Description

  The present invention relates to a bathroom cleaning device for cleaning dirt in the vicinity of a bathroom washroom and a bathroom unit including the same.

  Dirt in the bathroom includes debris such as soap and shampoo used to clean the human body, and dirt generated from the human body (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, salts, etc.). It takes a lot of work to do.

  For this reason, a cleaning device has been proposed for suppressing the occurrence of slime in a bathtub or a washing place while removing these stains (see Patent Document 1). However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the cleaning nozzle is attached at a high place in the bathroom. Therefore, in the vicinity of the washing place located under the bathroom and generating a lot of dirt, there is a possibility that the washing water is weakened and the washing becomes insufficient. In particular, the area under the counter in the bathroom was a blind spot, and it was not possible to clean or eject a detergent containing chemicals such as ozone.

  Moreover, since chemicals such as ozone are mixed with detergent, the effect may be reduced. And since the detergent containing the drug is finally washed away with water, there is a possibility that the duration of the sterilization effect may be shortened, and it is necessary to add an antibacterial agent to the member constituting the surface of the bathtub or the washing place. .

On the other hand, a technique has been proposed in which a nozzle is provided below the bathroom and sterilizing functional water is sprayed on the bathroom wash area (see Patent Document 2). However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2, organic substances such as dirt and soap residue remaining in the washing place and the sterilizing functional water may be chemically bonded to reduce the effectiveness of the sterilizing functional water. In addition, it was difficult to clean the entire vicinity of the bathroom washing area, including the lower part of the counter, and to spray sterilized functional water.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Drawing 1 is a mimetic diagram for explaining a bathroom unit provided with a bathroom washing device concerning a 1st embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a piping system diagram of the water discharge portion.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom 3 of the bathroom unit includes a water discharge unit 1, a bathtub 4, a washing floor 5, a counter 6, a mirror 7, and the like of a bathroom cleaning device. In addition, a faucet, a shower hose, a hot water supply control panel, etc. (not shown) are appropriately provided.
The counter 6 is disposed directly above the washing floor 5 and below the faucet body to which a shower hose (not shown) disposed above the flange surface of the bathtub 4 is connected. In general, there is an accessory stand for placing accessories such as shampoo above the flange surface of the bathtub 4, but the counter 6 in this specification is different. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the counter 6 is larger than the accessory table and has a space for storing not only small items such as shampoo but also a wash basin and other items necessary for washing the human body.
The water discharger 1 is provided below the counter 6. As shown in FIG. 2, a sterilizing water generating means 12 and a washing water generating means 13 provided outside the bathroom 3 are connected to the water discharge unit 1 in parallel. Further, an opening / closing valve 8 is connected to the sterilizing water generating means 12, and an opening / closing valve 16 is connected to the cleaning water generating means 13, and the opening / closing valve 8 and the opening / closing valve 16 are connected to a check valve 17. . The check valve 17 is connected to the water pipe 9.

  Here, the lower side of the counter 6 is between the back surface of the counter 6 and the upper surface of the washing floor 5 and between the protruding end (front surface end) of the counter 6 and the support end (bathroom wall surface) of the counter 6. The space area formed in

The sterilizing water generator 12, the on-off valve 8, the washing water generator 13, and the on-off valve 16 are electrically connected to the control unit 2 provided outside the bathroom 3, and control of water discharge described later with a signal from the control unit 2. In addition, generation of sterilizing water and generation of cleaning water can be performed.
The check valve 17 can prevent water from flowing from the water pipe 9 into the sterilizing water generating means 12 and the washing water generating means 13 but mixing the generated sterilizing water and washing water into the water pipe 9 side. It is connected in a direction that allows it.

  The check valve 17 may be connected to hot water supply means (not shown) so that hot water can be discharged. By doing so, decomposition and peeling off of organic substances and the like are promoted, so that the cleaning effect can be further enhanced. In the present specification, the term “water” includes not only cold water but also hot water.

Examples of the cleaning water generated by the cleaning water generating unit 13 include ozone water in which ozone gas is dissolved in water, acidic water obtained by electrolysis of water, alkaline water, and the like.
Among these, ozone water is effective not only in efficiently decomposing and removing organic substances such as dirt adhered to a washing place, but also in sterilizing.

FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view for illustrating an ozone water generating means 31 that can be used as the cleaning water generating means 13.
The gas mixing chamber 32 provided in the ozone water generating means 31 is provided with a bubble dispersion mechanism 33, and gas is mixed into the water supplied from the liquid pipe 34 by the bubble dispersion mechanism 33. Refinement, dispersion, and mixing are performed simultaneously. The bubble dispersion mechanism 33 is provided with a gas chamber 35, and ozone is supplied to the gas chamber 35 from a gas introduction pipe line 36. The liquid pipe 34 is connected to the water pipe 9 via the on-off valve 16 and the check valve 17. In addition, an ozone supply means (not shown) is connected to the gas introduction line 36. In the present embodiment, the supply of ozone to the ozone water generating means 31 is controlled by controlling the opening / closing valve (not shown) by the control unit 2.

  In addition, acidic water is effective in efficiently stripping off soap residue adhering to a washing place and the like, and alkaline water is effective in efficiently removing sebum dirt adhering to the washing place and the like.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view for illustrating a water generating means 41 that can be used as the cleaning water generating means 13.
The water creation means 41 generates acidic water and alkaline water by electrolyzing water. The alkaline water outlet pipe 42 and the acidic water outlet pipe 43 derived from the water generating means 41 are connected to the three-way switching valve 44, and the other end of the three-way switching valve 44 is connected to the water discharge unit 1. That is, either acidic water or alkaline water can be discharged from the water discharger 1 by switching the three-way switching valve 44.

  The casing 45 provided in the water generating means 41 is partitioned into an alkaline water generation chamber 47 and an acidic water generation chamber 48 by a diaphragm 46, and each of the generation chambers 47 and 48 includes stainless steel or An electrode (cathode) 49 made of carbon or the like and an electrode (anode) 51 made of stainless steel, platinum, titanium oxide or the like are disposed. The acidic water generation chamber 48 is connected so that the acidic water outlet pipe 43 communicates, and the alkaline water generation chamber 47 is connected so that the alkaline water outlet pipe 42 communicates. The introduction pipe 55 is connected to the water pipe 9 via the on-off valve 16 and the check valve 17.

  The leading ends of the electric wires 52 and 53 led out from the electrodes 49 and 51 are connected to a power source 54 so that a voltage can be applied between the electrodes 49 and 51 from the power source 54.

  And by this voltage application, water is electrolyzed, PH value of the alkaline water production | generation chamber 47 becomes high, and alkaline water is produced | generated. On the other hand, the PH value in the acidic water generation chamber 48 is lowered, and acidic water is generated.

  Note that the method is not limited to the generation of cleaning water by these methods. For example, cleaning water (for example, a concentrated solution), a medicine, or the like is generated in advance, and this is appropriately supplied with a pump or the like. Also good. In the present embodiment, in the ozone water generating unit 31 and the water generating unit 41, the control unit 2 performs control such as switching of the three-way switching valve 44, ON / OFF of the power supply 54, and output adjustment. In addition, when charging preliminarily generated washing water (for example, concentrated solution) or medicine, etc., is input, the control unit 2 controls the input means such as a pump.

  As sterilizing water produced | generated by the sterilizing water production | generation means 12, the water containing a bactericidal substance or ion can be illustrated. Specifically, free chlorine, antibacterial metals (eg, silver, copper, zinc, etc.) or their ions, ozone, ozone-containing water, combined chlorine, organochlorine-based disinfectant, organophosphate-based disinfectant, veloxocarbonate ion Or the salt, alcoholic disinfectant, etc. can be mentioned.

  Such sterilizing water can be generated using, for example, an electrolysis method. Specifically, when producing sterilizing water containing silver ions, a pair of electrodes made of silver are provided opposite to each other in the elution tube, and a predetermined current is supplied from the power source to this. be able to. Moreover, free chlorine containing water can be produced | generated by electrolyzing the water (for example, tap water) containing a chlorine ion using the electrode for chlorine generation. In addition, it is not necessarily limited to the production | generation of the sterilization water by an electrolysis method, For example, you may produce | generate sterilization water (for example, concentrate) and a chemical | medical agent previously, and throw this in with a pump etc. suitably. Good. In the case of using the electrolysis method, the control unit 2 performs control such as power ON / OFF and output adjustment, and in the case of supplying pre-generated sterilizing water or the like, control of the input means such as a pump. Is done.

  In addition, it is possible to discharge only water such as tap water without operating the washing water generating means 13 and the sterilizing water generating means 12. In this case, as will be described later, if water droplets from the nozzle holes are directly applied to the entire surface to be cleaned, and the water force is maximized, cleaning can be performed even when only tap water or the like is discharged. it can. Therefore, in this specification, “washing water” includes “water” such as tap water as well as ozone water, acidic water, and alkaline water.

  Here, the bathroom cleaning apparatus as disclosed in Patent Document 2 merely discharges sterilized water toward a washing place or the like. However, organic soil such as soap scum, sebum, and dirt remains in the washing area, etc. Even if sterilizing water is sprinkled in that state, there is a risk that the organic substance and the sterilizing component will chemically bond and the effectiveness may be reduced. was there.

If the inventor can effectively remove organic dirt as a result of the examination, the effect of sterilizing water discharged thereafter can be sufficiently exerted, and microbial dirt such as slime and pink dirt can be effectively suppressed. I learned that I can do it.
According to the knowledge obtained by the present inventor, in order to remove organic contaminants adhering to a flat surface such as a washing place, water droplets from the nozzle holes are directly applied to the entire surface to be cleaned. It is important to satisfy the two points of maximizing the water force. This is because the attached organic dirt cannot be removed simply by contact with water, and the striking force when water hits the organic dirt is important for removal.

  Here, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the water discharger is attached to a high place in the bathroom. Therefore, in the vicinity of a washing place that is located below the bathroom and often generates dirt, the water flow of the washing water may be weakened and the washing may be insufficient. However, if the water discharge section 1 is provided near the washing area (below the counter 6 in the case shown in FIG. 1), the water landing distance to the floor surface is shorter than the ceiling, so water droplets can be directly maintained while maintaining the water force. Can be applied to organic stains. As a result, it is possible to fully enjoy the physical action of peeling off dirt by applying washing water.

  In addition, in the water discharge from the ceiling, the lower part of the counter 6 becomes a blind spot, and the washing water and the sterilizing water could not be discharged. However, the water discharge part 1 is placed near the washing place (below the counter 6 in the case shown in FIG. 1). If provided, water can be discharged downward from the counter 6.

  Here, in consideration of the water landing distance to the floor surface in the vicinity of the washing place, the water discharger 1 may be provided in the space of the bathroom 3 below the lower surface of the counter 6. For example, the water discharge part 1 can also be provided in the apron part 4a of the bathtub 4. However, in consideration of human body washing at the time of bathing on the washing floor 5, it is preferable to provide the water discharger 1 below the counter 6 that does not get in the way.

  The mounting height of the water discharger 1 below the counter 6 can be selected as appropriate. Here, if the water discharge distance from the water discharge part 1 may be short (if the bathroom is narrow), the mounting height of the water discharge part 1 can be lowered to some extent. However, when the distance is long (when the bathroom is wide), it is preferable to increase the height of the water discharger 1 from the viewpoint of surely reaching the water discharge. In this case, the water discharger 1 can be attached to the back surface of the counter 6 so as to be in contact therewith. At that time, the space below the counter 6 can be used, for example, as a space for putting a foot when washing a human body at the time of bathing, a space for placing a shampoo, a basin or the like. In addition, it enables it to adjust the attachment height of the water discharging part 1, and can also set it according to the bathroom installed.

  The attachment position in the depth dimension direction of the water discharger 1 below the counter 6 can also be selected as appropriate. Here, it is preferable to provide the water discharger 1 at a position retracted from the protruding end (front end) of the counter 6 so as not to protrude from the protruding end. By doing so, it is possible to suppress interference with the human body during washing of the human body at the time of bathing, and it is excellent in appearance because there is no complicated feeling. In addition, it enables it to adjust the attachment position of the water discharging part 1, and can also set according to the counter 6 of the bathroom installed.

  In addition, a mirror 7 and a shower / water tap (not shown) are usually provided above the counter 6. Tap water or hot water scatters over this, and when it dries, scales remain as white spots. In particular, if the glossy mirror 7 or a shower / water tap (not shown) gets dirty, it becomes annoying. Further, if cleaning water or sterilizing water adheres to the mirror 7 or a metal shower / water tap (not shown), for example, sterilizing water containing silver may be darkened, and ozone containing one may corrode. Since the water discharger 1 according to the present embodiment is provided below the counter 6, the counter 6 suppresses scattering of extra tap water, hot water, washing water, and sterilizing water, and generation of scale, darkening, and corrosion occurs. Can be suppressed.

The water discharge part 1 is provided with a nozzle hole 1a. Here, although it is possible to provide only one nozzle hole 1a capable of water discharge toward the entire washing area, a plurality of nozzle holes 1a are provided so that appropriate water discharge is performed for each nozzle hole 1a. You can also For example, the water pressure of the nozzle hole 1a responsible for the object to be washed away from the water discharge unit 1 is increased so that the water force does not drop even at a distance, or water is not discharged from all the nozzle holes at the same time. It is also possible to make water discharge. In this case, if water is discharged sequentially from the predetermined nozzle holes, the water pressure can be maintained higher than when water is discharged from all the nozzle holes at the same time. In such a case, it is also possible to easily guide the sewage to the drainage port by discharging water first from the nozzle hole 1a responsible for the object to be cleaned far from the drainage port of the washing floor 5.
Moreover, when providing a some nozzle hole, it is preferable to consider the water force of each nozzle hole, the amount of water discharge, and the cleaning range which it takes into account by the distance from the discharge part 10 to the surface to be cleaned.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the relationship between the distance from the water discharger to the cleaning target and the state of water discharge. FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram when the state of water discharge is seen from the side of the washing place, FIG. 5B is a schematic view when the state of water discharge is seen from above the washing place, and FIG. It is a schematic diagram for demonstrating the injection angle of water discharge.
As shown in FIG. 5, since the water discharge distance is short in the vicinity of the cleaning target X, the attenuation of the water force is small, and the collision angle of the water discharge against the dirt can be increased (the water discharge is performed from a direction substantially perpendicular to the dirt). Done). Therefore, the dirt in the vicinity of the water discharger is relatively easy to remove.
On the other hand, in the far cleaning object Z, the water discharge distance is long, so the attenuation of the water force is large, and the collision angle of the water discharge against the dirt is also small (water discharge is performed from a substantially horizontal direction with respect to the dirt). Therefore, the more distant the water discharger is, the more difficult it is to remove.
As a result of the study, the present inventor has obtained knowledge that distant dirt that is difficult to remove can be removed by increasing the amount of water discharged per unit area in the distance from the amount of water discharged in the vicinity. Further, in this case, the area of the cleaning range that the neighboring nozzle holes are responsible for can be increased.
Therefore, it is preferable to distribute the water discharge amount and the water flow of each nozzle in consideration of the distance from the water discharge portion, the water discharge amount, the area of the cleaning range of each nozzle hole, and the like. For example, such distribution can be adjusted by the total opening area of each nozzle hole. The total opening area of the nozzle holes can be adjusted by the area of the nozzle holes themselves, the number of nozzle holes, a combination of the area of the nozzle holes themselves and the number of nozzle holes, or the like. At this time, if the cleaning range of each nozzle is subdivided, the above-described distribution condition range is narrowed, so that adjustment becomes easy.
The example illustrated in FIG. 5 is a case where the cleaning range of each nozzle is divided into three. In this case, the nozzle hole responsible for the nearby cleaning object X reduces the amount of water discharged per unit area and increases the area of the cleaning range. Even if it does so, since the amount of discharged water is small and the area of a washing | cleaning range is large, it can supplement by a strong water force and the collision angle of discharged water, Therefore A washing | cleaning effect does not fall.
In addition, the nozzle hole responsible for the distant object Z to be cleaned increases the amount of water discharged per unit area and reduces the area of the cleaning range. In this case, since the weakness of the water flow and the collision angle of the discharged water are small, it can be compensated by increasing the amount of discharged water and reducing the area of the cleaning range, so that the cleaning effect does not deteriorate.
Moreover, about the nozzle which handles between the vicinity and a distant place, the amount of water discharge and the area of the washing range to handle are made into the thing for near and far. This portion has a strong water flow to some extent and can also increase the collision angle of the water discharge to some extent. Therefore, even if the amount of water discharge is reduced compared to that for distant use and the area of the cleaning range is increased to some extent, the cleaning effect does not deteriorate.
That is, the closer the object to be cleaned that the nozzle hole is responsible to is to the water discharge part, the larger the area of the cleaning range can be.
Moreover, about the area of a washing | cleaning range, it is preferable to consider the injection angle of discharged water.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C, the water discharge angle θ1 from the nozzle hole responsible for the nearby cleaning target X and the water discharge from the nozzle hole responsible for the cleaning target Y between the vicinity and the distant place. Is preferably θ1>θ2> θ3. The relationship between the jetting angle θ2 of the nozzle and the jetting angle θ3 of the water discharged from the nozzle hole responsible for the distant object Z to be cleaned is preferably θ1>θ2> θ3. If all the injection angles are equal, the area of the cleaning range increases as the object to be cleaned becomes farther, so the amount of water discharged per unit area decreases, and it becomes impossible to effectively remove dirt. Because there is a fear.
Note that the number of divisions and the conditions of each nozzle illustrated in FIG. 5 are not limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate.

6-8 is a schematic diagram for demonstrating the form of a nozzle hole.
6A illustrates a nozzle hole for cleaning a far surface to be cleaned, and FIG. 6B illustrates a nozzle hole for cleaning a nearby surface to be cleaned. is there. As described above, if the nozzle hole area Sb for the vicinity is made larger than the nozzle hole area Sa for the distance, the water force in the nozzle hole for the distance where the water force tends to drop can be increased.

  7A illustrates a nozzle hole that is responsible for cleaning a large area, and FIG. 7B illustrates a nozzle hole that is responsible for cleaning a relatively small area. Thus, if the nozzle hole area Sd for small area and the pipe area Sf are made smaller than the nozzle hole area Sc for large area and the pipe area Se thereof, the amount of water discharged in the nozzle hole for large area Can be increased.

  FIG. 8A illustrates a nozzle hole for performing cone-shaped water discharge, and FIG. 8B illustrates a nozzle hole for performing fan-shaped water discharge. Thus, optimal water discharge and washing can be performed by changing the form of water discharge. For example, if a nozzle that performs fan-shaped water discharge shown in FIG. 8B is rotationally moved, a wider area can be efficiently cleaned. In addition, the form of water discharge is not necessarily limited to these, It can select suitably by changing the opening shape of a nozzle hole.

  As the on-off valves 8 and 16, for example, electromagnetic valves can be exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may have a throttle means for controlling the flow rate and a pressure control means for controlling the pressure. The cleaning effect can also be enhanced by intermittently discharging water by opening and closing the electromagnetic valve, changing the water discharge time, or switching the water discharge pressure level intermittently.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic timing chart for explaining opening / closing timings of the on-off valves 8 and 16.

  The upper diagram of FIG. 9 shows the opening / closing timing of the on-off valve 16 (the on-off valve on the cleaning water generating means 13 side), and the lower diagram shows the opening / closing timing of the on-off valve 8 (the on-off valve on the sterilizing water generating means 12 side). Represents. The horizontal axis represents time, and water is discharged at the “mountain” portion.

As shown in FIG. 9, when only washing water time T ₁ is discharged, then, during the time T ₂ are discharge is stopped. Then, after that, only time T ₃ sterile water is discharged.
In this case, the length of time T ₁ is twice to four times the length of time T _3. This is in order to surely remove organic dirt. Moreover, the provision of time T ₂ during the spouting of the wash water and the water discharge of the sterilizing water is to ensure the drainage time of the reaction time and wastewater with organic dirt and wash water.

When the time T ₂ is too short, the sterilizing water is discharged before the discharge of sewage, which may be reduced the effect of sterilizing water as described above. Therefore, the time T ₂ are an important factor in terms of sterilizing effect.

Here, if these times are specifically exemplified, the time T ₁ is about 2 to 4 minutes, the time T ₂ is about 30 seconds to about 10 minutes, and the time T ₃ is about 1 minute. it can. However, it is not limited to these times, and can be appropriately changed according to the dirt state, the frequency of cleaning, and the like. As for the time T _2, it is possible to discharge reliable sewage Taking a longer time. However, if the time is too long, the cleaning surface may be dried, causing problems such as the spread of the sterilizing water, and the cleaning operation time becomes longer. Therefore, selecting a time T ₂ so that the majority of the washing water described above taking into account the time until discharged to a discharge port formed on the washing place the floor 5 can spouting of sterile water before the cleaning surface dries It is preferable to do.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic timing chart for explaining the opening / closing timing of the on-off valves 8 and 16.

  The upper diagram of FIG. 10 shows the opening / closing timing of the on-off valve 16 (the on-off valve on the side of the cleaning water generating means 13), and the lower diagram shows the opening / closing timing of the on-off valve 8 (the on-off valve on the sterilizing water generating means 12 side). Represents. The horizontal axis represents time, and water is discharged at the “mountain” portion.

As shown in FIG. 10, when only washing water time T ₁ is discharged, then, during the time T ₂ are discharge is stopped. Then, after that, only time T ₃ sterile water is discharged.

As shown in figure 10, intermittent water discharge of the washing water during the time T ₁ (as shown in figure 10 is 4 times the water discharge) is to perform to. By setting it as such intermittent water discharge, an impact is applied to organic dirt and the cleaning effect can be enhanced. In addition, by using intermittent water discharge, the removed dirt is appropriately discharged to a drain outlet formed on the washing floor 5 so that residual dust after the organic substance removal step (can be removed from the washing floor 5). Dirt that has not been discharged) is reduced. In addition, it is not necessarily limited to the number of water discharges shown in the figure, and can be appropriately changed according to the dirt state, the frequency of cleaning, and the like. It is also possible to perform cleaning while intermittently changing the water discharge pressure.

  In addition, in order to enhance the cleaning effect and sterilizing effect, it is possible to spout a large amount of cleaning water from sterilizing water, sprinkle cleaning water from sterilizing water for a long time, or increase the flow rate of cleaning water from sterilizing water. It is preferable to control the on-off valves 8 and 16 so as to be able to do so.

  In addition, it is preferable to discharge the cleaning water a plurality of times with a predetermined time interval (repeat water discharge and water stop). This is because if the time interval is set, the dirt removed while the water is stopped is guided to the drain outlet. That is, if water is constantly discharged, the drainage from the washing floor 5 becomes stagnant and water accumulates, and the removed dirt may not be discharged. Therefore, it is preferable to stop the water appropriately and drain the water containing the removed dirt from the drain outlet.

  The control unit 2 is electrically connected to input means (not shown) provided outside the bathroom, for example, in a dressing room. When the operator inputs the start / end of cleaning, each water discharge time, the number of intermittent discharges, switching of water / hot water / washing water / sterilizing water, switching of the cleaning mode, etc. to this input means, the control unit 2 Water discharge is controlled. Here, the cleaning mode can be exemplified by selecting an optimal one from predetermined cleaning steps. As the predetermined cleaning process, for example, a cleaning process in which the start / end of cleaning, each water discharge time, the number of intermittent discharges, switching between water, warm water, cleaning water, and sterilizing water can be exemplified. . And these can be programmed beforehand and it can be made to store in the memory | storage means of the control part 2 as a washing | cleaning mode. The input means does not need to be able to input all of these, and may be one that can set the start / end of cleaning and each water discharge time, for example.

Next, the effect | action of the water discharging part 1 is demonstrated.
For example, when the operator inputs the start of washing, each water discharge time, etc. to an input means (not shown) after bathing, the signal is sent to the control section 2, and the control section 2 sends the sterilizing water generating means 12, the on-off valve 8. Control of washing water generation means 13, on-off valve 16 and the like is performed. For example, as an organic substance removing step for removing organic matter such as soap scum and sebum adhering on the washing floor surface 5 by sprinkling washing water over substantially the entire washing floor surface 5 of the bathroom 3, the solenoid valve that is the on-off valve 16. Thus, the tap water flow path is opened, the tap water is supplied to the cleaning water generating means 13, and the cleaning water generating means 13 turns the tap water into cleaning water such as ozone water, acidic water, alkaline water or the like. The water is discharged from. Then, the flow path of the tap water washing closed ends by an electromagnetic valve when the timeout is T _1, which is set. As described above, mere water can be discharged, or warm water can be used.

Then, after a predetermined time T _2, as bacteriostatic step to dwell sterilizing water on washing place floor 5 by spouting the sterilizing water to the washing area floor 5 bathroom 3, a closing valve 8 Electromagnetic The tap water channel is opened by the valve, the tap water is supplied to the sterilizing water generating means 12, and the sterilizing water generating means 12 discharges the tap water from the nozzle hole 1a as sterilizing water such as silver ion water. . Then, the flow path of the tap water is sterilized closed ends by an electromagnetic valve when the timeout is T ₃ that is set.
Here, even if the sterilizing water is spouted in a state in which a large amount of washing water remains on the washing floor 5 (residual water), the sterilizing water is immediately diluted with the residual water, and together with the residual water for a short time. Will be discharged to the drain. Therefore, the predetermined time T ₂ are, after the organic substance removing step is performed, most of the flush water spouted in organic substance removing step, that needs to be discharged to the drainage port formed on the washing place floor 5 It is preferable to set the time or longer. By doing so, since the sterilizing water is discharged after the amount of residual water is low, the dilution can be suppressed and the time until it is discharged to the drainage port can be increased, thereby improving the sterilizing effect. Because it can.
Moreover, it is preferable that the total water discharge amount of the wash water discharged in the organic substance removing step is larger than the total water discharge amount of the sterilizing water discharged in the antibacterial step. Moreover, it is preferable that the time required to execute the organic substance removing step is longer than the time required to execute the antimicrobial step. This is because if sufficient organic substances are not removed, the bactericidal effect may be reduced.
Further, according to the knowledge obtained by the present inventor, in order to remove dirt adhered on a flat surface such as a washing place, water droplets from the nozzle holes are directly applied to the entire surface to be cleaned. It is important to satisfy the two points of maximizing the water power. This is because the adhered dirt cannot be removed simply by touching water, and the striking force when water hits the dirt is important for removal. For this reason, in the organic matter removing step, it is preferable that water is discharged so that the water droplets of the discharged cleaning water directly hit almost the entire wash floor 5.
Here, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the water discharger is attached to a high place in the bathroom. Therefore, in the vicinity of a washing place that is located under the bathroom and often generates dirt, the water flow rate of the discharged water may be weakened and cleaning may be insufficient. However, if the water discharge part 1 is provided near the washing place (below the counter 6 in the case shown in FIG. 1) as in the present invention, the water landing distance to the floor surface is shorter than the ceiling, so Water droplets can be directly applied to the dirt while keeping it. As a result, it is possible to fully enjoy the physical action of peeling off dirt by applying washing water.
Further, in the water discharge from the ceiling, the lower part of the counter 6 becomes a blind spot and water or sterilizing water could not be discharged, but the water discharge part 1 is provided in the vicinity of the washing place (below the counter 6 in the case shown in FIG. 1). If it is assumed, it is possible to discharge water below the counter 6 or sterilizing water.
Here, in consideration of the water landing distance to the floor surface in the vicinity of the washing place, the water discharger 1 may be provided in the space of the bathroom 3 below the back surface of the counter 6. For example, the water discharge part 1 can also be provided on the flange surface of the bathtub 4. However, in consideration of human body washing at the time of bathing on the washing floor 5, it is preferable to provide the water discharger 1 below the counter 6 that does not get in the way.
Further, in the organic matter removing process, the water discharged from the washing water is performed so that a flow toward the drain outlet is formed, and in the antibacterial process, the water discharged from the sterilized washing water is formed in a direction opposite to the drain outlet. It is preferable to be performed as described. This is to improve the sterilization effect by increasing the sterilization water retention time and the sterilization water retention time.
Moreover, in the organic substance removal step, it is preferable that the amount of water discharged per unit time of the wash water discharged is larger than the amount of water discharged per unit time of the sterilizing water discharged in the sterilization step. This is because the sterilizing effect may be reduced unless sufficient organic matter is removed.
In the bacteriostatic process, the sterilizing water is preferably discharged in a mist form. This is to improve the bactericidal effect.

  In addition, by selecting the above-mentioned cleaning mode, for example, changing the water discharge pressure, water discharge amount, water discharge order of multiple nozzle holes, intermittent water discharge, cleaning with warm water, etc. It can also be washed.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram for explaining a bathroom cleaning apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig.11 (a) is a model perspective view of a bathroom cleaning apparatus, FIG.11 (b) is a model enlarged view of a water discharging part.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to what was demonstrated in FIG. 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
The dirt in the bathroom is located in the vicinity of the counter 6 where human body washing is performed at the time of bathing, particularly in the part of the bathroom located directly above the washing floor 5 and below the back of the counter 6. Likely to happen.

  In this Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the nozzle for discharging water toward the apron part 11 separately from the nozzle hole 1a for discharging water toward the water-washing part floor 5 at the water discharging part 10 A hole 1b and a nozzle hole 1c for discharging water toward the back surface of the counter 6 are separately provided. Therefore, it is possible to reliably and effectively clean and sterilize the part in the bathroom located below the back surface of the counter 6 where the contamination is likely to occur. In addition, a nozzle wall for cleaning the bathroom wall surface below the counter 6, the bathroom wall surface on the opposite side, and the bathroom wall surface on the side facing the apron portion 11 is also provided below the back surface of the counter 6. You may make it wash | clean and disinfect the whole area in the bathroom located. Moreover, the nozzle hole 1a and the combination of these nozzle holes can also be selected suitably. In this case, it is possible to provide all the nozzle holes in the water discharger 10 and plug the nozzle holes that are not necessary according to the installed bathroom.

  Further, as described above, it is preferable to determine the total opening area of each nozzle based on the area of the surface to be cleaned. That is, if the area of the surface to be cleaned is small, the amount of water discharged for cleaning and sterilization is small, so the total opening area of that part is reduced to reduce the amount of water discharged, and the area of the surface to be cleaned is wider It is preferable to allow a larger amount of water discharge to the nozzle hole. In this case, for example, the diameter of the nozzle hole 1c for cleaning and sterilizing the back surface of the counter 6 having a small area is reduced, and the diameter of the nozzle hole 1a for cleaning and sterilizing the large washing area floor surface 5 is increased. Alternatively, it is possible to determine the total opening area of the nozzle holes by increasing the number of nozzle holes 1a than the number of nozzle holes 1c, or by combining the opening area of the nozzle holes and the number of nozzle holes.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, even if it adds a water discharge direction and increases a to-be-cleaned surface, since the water discharging part 10 is provided under the counter 6, extra water, warm water, washing water, Spattering of the sterilizing water is suppressed, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of water scale, darkening, corrosion and the like in the mirror 7 provided above the counter 6.

  In addition, the back surface of the counter 6 which cannot be cleaned and sterilized by the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be cleaned and sterilized by providing the nozzle hole 1c.

  Further, as described above, dirt in the bathroom is likely to occur in a portion located below the back surface of the counter 6. With respect to such dirt, the technique of providing a water discharge portion at a high place as disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not allow the water flow to be weakened and does not allow water discharge facing the cleaning surface, which is reliable and efficient. Cleansing and sterilization could not be performed. In the present embodiment, since the nozzle hole is provided so as to face a portion located below the back surface of the counter 6 where dirt is likely to occur, a place with much dirt inside the bathroom is reliably and efficiently washed. Can be sterilized.

  About the effect | action of the water discharging part 10, since it is the same as that of what was demonstrated in FIG. 1, description is abbreviate | omitted. However, the amount of water discharge can be switched as the water discharge direction increases, and the order of water discharge can be selected as appropriate. For example, an on-off valve that controls each nozzle hole is provided, and the back surface of the counter 6 on the upstream side of the sewage flow, the apron 11, and the bathroom wall surface are cleaned first, and then the wash basin on the downstream side of the sewage flow The floor surface 5 can also be cleaned. The same procedure can be taken for sterilization.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram for explaining a bathroom cleaning apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to what was demonstrated in FIG. 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
As shown in FIG. 12, the water discharger 20 is rotatable, and the water discharger 20 is provided with a nozzle hole 20 a for cleaning and sterilizing the washing floor 5. And since the water discharge direction is changed with rotation of the water discharging part 20, the washing | cleaning range moves and it can wash | clean the substantially whole area of the washing-room floor surface 5. FIG.
This is because when water is discharged over a large area, the water force may be weakened if the number of nozzle holes is increased, so that water droplets are applied to substantially the entire area of the washing floor 5 after reducing the number of nozzle holes. In addition, the water discharge section 1 is rotated to increase the cleaning area.

  In this case, the form of water discharge on the surface to be cleaned may be such that the cleaning area as shown in FIG. 1 can be widened. For example, the water discharge is substantially linear on the cleaning surface as shown in FIG. It can also be made into the form of. At this time, if the water discharge has a shape extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the moving direction (rotating direction), a wide cleaning area can be secured by moving (rotating) the nozzle hole 20a. Moreover, since the number of nozzle holes can be reduced if the nozzle hole 20a which can be made into such a form of water discharge is used, it is possible to substantially reduce the water flow while substantially covering the entire area of the washing floor 5. Water droplets can be applied, which is preferable.

  As the nozzle hole 20a in the form of such water discharge, the one shown in FIG. 8B can be exemplified. If a substantially elliptical nozzle hole as shown in FIG. 8B is used, fan-shaped water discharge is performed and a substantially linear water discharge form can be obtained on the cleaning surface. In this case, it is preferable that the dimension of the long diameter is long because water can be discharged from a single nozzle hole over a wide range. On the other hand, the dimension of the short diameter does not need to be long because the water discharger 1 rotates. Rather, since the water flow drops if spread unnecessarily, it is preferable to make a decision based on the balance with running water resistance at the time of water discharge. However, the opening shape of the nozzle is not limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram for explaining the water discharger 20.
As shown in FIG. 13, the water discharger 20 is attached to the back surface of the counter 6. A plurality of nozzle holes 20a are provided in the arm portion 20b of the water discharger 20 so that cleaning water, sterilizing water, and the like can be discharged. The arm portion 20 b is joined and integrated with the base 22 so that it can rotate as the base 22 rotates. Further, the rotation axis of the arm portion 20b is installed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the floor surface of the washing place (substantially perpendicular to the ground). Each nozzle hole 20a is formed so that the water discharge direction is different, and the place / range where the discharged wash water, sterilization water, etc. reach is different. Further, the nozzle hole 20a has an elliptical shape and is provided in such a direction that a major axis exists in a direction of a perpendicular line that intersects the tangential direction of rotation substantially perpendicularly. Therefore, each surface to be cleaned (in this embodiment, the washing floor 5) can be cleaned evenly. In this way, the optimal nozzle hole 20a can be distributed to the washing floor 5 having a large washing area, and water droplets can be directly applied to the dirt while maintaining the water flow. Is preferred.

  Further, in this case, it is preferable that the nozzle hole that discharges water in the distance is smaller than the nozzle hole that discharges water in the vicinity. Since the water discharged to the vicinity can maintain a sufficient water force because the distance from the nozzle hole is short, a sufficient cleaning effect can be obtained even if the water discharge area is enlarged to reduce the water discharge flow rate per unit area. On the other hand, since the water discharged to a distant place is far from the nozzle hole, the water force may be weakened. Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the water discharge region so that the water discharge flow rate per unit area does not become small, and to suppress the deterioration of the cleaning effect.

  When rotating, it is preferable that the tip of the arm portion 20 b does not protrude from the protruding end (front end) of the counter 6. By doing so, it is possible to suppress interference with the human body during washing of the human body at the time of bathing, and it is excellent in appearance because there is no complicated feeling. It should be noted that the attachment position of the water discharge unit 10 can be adjusted, and the setting can be made according to the counter 6 of the bathroom to be installed.

  Further, the water discharger 20 may be provided at a position where water (such as a mirror 7 or a shower / water tap not shown) disposed above the back surface of the counter 6 in the bathroom is not directly discharged. preferable. By doing so, it is possible to prevent water from being directly applied to the surface other than the surface to be cleaned, and to suppress the occurrence of the above-mentioned scale, darkening, corrosion, and the like.

  The number of nozzle holes 20a, the pitch, the opening area, and the direction of water discharge can be appropriately changed according to the conditions of the installed bathroom. Further, for convenience of explanation, the arm portion 20b separated by about 180 ° is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the separation angle and the number of the arm portions 20b can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, although the arm part 20b which has a bending part is illustrated, it may be on the substantially straight line without a bending part, and the angle of a bending part can also be changed suitably.

Furthermore, the structure of the water discharging part 20 is outlined with reference to FIG.
FIG. 14 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the water discharger 20.
As shown in FIG. 14, the head 14 of the water discharge unit 20 has its flange portion 14 b attached to the back surface of the counter 6 via a protective material 15. The head 14 includes a screw portion 14d on the lower outer periphery of the flange portion 14b, and further includes a small-diameter shaft portion 14e below the screw portion 14d. A water supply passage 18 is provided vertically in the head 14, and communication passages 18 a and 18 b are provided at the lower end of the passage 18 so as to be spaced apart from each other by 180 ° and open laterally. ° Opened apart. In the upper part of the water supply passage 18, a passage 18 c for communicating with an external water supply source is provided.

  A base 22 is rotatably mounted on the shaft portion 14e of the head 14. The arm portion 20b has a tubular shape with a closed tip, and is integrally joined to the base 22 at a distance of about 180 ° around the base 22. The arm portion 20b has a bent portion in the vicinity of the intermediate portion, has a tip inclined downward, and has a flow path 20c therein. The flow path 20c communicates with the communication paths 18a and 18b when the base 22 is attached to the shaft portion 14e.

  A flange portion 22d is provided at the upper end of the base 22, and the base 22 is rotatably supported around the shaft portion 14e by being hooked on a cap nut 23 screwed into the screw portion 14d. I have to.

Next, the effect | action of the water discharging part 20 is demonstrated.
Washing water, sterilizing water, and the like supplied from the external water supply source to the passage 18c are supplied to the flow passage 20c through the water supply passage 18 and the communication passages 18a and 18b, and discharged from the nozzle hole 20a. At this time, since the directions of washing water, sterilizing water, and the like discharged from the respective arm portions 20b provided on the target with respect to the rotation axis are reversed, a rotational force is generated due to the reaction force of the discharged water, and the base 22 The (arm portion 20b) rotates around the shaft portion 14e.
Further, for convenience of explanation, the arm portion 20b separated by about 180 ° is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the separation angle and the number of the arm portions 20b can be changed as appropriate. For example, the arm part 20b may be one, may be three or more, and does not need to be arranged symmetrically with respect to the rotation axis.
Moreover, the direction of water discharge does not need to be symmetric with respect to the rotation axis, and it is sufficient that the rotational force around the rotation axis can be obtained by the reaction force generated by water discharge. However, as the direction of water discharge approaches the direction perpendicular to the tangent to the rotation circle, the reaction force due to water discharge decreases, so it is important to set a certain angle. For example, as the direction of water discharge approaches the tangential direction of rotation, the amount of reaction force generated by water discharge increases in amount used for rotation, and as the direction of water discharge approaches the perpendicular direction, the amount used for rotation decreases.
Further, the cleaning ability largely depends on the rotation speed, and the rotation speed can be controlled by the length of the arm portion 20b and the water discharge direction. For example, the rotation speed increases as the water discharge direction approaches the tangential direction of rotation, and the rotation speed decreases as it approaches the perpendicular direction.

  The direction of rotation at this time can be changed as appropriate according to the type of bathroom to be installed, the wash water to be discharged, the type of sterilizing water, and the like. For example, the flow of washing water or the like formed by the rotation of the base 22 (arm portion 20b) can be rotated in a direction that is advantageous for guiding the sewage to the drain outlet side, or the washing water or sterilizing water. If it is better to stay to some extent depending on the type or the like, it can be rotated in a direction that impedes discharge to the drain. In addition, when the floor surface of the washing floor 5 is inclined, the dirt removed by rotating in the direction of the drain outlet along the inclination can be easily discharged, or the floor can be rotated in the direction opposite to the direction of the drain outlet. It is also possible to convect the surface with cleaning water and sterilizing water to make it easier to raise dirt and to enhance the sterilizing effect. Note that the water discharger 20 illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14 has a fixed rotation direction because the position of the nozzle hole 20a is fixed. However, if the position of the nozzle hole 20a can be moved, the rotation direction can be changed. it can.

In this case, the rotation speed is preferably 50 rotations or less per minute. This is because if the rotation speed is too high, the time for the cleaning water to act on the organic dirt becomes insufficient, and the cleaning power (peeling off) may be reduced. That is, it is preferable that the rotational speed of the water discharger 20 is somewhat slow. To reduce the rotation speed while maintaining the flow rate in order to maintain the water flow, a method of increasing the frictional force of the rotating part, a method of adjusting the direction of water discharge from the nozzle hole 20a (when water is discharged in the tangential direction of rotation) The rotation speed becomes faster, and the rotation speed becomes slower as it approaches the perpendicular direction).
Moreover, the rotational speed of the water discharger also changes depending on the change in water pressure. Therefore, in order to keep the water discharger in a substantially constant optimum rotational speed region, it is preferable to provide constant pressure means in the pipe. Examples of the constant pressure means include a constant pressure valve and a constant flow valve.

  Further, the invention according to the present embodiment is not limited to rotation using water discharge force, and may be rotated by an electric motor, for example. In that case, not only the rotation direction can be selected as appropriate, but also a stable rotation operation (rotation speed, rotation angle, etc.) that is not affected by fluctuations in water pressure can be achieved.

FIG. 15 is a schematic view for explaining a bathroom cleaning apparatus according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to what was demonstrated in FIG. 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
The water discharger 30 is rotatable in the same manner as the water discharger 20 illustrated in FIG. 12, and in addition to the nozzle holes 30a for cleaning and sterilizing the wash floor 5, the back surface of the counter 6 is cleaned and sterilized. A nozzle hole 30b is provided. Therefore, it is possible to clean and sterilize the back surface of the counter 6, which is a blind spot and cannot be cleaned and sterilized by the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, while the washing floor 5 is cleaned.

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram for explaining the water discharger 30.
The water discharger 20 described with reference to FIG. 13 is different only in that a nozzle hole 30b for cleaning and sterilizing the back surface of the counter 6 is provided. Here, in general, the washing floor 5 has a larger area than the back of the counter 6. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the total opening area of the nozzle hole 30a and the nozzle hole 30b based on the size of the area of the surface to be cleaned. That is, the back surface of the counter 6 with a small area requires a small amount of water discharged for cleaning, so the total opening area of the nozzle holes 30b is reduced to reduce the amount of water discharged, and the nozzle holes 30a of the washing floor 5 having a large area. It is preferable that a large amount of water discharge can be used.

FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram for illustrating the case where the opening area of the nozzle hole is changed.
The large substantially elliptical opening shown on the left side of FIG. 17 is used for cleaning the washing floor 5 (for example, the nozzle hole 30a in FIG. 16), and the small substantially elliptical opening shown on the right side is used for the back surface of the counter 6 (for example, With the nozzle hole 30b) in FIG. 16, it is possible to determine the water discharge amount according to the difference in the area of the surface to be cleaned. Not only the opening area of the nozzle holes, but also the number of nozzle holes 30a can be made larger than the number of nozzle holes 30b, or the total opening area can be determined by combining the opening area of the nozzle holes and the number of nozzle holes. .

FIG. 18 is a schematic view for explaining a bathroom cleaning apparatus according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to what was demonstrated in FIG. 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
As shown in FIG. 18, the water discharger 40 can swing in the direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing, and the water discharger 40 is provided with a nozzle hole 40 a for cleaning the washing floor 5. Yes. And since the water discharge direction is changed with the swinging of the water discharger 40, the cleaning range moves so that the substantially entire area of the washing floor 5 can be cleaned.

  In this case, the shape of the water discharge on the cleaning surface may be such that the cleaning area as described above can be widened, but for example, a linear water discharge form as shown in FIG. . At this time, if the shape of the water discharge is wide in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of water discharge, a large washing area can be obtained by moving (swinging) the nozzle holes 40a even if the number of nozzle holes 40a is reduced. Can be secured. As the nozzle hole 40a having such a water discharge shape, the one shown in FIG. 8B can be exemplified. If such a substantially elliptical nozzle hole is used, fan-shaped water discharge is performed, and a substantially linear water discharge form can be obtained on the cleaning surface. However, the opening shape of the nozzle is not limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate.

  Moreover, although the opening area of each nozzle, the water discharge direction, etc. are good, it can also change with washing | cleaning objects. For example, the opening area of the nozzle that discharges water to a portion where dirt easily collects (such as near the wall of the washing floor 5) can be increased.

  Moreover, although water discharge can be performed by reciprocation of rocking | fluctuation, the timing of water discharge can also be changed, such as performing water discharge in an outward path or a return path. At that time, the timing of water discharge can be changed by the on-off valves 8 and 16 according to a command from the control unit 2. For example, it is possible to change the timing of water discharge in consideration of the direction in which dirty water tends to be guided to the drain depending on the position of the drain outlet in the bathroom, or the direction in which cleaning water and sterilizing water tends to stay on the cleaning surface, The timing of water discharge can be changed in order to focus on a specific cleaning place.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram for explaining another attachment form of the water discharger 40.
As shown in FIG. 19, the water discharger 40 is attached to the bathroom wall surface below the counter 6. A plurality of nozzle holes 40a are provided in the arm part 40b of the water discharger 40 so that cleaning water, sterilizing water, and the like can be discharged. Further, the water discharger 40 has a built-in device for mechanically switching the water channel by water pressure at the swing end. As such a thing, the technique as disclosed by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2006-75678 can be illustrated, for example. In this way, if a water channel automatic switching device using water pressure is used for the swing operation, the water discharge source and the power source for the swing operation can be unified, and the mechanism can be simplified. It can also contribute to lowering and improving reliability.

  However, the rocking source of the present invention is not limited to the mechanical switching device of the water channel at the rocking end, and can be rocked by, for example, an electric motor or a solenoid. In this case, not only can the swing direction be selected appropriately, but also a stable swing operation (swing speed, swing angle, etc.) that is not affected by fluctuations in water pressure can be achieved.

FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram for explaining another embodiment of the water discharger.
The discharge part 50 is provided with a swirl chamber 50b and a swinging body 50c, and the swinging revolution is caused by the swirling flow generated in the swirling chamber 50b. Along with this revolution, the gripping body 50a having a nozzle hole attached to the rocking body 50c is deformed, and the water discharge is performed while periodically changing the form of the water discharge itself, the amount of water discharge, the direction of water discharge, and the like along with the revolution. To be done. As such a thing, the technique as disclosed by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-304980 can be illustrated, for example.

FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram for explaining another embodiment of the water discharger.
Since only the number of arm portions and the position of the nozzle holes are different from those described with reference to FIG.
The water discharger 60 is provided with three arm portions 60a that are separated from each other by 120 °. The arm portion 60a is bent so that the tip thereof is directed in the direction of rotation, and a discharge port (not shown) is provided on the tip surface A. As the discharge port, the one described above can be adopted, and the one described with reference to FIG. 20 can be attached.

  The number of nozzle holes can also be selected as appropriate, and the angle can be adjusted by providing a swinging means (angle adjusting means) (not shown).

  The water discharge part 40 illustrated in FIG. 18 illustrates the case where it is attached to the back surface of the counter 6, and the water discharge part 40 illustrated in FIG. 19 illustrates the case where it is attached to the bathroom wall surface below the counter 6. It is. Moreover, the water discharging parts 50 and 60 illustrated in FIGS. 20 and 21 are also attached below the counter 6 in the same manner. In these cases, it is preferable that the water discharge portions 40, 50, 60 do not protrude from the protruding end (front end) of the counter 6. By doing so, it is possible to suppress interference with the human body during washing of the human body at the time of bathing, and it is excellent in appearance because there is no complicated feeling. In addition, it enables it to adjust the attachment position of the water discharging parts 40, 50, 60, and can also set according to the counter 6 of the bathroom installed. Moreover, the water discharge parts 40, 50, and 60 can be provided at positions separated from the rear surface of the counter 6 and the bathroom wall surface below the counter 6.

  Further, it is preferable to provide the water discharge portions 40, 50, 60 at positions where the water discharge does not scatter over the upper surface of the counter 6. By doing so, scattering of the discharged water to other than the surface to be cleaned is suppressed, and the occurrence of the above-mentioned scale, darkening and corrosion can be suppressed.

  Although the water discharger 40 illustrated in FIGS. 18 and 19 is the cleaning floor surface 5, the back surface of the counter 6 can also be cleaned by increasing the swing angle. Further, the back surface of the counter 6 can be cleaned as a rotating operation instead of a swinging operation. The water discharger 50 illustrated in FIG. 20 can also clean the back surface of the counter 6 by increasing the revolution angle. 21 can also clean the back surface of the counter 6 by increasing the angle of water discharge.

FIG. 22 is a piping diagram of a water discharge portion according to another embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 22, a sterilizing water generating means 12 and a washing water generating means 13 provided outside the bathroom 3 are connected to the water discharger 1 in series. Further, an opening / closing valve 8 a is provided between the sterilizing water generating means 12 and the cleaning water generating means 13, and the cleaning water generating means 13 is connected to the check valve 17. The check valve 17 is connected to the water pipe 9.

  Such a piping configuration simplifies the configuration, such as eliminating the need for one on-off valve as compared with the one described in FIG. In this case, it is preferable to provide the cleaning water generating means 13 with means for preventing the cleaning water generated by the cleaning water generating means 13 from being mixed with the sterilizing water generated by the sterilizing water generating means 12. For example, in the case where the cleaning water generating means 13 is used to input cleaning water (for example, concentrated solution) or a medicine that has been generated in advance, it is preferable to input only a necessary amount with a pump or the like.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these specific examples.

  As for the above-described specific examples, those skilled in the art appropriately modified the design are included in the scope of the present invention as long as they have the characteristics of the present invention.
