ところで、前記浴槽装置に前記泡式入浴システムを適用して、浴槽の浴湯面上に外径の略等しい温泡を供給して一層の泡層で浴湯面上を覆った入浴装置にして、温泡の泡層で入浴を楽しむようにすることが考えられる。   By the way, the foam bathing system is applied to the bath apparatus, and hot baths having substantially the same outer diameter are supplied onto the bath surface of the bath so that the bath surface is covered with a single foam layer. It is conceivable to enjoy bathing with a foam layer of warm foam.

しかし、外径の略等しい温泡からなる一層の泡層のみでは、泡層の質感が一種類のみであり楽しむ範囲も限られる。   However, with only a single foam layer made of warm foam having substantially the same outer diameter, the foam layer has only one type of texture and the range of enjoyment is limited.

そこで、本発明は、楽しむ範囲を広げられるように、質感の異なる二種類の泡層を楽しむことができる入浴システムの提供を目的とする。 Accordingly, the present invention is, as can be spread range enjoy, for the purpose of two kinds of provision of input bath system that Ru can enjoy foam layer textured.

質感の異なる二種類の泡層を楽しむことができるようにするために請求項記載の本発明が採用した手段は、図1(A)及び図2に示す如く、浴湯Bを張ることができる浴槽3と、浴槽内3aの浴湯面Baより下方へ細泡dを吐出する気泡式ジェット装置4と、浴槽内3aの浴湯面Baより上方へ泡径が細泡dより小さい泡剤を含む微細泡eを吐出する微細泡供給装置5とを備えたことを特徴とする入浴システム2である。 In order to make it possible to enjoy two types of foam layers having different textures, the means adopted by the present invention as claimed in claim 1 can stretch the bath water B as shown in FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. The bathtub 3 that can be formed, the bubble jet device 4 that discharges the fine bubbles d downward from the bath surface Ba in the bathtub 3a, and the foaming agent that has a foam diameter smaller than the fine bubbles d above the bath surface Ba in the bathtub 3a. The bath system 2 includes a fine bubble supply device 5 that discharges the fine bubbles e containing the water.

請求項記載の本発明にあっては、図1(A)に示す如く、浴槽3に張った浴湯Bへ気泡式ジェット装置4から吐出した細泡dが、浴湯B内を浮上して浴湯面Ba上に細泡層Dを形成すると共に、微細泡供給装置5から浴槽内3aへ吐出した微細泡eが、細泡層Dの上に微細泡層Eを形成する。 In the present invention according to claim 1 , as shown in FIG. 1A, the fine bubbles d discharged from the bubble jet device 4 to the bath water B stretched on the bathtub 3 float in the bath water B. The fine foam layer D is formed on the bath surface Ba, and the fine foam e discharged from the fine foam supply device 5 into the bathtub 3a forms the fine foam layer E on the fine foam layer D.

請求項記載に係る入浴システムは、浴湯面上に下層の細泡層及び上層の微細泡層を形成することができ、形成した細泡層と微細泡層とでは質感が異なるため、入浴者が質感の異なる泡層を楽しむことが可能となり、楽しむ範囲を広げることができる。また、浴湯面より上方へ微細泡を吐出するので、微細泡が浴槽内の浴湯で潰されることがなくなると共に、浴槽内の浴湯で微細泡の水分分離が促進されることもない。更に、細泡は微細泡よりも効率的に発生させることができるため、下方に細泡層があることにより素早く泡量を確保できる。 The bathing system according to claim 1 can form a lower fine foam layer and an upper fine foam layer on the bath surface, and the formed fine foam layer and the fine foam layer have different textures. It is possible for a person to enjoy a foam layer with a different texture, and the range of enjoyment can be expanded. Further, since the fine bubbles are discharged upward from the bath surface, the fine bubbles are not crushed by the bath water in the bathtub, and the water separation of the fine bubbles is not promoted by the bath water in the bathtub. Furthermore, since fine bubbles can be generated more efficiently than fine bubbles, the amount of bubbles can be secured quickly by the presence of a fine bubble layer below.

Sometimes.

前記浴槽3は、図1に示す如く、給湯器(図示略)から給湯された湯水を吐出口具7又は水栓(図示略)から浴槽内3aへ吐出させるように配管され(図示略)、浴湯Bを張ることができるようにしてある。   As shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub 3 is piped (not shown) so that hot water supplied from a water heater (not shown) is discharged from the discharge port 7 or a faucet (not shown) into the bathtub 3a. The bath B can be stretched.

本発明入浴システム2で浴槽内3aへ微細泡eを供給させる運転態様のときには、図2に示す如く、浴槽3に浴湯Bを張った状態でポンプ10を起動させ、気泡式ジェット装置4の吐出口具7から湯水bと共に吐出する多数の細泡dを浴湯B内で浮上させて、図1(A)に示すように浴湯面Ba上に温泡である細泡dからなる細泡層Dを形成すると共に、起動した微細泡供給装置5の吐出具15から浴槽3a内へ吐出する微細泡eを細泡層D上に積層させて、細泡層D上に温泡である微細泡eからなる微細泡層Eを形成して、入浴装置1を得ることができる。 In the operation mode in which the fine foam e is supplied to the inside 3a of the bathtub in the bathing system 2 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. A large number of fine bubbles d discharged together with the hot water b from the discharge port 7 float up in the bath water B, and as shown in FIG. 1 (A), the fine bubbles d consisting of fine bubbles d which are hot bubbles on the bath surface Ba. While forming the bubble layer D, the fine bubble e discharged from the discharge tool 15 of the activated fine bubble supply device 5 into the bathtub 3a is laminated on the fine bubble layer D, and the fine bubble layer D is a hot bubble. to form a fine foam layer E consisting of microfoam e, it is possible to obtain the input bath apparatus 1.

入浴者は、微細泡層Eの層厚みが所望寸法(例えば、20〜100mm)となったならば微細泡供給装置5を停止させ、微細泡eの消泡で微細泡層Eの層厚みが小さくなったならば微細泡供給装置5を再起動させるとよい。また、入浴者は、浴湯Bに含有する泡剤の成分が少ないときには細泡層Dの細泡dが消泡し易いので、気泡式ジェット装置4のポンプ10を連続又は断続的に運転させるとよい。   The bather stops the fine foam supply device 5 when the thickness of the fine foam layer E reaches a desired dimension (for example, 20 to 100 mm), and the thickness of the fine foam layer E is reduced by defoaming the fine foam e. If it becomes small, it is good to restart the fine bubble supply apparatus 5. FIG. In addition, when the bather B has a small amount of the foam component contained in the bath water B, the fine bubbles d of the fine foam layer D are easily removed, so that the pump 10 of the bubble jet device 4 is operated continuously or intermittently. Good.

本発明入浴システム2で得た入浴装置1は、図1(A)に示す如く、浴槽3の浴湯面Ba上を覆う泡剤を含む泡層が、細泡dからなる細泡層Dと泡径が細泡dより小さい微細泡eからなる微細泡層Eとの二層からなり、細泡層Dと微細泡層Eとでは質感が異なるため、入浴者が好みや気分に合わせて質感の異なる泡層を楽しむことが可能となり、入浴者の楽しむ範囲を広げることができる。 The present invention bathing system 2 input bath apparatus 1 obtained in, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), the foam layer including a foaming agent covering the Yokuyumen Ba tub 3, fine bubble layer D made of fine bubble d And the bubble size E is smaller than the fine bubble d, and the fine bubble layer E is made of a fine bubble e. Since the texture is different between the fine bubble layer D and the fine bubble layer E, the bather can adapt to the taste and mood. It is possible to enjoy foam layers with different textures, and the range for bathers to enjoy can be expanded.

本発明入浴システム2は、浴槽内3aへの微細泡eの供給を停止させる運転態様のときには、図2に示す如く、第1の三方弁12を切り替えて、微細泡供給装置5の微細泡生成装置14への湯水bの供給を停止させると共に、ポンプ10で圧送される湯水bを一方の配管9Aを介して吐出口具7から浴槽3の浴湯B内へ細泡dと共に吐出させ、更に、第2の三方弁13を切り替えて、他方の湯水用分岐管17を介して吐出具15の湯水用流路15の吐出口から浴槽内3aへ向けて湯水bを吐出させることができる。 When the bathing system 2 of the present invention is in an operation mode in which the supply of the fine bubbles e into the bathtub 3a is stopped, the first three-way valve 12 is switched as shown in FIG. The supply of hot water b to the device 14 is stopped, and hot water b pumped by the pump 10 is discharged from the discharge port 7 into the bath water B of the bathtub 3 together with the fine bubbles d through one pipe 9A. By switching the second three-way valve 13, the hot water b can be discharged from the discharge port of the hot water flow path 15 b of the discharge tool 15 toward the interior 3 a of the bathtub via the other hot water branch pipe 17.

本発明入浴システム2は、以下に示す効果もある。例えば、浴槽3の湯面Ba上に細泡層Dのみを生成した場合には冬場等の場合には外気より冷たくなり易いが、細泡層Dの上に加熱により温められ、熱を持った微細泡層Eを生成することにより、微細泡の熱がその下の細泡層Dに伝わっていき、冷たくなり難い快適な泡入浴が実現可能となる。 The bathing system 2 of the present invention has the following effects. For example, when only the fine foam layer D is generated on the hot water surface Ba of the bathtub 3, it is likely to be cooler than the outside air in winter or the like, but it is heated by heating on the fine foam layer D and has heat. By generating the fine foam layer E, the heat of the fine foam e is transmitted to the fine foam layer D below, and a comfortable foam bath that is difficult to become cold can be realized.

また、微細泡生成装置14の微細泡eの生成能力が十分でない場合であっても、細泡dを効率よく発生できる気泡式ジエット装置4で素早く細泡層Dを生成して水位をかせぎ、その上に微細泡層Eを生成することで、所望の水位にまで短時間で細泡dおよび微細泡eを発生させての入浴が可能となる。このような泡発生を行なうと、コンパクトで安価な微細泡生成装置14により実現が可能となる。   Moreover, even if the fine bubble generating device 14 is not capable of generating the fine bubbles e, the bubble-type jet device 4 that can efficiently generate the fine bubbles d can quickly generate the fine bubble layer D and increase the water level. By forming the fine bubble layer E thereon, bathing can be performed by generating the fine bubbles d and the fine bubbles e in a short time to the desired water level. If such bubble generation is performed, it can be realized by the compact and inexpensive fine bubble generation device 14.

Compressed air whose pressure has been adjusted is supplied to either one, and either one of the fine bubbles e and the fine bubbles f is generated first, and the fine bubbles e are discharged from the discharge tool 15 as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, the fine bubbles f are discharged to form the lower fine bubble layer E or the fine bubble layer F in a desired thickness (for example, 20 to 100 mm), and then the valve 64 is switched to make the fine bubble nozzle 25 and the fine bubble nozzle.
