[Embodiment of the invention]

 The bathing device for the handicapped according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a part of a bathroom in which a bathing device for a physically handicapped person is installed, where 1 is a room wall, 2 is a desk, and 3 is a partition curtain. You. Reference numeral 10 denotes a wheelchair type bathing apparatus. A front door 12 is attached to the front side surface of the bathtub body 11 so as to be openable and closable. When the front door 12 is opened, a bathing wheelchair 13 can be moved into the apparatus. This allows the front door to be closed and the bath water to flow from the tank 14 while sitting on the bathing wheelchair 13 to take a bath. Reference numeral 20 denotes a stretcher type bathing apparatus, which is provided with a support base 22b for vertically moving a bathing stretcher 21 in which a disabled person is laid down on a bathtub body 22 in which bath water is stretched, so that the user can take a bath while lying down. A drive unit for moving rails is provided below the bathing stretcher 21, and the bathing stretcher 21 is located on the side of the moving stretcher 23, the bathtub body 22, and the bathtub body 22 for moving from the private room of the handicapped to the bathing room. Rails 23a, 22a provided on an openable transfer table 24 installed on a work passage, a washing table 25 for washing the body, and a movable stretcher 23 shown by a two-dot chain line, where the location is changed to return to a private room. , 24a, 25a. The movable stretcher 23 has four wheels at its lower end and a rail 23a capable of moving the bath stretcher 21 at the upper end, and fixes the bath stretcher 21 to the rail 23a while moving between the private room and the bath room (not shown). A fixing device is provided. The transfer table 24 is provided with uprights for supporting both ends of the rail 24a in a work passage beside the bathtub body 22 and the washing table 25, and one of the supports rotates the rail 24a. The shaft is provided at the upper end, and the other of the columns has a structure in which the other end of the rail 24a which is not on the rotation axis side is held at the upper end when the bathing stretcher 21 is moved. When the bath stretcher 21 is not moved, the rail 24a is rotated along the longitudinal direction of the bathtub body 22, so that a work space for the caregiver can be secured as a work passage. The washing stand 25 has a hot water shower function for washing the body and a hot air blowing function for preventing cooling of hot water while wiping the body or performing a light massage after taking a bath. The drainage water from each of the bathtub bodies 11 and 22 flows into the drainage ditch 30, while the integrated purifying hot water unit 40, which is connected by a universal pipe 31 resistant to sulfur and the like and placed outside the bath room, The bath water sucked from the universal tube 31 is purified and sterilized, immersed in radium ore, and returned to the bathtub bodies 11 and 22 again. Since the integrated purification hot spring unit 40 is connected by the universal tube 31, it can be installed not only outside the bath room, but also behind the bathtub body and near the ceiling, so that the area around the bathing device can be used widely and effectively. be able to.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a plane and a side surface of the integrated purification hot spring unit 40. The integrated purification hot spring unit 40 is covered with an aluminum cover 41, in which 42 is a purification and sterilization unit that filters and heats the bath water that has passed through the universal tube 31 from the bathtub bodies 11 and 22, and 43 is The ore dissolving unit is a smelting unit in which the bath water filtered by the purification and sterilization unit 42 and passed through the hot water pipe 43a is immersed in radium ore to form semi-natural hot spring water, and returned from the hot water pipe 43b to the bathtub bodies 11 and 22 by the universal pipe 31. Reference numeral 42a denotes a drain pipe through which waste water flows from the purification / sterilization unit 42, 43c denotes a bypass pipe that bypasses the ore dissolution unit 43, and B denotes fastening valves attached to various places. The purifying / sterilizing unit 42 has a pump unit 43 for pressurizing and sending bath water, a first filtering unit 44 provided with a filter for removing dust from the bath water, and adsorbing dirt of the bath water to dissolve and weaken the Milan content. A second filtration unit 45 containing a porous activated stone that is modified to be alkaline, and an ozone unit 46 that generates ozone and sterilizes Escherichia coli and various bacteria remaining unfiltered in the bath water are provided. The bath water passes through the universal tube 31 from the bathtub bodies 11 and 22 and enters the purification / sterilization unit 42. The bath water sent out by pressurizing the pump unit 43 incorporates the garbage contained therein into the first filtration unit 44. Remove with a filter. Next, the water passed through the second filtration unit 45 containing a porous activated stone that adsorbs fine dirt, and the bath water that passed through was dissolved in the Milanel component and was modified to be slightly alkaline. Further, the bath water is spouted with ozone generated in the ozone section 46, sterilizes Escherichia coli and various bacteria remaining without being filtered in the bath water, and is discharged from the purification / sterilization unit 42. Next, the bath water passed through the hot water pipe 43a is immersed in radium ore in an ore dissolving unit to form a quasi-natural hot spring water in which hot spring ions such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and iron ions are eluted. It is returned to 11 and 22 by the universal tube 31. Since the hot spring ions are eluted in the returned bath water, it does not oxidize to yellow-white or rust by air even after a long time, and the warm bath effect excellent in heat retention, moisture retention and washing is maintained. Therefore, it is necessary to use the bathing wheelchair 13 and the movable stretcher 23, and even those who have conventionally been slow to move and are easy to cool the water can enjoy the bath slowly.

As another embodiment, the wheelchair-type bathing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 only shows a space where the size of the bathtub is in a state in which the backrest of the bathing wheelchair 13 is erected, but as another bathing apparatus, The size of the bathtub that allows the backrest and footrest of the bathing wheelchair 13 that has moved to extend horizontally to the same height as the seating surface, and that the disabled person can take a bath like a stretcher. Is also good.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the invention of claim 1, a bath for a person who cannot take a bath by himself, such as a wheelchair type that can take a bath while sitting on a bathing wheelchair or a stretcher type that can take a bath while lying on a bathing stretcher. The integrated purification hot spring unit was installed in a different location by connecting it to the equipment by a universal pipe, so the area around the bathing equipment can be used widely and effectively, and it is possible to bathe in the bath water immersed in radium ore. Therapeutic effects such as functional recovery are enhanced. According to the invention of claim 2, since the integrated purifying hot spring unit includes the purifying and sterilizing unit and the ore dissolving unit, the bath water is supplied to the handicapped person by using hot spring ions such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and iron ions. Is eluted and does not oxidize to yellowish white or rust by air even after a lapse of time, and the warm bath effect excellent in heat retention, moisture retention and washing is maintained. According to the invention of claim 3, since the purification / sterilization unit includes the first filtration unit, the second filtration unit, and the ozone unit to which the bath water is pumped by the pump unit, dirt contained in the bath water of the bathtub body is provided. Among them, the first filtration unit absorbs debris such as keratin from the human body and hair, etc., while the second filtration unit absorbs dirt from the bath water into the porous active stone while dissolving the Milanel component to make it weakly alkaline. It is denatured, and in the ozone part, various germs such as Escherichia coli can be germ-free by strong oxidizing power, and sanitary water quality can be controlled by deodorizing and decolorizing effects.
