Description

Bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method, bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the manufacturing method, and bidet paper nozzle manufacturing device

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle, a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the method, and a bidet paper nozzle manufacturing device thereof, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle, a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the method, and a bidet paper nozzle manufacturing device thereof, which provides an environmentally friendly and hygienic bidet paper nozzle that is manufactured only with an environmentally friendly paper straw without using any other separate materials such as bond, other adhesives, glue, etc., and which is used once and then replaced, and a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the method, and a bidet paper nozzle manufacturing device thereof.

[0002] In general, a bidet is used to maintain the cleanliness of the anus of men and women or the private parts of women after using the toilet. There are electronic bidets that are installed directly on the toilet, mechanical bidets that use water pressure that are installed directly on the toilet, and portable bidets.

[0003] And, first, if we analyze the hygiene issues related to the current bidet use, the current bidet penetration rate is somewhat different depending on the data when researched through media outlets, but Korea is around 46%, Japan is around 70%, and the bidet market is rapidly expanding in China, the United States, and other countries, so the bidet penetration rate is increasing.

[0004] Accordingly, as the bidet distribution rate has increased in recent years, the need for a bidet has increased even during daily outdoor activities, and bidets are being installed and distributed in restrooms in multi-use buildings, office buildings, highway rest areas, etc.

[0005] However, there are concerns about the hygiene of bidet nozzles, which are shared by multiple people. This is because the toilet's internal environment is a breeding ground for bacteria, allowing them to thrive in various environments and at any given time. Even if the nozzle is cleaned weekly or monthly with a toothbrush or other tool, it will soon be susceptible to bacterial growth again, posing an environmental problem.

[0006] Furthermore, shared bidets, when used by multiple people, present limitations in maintaining the hygienic cleanliness of the bidet and bidet nozzle. Consequently, even when bidets are installed in buildings used by multiple people, the unsanitary nature of the bidet nozzle often discourages their use.

[0007] Therefore, the hygiene management problem of the bidet nozzle as described above is one of the issues that must be solved not only for bidets installed in buildings but also at home.

[0008] So, in recent years, in order to solve the sanitary problem of the bidet nozzle as mentioned above, in the case of electronic bidets installed on toilets, when the toilet user presses the bidet use button, the program washes the nozzle area with water, then the nozzle comes out to clean, and when cleaning is finished, the nozzle is inserted and washed again with water. Most of them have this function.

[0009] Also, as an example of a method for solving the sanitary problem of a conventional bidet nozzle, a 'Bidet capable of sterilization and cleaning' (hereinafter referred to as 'Prior Document 1') of Patent Application No. 2016-0101827 is known. Prior Document 1 is a method of cleaning the nozzle using electrolyzed water according to a program sequence similar to the electronic bidet described above, as it is limited to briefly cleaning the nozzle with water alone.

[0010] In addition, as another example of a method for solving the sanitary problem of a conventional bidet nozzle, Patent No. 1303449 entitled 'Nozzle sterilization device and bidet having the same' (hereinafter referred to as 'prior document 2') is known. Prior document 2 is a method of sterilizing a nozzle by heating water and using steam.

[0011] Also, as another example of a method for solving the sanitary problem of a conventional bidet nozzle, Patent No. 1320588, 'Nozzle assembly sterilization control method for a hot water washer' (hereinafter referred to as 'prior document 3'), is known. Prior document 3 is a method of sterilizing a bidet nozzle by applying a UV sterilization lamp.

[0012] Also, as another example of a method for solving the sanitary problem of conventional bidet nozzles, Patent No. 1992536 entitled 'Method for manufacturing bidet nozzle cover and bidet nozzle cover manufactured by the method' (hereinafter referred to as 'prior document 4') is known. Prior document 4 is a method for cleaning and reusing the nozzle with a cleaning brush or the like, but this method is not easy to use, especially in public restrooms, as the nozzle must be cleaned with a cleaning brush or the like every time the bidet is used.

[0013] Therefore, as described above, the reason why the various nozzle hygiene management methods of prior documents 1 to 4 cannot be considered safe in terms of hygiene issues regarding the nozzle is that there are cases where people with constipation see induced feces through the sprayed water stream while pressing the cleaning button while defecating, and the feces fall on the nozzle and get stuck, so it can be seen that there is a limit to solving the hygiene issue regarding the nozzle even if the nozzle is cleaned by spraying water using the electrolysis method, steam method, UV lamp method, etc. of the prior documents.

[0014] So, recently, due to awareness of the above-mentioned unsanitary problems, portable bidets that can be used in restrooms in buildings (office buildings), train stations, rest areas, campsites, etc. when going out have been sold.

[0015] Portable bidets currently on the market include rechargeable automatic water sprayers, battery-replaceable automatic water sprayers, manual bidets that are used by squeezing the water out of the case with your hand, and disposable bidets that contain purified water and are thrown away after one use.

[0016] However, these portable bidets also have to be washed and stored after use to prevent foreign substances from getting on the nozzle, but there is a problem in that the nozzle has to be stored for a while to prevent foreign substances from getting on the body when getting dressed and changing clothes, and it is inconvenient to have to wash and store it in a bathroom sink used by many people, and even if you wash it, it is difficult to clean the depth of the water spray hole, so there are limits to hygienic management of the nozzle.

[0017] Therefore, as described above, bidets that are installed and used on toilets, as well as portable bidets that are carried around, have limitations in resolving hygiene issues related to the nozzle.

[0018] Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

[0019] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bidet paper nozzle that can be used as a replacement for a portable bidet or a toilet-mounted bidet by manufacturing it only with an eco-friendly paper straw without using any other separate materials such as bond, other adhesives, glue, etc., and a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the manufacturing method and a manufacturing device for the bidet paper nozzle.

[0020] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method that can manufacture a bidet paper nozzle at the lowest cost through a simple processing process using only a paper straw without using an injection manufacturing method using injection molding equipment, a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the manufacturing method, and a manufacturing device for the bidet paper nozzle.

[0021] In addition, another purpose of the present invention is to provide a bidet paper nozzle that allows a user of a portable bidet to carry a necessary number of bidet paper nozzles with him or her when going out, insert the bidet paper nozzle into the portable bidet when using the toilet, and then conveniently and hygienically throw the bidet paper nozzle into a trash can after using it once.

[0022] In addition, another purpose of the present invention is to provide a bidet paper nozzle that allows a user to use a new bidet paper nozzle each time he or she uses the toilet by detaching the previously used bidet paper nozzle from the nozzle installation hole of the bidet and then inserting a new bidet paper nozzle into the nozzle installation hole of the bidet each time he or she uses the toilet while using an electric bidet or mechanical bidet installed in a toilet.

[0023] In order to achieve the above object, the 'bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method' of the present invention comprises: a molding member preparation step (S1) in which a molding member is prepared in which a vertical groove with an open upper portion is formed therein and a cone-shaped folding cone-shaped forming groove or a folding horizontal forming surface having a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion is formed at the lower portion of the vertical groove; a vertical groove insertion step (S2) in which a paper straw is vertically erected and a lower portion of the paper straw is inserted into the vertical groove; a reinforcing member insertion step (S3) in which a reinforcing member is detachably inserted into the inner and upper circumference of the paper straw inserted into the vertical groove; a twisting folding blocking part forming step (S4) in which the upper portion of the reinforcing member is rotated and pressed to press the lower portion of the paper straw inserted into the vertical groove of the molding member against the folding cone-shaped forming groove or the folding horizontal forming surface formed at the lower portion of the vertical groove to form a twisting folding blocking part at the lower portion of the paper straw, and then the reinforcing member is raised to detach and separate from the paper straw; It is characterized by including a step (S5) of forming a water injection hole by processing one or more water injection holes on the lower side of the paper straw having a twisted folding blocking portion formed at the lower end, after detaching the paper straw from the vertical groove.

[0024] In addition, the 'bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method' of the present invention is characterized by a bidet paper nozzle manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method.

[0050]

[0051] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the described embodiments.

[0052] FIG. 1 is a process diagram showing a method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a drawing showing each process of a method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a bidet paper nozzle according to the present invention viewed from below.

[0053] As illustrated in the drawing, the method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle according to the present invention provides a bidet paper nozzle (1) that is manufactured only with an eco-friendly paper straw without using any other separate materials such as bond, other adhesives, glue, etc., and can be used as a replacement for a portable bidet or a home bidet, and includes a molding member preparation step (S1), a vertical groove insertion step (S2), a reinforcing member insertion step (S3), a twisted folding blockage formation step (S4), and a water injection hole processing step (S5).

[0054] First, the above-mentioned molding member preparation step (S1) is to prepare a molding member (5) in which a vertical groove (5a) with an open upper portion is formed inside, and a cone-shaped folding molding groove (5b: see Fig. 2a) having a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion or a horizontal folding molding surface (5d: see Fig. 2b) formed as a horizontal plane is formed at the lower portion of the vertical groove (5a).

[0055] In particular, a horizontal surface (5c) may be further formed at the bottom of the above-described folding cone-shaped forming groove (5b) to prevent the lower end of the twisted folding blocking portion (3) to be described later from becoming sharp.

[0056] Next, the vertical groove insertion step (S2) is performed after the molding member preparation step (S2) is performed, and the paper straw (2) is vertically erected and the lower part of the paper straw (2) is inserted into the vertical groove (5a).

[0057] The above paper straw (2) is known to be open at the top and bottom when standing vertically. The known paper straw (2) can be used by selecting one of the environmentally friendly paper straws (2) available on the market.

[0058] In particular, the above paper straw (2) may be an eco-friendly paper straw manufactured by the 'One-stop eco-friendly paper straw manufacturing method including coating process' of Patent Registration No. 10-2533761, or the 'paper straw' described in Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 2022-0023339.

[0059] Next, the reinforcing member insertion step (S3) is performed after the vertical groove insertion step (S2) is performed, and the reinforcing member (6) is removably inserted into the inside and upper portion of the paper straw (2) inserted into the vertical groove (5a).

[0060] And the above reinforcing member (6) may be configured to include a reinforcing bar (6a) that is inserted into the inside of the paper straw (2) so as to be detachable upward, and an upper fixing body (6b) that is formed on the upper portion of the reinforcing bar (6a) and has an insertion groove (6c) formed on the lower portion of the lower portion, into which the upper circumference of the paper straw (2) is detachably inserted.

[0061] The outer circumferential surface of the above insertion groove (6c) may be formed as an inclined surface (6d) that slopes upward from the lower circumference to the upper inner circumference, so that the upper portion of the paper straw (2) can be inserted in a wedge-like manner so that it can be detached.

[0062] Next, the above-described twisting folding blocking portion forming step (S3) is performed after the above-described reinforcing member insertion step (S3), and the paper straw (2) vertically erected in the vertical groove (5a) of the above-described forming member (5) is rotated and pressed downwards, and the lower end of the vertically erected paper straw (2) is rotated while being pressed against the folding cone-shaped forming groove (5b) or the folding horizontal forming surface (5d) formed at the lower end of the vertical groove (5a), thereby forming the twisting folding blocking portion (3) at the lower end of the paper straw (2).

[0063] The above twisting folding blocking portion (3) is formed by blocking the lower part of the paper straw (2) during the process of rotation while being pressed against the folding cone-shaped forming groove (5b) or the folding horizontal forming surface (5d). This twisting folding blocking portion (3) hardens due to frictional heat and blocks the lower part of the paper straw (2), so the twisting folding blocking portion (3) has an excellent waterproofing effect.

[0064] The following water injection hole processing step (S4) is performed after the twisting folding blocking portion forming step (S3) is performed. The paper straw (2) having the twisting folding blocking portion (3) formed at the bottom is separated from the vertical groove (5a), and then one or more water injection holes (4) are processed and formed on the lower side of the paper straw (2) having the twisting folding blocking portion (3) formed at the bottom.

[0065] In the above water injection hole processing step (S4), it is preferable to form the water injection hole (4) through a known laser processing method that allows easy change in the shape of the water injection hole (4) so ​​that the water can be formed into various desired shapes through which water is injected at high pressure.

[0066] Meanwhile, the method for manufacturing a bidet paper nozzle according to the present invention described above can be applied to a bidet paper nozzle manufacturing device according to the present invention described later to manufacture a bidet paper nozzle (1), and can also be applied to another manufacturing device to manufacture a bidet paper nozzle (1), and a worker can also manually manufacture a bidet paper nozzle (1).

[0067] Therefore, the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method according to the present invention is a useful invention that allows the bidet paper nozzle (1) to be replaced with a disposable one without cost burden by manufacturing the bidet paper nozzle (1) at the lowest cost through a simple processing process using only the paper straw (2) without using an injection manufacturing method using injection molding equipment.

[0068] In addition, the bidet paper nozzle (1) manufactured by the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method according to the present invention is manufactured by the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method according to the present invention described above.

[0069] More specifically, the bidet paper nozzle (1) manufactured by the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method according to the present invention is manufactured through the above-described molding member preparation step (S1), vertical groove insertion step (S2), twisted folding blockage part forming step (S3), and water injection hole processing step (S4).

[0070] Accordingly, the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention may be configured to include a vertically erected paper straw (2), a twisted folding blocking portion (3) formed at the lower end of the paper straw (2) to waterproofly block the lower portion of the paper straw (2), and one or more water spray holes (4) formed at the lower side of the paper straw (2).

[0071] Therefore, the bidet paper nozzle (1) manufactured by the bidet paper nozzle manufacturing method according to the present invention is manufactured only with an eco-friendly paper straw (2) without using any other separate materials such as bond, other adhesives, glue, etc., and can provide a bidet paper nozzle that can be used as a replacement for a portable bidet or a home bidet.

[0072] Therefore, the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention is a useful invention that not only enables hygienic use of the bidet paper nozzle (1) itself by using only one bidet paper nozzle (1) per toilet use, but also provides an environmentally friendly bidet paper nozzle (1) by manufacturing the bidet paper nozzle (1) using only a paper straw (2).

[0073] In addition, when the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention is used in a portable bidet, the user of the portable bidet can carry the bidet paper nozzle (1) in the required quantity when going out, and when using the toilet, insert the bidet paper nozzle (1) into the portable bidet and conveniently and hygienically throw the bidet paper nozzle (1) in a trash can after a single use.

[0074] Therefore, when the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention is used in a portable bidet, not only can a new bidet paper nozzle (1) be hygienically used every time a person uses the toilet, but also the bidet paper nozzle (1) can be hygienically disposed of by immediately throwing the bidet paper nozzle (1) into a trash can after use, and by using the bidet paper nozzle (1) at the lowest price every time a person uses the toilet, the user can use the bidet paper nozzle (1) without any financial burden, which is a useful invention.

[0075] In addition, when using the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention in an electric bidet or mechanical bidet installed in a toilet, the user can use a new bidet paper nozzle (1) each time he or she uses the toilet by detaching the previously used bidet paper nozzle (1) from the nozzle installation hole of the bidet and then inserting a new bidet paper nozzle (1) into the nozzle installation hole of the bidet.

[0076] Therefore, when using an electric bidet or mechanical bidet installed in a toilet, the bidet paper nozzle (1) according to the present invention is a useful invention that allows for hygienic use of a new bidet paper nozzle (1) at all times when using the toilet by replacing the bidet paper nozzle (1).

[0079] On the upper circumference of the above rotary table (20), a vertical groove (5a) with an open upper portion is formed inside each, and a plurality of molding members (5) having a cone-shaped folding groove (5c) with a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion or a horizontal folding molding surface (not shown) formed in a horizontal plane are installed at equal intervals below the vertical groove (5a).

[0080] In particular, a horizontal surface (5c) may be further formed at the bottom of the above-described folding cone-shaped forming groove (5c) to prevent the lower end of the twisted folding blocking portion (3) described later from becoming sharp.

[0081] And the rotary table (20) includes a rotary motor (not shown) that is provided at the lower part of the rotary table (20) and is connected to a control unit to be described later to rotate the molding members (5) counterclockwise one space at a time, so that the molding members (5) installed at equal intervals around the upper periphery of the rotary table (20) are configured to rotate counterclockwise one space at a time when viewed in a plane.

[0082] In addition, the straw supply means (30) and the straw insertion driving means (40) serve to vertically raise the paper straw (2) and insert it into the vertical groove (5a) of the molding member (5) each time the molding members (5) rotate counterclockwise by one space.

[0083] First, the straw supply means (30) may be configured to include a supply table (31), a vibration supply means (32), and a supply cylinder (35).

[0084] The above supply table (31) is installed horizontally at the rear of the perimeter of the rotary table (20).

[0085] The vibration supply means (32) continuously supplies paper straws (2) in the longitudinal direction to the upper part of the supply table (31) and is connected to a control unit to be described later. More specifically, the vibration supply means (32) may be configured to include a known vibration cylinder (34) which is installed at the rear of one side of the upper part of the supply table (31) and has a vertical passage (331) formed therein in a longitudinal direction with an open upper portion therein, and a supply passage (332) formed at the other side of the lower part of the vertical passage (331) for supplying paper straws (2) to the upper part of the supply table (31), and a straw supply line (341) which is installed at the rear of the supply member (33) and continuously supplies paper straws (2) one by one in the longitudinal direction to the upper part of the vertical passage (331).

[0086] In particular, the above-mentioned vibrating tube (34) is known, and paper straws (2) are inserted into the vibrating tube (34) and are configured to be continuously supplied one by one to the straw supply line (341) by vibration caused by the operation of a vibrator (not shown).
