According to the present invention, after the compressed air is sprayed on the user's local part to remove and remove the water droplets on the local part, the remaining water is dried by the dry air, so that the drying time is shortened.

In addition, since the compressed air is injected from the front to the rear, there is no fear that contaminants on the anal side flow into the genital organs and are hygienically safe.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 shows a bidet device with a compressed air jet nozzle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3a is a perspective view of the compressed air jet nozzle, Figure 3b is a side view of the compressed air jet nozzle, Figure 3c is a compressed air jet The top view of a nozzle is shown, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bidet apparatus according to the present invention further includes a compressed air injection nozzle 100 in the configuration of the conventional bidet apparatus 20. Since the conventional bidet apparatus 20 is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 1, a redundant description will be omitted and the configuration and operation of the compressed air injection nozzle 100 will be described.

The compressed air injection nozzle 100 is installed in the main body 30 so as to be movable back and forth, and is normally disposed inside the main body 30, and during operation, the compressed air is moved to the front of the toilet seat 10 to use the compressed air to the user. And to discharge at the local portion of the. In FIG. 2, the compressed air jet nozzle 100 is illustrated below the nozzle assembly 32 and the drying apparatus 34, but is not limited thereto, and the nozzle assembly 32 and the drying apparatus may be used to increase space utilization. You may be arrange | positioned to the side or upper side of 34.

3A to 3C, the end portion 120 of the compressed air jet nozzle 100 is formed to be somewhat inclined upwardly from the longitudinal direction of the compressed air jet nozzle 100. The discharge port 122 is provided on the upper surface of the end portion 120 inclined upward. Since the upper surface of the end portion 120 is formed to be inclined upwardly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the injection nozzle 100, the compressed air injected from the discharge port 122 formed on the upper surface of the end portion 120 toward the rear side of the injection nozzle 100. It is discharged obliquely.

When the direction of the discharged compressed air is directed from the rear to the front, the washing water remaining near the anus may flow into the genitals in the front, causing discomfort or contamination of the genitals. In this way, the compressed air is directed from the front to the rear. Even if strong air is injected from the discharge port, water droplets near the anus can be prevented from flowing into the genital organs, which is hygienic. 4 is a view showing a user using a bidet equipped with a compressed air jet nozzle 100 according to the present invention. Since compressed air is discharged from the front to the back, the clean water droplets around the anus are directed to the genitals of the front. As it does not flow in, user can use in peace.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the compressed air jet nozzle 100 must be sufficiently extended in front of the user's local part in operation. More specifically, it is preferable to extend the compressed air jet nozzle 100 to about 5 cm in front of the perineal portion. Otherwise, it is not possible to form an air flow path directed from the front to the rear of the user's local portion.

As such, the compressed air jet nozzle 100 should be accommodated inside the main body 30 while having a stretchable length to the front of the perineal part. To this end, the compressed air injection nozzle 100 may be manufactured in the form of a flexible articulated joint. Alternatively, the compressed air injection nozzle 100 may be configured to be rolled out in a coil form and drawn out while being unfolded. In this case, the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is preferably made of a flexible member.

The discharge port 122 has a long rectangular slit shape extending in the width direction of the compressed air injection nozzle 100 and short in the longitudinal direction. The discharge port 122 is formed so as to extend in the width direction in order to remove water droplets on the user's local part by spraying compressed air to a wider portion of the user's local part. In addition, the discharge port 122 is formed in a short slit shape in the longitudinal direction so that the compression force of the compressed air discharged from the discharge hole 122 is not lost but is injected far with a strong compression force.

On the other hand, the flow path guide portion 124 in the vicinity of the discharge port 122 can be provided in a fan shape. A flow path through which the compressed air is spread from side to side due to the flow path guide part 124 near the discharge port 122 may be formed. Water droplets can be removed.

Although the end part 120 of the compressed air injection nozzle 100 provided with the discharge port 122 may be integrally formed with the compressed air injection nozzle 100, it can also be attached or detached and can be repaired or replaced easily.

5A and 5B show a configuration in which the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is connected to the compressed air supply means 200.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is connected to the compressed air supply means 200 to receive compressed air from the compressed air supply means 200. The compressed air supply means 200 may be an air pump, for example. The compressed air jet nozzle 100 is made of a material such as silicone having good flexibility and elasticity, and a compressed air barrier film 140 is provided in the middle of the jet nozzle 100.

Referring to FIG. 5A, since the blocking film 140 closes the compressed air injection nozzle 100 while compressed air is supplied by the air pump, the air supplied by the air pump does not escape to the discharge port 122 but is blocked. Only up to the closed portion is supplied by 140 so that the air is compressed therein at high pressure. At this time, since the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is made of silicone having elastic force, it is inflated by the pressure of air. Referring to FIG. 5B, after the air in the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is compressed to a predetermined pressure, the air pump stops operating and the blocking film 140 is opened. When the blocking layer 140 is opened, the compressed air trapped at high pressure in the compressed air injection nozzle 100 is discharged through the discharge port 122 of the injection nozzle end 120. At this time, since the compressed compressed air injection nozzle 100 is shrunk instantly, the compressed air may be discharged to the outside at a higher pressure by the contracting force. In this way, the compressed air discharged at a high pressure may be injected into the user's local part to remove water droplets remaining in the local part after cleaning.

The opening and closing of the blocking film 140 may be implemented by a solenoid valve or the like.

In the above description, the entire compressed air injection nozzle 100 has been described as being made of a material having elastic force, but the material has elasticity only from the portion where the compressed air supply means 200 is connected to the portion where the blocking film 140 is installed. It may be configured as.

On the other hand, the compressed air supply means 200 may be implemented as a multi-stage compressed air injection device having a motor drive piston applied to the electric gun. Since the electric gun can inject air at a high pressure instantaneously, as in the case of applying an air pump, a blocking film 140 is installed in the middle of the compressed air jet nozzle 100 or the compressed air jet nozzle 100 is made of an elastic material. There is no need to configure.

The method of injecting compressed air by the compressed air injection nozzle 100 according to the present invention is parallel to the drying method by the conventional drying apparatus 34. That is, the water droplets attached to the local part after the washing by the compressed air jet nozzle 100 are blown off, and the water remaining on the body surface can be reliably removed by the warm air discharged from the conventional drying apparatus 34.

As described above, since the compressed air is jetted instantaneously with the compressed air injection nozzle 100 to dry the local part with the drying device 34, the water droplets attached to the local part are dropped and removed, so that the local drying by the drying device 34 is performed. It is done quickly.
