Description

  The present invention relates to a water jet apparatus that can massage a body by a water flow while bathing.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a water flow (bath water or bubble bath water) is jetted into a bathtub so as to collide with a person bathing in the bathtub and massaged. For example, Patent Document 1 is known as such a conventional example.

  In the conventional example shown in this Patent Document 1, a plurality of spouts for ejecting a water flow toward a bather bathing in a tub are provided at a plurality of locations of the tub, for example, in a region from the waist to the back. When a water flow is ejected from the spout, it is ejected so that the water flow strikes a wide area from the waist to the back so that the water current simultaneously strikes a plurality of acupoints located in the area from the waist to the back. However, since water flows simultaneously on a plurality of acupoints at different positions, effective massage cannot be performed by locally concentrating a specific part of the body (for example, a part with acupoints). There is a problem that is weak.

  Therefore, in the process leading to the present invention, the inventors installed an electric switching valve in the middle of the circulation flow path between the pump and the jet outlet, and the water from the pump is supplied to the plurality of jet outlets via the electric switching valve. By changing the water flow ejected from each jet outlet by the electric switching valve, the different parts can be effectively massaged in order by applying the water flow to the different parts in a concentrated manner. We have developed a water jet device that enables this.

  However, in this water jetting device, as shown in FIG. 8, the outlet 2 is attached to the wall of the bathtub, the electric switching valve 7 (three-way valve) is installed outside the bathtub, and the electric switching valve 7 and the outlet 2 are connected. The pipe 21b is used for communication connection. For this reason, the number of pipes increases and the pipe cost increases, and in particular, when the jet nozzles 2 are installed at a plurality of locations in the bathtub, the distribution direction of the electric switching valve 7 increases, and accordingly, the labor of the piping work and the piping cost are reduced. For example, when there is a primary piping to a currant or the like outside the bathtub, there is a problem that the piping space is restricted and the degree of freedom of construction is impaired. .

Furthermore, when a water flow is ejected from one spout 2, it is conceivable that the water flow is squeezed so that the water flow ejected in a certain direction locally hits a very narrow part of the body. You can intensively massage only the part, but following an intensive massage that applies a stream of water to a small part of the body, apply a stream of water to another part of the body and massage that part intensively. In such a case, it is necessary to move the body in the bathtub so that the water flow hits the other part, and there is also a problem that the relaxation feeling of bathing is impaired.
JP 2003-250854 A

  The present invention has been invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the nozzle body and the electric switching valve can be integrally connected without piping, thereby reducing the labor of piping work and the piping cost. In addition, the flow rate drop due to piping pressure loss between the nozzle body and the electric switching valve can be prevented, and the degree of freedom of construction can be further increased. In addition, the bather entering and taking a bath does not move the body in the bathtub, and the bather It is an object of the present invention to provide a water jet apparatus capable of effectively massaging different parts in order while applying a stream of water to different parts in order.

The present invention for solving the above problems includes a nozzle body 24 having a spout 2 for ejecting the water flow toward the bather M in the bathtub 1, switching supply of water from the pump 6 to the nozzle body 24 in water jetting apparatus provided with an electric switching valve 7, the electric switching valve 7, the water passage holes 29 of water from the pump 6 is supplied, adjacent to the communication-interruptible each other to the water passage holes 29 A pair of outlets 13a1 and 13a2 arranged, and a rotary valve body 11 that is rotated by the motor 10 to change the flow rate ratio of water from the pair of outlets 13a1 and 13a2. nozzle body 24 is provided with the spout 2 to the distal end side, rear pair of direct channel section that can be connected directly by fitting to said pair of outlet 13a1,13a2 are substantially parallel juxtaposed to each other on the side 2a1 , equipped with a 2a2, above And the electric switching valve 7 and the nozzle body 24 by directly connecting the outlet 13a1,13a2 and the pair of the direct flow path portion 2a1,2a2 pairs are connected together Rutotomoni, the pair of direct channels so that the injection direction from the ejection port 2 changes according to the water from parts 2a1,2a2 to changes in the flow rate ratio of water by the rotary valve member 11 causes merged from different directions toward the second internal said spout It is characterized by having a merging channel portion 36 having various inclined surfaces 2b1 and 2b2.

  With such a configuration, the pair of directly connected flow path portions 2a1 and 2a2 provided in one nozzle body 24 are directly connected to the pair of directly connected outlets 13a1 and 13a2 provided in the electric switching valve 7. Thus, the nozzle body 24 and the electric switching valve 7 can be integrally connected without piping. Accordingly, it is not necessary to install the nozzle body 24 and the electric switching valve 7 at different positions and connect them by piping as in the conventional case, so that the labor of piping work and the piping cost can be reduced and the nozzle body 24 can be reduced. And a decrease in the flow rate due to a pipe pressure loss between the electric switching valve 7 can be prevented. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to secure a piping space between the electric switching valve 7 and the nozzle body 24 on the outer side F of the bathtub 1 as in the prior art, the degree of freedom in construction can be increased. Further, when the bath water or bubble bath water is jetted from the nozzle 2 of the nozzle body 24 and massaged by applying a water flow toward the bather M in the bathtub 1, the rotation of the rotary valve body 11 is performed. Since the water flow ejected from the ejection port 2 can be ejected while changing the ejection direction by the operation and the confluence channel portion 36 having the inclined surfaces 2b1 and 2b2, the bather M does not move the body. The part of M's body that is subject to water flow changes continuously, so that a relatively large part of the body can be massaged in order by pushing and rubbing with the water stream, and massage can be done by pushing and rubbing in this way. So, you can massage by applying a stream of water to rub the acupuncture points in different parts of the body one by one in order, and effective massage by the water stream, especially effective acupoint massage The ability.

  In the present invention, by connecting the nozzle body and the electric switching valve integrally without pipes, it is possible to reduce the labor of piping work and the piping cost, and to prevent a decrease in flow rate due to pipe pressure loss, Moreover, since it is not necessary to ensure the piping space between an electric switching valve and a nozzle body on the outer side of a bathtub, the freedom degree of construction can be raised. In addition, when you massage the water flow from the spout and apply the water flow to the bather, you can touch the body of the bather while changing the direction of the spray, so the bather who enters the spout tub and takes a bath Without moving your body in the bathtub, you can massage the different parts one after another by intensively applying the water flow to the different parts of the bather in order and pressing and rubbing them, increasing the relaxing feeling of bathing It can be done.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the valve body 8 is provided with an inflow hole 30 that is always in communication with an opening at one end in the axial direction of the water passage hole 29 of the rotating valve body 11. The pump 6 is connected in communication with a pipe 21a constituting a part of the circulation water channel 21 (FIG. 3). Here, when the rotary valve body 11 is rotated by the motor 10 with the pump 6 turned on, water flows through the pair of directly connected outlets 13a (13a1, 13a2) as shown in FIG. 7B. From FIG. 7 (c), a state of flowing while changing the flow rate ratio to both the outlet 13a1 and the outlet 13b (FIG. 7 (c) shows the stage where the flow rate is equal) is shown in FIG. 7 (d). ), The water is sequentially distributed in three directions while changing the flow rate ratio of the water flowing to the outlets 13a1, 13a2, and 13b.

  Moreover, in this example, as shown in FIG. 2, the annular flange part 8a is protrudingly provided in the outer peripheral part of the valve main body 8 of the electric switching valve 7 arrange | positioned on the outer side F of the bathtub 1, The valve main body 8 And a pair of directly connected outlets 13a (13a1, 13a2) are integrally formed on the inner side of the mounting frame 5, and a plurality of them are provided in the circumferential direction of the annular flange portion 8a. By fastening the provided screwing portion 8b and a plurality of screw bosses 5a provided in the circumferential direction of the rear surface of the mounting frame 5 with the screw tool 4, the mounting frame 5 is fixedly integrated with the valve body 8. Yes.

  The electric switching valve 7 is attached to the side wall 16 a (16 b) of the bathtub 1 using the attachment means 25. As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment means 25 of the present example is a state in which the insertion pipe 26 inserted into the opening 16 c provided in the bathtub 1 and the outlet 2 of the nozzle body 24 are exposed to the inner side E of the bathtub 1. The ring cover 28 that is screwed to the insertion tube 26 and the air intake tube 27 that is disposed outside the bathtub 1 are provided.

  A rear end portion of the air intake pipe 27 is attached to the attachment frame 5 of the electric switching valve 7. In the example of FIG. 2, a plurality of screw bosses 5b provided in the circumferential direction on the front surface of the mounting frame 5 and a plurality of screw bosses provided in the circumferential direction of the rear end portion of the air intake pipe 27 screwed to the insertion pipe 26 are provided. The air intake pipe 27 is fixedly integrated with the mounting frame 5 by fastening with a screw 3 (not shown). An air intake port 22 is provided at the center side of the air intake tube 27, and air flow paths 22a and 22b (see FIG. 5) from the air intake port 22 to the water flow ejected from an ejection port 2 of a nozzle body 24 described later by an ejector action. 1), the air is sucked and mixed into the inside of the jet port 2 so that the bubbled bath water can be jetted from the jet port 2 of the nozzle body 24. In addition, you may make it take in either the air in a bathroom, or the air with a high oxygen concentration from an oxygen enrichment apparatus in the air intake port 22. FIG.

  On the other hand, the insertion tube 26 is inserted into the opening 16c provided in the bathtub 1, and the flange portion 26a provided on one end side of the insertion tube 26 contacts the inner wall surface 16d of the bathtub 1 via the thin packing portion 31a. It comes to touch. An outer screw 26b (FIG. 5) provided on the other end side of the insertion tube 26 protrudes to the outer side F of the bathtub 1, and an inner screw 27a (FIG. 5) provided on the front end side of the air intake tube 27 with respect to the outer screw 26b. ) Are tightened with each other, whereby the insertion tube 26 and the air intake tube 27 are fastened. Further, a flange portion 27b that abuts on the outer wall surface 16e of the bathtub 1 projects from the outer peripheral portion of the front end of the air intake tube 27, and the insertion tube 26 is tightened between the insertion tube 26 and the air intake tube 27. The flange portion 26a and the flange portion 27b of the air intake pipe 27 sandwich the outer peripheral edge of the opening portion 16c of the bathtub 1, so that the insertion tube 26 and the air intake tube 27 sandwich the side wall portion 16a of the bathtub 1. In this state, they are fixed to each other. In this example, a watertight packing 31 is interposed between the flange portions 26a and 27b so that water in the bathtub 1 does not leak to the outside F. The watertight packing 31 of this example includes a thin packing portion 31a interposed between the flange portion 26a of the insertion tube 26 and the inner wall surface 16d of the bathtub 1, the flange portion 27b of the air intake tube 27, and the outer wall surface of the bathtub 1. The thick packing part 31b interposed between 16e is integrally formed.

  Next, the nozzle body 24 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the nozzle body 24 of the present example includes a jet port 2 on the front end side, and is fitted on the pair of direct connection outlets 13 a (13 a 1 and 13 a 2) of the electric switching valve 7 on the rear end side. A pair of directly connected flow path portions 2a (2a1, 2a2) that can be directly connected is provided, and a waterproof ring 34 is fitted to the outer peripheral ends of the directly connected flow path portions 2a1, 2a2. At the front end side of the pair of directly connected flow path portions 2a1 and 2a2, a merging flow path portion 36 that joins water from the pair of directly connected flow path portions 2a1 and 2a2 toward the inside of the jet nozzle 2 from different directions is provided. The electric switching valve 7 is tilted so that the ejection directions A to C from the outlet 2 change according to the change in the flow rate ratio at the pair of directly connected outlets 13a (13a1, 13a2) by the rotation of the rotary valve body 11. The inclined surfaces 2b1 and 2b2 are provided. Thereby, when the water from the confluence | merging flow path part 36 is ejected from the ejection port 2, it can be made to eject by changing the ejection directions (i)-(c) by the rotating valve body 11.

  The nozzle body 24 is attached by a ring cover 28. In this example, an outer peripheral rib 33 that is sandwiched between the ring cover 28 and the insertion tube 26 protrudes from the outer periphery of the nozzle body 24. First, from the inner side E of the bathtub 1, the pair of directly connected flow path portions 2 a (2 a 1, 2 a 2) of the nozzle body 24 is inserted into the insertion pipe 26, and the electric switching valve 7 attached in advance to the outer side F of the bathtub 1. By fitting into the pair of direct connection outlets 13a (13a1, 13a2), both are directly connected integrally without pipes (FIGS. 5 and 6). Thereafter, the ring cover 28 is fitted into the insertion tube 26 from the inner side E of the bathtub 1. Here, on the inner peripheral side of the ring cover 28, sliding contact is made with an external screw 28 a parallel to the axial direction of the ring cover 28 and small protrusions 33 a provided at a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction of the front surface of the outer peripheral rib 33 of the nozzle body 24. A possible pressing surface 28b is formed. In addition, the outer diameter of the ring cover is slightly larger than the flange portion of the insertion tube. On the other hand, an inner screw 26c is formed on the inner surface on the front end side of the insertion tube 26, and a stepped portion 26d that contacts the other surface of the outer peripheral rib 33 of the nozzle body 24 is formed on the inner side of the inner screw 26c. Then, by rotating the ring cover 28 from the inner side E of the bathtub 1 and screwing it onto the insertion pipe 26, the ring cover 28 and the insertion pipe 26 are fastened to each other and provided on the outer peripheral rib 33 of the nozzle body 24. The pressing surface 28b of the ring cover 28 presses the plurality of small protrusions 33a, and the pressing surface 38b of the outer peripheral rib 33 and the insertion tube 26 are reduced while reducing the contact area between the outer peripheral rib 33 and the pressing surface 28b of the ring cover 28. The nozzle body 24 is attached to the wall of the bathtub 1 via the ring cover 28 and the insertion tube 26.

  Accordingly, the mounting frame 5 of the electric switching valve 7 is screwed to the air intake pipe 27, and the pair of direct connection flow path portions 2 a 1 and 2 a 2 of the nozzle body 24 are forward of the pair of direct connection outlets 13 a of the electric switching valve 7. The electric switching valve 7 can be attached to the wall of the bathtub 1 and fitted to the wall of the bathtub 1 by a work procedure of fitting from the inner side E of the bathtub 1 and then screwing the ring cover 28. Since the nozzle body 24 and the electric switching valve 7 need not be installed at different positions and connected by piping as in the prior art, piping costs can be reduced and the flow rate due to piping pressure loss can be reduced. The problem of decline is also eliminated. Further, when the nozzle body 24 is installed at a plurality of locations in the bathtub 1, even when the distribution direction of the electric switching valve 7 is increased, the number of pipes is prevented from increasing, thereby reducing the labor of piping work and the piping cost. be able to. Further, since the electric switching valve 7 can be attached to the wall of the bathtub 1, there is no need to secure a piping space between the electric switching valve 7 and the nozzle body 24 on the outer side F of the bathtub 1, and the outside of the bathtub 1. For example, even when F has a primary pipe to, for example, a currant, there is an advantage that the installation degree of the electric switching valve 7 is not hindered and the degree of freedom in construction can be increased.

  Further, when the water flow is jetted from the jet outlet 2 of the nozzle body 24 and massaged by applying the water flow to the bather M, the flow rate ratio from the pair of directly connected outlets 13a is changed by the rotation of the rotary valve body 11. Thus, by using the inclined surfaces 2b1 and 2b2 of the merging channel portion 36, the ejection directions A to C from the ejection port 2 can be changed and applied to the body of the bather M. Here, an example of the merging channel portion 36 is shown in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an inclined surface 2b1 that is inclined toward the center side of the merging channel portion 36 is projected on the extension line of one directly connecting channel portion 2a1, and the other directly connecting channel portion 2a2. An inclined surface 2b2 that inclines toward the center side of the merging channel portion 36 is provided on the extended line. These inclined surfaces 2b1 and 2b2 are inclined in opposite directions so as to intersect with each other inside the merging channel portion 36. When water flows through the direct connection outlets 13a1 and 13a2 as shown in FIG. 7B, the direction of the water flow from the outlet 2 is the direction indicated by the arrow B in FIG. 1, and the rotary valve body 11 rotates. 7 (c), when water flows only through one direct connection outlet 13a1, the direction of the water flow from the outlet 2 is the direction indicated by arrow C in FIG. 1, and the rotary valve body 11 is further rotated. Accordingly, when water flows through the other outlet 13b and the other directly connected outlet 13a2 as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the jet direction of the water flow from the outlet 2 is the direction of the arrow a in FIG. Thus, since it can be made to eject, changing the ejection direction (a)-(c) of a water flow, the nozzle body 24 becomes a swing nozzle (ejection direction variable type nozzle) from which the ejection direction (a)-(c) changes. As a result, the bather M entering the bath 1 and taking a bath as shown in FIG. 3 does not move his / her body in the bath 1 and rubs against the different parts of the bather M in order by concentrating the water flow. Different parts can be effectively massaged in turn. In particular, the acupoint massage can be effectively performed by applying a water flow so as to intensively press and rub a plurality of acupoints in different parts of the body one by one.

  Further, in this example, the sole nozzle body 24 is directly connected to the pair of directly connected outlets 13a1 and 13a2 of the electric switching valve 7 on the toe side, and the remaining outlet 13b is connected to the calf via the feed pipe 21d. When the rotary valve body 11 is rotated and water flows into the outlet 13b as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, the water flow is generated from the calf nozzle body 24. It comes to erupt, and a massage effect can be obtained sequentially from the sole to the calf. Similarly, in the waist-side electric switching valve 7, the outlet port 13 b is connected to the thigh nozzle body 24 via the feed pipe 21 d, so that the rotary valve body 11 rotates and rotates as shown in FIG. ), (D), when water flows to the outlet 13b, a water flow is ejected from the thigh nozzle body 24, and a massage effect can be obtained sequentially from the thigh to the waist and back.

  Further, in this example, the ring cover 28 is detachably attached to the insertion tube 26 by screwing, so that the outer peripheral rib 33 of the nozzle body 24 is provided between the contact portion 28b of the ring cover 28 and the stepped portion 26d of the insertion tube 26. Therefore, when the nozzle body 24 is inspected or replaced, the nozzle body 24 can be easily removed simply by removing the ring cover 28 from the insertion tube 26, and maintenance work can be easily performed. There are also advantages.

  In the above-described embodiment, the ring cover 28, the insertion tube 26, and the air intake tube 27 are coupled by screw fastening, and the air intake tube 27, the annular flange portion 8a of the valve body 8 and the mounting frame 5 are respectively screwed. Although it connected with the tool, it is not restricted to this, For example, the method of connecting by a fitting system or fixing using an adhesive agent may be used.
