評である。Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote-controlled (remotely) operable human body local cleaning apparatus. 2. Description of the Related Art As shown in JP-A-60-184136 and FIG. 6, a human body local cleaning apparatus 1 comprises a toilet bowl 3 fixed to a floor 2 and a box-shaped washing water tank (cistern) 4 behind the toilet bowl 3. , A washing device main body 5 in front of the tank 4, and a toilet seat 6 on the toilet bowl 3. The toilet 3 is provided with a nozzle for discharging cleaning water at an appropriate temperature and a drying air discharge port for sending drying air at an appropriate temperature to the cleaned human body. Further, the tank 4 is provided in the cleaning device body 5.
A heater for adjusting the temperature of the washing water from the heater to an appropriate temperature, a dryer for adjusting the temperature of the air to the human body, a pump for pumping the washing water to the nozzle for discharging the washing water, and a device for controlling the same. The control device in the cleaning device main body 5 has a light receiving unit that receives a light (generally, infrared) signal from the remote control unit 7 provided on the toilet wall, and operates the heater and the dryer in accordance with the received light signal. The remote control control means 7 provided on the toilet wall includes a washing water discharge switch, a dry air discharge switch, a water temperature, a water amount, a blast temperature,
And a knob or switch for adjusting the amount of air blow, and an optical signal emission port for transmitting an optical signal determined by operating the switch and the knob. The light signal from the light signal emission port is received by the light receiving unit of the cleaning device main body 5 and sends necessary cleaning water and wind to the human body local part. The upward optical signal from the remote control unit 7 is reflected on the toilet ceiling or the upper reflector of the remote control unit 7, changes its direction, and is received by the light receiving unit on the top wall of the cleaning device main body 5. . Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention The conventional remote control means is fixed to a toilet wall within a range where the right hand can reach when an average-sized adult sits on the toilet seat. Therefore, for example, a left-handed person has difficulty in the operation, and for a handicapped person,
In some cases, the operation of the remote control unit becomes impossible, so that the human body has to be cleaned for local cleaning. In addition, the child's hand does not reach the remote controller control means, and there has conventionally been a trouble that the parent's power is required every time a toilet is used. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described disadvantages of the related art. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention basically requires that at least two light emitting portions whose optical axes are substantially orthogonal to each other, the width of which is equal to or larger than the width of the foot of a general user. Provided is a human body cleaning apparatus comprising a remotely located control means having spaced switches and a device for hanging on a wall. According to the present invention, the remote control device can be fixed to the toilet wall, placed on the toilet floor, and freely held by the user. The remote control device is disposed at a position desired by the user, and is necessary for local cleaning. It is possible to send a simple instruction signal. Embodiment An example of a human body local cleaning apparatus to which the present invention can be applied is basically the same as the example shown in FIG. 6, and therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted here. I do. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. The remote control means 7 'has two light emitting portions 8a and 8b whose optical axes are substantially orthogonal to each other, and has on its surface a switch 9 for hot water, a switch 10 for hot air, and a switch 11 for adjusting the temperature thereof. , Has 12. The back surface of the remote control means 7 'forms a groove 14 with opposing pieces 13 which can be engaged with a hook on the toilet wall. The internal mechanism of the remote control means 7 'uses the same mechanism as before except that one light emitting unit is added. A light emitting unit 15 for receiving an optical signal from the remote control unit 7 'is provided at an appropriate position of the cleaning device main body 5. The usage example shown in FIG. 3 is a usage example in which the remote control means 7 'is suspended on the right or left toilet wall, and is substantially the same as the conventional usage in which the remote control means 7' is locked at a position desired by the user. In the example of use shown in FIG. 4, the remote control unit 7 'is placed on the toilet floor 2, the light signal from the remote control unit 7' is reflected on the toilet ceiling, and the light signal is received by the light receiving unit 15 of the cleaning device main body 5. Operations. Since the size between the switches 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the remote control unit 7 'is set to be equal to or greater than the average width of the foot, the remote control unit 7'
There is no erroneous operation caused by turning on an unnecessary switch even if is operated with a foot, and only a desired switch can be operated. The example shown in FIG.
By operating each switch by hand, an optical signal is transmitted from the light emitting unit 8a, reflected from the ceiling, received by the light receiving unit 15 of the cleaning device main body 5, and the designated operation is performed. Effects According to the present invention, since the arrangement position of the remote controller control means does not matter, the user can freely select it. This is very popular with clean enthusiasts, for example, because it is possible to prepare remote control means for each family member, for visitors and individuals, and to allow their own use.
