8 is a hot air outlet for drying. Further, 19 is a hot air outlet for heating inside the toilet. 20 is a cleaning switch, 2
1 is a drying switch, and each cleaning device 22. It is also a part of the controller for the hot air generator 230 for the drying reservoir.

24 is a power switch, and 26 is a wash water temperature adjustment switch.

FIG. 5 shows a plan sectional view of the sanitary device main body 14 shown in FIG. 4.

In this, 26 is a pump that supplies cleaning water to the nozzle 17 via a hot water tank 27, and 28 is a pump that supplies cleaning water to the nozzle 17 via a hot water tank 27.
This is a heater that is built into the tank 2 and heats the washing water.

These constitute the cleaning device 22.

Further, reference numeral 29 denotes a wind tunnel to which one end of each of the heating side wind tunnel 30 and the drying side wind tunnel 31 are connected. 34. A heater 36 is provided as a heating means. Further, 36 is a damper that switches between the heating side wind tunnel 30 and the drying side wind tunnel 31.

Although the damper 36 can be moved manually, it is convenient to move it electrically.

In this embodiment, the damper 36 will be described as a solenoid type electric damper.

In addition, 37 is provided at the bottom of the toilet seat 16, and the toilet seat 1
This is a gravity switch that closes when it detects the weight of the human body sitting on the seat.

Furthermore, the power consumption of the heater 36 can be changed depending on whether the wind tunnel 29 communicates with the heating wind tunnel 3o or the drying wind tunnel 31.

Further, on the third day, when the dry air is not dry, the spring serves as a reset means ′ that biases the damper 36 in the direction of closing the dry side wind tunnel 31 .

Further, 39 is a room temperature detection thermostat provided at the rear of the main body 14, and 40 is a freezing prevention thermostat.

Next, the control system in each of the above-mentioned devices will be explained based on FIG. 6.

A drying switch 21, a solenoid coil 22 that generates electromagnetic force for driving the damper 36, and a normally open relay contact S1 connected in series to the parallel circuit of the motor 34 and heater 36. A driving relay coil L1 is connected in series.

If the damper switching means is mechanically attached to the drying switch 21 itself, the solenoid coil 22 is not necessary.

The hot air is discharged from the heating hot air outlet 19, and by energizing the solenoid 22, the wind tunnel 31 is opened against the force of the spring 38 and the gravity.

As a result, hot air heated by the heater 36 is discharged from the drying hot air outlet 18, thereby drying the user's private parts after washing.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, by connecting the gravity switch 37 provided at the bottom of the toilet seat 1e in parallel to the series circuit of the drying switch 21 and the solenoid coil 22, the user can sit on the toilet seat 16. In other words, warm air for heating is automatically discharged from the discharge port 19.
