Abstract

Provided is a hand washing device with which malfunctions of a washing liquid dispenser can be prevented during hand washing without the need for a complex device structure. A hand washing device 1 comprises: a water discharger 10 that discharges water or hot water when an object is detected; and a washing liquid dispenser 20 that dispenses a washing liquid. The water discharger 10 includes: a water discharge port 12 ; a water discharge sensor 11 that detects an object within a detection range; and a water discharge control unit 16 that controls the discharge/cutoff of water or hot water from the water discharge port 12 on the basis of a detection signal of the water discharge sensor 11 . The washing liquid dispenser 20 includes: a dispensing port 22 ; a washing liquid dispensing sensor 21 that detects an object within a detection range; and a washing liquid dispensing control unit 28 that controls the dispensing/cutoff of the washing liquid from the dispensing port on the basis of a detection signal of the washing liquid dispensing sensor. A sensor direction Y 2 , which is an emission direction of emission light that is emitted from the washing liquid dispensing sensor 21 , is inclined further downward than a discharge direction X 1 of water or hot water that is discharged from the water discharge port 12.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . A hand washing device comprising:
 a water discharger that discharges water or hot water when an object is detected; and   a washing liquid dispenser that dispenses a washing liquid when an object is detected,   wherein the water discharger includes:   a water discharge port disposed on a tip side;   a water discharge sensor that detects an object within a detection range; and   a water discharge control unit that controls the discharge/cutoff of water or hot water from the water discharge port on the basis of a detection signal of the water discharge sensor,   wherein the washing liquid dispenser includes:   a dispensing port disposed on a tip side;   a washing liquid dispensing sensor that detects an object within a detection range; and   a washing liquid dispensing control unit that controls the dispensing/cutoff of the washing liquid from the dispensing port on the basis of a detection signal of the washing liquid dispensing sensor, and   wherein a sensor direction, which is an emission direction of emission light that is emitted from the washing liquid dispensing sensor, is inclined further downward than a discharge direction of water or hot water that is discharged from the water discharge port.   
     
     
         6 . The hand washing device according to claim  1 , wherein an emission portion of the washing liquid dispensing sensor is disposed closer to a back side than the water discharge port of the water discharger. 
     
     
         7 . The hand washing device according to claim  1 , wherein an angular difference between a sensor angle and a water discharge angle is 10° to 40° when an inclination angle of the sensor direction with respect to a horizontal direction is the sensor angle and an inclination angle of the discharge direction with respect to the horizontal direction is the water discharge angle. 
     
     
         8 . The hand washing device according to claim  2 , wherein an angular difference between a sensor angle and a water discharge angle is 10° to 40° when an inclination angle of the sensor direction with respect to a horizontal direction is the sensor angle and an inclination angle of the discharge direction with respect to the horizontal direction is the water discharge angle. 
     
     
         9 . The hand washing device according to claim  1 , wherein the water discharge control unit and the washing liquid dispensing control unit are disposed separately from each other. 
     
     
         10 . The hand washing device according to claim  2 , wherein the water discharge control unit and the washing liquid dispensing control unit are disposed separately from each other. 
     
     
         11 . The hand washing device according to claim  3 , wherein the water discharge control unit and the washing liquid dispensing control unit are disposed separately from each other. 
     
     
         12 . The hand washing device according to claim  4 , wherein the water discharge control unit and the washing liquid dispensing control unit are disposed separately from each other.
