 The present invention relates to a mechanical bidet, and more particularly, even without a separate heating device for raising the temperature of the sprayed water, it is proposed to adjust the temperature of the cold water discharged from the conventional mechanical bidet to the temperature of the room in which the bidet is installed It relates to a mechanical bidet.

Recently, with the development of a multi-functional toilet that combines health and eco-friendly elements, the toilet is transforming into a living space where you can rest and relax even in a place that solves your physiological needs. As the incidence of colon and anal diseases is increasing, the use of bidet is increasing due to the personal desire to decorate the bathroom more hygienically and comfortably.

This type of bidet can be divided into mechanical and electronic. Mechanical bidet is characterized by a simple structure in which the injector is operated by using the water pressure of the wash water supplied to the bidet body, the appearance and use environment of a general mechanical bidet is shown in FIG. The bidet body 30 is installed on the upper portion of the toilet 25 used in a normal toilet, and the control valve 20 is installed at a predetermined position of the pipe 21 for supplying cold water from a normal water supply. The amount is adjustable, the bidet main body 30 is equipped with a lever 23 for spraying the washing water on one side, and when the lever 23 is switched to the open position after work, the washing water is sprayed through the nozzle unit 24. The nozzle part 24 is set in a position and a direction so that the washing water can be sprayed to the required part precisely in consideration of the position of the toilet seat. Therefore, the valve is directly connected to the tap water flowing into the toilet, the nozzle is protruded by the water pressure of the supplied water and the water is sprayed through the nozzle provided in the furnace line to wash. However, this configuration has the advantage that the bidet device is simple, but has the disadvantage that the temperature of the sprayed water cannot be controlled at all. In order to compensate for this, an electronic bidet with an electric heating device is developed. Recently, the bidet market occupies almost 95% of the market rather than a simple mechanical bidet.

However, in order to use an electronic bidet, there must be a power source such as an outlet for supplying electricity to the toilet, but there is a problem in that an existing toilet except for a new house has to be newly installed with electrical facilities. In particular, it is not possible to use an electronic bidet in outdoor toilets and simple toilets, where it is not easy to install electric facilities.

In addition, if an electronic bidet is used in a toilet where water is inevitably used, there is a high possibility that a very dangerous accident may occur due to the current flowing in the bidet. In addition, there is an electric waste due to the continuous heating of the water and the temperature rise of the bathroom in the summer, even the possibility of a fire caused by overheating. In addition, the electronic bidet is a cause of lowering the spread of bidet in that the price of the product is expensive due to the increase in the various functions using the electricity.

In view of this, a technique has been proposed to maintain the advantages of a mechanical bidet without the use of electricity. Examples of such techniques include utility model registration applications 20-1994-034109 and 20-2004-013150. The above-mentioned prior arts are related to a bidet capable of washing after stool using cold water and hot water, which are usually provided for washing or other purposes, and are usually mounted in tubes for providing cold water and hot water of a wash basin, respectively. Cold water and hot water are introduced by the cold water control valve and hot water control valve which can be ingested by adjusting the temperature, and the water mixed with the cold water and hot water introduced by operating the externally mounted injection lever in a predetermined direction through the nozzle. It is characterized by being sprayed. However, this conventional technique can be used only in a place where hot water is provided, although there is no need for electric heating, and if hot water is not provided, it works the same as a general mechanical bidet.

Therefore, the above-mentioned cold and hot water mixed mechanical bidet can overcome the disadvantages of the electronic bidet, but when used in conjunction with the water supply only cold water is used because the cold wash water is spraying the problem that the mechanical bidet can not be used in seasons such as winter Have

An object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional mechanical bidet described above. That is, the object of the present invention is to provide a bidet for spraying water having a temperature equal to room temperature by supplementing cold water, which is a disadvantage of a practical mechanical bidet.

Another object of the present invention is to free the user from the electrical hazards that may arise from an electronic bidet.

Another aim is to increase the use of simple and inexpensive mechanical bidets to increase the use of bidets in the common people and to keep personal hygiene clean.

In order to achieve the above object, the mechanical bidet of the present invention, the bidet main body consisting of a discharge valve for intermitting the living water supplied from the tap water, and a nozzle unit linked to the discharge valve for spraying the washing water and the discharge of the bidet body Is connected to the pipe between the valve for the nozzle portion and consists of a bidet bucket for storing a certain amount of bidet wash water.

In addition, the bidet bucket, the lower tank into which the incoming water is primarily stored and the upper tank into which the excess water flows after the filling of the lower tank is coupled by a predetermined fastening means to form a closed tank; An inner space of the sealed tank partitioning an upper space and a lower space, and installing a horizontal plate having a through hole and a plate hole at a predetermined position; Drilling a drain and a water inlet on an upper portion of the hermetic tank to install a drain adapter connected to the bidet body and a water supply adapter connected to the water supply pipe, respectively; The water supply port is vertically downwardly formed in the water supply port so that the water supply pipe is installed vertically downward, penetrates the upper space of the upper tank, and is directly connected to the lower space of the lower tank through the through hole of the transverse plate.

The above-mentioned bidet bucket 10 can be produced in one unitary cylinder through injection molding, but considering the ease of production, piping, and assembly convenience, the upper tank 4 and the lower tank 6 After injection molding by dividing into major components such as) and the transverse plate (5), each component is assembled and produced.

Referring to the action of the bidet body and the bidet bucket as shown in the above embodiments along the flow of water as follows.

A water pipe for supplying household water to a home by maintaining a constant pressure is connected to a discharge valve (not shown) interlocked with the washing lever 23 of the bidet body 30 and has a constant pressure while the discharge valve is open. The living water is supplied to the bidet bucket 10 through the water supply adapter 3, and the water supplied to the water supply adapter 3 is connected to the water supply port 4b and penetrates the diaphragm 5 to the lower tank 6 vertically. It flows into the lower tank 6 along the water supply pipe 7 which is installed up to). After the continuously supplied water completely fills the lower tank 6, the overflowed water flows into the upper tank 4 through the diaphragm 5b formed in the diaphragm 5 installed on the upper portion of the lower tank 6. This water flow continues until the top tank 4 is fully filled. As a result, the water is continuously supplied through the water inlet 4b until the upper tank 4 and the lower tank 6 are completely filled, and when the water is completely filled in the bidet bucket, the discharge valve is closed to close the filled water. It is stored at room temperature (room temperature), so that the cold water first introduced into the wash water having a temperature suitable for washing by the user.

Therefore, in the state in which the washing water temperature is adjusted as described above stored in the bidet bucket 10, when the washing lever 23 of the bidet body 30 to the open position to use the bidet, the discharge valve interlocked thereto opens. And the water stored in the upper tank 4 is ejected to the drainage port by the water pressure of the water pipe to continuously supply the water to the bidet bucket 10, and the washing water at room temperature stored in the lower tank 6 into the empty space is a diaphragm. While moving along the inclined surface 5c of (5), it is introduced into the upper tank 4 through the plate hole 5b formed at the highest point of the transverse plate, and new tap water is introduced into the empty space of the lower tank 6.

When the living water supplied from the water supply first enters the lower tank 6 and pushes the washing water in the upper tank 4 to the drain, the low specific gravity fluid such as air first comes out of the drain and then the heavy water wash Is discharged, and the mixing of discharged washing water and incoming living water is delayed. Therefore, the temperature of the washing water stored in the upper tank 4 is ejected to the nozzle unit 24 without a sudden change, and the new water introduced into the lower tank 6 mixes with the water stored in the lower tank 6 to generate a temperature change. do. However, the cold water flowing into the lower tank 6 first lowers the temperature of the washing water present in the lower tank 6 and then moves to the upper tank 4 through the plate hole 5b formed in the diaphragm 5. Because of this, the washing water of the upper tank (4) does not have a sudden temperature change.

Since water is continuously supplied from the tap water until the discharge valve of the bidet body 30 is closed, the amount of washing water that can be used at a time is stored in the upper tank 4 and the lower tank 6 of the bidet. It can be said that it is equal to the amount of washing water. However, considering that the daily water consumption of the bidet user is 500-600 ml, and the capacity of the bidet bucket 10 is 6 L, the upper tank 4 and the lower tank 6 are each 3 L of washing water. Assuming is stored, multiple users can use the bidet continuously. In other words, when the bidet is used once, the lower tank 6 has a water temperature of 2.5L having a cold temperature and 0.5L of water having a cold temperature, so that the wash water temperature of the entire bidet bucket 10 is insignificant. In addition, the water similar to the room temperature of 3L stored in the upper tank can be used for continuous use because 5-6 toilet users can use the bidet. Of course, it is well known that the size of the bidet bucket 10 can be changed depending on the conditions under which the bidet is used.

In addition, the bidet bucket 10 of the present invention has a feature that can be used by connecting continuously like a chain. That is, when the drain port of the first bidet bucket is connected to the water outlet of the second bidet bucket, and the drain of the second bidet bucket is connected to the water outlet of the third bidet bucket, it is connected in serial with a chain-like shape. It is possible to realize the bidet bucket 10 having a washing water capacity of three times.

As described above, specific embodiments have been described in the detailed description of the present invention, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the claims below, but also by those equivalent to the claims.

As described above, the present invention can supply the water to the mechanical bidet at the same temperature as the room temperature without a separate power supply in the home or office, especially the restroom of the outdoor, and thus can be convenient for the user. It can eliminate the electrical risk that can be generated, and has the effect of promoting the spread of inexpensive mechanical bidet to keep personal hygiene clean.
