Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a local cleaning device for cleaning a local part of a human body by injecting hot water into the local part, and more particularly, to performing a soft cleaning in local cleaning. For technology.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there has been known a local cleaning apparatus for cleaning by spraying hot water onto a local part of a human body. As the conventional local cleaning device, for example, when the nozzle is extended and contracted in the toilet and the storage position, the anal cleaning position, and the bidet cleaning position are selected, when the nozzle projects to the anal cleaning position, Hot water was sprayed from an injection hole provided in the nozzle toward one point of the anus to wash the anus. Also, in this one,
Similarly, even at the bidet washing position, bidet washing was performed by injecting hot water toward one point. That is, in the conventional example, the cleaning is performed by the so-called one-point centralized cleaning method.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, there is a problem that the cleaning range is narrow because the cleaning is performed at one point, and the cleaning feeling is not soft because the cleaning is performed at one point. .

In order to widen the cleaning range, there is an amplitude cleaning method for water using a fluid element. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-95501, when a nozzle is extended and contracted, a liquid element is provided at the tip of the nozzle when cleaning at an anal cleaning position or a bidet cleaning position, and a human body such as an anus to be cleaned with a fluid element is used. No. 6,087,067 discloses an apparatus for performing amplitude cleaning of hot water while reciprocatingly jetting hot water within a local width. However, in the case of the fluid element, there is a problem that a difference in amplitude distance easily occurs due to a water pressure.

Therefore, in the method of expanding and contracting the nozzle, for example, it is conceivable to perform reciprocating cleaning by reciprocating a small distance in the direction of expansion and contraction at the anal cleaning position. There is a problem that the cleaning efficiency is poor because only the cleaning is performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the conventional example, and its purpose is to be able to extend the cleaning width in anal cleaning or bidet cleaning, and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a local cleaning device capable of improving a cleaning effect by changing a cleaning angle.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the problems of the conventional example and achieve the object of the present invention, the local cleaning device of the present invention comprises: A swing nozzle arm 2 is provided at the position C so as to be swingably rotatable, and a reciprocating means for reciprocating a small distance in the swing direction from the anal cleaning position B to the bidet cleaning position C is provided.

Here, the reciprocating means for reciprocating the swing nozzle arm 2 is preferably a stepping motor 3.

[Operation] Then, the nozzle arm 2 for swing is located at the anal cleaning position B to the bidet cleaning position C, and the hot water is locally moved while the nozzle arm 2 for swing is slightly reciprocated by the reciprocating means in the swing direction. By injecting toward
The cleaning width can be increased, and cleaning can be performed by spraying while changing the cleaning angle by reciprocating motion.
