  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a bathing health assisting apparatus and a bathing health assisting system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  A bath health assist system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a system that generates a large number of bubbles containing negative ions in bath water W and generates far infrared rays (negative ion / far infrared radiation generation system). 2 and an air pump 3. The health aid for bath (negative ion / far-infrared generator) 2 includes a spherical ceramic C (see FIGS. 3 to 5 and 7) and a container body 5 (see FIG. 2) configured to accommodate the spherical ceramic C. It is prepared for. In this case, the air pump 3 is an apparatus for supplying compressed air to the health aid for bath 2 and is connected to the health aid for bath 2 via an air hose 3a as shown in FIG. In addition, an operation unit 3b provided with an operation switch for on / off operation is connected.

  Spherical ceramics C corresponds to “granular ceramics”. As an example, spherical ceramics C are ceramic balls obtained by processing a mixture of negative ion ceramics and far-infrared ceramics into a spherical shape and sintered. Negative ions and far-infrared rays are generated by being heated by the internal bath water W or by being in contact with other spherical ceramics C, the container body 5 or the like. In place of the spherical ceramic C, either a ceramic ball obtained by processing a negative ion ceramic into a spherical shape and sintered, a ceramic ball obtained by processing a far-infrared ceramic into a spherical shape and sintered, or both of them are used as a container body. The health assisting device 2 for bathing can also be configured by being housed in 5.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the container body 5 includes a hollow flat plate-like outer case 10, a hollow flat plate-like inner case 20 configured to be housed in the outer case 10, and the outer case 10 together with the middle case 20. The frame member 30 is configured to be accommodated therein, and is formed in a hollow flat plate shape as a whole. As an example, the outer case 10 is configured to include a lower case 10a and an upper case 10b formed in a shallow dish shape by bending a stainless steel plate, and the lower case 10a and the upper case 10b are fitted together. In the space to be formed, the middle case 20 and the spherical ceramics C laid on the middle case 20 as described later can be accommodated.

  In this case, the lower case 10a is formed with a plurality of slits 11 for draining the bath water W in the outer case 10 when the container body 5 is immersed in the bath water W and then pulled up from the bathtub B. As shown in FIG. 4, rubber legs 12 (an example of “legs formed of an elastic material”) are attached. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper case 10 b has a plurality of exhaust holes 15 and a connection nozzle 27 attached to the middle case 20 outside the outer case 10 as described later. A notch 16 for projecting is formed. Further, the upper case 10b is provided with a metal fitting 17 for hanging the container body 5 on a hook or the like (not shown) when the bath health assist system 1 (bath health assist device 2) is not used.

  As an example, the middle case 20 includes a lower case 20a and an upper case 20b formed in a shallow dish by bending a stainless steel plate, and is formed by fitting the lower case 20a and the upper case 20b together. The spherical ceramics C can be accommodated in the space. In this case, the lower case 20a is formed with a notch 21 for avoiding contact with the connection nozzle 27 attached to the upper case 20b. The upper case 20b is provided with a plurality of vent holes 25 and a connection nozzle 27 for connecting an air hose 3a (see FIGS. 1 and 4) connected to the air pump 3. Further, in the middle case 20, an opening 26 through which the spherical ceramics C can be taken in and out is formed in the upper case 20b (an example in which “one of the top plate and the bottom plate” is a “top plate”), and this opening portion. 26 is provided with a lid body 26a that closes 26.

  The frame member 30 prevents the spherical ceramics C laid on the middle case 20 from rolling down when assembling the health aid 2 for bathing, and when the user sits on the container body 5 as will be described later. A member for avoiding a situation in which the upper case 10b in the outer case 10 is deformed in combination with the middle case 20, and as an example, is formed by bending a stainless steel plate. As shown in FIG. 4, when the frame member 30 is housed in the outer case 10 together with the middle case 20, both the inner surface of the upper case 10 b in the outer case 10 and the outer surface of the upper case 20 b in the middle case 20. The thickness is in contact. In the figure, the lower case 10a, the upper case 10b, the lower case 20a, the upper case 20b, the frame member 30 and the like are provided in order to facilitate understanding of the configuration of the bathing health assist system 1 (bath health assisting instrument 2). Are separated from each other, but in actuality, they are in contact with each other and integrated.

  When assembling the health aid 2 for bathing, first, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of spherical ceramics C are laid on the lower case 20 a in the middle case 20. In the figure, only six spherical ceramics C are illustrated, but actually, a larger number of spherical ceramics C are laid (the spherical ceramics C are laid in the lower case 20a). Next, the lid 26a is screwed to the upper case 20b so as to close the opening 26, and the upper case 20b is fitted and integrated with the lower case 20a on which the spherical ceramics C are laid. As a result, the hollow flat middle case 20 is completed.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, after the middle case 20 is fitted into the lower case 10a, the frame member 30 is placed on the middle case 20 in that state as shown in FIG. Next, the spherical ceramics C are laid on the middle case 20 by placing the spherical ceramics C in each frame of the frame member 30. In the figure, a state in which only five spherical ceramics C are placed in one frame is illustrated, but actually, more spherical ceramics C are laid in each frame (on the lower case 20a). Spherical ceramics C are spread on the surface). Thereafter, the upper case 10b is fitted into the lower case 10a from above the middle case 20 in which the spherical ceramics C has been laid in the frame member 30 (on the middle case 20), as shown in FIG. The bathing health aid 2 is completed.

  In using the bath health aid 2, the air hose 3 a connected to the air pump 3 is connected to the connection nozzle 27 of the bath health aid 2 and, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface of the lower case 10 a Is placed in the bathtub B so that it faces the bottom plate of the bathtub B (with the container body 5 formed in a flat plate along the bottom plate of the bathtub B). At this time, as a result of each rubber leg 12 attached to the outer case 10 (lower case 10a) in the container body 5 contacting the bottom plate of the bathtub B, the bottom plate of the bathtub B is damaged by the container body 5 (outer case 10). The situation is avoided. Further, in a state where the bath health aid 2 is installed in the bathtub B, each spherical ceramic C in the container body 5 is immersed in the bath water W and heated by the bath water W. Thereby, negative ions and far infrared rays are generated from each spherical ceramic C.

  Next, in a state where the air pump 3 is connected to commercial AC (not shown), the operation unit 3b is operated to activate the air pump 3. In this case, as a result of air being supplied into the middle case 20 of the bath health aid 2 via the air hose 3a, the air is brought into contact with the spherical ceramics C accommodated in the middle case 20. Expands into the middle case 20. At this time, since the spherical ceramics C in the middle case 20 are stirred together with the bath water W in the middle case 20 by the supplied air, the spherical ceramics C are in contact with the inner surface of the middle case 20 and other spherical ceramics C. Abut. As a result, a sufficient amount of far infrared rays and negative ions are generated from each spherical ceramic C in the middle case 20.

  Next, air in contact with each spherical ceramic C in the middle case 20 (air containing a sufficient amount of negative ions) enters the outer case 10 from the respective vent holes 25 formed in the upper case 20b (the middle case 20). Outside). At this time, each spherical ceramic C laid on the middle case 20 is stirred together with the bath water W in the outer case 10 by the air from the middle case 20, so that each spherical ceramic C is attached to the outer surface of the middle case 20, As a result of coming into contact with the inner surface of the outer case 10, the frame member 30, and other spherical ceramics C, a sufficient amount of far infrared rays and negative ions are generated from each spherical ceramics C on the middle case 20.

  Thereafter, the air ventilated in the outer case 10 is exhausted to the outside of the outer case 10 through the respective vent holes 25 formed in the upper case 10b. Thereby, bubbles due to air containing a large amount of negative ions are generated in the bath water W. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, a user sits on the health aid 2 for bathing installed in the bathtub B, and contains a large amount of far infrared rays and negative ions generated from the health aid 2 for bathing. Air bubbles come into direct contact with the user's body.

  On the other hand, in this bath health assisting system 1 (bath health assisting instrument 2), when the spherical ceramic C in the container body 5 becomes dirty with long-term use, the spherical ceramic C is removed from the container body 5. It is comprised so that it can take out and wash | clean from inside. In this case, the spherical ceramics C housed in the outer case 10 while being laid on the middle case 20 can be taken out by removing the upper case 10b from the lower case 10a. On the other hand, the spherical ceramics C accommodated in the middle case 20 can be taken out from the opening 26 by removing the lid 26a from the upper case 20b. Thereafter, the spherical ceramics C taken out is washed while being exposed to running water or the like and accommodated in the container body 5 again, whereby the bath health assist system 1 (bath health assist device 2) can be kept clean.

  As described above, in this health assisting device 2 for bathing, a hollow flat plate-shaped outer body configured such that a plurality of exhaust holes 15 are formed in the top plate and spherical ceramics C laid on the middle case 20 can be accommodated together with the middle case 20 is provided. A hollow flat plate in which a case 10 and a plurality of vent holes 25 are formed in a top plate and can accommodate spherical ceramics C, and a connection nozzle 27 for connecting an air hose 3a is attached to a side plate The container body 5 is configured to include an intermediate case 20. The bath health assist system 1 includes the bath health assist device 2 and an air pump 3 that supplies air to the bath health assist device 2.

  Therefore, according to the bath health assisting device 2 and the bath health assisting system 1 provided with the bath health assisting device 2, the conventional health promoting device simply immersed in the bath water while being accommodated in the accommodation bag, In contrast, air is supplied around the spherical ceramic C, and each spherical ceramic C is stirred together with the bath water W in the container body 5. As a result, the spherical ceramic C in the container body 5 has a sufficient amount of external energy. As a result, a sufficient amount of negative ions and far infrared rays can be generated. Further, the spherical ceramics C is laid in two steps on the middle case 20 and on the middle case 20 (the housing portion of the spherical ceramics C has a two-stage structure), and from below (inside the middle case 20) upward ( With the structure in which air is blown toward the middle case 20), the spherical ceramic C in which air containing a sufficient amount of negative ions is laid on the middle case 20 in contact with the spherical ceramic C in the middle case 20. Since the air is exhausted out of the container body 5 after coming into contact with the air, air containing a sufficient amount of negative ions can be exhausted. Further, since the container body 5 containing the spherical ceramics C is formed in a hollow flat plate shape, when the bath health aid 2 is placed in the bathtub B together with the user, the bath health aid 2 is in the way. Needless to say, air containing negative ions that are located below the user and exhausted from the container body 5 can be brought into direct contact with the user's body.

  Further, according to the health assisting device 2 for bathing, the thickness is formed so as to be in contact with both the inner surface of the top plate in the outer case 10 and the outer surface of the top plate in the middle case 20 and can be accommodated in the outer case 10 together with the middle case 20. By providing the frame member 30 configured as described above, not only can the spherical ceramics C laid on the middle case 20 roll off when assembling the health assisting device 2 for bathing, but it can be easily assembled, and can also be completed. In order to prevent the outer case 10 from collapsing when the user sits or stands on the bath health assisting device 2, the inner case 20 and the frame member 30 are combined to prevent deformation of the bath health assisting device 2. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the appearance is impaired.

  Further, according to the health assisting device 2 for bathing, the rubber case 12 is attached to the bottom plate of the outer case 10, so that the outer case 10 (lower case 10a) is in contact with the bottom plate of the bathtub B and the bathtub B is damaged. The situation can be avoided.

  In addition, according to the health aid 2 for bathing, the middle case 20 is formed by forming the opening 26 into and from which the spherical ceramics C can be taken in and out, and including the lid body 26a for closing the opening 26. Since the spherical ceramics C can be easily taken out from the inside of the middle case 20, these can be kept clean by washing the spherical ceramics C in the middle case 20 as necessary.

  Furthermore, according to the health assisting device 2 for bathing, since the spherical ceramics C composed of a mixture of negative ion ceramics and far infrared ceramics is accommodated in the container body 5 as “granular ceramics”, a sufficient amount of negative ceramics is obtained. Since ions and far infrared rays can be generated, bathing using this bath health assist system 1 (bath health assist device 2) promotes blood circulation and activates cell functions while obtaining a relaxing effect. be able to.

  Note that the configurations of the bath health assist device and the bath health assist system are not limited to the configurations of the bath health assist device 2 and the bath health assist system 1 described above. For example, the configuration in which the frame member 30 is accommodated in the outer case 10 together with the middle case 20 has been described as an example. However, the “frame member” is not an essential component, and as an example, The side plate of the lower case 10a in the outer case 10 is formed at the same height as the side plate of the upper case 10b (the side plate of the lower case 10a has the same degree as the sum of the thickness of the middle case 20 and the thickness of the frame member 30). By forming the height, the situation where the spherical ceramics C laid on the middle case 20 rolls down and the situation where the outer case 10 is crushed can be sufficiently avoided while the frame member 30 is unnecessary. Further, the configuration in which the opening 26 is provided in the upper case 20b of the middle case 20 and closed by the lid 26a has been described as an example. However, the lower case 20a of the middle case 20 is provided with an opening and closed by the lid. A configuration can also be adopted.
