The grip portion 21 is provided with a supply passage 211 and a drain passage 212 for the cleaning liquid 11, and a water amount adjustment switch 213 for controlling the water supply amount on the surface of the grip portion. A suction strength (vacuum degree) adjustment switch (hereinafter referred to as a vacuum degree adjustment switch) 214 for adjusting the degree of vacuum inside the nozzle body and the strength of waste liquid recovery is provided. In addition, when the output of the suction device 32 described later is strong and it is difficult to adjust the suction intensity only by operating the vacuum degree adjustment switch 214, the air control switch 215 is operated to adjust the degree of vacuum by taking in outside air. You may do it.

The nozzle body 22 is, for example, conical or Nagakata conical, for example, be molded into a shape like an inverted bowl, the edge of the bowl is configured so as to contact the human skin surface, about half of the bowl edge A cleaning liquid injection port 221 that communicates with the supply passage 211 of the cleaning liquid 11 is provided in the portion, and a waste liquid recovery port 222 that communicates with the drainage passage 212 is provided in the central portion (top portion) of the bowl shape. The cleaning liquid injection port 221 is formed at an angle such that the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the skin surface in the direction of the center of the bowl shape, and the fountain amount and fountain angle are adjusted according to the size and shape of the mouth. The cleaning liquid 11 sprayed from the spray port 221 onto the skin surface is sucked into the waste liquid recovery port 222 that has been decompressed after touching the skin surface and is removed.

Drainage part 3
The drainage unit 3 includes a drainage tank 31 that sucks and collects and stores the waste liquid that has washed the skin surface, and a suction device 32 such as a vacuum device.
For example, a transparent sealable plastic container is adopted as the drainage tank 31 so that the amount of the wastewater 33 in the tank can be understood. Alternatively, it is preferable that a liquid level gauge is attached so that the amount of water can be automatically or visually confirmed, and the waste liquid is prevented from overflowing. The tank 31 only needs to be able to dispose of the waste liquid, and may be a hard one or a flexible bag-like one that has been reinforced so that it does not shrink even when evacuated. The tank 31 is preferably designed to have a size suitable for post-processing the waste water 33.

The drainage tank 31 and the drainage passage 212 provided in the grip portion 22 of the cleaning adapter 2 are connected by a flexible pipe 35. That is, when the suction device 32 is operated, the inside of the tank 31 is depressurized, and this depressurization depressurizes the inside of the bowl shape of the nozzle body 22 to suck up cleaning wastewater and guide the wastewater into the tank 31.
The waste liquid 33 collected in the drainage tank 31 is contaminated because it is a liquid that has washed the body. For example, at the time of washing around the anus after defecation, waste water containing filth is collected. For this reason, the wastewater has an odor, and feces are mixed therein. Since these odors and filth may harm the surrounding environment, for example, a bio-agent 36 is added to the drain tank 31 to prevent the filth from being decomposed, or decomposed by irradiating ultraviolet rays with an ultraviolet irradiation device 37. Disposal to the outside under a treatment that does not harm the environment. In addition, a deodorizing device (for example, activated carbon) 35 is installed at the exhaust port so that the exhaust gas of the suction device 32 is mixed with odors such as filth.

Next, the operation (Example) of the body washing apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
