Next, FIG. 3 shows a control block diagram of the present embodiment. The control device 35 includes a switching unit 36, a control unit 37 within the bathing time, a control unit 38 within the rising time, a control unit 39 outside the bathing time, and a bubble control unit 40.

Next, the mechanism of bath water purification and heat retention will be described. First, the bath water sucked in from the suction port 5 is filtered by the filter of the first purification device 6 to remove dust such as hair. Next, the fat and the like are removed or decomposed by the filter stone of the second purification device 8 and the bacteria inhabiting therethrough via the circulation device 7. After that, the discharge port 10
By returning to the bathtub 3 and repeating this circulation, the bath water is always kept clean. In this purifying action, the circulating device 7 is always operated by the bathing time control means 37 and the rising time control means 38 during the bathing time by the bathing time setting device 24 and during the rising time from a certain time before the bathing time. At the same time, the bubble jet device 11 forces the bubble tube 12 from the discharge port 10 only for 10 minutes every hour.
After that, bubbles are jetted into the bathtub 3 together with the bath water. On the other hand, outside the set time of the bathing time setting device 24, the circulating device 7 is forcibly operated only for 10 minutes every hour by the outside bathing time control means 39, and at the same time, the bubble jet device 11 sends the bubble tube 12 from the discharge port 10. After that, bubbles are jetted into the bathtub 3 together with the bath water.

On the other hand, with regard to heat retention, when the hot water temperature by the temperature detecting device 13 is lower than the set temperature, the hot water is heated by the heating device 9. During the bathing time by the bathing time setting device 24, the bath water is always kept at the bathing temperature by the circulation device 7 and the heating device 9 by the bathing time control means 37. On the other hand, outside the set time of the bathing time setting device 24, the outside bathing time control means 39
Accordingly, the temperature of the hot water 10 minutes after the hour is detected, and when the temperature is equal to or lower than the heat retaining temperature (for example, 35 ° C.), the bath water is heated only once by the circulation device 7 and the heating device 9 to the heat retaining temperature. In addition, during the rising time from a predetermined time (for example, one hour) before the bathing time by the bathing time setting device 24, the water is heated from the warming temperature to the bathing temperature. In the case of FIG. 2, heating is started from 5:00 p.m. at 35 ° C., and 41 ° C. by 6:00 p.m.
, And the hot water temperature is always maintained at about 41 ° C. until 9:00 p.m. In other time zones, the temperature is kept around 35 ° C.

Next, the answering switch 29 operates by pressing the switch 29 before going out for a few days.
The ED 30 is turned on, and as shown in FIG. 3, the switching means 36 of the control device 35 causes the outside bathing time control means 39 to always keep the hot water temperature around 35 ° C. regardless of the bathing time by the bathing time setting device 24, thereby saving energy. It is intended. When the switch is pressed again when returning home, the switch is released and the operation display LED 230 is turned off, and at the same time, the temperature is kept according to the original bathing time by the bathing time setting device 24.

Next, when the bath switch 31 is pressed when the bath is suddenly taken outside the set bath time, the display LED 32 is turned on, and at the same time, the circulating device 7 and the heating device 9 are operated to heat the bath until the bath temperature is reached. Is what you do.

As described above, in this embodiment, the boiling time is completed within the rising time, so that the bathing time setting device 2
The bath water can be kept clean and at the bathing temperature at all times during the bathing time set by 4. In addition, bathing time setting device 2
Outside the set time of 4, the circulation device 7 is forcibly operated only for 10 minutes every hour, and the temperature of the hot water 10 minutes after each hour is detected, and
C. or less, the circulation device 7 and the heating device 9 only once.
Circulator 7 by heating bath water to 35 ° C
In addition, the power consumption of the heating device 9 is minimized to save energy. Also, regardless of the set bathing time, bubbles are forcibly ejected into the bathtub 3 only for 10 minutes every hour,
Dissolved oxygen in the bath water is always ensured, bacteria living on the filter stones and the like can always survive, and clean bathing can be performed without deterioration in purification performance. In addition, even at the time of sudden bathing, since the heat retention temperature is set to 35 ° C., bathing can be performed in a relatively short time even if the heating capacity is small.

If the answering switch 29 is pressed before going out for a few days, the control 36 outside the bathing time is always performed regardless of the time set by the bathing time setting device 24. However, the bath is not heated by the heating device, and the bath water is kept at around 35 ° C. by the purifying device and the circulating device, and at the same time, is kept clean and energy is saved.

As a second embodiment, the control device 3
5, when the answering switch 29 is in the ON state, the maintenance temperature (for example, 3
(0 ° C.) may be provided. Thereby, the bath water can be maintained at a temperature at which bacteria do not die, and energy can be saved without impairing the purifying ability of the bath water.

[0026]

As is clear from the above embodiment, the bath water purifying and keeping apparatus of the present invention comprises a bath water circulating circuit connecting a suction port of a bath water, a purifying apparatus, a circulating apparatus, a heating apparatus and a discharge port, and the above bath. Water temperature detecting device, bathing time setting device to set the bathing time of the day, bathing temperature setting device to set bathing water temperature, answering switch, within the time of the bathing time setting device, the purifying device and the circulation device Control means within the bathing time for keeping the bath water at the bathing temperature at all times by the heating device, and outside the set time of the bathing time setting device, the purifying device, the circulating device, and the heating device to keep the bath water clean and the heat retaining temperature lower than the bathing temperature. Outside bathing time control means, and a switching means for always performing the outside bathing time control when the answering switch is on, regardless of the time set by the bathing time setting device. Therefore, the bath water can always be kept clean and at the bathing temperature during the set time of the bathing time setting device, and energy can be saved by keeping the bath temperature at a lower temperature than the bathing temperature outside the set time of the bathing time setting device. Things.

If the answering switch is pressed before going out for a few days, the control 36 outside the bathing time is always performed regardless of the time set by the bathing time setting device. Further, the bath is not heated by the heating device, and the purifying device and the circulating device keep the bath water clean and save energy.

When the answering switch is on,
Further energy saving can be achieved by providing the maintenance temperature control means for maintaining the temperature at a maintenance temperature lower than the temperature maintained by the control outside the bathing time.

[0029] In addition, even when the answering switch is turned on, the air bubbles are blown out at regular intervals, so that the bath water can be kept clean even during the absence.

When the answering switch is in the ON state, control is performed outside the bathing time even during the rising time.
There is no unnecessary heating and energy can be saved.
