Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a flow divider of simple structure for a sanitary washer. CONSTITUTION: A flow divider 3 is a changeover nozzle in which a fixed plate water path A9a communicating to a nozzle A, a fixed plate 9 having the fixed plate water path communicating to a nozzle and a rotary plate 8 having a rotary place water path 8a are mutually superimposed. A motor 4 for rotating the rotary plate 8 is also disposed. When the rotary plate 8 is at a position of anus washing, the rotary plate water path 8a of the rotary plate 8 is communicated to the fixed plate water path A9a of the fixed plate 9. Besides, when the rotary plate 3 is at a position of washing a genital area, the rotary plate water path 8a of the rotary plate 8 is communicated to the fixed plate water path of the fixed plate 9.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flow diverter for a sanitary washer, which diverts wash water from the sanitary washer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional shunt for a sanitary washing device, a three-way switching solenoid valve is used to select water to be supplied to two nozzles that jet washing water to different parts from a hot water tank (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-242242). Sho 59-15142).

[0003]

However, the conventional example of using a three-way switching solenoid valve has a drawback that it requires a large space, the mechanism is complicated, and the cost is very high.

The present invention seeks to obtain a shunt for a sanitary washer, which has a rational structure and operates inexpensively and reliably.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a flow distributor is a fixed plate water channel A communicating with a nozzle A and a fixed plate water channel B communicating with a nozzle B.
Is a switching valve in which a fixed plate having a rotary plate and a rotary plate having a rotary plate water channel are superposed in a watertight manner, and further provided with a motor for rotating the rotary plate, and when the rotary plate is in the anus washing position, the rotary plate. And the fixed plate water passage A of the fixed plate communicates with the fixed plate water passage A of the fixed plate, and the rotary plate water passage of the rotary plate communicates with the fixed plate water passage B of the fixed plate when the rotary plate is in the bidet cleaning position. .

[0006]

In the flow divider for the sanitary washer described above, the wash water pressure-fed from the water feed member flows into the main water passage of the flow divider from the water inlet. For example, during anus washing after stool, the rotating plate that rotates in synchronization with the motor is rotated to the anus washing position, and the rotating plate water passage communicates with the fixed plate water passage A communicating with the nozzle A and the water supply port A for washing. Water spouts from the nozzle A toward the anus. Similarly, during bidet cleaning, the rotary plate is similarly rotated to the bidet cleaning position, the rotary plate water channel, the fixed plate water channel B communicating with the nozzle B, and the water supply port B communicate with each other, and the cleaning water is directed from the nozzle B to the local area. Erupt.

Therefore, the wash water from the hot water tank can be jetted toward different local parts.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.

In the figure, 1 is a nozzle means for cleaning different local parts, and 1a is a nozzle A for cleaning the anus 1b.
Is a nozzle B for bidet cleaning, and is provided with a jet port A2a and a jet port B2b, respectively.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a flow divider, which is a fixed plate water passage A9a communicating with the nozzle A1a and a fixed plate water passage B9 communicating with the nozzle B1b.
b is a switching valve in which a fixed plate 9 having b and a disk-shaped rotary plate 8 having a rotary plate water passage 8a are superposed in a watertight manner, and a motor 4 for rotating the rotary plate 8 is attached to this flow divider 3. When the rotary plate 8 is in the anal cleaning position, the rotary plate water channel 8a of the rotary plate 8 communicates with the fixed plate water channel A9a of the fixed plate 9, and when the rotary plate 8 is in the bidet cleaning position, the rotary plate 8 of the rotary plate 8 is rotated. The water channel 8a is attached to the water channel between the water supply member 5 and the nozzles A and B so as to communicate with the fixed plate water channel B9b of the fixed plate 9. Reference numeral 5 denotes a water supply member composed of an electromagnetic pump, 6 denotes a hot water tank communicating with a water supply source, and an underwater heater 7 is installed therein to warm the supplied water to a temperature suitable for cleaning water. The warmed wash water is the water supply member 5
The water is divided by the flow divider 3 via the water and sent to the nozzle A1a or the nozzle B1b depending on the application.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

In the case of using the nozzle A1a for jetting anus from the jet A2a at the time of post-fecal anal washing, the motor 4 is operated in conjunction with a control unit (not shown) by a hand switch (not shown) such as a remote controller. (Eg stepping motor)
Is operated, the rotary plate 8 is rotated to the anal washing position in synchronization with the motor 4, and the rotary plate water channel 8a and the nozzle A1 of the fixed plate 9 are operated.
The fixed plate water passage A9a and the water supply port A3a communicating with a communicate with each other.

After the above rotation is completed, the water supply member 5 operates to supply the cleaning water from the warm water tank 6, and the cleaning water flowing into the flow distributor 3 flows into the nozzle A1a and is sprayed from the ejection port A2a toward the anus. Spout water.

Further, when using the bidet, when the nozzle B1b is used to eject from the ejection port B2b to a local portion, the motor 4 operates in conjunction with the control portion by a hand switch such as a remote controller,
The rotary plate 8 is rotated to the bidet cleaning position in synchronization with the motor 4, and the rotary plate water channel 8a communicates with the fixed plate water channel B9b communicating with the nozzle B1b of the fixed plate 9 and the water supply port B3b.

After the rotation is completed, the water supply member 5 operates to supply the cleaning water from the hot water tank 6, and the cleaning water flowing into the flow distributor 3 flows into the nozzle B1b and is directed toward the local portion from the jet port B2b. Gush out.

[0016]

According to the flow diverter for sanitary washer of the present invention, the wash water from the hot water tank can be jetted toward different local parts. Due to such a simple structure, it is possible to provide an inexpensive flow divider for the sanitary washer.
