Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a bathing device with a shower head, such as an elevating bathtub in which a patient is placed on a stretcher and bathed together with the stretcher, or an assistance bathtub in which the stretcher is raised and lowered to take a bath. It is.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a bathtub in which a patient is placed and bathed together with a stretcher, or in an assistance bathtub in which a stretcher is raised and lowered, the stretcher is configured to be reclinable, and the backrest of the stretcher is slightly raised from the horizontal position so that the patient's head can be raised. I was giving it a bath without submerging it. However, in the case of patients with heart disease or hypertension, bathing up to the shoulders was avoided for safety reasons.
It was necessary for a caregiver to use a shower device or hand basin to pour hot water onto the shoulders, chest, and other areas that were coming out of the hot water to keep them warm or perform pine surges.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The method of using a shower device or a hand basin as described above requires a great deal of effort from the caregiver, and it is not possible to heat a wide area at once; There were problems such as being unable to warm the patient.

This invention was made to solve these problems, and the purpose is to provide a bathing device with a shower head that sufficiently warms the bather (patient) and reduces the labor burden on the caregiver.

[Means for solving the problem] The bathing device with a shower head according to this invention has the following features:
A shower head or a shower spout is provided at the upper part of the backrest of the stretcher, and a water supply pipe connected to the discharge side of an electric pump that delivers hot water from the bathtub through a rubber gasket at the bottom of the stretcher is connected to the backrest of the stretcher. The shower head is disposed on the back side of the shower head and shower hot water is spouted from the shower head or spout.

[Function] In the bathing device with a shower head of this invention, shower heads or spout ports connected to an electric pump for supplying hot water from the bathtub are provided on both sides of the upper part of the backrest of the stretcher. It can give a sufficient amount of wrinkles.

[Example] Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway side view showing a bathing device with a shower head which is an embodiment of this invention, Fig. 2 is a partially broken back view showing the above mentioned bathing device with a shower head, and Fig. 3 is a partially cut away side view showing the above bathing device with a shower head. Enlarged schematic diagram showing the water pipe connection part of the attached bathing device, Figures 1 and 2
The bathing device with a shower head shown in the figure shows a case where the bathtub is of an elevating type. In the figure, 1 is a bathtub;
2 is a stretcher on which a bather is placed, 3 is the backrest of the stretcher 2, 4 is a stretcher support base, and 5 is a shower head provided on both sides of the upper part of the backrest 3, the upper part of which can be rotated to change its direction. There is. 6 is a water pipe arranged on the back side of the backrest portion 3; 7 is an electric pump for delivering hot water from the bathtub 1; 8 is a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering the bathtub 1; 9 is the hydraulic cylinder 8 mentioned above.
10 is a link device that raises and lowers the bathtub 1 together with the hydraulic cylinder 8; 11 is a support for the stretcher support 4 that passes through approximately the center of the bathtub 1; A water conduit 16 for hot water sent from the pump 7 passes through it.

Reference numeral 12 indicates a control valve for adjusting the amount of hot water provided at the base of the shower head 5, reference numeral 13 indicates a connection portion of the water supply pipe 6 provided at a position opposite to the upper end of the support column 11 at the lower part of the stretcher 2, and reference numeral 13a indicates a rubber gasket thereof. 14 is a suction port of an electric pump 7 provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1. Although the connecting portion 13 is constructed as shown in FIG. 3, the rubber gasket 13a may be provided at the upper end of the support column 11.

With the above configuration, hot water sucked in by the electric pump 7 from the suction port 14 provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1 passes through the water supply channel 16 of the support 11, the connection part 13, the water pipe 6, etc. The water is sent to the shower head 5 and squirts out from above both shoulders of the bather, so that the shoulders, chest, etc. of the bather can be widely and continuously irrigated.

FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway rear view showing a bathing device with a shower head which is another embodiment of this invention.
This embodiment is a bathing device in which the bathtub 1 is fixed, and the stretcher 2 is moved in and out of the bathtub 1 using, for example, a hydraulic lifting stretcher 17.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 17 is a hydraulic lift type stretcher, and reference numeral 18 is a delivery column for delivering water to the shower head 5 via the rubber seal 13a of the connecting portion 13 at the bottom of the stretcher 2. In the figure, other symbols indicate the same or equivalent parts as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Although not shown in the figure, Figures 1 and 2
As shown in the figure, a suction port 14 is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1, and is connected to the suction side of the electric pump 7, and the discharge side of the electric pump 7 is connected to the water supply column 18. The water supply column 18 is located approximately in the center of the bottom of the bathtub 1, and the stretcher 2 is placed on a hydraulic lifting stretcher 17.
It is provided through the bottom of the bathtub 1 at a position facing the connecting portion 13 at the bottom of the stretcher 2 when it is placed in the bathtub 1. Therefore, stretcher 2 is bathtub 1
Once inside, the hot water in the bathtub 1 is pumped by an electric pump 7.
It is configured such that it can be delivered to the shower head 5 via the rubber gasket 13a.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the shower head 5, in which the upper part of the backrest part 3 is longer than that shown in FIG. , shower head 5
It is also possible to transform it in this way.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, this invention is a bathing device in which a bather is placed in a bathtub along with a stretcher to take a bath.
A shower head is provided at the upper part of the backrest of the stretcher, and hot water in the bathtub is sent to the shower head by an electric pump installed in the bathing device, so that the shoulders, chest, etc. of the bather can be showered continuously over a wide area. Therefore, when bathing patients with heart disease or hypertension, elderly people, etc., the hot bath effect can be enhanced while avoiding risks such as heart attacks, and the labor of the caregiver can be significantly reduced. In addition, even a shallow bath can be expected to have the effects of heat retention and pine surge, making it possible to expand the range of patients eligible for bathing. Furthermore, it is possible to consider a device in which a shower head is provided at the edge of the bathtub at a position opposite to the shoulders of the bather, and the shower head is placed on the bather's shoulders and chest. When doing so, there is a risk that the stretcher may collide with the shower head and cause damage, so it was necessary to fold down the shower head each time. However, the bathing device with a shower head according to this invention does not require the above-mentioned operations, does not cause erroneous operations that would damage the shower head, and has excellent effects such as being simple and inexpensive to construct.
