Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sanitary washing device for washing local areas after use with warm water or the like and then drying with warm air.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional sanitary washing device of this type has a structure as shown in FIGS.

That is, when washing and drying are performed, air is sent to the air passage 2 by the fan 1 driven by a motor (not shown), and the air is warmed by the electric heater 3 and becomes warm air, which is provided in the toilet bowl 4. The warm air is blown out from the discharge port 5 and the warm air hits the portion to be cleaned of the human body 7 sitting on the toilet seat 6 and can be dried.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the hot air outlet 5, and the lid 8 is in the state A when not in use to prevent urine and water from entering the air passage 2. At the time of drying, when warm air flows in the air passage 2, the lid 8 opens to the state B, and the warm air always blows out in a fixed direction. For this reason, the warm air dries the water adhering to each part of the buttocks during washing.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a structure, the warm air is always blown in a certain direction, so that the hot air hits the same height of the hips and even the wet part after washing with water. , Warm air hits the parts that are not wet. For this reason, there is a problem that the non-wetting portion becomes too hot and the drying is stopped even though the wet portion is not dry. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a view of the hips viewed from the product side, where 5 is the discharge port, and the hatched portion 9 is the range in which warm air hits the hips. After washing, the wet part is the surface of the hips, and warm air is felt on the part A even though it is not wet.

Therefore, the present invention relates to a sanitary washing device in which hot air is intensively applied to a wet portion after washing to improve the drying ability. That is, the anus is at the highest position in the wet part, and the surface of the hips is wet below that, so warm air is applied to the wet distribution.

Means for Solving the Problems And the technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems,
Bias projections are provided on the lower side wall of the ejection port in the air blowing direction, and a groove is provided in the lid of the ejection port so that the anus is hit with warm air.

Action The action of this technical means is as follows. That is, with the above configuration, the warm air from the discharge port is blown out while being rolled up. At this time, the vertical blowing angle of the warm air changes in the groove portion of the lid body and other places. Therefore, if you dry the area around the anus with a higher level of warm air and the area below the anus with less warm air,
The wet part after washing can be efficiently dried.

Example Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 is a fan for blowing air, which is driven by a motor (not shown) and sends air to the air passage 11. And
The wind is warmed by the electric heater 12 to become warm air, and the toilet 13
It blows out from a hot air outlet 14 provided inside. The blown warm air hits the butt of the human body sitting on the toilet seat 15 and dries the portion to be cleaned.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the hot air outlet 14, and the lid 16 covers the outlet 14 when not in use to prevent urine and water from entering the air passage 11. An arc 17 is provided on the upper wall surface of the discharge port 14, and a bias protrusion 18 is provided on the opposite wall surface. Further, the lid 16 is provided with a groove 19 so that the anus is exposed to warm air.

 Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be described.

The wind sent to the air passage 11 by the blower fan 10 is warmed by the electric heater 12 to become warm air. When the warm air comes near the discharge port 14, the warm air flows along the upper wall by the arc 17 on the upper wall and the bias projection 18 on the opposite wall, and the warm air blows out in the tangential direction of the arc. That is, the warm air is rolled up diagonally due to the Coanda effect.

The lid 16 is opened by this warm air as shown in FIG. With the lid 16 open, the warm air blows in the groove portion 19 in the diagonally upward X direction, and in the portions other than the groove portion 20, the substantially horizontal Y.
Blow in the direction.

At this time, the warm air hits the bottom as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a view of the hips from the product side, where 14 is the discharge port, and the shaded portion 21 is the range in which warm air hits the hips. There is a groove 19 in the vicinity of the anus, which is in a high position on the buttocks and is well wet after washing, due to the groove 19.
The warm air blown in the direction hits, and the wet air below it hits the warm air blown in the Y direction well.

As a result, the drying ability is improved, and a large amount of warm air does not hit the non-wetted place so that it is not hot, and it is possible to dry comfortably.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a simple structure in which a bias protrusion is provided on the lower side wall of the hot air outlet and a groove is provided on the lid, and the hot air is intensively applied to the wet part of the hip after cleaning. As a result, the drying ability is improved and the material can be dried comfortably.
