The instantaneous discharge water amount can be further reduced (further saving water) according to the wash water discharge time or the wash water discharge amount, and the cleaning water flow rate can be increased, so that the cleaning power can be secured and the wash water flow rate has been increased. Nevertheless, the amount of instantaneous discharge water can be further reduced, so that the energy of the wash water hitting a local portion is not increased unnecessarily, and a comfortable washing feeling can be secured. Furthermore, since the local area in the local area is not continuously washed, the washing water is intermittently applied when viewed from the local area in the local area, and the feeling of cleaning is improved by the intermittent stimulation. That is, it is possible to further save water while achieving both a sufficient washing power and a comfortable washing feeling.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a local cleaning nozzle. First, the path of the washing water will be described. When the washing water is supplied from the washing water supply means 1, the washing water flows into the washing nozzle 3 through the heat exchanger 2 which makes the washing water warm, and is discharged from the discharge hole 31 to be discharged from the local portion. Washing is performed. Here, the discharge hole 31 has a smaller discharge effective total area than in the past. The cleaning water supply means 1 is composed of a flow control valve 12 and a water stop valve 11, and it is necessary to attach a water pump 13 when the tap water pressure for discharging is insufficient or when the tap water pressure is not used. The control unit 6 includes a cleaning water supply control unit 61 for controlling the cleaning water supply unit 1 and a heat exchanger control unit 62 for controlling power supply to the heat exchanger 2, and is provided with a switch unit (not shown) for the user.

In the above configuration, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Washing water is supplied from the washing water supply means 1 by a user's switch operation or the like. The cleaning water discharged
Since the discharge is performed from the discharge holes 31 having a smaller discharge effective total area compared to the conventional case, even when the instantaneous discharge amount is reduced (water saving), the discharge can be performed at a higher cleaning water speed than before, and the cleaning time can be reduced. Not only there is no problem that the cleaning water becomes longer or waste remains in the local area, but also the washing water flow rate can be increased, so the feeling of washing is not weakened, and the instantaneous discharge water amount is reduced despite the increased washing water flow rate. Since it is possible, it is possible to secure a comfortable washing feeling without increasing the energy of the washing water hitting a local portion more than necessary.

Next, a case where a trajectory control unit is provided will be described. Since the purpose of the trajectory control unit is to control the cleaning water to draw a predetermined trajectory, as shown in FIG. 3, the trajectory control unit 41 may be provided at the end of the water passage, and controls the movement of the cleaning nozzle 3. Therefore, the trajectory control unit 41 is

As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration of the trajectory control unit may be such that the discharge motor 31a rotates the discharge hole 31 to control the cleaning water so as to draw a predetermined trajectory. Becomes spiral. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the cleaning nozzle 3 itself may be rotated by a nozzle rotating motor 41b, and as shown in FIG. A predetermined trajectory may be drawn by a combination of the front, rear, left and right movements of the cleaning nozzle 3 by the drive motor 41d. In addition, since the predetermined trajectory that satisfies the present invention may be swung, a fluid element may be used as a trajectory control unit as shown in FIG. Thus, the cleaning water may be oscillated by transmitting the vibration of the vibration motor 41e so that the discharge holes vibrate. Further, a configuration in which these trajectory control units are combined may be employed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a case where the nozzle is moved left and right by a motor, and the cleaning water is swung back and forth by a fluid element.

By making the configuration of the trajectory control section as described above, the energy of the cleaning water can be effectively dispersed within the cleaning area, even though the total effective discharge area of the discharge holes is smaller than the conventional one. Therefore, the area that the user wants to clean can be sufficiently cleaned, so that the user does not need to frequently move his / her large body, and there is no problem of painful cleaning feeling. Furthermore, since the local area in the local area is not continuously washed, the washing water is intermittently applied when viewed from the local area in the local area, and the feeling of cleaning is further improved by the intermittent stimulation. The effect is particularly great when the number of discharge holes is small or one, but the effects of the present invention can be satisfied without being limited to the number of discharge holes.

Further, the frequency of the intermittent stimulation can be changed by changing the rotation speed and the oscillating frequency of the washing water. Therefore, by controlling the rotation speed and the oscillating frequency of the washing water, the local area As a result, it is possible to control a stimulating feeling that the washing water is intermittently applied. For example, when the user does not like the intermittent stimulation and likes the continuous feeling of washing, the rotation motor 41a is controlled to be driven at a high speed,
In order to rotate the cleaning nozzle 3 at a high speed, a nozzle rotation motor 41b and a nozzle front-rear drive motor 41c
And the nozzle left / right drive motor 41d is controlled to drive at high speed, and the oscillating motor * is controlled to drive at high speed in order to cause the cleaning nozzle 3 to oscillate at high speed. The discharge of water can be controlled so as to draw a predetermined trajectory at a high speed, and the user can obtain a continuous washing feeling. In particular, if a predetermined locus is drawn at a high speed at a frequency of the intermittent stimulus that is equal to or higher than the threshold value at which the local part senses the intermittent stimulus, the effect of the continuous stimulus feeling is remarkable. Conversely, when strong intermittent stimulation is desired, the rotation motor 41a, the nozzle rotation motor 41b, the nozzle front-rear drive motor 41c, and the nozzle left-right drive motor 41d
Also, by controlling the rocking motor * to be driven at a low speed, the user can obtain a strong intermittent stimulation. Further, by controlling the rotation speed and the oscillating frequency of the washing water so as to change with time, it is possible to sufficiently cope with the user's various washing feeling preferences.

Next, a case where the discharge holes are formed as an aggregate of a plurality of discharge holes will be described. An aggregate of a plurality of discharge holes
The configuration is as shown in FIG. 7, and the discharge of the cleaning water is in a shower shape. With the configuration shown in FIG. 7, the discharge holes can be dispersed so as to secure a cleaning area, even though the discharge effective total area of the discharge holes is smaller than the conventional area, and the energy of the cleaning water can be reduced within the cleaning area. Since it is possible to disperse the medicine, it is possible to sufficiently clean the area that the user wants to wash, and it is not necessary to frequently move the body, and no trouble such as pain is caused in the washing feeling. Also, the smaller the discharge hole, the greater the effect of dispersing the wash water in the wash area, but
Since small foreign matter contained in the washing water tends to be clogged, it is necessary to provide a finer strainer in the water passage as the discharge hole becomes smaller. Furthermore, it is only necessary to disperse the ejection holes in order to secure a cleaning area, and an electric drive source is not particularly required, and the present invention can be implemented with a simple structure as compared with the case where a trajectory control unit is provided.

Next, a case where an air mixing means for mixing air into the washing water is provided will be described. FIG. 8 is a configuration diagram in the case where an air mixing unit is provided. Air is mixed into the cleaning water by the air mixing unit 42a. The configuration of the air mixing section 42a may be a configuration in which air is self-sucked by the ejector effect, or an air pump 42b may be provided to perform forced mixing. In addition, the aeration part 42a is preferably located between the heat exchanger 2 and the discharge hole * in the water passage, but the closer to the discharge hole *, the less likely the air aeration state is to be affected by the water passage. When the air pump 42b is provided, it is not necessary to increase the capacity of the air pump 42b more than necessary.
Further, the control unit 6 is provided with an air mixing control unit 65, so that the user can perform desired cleaning by operating a switch unit or the like.

By adopting the configuration shown in FIG. 8, even when the flow rate of the washing water is increased, the amount of instantaneous discharge water can be further reduced (to further save water) by air mixing, and the washing water flow rate can be increased, so that the washing power is secured. Even if the flow rate of the washing water is increased, the instantaneous discharge water amount can be further reduced, so that the energy of the washing water hitting a local part is not increased unnecessarily, and a comfortable washing feeling can be secured. That is, it is possible to further save water while achieving both a sufficient washing power and a comfortable washing feeling. Also, if a porous body is used for air mixing, the mixed air becomes fine bubbles, and a softer feeling of washing can be obtained.

Next, a case where an intermittent discharging means for intermittently discharging the cleaning water is provided will be described. FIG. 9A is a configuration diagram in the case where the intermittent discharge means 43 is provided, and the discharge of the washing water is intermittent as shown in FIG. 9A or pulsating as shown in FIG. Shape. As shown in FIG. 11, if the intermittent discharge means 43 is provided with a rotary on-off valve (disc valve), intermittent water discharge can be easily performed by rotation of the intermittent motor 43a. In this case, the intermittent frequency can be controlled by the number of revolutions of the disc valve, so that it can be easily changed from a high intermittent frequency to a low intermittent frequency. Further, as a configuration of the intermittent discharge means, an electromagnetic valve for simply turning on and off the water passage may be provided. The position where the intermittent discharge means 43 is arranged is such that the downstream side of the water passage has better followability of the intermittent discharge,
The position immediately before the discharge hole 31 is best. If the hot water storage unit 5 is provided between the heat exchanger 2 and the intermittent discharge means 43, the heat exchanger 2

With the configuration shown in FIG. 9, even when the flow rate of the cleaning water is increased, the instantaneous discharging water amount is further reduced according to the cleaning water discharging time or the cleaning water discharging amount in one intermittent cycle (further water saving). As the washing water flow rate can be increased, the washing power can be secured, and even though the washing water flow rate has been increased, the instantaneous discharge water amount can be further reduced, so that the energy of the washing water hitting a local area can be increased more than necessary. And a comfortable feeling of washing can be secured. Furthermore, since the local area in the local area is not continuously washed, the washing water is intermittently applied when viewed from the local area in the local area, and the feeling of cleaning is improved by the intermittent stimulation. That is, it is possible to further save water while achieving both a sufficient washing power and a comfortable washing feeling.

Further, since the frequency of the intermittent stimulation can be changed by changing the intermittent frequency of the washing water, the intermittent frequency of the washing water is controlled so that the washing water is intermittently viewed from a local local range. Can be controlled. For example, I do n’t like intermittent stimulation,
If a continuous feeling of washing is desired, the intermittent frequency of the washing water can be increased by controlling the intermittent motor 43a to drive at a high speed or controlling the solenoid valve to turn on and off at a high speed. Can be controlled to
The user can obtain a more continuous washing feeling. In particular, if the cleaning water is discharged at a frequency of the intermittent stimulus equal to or higher than the threshold value at which the local part senses the intermittent stimulus, the effect of the continuous stimulus sensation is remarkable. Conversely, when strong intermittent stimulation is desired, the user can obtain strong intermittent stimulation by controlling the rotation of the intermittent motor 43a and the on / off of the electromagnetic valve to be driven at a low speed. Further, by controlling the intermittent frequency of the washing water to change with time, it is possible to sufficiently cope with the user's various tastes of the washing feeling.
