Sanitary washing apparatus

摘要

A sanitary washing apparatus includes a washing nozzle (410) configured to discharge wash water toward a human body part, the washing nozzle including: a water supply path (411) configured to pass the wash water; an orifice (413) configured to direct the wash water passed through the water supply path toward the human body part; a throat (417) provided on a trajectory connecting the orifice and the human body part; a mixing chamber (415) provided on a downstream side of the orifice and on an upstream side of the throat, an area of a cross section of the mixing chamber perpendicular to a discharge direction of the wash water being larger than an area of a cross section of the orifice perpendicular to the discharge direction; and an air intake portion (423) configured to take air into the mixing chamber by a negative pressure generated by wash water flowing from the orifice toward the throat, a return flow being generated in the mixing chamber by wash water flowing out from the orifice and having a flow direction changed by a wall face of the mixing chamber, the air sucked into the mixing chamber via the air intake portion being mixed into the return flow as an air bubble, the return flow mixed with the air joining wash water flowing from the orifice toward the throat and being discharged from the throat.
