[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

This invention relates to a local cleaning device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a local cleaning device in which a main body and a functional unit are separated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A type of a local cleaning device provided on a toilet for cleaning a human body part has a main body integrally provided with a toilet seat and a toilet lid, and the main body is attached to the toilet. There is.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a conventional local cleaning apparatus of this kind. In this figure, 100 is the toilet seat 10
2, a main body unit provided integrally with the toilet lid 104, and a local cleaning nozzle 106 is provided.

A hot water tank 108, a circuit board 110, a main solenoid valve 112, a switching solenoid valve 114 for switching water passages, a hot air fan 116 and the like are built in a box of the main body 100. Each electric device of these local cleaning devices is 1
It is designed to operate directly with a 00 volt commercial power supply.

[0005] As described above, this local cleaning apparatus has a configuration in which the large capacity hot water tank 108 is accommodated in the main body 100, and a configuration in which each electric device operates using a commercial power supply directly as a power supply. Therefore, there is a problem that this local cleaning device cannot be installed in a unit bathroom such as a hotel, that is, a toilet in a unit bathroom in which a bathtub, a toilet, a counter and the like are provided.

[0006] The local cleaning device of this embodiment comprises a hot water tank 1
08, the main body 100 has a large shape,
In general, it is difficult to install the toilet on the toilet provided in contact with the counter in terms of space, and in the case of a unit bathroom, the room is filled with steam or the toilet and the local cleaning device are used with a wet body. Therefore, if the commercial power is directly supplied to the main body 100, there is a risk of danger to the human body.

The hot water tank 108 and the functional unit including the electric equipment are separated from the main unit 100 and stored in the counter. The hot unit and the voltage once reduced by the transformer are supplied to the main unit 100 from this functional unit. It is thought that.

[0008]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In this case, it is necessary to provide piping and electrical wiring for guiding hot water from the functional unit to the main unit. Therefore, there is a problem that the aesthetic appearance is impaired and that piping and wiring are also difficult to perform.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve such problems. Thus, the present invention provides a local cleaning apparatus in which a main body including a cleaning nozzle and a functional unit including a hot water tank and an electric device are separated from each other. In this case, one of the tubes is used as a hot water passage, and the other tube accommodates electric wiring.

[0010] Another invention of the present application is characterized in that the double tube is formed as a flexible tube.

[0011] Still another invention of the present application is characterized in that one of the tubes for accommodating the electric wiring is provided with a slit extending in the axial direction thereof.

[0012]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the main unit and the functional unit are connected by two tubes, one of which is used as a hot water passage, and the other is used as a housing pipe for electric wiring. The passage and the electric wiring are collectively provided. In this case, the hot water passage and the electric wiring are in a disorderly and disturbed state, which makes the appearance complicated and prevents the appearance from being impaired. Further, since the hot water passage and the electric wiring can be collectively piped and wired, workability is also improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the double tube is formed of a flexible tube, which significantly improves the workability of the piping and wiring of the hot water passage and the electric wiring, and the local cleaning. An advantage is obtained in that it can easily cope with a change in the type, shape, and arrangement position of the main body and functional units of the device.

For example, if the main unit and the functional unit are connected by a hard pipe, a large number of types may be prepared according to the type, shape, arrangement position, etc. of the main unit and the functional unit. Although necessary, a flexible tube does not cause such problems.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a slit is provided in a tube for electric wiring, so that the electric wiring can be easily inserted into the tube.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows the inside of the unit bathroom, in which 10 is a bathtub, 12 is a counter, and 14 is a Western-style toilet provided substantially in contact with the counter 12.

The toilet 14 is provided with a local cleaning device 18 having a cleaning nozzle 16. Local cleaning device 1
8 is a form in which a main body 24 provided integrally with the toilet seat 20 and the toilet lid 22 and a functional unit 26 including a hot water tank and electric equipment are separated from each other, and the main body 24 is attached to the toilet 14. Meanwhile, the function unit 26 is housed inside the counter 12.

In the main body 24, as shown in FIG. 3, the connector connection boxes 28, 10 are provided inside the box.
The auxiliary tank 30 for keeping heat of a small capacity of about 0 cc, a switching valve 32 for switching the supply of water to the two nozzles 16, a soft attachment mechanism 34 for allowing the toilet seat 20 to be seated softly on the toilet body, and a remote control operation unit A light receiving section 36 for receiving the emitted optical signal is accommodated.

On the other hand, in the functional section 26, a large-capacity hot water tank 38 (about 1.4 liters) and a main solenoid valve for opening and closing a passage extending from the water supply port 40 to the hot water tank 38 are provided in a lower portion in the closed box. Further, a valve body 42 including a flow rate adjusting valve for adjusting the flow rate of the passage is accommodated.

The upper part houses a transformer 43, an earth leakage breaker 44, a printed circuit board 46, etc. for lowering a 100 volt commercial power supply voltage to a low voltage (for example, 24 volts).

The function section 26 and the main body section 24 are arranged as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, an integral and flexible double tube 52 composed of two tubes 48 and 50 (FIG. 4)
(See (A)).

One tube 48 is for a hot water passage, and one end of each tube 48 is a water supply port 54 of the functional section 26 (see FIG. 3).
