(Embodiment) FIGS. 2 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a private parts cleaning device includes a hot water tank 20 on one side of the toilet bowl 1, and a solenoid valve on the top of the hot water tank 20. Cleaning nozzles 2a and 2b, which are communicated via nozzles 21a and 21b, are provided in the toilet bowl 1 so as to be able to swing freely, and when a clean (for anal cleaning) operation switch 9a or a beauty (for bidet cleaning) operation switch 9c is pressed. After the cleaning nozzle 2a for anal cleaning or the cleaning nozzle 2b for bidet cleaning is rotated to a predetermined position by the drive motors 37a and 37b, and until the drying operation switch 9b is pressed, the cleaning water tank is The submersible pump 3 installed in the hot water tank 22 is operated, and the pump 3 uses the water pressure of the water supplied to the lower part of the hot water tank 20 to spray hot water from the cleaning nozzles 2a and 2b to clean the private parts of the human body. It is supposed to be washed. Here,
The water pressure level (operating level of the pump 3) of the hot water jetted from the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b is set by level setting switches 24a, 24b, and each time the "high" level setting switch 24a is pressed. , the water pressure level increases one step at a time,
Each time the "low" level setting switch 24b is pressed, the water pressure level is lowered by one step. In addition, the level setting switches 24a and 24b
Each time the level setting of the water pressure level is changed by the operation of , a confirmation sound with a pitch corresponding to the water pressure level is emitted from the confirmation sound generating means, and the change in the setting level can be recognized by the ears without looking at the display means 15. I'm starting to be able to do it. This level setting switch 2
The water pressure level set in 4a and 24b is indicated by LED.
It is displayed on the display means 15 formed by 25a to 25g, and is also stored in a level storage data memory formed by RAM. By the way, a toilet seat switch 12 that is activated when a predetermined weight is applied is provided on the pivot portion of the toilet seat 30 that is rotatably attached to the toilet bowl 1. When the user sits on the toilet seat 30, the toilet seat switch 12 is activated. is turned on and a usage detection signal is output. When this usage detection signal is input to the cleaning control means 10, the cleaning means 4 and the drying means 7 of the private parts cleaning device are set to an operable state, and the water pressure level preset in the level storage data memory is set. It is adapted to be displayed on the display means 15. In the embodiment, the LEDs 25a to 25g of the display means 15 also serve to display the wind pressure level of the hot drying air stored in advance in the level storage data memory, and the wind pressure level of the hot drying air is The setting is performed in the same way as setting the water pressure level using the level setting switches 24a and 24b when the drying operation switch 9b is pressed to start the drying operation, and the setting using the level setting switches 24a and 24b When changing the level, a person is asked to check the pitch corresponding to the wind pressure level, making it easier to set the wind pressure level. Furthermore, each of the operation switches 9a to 9c has built-in LEDs 26a to 26c for operation display, and the lighting of these LEDs 26a to 26c indicates the current operating status and indicates whether the switch operation is accepted. The LEDs 26a to 26c flicker during the preparation period before starting the cleaning or drying operation, and are continuously lit during the cleaning or drying operation. Furthermore, the cleaning operation and the drying operation can also be stopped by operating the operation switches 9a to 9c again. The power lamp 27 is a light emitting diode that indicates whether power is being supplied to the private parts cleaning device, and the lidded operation unit 36 displays hot water temperature and hot air temperature that are not frequently operated during normal cleaning operations. A setting volume, a means for turning on and off the heater in the hot water tank 20, and the like are provided.

Incidentally, the abnormality detection means 13 outputs an abnormality detection signal when an operation other than the normal cleaning operation is performed. (movement to washing position or storage position, etc.), drying means 7
If the operation (moving the drying hot air outlet to the operating position or storage position) is not completed, the cleaning nozzles 2a and 2b will be moved to the storage position when removing cold water from the cleaning nozzles 2a and 2b. If not, the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b are removed during the cleaning operation.
is forcibly moved in the storage direction, if the inactive cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b or the hot air outlet are forcibly pulled out during the cleaning operation, or if the power supply is on for a certain period of time during the cleaning operation. In the case where the power is turned on for the first time after the toilet is installed, the system detects an abnormal operation and outputs an abnormality detection signal. Further, when the above-mentioned abnormality detection signal is obtained from the abnormality detection means 13, the reset means 14 immediately stops undesirable operations such as abnormal spouting of hot water and abnormal delivery of hot air, and returns each means to a standby state (for example, , the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b, and the hot air outlet are moved to the retracted position. Note that the cleaning control means 10 and the driving means 1 are formed using a CPU.
1. The control circuit 28 including the abnormality detection means 13 and the reset means 14 is housed within the toilet body housing 29.

The normal operation of the embodiment will be specifically explained below. Now, when the private parts washing device is installed and the power is turned on, the power lamp 27 lights up to indicate that the power has been turned on, and the initial level setting means (not shown) operates to set the level. The water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air set by means 8 are set at approximately the center of the settable range, and the user is not allowed to set the water pressure level of hot water and the wind pressure level of hot air immediately after turning on the power. Even if the cleaning operation switch or the drying operation switch is operated without starting, the cleaning operation or the drying operation will not be started at an unexpected level (excessive or insufficient level). Next, when the user sits on the toilet seat 30, the toilet seat switch 12 is turned on and the use detection signal is input to the cleaning control means 10, and the cleaning means 4 and the drying means 7 are in the operable state (operation switch 9a ~9c
The water pressure level set by the level setting means 8 is displayed in the display state 15. Therefore, the user can check the water pressure level of the hot water jetted from the cleaning nozzle 2 when sitting on the toilet seat 30, and adjust the level setting switch 2 as necessary.
By operating 4a and 24b, the water pressure level can be adjusted according to the user's preference. Here, when changing the water pressure level, it is sufficient to press either the level setting switch 24a or 24b to set it to a predetermined level, and each time the set level is changed, a confirmation sound corresponding to the set level is generated,
The user can confirm the setting level using this confirmation sound. Next, when the clean operation switch 9a of the operation switch means 9 is pressed, the cleaning control means 10 controls the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21.
a for a short period of time (for example, one second), hot water is supplied into the pipe of the cleaning nozzle 2a, and the cold water remaining in the pipe of the cleaning nozzle 2a is ejected and removed. Next, pump 3 and solenoid valve 21a
The driving of the cleaning nozzle 2a is temporarily stopped, and the driving motor 37a that swings the cleaning nozzle 2a to a predetermined position is driven, and the cleaning nozzle 2a is moved from the storage position to the cleaning position and then stopped. With the washing nozzle 2a set in the predetermined position in this way, the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21 are driven again, hot water is force-fed to the washing nozzle 2a, and a predetermined water pressure is applied from the nozzle hole formed at the tip. It is designed so that hot water of the same level is spouted out. At this time, the voltage applied to the pump 3 rises relatively slowly until the set water pressure level is obtained in about 1 second, resulting in a so-called soft start. Next, when the drying operation switch 9b is turned on, the driving of the pump 3 and the solenoid valve 21a is stopped, and the spouting of hot water is finished, and the driving motor 37a is reversed, and the cleaning nozzle 2a is returned to its original storage position. At the same time, the heater 5 and blower fan 6 of the drying means 7 are driven, and the hot air outlet is projected into the toilet bowl 1 to dry the washed private parts. In this state, the wind pressure level of the hot drying air can be changed by pressing the level setting switches 24a and 24b, and each time the set level is changed, a confirmation sound with a pitch corresponding to the wind pressure level will be emitted. ing. When the private parts washed in this way are dried and the user stands up, the toilet seat switch 12 is turned off and no usage detection signal is output, so the drying means 7 is stopped and the power supply to other means is also stopped. The private parts cleaning device then enters a standby state until the toilet seat switch 12 is turned on next time. Note that when the viewing operation switch 9b is pressed, the cleaning operation switch 9a is pressed.
In the same way as when is pressed, the cleaning nozzle 2b is swing-moved to a predetermined position by the drive motor 37b, and the solenoid valve 21b is opened to perform bidet cleaning, cold water removal operation, drying operation, etc. Since the operation is exactly the same as the anal cleaning operation described above, the explanation will be omitted. Furthermore, when the cleaning operation is completed and the cleaning nozzle 2a or 2b is returned to the storage position, the pump 3 and the solenoid valves 21a, 2
1b is driven again and the hot water flows into the cleaning nozzles 2a,
2b, and the cleaning of the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b is performed by the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2 of the other side.
b.

A case where an operation other than the normal operation is performed will be described below. When turning on the power for the first time after installing the toilet, the cleaning nozzle 2 may be damaged due to external force during transportation or installation after product shipment.
The abnormality detection means 13 checks whether the hot air outlet, etc. a, 2b, etc. are in a standby state, that is, in a predetermined storage position, and if they are not in a standby state, they are controlled by an abnormality detection signal. The reset means 14 immediately stops operations such as spouting hot water and sending out hot air, and the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b and the hot air outlet are controlled by the drive motor 37.
They are moved to the storage position by the operation of a, 37b or an air outlet drive mechanism (not shown), and are set to a standby state. In addition, even if the power is cut off for a certain period of time or more during operation, the abnormality detection means 13 detects the power cut and when the power is turned on again, it will be detected in the same way as when the power is turned on for the first time. A reset operation is now performed. Furthermore, the operating switch 9a or 9
When c is pressed, the abnormality detection means 1 detects whether the cleaning nozzles 2a, 2b and the drying hot air outlet are retracted to the storage position and are in a standby state.
3, and if an abnormality detection signal is obtained, each is moved to the storage position by the reset means 14, and a cold water removal operation, which is a preliminary cleaning operation, is started. Furthermore, if the operating cleaning nozzle 2a or 2b is forcibly moved in the storage direction during the cleaning operation, or when one cleaning nozzle 2a or 2b is in operation, the other non-operating cleaning nozzle 2a or 2b When the hot air outlet is forcibly drawn out, the abnormality detection means 13 detects the occurrence of an abnormality and outputs an abnormality detection signal, and the reset means 14 immediately stops the cleaning operation. At the same time, it is set to a standby state.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a cleaning means for spouting hot water from a cleaning nozzle disposed in the toilet bowl, a drying means for sending out warm air, an operation switch means, a water pressure level, and a wind pressure level. In a private parts cleaning device equipped with a cleaning control means that controls the operation of the cleaning means and the drying means based on the output of the level setting means for setting the level, an abnormality detection signal is output when an operation other than the normal cleaning operation is performed. This system is equipped with an abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality, and a reset means for stopping an undesirable operation such as abnormal spouting of hot water and returning each means to a standby state when an abnormality detection signal is obtained. If the movement to the specified position is not completed within a certain period of time, the cleaning nozzle is forcibly pulled out, or the power is turned on or off, and an operation other than the normal cleaning operation is performed, This has the effect that undesirable movements are automatically stopped and inconveniences caused by undesirable movements can be avoided.
