The control unit 28 automatically opens the toilet lid 16 in response to detection of a user by the human body detection sensor 22, for example. Note that the human body detection sensor 22 only needs to be able to detect a user near the toilet device 1, and may be arranged, for example, in a cabinet provided on the side of the toilet device 1.

The toilet lid motor 24 is provided in the casing 12. The toilet lid motor 24 rotates the toilet lid 16 between an open state and a closed state. The toilet lid motor 24 is connected to a control section 28 and opens and closes the toilet lid 16 in response to a command signal from the control section 28 .

The manual operation unit 26 is provided, for example, on a side wall of the toilet device 1. That is, the manual operation section 26 is a remote control having a switch or a button, and is operated by a user to operate various functional sections of the toilet device 1 (sanitary cleaning device 10). The manual operation section 26 transmits a command signal based on the operation performed by the user to the control section 28. The control unit 28 performs cleaning of the user's private parts and cleaning of the toilet bowl 100 based on the received command signal.

The warm air unit 30 dries the private parts of the user sitting on the toilet seat 14. The hot air unit 30 includes an air blower 32 and a hot air heater 34. The blower device 32 is, for example, a fan provided inside the casing 12. The blower device 32 operates based on a command signal from the control unit 28.

The blower device 32 blows air into the toilet bowl 100 (inside the bowl part 101) from a discharge port 12a provided on the front surface of the casing 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the discharge port 12a is provided with a hot air drying lid 12b. The hot air drying lid 12b may be provided as necessary. The hot air heater 34 warms the air sent to the outside of the casing 12 by the air blower 32. Thereby, warm air can be sent toward the user's private parts to dry the private parts.

The functional gas unit 35 is provided in the casing 12. The functional gas unit 35 suppresses mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. in the nozzle 58a, the area around the nozzle 58a, the bowl part 101, and the toilet room TR using the functional gas. Thereby, the functional gas unit 35 improves the hygiene of the toilet device 1 and the toilet room TR. The functional gas unit 35 includes a functional gas generator 37 and a blower 39.

The functional gas generator 37 is provided in the casing 12 and generates a functional gas S that suppresses dirt. Here, the functional gas S is a gas containing, for example, ions, ozone, OH radicals, and the like. Examples of the functional gas S include Plasmacluster (registered commercial product) and NanoE (registered trademark).

That is, the functional gas S suppresses the growth and proliferation of mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. floating in the air, and mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. attached to the casing 12, the nozzle 58a, and the like. The functional gas generator 37 is connected to the control section 28 and operates based on a command signal from the control section 28 .

The blower 39 is provided in the casing 12 and generates an airflow that discharges the functional gas S to the outside of the casing 12. The blower 39 is, for example, a fan, and is connected to the control unit 28. The blower 39 operates based on a command signal from the control unit 28. The blower 39 generates an airflow that guides the functional gas S toward the nozzle storage section 13, the nozzle 58a, the bowl section 101, and the toilet room TR, which will be described later. A detailed explanation of the operation of the functional gas unit 35 and the flow state of the functional gas S will be explained later.

In the waterway system, the sanitary cleaning device 10 includes pipes 40 to 42, a solenoid valve 50, a vacuum breaker 52, a switching valve 56, a nozzle 58a, and a nozzle cleaning section 58c. These are arranged within the casing 12.

The pipe line 40 is for guiding water supplied from a water supply source W such as a tap or a water storage tank to the nozzle 58a, the nozzle cleaning section 58c, and the like. A solenoid valve 50 is provided on the upstream side of the conduit 40. The electromagnetic valve 50 is an electromagnetic valve that can be opened and closed, and controls the supply of water based on a command from the control unit 28 provided inside the casing 12.

A vacuum breaker 52 is provided downstream of the electromagnetic valve 50 on the pipeline 40 . This vacuum breaker 52 has, for example, a channel for flowing water, an intake port for taking air into the channel, and a valve mechanism that opens and closes the intake port. For example, the valve mechanism closes the intake port when water is flowing through the flow path, and opens the intake port when the flow of water stops to take air into the flow path. That is, the vacuum breaker 52 takes in air when there is no water flow in the conduit 40. For example, a float valve is used as the valve mechanism.

The vacuum breaker 52 takes air into the pipe line 40 as described above, thereby promoting drainage of water from a portion of the pipe line 40 downstream of the vacuum breaker 52, for example. The vacuum breaker 52 facilitates, for example, draining water from the nozzle 58a.

On the pipe line 40, downstream of the vacuum breaker 52, a sterilization device 54 that generates functional water (sterilized water) is provided. The sterilization device 54 generates sterilization water containing, for example, hypochlorous acid. Examples of the sterilization device 54 include an electrolytic cell unit. The electrolytic cell unit electrolyzes water flowing through a space (flow path) between an anode plate (not shown) and a cathode plate (not shown) under the control of energization from the control unit 28.

Note that the sterilized water is not limited to that containing hypochlorous acid. The sterilizing water may be, for example, a solution containing metal ions such as silver ions or copper ions, a solution containing electrolytic chlorine or ozone, acidic water, alkaline water, or the like. The sterilization device 54 is not limited to an electrolytic cell, and may have any configuration capable of generating sterilization water.

On the pipe line 40, a switching valve 56 is provided downstream of the sterilization device 54. A nozzle 58a of a body washing function section 58 and a nozzle washing section 58c are provided downstream of the switching valve 56. The pipe line 40 is branched by a switching valve 56 into a pipe line 41 that leads water to a nozzle 58a and a pipe line 42 that leads water to a nozzle cleaning section 58c.

The switching valve 56 controls opening and closing of the pipe line 41 or the pipe line 42 based on commands from the control unit 28 . That is, the switching valve 56 controls the supply of water to the nozzle 58a or the nozzle cleaning section 58c. Further, the switching valve 56 changes the flow rate of water supplied downstream thereof.

The body cleaning function section 58 includes a nozzle 58a, a nozzle motor 58b, and a nozzle cleaning section 58c. When not in use, the nozzle 58a is located inside the casing 12 behind a nozzle lid 13d, which will be described later. When cleaning a private part of the human body, the nozzle 58a receives the driving force from the nozzle motor 58b, presses the nozzle lid 13d that can be opened and closed against the casing 12, and advances into the bowl part 101 of the toilet bowl 100. .

The nozzle motor 58b operates based on a command signal from the control unit 28. The nozzle 58a discharges water from the water spout while extending forward from the casing 12 to clean the private parts of the human body. The nozzle cleaning section 58c cleans the outer circumferential surface (body) of the nozzle 58a by spraying sterilized water or water from an injection port provided inside the nozzle cleaning section 58c.

The control unit 28 uses a circuit provided inside the casing 12 and supplied with power from a power supply circuit (not shown). The control unit 28 includes, for example, an integrated circuit such as a microcomputer. The control unit 28 controls the functional gas generator 37 and the blower 39. Further, the control unit 28 controls the toilet lid motor 24, the air blower 32, the hot air heater 34, the solenoid valve 50, the vacuum breaker 52, the sterilization device 54, and the switching valve based on the command signal transmitted from the manual operation unit 26. 56, and a nozzle motor 58b.

The control unit 28 receives detection information from the human body detection sensor 22 (a signal indicating the presence or absence of a user) and detection information from the seating detection sensor 20 (a signal indicating the presence or absence of a user), and performs the received detection. Based on the information, the operation of each part of the sanitary cleaning device 10 is controlled.

The control unit 28 has a dirt suppression step in which the functional gas unit 35 is operated to suppress dirt. The stain suppression step has, for example, first to third modes. The first mode is executed with the main purpose of suppressing dirt on the nozzle 58a and the nozzle storage section 13. The second mode is executed with the main purpose of suppressing dirt on the bowl portion 101 of the toilet bowl 100. The third mode is executed with the main purpose of suppressing dirt in the toilet room TR. The first to third modes will be explained in detail later.

Next, the flow path of the functional gas S in the first mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a flow path of gas flowing by a blower.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the flow of functional gas in the first mode.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the casing 12 has an intake port 12c that sucks air from the toilet room TR into the interior when the blower 39 is activated. The suction port 12c communicates the inside and outside of the casing 12. In this example, the suction port 12c is provided on the left side surface of the casing 12.

Note that the suction port 12c may be provided on the rear surface or the top surface of the casing 12. The suction port 12c can be placed at any position as long as it can suck air from the toilet room TR into the casing 12. That is, the suction port 12c is provided on a surface of the outer surface of the casing 12 that is exposed to the toilet room TR. By taking air into the casing 12 from the toilet compartment TR, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the functional gas S released into the bowl portion 101 is sucked into the casing 12 again.

Furthermore, the casing 12 has a nozzle storage section 13 that stores the nozzle 58a. The nozzle storage section 13 has an inner surface 13a of the casing 12 located above (directly above) the nozzle 58a, a bottom surface 13b of the casing 12 located below the nozzle 58a, and an outlet 13c of the nozzle 58a. The inner surface 13a is a portion that overlaps with the nozzle 58a, for example, in a plan view seen from above. The bottom surface 13b extends, for example, from the outlet 13c to a portion overlapping with the nozzle 58a when viewed from above.

The nozzle storage section 13 is provided with a nozzle support section 59 that supports the nozzle 58a. The nozzle support portion 59 is provided on the bottom surface 13b. A nozzle cleaning section 58c is provided on the front end side of the nozzle support section 59.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outlet 13c is provided at the front surface of the casing 12. The outlet 13c is located below the toilet seat 14 when the toilet seat 14 is closed. The casing 12 has a nozzle lid 13d that opens and closes the outlet 13c. That is, the nozzle storage part 13 has a nozzle lid 13d that covers the outlet 13c in an openable and closable manner. As shown in FIG. 5, in this example, the front end of the bottom surface 13b extends to a position close to the lower end of the nozzle lid 13d (the front part of the casing 12). Therefore, when the nozzle lid 13d is in the closed state, the entire outlet 13c is covered.

As shown in FIG. 5, the nozzle lid 13d is rotatable forward using the upper end as a fulcrum. The nozzle lid 13d has an upper end serving as a pivot point and a lower end serving as a free end. The nozzle lid 13d rotates when pressed by the nozzle 58a. Note that the nozzle lid 13d may be opened and closed by a motor, a solenoid, or the like.

Here, the outlet 13c is a portion where, for example, sterilized water or water used to clean the nozzle 58a tends to remain. As a result, the outlet 13c becomes a part where bacteria are likely to breed due to the residual water.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the air flow Fs containing the functional gas S is discharged to the outside of the casing 12 from the outlet 13c. Thereby, the functional gas S comes into contact with the outlet 13c, so that mold, bacteria, viruses, etc. adhering to the outlet 13c can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sanitary cleaning device 10 with improved hygiene.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the functional gas generator 37 releases the functional gas S behind the nozzle 58a. The blower 39 generates an airflow Fs that causes the functional gas S to flow from behind the nozzle 58a toward the outlet 13c.

Thereby, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S comes into contact with at least a portion of the nozzle 58a. Therefore, the functional gas S can suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses adhering to the nozzle 58a before the airflow Fs flows toward the outlet 13c. Furthermore, the functional gas S can suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses floating in the air. Therefore, the functional gas S can improve the hygiene inside the nozzle housing part 13 by causing the airflow Fs to flow inside the nozzle housing part 13.

Further, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S is directed to at least one of at least a portion of the inner surface 13a of the casing 12 located above the nozzle 58a and at least a portion of the bottom surface 13b of the casing 12 located below the nozzle 58a. Contact. The airflow Fs may be in contact with all of the inner surface 13a and the bottom surface 13b, or may be in contact with at least a portion thereof. The airflow Fs may contact only at least a portion of the inner surface 13a without contacting the bottom surface 13b. Further, it may contact only at least a portion of the bottom surface 13b without contacting the inner surface 13a.

For example, the front end side (outlet 13c side) of the inner surface 13a and the front end side of the bottom surface 13b are areas where residual water such as sterilized water or water after cleaning the nozzle 58a is likely to be generated, and these areas are likely to become dirty. On the other hand, the rear end side of the inner surface 13a and the bottom surface 13b is a portion that is less likely to become dirty than the front end side.

Therefore, for example, the airflow Fs may flow so as to contact at least the front end side (outlet 13c side) of the inner surface 13a or the front end side of the bottom surface 13b. The flow path of the airflow Fs can be set based on dirt distribution based on experiments, simulations, and the like. Furthermore, the functional gas S also comes into contact with the back surface of the nozzle lid 13d. By bringing the airflow Fs into contact with such easily soiled areas, attached mold, bacteria, and viruses can be suppressed.

Moreover, by circulating the airflow Fs in the nozzle storage section 13, the functional gas S can also be brought into contact with the nozzle support section 59 and the nozzle cleaning section 58c. Thereby, mold, bacteria, and viruses that adhere to the nozzle support portion 59 and the nozzle cleaning portion 58c can be suppressed.

Here, the functional gas generator 37 may discharge the functional gas S with the nozzle lid 13d open. Specifically, the control unit 28 advances the nozzle 58a and opens the nozzle lid 13d. Thereafter, the control unit 28 operates the functional gas generator 37 and the blower 39. This increases the opening area of the outlet 13c, so that the airflow Fs can be efficiently guided from inside the nozzle storage portion 13 toward the outlet 13c. As a result, the functional gas S can be efficiently brought into contact with the nozzle housing portion 13, which is a part that is likely to get dirty.

In this case, the nozzle lid 13d is preferably in an open state smaller than the fully open state. If the nozzle lid 13d is fully opened (the state shown in FIG. 6), the opening area of the outlet 13c will increase, so there is a risk that the airflow Fs that will be discharged without contacting the nozzle lid 13d will increase. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 28 slightly advances the nozzle 58a to bring the nozzle lid 13d into an open state smaller than the fully open state. This allows a large amount of airflow Fs to flow along the back surface of the nozzle lid 13d, so that mold, bacteria, and viruses attached to the back surface of the nozzle lid 13d can be efficiently suppressed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow path of the functional gas S in the second mode and the third mode will be described.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the flow of functional gas in the second mode and the third mode.

The second mode is executed with the main purpose of suppressing dirt on the bowl portion 101 of the toilet bowl 100. Therefore, in the second mode, the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d is made larger than in the first mode.

The control unit 28 sets the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d to a first mode in which the functional gas generator 37 and the blower 39 are operated with the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d set to the first angle (the state shown in FIG. 5). A second mode is executed in which the functional gas generator 37 and the blower 39 are operated in a state where the second angle is set to a second angle larger than one angle (the state shown in FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 28 makes the extension dimension of the nozzle 58a larger than in the first mode. As a result, the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d becomes larger in the second mode than in the first mode. As a result, the opening area of the outlet 13c becomes larger in the second mode than in the first mode.

Therefore, many airflows Fs containing the functional gas S can be discharged toward the bowl portion 101 from the outlet 13c. In the second mode, it is preferable to operate the toilet lid motor 24 to close the toilet lid 16. Thereby, the inside of the bowl part 101 can be made into a closed space, so that the airflow Fs discharged into the bowl part 101 can be efficiently brought into contact with the bowl part 101, the toilet seat 14, and the toilet lid 16. Therefore, mold, bacteria, and viruses attached to the bowl portion 101, the toilet seat 14, and the toilet lid 16 can be suppressed. Moreover, mold, bacteria, and viruses floating in the bowl portion 101 can also be suppressed by the airflow Fs.

Further, the control unit 28 may make the output of the blower 39 different between the first mode and the second mode. In this case, the output of the blower 39 in the first mode is made smaller than the output of the blower 39 in the second mode. As a result, in the first mode, the wind speed (air volume) of the blower 39 is reduced, so the airflow Fs remaining in the nozzle storage section 13 increases, and the concentration of the functional gas S in the nozzle storage section 13 can be increased. . On the other hand, in the second mode, the wind speed (air volume) of the blower 39 increases, so that a large amount of the functional gas S can be discharged from the outlet 13c to the bowl part 101.

The interior of the nozzle storage section 13 is a narrower space than the interior of the bowl section 101. Therefore, the control unit 28 may make the execution time of the first mode shorter than the execution time of the second mode. This makes it possible to efficiently suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses in the nozzle storage section 13 and the bowl section 101 without operating the functional gas unit 35 more than necessary, and to save power.

The third mode is executed with the main purpose of suppressing dirt in the toilet room TR. In the third mode, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S is diffused into the toilet room TR to suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses floating in the toilet room TR.

In the third mode, the toilet lid motor 24 is operated to open the toilet lid 16. Other conditions are the same as in the second mode. That is, when executing the third mode, the control unit 28 operates the toilet lid motor 24, and then operates the functional gas generator 37 and the blower 39. Thereby, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S is discharged from the outlet 13c through the bowl part 101 into the toilet room TR. As a result, mold, bacteria, and viruses floating in the toilet room TR can be suppressed, so that the hygiene of the toilet room TR can be improved.

In this case, the space of the toilet room TR is wider than the space of the nozzle storage section 13 and the space of the bowl section 101. Therefore, the execution time of the third mode may be longer than the execution time of the first mode. Further, the execution time of the third mode may be longer than the execution time of the second mode. That is, the execution time of each mode may be the shortest in the first mode and the longest in the third mode. This makes it possible to efficiently suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses in the nozzle storage section 13, bowl section 101, and toilet room TR without operating the functional gas unit 35 more than necessary, and to save power. .

Further, the control unit 28 may vary the output of the blower 39 in the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode. In this case, the output of the blower 39 in the third mode is made larger than the output of the blower 39 in the first mode and the second mode. As a result, in the third mode, the wind speed (air volume) of the blower 39 increases, so the airflow Fs diffused into the toilet room TR increases. Therefore, mold, bacteria, and viruses can be suppressed in a wide range of the toilet room TR.

FIG. 7 is a time chart showing an example when the first to third modes are executed.

First, at time t0, the user seated on the toilet seat 14 operates the manual operation section 26 to finish private part washing. As a result, the control section 28 causes the nozzle 58a that has advanced into the bowl section 101 to be accommodated within the casing 12 (inside the nozzle storage section 13). The control unit 28 executes the functional water mode when the nozzle 58a is retracted. In the functional water mode, sterilizing water (functional water) or water is ejected from the nozzle cleaning section 58c to clean and sterilize the nozzle 58a.

At time t1, the functional water mode is ended. After ending the functional water mode, the control unit 28 executes the first mode of the dirt suppression process. In this example, the toilet lid 16 is in the open state when the first mode is being executed. However, the control unit 28 may close the toilet lid 16. That is, in the first mode, the toilet lid 16 may be in an open state or a closed state. By executing the first mode, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the nozzle storage section 13 can be effectively suppressed.

At time t2, the first mode is ended. After ending the first mode, the control unit 28 executes the second mode of the dirt suppression process. First, the control unit 28 brings the toilet lid 16, which is in the open state, into the closed state. Then, the control unit 28 further advances the nozzle 58a in the state shown in FIG. 5 to bring the nozzle 58a into the state shown in FIG. 6. Note that the control unit 28 may increase the output of the blower 39. By executing the second mode, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the bowl portion 101 can be effectively suppressed.

At time t3, the second mode is ended. After ending the second mode, the control unit 28 executes the third mode of the dirt suppression process. First, the control unit 28 opens the toilet lid 16 which is in the closed state. Note that the control unit 28 may further increase the output of the blower 39. By executing the third mode, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the toilet room TR can be effectively suppressed.

At time t4, the third mode is ended. Upon ending the third mode, the control unit 28 brings the toilet lid 16, which is in the open state, into the closed state. As shown in FIG. 7, the execution time of the first mode (from time t1 to time t2) is longer than the execution time of the second mode (from time 2 to time t3) and the execution time of the third mode (from time t3 to time t4). is also shorter. Further, the execution time of the second mode (from time 2 to time t3) is shorter than the execution time of the third mode (from time t3 to time t4). In this way, by executing the first to third modes, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the toilet device 1 and the toilet room TR can be effectively suppressed, and a deodorizing effect can be obtained.

Note that, for example, when the control unit 28 receives a human body detection signal from the human body detection sensor 22 during execution of the dirt suppression process (first to third modes), the control unit 28 stops the dirt suppression process. Thereby, when the user uses the toilet device 1, it is possible to suppress the dirt suppression step from being performed.

In this example, a case has been described in which the first mode to the third mode are executed continuously after the end of private part washing. However, the first mode to the third mode can be executed arbitrarily. For example, the first to third modes may be executed at preset times or at preset time intervals. Further, the first mode to the third mode may be executed by, for example, operating the manual operation unit 26 or a mobile terminal by a user, a cleaner, or the like.

Next, a sanitary cleaning device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In the sanitary cleaning device according to the second embodiment, the nozzle is housed inside the cylindrical portion. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted.
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram similar to FIG. 4 showing a sanitary cleaning device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 9 is a sectional view showing the flow of functional gas similar to FIG. 5 showing the sanitary cleaning device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 shows the state of the first mode of the dirt suppression process.

The sanitary cleaning device 10 includes a cylindrical portion 60 that houses a nozzle 58a therein. The cylindrical portion 60 is provided inside the casing 12. The cylindrical portion 60 has a front opening 60a on the front end side and a rear opening 60b on the rear end side. The cylindrical portion 60 is arranged so as to be inclined obliquely upward toward the rear from the outlet 13c.

The cylindrical portion 60 supports the nozzle 58a inside. The cylinder part 60 constitutes a part of the nozzle storage part. In this example, the nozzle storage section includes a cylindrical section 60, an outlet 13c of the nozzle 58a, and a nozzle lid 13d.

A nozzle lid 13d is provided in front of the cylindrical portion 60. Note that the front opening 60a of the cylindrical portion 60 may be located at the outlet 13c. That is, the nozzle lid 13d may close the front opening 60a of the cylindrical portion 60.

The functional gas unit 62 includes a functional gas generator 63 and a blower 64. As shown in FIG. 9, the functional gas generator 63 releases the functional gas S behind the nozzle 58a. The blower 64 generates an airflow F that causes the functional gas S to flow from behind the nozzle 58a toward the outlet 13c. In this example, the functional gas S is released behind the rear opening 60b of the cylindrical portion 60, and the airflow F is generated. Note that the functional gas generator 63 and the blower 64 may be provided inside the cylindrical portion 60.

Thereby, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S flows inside the cylinder part 60 from the rear opening 60b of the cylinder part 60 toward the front opening 60a. The airflow Fs is then discharged to the outside of the casing 12 from the outlet 13c via the front opening 60a of the cylindrical portion 60. Therefore, the airflow Fs can suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 60, the nozzle 58a, the outlet 13c, and the nozzle lid 13d. Note that in the second and third modes of the dirt suppression process, the same control processing as in the first embodiment described above is performed.

Next, sanitary cleaning devices according to third and fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. In the sanitary cleaning devices according to the third and fourth embodiments, an extending plate portion is provided between the nozzle and the casing. In addition, in the third and fourth embodiments, the same components as in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram similar to FIG. 5 showing a sanitary cleaning device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram similar to FIG. 5 showing a sanitary cleaning device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
10 and 11 show the state of the first mode of the dirt suppression process.

As shown in FIG. 10, the extending plate portion 66 is located between the casing 12 and the nozzle 58a. Specifically, the extending plate portion 66 is located between the nozzle 58a and the inner surface 13a of the casing 12 located above the nozzle 58a. The extending plate portion 66 extends along the nozzle 58a. The extending plate portion 66 is arranged so as to be inclined obliquely upward toward the rear from the upper end side of the outlet 13c.

The extending plate portion 66 supports the nozzle 58a from above. In other words, the nozzle 58a is located on the lower surface 66a side of the extending plate portion 66. The nozzle 58a moves in the front-rear direction along the extending plate portion 66. In this example, the nozzle storage section includes a lower surface 66a of the extending plate section 66, a bottom surface 13b of the casing 12, an outlet 13c, and a nozzle lid 13d.

The functional gas unit 67 includes a functional gas generator 68 and a blower 69. The functional gas generator 68 releases the functional gas S behind the nozzle 58a. The blower 69 generates an airflow F that causes the functional gas S to flow from behind the nozzle 58a toward the outlet 13c. In this example, the functional gas S is released behind the rear end of the extended plate portion 66, and the airflow F is generated.

Thereby, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S flows through at least a portion of the surface of the extending plate portion 66 where the nozzle 58a is located (in this example, the lower surface 66a). The airflow Fs then contacts the lower surface 66a of the extending plate portion 66, the bottom surface 13b of the casing 12, the nozzle 58a, the outlet 13c, and the nozzle lid 13d. Note that, similarly to the first embodiment described above, the airflow Fs is made to contact at least the portions that are easily soiled, such as the front end side of the lower surface 66a of the extension plate portion 66 and the front end side of the bottom surface 13b of the casing 12. You can.

Therefore, the airflow Fs can suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses on the lower surface 66a of the extending plate portion 66, the bottom surface 13b of the casing 12, the nozzle 58a, the outlet 13c, and the nozzle lid 13d. Note that in the second and third modes of the dirt suppression process, the same control processing as in the first embodiment described above is performed.

As shown in FIG. 11, the extending plate portion 70 is located between the casing 12 and the nozzle 58a. Specifically, the extending plate portion 70 is located between the nozzle 58a and the bottom surface 13b of the casing 12 located below the nozzle 58a. The extending plate portion 70 extends along the nozzle 58a. The extending plate portion 70 is arranged so as to be inclined obliquely upward toward the rear from the lower end side of the outlet 13c.

The extending plate portion 70 supports the nozzle 58a from below. In other words, the nozzle 58a is located on the upper surface 70a side of the extending plate portion 70. The nozzle 58a moves in the front-rear direction along the extending plate portion 70. In this example, the nozzle storage section includes an upper surface 70a of the extending plate section 70, an inner surface 13a of the casing 12 located above the nozzle 58a, an outlet 13c, and a nozzle lid 13d.

The functional gas unit 71 includes a functional gas generator 72 and a blower 73. The functional gas generator 72 releases the functional gas S behind the nozzle 58a. The blower 73 generates an airflow F that causes the functional gas S to flow from behind the nozzle 58a toward the outlet 13c. In this example, the functional gas S is released behind the rear end of the extended plate portion 70, and the airflow F is generated.

Thereby, the airflow Fs containing the functional gas S flows through at least a portion of the surface of the extending plate portion 70 where the nozzle 58a is located (in this example, the upper surface 70a). The airflow Fs then contacts the upper surface 70a of the extending plate portion 70, the inner surface 13a of the casing 12, the nozzle 58a, the outlet 13c, and the nozzle lid 13d. Note that, similarly to the first embodiment described above, the airflow Fs is made to come into contact with at least the portions that are easily soiled, such as the front end side of the upper surface 70a of the extending plate portion 70 and the front end side of the inner surface 13a of the casing 12. You can.

Therefore, the airflow Fs can suppress mold, bacteria, and viruses on the upper surface 70a of the extending plate portion 70, the inner surface 13a of the casing 12, the nozzle 58a, the outlet 13c, and the nozzle lid 13d. Note that in the second and third modes of the dirt suppression process, the same control processing as in the first embodiment described above is performed.

FIG. 12 is a sectional view showing a third mode executed in the sanitary cleaning device according to the first modification of the present invention.
In the embodiment described above, the nozzle lid 13d has been described using an example in which the upper end side is used as a pivot point. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a nozzle lid 80 in which the lower end side is a rotational fulcrum, for example, as in a first modification shown in FIG. 12. In this case, the nozzle lid 80 may have a double-opening structure in which both the upper end side and the lower end side serve as pivot points.

The nozzle lid 80 can have a double-opening structure using, for example, a motor or a solenoid. Further, for example, it may have two pressing members (for example, a nozzle dedicated to the butt and a nozzle dedicated to the bidet) that press the nozzle lid 80. In this case, by pressing the upper end of the nozzle lid 80, one of the pressing members can realize an open state with the lower end of the nozzle lid 80 as a pivot point. Further, by pressing the lower end side of the nozzle lid 80, the other pressing member can realize an open state with the upper end side of the nozzle lid 80 as a pivot point.

As shown in FIG. 12, for example, in the third mode, the nozzle lid 80 may be in an open state with the lower end side as a pivot point. Thereby, the airflow Fs can be discharged upward from the outlet 13c along the nozzle lid 80. Therefore, the airflow Fs can be efficiently diffused into the toilet room TR. On the other hand, in the second mode, the nozzle lid 80 may be in an open state with the upper end side as a pivot point. Thereby, the airflow Fs can be discharged downward from the outlet 13c along the nozzle lid 80. Therefore, the airflow Fs can be efficiently diffused into the bowl portion 101.

FIG. 13 is a front view showing a nozzle lid of a sanitary cleaning device according to a second modification of the present invention.
In the embodiment described above, a case has been described in which the hot air drying lid 12b and the nozzle lid 13d are provided separately. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as in a second modification shown in FIG. You can leave it there.

In such a case, for example, when executing the first to third modes, the blower device 32 of the warm air unit 30 may be operated to open the common lid 82 without advancing the nozzle 58a. .

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram similar to FIG. 5 showing an outlet of a sanitary cleaning device according to a third modification of the present invention.
In the embodiment described above, the case where the entire outlet 13c is blocked by the nozzle lid 13d has been described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as in the third modification shown in FIG. It may have.

As shown in FIG. 14, the front end of the bottom surface 13b may be spaced backward from the lower end of the nozzle lid 13d. That is, the outlet 90 of the nozzle 58a has a front discharge port 90a that opens toward the front and a lower discharge port 90b that opens toward the bottom. The front discharge port 90a and the bottom discharge port 90b are in communication. The casing 12 has a nozzle lid 13d that opens and closes the front discharge port 90a. That is, the nozzle lid 13d covers a part of the outlet 90 (front discharge port 90a) in an openable and closable manner.

In such a case, the functional gas S may be discharged from the functional gas generator 37 without opening the nozzle lid 13d. The airflow Fs containing the functional gas S is guided to the lower discharge port 90b of the outlet 90 and is discharged from the lower discharge port 90b toward the inside of the toilet bowl 100 (bowl portion 101) without opening the nozzle lid 13d. . As a result, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the nozzle housing section 13 and the nozzle 58a can be efficiently suppressed.

In such a configuration, the first mode may be executed without opening the nozzle lid 13d. That is, the first angle of the nozzle lid 13d in the first mode is 0 degrees or more. The airflow Fs is guided to the lower discharge port 90b even if the opening angle (first angle) of the nozzle lid 13d is 0 degrees, for example. Thereby, for example, there is no need to extend the nozzle 58a, so power saving can be achieved. Furthermore, since the nozzle lid 13d does not open, the first mode can be executed without the user noticing. The second mode and the third mode may be executed, for example, by setting the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d to 0 degrees or more.

Moreover, in the embodiment described above, the case where the nozzle lid 13d was provided at the outlet 13c of the nozzle 58a was described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the nozzle lid 13d may not be provided. In such a case, the first to third modes can be executed by changing the output of the blower 39.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the nozzle lid 13d is opened in the first to third modes has been described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the nozzle lid 13d does not have to be actively opened in the first to third modes. In such a case, the first to third modes can be executed by changing the output of the blower 39. In this case, the nozzle lid 13d is opened by the airflow Fs generated by the blower 39. Furthermore, in the first to third modes, only the output of the blower 39 may be varied without changing the opening angle of the nozzle lid 13d.

In the embodiment described above, the case where the functional gas generator 37 is provided on the downstream side of the blower 39 in the flow direction of the airflow F has been described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and the functional gas generator 37 may be provided upstream of the blower 39, for example, as long as the airflow Fs directed toward the outlet 13c can be generated.

Moreover, in the embodiment described above, the case where the airflow Fs is generated from the rear side of the nozzle 58a toward the outlet 13c has been described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and the airflow Fs may be generated from the side of the nozzle 58a (nozzle storage section), for example. That is, the airflow Fs may contact at least a portion of the nozzle 58a and flow toward the outlet 13c.

Moreover, in the embodiment described above, the case where the airflow Fs is discharged only from the outlet 13c has been described as an example. However, the aspect of the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the airflow Fs may be discharged from another outlet in addition to the outlet 13c. For example, another outlet communicating with the toilet room TR may be provided on the outer surface of the casing 12, and a portion of the airflow Fs may be discharged from this other outlet. Further, for example, another outlet communicating with the bowl portion 101 may be provided on the outer surface of the casing 12, and a portion of the airflow Fs may be discharged from this other outlet.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where one nozzle 58a is provided has been described as an example. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and may include, for example, a plurality of nozzles. For example, the butt-only nozzle and the bidet-only nozzle may be arranged in the left-right direction.
