In this way, by mounting the heating case 17 on the main body case 6, the heating means 4 for heating the toilet room by the heater 21 and the fan 5 is configured.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When the toilet bowl 2 is used for toilet or other purposes, the solenoid 5 is energized to rotate the fan 5 with the damper 32 closed, and the deodorizing port 47 at the end of the ventilation passage 14 facing the toilet bowl 2 is rotated. Deodorant filter 1 that absorbs the odor in the toilet bowl 2 from
Deodorant by 5, passes through the heater internal air passage portion 19 of the heating case 17, and is blown out from the blowout port 37. Here, when the heater 21 is not energized, only deodorization is performed. On the other hand, when the heater 21 is energized during the deodorizing action, the odor sucked from the deodorizing port 47 at the tip of the ventilation passage 14 is deodorized by the deodorizing filter 15, and the deodorized air is heated by the heater interior wind of the heating case 17. When passing through the road portion 19, it is heated by the heater 21 and is blown out as warm air from the air outlet 37 to heat the toilet room and heat the feet of a person sitting on the toilet seat. Particularly, in this case, the louver 39 located at the blowout port 37 portion of the lower surface of the heating case 17 attached to the lower surface of the other end of the main body case 6 is directed diagonally forward and downward so that the louver 39 is positioned forward as it goes downward. Since it is inclined downward, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 6, warm air is blown out obliquely downward and forward from the outlet 37 to heat the feet of the person sitting on the toilet seat.

The above-mentioned heating of the toilet room is, so to speak, deodorizing heating which is performed at the same time when deodorizing. However, when the deodorizing operation is not required and only the toilet room is heated, the solenoid 34 should be de-energized. Then the damper 32
With the fan open, the fan 5 is rotated and the heater 21 is energized. In this case, since the damper 32 is opened, the air in the toilet room is sucked into the suction port 38.
Flow through the air intake portion 20 to the ventilation passage 14 from the communication port 45, and are heated by the heater 21 when passing through the fan internal air passage portion 19 via the fan 5 and are blown out as warm air from the outlet 37 to the toilet room. Is for heating.
In this case, the suction port 38 is larger than the deodorizing port 47 at the tip of the ventilation path 14, and the flow path from the suction port 38 to the fan 5 is short and the duct resistance is small, but the deodorizing port 47 does not blow into the fan. Up to 5, the flow path is long and the line resistance is large, and there is a large pressure loss due to the deodorizing filter 15. For this reason, the fan 5 is opened with the damper 32 open.
When a large amount of air is sucked only from the suction port 38 when it is turned, it is heated by the heater 21 when passing through the fan internal air passage 19 via the fan 5 and is blown out as a large amount of warm air from the blowout port 37 to the toilet. The room is heated.

As described above, according to the present invention, two air volumes can be selected, namely, a case of blowing out a small amount of warm air by deodorizing heating and a case of blowing out a large amount of warm air only for heating without deodorizing. .. Then, in the case of blowing out a small amount of warm air by the deodorization heating, two heaters 21a, 2
It is set so that only one heater 21a of 1b is energized, and both heaters 21a and 21b are energized in the case of a large air volume that does not deodorize. By doing so, the heat generation can be adjusted according to the air volume, and the temperature of the hot air blown out can be made the same. In the above embodiment, two heaters 21 are provided to adjust the heat generation according to the air volume. However, only one heater 21 is used to adjust the heat generation by changing the applied voltage applied to the heater 21. It may be performed.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the treroom can be heated during deodorization, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the case of deodorization alone, the inside of the toilet room is not deodorized. In the case of only heating, the two may be freely switchable.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, a fan for deodorizing means for deodorizing a toilet and a toilet room in a local cleaning device for spraying cleaning water to clean a local area of a human body. Since the same fan also serves as the fan for the heating means for heating, the fan for the deodorizing means in the toilet attached to the local cleaning device can be used as it is as a fan for heating the toilet room. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced, cost can be reduced, and space can be used effectively, and the air in the toilet room can be kept between the deodorizing filter in the ventilation passage and the fan. Since there is an intake part for a large amount of air to be taken in, and a damper that can open and close this intake part is provided, by closing the damper and rotating the fan when deodorizing, the odor sucked from the deodorizing port It is deodorized by the deodorization filter and discharged from the other end of the ventilation passage. On the other hand, when heating only the toilet room, the damper is opened, the fan is rotated, and the heater is energized A large amount of air is sucked in from and is heated by the heater to become warm air from the other end of the ventilation passage, and a large amount of warm air is blown into the toilet room to efficiently heat the toilet room. There is an advantage that.
