Description:
BIDET SYSTEM ENABLING THE BIDET NOZZLE TO BE CLEANED AFTER THE USE

Subject of the Invention

The invention relates to a bidet system wherein the bidet nozzle which comes out of the body during the use is enabled to be cleaned before it returns into the body after the use.

State of the Art

The cleansing after the use of a toilet is of great importance from the perspective of personal hygiene. A bidet apparatus opening into the toilet bowl is present for this purpose in the toilets frequently used today. The water is supplied for use via said bidet apparatus and the user is enabled to perform the personal cleansing. According to the state of the art, said bidet apparatus is most of the time fixed on the toilet and is not able to move depending on the use. Accordingly, the bidet nozzle, which opens into the toilet bowl and which is exposed to the contaminants both during and after the use, becomes contaminated and leads to some hygiene problems. For this reason, the movable bidet systems, which open into the toilet bowl only when they are to be used and move away from the toilet bowl at the end of use, have been developed with the advancing technology. These are mostly the systems integrated with the toilet seat lid and they return, following the use, into the body from which they emerge. Even though the contamination of the bidet apparatus is minimized with said systems, the bidet apparatus still become contaminated. The contaminated bidet apparatus transmit said contamination into the body as they move back into said body after the use and thus lead to some hygiene problems.

With the system according to the invention, the bidet nozzle which comes out of the body during the use is enabled to be cleaned before it returns into the body after the use and thus it is made possible to prevent the likely hygiene problems. Object of the Invention

An object of the invention is to develop a system wherein the bidet nozzle which comes out of the body during the use is enabled to return into the body after being cleaned subsequent to use.

Another object of the invention is to develop a system wherein the contaminants on the bidet nozzle are enabled to be scraped off before the bidet nozzle returns into the body.

Another object of the invention is to develop a system wherein the component enabling to scrape off the contaminants on the bidet nozzle is washed with water.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The invention relates to a bidet system wherein the bidet nozzle (3) which comes out of the body (1) during the use is enabled to be cleaned before it returns into the body (1) after the use. More particularly, the invention relates to a system comprising at least one cleaner (5), which surrounds the bidet nozzle (3) and prevents the contaminants on the bidet nozzle (3) from being carried into the body (1) as said bidet nozzle (3) enters the body (1), wherein the cleaner (5) may be preferably washed with water automatically.

The system according to the invention comprises

• at least one bidet nozzle (3), which enables the water to be conveyed to the user for the purpose personal cleaning, extends into the toilet bowl when it is to be used and returns to its initial position at the end of use,

• at least one body (1), on which the bidet nozzle (3) is positioned, and/or at least one body cover (2), which has at least one bidet nozzle opening (21) permitting the bidet nozzle (3) to enter and exit, and

• at least one cleaner (5), which enables the bidet nozzle (3) to be cleaned as it moves in and out of its position in the body (1) and/or the body cover (2).

A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises at least one bidet nozzle bearing (4), which enables the bidet nozzle (3) to be fixed on the body (1) in such a way that it will be able to protrude into the toilet bowl and move back into to the body cover (2) through the bidet nozzle opening (21).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cleaner (5) has at least one bidet nozzle hole (51), through which the bidet nozzle (3) is able to pass. Said bidet nozzle hole (51) is a bidet nozzle hole (51), which, although not preventing the bidet nozzle (3) from moving inside it, contacts the surfaces of the bidet nozzle (3) while the bidet nozzle (3) moves inside it. In other words, the bidet nozzle (3) passes through the bidet nozzle hole (51) in such a way that no gap remains between the two and that the cleaner (5) contacts the bidet nozzle (3). As a result of the movement of the bidet nozzle (3) inside the bidet nozzle hole (51) of the cleaner (5), the contaminants on the bidet nozzle (3) are retained by the cleaner (5) while the bidet nozzle (3) enters the body (1) and the contaminants are thus prevented from being carried into the body (1).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said cleaner (5) is a hollow gasket.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cleaner (5) is positioned on the bidet nozzle opening (21) of the body cover (2). Thus, the bidet nozzle (3) exits via the bidet nozzle opening (21) of the body cover (2) such that it will pass through the bidet nozzle hole (51) of the cleaner (5) and it returns into the body (1) in the same manner.

A preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one, preferably more than one, water spray nozzle (23), which enables the cleaner (5) and/or the bidet nozzle (3) to be cleaned by way of spraying pressurized water onto the same. A preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one, preferably more than one, water spray nozzle (23), which enables the contaminants building up on the cleaner (5) as a result of the movement of the bidet nozzle (3) inside said cleaner (5) to be removed from said cleaner (5). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said water spray nozzles (23) are located on the body cover (2), preferably in the bidet nozzle opening (21). A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises the water spray nozzles (23), which are disposed in the bidet nozzle opening (21) and at certain intervals along said bidet nozzle opening (21) in a number sufficient to surround the cleaner (5) and thus enable the cleaner (5) to be effectively cleaned as a result of the water spray applied.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the water sprayed onto the cleaner (5) from the water spray nozzle (23) is transferred into the toilet bowl and is subsequently delivered to the wastewater installation via the flushing system of the toilet. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the body cover (2) has at least one water drainage section (24), which enables the water sprayed from the water spray nozzle (23) to be drained into the toilet bowl.

A preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one bidet nozzle opening cap (22), which covers the bidet nozzle opening (21) and thus terminates the connection between the bidet nozzle (3) and the toilet bowl after the bidet nozzle (3) enters the body cover (2). The bidet nozzle opening cap (22) is a bidet nozzle opening cap (22), which is positioned on the bidet nozzle opening (21) such that it may perform the rotational movement about at least one side thereof, thereby opening while the bidet nozzle (3) moves out of the body cover (2) and permitting the movement of said bidet nozzle (3) and closing when said bidet nozzle (3) enters the body (1) and preventing the passage of the contaminants from the toilet bowl.

A preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one control unit, which enables to control the electronically controlled valve and/or pump starting and stopping the movement of the bidet nozzle (3) and/or starting and stopping the water flow and/or the water spray from the bidet nozzle (3) and/or the water spray nozzle (23). While said control unit controls the movement of the bidet nozzle (3) and the water flow from the bidet nozzle (3), it also controls the water flow from the water spray nozzle (23) depending on the movement and/or the position of the bidet nozzle (3). More specifically, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit activates the water flow from the water spray nozzle (23) as the bidet nozzle (3) enters and/or exits the body (1). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit activates the water flow from the water spray nozzle (23) after the bidet nozzle (3) enters the body (1).

The bidet system according to the invention is a bidet system that is integrated with the toilet seat lid and/or the toilet flushing system.
