The present invention relates to an electronic bathtub for bathing or wellness with a bathtub body, with a water inlet conduit and with a drain conduit.

In bathtubs of the type described above, bath water is manually introduced through the water inlet pipe into the bathtub, after the drain line has been manually closed. The drain line is closed as a general rule because the user closes a floor drain of the bathtub. A filling valve is then opened by operating a mixer tap and water is conducted from a hot water supply line and a cold water supply line through the water inlet pipe in the bathtub.

15 The temperature of the bath water is also regulated by the user manually, specifically by adjusting the mixer tap so that a certain ratio of hot water supplied is adjusted with respect to cold water supplied. As a general rule, the user must adapt this relationship several times during the filling of the bathtub to obtain the desired temperature.

If the bath has the level of filling desired by the user, then the user must manually terminate the fresh water supply by closing the filling valve in time when the mixer tap is operated.

In addition, additives are added manually to the bath water by the user, for example bath additives such as sparkling bath products or aromatic substances.

25 If the bathing process is finished, the user must also manually open the drain pipe or the drain valve to evacuate the used bath water inside the pipe.

Finally, a cleaning of the bathtub can be carried out by manually operating the hand shower, if necessary by applying cleaning means.

The previously described use of a bathtub is relatively complicated and time consuming. In addition, the user must regularly observe the operation of filling the bath with respect to the level of filling and the water temperature and, if necessary, intervene in a regulatory manner.

Correspondingly, heating for premises can also be provided as a means for the regulation of the ambient temperature. In this way it is possible to adjust the ambient temperature so that a user feels pleasant while taking a bath. In particular, it is conceivable that the ambient temperature is adjusted according to the water temperature and preferably before taking a bath by the electronic control system. Also in this case it is conceivable that the ambient temperature is adjusted completely automatically or semi-automatically. A fully automatic adjustment, as may also be the case with the other control units, is possible, for example, when the user only carries out a key press or a person identification on the actuator, in particular by reading

65 of a fingerprint or other identification, after which in addition to the remaining operating parameters the room temperature is also adjusted individually.

The following describes possible configurations of the medium or the means for regulating the humidity of the air.

Thus, it is conceivable that a humidity sensor 5 of the air is provided as a means for regulating the humidity of the air.

In particular, in the connection to building systems engineering, an economic filling is achieved with respect to energy efficiency and taking into account aspects of water saving. Safe protection is also provided against overflow of bath contents. Finally, protection against cooling of the bath water can also be carried out by means of permanent subsequent heating until a previously selected water temperature is obtained.

There is now a plurality of possibilities to configure and improve the bathtub for bath or wellness according to the invention. For this, reference is made, for example, to the dependent claims of claim 1, on the other hand to the description of an embodiment in relation to the drawing.

In the drawing, the only figure schematically shows an example of an electronic bath or bathtub according to the present invention.

The bath or wellness bathtub shown has a bathtub body 1, a water inlet duct 2 and a drain duct 3. Basically the bathtub is filled with fresh water through the inlet duct of water 2 with the duct drain 3 closed until a desired maximum filling level is reached, as well as in the state of the art. After the bath, the drain pipe 3 is opened and the used bath water is evacuated.

In addition, the electronic bathtub for bath or wellness has an electronic control system 4 that is used for automatic adjustment of operating parameters, as well as at least one unit 5 connected to the electronic control system 4 for the regulation of one of the parameters of functioning. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the regulation unit 5 has means for regulating the amount of water, means for the

5 regulation of the water temperature, means for regulating the degree of fouling of water as well as means for regulating the degree of fouling of the bathtub body and the user.

The electronic control system 4 is connected, wirelessly through a radio connection 6a and wired through a line 6b, with the respective regulating unit 5 and with a multi-piece drive device 7 so that the respective control unit or the individual components thereof that will still be described below are activated or operated completely automatically by the electronic control system or semi-automatically by a user in case the device is operated drive.

15 The electronic control system 4 is connected to a power supply block 26 and a bus system 27 of a building systems engineering.

A filling valve 9, made in this case as a mixing valve 15, serves to close a fresh water supply conduit 8 having a hot water supply conduit 16a and a cold water supply conduit 16b. The filling valve 9 is regulated by the electronic control system 4 if necessary.

To the filling valve 9 is connected downstream a means of measuring the flow 10 which transmits data corresponding to the current flow to the electronic control system 4. Fresh water is conducted, after having passed through

25 the flow measurement means 10, through a filling plug 14 in the upper area of the bathtub body 1 or the water inlet duct 2 inside the bathtub body 1. Before filling it is closed, also by the electronic control system 4, the drain valve 11, in which case it is a two-way valve. The filling valve 9 or the mixing valve 15 is adjusted by the electronic control system 4 in such a way that the amount of hot water supplied and the amount of cold water supplied have a certain ratio, so that a water temperature determined.

After reaching a certain maximum filling level, a filling level sensor 12 with an integrated overflow 13 sends a signal to the electronic control system 4, after which the filling valve 9 is closed, thereby filling the bathtub body 1 is finished.

35 During the bath a temperature sensor 17 measures the temperature continuously or at regular intervals and sends a corresponding signal to the electronic control system 4. The temperature sensor 17 is integrated in this respect into the drain line 3 on the floor of the bathtub body 1. Once the measured water temperature falls below a certain threshold value, the electronic control system 4 opens the drain valve 11 so that a part of the bath water is conducted through a circulation duct 18 in which a heating unit 19 is integrated. A pump 20 causes water circulation in this respect.

A cleaning unit 21 is also integrated in the circulation line 18, which in this case is configured as a filter, through which dirt particles from the bath water are filtered during the process of

45 bath

After the desired temperature has been reached by a subsequent heating through the heating unit 19, the electronic control system 4 closes the drain valve 11 again or turns off the heating unit 19. Therefore it is also conceivable that the drain valve 11 is adjusted so that water circulation can continue to be carried out through the circulation line 18, although only for the purpose of cleaning the water. The heating unit 19 is only on when the bath water must be subsequently heated.

After the bathing process, the user can do it by means of the drive device 7, which in this case has a device 24a for wall mounting and a device 24b for mounting on the bathtub body 1,

55 that the electronic control system 4 opens the drain pipe 3 or the drain valve 11, so that the used bath water is taken into the pipe. In this regard, the device 24a can also be fixed outside the bathroom and operated from there.

It is also possible to make the electronic control system 4 increase the water temperature or the amount of water through the drive device 7. Also the cleaning unit 20 can be operated by it.

For handling, the drive device 7 has a keyboard 22 and an indication device 21 in the form of an LCD screen, in which case the indication device 21 is also suitable for

65 text indication in clear language. In addition, the drive device 7 has a means 23 for the identification of persons, in the case specifically represented a reader device for fingerprints. In this way an automatic adjustment of operating parameters can be adjusted individually with respect to a particular user through the electronic control system.

5 Finally, the bath or wellness bathtub according to the invention also has a shower 25 which in the unused state is embedded in an opening in the bathtub body 1. At the request of the user, for example by operating the keyboard 22 of the device Actuation 7, the shower 25 can be deployed and activated. After the use of the shower 25, in the case shown, it is recessed completely automatically in the opening provided for it in the bathtub body 1.
