Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the increase of the size of bubbles at a time when bubbles are mixed into wash water, and to obtain excess simulation and soft washing feeling while attaining miniaturization and the reduction of cost regarding a sanitary washing nozzle and a washer washing the affected part of the human body, etc. CONSTITUTION:A cut-off valve 15, a heating means 17 for heating wash water, a wash-water supply pump 20, an elector means 24 mounted on the suction port 25 side of the wash-water supply pump 20 and a sanitary washing nozzle 30 having bubble crushed bodies 38 in a water supply line 32 are provided. Since mixed bubbles pass through the bubble crushed bodies 38, the increase of the diameters of bubbles is prevented, a bursting-open sound at the time of ejection is reduced, and bubbles can be mixed effectively, thus eliminating the need for a driving source exclusive for mixing bubbles.

With the above-described structure, the cleaning nozzle of the present invention has a structure in which the cleaning water mixed with air bubbles in the state where the movable nozzle body is pushed out to the human body local position is used for cleaning the bubble crushing body provided in the water supply passage of the movable nozzle body. Since it is ejected from the nozzle hole after passing, by mixing air on the upstream side of the nozzle cylinder, the bubbles that have flowed into the nozzle cylinder interfere with each other and separate into a gas phase and a liquid phase. Even when the diameter is changed, the particles are re-miniaturized in the process of passing through the crushed body of bubbles. As a result, non-uniformity of air bubbles is prevented, and air bubbles having a stable particle diameter are generated. When jetted to a human body part, a moderate stimulus and a soft washing sensation can be obtained. Further, the bubbles can be repelled to enhance the detergency. Further, since the bubble particle size does not become large, the popping noise of bubbles at the time of jetting from the washing nozzle can be reduced and the scattering of washing water can be reduced.

Has been done. This point will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the mixing ratio of the air flow rate Qa and the flow rate Qw of cleaning water and the noise level generated from the cleaning nozzle 30 during cleaning, that is, the popping sound of bubbles. In the figure, Q T1 to Q T3 are sums of the flow rates of cleaning water and air, and the minimum flow rate (Q T1 ), the standard flow rate (Q T2 ), and the maximum flow rate (Q
The three levels of T3 ) are shown. As can be seen from the figure, peaks are recognized for each level. This peak indicates a point where the bubble-mixed cleaning water ejected from the nozzle hole 33 changes from a continuous flow to an intermittent flow as the amount of mixed bubbles increases, and the noise level is the highest. When the mixing ratio increases, that is, when the air ratio increases and exceeds the peak point, the noise level tends to decrease, but an offensive sound is generated. For this reason, in this embodiment, the mixing ratio that does not exceed the peak at the minimum flow rate (Q T1 ) required for this type of sanitary washing device, that is, Qa / Qw is set to 1 or less.

In the above-mentioned structure, the operation of this embodiment will be described below.
The effect will be described. Water stop valve 1 by the wash water request signal
When 5 is opened and the drive means 23 is rotated, the gear 22 of the wash water supply pump 20 is rotated, the pressure of the water suction port 25 becomes a negative pressure state, and the wash water stored in the hot water storage tank 19 at a predetermined temperature. Flows into the ejector nozzle 26, passes through it with an increased flow velocity. As a result, a predetermined amount of air is effectively sucked from the air suction port 27 and mixed into the wash water,
It flows into the nozzle cylinder 31 via the wash water supply pump 20.

When air bubbles are mixed on the upstream side of the sanitary washing nozzle 30, the individual air bubbles interfere with each other in the process of passing through the nozzle cylinder 31, resulting in non-uniform air bubbles. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the bubbles having a predetermined particle diameter that have flowed into the nozzle cylinder 31 interfere with each other, and are separated into a gas phase and a liquid phase to change to a large diameter. When it gushes from 33, a popping sound of bubbles is generated,
When the jet contacted the human body part, the washing water was scattered and an unnecessary part got wet. However, in the present embodiment, since the bubble crushing body 38 is provided in the water supply passage 32 of the movable nozzle body 34, The bubble having the increased diameter is regenerated into a bubble having a predetermined diameter while passing through the bubble crushing body 38. Therefore, the popping sound of the bubbles when ejected from the nozzle hole 33 can be reduced and the scattering of the washing water can be prevented. Further, since the ejector means 24 is provided on the side of the water suction port 25 of the cleaning water supply pump 20 which is an essential component of this type of cleaning device as an air mixing means, the pressure of the water suction port 25 becomes a negative pressure state and the cleaning is performed. Water is ejector nozzle 26
By passing through, the air is efficiently mixed in a predetermined ratio with the flow velocity being increased. As a result,
There is no need for a dedicated drive source for mixing air, and cost reduction and device miniaturization can be realized. Further, since the flow rate of the wash water passing through the ejector means 24, that is, the flow rate of the wash water and the air amount sucked from the air suction port 27 are proportional to each other, the wash water and the air are mixed even when the flow rate of the wash water is changed. There is an effect that the ratio can be maintained at a predetermined ratio suitable for cleaning.

Further, in the present embodiment, the amount of cleaning water to be used, which is ejected from the nozzle hole 33 and abuts against the body part of the human body, is the sum of the cleaning water and the amount of air bubbles, that is, air, so that the amount of cleaning water used can be reduced. . As a result, the hot water storage tank 19 can be downsized and the continuous hot water discharge time can be extended, so that even when there are a plurality of users, hot water shortage does not easily occur.

Further, when the second switch 49 is selected, the intermittent control circuit 50 operates to intermittently open and close the flow path switching valve 42 to intermittently mix air, which is caused by the bubble cleaning and the steady flow. The continuous washing is alternately repeated to eliminate the monotonous feeling of the user and to obtain the massage effect of the portion to be washed. The flow rate Qw of the washing water mixed by the ejector means 24 as in the embodiment shown in FIG.
Since the mixing ratio Rm between the air flow rate Qa and the air flow rate Qa is set to Qa / Qm <1, it is possible to reduce the ejection noise from the nozzle hole 33.

As described above in detail, in the sanitary washing nozzle of the present invention, the washing water containing bubbles is ejected from the nozzle hole after passing through the bubble crushing body provided in the water supply passage of the movable nozzle body. Therefore, even if the size of the bubble is increased, the size of the bubble is reduced again in the process of passing through the crushed body of the bubble, so that the unevenness of the bubble is prevented and the bubble having a stable particle diameter is generated.
As a result, a moderate stimulus and a soft cleaning sensation can be obtained when it is ejected to the human body local area. Further, the bubbles can be repelled to enhance the detergency. Further, since the bubble particle size does not become large, the popping noise of bubbles at the time of jetting from the washing nozzle can be reduced and the scattering of washing water can be reduced.
