DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet bowl to which a hot water cleaning device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram thereof. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment,
The toilet body 2, a low tank 3 placed on the rear upper surface of the toilet body 2, a toilet seat 4 and a toilet lid 5, and a hot water washing device 1 installed on one side of the toilet body 2 as a whole. Have been. The hot water cleaning device 1 has a heater for heating therein, and heats the cleaning water supplied from the tap water to a predetermined temperature to keep the temperature of the cleaning water, a hot water tank 6, an ozone water generation device 7, and a cleaning nozzle 8. Consisting of

The ozone water generator 7 comprises an ozone generator 9 and an ozone mixer 10 as shown in FIG. The ozone generation device 9 is a well-known technology for generating an ozonized gas by causing a chemical action of discharge by passing air between electrodes that are discharging. The ozone mixing device 10 is a well-known technique for generating ozone water by blowing and dissolving ozonized gas generated by the ozone generation device 9 into water stored in a tank.
Excessive ozonized gas that has not been dissolved in water is recovered and reused.

The ozone contained in the ozone water thus generated is an active oxygen species having the strongest oxidizing power next to fluorine in nature because it easily separates the third atom.
Utilizing this chemically active property, sterilization, deodorization, antifouling,
Effects such as decomposition of organic compounds can be obtained. This active property not only oxidizes the cell walls, cell membranes, chromosomes, DNA, RNA, etc. of the bacteria and provides an antibacterial effect that suppresses the growth of the bacteria, but also has a bactericidal effect that kills it. The effect is far greater than in the case of the toilet flushing device used. In addition, ozone has an effect of being useful also for treating wounds, and has the advantage that it has a low persistence and does not cause problems such as secondary pollution because it is self-decomposed.

The hot water cleaning device 1 uses the ozone gas generated by the ozone generation device 9 to convert the ozone gas into the ozone mixing device 10.
Then, it is dissolved in warm water supplied from the warm water tank 6 and is discharged from the washing nozzle 8 as ozone water. Therefore,
When the user cleans a part to be cleaned, such as a local part, with the ozone water, it has an effect of treating a wound of the part to be cleaned, such as a local part, in addition to the above-described sterilization and antibacterial action. It also contributes to the sterilization and cleaning of the cleaning nozzle 8 itself.

The washing water discharged from the washing nozzle 8 is sprayed toward the toilet bowl instead of being used for washing a part to be washed such as a local part of the user, and is used for washing the toilet bowl. When used for cleaning or after cleaning,
The washing water flowing through the toilet body 2 can contain ozone water, and effects such as sterilization, deodorization, antifouling, decomposition of organic compounds, and the like specific to the ozone water can be obtained. These effects are said to be much greater than with acidic water. In addition, when used as after-washing, ozone water is included in the water sealed in the toilet bowl, and a layer or film of ozone water is formed on the surface of the water sealed, and it is ensured that odor is generated. Prevention and an excellent deodorant effect can be obtained.

The ozone water generator 7 is always ON.
It may be configured to operate to generate ozone water,
In consideration of prolonging the life of the discharge electrode portion of the ozone generator 9, it is preferable to generate the ozone water by turning ON only when necessary. As means for that purpose, for example, a sensor for detecting a human body such as a seating sensor for detecting that the user is seated on the toilet seat 4 or a sensor using infrared rays for detecting that the user has entered the toilet room ON / OFF operation. Further, in a water supply system in which the low tank 3 is not provided and cleaning water is directly supplied from tap water, the water supply system may be configured to operate in conjunction with a flash valve or an ON / OFF switch of a shower toilet.

Incidentally, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed. For example, the ozone water generation device 7 may be provided in the hot water cleaning device 1 and may be provided on the upstream side of the hot water tank 6.

[0016]

As described above, in the present invention,
Since the ozone generator is incorporated in the main body of the hot water cleaning device, it is possible to improve the hygiene of the portion to be cleaned such as the local part of the user and to treat wounds, and the device is easy to use. In addition, it is possible to perform sterilization, deodorization, antifouling, treatment, clogging of piping, and the like, which are much better than the case of using acidic water, and a comfortable toilet can be used.
