Description

ノズル装置とそれを備える衛生洗浄装置Nozzle device and sanitary washing device provided with the same
 本発明は人体の局部を洗浄する洗浄水を噴出するノズル装置とそれを備える衛生洗浄装置に関するものであり、特にノズル装置の構成に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a nozzle device for jetting cleaning water for cleaning a local part of a human body and a sanitary cleaning device including the nozzle device, and particularly to a configuration of the nozzle device.
 従来のノズル装置は、噴出口の下方に一対の渦流室を設け、水流による圧力差を利用して洗浄水を自励発振する流体発振素子を応用して、洗浄水の噴出方向を周期的に変化させることにより、洗浄範囲を拡大するとともに噴出強度を変化させている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 The conventional nozzle device is provided with a pair of vortex chambers below the jet nozzle and applies a fluid oscillation element that self-oscillates the wash water using a pressure difference caused by the water flow to periodically change the jet direction of the wash water. By changing, the cleaning range is expanded and the jetting intensity is changed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
 図12は、特許文献1に記載されている液体発振ノズルの噴出口近傍の概略構成を示す模式図である。 FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration in the vicinity of the ejection port of the liquid oscillation nozzle described in Patent Document 1.
 図12に示すように、特許文献1に記載されている液体発振ノズルでは、給水路1には、該給水路1に対し略垂直に流路径を絞った主ノズル2が接続されている。主ノズル2には、主ノズル2よりも流路径の大きい主水路3が連通している。主水路3の上流側には、外気を導入する空気導入口6が設けられていて、その両側には、旋回水路4が連通している。また、主水路3の下流側には、噴出口5が連通しており、噴出口5は、入り口側から出口側に向かって開口が徐々に拡大するように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 12, in the liquid oscillation nozzle described in Patent Document 1, a main nozzle 2 having a flow path diameter substantially perpendicular to the water supply path 1 is connected to the water supply path 1. A main water channel 3 having a larger channel diameter than the main nozzle 2 communicates with the main nozzle 2. An air introduction port 6 for introducing outside air is provided on the upstream side of the main water channel 3, and the swirling water channel 4 communicates with both sides thereof. Further, a jet outlet 5 communicates with the downstream side of the main water channel 3, and the jet outlet 5 is formed so that the opening gradually expands from the entrance side toward the exit side.
 給水路1から流入した洗浄水は、主ノズル2を通過して主水路3に流入し、噴出口5より噴出する。このとき、主水路3に流入した洗浄水の一部が、一方の旋回水路4に流入し、旋回流を発生することにより、主水路3の洗浄水の流れが、一方の旋回水路4側に引き寄せられ、噴出口5から噴出する洗浄水も同様に、一方の旋回水路4側に引き寄せられて噴出する。すると、ひき寄せられた側の旋回流路4の流速が上がり、引き寄せられた側の旋回流路の圧力が上昇し、他方の旋回流路4は流速が下がるため圧力は下がり、旋回水路4間の圧力差が生じて、主水路3の洗浄水は他方の旋回水路4側に引き寄せられて噴出する。そして、上記動作を繰り返すことにより洗浄水は自動的に発振し、振動して噴出口5から噴出することができる。 Wash water that has flowed in from the water supply channel 1 passes through the main nozzle 2, flows into the main water channel 3, and is ejected from the outlet 5. At this time, a part of the wash water that has flowed into the main water channel 3 flows into the one swirl water channel 4 and generates a swirl flow, whereby the flow of the wash water in the main water channel 3 is directed to the one swirl water channel 4 side. The washing water that is attracted and ejected from the ejection port 5 is also attracted and ejected toward the one turning water channel 4 side. Then, the flow speed of the swirling flow path 4 on the attracted side increases, the pressure of the swirling flow path on the attracted side increases, and the flow speed of the other swirl flow path 4 decreases, so the pressure decreases, Thus, the wash water in the main water channel 3 is drawn toward the other swirl water channel 4 and ejected. Then, by repeating the above operation, the washing water automatically oscillates and can be vibrated and ejected from the ejection port 5.
 また、主水路3に設けた空気導入口6より、主水路3内に外気を導入することにより、洗浄水のボリュームが増すとともに、噴出口5をふさぐ作用が増す。これにより、旋回水路4間の圧力差が高まり、発振がより安定させることができる。 Further, by introducing the outside air into the main water channel 3 from the air inlet 6 provided in the main water channel 3, the volume of the washing water is increased and the action of blocking the jet port 5 is increased. Thereby, the pressure difference between the turning water channels 4 is increased, and the oscillation can be further stabilized.

 しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、噴出口5の下方に、洗浄水を発振させるための2個の旋回水路4を設けることが必須の構成要素であるため、ノズルの先端部分が大型化するという課題があった。特に、1個のノズルに、お尻洗浄とビデ洗浄等の複数の噴出口を設ける複合機能のノズル装置においては、大型化に加え、構造の複雑化により、実施する上で非常に難易度が高くなるという課題があった。 However, in the conventional configuration, since it is an indispensable component to provide the two swirling water channels 4 for oscillating the wash water below the jet nozzle 5, there is a problem that the tip portion of the nozzle is enlarged. was there. In particular, in a multi-function nozzle device in which a single nozzle is provided with a plurality of jet outlets such as a butt cleaning and a bidet cleaning, in addition to an increase in size, the complexity of the structure increases the difficulty. There was a problem of becoming higher.
 本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、小型でシンプルな構成により、複合ノズルにおいても実施が容易で、振動流を噴出することができるノズル装置とそれを備える衛生洗浄装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and provides a nozzle device that can be easily implemented even in a composite nozzle with a small and simple configuration and can eject a vibration flow, and a sanitary washing device including the nozzle device. For the purpose.
 前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明に係るノズル装置は、ノズル本体を備え、前記ノズル本体には、洗浄水が通流する主水路と、前記洗浄水を噴出する噴出口と、前記主水路と前記噴出口を連通する噴出流路と、が設けられ、前記噴出流路には、該噴出流路の断面積が前記主水路の断面積よりも小さくなるように段差部が設けられ、前記噴出流路の外方には、圧力連通路が設けられ、前記圧力連通路は、前記主水路と連通するように設けられた少なくとも2つの間隙と、該少なくとも2つの間隙を連通するように設けられた連通路と、を有している。 In order to solve the conventional problem, a nozzle device according to the present invention includes a nozzle body, and the nozzle body has a main water channel through which cleaning water flows, a jet outlet from which the cleaning water is jetted, A jet channel that communicates the main water channel with the jet port, and a step portion is provided in the jet channel so that a cross-sectional area of the jet channel is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the main water channel. A pressure communication path is provided outside the ejection flow path, and the pressure communication path communicates at least two gaps provided so as to communicate with the main water channel, and the at least two gaps. And a communication path provided in the.
 これにより、主水路から噴出流路に流入する洗浄水は、段差部で渦が発生する。このため、噴出流路の入口近傍では、洗浄水の一部は、噴出流路を形成する壁面から剥離して、圧力が上昇する流れとなり、また、一部は、噴出流路を形成する壁面に付着して、圧力が低下する流れとなる。圧力差が発生することにより、圧力の高い剥離側から圧力の低い付着側に向かって、圧力連通路を介して2次流が生じる。そして、この2次流の作用により、付着した流れは剥離した流れに移行して、付着側の圧力が上昇することにより、逆の圧力差が発生する。圧力差が反転することにより、反対方向の2次流が発生して、再び剥離側の圧力が上昇する。これらの作用が繰り返して行われることにより、付着箇所と剥離箇所の移動が交互に発生して、噴出流路に流入した洗浄水を発振させることができる(洗浄水を振動流にすることができる)。 This causes a swirl in the stepped portion of the wash water flowing from the main water channel into the ejection channel. For this reason, in the vicinity of the inlet of the ejection flow path, a part of the washing water peels off from the wall surface forming the ejection flow path, and the pressure increases, and a part of the wall surface forms the ejection flow path. It adheres to and becomes a flow in which the pressure decreases. When the pressure difference is generated, a secondary flow is generated through the pressure communication path from the high pressure peeling side to the low pressure adhesion side. Then, due to the action of the secondary flow, the attached flow shifts to a separated flow, and the pressure on the attachment side rises, thereby generating a reverse pressure difference. When the pressure difference is reversed, a secondary flow in the opposite direction is generated, and the pressure on the separation side increases again. By repeatedly performing these actions, the movement of the adhered portion and the peeled portion occurs alternately, and the washing water flowing into the ejection flow path can be oscillated (the washing water can be made into an oscillating flow. ).
 また、噴出流路は、段差部により、その断面積が小さいため、上記振動流の脈動を増幅することができる。このため、噴出口から噴出する洗浄水を脈動感の強い振動流(噴流)にすることができ、使用者の皮膚感覚への刺激を繰り返し行うことで、使用者に強い洗浄であるという感覚を生じさせることができる。 Moreover, since the jet flow path has a small cross-sectional area due to the step portion, the pulsation of the vibration flow can be amplified. For this reason, the washing water ejected from the ejection port can be made into an oscillating flow (jet flow) with a strong pulsation feeling, and by repeatedly stimulating the user's skin sensation, the user feels that the washing is strong. Can be generated.
 したがって、本発明のノズル装置では、噴出口から噴出する洗浄水を、振動流を伴う噴流にすることができ、洗浄力を高めることができるとともに、洗浄感を高めることができる。また、本発明のノズル装置では、上記脈動感の強い振動流を段差部と圧力連通路で実施することができるので、シンプルな構成となり、ノズル装置を小型化することができる。 Therefore, in the nozzle device of the present invention, the washing water ejected from the ejection port can be made into a jet with an oscillating flow, and the washing power can be enhanced and the washing feeling can be enhanced. Further, in the nozzle device of the present invention, the vibration flow having a strong pulsation feeling can be implemented by the step portion and the pressure communication path, so that the configuration is simple and the nozzle device can be miniaturized.
 また、本発明の衛生洗浄装置は、上記本発明のノズル装置と、ノズル装置に洗浄水を供給する洗浄水供給手段と、ノズル装置と洗浄水供給手段を制御する制御手段と、便器の上面に載置する便座と、を備える。 Further, the sanitary washing device of the present invention includes the nozzle device of the present invention, a cleaning water supply unit that supplies cleaning water to the nozzle device, a control unit that controls the nozzle device and the cleaning water supply unit, and an upper surface of the toilet bowl. And a toilet seat to be placed.
 これにより、洗浄力が高く、かつ、洗浄感の高い衛生洗浄装置を提供することができる。 Thereby, it is possible to provide a sanitary washing device having a high detergency and a high washing feeling.

 本発明のノズル装置は、ノズル本体を備え、ノズル本体には、洗浄水が通流する主水路と、洗浄水を噴出する噴出口と、主水路と噴出口を連通する噴出流路と、が設けられ、噴出流路には、該噴出流路の断面積が主水路の断面積よりも小さくなるように段差部が設けられ、噴出流路の外方には、圧力連通路が設けられ、圧力連通路は、主水路と連通するように設けられた少なくとも2つの間隙と、該少なくとも2つの間隙を連通するように設けられた連通路と、を有している。 The nozzle device of the present invention includes a nozzle body, and the nozzle body includes a main water channel through which the cleaning water flows, a jet port through which the cleaning water is jetted, and a jet channel that communicates the main water channel with the jet port. A step portion is provided in the ejection channel so that the cross-sectional area of the ejection channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the main water channel, and a pressure communication channel is provided outside the ejection channel; The pressure communication path has at least two gaps provided to communicate with the main water channel and a communication path provided to communicate the at least two gaps.
 ここで、噴出流路の断面積は、噴出流路内の洗浄水の通流方向に対して垂直方向における断面積をいう。同様に、主水路の断面積は、主水路内の洗浄水の通流方向に対して垂直方向における断面積をいう。 Here, the cross-sectional area of the ejection flow path refers to the cross-sectional area in the direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the washing water in the ejection flow path. Similarly, the cross-sectional area of the main water channel refers to a cross-sectional area in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the wash water in the main water channel.
 また、連通路は、主水路とは別に、少なくとも2つの間隙を連通するように形成されている。 Also, the communication passage is formed so as to communicate with at least two gaps separately from the main water channel.
 これにより、主水路から噴出流路に流入する洗浄水は、段差部で渦が発生する。このため、噴出流路の入口近傍では、洗浄水の一部は、噴出流路を形成する壁面から剥離して、圧力が上昇する流れとなり、また、洗浄水の他の一部は、噴出流路を形成する壁面に付着して、圧力が低下する流れとなる。圧力差が発生することにより、圧力の高い剥離側から圧力の低い付着側に向かって、圧力連通路を介して2次流が生じる。そして、この2次流の作用により、付着した流れは剥離した流れに移行して、付着側の圧力が上昇することにより、逆の圧力差が発生する。圧力差が反転することにより、反対方向の2次流が発生して、再び剥離側の圧力が上昇する。これらの作用が繰り返して行われることにより、付着箇所と剥離箇所の移動が交互に発生して、噴出流路に流入した洗浄水を発振させることができる(洗浄水を振動流にすることができる)。 This causes a swirl in the stepped portion of the wash water flowing from the main water channel into the ejection channel. For this reason, in the vicinity of the inlet of the ejection flow path, a part of the washing water is peeled off from the wall surface forming the ejection flow path, and the pressure rises. It adheres to the wall surface that forms the path, resulting in a flow in which the pressure drops. When the pressure difference is generated, a secondary flow is generated through the pressure communication path from the high pressure peeling side to the low pressure adhesion side. Then, due to the action of the secondary flow, the attached flow shifts to a separated flow, and the pressure on the attachment side rises, thereby generating a reverse pressure difference. When the pressure difference is reversed, a secondary flow in the opposite direction is generated, and the pressure on the separation side increases again. By repeatedly performing these actions, the movement of the adhered portion and the peeled portion occurs alternately, and the washing water flowing into the ejection flow path can be oscillated (the washing water can be made into an oscillating flow. ).
 また、噴出流路は、段差部により、その断面積が小さいため、上記振動流の振幅を増大することができる。このため、噴出口から噴出される洗浄水を脈動感の強い振動流(噴流)にすることができ、使用者の皮膚感覚への刺激を繰り返し行うことで、使用者に強い洗浄であるという感覚を生じさせることができる。 Moreover, since the jet flow path has a small cross-sectional area due to the stepped portion, the amplitude of the vibration flow can be increased. For this reason, the washing water ejected from the ejection port can be made into an oscillating flow (jet) with a strong pulsation feeling, and the user feels that the washing is strong by repeatedly stimulating the skin sensation. Can be generated.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、圧力連通路は、噴出流路の外周に沿うように設けられていてもよい。 In the nozzle device according to the present invention, the pressure communication path may be provided along the outer periphery of the ejection flow path.
 これにより、圧力連通路を段差部の全ての場所で発生した圧力差に対応することが可能となり、振動流を確実に発生させることが可能となるとともに、圧力連通路をシンプルな構成で実施することができる。 As a result, the pressure communication path can be adapted to the pressure difference generated at all locations in the stepped portion, and the vibration flow can be generated reliably, and the pressure communication path is implemented with a simple configuration. be able to.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、圧力連通路は、噴出流路の外周に沿うように設けられた間隙と、該間隙の終端に連通する環状の圧力連通室と、で構成されていてもよい。 In the nozzle device according to the present invention, the pressure communication path may be configured by a gap provided along the outer periphery of the ejection flow path and an annular pressure communication chamber communicating with the end of the gap. Good.
 これにより、圧力連通路を段差部の全ての場所で発生した圧力差に対応することが可能となり、振動流を確実に発生させることが可能となるとともに、圧力連通路をシンプルな構成で実施することができる。 As a result, the pressure communication path can be adapted to the pressure difference generated at all locations in the stepped portion, and the vibration flow can be generated reliably, and the pressure communication path is implemented with a simple configuration. be able to.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、噴出流路は、基端部よりも先端部の方がその断面積が大きくなるように段状に形成されていてもよい。 Further, in the nozzle device according to the present invention, the ejection flow path may be formed in a step shape so that the cross-sectional area of the distal end portion is larger than that of the proximal end portion.
 これにより、振動流となった洗浄水は、噴出流路を通流するときに、噴出流路の段状に形成されている部分(角)で、渦が発生することにより、噴出流路内で圧力差が生じ、洗浄水の脈動をさらに振幅を増大させることができ、脈動感を更に増大することができる。 As a result, when the washing water that has become an oscillating flow flows through the ejection flow path, vortices are generated in the portions (corners) formed in the step shape of the ejection flow path. Thus, the pressure difference is generated, and the amplitude of the pulsation of the washing water can be further increased, and the pulsation feeling can be further increased.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、噴出流路が、その軸心が主水路の軸心に対して、ノズル本体の後端側に5~20度傾斜するように設けられていてもよい。 Further, in the nozzle device according to the present invention, the ejection flow path may be provided such that its axis is inclined 5 to 20 degrees toward the rear end side of the nozzle body with respect to the axis of the main water channel.
 これにより、噴出流路内で、洗浄水は適度な剥離と付着をより発生させやすくなり、より安定して振動流を発生させることができ、また、より洗浄水の振動振幅を増大させることができる。 As a result, the cleaning water is more likely to generate appropriate separation and adhesion within the ejection flow path, can generate a more stable vibration flow, and can further increase the vibration amplitude of the cleaning water. it can.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、ノズル本体の少なくとも一部を覆う筒状のノズルカバーを備え、ノズルカバーには噴出開口が設けられ、ノズル本体とノズルカバーは摺動可能に構成されていてもよい。 Further, the nozzle device according to the present invention includes a cylindrical nozzle cover that covers at least a part of the nozzle body, the nozzle cover is provided with an ejection opening, and the nozzle body and the nozzle cover are configured to be slidable. Also good.
 これにより、洗浄水噴出時には、ノズル本体、特に噴出口の近傍が、ノズルカバーで覆われており、洗浄により汚れた洗浄水でノズル本体が汚染されることが少なく、衛生的である。 Therefore, when the cleaning water is ejected, the nozzle body, particularly the vicinity of the nozzle outlet, is covered with the nozzle cover, and the nozzle body is hardly contaminated by the cleaning water soiled by cleaning, which is sanitary.
 また、本発明に係るノズル装置では、主水路の途中に、該主水路を通流する洗浄水の一部の流速を変更するように構成された変速部が設けられていてもよい。 Further, in the nozzle device according to the present invention, a transmission unit configured to change the flow velocity of a part of the wash water flowing through the main water channel may be provided in the middle of the main water channel.
 これにより、主水路を通流する洗浄水は、変速部において流速のバランスが崩れるため、旋回成分が付与される。このため、旋回成分が付与された洗浄水が、噴出流路に流入される。そして、噴出流路内に流入した洗浄水は、その一部が噴出流路を形成する壁面から剥離するように流れ、また、別の一部が壁面に付着するように流れる。このとき、洗浄水は、旋回成分を付与されているため、剥離箇所と付着箇所が順次移動し、振動流がより発生しやすくなる。 This causes the washing water flowing through the main water channel to have a swirling component because the balance of flow velocity is lost in the transmission. For this reason, the wash water to which the swirl component is imparted flows into the ejection channel. And the washing water which flowed in into the ejection flow path flows so that a part may peel from the wall surface which forms an ejection flow path, and it flows so that another part may adhere to a wall surface. At this time, since the swirling component is imparted to the cleaning water, the separation site and the adhesion site move sequentially, and the vibration flow is more likely to occur.
 さらに、本発明に係るノズル装置では、主水路の途中に、直角状に屈曲する屈曲部と、湾曲面を有する湾曲部が設けられていて、変速部は、屈曲部と湾曲部で構成されていてもよい。 Furthermore, in the nozzle device according to the present invention, a bent portion that is bent at a right angle and a curved portion having a curved surface are provided in the middle of the main water channel, and the transmission portion is configured by the bent portion and the curved portion. May be.
 これにより、変速部において、洗浄水に旋回成分をより付与しやすくすることができる。 This makes it easier to impart a swirl component to the wash water in the transmission unit.
 また、本発明に係る衛生洗浄装置は、上記ノズル装置と、ノズル装置に洗浄水を供給する洗浄水供給手段と、ノズル装置と洗浄水供給手段を制御する制御手段と、便器の上面に載置する便座を備える。 Further, a sanitary washing device according to the present invention is mounted on the upper surface of the toilet device, the cleaning water supply means for supplying cleaning water to the nozzle device, the control means for controlling the nozzle device and the cleaning water supply means. A toilet seat is provided.
 これにより、洗浄力が高く、かつ、洗浄感の高い衛生洗浄装置を提供することができる。 Thereby, it is possible to provide a sanitary washing device having a high detergency and a high washing feeling.

 図5(a)及び図5(b)に示すように、ノズルユニット200は、略円筒形のノズル本体300と、ノズル本体300を収容する略円筒形状のノズルカバー400と、ノズルカバー400とノズル本体300を連結/分離する連結手段500を有している。ノズルカバー400は、ノズルカバー本体410とノズルラックブロック420とが一体となって構成されている。なお、連結手段500は、ノズルカバー400とノズル本体300を連結することにより、ノズルカバー400でノズル本体300を牽引する。 As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the nozzle unit 200 includes a substantially cylindrical nozzle body 300, a substantially cylindrical nozzle cover 400 that accommodates the nozzle body 300, the nozzle cover 400, and the nozzle. A connecting means 500 for connecting / separating the main body 300 is provided. The nozzle cover 400 includes a nozzle cover body 410 and a nozzle rack block 420 that are integrated. The connecting means 500 pulls the nozzle body 300 with the nozzle cover 400 by connecting the nozzle cover 400 and the nozzle body 300.
 ノズルカバー本体410は、ステンレスの薄板を円筒状に形成したものであり、先端面は閉塞面をなし、後端面は開放面となっており、後端面よりノズル本体300が挿入可能な形状をなしている。ノズルカバー本体410の下面後方には、ノズルラックブロック420と嵌合するスリット状の開口が設けられていて、ノズルカバー本体410の下面前方には、ノズルカバー本体410内の洗浄水を排出する排水口412が設けられている(図3(b)及び図4(b)参照)。また、ノズルカバー本体410の上面には、1個の噴出開口411が設けている。ノズルラックブロック420の下面には、略全長に亘って歯型状のラック421が設けられている。 The nozzle cover main body 410 is formed by forming a thin stainless steel plate into a cylindrical shape, the front end surface is a closed surface, the rear end surface is an open surface, and the nozzle main body 300 can be inserted from the rear end surface. ing. A slit-like opening that fits into the nozzle rack block 420 is provided behind the lower surface of the nozzle cover main body 410, and drainage for discharging the cleaning water in the nozzle cover main body 410 is provided in front of the lower surface of the nozzle cover main body 410. A mouth 412 is provided (see FIGS. 3B and 4B). Further, one ejection opening 411 is provided on the upper surface of the nozzle cover main body 410. A tooth-shaped rack 421 is provided on the lower surface of the nozzle rack block 420 over substantially the entire length.
 ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400は相互に摺動可能な構成をなしており、ビデ洗浄位置とお尻洗浄位置において、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400は、連結手段500によって、所定の相対位置に停止するように構成されている。すなわち、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400は、ビデ洗浄位置においては、ノズルカバー400の噴出開口411がノズル本体300のビデ洗浄噴出口340と重なるように停止し(図3(b)参照)、ビデ洗浄位置においては、ノズルカバー400の噴出開口411がノズル本体300のビデ洗浄噴出口340と重なるように停止する(図4(b)参照)。 The nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 are configured to be slidable with each other, and the nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 are stopped at a predetermined relative position by the connecting means 500 in the bidet cleaning position and the buttocks cleaning position. It is configured as follows. That is, the nozzle main body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 stop at the bidet cleaning position so that the ejection opening 411 of the nozzle cover 400 overlaps with the bidet cleaning ejection outlet 340 of the nozzle main body 300 (see FIG. 3B). At the cleaning position, the ejection opening 411 of the nozzle cover 400 stops so as to overlap the bidet cleaning ejection port 340 of the nozzle body 300 (see FIG. 4B).
 なお、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400が互いにスムーズに摺動可能な寸法関係となるように、ノズル本体300は、その外径がノズルカバーノズルカバー400の内径より僅かに小さく形成されている。また、噴出開口411は、ビデ洗浄噴出口340及びお尻洗浄噴出口320より開口が大きく、洗浄水が噴出開口411に当たって噴出に支障が生ずることがない構成となっている。 The outer diameter of the nozzle main body 300 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the nozzle cover nozzle cover 400 so that the nozzle main body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 can slide smoothly with each other. Further, the ejection opening 411 has a larger opening than the bidet washing ejection port 340 and the buttocks washing ejection port 320, and the washing water hits the ejection opening 411 so that the ejection is not hindered.
 また、図3(a)及び図4(a)に示すように、ケーシング110の下部には、ノズル駆動手段113が設置されている。ノズル駆動手段113は、駆動モータ114と複数の変速ギア(図示せず)とピニオンギア115を備えている。 In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, a nozzle driving means 113 is installed at the lower portion of the casing 110.

 そして、図5(b)に示すように、ピニオンギア115は、ノズルカバー400を構成するノズルラックブロック420の下面に設置したラック421と噛合する位置に設置されている。駆動モータ114の回転は、図示されない変速ギアを介して、回転数を落としてピニオンギア115に伝達され、ピニオンギア115が回転することにより、ラック421を有するノズルカバー400が摺動する。駆動モータ114は、本体20の制御手段(図示せず)に接続されていて、該制御手段により運転が制御される。また、駆動モータ114の後部には、駆動モータ114の回転数を検知する回転検知センサ(図示せず)が設置されている。 And as shown in FIG.5 (b), the pinion gear 115 is installed in the position which meshes with the rack 421 installed in the lower surface of the nozzle rack block 420 which comprises the nozzle cover 400. FIG. The rotation of the drive motor 114 is transmitted to the pinion gear 115 at a lower rotational speed via a transmission gear (not shown), and the pinion gear 115 rotates, so that the nozzle cover 400 having the rack 421 slides. The drive motor 114 is connected to control means (not shown) of the main body 20, and operation is controlled by the control means. Further, a rotation detection sensor (not shown) that detects the number of rotations of the drive motor 114 is installed at the rear of the drive motor 114.

In the following description, the direction of the front end portion of the nozzle body is referred to as the front end side, and the direction of the rear end portion is referred to as the rear end side.
 図5(b)及び図6に示すように、ノズル本体300は、樹脂材料で成型されていて、ノズル本体基材301と、ノズル蓋部材302と、ノズル底部材303と、で形成されている。具体的には、ノズル本体300は、お尻洗浄流路310とビデ洗浄流路330が一体に成型されたノズル本体基材301に、お尻洗浄噴出口320とビデ洗浄噴出口340が設けられたノズル蓋部材302と、お尻洗浄流路310の屈曲部311を形成するノズル底部材303と、を溶着で接合することにより、形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 5B and 6, the nozzle body 300 is formed of a resin material, and is formed of a nozzle body base material 301, a nozzle lid member 302, and a nozzle bottom member 303. . Specifically, the nozzle body 300 is provided with a bottom cleaning jet 320 and a bidet cleaning outlet 340 in a nozzle body base 301 formed integrally with a bottom cleaning flow path 310 and a bidet cleaning flow path 330. The nozzle lid member 302 and the nozzle bottom member 303 that forms the bent portion 311 of the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 are joined together by welding.
 ノズル本体300の内部には、ノズル本体300の軸心と略平行に、お尻洗浄流路(主水路)310とビデ洗浄流路330の2本の流路が配設されている。お尻洗浄流路310はノズル本体300の下部に配設されていて、ビデ洗浄流路330はノズル本体300の上部に配設されている。お尻洗浄流路310とビデ洗浄流路330の後端部には、洗浄水供給手段より供給される洗浄水が流入する、お尻洗浄水供給口319とビデ洗浄水供給口339がそれぞれ接続されている。 Inside the nozzle body 300, two channels of a butt cleaning channel (main water channel) 310 and a bidet cleaning channel 330 are disposed substantially parallel to the axis of the nozzle body 300. The buttocks cleaning channel 310 is disposed in the lower part of the nozzle body 300, and the bidet cleaning channel 330 is disposed in the upper part of the nozzle body 300. The rear end of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 and the bidet cleaning channel 330 is connected to the buttocks cleaning water supply port 319 and the bidet cleaning water supply port 339 through which cleaning water supplied from the cleaning water supply means flows, respectively. Has been.
 また、ノズル本体300の上面の先端部には、お尻洗浄噴出口(噴出口)320が設けられており、お尻洗浄噴出口320より後端側には、ビデ洗浄噴出口340が設けられている。 Also, a butt cleaning jet (spout) 320 is provided at the tip of the upper surface of the nozzle body 300, and a bidet cleaning 340 is provided at the rear end side of the butt cleaning jet 320. ing.
 お尻洗浄流路310は、ノズル本体300の後端部から先端部近傍まで、ノズル本体300の軸心と略平行に延びるように形成されている。お尻洗浄流路310の途中には、変速部323が設けられている。そして、お尻洗浄流路310の下流端は、噴出流路312を介して、お尻洗浄噴出口320に接続されている。なお、本実施の形態1では、お尻洗浄流路310は、通流断面が略円状に形成されていて、直径が約3.0~3.5mmになるように形成されている。また、本実施の形態1では、変速部323は、屈曲部311と湾曲部313で構成されている。 The buttocks cleaning flow path 310 is formed so as to extend from the rear end portion of the nozzle main body 300 to the vicinity of the front end portion thereof substantially in parallel with the axis of the nozzle main body 300. A transmission unit 323 is provided in the middle of the buttocks cleaning channel 310. The downstream end of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is connected to the buttocks cleaning jet port 320 via the ejection channel 312. In the first embodiment, the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is formed to have a substantially circular cross section and a diameter of about 3.0 to 3.5 mm. In the first embodiment, the transmission unit 323 includes a bent portion 311 and a curved portion 313.
 ここで、図6及び図7を参照しながら、変速部323の形状について詳細に説明する。 Here, the shape of the transmission unit 323 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
 図6及び図7に示すように、屈曲部311は、お尻洗浄流路310における一方の側面側に設けられていて、水平方向から上方に向かって、直角状に屈曲するように形成されている。ここで、直角状とは、70度~100度の範囲で屈曲していることをいう。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the bent portion 311 is provided on one side surface of the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 and is formed to be bent at a right angle from the horizontal direction upward. Yes. Here, the right-angled shape means that it is bent in the range of 70 degrees to 100 degrees.
 また、お尻洗浄流路310の屈曲部311が設けられている部分には、お尻洗浄流路310における他方の側面側に、湾曲部313が設けられている。湾曲部313は、凹状に湾曲している湾曲面を有していて、お尻洗浄流路310を通流する洗浄水を滑らかに、水平方向から上方に通流させるように形成されている。 Further, a curved portion 313 is provided on the other side surface side of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 at a portion where the bent portion 311 of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is provided. The bending portion 313 has a curved surface that is curved in a concave shape, and is formed so that the cleaning water flowing through the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 flows smoothly upward from the horizontal direction.
 これにより、変速部323では、お尻洗浄流路310を通流する洗浄水は、屈曲部311が設けられている一方の側と、湾曲部313が設けられている他方の側で、流速が変わり、洗浄水に旋回成分を付与することができる。 Thereby, in the transmission unit 323, the washing water flowing through the buttocks washing flow path 310 has a flow velocity on one side where the bent portion 311 is provided and on the other side where the curved portion 313 is provided. Instead, a swirl component can be imparted to the wash water.
 なお、本実施の形態1においては、変速部323は、屈曲部311と湾曲部313で構成する形態を採用したが、これに限定されない。変速部323は、お尻洗浄流路310を通流する洗浄水の一部の流速を、他の洗浄水の流速に対して、変えることができればどのような形態であってもよい。例えば、変速部323は、湾曲部313で構成する形態を採用してもよい。 In the first embodiment, the transmission unit 323 employs a configuration including the bent portion 311 and the curved portion 313, but is not limited thereto. The transmission unit 323 may have any form as long as the flow rate of a part of the washing water flowing through the buttocks washing flow channel 310 can be changed with respect to the flow rate of other washing water. For example, the speed change part 323 may adopt a form constituted by the bending part 313.
 また、本実施の形態1においては、屈曲部311と湾曲部313をお尻洗浄流路310の同じ位置(洗浄水の通流方向において、同じ位置)に設ける形態を採用したが、これに限定されない。屈曲部311と湾曲部313をお尻洗浄流路310の異なる位置(洗浄水の通流方向において、異なる位置)に設ける形態を採用してもよい。すなわち、湾曲部313は、屈曲部311の上流側に設けてもよく、屈曲部311の下流側に設けてもよい。この場合、湾曲部313は、凸状に湾曲していてもよく、また、凹状に湾曲していてもよい。 In the first embodiment, the bending portion 311 and the bending portion 313 are provided at the same position (the same position in the washing water flow direction) of the buttocks cleaning flow path 310. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Not. A configuration in which the bent portion 311 and the curved portion 313 are provided at different positions (different positions in the washing water flow direction) of the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 may be adopted. That is, the bending portion 313 may be provided on the upstream side of the bending portion 311 or may be provided on the downstream side of the bending portion 311. In this case, the bending portion 313 may be curved in a convex shape, or may be curved in a concave shape.
 また、図6及び図7に示すように、噴出流路312は、基端部321よりも先端部322の方が、その通流断面積が大きくなるように段状に形成されている。基端部(以下、小孔部という)321は、直径が約1.5~1.7mmの円柱状に形成されていて、先端部(以下、大孔部という)322は、直径が約1.9~2.1mmの円柱状に形成されている。なお、ここでは、噴出流路312は、小孔部321と大孔部322の2段で構成される形態を採用したが、これに限定されない。噴出流路312は、基端部321よりも先端部322の方が、その通流断面積が大きくなるように段状に形成されていればよく、複数段(例えば、小孔部、中孔部、及び大孔部)で構成される形態を採用してもよい。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the ejection flow path 312 is formed in a step shape so that the cross-sectional area of the distal end portion 322 is larger than that of the proximal end portion 321. A base end portion (hereinafter referred to as a small hole portion) 321 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 1.5 to 1.7 mm, and a distal end portion (hereinafter referred to as a large hole portion) 322 has a diameter of about 1 It is formed in a cylindrical shape of 9 to 2.1 mm. In addition, although the ejection flow path 312 employ | adopted the form comprised by 2 steps | paragraphs of the small hole part 321 and the large hole part 322 here, it is not limited to this. The ejection channel 312 may be formed in a stepped shape so that the front end portion 322 has a larger flow cross-sectional area than the base end portion 321, and may have a plurality of steps (for example, small hole portions, medium holes). Part and large hole part) may be adopted.
 噴出流路312は、その軸心がお尻洗浄流路310の軸心に対して、ノズル本体300の後端側に約7度傾斜するように設けられている。噴出流路312の軸心は、お尻洗浄噴出口320から噴出する洗浄水を脈動感の強い振動流(噴流)にする観点から、お尻洗浄流路310の軸心に対して、ノズル本体300の後端側に5度以上に傾斜していることが好ましい。また、噴出流路312の軸心は、お尻洗浄噴出口320から噴出する洗浄水を使用者の局部に当たるようにする観点から、お尻洗浄流路310の軸心に対して、ノズル本体300の後端側に20度以下に傾斜していることが好ましい。 The ejection channel 312 is provided such that its axis is inclined about 7 degrees toward the rear end side of the nozzle body 300 with respect to the axis of the buttocks cleaning channel 310. The axial center of the ejection channel 312 is a nozzle main body with respect to the axial center of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 from the viewpoint of making the cleaning water ejected from the buttocks cleaning nozzle 320 into an oscillating flow (jet) having a strong pulsation feeling. It is preferable to incline to the rear end side of 300 by 5 degrees or more. Further, the axis of the ejection channel 312 has a nozzle body 300 with respect to the axis of the buttocks cleaning channel 310 from the viewpoint of allowing the washing water ejected from the buttocks cleaning nozzle 320 to hit the local area of the user. It is preferable to incline to the rear end side by 20 degrees or less.
 これにより、洗浄水は小孔部321の後端側の壁面で剥離しやすくなるとともに先端側で付着しやすくなる。このため、水流のバランスを崩すことができ、振動流をより発生しやすくすることができる。 This makes it easy for the cleaning water to be peeled off at the wall surface on the rear end side of the small hole portion 321 and to adhere to the tip end side. For this reason, the balance of the water flow can be broken, and the vibration flow can be more easily generated.
 また、噴出流路312の小孔部321と大孔部322で形成される角の部分は、略直角に切り立ったエッジ形状で形成されている。これにより、噴出流路312の小孔部321と大孔部322で形成される角の部分で渦が発生し、流れの剥離が起こりやすくなる。すなわち、小孔部321から大孔部322に噴出した洗浄水の一部が、大孔部322の側壁に付着し、洗浄水の他の一部は、大孔部322の側壁から剥離し、圧力差が生じて、圧力変動が起きる。このため、大孔部322を通流する洗浄水の振動の振幅をより増大させることができる。 Further, the corner portion formed by the small hole portion 321 and the large hole portion 322 of the ejection flow channel 312 is formed in an edge shape that stands substantially at a right angle. As a result, vortices are generated at the corners formed by the small hole portion 321 and the large hole portion 322 of the ejection flow path 312, and flow separation is likely to occur. That is, a part of the cleaning water ejected from the small hole part 321 to the large hole part 322 adheres to the side wall of the large hole part 322, and the other part of the cleaning water peels from the side wall of the large hole part 322, Pressure difference occurs and pressure fluctuation occurs. For this reason, the amplitude of the vibration of the washing water flowing through the large hole portion 322 can be further increased.
 そして、お尻洗浄流路310と噴出流路312の小孔部321との接続部分には、段差部314が形成されている。すなわち、お尻洗浄流路310の直径に比べて、小孔部321の直径が小さいため、お尻洗浄流路310と小孔部321との接続部分に段差が形成され、当該部分が段差部314を構成する。 Further, a stepped portion 314 is formed at a connection portion between the buttocks cleaning channel 310 and the small hole 321 of the ejection channel 312. That is, since the diameter of the small hole portion 321 is smaller than the diameter of the buttocks cleaning flow path 310, a step is formed at the connection portion between the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 and the small hole portion 321. 314 is configured.
 段差部314の外方には、圧力連通路317が設けられている。圧力連通路317は、ノズル本体基材301とノズル蓋部材302との隙間で形成されていて、噴出流路312を囲むように形成されている。本実施の形態1においては、圧力連通路317は、間隙315と圧力連通室316で構成されている。 A pressure communication passage 317 is provided outside the step portion 314. The pressure communication path 317 is formed by a gap between the nozzle body base material 301 and the nozzle lid member 302 and is formed so as to surround the ejection flow path 312. In the first embodiment, the pressure communication path 317 includes a gap 315 and a pressure communication chamber 316.
 間隙315は、その基端(上流端)が、お尻洗浄流路310と連通するように形成されていて、噴出流路312の外周に沿って、環状に形成されている。すなわち、本実施の形態1においては、間隙315が、お尻洗浄流路310と連通するように設けられた少なくとも2つの対向する間隙と、該少なくとも2つの対向する間隙を連通するように設けられた連通路と、を兼ねている。また、圧力連通室316は、間隙315の終端(下流端)と連通していて、環状に形成されている。なお、本実施の形態1においては、圧力連通室316は、その体積が、間隙315よりも大きくなるように構成されている。 The gap 315 is formed so that the base end (upstream end) thereof communicates with the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 and is formed in an annular shape along the outer periphery of the ejection flow path 312. That is, in the first embodiment, the gap 315 is provided so as to communicate with at least two opposed gaps provided so as to communicate with the buttocks washing flow path 310 and the at least two opposed gaps. It also serves as a communication passage. Further, the pressure communication chamber 316 communicates with the terminal end (downstream end) of the gap 315 and is formed in an annular shape. In the first embodiment, the pressure communication chamber 316 is configured so that its volume is larger than the gap 315.
 これにより、お尻洗浄流路310から段差部314の特定の箇所に加えられた高い圧力は、圧力連通路317を介して段差部314の前記特定箇所とは異なる箇所(ここでは、対向する箇所)に伝えられ、その部分の圧力を高めることができる。なお、後述するように、圧力連通路317は、お尻洗浄流路310と連通するように設けられた、少なくとも2つの間隙と、該少なくとも2つの間隙を連通するように設けられた連通路と、を有していればよく、種々の形態を採用することができる。 Thereby, the high pressure applied to the specific part of the step part 314 from the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is different from the specific part of the step part 314 via the pressure communication path 317 (here, the opposite part). ) To increase the pressure in that part. As will be described later, the pressure communication path 317 includes at least two gaps provided so as to communicate with the buttocks washing flow path 310, and a communication path provided so as to communicate the at least two gaps. As long as it has, it is possible to adopt various forms.
 図6に示すように、ビデ洗浄流路330はノズル本体300の後端部から先端部近傍まで約3.0~3.5mmの流路径でノズル本体300の軸心と略平行に配設されている。ビデ洗浄流路330の途中には、流路径をφ1.0~1.5mm程度まで絞ったオリフィス331が設けられていて、その先端部は、ビデ洗浄噴出口340の下方に配設されている水室332に接続されている。水室332には、ビデ噴出流路341が接続されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the bidet cleaning flow path 330 is disposed approximately parallel to the axis of the nozzle body 300 with a flow path diameter of about 3.0 to 3.5 mm from the rear end of the nozzle body 300 to the vicinity of the front end. ing. In the middle of the bidet cleaning channel 330, an orifice 331 having a channel diameter reduced to about φ1.0 to 1.5 mm is provided, and its tip is disposed below the bidet cleaning nozzle 340. It is connected to the water chamber 332. A bidet ejection flow path 341 is connected to the water chamber 332.
 水室332は、ビデ洗浄流路330より広い断面積を有し、その先端側は上方に湾曲する湾曲面で形成されている。これにより、ビデ洗浄流路330から流入した洗浄水は、水室332内で流速を落として、洗浄水が有する脈動成分を低減させた状態で、湾曲面に沿って、ビデ噴出流路341に流入する。 The water chamber 332 has a wider cross-sectional area than the bidet cleaning flow path 330, and the tip side thereof is formed with a curved surface that curves upward. As a result, the wash water flowing in from the bidet washing flow path 330 reduces the flow velocity in the water chamber 332 and reduces the pulsation component of the wash water to the bidet ejection flow path 341 along the curved surface. Inflow.
 ビデ噴出流路341は、その基端が水室332に接続されていて、その終端がビデ洗浄噴出口340を形成する。ビデ噴出流路341は、基端が直径約1.8mmの円筒状に形成されていて、テーパー状に形成されている(全周に亘り小さな局面が形成されている)。また、ビデ噴出流路341は、その途中から終端に向かって、拡がるように(その断面積が大きくなるように)形成されている。これにより、水室332からビデ噴出流路341に流入する洗浄水を滑らかに安定して流入させるとともに、脈動成分の少ない洗浄水をビデ洗浄噴出口340から噴出することができる。 The base end of the bidet ejection flow path 341 is connected to the water chamber 332, and the end of the bidet ejection flow path 341 forms a bidet cleaning jet outlet 340. The bidet ejection flow path 341 has a base end formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 1.8 mm, and is formed in a tapered shape (a small aspect is formed over the entire circumference). In addition, the bidet ejection flow path 341 is formed so as to expand from the middle toward the end thereof (so that the cross-sectional area thereof increases). Accordingly, the washing water flowing from the water chamber 332 into the bidet ejection flow path 341 can be smoothly and stably caused to flow, and the washing water with less pulsating component can be ejected from the bidet washing ejection port 340.

 次に、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100及びそれを備える衛生洗浄装置10の動作について、図1乃至図4を参照しながら説明する。
<4> Operations of Nozzle Device and Sanitary Washing Device Next, operations of the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary washing device 10 including the nozzle device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
 まず、図2に示すように、ノズルカバー400は、ノズルガイド111の最も後部に位置し、ノズル本体300も摺動範囲の最も後部に位置している。この位置を収納位置と称し、この状態を収納状態と称する。このとき、ノズルカバー400の噴出開口411はノズル本体300のビデ洗浄噴出口340と重なった状態になっている。 First, as shown in FIG. 2, the nozzle cover 400 is located at the rearmost part of the nozzle guide 111, and the nozzle body 300 is also located at the rearmost part of the sliding range. This position is referred to as a storage position, and this state is referred to as a storage state. At this time, the ejection opening 411 of the nozzle cover 400 is in a state of overlapping with the bidet cleaning ejection port 340 of the nozzle body 300.
 収納状態から洗浄を開始する際には、まず、使用者が衛生洗浄装置10のリモートコントローラ60を操作することにより、本体20の制御手段が制御を開始する。なお、衛生洗浄装置10を便器70に設置して、最初に本体20の制御手段が、ノズル装置100を作動させる場合、以下のようにして、ノズルカバー400の位置制御を行う。 When starting the cleaning from the storage state, first, the user operates the remote controller 60 of the sanitary cleaning device 10 so that the control means of the main body 20 starts the control. When the sanitary washing device 10 is installed in the toilet 70 and the control unit of the main body 20 first operates the nozzle device 100, the position of the nozzle cover 400 is controlled as follows.
 すなわち、本体20の制御手段が、駆動モータ114を駆動させる。すると、駆動モータ114の回転が、複数の変速ギアを介して、ピニオンギア115に伝えられることにより、ピニオンギア115と噛み合ったラック421を有するノズルカバー400を後方に移動させようとする。しかしながら、ノズルカバー400は、収納位置に位置しているため、これ以上後方に移動できず、ノズルカバー400の前後方向の位置は変化しない。そこで、本体20の制御手段は、この位置を原点として記憶し、駆動モータ114の回転数を回転数検知センサで検知することで、ノズルカバー400の移動量を推定することで、ノズルカバー400の位置制御を行う。 That is, the control means of the main body 20 drives the drive motor 114. Then, the rotation of the drive motor 114 is transmitted to the pinion gear 115 via a plurality of transmission gears, thereby moving the nozzle cover 400 having the rack 421 engaged with the pinion gear 115 backward. However, since the nozzle cover 400 is located at the storage position, the nozzle cover 400 cannot move further forward, and the position of the nozzle cover 400 in the front-rear direction does not change. Therefore, the control means of the main body 20 stores this position as the origin, and detects the rotational speed of the drive motor 114 with the rotational speed detection sensor, thereby estimating the movement amount of the nozzle cover 400, thereby Perform position control.
 次に、本体20の制御手段は、駆動モータ114を逆回転させて、ノズルカバー400を前方に移動させる。このとき、ノズル本体300は連結手段500によって、ノズルカバー400に牽引され、一体化した状態で前方に移動する。 Next, the control means of the main body 20 rotates the drive motor 114 in the reverse direction to move the nozzle cover 400 forward. At this time, the nozzle body 300 is pulled by the nozzle cover 400 by the connecting means 500 and moves forward in an integrated state.
 ここで、使用者の操作がビデ洗浄の操作であった場合には、本体20の制御手段は、予め設定された制御シーケンスに従って、駆動モータ114の回転数が設定値に達すると、駆動モータ114を停止させる。これにより、前方に移動したノズルカバー400及びノズル本体300は、予め設定された所定の位置で停止する。なお、この状態において、ビデ洗浄噴出口340は噴出開口411の略中央に位置しており、この位置が、ビデ洗浄位置となる。また、この状態においては、噴出開口411の縁部がビデ洗浄噴出口340を隠蔽することはない。 Here, when the user's operation is a bidet cleaning operation, the control means of the main body 20 follows the control sequence set in advance, and when the rotational speed of the drive motor 114 reaches a set value, the drive motor 114 Stop. As a result, the nozzle cover 400 and the nozzle body 300 moved forward stop at a predetermined position set in advance. In this state, the bidet cleaning jet outlet 340 is located substantially at the center of the ejection opening 411, and this position is the bidet cleaning position. Further, in this state, the edge of the ejection opening 411 does not cover the bidet cleaning ejection port 340.
 次に、制御手段は、洗浄水供給手段を制御し、ビデ洗浄流路330に通水させることでビデ洗浄が開始される。ビデ洗浄噴出口340から噴出した洗浄水は、噴出開口411を通過して噴射される。なお、洗浄流路の切り替え及び流量の調節は、洗浄水供給手段によって行われる。 Next, the control means controls the cleaning water supply means and causes the bidet cleaning flow path 330 to pass through the bidet cleaning. The washing water ejected from the bidet washing ejection port 340 passes through the ejection opening 411 and is ejected. The switching of the cleaning channel and the adjustment of the flow rate are performed by the cleaning water supply means.
 洗浄水供給手段より供給された脈動を伴う洗浄水は、洗浄水供給口339を介してビデ洗浄流路330に流入し、ビデ洗浄流路330からオリフィス331を通過して水室332に流入する。この間、オリフィス331を通過した直後と水室332に流入した直後に洗浄水は流速が遅くなるとともに、洗浄水に渦流が発生し撹拌される。これにより、洗浄水の脈動感を低減させることができる。 Wash water with pulsation supplied from the cleaning water supply means flows into the bidet cleaning flow path 330 through the cleaning water supply port 339, passes through the orifice 331 from the bidet cleaning flow path 330, and flows into the water chamber 332. . During this time, immediately after passing through the orifice 331 and immediately after flowing into the water chamber 332, the flow rate of the cleaning water becomes slow, and a vortex is generated in the cleaning water and stirred. Thereby, the pulsation feeling of washing water can be reduced.
 水室332からビデ噴出流路341に流入する洗浄水は、ビデ噴出流路341の基端部に設けられている局面により、安定して流入される。ビデ噴出流路341に流入した洗浄水は、該ビデ噴出流路341を通流して、ビデ洗浄噴出口340から噴出される。このとき、ビデ噴出流路341がその途中から終端に向かって、拡がるように形成されているため、ビデ洗浄噴出口340から脈動成分の少ない洗浄水を噴出することができ、柔らかな洗浄感を提供できる。なお、お尻洗浄噴出口320はノズルカバー本体410によって覆われている状態であり、ビデ洗浄によって生じた汚水が直接かからないため、清潔に保つことができる。 The washing water flowing from the water chamber 332 into the bidet ejection flow path 341 is stably flowed in due to the situation provided at the base end of the bidet ejection flow path 341. The washing water that has flowed into the bidet ejection channel 341 flows through the bidet ejection channel 341 and is ejected from the bidet washing nozzle 340. At this time, since the bidet ejection flow path 341 is formed so as to expand from the middle toward the end, washing water with less pulsating component can be ejected from the bidet washing ejection port 340, and a soft washing feeling can be obtained. Can be provided. Note that the buttocks cleaning jet 320 is covered with the nozzle cover main body 410 and the sewage generated by the bidet cleaning is not directly applied, so that it can be kept clean.
 そして、使用者が、ビデ洗浄の停止を操作すると、本体20の制御手段は、駆動モータ114を順回転させて、ノズルカバー400及びノズル本体300を後方へ移動させ、元の収納位置に戻す。 Then, when the user operates to stop the bidet cleaning, the control means of the main body 20 rotates the drive motor 114 forward, moves the nozzle cover 400 and the nozzle main body 300 rearward, and returns them to the original storage position.
 一方、使用者がお尻洗浄を選択した場合には、本体20の制御手段は、ビデ洗浄と同様に、ノズルカバー400の原点位置を確認した後、前方へ移動するように駆動モータ114を回転させ、ノズルカバー400とノズル本体300を前方に移動させる。そして、本体20の制御手段は、ビデ洗浄位置を越えてさらにノズルカバー400を前方に移動するように、駆動モータ114を制御する。 On the other hand, when the user selects the butt cleaning, the control unit of the main body 20 rotates the drive motor 114 so as to move forward after confirming the origin position of the nozzle cover 400, as in the bidet cleaning. The nozzle cover 400 and the nozzle body 300 are moved forward. Then, the control means of the main body 20 controls the drive motor 114 so as to move the nozzle cover 400 further forward beyond the bidet cleaning position.
 このとき、ノズル本体300は、ノズルガイド111に設けられている前ストッパ(図示せず)に当接し、ノズル本体300は、これ以上前に移動することが規制される。ノズルカバー400がさらに前方に移動すると、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400の連結手段500による連結が外れて、ノズルカバー400だけが前方に移動する。そして、本体20の制御手段は、噴出開口411がお尻洗浄噴出口320と重なる位置にまで、ノズルカバー400が前方に移動すると、駆動モータ114を停止させる。なお、この状態において、お尻洗浄噴出口320は噴出開口411の略中央に位置しており、この位置がお尻洗浄位置となる。 At this time, the nozzle body 300 abuts on a front stopper (not shown) provided on the nozzle guide 111, and the nozzle body 300 is restricted from moving further forward. When the nozzle cover 400 moves further forward, the connection between the nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 by the connecting means 500 is released, and only the nozzle cover 400 moves forward. Then, the control means of the main body 20 stops the drive motor 114 when the nozzle cover 400 moves forward to a position where the ejection opening 411 overlaps the buttocks cleaning ejection port 320. In this state, the buttocks cleaning jet outlet 320 is located substantially at the center of the ejection opening 411, and this position is the buttocks cleaning position.
 上記お尻洗浄位置にノズルカバー400が到達した時点で、制御手段は、洗浄水供給手段を制御し、お尻洗浄水供給口319を介してお尻洗浄流路310に通水させることでお尻洗浄が開始される。お尻洗浄噴出口320から噴出した洗浄水は、噴出開口411に直接接触することなく通過して噴射される。なお、洗浄流路の切り替え及び流量の調節は、洗浄水供給手段によって行われる。また、ビデ洗浄噴出口340の上方は、ノズルカバー本体410によって覆われているため、お尻洗浄によって生じた汚水がビデ洗浄噴出口340に直接かからない。このため、ビデ洗浄噴出口340は清潔に保たれる。 When the nozzle cover 400 reaches the buttocks cleaning position, the control means controls the cleaning water supply means and allows water to flow through the buttocks cleaning flow path 310 via the buttocks cleaning water supply port 319. Butt washing is started. The washing water ejected from the buttocks washing ejection port 320 passes through and is ejected without directly contacting the ejection opening 411. The switching of the cleaning channel and the adjustment of the flow rate are performed by the cleaning water supply means. Moreover, since the upper part of the bidet washing | cleaning jet nozzle 340 is covered with the nozzle cover main body 410, the sewage produced by the buttocks washing does not directly hit the bidet washing jet nozzle 340. For this reason, the bidet washing spout 340 is kept clean.
 そして、使用者が、お尻洗浄の停止を操作すると、本体20の制御手段は、駆動モータ114を順回転させて、ノズルカバー400を後方へ移動させる。このとき、ノズルカバー400は、連結手段500により、再びノズル本体300と連結して、ノズルカバー400はノズル本体300とともに、後方へ移動する。そして、ノズル本体300の後端が、ノズルガイド111の後部に設けられている後ストッパ(図示せず)に当接することで、ノズル本体300はこれ以上後に移動することを規制される。 When the user operates to stop the buttocks cleaning, the control means of the main body 20 rotates the drive motor 114 in the forward direction to move the nozzle cover 400 backward. At this time, the nozzle cover 400 is again connected to the nozzle body 300 by the connecting means 500, and the nozzle cover 400 moves rearward together with the nozzle body 300. The rear end of the nozzle body 300 abuts on a rear stopper (not shown) provided at the rear portion of the nozzle guide 111, so that the nozzle body 300 is restricted from moving further.
 ノズルカバー400がさらに後方に移動すると、連結手段500によるノズル本体300との連結が外れ、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400は分離された状態となる。これにより、後ストッパによって移動を規制されたノズル本体300に対して、噴出開口411がビデ洗浄噴出口340と重なる位置(収納位置)にまで、ノズルカバー400だけが後方に移動する。本体20の制御手段は、ノズルカバー400が収納位置にまで、後退すると、駆動モータ114を停止させる。 When the nozzle cover 400 further moves rearward, the connection with the nozzle body 300 is disconnected by the connecting means 500, and the nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 are separated. Thereby, only the nozzle cover 400 moves backward to the position (storage position) where the ejection opening 411 overlaps the bidet cleaning ejection port 340 with respect to the nozzle body 300 whose movement is restricted by the rear stopper. The control means of the main body 20 stops the drive motor 114 when the nozzle cover 400 is retracted to the storage position.
 <5>ノズル装置及び衛生洗浄装置の作用
 次に、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100及びそれを備える衛生洗浄装置10の作用について、図6、図7、図8(a)、及び図8(b)を参照しながら説明する。
<5> Operation of Nozzle Device and Sanitary Washing Device Next, with respect to the operation of the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary washing device 10 including the nozzle device 100, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG.
 図8(a)は、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置におけるお尻噴出口の振動作用を説明する模式図であり、図8(b)は、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置における圧力連通路の連通作用を説明する模式図である。なお、図8(a)及び図8(b)において、間隙315及び圧力連通室316にハッチングを付している。 FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram for explaining the vibration action of the buttocks outlet in the nozzle device according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 8B is a pressure in the nozzle device according to the first embodiment. It is a schematic diagram explaining the communication effect | action of a communicating path. In FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, the gap 315 and the pressure communication chamber 316 are hatched.
 まず、お尻洗浄流路310に流入した洗浄水は、該お尻洗浄流路310を通流する間に、変速部323で、旋回成分が付与される(図6及び図7参照)。旋回成分が付与された洗浄水は、屈曲部311及び湾曲部313で、水平方向から上方へ通流方向が変化する。 First, the cleaning water that has flowed into the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is given a swirl component by the transmission unit 323 while flowing through the buttocks cleaning channel 310 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The washing water to which the swirl component is given changes the flow direction from the horizontal direction to the upper side at the bent portion 311 and the curved portion 313.
 次に、上方に向かって通流する洗浄水は、図8(a)の矢印Aに示すように、噴出流路312へ流入するが、お尻洗浄流路310より噴出流路312の小孔部321の通流面積が小さいため、段差部314の全周に亘り渦が発生する。このとき、発生する渦は一様ではなく、流れの噴出流路への付着状態により、段差部314に生ずる渦の強度分布が発生し、この結果、圧力分布が、段差部314の周方向に発生する。 Next, the washing water flowing upward flows into the ejection channel 312 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. 8A, but the small holes of the ejection channel 312 from the buttocks washing channel 310. Since the flow area of the portion 321 is small, a vortex is generated over the entire circumference of the step portion 314. At this time, the generated vortex is not uniform, and the strength distribution of the vortex generated in the step portion 314 is generated due to the state of the flow adhering to the ejection flow path. As a result, the pressure distribution is increased in the circumferential direction of the step portion 314. appear.
 本実施の形態1では、特に、噴出流路312を後端側に傾斜させているため、後端側の渦Bが強くなり、先端側の渦Bは弱くなる。このため、噴出流路312の後端側の圧力が高くなり、先端側の圧力が低くなる。これにより、小孔部321に流入した洗浄水は、後端側が小孔部321を形成する壁面より剥離した流れ(矢印C)となり、先端側が、小孔部321を形成する壁面に付着した流れ(矢印D)となる。 In the first embodiment, in particular, since the ejection flow path 312 is inclined toward the rear end side, the rear end side vortex B becomes stronger and the front end side vortex B becomes weaker. For this reason, the pressure on the rear end side of the ejection flow path 312 increases, and the pressure on the front end side decreases. As a result, the cleaning water that has flowed into the small hole portion 321 becomes a flow (arrow C) where the rear end side is peeled off from the wall surface forming the small hole portion 321, and the flow where the front end side adheres to the wall surface forming the small hole portion 321. (Arrow D).
 このとき、段差部314の後端側と先端側の間で圧力差が発生したことにより、後端側の高い圧力は、間隙315を介して、圧力連通室316へ伝わる。圧力連通室316に伝わった高い圧力は、該圧力連通室316内で、矢印Eで示す方向の2次流により伝搬される(図8(b)参照)。圧力連通室316内の先端側まで伝搬された高い圧力は、間隙315を介して、先端側の渦B’に伝わり、渦B’の圧力が高くなる。そして、先端側の渦B’の圧力が高くなり、後端側の渦Bの圧力が低くなることにより、小孔部321における先端側の流れが、小孔部321を形成する壁面から剥離し、後端側の流れが、小孔部321を形成する壁面に付着する流れとなる。 At this time, since a pressure difference is generated between the rear end side and the front end side of the stepped portion 314, a high pressure on the rear end side is transmitted to the pressure communication chamber 316 through the gap 315. The high pressure transmitted to the pressure communication chamber 316 is propagated by the secondary flow in the direction indicated by the arrow E in the pressure communication chamber 316 (see FIG. 8B). The high pressure propagated to the tip side in the pressure communication chamber 316 is transmitted to the tip side vortex B 'via the gap 315, and the pressure of the vortex B' becomes high. Then, the pressure of the vortex B ′ on the front end side increases and the pressure of the vortex B on the rear end side decreases, so that the flow on the front end side in the small hole portion 321 is separated from the wall surface forming the small hole portion 321. The flow on the rear end side is a flow that adheres to the wall surface forming the small hole portion 321.
 このように、流れの剥離と付着が入れ替わることにより、段差部314近傍の渦の発生及び圧力も変化し、今度は先端側の高い圧力が、間隙315と圧力連通室316からなる圧力連通路317を介して、矢印Fで示す方向の2次流により後端側に伝搬される(図8(b)参照)。 As described above, the separation and adhesion of the flow are switched, and the generation and pressure of the vortex in the vicinity of the stepped portion 314 are also changed. This time, the high pressure on the tip side is changed to the pressure communication path 317 including the gap 315 and the pressure communication chamber 316. Is transmitted to the rear end side by the secondary flow in the direction indicated by the arrow F (see FIG. 8B).
 このような先端側と後端側で、付着と剥離を交互に発生し、この動作が繰り返されることにより、洗浄水は振動流となり、洗浄範囲が広くなるとともに、高速に前後方向にスイッチングされることにより、分断されて脈動状態となる。 Such adhesion and separation are alternately generated on the front end side and the rear end side, and this operation is repeated, so that the cleaning water becomes an oscillating flow, the cleaning range is widened, and the front-rear direction is switched at high speed. As a result, it is divided into a pulsating state.
 そして、小孔部321から大孔部322に洗浄水が流入するとき、小孔部321と大孔部322で形成される角の部分が、略直角に切り立ったエッジ形状で形成されているため、当該部分近傍で、さらに渦を発生する(図8(a)参照)。これにより、小孔部321におきて、洗浄水の圧力変動をさらに大きく増幅することができ、お尻洗浄噴出口320から噴出する噴流はより強い脈動が付される。このため、洗浄力が高まるとともに人体に強い洗浄であるという感覚が生じる。 When the cleaning water flows from the small hole portion 321 into the large hole portion 322, the corner portion formed by the small hole portion 321 and the large hole portion 322 is formed in an edge shape that is substantially perpendicular. Further, a vortex is further generated in the vicinity of the portion (see FIG. 8A). Thereby, it is possible to further amplify the pressure fluctuation of the washing water in the small hole portion 321, and the jet flow ejected from the buttocks washing ejection port 320 is given a stronger pulsation. For this reason, the feeling that it is washing | cleaning strong against a human body arises while cleaning power increases.
 このように、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100とそれを備える衛生洗浄装置10では、複数の噴出口を有するノズル本体300であっても、噴出開口411が1個で済み、汚れの付着しやすい箇所が最小限となるので、清潔性を向上させることができる。また、未使用側の噴出口は、ノズルカバー400により覆われているため、洗浄により汚れた洗浄水でノズル本体300が汚染されることがなく、衛生面を向上させることができる。しかも、噴出開口411が必要最小限のため、見栄えもすっきりとし、ノズルカバー400も簡単な構成となるため、低コスト化を図ることができる。 As described above, in the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary washing device 10 including the nozzle device 100, even the nozzle body 300 having a plurality of jet ports needs only one jet opening 411, and dirt is attached. Cleanliness can be improved because the number of parts that are easy to do is minimized. Further, since the unused outlet is covered with the nozzle cover 400, the nozzle main body 300 is not contaminated with the cleaning water soiled by the cleaning, and the hygiene can be improved. Moreover, since the ejection opening 411 is the minimum necessary, the appearance is neat and the nozzle cover 400 has a simple configuration, so that the cost can be reduced.
 また、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100及びそれを備える衛生洗浄装置10では、ノズル本体300とノズルカバー400は連結手段500を介して連動し、相対位置を切り替えることができる構成となっているため、1個のノズル駆動手段113で2個の駆動対象をそれぞれの最適位置まで駆動でき、装置の小型化と低コスト化を図ることができる。 Further, in the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary washing device 10 including the same, the nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400 are interlocked via the connecting means 500, and the relative position can be switched. Therefore, the two nozzles can be driven to the optimum positions by one nozzle driving means 113, and the apparatus can be reduced in size and cost.
 さらに、本実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100及びそれを備える衛生洗浄装置10では、ノズル装置100の先端部を段差部314と圧力連通路317で構成することにより、シンプルな構成とすることができ、小型化を図ることができるとともに、お尻洗浄噴出口320から噴出される洗浄水に強い脈動噴出される洗浄水を脈動感の強い振動流(噴流)にすることができ、使用者の皮膚感覚への刺激を繰り返し行うことで、使用者に強い洗浄であるという感覚を生じさせることができる。 Furthermore, in the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment and the sanitary washing device 10 including the nozzle device 100, the tip portion of the nozzle device 100 is configured by the step portion 314 and the pressure communication path 317, thereby providing a simple configuration. In addition to being able to reduce the size, the washing water ejected from the buttocks washing ejection port 320 can be made into a vibration wave (jet) having a strong pulsation feeling. By repeatedly stimulating the skin sensation, it is possible to cause the user to feel strong washing.
 なお、本実施の形態1においては、お尻洗浄流路310を形成する壁面の全周に亘って間隙315を設ける形態を採用したが、これに限るものではなく、小孔部に少なくとも2カ所に設ければよい。 In the first embodiment, a configuration in which the gap 315 is provided over the entire circumference of the wall surface forming the buttocks cleaning channel 310 is not limited to this, and at least two locations are provided in the small hole portion. Should be provided.
 また、本実施の形態1においては、ノズルユニット200はノズル本体300とノズルカバー400の2個の構成部品で構成したが、これに限るものではなく、ノズル本体300のみで構成してもよい。 In the first embodiment, the nozzle unit 200 is composed of two components, ie, the nozzle body 300 and the nozzle cover 400. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the nozzle unit 200 may be composed of only the nozzle body 300.
 また、本実施の形態1においては、ノズル本体300には、お尻洗浄の機能とビデ洗浄の機能の2つの機能を備えた構成としたが、これに限るものではなく、お尻洗浄またはビデ洗浄の単独の機能のみを備えた構成でもよい。 In the first embodiment, the nozzle body 300 is configured to have two functions of the buttocks cleaning function and the bidet cleaning function. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A configuration having only a single cleaning function may be used.
 さらに、本実施の形態1においては、ノズル装置100に段差部314、圧力連通路317、変速部323、噴出流路312を傾斜させ、及び噴出流路312を小孔部321と大孔部322で段状に形成する形態を採用したが、これに限定されず、ノズル装置100に段差部314と圧力連通路317が形成されていればよく、他の構成要素を追加するか否かは任意である。 Further, in the first embodiment, the stepped portion 314, the pressure communication passage 317, the speed change portion 323, and the ejection flow channel 312 are inclined in the nozzle device 100, and the ejection flow channel 312 is made to have a small hole portion 321 and a large hole portion 322. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary to form the step portion 314 and the pressure communication path 317 in the nozzle device 100, and whether or not to add other components is arbitrary. It is.

 図9に示すように、本実施の形態1における変形例1のノズル装置100は、実施の形態1に係るノズル装置100と基本的構成は同じであるが、噴出流路312が、段状に形成されていない点が異なる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the basic configuration of the nozzle device 100 according to the first modification of the first embodiment is the same as that of the nozzle device 100 according to the first embodiment, but the ejection flow path 312 is stepped. The difference is that it is not formed.
