Benefits of technology

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary washing apparatus capable of keeping a human body washing nozzle device clean simply and with little effort and safety and at low cost as well as capable of giving a user such a sufficient feeling of safety that the sanitary washing apparatus is kept clean.

Problems solved by technology

However, such disinfection work is troublesome to a person.
In the conventional sanitary washing apparatus 902, however, dirt on the human body washing nozzle device 907 is difficult to sufficiently remove by spraying water which is washing water, and a sterilization effect is not also obtained.
Therefore, the user may erroneously touch the chemical liquid at the time of cleaning the human body washing nozzle device 907.
Furthermore, when the human body washing nozzle device 907 is cleaned using the chemical liquid, the chemical liquid costs money, and it takes time and labor to replenish a chemical liquid.

Abstract

When the human body is washed, washing water is sprayed on a surface to be washed of the human body from a posterior nozzle and a bidet nozzle. On the other hand, when the human body is not washed, the posterior nozzle and the bidet nozzle are subjected to high-temperature cleaning by a nozzle cleaning nozzle. When it is detected that a sanitary washing apparatus has not been employed yet, the posterior nozzle and the bidet nozzle are allowed to be cleaned by the nozzle cleaning nozzle by a controller. After a cleaning operation is terminated, a user is notified that the cleaning operation is terminated by a notification lamp and a speaker. A scale inhibiting material supply device is interposed in a pipe on the upstream side of an instantaneous heating device by the nozzle cleaning nozzle.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a sanitary washing apparatus that washes the private parts of the human body.
