Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bidet technology, and more specifically to a bidet with the function of cleaning menstrual cups. Background Technology

[0002] Menstrual cups, which women typically use during menstruation, are usually reusable. Each time they are used, the cup must be cleaned and sterilized before insertion. After a certain interval (usually 2 hours), it is removed, the menstrual blood and other fluids are poured out, the cup is cleaned, and then it is reinserted. Because the process of removing the cup, emptying it, washing it, and reinserting it every so often is cumbersome, and because current menstrual cups require immediate cleaning at a sink after removal, they are inconvenient to carry if not cleaned, causing considerable inconvenience to users.

[0003] A bidet is a water-dispensing device used to wash the lower body, specifically the defecation area. Some types of bidets can also be used as a toilet seat. Using a bidet after defecation avoids direct contact between the defecation area and hands, thus preventing bacterial infection and promoting hygiene. Currently, bidets are generally used in conjunction with toilets. Traditional bidets only have rinsing functions and cannot meet the needs of women who require menstrual cup cleaning during menstruation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bidet that integrates menstrual cup cleaning to improve user convenience. Utility Model Content

[0030] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides a bidet with the function of cleaning menstrual cup 4, used in conjunction with a toilet, including: a bidet body, a control device 1 and a flushing device mounted on the bidet body, the flushing device including multiple nozzles 21, and a cleaning device 3 for cleaning menstrual cup 4, which is also mounted on the bidet body. The cleaning device 3 includes: a cleaning device inlet 31, a cleaning water tank 32, a cover 33, a spray element, and a drainage assembly; water flows into the cleaning device 3 from the cleaning device inlet 31 and is sprayed into the cleaning water tank 32 by the spray element; the drainage assembly includes a drain outlet 35, a drainage control component, and a drain pipe 37, the drainage control component being used to control the opening and closing of the drain outlet 35;

[0032] The control device 1 has a first water outlet switching valve 11 and a second water outlet switching valve 12. The first water outlet switching knob 131 and the second water outlet switching knob 132 are rotatably mounted on the first water outlet switching valve 11 and the second water outlet switching valve 12, respectively, and are connected to the switching valve stems of the first water outlet switching valve 11 and the second water outlet switching valve 12. Each water outlet of the first water outlet switching valve 11 is connected to the water inlet 121 of the second water outlet switching valve and the water inlet 31 of the cleaning device, respectively. Each water outlet of the second water outlet switching valve 12 is connected to each nozzle 21 of the rinsing device.

[0033] The bidet body is installed on the toilet via the mounting part 5. This part of the structure is existing technology, and the specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The rinsing device is existing technology. Each outlet of the second water outlet switching valve 12 can be connected to each nozzle 21 through a hose. Each nozzle can have rinsing functions such as posterior washing or feminine washing by setting different spray angles. The valve stem of the second water outlet switching valve 12 can be switched by rotating the second water outlet switching knob 132, so that the water flow of the second water outlet switching valve 12 is connected to different nozzles for different functions. The angle of each nozzle is adjustable or fixed. The specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The main improvement of this utility model lies in the control device 1 and the cleaning device 3, both of which are mounted on the body of the bidet and are separated from each other. Taking this embodiment as an example, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The specific improvements are as follows:

[0036] I. Control Device 1:

[0037] In addition to the second water outlet switching valve 12 and the second water outlet switching knob 132 for controlling the rinsing mode of the rinsing device, the control device 1 also has a first water outlet switching valve 11. In this embodiment, the first water outlet switching valve 11 has a main water inlet (in this embodiment, the main water inlet is located at the lower end of the first water outlet switching valve 11, not shown in the figure), which serves as the main inlet for all water used by the bidet. The first water outlet switching valve 11 is used to control the direction of the water flow entering from the main water inlet and the opening and closing of the main water flow. When the bidet needs to be used, the water flow enters the first water outlet switching valve 11 through the main water inlet and is then guided to the rinsing device or the washing device 3.

[0038] The first water outlet switching valve 11 also has at least two water outlets. In this embodiment, it has a first water outlet 111 and a second water outlet 112. The first water outlet 111 is connected to the cleaning device 3, and the second water outlet 112 is connected to the rinsing device.

[0039] A control panel 13 is covered on the control device 1. A first water outlet switching knob 131 and a second water outlet switching knob 132 are located on the control panel 13. The first water outlet switching knob 131 can switch the water outlet mode of the first water outlet switching valve 11 by rotating it: water is discharged from the first outlet 111 of the first water outlet switching valve, water is discharged from the second outlet 112 of the first water outlet switching valve, or no water is discharged.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 3 is installed on the front side of the control device 1, and the rinsing device is installed on the rear side of the control device 1. The first outlet 111 of the first water switching valve is connected to the inlet 31 of the cleaning device through a hose (not shown). The second outlet 112 of the first water switching valve is directly connected to the inlet 121 of the second water switching valve. When the rinsing device needs to be used, the first water switching knob 131 is rotated to open the second outlet 112 of the first water switching valve, and the water flows into the inlet 121 of the second water switching valve. Then, the water flows into the corresponding nozzle 21 through the second water switching valve outlet 122 selected by the user for rinsing. When the cleaning device 3 needs to be used, the first water switching knob 131 is rotated to open the first outlet 111 of the first water switching valve, and the water flows into the inlet 31 of the cleaning device through the hose for the next cleaning operation.

[0041] In other embodiments, the inlet 121 of the second outlet switching valve 12 may not need to be connected to the second outlet 112 of the first outlet switching valve. Water can be supplied through other means (e.g., direct connection to an external tap water pipe). The second outlet switching valve 12 itself has the function of starting and stopping water and distributing water. The first outlet switching valve 11 can be used only as a water supply for the cleaning device and has the function of starting and stopping water. When this structure is adopted, the cleaning device 3 and the rinsing device can work synchronously.

[0042] II. Cleaning device 3:

[0043] The cleaning device 3 is mounted on the front side of the control device 1. The rear side of the rear wall of the cleaning water tank 32 of the cleaning device 3 is the first water outlet switching valve 11 of the control device 1. The cleaning water tank 32 is provided with a cover 33, which is a flip-top structure and is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the cleaning water tank 32. One end of the cover 33 is pivotally connected to the side of the cleaning water tank 32 near the control device 1 (in this embodiment, the rear side of the cleaning water tank 32). The water inlet 31 of the cleaning device is located on the cover 33. Therefore, the rear wall of the cleaning water tank 32 is recessed downward to allow the water inlet 31 of the cleaning device to extend backward and connect to the first water outlet 111 of the first water outlet switching valve through a hose.

[0044] See Figure 5 The spray component of the cleaning device 3 includes a spray panel 34 that is fastened to the bottom of the cover 33. The spray panel 34 has several equidistantly arranged, upwardly protruding guide structures 342, which are triangular in shape. Spray holes 341 are distributed at the top of each guide structure 342. A chamber is formed between the spray panel 34 and the cover 33. Water entering the cleaning device 3 from the water inlet 31 first enters the chamber and is sprayed into the cleaning water tank 32 from the spray holes 341, thereby cleaning the menstrual cup 4 in the cleaning water tank 32. From the water inlet to the spraying process, because each guide structure 342 protrudes upward in the chamber and has a height difference, and the spray holes 341 are located at the top of each guide structure 342, the water entering the chamber will not immediately spray out from a certain spray hole 341. Instead, it will first disperse at the bottom of the chamber and then start to raise the water level. Finally, when the overall water level reaches the height of the top of the guide structure 342, water will start to be discharged from each spray hole 341 at the same time, so as to achieve uniform water discharge.

[0045] The drainage control assembly includes a toggle switch 361, a pull cord 362, and a plug 363. The toggle switch 361 is located on the control panel 13 of the control device 1 and can be toggled back and forth on the control panel 13. The drain outlet 35 is provided with a vertical guide groove 364. One end of the pull cord 362 is connected to the toggle switch 361, and the other end is connected to the plug 363. By toggling the toggle switch 361 back and forth, the plug 363 is pulled by the pull cord 362 and moves up and down within the guide groove 364 to open and close the drain outlet 35. In this embodiment, the drain outlet 35 is circular, so the plug 363 is a sphere, and the guide groove 364 is cylindrical. The drain pipe 37 connected to the drain outlet 35 extends to the toilet bowl to discharge the wastewater after cleaning into the toilet bowl. To accommodate different sizes of toilet bowls, the length of the drain pipe 37 can be selected in different specifications, or the drain pipe 37 can be a telescopic pipe.

[0046] Because of the drainage control component, the user can manually control the opening and closing of the drain outlet 35. Therefore, when using the cleaning device 3 to clean the menstrual cup 4, the user can manually control the cleaning method to be immersion or running water cleaning. In order to facilitate the user to observe the water level in the cleaning tank 32, the cover 33 of this embodiment is also provided with a transparent viewing window 331. In addition to setting the viewing window 331, the cover 33 can also be directly set to a transparent material.

[0047] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 32 is designed to accommodate menstrual cups 4 of various sizes, thus improving its practicality.

[0048] As can be seen from the above embodiments, in addition to the basic rinsing function, the bidet of this utility model also has a cleaning function for cleaning menstrual cup 4, which improves the user experience for female users and is convenient.

[0049] The above is merely one embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
