Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field J] The present invention relates to a private parts cleaning device for cleaning private parts of the human body.

[Background Art] Conventionally, this type of private area cleaning device has a cleaning nozzle swingably arranged inside the toilet bowl, a closed hot water tank that supplies hot water to the cleaning nozzle from the top, and a hot water tank located at the bottom of the hot water tank. Pressurized water supply means for pressurized water supply for washing water, water pressure level setting means for setting the water pressure level of hot water jetted from the washing nozzle, toilet seat switch for detecting the user, operation switch means, and water pressure level setting means output. and a cleaning control means that controls the operation of the cleaning means and drying means based on the following. By the way, in such conventional examples, it is difficult to install the private parts cleaning device after purchasing it, or when it is reused after draining water to prevent freezing in cold regions. There were problems in that the initial time required to supply water to the hot water tank was long and the water supply operation was troublesome.

In other words, since the water pressure level at the time of initial water supply is set to the water pressure level at the time of use (a much lower level than the maximum level), it takes a long time to fill the hot water tank. was there. Therefore, in order to shorten the time required for the initial water supply, it is conceivable to perform the initial water supply by readjusting the setting of the water pressure level setting means to the maximum level, but there is a problem that the operation of resetting the setting becomes cumbersome. In addition, since the flushing operation (pressurized water supply operation of the pressurized water supply means) could only be performed when the toilet seat switch was activated, the first time a load was applied to the toilet seat and it was set to use. There was a problem in that water supply operations were troublesome.

The operation of the embodiment will be described below. First, to explain the normal usage state, when the user sits on the toilet seat 30, the toilet seat switch 6 is turned on, the private parts cleaning device is set to an operable state, and the deodorizing means is driven. In this state, use the cleaning operation switch 7m or 7b.
When is pressed, the cleaning controller Piio starts the submersible pump 4a.
and the solenoid valve 21 for a predetermined period of time (for example, 1 second) to supply hot water to the cleaning nozzle 2 and jetting out the cold water remaining in the pipe of the cleaning nozzle 2 to remove it.
The driving of the submersible pump 4a and the solenoid valve 21 is temporarily stopped, and the rotation means 15 swings the cleaning nozzle 2 to a predetermined position.
The motor is driven, and the cleaning nozzle 2 is moved to a predetermined position and then stopped. With the cleaning nozzle 2 set in the predetermined position in this way, the submersible pump 4a and the solenoid valve 21 are driven again, hot water is force-fed to the cleaning nozzle 2, and the water pressure is leveled from the nozzle hole formed at the tip. Then, when the drying operation switch 7b, which also serves as a washing stop switch, is pressed when washing is completed, the submersible pump 4a The drive of the upstream solenoid valve 21 is stopped,
When the spouting of hot water is finished, the motor of the rotation means 15 is reversed to return the cleaning nozzle 2 to its original storage position, and at the same time, the heater 13 and the air blower 14 of the drying means are driven to perform cleaning. Local drying is performed. When the private parts washed in this way are dried and the user stands up, the toilet seat switch 6 is turned off and the completion of use is detected.
The drying means is automatically stopped after a predetermined period of time, power supply to other means is stopped, and the private parts cleaning device is placed in a standby state until the toilet seat switch 6 is turned on next time. At this time, it goes without saying that the operation indicator lamp 27 is turned off and the deodorizing means is stopped. On the other hand, when cleaning is completed and the cleaning nozzle 2 returns to the storage position, the submersible pump 4a and the solenoid valve 21 are driven again to supply hot water to the cleaning nozzle 2 for a predetermined time, and the cleaning nozzle 2 is cleaned. Processing is now underway. Note that an operation switch for stopping the cleaning operation and the drying operation may be provided separately.

Next, to explain the initial water supply operation, the hot water tank 3 is empty and the float switch 11 is turned off when it is installed after purchase or when it is reused after draining water. . In this state, when the cleaning operation switch 7a or 7c is pressed, the initial water supply control means 12
The submersible pump 4a is driven at maximum output (supplying maximum power), the water pressure level is set to the maximum, and the hot water tank 3
The water supply speed is maximized and the time required for water supply is shortened.

Further, when the hot water tank 3 becomes full of water, the float switch 11 is turned on and the full water notification means emits a confirmation sound to notify that the water is full. Therefore, unlike the conventional example, the troublesome work of placing a hand on the cleaning nozzle 2 to detect the spout of hot water and confirming the completion of water supply is no longer necessary. Furthermore, water is forcibly supplied to the hot water tank 3 regardless of whether the toilet seat switch 6 is turned on or off, so there is no need to keep applying a load to the toilet seat 30 as in the conventional case, and the water supply operation is not necessary. has become much more convenient.
