Description

  The present invention relates to a local cleaning device, and more particularly to a local cleaning device having a bidet nozzle, a butt nozzle, and a hot air duct capable of ejecting hot air.

  The local cleaning apparatus includes a type having a cleaning nozzle that ejects a cleaning liquid to a human body part and a hot air duct that ejects hot air to the human body part. The hot air duct is provided with a lid that can be opened and closed at a spout for ejecting hot air, and is closed when hot air is not being ejected. This is considered to prevent liquid from entering and adhering to the jet nozzle and to facilitate cleaning even when liquid or the like adheres to the lid. Since the lid is a flat surface so as to cover the spout, cleaning is easier when compared to cleaning the interior of the spout where dirt is difficult to find and cleaning tools are difficult to enter. Furthermore, not only the hot air duct but also a local cleaning device having a large lid covering the entire opening in which the hot air duct and the cleaning nozzle are arranged has been developed and marketed. This is because a local cleaning device is not used, but it is possible to avoid rebounding liquid or the like when using a toilet bowl near the jet outlet or the tip of the nozzle, and a large lid is easy to clean. Of course, consideration is given to the design such that the local cleaning device itself is visually hidden.

  By the way, there exists patent document 1 in the type of the local washing | cleaning apparatus which has the lid | cover only of the jet outlet of a warm air duct, and the lid | cover which also covers a washing nozzle and a warm air duct, for example. In the local cleaning device of Patent Document 1, a first shutter disposed so as to cover the opening where the tips of the cleaning nozzle and the hot air duct are positioned, and an inner side of the first shutter, are disposed at the jet outlet of the hot air duct. And a warm air shutter arranged. The first shutter and the warm air shutter are opened and closed by the shaft center positioned above the warm air duct and rotating downward. Therefore, the open angle of the warm air shutter is smaller than the open angle of the first shutter. Since the 1st shutter of patent documents 1 opens and rotates by pushing out a washing nozzle, if the 1st shutter is not fully pushed up with a washing nozzle, the opening angle of the shutter for warm air will become narrow, and it will be from a warm air duct. Even if warm air is ejected, the warm air shutter restricts the ejection of warm air.

The position of the first shutter 5 in this state is the bidet opening position. FIG. 9 shows a warm toilet seat device using a bidet washing function as seen from the slightly lower left side in the protruding direction. The bidet cleaning control unit ejects hot water from the bidet nozzle tip 31 of the bidet nozzle 3. When the bidet cleaning control unit receives a signal to end the use of the bidet cleaning function, the bidet cleaning control unit stops the ejection of the hot water and moves the bidet nozzle 3 from the protruding position to the standby position. While the “bidet cleaning function” is used, the second shutter 6 remains in the closed position. While the bidet cleaning function is being used, the bottom nozzle tip 41 of the buttocks nozzle 4 can avoid splashing of water or the like from the protruding direction by the second shutter 6.

<Wet washing function>
When receiving a signal that the buttocks cleaning function is used, the buttocks cleaning controller of the control means causes the buttocks nozzle 4 to protrude from the standby position to the protruding position. When the buttocks nozzle 4 is in the protruding position, as shown in FIG. 6, the first shutter 5 and the second shutter 6 are opened and rotated by the buttocks nozzle tip 41, the first lid portion 51 is pushed up, and the second lid The part 61 becomes substantially parallel to the protruding direction. The position of the first shutter 5 in this state is the buttocks opening position, and the position of the second shutter 6 is the fully open position. The opening angle of the first shutter 5 opened and rotated to the buttocks opening position by the buttocks nozzle 4 is smaller than the opening angle of the bidet opening position opened and rotated by the bidet nozzle 3. FIG. 10 shows a warm water toilet seat device using a buttocks washing function as seen from the slightly lower left side in the protruding direction. The buttocks cleaning control unit ejects hot water from the buttocks nozzle tip 41 of the buttocks nozzle 4. Then, when the butt washing control unit receives a signal for terminating the use of the butt washing function, the butt washing control unit stops the ejection of the hot water and moves the butt nozzle 4 from the protruding position to the standby position. As shown in FIG. 6, the bidet nozzle tip 31 of the bidet nozzle 3 is hidden by the first lid portion 51 from the protruding direction, and rebound of water or the like from the protruding direction can be avoided.

<Hot air function>
When receiving the signal that the hot air function is used, the hot air control unit of the control means performs control as shown below.
(1) The bidet nozzle 3 is protruded in the protruding direction, and the engaged portion 54 of the first shutter 5 is placed in the engagement range. The position of the bidet nozzle 3 where the engaged portion 54 enters the engagement range is the auxiliary rotation bidet position, and the first shutter 5 is the bidet opening position (see FIGS. 11 and 14).
(2) While the bidet nozzle 3 is held at the auxiliary rotation bidet position or higher, the buttocks nozzle 4 is protruded in the protruding direction, and the engaging portion 64 of the second shutter 6 is engaged with the engaged portion 54 ( (See FIGS. 12 and 15). The position of the buttocks nozzle 4 where the engaging portion 64 engages with the engaged portion 54 is the auxiliary rotating buttocks position. * Even if the bidet nozzle 3 is moved to the standby position in the state (2), the first shutter 5 does not rotate and close.
(3) The buttocks nozzle 4 is protruded in the protruding direction from the auxiliary rotating butting position, and the second shutter 6 is opened and rotated to the fully open position (see FIGS. 13 and 16). The position of the first shutter 5 where the second shutter 6 is rotated to the fully open position in a state where the engaging portion 64 is engaged with the engaged portion 54 is the hot air opening position.
(4) Warm air is ejected from the warm air duct while the buttocks nozzle 4 is held above the auxiliary rotating buttocks position.

  When the warm air control unit receives a signal to end the use of the warm air function, the warm air control unit stops the ejection of the warm air and stores the bidet nozzle 3 and the buttocks nozzle 4 in the standby position.

  When the hot air function is used, the hot air control unit controls the movement of the bidet nozzle 3 and the buttocks nozzle 4 in the order of (1) and (2), and the engaging portion 64 of the second shutter 6 is moved to the first. Engage with the engaged portion 54 of the shutter 5 (see FIG. 12). Then, in the state where the engaging portion 64 is engaged with the engaged portion 54, the warm air control portion performs the control (3), so that the engaging portion 64 moves the engaged portion 54 in the protruding direction. The first shutter 5 is opened and rotated beyond the bidet opening position to reach the warm air opening position. The opening angle of the hot air opening position is larger than the opening angle of the bidet opening position and the butt opening position. The position of the warm air opening of the first shutter 5 is a position where the warm air is not obstructed by the first lid 51 when the warm air is ejected from the outlet 22 of the warm air duct 21 adjacent to the nozzle case 14. It is. In the local cleaning device of the first embodiment, when the hot air control unit does not control the movement of the bidet nozzle 3 and the buttocks nozzle 4 in the order of (1) and (2), the engaging unit 64 is the engaged unit 54. The relative positions (length, angle, rotation center) of each component are designed so that they do not engage with each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the “wet washing function” is used, the engaged portion 54 does not enter the engagement range even when the first shutter 5 is opened and rotated, or the engagement portion 54 is engaged. Before entering the range, the engaging portion 64 moves in the engaging range and does not engage with the engaged portion 54.

  The warm air control unit may be a control that does not hold the bidet nozzle 3 at the auxiliary rotation bidet position after the control (2) in which the engaging part 64 is engaged with the engaged part 54. The first shutter 5 does not rotate in the closing direction even if the bidet nozzle 3 moves in the storage direction from the auxiliary rotation bidet position, and the first shutter 5 does not protrude even if the bidet nozzle 3 protrudes in the protruding direction. This is because it does not rotate more than the bidet opening position. Further, after the control of (3), the hot air control unit may perform control to move the buttocks nozzle 4 in the protruding direction or the storing direction as long as the buttocks nozzle 4 is maintained at or above the auxiliary rotating buttocks position. However, a position that protrudes so as to obstruct or traverse the path through which the hot air is ejected is not preferable.

  According to the local cleaning device of the first embodiment, when using the bidet cleaning function and the buttocks cleaning function, the first shutter 5 does not open the opening 10 too much, and when using the hot air function, the hot air is ejected. Is not easily limited by the first lid portion 51 of the first shutter 5. Further, even when the ejection port 22 has a lid, the opening of the lid of the ejection port 22 is hardly suppressed by the first shutter 5.

  In addition, the rotation of the first shutter 5 and the second shutter 6 is linked to the operation of the bidet nozzle 3 and the buttocks nozzle 4, and no power source for the first shutter 5 and the second shutter 6 is mounted. In addition, the first shutter 5 can be greatly rotated.
