In a conventional toilet or toilet room washing apparatus, it is common for the inside and the outside of a toilet to be rubbed off by a person using an exclusive detergent solution. In addition, it is common to wash the restroom interior with detergent for residential use. Moreover, in the flush toilet, there is also a method in which a cleaning agent is put in a washing water tank or the like and washed using a cleaning liquid in which the cleaning agent is dissolved. Moreover, about the bacteria removal for a toilet seat, the wet paper for bacteria removal is prepared and the toilet seat may be wiped off.

In addition, the conventional toilet apparatus 101 shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the toilet 102 of a western toilet. And the washing | cleaning apparatus 103 is built in the toilet apparatus 101. As shown in FIG. The cleaning device 103 generates steam. The steam is injected from the steam injecting means 103a to cause dirt to float. In that state, the person can be cleaned simply by wiping with toilet paper. Such a proposal is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-300877.

 However, in the conventional cleaning as described above, it is necessary for a person to have a cleaning brush or the like and to clean while applying force. In addition, in a Western-style flush toilet, if you want to clean up near the outlet of the upper water, you need to put your body into the toilet considerably.

Moreover, even if the above conventional washing | cleaning apparatus is used, in the washing | cleaning by the outflow of the washing | cleaning liquid from a water tank, it cannot be wash | cleaned naturally upper side than the outflow part of water. Therefore, it is of course impossible to pour water over the inside of the toilet, so that a place that cannot be cleaned remains. In addition, when bacteria are removed from the toilet seat of a Western-style toilet, it is necessary to process the wet paper or the like before use, so that there is a problem that it takes time and labor.

Moreover, also in the toilet apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary for the user to clean himself with the steam injection means 103a. Moreover, since steam is generated by a heating device (not shown), a large amount of power consumption is also required, and the initial cost is also high. As mentioned above, the conventional washing | cleaning in the toilet room had various subjects.

 The washing | cleaning apparatus of this invention is equipped with the mist generating apparatus for spraying the mist containing a detergent component in the toilet or the outer periphery installed in the toilet interior.

Moreover, the toilet apparatus of this invention is equipped with the washing | cleaning apparatus. The cleaning device includes a mist generating device for ejecting mist containing a detergent component in or around a toilet provided in a toilet.

By this structure, the inside or outer periphery of a toilet can be wash | cleaned easily. That is, the mist containing the detergent component is filled and filled into the toilet or the outer periphery, so that the mist containing the detergent component is attached to the object to be cleaned, such as the toilet or the outer periphery. And if it is left for a predetermined time, the dirt adhering to the to-be-cleaned object will arise by the chemical force of a detergent, and it will be easy to peel off from the to-be-cleaned object. In that state, a person can easily wipe off the dirt which floated by wiping lightly.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described, referring drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited by this embodiment.

(Embodiment 1)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The principal part sectional drawing of the toilet apparatus provided with the washing | cleaning apparatus in Embodiment 1 of this invention, FIG. 2 is an expanded sectional view of the mist generating apparatus of the washing | cleaning apparatus shown in FIG. 1, FIG. It is an enlarged sectional view of the main part of the toilet apparatus shown in the figure.

1 and 2, the toilet apparatus 4 includes a cleaning apparatus 5. The washing | cleaning apparatus 5 is equipped with the mist generating apparatus 20 for ejecting the mist 7 containing a detergent component in the toilet 2 installed in the toilet interior, or outer periphery.

The mist generating apparatus 20 is comprised so that the mist 7 of the quantity which fills the toilet bowl 2 may be filled. In addition, it is preferable that the mist generating device 20 eject the mist 7 at a predetermined time. In addition, the mist generating device 20 may further be configured to generate a mist containing a bacterium removing component to the surface of the toilet seat 12 placed on the toilet bowl 2.

Moreover, the mist generating apparatus 20 is equipped with the atomizer vibrator 8c and the container 8b which enclosed the liquid in the vibrating surface side of the atomizer vibrator 8c, and enclosed the liquid 8a. And the detergent liquid on the outside of the container 8b is atomized through the container 8b.

The toilet apparatus 4 and the washing | cleaning apparatus 5 of this invention are demonstrated in more detail.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the toilet apparatus 4 is arrange | positioned with respect to the western-style toilet 2 installed in the toilet interior. The toilet apparatus 4 includes a washing unit 4a for washing the body, a drying unit 4b for drying the washing liquid on the body, and a washing apparatus 5 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Equipped. The cleaning apparatus 5 generates the mist 7 including the detergent component in the mist generating part 6 shown in FIG. 2, and includes the mist (including the detergent component) from the mist spray port 5a shown in FIG. 7) is configured to eject into the toilet.

In the specific structure which generate | occur | produces the mist 7 containing a detergent component, as shown in FIG. 2, the atomization apparatus 8 is arrange | positioned at the bottom part of the mist generating part 6. As shown in FIG. The upper part of the atomization apparatus 8 collects the detergent liquid here as the liquid storage part 9. In the ceiling surface of the mist generating part 6, an injection lid 10 for dispensing detergent is disposed. The mist generating apparatus 20 is comprised from the atomization apparatus 8, the mist generating part 6, and the injection | throwing-in lid 10. As shown in FIG.

In order to make a detergent liquid, a user opens the input lid 10 and injects a detergent into the liquid storage part 9 from here. In order to make a detergent liquid and to atomize it, it is necessary to make it the detergent liquid of a suitable level. Therefore, a water supply valve 11 and a water level sensor (not shown) for branching from the tap water and automatically supplying water are arranged to supply an appropriate amount of water to the liquid reservoir 9.

Next, the atomization apparatus 8 is comprised from the container 8b which enclosed the liquid 8a, and the atomizing vibrator 8c arrange | positioned at the bottom part of the container 8b and consisting of an ultrasonic vibrator. In the container 8b, the ceiling surface 8d at a position facing the atomizing vibrator 8c is discharged from the atomizing vibrator 8c via the liquid 8a when the atomizing vibrator 8c is driven. It becomes a vibrating surface which vibrates with the propagated vibration. The ceiling surface 8d is formed of a material that is not affected by the components of the detergent liquid stored in the liquid storage portion 9 and is easily vibrated.

Next, by the mist generating apparatus 20 in the said structure, the operation | movement and operation | movement for generating the mist 7 containing detergent powder in the mist generating part 6 are demonstrated.

First, when a user opens the input lid 10, injects detergent, turns on the power of the washing | cleaning apparatus 5, operation starts, and the water supply valve 11 and the water level sensor produce the detergent liquid of the suitable level. Next, when the atomizing vibrator 8c is driven, the vibration of the atomizing vibrator 8c propagates to the ceiling surface 8d via the liquid 8a, and the ceiling surface 8d vibrates. As a result, the detergent liquid on the ceiling surface 8d is atomized to generate the mist 7 including the detergent component. Here, what is necessary is just to select suitably the detergent for toilets marketed as a detergent.

Moreover, as the mist 7 containing a detergent component, it dilutes with a small constant in order to scatter and float. Therefore, even if the density | concentration of detergent liquid used the thing thicker than an original density | concentration, the detergent amount to be used does not increase extremely and it is not difficult to handle. Moreover, a thing with high density | concentration is effective also about washing | cleaning in many cases. Herein, the detergent solution is a liquid detergent, and if the atomization is possible, the detergent solution may be used.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the upper side of the atomizing vibrator 8c of the atomizing device 8 only touches the liquid 8a enclosed in the container 8b and the surface of the atomizing vibrator 8c. Do not directly contact this detergent solution. Therefore, even if the atomizing device 8 is disposed so that the ceiling surface 8d composed of a material having no problem with various chemical components faces the detergent liquid, the atomizer vibrator 8c may fail or the atomizer vibrator 8c. Can be stably atomized over a long period of time without affecting the operation of the &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt;

In addition, even in the case of using extremely high hardness water such as well water, inorganic matter does not adhere to the surface of the atomizer vibrator 8c or affect the operation thereof. Atomization can be performed stably for a long time.

In the present invention, since the atomizer vibrator 8c is used and no heating means is used, a large amount of power consumption is not consumed.

Next, the peripheral structure of the toilet bowl 2 and the toilet apparatus 4 is demonstrated using FIGS.

The toilet device 4 is fixed to the toilet bowl 2 and installed. The toilet seat 4 is provided with a toilet seat 12 and a toilet seat lid 13. When the user closes the toilet seat lid 13, the upper surface 12a and the toilet seat 12 of the toilet seat 12 in the toilet bowl 2 by the inner packing 14 and the outer packing 15 on both sides of the toilet seat 12. Are split out). In such a state, the cleaning apparatus 5 forms the mist spray port 5a in the inside of the toilet bowl 2, and communicates the mist spray port 5a with the mist generating part 6. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the toilet apparatus 4 is sprayed with a mist 7 containing a detergent component on the inner side sealed with the inner packing 14 in the toilet bowl 2, and then sprayed with a shower for washing off the dirt. And 16). Moreover, the toilet apparatus 4 is also equipped with the control part 17 for controlling the operation | movement of the atomization apparatus 8 and the water supply injection part 16. As shown in FIG.

The operation and action by these configurations will be described. First, when washing the toilet bowl 2, the user opens the injection lid 10 of the mist generating apparatus 20, and injects a predetermined amount of detergent. After the detergent is put in, the atomizing device 8 is driven to generate a mist 7 including the detergent component. The generation amount of the mist 7 containing the detergent component at this time is the generation amount required to fully fill the toilet bowl 2. The mist 7 including the detergent component is attached to all parts of the toilet bowl 2 to be cleaned. In particular, a detergent can be sufficiently attached to a place that is difficult to clean, which is above a place where water for washing with water flows from the toilet bowl 2. In addition, the mist 7 containing the detergent component penetrates into the portion under the toilet apparatus 4. Therefore, the cleaning nozzle of the washing | cleaning part 4a of the toilet apparatus 4, etc. can also be wash | cleaned.

Here, even the very light mist containing the detergent component is settled gradually, so that the atomizer 8 is intermittently driven so as to always fill the toilet 2 with the mist 7 including the detergent component. And the detergent component acts on the dirt of the toilet bowl 2, and it is left to stand until the dirt floats from the toilet bowl 2. As shown in FIG.

Next, it is necessary to wash off the dirt which floated by spray of shower. Using a water supply injection part 16 arranged in multiple places in the toilet apparatus 4, water is sprayed in the toilet bowl 2, and a dirt is wash | cleaned. In this way, washing | cleaning in the toilet bowl 2 can be performed simply.

Moreover, by mounting the reservation function in the control unit 17, the toilet bowl 2 can be cleaned automatically at a predetermined time. The amount of detergent liquid of the required number of times is collected in the liquid storage part 9, and the atomizing device 8 and the water supply injection part 16 are operated normally at the predetermined time after a user uses the toilet. Thereby, the toilet bowl 2 can always be cleaned and kept in a clean state, without labor.

Here, although the washing | cleaning apparatus 5 as a full automatic was demonstrated about washing | cleaning the toilet 2, what is difficult in washing | cleaning the toilet 2 is that a person rubs and washes the inside of the toilet 2 using a detergent. By the washing | cleaning apparatus 5 of this Embodiment 1, the mist 7 containing a detergent component is produced | generated, and the operation | movement to float the dirt in the toilet bowl 2 is performed, and after that, a brush moistened with water by a person By simply rubbing, the inside of the toilet 2 can be cleaned easily, which is advantageous. Moreover, since the structure becomes complicated in order to wash | clean the whole well, since the water supply injection part 16 for wash | cleaning a dirt is clean, the cleaning apparatus 5 only generate | occur | produces the mist 7 containing a detergent component in this way is cheap and simple. Can handle

As mentioned above, in this Embodiment 1, the mist generating apparatus 20 is arrange | positioned so that the mist 7 containing the detergent component which fully fills the toilet bowl 2 may be ejected. With this configuration, the dirt in the toilet bowl 2 is left to stand after the adhesion of the detergent powder to the mist 7 including the detergent component, and in the state in which the dirt appears due to the chemical action of the detergent, the water supply injection part 16 By washing away the dirt in the toilet bowl 2, washing can be performed simply.

In addition, the particle size of the mist 7 containing a detergent component confirmed that it was preferable by the inventors to experiment that the case where the micrometer which made about several micrometers the center of a distribution about the cleaning effect was preferable, but it is not limited to this. .

(Embodiment 2)

In Embodiment 2 of this invention, the mist generating apparatus 20 is comprised so that the mist 7 of the quantity which fills the whole toilet room in which the toilet bowl 2 is arrange | positioned may be filled. For that purpose, the mist spray port 5a shown in FIG. 1 is provided not on the inside of the toilet bowl 2 but on the outside. (Not shown)

That is, the washing | cleaning apparatus 5 is comprised by the mist generating apparatus 20, and generate | occur | produces the mist 7 containing a detergent component, and ejects the quantity required for filling the mist 7 with the whole restroom interior. have. Here, a detergent is effective against a dirt by using a residential detergent.

The specific structure which produces | generates the mist 7 containing a detergent component is the same as that of Embodiment 1. However, since the space for washing is very large compared with the inside of the toilet 2, the capacity of the mist generating device 20 needs to be larger than that of the first embodiment. In addition, since the mist 7 containing the detergent component is settled as described above, a circulation fan (not shown) may be used in order to completely attach the whole of the restroom interior.

In addition, by spraying the mist 7 including the detergent component along the outer side of the toilet 2, the toilet 2 outside can be cleaned in a much smaller amount than the entire toilet interior.

Since the operation | movement and effect | action of the washing | cleaning by these structures are the same as that of Embodiment 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

As mentioned above, in this Embodiment 2, the mist generating apparatus 20 is arrange | positioned so that the mist 7 of a quantity sufficient to fill the whole restroom interior may be ejected. By this structure, it is left to wash after adhesion of the detergent powder to the mist 7 containing a detergent component with respect to the dirt of the toilet room interior, and it washes easily simply by a person wiping off a dirt in the state which floated by the chemical action of the detergent. Can be done.

(Embodiment 3)

According to the third embodiment of the present invention, the mist spray port 5a shown in Figs. 1 and 3 is not misted on the inside of the toilet bowl 2, but on the surface of the toilet seat 12 on which the toilet bowl 2 is placed. The mist spray port (5a) is arranged to generate. More specifically, the mist spray port 5a is arrange | positioned so that it may flow along the upper surface 12a of the toilet seat (illustration omitted).

When the toilet seat lid 13 is closed, the space surrounded by the toilet seat 12, the toilet seat lid 13, the inner packing 14, and the outer packing 15 is a narrow space, and the mist containing the detergent component in the space 7 ). That is, the mist generating apparatus 20 generate | occur | produces the mist 7 containing the detergent component with respect to the upper surface 12a of the toilet seat, and sprays the mist 7 containing the detergent component along the upper surface 12a of the toilet seat. It is.

Here, the liquid preparation for atomization is effective with respect to bacteria removal by using the liquid agent containing a bacteria removal component. Moreover, when the vaporizing liquid agent is used, the user does not have to remove the trouble of wiping, and it is very easy to use it. In this case, it is natural to store the liquid so as not to vaporize.

The specific structure which produces | generates the mist 7 containing a detergent component or the bacteria removal component is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

Moreover, the control part 17 makes a timing which sprays the mist 7 after a predetermined time passes after a user finishes using the toilet apparatus 4. This can be used comfortably by the next person at all times by driving the toilet apparatus 4 after a predetermined time after the user uses the toilet apparatus 4.

Since the operation | movement and effect | action of the washing | cleaning by these structures are the same as that of Embodiment 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

Although the case where the vaporizing liquid agent is used was demonstrated, since the vaporizing liquid agent is difficult to handle, there is no problem in particular even if it uses the liquid agent which has the germ removal effect | action of the kind which does not vaporize. Since it can be easily cleaned with toilet paper or the like, there is no need to prepare anything else in particular, which is effective.

As described above, in the third embodiment, the top surface 12a of the toilet seat can always be removed by passing a mist having germ removal components along the top surface 12a of the toilet seat where the user sits. You can use this cleanly and comfortably.

As can be seen from the above, in the cleaning apparatus in which the mist generating apparatus for spraying mist containing a detergent component is arrange | positioned in the toilet or the outer periphery installed in the toilet interior, the detergent component is contained by atomizing a small amount of detergent liquid with the atomizer vibrator. Since mist can be generated and sprayed in the toilet or the outer periphery, washing of the to-be-cleaned object with a small amount of water and electric power can be performed by washing in the toilet using the chemical force of the detergent liquid.

In addition, by arranging the mist generating apparatus which generates the amount which mist containing a detergent component fills in a toilet, since it is effective to fully fill the inside of a toilet, even if it wash | cleans over the inside of a toilet, it is effective in a toilet. Washing can be performed.

By placing the mist generating device which generates the quantity that the mist containing the detergent ingredient fills the whole restroom room, it is effective to fully fill the inside to wash the whole restroom room efficiently, The room can be washed.

By arranging the mist generating device so that the mist containing the detergent component is ejected in the toilet or the whole restroom room at a predetermined time, for example, when the mist generating device is driven after a predetermined time after the use of the person, In the absence of water, mists containing detergent ingredients can be used to repel dirt inside the toilet or the restroom. This is because the mist containing the detergent component is very light, so that the floating state can be changed only by the movement of a person, and the mist containing the detergent component in the part with the necessary dirt can be prevented from disappearing. Moreover, by reliably washing every day, the inside of a toilet or the whole restroom can be kept clean at all times.

By arranging the mist generating apparatus which generate | occur | produces the mist containing germ removal component so that it follows the surface of the toilet seat which was put in the toilet installed in the toilet room, the surface of the upper surface of the toilet seat is covered with the mist which has germ removal component, It can simply be detoxified. Also, if the device is driven after a predetermined time after use by a person, the next person can always use it comfortably.

The mist generator is provided with the atomizer vibrator and the container which enclosed the liquid in the vibrating surface side of the atomizer vibrator, and is comprised by atomizing the detergent liquid of the container exterior through the enclosed liquid and the container, and the atomizer vibrator A particular component or inorganic substance of the detergent adheres directly to the surface of the vibrator for atomization even if various detergent liquids are used or well water is used to dilute the detergent powder by preventing direct contact with the detergent liquid. Since this does not affect the operation, the liquid can be atomized stably over a long period of time.

In the toilet apparatus of the present invention, the washing apparatus of the present invention is mounted in the toilet apparatus. Therefore, it is possible to set the cleaning device not as a single product but as a united product.

Here, the explanation about the mist containing the detergent component is supplemented.

When the mist containing the detergent component is filled and filled in the toilet or the outer periphery, and the mist containing the detergent component is attached to the object to be cleaned in the toilet or the outer periphery and left for a predetermined time, the chemical to be cleaned The dirt attached to the surface rises, and it becomes easy to peel off from the object to be cleaned. In that state, it is possible to peel off the dirt which floated by simply wiping lightly.

Here, when the particle diameter containing a detergent component is very small, when it adheres to a dirt, it can penetrate the dirt and let a detergent component penetrate into the inside of a dirt. Therefore, since the detergent component can be effectively operated at the boundary between the dirt and the object to be cleaned, the effect of bringing up the dirt is greater than that of adding a normal detergent solution. In particular, the film | membrane dirt is very effective.

Such mist can be generated by atomizing a small amount of detergent liquid with an atomizer vibrator. Therefore, a large amount of water is not used nor heated, and washing can be performed by a very small amount of electric power. In addition, by removing the mist containing the liquid agent for removing bacteria on the upper surface of the toilet seat, the bacteria can be removed from the toilet seat simply.

As described above, in the cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, the mist generating apparatus is disposed so as to eject mist containing a detergent component into a toilet, toilet, toilet, etc. as the object to be cleaned, and the object to be cleaned can be easily cleaned. Widely applicable to the toilet or toilet indoors.
