Abstract (en)

Provided is a hand washing device with which malfunctions of a washing liquid dispenser can be prevented during hand washing without the need for a complex device structure. A hand washing device 1 comprises: a water discharger 10 that discharges water or hot water when an object is detected; and a washing liquid dispenser 20 that dispenses a washing liquid. The water discharger 10 includes: a water discharge port 12; a water discharge sensor 11 that detects an object within a detection range; and a water discharge control unit 16 that controls the discharge/cutoff of water or hot water from the water discharge port 12 on the basis of a detection signal of the water discharge sensor 11. The washing liquid dispenser 20 includes: a dispensing port 22; a washing liquid dispensing sensor 21 that detects an object within a detection range; and a washing liquid dispensing control unit 28 that controls the dispensing/cutoff of the washing liquid from the dispensing port on the basis of a detection signal of the washing liquid dispensing sensor. A sensor direction Y2, which is an emission direction of emission light that is emitted from the washing liquid dispensing sensor 21, is inclined further downward than a discharge direction X1 of water or hot water that is discharged from the water discharge port 12.
