DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning a human body part which can clean a human body part, positively induce the user's convenience, and encourage defecation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 17 is a block diagram of a conventional human body local cleaning apparatus of this type, and FIG. 18 is a sectional view of a cleaning nozzle used here. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cleaning nozzle having a jet port 2 and reference numeral 3 denotes a hot water tank for heating and storing cleaning water, in which a heater 4 is provided. 5 is a water pump for supplying washing water, and 6 is a water stop solenoid valve. The cleaning nozzle 1 is provided in the throttle unit 7, the adhering walls 8, 9 provided on both sides of the jet port 2, and a pair of vortex chambers 10, 11 provided on both sides in the outflow direction of the jet and the vortex chambers 10, 11. It has intake pores 12 and 13 and constitutes a fluid oscillation element type cleaning nozzle.

[0003] In this configuration, when hot water from the hot water tank 3 flows into the washing nozzle 1, the flow velocity is increased by passing through the throttle section 7, and the hot water is attached to, for example, the adhesion wall 8 side by the Coanda effect (fluid adhesion effect). , In the direction of arrow A. At this time, the washing water flows into the vortex chamber 10, and the vortex is generated, so that the air is sucked from the intake pores 12, and the pressure in the vortex chamber 10 increases. This pressure acts to move the water flow to the adhering wall 9 side, and the jet flow moves to the arrow B side. By repeating these operations, a self-oscillation state is established, and cleaning is performed while the jet stream swings. In this manner, the water flow oscillates, thereby improving the detergency, and at the time of rinsing, a rhythmic pressure stimulus is applied to the anus to induce anal reflex.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, although the pressure stimulation of the washing water has a certain effect of inducing consent, the washing water always oscillates at a predetermined cycle, so that the washing water leaks into the anus. It is rare, and it is not possible to induce stool by so-called enema action due to leakage of washing water into the anus. If the flow rate of the washing water is increased and the washing dynamic pressure is increased, the washing water easily leaks into the anus, but on the other hand, the bodily sensation during washing deteriorates, and in severe cases, the pain may be accompanied by even pain. Thus, there was a problem that a clear bowel movement inducing effect could not be expected.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device for cleaning a human body part which can be used comfortably by a user without feeling disgust or pain and which can induce a sense of convenience very effectively.

[0020]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a human body local cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, water supplied from a water supply pipe 14 is supplied by a main solenoid valve 15 which is a water supply control means for starting and stopping the supply of the cleaning water, and a flow rate which is also a water supply control means for adjusting the flow rate of the cleaning water. Through the control valve 16, it reaches a hot water tank 17 which is a heating means. The hot water tank 17 includes a heater 18 for heating the water stored therein to an appropriate temperature and a thermistor 19 for detecting the temperature of the hot water inside. Hot water tank 17
The hot water pipe 20 connected to the outlet of the nozzle unit is branched in two directions, and the first internal flow path 24 and the second internal flow path 2 provided in the nozzle unit 23 via the switching solenoid valves 21 and 22, respectively.
5 respectively. At the tip of the first internal flow path, a first jet port 26 serving as a discharge means is formed, and at the tip of the second internal flow path, a second jet port 27 also serving as a discharge means is formed.

An instruction to discharge cleaning water from the first nozzle and the second nozzle is given from the remote controller 28. Remote control 28
Is a buttocks switch 29 for instructing normal anal washing, a bidet switch 30 for instructing washing of the female part, a stop switch 31 for instructing to stop washing, a constipation inducing switch 32 as a constipation inducing washing setting means, and a flow rate of washing water. An adjusting section 33 for changing the temperature and temperature is provided.

Further, a controller 35 which receives a radio signal from the remote controller 28 and controls the components represented by the dotted lines in FIG. 1 and which has a bowel movement inducing operation control unit 34 therein is provided. I have.

In FIG. 1, the nozzle unit 23
Shows only for anal cleaning, and a nozzle unit for bidet cleaning is provided separately with a similar configuration, but the description here is omitted.

FIG. 2 shows the details of the nozzle unit 23.
FIG. 2 is a view of the nozzle unit 23 as viewed from above, and a part of the nozzle unit 23 is shown for explanation. A first internal flow path 24 and a second internal flow path 25 are provided inside the nozzle unit 23, and are connected to a first jet port 26 and a second jet port 27, respectively. The first ejection port 26 has a single round hole shape, and the washing water ejected from the first ejection port 26 becomes a single spot-like jet. In addition, the second ejection port 27 has a configuration in which a plurality of round holes are regularly arranged on the same circumference, and the jet ejected from this has a shower-like shape in which thin water streams are bundled. . That is, by selecting whether to jet the washing water from the first jet port 26 or the second jet port 27, it is possible to switch between a spot-like jet and a shower-like jet.

[0027] The mechanism of inducing constipation is when physical irritation given to the anus by irrigation water induces a defecation reflex, and irrigation water leaking into the anus stimulates a receptor present in the anus. It may also induce a bowel movement. The former is evident from the fact that the mother of a newborn puppy licks its anus to assist with bowel movements, and the latter is evident from the everyday fact that she cannot tolerate bowel movements with enema or diarrhea. In addition, both are well-known facts at related academic societies. In addition, when the anus is stimulated at the entrance, the defecation reflex occurs, and the anus has a property that it gradually relaxes. It can leak into the anus. As a result, it is possible to effectively induce the constipation without causing the washing water to leak into the anus while feeling unpleasant by using a strong water flow that feels pain.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.
First, the operation during normal cleaning will be described. When the user operates the buttocks switch 29 of the remote controller 28 to give an instruction to start the normal cleaning, the controller 35 opens the water stop solenoid valve 15 almost simultaneously with opening the switching solenoid valves 21 and 22. Further, the opening of the flow control valve 16 is adjusted so that a predetermined flow of water specified by the control unit 33 of the remote controller 28 is supplied to the hot water tank 17. Due to the pressure of the water supplied from the water supply pipe 14 by this operation, the hot water heated and stored at an appropriate temperature in the hot water tank 17 is supplied to the nozzle unit 23 via the hot water pipe 20 and the switching solenoid valves 21 and 22. This hot water is injected from both the first ejection port 26 and the second ejection port 27 to the user's anus via the first internal channel 24 and the second internal channel 25. At this time, the flow rate of the washing water can be changed by pressing the control unit 33. Further, when the stop switch 31 is pressed and an instruction to stop washing is given, the controller 35 closes the water stop solenoid valve 15, the flow control valve 16, the switching solenoid valves 21 and 22 in this order, and shifts to a standby state. I do. In the hot water tank 17, a controller 35 controls the energization of the heater 18 based on a signal from the thermistor 19, so that warm water of an appropriate temperature is stored and stored.

Next, the operation at the time of the toilet-induced cleaning will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a time chart showing the operation of the water stop solenoid valve 15, the flow rate control valve 16, and the switching solenoid valves 21 and 22 after the user presses the convenience inducing switch 32 of the remote controller 28 and cleaning is started. As shown in FIG. 3, when an instruction to start washing is given, the incentive operation control unit 34 provided in the controller 35 opens the water stop electromagnetic valve 15 almost simultaneously with opening the switching electromagnetic valve 22. Flow control valve 1
The opening 6 is opened to a predetermined opening indicated by the adjusting section 33 of the remote controller 28. With this operation, the appropriate-temperature washing water supplied from the hot water tank 17 is jetted from the switching jet valve 22 through the second internal flow path 25 and from the second jet port 27. In addition, the valve opening degree of the flow control valve 16 is set so that the cleaning flow rate at this time is about 70% of the normal cleaning time.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the shape of the second ejection port 27 is such that a plurality of round holes are regularly arranged on the same circumference, so that the jet becomes a weak shower-like water flow. This shower-like water flow softly stimulates the user's anus and acts as a relaxation-promoting jet that promotes anal relaxation.

When a predetermined time elapses from this state, the bowel movement inducing operation control section 34 closes the switching electromagnetic valve 22 and opens the switching electromagnetic valve 21, and furthermore, the flow control valve 1.
6 is opened to a predetermined opening. With this operation, the washing water supplied from the hot water tank 17 is jetted from the first jet port 26 through the switching electromagnetic valve 21 via the first internal flow path 24. The cleaning flow rate at this time is set to be about 20% higher than that in the normal cleaning.
Is a single round hole, the jet becomes a strong concentrated jet. Since this concentrated jet is thin and has high dynamic pressure, it easily leaks into the anus during washing, and functions as an anal-penetrating jet.

The bowel movement inducing operation control unit 3 provided in the controller 35
4 performs control to repeat the relaxation promoting jet and the anal-penetrating jet at a predetermined cycle, as is apparent from FIG. Here, the predetermined cycle was a 4 second cycle of relaxation relaxation jet 1 second and anal penetration jet 3 second. As a result, the anus whose tension has been relieved by the relaxation-promoting jet is suddenly hit by the anal-intruding jet, so that the washing water easily leaks into the anus, and the user's convenience is effectively induced. This is also the result of an experiment conducted in practice, in which the combination with the relaxation-promoting jet has a higher probability of washing water leaking into the anus than the washing with only the anal-penetrating jet, and the result is also excellent in bodily sensation. It can be said that it is very effective in inducing bowel movements.

Further, by setting the switching cycle of the relaxation promoting jet and the anal infiltrating jet to 4 seconds, it is possible to more effectively induce the user's feeling without discomfort.
This is because the anal canal performs peristalsis about 15 times per minute. By applying a stimulus in conjunction with this rhythm, the anal canal can be activated and used. The fact that people have a favorable impression is evident in rehabilitation in the field of treatment of intestinal washes with intermittent stimulation and actual experiments.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of a human body local cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In FIG. 4, water supplied from a water supply pipe 36 is supplied to a water stop solenoid valve 37 which is a water supply control means for starting and stopping the supply of cleaning water, and a residual chlorine removing means for removing residual chlorine in the cleaning water. A certain filter 38, a flow control valve 39 serving as a water supply control means for controlling the flow rate of the washing water, and a flow sensor 40 detecting the flow rate of the water pass through a heat exchanger 41 serving as an instantaneous heating means. Here, the instantaneous heat exchanger has a configuration in which water flowing into the heat exchanger 41 can be heated to an appropriate temperature before reaching the outlet. The heat exchanger 41 is provided with a high limit switch 42 which detects an abnormal rise in temperature and cuts off the current, and a hot water pipe 43 near its outlet is provided with a hot water thermistor 44 which detects the temperature of the washing water. At the end of the hot water pipe 43, a cleaning nozzle 45, which is a discharge means, is provided at the end, and forms a cleaning nozzle unit 46. The cleaning nozzle 45 is of a type in which protrusion and retraction are controlled by a front-rear drive motor 47 as a driving unit. Further, between the cleaning nozzle 45 and the heat exchanger 41,
Air is mixed into the hot water from a motor driven air pump 49 which is an air mixing means via an air pipe 48. Then, the hot water supplied from the cleaning nozzle 45 is used for cleaning the local area of the user sitting on the toilet seat 50. The toilet seat 50 is provided with a seating switch 70 for detecting the seating of the user.

An instruction to discharge hot water from the cleaning nozzle 45 is given from the remote controller 51. The remote controller 51 has a buttocks switch 52 for setting normal anal cleaning, a bidet cleaning switch 53, a cleaning stop switch 54, and a flow rate and temperature control unit 5.
5. A defecation trigger switch 56 which is a defecation-induced cleaning setting means.
Etc. are provided.

A controller 58 which receives a radio signal from the remote controller 51 and controls the components represented by the dotted lines in FIG. 4 and includes a bowel movement inducing operation control unit 57 therein is provided. I have.

The heat exchanger 41 is a ceramic heater 5
A meandering water channel 60 is provided on both sides of the heater 9. When the ceramic heater 59 is energized and the temperature rises, the heat is transmitted to the water flowing through the water channel 60 to generate hot water.

In FIG. 4, the nozzle unit 4
Reference numeral 6 denotes only an anus, but the nozzle unit for cleaning bidet is separately provided in a similar configuration, and the expression on the drawing is omitted.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show details of the cleaning nozzle 45, and FIGS. 7 and 8 show images of the shape of the cleaning jet.

FIG. 5 is a top view of the cleaning nozzle 45 as viewed from above, and FIG. 6 is a cutaway sectional view of the cleaning nozzle 45 as viewed from the side.
FIG. 7 shows an image of a jet when air is mixed, and FIG. 8 shows an image of a jet when air is not mixed. As shown in FIG. 6, the flow path in the cleaning nozzle 45 is the nozzle unit 4
From the flow path 61 formed in the cleaning nozzle 6, the flow path 6 in the cleaning nozzle
The cross-sectional area of the flow path gradually decreases as reaching 2 and 63, and expands slightly in the shape of a trumpet at the expanding section 66 through the parallel section 65 near the nozzle port 64. With this configuration, the cleaning jet at the time of aeration (hereinafter referred to as “aeration jet”)
As shown in FIG. 7, the washing water is supplied to the human body part in a state where the washing water is swung over a relatively wide range by the action of the air mixing and the expanding section 66. The cleaning jet (hereinafter, referred to as “direct jet”) when the mixing of air is stopped is discharged in a spot in a relatively narrow range in a direct jet state by the action of the parallel portion 65 as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
First, the operation during normal cleaning will be described. When the user is seated on the toilet seat 50 and the posterior washing switch 52 is operated to instruct normal washing, the controller 58 opens the water stop solenoid valve 37 and also opens the flow control valve 39 to a predetermined opening. Then, the signal of the flow sensor 40 is taken in. Here, if the flow rate read signal from the flow rate sensor 40 is 200 cc / min or more, it is determined that there is water flow in the heat exchanger 41, and the power supply to the ceramic heater 59 provided in the heat exchanger 41 is started to perform cleaning. Heat the water. Then, the flow rate control valve 39 is controlled so as to have a predetermined flow rate value set by the control unit 55 of the remote controller 51, and the hot water temperature signal from the hot water thermistor 44 is read, and the ceramic heater 59 is controlled so that the predetermined hot water temperature is obtained. Is varied. Further, when the temperature of the hot water reaches a predetermined value, the front / rear drive motor 47 is driven to gradually protrude the cleaning nozzle 45, and the air pump 49 is driven to mix air into the cleaning water.

The washing water whose flow rate has been adjusted by the flow control valve 39 and which has been heated to an appropriate temperature by the heat exchanger 41 is supplied to the air pump 49.
After the air is mixed through the air pipe 48, the air reaches the nozzle unit 46 and is discharged from the cleaning nozzle 45 to the human body. Since the washing jet here is the above-described aerated jet, a relatively wide area of the human body part is swung and washed. Then, the flow rate is improved without impairing the cleaning effect and the user's bodily sensation as compared with the conventional case of washing only with warm water due to the improvement of the ejection speed at the nozzle port 64 due to the mixing of air and the effect of popping the mixed air. Can be washed in less than half.

Further, by using the instantaneous heat exchanger 41, compared with the conventional hot water storage type heating means, there is no heat radiation loss at the time of hot water storage and the flow rate of washing water is reduced by half. A significant reduction in power consumption can be achieved.

In addition, since residual chlorine contained in tap water and said to be a cause of anal pruritus is removed by the filter 38, it has been considered that long-term washing does not adversely affect a human body part. I have. Furthermore, in the conventional hot water storage type human body local cleaning device, since hot water is heated and stored in the hot water tank, bacteria are propagated in the hot water tank by removing residual chlorine, and instead, the human body local cleaning device is used. Although this may have an adverse effect, the instantaneous heat exchanger 41 is employed here, so there is no such concern. In this case, the filter 38 is made of activated carbon, but may be made of an ion exchange resin, a chemical such as sodium thiosulfate or calcium sulfite, or a catalyst using tungsten, titanium, or molybdenum.

Next, the operation at the time of the incentive-induced cleaning will be described. Next, the operation at the time of the bowel movement will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a time chart showing the operation of the water stop solenoid valve 37, the flow rate control valve 39, and the air pump 49 when the user presses the bowel movement trigger switch 56 of the remote controller 51 to start the bowel movement triggering cleaning. The operation of each component from the start of cleaning until the cleaning nozzle 45 protrudes is almost the same as during normal cleaning.
The movement after the protrusion is mainly shown.

In FIG. 9, when the washing nozzle 45 is protruded after the instruction to start the washing is issued, the bowel movement inducing operation control unit 57 provided in the controller 58 causes the air pump 49 to operate for a predetermined period.
It is turned on and off at a predetermined voltage. Further, when the air pump 49 is turned on, the flow control valve 39 is held at a predetermined opening, and the flow control valve 39 is greatly opened in synchronization with the turning off of the air pump 49. Here, when the air pump 49 is ON, the flow rate of the cleaning water is the same as during normal cleaning, and when OFF, the flow rate of the cleaning water is about twice that during normal cleaning. 39 are set. The applied voltage is set so that the amount of air sent into the washing water by the air pump 49 is about 80% of the amount during normal washing.

Also, when the aerated jet is being jetted,
That is, when the air pump 49 is in the ON state,
The controller 58 varies the amount of electricity supplied to the ceramic heater 59 to supply relatively lukewarm (37 ° C.) hot water. Immediately before switching to the direct jet, that is, the air pump 49
Immediately before turning off the heater, the amount of electricity to the ceramic heater 59 is increased to increase the hot water temperature at the start of direct jet ejection (4).
(0 ° C.).

By these operations, the aerated jet in the second embodiment is set to have less stimulating and warmer warm water than that in the normal washing, which stimulates the anus softly with a soft water flow, and makes the anus soft. It is effective for relaxing the anus with warm water and promoting relaxation of the anus. Furthermore, the direct jet from which air is stopped is a relatively strong concentrated jet due to a large increase in the flow rate, and is suitable for leaking into the anus. Further, since the warm water is jetted at the start of jetting of the direct jet, there is also an effect of giving a thermal stimulus to the anus and inducing constipation.

The cycle of repetition of the aerated jet and the direct jet in Example 2 was an 8-second cycle of 2 seconds of the aerated jet and 6 seconds of the direct jet. As a result, the suddenly concentrated jet hits the anus whose relaxation is promoted by the aerated jet, so that the washing water easily leaks into the anus, and the user's convenience is effectively induced. In addition, the use of the instantaneous heat exchanger 41 enables continuous long-time cleaning, which greatly contributes to inducing convenience. In other words, prolonged irrigation promotes relaxation of the anus, which makes it easier for the irrigation water to leak into the anus, and by stimulating the bowel peristalsis by inducing a continuous defecation reflex. it can. Further, since the instant heat exchanger 41 has a small heat capacity, the instantaneous heat exchanger 41 can also quickly change the temperature of the supplied hot water, and can apply a temperature stimulus to the anus.

Since the flow rate of the cleaning water is greatly changed during the direct jet discharge in the second embodiment, the controller 58 changes the amount of power supplied to the ceramic heater 59 to a large extent so that the cleaning water of the appropriate temperature is supplied. Control is performed so that it can be obtained. However, in winter, when the incoming water temperature is extremely low and there is insufficient capacity to boil water at the set flow rate, the flow control valve 39 is controlled, and control is performed to reduce the flow rate to a point where the water can be boiled to an appropriate temperature. .

In this embodiment, the air pump 49 is activated immediately after the cleaning nozzle 45 is projected to eject the aerated jet, so that the user is not surprised at the start of the cleaning. It is also effective to set a slightly weaker direct jet in order to make the jetting easier.

(Embodiment 3) A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The third embodiment is the same as the second embodiment in the configuration and the operation at the time of normal cleaning. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted, and the operation at the time of the inconvenience-induced cleaning, which is partially different in operation, will be described using FIG.

FIG. 10 is a time chart showing the operation of the water stop solenoid valve 37, the flow control valve 39, and the air pump 49 when the user presses the bowel movement trigger switch 56 of the remote controller 51 and the bowel movement triggering cleaning is started. . Here, the operation of each component from the start of cleaning to the protruding of the cleaning nozzle 45 is almost the same as during normal cleaning. Therefore, FIG. 10 mainly shows the operation after the protruding of the cleaning nozzle 45.

In FIG. 10, when an instruction to start washing is given, the controller 58 opens the water shutoff solenoid valve 37 and the flow control valve 3
9 is opened to a predetermined opening. When the temperature of the cleaning water reaches a predetermined value, the cleaning nozzle 45 is discharged, and the air pump 49 is activated at a predetermined voltage. Here controller 5
The constipation inducing operation control unit 57 provided in 8 controls the flow control valve 39, and adjusts the opening thereof in two stages so that the amount of washing water increases and decreases in a predetermined cycle. The voltage applied to the air pump 49 is also changed in two stages in synchronization with the opening adjustment of the flow control valve 39. As is clear from FIG. 10, the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is set high when the opening of the flow control valve 39 is small, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is set low when the opening of the flow control valve 39 is large. I have. Here, when the opening degree of the flow control valve 39 is small, the opening degree is set so that the flow rate of the washing water becomes the same as that of the normal washing. Is set to be about 80% of the value. Further, when the opening of the flow control valve 39 is large, the opening is set so that the flow rate of the washing water is about 1.5 times that of the normal washing, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 depends on the amount of air to be sent. It is set to be about 20% of the value during normal cleaning.

By these operations, the flow rate of the washing jet ejected from the washing nozzle 45 changes at a predetermined cycle, so that the user's bodily sensation greatly changes and intermittent stimulation is given to the anus. When the degree of opening of the flow control valve 39 is small, the same jet as the air-mixed jet of Example 2 is obtained, and the anus is softly stimulated with a softer water stream as compared to the time of normal washing, thereby promoting the relaxation of the anus. It is effective for In addition, the flow control valve 39
When the opening is large, the ratio of the air mixed into the washing water is much smaller than when the opening is small, so that the jet becomes a slightly thicker direct jet in Example 2. . This is because, as the amount of air is reduced, the repelling action is also significantly reduced, so that the air does not diffuse widely as in the case of the aerated jet. However, if air is mixed in even in a small amount, the apparent volume of the cleaning water increases, and the flow velocity of the cleaning water ejected from the nozzle port 64 is improved by the proportion. Therefore, if the flow rate of the washing water is the same, the user feels stronger when a small amount of air is mixed, and the sensation is improved by making the washing jet slightly thicker. For this reason, even if the flow rate of the washing water is reduced, it is possible to obtain a jet that is sufficient to leak into the anus and has an excellent bodily sensation. Note that, also in the third embodiment, the cycle of repetition of the aerated jet and the direct jet was an 8-second cycle of 2 seconds of the aerated jet and 6 seconds of the direct jet. As a result, a concentrated jet with a small amount of air abruptly hits the anus whose relaxation is promoted by the aerated jet, so that the washing water easily leaks into the anus and effectively induces the user's convenience. Is done.
Further, in the third embodiment, although the concentrated jet is small in amount, the air is mixed therein, so that it is excellent in the bodily sensation, and the washing water is infiltrated into the anus with a small amount of washing water as compared with the case where no air is mixed. Can be.

(Embodiment 4) A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the fourth embodiment is almost the same as that of the second and third embodiments, except that a driving unit for changing the cleaning position and an operation input unit for inputting the operation are provided. This will be described with reference to FIGS.
The components having the same reference numerals as those in the second embodiment have the same structure, and therefore, the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram showing a human body local cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention, and FIG. 12 shows details of a remote controller 51. Embodiment 4 is similar to Embodiment 2 in FIG.
In addition to the above configuration, the nozzle mount 67, which is a component of the nozzle unit 46, and the left and right drive motor 6 as a driving unit that drives the nozzle unit 46 left and right as viewed from the nozzle upper surface.
8 is provided. The nozzle unit 46 is configured such that the left and right drive motor 68 uses a crank mechanism to drive the nozzle mount 6.
7 is reciprocated right and left, so that the cleaning nozzle 45
Has a structure in which the head is swung right and left around the fulcrum 69. Further, the toilet seat 50 is provided with a seating switch 70 for detecting the user's seating, and a controller 58 for receiving a radio signal from the remote controller 51 and controlling each component is provided with a bowel movement inducing operation control unit 57. Besides the nozzle drive control unit 71
Is provided.

In FIG. 12, the remote controller 51 is provided with a nozzle position switch 72 as an operation input means capable of inputting signals in four directions, in addition to the adjustment section 55 for inputting the setting of the cleaning flow rate and the temperature. The nozzle position switch 72 includes a front switch 73, a rear switch 74, a right switch 75, and a left switch 76, each of which is a push-type switch.

Next, the operation of the fourth embodiment in this configuration will be described. First, the operation at the time of the normal cleaning is almost the same as that of the second embodiment. However, when the user wants to adjust the cleaning position after the start of the cleaning, the nozzle position can be changed by operating the nozzle position switch 72. . That is, for example, when the user desires to move the washing position a little further forward, a wireless signal is emitted from the remote controller 51 by operating the front switch 73, and the nozzle drive control unit 71 receiving the signal sends the wireless signal to the front-rear drive motor. Controlling the cleaning nozzle 45
Act to advance the. The same applies when other operations are desired, but the front switch 73 or the rear switch 74
Is pressed, the front / rear drive motor 47 is turned on and the right switch 7 is turned on again.
When the 5 or left switch 76 is pressed, the left and right drive motors 68 are respectively driven to change the position of the cleaning nozzle 45. As a result, the washing position can be changed not only to the front and rear but also to the left and right, so that an accurate washing position can be selected without the user moving the body, and comfortable washing can be performed. The position of the cleaning nozzle 45 that can be changed by the front-rear drive motor 47 and the left-right drive motor 68 is provided with a soft restriction.
The setting is made so that even if 2 is operated excessively, the washing water does not blow out beyond a predetermined range. This is a measure to prevent washing water from scattering. Further, when it is detected by the seat switch 70 that the user has left the toilet seat, the nozzle drive control unit 71 returns the cleaning nozzle 45 to the initial position, and returns to the predetermined position when the next user uses the cleaning nozzle 45. The setting is made so that the washing water is spouted. This corresponds to the fact that the washing position differs depending on the user, and first, the washing is started from the average washing position.

Next, a description will be given of the washing at the time of inducing stool with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 shows a state in which the user presses the bowel movement trigger switch 56 of the remote controller 51 to start the bowel movement triggering wash water solenoid valve 15, the flow control valve 16, the air pump 49, the front / rear drive motor 47, and the left / right drive motor 68. 6 is a time chart illustrating an operation. Note that the operation of each component from the start of cleaning to the protrusion of the cleaning nozzle 45 is almost the same as that in the normal cleaning of the second embodiment, and FIG. 13 mainly shows the operation after the protrusion of the cleaning nozzle 45.

In FIG. 13, when the start of washing is instructed, the controller 58 opens the water shutoff electromagnetic valve 37 and the flow control valve 3
9 is opened to a predetermined opening. When the temperature of the washing water reaches a predetermined value, the front / rear drive motor 47 is driven, and the washing nozzle 4 is driven.
5 to a predetermined position and an air pump 49.
At a predetermined voltage. In FIG. 13, the front-rear drive motor 47 is turned on before the nozzle projecting time is an operation for projecting the cleaning nozzle 45 to a predetermined position. Here, the bowel movement inducing operation control unit 5 provided in the controller 58
7 sends a signal to the nozzle drive control unit 71, and the nozzle drive control unit 71 controls the front / rear drive motor 47 and the left / right drive motor 68 so that the cleaning nozzle 45 repeats a circular motion and a stationary operation at a predetermined cycle. FIG. 13 shows only the ON-OFF operation of both the front-rear drive motor 47 and the left-right drive motor 68. However, when both motors are ON, the respective motors rotate so as to basically perform a circular motion. doing. Here, the circular movement of the cleaning nozzle 45 indicates that the cleaning nozzle 45 moves back and forth and right and left in a predetermined trajectory so that the cleaning water spouted from the nozzle port 64 hits in a circle at the user's anus. The stationary state refers to an operation in which the position of the cleaning nozzle 45 is changed and then stopped at that position so that the cleaning water falls on the center of the circular motion.
That is, the washing water spouted from the washing nozzle 45 repeats the operation of washing the outer circumference of the user's anus in an arc shape for a predetermined time, moving to the center, and stopping there for a predetermined time.
In FIG. 13, even after the opening of the flow control valve 39 starts to increase, the front-rear drive motor 47, the left-right drive motor 68
Both being ON indicate an operation for moving the cleaning nozzle 45 to the center position.

Further, the bowel movement inducing operation control unit 57 applies the opening degree of the flow rate control valve 39 and the air pump 49 to the air pump 49 in synchronization with the cycle in which the nozzle drive control unit 71 switches the circular movement and the stationary operation of the cleaning nozzle 45. The voltage to be applied is varied in two stages.

The details of the series of operations are shown in FIG. 13. When the cleaning nozzle 45 is making a circular movement, the opening of the flow control valve 39 is reduced and the air pump 49 is opened.
Is increased, and when stationary, the opening of the flow control valve 39 is increased and the air pump 4
The voltage applied to 9 is set low. Here, when the cleaning nozzle 45 is making a circular motion, the opening of the flow rate control valve 39 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the cleaning water becomes the same as that of the normal cleaning, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is It is set so that the amount of air to be sent is about 80% of the value during normal cleaning.
When stationary, the flow control valve 39 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the cleaning water is about 1.5 times that of the normal cleaning, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is determined by the amount of air supplied. Is set to be about 20% of the value during normal cleaning.

By the series of these operations, the cleaning nozzle 4
When the circular motion 5 is performed, as described in the third embodiment, the relaxation-promoting jet which softly stimulates the outer periphery of the user's anus and promotes the anus's relaxation, as described in the third embodiment. Serve the role of. This is because the entrance of the anal canal is very sensitive, and if you stimulate it directly, the anus may get nervous depending on the user. By hitting
It promotes anal relaxation more effectively and improves the user's bodily sensation.

When the cleaning nozzle 45 is stationary, a direct jet containing air is jetted toward the entrance of the anal canal as described in the third embodiment. As described earlier, this jet contains a small amount of air to increase the flow rate of the washing water, and is excellent in bodily sensation and can effectively leak the washing water into the user's anus. Plays the role of a penetrating jet.

In the fourth embodiment, the cleaning nozzle 4
The repetition period of the circular motion and the stationary motion of 5 is defined as the circular motion 4
The cycle was 8 seconds with a direct jet flow of 4 seconds. As a result, a concentrated jet jet containing a small amount of air suddenly hits the anus where the relaxation was promoted by softly stimulating the perimeter of the anus with the aerated jet. It is easy to leak and the user's convenience is effectively induced.

By operating the nozzle position switch 72, the user can arbitrarily change the position at which the washing jet hits, so that the user can select an accurate washing position without moving his / her body. Can induce bowel movements.

In this case, the user operates the nozzle position switch 72 to change the cleaning position. However, the user's anal position is detected by performing an infrared signal or image processing, and the signal is detected. A configuration is also conceivable in which the position of the washing nozzle 45 is changed based on the above, and the washing water is accurately hit into the anus. In the case of this configuration, it is needless to say that the usability is greatly improved for those whose lower body nerves are paralyzed due to, for example, spinal cord injury.

(Embodiment 5) A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The configuration of the fifth embodiment is almost the same as that of the fourth embodiment, and differs from the fourth embodiment in the configuration of the operation input means and the point of providing the anal infiltration jet switching means. . The components having the same reference numerals as those of the fourth embodiment have the same structure, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 14 shows details of the remote controller 51. 14, in the fifth embodiment, the remote controller 51 is provided with a joystick 77 as an operation input unit along with the adjustment unit 55 for inputting the setting of the cleaning flow rate and the temperature. The joystick 77 is tilted in all directions to a predetermined angle, and can input signals in eight directions depending on the tilting direction. The joystick 77 is used for the nozzle position switch 7 described in the fourth embodiment.
The signals input in eight directions are used to drive the cleaning nozzle 45 back and forth and left and right. In addition, a shot switch 78 as an anal infiltration jet switching means is provided near the joystick 77. The shot switch 78 is a push button type switch,
While the button is pressed, the anal infiltration jet switching signal is transmitted from the remote controller 51 to the controller 58.

Next, the operation of the fifth embodiment in this configuration will be described. First, the operation at the time of the normal cleaning is almost the same as that of the fourth embodiment. However, when the user wants to adjust the cleaning position after the start of the cleaning, the joystick 77 can be operated to change the nozzle position. That is, for example, when the user desires to move the cleaning position a little further forward, the joystick 77 is tilted forward so that the remote controller 5 can be moved.
1 transmits a wireless signal, and upon receiving the signal, the nozzle drive control unit 71 controls the front-rear drive motor 47 and operates so as to move the cleaning nozzle 45 forward. To adjust the washing position diagonally to the left, the nozzle drive control unit 71 drives the front / rear drive motor 47 and the left / right drive motor 68 by tilting the joystick 77 diagonally to the left. Moved to Although other operations are performed in the same manner, the operation speed of the cleaning nozzle 45 is changed depending on the angle at which the joystick 77 is inclined in consideration of usability. That is, when the joystick 77 is largely tilted, the cleaning nozzle 45 moves quickly, and when the joystick 77 is tilted small, the cleaning nozzle moves slowly.

As a result, the washing position can be freely changed back and forth and left and right within a predetermined range with excellent operability, and comfortable washing can be performed. The position of the cleaning nozzle 45 that can be changed by the front-rear drive motor 47 and the left-right drive motor 68 is provided with a soft regulation, and even if the joystick 77 is operated excessively, the cleaning water is discharged at a position beyond a predetermined range. The setting is made so that it is not spouted. This is a measure to prevent washing water from scattering. Further, when it is detected by the seat switch 70 that the user has left the toilet seat, the nozzle drive control unit 71 returns the cleaning nozzle 45 to the initial position, and returns to the predetermined position when the next user uses the cleaning nozzle 45. The setting is made so that the washing water is spouted. This corresponds to the fact that the washing position differs depending on the user, and first, the washing is started from the average washing position.

Next, a description will be given of the toilet-induced cleaning with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 shows the operation of the water stop solenoid valve 15, the flow control valve 16, the air pump 49, and the front / rear drive motor 47 when the user presses the bowel movement trigger switch 56 of the remote controller 51 to start the bowel movement-induced washing, and shots during the movement. Switch 7
8 is a time chart showing the operation of each element when 8 is pressed (shown by shots in the figure). Here, the operation of each component from the start of cleaning until the cleaning nozzle 45 protrudes is almost the same as that in the normal cleaning of the fourth embodiment. Therefore, FIG. 15 mainly shows the operation after the cleaning nozzle 45 protrudes.

In FIG. 15, when the start of washing is instructed, the controller 58 opens the water stop solenoid valve 37 and the flow control valve 3
9 is opened to a predetermined opening. When the temperature of the washing water reaches a predetermined value, the front / rear drive motor 47 is driven, and the washing nozzle 4 is driven.
5 to a predetermined position and an air pump 49.
At a predetermined voltage. Here, the opening of the flow control valve 39 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the washing water becomes the same as that of the normal washing, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is such that the amount of air to be supplied is about 80% of the value at the time of the normal washing. It is set to be. Therefore, the water flow relatively softer than during normal washing softly stimulates the user's anus and promotes relaxation of the anus. Here, the operation when the user adjusts the cleaning position is the same as in the normal cleaning.

Next, when the user recognizes that the anus has relaxed and presses a shot switch 78 provided in the vicinity of the joystick 77, the remote controller 5 is pressed while the switch is pressed.
From 1, an anal penetration jet switching signal is transmitted to the controller 58. Upon receiving this anal infiltration jet switching signal, the incentive inducing operation control unit 57 sets the opening of the flow control valve 39 and the air pump 4
The voltage applied to 9 is varied. Here, the opening of the flow control valve 39 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the washing water is about 1.5 times that of the normal washing, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is such that the amount of air to be sent is about 20% of the normal washing time. Is set to be the value of Therefore, this jet, as explained earlier,
By including a small amount of air, the flow rate of the wash water has been improved,
It is excellent in bodily sensation and can effectively cause the washing water to leak into the user's anus.

As a result, the user himself recognizes that the relaxation of the anus has been stimulated by the aerated jet, and the user can switch to the concentrated jet arbitrarily. Leakage easily occurs, the user's convenience is effectively induced, and cleaning as desired by the user becomes possible.

Further, by operating the joystick 77, the user can arbitrarily change the position at which the cleaning jet hits, so that the user can select an accurate cleaning position without moving his / her body. Can trigger.

Here, a weak air-mixed jet is used as the jet for relaxing the anus. However, the same effect can be obtained by driving the washing nozzle 45 to wash the area around the anus as in the fourth embodiment. Needless to say. Although the shot switch 78 is used in conjunction with the bowel movement trigger switch 56, this switch is also effective during normal washing, and is used even in conjunction with the posterior washing switch 52 and the bidet washing switch 53. Washing that meets the taste of the user can be realized. Furthermore, the shot switch 78 is separately provided in the vicinity of the joystick 77, but a similar operation may be performed by pressing the joystick 77.

(Embodiment 6) A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Although the configuration of the sixth embodiment is almost the same as that of the fourth embodiment, a biological signal detecting unit is newly added. The components having the same reference numerals as those of the fourth embodiment have the same structure, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 16 is a structural diagram showing a human body local cleaning apparatus according to the sixth embodiment. In FIG. 16, a sixth embodiment has a fingertip pulse wave measuring device 79 as a biological signal detecting means provided outside a human body local cleaning device, and a signal processing unit which is also a biological signal detecting means in a controller 58. 80 are provided. This finger plethysmograph 79 is usually called a finapres,
When the user inserts his / her finger, blood pressure and pulse can be continuously measured. This signal processing is performed by the controller 58.
Is performed by the signal processing unit 80 provided in. Here, the fingertip pulse wave measuring device 79 is wired outside the human body local cleaning device, but various applications such as transmitting the signal wirelessly by providing it on the remote controller 51 are conceivable.

Here, the relationship between the user's biological signal and the inducing of the defecation will be described. Although blood pressure and pulse were taken as biological signals here, some rehabilitation societies reported that general defecation and bowel movements were sympathetic dominant and both blood pressure and pulse increased. ing. However, it has been reported that, when stimulating the anus, the user begins to feel constipation, first, from the state of dominance of the sympathetic nerve due to the anal reflex, to the state of dominance of the parasympathetic nerve, and finally, begins to feel consent. That is, by stimulating the anus, the blood pressure and the pulse, which had tended to rise, temporarily changed to a downward trend, and then rose again, after which bowel movements and bowel movements were induced. In addition, the parasympathetic dominant state promotes anal relaxation more easily.To stimulate the anus and create a parasympathetic dominant state, it is imperative that the stimulation is not too intense, and it is necessary to relieve mentally. It is also said to be important. From these facts, in order to effectively induce the user's convenience, the anus is softly washed to create a parasympathetic dominant state, and the state is detected and the washing water leaks into the anal canal. It can be said that it is effective to let them enter.

Next, the operation of the sixth embodiment in this configuration will be described. First, the operation at the time of the normal cleaning is substantially the same as that of the fifth embodiment, and thus the description is omitted.

Next, a description will be given of the toilet cleaning. When the inconvenience inducing switch 56 is pressed and an instruction to start washing is given, the controller 58 opens the water stop solenoid valve 37 and the flow control valve 39.
Is opened to a predetermined opening. When the temperature of the washing water reaches a predetermined value, the front / rear drive motor 47 is driven, and the washing nozzle 45 is driven.
Is discharged to a predetermined position, and the air pump 49 is started at a predetermined voltage. Here, the opening of the flow control valve 39 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the washing water becomes the same as that of the normal washing, and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 is such that the amount of air to be supplied is about 80% of the value at the time of the normal washing. It is set to be. Therefore, the water flow relatively softer than during normal washing softly stimulates the user's anus and promotes relaxation of the anus. Here, the operation when the user adjusts the cleaning position is the same as in the normal cleaning.

When the washing is started, the signal processing unit 80 provided in the controller 58 fetches the pulse and blood pressure signals of the user from the fingertip pulse wave measuring device 79. Then, the change in the value is sequentially observed, and when a state in which the value decreases appears, a signal is sent to the convenience inducing operation control unit 57 after a predetermined time has elapsed. Upon receiving the signal, the bowel movement inducing operation control unit 57 varies the opening of the flow rate control valve 39 and the voltage applied to the air pump 49 to eject a concentrated jet containing a small amount of air.
The setting of the concentrated jet is the same as in the third embodiment.

As a result, the anus is stimulated by the aerated jet, and the user becomes dominant in the parasympathetic nervous system. At the same time, it is detected that the relaxation of the anus has been promoted. Therefore, the washing water easily leaks into the anus, and the user's convenience is effectively induced.

[0086]

(5) The water supply control means is controlled so that the aerated jet and the direct air-less jet are periodically repeated as the conditions for inducing the intention, and the water flow rates at the time of the aerated jet and at the time of the direct jet without air are different. By periodically repeating an aerated jet and a direct airless jet with different water flow rates, the relaxation of the anus is promoted, the infiltration of the washing water into the anus is ensured, and the user's effective incentive is induced. be able to.

(6) As a condition for inducing consent, the flow rate of the washing water is periodically increased and decreased, and the air mixing means is controlled so that the mixing ratio of the air mixed into the washing water is different. A mixed jet and a direct jet containing a small amount of air that easily penetrates into the anus are obtained, which promotes relaxation of the anus. It is possible to effectively induce the user's convenience.

(7) Since the driving means for changing the washing position with the washing water is provided, the washing position can be optimized without changing the posture of the user, so that a slight displacement of the washing position can be prevented. Elimination can be more effectively induced.

(8) The anal relaxation jet for cleaning the perianal area of the user and the anal infiltration jet for cleaning the center of the anus are periodically switched for cleaning, so that the anal relaxation can be performed without directly stimulating the anus. It is possible to further promote, and by combining this with the anal infiltration jet, the user's feelings can be more effectively induced.
