Publication number: 20230407616Abstract: A sanitary washing device includes a nozzle, a heat exchanger, a cold water flow channel, a switching element, a control board, a heat transfer plate, and a casing. The heat exchanger uses alternating current power to heat the wash water supplied to the nozzle. The cold water flow channel supplies the wash water to the heat exchanger from a water supply source. The switching element switches a supply state of the alternating current power to the heat exchanger. A controller is mounted to the control board. The controller is operated by direct current power. The controller controls the switching element. The heat transfer plate is configured to dissipate heat of the switching element. The switching element is mounted to the control board. The cold water flow channel includes a cooling part. The cooling part water-cools the heat transfer plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Saki YAMAMURA, Shuhei HAYATA, Tomonori SUZUKI, Takakuni YOSHIDA

Patent number: 10272451Abstract: To provide a spout apparatus which is easily maintainable by a user even when, in a fluid device utilizing Karman vortices, scale adheres to the Karman vortex generating portion. A spout apparatus for discharging hot or cold water while causing it to reciprocally oscillate, having a spout apparatus body and an oscillating element; whereby the oscillating element has a water supply passage, a vortex generating passage, and a spout port passage; the spout port passage is formed of an elastically deformable soft member and is attached to the spout apparatus body so that a user can manipulate the spout port passage to deform it; and the vortex generating passage is formed of an elastically deformable soft member, and is integrally formed with the spout port passage so that deformations of the spout port passage can be transmitted to this vortex generating passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: TOTO LTD.Inventors: Kiyotake Ukigai, Katsuya Nagata, Masateru Miyazaki, Yutaka Aihara, Shuhei Hayata, Kei Watanabe, Nao Tanizaki, Hiroshi Nishijima

Patent number: 10071386Abstract: To provide a spout apparatus whereby expansion and deformation of the inner wall surface of the vortex generating portion such that a desired Karman vortex cannot be generated are prevented, even when the port portion is formed of an elastically deformable soft member. A spout apparatus for discharging hot or cold water with reciprocal motion, having a spout apparatus body and a vortex generating passage; whereby the oscillating element has a supply passage, a vortex generating passage, and a spout port passage, and the spout port passage is formed by an elastically deformable soft member, and is attached to the spout apparatus body so that a user can manipulate and deform the spout port passage, and the vortex generating passage is formed so as not to expand and deform even if internal pressure rises due to the supply of hot or cold water from the supply passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: TOTO LTD.Inventors: Kiyotake Ukigai, Katsuya Nagata, Masateru Miyazaki, Yutaka Aihara, Shuhei Hayata, Kei Watanabe, Nao Tanizaki, Hiroshi Nishijima
