DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a toilet device with a cleaning function.

Conventional structure and problems Generally, the cleaning nozzle of a toilet device with a cleaning function is fixed to the rear of the toilet so that it is located behind the human body during use, and the cleaning water injection port is directed toward the private parts of the human body. In many cases, the private parts of the human body were cleaned from behind after defecating, but recently, a method has appeared in which the cleaning nozzle can be manually rotated to clean the private parts of the human body from either the front or the back. did.

This method is very effective, especially when used as a bidet for women, because it allows cleaning from the front, but it has many problems in terms of hygiene, construction, and operability. .

A detailed explanation using the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 (Japanese Patent Application No. 144543/1982) is as follows. 1 is a toilet bowl, 2 is a toilet seat, and 3 is a cleaning device. 4 is the cleaning device f? ? A cleaning nozzle 5 is provided at the tip of the hot water pipe extending from the toilet bowl 1 side. 6 is fixed to the toilet bowl 1 via a support plate 7 with a mounting bolt of the toilet seat 2, and the toilet seat 2 is rotatable with respect to the mounting port 6. The cleaning device 3 is attached to an end 7 of a support plate 7 by a mounting plate 8 extending from the cleaning device 3.
It is fixed with three fixtures 9 and is located on the side of the toilet bowl 1. A hot water pipe 4 having a cleaning nozzle 5 at its tip consists of a straight section 4a and a curved section 4b, and the straight section 4a is substantially orthogonal to the centerline 10 of the toilet bowl 1. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cleaning lever provided on the side of the cleaning device 3, which is mechanically interlocked with the hot water supply pipe 4. When the cleaning lever 11 rotates, the hot water supply pipe 4 rotates, and the cleaning nozzle 5 moves to the A position. It rotates between position, B position, and C position.

In the above configuration, when not in use, the cleaning nozzle 5 is stored at position A on the back side of the toilet seat 2. When in use, the cleaning lever 11 is rotated to rotate the cleaning nozzle 5 to position B. Make the patient squirt cleansing water into the anal area. When using it as a female bidet, move it further to the C position and spray water for cleaning the front of the private parts. After use, it is returned to its original position A.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the cleaning member consisting of the hot water supply pipe 4 and the cleaning nozzle 5 is fixed to the cleaning device R3, so when the toilet seat 2 is folded down, it is hidden behind the toilet seat 2. When the toilet seat 2 is propped up during use, etc., it remains on the toilet bowl 11IllI and is completely visible, and the hot water pipe 4. The cleaning nozzle 5 is contaminated and is extremely unsanitary.
