(f) Embodiments Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Overall configuration of bubble generating bathtub]

First, the overall structure of the bubble-generating bathtub equipped with the operating section switch structure according to the present invention will be explained.

In Figs. 1 and 2, (^) is a bubble-generating bathtub, and the bubble-generating bathtub (A) has a bathtub body (1) formed in a box shape with an opening on the top, on the front and rear walls and on the left and right side walls, respectively. Spout nozzles for the legs, back, and chest that automatically vary the amount of spray (2H
2), (3), (3), and (4) (4) are provided for a total of six.

The specific structure of the jet nozzles (2), (3), and (4) is similar to that described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-73367 previously filed by the applicant.

The bathtub body (1) has a flange-shaped edge (la) of a constant width on the periphery, and an air intake portion (la) on the edge (la).
5) and an operation panel section (6) as an operation section are integrally attached, and a vertically elongated recess (Ib) in a transverse V-shape is formed approximately at the center of the left and right side walls. )(1b
) on the side facing the rear wall (dorsal side) (1'b) (1'
In b), the chest side jet nozzle (4) (4) is attached toward the center of the rear wall.

In addition, a pump protection case (K) is installed outside the bubble generating bathtub (^), and inside the case (K),
A circulation pump (1)) that circulates bath water and the same pump (P
) and a pump drive motor (M) that drives the pump (P).
and a control unit (C) that controls the drive of the same motor (M), a motor (old) for opening and closing the nozzle valve body of each jet nozzle, and an electric three-way valve (G).

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit (C) includes a microprocessor (MPU) and a human output interface (a) (1).
)), a memory (s) consisting of ROM and RAM, and a timer (1).

Moreover, a bath water circulation flow path (D) is interposed between the circulation pump (P) and the bubble generating bathtub (^>).

In other words, the bath water circulation flow path (D) has a bubble light □ and the bathtub (＾
) to the circulation pump (P), and from the circulation pump (P) to the bathtub (A).
) and a bath water blast vibrator (11) for sending bath water to the bath water.

And the bath suction vibe (lO) is attached to the bathtub body (1).
One end is connected to the inlet (im) opened at the bottom of the
The other end of the circulation pump (P) is connected to the water intake port of the circulation pump (P) so that bath water is sucked into the same circulation pump (P), while the bath water bullet feed vibrator (11) has one end connected to the water outlet of the circulation pump (P). and the other ends thereof are connected to the jet nozzles (2), (3), and (4), respectively.

Moreover, the above-mentioned suction port (1 m) is provided at a lower position than the foot side and dorsal side jet nozzles (2) and (3).

In addition, the above-mentioned air intake part (5) and each jet nozzle (2)
(3) (4) Intake vibes (12) (13)
) (14), each jet nozzle (2) (3)
Using the negative pressure generated when the hot water spouts out in (4), the air taken in from the air intake part (5) is transferred to the intake vibrator (12).
(13) (14) Through each jet nozzle (2) (3
) (4) and each jet nozzle (2) (3)
(4) The bath water mixed with air bubbles can be spouted into the bathtub body (1).

Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 2, an inverter (+) is interposed between the pump drive motor (M) that drives the circulation pump (P) and the control section (C). )
By controlling the rotation speed of the circulation pump (P) by changing the output frequency of the circulation pump (P), the rotation speed of the circulation pump (P) can be changed smoothly and reliably.

In addition, the middle part of the bath water suction vibe (lO) (circulation pump (
As shown in Figure 2, a pressure detection sensor (S) is installed on the suction side of the bathtub body (P), which can also be used as the suction side. , a circulation pump (
The pressure of the bath water sucked into P) can be detected.

Based on the water level measured by the output from the pressure detection sensor (S), the control unit (C) controls the start and stop of the blow operation, antifreeze operation, filter cleaning operation, and automatic filter cleaning operation. fM is dominant.

The details of each of these operations are the same as those described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-73367 previously filed by the applicant.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 2, a bath water temperature detection sensor (T) is installed in the middle of the bath water pumping vibrator (11) to detect the temperature of the bath water being pumped through the pipe (11). After installation, the detection results from the sensor (T) are sent to the control unit (C), which controls the pump drive motor (M) and each jet nozzle (2), (3), and (4). That's what I do.

By using such a bath water temperature detection sensor (T), when the hot water supply does not reach a certain water temperature, the blowing operation by the control unit (C) is prevented from starting.

In this way, the blowing operation by the control unit (C) is prevented from starting if the bath water does not reach a certain water level and a certain water temperature.

In addition, in the above-mentioned blowing operation, the above-mentioned patent application No. 1-7

In addition, the bubble generating vortex WI (^) configured as described above can send a driving output to the control section (C) described above while being held in the hand, separately from the operation panel section (8). A remote controller (30) is housed in a controller storage case (30'') with the bathroom side facing (w) so as to be freely put in and taken out.

[Remote controller description]

The remote controller (30) will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 9.

That is, the remote controller (30) has a waterproof structure as a whole, and as shown in FIG. Display section (59) and battery ([
1), and an operation switch section (33) is provided on the surface of the case (31).

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the controller case (31) includes an upper case (34), a lower case (35), and an infrared ray interposed between the front ends of both cases (34) and (35). A partition wall (3B) (so-called smoke top) and a partition wall (3B) interposed between the rear portions of both cases (34) and (35) to isolate the electric circuit chamber (39) and the battery chamber (40).
7) and a lid body 38 that is removably attached between the rear right side walls of both cases (34) and (35) to open and close the battery compartment (40).
It is formed from 〉.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the upper case (34) has a rectangular opening (34a) in the left half, and the gist of the present invention can be read through the opening (34a). The surface of the blow state display section (59) can be exposed, and four operation switch mounting sections (34b) each having a U-shape in plan view and a stepped concave shape are provided along the front, rear, side, and right sides of the opening (34a). is formed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the operation switch section (33) has a sheet-like membrane switch (70) provided with a click feeling installed in the operation switch section mounting recess (34b). A surface sheet (71) is stretched over the surface of the switch (70>).

The membrane switch (70) is provided with a large number of various operation switches (72), and each F1i operation switch (
72), it is possible to start plow operation etc. separately from the operation panel section (6).

In addition, among the various operation switches (72) shown in FIG.

Further, (85) is a child lock display section.

The child lock operation is performed by pressing one of the above-mentioned plow switches, for example, twice in succession, and a code signal is transmitted using infrared rays as a carrier based on a preset serial code transmission signal. When the infrared receiving section (9) detects such infrared rays, the control section (C) controls the circulation pump (P) so that it cannot operate, and no matter how much the operation panel section (6> is operated), the blowing operation cannot be started. That's what I do.

This ensures the child's safety by having the adult perform the above operations in advance when the child takes a bath, so that even if the child accidentally operates the operation panel (6), the blow operation will not start. It is something that

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the electric circuit section (32) has a board (45) (printed circuit board) disposed inside the electrical circuit section room (39), and the board (45) A blow status display section (59) and three light emitting diodes (47) (4g) (49) as infrared transmitters are attached in a conductive state, and an operation switch section <33> is attached to the same board (45>).

The light emitting diodes (47) on the left and right sides can emit infrared rays toward the front, and the light emitting diodes (47) on the left and right sides
48) and (49) are capable of transmitting infrared rays downwardly on the left and right sides, respectively.

Furthermore, by operating the operation switch section (33), each light emitting diode (47), (4B), and (49) transmits a predetermined code corresponding to each operation switch based on the serial code transmission signal set in advance. The signal is transmitted using infrared rays as a carrier, and the infrared rays are detected by the infrared receiving section (9>) (see FIG. 2).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. )
(60> A blow state display plate (6I) placed on top of the blow state display plate (6I), and a blow state visual recognition window plate (63) whose upper half is fitted into the opening (34a) of the upper case (34>) from the inside; It consists of a buffer member (64) interposed between the same window board (63) and a blow status display board (61).

In addition, as shown in Fig. 3, the blow status display board (61) displays various jet forms selected by the bather by operating the operation switch section (33) using a liquid crystal display (LCD) operated by a driver. The liquid crystal display using the blow status display board (61) constitutes the gist of the present invention, and will be explained in detail later.

In addition, the blow status viewing window plate (63) is molded from a synthetic resin such as transparent polycarbonate, polysulfone, or acrylonitrile butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin, so that the blow status display plate (61) can be seen through.
The display board (61) is protected.

Also, in the blow state display section (59) shown in FIG.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the jet flow form dot display section (86) has 14 dot rows arranged vertically in 5 rows in the horizontal direction, and displays the dynamic state of the jet flow by blinking each dot. It is possible to display the amount of hot water sprayed and the location of the spray (foot side, back side, open side).

and a jet-type dot display section (86) for liquid crystal display;
Bath water spout position display section (87a) (87b) (87c)
, strength level display section (88), random display section (89)
, and jet flow shape indicator parts (90) (91) (92) (93
) (94) is the location where the energized vertical pin connection line (PI) (P2) (1'3) intersects with the horizontal pin connection lines (P4) to (P37) in the pin connection diagram shown in Figure 9. is lit.

For example, pin connection vertical line (P3) and pin connection horizontal line (P9)
When energized, the dot in the upper left corner lights up.

When each blow switch is turned on 1111, a dynamic display as shown in FIGS. 10 to 15 is displayed on the jet type dot display section (86).

Below, dynamic displays of each jet flow form, that is, mild blow spot blow, pulse blow, wave blow cycle blow, and random blow, are shown in Figures 10 to 1.
This will be explained with reference to FIG.

(Mild blow) For mild blow, each jet nozzle (2) (3) (4)
In order to dynamically display this type of jet flow, the upper 10 tiers are arranged in 5 horizontal rows, and the tiers immediately below There are two horizontal rows of dots, and a row of flashing dots in the center of the bottom three rows, and only the bottom part is tapered to create a mild blow where a large amount of bath water is spouted from the bottom to the top. The image is given to the bather.

That is, when the mild blow switch (74) is turned on, as shown in Figure 10a, the bottom row of dots lights up first, and then the dots light up in a stacked manner upwards for a certain period of time, for example, every 0.1 seconds. Then, all the lights are turned on as shown in Figure 1b.

This all-light display makes the bather imagine that the mild blow operation has started.

Then, after a certain period of time, for example 0.1 seconds, after the first light is turned on, the first light is turned on.
As shown in the diagram, two dots disappear from the lowest dot, and the two extinct dots move upwards one by one. The display of turning off the side lights is repeated one after another until the top stage is reached and all the lights are turned on as shown in the first Od diagram.

By blinking the dots, the unlit dots move step by step from the bottom to the top, making the bather imagine that mild blow bath water is being squirted from the bottom to the top.

In addition, after full lighting, for example, 1.0 seconds later, as shown in FIG.
Return to the dot display shown in Figure a and repeat the dynamic display described above.

(Spot blow) Spot blow is performed by each jet nozzle (2) (3) (4
) is a jet form with a small amount of hot water spouted out and a high jet pressure, and in order to dynamically display such a jet form,
As shown in the figure, the upper two rows have five horizontal rows, the middle upper row has three rows, and the lower five rows have one row of flashing dots in the center. The bather is made to imagine a spot blow blowing upwards with a shiatsu-like feel.

Then, when the spot blow switch (75) is turned on, the bottom dot lights up, as shown in Figure 11a.
The lights are turned on one by one in a stacked manner upwards for a certain period of time, for example, every 0.1 seconds, and are all turned on in the form shown in FIG. 11b.

This full-light display allows the bather to imagine that the spot blow operation has started.

Then, after a certain period of time, for example, 0.1 seconds after all the lights are lit, the 11th
As shown in figure c, two dots disappear from the lowest dot, and the two disappeared dots move upwards one by one. The display of turning off the light on the upper row side is repeated in sequence, and each row is made to blink in turn, until the top row is reached, as shown in the 1st ID diagram.
All lights on.

By blinking the dots, the unlit dots move step by step from the bottom to the top, making the bather imagine that acupressure-like bath water is being squirted downward from below.

In addition, after full lighting, for example, 1 and 0 seconds later, as shown in Fig.
Returning to the dot display shown in Figure 1a, the above dynamic display is repeated.

(Pulse blow) Pulse blow uses individual jet nozzles (2) (3) (4
) is opened and closed periodically to alternately blow out and stop the bath water.As shown in Figure 12, this jet flow has the same shape as a spot blow, that is, a shape that gradually tapers downward. For a certain period of time, for example, 1.5 seconds, as shown in Figure 12a, the lights are turned on completely, and then for a certain period of time, for example, 0.5 seconds, as shown in Figure 12b, the jets do not come out in pulses. It is designed to allow bathers to visualize the blow-drying effect they will receive.

(Wave blow) Wave blow is a jet type that periodically changes the rotation speed of the circulation pump (P) to periodically change the amount and pressure of the bath water, and this jet type is dynamically displayed. As much as possible
As shown in Figure 13a, by programming 38 lighted dots to display two large and small triangles on the top and bottom in two consecutive screens, the waves that approach and return to the bather are created. I am trying to give an image of this.

That is, when the wave blow switch (76) is turned on, as shown in FIG. 13a, the lit dots move from the upper stage to the lower stage one stage at a time, for example, every 0.1 seconds, increasing in size from the top to the bottom. Two waves flow twice in succession,
The idea is to make bathers imagine that bath water is gushing out in waves.

Also, after the 38 dots have migrated as described above, the 13th b.
As shown in the figure, for example, every 0.1 seconds, the lit dots move from the bottom to the top one step at a time, and waves of two sizes, large and small, flow from the bottom to the top twice, creating a wavy bath. The idea is to make bathers imagine that hot water is gushing out.

In this way, the image of waves coming and going back can be given to the bather by the transition of the lighted dots as shown in FIGS. 13a and 13b.

(Cycle Blow) Cycle blow is a jet flow type that allows you to enjoy the change in the location where bath water is spouted by automatically and periodically changing the location where bath water is spouted.

That is, cycle blowing is, for example, opening each jet nozzle for a certain period of time in the order of back jet nozzle (3) (3) - open side jet nozzle (4) (4) - leg side jet nozzle (2) (2). At this time, the bath water is spouted from each spout nozzle (2), (3), and (4) in the form of the above-mentioned mild blow, spot blow, wave blow,
Furthermore, a jet flow form in which mild blow and acupressure blow are periodically changed can be adopted.

In addition, in order to dynamically display the jet flow configuration as described above, the 14th
As shown in Figure b, the shape is the same as that of the mild blow, that is, only the lower part is tapered, and as shown in Figure 14c, there is an isosceles triangular shape that gradually spreads from the left column to the right column. , as shown in FIG. 14d, an isosceles triangular shape that gradually diffuses from the right column to the left column;
As shown in Fig. 14f, the mild blow is inverted vertically so that only the upper part is tapered, so that the bather can visually see the change in the ejection location.

That is, when the cycle blow switch (77) is turned on, the dots at the bottom light up as shown in FIG. All lights are turned on in the form shown in Fig. 14b.

Such a dynamic display allows the bather to visually recognize that bath water is being spouted from the back spout nozzles (3) (3).

Further, after 0.5 seconds, for example, all the lights are turned off, and after 0.5 seconds, as shown in FIG. The lights are lit one by one in parallel to the i side, all lights are turned on, and all lights are turned off after 0.5 seconds, for example.

Such a dynamic display allows the bather to visually recognize that bath water is being spouted from the open side nozzle (4) on the left side.

Furthermore, after, for example, 0.5 seconds after the above-mentioned complete extinguishment, the row of dots on the right side lights up, as shown in Figure 14d, and the dot rows light up in parallel to the left side for a certain period of time, for example, every 0.1 seconds. All lights are turned on, and all lights are turned off after 0.5 seconds, for example.

With such dynamics and display, the bather can visually confirm that the bath water is being spouted from the open side nozzle (4>) on the right side.

Further, for example, 0.5 seconds after the above-mentioned complete extinguishment, the top row of dots lights up, as shown in Fig. 14e, and the dots continue to light up one row at a time downward for a fixed period of time, for example, every 0.1 seconds. , all lights are turned on in the form shown in FIG. 14f.

Due to this dynamic display, the foot side jet nozzle (2) (2)
This allows the bather to visually recognize that the bath water is being spouted.

Further, all the lights are turned off after 0.5 seconds, for example, and after 0.5 seconds have elapsed, the display returns to the dot display shown in FIG. 14a, and the dynamic display described above is repeated.

(Random blow) Random blow is a method in which the jet form, jet strength, and jet location are arbitrarily combined or changed over time according to a preset program to diversify the changes in the jet flow. You can enjoy the unexpected combination order of jet flow shapes that are not based on a trick.

In order to dynamically display such a jet form, a dynamic display of a mild blow is shown in FIG. 15a, a dynamic display of a spot blow is shown in FIG. 15b, a dynamic display of a pulse blow is shown in FIG. 15c, a dynamic display of a pulse blow is shown in FIG. 15d, and FIG. The dynamic display of the cycle blow shown in Figure 5e and the dynamic display of the wave blow shown in Figure 15f allow the bather to visually recognize unexpected changes in the jet flow form.

That is, in the dynamic display of the mild blow shown in FIG. 15a, the dots at the bottom are lit first, and then, for example, every 0.1 seconds, the dots are lit upward one by one in a stacked manner until all the dots are lit.

In the spot blow dynamic display shown in FIG. 15b, the dots at the bottom are first lit, and then, for example, the dots are lit up in a stacked row upwards every 0.1 seconds until all dots are lit.

In addition, in the pulse blow dynamic display shown in Fig. 15c,
In the same form as a spot blow, for example, turn on all lights for 1.0 seconds,
After that, for example, the display of being in love for 0.5 seconds is repeated twice, and the next dynamic display of blows is made.

In addition, in the cycle blow dynamic display shown in Fig. 15d, the dots light up in a stacked manner one by one from the bottom to the top in the same form as the mild blow dynamic display, and the dots are lit in a stacked manner from the bottom to the top, and the dorsal jet nozzle (3') (3 ), it is visible that mild blow bath water is gushing out.

In addition, in the dynamic display of cycle blow shown in Fig. 15e, the dynamic display of mild blow is inverted vertically, and the dots light up one by one from the top row downward, and the foot side jet nozzle (2 ) From (2), it is visible that mild blow bath water is gushing out.

Further, in the dynamic display of the wave blow shown in Fig. 1.5f, after the dynamic change in which 38 dots move upward and downward, the dynamic display of the next blow is displayed.

Also, when transitioning to the dynamic display of each blow, for example, 0
．． I try to feel passionately for 5 seconds.

In addition, in this example, pulse blow, wave blow,
Three types of modes are set for each of cycle blow and random blow, and the modes are similar to those described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1-73367 previously filed by the present applicant.

Furthermore, when changing each mode in each jet form, the display starts from the first dynamic display.

In addition, the mode selected by the bather is indicated by the display section corresponding to the mode selected among the A-B-C mode display sections (95), (9B), and (97) lighting up so that the bather can visually see the mode. I'm trying to make it possible.

In addition, the dynamic display of each jet form by the Dra I display is not limited to the above-mentioned display, but is a dynamic display pattern that allows bathers to visually visualize the jet form, jet strength, and jet location. That's fine.

Further, in the jet flow type dot display section (86), it is possible to display not only the jet flow type but also a timer display using a dot display.

For example, immediately after operating the mild blower for one minute, a dot "1" can be displayed on the dot display section (86) to visually confirm that one minute has passed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the blow status display section (59) is provided on the remote controller (30);
59> may be provided on the operation panel section (6>), or
It can also be installed independently on the bathroom wall.

Further, the remote controller (30) and the control unit (C) are capable of two-way communication using infrared rays as a carrier, so that the same dynamic display as the blow mode actually being operated can be displayed in real time. You can also do it.

The embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and according to this embodiment, the following effects are produced.

That is, in this embodiment, the remote controller (30
), the circulation pump (P) and each jet nozzle (2)
(3) Since (4) can be operated via the control unit (C), the person who is famous is using the same remote controller (30).
By holding it in your hand, you can easily change the jet flow shape, etc. in any bathing position.

In addition, the remote controller (30) is equipped with a blow status display section (59), which can display the blow status graphically, so those entering Kyoto can visually check the graphically displayed blow status. You can enjoy bathing while doing so.

At this time, the blow status display unit (59) displays dots on the liquid crystal display, and the blinking of the dots enables dynamic display of the jet flow form, so the bather can see the dynamic changes in the displayed jet flow form. It can be visually recognized, which increases the enjoyment of bathing.
