Referring to FIG. 1, water is accommodated in the toilet 10. The toilet seat 20 is installed on the upper portion of the toilet 10.

The toilet seat bidet 20 includes a main body 30 seated on the toilet seat 10. A bracket (not shown) may be disposed below the main body 30 so as to be seated on the rear side of the upper surface of the toilet seat 10. This bracket is detachably coupled to the lower side of the body (30).

The seat plate 40 is hinged to be rotatable on the front side of the main body 30. A heater (not shown) is disposed inside the seat plate 40 to serve to warm the seat plate 40 to an appropriate temperature.

In addition, the cover 50 is coupled to the upper side of the main body 30 so as to be rotatable. The cover 50 is hinged to the upper side of the main body 30.

A drying device 60 may be installed inside the main body 30. The drying device 60 may blow air at room temperature or high temperature air to a part of the body.

The nozzle assembly 70 is disposed inside the main body 30. One or more nozzles 73 may be installed in the nozzle assembly 70 to reciprocate.

An operation unit 80 is disposed at one side 142 of the main body 30 to control the drying apparatus 60 and the nozzle assembly 70. The operation unit 80 includes a plurality of buttons so that the user can select a predetermined function. At this time, when the user presses the cleaning button or the bidet button, the nozzle 73 of the nozzle assembly 70 advances to the front side to clean a part of the body by spraying the washing water.

The main body 30 is provided with a nozzle sterilization module 100 for supplying sterilization water to the nozzle assembly 70. The nozzle sterilization module 100 may be connected to the nozzle cleaner 76 (see FIG. 2) of the nozzle assembly 70 by a tube 90.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a nozzle sterilization module constituting the toilet for the toilet, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the nozzle sterilization module.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the nozzle sterilization module 100 of the toilet seat bidet includes a case 110 forming an appearance, a receiving chamber 111 formed inside the case 110, and A sterilizing material 113 disposed inside the accommodating chamber 111, an inflow passage 115 formed to be partitioned from the accommodating chamber 111, and an outlet passage part partitioned to the accommodating chamber 111. 117.

The case 110 may be formed by screwing the lower housing and the upper housing or sealing the inside by ultrasonic welding. The case 110 may be formed in a substantially rectangular tube shape.

As the sterilizing material 113, any material that can be sterilized by being contained or melted in water such as silver oxide, iodine or silver nano may be applied. The sterilizing material 113 may be contained in the inside of the nonwoven bag through which water may pass or may be made of a porous sterilizing agent.

The inflow passage 115 may be connected to a water tank (not shown) or a water pipe (not shown) to allow water to flow therein. In addition, the water discharge passage 117 may be connected to the water inlet 74 of the nozzle cleaning unit 76 by a tube.

In addition, the water inflow passage 115 and the water discharge passage 117 may be partitioned from the accommodation chamber 111 by partition walls 116 and 118, respectively.

The inflow passage 115 may be disposed on one side of the accommodation chamber 111, and the outlet flow passage 117 may be disposed on the other side of the accommodation chamber 111.

In addition, the width W2 of the water outlet passage 117 may be smaller than the width W1 of the water passage passage 115. Therefore, the pressure discharged through the water outlet passage 117 is reduced rather than the rate at which water enters the accommodation chamber 111 through the water inlet passage 115. Can be increased.

The water discharge passage 117 may be divided into two or more water discharge passages 117a and 117b to be parallel to the longitudinal direction by the partition wall 118. In this case, when the water outlet passage 117 is divided into two water outlet passages 117a and 117b, the water outlet passages 117a and 117b may be formed in a substantially “∪” shape. In addition, the outlet flow path unit 117 may be formed in parallel with the three or more outlet flow paths in parallel with each other and the adjacent outlet flow paths may be formed.

The nozzle sterilization module 100 further includes a drain chamber 121 for communicating the inflow passage 115 and the accommodation chamber 111, and a drain cap 125 for detachably opening and closing the drain chamber 121. It may include.

In this case, two or more restraint ribs 122 are formed on an outer surface of the drain chamber 121, and two or more hooks 126 are provided on the drain cap 125 so that the restraint ribs 122 may be fastened. Can be formed.

In addition, the drain cap 125 may be coupled to the drain chamber 121 by a screw line. The structure in which the drain cap 125 is detachably coupled to the drain chamber 121 may be variously formed.

The bottom surface of the drain chamber 121 may be formed at a position lower than the bottom surface of the accommodating chamber 111. Therefore, water remaining on the bottom surface of the accommodating chamber 111 may be collected toward the drain chamber 121 so that the water in the accommodating chamber 111 may be completely drained to the outside.

In addition, the bottom surface of the accommodation chamber 111 may be inclined toward the drain chamber 121. Of course, the bottom surface of the accommodating chamber 111 may be inclined toward the drain chamber 121 by inclining the case 110.

In addition, the bottom surface of the drain chamber 121 may be formed at a position lower than the inflow passage 115 and the outlet passage 117. Therefore, water accumulated in the inflow passage 115 and the outflow passage 117 may be collected toward the drain chamber 121.

On the other hand, the portion in which the water flow passage 117 and the receiving chamber 111 communicate with each other may be disposed in a diagonal direction with the drain chamber 121. That is, the inlet side and the outlet side of the accommodation chamber 111 may be arranged in a diagonal direction.

Therefore, since the water inflow side and the water discharge side of the accommodation chamber 111 is farthest away to extend the path through which the water flows in the accommodation chamber 111, sterilization to the water in the accommodation chamber 111 The content of the material 113 may be increased.

The operation of the embodiment according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

3 and 4, water is introduced into the inflow passage 115 through a water tank or a water pipe. Water in the inflow passage 115 is introduced into the accommodation chamber 111 through the drain chamber 121. Water introduced into the receiving chamber 111 passes through the sterilizing material 113. Water introduced into the receiving chamber 111 dissolves or contains the sterilizing material 113 while being in contact with the sterilizing material 113.

In this case, since the width W2 of the water discharge passage 117 is formed to be smaller than the width W1 of the water passage passage 115, the amount of water flowing into the accommodation chamber 111 is greater than that of the accommodation chamber 111. More than the amount of water released. Therefore, since the water pressure increases due to the difference between the inflow and outflow of water in the accommodating chamber 111, the contact time between the water and the sterilizing material 113 in the accommodating chamber 111 may be increased. Furthermore, the content of the sterilizing material 113 in the water of the receiving chamber 111 may be increased.

The sterilizing water generated in the accommodating chamber 111 flows into the water inlet 74 of the nozzle cleaner 76 through the water outlet passage 117. The sterilizing water introduced into the water inlet 74 of the nozzle cleaner 76 is sprayed onto the nozzle tip 75 through the nozzle cleaner 76 to improve the cleaning efficiency and the sterilization efficiency of the nozzle tip 75. Let's do it.

On the other hand, when the toilet seat bidet is installed in a cold region or moved outside for moving, the drain cap 125 may be separated from the drain chamber 121 by rotating. At this time, since only the rotation of the drain cap 125 is separated, it is possible to easily drain the water in the drain chamber 121 and to prevent freezing of the nozzle sterilization module 100.

Since the present invention can improve the cleaning efficiency and sterilization efficiency of the nozzle tip, and can prevent the freezing of the nozzle sterilization module, there is a significant applicability in industry.
