Description

本発明は、くつろいで入浴できるような照明が可能となった浴室照明装置に関するものである。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bathroom lighting device that enables lighting so that a user can relax and take a bath.

従来から浴槽内の水面に浮遊させる浴槽照明器具が特許文献1により知られている。この浴槽照明器具は、浴槽内の水面に浮遊させて、水面よりも上方の空間を照明するようになっている。このように水面よりも上方の空間を照明するに当って、赤色発光ダイオード、青色発光ダイオード、緑色発光ダイオードの各発光を組み合わせて、赤色、橙色、黄色、緑色、水色、青色、紫色の光色を順番に循環させて光色を変化する光色変化パターンで水面よりも上方の空間を照明し、これにより浴槽の水面よりも上方の空間を光の三原色を使ったカラフルな光で照明するようになっている。   Conventionally, a bathtub illuminator that floats on the water surface in a bathtub is known from Patent Document 1. This bathtub illuminator is suspended on the water surface in the bathtub to illuminate a space above the water surface. In this way, when illuminating the space above the water surface, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple light colors are combined by combining the red light emitting diode, blue light emitting diode, and green light emitting diode. In order to illuminate the space above the surface of the water with a light color change pattern that changes the light color by circulating in order, so that the space above the surface of the bathtub is illuminated with colorful light using the three primary colors of light It has become.

上記特許文献1に示された従来例にあっては、浴槽の水面より上方の空間を光色がカラフルに変化する光色変化パターンで照明するものであるが、以下の理由によりリラックスした入浴は期待し難い。   In the conventional example shown in Patent Document 1 above, the space above the water surface of the bathtub is illuminated with a light color change pattern in which the light color changes colorfully. It's hard to expect.

すなわち、浴槽の水面よりも上方の空間を光色がカラフルに変化する光色変化パターンで照明するため、水面よりも上方の空間、つまり浴室内空間がカラフルに変化する光色変化パターンで直接照明されることになり、しかも、浴槽照明器具が浮遊するため、照明光が浴室空間内で不規則に動くことになる。このように光色がカラフルに変化する光が浴室空間内で不規則に動いて浴室内空間を直接照明するものであるから、この光色が変化する直接光による光刺激で楽しい雰囲気を演出して、光色が変化する直接光による光刺激を楽しみながら遊び気分で入浴することを目的としているにすぎず、リラックスした入浴をしたい人にとっては、上記従来例における光色が変化する直接光による光刺激は、刺激が強すぎて、リラックスした入浴の支障となる。   In other words, since the space above the water surface of the bathtub is illuminated with a light color change pattern in which the light color changes colorfully, direct illumination with a light color change pattern in which the space above the water surface, that is, the space in the bathroom changes colorfully Moreover, since the bathtub luminaire floats, the illumination light moves irregularly in the bathroom space. In this way, light with colorfully changing light colors irregularly moves in the bathroom space and directly illuminates the bathroom space. Therefore, a pleasant atmosphere is produced by light stimulation with direct light that changes the light color. For those who want to take a relaxing bath while enjoying light stimulation with direct light that changes light color, and for those who want to take a relaxing bath, the light color in the above conventional example changes with direct light. Light stimulation is too intense and interferes with relaxing bathing.

また、上記従来における光の三原色を使った光色カラフルに変化する照明は、赤色、橙色、黄色、緑色、水色、青色、紫色の光色を順番に循環させて光色を変化させて楽しみながら入浴するものであり、刺激的な色である赤色も入浴者により光刺激を与えて楽しい雰囲気にするという意味では必要である。しかしながら、入浴してリラクスしようとしている人にとって、光の3原色のうち、赤色の光色は入浴者にとって刺激が強すぎてリラックスの妨げとなり、この点でも従来例においてはリラックスした入浴が期待できない。特に、上記従来例においては赤色、橙色という赤色系の光色を経て黄色の光色に変化するため、赤色系の光色による照明が続き、この赤色系の光色の残像が残ったまま黄色の光色に変化するため、黄色の光色も赤色系の光色に連続したものとして認識され、よりいっそう入浴者にとって刺激が強すぎる。   In addition, the conventional lighting that uses the three primary colors of light to change in a colorful manner is to enjoy the light color by changing the light color of red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue and purple in order. Bathing is a bath, and the red color, which is an exciting color, is also necessary in the sense that it provides a pleasant atmosphere with light stimulation by the bather. However, for those who are going to relax by taking a bath, among the three primary colors of light, the red light color is too irritating for the bather and hinders relaxation, and in this respect as well, relaxing bathing cannot be expected in the conventional example. . In particular, in the above-described conventional example, the red light color such as red and orange changes to a yellow light color, so that the illumination with the red light color continues, and the afterimage of the red light color remains yellow. Therefore, the yellow light color is recognized as being continuous with the red light color, and is much more irritating for bathers.

そこで、赤色系の光を使わないで青色系、緑色系の光色を順番に循環させて照明することが考えられるが、これだと光色のカラフル感に乏しく、カラフルな循環照明が実現できない。
特開2004−281186号公報
Therefore, it is conceivable to illuminate blue and green light colors in order without using red light, but this makes the light color colorful and lacks colorful circulation illumination. .
JP 2004-281186 A

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、入浴者に対して強い刺激とならない幻想的なカラフルな水中照明ができて、従来の入浴では得られないリラックス感が得られる浴室照明装置を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can provide fantastic colorful underwater lighting that does not cause strong irritation to bathers, resulting in a feeling of relaxation that cannot be obtained by conventional bathing. It is an object to provide a bathroom lighting device.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る浴室照明装置は、浴槽2の水中を照明する水中照明器具3aを備え、水中照明器具3aに、緑色発光体、青色発光体、赤色発光体を備えた光源部4を設け、光源部4における上記3種類の発光体の各発光を組み合わせて調色することで、緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるカラフル循環発光モードで照明するように制御する制御部5を備え、上記カラフル循環発光モードにおいて、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系の光色を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化する際、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系としてピンク色の光色に変化し、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するように制御することを特徴とするものである。   In order to solve the above problems, the bathroom lighting device according to the present invention includes an underwater lighting fixture 3a that illuminates the underwater of the bathtub 2, and the underwater lighting fixture 3a includes a green light emitter, a blue light emitter, and a red light emitter. By providing a light source unit 4 and performing color matching by combining each light emission of the above three types of light emitters in the light source unit 4, a green light color, a green and blue intermediate color light color, a blue light color, A control unit 5 is provided for controlling to illuminate in a colorful circulation light emission mode in which light colors of blue and red intermediate colors, red light colors, and green and red intermediate colors are sequentially circulated to emit light, In the above-mentioned colorful circulation light emission mode, when changing from a light color of blue and red to a light color of green and red through a light of red light, the light of the intermediate color of blue and red is changed to red. As a light system, it changes to a pink light color. It is characterized in be controlled to change to green and red neutral system light color through the white light from the color.

このような構成とすることで、水中照明器具3aにより浴槽2内の浴水自体を照明して、浴槽2内の浴水自体が色発光するという幻想的な雰囲気の浴水中に身体を浸けてリラックスして入浴することができ、また、従来のように水面より上方の空間を直接照明するもののように身体の一部の水面から露出した部分を直接色照明しないので、身体の一部の水面から上に出ている腕、胸、頭部、顔等が直接赤色や緑色や青色、あるいは紫色等の光で照されて赤色や緑色や青色、あるいは紫色等に染まることがなく、違和感なく幻想的な浴水中に浸かってリラックスした入浴ができる。また、緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるので、光の3原色系の光色、各中間色系の光色を順番に循環させてカラフルな水中照明ができ、よりいっそう浴水自体を幻想的に色発光させることができる。   By having such a configuration, the bath water itself in the bathtub 2 is illuminated by the underwater lighting fixture 3a, and the body is immersed in the bath water in a fantastic atmosphere in which the bath water itself in the bathtub 2 emits color light. It is possible to relax and take a bath, and since the part exposed from the surface of the body is not directly color illuminated like the conventional one that directly illuminates the space above the surface of the water, The arm, chest, head, face, etc. coming out from the top are directly illuminated by light such as red, green, blue, or purple and do not stain red, green, blue, or purple. You can soak in a relaxing bathing bath. Also, green light colors, green and blue light colors, blue light colors, blue and red light colors, red light colors, and green and red light colors. Since the light is circulated in order, the light colors of the three primary colors and the light colors of each intermediate color can be circulated in order to produce colorful underwater illumination, and to make the bath water itself more fantastically illuminate. Can do.

しかも、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系の光色を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化する際、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系としてピンク色の光色に変化し、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するように制御するので、赤色系の光色としては、赤色の原色は使わず入浴者に対する刺激が比較的少ないピンク色のみを使用することになり、赤色の原色が入浴者に与える刺激を無くすことができる。また、赤色系の光色として使用するピンク色の発光の後に、直ぐ、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化すると、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色による発光の際、入浴者にとっては赤色系の色であるピンク色の残像が残っているため、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色が赤系の色の連続として感じられて、リラックスした入浴の妨げとなるが、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するので、白色光への変化で赤色系の色であるピンク色の残像を消去し、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化した際に、赤色系の光色が連続する感じを受けないようにでき、赤色系の光色が連続することによる入浴者に対する刺激をできるだけ少なくすることができる。   Moreover, when changing from a light color of an intermediate color system of blue and red to a light color of an intermediate color system of green and red through a light color of a red light system, the light color of the intermediate color system of blue and red is changed to pink as a red light system. It is controlled so that it changes from a light color of pink to a light color of intermediate color between green and red through white light, so the red light color is not used as a primary light color. Only the pink color with relatively little irritation to the person is used, and the irritation given to the bather by the red primary color can be eliminated. Also, immediately after the pink light emission used as the red light color, if it changes to the light color of the green and red intermediate color system, for the bather to emit light by the light color of the green and red intermediate color system, Since the afterimage of pink, which is a red color, remains, the light color of green and red is felt as a continuation of the red color, which hinders relaxing bathing, but the pink light Since the color changes from white light to green and red intermediate color, the change to white light erases the pink afterimage, which is a red color, and changes to green and red intermediate color. When changed, it is possible to prevent the red light color from being continuously felt, and the irritation to the bather due to the continuous red light color can be minimized.

これにより、浴槽2内の浴水自体を光色がカラフルに変化する照明により幻想的に色発光させることができると共に、入浴者への刺激をできるだけ少なくしてリラックスした入浴が可能となる。   Thereby, while the bath water itself in the bathtub 2 can be light-emitted fantastically by the illumination whose light color changes colorfully, relaxing bathing is possible with as little stimulus to the bather as possible.

本発明にあっては、浴室における浴槽内の浴水を入浴者に対して強い刺激とならない幻想的なカラフル照明ができて、従来の入浴では得られないリラックス感が得られる。   In the present invention, fantastic colorful lighting that does not cause strong stimulation to the bather in the bath water in the bath can be achieved, and a relaxed feeling that cannot be obtained by conventional bathing is obtained.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

図1乃至図8には本発明の一実施形態が示してある。浴室1の壁6の上部又は天井部7には浴室1内空間を直接照明するための主照明器具8が設けてあり、本発明においては、この浴室1内空間を直接照明する主照明器具8だけでなく、浴室1内に設けた浴槽2には浴槽2内の浴水を照明するための水中照明器具3aが設けてあり、また、浴室1の壁6の上下方向の略中間位置(浴槽2の上端よりもやや上方位置)には壁面付近を間接照明するための壁面間接照明器具3bが設けてある。   1 to 8 show an embodiment of the present invention. A main lighting fixture 8 for directly illuminating the interior space of the bathroom 1 is provided on the upper part or the ceiling portion 7 of the wall 6 of the bathroom 1. In the present invention, the main illumination fixture 8 for directly illuminating the interior space of the bathroom 1. In addition, the bathtub 2 provided in the bathroom 1 is provided with an underwater lighting device 3a for illuminating the bath water in the bathtub 2, and a substantially intermediate position in the vertical direction of the wall 6 of the bathroom 1 (the bathtub A wall surface indirect lighting device 3b for indirectly illuminating the vicinity of the wall surface is provided at a position slightly above the upper end of 2.

図1には上記実施形態のブロック構成図が示してあり、浴室1内に設置した操作器9に設けた各操作釦を操作することで制御部5により水中照明器具3a、壁面間接照明器具3b、主照明器具8を制御するようになっている。図中20はメインスイッチであって、浴室1の外(脱衣室)に設けてある。   FIG. 1 shows a block configuration diagram of the above embodiment. By operating each operation button provided on the operation device 9 installed in the bathroom 1, the controller 5 controls the underwater lighting device 3a and the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b. The main lighting fixture 8 is controlled. In the figure, 20 is a main switch, which is provided outside the bathroom 1 (dressing room).

主照明器具8としては白熱灯や蛍光灯が使用されるが、白熱灯の場合は調光可能とすることで浴室1内空間の明るさを自由に変えることができる。図1、図2には調光可能な主照明装置8の例が示してある。   An incandescent lamp or a fluorescent lamp is used as the main lighting fixture 8, but in the case of an incandescent lamp, the brightness of the space in the bathroom 1 can be freely changed by making the light control possible. 1 and 2 show an example of the main lighting device 8 capable of dimming.

水中照明器具3aは、平面視略長方形状をした浴槽2の長手方向に沿った浴槽壁2aに設けてあって、長手方向に沿った一方の浴槽壁2a側に設けた水中照明器具3aからの発光した光が、浴槽2に入浴した人に遮られることなく長手方向に沿った他方の浴槽壁2a側に向けて水中照明できるようになっている。すなわち、図3に示すように浴槽2内で入浴者が膝を略ヘ字状に曲げて入浴する場合、足を伸ばして入浴する場合のいずれの場合も一方の浴槽壁2a側に設けた水中照明器具3aからの発光した光が、浴槽2に入浴した人に遮られることなく他方の浴槽壁2a側に向けて水中照明できるようになっている。浴槽2a内で略へ字状に曲げた膝位置はちょうど長手方向の浴槽壁2aの長手方向の略中間であり、高さ位置は、浴槽2内で略へ字状に曲げた膝の下方を照明の光が通過するような位置で、且つ、浴槽2の底に沿って足を伸ばした場合に膝の上を照明の光が通過するような高さに設定してある。図3において25は入浴者を示し、26は入浴者25の膝を示している。   The underwater lighting fixture 3a is provided on the bathtub wall 2a along the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 2 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is provided from the underwater lighting fixture 3a provided on the one bathtub wall 2a side along the longitudinal direction. The emitted light can be illuminated underwater toward the other bathtub wall 2a along the longitudinal direction without being blocked by a person bathed in the bathtub 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case where the bather bathes in the bathtub 2 with his knees bent into a substantially square shape, or in the case of bathing with his legs extended, the water provided on the one side of the bathtub wall 2 a is used. The light emitted from the luminaire 3a can be illuminated underwater toward the other bathtub wall 2a without being blocked by a person bathed in the bathtub 2. The knee position bent in a substantially square shape in the bathtub 2a is substantially the middle in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub wall 2a in the longitudinal direction, and the height position is below the knee bent in a substantially square shape in the bathtub 2. The height is set such that the illumination light passes over the knee at a position where the illumination light passes and when the legs are extended along the bottom of the bathtub 2. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 25 denotes a bather, and 26 denotes a knee of the bather 25.

水中照明器具3aには、赤色発光ダイオードからなる赤色発光体、緑色発光ダイオードからなる緑色発光体、青色発光ダイオードからなる青色発光体を備えた光源部4を有し、光源部4における前記3種類の発光体から発せられる赤色(R)、緑色(G)、青色(B)の3原色の夫々の光量を調整して混合比を替えることで、様々な色の発光が可能となっている。ここで、本発明においては、光源部4における上記3種類の発光体の各発光を組み合わせて調色することで、緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるカラフル循環発光モードを有している。また、青系統の寒色の複数の光色を順番に循環させて発光させる寒色循環発光モードを有し、更に、複数の光色の中で選択された固定色で発光し且つ該固定色の明るさを自動的に変化させる固定色明るさゆらぎモードを有している。   The underwater lighting fixture 3a includes a light source unit 4 including a red light emitter made of a red light emitting diode, a green light emitter made of a green light emitting diode, and a blue light emitter made of a blue light emitting diode. By adjusting the light amounts of the three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) emitted from each of the light emitters, it is possible to emit various colors. Here, in the present invention, the light emission of the three types of light emitters in the light source unit 4 is combined and toned, so that a green light color, an intermediate color light color between green and blue, and a blue light. It has a colorful circulation light emission mode in which light is emitted by sequentially circulating colors, blue and red light colors, red light colors, and green and red light colors. In addition, it has a cold color circulation light emission mode in which a plurality of light colors of blue color are circulated in order to emit light, and further emits light in a fixed color selected from the plurality of light colors and brightness of the fixed color. It has a fixed color brightness fluctuation mode that automatically changes the brightness.

カラフル循環発光モードは、上記のように緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるモードであるが、本発明においては、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系の光色を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化する際、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系としてピンク色の光色に変化し、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するように制御するようになっている。   As described above, the colorful circulation emission mode is a green light color, a light color of green and blue, a light color of blue, a light color of blue and red, a light color of red, and green. This is a mode in which light colors of red intermediate color system are circulated in order and emitted light.In the present invention, light colors of blue and red intermediate color systems are passed through red light system light colors of green and red intermediate color systems. When changing to light color, the light color of blue and red is changed from pink to red as red light, and the light from pink to white is changed to light between green and red. It controls to change.

このカラフル循環発光モードは、上記のように全色、つまり、3原色系と、各中間色系と、白色の合計7光色を順番に循環させるもので、一例を示すと、……緑色(緑色系)→水色(緑色と青色の中間色系)→青色(青色系)→紫色(青色と赤色の中間色系)→ピンク色(赤色系)→白色→黄色(緑色と赤色との中間色系)……という順番で光色が変化するものである。このようにカラフル循環発光モードにおいて循環して発光する光色をCIE色表示系の色度図に基づいて示すと図4のようになる。   As described above, this colorful circulation light-emitting mode circulates all colors, that is, three primary colors, intermediate colors, and a total of seven light colors in order. For example, green (green) System) → light blue (green and blue intermediate color system) → blue (blue system) → purple (blue and red intermediate color system) → pink (red system) → white → yellow (intermediate color system between green and red) …… The light color changes in this order. FIG. 4 shows the light colors circulated and emitted in the colorful circulation light emission mode based on the chromaticity diagram of the CIE color display system.

図4からも明らかなように、本発明におけるカラフル循環発光モードにおいては、緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるので、光の3原色系の光色、各中間色系の光色を順番に循環させてカラフルな水中照明ができ、浴水自体を幻想的に色発光させることができる。しかしながら入浴により心身共にリラックスしようとするための浴槽2内の水中照明においては、赤系の色は刺激的な色であるため、リラックスするという観点からはできるだけ避けた方がよい。   As apparent from FIG. 4, in the colorful circulation light emission mode of the present invention, green light color, green and blue intermediate color, blue light color, and blue and red intermediate color. , Red light color, green and red light colors are circulated in order, and light is emitted, so the light colors of the three primary colors and light colors of each intermediate color are circulated in order to create colorful underwater Illumination is possible, and bath water itself can be fantastically colored. However, in the underwater lighting in the bathtub 2 for relaxing both mentally and physically by bathing, the red color is an exciting color, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible from the viewpoint of relaxing.

このため、本発明は、赤色系の光色としては、赤色の原色は使わず入浴者に対する刺激が比較的少ないピンク色のみを使用して赤色の原色が入浴者に与える刺激を無くすようにしており、更に、赤色系の光色として使用するピンク色の発光の後に、直ぐ、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化すると、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色による発光の際、入浴者にとっては赤色系の色であるピンク色の残像が残っているため、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色が赤系の色の連続として感じられて、リラックスした入浴の妨げとなるが、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するように制御するので、白色光への変化で赤色系の色であるピンク色の残像を消去し、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化した際に、赤色系の光色が連続するという赤色系の色の残像を感じないようにしてあり、これにより、赤色系の光色を使用してカラフルな循環発光をすると言えども、赤色による入浴者に対する刺激をできるだけ少なくして、カラフルに循環発光する従来にない幻想的な浴水中に浸かってリラックスした入浴が可能となるようにしている。   For this reason, the present invention eliminates the stimulus given to the bather by using only the pink light that does not use the primary color of red as the red light color, and uses only the pink color that has relatively little stimulus to the bather. In addition, after the pink light emission used as the red light color, immediately after changing to the light color of the green and red intermediate color system, when the light is emitted by the light color of the green and red intermediate color system, the bather For this, a pink afterimage, which is a reddish color, remains, and the light color of the green and red colors is felt as a series of reddish colors, which hinders relaxing bathing, but pink Because it is controlled so that the light color changes from white light through white light to a light color of green and red, the pink afterimage, which is a red color, is erased by the change to white light. When changing to a neutral color, the red color It is designed not to feel the afterimage of the red color to continue, so that even if it uses a red light color and colorful circulation light emission, the stimulation to the bather due to red is minimized, The bath is relaxed by soaking in an unprecedented and fantastic bathing water that circulates in a colorful manner.

寒色循環発光モードは、……青色→緑青→水色→青緑→青色→……という寒色系の5光色が順番に循環して発光するものである。このように寒色循環発光モードにおいて循環して発光する光色をCIE色表示系の色度図に基づいて示すと図5のようになる。   In the cold-color circulation light emission mode,... Blue → green blue → light blue → blue green → blue → .... FIG. 5 shows the light color that circulates and emits light in the cold color circulation emission mode based on the chromaticity diagram of the CIE color display system.

このように寒色系の複数の光色を順番に循環させて浴槽2内の水中照明を行うことで、従来にない青系の色が微妙に変化しながら光っている幻想的な浴水中に浸かって入浴できるので、よりリラックスして入浴することができる。   In this way, underwater illumination in the bathtub 2 is performed by sequentially circulating a plurality of light colors of cold colors, soaking in the fantastic bath water that is shining while the subtle blue color changes slightly. You can take a bath more relaxedly.

上記カラフル循環発光モード、寒色循環発光モードのいずれの循環発光モードにおいても、上記のように予め設定された光色変化パターンで光色が自動的に変化するように制御されるのであるが、更に、各循環発光モードにおいて自動的に変化する光色が予め設定された明るさ変化パターンで自動的に変化するように制御してもよい。   In any of the colorful circulation light emission mode and the cold color circulation light emission mode, the light color is controlled to automatically change with the preset light color change pattern as described above. The light color that automatically changes in each cyclic light emission mode may be controlled so as to automatically change in a preset brightness change pattern.

固定色明るさゆらぎモードは、3種類の発光体から発せられる赤色(R)、緑色(G)、青色(B)の3原色の夫々の光量を調整して混合比を替えることで作り出される複数の色を選択して固定色として発光し、且つ、選択された固定色が予め設定された明るさ変化パターンに基づいて当該固定色の明るさを自動的に変化させるように制御部5により制御される。   The fixed color brightness fluctuation mode is created by adjusting the light quantity of each of the three primary colors red (R), green (G), and blue (B) emitted from three types of light emitters and changing the mixing ratio. The controller 5 controls the control unit 5 to emit light as a fixed color and to automatically change the brightness of the selected fixed color based on a preset brightness change pattern. Is done.

固定色の選択の一例を挙げると、黄色、黄緑色、緑色、青緑色、水色、緑青色、青色、紫色、ピンク色、白色の10色の中から一色を選んで固定色とするものであり、操作器9に設けた後述のカラーセレクト用操作釦12を順番に押すことで、上記10色を順番に選択した単色を固定色とすることができるようになっている。このような固定色として選択される色及びその選択の順番をCIE色表示系の色度図に基づいて示すと図7のようになる。   An example of selecting a fixed color is to select a fixed color from 10 colors of yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, light blue, green blue, blue, purple, pink and white. By pressing the color selection operation buttons 12 (described later) provided on the operation unit 9 in order, the single color selected in order from the ten colors can be set as a fixed color. The color selected as such a fixed color and the order of selection are shown in FIG. 7 based on the chromaticity diagram of the CIE color display system.

選択された固定色の明るさを自動的に変化させるに当っては、その明るさの変化パターンは予め設定された変化パターンで自動的に変化するようになっており、図6はその予め設定された明るさの変化パターンの一例を示すグラフである。図6において、Aの時間は設定された最大明るさの時間であり、Bは最大明るさから次第に明るさが弱くなって最小明るさに至るまでの時間であり、Cは最小明るさが継続する時間であり、Dは最小明るさから最大明るさに至るまでの時間を示しており、上記A、B、C、Dの時間は次にようにして求めている。すなわち、実際に浴槽2の湯水内に実験者が入浴し、該浴槽2内の湯水を選択した固定色で照明すると共に明るさを変化させて、入浴者の心理状態を評価した。このような実験における入浴者の心理評価に基づいて、入浴者が最もリラックスする明るさの変化パターンを求め、このようにして求めた明るさの変化パターンに基づいて、上記A、B、C、Dの時間を求めた。ちなみに、実験によれば、A、Cはそれぞれ約3秒、B、Dはそれぞれ約10秒が好ましい。   When the brightness of the selected fixed color is automatically changed, the brightness change pattern automatically changes in accordance with a preset change pattern. FIG. It is a graph which shows an example of the changed change pattern of the brightness. In FIG. 6, time A is the time of the set maximum brightness, B is the time from the maximum brightness until the brightness gradually decreases to the minimum brightness, and C is the minimum brightness. D represents the time from the minimum brightness to the maximum brightness, and the times A, B, C, and D are obtained as follows. That is, the experimenter actually bathed in the hot water of the bathtub 2, illuminated the hot water in the bathtub 2 with the selected fixed color, and changed the brightness to evaluate the psychological state of the bather. Based on the psychological evaluation of the bather in such an experiment, the change pattern of the brightness that the bather is most relaxed is obtained, and based on the change pattern of the brightness thus obtained, the above A, B, C, The time for D was determined. By the way, according to experiments, A and C are preferably about 3 seconds, and B and D are preferably about 10 seconds.

壁面間接照明器具3bは、浴室1の壁6の上下方向の略中間位置(浴槽2の上端よりもやや上方位置)に設置され、図8に示すように、ボックス13内の後部にLEDからなる発光体14を配設したものである。ボックス13は前壁部13a及び両側の側壁部が遮光性を有し且つ耐薬品性を有するABS等の合成樹脂からなり、天壁部13c及び底壁部13dが透光性を有し且つ耐薬品性を有するPP等の合成樹脂からなる。発光体14はボックス13の前壁部13aに向けて発光し、この光が前壁部13aや側壁部に当って反射して天壁部13c及び底壁部13dを透過し、これによりボックス13の上方及び下方に光が漏れ出して間接照明を実現する。このような間接照明からなる壁面間接照明器具3bは浴槽2内の湯水に浸かって入浴している人のほぼ目の高さに対応する壁面付近を柔らかな間接照明で淡く照らすようになっており、入浴者の目に壁面間接照明器具3bの光が直接光となって入らず、柔らかな間接光により浴槽2内の湯水に浸っている入浴者にリラックス効果を与えることができるようになっている。   The wall surface indirect lighting device 3b is installed at a substantially intermediate position in the vertical direction of the wall 6 of the bathroom 1 (a position slightly above the upper end of the bathtub 2), and is composed of an LED at the rear of the box 13 as shown in FIG. A light emitter 14 is provided. The box 13 is made of a synthetic resin such as ABS having a light-shielding property and chemical resistance at the front wall portion 13a and both side wall portions, and the top wall portion 13c and the bottom wall portion 13d are light-transmissive and resistant. It consists of synthetic resin such as PP having chemical properties. The light emitter 14 emits light toward the front wall portion 13a of the box 13, and this light hits the front wall portion 13a and the side wall portion and is reflected to pass through the top wall portion 13c and the bottom wall portion 13d. Indirect illumination is realized by light leaking upward and downward. The wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b composed of such indirect lighting illuminates lightly with soft indirect lighting near the wall surface corresponding to the eye level of the person bathing in the hot water in the bathtub 2. The light of the wall indirect lighting device 3b does not enter directly into the bather's eyes, and a relaxing effect can be given to the bather who is immersed in the hot water in the bathtub 2 by the soft indirect light. Yes.

次に、図1の制御部ロック図、図2の動作説明図に基づいて、水中照明器具3a、壁面間接照明器具3b、主照明器具8の操作に付き説明する。   Next, operation of the underwater lighting fixture 3a, the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b, and the main lighting fixture 8 will be described based on the control unit lock diagram of FIG. 1 and the operation explanatory diagram of FIG.

入浴者は浴室1に入る際に、浴室1の外に設けたメインスイッチ20をオンにして浴室1に入る。メインスイッチ20をオンにすると、制御部5により主照明器具8がオンになる。ここで、図1、図2に示す実施形態においては、主照明器具8が調光可能となっている場合の例であり、この場合、メインスイッチ20をオンにすると主照明器具8は全灯(100%点灯)状態となる。この状態が図2における初期状態である。   When entering the bathroom 1, the bather enters the bathroom 1 by turning on the main switch 20 provided outside the bathroom 1. When the main switch 20 is turned on, the main lighting device 8 is turned on by the control unit 5. Here, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is an example in the case where the main lighting fixture 8 is dimmable. In this case, when the main switch 20 is turned on, the main lighting fixture 8 is turned on. (100% lighting) state. This state is the initial state in FIG.

この主照明器具8の全灯状態においては、一般の浴室照明と同様の浴室1内照明が実現できる。   In the full lighting state of the main lighting fixture 8, the lighting in the bathroom 1 similar to general bathroom lighting can be realized.

この主照明器具8の全灯状態において、操作器9に設けた水中照明用操作釦10を押すことで水中照明器具3aがオンとなってカラフル循環発光モードで照明されるように制御部5により制御されるようになっている。この時同時に主照明器具8の明るさが自動的に低下して(例えば全灯状態の20%の明るさに低下して)浴室1内空間が薄暗くなるように制御される。   In the full lighting state of the main lighting fixture 8, the controller 5 turns on the underwater lighting fixture 3a by pressing the underwater lighting operation button 10 provided on the operating device 9 so that it is illuminated in the colorful circulation light emission mode. To be controlled. At the same time, the brightness of the main lighting fixture 8 is automatically lowered (for example, lowered to 20% of the brightness of the full lighting state) and the space in the bathroom 1 is controlled to be dim.

上記カラフル循環発光モードによる照明中に、更に、操作器9に設けた循環切換用操作釦11を押し操作をすると、水中照明器具3aがカラフル循環発光モードから寒色循環発光モードの水中照明に切換られ、更に、循環切換用操作釦11を押すと、再びカラフル循環発光モードの水中照明に切換られる。このように、循環切換用操作釦11を押す毎にカラフル循環発光モードと寒色循環発光モードを交互に切り換えることができるようになっている。   When the circulation switching operation button 11 provided on the operation unit 9 is further pressed during illumination in the colorful circulation light emission mode, the underwater lighting device 3a is switched from the colorful circulation light emission mode to the underwater illumination in the cold color circulation light emission mode. Furthermore, when the circulation switching operation button 11 is pressed, the underwater illumination in the colorful circulation light emission mode is switched again. Thus, every time the circulation switching operation button 11 is pressed, the colorful circulation light emission mode and the cold color circulation light emission mode can be switched alternately.

また、上記カラフル循環発光モード又は寒色循環発光モードによる水中照明中に、カラーセレクト用操作釦12を押すと、カラフル循環発光モード又は寒色循環発光モードによる水中照明から、固定色明るさゆらぎモードに切換られる。ここで、カラーセレクト用操作釦12を1回、2回……と押すことで、あらかじめ設定してある複数の固定色(実施例では10色)が順番に選択される。この固定色明るさゆらぎモードにおいては、浴水が固定された固定光色で発光する際、明るさが予め設定された明るさ変化パターンに基づいて自動的に変化するので、光色が固定された浴水中に浸かって入浴する際に、従来のように水面の波立ちに影響されることなく、入浴者の心理評価に基づいて最もリラックスできる最適の明るさ変化で浴水照明ができる。   In addition, when the color selection operation button 12 is pressed during underwater illumination in the colorful circulation light emission mode or the cold color circulation emission mode, the underwater illumination in the colorful circulation emission mode or the cold color circulation emission mode is switched to the fixed color brightness fluctuation mode. It is done. Here, by pressing the color selection operation button 12 once, twice,..., A plurality of preset fixed colors (10 colors in the embodiment) are selected in order. In this fixed color brightness fluctuation mode, when the bath water is emitted with a fixed light color, the brightness automatically changes based on a preset brightness change pattern, so the light color is fixed. When bathing in bathing water, bath water illumination can be performed with the most appropriate brightness change that can be most relaxed based on the psychological evaluation of the bather, without being affected by the undulation of the water surface as in the past.

なお、図2において水中照明器具3aをオンにして浴水照明をしている場合を、浴槽2内の浴水を黒く塗りつぶして図示しており、浴槽2内の浴水が白抜きの図は水中照明器具3aがオフの場合を示している。   In addition, in FIG. 2, the case where bath water illumination is performed with the underwater lighting fixture 3a turned on is illustrated by painting the bath water in the bathtub 2 in black, and the bath water in the bathtub 2 is white. The case where the underwater lighting fixture 3a is off is shown.

上記のように水中照明すると、水中照明器具3aにより浴槽2内の浴水自体が直接照明されて浴水自体が色発光するという幻想的な浴水となる。この場合、水中照明器具3aをオンにすると同時に主照明器具8の明るさが自動的に低下して浴室1空間内が薄暗くなるので、薄暗い浴室1内において浴槽2内の浴水が幻想的に色発光するという従来にない幻想的な雰囲気を現出でき、このような雰囲気の中で幻想的に色発光する浴水中に浸かることで、リラックスした入浴が可能となる。この場合、浴水が単一色での色発光では入浴者に飽きがくるので、本発明においては、上記のように、カラフル循環発光モード、寒色循環発光モードという循環発光モードや、固定色明るさゆらぎモードを選択して、入浴者の好みやその時々における体調や心理状態に応じて複数の水中照明モードの中から適した水中照明モードを選択し、入浴者に適した幻想的な発光状態を現出している浴水中に浸かって入浴することで、リラックスした入浴ができるようになっている。   When underwater illumination is performed as described above, the bath water itself in the bathtub 2 is directly illuminated by the underwater lighting fixture 3a, and the bath water itself emits color light. In this case, since the brightness of the main lighting fixture 8 is automatically reduced at the same time as the underwater lighting fixture 3a is turned on and the interior of the bathroom 1 becomes dim, the bath water in the bathtub 2 is fantastic in the dimly lit bathroom 1. An unprecedented fantastic atmosphere of color emission can be revealed, and relaxing bathing becomes possible by soaking in bath water that emits a fantastic color in such an atmosphere. In this case, since the bath water is irritated by a single color emission of the bath water, in the present invention, as described above, the circulation emission mode such as the colorful circulation emission mode and the cold circulation emission mode, and the fixed color brightness. Select the fluctuation mode, select a suitable underwater lighting mode from multiple underwater lighting modes according to the bather's preference, physical condition and psychological state at that time, and create a fantastic light emission state suitable for the bather By bathing in the bathing water that appears, you can relax and take a bath.

上記水中照明器具3aをオンにして複数の発光モードのいずれかで水中照明を行っている際、操作器9に設けた調光用操作釦15を操作すると主照明器具8の明るさを可変できて入用者の入浴者の好みやその時々における体調や心理状態に応じて浴室1内空間の明るさを最も適した明るさにしてよりリラックスできる雰囲気を現出するようにしている。勿論、調光用操作釦15を操作して調光することで、全灯、消灯することもできる。   When the underwater lighting fixture 3a is turned on and underwater lighting is performed in one of a plurality of light emission modes, the brightness of the main lighting fixture 8 can be varied by operating the dimming operation button 15 provided on the operation unit 9. In accordance with the preference of the bather of the user and the physical condition and psychological state at that time, the brightness of the interior space of the bathroom 1 is set to the most suitable brightness so that a more relaxing atmosphere appears. Of course, all the lights can be turned off by operating the light control button 15 for light control.

水中照明器具3aをオフにするには操作器9に設けた水中照明用操作釦10を再度押すことで水中照明器具3aをオフにできる。水中照明器具3aをオフにすると、主照明器具8が自動的に全灯状態となるように制御部5により制御される。   In order to turn off the underwater lighting fixture 3a, the underwater lighting fixture 3a can be turned off by pressing the underwater lighting operation button 10 provided on the operating device 9 again. When the underwater lighting fixture 3a is turned off, the main lighting fixture 8 is controlled by the control unit 5 so as to be automatically turned on.

操作器9に設けた間接照明用操作釦16を押すと、壁面間接照明器具3bがオンとなり、壁面間接照明器具3bが点灯して壁面付近が間接照明されると同時に主照明器具8が自動的にオフとなって消灯するように制御部5により制御される。このように壁面間接照明器具3bを押してオンにした際に、水中照明器具3aがオンになっている時は水中照明は現状のモードを継続し、水中照明器具3aがオフになっているときはオフの状態が維持されるように制御される。   When the indirect lighting operation button 16 provided on the operation unit 9 is pressed, the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b is turned on, the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b is turned on, and the vicinity of the wall surface is indirectly illuminated. It is controlled by the control unit 5 so that it is turned off and turned off. Thus, when the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b is pushed and turned on, when the underwater lighting device 3a is turned on, the underwater lighting continues the current mode, and when the underwater lighting device 3a is turned off. Control is performed so that the off state is maintained.

このように、壁面間接照明器具3bによる間接照明の際に、主照明器具8が自動的に消灯することで、直接照明による光刺激が無くて柔らかな間接照明の雰囲気下で入浴でき、リラックスした入浴ができる。更に、この状態で主照明器具8を調光用操作釦15を操作して主照明器具8を調光することができる。   In this way, the main lighting fixture 8 is automatically turned off during indirect lighting by the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b, so that there is no light stimulation by direct lighting and bathing can be performed in a soft indirect lighting atmosphere, and relaxing. You can take a bath. Further, in this state, the main lighting fixture 8 can be dimmed by operating the dimming operation button 15.

また、水中照明器具3a、壁面間接照明器具3bの両方がオンで点灯し且つ主照明器具8がオフで消灯している際、水中照明器具3a又は壁面間接照明器具3bの一方をオフにしても主照明器具8はオフのままで消灯している。しかし、水中照明器具3a又は壁面間接照明器具3bの両方がオフとなると主照明器具8が自動的にオンになって全灯となるように制御される。   Further, when both the underwater lighting fixture 3a and the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b are turned on and the main lighting fixture 8 is turned off and turned off, either the underwater lighting fixture 3a or the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b is turned off. The main lighting fixture 8 remains off and is extinguished. However, when both the underwater lighting fixture 3a and the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b are turned off, the main lighting fixture 8 is automatically turned on and controlled to be all lights.

したがって、メインスイッチ20をオンすると、主照明器具8、水中照明器具3a、壁面間接照明器具3bのいずれか一つ以上がオンとなって点灯していて、浴室1内が真っ暗な状態にならないようになっており、真っ暗になることによる危険を回避するようになっている。   Therefore, when the main switch 20 is turned on, any one or more of the main lighting fixture 8, the underwater lighting fixture 3a, and the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b are turned on and turned on so that the interior of the bathroom 1 is not dark. It is designed to avoid the danger of darkness.

上記実施形態では主照明器具8が調光可能な例で説明したが、主照明器具8が調光できないものであってもよい。以下、図9に示す本実施形態のブロック構成図、図10に示す動作説明図に基づいて、水中照明器具3a、壁面間接照明器具3b、主照明器具8の操作につき説明する。   In the above embodiment, the example in which the main lighting fixture 8 is dimmable has been described. However, the main lighting fixture 8 may not be dimmable. Hereinafter, operations of the underwater lighting fixture 3a, the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b, and the main lighting fixture 8 will be described based on the block configuration diagram of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 9 and the operation explanatory diagram shown in FIG.

前述の実施形態では操作器9に主照明器具8を調光するための調光用操作釦15が設けてあったが、本実施形態においては図9のように調光用操作釦15に代えて主照明オン・オフ用操作釦18が設けてある。   In the embodiment described above, the operation device 9 is provided with the light adjustment operation button 15 for adjusting the main lighting fixture 8. However, in this embodiment, the operation button 9 is replaced with the light adjustment operation button 15 as shown in FIG. A main illumination on / off operation button 18 is provided.

本実施形態においても、メインスイッチ20を操作してオンにすると主照明器具8が点灯される。この状態で水中照明用操作釦10を押して水中照明器具3aをオンにして水中照明を行っても、主照明器具8は点灯状態であり、その後、水中照明中に主照明オン・オフ用操作釦18を操作することで、主照明器具8を消灯することができる。   Also in this embodiment, when the main switch 20 is operated and turned on, the main lighting fixture 8 is turned on. In this state, even if the underwater illumination operation button 10 is pressed to turn on the underwater illumination fixture 3a to perform underwater illumination, the main illumination fixture 8 is in a lighting state, and then the main illumination on / off operation button during underwater illumination. The main lighting fixture 8 can be turned off by operating 18.

一方、水中照明用操作釦10を再び押してオフにすると、自動的に主照明器具8が点灯される。   On the other hand, when the operation button 10 for underwater illumination is pressed again to turn it off, the main lighting fixture 8 is automatically turned on.

また、循環切換用操作釦11、カラーセレクト用操作釦12の操作は前述の実施形態と同様であるので、説明は省略する。   The operations of the circulation switching operation button 11 and the color selection operation button 12 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

また、間接照明用操作釦16を操作して壁面間接照明器具3bをオンすると自動的に主照明器具8が自動的に消灯する。そして、この間接照明の状態で、主照明オン・オフ用操作釦18を操作することで主照明器具8を点灯することもできる。   When the indirect lighting operation button 16 is operated to turn on the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b, the main lighting device 8 is automatically turned off automatically. In this indirect lighting state, the main lighting fixture 8 can be turned on by operating the main lighting on / off operation button 18.

壁面間接照明器具3bによる間接照明状態において、主照明器具8がオフの場合、間接照明用操作釦16を操作して壁面間接照明器具3bをオフにすると主照明器具8が自動的に点灯する。   In the indirect lighting state by the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b, when the main lighting device 8 is off, the main lighting device 8 is automatically turned on by operating the indirect lighting operation button 16 to turn off the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b.

また、水中照明器具3a及び壁面間接照明器具3bの両者がオンとなり、且つ、主照明器具8がオンで消灯している時、間接照明用操作釦16を操作して壁面間接照明器具3bをオフにしても水中照明器具3aがオンであると主照明器具8は消灯のままであり、この場合水中照明用操作釦10を操作して水中照明器具3aをオフにすることで、主照明器具8が自動的に点灯する。また、水中照明器具3a及び壁面間接照明器具3bの両者がオンとなり、且つ、主照明器具8がオンで消灯している時、水中照明用操作釦10を操作して水中照明器具3aをオフにしても壁面間接照明器具3bがオンであると主照明器具8は消灯のままであり、この場合間接照明用操作釦16を操作して壁面間接照明器具3bをオフすることで主照明器具8が自動的に点灯する。   Further, when both the underwater lighting fixture 3a and the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b are turned on, and the main lighting fixture 8 is turned on and turned off, the indirect lighting operation button 16 is operated to turn off the wall indirect lighting fixture 3b. However, when the underwater lighting fixture 3a is on, the main lighting fixture 8 remains off. In this case, by operating the underwater lighting operation button 10 to turn off the underwater lighting fixture 3a, the main lighting fixture 8 is turned off. Lights up automatically. Further, when both the underwater lighting fixture 3a and the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b are turned on and the main lighting fixture 8 is turned on and turned off, the underwater lighting operation button 10 is operated to turn off the underwater lighting fixture 3a. However, when the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b is on, the main lighting fixture 8 remains off. In this case, the main lighting fixture 8 is turned off by operating the indirect lighting operation button 16 to turn off the wall indirect lighting fixture 3b. Lights automatically.

なお、上記したいずれの実施形態においても、壁面間接照明器具3bを設けた例を示したが、いずれの実施形態においても、壁面間接照明器具3bを設けない場合であってもよい。   In any of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b is provided has been described. However, in any of the embodiments, the wall surface indirect lighting device 3b may not be provided.

また、本発明の壁面間接照明器具3bにおける照明を、上記水中照明器具3aにおける照明と同様に、緑色発光体、青色発光体、赤色発光体を備えた光源部と、光源部における上記3種類の発光体の各発光を組み合わせて調色することで、緑色系の光色、緑色と青色の中間色系の光色、青色系の光色、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色、赤色系の光色、緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色を順番に循環させて発光させるカラフル循環発光モードで照明するように制御し、上記カラフル循環発光モードにおいて、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系の光色を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化する際、青色と赤色の中間色系の光色から赤色光系としてピンク色の光色に変化し、ピンク色の光色から白色光を経て緑色と赤色の中間色系の光色に変化するように制御するようにしてもよい。   Moreover, the illumination in the wall surface indirect lighting fixture 3b of this invention is the same as the illumination in the said underwater lighting fixture 3a, the light source part provided with the green light-emitting body, the blue light-emitting body, and the red light-emitting body, and said three types in a light source part. By combining and adjusting each light emission of the illuminant, green light color, green and blue intermediate light color, blue light color, blue and red intermediate light color, red light Control is performed to illuminate in a colorful circulation light emission mode in which light of an intermediate color system between green and green is circulated in order, and in the colorful circulation light emission mode, the light from an intermediate color system of blue and red to red light. When changing from a light color of the system to a light color of an intermediate color system of green and red, the light color of the intermediate color system of blue and red changes to a light color of pink as a red light system, and from a light color of pink color to a white color Light changes to a light color between green and red It may be controlled so as to.

なお、本発明において、浴槽2に微細気泡発生装置(図示せず)を付設して、微細気泡発生装置で発生させた微細気泡を微細気泡発生装置の吐出口から浴槽2内に吐出することで湯水中に混入するようにしてもよい。微細気泡としては平均気泡径が約10μm〜20μmのものが好ましく、この平均気泡径が約10μm〜20μmの微細気泡は湯水中への滞留時間が長くて浴槽4内の湯水中に満遍なく分散して湯水全体を不透明な濁湯とすると共に、平均気泡径が約10μm〜20μmの微細気泡の吐出方向と同方向に光照射部6から光が照射されるため、照射された光が上記平均気泡径が約10μm〜20μmの微細気泡を照らすと共に反射し、これを繰り返しながら、微細気泡の全域への分散にともなって浴槽4内の湯水全体が任意の色相の光色で発光発色した色濁湯を現出することができる。   In the present invention, a fine bubble generator (not shown) is attached to the bathtub 2 and the fine bubbles generated by the fine bubble generator are discharged into the bathtub 2 from the discharge port of the fine bubble generator. You may make it mix in hot water. As the fine bubbles, those having an average bubble diameter of about 10 μm to 20 μm are preferable. The fine bubbles having an average bubble diameter of about 10 μm to 20 μm have a long residence time in the hot water and are evenly dispersed in the hot water in the bathtub 4. The entire hot water is made opaque muddy water, and light is irradiated from the light irradiation unit 6 in the same direction as the discharge direction of fine bubbles having an average bubble diameter of about 10 μm to 20 μm. Illuminates and reflects the fine bubbles of about 10 μm to 20 μm, and repeats this, while the muddy water in which the entire hot water in the bathtub 4 emits light with a light color of an arbitrary hue as the fine bubbles are dispersed throughout the region. Can appear.

カラフル循環発光モードにおいては、前述のように光色が順番に変化しながら循環することで、光色が次々と変化して発光発色したカラフルな色濁湯を順番に現出することができ、また、寒色循環発光モードでは、寒色系の光色が次々と変化することで、発光発色した複数色の寒色系の色濁湯を順番に現出することができ、また、固定色明るさゆらぎモードにおいては、固定された光色で且つ明るさが変化する光で照明されるため、固定された光色で発光発色する色濁湯の濃淡が微妙に変化するようにでき、従来にない幻想的な色で発光する浴水中に浸かってよりいっそうリラックスした入浴が可能となる。   In the colorful circulation light emission mode, as described above, the light color is circulated while changing in order, so that the colorful muddy water can be displayed in order, with the light color changing one after another. In the cold-color circulation mode, the cold light color changes one after the other so that multiple colors of cold-colored muddy hot water that appear to emit light can be displayed in sequence, and the fixed color brightness fluctuations In the mode, it is illuminated with a fixed light color and light that changes in brightness, so the shade of colored muddy water that emits and emits light with a fixed light color can be changed slightly, and an illusion that has never existed before It is possible to take a more relaxed bath by soaking in bath water that emits light with a natural color.
