And is connected to the wiper cleaning nozzle 13 and the bidet nozzle 14 shown in FIG. 1, respectively.

Nozzle 13 for cleaning and nozzle 1 for bidet
Numeral 4 expands and contracts due to the pressure of washing water. That is, when the cleaning water is not supplied, each nozzle 13, 14
The nozzles 13 and 14 are housed inside the nozzle cover 18 by the urging force of a spring (not shown) attached to the nozzles. When the wash water is supplied,
The pressure of the cleaning water causes the oscillating cleaning nozzle 13 or the bidet nozzle 14 to extend to a predetermined position against the tension of the spring.

An operation unit 29 is provided on the upper portion of the control unit 16, and as shown in FIG.
0, a water temperature knob 32, and a water pressure knob 31 are arranged. By operating the switching knob 30, it is possible to switch between the “oscillation washing” mode and the “bidet” mode, and the temperature of the washing water can be adjusted to a desired temperature by the water temperature knob 32. Further, the water pressure knob 31 can adjust the jet pressure of the washing water.

Therefore, the washing water, which is set to a desired jet pressure and temperature, is supplied to the washing nozzle 13 and the bidet nozzle 14 through the washing pipe 26 and the bidet tube 27 connected to the tank 24 in the control unit 16. Is supplied to.

In this example, as will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, the connecting portion 19 of the control portion 16 is provided with the pressing means 33 for adjusting the jetting position of the washing water. The structure of the pressing means 33 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in the figure, in the inside of the connecting portion 19, an oscillating cleaning tube 26 for supplying cleaning water to the oscillating cleaning nozzle 13 and a bidet tube 27 for supplying cleaning water to the bidet nozzle 14 shown in FIG.
Are arranged at intervals.

A through hole 35 is formed in the upper plate portion 41 of the connecting portion 19 substantially directly above the position where the washing tube 26 is disposed, and through which the connecting shaft 34 constituting the pressing means 33 can be inserted. . A disc-shaped push knob 36 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting shaft 34, and a crushing portion 37 that changes the cross-sectional area of the cleaning tube 26 is fixed to the lower end. A compression spring 38 inserted into the connecting shaft 34 is interposed between the upper surface of the upper plate portion 41 and the lower surface of the push knob 36. Therefore, the push knob 36
Is projected above the upper plate portion 41 by the elastic force of the compression spring 38.

The crushing portion 37 has a flat portion 43 at the center thereof, and has protruding portions 39 protruding downward at both ends. This protruding portion 39 functions as a pressing stopper portion for preventing the shaving cleaning tube 26 from being extremely crushed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the protruding amount T of the protruding portion 39 is selected so that, for example, even when the user pushes the push knob 36 to the maximum extent, the oscillating cleaning tube 26 is not extremely crushed and damaged. Has been done.

The dimensional relationship between the connecting shaft 34 and the compression spring 38 is selected and assembled so that the flat portion 43 of the crushing portion 37 substantially contacts the upper surface of the washing tube 26 as shown in FIG. . This is the washing tube 2 for the push which is pushed by the push knob 36 as described later.
This is for finely adjusting the pressing force of 6.

When finely adjusting the jetting position of the washing water,
First, the "oscillation cleaning" mode is selected by the switching knob 30 of the operation unit 29 shown in FIG. As a result, the motor 21 in the control unit 16 shown in FIG. 2 is driven, and the cleaning water warmed in the tank 24 is supplied to the nozzle 13 for washing by washing through the tube 26 for washing by washing. The supply of cleaning water (water supply pressure) causes the nozzle 13 for oscillating cleaning to extend to a fixed position in front.

As shown in FIG. 7, the oscillating cleaning nozzle 13
Since the nozzle hole 40 is formed at an appropriate angle (for example, about 45 degrees) on the upper side of the tip of the cleaning water, the cleaning water is jetted from the nozzle hole 40 obliquely upward as shown by the solid line a.

When the user depresses the push knob 36 as shown in FIG. 6, the crushing portion 37 connected to the push knob 36 through the connecting shaft 34 causes the compression spring 38.
The tube 26 for crushing is crushed by being lowered against the elasticity of the. Oshiri cleaning tube 2 crushed by this
Since the flow rate of the wash water passing through the nozzle 6 is limited (decreased), the water pressure of the wash water supplied to the nozzle 13 for washing the washing decreases.

Therefore, the jetting force of the washing water is reduced, and as shown by the broken line b in FIG. 7, the washing water is jetted forward from the jetting position before adjustment (the direction of the solid line a). Therefore, the jetting position of the washing water can be adjusted within the range between the solid line a and the broken line b. In practice, the user can wash the local area by ejecting washing water to a desired position while adjusting (adjusting) the degree of pressing of the push knob 36. In this way, the fine adjustment of the jetting position of the washing water can be performed with a simple structure.

In this embodiment, the through hole 35 formed in the upper plate portion 41 for adjusting the ejection position at the time of shaving cleaning is formed on the side of the shaving cleaning tube 26. However, the through hole 35 is formed in the bidet tube 27. It may be formed on the side to adjust the jetting position of the bidet washing water.

8 and 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this example, not only the shaving cleaning but also the spray amount of the cleaning water for the bidet can be adjusted at the same time. For this reason, the through hole 35 is formed in substantially the center of the upper plate portion 45 of the connecting portion 19, and one end side of the crushing portion 42 is fixed to the lower portion of the connecting shaft 34. The flat portion 43 provided in the crushing portion 42 is formed wider than that in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the jetting position of the washing water at the time of washing is adjusted, and when switching from this state to the jetting position adjustment of the washing water for bidet, the push knob 36 as shown in FIG. 9 is used. By rotating 180 degrees, the flat portion 43 of the crushed portion 42 is opposed to the upper surface of the bidet tube 27 from the washing tube 26.

When the push knob 36 is rotated so that the crushing portion 42 faces the position right above the bidet tube 27, the bidet tube 27 can be pressed, so that the bidet washing water is ejected. Can be fine-tuned.

The lower surface of the flat portion 43 and the tubes 26, 27
The upper surface of is spaced at regular intervals. This is to prevent the crushing portion 42 from interfering with one tube when the push knob 36 rotates.
