- the front wall of the front tank 611 includes an inclined portion that retreats from the middle. That is, as shown in FIG.
- the shape when viewed from the side is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape (including a trapezoidal shape) in which the upper part is thinner than the lower part.
- the upper cross-sectional area of the tank body 610 is smaller than the lower cross-sectional area.
- a water inlet 601 is provided at the lower part of one side wall of the tank body 610, and a water outlet 602 is provided at the lower part of the rear wall of the tank body 610.
- the atmosphere opening portion 613 disposed on the top surface of the tank body 610 is provided with an atmosphere opening port 603 that communicates the inside and the outside of the tank body 610.
- the air release port 603 discharges air accumulated in the tank body 610 to the outside, and maintains the internal pressure of the tank body 610 at atmospheric pressure at all times.
- the inside of the sub tank 600 is always maintained at atmospheric pressure, and the washing water supply flow path 900 from the downstream of the sub tank 600 to the water inlet 516d of the water pump 516 is also maintained at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the water pump 516 can absorb water without being affected by fluctuations in water pressure. As a result, the water pump 516 can exhibit a stable pump function.
- a buffer portion 613a having a large cross-sectional area of the flow passage is formed in the flow passage communicating with the air release port 603 of the air release portion 613 in the sub tank 600.
- the buffer unit 613a temporarily stores the cleaning water when, for example, the cleaning water is about to flow out from the atmosphere opening port 603 with bubbles. Thereby, it is suppressed that washing water flows out from the atmosphere opening 603.
- a partition wall 614 is provided inside the tank body 610.
- the partition wall 614 divides the inside of the tank body 610 into two tanks, a water tank 615 and a storage tank 616.
- a water inlet 601 is provided near the bottom of the side surface of the water tank 615, and a water outlet 602 is provided near the bottom of the rear wall of the storage tank 616.

- a plurality of rectifying ribs 618 are formed in the water tank 615 so as to protrude alternately in a substantially horizontal direction (including the horizontal direction) on the side wall and the partition wall 614 of the tank body 610.
- the wash water that has flowed from the water inlet 601 of the sub tank 600 first flows into the lower portion of the water tank 615. Then, the flow in the water tank 615 is raised while the flow direction is changed by the rectifying rib 618. At this time, when the pressure of the washing water flowing in from the water inlet 601 is high, or when the flow is significantly disturbed including a large amount of air, the flow straightening rib 618 rectifies the flow appropriately. Further, the rectifying rib 618 separates air contained in the cleaning water by vortices generated on the downstream side of the rectifying rib 618.
- the wash water from which the air rising in the water entering tank 615 is separated passes over the upper end of the partition wall 614 and flows into the storage tank 616 to be stored. At this time, even if the pressure of the cleaning water flowing in from the water inlet 601 is high or the flow is significantly disturbed including a large amount of air, the upward flow of the cleaning water is suppressed by the barrier 617. Therefore, the washing water hits the atmosphere opening portion 613, and direct outflow from the atmosphere opening port 603 to the outside of the sub tank 600 is prevented.
- the cleaning water that has flowed from the water inlet 601 of the sub tank 600 is separated from the air included in the cleaning water by the rectifying ribs 618 and the like while rising in the water inlet tank 615.
- the separated air is discharged to the outside of the tank body 610 from the atmosphere opening port 603.
- cleaning water that does not contain air is stored in the storage tank 616 and supplied to the heat exchanger 700 from the water outlet 602 of the sub tank 600.
- the sub tank 600 is provided with a partition wall 614 to prevent air from entering. Thereby, damage to the heat exchanger 700 can be effectively prevented.
- the sub tank 600 includes a common electrode 621 that is made of a stainless material and serves as a common electrode, and a plurality of water level electrodes 622 that are installed for each water level.
- a water level detection sensor 620 is provided. In this embodiment, an example in which one common electrode 621 and two water level electrodes 622 are configured is shown.
- the common electrode 621 is disposed on the inner surface of the lower portion of the front wall of the tank body 610, and the water level electrode 622 is disposed on the inner surface of the rear wall of the tank body 610. Further, the water level electrode 622 includes an upper electrode 623 provided at the upper portion and a lower electrode 624 provided at the lower portion. At this time, the common electrode 621 is disposed at a position lower than the lower electrode 624 of the water level electrode 622 and is always immersed in a normal use state.
- the water level of the cleaning water is detected by the water level electrode 622 as follows. First, a direct current is applied between the common electrode 621 and the water level electrode 622. Then, whether or not the water level electrode 622 is submerged is detected by a change in voltage. Thereby, the water level of washing water is detected. That is, when the water level in the storage tank 616 rises, the lower electrode 624 and the upper electrode 623 are submerged. At this time, the voltage between the common electrode 621, the lower electrode 624, and the upper electrode 623 decreases. Thereby, the control part 130 detects the water level of a wash water from the fall of a voltage.
- the upper electrode 623 of the water level electrode 622 is used for detecting the upper limit water level
- the lower electrode 624 is used for detecting the lower limit water level.
- the upper electrode 623 is installed at a position lower than the atmosphere opening 603. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the washing water from flowing out from the atmosphere opening port 603.
- the lower electrode 624 is installed above the water outlet 602 that flows into the heat exchanger 700. Thereby, air can be prevented from flowing into the heat exchanger 700.
- control unit 130 is configured to apply while periodically reversing the polarity of the direct current applied between the common electrode 621 and the water level electrode 622. This is to prevent elution due to oxidation and ionization of the metal forming the electrode by the action of electrolysis that occurs when a direct current is applied between the common electrode 621 and the water level electrode 622 through the wash water. . That is, when a direct current is applied, the water level electrode 622 may deteriorate in a short time. Therefore, the polarity of the current is periodically reversed to suppress the deterioration of the water level electrode 622 due to electrolysis.
- the polarity inversion interval is set to a time corresponding to the AC power supplied as the power for the sanitary washing device. That is, when the supplied AC power supply is 50 Hz, the time is 1/50 seconds, and when the supplied AC power supply is 60 Hz, the time is 1/60 seconds. This eliminates the need to add a new control circuit in order to reverse the polarity, thereby realizing a reduction in size and cost.
- the water stop electromagnetic valve 514 is opened and the washing water is supplied to the sub tank 600. And if the upper limit water level is detected with the water level electrode 622, the water stop solenoid valve 514 will be closed and water supply will be stopped. At this time, the sub tank 600 is filled with water.
- the water level is lowered. Then, when the lower limit water level is detected by the water level electrode 622, the water stop electromagnetic valve 514 is opened again to supply cleaning water to the sub tank 600. Thereby, water supply is continued until the upper limit water level is detected by the water level electrode 622.
- the maximum amount of cleaning water stored in the sub tank 600 is normally 100 cc. Therefore, the amount of water from the upper limit water level to the lower limit water level of the sub tank 600 of the present embodiment is set to 65 cc.
- the flow rate of cleaning water used for cleaning is usually set to 450 cc / min when cleaning with the strongest cleaning power and 260 cc / min when cleaning with the weakest cleaning power. Therefore, the time until the cleaning water reaches the lower limit water level from the upper limit water level is 8.7 seconds when the cleaning is performed with the strongest cleaning power, and 15 seconds when the cleaning water is cleaned with the weakest cleaning power.
- the time required for the user to clean the local area is 30 seconds or more. For this reason, even when washing is performed with the weakest cleaning power, 130 cc of cleaning water is used. That is, in one cleaning operation, the change from the upper limit water level to the lower limit water level can be detected by the water level electrode 622 at least once.
- the control unit 130 measures the elapsed time from the upper limit water level to the lower limit water level, and calculates the measured time and the amount of water (65 cc) from the upper limit water level to the lower limit water level. Then, the flow rate of the cleaning water is calculated. At this time, if there is a difference between the flow rate set for each cleaning strength and the calculated flow rate, the control unit 130 adjusts the output of the water pump 516 to correct the flow rate of the cleaning water.
- the shape of the bottom surface of the sub-tank 600 is described as an example of a substantially square shape, but is not limited thereto.
- other polygonal shapes may be used, and the shape may be changed according to the balance with surrounding parts and the situation of the installation location.
- the common electrode 621 and the water level electrode 622 are described as being installed on the front wall and the rear wall, which are opposing wall surfaces, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
- the common electrode 621 may be installed on the front wall, and the water level electrode 622 may be installed on the top surface.
- the lengths are changed so that the tips of the lower electrode 624 and the upper electrode 623 are at the lower limit water level and the upper limit water level, respectively.
