In addition, a cleaning system that can automatically clean a bathtub and a washing place has been proposed. As shown in FIG. 4, a detergent is sprayed from a detergent nozzle (detergent spraying means) 4 using a pump (detergent spraying means) 3 to spray detergent onto a bathtub 2 provided in the bathroom 1. Sprinkle on the entire surface to lift the tub 2 dirt. Then, it is the structure which sprinkles water as a shower with the water discharge nozzle (sprinkling means) 5, and wash | cleans dirt and a detergent component (for example, refer patent document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-216068

  However, the above-described configuration requires a detergent spraying means for spraying the detergent liquid and a watering means for spraying clean water for washing away dirt and detergent components.

  These devices are designed to move and rotate the pumps that apply pressure to each liquid and the spray ports for the entire spray in order to spray detergent and clean water evenly in the bathtub or the entire bathroom. Considerable equipment such as equipment and each pipe is required. In addition, the control becomes complicated.

  In addition, since the detergent spraying means sprays a detergent liquid with a considerably large particle diameter from the spray port, the detergent liquid has a direction of scattering, and there is a problem that it is difficult to spray evenly in the bathtub or the entire bathroom. .

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and injects and fills a high concentration of an atomized detergent solution into a bath as an object to be cleaned or the entire bathroom, and uses the chemical power of the detergent solution. By washing the object to be washed, the bathtub can be washed with a small amount of clean water, detergent liquid and electric power. In addition, the highly atomized detergent liquid of the present invention has a relatively small particle size and floats in the air, so that it can wrap around and adhere to any place. It aims at providing the washing | cleaning apparatus of the bathroom which wash | cleans a bathtub and a bathroom by cheap structure.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has an atomizer arranged so as to inject a mist containing a detergent component into a bathtub provided in a bathroom.

  Thereby, the inside of a bathtub can be wash | cleaned easily. This is done by injecting a mist containing a detergent component into the sink and filling it up so that the mist containing the detergent component adheres to the object to be cleaned, such as the bathtub or bathroom. Due to the chemical power of the detergent, dirt adhering to the object to be cleaned is raised and easily peeled off the object to be cleaned. In this state, the raised dirt can be removed by spraying a shower of clean water from above.

  Here, when the mist having a very small particle diameter containing the detergent component adheres to the dirt, a hole is made in the dirt, and the detergent component can be inserted into the dirt. Therefore, since the detergent component can be used effectively at the boundary between the dirt and the object to be cleaned, the effect of raising the dirt is greater than applying a normal detergent solution. In particular, it is very effective against oil stains that form a film.

  Here, when the mist containing the detergent component is described, it can be generated by atomizing a small amount of detergent liquid with an ultrasonic vibrator. Therefore, cleaning can be performed with a very small amount of electric power without using a large amount of water and without heating.

  In the cleaning device of the present invention, an atomizing device is arranged so as to inject a mist containing a detergent component into a bathtub or the entire bathroom as an object to be cleaned. The washed object can be cleaned with a small amount of water and electric power by injecting and filling the high-concentrated detergent solution and washing the washed object using the chemical power of the detergent solution.

  1st invention arrange | positions the atomization apparatus so that the mist containing a detergent component may be inject | poured in the bathtub provided in the bathroom, and atomizes a small amount of detergent liquid with an ultrasonic transducer | vibrator. As a result, a mist containing a detergent component can be generated and injected into the bathtub. By cleaning the inside of the bathtub using the chemical power of the detergent solution, the object to be cleaned can be cleaned with a small amount of water and electric power.

  2nd invention arrange | positions the atomization apparatus which generate | occur | produces the quantity that the mist containing a detergent component fills the bathtub in the said 1st invention, and also in order to wash | clean the whole inside of a bathtub, Since it is effective to fill the inside sufficiently, the inside of the bathtub can be efficiently cleaned.

  3rd invention arrange | positions the atomization apparatus which generate | occur | produces the quantity which the mist containing a detergent component fills the whole bathroom in the said 1st invention, and also in order to wash | clean the whole inside of a bathroom Since it is effective to sufficiently fill the inside, the inside of the bathtub can be efficiently cleaned.

  4th invention has the water supply injection means for injecting a shower after filling the mist containing a detergent component in the said 1st-3rd invention, The mist containing a detergent component After the dirt is lifted from the object to be cleaned, the dirt can be easily removed by spraying a shower.

  A fifth invention is the above first to fourth inventions, in which an atomizing device is arranged so as to inject a mist containing a detergent component into a bath or the entire bathroom at a predetermined time. If you drive the atomizer every night at the predetermined time after the last person takes a bath, you can use the mist containing the detergent component when no one is present and leave dirt in the bathtub or the entire bathroom. it can. This is because the mist containing the detergent component is very light, so that the floating state is changed only by the movement of a person, and the mist containing the necessary detergent component can be prevented from being lost. In addition, it is possible to keep the inside of the bathtub or the whole bathroom in a clean state by washing it every day.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the first to fifth aspects of the invention, the atomizing device includes an atomizing vibrator and a container in which a liquid is sealed on a vibration surface side of the atomizing vibrator. The atomizing liquid outside the container is atomized via the liquid and the container. By preventing the atomizing vibrator from directly touching the detergent liquid, various detergent liquids can be used. Even in well water that is used or has a large amount of scale, it does not directly affect the surface of the atomizing vibrator, so that certain components and minerals of the detergent do not affect its operation. The atomization of the liquid which is the purpose of (1) can be stably performed over a long period of time.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a bath cleaning device incorporating an atomizing device for generating mist containing a detergent component in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an atomization generating unit that generates mist containing detergent components of the cleaning device.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the mist 7 containing the detergent component is generated by the atomization generation unit 6 for the bathtub 2 provided in the bathroom 1 so that the mist 7 containing the detergent component can be injected. It is composed.

  The specific structure of the atomization generation part 6 arrange | positions the atomization apparatus 8 in the bottom part of the atomization generation part 6, as shown in FIG. Above the atomizing device 8, a detergent solution is stored here as a liquid reservoir 9. In order to make the detergent liquid, the top surface of the atomization generating unit 6 is opened by the user as a charging lid 10 for charging the detergent, and the detergent is input to the liquid reservoir 9 from here.

  In order to make a detergent solution and atomize it, it is important to make the detergent solution at an appropriate water level. Therefore, a water supply valve 11 and a water level sensor (not shown) for branching from the water and automatically supplying the water are arranged so that an appropriate amount of water can be supplied to the liquid reservoir 9. .

  Next, the atomizing device 8 includes a container 8b in which a liquid 8a is enclosed, and an atomizing vibrator 8c that is disposed at the bottom of the container 8b and includes an ultrasonic vibrator. The top surface 8d of the container 8b facing the atomizing vibrator 8c is a vibration propagated from the atomizing vibrator 8c through the liquid 8a when the atomizing vibrator 8c is driven. It becomes a vibrating surface that vibrates. The top surface 8d is made of a resin that is not affected by the components of the detergent solution and easily vibrates.

  The operation | movement and effect | action for generating the mist 7 containing the detergent part in the atomization generation part 6 by the atomization apparatus 8 in the said structure are demonstrated.

  First, the user inputs the detergent from the insertion lid 10. When the power is turned on and started, a detergent solution with an appropriate water level is made by the water supply valve 11 and the water level sensor.

  Next, when the atomizing vibrator 8c is driven, the vibration of the atomizing vibrator 8c is propagated to the top surface 8d through the liquid 8a, the top surface 8d vibrates, and the detergent liquid on the top surface 8d is atomized. The mist 7 containing the detergent component is generated.

  Here, the detergent should just select the detergent for bathtubs appropriately. If bleaching is desired, a bleaching agent may be used.

  In addition, since it is scattered and floated as mist 7 containing detergent components, it is diluted with a small amount of clean water, so that the amount of detergent to be used increases extremely even if the concentration is higher than the concentration originally explained. It is not difficult to handle. In addition, a high concentration is often effective for cleaning. Here, if it is a liquid detergent and can be atomized, a stock solution of the detergent may be used.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the upper side of the atomizing vibrator 8c of the atomizing device 8 simply touches the liquid 8a enclosed in the container 8b, so that the surface of the atomizing vibrator 8c is touched. Does not come in direct contact with the detergent solution. Therefore, even if the atomizing device 8 is mounted so that the top surface 8d made of a material having no problem with respect to various chemical components faces the detergent liquid, the atomizing vibrator 8c fails or is atomized. It is possible to atomize stably over a long period of time without affecting the operation of the vibrator 8c for use and causing a significant decrease in the amount of atomization.

  In addition, even when water with very high hardness such as well water is used for the water to be used, inorganic components may adhere to the surface of the atomizing vibrator 8c or affect its operation. In addition, the liquid atomization, which is the original purpose, can be stably performed over a long period of time.

  Next, the configuration around the bathtub 2 will be described. An atomization generating unit 6 and a water supply valve 11 communicated with the bathtub 2 are arranged. Further, after spraying the mist 7 containing the detergent component, water supply spraying means 12 for spraying a shower for washing away the dirt is also arranged.

  The water supply injection means 12 includes an injection water supply valve 12a for branching from the water supply and controlling the injection, an injection nozzle 12b for actually injecting the bathtub 2, and its piping. Moreover, the control means 13 for controlling the atomization apparatus 8 and the water supply injection means 12 is also arrange | positioned.

  The operation and action of these configurations will be described.

  First, when the bathtub 2 is washed, the charging lid 10 on the atomization generating unit 6 is opened and a predetermined amount of detergent is charged. After introducing the detergent, the atomizer 8 is driven to generate the mist 7 containing the detergent components. The generation amount of the mist 7 containing the detergent component at this time is assumed to have the generation amount ability to sufficiently fill the bathtub 2. A mist 7 containing a detergent component is attached to all parts of the bathtub 2 that is the object to be cleaned. Even the very light mist containing the detergent component settles gradually, so that the mist device 8 containing the detergent component is always filled in the bathtub 2 and the atomizer 8 is driven intermittently thereafter. deep. Then, the detergent component acts on the dirt of the bathtub 2 and is left until the dirt rises from the bathtub 2.

  Next, it is necessary to wash away the raised dirt by shower spray. By using a plurality of water supply spraying means 12 arranged at appropriate positions in the bathtub 2, water is poured into the bathtub 2 to wash away dirt. In this way, the inside of the bathtub 2 can be easily cleaned.

  Moreover, by installing a reservation function in the control means 13, the bathtub 2 can be automatically cleaned at a predetermined time. The amount of the necessary detergent liquid is stored in the atomization generating unit 6 in advance, and the atomization device 8 and the water supply / injection means 12 are operated at a predetermined time after the normal user uses the bath. Thereby, the bathtub 2 can always be cleaned and kept in a clean state without any effort.

  Here, although the washing | cleaning apparatus as all-automatic is demonstrated with respect to the washing | cleaning of the bathtub 2, what is difficult by the washing | cleaning of the bathtub 2 is that a person rubs and cleans the inside of the bathtub 2 using a detergent. In the cleaning apparatus according to the present invention, the mist 7 containing the detergent component is generated, and the cleaning apparatus until the dirt in the bathtub 2 is lifted up. Since the inside can be cleaned, there is a sufficient merit. Further, the structure of the water supply / injection means 12 for washing away the dirt is complicated in order to wash the whole well, and thus the cleaning device that only generates the mist 7 containing the detergent component is cheaper and easier to handle. be able to.

  As mentioned above, in this Embodiment, the atomizer 8 is arrange | positioned so that the mist 7 containing the detergent component fully filled in the bathtub 2 may be inject | poured, and it may become dirt in the bathtub 2. On the other hand, after adhering the detergent component with the mist 7 containing the detergent component, it is allowed to stand, and the dirt in the bathtub 2 is washed away by the water supply jet means 12 in a state where the dirt is floated by the chemical action of the detergent. Cleaning can be performed.

  The particle diameter of the mist 7 containing the detergent component was confirmed by experiments by the inventors, and it was preferable for the cleaning effect to be in the micron order with the distribution center being about several μm. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a bathroom cleaning apparatus incorporating an atomizing device 8 for generating a mist 7 containing a detergent component in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 3, the mist generation unit 6 generates mist 7 containing a detergent component in the bathroom 14 so that the mist 7 containing the detergent component can be injected into the bathroom 14.

  The specific configuration of the atomization generation unit 6 is the same as that in the first embodiment. However, since the space for cleaning is very large compared to the bathtub, the capacity of the atomizing device 8 needs to be larger than that of the first embodiment.

  Further, since the mist 7 containing the detergent component settles as described above, a circulation fan (not shown) is used to adhere uniformly to the entire bathroom 14.

  In addition, the water supply injection means 12 and the control device (not shown) have the same configuration as in the first embodiment, but these also make the number of injection nozzles appropriate or moveable so as to wash a wide part. The dirt in the bathroom 14 can be washed away efficiently.

  Since the operations and effects of these configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment for the cleaning, the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the atomizing device 8 is arranged so as to inject the mist 7 containing the detergent component that is sufficiently filled in the bathroom 14, so that the dirt in the bathroom 14 is removed. On the other hand, after adhering the detergent component with the mist 7 containing the detergent component, it is left to stand, and the dirt in the bathroom 14 is washed away by the water supply jet means 12 in a state where the dirt is floated by the chemical action of the detergent. Cleaning can be performed.

  As described above, the cleaning device according to the present invention has an atomizing device arranged so as to inject a mist containing a detergent component into a bathtub or a bathroom as an object to be cleaned. Since it can be washed, it can be widely applied to bathtubs or bathrooms.
