Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a bath water treatment system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The bath water treatment system 1 is a water tank that stores bath water, and includes a bathtub portion 3 and a micro / nano bubble generating portion 4 separated by a partition wall 2.

  The partition wall 2 is provided with a lower communication path 5 and an upper communication path 6 which are through-holes arranged vertically. That is, the micro / nano bubble generating part 4 communicates with the bathtub part 3 through the lower communication path 5 and the upper communication path 6 above the lower communication path 5.

  The micro / nano bubble generation unit 4 includes a first micro / nano bubble generation device 7 between the lower communication path 5 and the upper communication path 6 in the height direction, and further above the first micro / nano bubble generation apparatus 7. The second micro / nano bubble generator 8 is provided.

  The first micro / nano bubble generating device 7 sucks bath water by rotating the impeller and blows it out to the outer periphery by centrifugal force. Air is introduced by the blower 9 through the control valve 10, and air together with the bath water by the impeller. This is a micro-nano bubble generating device of a rotary stirring type that generates micro-nano bubbles in bath water by rotating and stirring.

  The micro-nano bubble generally refers to a bubble having a diameter of several hundred nm to about 10 μm, and the micro-nano bubble generator 7 of the rotary stirring type generates a large number of large μm-sized bubbles, for example, every minute. Five liters of air can be introduced into the bath water as micro-nano bubbles.

  The second micro / nano bubble generating device 8 forms a high-speed swirling flow in the bath water supplied from the water supply pump 11 that sucks and discharges the bath water in the micro / nano bubble generating unit 4, and forms a negative pressure by the swirling flow. This is a swirling flow type micro / nano bubble generating device that introduces air by sucking itself through the control valve 12 and shears the air sucked by the swirling flow to generate micro / nano bubbles.

  The swirling flow type micro / nano bubble generator 8 can generate many small nano-sized bubbles among the micro / nano bubbles, but for example, only 1 liter of air per minute at maximum can be introduced into the bath water as the micro / nano bubbles.

  The second micro / nano bubble generator 8 is arranged to discharge bath water containing micro / nano bubbles toward the upper communication path 6.

  Further, the water inlet of the water supply pump 11, that is, the water inlet of the second micro / nano bubble generator 8 is provided between the first micro / nano bubble generator 7 and the second micro / nano bubble generator 8.

Then, the effect of the bath water processing system 1 which consists of the above structure is demonstrated.
Since the second micro / nano bubble generating device 8 causes the bath water to flow out from the upper communication path 6 to the bathtub section 3, the corresponding amount of bath water flows from the bathtub section 3 into the micro / nano bubble generation section 4 through the lower communication path 5.

  The first micro / nano bubble generating device 7 introduces air into the bath water flowing in from the bathtub portion 8 to generate micro / nano bubbles, and ejects them from the entire circumference in a substantially horizontal direction.

  The bath water containing the micro / nano bubbles generated by the first micro / nano bubble generator 7 is sucked into the water supply pump 11 and supplied to the second micro / nano bubble generator 8. The second micro / nano bubble generator 8 further introduces air sucked through the control valve 12 into the bath water to generate micro / nano bubbles.

  At this time, the swirl flow in the second micro / nano bubble generator 8 not only shears newly supplied air to generate micro / nano bubbles, but also shears larger micro / nano bubbles already contained in the bath water. And split into fine micro-nano bubbles.

  That is, the first micro / nano bubble generator 7 alone supplies the air exceeding the self-priming capability to the second micro / nano bubble generator 8 as a larger micro / nano bubble, so that the first micro / nano bubble generator 7 alone Fine micro-nano bubbles that cannot be generated can be generated in such a large amount that the second micro-nano bubble generator 8 cannot be generated alone.

  For example, when the air introduction amount of the first micro / nano bubble generation device 7 is 5 liters per minute and the air introduction amount of the second micro / nano bubble generation device 8 is 1 liter per minute, the bath water treatment system 1 is Fine micro / nano bubbles that cannot be produced by the first micro / nano bubble generator 7 can be generated as much as 6 liters per minute.

  That is, since the bath water treatment system 1 generates a large amount of fine micro / nano bubbles by combining two types of micro / nano bubble generators 7 and 8, the facility is relatively simple, does not increase in size, and is low in cost. It is.

  Micro-nano bubbles have the effect of stimulating the human body to increase blood flow. By bathing in bath water containing micro-nano bubbles, diabetes can be improved by lowering blood sugar levels, immune function activation, cardiac function improvement, gastric ulcer suppression, wrinkle suppression It has been reported that there are various effects such as prevention and improvement of hair and promotion of hair growth. Furthermore, these effects are more effective as the diameter of the micro / nano bubbles is smaller. Therefore, the bath water treatment system 1 capable of generating a large amount of fine micro-nano bubbles can be expected to have high health and beauty effects.

  Moreover, when the micro / nano bubbles in the bath water increase, the bath water becomes cloudy. Therefore, the density of the micro / nano bubbles in the bath water can be measured by the turbidimeter 16. When the amount of micro / nano bubbles is insufficient, the controller 18 causes the surfactant charging device 17 to input the surfactant into the bath water. By introducing the surfactant, the generation efficiency of micro-nano bubbles is high, so that the amount of micro-nano bubbles can be maintained at a predetermined amount or more.

  As the surfactant, a body soap that is gentle to the human body can be used.
