  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub mist cleaning device 4 used in the embodiment of the present cleaning method generates a communication space 3 and a mist generating part 40 formed in the bathtub wall 1 and a detergent liquid 5 stored in the mist generating part 40. The liquid storage tank 41, the liquid transport path 42, and the water supply path 43 constitute a main body.

  The liquid storage tank 41 is a tank for storing a stock solution 44 of detergent, and is installed outside the bathtub. In the vicinity of the bottom of the liquid storage tank 41, one end of a pipe serving as a liquid transport path 42 for transporting the stock solution 44 of the detergent stored in the liquid storage tank 41 is disposed. The liquid transport path 42 is provided with a liquid transport valve 45 for opening and closing the liquid transport path 42 in the middle, and the other end of the liquid transport path 42 is connected to the mist generating unit 40.

  The mist generating unit 40 has a structure capable of storing a liquid, and is connected to the other end of the liquid transport path 42 and to a water supply path 43 from a water supply source such as a water supply. A water supply valve 46 is provided in the middle of the water supply path 43. The mist generating unit 40 is supplied with the detergent stock solution 44 stored in the liquid storage tank 41 through the liquid transport path 42 by opening the liquid transport valve 45 and opening the water supply valve 46 from the water supply source. Water is supplied through the water supply path 43 to produce an aqueous solution having a predetermined concentration of the stock solution 44 of the detergent, thereby obtaining the detergent liquid 5 for mist cleaning. When rinsing cleaning is performed, only water is stored in the mist generating unit 40.

  Examples of the mist generating unit 40 include a mist generating unit 40 using ultrasonic vibration, a mist generating unit 40 using steam, a mist generating unit 40 using pressure spray, and a mist generating unit 40 using arc discharge. As a result, the mist M can be generated by the mist generator 40 with high efficiency.

  In the case of the mist generating unit 40 provided with the ultrasonic transducer 47, the ultrasonic transducer 47 is disposed so as to be immersed in the detergent liquid 5 accumulated in the mist generating unit 40, and a transmitter (not shown). ) Is supplied and the detergent liquid 5 is ultrasonically vibrated to generate a fine particle detergent mist M having a mist diameter of about 0.1 to 50 μm, for example. The mist generating unit 40 communicates with the bathtub interior space 2 through the communication space 3.

  In the case of the mist generating unit 40 by steam, the mist M is generated by heating the liquid and generating steam. Moreover, in the case of the mist generation | occurrence | production part by arc discharge, a high voltage is applied by a high voltage block and it is made mist. As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of the mist generating unit 40 provided with the ultrasonic vibrator 47 and the arc discharge electrode 48, the mist M can be generated with high efficiency.

  Further, the mist generating section 40 may be provided with a heating means 6 for heating the temperature of the liquid mist M, thereby generating the heated warm mist M to improve the diffusibility and the cleaning power. Can do.

  The communication space 3 is a space that communicates the bathtub inner space 2 and the mist generating portion 40 and serves as a path to the bathtub inner space 2 of the mist M. In this embodiment, the opening on one end side of the duct-like member 30 is a bathtub. It connects with the opening formed in the wall 1, and it is set as the opening part 31 to the bathtub inner space 2, and the opening of the other end side is connected to the mist generating part 40, and the inside of the duct-shaped member 30 becomes the communication space 3. Is.

  The operation of the bath mist cleaning device 4 will be described. First, the liquid transport valve 45 is opened, and the detergent stock solution 44 is transported from the liquid storage tank 41 to the mist generating section 40 via the liquid transport path 42, and the water supply valve 46 is opened and water is supplied to a mist generating unit 40 from a water supply source such as a water supply via a water supply path 43, and the detergent stock solution 44 is diluted to a predetermined concentration to produce the detergent liquid 5 for mist cleaning. The detergent stock solution may be a commercially available bathroom detergent (for example, “Bath Magiclin”). The dilution concentration is usually 10 times (in this case, for example, 270 cc of water relative to 30 cc of detergent), and the volume of the bath space 2 is 300 L. Prepare 300 cc of detergent solution 5 in the bathtub.

  Next, the ultrasonic vibrator 47 of the mist generating unit 40 is vibrated, and the detergent liquid 5 accumulated in the mist generating unit 40 is atomized to generate the detergent mist M. The generated detergent mist M is discharged to the bathtub inner space 2 through the communication space 3 for a predetermined time (for example, normally 60 minutes) and adheres to the bathtub wall 1 to float the dirt already attached to the bathtub wall 1. It is.

  When rinsing and cleaning the bathtub wall 1, the liquid transfer valve 45 is kept closed, the detergent stock solution 44 is not supplied to the mist generating unit 40, and the water supply valve 46 is opened to supply water to the mist generating unit 40. Then collect only water. Then, the ultrasonic vibrator 47 of the mist generating unit 40 is vibrated to atomize the water accumulated in the mist generating unit 40 to generate the water mist M and discharge it into the bathtub inner space 2. M is attached to the bathtub wall 1 to rinse the bathtub wall 1.

  The above-described operation is controlled by a control unit (not shown).

  In this way, the mist M of the detergent liquid 5 having a diameter of 0.1 to 50 μm is generated by the mist generating unit 40 and mist cleaning is performed, so that the dirt adhering to the surface of the bathtub wall 1 penetrates into this. The dirt can be lifted and removed, and cleaning can be performed to every corner regardless of the shape of the bathtub, and the growth of mold and fungi can be suppressed.

  In this example, when the liquid conveyance path 42 and the water supply path 43 are connected to one mist generating part 40 and the mist M of the detergent liquid 5 is generated, the stock solution of the detergent is supplied via the liquid conveyance path 42. At the same time, when the water is supplied through the water supply path 43 and the detergent solution 5 is accumulated in the mist generating section 40 to generate the mist M of water, the water is supplied through the water supply path 43 and water is supplied to the mist generating section 40. Thus, both the mist M of the detergent solution 5 and the mist M of water can be generated by one mist generating unit 40.

  In addition, in a device including such a mist generating unit 40 by ultrasonic vibration, the diameter of the mist M generated by increasing or decreasing the frequency of ultrasonic waves can be adjusted. When the mist M is generated by high-frequency ultrasonic vibration, a mist M having a small diameter (about 0.1 to 20 μm) is generated, and even with a small amount, the diffusion efficiency and permeability are increased, and the cleaning effect is high. When the mist M is generated by low-frequency ultrasonic vibration, a mist M having a large diameter (about 1 to 50 μm) is generated, and a large amount of mist M is generated, so that the rinsing cleaning is effectively performed.

  Next, a modified example of this apparatus will be described. In this example, the mist generator 40 controls the detergent concentration of the detergent liquid 5 for generating the mist M of the detergent liquid 5 and the discharge amount of the mist M of the detergent liquid 5 to be automatically adjusted. .

  For example, when the dirt is severe, a “strong cleaning mode” is input by the operation unit, thereby generating a detergent liquid 5 having a detergent concentration of, for example, twice that of normal (ie, 5 times dilution) to generate a mist generating unit. 40, and mist cleaning is performed for 1.5 to 3 times the normal time (that is, 90 to 180 minutes). This makes it possible to perform strong mist cleaning simply by setting the “strong cleaning mode”.

  Next, an embodiment of the present cleaning method will be described. In this embodiment, the adhesion efficiency to the bathtub wall 1 of the mist M of the liquid discharged to the bathtub inner space 2 is adjusted by increasing / decreasing the volume of the bathtub inner space 2.

  The volume of the bathtub inner space 2 is increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the bath water accumulated in the bathtub inner space 2, or the bath lid 7 provided with the enormous portion 71 protruding into the bathtub inner space 2 is placed. (See FIG. 3).

  When the bath water is increased or decreased, the mist M can be intensively discharged near the draft surface of the bathtub wall 1 where dirt is most likely to adhere by lowering the draft surface by several centimeters from the normal draft surface. Cleaning efficiency can be improved. Moreover, when the bath lid 7 provided with the enormous portion as shown in FIG. 3 is placed, the mist M can be intensively discharged near the entire surface of the bathtub wall 1 to improve the cleaning efficiency. Can be improved.

  Next, another embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, the pressure in the bathroom B is increased or decreased by the intake / exhaust means 8, and the pressure in the bathroom B is increased or decreased by the intake / exhaust means 8 such as a ventilation fan in the bathroom B. By doing so, the mist M is spread over the details of the bathtub. Thereby, it becomes possible to remove dirt in the details of the bathtub. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a branch path 33 that branches off from the communication space 3 and can be discharged into the space S between the bathtub wall 1 and the apron 9 is provided, and valves 32 and 34 are provided in the communication space 3 and the branch path 33. If each is provided and the discharge of the mist M is switched not only to the bathtub inner space 2 but also to the space S in the apron 9 so as to be discharged, the dirt in the apron can be removed.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, by installing a partition 9 at the substantially central portion in the vertical direction of the bathroom B, more mist M spreads in the details of the lower part where the bathtub is provided, and the intake and exhaust means 8 Circulation of mist improves cleaning efficiency.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6, at the same time as the mist cleaning starts, the valve V1 for draining the sealed water in the sealed water portion F of the bathtub is opened and the sealed water is drained, so that a large amount of mist M reaches the sealed water portion F and is washed. Is done.
