Description

  The present invention relates to a bathtub with a heater capable of obtaining a warm bath effect in a lying posture.

  As a bathtub with a heater which equips a bathtub with a heater, there is what is indicated by patent documents 1, for example. This is because the stool part is extended from the top of the flange part of the bathtub body to the side, and the body is rotated in a posture where the stool part sits down on the stool part from the washing area, and the flange part is straddled This makes it easy for even elderly people to take a bath. The stool has a built-in heater composed of a hot water pipe.

  However, the stool portion of the bathtub is a space where the user can sit down, and is not a space where the human body can relax in a lying posture like a rock bath. Further, the heater also merely warms the surface of the stool so as not to cause discomfort to the user when sitting, and does not exert a sweating action on the user.

In addition, even if the user sits on this stool for a long time and sweats, the sweat that has flowed down on the surface of the stool through the user's body flows into the bathtub as it is. It becomes.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-286191

  The present invention was invented in view of the above problems, and the user can easily obtain a warm bath effect such as a bedrock bath while relaxing in a lying posture in the bathroom, and at this time from the user It is an object of the present invention to provide a heater-equipped bathtub that can surely prevent sweat flowing down from flowing into the bathtub.

  In order to solve the above problems, the bathtub with a heater of the present invention has a board surface 5 on which a human body B can lie down and a warm bath 2 having a heater 6 below the board surface 5, and a flange portion 7 of the bathtub body 1. It is assumed that the top portion of the flange portion 7 of the bathtub body 1 is provided at a position higher than the panel surface 5 of the hot bath base 2.

  By doing in this way, the user is immersed in the hot water stored in the bathtub main body 1 at the time of normal bathing, and obtains the warm bath effect of bathing, and on the board surface 5 of the hot bath stand 2 arranged in parallel in the same bathroom. When you lie down, you can also get a warm bath effect like a bedrock bath. The sweat that the user has flowed down flows onto the board surface 5, but the sweat is prevented from flowing into the bathtub body 1 by providing the flange portion 7 higher than the board surface 5.

  The present invention can provide a warm bath effect by taking a normal bath in the bathroom, and can easily obtain a warm bath effect such as a bedrock bath while relaxing when the user is in a lying position on the bath. There is an effect that it is possible to prevent sweat flowing down to the hot bath from flowing into the bathtub.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show an example of a bath layer with a heater in an embodiment of the present invention.

  The bathtub with heater of this example includes a bathtub main body 1 having a concave hot water reservoir 10 for storing hot water, and a hot bath 2 formed integrally with the bathtub main body 1. The bathtub main body 1 is juxtaposed to the washing place 3 in the bathroom, and the hot bath 2 is juxtaposed on the opposite side of the washing place 3 with the bathtub main body 1 in between. Furthermore, a wall surface 4 of the bathroom is located on the side of the bath 2, and the bath 2 is sandwiched between the bathtub body 1 and the wall 4.

  The hot bath 2 is provided with a flat board surface 5 formed facing upward in a space where the human body B can lie down. A planar heater 6 for heating the panel surface 5 is incorporated below the panel surface 5. The heater 6 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown), and based on the detection result of the temperature sensor, the output of the heater 6 is controlled so that the temperature of the panel surface 5 is maintained at an appropriate temperature for the hot bath. It has become.

  The flange portion 7 formed over the entire circumference of the opening edge of the hot water reservoir 10 of the bathtub body 1 partitions the hot water reservoir 10 and the washing place 3 on one side of the both sides, and the hot water reservoir on the other side. The part 10 is separated from the board surface 5. Here, the flange portion 7 of the bathtub body 1 is provided with a top portion at a position higher than the panel surface 5. In addition, a sink surface 8 is formed around the flange portion 7 so as to be flush with the board surface 5 so as to reach the washing place 3 from the board surface 5 or slightly downwardly inclined from the board surface 5 toward the washing place 3 side. (See FIG. 2).

  According to the bathtub with a heater having the above-described configuration, during normal bathing, a hot bath effect is obtained by bathing in the hot water reservoir 10 where hot water is stored. When it is desired to obtain a warm bath effect such as a bedrock bath, the board surface 5 of the hot bath 2 adjacent to the hot water reservoir 10 is held at an appropriate temperature by the heater 6 and then laid on the board surface 5 for relaxation. When a certain amount of time elapses in the recumbent state, the user's human body B is warmed from the outside and inside by heat conduction and heat radiation from the board surface 5, and metabolism is activated, and waste products are produced by sweating action. Is discharged.

  Here, the sweat that flows out from the human body B flows down and accumulates on the board surface 5, and then flows down to the washing place 3 side along the sink surface 8 (see the arrow in FIG. 2). Moreover, if water is sprayed on the board surface 5 after use, the sweat can be made to flow to the washing place 3 side along the flush surface 8 together with the water. At this time, since the flange portion 7 surrounding the hot water reservoir portion 10 of the bathtub body 1 is erected higher than the board surface 5 and the sink surface 8, the sweat of the human body B does not flow into the hot water reservoir portion 10. The height of the flange portion 7 with respect to the board surface 5 is set to an appropriate height at which the sweat does not get over the flange portion 7.

  As described above, since the sweat does not flow into the bathtub body 1 and reaches the washing place 3 while bypassing the periphery of the flange portion 7, it is easy to keep the bathroom clean even after the warm bath.

  Next, another example of the bathtub with heater according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the structure similar to the structure demonstrated in the example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in the figure, in this example, a hot bath 2 is juxtaposed next to the wash basin 3, and the bathtub body 1 is integrally juxtaposed on the opposite side of the wash basin 3 with the hot bath 2 therebetween. A wall surface 4 of the bathroom is located on the side of the bathtub body 1, and the bathtub body 1 is sandwiched between the hot bath 2 and the wall surface 4.

  Moreover, the flange part 7 of the bathtub main body 1 of this example partitions between the hot water sump part 10 and the board surface 5 on one side, and contacts the wall surface 4 on the other side. Further, a side surface 9 is suspended from the side periphery of the flat board surface 5 toward the washing room 3 side on the warm bath table 2.

  According to the bathtub with a heater of this example, a sweating action can be obtained in the same manner as in the example by lying on the board surface 5 held at an appropriate temperature. Here, the sweat that flows out from the human body B flows down and accumulates on the board surface 5, and then flows down to the adjacent washing place 3 side through the side surface 9 (see the arrow in FIG. 3). Moreover, if water is sprayed on the board surface 5 after use, sweat can be made to flow to the washing place 3 side along the side surface 9 together with the water. At this time, since the flange portion 7 surrounding the hot water reservoir 10 of the bathtub body 1 is set higher than the board surface 5, the sweat of the human body B does not flow into the hot water reservoir 10.

  As described above, the sweat does not mix with the hot water in the bathtub body 1, but flows down the side surface 9 extending sideways from the board surface 5 and reaches the washing place 3 immediately. It is easy to keep the inside clean.
