TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to a bidet. Specifically, It is related with the nozzle apparatus of a bidet.

A bidet is generally installed on the top of the toilet body, and is used as a device for spraying washing water through a nozzle device to clean the area around the genitals and anus after stool. The washing water supplied from the water source is filtered and stored in a bucket inside the bidet body. When the anal cleansing nozzle button or the local cleansing nozzle button is selected after the user's toilet, the washing water stored in the water bottle is ejected in the form of a stream of water through the anal cleansing nozzle or the local cleansing nozzle selected by the hydraulic pressure. The ejected wash water cleans the anus or the local of the user.

The nozzle device is provided with a nozzle door for covering the cleaning nozzle. The nozzle door covers the cleaning nozzle so that the cleaning nozzle is not exposed to the outside when the cleaning nozzle is not operated, that is, when the cleaning nozzle is in the nozzle apparatus body. Then, when the cleaning nozzle operates, the cleaning nozzle protrudes out of the nozzle device body while pushing the nozzle door.

In the conventional nozzle apparatus, when the cleaning nozzle protrudes while pushing the nozzle door for operation, the contact portion of the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door is moved along the nozzle door. That is, when the nozzle door is rotatably installed on the nozzle device body above the cleaning nozzle, the contact portion between the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door moves downward from the top of the nozzle door. The movement of the contact portion of the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door has a disadvantage of causing noise during operation of the cleaning nozzle.

Further, in the conventional nozzle apparatus, when the cleaning nozzle protrudes while pushing the nozzle door for operation, the nozzle door can be detached from the nozzle apparatus body by the pressing force of such cleaning nozzle. When such detachment occurs, normal operation of the cleaning nozzle may not be performed by the detached nozzle door, and the user's product reliability may be reduced.

An object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle apparatus of a bidet including a structure capable of reducing noise generated between the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door when the cleaning nozzle protrudes.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle apparatus of a bidet including a structure that can prevent the phenomenon that the nozzle door is removed by the pressing force of the cleaning nozzle when the cleaning nozzle is protruded.

The nozzle apparatus of the bidet according to the present invention comprises a nozzle apparatus body; A cleaning nozzle which is slid from the nozzle device body and sprays the washing water onto the cleaning object; A nozzle door disposed on a sliding path of the cleaning nozzle so as to be rotatable about a predetermined rotation axis; And a nozzle protrusion positioned at at least one of the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door to form a contact portion between the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door when the cleaning nozzle is slid.

According to the nozzle apparatus of the bidet according to the present invention, when the cleaning projection is slid forward for operation, the nozzle projection comes into contact with the nozzle head of the cleaning projection. Then, the nozzle protrusion and the nozzle head form a contact portion between the nozzle door and the cleaning nozzle. While the cleaning nozzle is brought into contact with the nozzle door in the process of moving forward, the contact portion formed as described above becomes the nozzle protrusion and the nozzle head continuously. Therefore, during the movement of the cleaning nozzle, the contact portion with the cleaning nozzle formed on the nozzle door does not change to another part of the nozzle door, and is kept constant with the nozzle projection. Therefore, during the movement of the cleaning nozzle, noise generation due to the continuous change of the contact portion between the cleaning nozzle and the nozzle door can be reduced.

Further, according to the nozzle apparatus of the bidet according to the present invention, the nozzle projection is disposed so as to be spaced apart from the rotational axis by a predetermined distance. Then, during the movement of the cleaning nozzle forward, the impact applied to the door rotating part and the rotating shaft upon contact of the cleaning nozzle with the nozzle door can be reduced. Therefore, in the process of projecting the cleaning nozzle, removal of the nozzle door due to the pressing force of the cleaning nozzle can be prevented.

Moreover, according to the nozzle apparatus of the bidet which concerns on this invention, a weight balance is formed in the upper part of a nozzle door, ie, the door rotation part.
