Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the flow path control of the bidet for the toilet seat, Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the flow control device. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the flow path control device, Figure 6 is a partial cutaway perspective view showing the internal structure of the flow path control device.

3 to 6, the flow path control device 100 includes a first housing 110, a first flow path control unit 130, a second housing 160, and a second flow path control unit 170. do.

The first housing 110 may be formed in a cylindrical shape. The first housing 110 is provided with a water supply connection 111 so that the water supply pump 91 or the water pipe and the tube (not shown) can be connected. In addition, the coupling part 112 may be fastened to the first housing 110 so that the driving motor 158 of the first flow path control unit 130 may be coupled to the first housing 110. One end of the driving motor 158 is fixed to the coupling part 112 while being in surface contact.

First and second chambers 114 and 115 (see FIG. 6) are partitioned on the discharge side of the first housing 110. In this case, the first and second chambers 114 and 115 may partition the interior of the first housing 110 by a partition rib 117 (see FIG. 6) that crosses the interior of the first housing 110.

The first chamber 114 may be provided with a self-cleaning connecting portion 101 to supply water introduced into the first chamber 114 to the nozzle tip cleaner 77. The self-cleaning connecting portion 101 is connected to the water inlet portion (73a) of the nozzle tip cleaning portion 77 by a tube.

An inlet hole 121 may be formed in the air mixing unit 120 so that water of the second chamber 115 is introduced into the air mixing unit 120 and mixed with air and then discharged into the second housing 160.

The inflow hole 121 may be formed to correspond to the water inflow side of the second chamber 115. Therefore, the water of the second chamber 115 can be smoothly introduced into the air mixing unit 120 through the inlet hole 121.

Since the inner space of the air mixing unit 120 suddenly greatly enlarges in the inlet hole 121, a pressure drop occurs in the air mixing unit 120. Therefore, the mixing ratio of air in the air mixing unit 120 is significantly increased. In addition, since the air can be sufficiently mixed with water even when the pumping pressure of the air is relatively low, the use capacity of the air pump 95 can be reduced reflectively.

The first flow path control unit 130 is installed inside the first housing 110 to open one of the first and second chambers 114 and 115 so that water flows into one chamber.

The first channel adjusting unit 130 includes a first channel communicating member 140, the first channel opening and closing member 150, and a driving motor 158.

Two communication ports 141 and 142 are formed in the first channel communicating member 140 to correspond to the first and second chambers 114 and 115.

The locking jaw 118 supports the edge of the first flow path communication member 140 and the partition rib 117 supports the bottom surface of the first flow path communication member 140, and thus, the first flow path communication member 140. Even if hydraulic pressure acts on the first channel communication member 140, the deformation is prevented.

The first channel communicating member 140 is provided with a gasket 147 having a circular ring shape to seal a gap between the locking jaw 118 and the first channel communicating member 140. In addition, a cross portion 147a is formed in the gasket 147 so as to cross the center portion to seal a gap between the first channel communicating member 140 and the partition rib 117.

In addition, a groove 146 (see FIG. 4) is formed on one surface of the first channel communicating member 140 to fit the cross portion 147a of the gasket 147.

The first flow path opening and closing member 150 is rotatably installed in the first housing 110 to selectively open and close one of the two communication ports 141 and 142.

In this case, the first channel opening and closing member 150 is in contact with the first channel communication member 140 and the disk unit 151 is formed with an opening and closing groove 152 for opening and closing the communication port (141, 142), and the disk It may include a rotary part 155 axially coupled to the unit 151 and axially coupled to the drive motor 158. At this time, the disk unit 151 and the rotating unit 155 may be detachably coupled.

The first channel adjusting unit 130 may further include an elastic member 157 to closely contact the disk unit 151 of the first channel opening and closing member 150 with the first channel communicating member 140. . At this time, the elastic member 157 is coupled between the disk unit 151 and the rotating unit 155 to apply an elastic force to open the disk unit 151 and the rotating unit 155.

As the driving motor 158, a stepping motor capable of accurately adjusting the rotation angle may be applied.

Three or more compartments 161, 162, 163, and 164 may be partitioned in the second housing 160. In each of the compartments 161, 162, 163, and 164, nozzle connection parts 102, 103, 104, and 105 may be formed to connect the cleaning nozzle 73 and the flow path for supplying water to the bidet nozzle 75.

For example, four compartments may be formed in the second housing. At this time, the cleaning nozzle connecting portions 102 and 103 are formed in the pair of compartments 161 and 162, respectively, and the bidet nozzle connecting portions 104 and 105 are formed in the other pair of compartments 163 and 164, respectively. At this time, the pair of cleaning nozzles (102, 103) is connected to the water inlet (73a) of the cleaning nozzle 73 by a tube (not shown). The pair of bidet nozzle connections 104 and 105 are connected to the water inlet 75a of the bidet nozzle 75 by a tube.

In this case, the pair of compartments 161 and 162 are connected to the straight passage and the wide passage of the cleaning nozzle 73, and the other pair of compartments 163 and 164 are connected to the straight passage and the wide passage of the bidet nozzle 75.

In addition, three compartments may be formed in the second housing 160. At this time, the pair of compartments may be formed in the cleaning nozzle connection portion, the other compartment may be formed bidet nozzle connection portion.

In this case, the pair of compartments may be connected to the straight passage and the wide passage of the cleaning nozzle, and one compartment may be connected to the straight passage of the bidet nozzle.

In addition, when three compartments are formed inside the second housing, one compartment may be provided with a cleaning nozzle connection portion, and the other pair of compartments may have a bidet nozzle connection portion, respectively.

As such, the number of compartments formed in the second housing 160 may be changed according to the number of flow paths of the cleaning nozzle 73 and the bidet nozzle 75. Hereinafter, a description will be given based on the case in which four compartments 161, 162, 163 and 164 are formed in the second housing 160.

The second flow path control unit 170 is disposed inside the second housing 160. The second flow path control unit 170 is installed inside the second housing 160 to open a portion (one or two) of the four compartments 161, 162, 163, 164 and a part (one or the) of the four compartments 161, 162, 163, 164. 2) Let water flow in.

The second channel adjusting unit 170 includes a second channel communicating member 180, a second channel opening and closing member 190, and a driving motor 158.

Four communication ports 181, 182, 183 and 184 are formed in the second channel communicating member 180 so as to correspond to the respective compartments 161, 162, 163 and 164.

A locking jaw 168 is formed in the second housing 160 so as to support an edge of the second channel communicating member 180. At this time, since the second channel communicating member 180 is supported by the locking jaw 168 and the cross rib 167, even if the hydraulic pressure acts on the second channel communicating member 180, the second channel communicating member 180 Can be prevented from being deformed.

The second channel communicating member 180 is provided with a gasket 187 having a circular ring shape to seal a gap between the locking jaw 168 and the second channel communicating member 180. In addition, the gasket 187 has a cross-shaped cross portion 187a formed to cross the center portion to seal a gap between the second flow path communicating member 180 and the cross rib 167.

In addition, a cross-shaped groove 186 (see FIG. 4) is formed on one surface of the second channel communicating member 180 so that the cross-shaped cross portion 187a of the gasket 187 is fitted.

The second channel opening and closing member 190 is rotatably installed in the second housing 160 to selectively open or close some (one or two) of the four communication ports 181, 182, 183 and 184.

That is, the second flow path opening and closing member 190 may open a pair of compartments 161 and 162 or one compartment 161 and 162 in communication with the cleaning nozzle 73. Depending on the number of openings in the compartments 161 and 162, the washing nozzle 73 is sprayed with a wide stream or a straight stream.

Of course, the second channel opening and closing member 190 may open only a pair of compartments 163 and 164 or one compartment 163 and 164 in communication with the bidet nozzle 75. At this time, a wide water stream or a straight stream is injected from the bidet nozzle 75 according to the number of openings of the compartments 163 and 164.

In this case, the second channel opening and closing member 190 is in surface contact with the second channel communication member 180 and the disk unit 191 is formed with an opening and closing groove 192 opening and closing the communication port (181, 182, 183, 184), and the disk The assembly 191 may include an ash 195 that is axially coupled to the driving motor 198. At this time, the disk unit 191 and the rotating unit 195 may be detachably coupled.

The second channel adjusting unit 170 may further include an elastic member 197 to closely contact the disk 191 of the second channel opening and closing member 190 with the second channel communicating member 180. . At this time, the elastic member 197 is coupled between the disk portion 191 and the rotating portion 195 to act as an elastic force to open the disk portion 191 and the rotating portion 195.

As the driving motor 198, a stepping motor capable of precisely adjusting the rotation angle may be applied.

The first housing 110 and the second housing 160 may be disposed to have a flow path having a substantially “∪” shape. Therefore, the size of the flow path control apparatus 100 can be reduced.

Of course, the first housing 110 and the second housing 160 may be disposed to have a parallel flow path. Such a flow path control device will be relatively long compared to the flow path control device of the "∪" type.

7 is a perspective view showing a first flow path communication member.

Referring to FIG. 7, two communication ports 141 and 142 are formed in the first channel communicating member 140 to correspond to the first and second chambers 114 and 115. Step portions 141a and 142a are formed at one side of each communication port 141 and 142 to be spaced apart from the contact surface of the disk 151 of the first flow path opening and closing member 150 to flow into the first and second chambers 114 and 115. At least one stepped portion 141a and 142a may be formed to control the flow rate of the water.

At this time, when the opening and closing groove 152 of the disk 151 corresponds to the stepped portion 142a of the second chamber 115 having the highest amount, the smallest amount of water is supplied to the second chamber 115. In addition, when the opening and closing groove 152 of the disk 151 corresponds to the communication port 142, the second chamber 115 is supplied with the largest amount of water.

In addition, the opening and closing groove 152 of the first flow path opening and closing member 150 may be formed to a size that can correspond to one of the communication port (141, 142) and the step (141a, 142a). Accordingly, the opening and closing groove 152 may correspond to the communication ports 141 and 142 or to correspond to the stepped portions 141a and 142a.

8 is a perspective view illustrating a second flow path communication member.

Referring to FIG. 8, four communication ports 181, 182, 183 and 184 are formed in the second channel communicating member 180 so as to correspond to the respective compartments 161, 162, 163 and 164. At least one stepped portion 181a, 182a, 183a, 184a is formed at one side of each communication port 181, 182, 183, 184 so as to be spaced apart from the contact surface of the disk 191 of the second flow opening / closing member 190 so as to separate the compartments 161, 162, 163, 164 To control the flow rate of water.

Each pair of communication ports 181, 182, 183, and 184 may be provided with stepped portions 191a, 192a, 193a, and 194a toward the other communication port. In this case, the pair of communication holes means communication holes connected to the same nozzles 73 and 75. Therefore, when the opening and closing groove 192 is located in each pair of communication ports, water is simultaneously supplied to the straight channel and the wide channel of the same nozzles 73 and 75.

Since the flow path control apparatus 100 forms various flow paths in one body, the connection structure of the tube can be simplified. Furthermore, the assembly time and the manufacturing cost of the flow path control device can be reduced. In addition, the time for determining the connection position of each tube is significantly reduced when the flow path control device is broken, and the assembly time can be significantly shortened even when reassembling the respective tubes.

In addition, the flow path control device 100, since the connection relationship between the tubes is simplified, it is possible to immediately find the part where the leakage occurs.

In addition, since the bidet flow path control device 100 is simplified, an installation structure such as a rib or a fastening hole may be simply formed. Furthermore, since the structure of the mold for manufacturing the bidet is simplified, the manufacturing cost of the bidet can be reduced.

The operation of the flow path control device according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

FIG. 9 is a state diagram illustrating a state in which water is supplied to the straight channel and the wide channel of the cleaning nozzle when the bidet for the toilet is operated in the cleaning mode.

Referring to FIG. 9, when the user selects the wide cleaning button, the cleaning nozzle 73 is advanced by driving the nozzle driving device 78 of the nozzle assembly 70. In addition, water is supplied to the first housing 110 by operating the feed water pump 91.

In addition, as the driving motor 158 of the first channel adjusting unit 130 is rotated, the opening and closing groove 152 of the disc 151 opens the communication port 142 corresponding to the second chamber 115. Let's do it. At this time, water of the first housing 110 flows into the second chamber 115.

In addition, air is supplied to the air mixing unit 120 by operating the air pump 95. At the same time, the water of the second chamber 115 is introduced into the air mixing unit 120 through the inlet hole 121 of the air mixing unit 120.

In this case, since the space of the air mixing unit 120 suddenly expands after passing through the inlet hole 121, the pressure drop occurs in the air mixing unit 120. By supplying air to the air mixing unit 120 having a relatively low water pressure, the mixing ratio of air in the air mixing unit 120 is significantly increased. In the air mixing structure according to the present invention, the air mixing ratio is increased by approximately 20 to 30% compared to the structure in which the air tube is connected to the tube between the 2-way valve and the 4-way valve as in the prior art.

Water mixed with air in the air mixing unit 120 is introduced into the second housing 160. At this time, the opening and closing groove 192 of the disk 191 is connected to the cleaning nozzle 73 in the second channel communication member 180 by the rotation of the drive motor 198 of the second channel control unit 170. The pair of communication ports 181, 182 is opened. That is, the opening and closing grooves 192 of the disk 191 simultaneously open the stepped portions 181a and 182a formed at one side of the pair of communication ports 181 and 182.

In addition, the water flowing into the second housing 160 is supplied to the straight channel and the wide channel of the cleaning nozzle 73 in a state in which a small foam is formed. Therefore, the foamed wide water flow is injected through the nozzle tip 73b of the cleaning nozzle 73.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which water is supplied only to a straight flow path of the cleaning nozzle when the bidet for the toilet is operated in the cleaning mode.

Referring to FIG. 10, when the user selects the straight cleaning button, the cleaning nozzle 73 is advanced by driving the nozzle driving device 78 of the nozzle assembly 70. In addition, water is supplied to the first housing 110 by operating the feed water pump 91.

In addition, as the driving motor 158 of the first channel adjusting unit 130 is rotated, the opening and closing groove 152 of the disc 151 opens the communication port 142 corresponding to the second chamber 115. Let's do it. At this time, water of the first housing 110 flows into the second chamber 115.

At this time, air is supplied to the air mixing unit 120 by operating the air pump 95. At the same time, the water of the second chamber 115 is introduced into the air mixing unit 120 through the inlet hole 121 of the air mixing unit 120. At this time, in the air mixing unit 120, the mixing ratio of air is significantly increased by the pressure drop. Water mixed with air in the air mixing unit 120 is introduced into the second housing 160.
