Disclosed is a hypochlorous acid generating electrode that is substantially free from rhodium, which is comparable in performance to a rhodium-containing electrode and is more durable than the rhodium-containing electrode. The electrode to be used for generating hypochlorous acid by electrolyzing water that contains a chloride ion has excellent hypochlorous acid water generation ability and durability, in which the electrode has an electrode substrate comprising titanium or titanium alloy, and a composite layer that is electrically connected with the electrode substrate and that contains iridium or a compound thereof, tantalum or a compound thereof, and ruthenium or a compound thereof and/or platinum, and does not contain rhodium oxide.

Hypochlorous acid generating electrode

According to an aspect of the present invention, a toilet device includes: a washing unit washing a surface of a bowl in a toilet bowl; a water supplying unit supplying washing water to the washing unit; a silicic acid polymerization inhibiting unit adding inhibitor for silicic acid polymerization to the washing water left on the surface of the bowl after the washing of the bowl, the inhibitor inhibiting polymerization of silicic acid component in the washing water left on the surface of the bowl; and a control portion executing a control starting an operation of the silicic acid polymerization inhibiting unit before the surface of the bowl is evaporated.

Toilet device

According to one embodiment, a toilet device includes a flush toilet, a toilet seat, a spray device, a detecting sensor, and a controller. The flush toilet includes a bowl. The bowl includes a flush region and a non-flush region. The controller executes a pre-mist mode and an after-mist mode. The pre-mist mode includes automatically controlling the spray device, spraying the mist onto the flush region and the non-flush region, and forming a water droplet or a water film by causing the mist to accumulate in the flush region and the non-flush region. The after-mist mode includes automatically controlling the spray device to rinse away the water droplet or the water film formed in the non-flush region in the pre-mist mode by increasing a volume of the water droplet or the water film.

Toilet device and toilet seat device

According to one embodiment, a toilet device includes a flush toilet, a toilet seat, a spray device, a detecting sensor, and a controller. The flush toilet includes a bowl, a rim upper surface, and a water discharge port. The bowl includes a flush region and a non-flush region. The controller executes a pre-mist mode by automatically controlling the spray device to spray the mist into the bowl. In the pre-mist mode, the controller controls the spray device to cause the mist to directly wet a front end part of the non-flush region and to cause an average wetting amount per unit area of the mist directly wetting an upper region of the front end part to be less than an average wetting amount per unit area directly wetting a lower region of the front end part.

A sanitary washing device including: a nozzle discharging water toward a human body private part; a water guide part including a pipe line reaching from a water supply source to the nozzle, and guiding water supplied from the water supply source to the nozzle; a vacuum breaker provided on a path of the water guide part, and taking air into the pipe line when water does not flow in the water guide part; and an ultraviolet irradiation part provided between the vacuum breaker and the nozzle on the path of the water guide part, and including a flow channel flowing water and a light emitting part irradiating ultraviolet rays to the water flowing in the flow channel is provided.
