Abstract (en)

A sterilizing water dispensing apparatus (100), and a bidet and toilet seat having the same are disclosed. The sterilizing water dispensing apparatus (100) includes: an inlet to which sterilizing water is introduced; a cylindrical vortex production chamber that generates a vortex in the sterilizing water introduced through the inlet; and a dispensing hole disposed at the center of the bottom of the vortex production chamber and dispensing the vortex-produced sterilizing water in the vortex production chamber to an inner wall of the toilet. Because sterilizing water is dispensed in the form of fine particles with a relatively large surface area, the sterilizing water is brought into contact with a larger area of an inner wall of a toilet, so a sterilizing effect can be enhanced with a small quantity of sterilizing water.
