It is connected to a water storage tank (not shown) of a water storage device 27 that stores and pressurizes the washing water. Reference numeral 28 denotes an operation unit for controlling and adjusting the flow rate, water pressure, temperature, and the like of the washing water.
Note that the sanitary washing device of this example is not provided with a dedicated toilet seat. Further, in the water storage device 27, various valves (not shown) for adjusting the flow rate and the water pressure of the washing water and preventing backflow, and an electric pump (not shown) for pressurizing the washing water are provided. Be placed.

In this embodiment, the installation of the sanitary washing device will be described first. The suction cup 11 of the support 10 is sucked to the rear side of the peripheral portion 1a of the toilet 1 against the toilet seat 4 in the open state (the state shown in FIG. 6) (see FIG. 1). In this state, the support 10 has a base 10a opposed to the peripheral portion 1a, and a support portion 10b protruding from the peripheral portion 1a to form the water reservoir 1b.
It is arranged so that it may face.

When the toilet seat 4 is rotated in the closing direction,
As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the support 10 is sandwiched between the toilet 1 and the toilet seat 4. Therefore, the base 10a of the support 10
Slightly presses the suction cup 11 toward the peripheral edge 1a, so that the support 10 is securely held at a predetermined position.

Next, the use of the sanitary washing device will be described. When the operation unit 28 of the water storage device 27 is operated, the inside of the water storage tank is pressurized, and the cleaning water W is sent toward the ejection member 20 side. The pressurized washing water W is supplied to the receiving unit 12 via the pipe 14, as shown in FIG. 3A.

Then, the washing water W collides with the outer peripheral surface 20b of the support piece 20a of the ejection member 20 and the lever portion 21,
The cleaning water W blocked by the outer peripheral surface 20b rotates the lever portion 21 counterclockwise against the urging force of the spring 15 by the water pressure (see FIG. 3). With the rotation of the lever portion 21, the ejection member 20 held in a horizontal state (hidden by the support portion 10 b) rotates counterclockwise to be pulled out to a predetermined position, and the water passage hole 22. And the water channel of the pipe 14 are opposed to each other, so that the washing water W

Further, the cleaning water W is ejected from the pipe 14 through the ejection member 20 from the ejection port 24 for a predetermined time and a predetermined amount. This spout cleans the area hygienically and comfortably.

When the water is stopped by operating the operation unit 28 of the water storage device 27, the water pressure in the escape portion 13 of the receiving portion 12 due to the washing water W decreases, so that the lever portion 21 is turned clockwise by the urging force of the spring 15. (See FIG. 3A). As a result, the ejection member 20 is rotated clockwise and pulled back, and the cleaning water W is supplied to the support piece 20 of the ejection member 20.
Since the water channel is cut off by the outer peripheral surface 20b of a, it is not supplied into the ejection member 20. Therefore, the ejection member 20 is hidden by the support portion 10 b of the support 10, and the cleaning water W does not eject from the ejection port 24.

When removing the sanitary washing device of this embodiment from the toilet 1, the suction cup 11 of the support 10 with respect to the toilet 1 is used.
This is done by releasing the adsorption.

According to this embodiment, since the jetting member 20 can be rotated by the water pressure of the cleaning water W, a power source for the operation of the jetting member 20 is not required, which can contribute to energy saving. Further, according to this example, the support 10 can be disposed below the existing toilet seat 4 by making the support 10 have substantially the same thickness as that between the toilet 1 and the toilet seat 4. The toilet seat can be dispensed with, the cost for mounting the sanitary washing device and its installation can be reduced, and it can be easily attached and detached.

In the above embodiment, the ejection member 2
Although the cleaning water ejection angle is set by inclining 0, the cleaning water ejection angle may be set by inclining the ejection port 24 (FIG. 5).
