JP 2001-275737 A JP 2001-145682 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-178882 JP 2006-346415 A

However, in the cleaning device 1 described in Patent Document 1, when the hair washing tool 2 is pressed against the hair, the tips of the comb teeth 3 and 4 hit the head, and between the hair washing tool 2 and the head. There is a gap in the height of the comb teeth, and there is a risk that a large amount of washing water will be discharged to the outside during washing from this gap. Further, each comb tooth 3, 4 provided in the cleaning tool 2 is provided with a discharge hole for discharging the cleaning water and a suction hole for sucking the cleaning water, and the cleaning water is discharged from the discharge hole for cleaning. The cleaning water that has been finished is sucked from the suction hole. For this reason, the direction of the wash water to be discharged and the direction of the wash water to be sucked is not constant, and the wash water may be scattered or dripped to the outside.

In addition, the cleaning devices of Patent Documents 2 to 4 can avoid the cleaning water from flying or dripping to the outside during cleaning, but also have the following problems including those of Patent Document 1 described above.
Among these cleaning apparatuses, the cleaning apparatus described in Patent Document 3 is configured such that the cleaning brush body of the cleaning head rotates on the surface to be cleaned. For this reason, this cleaning apparatus requires a mechanism for rotating the cleaning brush body in the cleaning head, and a driving mechanism for rotating the brush body. The overall structure is complicated and expensive.

In addition, these cleaning devices are different from shower devices that are always installed in bathrooms such as general households, such as objects to be cleaned, such as people and pets, or their cleaning areas (areas), and washing places, etc. Therefore, various specifications are required.

For example, the cleaning device needs to be able to be cleaned with a small amount of cleaning liquid where there is no water supply facility such as tap water, and the cleaning head needs to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing or dripping outside during cleaning. In addition, since this cleaning head is used by directly pressing against the object or region to be cleaned, it is necessary to make it suitable for them. More specifically, since the cleaning head is to be cleaned and directly pressed against the region, for example, the human body, the head or body, the hair is used for the head and the arm is used for the body. In the local area such as the abdomen or the back, each cleaning is diversified into hair, curved surface, flat surface, etc. As a result, the cleaning head is in various areas to be cleaned in each region. Must be compatible.

Also, since such a cleaning head is used by directly pressing it against the head, body, etc., the ones used by others are avoided and are therefore generally for individuals only. As a result, the cleaning head needs to be a target to be cleaned and adapted to each region. Also, as a result of being dedicated to individual use, each head must be individually provided to correspond to various targets or regions to be cleaned. The number increases, their production is cumbersome and the price is high. However, the conventional cleaning head is adapted to this diversification, but lacks a degree of design freedom for commercialization.

In order to solve these problems, the present inventors have repeated trial and error and eagerly searched for it.If the cleaning part that presses against the object to be cleaned is separated from the head main body and a member, the cleaning part becomes the head main body. The present invention has been completed by conceiving that it is possible to provide a cleaning unit that is adapted to various objects or areas to be cleaned and can be designed easily and freely.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the above-described conventional technology and meets the above-mentioned demands, and has the following objects.

An outer peripheral brush ring R _c1 is formed respectively. Circumferences R ₁ to R ₆ represent the outer periphery of a concentric circle (enclosure).

The plurality of suction holes 15 are disposed on the circumferences R ₁ , R ₃ , R ₅ , but are not limited to these positions, and are not limited to these positions, that is, between the plurality of suction brushes. It may be provided. The size, number and interval of the suction holes are determined by the size of the spray / suction body. Further, the number and interval of the plurality of outer peripheral brushes c ₁₁ to c _1n are also determined by the size of the spray / suction body.

These arrangement of the suction holes 15及and the suction brush 16, around the center O, and toward the radial outward direction, a plurality of rings, namely, the first suction Anawa R _a1, the first brush ring R _b1 , second suction hole ring R _a2 , second brush ring R _b2 , third suction hole ring R _a3 , and outer peripheral brush ring R _c3 are formed.

The liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle 14 at the center O by the ring in which the suction holes and the suction brush are connected is first sucked by the first suction hole ring R _a1 after cleaning, and then the first brush ring R. _b1 and second suction Anawa _{R a2,} is further sucked by the second brush ring _{R b2} and third suction Anawa _{R a3.} By these suctions, the sprayed cleaning liquid does not scatter outside and can be prevented from dripping. From the outer peripheral brush ring _Rc3 , outside air is sucked substantially uniformly through the outer peripheral brushes. The number of suction hole rings and brush rings is arbitrarily selected according to the size of the spray / suction body, and the interval between the rings and the interval between the suction holes and the suction brushes in each ring are also arbitrarily set.
Although the spray / suction body 13 described above has a concentric enclosure, the present invention does not limit the enclosure to a concentric circle and can be arbitrarily changed.

Hereinafter, a modified example of the spray / suction body will be described with reference to FIG. 7 shows a modification of the spray / suction body, FIG. 7A is a plan view of Modification 1, FIG. 7B is a plan view of Modification 2, and FIG. 7C is a plan view of Modification 3. These spray / suction bodies are explanatory views drawn in the same manner as the spray / suction body of FIG. 2B.

The spray / suction bodies 13A to 13C according to the modified examples 1 to 3 draw a plurality of similar virtual enclosures having different areas that increase in area as they move away from the center O, and the outer peripheries R ₁ to R of these enclosures ₅ on the arranged plurality of suction holes and the suction brush, also obtained by arranging a plurality of outer peripheral brush along the periphery R _6. The shape of the enclosure is, for example, a polygon, an ellipse, or a circle.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the spray / suction body 13A of Modification 1 draws a plurality of similar virtual enclosures having different areas that increase in area as they move away from the center O, that is, quadrangles. A plurality of flat suction ports and suction brushes are arranged on the outer circumferences R ₁ to R _{5 of the} enclosure (square), and a plurality of outer brushes are arranged along R ₆ . Note that the rectangle may be a rectangle as well as a square.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the spray / suction body 13B of Modification 2 has a polygonal shape such as a hexagon, an octagon, an octagon, and so on.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7C, the spray / suction body 13C of Modification 3 has an oval enclosure shape.
Furthermore, although not shown, a plurality of radiations may be drawn radially from the center O in four directions, and the plurality of suction brushes may be arranged on these radiations at a predetermined interval.
According to these spray / suction bodies, since the suction brush and the like are arranged on the spray / suction body with a predetermined regularity, the same effects as the spray / suction body 13 can be achieved.

Next, the suction holes will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A, 3, and 4.
The suction hole 15 is a through-hole penetrating the spray / suction body 13 and is located between the first brush ring R _b1 and the second brush ring R _b2 and in the outer ring, Absorb hair loss, scalp (red), etc., and discharge it to the outside.

As shown in FIG. 4, these suction holes 15 are formed in the spray / suction body, do not protrude from the spray / suction body 13, and are located closer to the spray / suction body than the suction brush 16. Even if the brush 16 sucks and clogs hair or the like, the cleaning liquid and the air are sucked from the suction hole, so that the trouble due to the clogging of the suction brush 16 can be avoided. In addition, by setting the number, shape, and size of the suction holes to a predetermined value, it is possible to efficiently suck and collect washed liquid, hair loss, scalp (red), and the like. That is, in the case of one large suction port as in the prior art, the cleaning liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle does not reach the space between the heads and is immediately sucked from the large suction port without sufficient convection. Therefore, good cleaning cannot be performed, but this point is improved.

Next, the suction brush will be described with reference to FIGS.
The suction brush 16 includes suction brushes b ₁₁ to b _1n forming the first brush ring R _b1 and suction brushes b ₂₁ to b _2n forming the second brush ring R _b2, which have the same shape. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the suction brush 16 has brush openings 16a and 16b at the upper and lower ends and brush suction holes 16c at the side surfaces, and is formed of a cylindrical body having a predetermined thickness and length. The thickness is preferably 3 mm to 9 mm in diameter and the length (representing the height protruding toward the region to be cleaned) is preferably 15 mm or less. That is, the thickness is not particularly limited, but if the height exceeds 15 mm, the cleaning liquid is likely to be scattered or dripped. The lower limit is 5 to 6 mm. Further, the brush suction holes are not limited to narrow grooves and slits, but may be other shapes such as holes. Since the suction brush 16 has the brush opening 16b at the lower end and the brush suction hole 16c at the side, it is possible to smoothly suck the cleaned liquid, hair loss, and the like from these openings and the suction hole while having a simple configuration. .

The plurality of suction brushes 16, that is, the individual suction brushes b ₁₁ to b _1n and b ₂₂ to b _2n are arranged so that the brush suction holes 16 c face the counterclockwise direction or the clockwise direction on the spray / suction body 13. Is preferably arranged. With this arrangement, during suction, a spiral flow is formed in the counterclockwise direction or clockwise direction, and suction is performed. By this suction, scattering and leakage can be prevented. For example, in the case of head cleaning, when the suction brush hits the scalp, the brush opening 16b is blocked and only the brush suction hole 16c is formed. As a result, the suction force increases and a spiral flow is formed, and the circulation force becomes stronger. These suction brushes may be formed integrally when the spray / suction body 13 is molded, or may be implanted in the spray / suction body 13.

Next, a spray body coupling | bond part is demonstrated with reference to FIG.4, FIG.5, FIG.6.
The spray body coupling | bond part 13d becomes a structure fitted to the opening part 12d (refer FIG. 4).
The spray body fitting portion 13b is elastically deformed so as to be forced into the opening 12d. For this elastic deformation, the spray / suction body 13 is formed of a molded body made of an elastomer resin, etc., and the spray body fitting portion 13b is formed thinner than the inner portion, thereby providing an elastic force capable of repeated deformation. it can. By this fitting, the head body can be detachably coupled with one touch. The detachable coupling is not limited to elastic deformation, and a known detachable coupling means may be used. Further, it is not detachable and may be fixed with an adhesive or the like.

By the way, during the use of the cleaning head, a strong suction force acts on the space 12c of the head body 12 by suction from a suction machine. For this reason, when the entire spray / suction body is formed of silicon or an elastomer resin molded body in order to give an elastic force to the spray body fitting portion 13b, the inside of the spray / suction body 13 is shown in FIG. If it moves up and down as seen from 4, and that happens frequently, the part may be damaged or broken.

In order to avoid such damage, the spray / suction body 13 is reinforced with a reinforcing material, for example, a metal plate having a predetermined thickness. The reinforcing material 13c (see FIG. 6) is embedded in the inner part of the spray / suction body 13, for example, a three-layer structure with a reinforcing material in the middle, or a two-layer structure with a reinforcing material on the lower surface. To do. The reinforcing material 13c has a portion of the suction hole 15 and the suction brush 16 penetrating therethrough. The code | symbol 13a of FIG. 6 has shown the surface of the spraying / suction body 13, and the code | symbol 13b has shown the back surface.

Next, the outer peripheral brush 17 constituting the pressing member will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 3 to 5.
As shown in FIG. 2A, the plurality of outer peripheral brushes 17 are disposed on the outer peripheral brush ring R _c3 , and these outer peripheral brushes c ₁₁ to c _1n have the same shape and have a predetermined thickness and length. The comb teeth or columnar body is formed of an elastomer resin molded body. The thickness may be arbitrary, and the length is the same as or slightly shorter than the suction brush. That is, it may be slightly longer or shorter than the suction brush. If the interval between these outer peripheral brushes is narrow, it becomes difficult to suck the outside air, and if it is widened, there is a possibility that the cleaning liquid may jump out. This gap is preferably about 3.00 mm, for example.

By setting the outer peripheral brush to a predetermined thickness and interval, as shown in FIG. 5A, the outside air is smoothly sucked, while the discharge of the cleaning liquid to the outside is caused by the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the spray / suction body. Can be prevented by using an air flow from the outside.
That is, during use, the cleaning head has a strong suction force acting in the space 12c of the head body 12, and the cleaned liquid and the like are sucked and collected using this suction force. For this reason, it is necessary to suck outside air from between a plurality of outer peripheral brushes, and since there is no intake air, it becomes impossible to suck and collect the washed liquid and the like, so that a predetermined gap is provided between the brushes. In addition, the arrow of FIG. 5A has shown inhalation of external air.

Since the outside air is indispensable even if it is replaced with a sponge body, these sponge bodies 17 'and 17' 'have a plurality of reverse recessed holes (see FIG. 5B) or a plurality of through holes (see FIG. 5B). 5C) are provided and they are used as vent holes. 5B shows a spray / suction body 13 ′ in which the outer peripheral brush is changed to a sponge body, and FIG. 5C shows a similar spray / suction body 13 ″. The arrows in FIGS. 5B and 5C indicate the intake of outside air.

Also, the spray / suction body 13 is preferably formed in a shape that matches the shape of the cleaning portion of the object or region to be cleaned. For example, when the hair is washed, since the head has a generally hemispherical shape, the radius of the hemispherical shape is assumed to be, for example, about 52.7 mm, and a curved dome shape or shape matching the radius is used. The curved shape shown in FIG. 4 has a low ceiling, but when matched to the head, this ceiling is higher (deeper), that is, a shape that is considerably deeply curved from the outer periphery toward the ceiling. (See FIG. 3B).

By adopting this dome shape, when the cleaning head 11 is pressed against the head, the spray / suction body 13 has a high ceiling and a relatively large cleaning space is formed between the head and the head. The cleaning liquid can be circulated efficiently using the space. That is, when the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the spray nozzle 14 on the ceiling, the sprayed water fills up in a mist form in a relatively large cleaning space and convects and circulates in the interior to efficiently clean the cleaning portion. In addition, the cleaned liquid can be efficiently sucked from the suction hole and the suction brush, and the cleaning liquid can be prevented from scattering to the outside. In addition, the shape of the spray / suction body 13 is not limited to the above-described hair washing, and is changed in accordance with other washing objects.

As described above, since the spray / suction body 13 is a separate body / separate member from the head main body 12, the spray / suction body has an arbitrary shape, and the size of the suction hole drilled in the spray / suction body, The shape and number, the selection of the suction brush to be attached, the number of the brushes to be attached, etc. can be arbitrarily changed each time, and can be designed and manufactured according to the mode or region to be cleaned.

Next, the main unit 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 8, and 9. 8 shows a sewage treatment tank, FIG. 8A is a sectional view, FIG. 8B is a sectional view at another angle of FIG. 8A, FIG. 9 shows a modification of the sewage treatment tank, and FIG. 9A is a sectional view of the modification. 9B is a cross-sectional view at another angle, and FIG. 9C is a cross-sectional view showing another modification of the sewage tank.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main unit 20 includes a sewage treatment tank 21 and two liquid supply devices 24A and 24B for supplying two kinds of cleaning liquids, respectively. Septic tank 21 has one end connected to the hose connection 12 ₁ of the head main body 12 through the grip portion 12H of the cleaning head 11 by a connecting hose 19, the other end is connected to the suction device 25, by the suction machine, washing The inside of the head and the inside of the sewage treatment tank are sucked. The suction device 25 is preferably a suction device provided with a known vacuum mechanism. Of course, you may attach the suction machine provided with the vacuum function to the sewage treatment tank. Further, two liquid supply devices 24A, 24B are connected to the spray nozzle 14 in the space portion 12c through the connecting hose 19 _1.

Next, the sewage treatment tank will be described with reference to FIGS.
The sewage treatment tank 21 separates the air sucked from the cleaning head from the cleaned liquid and dust.
As shown in FIG. 8, the sewage treatment tank 21 includes a bottom plate 21a having a predetermined shape and size, a side plate 21b erected at a predetermined height from the periphery of the bottom plate, and a lid plate 21c covering an opening at the upper end of the side plate. the a, inside forms a tank space 21 ₀ of a predetermined size, the inlet 21 ₁ at one end of the cover plate 21c, the outlet 21 ₂ is provided at the other end. Inside of the tank space 21 _0, from the substantially center of the cover plate 21c to the bottom plate 21a, and partitioned by a partition plate 22 which is suspended a predetermined length that does not reach to the bottom plate, 2 on both sides by the partition plate 22 as a boundary It forms two small rooms. A floating plate (floater in FIG. 8) 23 that moves up and down by buoyancy is attached to the lower end of the partition plate 22. The floating plate 23 has an opening through which air passes substantially in the center.

When the cleaned liquid is sucked from the cleaning head 11, the sewage treatment tank 21 separates the cleaned liquid (sewage) and dust (hair loss, dirt and dust) in the tank, and discharges the air from which the dust has been removed. It sent out from 21 ₂ to the connection hose 24. The sewage is stored at the bottom of the tank.
The sewage treatment tank 21A of FIG. 9B is obtained by partially changing the sewage treatment tank 21 and omitting the floating plate 23.

Further, Septic Tank 21B in FIG. 9C, provided two partition plates 22a into the tank space 21 in _0, 22b at a predetermined interval, bottom hole 22 ₀ between the one partition plate 22a and the bottom plate 21a Is formed. With this configuration, the air mixed with water and dust sucked from the cleaning head first enters the space on the left side of FIG. 9C and is separated into sewage and air. The sewage accumulates at the bottom, and the air is 2 The sheet passes through the partition plates 22a and 22b and enters the space on the right side of FIG. 9C. In the upper part of the space, the air is free of water and dust, and is sucked by the suction device 25 and discharged to the outside. Incidentally, the bottom hole 22 ₀ serves to balance the water level at the bottom of the tank. According to this sewage treatment tank 21B, the suction of air mixed with water into the suction device 25 can be prevented.

Next, returning to FIG. 1, each of the liquid feeders 24A and 24B will be described.
Of the two liquid supply devices 24A and 24B, one liquid supply device 20A stores and puts a predetermined amount of water or cleaning water such as Nuruma Hot Water into a mist and supplies it to the cleaning head 11. The other liquid supply device 24B supplies detergent, for example, shampoo as it is or in the form of a mist to the cleaning head 11. These liquid feeders are already known, including those having a spray function (usually called a sprayer), and the present invention uses them. Detailed description is omitted. Of course, other known feeders having the same function may be used instead of the sprayer.

Further, an example of cleaning the hair using the cleaning system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The hair is washed in the following order.

A. Detergent (shampoo) cleaning Press the cleaning head 11 against the head, first spray a predetermined amount of cleaning liquid, i.e. water, onto the hair from the liquid supply 24A, wet the entire head, and then supply water. A predetermined amount of cleaning liquid, that is, a detergent (shampoo) is sprayed from the stop liquid supplier 24B.
After spraying the detergent, the cleaning head 11 is moved away from the head, the head hair is rubbed with both hands to remove dirt, and the entire head hair is foamed with a detergent and washed. In addition, since washing and washing are performed by hand, a mechanism for rotating the brush body as in the prior art (see Patent Document 3 above) is unnecessary, and the structure of the washing head can be simplified. The detergent may be sprayed directly from a commercially available washing bottle or the like without being supplied from the liquid supplier.

(B) Washing with water After detergent shampooing, the cleaning head 11 is again pressed against the head, the liquid supply device 24A is operated, a predetermined amount of water is sprayed from the spray nozzle 14 to wash the hair, and suction is performed almost simultaneously. The machine 25 is operated to suck the washed liquid (washing water, shampoo, hair loss, dirt, oil, etc.) from the suction nozzle 16 and the suction hole 15 together with air, and the entire head hair is washed with water (see FIG. 4). ). In addition, the arrow of FIG. 4 has shown the suction direction.

More specifically, when water is sprayed radially from the central spray nozzle 14, the sprayed water is washed in the direction of the first, second and third brush rings after washing the hair with water and washing. Spent liquid or the like is sucked from the suction nozzles of the first and second brush rings close to the central spray nozzle 14 substantially at the same time, and the amount of the cleaning liquid reaching the third brush ring is reduced. It is sucked by each suction nozzle of the brush ring and discharged to the outside.

Further, since the spray / suction body 13 has a dome shape, when the spray / suction body is pressed against the head, the ceiling at the center becomes high, and a relatively large space is formed between the spray / suction body 13 and the head. Therefore, the cleaning liquid can be efficiently circulated using this space. That is, when water is sprayed from the spray nozzle 14 at the center of the ceiling, the sprayed water fills up in a mist form in a relatively large space, and convects and circulates inside to efficiently clean the cleaning portion. In addition, the cleaned liquid and the like can be efficiently sucked from the suction hole 15 and the suction brush 15, and the cleaning liquid and the like can be prevented from scattering to the outside. Then, the washed liquid and air are sucked into the sewage treatment tank 21, and sewage and air are separated in this tank, and clean air is discharged outside.

C. Drying After washing the hair of the entire head with water, the liquid supply device 24A is stopped, and the operation of only the suction device 25 is continued, and the air sucked from the surrounding brush 17 is sucked from the suction nozzle 16 and the suction hole 15, Dry the entire head hair.

According to the cleaning system 10, since the detergent cleaning is performed by hand, a mechanism for rotating the brush body is not required as in the prior art, and the structure of the cleaning head is simplified. Can be efficiently cleaned, and the washed liquid does not leak outside. Water saving can be achieved with about 300 cc of washing water, at most 500 cc (about 1 bottle). For example, if washing is performed for about 7 cups in a 2 liter basin, that is, if the washing is performed twice in the first time and five times in the washout, a total of about 14 liters is used. Compared with, 96-98% of water can be saved. As a result, the cleaning system 10 can be efficiently and easily cleaned with a small amount of cleaning water even where there is no water supply facility such as tap water.

The washing system 10 can be used not only for washing hair, but also for other things such as pets such as dogs and cats, etc. Also, it can quickly wash away moisture from clothes and dry it quickly, and in the pollen season It can be used for various purposes such as washing pollen on clothes and clothes, and washing pollen without bringing pollen into the house. Further, the washing method is not limited to the above “a” to “c”, and variously used depending on the application.

The elastic suspension member 27 suspends the cleaning head 11 ′ in the opening 26 d of the cover housing 26 so as to vibrate freely, and is made of an elastic ring made of rubber or the like.

This cleaning system 10A can be used in the same manner as the cleaning system 10. However, by using this apparatus, not only cleaning and drying of “A” to “U”, but also massage can be performed. it can.

[Embodiments 3 to 8]
Furthermore, a cleaning system according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the cleaning systems according to Embodiments 3 to 8 of the present invention, a part of the spray / suction body 13 of the cleaning head 11 constituting the cleaning system 10 of Embodiment 1 is changed, and the cleaning target is different from the cleaning system of Embodiment 1. The object or region, for example, the body of the human body, for example, the abdomen, back or arm can be cleaned. In the following description, the same components as those in the cleaning system 10 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted, and different configurations are described.

First, a cleaning system according to Embodiments 3 to 5 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 shows the cleaning head of the cleaning system according to Embodiments 3 and 4 of the present invention, FIG. 13A is a rear view of the cleaning head constituting the cleaning system according to Embodiment 3, and FIG. 13B is related to Embodiment 4. 14A and 14B are side views of the cleaning heads of FIG. 13, FIG. 15 shows the cleaning head of the cleaning system according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 15B is a perspective view.

The cleaning system according to the third and fourth embodiments is configured by using the cleaning heads 11B and 11C in which a part of each spray / suction body is changed instead of the cleaning head of the first embodiment. Note that these cleaning systems are configured by the respective cleaning heads and the main body device, but the main body device is the same as the cleaning system of the first embodiment, and is omitted.

The cleaning head 11B of the cleaning system of Embodiment 3 has a spray / suction body 13D fixed to an opening 12d (see FIG. 4) of the head body 12, and this spray / suction body 13D has a spray nozzle at the center. 14, in which viewed Moreover sprayed cleaning liquid peep the spray nozzle 14 is provided with a brush annulus 17A which opened the pressing injection hole 17 ₁ of the size to be injected to the outside. The diameter of the injection hole 17 ₁ is longer diameter than the diameter of the opening 13 ₁ and the spray nozzle 14 (see FIG. 4), for example, those of more than double that of the diameter of the spray nozzle 14 and 10 mm, which, for example, 20mm or more. If the hole diameter is reduced, the cleaning liquid is less likely to be sprayed out from the pressing spray hole, so that the diameter of the spray nozzle 14 is increased.

Also, the brush annular body 17A is a collection of a plurality of fine hairs made of animal or artificial hair having a predetermined length, and has a substantially donut shape in a plan view. At times, it is elastically deformed so that it can adhere to the outside air, allow the washed liquid to pass through, and prevent the washing liquid from leaking outside during washing. The fine-brush annular body 17A corresponds to the outer peripheral brush 17 of the cleaning head 1 of the first embodiment, and corresponds to the pressing member in the claims. Reference numeral B denotes an operation button, which corresponds to the operation switch 18 (see FIG. 4).

The spray / suction body 13E of the cleaning head 11C of the cleaning system according to the fourth embodiment is configured such that the pressing member is an annular sponge body 17B instead of the brush annular body 17A of the cleaning head 11B. The annular sponge body 17B is a porous material having innumerable fine holes inside, and is formed of an elastomer resin obtained by foaming a synthetic resin such as polyurethane. In addition, reference numeral 17 ₁ is an injection hole pressed. This cleaning head 11C also has the same effect as the cleaning head 11B.

As shown in FIG. 15, the cleaning head 11D of the cleaning system according to the fifth embodiment uses a modified sponge annular body 17C by changing a part of the annular sponge body 17B of the fourth embodiment. That is, the annular sponge body 17C of the spray / suction body 13F is obtained by separating the sponge ring of the sponge annular body 17B into a plurality of pieces, and this configuration can increase the intake of outside air. According to the cleaning system including these cleaning heads 11B to 11D, it is possible to clean or dry the human arm or the like.

As shown in FIG. 16, when a cleaning system having a cleaning head 11C is used and the cleaning head 11C is pressed against the arm portion A, the annular sponge body 17B is elastically deformed to be in close contact with the arm portion A, and this state Can be cleaned with. The cleaning procedure is the same as that of the cleaning system 10. By this cleaning, the cleaning area can be cleaned and dried with the object other than the head being cleaned. The same applies to the cleaning system including the other cleaning heads 11B and 11D.

In these cleaning systems, the spray / suction body of each cleaning head is preferably connected to the head body by a detachable connecting means.
FIG. 17 shows a detachable coupling portion of the spray / suction body 13E, and the coupling means is the same as that of the spray / suction body of the first embodiment. The size of the spray / suction body 13E is such that the width a of the sign a of the spray body fitting portion 13b is, for example, 3 to 8 mm, the sign b is 3 to 8 mm, the sign c is a brush ring, and is 15 to 20 mm. is there.

These portions a and b are formed of a soft elastomer resin, easily elastically deformed, and air is not sucked, while the suction force is concentrated on the brush annular body. This attaching / detaching means is not limited to the above-mentioned means, and already known means may be used. In addition, it is preferable to use the same attaching / detaching means for connecting the spraying / suction body of other cleaning heads.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18 to FIG. 21, cleaning systems according to still other embodiments 6 to 8 of the present invention will be described. 18 shows the cleaning head of the cleaning system according to Embodiments 6 and 7 of the present invention, FIG. 18A is a rear view of the cleaning head constituting the cleaning system according to Embodiment 6, and FIG. 18B is related to Embodiment 7. 19 is a rear view of the cleaning head of the cleaning system, FIG. 19 is a side view of FIG. 18B, FIG. 20 shows the cleaning head of the cleaning system according to Embodiment 8 of the present invention, FIG. 20A is a rear view, and FIG. It is a perspective view.

In the cleaning systems according to Embodiments 6 to 8, instead of the cleaning heads of Embodiments 3 to 5, cleaning heads 11E to 11G in which their configurations are partially changed are used. These cleaning heads 11E to 11F are provided with spray / suction bodies 13G to 13I, respectively, and these spray / suction bodies change the positions of the spray nozzles 14 from the central part in a predetermined direction, pressing member, i.e. annular sponge member 17D, is obtained by changing the respective pressing each position of the injection hole 17 ₂ of the brush ring member 17E and variations annular sponge body 17F. That is, the spray nozzles 14 of the spray / suction bodies 13G to 13I are pressed between the center point and the outer peripheral edge of each spray / suction body and as close to the outer peripheral edge as possible. It is provided at a location that does not hinder the mounting of members.

These spray-attractant 13G ~ 13I, when fixed to the opening 12d of the head main body 12, the spray head 14 is fixed to positioned such that at a position away from the vacuum port 12 ₁ provided in the head body . This passage, the length connecting the spray head 14 and the vacuum port 12 ₁ and the radius, located on the circumference line drawn around this suction opening, preferably the farthest point from the suction port. This position is close to the outer peripheral edge beyond the center point of the spray / suction body. In addition, since the pressing member is attached in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the spray / suction body, the place where this attachment is avoided is selected.

By this way the spray nozzle be disposed at a position away from the vacuum port 12 ₁ beyond the center, at the time of washing, the sprayed cleaning liquid from the spray nozzle Ikitodoki not evenly into the washing zone, not reach the cleaning liquid cleaning It is possible to avoid cleaning unevenness that causes defects. Note that when the spray nozzle is in the position close to the vacuum port 12 _1, the spray cleaning liquid from the spray nozzle is sucked from the suction port substantially immediately, there is a possibility can not be washed not prudent to be cleaned area, which Can be avoided.
