DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a hot water washing device with a hot air blowing device for washing the buttocks of a human body with hot water and drying the buttocks with hot air.

[Prior Art] As is well known, a hot water cleaning device is equipped with a hot water tank and a cleaning nozzle to which hot water is supplied from the hot water tank, and when hot water is supplied from the hot water tank to the cleaning nozzle. A piston-shaped nozzle body protrudes from the cylindrical part of the cleaning nozzle, and warm water is jetted toward the human buttocks from the tip of the nozzle body. Western-style toilets equipped with warm water washing devices are now becoming popular, with a warm air blowing device configured to dry human buttocks wetted by hot water washing with hot air. This hot air blowing device includes a fan for blowing air and an air heater for warming the air.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a conventional cleaning device equipped with a hot air blowing device, immediately after the warm air blowing device is activated, the air heater is not sufficiently warmed, so the blown air is The temperature is low;
The person using the toilet feels cold.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A hot water cleaning device with a hot air blowing device according to the present invention is characterized in that a fan of the hot air blowing device is provided above a hot water tank.

[Function] In the hot water cleaning device with hot air blowing device of the present invention, since the fan is installed above the hot water tank, the fan and the air accumulated inside the fan are removed by heat radiation from the hot water tank. It's warmed up. For this reason, even immediately after the hot air blowing device is activated, considerably high-temperature air is blown out, and the user is prevented from feeling cold air.

Also, normally, a hot water cleaning device with a hot air blower is covered with a cover case, but if the fan is installed above the hot water tank, the fan's air intake port will also be located at the top of the cover case. It becomes like this. For this reason, the relatively warm air that has been warmed by the hot water tank inside the cover case and accumulated at the top of the cover case is first sucked into the hot air blowing fan, which also causes hot air blowing. The air temperature will be high immediately after the device is activated.

[Example] Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device with the low tank, cover case and hot water cleaning nozzle removed.

The hot water cleaning device 10 with a hot air blowing device according to this embodiment is as follows:
It is a type that is installed on the top of the rear of a Western-style toilet.
A hot water tank 14 is attached to the base plate 12,
A fan 16 is installed above the hot water tank 14. When the motor 18 of the fan 16 is rotated, the rotor blades 20
rotates and air is sent to the outlet 24 through the duct 22. An air heater 26 is installed inside the duct 22 and heats the air sent from the fan 16.

The front side of the hot water tank 14 (the front side of the Western-style toilet) is a slope 14a that slopes downward toward the front, and the fan 16 is installed above this slope 14a with a slight gap. There is. A plurality of boss portions 28 are integrally provided in the hot water tank 14, and the fan 16 is supported by the boss portions 28.

A low tank 30 is installed above the base plate 12. A portion of the bottom surface of the low tank 30 is a protrusion 30a that protrudes downward, and the protrusion 3C1a is fixed by a bolt (not shown) inserted into a mounting hole 32 of the base plate 12.

The opening 34 in the base plate 12 is for supplying the wash water in the low tank 30 to a Western-style toilet bowl 35 (FIG. 2).

A hot water cleaning nozzle 36 is installed in the center of the base plate 12.
An opening 38 for installation is provided.

The peripheral edge of this opening 38 forms a slope 40 that slopes downward toward the rear of the base plate 12, and a mounting plate 42 is fixed to this slope 40.
A hot water cleaning nozzle 36 is fixed to. The cleaning nozzle 36 includes a cylinder 36a and a piston-shaped nozzle body 36b that can freely protrude from the distal end side of the cylinder 36a. A hot water outlet 42 of the hot water tank is connected to the cylinder 36a via a tube 44.

A cover case 46 is placed from above to cover the low tank 30, and this cover case 46 is connected to the base plate 12. Although not shown, the low tank 30 is provided with a heat insulating material, and the cover case 4
It is constructed so as not to cool the air inside 6.

48 is a front protrusion integral with the base plate 12;
A hinge member (not shown) is attached to this front protrusion 48, and a toilet seat and a toilet M (both not shown) are pivotally supported by this attachment member.

In the hot water washing device with a warm air blowing device configured in this manner, hot water in the hot water tank 14 is supplied to the washing nozzle 36, the nozzle body 36b protrudes, and hot water is directed toward the buttocks of the user seated on the Western-style toilet bowl 35. It is squirted. tank 14
When hot water supply to the cleaning nozzle 36 is stopped, the nozzle body 36b retreats into the cylinder 36a. When the warm air Suita device is activated, air flows through the fan 16 into the duct 22.
The water is blown out through the air outlet 24 toward the buttocks of the user sitting on the Western-style toilet 35.

In this embodiment, since the fan 16 is provided above the hot water tank 14, the air accumulated in the casing of the fan 16 becomes considerably warm due to the heat radiation of the hot water tank 14. There is. Therefore, even when the amount of heat radiated by the air heater 26 is small immediately after the hot air blowing device is operated, hot air at a considerably high temperature is blown out from the blower outlet 24.

In this embodiment, the air inside the cover case 46 is warmed by heat radiation from the hot water tank 14, and this air is collected in the upper part of the cover case 46. When the fan 16 is operated, since the fan 16 has its suction port located at a relatively upper portion, it sucks in the warm air that has accumulated in the upper part of the cover case 46, which also causes hot air to blow out. Immediately after the device is activated, the air temperature will be high. Note that part of the air is supplied to the fan 16 and the hot water tank 1.
