Flow system for bidets

Abstract

There is provided a flow system for bidets capable of feeding room-temperature raw water to a sterilizer. The flow system for bidets comprises a flow path change valve changing flow paths so that raw water flowing from a raw water supply unit flows through at least one out of a plurality of flow paths; a sterilizer coupled to an outlet side of the flow path change valve to generate nozzle-cleaning water containing an antibacterial and/or disinfectant substance from the fed raw water; a heating member coupled to the outlet side of the flow path change valve to heat the fed raw water; and a nozzle unit coupled to the sterilizer and the heating member, the nozzle unit having at least one nozzle installed therein for feeding nozzle-cleaning water or hot water. The flow system for bidets may be useful to improve the use efficiency of hot water and cold water since the raw water of adequate temperature may be feed to components of a bidet by disposing a flow path change valve in the front end of a heating member.

1 . A flow system for bidets, comprising:
 a flow path change valve changing flow paths so that raw water flowing from a raw water supply unit flows through at least one flow path out of a plurality of flow paths;   a sterilizer coupled to an outlet side of the flow path change valve to generate nozzle-cleaning water containing an antibacterial and disinfectant substance from the fed raw water;   a heating member coupled to the outlet side of the flow path change valve to heat the fed raw water; and   a nozzle unit coupled to the sterilizer and the heating member, the nozzle unit having at least one nozzle installed therein for feeding nozzle-cleaning water or hot water.   
     
     
         2 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 1 , further comprising a divergence valve disposed between the heating member and the nozzle unit so that the hot water discharged from the heating member flows through one nozzle out of a plurality of nozzles installed in the nozzle unit. 
     
     
         3 . A flow system for bidets, comprising:
 a sterilizer generating nozzle-cleaning water containing an antibacterial and disinfectant substance;   a heating member heating a raw water;   a nozzle unit having at least one nozzle installed therein for feeding the nozzle-cleaning water generated in the sterilizer or hot water heated in the heating member; and   a flow path change valve coupled to an inlet side of the sterilizer and the heating member to selectively feed the raw water flowing in from the raw water supply unit to the sterilizer or the heating member, and coupled to an outlet side of the heating member to feed the hot water heated in the heating member to the nozzle unit in order to change the flow paths.   
     
     
         4 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 1 , wherein the flow path change valve shuts off the flow path coupled to the heating member when the raw water flowing in from the raw water supply unit is discharged to the sterilizer. 
     
     
         5 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 3 , wherein the flow path change valve shuts off the flow path coupled to the sterilizer and engagedly opens the flow path coupled to an inlet side and the outlet side of the heating member and the flow path coupled to the nozzle unit when the hot water is allowed to flow through the nozzle unit. 
     
     
         6 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 5 , wherein the nozzle unit comprises a plurality of nozzles, and the flow path change valve changes the flow paths so that the hot water flowing in from the heating member is selectively discharged through one nozzle out of the plurality of nozzles. 
     
     
         7 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 1 , wherein the antibacterial and disinfectant substance comprises mixed oxidants generated by electrolysis. 
     
     
         8 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 1 , wherein the antibacterial and disinfectant substance comprises iodine or silver oxide. 
     
     
         9 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 3 , wherein the flow path change valve shuts off the flow path coupled to the heating member when the raw water flowing in from the raw water supply unit is discharged to the sterilizer. 
     
     
         10 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 3 , wherein the antibacterial and disinfectant substance comprises mixed oxidants generated by electrolysis. 
     
     
         11 . The flow system for bidets of  claim 3 , wherein the antibacterial and disinfectant substance comprises iodine or silver oxide.
