Abstract

A bidet body that includes at least one of a drying nozzle and a cleaning nozzle moving in one of a forward and downward direction and an upward and backward direction, and a bottom surface of a cover that constitutes an exterior of the bidet body may be flat.

Claims (22)

1. A bidet body in which at least one of a drying nozzle and a cleaning nozzle moving in one of a front-downward direction and rear-upward direction is installed, wherein the bidet body comprises:

a cover having a flat bottom surface and constituting an exterior of the bidet body;

a nozzle cover installed on the bottom surface of the cover and formed at a position where a movement path of the drying nozzle and the cleaning nozzle overlaps with the bottom surface of the cover; and

a cover cleaning unit configured to spray cleaning water toward the nozzle cover,

wherein the nozzle cover rotates downwardly as the drying nozzle and the cleaning nozzle move front-downward.

2. The bidet body of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle cover comprises:

a first nozzle cover connected to the bottom surface; and

a second nozzle cover having a rear end connected to the first nozzle cover.

3. The bidet body of claim 2 , wherein a front end and both side ends of the second nozzle cover are free from the first nozzle cover.

4. The bidet body of claim 3 , wherein the second nozzle cover is formed at a position where a movement path of the drying nozzle and the cleaning nozzle and the bottom surface of the cover overlap.

5. The bidet body of claim 3 , wherein the first nozzle cover and the second nozzle cover are connected to each other by a first elastic member.

6. The bidet body of claim 2 , wherein the nozzle cover is separably installed on the bottom surface of the cover.

7. The bidet body of claim 2 , wherein the cover cleaning unit comprises:

a first accommodating portion to which a first cleaning flow path is connected and which extends downward;

a second accommodating portion connected to a lower side of the first accommodating portion and having a space larger than that of the first accommodating portion; and

a cover cleaning unit including a cover cleaning nozzle installed inside the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion.

8. The bidet body of claim 7 , wherein the cover cleaning unit comprises:

a sealing member, which is installed in the first accommodating portion and through which a second cleaning flow path communicating with the first cleaning flow path is formed; and

a moving member, which is installed in the second accommodating portion and in which a reservoir communicating with the second cleaning flow path is formed.

9. The bidet body of claim 8 , wherein an outer diameter of the sealing member is the same as an inner diameter of the first accommodating portion, and an outer diameter of the moving member is the same as an inner diameter of the second accommodating portion.

10. The bidet body of claim 8 , further comprising a second elastic member connecting the sealing member and the moving member to each other, wherein, when a certain amount or more of fluid is stored in the reservoir, the moving member is spaced apart from the sealing member.

11. The bidet body of claim 10 , wherein an outlet of the reservoir is formed on one side surface facing the nozzle cover of the moving member.
