Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a body washer that is installed mainly in bathrooms in ordinary homes and public baths and is used to wash the body.

BACKGROUND ART Generally, in order to automatically wash the body, it is preferable to use an electric motor as the driving source of a washing machine. However, since the washer of a washing machine uses a flexible material such as a sponge, the washer gets dirty and deteriorates even after short-term use, and it is difficult to replace the washer each time. It was necessary to remove the jig that fixes it, which required a great deal of time and effort.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an electric body washing machine using a washing body that can be freely attached to and detached from the washing machine.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.
In the present invention, both ends 4 and 5 of a rack 3 extending vertically through the housing 1a of the washing machine 1 are fixed to the wall 2.
This device washes the human body by rotationally driving a washing body 7 attached to a drive shaft 6 of a washing machine 1 and pressing the chest, back, etc. against the washing body 7 coated with detergent. Both ends 4, 5 of the rack 3 are fixed longitudinally to the side wall 2 by brackets 8, 9, and the length of the rack 3 can be selected arbitrarily. A washing machine 1 is attached to this rack 3. A generally cylindrical cleaning body 7 extending in the horizontal direction (left side in FIG. 1) is fixed to the drive shaft 6 of the washer 1, and a switch provided outside the housing 1a of the washer 1 is connected to the drive shaft 6 of the washer 1. The cleaning body 7 rotates around the axis by the operations A and B. Switch A is a switch for changing the rotational speed of a drive source 26 of the washing machine 1, which will be described later.
This is a switch for switching the rotation of the motor between the forward direction and the reverse direction, and is connected to a transmission device and a switching device (not shown), respectively. The switch B is connected to a cord C extending from the housing 1a, and is configured so that the user can operate it by hand.

2 is an exploded perspective view of the section of FIG. 1; FIG. The flexible cleaning body 7 has a generally cylindrical shape, and a flexible bristle brush, sponge, or the like is used for its outer peripheral surface 7b. The cleaning body 7 has an insertion hole 1 having an inner diameter approximately equal to the outer diameter of the drive shaft 6.
2 is formed in the axial direction. Such a cylindrical cleaning body 7 is fitted onto the drive shaft 6, and a latch 13 provided at one end 7a (right side in FIG. 2) of the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning body 7 is connected to one end 14 (the second right side of the figure)
It is latched to the latch holder 14 of. In this way, the cleaning body 7 is fixed to the drive shaft 6.

A cover 10 is provided behind the cleaning body 7 fitted to the drive shaft 6 (at the rear in FIG. 2). The cover 10 has a semicircular cross section, and the housing 1a
The cleaning member 7 extends in the axial direction from the cleaning member 7 . With this cover 10, when the cleaning body 7 rotates around the axis, bubbles and the like on the cleaning surface 7b will not scatter and stain the wall. Outside the axis of this cover 10 (second
A cylindrical recess 17 parallel to the axis is formed at one end 10a (on the left in the figure). A holding member 19 is attached to this recess 17. The holding member 19 is a pillar 20
is bent into an L-shape, and an inward bearing 25 is provided at the tip of the bent portion 23. The support 20 of the holding piece 19 is fitted into the recess 17 of the cover 10, and one end of the spring 22 that wraps around the outer peripheral surface of the support 20 is connected to the support 2.
0, and the other end is supported in the spring receiving part 18 of the recess. Inward bearing 25 of holding piece 19
is fitted into one end 6b (left side in FIG. 2) of the drive shaft 6, and supports the drive shaft 6 which is rotated. The holding piece 19 attached to the cover 10 in this manner is configured to be able to rotate about its axis with the support 20 as the central axis, thereby making it possible to attach and detach the cleaning body 7 to the drive shaft 6. Become free. A reinforcing piece 11 extending from the housing 1a is fixed to the upper end of the cover 10 to prevent the cover 10 from shaking due to the rotation of the washing body 7.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the inside of the housing 1a.
A motor capable of forward and reverse rotation is used as the drive source 26 of the washing machine 1, and a bevel gear 27 connected to an output shaft 37 of the drive source 26 meshes with a bevel gear 28 connected to the drive shaft 6. The drive shaft 6 has one end 6a supported by a bearing (not shown) inside the housing 1a via a bearing 30 installed on the inner wall of the housing 1a, and the other end 6b is supported by a bearing 25 of the holding piece 19 shown in FIG. Therefore, it is supported. Drive shaft 6
A worm 29 connected to the bevel gear 28 meshes with a worm gear 32 connected to a rotating shaft 31 that is perpendicular to the axis of the drive shaft 6 . Worm gear 32
A pinion 33 is connected to the housing 1a, and the pinion 33 meshes with the rack 3 passing through the upper and lower portions of the housing 1a. Note that both ends 38 and 39 of the rotating shaft 31 are respectively supported by bearings (not shown) inside the housing 1a.

When the motor 26 is rotated in the forward direction by operating the switch B shown in FIG.
8 to the drive shaft 6, whereby the cylindrical cleaning body 7 fixed to one end of the drive shaft 6 rotates around its axis. At the same time, the rotational driving force of the worm 29 provided on the drive shaft 6 is transmitted to the rotation shaft 31 via the worm gear 32. Rotating axis 3
1 rotates the pinion that engages with the rack 3, which causes the housing 1a to engage the rack 3.
rise along the Further, when the motor 26 is rotated in the opposite direction by operating the switch B, the output shaft 37, the drive shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 31 are all rotated in the opposite direction, whereby the housing 1a is lowered along the rack. do.

As described above, the human body washing machine 1 according to the present invention can wash a human body with a simple switch operation, and the switch B for raising and lowering the washing machine 1 along the rack 3 can be detached from the housing 1a. This makes it easier to operate the switch when washing the back etc. Furthermore, by operating the switch A which can reduce the rotational speed of the motor 26 as a drive source, even elderly people and children can use the machine 1 with peace of mind. Further, since the washer 1 is attached to the rack 3 and does not require any equipment below it, the detergent and foam washed off fall directly onto the floor and flow away, making it extremely hygienic. Furthermore, the housing 1a of the washer 1 has a built-in rechargeable battery 34, and is sealed with a cap 36 fitted with a rubber ring 36, so that detergent, moisture, etc. are prevented from entering. Since the motor 26 as a drive source is operated by the rechargeable battery 34 in this manner, wiring in the bathroom is not required, and therefore the washing machine of the present invention can be easily and economically installed.

Note that the shape of the cleaning body 7 is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, it may be a cleaning body made of a disc-shaped elastic body. This embodiment is shown in FIG. The end 6b of the drive shaft 6 of the washing machine 1 which can be raised and lowered along the rack 3
A circular support plate 40 is provided on a plane perpendicular to the axis. This support plate 40 and a roughly disc-shaped cleaning body 41 are fixed together with an adhesive. A flexible cleaning surface 42 is formed on one end surface 42 on the front side of the cleaning body 41, and the human body can be cleaned by rotating the cleaning body 41 around its axis. Note that urethane rubber or the like is used as the material for the cleaning surface 42.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically wash the back, chest, etc. with a simple configuration, and it is also possible to easily replace the washing body that has become soiled or deteriorated over a long period of use. , the present body washing machine can be used practically.
