Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a bathtub with a dirt collection mechanism.

Conventionally, a filter body for separating and removing the dirt collected by the dirt collection device was attached to the upper surface of the flange of the bathtub body. For this reason,
The filter body sometimes gets in the way of the bathtub lid, and the size of the filter body is limited by the thickness of the flange. Furthermore, since suction force is generated in this filter body part due to its structure, if the filter body is installed on the top surface of the flange, air will be sucked in from this part unless the airtightness of this part is ensured, resulting in a drop in the efficiency of the dirt collection device. It was hot.

The present invention was made in view of the drawbacks of the conventional examples mentioned above, and its purpose is to provide a filter on the side wall of the bathtub body so that it does not get in the way of covering the bathtub lid, and the filter body To provide a bathtub with a dirt collecting mechanism which is not limited in size and has no risk of sucking air from a filter body.

The bathtub with a sludge collection mechanism according to the present invention is provided with a sludge collection device 2 in the bathtub body 1 that sucks scum from the water surface together with hot water, and a jet pump 6 that discharges bath water into the bathtub body 1. , scum collection device 2
A filter housing 10 provided in the piping route between the bathtub body 1 and the jet pump 6 is attached to the side wall of the bathtub body 1, and the filter housing 10 is opened inward of the bathtub body 1 to separate and remove dirt. The device is characterized in that it is detachably attached to the filter storage section 10 and the opening of the filter storage section 10 is covered with a filter cover 8.The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The structure of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 a, b, and c, in which a scum collection device 2 is provided in a recess 4 in the bathtub body 1, and a suction port 5 and a removable filter are provided on the side wall. A jet pump 6 is installed between the recesses 4, and a circulation pump (not shown) is installed outside the bathtub body 1.

However, it operates as follows. First, bath water (hot water) is supplied from the suction port 5 by the circulation pump.
Bath water is sucked in (arrow A) through piping C, pressurized by the circulation pump, and sent to jet pump 6 through piping A (arrow B). The jet pump 6 generates a suction force by the bath water sent in, and sucks the bath water from the pipe B (arrow C). Piping B is connected to filter body 3, and piping A is connected to filter body 3.
The dirt collecting device 2 is connected to the device. Therefore, when suction force is applied to the dirt collecting device 2, the results shown in FIG. 4a,
As shown in b, the scum collection device 2 extends to the water surface, sucks in scum along with the bath water (arrow D), sends it to the filter body 3 through pipe A (arrow H), and filters the scum from the filter body 3.
After removing scale, it is discharged from the jet pump 6 through pipe B (arrow C).

The filter body 3 has a function of collecting dirt using a filter paper 7 suitable for removing dirt, and has a structure as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the filter cover 8
The filter paper 7 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the filter wrapping cylinder 9 that is integrated with the bathtub body 1. Storage part 10
is connected to pipes A and B. The dirt carried along with the bath water is collected by the filter paper 7 attached to the filter wrapping cylinder 9, and the bath water that has passed through this is returned to the bathtub through the jet pump 6. . The filter cover 8 and the filter wrapping cylinder 9 are integrated, and the filter body 3 can be taken out by removing the filter cover 8 from inside the bathtub. Further, the material and shape of the filter body 3 are not limited as long as it has the ability to collect dirt.

As described above, the present invention is equipped with a dirt collection device that sucks dirt from the water surface along with hot water inside the bathtub body, and a filter body for separating and removing dirt is removably attached to the side wall of the bathtub body. When putting the bathtub lid on top, the filter body does not get in the way, it can be closed tightly, the size of the filter body is not limited, and it is possible to use a filter body that is large enough not to clog. Moreover, even if the airtightness of the filter body is high, if the filter body is installed so that it is below the water surface when in use, there is no risk of it being sealed by water and air being sucked in, which will reduce the dirt collection efficiency. There is an advantage that there is no In addition, the filter storage section provided in the piping route between the dirt collection device and the jet pump is attached to the side wall of the bathtub body, and the filter storage section is opened inward of the bathtub body, so that the filter body for collecting dirt is placed in the filter storage section. Since the filter is removably attached to the filter and the opening of the filter housing is covered with a filter cover, the filter body is stored inside the filter housing and there is no possibility that it may be touched by hands from the outside and the dirt separation and removal ability may deteriorate. In addition, even though the filter body is stored in the filter housing part, it is possible to remove the filter body from the filter housing part by removing the filter cover inside the bathtub body. It is easy to clean and inspect, and since the filter mechanism is installed in the piping route between the dirt collection device and the jet pump,
Unlike when a filter mechanism is provided directly to a dirt collection device or a jet pump, the device does not become complicated and cleaning and inspection of the filter body becomes difficult.
