BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet comprising a bidet that comprises a nozzle
assembly that dispenses water to the private parts of a user and a cleaning water
dispensing apparatus for dispensing cleaning water to an inner wall of the toilet.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] A toilet (i.e., a toilet bowel, a chamber pot, etc.) is equipment allowing a user
to be seated to have a bowel movement, and recently, a bidet-equipped toilet has been
widely used for a sanitary purpose. A bidet is a device for dispensing water to cleanse
the private parts of the user after the user relieves himself, having the advantage
of keeping the private parts of the user clean through washing without the use of
paper.
[0003] Commonly, a water tank, a bidet, and a control panel are mounted on the toilet. Upon
completion of a bowel movement, when the user presses a lever, water within the toilet
is flushed out, along with feces, and the toilet is refilled with water from that
contained within the water tank. In addition, when the user operates the bidet by
manipulating the control panel, a nozzle installed within a main body of the bidet
apparatus moves to a front side of the main body of the bidet apparatus to dispense
cleansing water to the private parts of the user.
[0004] With the toilet operating in this manner, if the feces within the toilet are not
entirely flushed out, the feces may be fixedly attached to an inner wall of the toilet.
In addition, because water is always present within the toilet, various microorganisms
may inhabit it and multiply, which is undesirable in terms of sanitation. Thus, the
user must periodically wash the toilet by applying a sterilization solution or cleaning
solution to the interior of the toilet.
[0005] WO 03/102315 discloses a toilet having a bidet comprising a cleaning water dispensing apparatus
for cleaning an inner wall of a toilet and a nozzle assembly for dispensing water
to the private parts of a user. However, not all contaminants, such as feces, are
generally removed from the inner wall of the toilet by the dispensing apparatus disclosed,
which may cause microorganisms to inhabit the toilet and to multiply. The water dispensed
from the cleaning water dispensing apparatus disclosed may further not reach all parts
of the inner wall of the toilet so that not all parts can be cleaned.
[0006] US 2001/022006 A1 discloses a bidet and toilet seat comprising a nozzle pipe washer, and a water tank
and changeover valve for supplying water to the nozzle pipe washer, which has an inlet
for the water. Both spiral and straight bores are provided in the nozzle pipe washer
to provide the water discharged from an ejecting outlet with a spiral component. However,
the nozzle pipe washer of
US 2001/022006 A1 is configured and arranged for cleaning one or more nozzle pipes of the bidet or
toilet seat, which nozzle pipes are provided for cleaning private parts of a user.
Some of the water may come into contact with the inner wall of a toilet, but the nozzle
pipe washer is not intended for cleaning of an inner wall of a toilet onto which the
bidet or toilet seat is provided. The water discharged from the ejecting outlet will
predominantly be forwardly directed along the nozzle pipe washer towards the nozzle
pipes to be cleaned.
[0007] GB 1 562 052 discloses a toilet provided with a rotor assembly forming a washing impeller. The
impeller is fed with water, which is optionally provided with a disinfectant, and
discharges radially-directed jets of water which wash the bowl. The water fed to the
impeller also causes rotation of the impeller by virtue of a thrust imposed by a tangential
component of the force of one or more of the jets. However, the impeller of
GB 1 562 052 is rather complicated to allow rotation and to provide multiple jet outlets, and
will therefore be large in size and bulky. It further will use a large amount of water
to wash the toilet bowl.
[0008] EP 0 000 688 A2 discloses a nozzle for dispensing a fluid under pressure, such as hair spray, deodorant
and odour remover. However, the nozzle receives water from the outlet in lengthwise
direction such that it is not discharged in radial direction towards the wall of the
surrounding nozzle wall forming the vortex production chamber.

of the nozzle assembly, wherein the sterilizing water generating apparatus is connected
to the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus and the nozzle tip cleaning part, and
sterilizing water generated by the sterilizing water generating apparatus is supplied
to the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus or to the nozzle tip cleaning part.
[0023] The sterilizing water dispensing apparatus may be connected to a pump, and sterilizing

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0037] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with
reference to the accompanying drawings. The invention may, however, be embodied in
many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set
forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will
be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those
skilled in the art. In the drawings, the shapes and dimensions may be exaggerated
for clarity, and the same reference numerals will be used throughout to designate
the same or like components.
[0038] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet 10 including a sterilizing water dispensing
apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[0039] With reference to FIG. 1, a bidet 20 is installed at an upper portion of the toilet
10. The bidet 20 includes a main body 30 of the bidet apparatus, and a toilet seat
40 and a toilet cover 50 are hinge-coupled to the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus
such that they are rotatable. The toilet seat 40 has an annular shape to allow a user
to be seated to have a bowel movement, and a heater may be disposed within the toilet
seat 40 to heat the toilet seat 40 to have a temperature comfortable for a user. The
toilet cover 50 is formed to have a shape corresponding to the toilet seat 40 in order
to close the exposed portion of the annular toilet seat 40 when the toilet 10 is not
in use.
[0040] A nozzle assembly 60 and a drying apparatus 70 are installed at an inner side of
the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus. The nozzle assembly 60 includes an anus cleaning
nozzle and a for-women bidet nozzle. The cleaning nozzle and the bidet nozzle are
installed to be movable in a forward direction from the main body 30 of the bidet
apparatus. A nozzle tip having a discharge hole is mounted at a front end portion
of each of the cleaning nozzle and the bidet nozzle to dispense flushing water.
[0041] The drying apparatus 70 includes a blow fan, a blow duct, and a heating unit, and
discharges heated air in a forward direction from the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus.
[0042] A control panel 80 is installed at one side of the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus,
so the user can control the operation of the bidet 20 by using the control panel 80.
Namely, after having a bowel movement, the user may press a cleaning button or a bidet
button. The cleaning nozzle or the bidet nozzle then moves forward to dispense water
to the private parts of the user, and after cleaning, the user may press a drying
button to dispense heated air to remove moisture from the private parts of the user.
[0043] The sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 is installed at a front portion of
the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus. The sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 receives sterilizing water from a sterilizing water generating apparatus, and
dispenses the sterilizing water to an inner wall of the toilet 10 to sterilize the
inner wall of the toilet 10. The sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 is preferably
mounted at the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus such that a dispensing hole is
sloped from a direct downward direction toward a front side of the toilet 10. By making
the dispensing hole positioned at a rear side of the toilet 10 point towards the front
side, sterilizing water can be dispensed evenly on the entire inner wall of the toilet
10. In this respect, in consideration of the general size of the toilet 10 and mounting
position of the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100, the dispensing hole is
preferably installed to be sloped at more than 20 degrees in a forward direction.
Alternatively, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 may be installed to
be movable in a forward direction from the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus like
the bidet nozzle, and in this case, the dispensing hole may not need to be installed
to be sloped toward the front side. Meanwhile, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 may execute a dispensing operation by means of the control panel 80. Namely, a
toilet sterilization button may be provided to the control panel 80, so that when
the user presses the toilet sterilization button, the sterilizing water dispensing
apparatus 100 can dispense sterilizing water.
[0044] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIGs. 3a and 3b
are side sectional views of the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 according
to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a bottom view of
a body part of the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 according to an exemplary
embodiment of the present invention.
[0045] With reference to FIGs. 2 to 4, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 includes
a body part 120 and a nozzle part 140.
[0046] The body part 120 includes a hollow part 121 through which sterilizing water can
flow, an inlet 122 formed at an upper end thereof, and an outlet 123 formed at a lower
portion thereof. Sterilizing water which has introduced through the inlet 122 formed
at the upper end of the body part 120 flows along the hollow part 121 and then is
discharged through the outlet 123.
[0047] The hollow part 121 extends in a lengthwise direction from the upper portion of the
body part 120 to the lower portion of the body part 120, and the outlet 123 extends
in a radial direction from the lower portion of the body part 120 so as to be fluid-connected
with the hollow part 121. Accordingly, the sterilizing water flows from the upper
portion to the lower portion of the hollow part 121 and then is discharged in the
radial direction. A plurality of outlets 123 may be formed along the lower circumference
of the body part 120, and in the present exemplary embodiment illustrated in the drawings,
two outlets 123 are disposed in a facing manner.
[0048] A protruding part 124 is formed at a lower side of the outlet 123, namely, at the
lowermost portion of the body part 120. The protruding part 124 has a diameter larger
than the part the outlet 123 is formed on. The protruding part 124 in a cylindrical
shape has a recessed bottom surface to form a vortex production chamber 130 together
with the nozzle part 140. A guide groove 125 is formed at a side wall of the protruding
part 124 to allow sterilizing water which has been discharged through the outlet 123
to be introduced therein. The guide groove 125, starting from the side wall of the
protruding part 124, extends to the interior of the protruding part 124, and is formed
to point toward a position deviating from the center of the protruding part 124. This
configuration aims to providing a rotational force to the sterilizing water introduced
along the guide groove 125 to thus produce a vortex. The guide groove 125 is formed
such that its width narrows toward the interior from the side wall. Accordingly, the
sterilizing water introduced into the vortex production chamber 130 along the guide
groove 125 can flow at a high pressure and at high speed to produce a strong vortex.
A plurality of guide grooves 125 may be formed, and in the present exemplary embodiment
illustrated in the drawings, two guide grooves 125 are formed in a facing manner.
[0049] A bracket 126 is installed on the body part 120 and coupled to a front portion of
the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus with a screw or the like.
[0050] The nozzle part 140, having a cylindrical shape, is a member coupled to the lower
portion of the body part 120. A dispensing hole 141 is formed at the center of the
bottom of the nozzle part 140. An inner side of the bottom of the nozzle part 140
forms the vortex production chamber 130 together with the recessed portion of the
protruding part 124. An outer portion of the bottom of the nozzle part 140 may be
formed to be tapered such that the thickness increases as it goes away from the dispensing
hole 141. The reason for forming the tapered outer portion of bottom of the nozzle
part 140 is due to the fact that the length (B) of the dispensing hole 141 needs to
be short in order to increase a dispensing angle for dispensing sterilizing water
(to be described) and, in this case, if the thickness of the entire bottom of the
nozzle part 140 is as small as to be equal to the length (B) of the dispensing hole
141, the rigidity of the bottom of the nozzle part 140 weakens, so the length (B)
of the dispensing hole 141 remains short while the thickness of the outer portion
of the bottom of the nozzle part 140 increases toward the outer side.
[0051] The operation method of the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 configured
thusly will now be described.
[0052] Sterilizing water introduced through the inlet 122 at the upper end of the body part
120 passes along the hollow part 121 and is then discharged in the radial direction
of the body part 120 through the outlet 123 provided at the lower portion of the body
part 120. The sterilizing water which has been discharged through the outlet 123 is
introduced into the vortex production chamber 130 along the guide grooves 125 of the
protruding part 124 formed at the lowermost portion of the body part 120. The guide
groove 125 is formed to extend in a direction other than towards the center of the
vortex production chamber 130 from the side wall of the vortex production chamber
130, so the sterilizing water introduced along the guide groove 125 forms a rotating
vortex centered on the center of the vortex production chamber 130. In particular,
because the width of the guide groove 125 is reduced toward the inner side, the sterilizing
water flowing along the guide grooves 125 can flow at a high pressure and at a high
speed to form a strong vortex. In addition, because the plurality of guide grooves
125 are disposed to face each other, vortexes are produced from two places, complementing
each other. The sterilizing water with the vortexes produced in the vortex production
chamber 130 is externally discharged through the dispensing hole 141 disposed at the
center of the bottom of the nozzle part 140. At this time, the externally discharged
sterilizing water, namely, the vortex-formed sterilizing water, passes through the
dispensing hole 141 at a high pressure, to become fine particles being sprayed to
the outer side.
[0053] In this manner, when the sterilizing water is sprayed in the form of fine particles
with a large surface area, the sterilizing water can be brought into contact with
a larger area of the inner wall of the toilet, having the advantage of enhancing the
sterilizing effect even with the small quantity of sterilizing water.
[0054] Meanwhile, in order to spray the sterilizing water to the entire surface of the inner
wall of the toilet 10 by using the single sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100,
it is required to properly set a dispensing angle and a dispensing speed of the sterilizing
water dispensed from the dispensing hole 141. Namely, as the dispensing angle widens
and the dispensing speed becomes high, sterilizing water can be dispensed widely,
and if the dispensing angle is small, the dispensing range is reduced to perform partial
dispensing, while if the dispensing speed is low, the dispensed sterilizing water
could not extend for a desirable distance (i.e., it could not reach sufficiently far).
[0055] Thus, the dispensing angle and dispensing speed of sterilizing water needs to be
increased so that the sterilizing water can be dispensed to the entire surface of
the inner wall of the toilet 10, for which the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 must be thus optimally designed. The inventors of the present invention found
through an experimentation that the height (A) of the vortex production chamber 130,
the length (B) of the dispensing hole 141, the diameter (C) of the dispensing hole
141, and the width (D) of the guide groove 125 are parameters affecting the dispensing
angle and the dispensing speed.
[0056] In order to discover the influence of these parameters on the dispensing angle and
the dispensing speed, the inventors conducted CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) research
with respect to diverse parameter values, the results of which are as follows.

[0057] With reference to the above table, the first case shows the largest dispensing angle
and the highest dispensing speed. In the second case, when the diameter (C) of the
dispensing hole 141 was increased, the dispensing angle was reduced and the dispensing
speed was lowered. In the third case, when the height (A) of the vortex production
chamber 130 was increased, the dispensing angle was reduced and the dispensing speed
was lowered. In the fourth to sixth cases, when the length (B) of the dispensing hole
141 was increased, the dispensing angle was further reduced and the dispensing speed
was further lowered. Consequently, it should be noted that as the parameters A, B,
and C are reduced, the dispensing angle and the dispensing speed are increased, establishing
inverse proportional relationships.
[0058] Based on the results that the dispensing angle and the dispensing speed are inverse-proportional
to the parameter values, in order to determine the upper limits of the parameters
with which the dispensing angle and the dispensing speed can be larger than a certain
value (e.g., the dispensing angle of at least 100 degrees), the inventor of the present
invention conducted actual experimentation, the results of which are shown in the
table below:

[0059] With reference to the second to fourth cases in the above table, it is noted that,
when B, C, and D are the same, the dispensing angle is 100 degrees or greater and
the dispensing range is 90% or greater of the inner wall of the toilet, until when
A is 0.3 mm or smaller, while if A is 0.5 mm, the dispensing angle is 20 degrees or
lower and the dispensing range is smaller than 10%. Thus, in order to make the dispensing
angle 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing range 90% or greater, A must be 0.3
mm or smaller.
[0060] With reference to the second, sixth to eighth cases in the above table, it is noted
that, when A, C, and D are the same, the dispensing angle is 100 degrees or greater
and the dispensing range is 90% or greater of the inner wall of the toilet until when
B is 0.3 mm or smaller, while if B is 0.5 mm or greater, the dispensing angle is 20
degrees or lower and the dispensing range is smaller than 10%. Thus, in order to make
the dispensing angle 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing range 90% or greater,
B must be 0.3 mm or smaller.
[0061] With reference to the second and 12
th to 14
th cases in the above table, it is noted that, when A, B, and D are the same, the dispensing
angle is 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing range is 90% or greater of the
inner wall of the toilet until when C is 1.5 mm or smaller, while if C is 1.7 mm,
the dispensing angle is 20 degrees or lower and the dispensing range is smaller than
10%. Thus, in order to make the dispensing angle 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing
range 90% or greater, C must be 1.5 mm or smaller.
[0062] With reference to the second, 15
th and 16
th cases in the above Table, it is noted that, when A, B, and C are the same, the dispensing
angle is 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing range is 90% or greater of the
inner wall of the toilet until when D is 0.7 mm or smaller, while if D is 1 mm, the
dispensing angle is 20 degrees or lower and the dispensing range is smaller than 10%.
Thus, in order to make the dispensing angle 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing
range 90% or greater, D must be 0.7 mm or smaller.
[0063] With reference to the first case in the above table, it is noted that, when the parameters
of A, B, C, and D are in the smallest range, the dispensing angle is 140 degrees or
greater and the dispensing range is 99% of the inner wall of the toilet. However,
in the fifth, ninth to 11
th, and 17
th to 20
th cases, in which at least one of the parameters of A, B, C, and D exceeds the range,
the dispensing angle is 20 degrees or smaller and the dispensing range is smaller
than 10% of the inner wall of the toilet. For reference, the denotation of an abnormal
water stream refers to a case that water is twisted to be dispensed, having a very
small dispensing range.
[0064] When the above results are put together, in order to obtain the dispensing angle
of 100 degrees or greater and the dispensing range of 90% or greater, the height (A)
of the vortex production chamber 130 must be 0.3 mm or smaller, the length (B) of
the dispensing hole 141 must be 0.3 mm or smaller, the diameter (C) of the dispensing
hole 141 must be 1.5 mm or smaller, and the width (D) of the guide groove 125 must
be 0.7 mm or smaller.
[0065] Meanwhile, the dispensing angle can be increased by reducing the parameters, but
in consideration of molding limitations and costs, the fabrication of a dispensing
hole with the parameters A, B, C, and D of 0.1 mm or smaller is not easy, and if realized,
there is not a great deal of difference in its effects.
[0066] In addition, the above experimental results can be obtained when the pressure of
sterilizing water within the vortex production chamber 130 is 1.2 kg/cm
2 or greater. That is, such large dispensing angle and dispensing range as in the experimental
results cannot be obtained at a lower pressure. In order to maintain the pressure
of the sterilizing water within the vortex production chamber 130 at a certain level
or greater, preferably, the size of the dispensing hole 141 is designed to be smaller
than the inlet 122. In this case, however, sterilizing water having an excessively
high pressure would lead to damage to the components, so the pressure of the sterilizing
water preferably does not exceed 5 kg/cm
2.
[0067] FIG. 5 illustrates the configuration of a water supply system of the sterilizing
water dispensing apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present
invention.
[0068] With reference to FIG. 5, the water supply system is configured to distribute source
water to each element through a flow path control apparatus 300. The source water
may be supplied by a water pipe or a water supply tank 400.
[0069] When the user executes cleaning or the bidet function, the source water is supplied
to the cleaning nozzle 62 or the bidet nozzle 64, and flush water is dispensed through
the nozzle.
[0070] When the user executes a nozzle tip cleaning function, the source water is supplied
to the sterilizing water generating apparatus 200, in which the source water becomes
sterilizing water. The sterilizing water is supplied to a nozzle tip cleaning part
66. The sterilizing water of the nozzle tip cleaning part 66 is applied to the nozzle
tip, and the nozzle tip is sterilized.
[0071] When the user executes a toilet cleaning function, the source water is supplied to
the sterilizing water generating apparatus 200, in which the source water becomes
sterilizing water. When a desired quantity of sterilized water is generated with the
lapse of a certain period of time, a pump 240 connected with the sterilizing water
generating apparatus 200 operates to allow the sterilizing water to be introduced
into the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100. The sterilizing water introduced
into the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 is dispensed to the inner wall
of the toilet 10, sterilizing the toilet 10. The process of dispensing the sterilizing
water in the spray form by the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 is as described
above.
[0072] When the nozzle tip is to be cleaned, a small quantity of sterilizing water is simply
allowed to flow to the nozzle tip under the pressure of the source water without using
a pump, but when the toilet is to be sterilized, the sterilizing water must be sprayed
across the entire inner wall of the toilet, so a pump is driven to spray the sterilizing
water. In this case, however, as stated above, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention sprays the sterilizing
water in the form of fine particles, only a small quantity of sterilizing water (e.g.
, about 50 ml of sterilizing water) is required to sterilize the entire inner wall
of the toilet. Thus, the use of a low capacity pump is sufficient and, for example,
a low-noise high-lift diaphragm type pump may be employed.
[0073] FIG. 6 illustrates a different type of pump 240 according to an exemplary embodiment
of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 6, the pump 240 includes a deceleration
gear part 242 coupled to an electric motor 241 and having a plurality of gears to
decelerate a rotational speed of the electric motor 241, and a plurality of link members
243 having one side coupled to the deceleration gear part 242 and make a joint movement.
The pump 240 further includes a pumping unit 244 provided at the other side of the
link member 243 and making a reciprocal movement according to the joint movement of
the link member 243. The pumping unit 244 instantly pumps sterilizing water from the
sterilizing water generating apparatus 200 while making the reciprocal movement, and
supplies it to the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100. In this manner, when
the sterilizing water is supplied by instantly applying pressure to the sterilizing
water dispensing apparatus 100, the sterilizing water which has passed through the
sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 can be sprayed as particles in a fine size
through the dispensing hole 141.
[0074] The sterilizing water generating apparatus 200 may use an electrode-type module that
generates a sterilization material (mixed oxide: MO) from water itself by using an
electric force and a ruthenium oxide catalyst electrode. The generation of sterilizing
water according to the electrode method is a known art, so a detailed description
thereof will be omitted.
[0075] A reactive material adding unit 220 may be connected to an inflow side of the sterilizing
water generating apparatus 200. The reactive material adding unit 220 may add a reactive
material to water introduced into the sterilizing water generating apparatus 200 to
increase the amount of a sterilizing material generated in the sterilizing water generating
apparatus 200. Solid NaCl may be used as the reactive material.
[0076] The reactive material is accommodated within the reactive material adding unit 220,
mixed with water introduced to the interior of the reactive material adding unit 220,
and then introduced to the sterilizing water generating apparatus 200. The sterilizing
water generating apparatus 200 applies electricity to the NaCl-mixed water to generate
HOCL
- or OCL
- ions, a sterilizing material. Besides NaCl, chlorine-based material, silver oxide,
iodine-based material, and the like, may be introduced into the sterilizing water
generating apparatus 200.
[0077] FIG. 7 illustrates the dispensing of sterilizing water to the inner wall of the toilet
by the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment
of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
100 attached to the front portion of the main body 30 of the bidet apparatus sprays
sterilizing water at a wide dispensing angle to apply the sterilizing water to the
entire surface of the inner wall of the toilet 10.
[0078] Meanwhile, in the exemplary embodiment as described above, the sterilizing water
dispensing apparatus 100 and the sterilizing water generating apparatus 200 are installed
at the bidet 20, but without being limited thereto, they may be installed at the toilet
seat 40 and used. That is, the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus 100 and the
sterilizing water generating apparatus 200 may be installed at a rear portion of the
toilet seat 40, and likewise as in the case where they are installed at the bidet
20, preferably, the dispensing hole 141 is installed to be sloped forwardly at 20
degrees or greater from the direct downward direction. In addition, because electricity
is not generally supplied to toilet seat 40, the sterilizing water generating apparatus
200 that generates sterilizing water according to a solution method.
[0079] A product manufactured by combining the sterilizing water dispensing apparatus to
a toilet seat can be advantageously used for those users who want a toilet sterilization
function although they do not use a bidet.
[0080] As set forth above, according to exemplary embodiments of the invention, 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.
[0081] In addition, because sterilizing water can be dispensed to the entire surface of
the inner wall of the toilet with a single sterilizing water dispensing apparatus
by increasing a dispensing angle and dispensing speed of sterilizing water, the configuration
can be simple and the cost can be reduced.
