The breathing mechanism 17 is for facilitating breathing when the face is placed in the opening 11a, as shown by a virtual line in FIG. 2 for washing with water sprayed by a person. One end of the breathing mechanism 17 communicates with the outside of the housing portion 11, and the other end is a tubular mechanism installed so as to protrude into the housing portion 11 and be positioned at a predetermined position of the opening 11a. In addition, preferably the other end of the breathing mechanism 17 is preferably connected to the respirator cover member 18 of the shape corresponding to the mouth and nose so that the user can simultaneously breathe into the mouth and nose. Therefore, when the user places the face in the opening 11a, the user can easily breathe while preventing the sprayed water from entering the respirator of the user.

In addition, the main body 10 is preferably provided with a detergent tank 20 for storing a predetermined detergent or massage liquid. The detergent tank 20 is connected to the water supply path 15, between which is provided an adjustment valve 21 for selectively adjusting the amount of detergent or massage liquid stored in the detergent tank 20. Therefore, the detergent or massage liquid stored in the detergent tank 20 flows into the water supplied along the water supply path 15 by a predetermined amount so that the user does not need to separately apply the detergent or massage liquid to the face. .

In addition, the heating means for heating the water supplied to a predetermined temperature, for example, about 40 to 60 ℃ to increase the washing effect is preferably further provided. The heating means includes a heat transfer pipe 31 installed on the water supply path 15 and a heater 33 installed outside the heat transfer pipe 31 and generating resistance by electric power applied from a predetermined power source. can do.

It may be a resistor, such as a resistance coil being wound.

Subsequently, the pump 16 is installed by the detection sensor 41 installed inside the housing 11 to detect whether the user's face is positioned in the opening 11a, and the signal detected by the detection sensor 41. It is preferable to further include a control unit 43 for selectively controlling the driving of the adjustment valve 21, the heating unit 33 and the like, respectively.

The sensor 41 is connected to the switch 13 is installed at a predetermined position of the main body 10 is operated. Such a sensor 41 has the same function as a conventional sensor used for an automatic door of a general building, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the main body 10 may be provided with operation keys 12 for selectively driving each of the pump 16, the control valve 21, and the heating unit 33 by a user's operation.

Looking at the operation of the automatic washbasin according to an embodiment of the present invention having the configuration as described above are as follows.

First, the user operates the sensor 41 by turning on the switch 13 before placing the face in the opening 11a to automatically wash the face. In this state, the user places the face in the opening 11a and matches the mouth and nose to the respirator cover member 18. Then, the detection sensor 41 detects that the face is located in the opening 11a, and transmits the detected signal to the controller 43. The control unit 43 operates the heating unit 33, the pump 16, and the control valve 21 in a predetermined time sequence according to the transmitted signal. For example, an operation sequence of the heating unit 33, the pump 16, and the control valve 21 may be performed according to a control value previously input to the control unit 43. In this case, the water of the water pipe 14 is forcibly pumped to the water spray member 13 by the driving force of the pump 16. At this time, the heating section 33 heats the heat transfer pipe 31 so that the water passing through the heat transfer pipe 31 is heated to a predetermined temperature. In addition, by the selective on / off operation of the adjustment valve 21, the detergent or massage liquid in the detergent tank 20 flows into the water supply path 15 by a predetermined amount and is dissolved in the supplied water. Therefore, the detergent or the massage liquid is dissolved as described above and the heated water is sprayed to the face of the user through the water injection port 13a of the water spray member 13 at high pressure. At this time, the sprayed water is warm water in which detergent or massage liquid is dissolved, and thus, even if the face is washed in a state where makeup is left on the user's face, it is possible to cleanly wash the face when exposed to the sprayed water for a certain time. . And, during the automatic washing, the user breathes while covering the mouth and nose with the respirator cover member 13, so that the automatic washing can be performed while preventing water from penetrating into the respirator. And even if you wash your face for a long time, the breathing will not interfere.

On the other hand, when a predetermined time elapsed that the detergent or the massage liquid is dissolved to some extent and is determined that the makeup or foreign substances on the face has been washed, the control unit 43 closes the adjustment valve 21 to remove the detergent and the massage liquid. Stop supply. Subsequently, clean water is sprayed for a certain time to rinse and massage the face at the same time. Then, when a predetermined time elapsed that the wash is considered to be over, the automatic wash operation is completed by stopping the driving of the pump 16 and the heating part 33. Here, the water remaining after being injected and washed is discharged to the outside of the main body 10 through the discharge port 11b provided at the bottom of the housing portion 11.

Although not shown in detail, operations of the heating unit 33, the control valve 21, and the pump 16 may be automatically controlled by the control unit 43, but the user manipulates the operation keys 12. Naturally, you can control it.

In addition, after the user washes his face, when the sensor 41 detects that the user's face disappears and transmits this information to the controller 42, the controller 42 drives the pump 16 for a predetermined time. The housing part 11 afterwards can also be wash | cleaned. Even in this case, it is natural that the user can operate the operation keys 12 to clean the inside of the housing part 11.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the water spray member 13 has been described as an example installed on the bottom of the housing portion 11, but this is merely illustrative. That is, it is natural that the water spray member 13 may be installed regardless of the shape over the entire inner or inner surface of the housing part 11.

On the other hand, Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the main portion of the automatic washbasin according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the water spray member 53 connected to the water supply path 15 has a pipe-like shape, and a plurality of water spray holes 53a are formed in the longitudinal direction thereof. In addition, a predetermined connection portion 55 is connected to the central shaft portion 53b of the water spray member 53 so as to rotatably couple the central shaft portion 53b with respect to the water supply path 15. The connecting portion 55 includes a packing means, a bearing means, and the like, which are not shown therein, so that the central shaft portion 53b is rotatably connected to the water supply path 15 while preventing water leakage. The connection part 55 is a technique widely used in, for example, an engine of a boat, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, a driving source, that is, a driving motor 57 for forcibly rotating the water spray member 53 is further provided. Each of the shaft 57a and the central shaft portion 53b of the drive motor 57 is provided with gears 58 and 59 engaged with and interlocked with each other. Here, the driving of the driving motor 57 may be controlled by the control unit 43 shown in FIG.

According to the configuration as described above, the water spray member 53 is rotated on the bottom surface of the housing portion 11 shown in Figure 1 to spray the water to the opening (11a). When water is sprayed by employing the water spray member 53, water may be sprayed more evenly on the face.

Here, the same reference numerals as those of the drawings shown in FIG. 2 are the same members having the same functions. In the above configuration, the user inserts the face into the housing portion 11 'according to his / her face size, and then automatically washes the face. In addition, the breathing mechanism 27 installed in the housing portion 11 ′ is deformable by an external force and can move the respirator cover member 28 installed at one end thereof as shown by a virtual line. This supply mechanism 27 is a technique widely employed in faucet connectors, for example, installed in the sink of a general household.

In addition, the respirator cover member 28 is preferably detachably installed on the breathing mechanism 17 to enable disinfection and replacement in hygiene. Although not shown in detail, such a detachable structure may have a general screw connection structure.

In addition, referring to Figure 5 showing an automatic washing machine according to another embodiment of the present invention, there is further provided a cover member 60 which is installed at the opening 11a of the housing portion 11 . In FIG. 5, the same reference numerals as those of the drawings illustrated in FIG. 2 are the same members having the same functions. The cover member 60 has a hole 61 corresponding to a predetermined face size in consideration of a difference in face sizes of users, and is elastically deformable by a rubber material or the like. Therefore, the cover member 60 may be installed to be coupled to and separated from the interference fit in the opening 11a. Then, the cover member 60 can be replaced with another cover member 60 'having a large hole 61', as shown by a virtual line, so that the cover member 60 can be used in a preemptive manner according to the size of the user's face.

According to the automatic washbasin according to the present invention as described above, the user can automatically wash the face simply by positioning the face in the opening of the housing.

In particular, a user returning home from a tired state such as a work woman can conveniently remove makeup and foreign substances, etc. without having to make a separate effort to erase the makeup of the face.

In addition, since the facial massage effect can be obtained by the sprayed water, there is an advantage in skin protection and skin beauty.
