Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a shower post structure suitable for a bathroom or a shower room.

(Prior Art) Bathers easily wash their bodies before entering a bathtub. At this time or in the middle of bathing, there are not a few bathers who take a soak in hot water in a bathtub and hit the body vigorously with soaking water.

It is said that this hot water has the effect of improving blood circulation.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since pouring hot water uses a large amount of hot water, it is difficult to use pouring hot water in a small bathroom.

Bathers who prefer a pouring hot water want a washing pouring hot water or alternative pouring hot water means, but a pouring hot water facility suitable for installing in a bathroom or shower room where installation space is limited. Was not.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention enables a shower nozzle and a hot water nozzle to be installed in a limited space, and includes a shower post that stands on a floor and stores a hot water supply pipe, and the shower post. The shower post is integrally formed with a pouring hot water nozzle and a shower nozzle protruding from the nozzle.

And it is characterized in that at least one of the pouring water nozzle and the shower nozzle is capable of turning and moving forward and backward.

(Operation) The bather receives a strong jet of hot water facing the pouring hot water nozzle and receives a mist shower from the shower nozzle.

The hot water supply pipe is housed in the shower post, and both the shower nozzle and the shower nozzle are attached to the shower post, so that the shower equipment is compact.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a bathroom provided with a shower post according to the present invention. A bathtub 2 is placed in the center of a bathroom 1, a drain / steam inlet 3 is provided in one corner of the bathroom 1, and an indirect lighting device is provided in another corner. A transparent glass 5 and a folding door 6 are provided on the wall of the bathroom 1 to form the bathroom 1.

The upper edge 2a of the bathtub 2 is provided with a curran 7 for supplying hot water to the bathtub 2.

Further, a shower post 10 is attached to the upper edge 2a of the bathtub 2 at the side of the seat 2c. The shower post forms a shower facility, and details thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 is a diagram of a shower system, in which a pipe 11 is connected to the bottom 2b of the bathtub 2 covered with hot water W, and a filter is provided in the middle of the pipe.
12 and a pump 13 at the end of the tube.

The pump 13 draws hot and cold water from the pipe 11, pressurizes it with an impeller rotated by a motor, and discharges it from a discharge port 13 a of the pump 13.

A first hot water supply pipe 14 is connected to a discharge port 13a of the pump,
The first hot water supply pipe 14 passes through the outer side of the bathtub, branches off the branch openings 15a, 15b, 15c with a valve on the way, and connects the inside of the pipe-shaped shower post 10 rising to the upper edge 2a of the bathtub 2. It passes through and is connected to the pouring water nozzle 16 provided on the upper part of the post.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the pouring water nozzle. The pouring water nozzle 16 is provided with one relatively large-diameter discharge port 16a, and sprays the hot water thickly and strongly. A hot water nozzle 16 is attached to the post 10 so that the discharge port 16a is directed toward the bathtub 2.

In FIG. 2, the branch port 15a in the middle of the first hot water supply pipe 14 reaches the drain groove 17 located at a relatively high position, and drains the hot water W in the bathtub 2.

Further, the branch openings 15b and 15c can be used for hot water supply such as washing and floor heating.

A shower nozzle 20 is attached to the post 10 together with a pouring water nozzle 16.

The shower nozzle 20 is connected to an electric or gas heater 22 for taking in cold water from a water pipe 21 and appropriately heating the same, and an outlet 22a of the heater, and passing through the inside of the post 10 to the shower nozzle 20. And a second hot water supply pipe 23. Reference numeral 24 denotes a cold water pipe that bypasses the heater 22, and is connected to the mixing tap 25 to lower the temperature of the hot water heated by the heater 22.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the shower nozzle, in which a number of small holes 20a are provided at the tip of the shower nozzle 20 to form a mist-like shower.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the shower post. The shower post 10 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the outer cylinder 10c having the flange 10a, the inner cylinder 10c housed in the outer cylinder, and the outer cylinder 10b. It comprises a first turning part 10d and a second turning part 10e rotatably mounted on the upper part of the inner cylinder 10c.

In the figure, 10f is an O-ring that seals between the outer cylinder 10b and the first turning part 10d, 10g is an O-ring that seals between the first turning part 10d and the inner cylinder 10c, and 10h is the O-ring that seals between the first turning part 10d and the inner cylinder 10c. An O-ring that seals between the second turning part 10e and the inner cylinder 10c, and an O-ring 10i provided on the lid 10j of the second turning part 10e.

Reference numeral 10k denotes a slide plate for partitioning the first and second turning portions 10d and 10e so as to be able to turn each other, and for supporting the second turning portion 10e to the first turning portion 10d.
This is a flange that prevents the turning part 10e from falling out upward.

The pouring water nozzle 16 is screwed around the outer periphery of the first turning portion 10d.

The pouring water nozzle 16 includes an outer pipe 16b, an inner pipe 16c fitted to the outer pipe, and a discharge port 16a provided at a tip of the inner pipe.

The inner pipe 16c is attached to the outer pipe 10b via an O-ring 16d.

 Therefore, the discharge port 16a can move forward and backward only by D in the figure.

The shower nozzle 20 screwed into the second swirling portion 10e has the same structure as the hot water nozzle 16.

The operation of the shower post having the above configuration will be described below.

When taking a bath, the bather discharges the hot water nozzle 16
Move 16a back and forth and turn to set it to your preferred position.

4 The switch 13b shown in FIG. 2 is pressed to start the pump 13, and the hot water W in the bathtub is supplied to the first hot water supply pipe 14, that is, the outer cylinder 10b shown in FIG.
The hot water is violently jetted from the discharge port 16a of the hot water nozzle 16 through the first swirling portion 10d through the flow path between the hot water and the inner cylinder 10c.

If the direction of the pouring hot water is set to the bathtub 2, the bather can receive the pouring hot water while staying in the bathtub 2 and the hot water is circulated, so that the loss of the hot water is small.

In addition, tap water is prepared by heating tap water with a heater 22 and adjusting the hot water temperature with a mixing tap 25 to obtain a second hot water supply pipe 23, that is, an inner pipe shown in FIG.
Shower nozzle passing through the inside of 10c and through the second swivel part 10e
Use those discharged from the 20 small holes 20a.

The shower nozzle 20 is turned and moved back and forth to a desired position, so that hair washing, face washing, body washing, etc. can be efficiently performed with both hands.

The hot water nozzle 16 and the shower nozzle 20 shown in FIG.
An example is shown in which the and are mounted on the post 10 so as to be able to swivel and move forward and backward. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
Both or one of the shower nozzle 16 and the shower nozzle 20 may be fixed to the post 10.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the shower water nozzle and the shower nozzle are provided on one shower post, and the hot water supply pipe is arranged in the shower post. It is possible to provide a shower post suitable for a bathroom or a shower stall where facility space is limited.
