(54) SANITARY CLEANING DEVICE


(57) A sanitary washing device comprising:
a nozzle device (800) for jetting washing water;
a washing water supply passage (900) for supplying the washing water to the nozzle device (800); and
a control part (130), wherein
the washing water supply passage (900) includes
a water pump (516) for supplying washing water to the nozzle device (800),
a heat exchanger (700) arranged upstream of the water pump (516) and heating the washing water,
an atmosphere open port (603) arranged upstream of the heat exchanger (700) and opening a portion of the washing water supply passage (900) to the atmosphere,
a sub tank (600) for maintaining the washing water supply passage (900) to the water pump (516) at an atmospheric pressure, and
a water supply connecting port (510) arranged most upstream of the washing water supply passage (900) and being connected to a water pipe, wherein
the sub tank (600) includes a water level detection sensor (620) for detecting a water level of the washing water stored in the sub tank (600),
the water level detection sensor (620) includes a common electrode (621) and a plurality of water level electrodes (622) on an inner surface of the sub tank (600),
the control part (130) is configured to apply a direct current (DC)
between the common electrode (621) and the plurality of water level electrodes (622) thus detecting a water level based on a change in voltage, and
the common electrode (621) and the plurality of water level electrodes (622) are arranged on different surfaces.
