The tip of a flexible water supply hose 8 is connected to the tube 6. Reference numeral 27 is a full water sensor provided at the upper opening of the cleaning bag 4.

A drain port 9 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning bag 4, and the other end of a flexible drain hose 10 having one end connected to the drain port 9 is connected to a tank 11. Reference numeral 12 is a temperature sensor provided in the tank 11 for measuring the water temperature. It should be noted that 50 to 60 liters of hot and cold water can be stored in the tank 11.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a water supply pipe 22, a pump 14, and a heater 1.
5, a sterilizing device 16 composed of an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp, a ceramic filter 17, a three-way electromagnetic switching valve 18 are provided in series, and a control box provided with a control circuit board 19, a switch 20, etc., the pump 14 in the tank 11. From the water inlet 21 with a filter provided at the bottom to the tank 11
The cleaning water in the inside is sucked and passed through the heater 15 to heat and sterilize it, and by passing through the ceramic filter 17, fine impurities are filtered, and the cleaned cleaning water is transferred to the three-way electromagnetic switching valve 18 Then, it is pressure-fed to the annular tube 6 through the water supply hose 8. A return pipe 23 for returning the washing water to the tank 11 is connected to the three-way electromagnetic switching valve 18.

In the cleaning apparatus thus constructed, the inclined table 2 is used, or a futon or the like is rolled under the back of the disabled person 3 lying on his / her back on the bed 1 to intervene the disabled person 3
The upper half of the body so that it is higher than the lower half of the body.
Is hung on its shoulder, and the upper end opening of the cleaning bag 4 is closed by lightly tightening the winding belt 24, if necessary.

Then, hot water of about 40 ° C. is put into the tank 11 as washing water, and the switch 20 is operated to drive the pump 14, the heater 15 and the sterilizer 16 so that the washing water in the tank 11 is pumped from the water suction port 21 to the pump 14. Heater 15, sterilizer 1
6, ceramic filter 17, three-way electromagnetic switching valve 18,
