The sanitary washing nozzle of the present invention is provided with a main ejection hole and an inclination with respect to the main ejection hole and is arranged around the main ejection hole, and a jet flow is ejected from the main ejection hole. Since the auxiliary nozzle hole group is designed to contact and interfere with the main jet flow, the cleaning water spouted separately from the main jet hole and the auxiliary nozzle hole group comes into contact and joins at a predetermined position when air is not mixed. , Becomes a concentrated steady flow and is ejected toward the human body part. Further, when air is mixed, the two-layer flow containing bubbles from the main ejection hole and the auxiliary nozzle hole group is ejected intermittently, and the two nozzles come into contact with each other at a predetermined position. Since the jets of the auxiliary jet are decomposed into a horizontal component and a vertical component with respect to the main jet, the vertical components alternately act on the main jet intermittently as a result of contact merging. The wash water will sway. That is, when air bubbles are not mixed, a concentrated continuous flow is obtained, and by mixing air, it is possible to select a cleaning mode capable of rocking cleaning in which air bubbles are mixed, that is, cleaning in a wide range.

In the above-mentioned structure, the operation of this embodiment will be described below.
The operation will be described. When the first switch 40 is turned on, the motors 17 and 28 start rotating by the first water supply control means 39, and the cleaning water is supplied to the nozzle cylinder 23 by the water pump 16 through the warm water tank 18.
The water pressure of the wash water acts on the end surface of the movable water supply body 26 and begins to move forward against the force of the elastic member 31. At this time, the movable plate 33 provided on the outer peripheral portion of the air supply pipe 29 is connected to the water supply passage 2
4, the area corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the water supply passage 24 is increased as a pressure receiving area, and the advancing output of the movable water supply body 26 is increased. When the movable water supply body 26 advances due to the water pressure and reaches the human body local position, the movable water supply body 26 comes into contact with the stopper 34 to move the movable plate 3
3 is stopped, the water supply passage 24 is opened as shown in FIG. 1, and the wash water passes through the water supply passage 24. On the other hand, at the same time that the water pump 16 operates, the air pump 27 also operates and the check valve 35,
The compressed air is mixed into the cleaning water through the air supply pipe 29 from the opening end 32 at a predetermined ratio, and the cleaning water containing the bubbles flows into the cleaning nozzle 25. At this time, since air is mixed in the process of passing through the water supply passage 24, that is, at a stage close to the nozzle element 25, there is no sudden expansion or contraction of the flow path of the wash water after mixing with air, and before separation into a gas phase and a liquid phase Then, the water is discharged from the jet holes through the water supply passage 24, and the nonuniformity of the air bubbles is prevented, and the air bubbles having a stable particle diameter are supplied. Further, the flow velocity of the cleaning water passing around the air supply pipe 29 in the water supply passage 24 is increased, and the air is mixed in a state where the pressure at the opening end 32 of the air supply pipe 29 is low due to the ejector effect by the passage of the cleaning water. it can. This makes it possible to forcefully mix air with a small capacity air pump, that is, at a low discharge pressure.

The cleaning water flowing into the cleaning nozzle 25 is simultaneously ejected from the main ejection hole 37 and the auxiliary nozzle hole 38. At this time, the cleaning water ejected from each ejection hole contains air bubbles and becomes an irregular intermittent flow. That is, the jetting force of the wash water jetted from each jet hole changes in intensity, and the jetting water shows the amplitude Wn in FIG. It will swing like

In the figure, (a) shows a state in which bubbles are not mixed, and (b) shows a state in which bubbles are mixed. Here, the jet output of the washing water from the main jet hole 37 is Vm, and the jet output from the auxiliary nozzle hole group 38 is Vm.
Letting a and Vb, the jet output from the auxiliary nozzle hole group 38 is decomposed into horizontal components Va1 and Vb1 and vertical components Va2 and Vb2 with respect to the jet flow of the main jet holes 37, and if bubbles are not mixed, it is a vertical component Va2. And the forces of Vb2 are balanced and stable, and a concentrated jet flow as shown in FIG. 2 is formed. On the other hand, when air bubbles are mixed, the cleaning water ejected from the main ejection holes 37 and the auxiliary nozzle hole group 38 becomes an irregular intermittent flow, so that the balance between Va2 and Vb2 is disturbed as shown in FIG. 4B. The jet will oscillate as shown in FIG.

In 9, the upper limit and the lower limit of the fluctuation amount of air are set according to the water force selected by the water force setting switch 41. In FIG. 7, for example, when the water force 3 is selected, the air amount is increased / decreased in the range from the upper limit Qmax to the lower limit Qmin. As a result, a suitable cleaning feeling can be obtained according to each water force. In order to achieve good swinging of the wash water, it is necessary to adjust the amount of mixed air according to the amount of water, and in particular, the wash nozzle 2 of this embodiment.
In the configuration of No. 5, it is necessary to set the air mixing ratio (mixed air amount / washing water amount) to be large when the water amount is small, and as shown in FIG. 7, the air amount tends to increase as the water pressure decreases. Is going.
