DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable local cleaning device for cleaning a local part of a human body such as an anus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A portable local cleaning device includes a cleaning water tank and a cleaning nozzle for discharging cleaning water sent from the cleaning water tank, and a cleaning water tank is filled with the cleaning water and carried. is there. Tap water containing a chlorine component is used as the washing water.

[0003]

However, the washing water in the washing water tank is reduced in chlorine content as time passes, so that the washing water has no sterilizing power. For this reason, when a portable local cleaning device is used for a long time after tap water has been supplied, it may rather be unsanitary. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems and has been improved and eliminated, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a portable local cleaning device capable of using cleaning water as sterilizing ozone water.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention employs a cleaning water tank and a cleaning nozzle for discharging cleaning water sent from the cleaning water tank. In the portable local cleaning device provided, an ozone water generator for converting the cleaning water into ozone water is provided. According to the present invention, by using ozone water as the cleaning water in the ozone water generation device, it is possible to wash with sanitary ozone water having sterilizing power.

[0005] In order to supply ozone into the cleaning tank to generate ozone water each time the cleaning is used, the present invention employs a means for pumping air into the cleaning water tank and the cleaning water tank. In a portable local cleaning device including an air pump and a cleaning nozzle that discharges cleaning water sent from a cleaning water tank by pressure-feeding of the air, an ozone generator is provided in an air passage through which the air to be pumped flows, That is, ozone is mixed into the air flowing through the air passage. In the present invention, when the pump and the ozone generator are started each time washing is used, ozone is fed into the washing water tank, and the ozone is dissolved in the stored washing water to become ozone water. It can be washed with powerful and sanitary ozone water. The air pump is electrically operated, and the air pump and the ozone generator are turned on / off in conjunction with each other.
In some cases, FF is performed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable local cleaning device 1 cleans a cleaning water tank 2, a cleaning nozzle 3 for discharging the cleaning water W sent from the cleaning water tank 2, and a cleaning nozzle from the cleaning water tank 2 to the cleaning nozzle 3. An air pump 4 for pumping air into the washing water tank 2 to send the water W, and an ozone water generator 5 for converting the washing water W to ozone water are provided.

The air pump 4 and the ozone water generator 5
Are housed in the grip portion 6. A replaceable dry battery 7 and a switch 8 are accommodated in the grip portion 6, and wiring 9 is provided so that the electric air pump 4 and the ozone water generating device 5 are turned on / off in conjunction with the switch 8.
The washing water tank 2 is pivotally supported 10 by a grip portion 6,
It can be opened and closed from a closed state (the state shown in FIG. 1) covered by the grip portion 6 to an open state (a state shown in FIG. 3) in which tap water can be injected. An opening / closing engaging portion 11 is provided between the washing water tank 2 and the grip portion 6. The washing nozzle 3 is slidably fitted in a guide groove 2a formed below the washing water tank 2 and pushes a projection 3b with a fingertip to stop the water stored in the guide groove 2a (see FIG. 1). When the water is drawn forward from the state shown by the dashed line), the cleaning position becomes a cleaning position where the cleaning water W can be discharged from the water discharge hole 3a communicating with the inside of the cleaning water tank 2.

[0008] As shown in FIG. 2, the ozone water generator 5 includes an ozone generator 12, an ozone mixer 13 and a dehumidifier 17. The ozone generator 12 includes a high-voltage generator 14 controlled by an inverter or the like, and an electrode 15 for discharging. By passing air through the discharging electrode 15, a chemical action by discharge is obtained, and the ozone is converted into ozone. To generate gas. Further, the ozone mixing device 13 forms an air passage 16 through which the air pumped by the air pump 4 flows, and the washing water tank 2 is mixed with the ozone generated by the ozone generator 12 into the air being pumped. Ozone is dissolved in the cleaning water W in the cleaning tank 2 by blowing into the inside (see FIG. 1) to generate ozone water. Further, the dehumidifying device 17 is made of a replaceable hygroscopic agent (for example, silica gel) or the like, and is provided upstream of the electrode 15 in the air passage 16 so as to extend the life of the electrode 15.

The air pump 4 is not limited to the electric type, but may be of the bellows type or the like, which is a manual type in which the pump body is manually pumped up, so that the overall size and the size of the battery can be reduced. . When the air pump 4 is of a manual type, the start and stop of the ozone generator 12 can be performed manually or automatically by setting a timer. Further, the ozone water generation device 12 includes a detector that detects the ozone concentration of the air in the ozone mixing device 13 or the cleaning water W in the cleaning water tank 2, and only when the detector falls below the set value, The ozone generator 12 may be started automatically.

The location where the ozone water generating apparatus 5 is provided may be a downstream side of the air pump 4 in addition to the upstream side of the illustrated air pump 4 (not shown). When the ozone water generator 5 is provided downstream of the air pump 4,
Corrosion of the resin member constituting the air pump 4 with ozone can be prevented.

The ozone contained in the ozone water thus generated is an active oxygen species having a strong 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 provides an antibacterial effect that oxidizes bacterial cell walls, cell membranes, chromosomes, DNA, RNA and the like to suppress the growth of bacteria, but also has a bactericidal effect that kills them. In addition, since ozone is self-decomposed, there is an advantage that there is little persistence and no problems such as secondary pollution occur. In the portable local cleaning device 1 configured as described above, the ozone water is jetted from the cleaning nozzle 3 to the local part of the human body when the air pump 4 is activated, thereby disinfecting the local part of the human body and treating the flaw. Or have the effect.

Incidentally, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the ozone water generation device 22 includes a gas chamber 2 adjacent to the cleaning water tank 2 via a diaphragm 24.
5 is provided, and the electrode 15 of the ozone generator 12 is arranged in the gas chamber 25. The diaphragm 24 shuts off the washing water W in the washing water tank 2, but is selected to allow the air in the washing water tank 2 to pass therethrough, and the air containing ozone generated in the gas chamber 23 a and the washing water tank 2 It replaces the air inside. The ozone that has entered the washing water tank 2 due to the replacement is
It is dissolved in the cleaning water W to generate ozone water.

The start and stop of the ozone generator 12 can be performed manually or automatically by setting a timer. Further, the ozone water generating device 22 includes a gas chamber 23
a or a detector for detecting the ozone concentration of the washing water W in the washing water tank 2, and the ozone generator 12 may be automatically started only when the detector falls below a set value. is there.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since ozone water having sterilizing power can be discharged as cleaning water, a portable local cleaning device that ensures sanitary cleaning can be obtained.
