Abstract

PURPOSE: To rotate the whole nozzle body to efficiently jet water on a human body by rotatably fixing the nozzle body provided with a number of water-jet faces on one side face, in a cantilever condition. CONSTITUTION: In a nozzle body 3 shaped as a plate-form, a plurality of holes 4 are formed on one side face, and a water passage connected to these holes 4 is arranged in the inside, and a water supply opening is formed to pour water from the outside into the water passage. A water supply means 14 to feed water into the water supply opening is arranged and the nozzle body 3 is rotatably fixed by a support shaft 8 in a room, in a cantilever state. As a result, the whole nozzle body can be rotated and water is prevented from splashing as much as possible to efficiently jet water to a human body.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications This invention relates to a shower device.

Conventional technology A conventional shower device will be described below.

Figure 5 shows an example of a full-body shower system designed for comfort.
There is one shown in FIG. In FIGS. 5 and 6, water and hot water supplied from a cold water pipe 25 and a hot water pipe 26 are mixed through a thermovalve 27, and the mixed water at an appropriate temperature is sent to a nozzle section 29. The nozzle portions 29 are embedded vertically in two sides of a side wall 30 in a part of the corner of the bathroom.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, multiple nozzles are attached to the wall of a shower room or bathroom, etc., or a water supply pipe is installed in the wall to lead water to each nozzle. It was necessary to bury them vertically and horizontally, making the installation work quite extensive.

In addition, in order to bury these items inside a wall, the wall must be made sufficiently thick, and it is not possible to install them anywhere, which imposes severe restrictions on installation. Also, although the direction of each individual nozzle can be changed somewhat, it is not possible to change the direction of water jetting from all nozzles at once, and the user has to
Sometimes I felt inconvenienced.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is formed into a plate shape, has a water channel inside, and has a plurality of holes on one side that communicate with the water channel, and is provided with a plurality of holes that communicate with the water channel from the outside. A nozzle body equipped with a water supply port for pouring water into the water channel was attached to the floor, ceiling, wall, etc. of a room in a cantilevered form, that is, rotatably at one side.

Function As described above, by attaching the plate-shaped nozzle body so that it can freely rotate in a cantilevered manner, it becomes possible to rotate and displace the nozzle body using one side as a fulcrum, and the water jetting surface of the nozzle body The direction can be changed freely.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bathroom, and in Figure 2,
1 is a bathtub and 2 is a washing area. 3 is a flat nozzle plate with an equidistant fire, and has a large number of water spouts and air blowing ports on its surface.

The internal structure of the nozzle plate 3 will be explained based on FIG. Reference numeral 3a denotes a substrate, and an outer plate 3b is formed on the outer periphery, and a partition body 3c is formed on the inner side. Partition body 3c
are continuously provided vertically and horizontally on the substrate 3a, forming water passages 3d and ventilation passages 3e. 3f is a nozzle plate cover attached to the substrate 3a. The nozzle plate cover 3f is attached to the substrate 3a so as to sandwich the outer plate 3b and the partition body 3c.
, and is bonded to the upper end of the outer plate 3b and the partition body 3C. As a result, water is maintained between the water passage 3d and the air passage 3e and the outside, or between the water passage 3d and the air passage 3e.

Reference numeral 4 indicates a water outlet formed in the nozzle plate cover 3f, and 5 indicates an air outlet also formed in the nozzle plate cover.The water outlet 4 communicates with the air passage 3d, while the air outlet 5 communicates with the air passage 3e
is connected to.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a nozzle plate support shaft, which serves as a rotation axis of the nozzle plate 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rotation axis of the nozzle plate 3, that is, the nozzle plate support shaft 8, is installed on the wall 6 at a location some distance from the corner with the wall 7, and the nozzle plate 3 It is rotatably fixed to the nozzle plate support shaft 8 at the nozzle plate, and is installed so that the water jetting surface can face the wall 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a water heater that pumps hot water to the bathtub 1 and nozzle plate 3, and is installed outside. 10 is 0N- for the shower
A shower knob 11 is used to turn off the shower temperature.

12 is a blower that blows air to the nozzle plate 3;
It is installed in

The operation will be explained below. Nozzle plate 3 as mentioned above
is rotatably attached to the nozzle plate support shaft 8, and when the nozzle plate 3 is closed, as shown by the solid line in Fig. 1, the water and air ejection surface is hidden, and as shown by the broken line. The jetting surface is exposed when the nozzle plate is opened as shown in the figure. Further, since the rotation axis of the nozzle plate 3, that is, the nozzle plate support shaft 8, is installed on the wall 6 and at a location somewhat away from the corner with the wall 7, when the nozzle plate 3 is open, the nozzle plate 3 A space large enough for one person to fit is formed between the wall 7 and the wall 7. With such a configuration, during use, water will be ejected toward the wall 7 as shown by the arrow, and water will be prevented from scattering to the outside. The user enters the space and operates the temperature knob 11 and the shower knob 10. Then, moderately warm water is supplied from the water heater 9 via the hot water supply pipe 14, and is squirted from the water spout 4 toward the body. Further, when the blower 12 is operated to supply warm air, the warm air is blown out from the air outlet 5.

When used in this way, this device also functions as a body dryer.

In addition to blowing warm air directly onto a person's body,
By operating the blower 12 with the blowing surface facing the center of the bathroom, the hot air blowing function can be used to heat the bathroom, and the hot air blowing function can also be used to turn the entire bathroom into a dryer. It is also possible to use

Also, if the nozzle plate is made of a transparent material, the shadow caused by the nozzle plate can be eliminated, and the shower room can be kept bright.

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, nozzle plates having the same structure as the nozzle plate 3 in FIG. 1 are installed on both walls 6 and 7. In FIG. 4, 10a is a nozzle plate having the same structure as the nozzle plate 3 in the previous embodiment, lOb is a nozzle plate configured symmetrically with the nozzle plate 10a, and the nozzle plate 10b is installed on the wall 7. . With such a configuration, the water ejected from both nozzle plates will be directed toward the wall 6 or the wall 7, respectively, and the scattering of water will be further suppressed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, the nozzle body having a large number of water jetting surfaces on the surface is rotatably fixed in a cantilevered form, thereby making it possible to rotationally displace the entire nozzle body. The user can freely change the direction of the water jetting surface of the nozzle body, suppressing water scattering as much as possible and applying water to the body efficiently (very convenient).In addition, the installation work is relatively simple. Since it is simple and there are few restrictions on installation, it is easy to install it later in a completed bathroom.
