Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cleaning and drying a human body part. (Conventional technology) Conventional methods for cleaning and drying a human body part are described in, for example,
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 5435, after washing water is sprayed on a human body part, warm air is blown on the human body part. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the residue of the washing water is attached to the human body part as water droplets. However, since these water droplets have increased in volume due to surface tension, the hot air is simply blown away. There was a problem that it did not dry quickly just by spraying. Therefore, the present invention reduces the surface tension of water droplets,
An object of the present invention is to dry a human body part in a short time. [Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The technical measures taken in the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems are as follows: washing water is injected into a human body local part to wash the human body local part. A method for cleaning / drying a human body part comprising a first step, a second step of injecting a surface tension reducing liquid to the human body part, and a third step of blowing hot air to the human body part is constituted. (Operation) In this configuration, before the hot air is blown on the human body part, the residue of the washing water adhering to the human body part is reduced in surface tension and almost no water droplets can be maintained in the toilet bowl. Therefore, the amount of the washing water adhering to the human body part becomes small. Therefore, if warm air is blown onto the human body in such a state, the human body quickly dries. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In a single drawing, the human body cleaning / drying device 10
Includes a cleaning nozzle 11. When using the cleaning nozzle 11,
Well-known means (electric drive means or hydraulic means) are used to extend into the toilet (not shown).
When the cleaning nozzle 11 stops at a predetermined position in the toilet, the ejection hole 11a formed at the tip of the cleaning nozzle 11
It aims at the anus of the user M sitting on top. The cleaning nozzle 11 is provided in a first passage in which a first solenoid valve 13 is provided.
A first tank 17 for storing washing water and a second tank 18 for storing a surface tension reducing liquid (a surfactant) are connected via a second passage 16 in which a 14 and a second solenoid valve 15 are provided. Thus, the first tank 17 (second tank 18) and the first auxiliary tank 19 storing cold water (the second auxiliary tank 19 storing
A first pump 21 (second pump 2)
2) is interposed. At the rear of the toilet, a drying device 23 for blowing hot air onto the anus of the user M is installed, and a first auxiliary tank 19 (second auxiliary tank 20) and a first pump 21 (second pump 21) are provided. 22), the first tank 17 (second tank 18) and the second solenoid valve 13 (second solenoid valve 15) constitute a first washing water supply mechanism 39 (second washing water supply mechanism 40). The first solenoid valve 13, the second solenoid valve 15, the first pump 21, the second pump 22, and the drying device 23 operate under the control of the control device 30 in the form of a microcomputer, and operate as follows. Eggplant That is, when the cleaning switch 32 on the panel 31 is turned on, the first solenoid valve 13 is opened and the first pump 21 is driven at the same time. Then, the cold water in the first auxiliary tank 19 that has been pressure-fed to the first tank 17 pushes the washing water in the first tank 17 to the washing nozzle 11 through the first passage 14. The washing water thus supplied to the washing nozzle 11 is supplied to the user M through the hole 11a.
It is jetted toward the anus. This injection is stopped when any one of the speed drying switch 33, the drying switch 34, and the stop switch 35 is turned on. When the speed drying switch 33 is turned on, the first solenoid valve
13 is closed and the first pump 21 stops. Thereafter, the second pump 22 is driven at the same time when the second solenoid valve 15 is opened. Then, the surface tension reducing liquid in the second auxiliary tank 20 that has been pressure-fed to the second tank 18 pushes the surface tension reducing liquid in the second tank 18 to the cleaning nozzle 11 through the second passage 16. The surface tension reducing liquid thus supplied to the cleaning nozzle 11 is sprayed from the hole 11a toward the anus of the user M. Thus, when the surface tension reducing liquid is sprayed onto the anus of the user M, the surface tension of the cleaning water residue adhering to the anus and forming water droplets decreases, so that the cleaning water adhering to the anus is reduced. Most of the residue falls into the toilet. Thereafter, when the drying switch 34 is turned on, the drying device 23 is operated, and the warm air is blown on the anus whose water content is low, so that the anus is quickly dried. If the stop switch 35 is turned on with the end of the drying of the anus, the drying device 23 stops and the washing nozzle 11
Returns to its original position, and all operations are completed. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, before blowing hot air onto the human body local part, the surface tension of the cleaning water residue attached to the human body local part is reduced, so that the cleaning is performed. Most of the water residue falls into the toilet without keeping the water droplet shape, and the amount of the cleaning water adhering to the human body part becomes small. Therefore, by blowing hot air to the human body in such a state, the human body can be quickly dried.
