The present invention is a water spouting apparatus () that discharges water with reciprocal motion, and has a water spouting apparatus body () and a oscillation generating element (). The oscillation generating element includes a water supply conduit (), a collision part () that generates a vortex on the downstream side, a vortex street conduit () provided downstream of the water supply conduit, and a discharge conduit that discharges water guided by the vortex street conduit. The vortex street conduit is configured by connecting the upstream member () on which the upstream side is formed and the downstream member () on which the downstream side is formed. At the connection between the upstream and downstream members, the height of the vortex street at the upstream end of the downstream member (H) is higher than the height (H) of the vortex street at the downstream end of the upstream member.

Water spouting apparatus

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 seat device includes a toilet seat, a sterilizer, a sprayer, a blower, and a controller. The sterilizer generates sterilizing water. The sprayer sprays a mist of the sterilizing water. The blower generates a rising air stream. The controller controls the sprayer to execute first and second processes and cause a total amount of the mist sprayed in the first process to be less than that in the second process. The first process and the second process are executed at different timing. The first process includes controlling the blower to generate a first rising air stream capable of lifting the mist toward the toilet seat. The second process includes the blower not generating the first rising air stream and not lifting the mist toward the toilet seat.

Toilet seat device and toilet device

According to one embodiment, a toilet seat device includes a toilet seat, a sterilizer, a sprayer, a blower, and a controller. The sterilizer generates sterilizing water. The sprayer sprays a mist of the sterilizing water into a flush toilet. The blower generates a rising air stream. The controller controls the sprayer to simultaneously generate first and second mists in a state in which the blower generates a first rising air stream. The first mist has a particle size liftable toward the toilet seat by the first rising air stream. The second mist is generated to have a particle size larger than that of the first mist and not to be lifted toward the toilet seat by the first rising air stream. The sprayer causes a total amount of the first mist to be less than that of the second mist.

According to one embodiment, a toilet device includes a flush toilet, a toilet seat, a sterilizer, a sprayer, and a controller. The flush toilet includes a bowl and a rim. The sterilizer generates sterilizing water. The sprayer sprays a mist of the sterilizing water onto the bowl, the rim, and the toilet seat. The controller controls the sprayer to cause an average wetting amount per unit area at the toilet seat and the amount per unit area at an upper surface of the rim each to be smaller than the amount per unit area at the bowl and smaller than the amount per unit area at an inner wall surface of the rim for one time of performing a mist mode to spray the mist of the sterilizing water onto the bowl, the rim, and the toilet seat.
