FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part when a sanitary washing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a portable sanitary washing device.

The sanitary washing device 13 includes a cylindrical body 14 and
The cleaning nozzle 25 is attached and fixed to the tip of the cleaning nozzle 25. Inside the main body 14, an inner cylinder portion 21 and a side plate 22 functioning as a partition plate are provided.
The left side (small diameter side) compartment accommodates a pump 15 for supplying cleaning water, and the right side (large diameter side) compartment is used as a tank 16 for storing cleaning water. The lower side of the tank 16 serves as a battery storage unit 31.

The water feed pump 15, which is fitted and fixed to the left end of the inner cylinder portion 21 via the support plate 33, is for introducing the wash water in the tank 16 to the washing nozzle 25 through the water feed pipe 29. 17 and a blower 32, and the blower 32 is arranged in the tank 16.

As shown in FIG. 1, a water inlet (intake hole) 23 is provided in the upper part of the inner cylinder portion 21 which is the upper end of the blower 32, and one end of a water supply pipe (rubber hose) 29 is connected to this, and the other end. The end is connected to the base end of the cleaning nozzle 25. In the battery storage portion 31, two batteries 30 for driving the pump 15, that is, two batteries 30 are stored.

The inner cylinder portion 21 is used as a tank 16 for storing cleaning water, and the water injection port 3 formed at the right end portion.
A predetermined amount of wash water (tap water) is poured from 5. The amount of water injected is the amount of water according to the amount used, and it is not necessary to fill the tank.

The above-mentioned cleaning nozzle 25 is provided with a plurality of local cleaning holes 10 at its tip, and a plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40 are provided in the central portion of the nozzle located in the same plane as the local cleaning holes 10. . In this example, as shown in FIG. 4, nozzle cleaning holes (10 in the figure) arranged in two rows 4
0 is formed.

Further, a cylindrical body 42 as shown in FIG. 2 is rotatably inserted inside the cleaning nozzle 25. As shown in FIG. 5, the tubular body 42 has an opening 44 formed in the central portion of the tubular body, the opening 44 having a size corresponding to all the nozzle cleaning holes 40. The opening 44 has a substantially rectangular planar shape as shown in FIG. 5B, but this shape depends on the overall array shape of the plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40 formed in the nozzle 25.

On the right end side of the tubular body 40, as shown in FIG. 5B, a lever (operating lever) 4 for rotating operation which is aligned with the opening 44 and extends in the direction perpendicular to the tubular body 40.
6 are formed.

The outer diameter of the cylindrical body 42 is selected to be substantially equal to the inner diameter of the nozzle 25, and the opening 44 is inserted to a position facing the plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40. In this state, the length of the operation lever 14 and the position where the operation lever 14 is formed with respect to the tubular body 42 are selected so that the operation lever 46 penetrates the upper slit 14a of the apparatus body 14 and the tip portion thereof protrudes out of the apparatus body 14 by a predetermined length. It

In the case where the tubular body 42 is constructed in this way, when the operating lever 46 is rotated, the tubular body 42 rotates in that direction, so that the relative position of the opening 44 with respect to the plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40. Can be changed. For example, the operating lever 46
Is in the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG.
Shall block all nozzle cleaning holes 40.

In this normal use mode, the motor 1
When 7 is driven, the pump operates and washing water is guided to the nozzle 25 via the water supply pipe 29.

This allows hygienic cleaning of the local area.

On the other hand, in the nozzle cleaning mode, the operating lever 46 is tilted to the state shown by the broken line in FIG. Then, the opening 44 faces all of the plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40. Therefore, in this state, the water pump 15
3, the cleaning water guided through the water supply pipe 29 is sprayed through the local cleaning hole 10 as shown in FIG. 3, and is sprayed outside through the plurality of nozzle cleaning holes 40 through the opening 44.

With this, the cleaning water is spread all over the nozzle, whereby the entire nozzle is cleaned with this cleaning water. Since all of the plurality of nozzle holes formed in the nozzle 25 are used during nozzle cleaning, the force of spraying cleaning water is reduced to a fraction of that in the case of using only the local cleaning hole 10. Therefore, the washing water does not spout vigorously,
It spouts outside while flowing on the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle. As a result, since dirt and the like attached to a part of the nozzle 25 is washed off with this cleaning water, the entire nozzle 25 can be cleaned without bothering the user. When the washing of the nozzle 25 is completed, the water pump 15 is stopped, and the operation lever 46 is returned to the original position, the tubular body 42 rotates and the plurality of nozzle washing holes 40 are closed by the tubular body 40. .

As described above, if the operating lever 46 is tilted only when cleaning the nozzle, the cleaning water is supplied to the nozzle cleaning hole 40, and the nozzle cleaning can be performed.

An AC adapter or the like may be housed in the battery housing section 31.

[0027]

As described above, in the present invention, the nozzle cleaning hole is provided in the nozzle, and the nozzle cleaning hole is opened only when necessary to clean the nozzle.

According to this, since the entire nozzle hole formed in the nozzle is used for cleaning the nozzle, the cleaning water almost entirely flows over the entire surface of the nozzle, so that the nozzle can be cleaned sanitarily. As described above, according to the present invention, the nozzle cleaning can be performed very easily. Therefore, it has a feature that the nozzle can be hygienically cleaned without bothering the user. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is very suitable to be applied to a portable sanitary washing device or the like in which the nozzle is easily soiled.
