吐水されない。 The solenoid valve 56 is opened and closed under the control of the controller 40 . When the solenoid valve 56 is opened, tap water is supplied to the electrolyzed water generator 20 , and the electrolyzed water generated by the electrolyzed water generator 20 is discharged from the second water outlet 12 . When the electromagnetic valve 56 is closed, electrolyzed water is not spouted from the second spout 12 .

調圧弁57による水道水の圧力制御により、電解水生成部20に供給される水道水の流量が調整される。電解水生成部20に供給される水道水の流量調整により、第2の吐水口12から吐水される電解水の流量が調整される。 The tap water pressure control by the pressure regulating valve 57 adjusts the flow rate of the tap water supplied to the electrolyzed water generator 20 . By adjusting the flow rate of tap water supplied to the electrolyzed water generator 20, the flow rate of electrolyzed water spouted from the second water spout 12 is adjusted.

また、電磁弁53、56によって、その下流側に供給される水道水の流量を調整することができる。 In addition, the solenoid valves 53 and 56 can adjust the flow rate of the tap water supplied downstream.

電解水生成部20は電解水を生成する。この電解水は除菌作用を有する除菌水である。電解水生成部20は、例えば陽極と陰極とを有する電解槽である。それら陽極と陰極との間に電圧を印加して、陽極と陰極との間を流れる水道水を電気分解することで、水道水は電解水に変性する。水道水は塩化物イオンを含んでいるため、その塩化物イオンを電気分解することによって、次亜塩素酸が生成される。 Electrolyzed water generator 20 generates electrolyzed water. This electrolyzed water is sterilized water having a sterilizing effect. The electrolyzed water generator 20 is, for example, an electrolytic cell having an anode and a cathode. By applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode to electrolyze the tap water flowing between the anode and the cathode, the tap water is denatured into electrolyzed water. Since tap water contains chloride ions, hypochlorous acid is produced by electrolyzing the chloride ions.

次亜塩素酸は、菌を死滅させ、さらに菌の繁殖を抑える能力をもつ。したがって、電解水は、次亜塩素酸を含み、除菌作用を有する除菌水である。 Hypochlorous acid has the ability to kill bacteria and further suppress the growth of bacteria. Therefore, electrolyzed water is sterilized water containing hypochlorous acid and having a sterilizing effect.

図3は、吐水部10の斜視図である。 FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the water discharger 10. FIG.

吐水部10は、円筒状に形成され、その下部側面に第1の吐水口11と第2の吐水口12が設けられている。第1の吐水口11および第2の吐水口12は、それぞれ、縦長のスリット状に形成されている。 The water discharger 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is provided with a first water discharge port 11 and a second water discharge port 12 on its lower side surface. The first water outlet 11 and the second water outlet 12 are each formed in a vertically long slit shape.

第1の吐水口11と第2の吐水口12は、円筒状の吐水部10の周方向に並んで配置されている。または、第1の吐水口11と第2の吐水口12を高さ方向に並んで配置してもよい。 The first water discharge port 11 and the second water discharge port 12 are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical water discharge portion 10 . Alternatively, the first water outlet 11 and the second water outlet 12 may be arranged side by side in the height direction.

第1の吐水口11からは、電解水でない水道水が洗い場床520に吐水される。第2の吐水口12からは、前述した電解水(除菌水)が洗い場床520に吐水される。円筒状の吐水部10内に水道水または電解水を一時的に貯留することができ、吐水圧力を上昇させることができる。 Tap water that is not electrolyzed water is spouted onto the floor 520 of the washing place from the first spout 11 . The electrolyzed water (disinfected water) described above is spouted onto the floor 520 of the washing place from the second spout 12 . Tap water or electrolyzed water can be temporarily stored in the cylindrical water discharger 10, and the water discharge pressure can be increased.

縦長の第1の吐水口11から、縦方向(上下方向)に扇状に広がった水道水を吐水することができる。同じく縦長の第2の吐水口12から、縦方向(上下方向)に扇状に広がった電解水を吐水することができる。 Tap water that spreads in a fan shape in the vertical direction (vertical direction) can be discharged from the vertically long first water discharge port 11 . Electrolyzed water spreading like a fan in the vertical direction (vertical direction) can be discharged from the vertically long second water discharge port 12 .

前述したモーター66の駆動により、円筒状の吐水部10をその中心軸(図3において1点鎖線で示す)のまわりに回転させ、水道水や電解水が吐出される方向を変化させることができる。 By driving the motor 66 described above, the cylindrical water discharger 10 can be rotated around its central axis (indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3) to change the direction in which tap water or electrolyzed water is discharged. .

洗い場床520は、例えばFRP(Fiber Reinforced Plastic)からなる基材を有し、その表面は親水性で且つ撥油性である。 The washroom floor 520 has a base material made of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), for example, and its surface is hydrophilic and oil-repellent.

ここでの洗い場床520の表面の撥油性は、以下のように規定できる。
図5(a)に示すように、洗い場床520を大気中の常温下で水平に保持し、オレイン酸からなる1μLの油滴300をその表面に存在させた場合のその油滴300の接触角である油接触角αが16°以上40°以下である。
Here, the oil repellency of the surface of the floor 520 for washing can be defined as follows.
As shown in FIG. 5(a), when the floor 520 of the washroom is held horizontally at room temperature in the atmosphere and a 1 μL oil droplet 300 made of oleic acid is present on the surface, the contact angle of the oil droplet 300 is is 16° or more and 40° or less.

また、洗い場床520の表面の親水性は、水と洗い場床520の表面との接触角度が0°以上50°以下と定義することができる。 Also, the hydrophilicity of the surface of the floor of the washing space 520 can be defined as a contact angle between water and the surface of the floor of the washing space of 0° or more and 50° or less.

図4は、吐水部10から吐出された電解水の着水までの軌跡を模式的に示す側面図である。 FIG. 4 is a side view schematically showing the trajectory of the electrolyzed water discharged from the water discharger 10 until it lands.

吐水部10は、電解水を洗い場床520へ向かって斜めから吐出可能である。前述したように縦方向に扇状に広がって吐出される電解水は、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度が0°以上で且つ16°以下の吐出成分を含んでいる。 The water discharger 10 can discharge electrolyzed water obliquely toward the floor 520 of the washing place. As described above, the electrolyzed water that is discharged in a fan-like manner in the vertical direction contains a discharge component that has a downward discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less with respect to the horizontal direction.

図4には、0°以上で且つ16°以下の範囲内にある吐出角度としてθ1、θ2、θ3の吐出角度で吐出された3本の電解水の軌跡を例示する。水平方向(図4において破線に沿った方向)に吐出された電解水の吐出角度は0°となる。 FIG. 4 illustrates trajectories of three lines of electrolyzed water discharged at discharge angles θ1, θ2, and θ3 within the range of 0° or more and 16° or less. The discharge angle of the electrolyzed water discharged in the horizontal direction (the direction along the dashed line in FIG. 4) is 0°.

電解水と同様に、吐水部10は、電解水でない水道水を洗い場床520へ向かって斜めから吐出可能であり、縦方向に扇状に広がって吐出される水道水は、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度が0°以上で且つ16°以下の吐出成分を含んでいる。 As with electrolyzed water, the water discharger 10 can discharge tap water that is not electrolyzed water obliquely toward the floor 520 of the washing space. It contains ejection components with an ejection angle of 0° or more and 16° or less.

図8(a)は、実施形態における電解水の吐水タイムチャートである。 FIG. 8A is a water discharge time chart of electrolyzed water in the embodiment.

使用者が図1、図2(a)に示す操作部35を操作すると(操作部35がONになると)、操作部35は制御装置40へ電解水吐出の実行指令を送信する。制御装置40は、操作部35から電解水吐出の実行指令を受信した後、吐水部10から電解水を時間T1の間吐出させるように制御を実行する。 When the user operates the operation unit 35 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A (when the operation unit 35 is turned ON), the operation unit 35 transmits an execution command for discharging electrolytic water to the control device 40 . After receiving the execution command for discharging electrolyzed water from the operation unit 35, the control device 40 executes control so that the electrolyzed water is discharged from the water discharging unit 10 for the time T1.

実施形態によれば、洗い場床520の表面へ向かって、電解水を、洗い場床520の油接触角αよりも鋭い(小さい)吐出角度で斜めから吐出することができ。このような斜めから鋭く吐出された電解水は、皮脂汚れと洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込みやすくなる。 According to the embodiment, electrolyzed water can be obliquely discharged toward the surface of the floor 520 of the washing space at a discharge angle sharper (smaller) than the oil contact angle α of the floor 520 of the washing space. The electrolyzed water sharply discharged from such an oblique direction tends to enter between the sebum stain and the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place.

したがって、洗い場床520の表面において皮脂汚れに隠れた部分に電解水を接触させやすくなり、結果として洗い場床520の表面をしっかりと除菌することができる。 Therefore, it becomes easier for electrolyzed water to come into contact with the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place hidden by sebum stains, and as a result, the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place can be thoroughly sterilized.

洗い場床520の表面は親水性にしつつも、撥油性が低くなりすぎないようにし(油接触角αを16°以上にし)、皮脂汚れの表面での広がりを抑えて、皮脂汚れが表面に広く付着しないようにできる。そして、油接触角以下の鋭い吐出角度(0°以上16°以下)で電解水を吐出することで、電解水を皮脂汚れと洗い場床520の表面との間に潜り込ませることができる。 The surface of the floor 520 for washing is made hydrophilic, but the oil repellency is not too low (the oil contact angle α is set to 16° or more), and the spreading of sebum stains on the surface is suppressed, so that the sebum stains spread over the surface. You can prevent it from sticking. By discharging the electrolyzed water at a sharp discharge angle (0° or more and 16° or less) equal to or less than the oil contact angle, the electrolyzed water can penetrate between the sebum stain and the surface of the washing place floor 520 .

皮脂汚れと洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込んだ電解水は、洗い場床520の表面に対して除菌の作用をした後、水に戻り、皮脂汚れはそのまま水とともに排水口へと排出されやすくなる。このため、せっかく除菌された洗い場床520の表面に再度皮脂汚れが接触しにくくできるという、当業者も予期せぬ効果も生まれた。 The electrolyzed water that has entered between the sebum stain and the surface of the washing place floor 520 acts to eliminate bacteria on the surface of the washing place floor 520, and then returns to water, and the sebum stain is discharged as it is to the drain port along with the water. easier. For this reason, an effect unexpected even by a person skilled in the art is produced, in which sebum stains are less likely to come into contact with the surface of the washing space floor 520 that has been sterilized.

洗い場床520の表面には排水勾配が形成されており、図5(b)に示すように、洗い場床520の表面は傾斜している。傾斜した表面が撥油性である洗い場床520の表面に付着した皮脂汚れ200は、重力にしたがって傾斜方向に傾いた状態になりやすくなる。 A drainage gradient is formed on the surface of the floor 520 of the washing area, and as shown in FIG. 5(b), the surface of the floor 520 of the washing area is inclined. Sebum stains 200 adhering to the surface of the washing space floor 520 whose inclined surface is oil-repellent tend to be inclined in the direction of inclination according to gravity.

このような状態で、電解水は、傾斜した洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、洗い場床520の表面に対して、0°以上で且つ16°以下の着水角度β(上記吐出角度と錯角の関係にある)で着水するよう吐出させる。このことにより、より効果的に、電解水を皮脂汚れ200と洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込ませることができる。 In this state, the electrolyzed water enters from below on the inclined surface of the floor 520 of the washing place, with respect to the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place, at a landing angle β of 0° or more and 16° or less (the discharge angle ) to land on the water. As a result, the electrolyzed water can enter between the sebum stain 200 and the surface of the floor 520 of the washing area more effectively.

図8(b)は、実施形態における水道水および電解水の吐水タイムチャートである。 FIG. 8(b) is a water discharge time chart of tap water and electrolyzed water in the embodiment.

この例では、電解水を洗い場床520へ向かって斜めから吐出させる前に、電解水でない水道水を洗い場床520へ向かって斜めから吐出させる。 In this example, tap water, which is not electrolyzed water, is discharged diagonally toward the floor 520 of the washing place before electrolyzed water is discharged diagonally toward the floor 520 of the washing space.

使用者が操作部35を操作すると(操作部35がONになると)、まず電解水でない水道水を、図6(a)に示すように傾斜した洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、上記吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させる。操作部35の操作後、まず時間t1の間、水道水が吐水部10から吐出される。 When the user operates the operation unit 35 (when the operation unit 35 is turned ON), first tap water, which is not electrolyzed water, is introduced from below on the surface of the floor 520 of the washing floor, which is inclined as shown in FIG. 6(a). The ejection angle is 0° or more and 16° or less. After the operating portion 35 is operated, tap water is discharged from the water discharging portion 10 for a time t1.

水道水の吐出終了後、時間t2が経過した後、図6(b)に示すように、電解水を、洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、上記吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させる。電解水は、時間t3(=t1)の間吐出される。 After the time t2 has elapsed after the discharge of the tap water is finished, as shown in FIG. Dispense below. The electrolyzed water is discharged during time t3 (=t1).

このことにより、皮脂汚れ200を洗い場床520の表面から引き離す作用を水道水にさせ、皮脂汚れ200と洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込ませて洗い場床520の表面を除菌させる作用を電解水にさせることができる。したがって、皮脂汚れ200を洗い場床520の表面から引き離すために不要に電解水が皮脂汚れ200に接触してしまうことを抑制でき、より効果的に電解水を洗い場床520の表面に対して作用させることができる。 As a result, the action of separating the sebum stains 200 from the surface of the washing place floor 520 is caused by the tap water, and the action of entering between the sebum stains 200 and the surface of the washing place floor 520 to sterilize the surface of the washing place floor 520 is electrolyzed. can be watered. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electrolyzed water from contacting the sebum stain 200 unnecessarily in order to separate the sebum stain 200 from the surface of the washing space floor 520, and make the electrolyzed water act on the surface of the washing space floor 520 more effectively. be able to.

また、上記操作部35が使用者によって操作され、まず電解水でない水道水を洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させた後、所定時間t2経過するまで電解水および水道水のどちらも吐出させない。そして、所定時間t2経過した後、電解水を、洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させる。 Further, the operation unit 35 is operated by the user, and tap water, which is not electrolyzed water, is first discharged at a discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less so as to enter from below on the surface of the washing place floor 520, and then for a predetermined time. Neither electrolyzed water nor tap water is discharged until t2 has elapsed. Then, after the predetermined time t2 has passed, the electrolyzed water is discharged at a discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less so as to enter from below on the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place.

水道水を洗い場床520へ着水させた直後に電解水を洗い場床520へ吐出させてしまうと、せっかくの電解水の除菌成分の濃度が、残っている水道水で薄まってしまう。そこで、水道水を洗い場床520に吐出させた後、所定時間t2(例えば、30秒以上1分以下)が経過するまで電解水および水道水を吐出させず、その所定時間t2経過した後、電解水を洗い場床520へ向かって吐出させることで、より効果的に電解水を洗い場床520の表面に対して作用させることができる。 If the electrolyzed water is discharged to the washing place floor 520 immediately after the tap water lands on the washing place floor 520, the concentration of the sterilizing component of the electrolyzed water will be diluted with the remaining tap water. Therefore, after the tap water is discharged onto the washing place floor 520, the electrolyzed water and the tap water are not discharged until a predetermined time t2 (for example, 30 seconds or more and 1 minute or less) elapses. By discharging water toward the floor 520 of the washing place, the electrolyzed water can be made to act on the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place more effectively.

また、電解水でない水道水は、洗い場床520だけでなく浴室を形成する浴室内壁にも吐出させる。皮脂汚れを洗い場床520の表面から引き離すための水道水を、洗い場床520の表面に対してだけでなく、浴室を形成する浴室内壁にもあえて吐出させる。 Further, tap water that is not electrolyzed water is discharged not only to the floor 520 of the washing place but also to the inner wall of the bathroom forming the bathroom. Tap water for separating sebum stains from the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place is intentionally discharged not only to the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place but also to the inner wall of the bathroom forming the bathroom.

浴室内壁に吐出された水道水は、図7(a)に示すように、傾斜した洗い場床520の表面の下り勾配に沿って流れ、皮脂汚れ200の両側から挟み込むように水道水を皮脂汚れ200と洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込ませることができ、より効果的に皮脂汚れ200を洗い場床の表面から引き離すことができる。 As shown in FIG. 7(a), the tap water discharged to the inner wall of the bathroom flows along the downward slope of the surface of the slanted washing floor 520, and the tap water is applied to the sebum stain 200 so as to sandwich the sebum stain 200 from both sides. and the surface of the floor 520 of the washing place, so that the sebum dirt 200 can be more effectively separated from the surface of the floor of the washing place.

そして上記所定時間経過した後、図7(b)に示すように、電解水を、洗い場床520の表面において下方から入り込むように、上記吐出角度0°以上で且つ16°以下で吐出させ、皮脂汚れ200と洗い場床520の表面との間に入り込ませる。 Then, after the predetermined time has passed, as shown in FIG. 7B, the electrolyzed water is discharged from below on the surface of the floor 520 for washing at the discharge angle of 0° or more and 16° or less. It is made to enter between the dirt 200 and the surface of the washing place floor 520. - 特許庁

前述したように、吐水部10はその中心軸(図3において1点鎖線で示す)のまわりに回転され、水道水や電解水が吐出される方向を変化させることができる。したがって、水道水は、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で吐出された状態で、洗い場床520の表面への着水位置が移動するように吐水される。 As described above, the water discharger 10 can be rotated around its central axis (indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 3) to change the direction in which tap water or electrolyzed water is discharged. Therefore, the tap water is discharged at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more with respect to the horizontal direction, and is discharged such that the water landing position on the surface of the washing place floor 520 moves.

これにより、様々な方向から皮脂汚れと表面との間に潜り込むような水流を形成することができ、より確実に皮脂汚れを浮かせることができる。 As a result, it is possible to form water streams that penetrate between the sebum stain and the surface from various directions, and more reliably float the sebum stain.

吐水部10からの電解水や水道水の吐出流速が遅いと電解水や水道水は放物線を描いて着水し、皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込みやすい着水角度が得られ難くなる。そこで、例えば、吐水部10からの電解水の吐出流速を9(m/s)以上11(m/s)以下、吐水部10からの水道水の吐出流速を5.6(m/s)に設定すると、水平方向に対する下方への吐出角度0°以上で且つ40°以下で電解水や水道水を吐出させ、電解水や水道水を皮脂汚れと洗い場床の表面との間に入り込みやすくできる。 If the flow velocity of electrolyzed water or tap water discharged from the water discharge unit 10 is slow, the electrolyzed water or tap water lands in a parabola, making it difficult to obtain a landing angle that facilitates entry between sebum stains and the surface of the floor of the washing space. Become. Therefore, for example, the discharge flow rate of electrolyzed water from the water discharger 10 is set to 9 (m/s) or more and 11 (m/s) or less, and the discharge flow rate of tap water from the water discharger 10 is set to 5.6 (m/s). When set, electrolyzed water or tap water is discharged at a downward discharge angle of 0° or more and 40° or less with respect to the horizontal direction, making it easier for the electrolyzed water or tap water to enter between the sebum dirt and the surface of the floor of the washing place.

また、電解水及び水道水はそれぞれ粒状に吐出される。例えば、電解水の粒径は800(μm)であり、水道水の粒径は0.3(mm)以上3.5(mm)以下である。 Also, the electrolyzed water and the tap water are discharged in granular form. For example, the particle size of electrolyzed water is 800 (μm), and the particle size of tap water is 0.3 (mm) or more and 3.5 (mm) or less.
