  • a massage effect can be obtained by applying a bubble flow to the body.
  • the cleaning water discharge device A may be applied to an ultrasonic cleaning device.
  • the frequency of the pressure fluctuation on the surface to be cleaned i.e., the frequency of the vibration c
  • Ultrasonic vibration has a short wavelength, so it can reach and clean dirt that has entered, for example, wrinkles and irregularities on the human body surface, and its cleaning power is extremely high.
  • High-frequency vibration has a short wavelength and can clean even fine irregularities, but the vibration is damped quickly.
  • the washing area is small.
  • Low frequency vibration has a long wavelength and low local cleaning power, but the vibration is attenuated slowly and the cleaning area is large.
  • the bubble diameter can be controlled under the same amount of air, the number of bubbles colliding with the surface to be cleaned per unit time can be controlled, and the frequency of vibration generated on the surface to be cleaned can be controlled. That is, by controlling the bubble diameter, it is possible to control the range and strength of the cleaning power.
  • the vibration frequency is low, so it is possible to clean a wide range evenly.
  • the vibration frequency is high, so it is possible to remove local strong dirt.
  • the vibration frequency is high, the attenuation is fast, so that the vibration is attenuated on the surface of the human body, and the stimulation on the surface of the skin is strongly felt.
  • the frequency range from about 5 Hz to about 30 Hz is very suitable because it has a high massage effect because it approximately matches the frequency of free vibration near the skin surface of the human body, and gives a high amount of water with a small amount of washing water. .
  • the cleaning water discharge device uses the bubble generating member made of a porous material to generate fine bubbles and disperse and mix the cleaning water in the cleaning water. After that, the mixed air bubbles may be crushed to be fine.
  • a constant flow valve 1 1 1 1 As shown in FIG. 38, in the washing water discharge device E, a constant flow valve 1 1 1, a bubble mixing device 1 1 2 A foam crusher 1 13 is attached, and a washing water discharge nozzle 11 is attached at the downstream end of the pipe 110.
  • the bubble mixing device 1 1 2 is composed of a pipe 1 1 2 a forming a washing water flow path, and a thin pipe 1 1 2 b substantially orthogonal to the pipe 1 1 2 a and opened on the inner surface of the side wall of the pipe 1 12 a. ing.
  • the bubble crusher 1 13 has a pipe 1 13a that forms the washing water flow path, and a single opening 1 1 3 installed in the pipe 1 13a.
  • a baffle plate 1 13 b having a pipe, or as shown in FIG. 3 9 (b), a pipe 1 13 a forming a washing water channel, and a plurality of pipes attached in the pipe 1 13 a.
  • the mesh 113d is formed by stacking a plurality of woven or nonwoven fabrics of synthetic resin fibers or metal fibers.
  • a forced air supply device 1 15 having an air pump 1 15 a is connected to the thin tube 1 1 2 b of the bubble mixing device 1 12.
  • the pressurized air supplied from the forced air supply device 115 mixes into the washing water flowing in the pipe 112a through the thin tube 112b. Since the thin tube 1 12b is open to the inner surface of the side wall of the pipe 112a, bubbles generated at the end of the thin tube 112b grow in a direction substantially orthogonal to the washing water flow. As a result, the bubbles are subjected to a shearing force from the washing water flowing through the pipe 112a and leave the end of the thin tube 112b at the initial stage of growth, and are taken into the washing water. Therefore, relatively small bubbles are mixed into the washing water.
  • the bubble crusher 1 1 When passing through the opening 1 1 3 c, 3 baffle plate 1 1 3 c, the cross-sectional area of the flow path decreases, the flow velocity of the cleaning water flow increases, and the shear force from the cleaning water applied to the small-diameter bubbles increases. As a result, the small bubbles are crushed into fine bubbles.
  • a cleaning water discharge device that discharges a bubble flow to increase the cleaning power of the cleaning water, realizes a soft cleaning feeling, and realizes significant water saving.
